To the Editor of the Examiner: Srr,—Altbough the times are said to be}
hard in all tradimg countries, and that through- out Europe; and, although itis said in America, | ‘there is at presenta conilict between capitaland |
labor, yet it is pleasing to tind that among our city churches provision is being made—as in former years—to meets the wants of the poor during the cold of winter; and that in some instances, at least, the employers of labor, with those in their employ, are disposed to work together for the attainment of the ob- ject for which they have entered into existing relationships. minus the bad feeling which in some lands now exists among such parties. Those remarks, Mr. Editor, shall serve as an introduction to a pleasing circumstance which to-day came beneath my uotice. Being on Kent Street in this city about the hour of noon, | was informed by a friend that some- thing unusual had just occurred in the fur- niture manufactory of which our fellow- citizen, Mr. Mark Butcher, is the proprietor, I at once turned my steps in the direction of the aforementioned establishment, and upon looking into the office 1 beheld 4 superb, I may say a magnificent water pitcher—large, beauti- ful and costly,—which fourteen of the hands
in Mr. Butcher's employ had just pre- sented him with; and upon enquiry I found that the men ~0on their
way totheir homes at the dinner hour had calied in at the office to present to their employer the ‘‘ The Compliments of the Season,” and to ask, without the formality of a written address, his acceptance of this splendid token of their regard for one, in whose employ some of them had been engaged for the long period of between thirty and forty years. With this spontaneous expression of good feeling between master and workmen, I was greatly pleased— and taking a turn through the workshops, and while in conversation with one of the hands I asked what they had paid for the fine look- ing and useful article, which they had left in the office on their way to dinner, and he told me it cost something like twenty-five dollars. The gift presented will doubtless be continued in the Butcher family for future generations, and be pointed to by children and grand caildren, as evidence of the high position which the present Proprietor ot the Kent Street Furniture Manutactory stood in the estimation of his work-people on the last day in the year of grace 1878.

The Queen's Health.
PASSING THROUGH A TRYING ORDEAL. .
(London Standard. )
Notwithstanding the Queen’s health which is robust, her poignant grief is be- yond imagination ; her constitution—with that abnormal imperviousness to frigid weather —is significant of a long life, and it is a matter for remark, setting aside its no- toriety, that Her Majesty is quite indiffer- ent to the climate, even when those of her suite are suffering intensely from cold. Physically, therefore, in His good provi- dence our beloved Queen possesses more than the average strength of her sex ; but when such untoward events as the decease of her children occur, the matter is altered, and mentally her health suffers. It is not too much to state that the Queen is sensi- tive to an extraordinary degree, and her very high instinct of intelligence renders her appreciative in a likedegree. Only a short time prior to the irreparable loss she has sus- tained in the decease of the peor Princess Alice, Her Majesty expressed her despair as to the possibility of avoiding a rupture with Russia, and the bare probability of so great a calamity to England and the Kuropean continent is stated to have filled her mind with the greatest horror and greatest apprehensions. It need scarcely be remarked that the Queen is not one of those morally facile people who can con- template the awful responsibility of war with a buoyant spirit. On the contrary, from the commencement of this apparently unsolvable enigmatical Eastern question, she has labored in season and out of season for peace, and not unfrequently used her very utmost endeavors to aid the diplomats in the one question which has of late per- plexed all and very grade of European statesmen. The loss of her daughter, coupled with the probability of her noble efforts being foiled,’has caused her poignant grief and regret, but the gravest remorse has been caused by the sudden, and it may be stated, unexpected call to the long home of the Prineess Alice and her grand- child. The strain upon an already over- wrought brain by these appalling events
can more readily be surmised by the mothers throughout this contin- ent than it is capable for a to
portray, although there is—from the most reliable sources—no immediate cause for apprehension, lest Her Majesty should be even temporarily unequal to the arduous duties which she is called upon to perform in her bereavement, and which she always fulfils in a most unparalleled conscientious- ness, yet it is not impertinent to suppose that our beloved Monarch is passing through an exceedingly trying ordeal, and one which we would fain glad to chronicle had been spared the illustrious lady who rules these realms.

the passengers by the mail steamer Polyne-
sian, which arrived on Sunday, was a gen man from Sweden with his family, who left for Ottawa yesterday afternoon, to negotiate with the Government for a grant of land— probably in Manitoba or Keewatin. Should he succeed im obtaining suitable land, he will go back to Sweden and bring out 10,- 000 of his fellow countrymen. He says times were never known to be so bad in the history of their country, as they are in Sweden at the present. He is a well edu cated, nobie-looking man, six feet four and half inches high, and measured 55 inches round the chest. I£ he is a specimen of those who desire to come out, they will certainly be a most desirable acquisition to the population of this country.

Russia’s Domestic Troubles.
A STUDENTS’ RIOT AT KIEFF—EIGHTY PER- &ONS KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The Times’ Vienna correspondent, giving details of the riot of the students of the University of Kieff, Russia, says : ‘“‘ The students, ina meeting held outside of the town, decided to protest against closing the University. A body of them, well armed, accordingly proceeded to the University and forced their way in, after disarming the town police. They then fixed on a black- board an energetic protest against the arbi- trary proceedings of the authorities. Two companies of local military tried to disperse the students, who resisted, and therefore a collision ensued, in which eighty persons were killed and wounded on both sides. Many students were arrested. Similar riots ona smalier scale are said to have broken out im other university towns of Russia. It is believed there is an intention of proclaiming a state of siege in Keiff and Kharkoff. Orders have been sent to the police at their frontier to redouble their vigilance.”’
a
Murder at Quebec.
A MAN WHO HAD NOT BEEN ASKED TO HAVE A DRINK, KILLS THE PERSON WHO TREATED—-THE MURDERER IN CHARGE OF THE POLICE.
QueBEec, Dec. 30.—A very mysterious murder was committed about seven o’clock to-night, near the Quarry. It appears that amannamed Jobin, about sixty years of age, in company with one LePage, a bailiff, and a young man named Theriault, drove up to a saloon on Patrick street, kept by one Lusignan, where a ruffian named Clavet, whose father isa very respectable trader in Champlain street, together with brother and a yeung man named Chamber- lain, were lounging about. Jobin calling for a drink and not inviting Clavet and his friends, Clavet uttered a string of oaths and swore he would have revenge. Fol- lowing Jobin and party out to their carry- all, Clavet assaulted them, when Lepage remonstrated with him, and Jobin becom- ing frightened, ran away. Clavet started after him. He had got but a short distance when Clavet came upon him and appar- ently grabbed him by the throat. Aftera
ground apparently dead. Medical assist- ance was summoned, but to no avail. The police were immediately communicated with and Sergeant Welch, with a posse of police- men, started in pursuit of the murderer. They arrested him in his father’s house shortly afterwards.
It was reported about Summerside on Monday that a debter in the jail, Mr. Robert Tuplin, had the small-pox, but fortunately the report turns out to be un- true. Mr. Tuplin, however, was brought from his own house in Alberton, where a case of small-pox existed, and was lodged in jail the Journal says with a number of other debtors. This seems to us, to say the very least, an injudicious proceoding. If the lives of seventeen or eighteen people are to be imperiled in this manner, we think it is high time for the people of this country to bestir themselves to have the obnexious law of imprisonment for debt abolished.
A young man called on our obliging Post- master for a marriage license, ar when he found the Government had raised the price from $2.40 to $4.00 for a license, he said he could not afford to get married this ; and buy a diamond ring, and then a wedding tour to Hantsport—.it would break a millionaire. The large number of auffer- ing young men ought to influence the Gov- ernment to sell at reduced prices during the winter. — Windsor, N.S. Mail.
