Fhe annual meeting of the Belivean Albertite and Oi! Co. was held at the com- pany’s office on Tuesday the 8th inst., re- presented by stockholders for St. John, P. EK. Island, Nova Scotia, and various parts ef Westmoreland. The affairs of the com- pany were found to be in a most satisfac- tory condition, and work at the mine going on vigorously with highly encourag- ing prospects. Dy an almost unanimous vote the meeting empowered the Directors to make a further call of 25 per cent. whenever they should deem it ad- visable. The stockholders present were gratified at the sight of a vein of Albertite which hasbeen recently tfncovered and ex- posed to-view for a considerable distance. This vein pursues a course at right angles to that near which the new shaft is being sunk, and ‘preserves the general course of the veim io the Albert Mine. The old Board of Directors was re-elected for the ensuing year. Messrs.’ Wm. Patrick and HK. b. Chandler, jr., tendered the company each fifty shares of their paid-up stock, to be sold for the benefit of the company, for which generous donation they received the hearty thanks of the meeting.— Post. seepeiepagamneshitibiiie— iid
Hints to those who_call upon the Sick.
1. If the sick party is a perfect stranger den’t go further than tle gate--especially if they keep a savage doz,
2. Enter the house by the door. Itis now esteemed a breach of etiquette among cultured people to craw! in at the window.
3.. Carry a cheerful face. If you can’t do this, carry a bottle of preserves.
4. Be cheerful. Tell the sick one that he is looking thinner than a geology lecture audience. But be cheerful. Laugh heart- ily while telling it.

} | Dean Staniey on the Prince |
| London Standard, June 28. |
At the close of his sermon at Westmin-
. \|Ster Abbey yesterday morning, Dean The /feiald (Reform) reports that while | Stan} befor ; i ; eports that wh Stanley, before a crowded congregation,
alluded to the death of the Prince Impe-
. Prete . be ‘riak He said: ‘*'Thus far had I written Concerning the financial troubles of a) when there came the shock of the tragic large grain merchant, Mr. Butler, the |
event which has reminded us how in the services of their country, soldiers and sailors have but one heart and soul, and iow in that one heart and soul all the world shares. Many and strange are the visions which crowd upon the wind as we hear that fighting under the British flag the Prince liwperial has passed away. Neo one who was in Paris on the day of his birth can ever forget the moment when in the early dawn of that Sunday morning they were aroused from sleep by: the sound of the guns which announced that the long- expected child was born, and in the historic palace of the Tuilleries ran thef deepening thrill with which in the continued volleys after a long pause, the cannon apnounc- ed that the child was a_ boy, the male heir of the Napoleon family — when we know that every inhabitant of this vast city was listening at the same hour and the same moment with all the varied feelings of exulting triumph and of anxious expectation, of bitter disappointment, to the long protracted thunder of artillery which told us that another bulwark had been given to the empire, a new prop sup- plied to the rising dynasty, anda fresh complication to the checkered fortunes of France. We heard, as years rolled on, of the love of his parents to this one hope of their lives, a leve in them redeeming many errors,a devotion unchanged amid the vicis- situdes of all the world beside. We heard of the boy at his childhood’s play building castles in the sand at his well-known resort on the shores of the Atlantic. We heard of his faithful English nurse and her good advice to him. We watched him yet later tossed to and fro in the rack and ruin of the Imperial House at Garvelotte ond Se- dan, We heard of him after his arrival in this country suddenly called to his father’s deathbed, and gathering up his beyish en- ergies te offer with a force strangely beyond his years a few words of. agonized prayer as he knelt by the lifeless corpse. We also know of him as he passed a student in our own renowned academy at Woolwich, winning the friendship of his companions and achiev - ing his first honors without fear or favor in that branch of the profession which
‘lad attracted the studies of his father and
his uncle. We heard with mingled auxiety and admiration of his wish to share the toils and dangers of his youthful companions in Seuth Africa, that dark continent which is strangely associated with the exile of St. Helena, and with the destinies of his family. All the hopes and fears of those to whom his existence was a rallying point or a terror. All the aspir- ations of loving parentsand devoted friends all the memories. whi¢h rallied round this Imperial name, at which the world grew pale, have gone in his untimely fall on a fereign strand, as if, indeed, as of old, to point a moral and adorn a tale. This is not the place or the occasion to dwell on this wider range of thought excited by the fortunes now prematurely closed by the deati, of this member of the family of Napoleon Bonaparte. In this solemn mo- ment, as the lifeless remains are returning over the sea, which but a few months ago they were crossing in the height of hope and joy, we had best fix our thoughts on that spirit which has gone to God who gave it, and on her who now sits solitary who was once great among the nations. He, young as he was, has left a stainless name behind him, honored and respected even by his adversaries. To his comrades ; to you English young men; to you Eng- lish boys, as I have been told by many who knew him best, to you, I say, he has left the best legacy possible— the exampie of a faithful and earnest friend, the exampiz of a pure life and clean lips. To the country who had sheltered his fallen family, he gave what he could, his service and his life. He won for himself the sym- pathy, he won for himself something at least of the soldier’s glory which in his case was so dear, without the dark shadow of slaughter and bloodshed. To him it was permitted to die the soldier’s death which was denied alike to his father and his uncle. He has been spared the life- long struggles and temptations ‘which, as his father, once bending over his cradle, hoped, he might be spared. Much people (in the language of Scripture), much people are there to see the ship arrive with his loved remains. Much people, both prince and peasant, both of France and England, look with deep compassion, for he was the only son of his mother, and she is a widow. May the Father of all consvla- tion be with her; may she and we think of that in him which was immortal. May she remember that the things which are seen are temporal, and that the things which are not seen are eternal. May the peace of death be with him, the peace which passeth all understanding, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
A friend, who is a member of the Uppo- sition, met Lord Beaconsfield on one of the pontigaomes days of last week, and, think- ing Of Egypt or Turkey, remarked that
things did not look well in the East. The Prime Minister, however, readily assumed that he spoke of the weather, and quietly replied, ‘* Yes, the wind from that quarter is very trying at this time of year.”
