A most disgraceful spectacle was witness- ed on our streets one morning last week, when the corpse of an old man who had died in the Poor House was being driven to one of our churches for the last rites. The driver did not merely trot the horse but fairly raced it along Dorchester Street ata speed worthy of a race course.
* * *
Had this been the first case of brutality in this direction it should not pass without censure, but we have had_ the testimony of a lady who was horrified a year or two ago to see that a waggon racing down the hill towards Sherwood Cemetery contained a coffin which was almost being thrown out of the vehicle at such a speed was the driver forcing the horse. Of course it was ‘‘only a pauper,” but on that account none the less deplorably disgusting.
+ %
*
If we remember rightly, the Grand Jury at the last term of the Supreme Cout, drew attention to the need of reform in matters relating to the poor of the Province ; the burial of the government poor would also seem to call for critical serutiny.
*
Wedo not class ourselves among those who seem to luxuriate and revel in the dregs of heathenish funeral rites, nor even to relish—as, by the way, Her Most Gra- cious Majesty the Queen, is said to do—the peculiar teelings awakened by attention to the veriest details of funeral arrangements, but we view with some regret the tendency evidently growing among us to show a di- minishing respect for the funerals of our dead.
*,*
In “‘the old days” no one went to a funeral in conspicuously colored hats; but now-a-days a funeral cortege is-often dis- figured by the thoughtlessness of some in- different person who is too indolent to as- sume a habit fitting the respectful and sac.-
dening duty he is performing. * *
Another sad want of respect is too often apparent, when a little mud will drive one part of a funeral procession to walk on one side of the street and another on the other, while the hearse goes on its way followed by only the nearesé relatives of the de- ceased.
**
Contrast the touching sight of our coun- try people who, nearly to a man, stop their horses or remain themselves standing with uncovered heads as a funeral passes, with the thoughtless haste which will sometimes drive a man to cross the street between the ranks of a funeral. Yet these are incidents of not infrequent occurrence.
**
Too much praise cannot be accorded such a man as the late Rev. George W. Hodgson, who was instrumental toa great extent in doing away with the senselessly extravagant outlay which used to characterize funerals; but, on the other hand, a want of respect for what should be a tender office—the last we perform for the body of our friends—is to be regretted and viewed with feelings of concern.
+ *
We are pleased to see that charitable people have been devoting their time and money to cleaning up and beautifying the old English Church burial ground on the Malpeque Road, and Catholic graveyards on the St. Peter's Road.
+ *
It seems to be the fashion just now to make a pilgrimage on Sunday afternoons to the various resting places of the dead. This we are glad to see, for while it continues people will for respectibility’s sake, if for no other reason,keep the graves of their friends as they should be kept in a Christian and orderly community.
Interesting Information.
The Whitehall Review says: *‘ At dinner the other night, the conversation lapsed, as it sometimes will lapse with the best, into questions ,hardly distinguishable from con- undrums. A celebrated historian was pre- sent, and i put a question to him which I know has puzzled a great many people at different times, ‘What is the surname of the Royal family? ‘Guelph, of course.’ That is the usual answer, and it was the historian’s. I ventured to suggest that, although the Royal family are Guelphs by descent,her Majesty’s marriage with Prince Albert, of Saxe-Coburg, must have the effect which the marriage of a lady has in
all other cases, and that the surname of the present house must be the Prince Consort's.
‘But then what is the surname of the Prince Consort’s family? Simple but staggering. No one knew. All guessed and all were wrong. I happened to have looked up the subject a few months ago, so I knew the name was ‘Wettin.’ Of course no one heard it before. Every one smiled at the horrible idea of the Guelphs being The point was re- ferred to Theodore Martin. ‘You are quite right,’ said the graceful biographer of the Prince Consort, ‘Wettin is the family name of the House of Saxony, to whom the Dominion of Saxony came in the year 1420. The King of Saxony and all the minor princes of the House of Saxony are there- fore all of the German, Wettiner.’ ” Measrs. Kiysman & Co: We wish to say that cur son was very il] with whoping cough. We were very near giving himup. Our hysician said his chances were very poor. Ve were urged to try your Adamson’s Bal- sam, and, our physician giving his consent, we decided to doso. We won't say it saved his life, but we know it cured him of whoop- ing — and he is now a strong, healthy boy. We use it in our family always. John

The Halifax Celebration.
(Special Correspondewe of The Examiner.)
To leave the demonstration in the Public Gardens on Tuesday evening without refer- ring to the music and concert would be an unpardonable omission, On the new Memorial Band Stand, erected about the centre of the Gardens to commemorate the Jubilee, stood the magnificent band of the York and Lancaster Regiment —both bands and regin.est being Sy far the finest in Halifax. In the immense Skating Rink was another band, which furnished music to those who tripped ‘“‘the light fantastic toe.” This at times was an amusing scene. The old Rink was continually packed full, while on the ‘ floor” the devotees of the dance had hardly room to hop. The red jecket, and the blue jacket, and every phase of human life were represented on the floor, including the ebony inhabitant from Africa. “Twas surely a mixed throng ‘* bent all on pleasure, heedless of its end.”
Wednesday morning was not propitious. The day threatened to be rainy, but at 9 o'clock scores of the brethren of the ‘Mystic Tie” might be seen moving towards the Masonic Hall. Masons, from time immemorial, have been marked for their loyalty, and on this occasion were de- termined to suitably pay their tribute of respect in a befitting manner. The Entered Apprentices, the Fellow Crafts, the Master Masons, the Mark Masters, the Past Mas- ters, the Excellent Masters, the Royal Arch Masons, the Knight Templars and the Knights of Malta were duly represent-
ed—the Grand Lodge _ of Nova Scotia occupying the post of honor.
In full Masonic costume, with ban- ners, emblems and jewels nota few, the Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons _pre- sented a fine appearance. Headed by the band of the 63rd they marched to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, where the Rev. D. C. Moore of Stellarton, past deputy grand master and grand chaplain of Nova Scotia, preached a very appropriate discourse. A choir of over fifty trained voices filled the chancel. To hear the singing of that choir was worth going all the way to Halifax. The anthems and other special pieces were supremely grand, Service over, the pro- cessiun reformed and after marching through several of the principal streets which were crowded with on-lookers re- turned to masonic hall. By this time the clerk of the weather had decided not to have any rain till after night, which was very acceptable to the thousands and thou- sands who had crowded to Point Pleasant, MacNab’s Island and every other available spot—steamers and boats being also brought into requisition—to witness the naval demonstration. Your correspondent witnessed it from Point Pleasant, and was duly impressed with the fact that it was well for H. M. 8. Pylades that it was only a ‘“‘mimic” attack. Halifax is well worth visiting simply to view its invincible forts. York redoubt, Point Pleasant, MacNab’s Island, Fort Clarence, George's Island and crowning them ail Citadel Hill, are forts bearing ordnance capable of sinking the strongest ships afloat. Add to these the mines of torpedoes spread all over the en- trance and up the harbor, and you can readily understand how it is that the or- dinary Halligonian rests so securely and contentedly every morning while all the rest of the world is astir.

Items from the West.
The crops towards the west end of the Island are not nearly so far advanced as those between Summerside and Charlotte- towp. The hay crop is not, on an average, very promising this season, im any particu- lar locality. By far the best field we have seen is that owned by Rev. N. C. Boud- reault, of Miscouche.
Tignish is already being visited by a number of tourists. Trout fishing seems to be one of the great attractions. A few of our ‘‘clerical friends” are reported to have made a ‘‘a big haul” a short time ago, but it is nuw an established fact that some of the fish were elegantly little.
Prior to their departure for their respec- tive homes, the pupils of the Miscouche Convent gave a very enjoyable entertain- ment on Friday evening last, the 24th inst. The programme, which consisted of music, recitations and dramas, was of a spicy character, and was rendered in such a way as to reflect much credit upon the instruc- tors as well as upon the pupils,
We learn with pleasure that our friend, Mr. G. G. Gaudet, who lately took his de- parture from amongst us, has been taken into the employ of L. Arthur & Co., Com- mission Merchants, Boston. Mr. Arthur is one of the most enterprising and success- ful of our Islanders abroad; and we con- gratulate him upon his good fortune in securing the services of a fellow-countryman who is so highly competent to further the interests of his firm. Apart from his aatural abilities as a business man, Mr. Gaudet is in possession of a diploma from the Charlottetown Business College. The number of points scored by him have been equalled by only one, and surpassed by none since the opening of this institution, some twelve or fourteen years ago.
Dr. Cunningham, of Cambridge, Mass., is spending a few days with his parents at Miscouche. The Doctor has been “doing” Nova Scotia for the past weeks, and, after spending a few weeks more cn his native Isle, he intends returning home@y way of Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.
