NOVEMBER 2, 1888.

A Life-Saving Invention.

One of the marked features of this age is the number of its “‘railway horrors.” Searcely a week passes in which we do not hear of a “‘smash-up,” caused by collision or some other form of accident ; and in too many instances there is a terrible loss of life and property.

The public all over the world will, we are sure, be pleased to learn that means have been invented which will effectually prevent collisions or accidents, the causes

of which can be known even afew moments

A delightful drive of two hours ifrom Charlottetown, winding through pleasant copses and waysides fragrant of | wild flowers, and past rich fields and com> 'fortable homesteads, with here and there a church and schoolhouse, brings you to the desired spot; and, at once, you are received with a cheery welcome by the proprietress of ** Sea-view House,”” who introduces you to her establishment.

The coast is full of interest, and although the mineralogist or geologist might discover nothing very precious, there is a world of life beneath and around most inviting to the fingers and eyes of those who, with a love of nature, have the habit of poking and prying into her hidden wonders Oh, those glittering sand hills stretching away tothe east!

++Or+e - Editorial Notes.

The report that Sir Charles Tupper.is to be Lord Sackville’s successor at Wash- ington came from Washington, and _pur- ported to be on the authority of a Cabinet Minister, whose name was not given. It mentioned that the place was first offered = Sir John A. Macdonald and devlined by rim.

~ Several persons have called attention to the omission of the little word ‘* not,” in Tae Examiner’s article on Lord Sack- ville’s successor. The last sentence of the first paragraph should have read: ‘‘ Of one thing we may, however, be sure,--he (Sir Charles Tupper) could not easily be beguiled into a blunder such as that which brought confusion upon the head of Lord Sackville.’

~The St. John Telegraph directs atten- tion to the fact that the subway scheme has been substantially endorsed by the British Government, and says: ‘‘ We are spending some millions on the appliances to carry ships over the dry land of the isthmus of Chignecto. It is quite as promising a ven-

ure to spend some more millions ona : ‘

tunnel that will pass railway cars under

the waters of the Straits of Northumber-

basal. The proposed subway, if a practical proposal, as we have no doubt

is, is awork in the interests of all the Mari- time Provinces; a work which the faith of the Dominion is pledged to construct. and a work t Lich the eastern Provinces are fairly en- itled by the burdens they now bear for the expenditure in the west.” The Tele- iph is right.

'us hope their hungry plunge has not been

unrewarded.

Now the breeze is strong. White-capped waves extend as far as the eye can reach, and heavy breakers are thundering with measured thud upon the shore. One could well imagine Tennyson, on a cold and cloudy morning, looking upon a scene like this and writing :

‘* Break, break, break, On thy cold grey stones, O sea!

And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. —

O, well for the fisherman’s boy,

That he shouts witn his sister at play ! O, well for the sailor lad,

That he sings in his boat on the bay !

And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hiil ;

But O for the touch of a vanish’d hand, And the sound of a voice that is still!

Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O sea ;

But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me.

But, after all, the poet, sweetly and sadly as he sings, may uot perhaps be alto- gether true to nature. Many a happy hour have we spent here and hereabouts, walking with bare feet over the sands, gathering up the sea shells, launching our miniature boats upon the water, chasing wounded ducks through the surf, clasping loving hands that have ** vanished,” and listening to the melody of voices that now are still”; but the ‘‘tender grace” of bye-gone days comes back to us in memory with soothing heart-renewing power and the sweetness of a morning psalm. But while we have been moralizing the wind has increased in force, great sea gulls are screaming overhead, heavy clouds have darkened the sky ; and, anticipating foul weather, the fleet of fishing boats have started for the harbor. What exhilara-

tion there is in a strong wind! Here is a boat careening as she_ glides, so that she seems to be listening

to the confidential whispers of the waves. Yonder, as with a sudden burst of gladness another ducks her bowsprit into a wave and flings an avalanche of spray into the mainsail. Here comes along rolling billow and with a remorselessness of power sweeps under the bows, and the boats rise like a bird on the crest of the wave and courtesy into the trough of the sea. Then, with merry mischievousnes, they shake their sides, tumbling the crew into a heap and _ baptiz- ing them with spray, rush eagerly towards the next advancing wave. But the day wears on. The table by this time must be spread, and the bracing air causes our inner man to sound an unmistakable dinner gong. And what ameal was that! The home-made loaf how sweet; and what an elegy might be written upon the animal who lived long enough to develop sucha ‘‘ leg”’ as is set before us. The ctisine is com- plete. A table laden with good things, attentive waiters, and a cloth white as the driven snow. Shall we speak of the nights / Sleep! Never is *‘tired nature’s sweet re- storer” more easily wooed than now. The moan of the wind and the music of the waves become a cradle song ; and the image of the rolling sea is transformed into a mother’s soothing hand. And so the holi- day rolls on, each day bringing its fresh exhilaration and strength. May we have many such, the ‘‘ tender grace” of which though dead, still lives again. : ws oe

The Parnell-“ Times” Commission.

The Parnell Commission resumed its in- vestigations on Wednesday. Captain O'Shea testified that he was on good terms with Parnell until June, 1886. At Par- nell’s request in June, 1881, he communi- cated with Gladstone without the knowledge of Egau or Parnell’s other colleagues. Gladstone's speech in the House, in May, 1881, which disclosed the situation of Par- nell, placed him in an awkward position, and annoyed Egan and others. Negotia- tions then ceased until 1882, The first proposals witness made to the government in 1882 were offered without the authority of Parnell. He received communications from certain members of the government replying to the proposals. | When Parnell was released from Kilmainham jail he took part in the negotiations. Parnell under- took to do his utmost for the suppression of boycotting and outrages, and promised if the government would settle the arrears of rent question satisfactorily he would advise the tenants to pay rents and de- nounce outraged resistance to the law and all kinds of intimidation. Parnell said he was able to carry out his guarantees with success. Witness went on giving details of the plan then adopted. A letter was read written by Parnell in Kilmainham jail to Secretary Foster. Parnell’s opinion was that if the arrears question were settled he and his colleagues would be able to sup- press outrages. He urged the importance of agrarian legislation and concluded by saying: ‘‘Ifthe programme sketched is carried out it will enable us to co-operate cordially in future with the liberal party in forwarding liberal principles.”” On the day after the Phoenix Park murder, Parnell showed the witness letters. He declared with certainty that the signatures were Parnell’s. The witness saw original of the fac-simile of the Jimes letter last week. He believed the writing was Parnell’s. There were letters and documents in exist- ance in Kilmainham jail. The treaty ne gotiations with Gladstone were that the league should be broken up, the laad!ords to reduce rents and receive colmpensallon from the exchequer. Many memoranda were destroyed in 1883, when there was danger of a select committee of parhament being appointed to enquire into the Kil- mainham treaty and it was intimated to him by Vernon Harcourt that the utmost reticence ought to be observed on the sub- ject as Gladstone requested it froim inotives of political expediency.

oe The Storm at Souris.

A traveller writes as follows to the Moncton. Zimes, under date of Monday last : I have travelled all over New Bruns- wick and considerable in Nova Scotia and the United States; thought I had been cut in high winds, but never experienced a genuine hurricane till to-day. Have been in P.-E. Island for a week: cannot com- plain of the weather, with the exception of rainy nights, which gives the laboring man a chance to rest; found the farmers busily engaged in digging their potatoes and haul- ing them to market. At Vernon River Bridge, Murray Harbor, Montague Bridge and Georgetown schooners are seen loading with potatoes, turnips and oats, potatoes ranging from 16 to 20 cents per pushel. Saturday and Saturday night were fine, but last night set in with a heavy rain, and to- day the wind has been blowing a gale with an oceasional shower. It leveled the old station house to the ground as well as the fences. The writer undertook to drive across the beach this afternoon, but the rain and sand blinded me, so I was obliged to return to the Sea View Hotel, where I will remain until there isa calm. The old- est inhabitants say they have not experi, enced the like for many years, yet 1 was talking to a lady clerk in this town, who told me she walked over from Souris West this morning, and expected to return this evening. Had I not been a married man, I should have proposed, but on application can tell any young man of good moral char- acter where she may be found.

Buoyage of Charlottetown Harbor.

Srm,—-Referring to the communication in your issue this evening relative to my | knowledge of the buoyage of Charlottetown | harbor and the grounding of the 5.5. | Halifax, I may say that | commanded the | S. S. Ulunda, making regular trips to this port all one summer, and never having met with an accident of any kind, I think is | snflicient to show that I have some know- ledge of the shoals and buoyage of this harbor. It is wétl known that the cause of this accident is due to the spar buoy (for which I was on the look-out) being much shorter than any of the others, and at the time was more than eight or twelve inches above water, which from a bridge it was impossible to see at any dis- tance ; and further that the danger most to avuided is not marked by any buoy whatever. [ refer to the bend, which makes out between thetwospar buoys, upon which the S. S. Halifax grounded. In short, the whole system of buoys and lights into this harbor is defective and the most imperfect of any port 1 have ever been in.

[ would consider an anonoymous letter beneath my notice were it not that I hope this communication will lead to the desired improvements being brought to the notice of the Marine Department and remedied be- fore the opening of navigation next season, as such cases as the present have occarred before, and are far from doing credit or justice to this port.
