Practical Philanthropy.

To do good to the utmost limits of our capa- bility is the first duty as it is the highest privilege} of the Christian, and in no way can more real benefit be conferred upon man- kind than in making known far and wide a sure and certain means of escape from that deadly malady consumption. Where is the family that dues not reckon among those of its circle who have gone before one victim to this direful disease ? It chooses the fairest the brightest, the best, and when a fond parent sees pale consumption stealing into his loved daughier’s bosom, flushing her cheek; bleach- ing the skin, and reveling like a living worm upon het who would not hail as a deliverer seat from heaven one bearing in his hand a remedy, which would save his darl- yawning grave. The mother anxiously watching the boy of her love who at the threshold of manhood is seized by the destroyer and dragged with ruthless and un- flinching hand down to the tomb, would bless with alla mother’s heart the power which Such a power exists, and a himself a brand plucked from the consumption fire, holds out the hand of help, and without asking for remuneration, is ready to communicate the means by which he was cured. All he wants to know isto be told who suffers. You can send a letter to T. A. Slocum, 164 West Adelaide street, Toronto and by return you will receive free, two bot- tles of remedy, which is a positive cure.—E/l- mira Telegram.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The 8S. S. Stanley.

Srr,—1 believe the majority of our peo- ple are under the impression that our winter steamer Stanley has had only thin ice to ‘contend with so far; and 1 must say this ‘impression is quite reesonable—if we may | judge by the ice in our rivers and bays this winter. But it is evident to anyone who has crossed lately that the ice found be- tween Georgetown and Pictou, and especial- ly that heavy body lying south of and be- tween Pictou Island and the mainland—- came from somewhere farther north. Much of it is quite too feet thick and solid, and in many places, where lapped, it is from three to six feet deep.

The good old Northern Light, in her best days, did wonders, especially in ioose ice, whether thick or thin; but she had not suflicient power and weight to crush down and go through solid ice like the Stanley. Of course the model of the latter is also greatly in her favor; and altogether she seems well adapted for carrying mails, pas- sengers and freight in winter—yes, and in summer, too. It is worth while for anyone who can spare the time to make a trip to Pictou and back, that they may see her marvellous performance; for without seeing, no one can believe any boat capable of keeping up such speed while crushing through and over heavy ice, and that with scarcely atremor. As a humble taxpayer, i am very glad to know that such a valuable boat is in charge of those who are competent and trustworthy, and are *‘ proud of their ship.” It is easy for an observer to notice Captain Finlayson’s strict attention to duty, and Pilot Finlayson’s eyes open and careful of the ship in port as well as out; Chief Engineer MeMillan careful and trustworthy every time. The Mate | am not acquainted with, but he looks like a solid man, able and willing in storm orcalm. Purser Ryan keeps a sharp eye after the ** shekels,” and pity help the fellow who would attempt to **dead head ” his passage. Chief Steward Smith knows his business and attends to it. As far as 1 could observe, the whole crew were ‘right side up,” and prompt to obey orders.

Trusting you may soon have the pleasure of a trip over aud back in the good ship Stanley, ¥,

Information Wanted.

Sin,—There appeared aletter in THE Darty Examiner of the 18th, over the sig- nature of M. Stevenson. I[t appears from the breath of this letter that he was greatly alarmed at hearing the Baptist Church, in this city called the ‘*First Baptist Church,” and, for fear that some other Church should be called the ** Second Baptist Church,” he comes and says ‘‘ | know of no Second Baptist Church in this city.” This* being the case, he need not be alarmed. Then he tells of a Chureh on Upper Great George Stieet, that he was afraid they might call the ‘Second Baptist Church,” and, for fear they should, he tells us what they do when they meet on every Lord’s Day : in fellowship and in breaking of bread and prayer—but not one word about 4 Baptism. Was he afraid that he would bring himself under the range of the Sec- ond Baptist, or is he ashamed of the prin- ciples of its Founder? I wish to ask Mr. Stevenson what is it that makes a Baptist Church ? He will please tell us. There is something peculiar, because there are so many different kinds: for instance, the Calvinistic Baptists, the Free Will Bap- tists, the Campbellite Baptists and the Nova Scotia Baptists, and many others. [ always thought those churches that bap- tised by immersion were called Baptist. Walker says Baptist is he who administers Baptism. I remain, yours, &c., ENQUIRER.

Latest News Notes. Brandon did not record a business faslure in 1588. The volume of all kinds of money in cir- culation in the United States is $1,408,000, - 000. The State of Maine bill giving a bounty of ten cents for every cow killed has been approved of by the State senate. Archbishop Walsh in an address to the pupils of the Catholic schools in Dublin, said the government vught to treat Irish Catholics in a more liberal manner and place their colleges on an equality with other colleges. It appeared that legislation on the subject could not be expected unless the demand therefor was backed up by open and violent resistance to law.

Herbert Gladstone has written a defending the evictions on his father’s estate at Hawarden. He says the evictions were perfectly compatible with all reason- able upholding of the cause of Irish ten- ants. Attempts made to compare English with Irish tenants, he de- clares, are futile, because the Irish have ac- quired a right in their holdings which do not exist in England.

The London Standard’s Berlin corres- pondent says he understands that the Ger- man government is disposed to suspend hostilities in Samoa during the Samoan conference, but only on condition that the estates belonging to German subjects be evacuated by the Samoans and that the boundary lines of belligerents’ possessions be marked and respected. This cannot be done officially, however, because Germany regards Mataafa asa rebel leader, not as a king. The Frankfort Gazette suggests that all the three governments interested should recall their present Samoanagents on the ground that they have interfered over much in the quarrels of the natives.

About 400 Napanee people had a mar- vellous escape from disaster and death a few evenings ago. They attended an en- tertainment by the Smith Bell Ringers in the Opera House, and dispersed about 10.30 o'clock. Half an hour later the caretaker locked up, and was just descending the stairs when the tons and tons of snow on the building caused the walls to bulge out- wards and the roof fell in with aloud crash. The building was completely wrecked. Had
