The Recent Loan,

It took the Toronto Glove two days to muster sufficient courage to write up an article on Mr. Tilley’s last loan. After this delay the Globe managed to say :

“The fuss made by the organs of the Dominion Government over the loan placed the other day on the London Stock Exchange shows more clearly than anything else cou d the state of extreme trepidation into which the whole party had fallen. The loan was an unguaranteed one at four per cent., and was disposed of at the VERY SATISFACTORY RATE or 95.”

The delay was probably occasioned by the consternation created amongst the members ef the Globe staff by the ‘‘very satisfactory” announcement.in reference to the loan.—And it will now be in order for the Globe and other Grit papers to reconcile the statements they have all along been making that the N. P. would literally des- trey Canada’s credit in England, with that contained in the extract quoted above, which is the first few sentences in the leading article of the Globe of Friday.—Moncton Time.

SUCCESS OF CANADIANS— SIR 8. L. TILLEY fAMONG THOSE PRESENT AT THE SHOOTING. Toronto, July 21.—The following special

cablegram appears ifthe Globe :—

At Wimbledon to-day, Canada won a great success. Col. Gibson carried off the Prince of Wales prize, consisting of £100 and a badge. He scored 94 points at three ranges of two, five and six hundred yards, the highest possible score being 105 points. The score next to Col. Gibson was 91. Corp. Gray with a score of 80 points, wins a £5 prize. In the St. George’s prizes, Lieut. Hunter, with a score ef 51 points, wins £3. Asst. Surgeen Aiken 27 points, £2. In the last series of extra prizes private Ogg and Assistant Surgeon Aiken, with scores of 33 points, took the thirteenth and four- teenth prizes respectively. On all sides the Canadians are congratulated. Colonel Gibson's success is very pronounced. His score is a remarkably good one. The Duke of Cambridge visited the camp to-day. Sir Leonard Tilley, Sir John Rose, Ladies Warncliffe and Macdonald were among those present. The Duke inspected the Canadian team and expressed great pleasure at seeing them again. He congratulated them upon winning the Prince of Wales’ prize, the second most important contest at the mecting. England, he said, did not grudge the Canadians the honor they won, tor they form a part of the same empire, engage in the same duty of defence He concluded by assuring the Canadians that they would be always welcome here. Sir Michael Hicks Beach joined in the congra- tulations offered by His Grace the Duke of Cambridge and expressed the pleasure it afforded him to see the team again engaged in the contest. He took the opportunity of announcing that in future a certain pro- portion of the cadets from the military academy of Kingston would be allowed an- nually to take commissions in the British army. Col. Gzowski thanked the Duke and Sir Michael Hicks Beach for their visit. The weather is very fine and the camp is crowded with visitors.

A Laughable Incident.

Two hands on the Cunard steamer ‘‘ Sco- tia” were engaged the other day in rolling off a cask, when, to the consternatien and sur- prise of the persons so occupied and a number of bystanders, a veice was heard within the cask :

* Roll it easy, these plaguy nails hurt. I'd rather pay my passage than stand ail this.’

Holding up their hands, their visuals ex- panded to the size of two saucers, the laborers exclaimed .

‘That beats the dickens !’

The mate coming up at this moment, and, unaware of the cause of delay, commenc cursing them for their dilatoriness, when from within the cask the voice came forth :

‘You're nobody; let me out of this cask,’

* What's that ” asked the mate.

‘Why, it’s me,’ said the voice. ‘I want to get out; | won’t stand it any longer.”

Just then Captain Franklin appeared on the scene and inquired the cause of de- lay. . Stop your talking, and let me out of here,’ came from the cask.

Visions of a smuggled passenger, custom- house officers and the law's interference and delay, fiitted through the genial captain’s brain; and, taking in the situation at a glance, ordered the men to up-end the cask.

‘Oh, don’t! You'll kill me ! said the voice. ‘Oh, how these nails prick. Look out, dont !’ again said the cased-up individual as the men were turning the cask.

‘Cooper,’ said the captain, ‘head the cask, and take that man out.

As the adze sundered the hoops, and the head was coming out, the voice again broke forth :

‘Be easy, now; is there any one about? I don't want to be caught.”

Quite an interesting crowd had new gath- ered around the scene of action, and the entire crew were leaning over the railing, watching and waiting the culmination of events. That cask had been ‘‘below”’ two weeks, It was horrible to think of a human being thus cased up so longatime. Suddenly a loud guttural laugh broke forth, which made our hair stand onanend. The head had been raised. and the cask was filled with—bacon.

‘This is getting interesting,’ said 1 to my friend. ‘Come, professor, let’s go.” And so we strolled along the docks together. My friend referred to was ZERA, the King of Ven- triloquists; and whenever I meet the captain, we laugh together about the sad case of the e.sed-up passenger.— NV. Y. Era.

City Schools.

Betow will be found some interesting stat- istics respecting ‘‘the City Schools.” There is ne doubt that, on the whole, the schools exhibit, as the result of the work of the present year, a marked improvement. Per- haps the greatest advance was made by the Queen Square School ; and none, we think, has retrograded. The staff of teachers is an excellent one; and—feeling that the eyes of the citizens are upon them—that an ac- tive, living interest is being taken in their work—they seem to have put forth all their powers. Doubtless they were materially | assisted by the strivings and emulations ex- cited among the pupils (by the gold and silver medals offered snd given by Messrs. Longworth, Hodgson, DeBlois, Haviland, Brecken, and by Mrs. E. J. Hodgson, The competition for these medals and

for other prizes was exceedingly active among both boys and_ girls. It is a curious fact, too, ,that in

the competition, the girls were the most successful. Miss Bella McLennan carried off the medal for proficiency in the English branches against all comers; and, in the en- deavor to obtain other prizes open to both sexes, the girls proved themselves rather more than matches for the boys. This fact should make the boys apply them- selves with increased dilligence; for, if they do not, they will not, when they céme of age, find themselves undisputed “‘lords of creation. The following are the

City School Returns for half year ending June 30th, 1879.

In mentioning the “City Schools” it would, perhaps, be wrong to mit ‘St. Peter’s School ””—which is an advantage to those, among others, who do not care to send their children to the common schools In his address} at the distribution of prizes, at the end of the last term, Rev. Mr. Hodgson stated that, during the seven years that the school has been at work, over 120 pupils have been educated in it, and, as a proof that the bringing together of all classes is not a peculiar characteristic of state supported schools, he pointed out then that among its former pupils are to be found some studying for the learned professions, some apprenticed to trades, some in shops and offices, and some day

laborers.

The school is under the personal super- vision of the Rev. George W. Hodgson, who is assisted by Messrs. R. D. Bambrick and C. W. Wilson, The attendance dur- ing the year averaged 36.

THE attendance at the tea party at Mount Stewart to-day was very large, and the tea, we learn, was the best of the season. But the rain came and destroyed the pleasure of the day, and compelled those who assembled to take refuge in the tents and neighboring houses, and there enjoy themselves as best they could.

Tue cricket match between the Foreigners and Natives came of at Victoria Park on Sat. urday. The coldness of the day did net seem in any way to eheck the ardor of the cricket- ers, and, judging by the number of spectators, the match must be a popular one. The Foreign team was the strongest they have yet brought on the ground, and the general opin- ion was that the Natives’ chance of winnin was small, The Foreigners won the toss al went to the wicket, but were soon disposed of by the Islanders. with the meagre score of forty-four runs. The natives then took their place, and played with such effect that when seven {o'clock arrived and the stumps had to be drawn, their score had mounted to ninety with two wickets to spare. The fielding of the foreigners was poor, while that-of the Islanders was extremely good. We hope the vanquished will not lose heart, for we think a little more practice is all that is required to enable them to bring the return match toa very different issue. —Com,

Writing ef the important change in the Government of Egypt, which was recently announced in our cable despatches, the London Times, of June 27th, says: ‘‘ The transfer of pewer is announced as already complete. Prince Tewfik has been for mally recognized by his father as Khedive; his succession has been publicly pro- claimed ; he has held his first official re- ception; geod order and tranquility are reported as prevailing everywhere ; and Prince Tewfik is new in fact and by right the reigning sovereign of Egypt in his father’s place.” Of the abdication of the late Khedive, the Times says that the bad government under which Egypt has of late been suffering, and the oppressions practised on the fellaheen, are a chief part

of the indictment under which Ismail Pasha’

has been condemned. As to the prospeets presented by tke change ef rule, our Lon- den contemporary says that Egypt makes a fresh start under a new man, and presum- ably under a new system, and adds : ‘* We wait with no little anxiety to learn what
