McLeod, of | large

Prince of Wales College, has been appointed to the office from which Mr. Nicholson has

been ejected. We have been assured that

Mr. McLeod did not seek the office, and | great Western Fair!

that he consented to accept it only when he was told that Mr. Nicholson would be dismissed in any case.

During a!! the years that the Conserva- tives were in office, Mr. McLeod held his position as one of the professors of Prince of Wales Coilege—though it was well- known that he was a steadfast supporter of the Liberal party. His salary may not have been as large as he could have desir-

ed. But he was not singular in this re- spect. The late Mr. L:Page and other of-

ficials who had supported the Conserva- tive party had to put up with small sal- aries. Mr. McLeod did his duty, and he

was retained at the College,— because the Educational garded as non-political. But, on the acces- sion of the Grits, Mr. Arbuckle, Mr. Cain

and Mr. Nicholson were dismissed—though

traversed the spirit of Free Education, are not true representatives of the people.

We shall not detract from the char- acter of Mr. McLeod. Let him be judged by the results of his efforts as Superinten- dent of Education. His long experience in Prince of Wales College and Normal School will, perhaps, enable. him to suggest improvements in respect to that important institution which might prove to be bene- ficial to the Province, though his appvint- ment in mid-term must result in the disar- rangement of its classes and loss on the part of ita students of the current year. It is greatly to beregretted that Mr. MeLeod is in any way concerned in an act which can- nut be defended and which everyone not closely connected with the Government

condemns; an act of which even the Patriot seems to be ashamed. It is significant that the leading organ of the Government Party is silent about the outrage.

We learn that Mr. Nicholson will leave his native Province in the course of a few weeks, to seek a position in another part of Canada, ce

Notes apd Comments.

—The redoubtable Mr. Pacaud is report- ed to have said: ‘“‘Any other man in my place would have acted in a similar muan- ner.” Yes, says the Empire, we are rather inclined to think that the agent of Messrs. Laurier and Mercier would have acted just exactly as Pacaud did. So far, Mr. Pacaud and the rest of the community are at one.

—During the session of parliament which has just closed, more measures have baen passed than in any previous session. The total number of acts is 136, of which 55 were Government measures, one a pub- lic bill and 80 private. The private legis- lation is made up as follows : jRailway bills, 45; bridge and tunnel companies, 8; insurance, 4; banks, 3; loan and land com- panies, 3; other companies, 13; divorce, 4; total, 80.

—An identical nots has been issued by england and Germany in response to the note Issued by the Chinese Government, in which the Pekin authorities promised to protect the lives and property of foreigners in China. Inthis note England and Ger- many state that they accept the assurances ot China’s good intentions, but declare they will be compelled to consult their ambagsadors at Pekin in regard to the ability of the Chinese Government to carry out itajintentions. The note says that only the-evidence of accomplished facts will sat- is‘y the powers.

—The Winnipeg Free Press (Liberal) thinks that Mr. Lister’s motion for an ex- cursion into an alleged illegal act of Mr. Haggart twelve years ago was properly resisted. It says :

“In spite of all that was said on the Op- position side, there was nothing to show that in this instance was there any other object in view or purpose to be gained than to daub the Government with another coat of scandal. Sir Joan Thompson will be held justified in sking the House to refuse an investigation

ich coald not have resulted in the least geod, but the manner and circum- stanceg Of which would have reflected gravely on thercharacter of Parliament itself.” Agriculturist says : ‘*The dismissa of Mr. &, A. Nicholson, B. A., Superinten- dent of Hducation for this province, which was chronicled two or three days ago, is a genuine surprise tu tie people of Prince Edward Island, who considered that the educational department had been suftici- ently outraged by the dismissal of the late Inspectors. The educational system of this Province has been degraded to the level of a mere political machine to satisfy the de- mands of some ambitious oftice-seekers and to gratify the spitesul feelings of some over-

bearing membeis of the Government. It was never intended by the framers of the Public Schools Act, or by those who have administered the government of the Island, previous to the advent of the present com- bination, that our admirable educational ee —— be used as a mere party , it has been left to the present government to so degrade it and outrage the feelings of every friend of education.

SATURDAY,

Autumn. Robed in thy raiment of splendor, Rich trappings of parple and gold ; Brighter than mirage of dreamland ‘Thou lightenest mountain and wold. Streameth thy rays o'er the forest ; And the green of the sombre pine And the crimson of the maple leaf Are wreathed ia a lustre divine.

Clo hed is fair earth of thy fulness ; Enriched is the bloom of the flower ; Fiom verdant to radiant beauty Thou shadest the gay trellised bower. Thy smile doth paint the yellow corn ; Thou sing’st in rustle of the sheaves ; Thy symphonies of praise ascend la twitter of the orchard leaves.

Calm, mellow skies look kindly down

On tree-clad hill, on fruitful vale ; Whilst marineis, on far-off seas,

Hoist canvas te the homeward gale, Thy generous hand doth fill the cup

With choice reward, fur labor's crown ; Thy teeming fields revvice that hope

W hich biancheth not ‘neath Winter's frown.

For though earth’s life-sustaining store Is gathered trom her boupteous breast ; Though leaflets fall on bare, brown floor, And nature lieth long at rest. The snows,shall flit at spring's warm breath, And over winter's cold, lone bier Again shall autumn lays peal forth ; Again shall mercy crown the year. Mrs. A. D. MacLaog, * Maria Hayden Fergus. _

FARMERS’ GLUB.

NUMBER of the Farmers of Donagh,

Johnston's River and adjoining Settie- ments met in Glenfinnan Schoolhouse on Thursday, 17th September, for the purpose of forming a Farmer's Club, to be known as “The Farmers’ Club of Hickey’s Wharf.” After adopting a code of By-lawa for their guidance, the following officers were elected :

President—James J. Trainor, Vice-President— Patrick Sherry. Cor. Secretary—David McDonald. Rec. Secretary—James E. Laverty. Treasurer—Jamea Murnaghan.

health. She finally succumbed to heart failure. During her early life she was very delicate and the physicians thought she would never live to see her eighteenth year, but as she grew older she grew stronger, and her age was prolonged nine years beyond the three score and ten = us- ually allotted to mankind. Until recently she was the first one of the family to rise in the morning, and she seldom took a nap during the day, being invariably engaged in some kind of work.

Maria Hayden Fergus, the widow of Thomas Howard Fergus,, was bern at Haydenville, Prince Edward Island, ary- enty-nine years ago, and was the daughter of Alexander Hayden, a ship builder, After her marriage to ‘homas H. Fergus, the two came south to Boston andthen to Philadelphia and West Chester, where Mr. Fergus became popular as a music teacher. Thirty years ago there were very few stu- dents of music iu West Chester who did not study under him. He and all his family

Trivity, where he held the position of or- ganist for along time. His father was originally a minister in the Church of Eng- land, but dissented from the ereed and

denomination. :

Mrs. Fergus was an artist of some note, and her peucil sketches were covsidered the finest intowu. che also did considerable modelling in plaster, and there are now in possession of the family, life-sized models of the father and daughtcr, all made by the hand of Mrs. Fergus. She was a fine r- former on the guitar, In the palmy old days of the Chester County Agricultural Society she contributed a great many designs in fancy work, which attracted large crowds and always merited the first premium.” She was also much interested in the old Horticultural Society in which she was an energetic worker.

Mrs. Fergus is believed to have been the first taxidermist in West Chester, she having introduced into town the art of stuffing birds, and itis said that it was indirectly through her that Dr. B. Harry Warren, State Ornithclogist, was. given his first ideas of taxidermy.

With all her aceomplishments she was modest and retiring, and the full extent,of her ability was kuown to only a few. In her younger ays she wes much interested in church work and was a constant attendant at Bible class of the Church of the Holy Trinity, but since the advent of the Reform ed Episcopal church, she wasa, consistent member of it.

Four sons and two daughters survive her as follows: Howard whe is married and living in Pheaixville with his wife and two children; Macia aud Helena, who are living at home; Kenneth, who is sinz'e, residiag iu West Chester; Edward who ia warcied and a resident of West ( hester; and 5.

Jamen King was the officiating minister, while Mr. J. P. Milford, the popular druggist — popular in Charlottetown as well as in Cra- paud—and Miss§Minnie E. Myers were the central figures. The church was beautifully decorated and the spectators numbered about four hundred. ‘The bride was, we learn, the recipient of many valuable pre- sents. We heartily congratulate Mr. avo Mrs. Milford, and wish them heslch, wealth, and length of days.
