New Poem by Tennysoun.

ect

‘‘TO PRINCESS ALICE.”

The following beautiful ‘‘dedicatory poem

othe Princess Alice,” by Mr. Tennyson,

opens the new number of the Nineteenth

Century :—-

‘‘Dead Princess, living Power, if that which lived

True life, live on and if the fatal kiss

Born of true life and love, divorce thee not

From earthly love and life—if what we call

The spirit flash not all at once from out

This Shadow into Substance—then perhaps

The mellow’d murmur of the people’s praise

From thine own State, and all our breadth of realin,

Where Loveand Longing dress thy deeds in light,

Ascends to thee; and this March morn that sees

Thy soldier-brother’s bridal orange bloom

Break through the yews and cypress of thy grave

And thine Imperial motlier smile again,

May send one ray to thee ! and who can tell—

Thou—England’s England leving daughter— thou R

Dying so English thou would’st have her flag

Borne on thy coffin—where is he can swear

But that some broken gleam from our poor earth

May touch thee, while rernembering thee, I lay

At thy pale feet this ballad of the deeds

Of England and her banner in the East?”

After this comes a much longer poem on “‘The Defence of Lucknow,” by the Lau- reate.

Large Expectations.

lt is said that the peeple of Manitoba anticipate an accession this year to the pop- ulation of the North West of at least fifty thousand souls. The figures seem large. But some intelligent people, familiar with the movement toward the fertile belt, say that the facts are likely to exceed the figures. However this may be, certainly young men and maidens,old men and child- ren, appear to be swarming out from On- tario and Qusbec toward Manitoba in a re- markable manner. Some of the emigrants are doubtless going farther to fare worse, but upon the whole the movement is of the most hopeful character. Next to the return of generally prosperous times, nothing could well be better fer the better Dominion than the rapid settlement of the Nort! West by the right sort of settlers.

The Talmage Trial.

SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS ON THE PART OF COUNSEL AND WITNESS TO BE CORRECT.

(From the Oil City Derrick.)

The interest in the Talmage trial in. creases faster than interest on a bank note. In fact, it is expected the interest will be compounded at last, or that the trial will. Our New York reporter is busy taking down notes of the testimony, and in his first page presents the fellowing appear- ance :

Mr. Millard (counsel) to Mr. Bright (wit- ness) showing witness a paper—

‘Who wrote that editorial ?

‘What editorial ?

‘That one my finger is on.’

‘Which finger?

‘This finger.’

‘This finger on this oditorial !’

‘Yes.’

‘What about it ?

‘Who wrote it ?

‘The finger ?

‘No; the editorial.’

‘What editorial ?

‘This editorial in this paper, which I hold up before you, which is headed, ‘ Colum- bine and Harlequin,’ on which I now place this thumb.,

‘You want to know who wrote it ?

‘Yes.’ °

‘Why ?

‘It’s of interest to this case.’

‘What case ?

‘Talmage’s case.’

‘What Talmage ?’

‘Do you know who wrote that editorial ? excitedly.

‘What editorial ?

‘The one I just showed you.’

‘The one in that paper ?

‘Yes.’

‘The one-you put your finger on first, and then put your thumb on it ?

‘Yes.’

‘You want iv know who wrote it 7

‘Yes.’

Witness reluctantly replies, ‘1 don't know.’

The short memories of the leaders of the Opposition cause them to make very ridicu- lous exhibitions at times. On Tuesday night for instance, in the debate on the bill tw divide the Department of Public Works, Mr. Holton and Mr. Mackenzie are re- ported to have said that they believed it would be better to heve six or seven re- sponsible Ministers than the present num ber. If these gentlemen are sincere in that statement, and it is Lot anew one with them, why did they not reduce the number of Cabinet Ministers when they were ina position todo so? Why, if seven Ministers are adequate to the discharge of the duties devolving on the Government, did they find it necessary to increase the number from thirteen to fourteen on .accepting office in 1373? Mr. Mackenzie only succeeds in displaying the hypocrisy of his opposition principles when he talks about the advisi- bility of a roduction in the number of

Coal and Iron Statistics.

| Mr. George H. Dobson has published, at | Ottawa, a pamphlet on the coal and iron | industries, and their relation to the ship- | ping and carrying trade ef the Dominion. ‘The second edition of. this pamphlet eon- | tains a variety of new statistics, the general results of which are thus stated by Mr.

;

| Dobson :—

1. That Nova Scotia exports of coal to the United States have fallen from 465,194 in 1865 to 88,495 tons in 1878, while our importations from the United States have risen from 162,200 tons in 1865 to 746,516 tons in 1878. 2. That the duty ‘in’1870 increased the home production, diminished the importa- tion, and did not increase, but reduced the price to the Dominion consumer. 3. That in the tables annexed, Candda is the only coal . producing country..in the world which shows a falling off in the out- ut. : 4. That with a duty varying from 75ei to $1.70 per ton on coal, the United States have increased their production from 21,- 000,000 tons in 1866 to upwards of 50,000,- 000 tons in 1878, causing, with transporta- tion,a circulation of not lessthan $150,000,- 000 of productive capital. 5. That the capacity of the present work- ing collieries of the Dominion. is_ 2,000,000 000 tons annually; not one-third of this is now being raised to the surface, but with a tariff that would secure the home market, output would be obtained, and the coal de- livered to the consumer as cheaply as it could be obtained from abroad,

6. That the analysis shows our bitumi- nous coal for gas, steam, or domestic pur- poses to be quite the equal of any imported from the United States.

7. That the evidence before the Coal Committee (annexed) shows the position of our coal fields to be such as to secure cheap water transportation with the interior of Canada,

8. That under a protective tariff the pro- duction of pig iren in the United States has increased from 1,225,035 tons in 1866, to 2,351,618 in 1878, or 91 per cent., and caused a falling off in the importations of of from 215,000 tons--$7,000,000, in 1876, to 67,700 tons in 1877--$1,000,000.

9. That the importations of railroad iron, including steel rails, has in the United States fallen off from 536,900 tons in .1872 --$22,056,635, to 30 tons, $1,463 in 1877.

Turkey and Greece.

The Paris correspondent of the Times says. The negotiations between Turkey and Greece are now entering on a fresh chase. The new proposals of the former though not acceptable, show that Turkey fecls her inability to evade the obligations of the Treaty of Berlin. They consist of a new line including the valley of Pharsalia, a third more than her first offer, but more than a third less than what the treaty indi- cated. ‘This will evidently be rejected by Greece, and cannot be agreed to by the European Governments. There is good reason to believe that the Porte will be ad- vised to make concessions in ‘Thessaly in lieu of Janina and the other cessions re- fused by it, and the Suitan is perhaps wait- ing for moral pressure from Europe, to pro- tect him from the repreaches of the Old

will be the final compromise—Greece agree- ing because it is fortunate to gain territo from a stronger neighbor. without ‘the'ex- penditure of blood or treasure, and Turkey beeause she will save Janina, and cannot procure money till she has emerged from her present difficulties.

Mr. Plimsoll has already- probably saved the lives of many poor seamen by his ener- getic action in securing the passage of the Merchant Shipping Act in 1876. A return has just been issued in England of vessels ordered to be detained by the Board of Trade, under the Act, by reason of alleged defects in hull, equipments, or machinery, from which it zppears that out of 293 yes. sels detained, only five were reported safe, and only two were considered to have been improperly held. Thirty-seven of the ships were complained of by the crews, and of these thirty-five were found unseaworthy. Seventy-eight vessels were dctained * for over-loading or improper loading, and all were found to be unsafe.

atin

A cable despatch this morning says a large emigration of North Country coal miners will take place to the United States and Canada this year. The National Policy will give them work in Nova Scotia. One- sided free trade would have consigned them all to Pennsylvania.

Why Will You

Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. Itis Dr. Boschee’s famous German prescription, and is pre- pared with the greatest care, and no need be entertained in administering if to the youngest child, as per directions. ‘The sale of this medicine is unprecedented. Since first introduced there has been a con- stant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in any case.
