The Governor General’s' Speech.

In the Patriot of Saturday there is a wild criticism of the Governor General's speech. Our readers will, we venture to say, very quickly that it is mere rant after a careful persul of the—

FULL TEXT OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S SPreci. Henorable Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen of the louse of Commons:

In mecting the Parliament of Canada for the first time, | desire to express the yratitica tion I feel at having been selected by He: Majesty tor the high and important office J now fill, and to assure you of the great satis- faction with which | now seek your aid and co-operation.

In acknowledging with profound gratitude the reception which has been accorded to my- self as Her Majesty s representative, 1 am also commanded by the Queen to convey through you to the people of Canada her thanks for the oyal, generous and kindly manner in which they have welcomed her danghter.

The contribution of

CANADIAN PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURES

to the great national exhibition at Paris, last

ear, attracted much attention, and it is be- lieved will have a beneficial effect on the trade of the Dominion with Europe. I congratulate you on the success which must in no small de- gree be attributable to the kind and unceasing exertions of His Royal Highness the Prince ot Wales as President of the British section. The report of the Canadian Commissioners will be laid before you when received.

I am pleased to inform yeu that the amount awarded for

THE FISHERY CLAIM

under the Wasnington treaty has been paid by the United States, and that Her Majesty's Government has arranged with Canada and Newtoundland for their respective shares of the award. ‘The papers on tie subject shall be submitted to you.

The important and rapidly increasing trade between Canada aud England in live cattle has been seriously threatened by the appear- auce in various points of the U.S. of pleuro- pneumonia. In order to prevent the contagion from spreading to Canada, and the consequent interruption of trade | have caused an order to be issued under *‘The Animal Contagious Diseases’ Act,” of 1869, prohibiting the impor- tation or introduction into the Dominion of American cattle for a short period. It is to be hoped that disease will be ere long extinguish ed in the United States and the necessity for continuing the prolibitionremoved. Your at- tention will be diverted to an amendment to the Act I have just referred to.

My Government has commenced negotia- tions with Her Majesty’s sanction for the DEVELOPMENT OF YITE TRADE OF CANADA WITH

FRANCE AND SPAIN and their respective colonies. I hope to be able to lay before you the result of these neyo- tiations during the present session.

It is the purpose of my Goverument to press for the most vigorous prosecution of the Can- adian Pacific Kailway and to meet the reason- able expectations of British Columbia. In car- rying out this intention due regard must be paid to the financial position of the country.

Communication by rail has been effected be- tween Manitoba and the United States system of railways, by the junction at St. Vincent of the Pembina Branch of our railway and the St. Paul and Pacific Road. ‘Uthat portion of the main line which extends from English River to Keewatin is now being placed under contract, and will be energetically pushed to completion, in order to secure, as rapidly as is possible, the connection between Lake Superior and the great Northwest.

A bill for the amendment and consolidation of the Acts relating to stamps shall be sub- mitted for your consideration, as well as a measure amending the Act relating to weights and measures.

THE DECIMAL CENSUS

must be taken in I351. I think it expedient that a measure for the purpose should be passed du.ing the present session, in order to give ample timple for the preparation of all the pre- liminary arrangements, and to ensure the cen sus being taken as accurately and inexpen- sively as possible. In connection with this subject it may be well to consider the pro- priety of providing some means for the collec- tion and collation of vital crime and general statistics. A bill will be laid before you for the rearrangement of some of the depart- ments of the Government, and also measures relating to the survey and management of the Domimon lands, to the mounted police, aud to the post otiice department, and also for the amendment, in some particulars, of tae laws relating to inuians.

A measure will also be submitted to you for the vesting in Her Majesty, tor the use of the Dominion, of certain

ORDNANCE AND ADMIRALTY LANDS

in the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons :— The estimates for the ensuing year will be

as is compatible with the efliciency of the jab lic service. I regret that the receipts into the treasury from ordinary sources continue to be inadequate to meet the charges against the consulidated revenue. You will, | doubt not,

e with me in the opinion that it is not de- sirable that our finances should longer remain in this condition. By the application of the strictest economy to the public expenditure, and by the readjustment of the tariff, with a view of increasing the revenue, and at the

same time of developing and encouraying the |

various industries of Canada, you will, I trust. be enabled to restore the equilibriem between revenue and expenditure, to aid in removing the commercial aud tinancial depression which unhappily continues to exist. I have decided

Hon Gentlemen of the Senate :

Gentlemen of the ITouse of Commons: Parliament has recognized the importance of

providing for the safe deposit of the surplus |

earnings of the people by arranging for their being placed with the Government at a fair rate of interest. It may be well for you to consider how far it is practicable to give a like security and encouragement to persons who

Small-Pox at Alberton.

THE Alberton Pioneer of Friday admin- istered a severe castigation to the DaILy EXAMINER and the Summerside Jowraal for publishing ‘‘ sensational reports” regarding the small-pox at Alberton. On our part, we have only to say that all the reports we published were strictly those of inhabitants of Alberton just as respectable as the editor If they were incorrect in

of the Pioneer. auy particular we regret it ; but having our information from the most reliable svurces, we felt it our duty—in the interests of the Province at large—to give it currency and to call the Local authorities to the rescue. That Alberton is injured by the presence of small-pox, no one regrets more than the editor of the ExamMIner ; but it was neces- sary that the people of the Province should

be made aware of the danger which threat- ened them.

Mr. Brecken.

THe Hon. Mr. Brecken has, by this time, completed the task of ‘‘ moving the Address.” We have not, however, heard how he perfornied it.

The Ottawa correspondent of the St. Jolin Sun, referring to Mr. Brecken, says that he is ‘fone of the handsomest men and most polished speakers in the Commons.” The St. John News has a highly compli- mentary reference to Mr. Brecken. It says he ‘is a highly respectable man, an efficient speaker and possessed of considerable force of character. He has long been somewhat prominent in Prince Edward Island politics. It is quite a compliment to him to have been selected to move the Address in the House of Commons in response io the Speech from the Throne. He will probally prove a valuable working member of the House.”

was: ‘* there was.a row in the house, and I had to drive a drunken man home.” LHe sho.ed me where there had been a pool of blood on the floor. 1 don’t recollect of him showing me blood on the counter.

Harry was in the bar and Annie was stand- ing behind the bar. Harry had an orna- mental shell and Annie Parker offered to buy it for a certain sum of money. During the discussion it got pretty hot, and Harry chased Annie into the kitchen. Aunie made the remark that she knew enough to send him to Dorchester. Harry, in reply,

said he knew enough to snd her to hel if I asked Harr what man it was Harry pointed out che spot where the bleod was.

white marble. ‘The main staircase 18 very handsome, the steps being of white marble and the rail and balustrades of black wal- nut. At the head of the staircase the first eorrider is entered. Its immense length, about two hundred and fifty feet, gives about the best idea of the extent of the building which one can obtain. To the right of this corrider and in the front of the building the parlor 1s located. {t is a beautiful room and _ furnished in the most magnificent style. The furni- ture consists of various kindsof wood, carved and gilded in the most tasteful manner Broad mirrors with heavy gilt frames adorn 'the walks on whichever side you may choose to turn. Exquisite groups of statuary greet the eye on every hand. The mantlepieces are the richest and heaviest to be found in the Dominion. Sofé, velvet, crimson-colored carpets, with curtains of the same color, give to the room a rich, brilliant, but not gaudy effect. The dining room is upon the same level as the main corridor, and goes offataright angle with it. This room is the finest in the hotel. Columns and pilasters of black walnut and butter- nut wooed, at short distances a,ar., give to the room a massive appearance. Alemni, the celebrated Italian artist, has beantified the ceiling with fresceings of every variety and tint. The pictures are masterpieces, it is said, and are correct paintings of historical places in Europe. Other rooms in the hotel are fitted up and are distinguished by the style of architecture employed, such as the Pompeir Room, the Egyptian Room. This hotel is the favorite with travellers, because of the attention paid by the managers and employees to those who stop there. Yesterday being Sunday, we all sought some place of worship.

He said with these pseudo leaders, he had no pa- tience, when a revival of religion is taking place, and they are overlooked, they cry ** Hold on there, this thing can’t succeed unless we have a hand in it.” Such men would rather lead on the side of the wicked and in the way to damnation and destruc- tion, than hold a secondary place to those who are qualified to lead. The singing in St. James’ Church is good. The choir is composed of a large number of male and female singers, who seem to have the taste to sing in proper time.

At —ttawa. leHE ISLAND REPRESENTATIVES AND THE MINISTER OF MARINE.

Orrawa, Feb. 12, 1878.

Our drive from Huil to this city gave ample chance to see a large portion of that town. The capital is quite lively at preset t. The preparations for the vpening of Parlia- meut create quite a stir, N umbers are here from all partsof the Dominion. Some are con- tractors anxiously waiting to know to whow the contracts for building the Pacific Road will be awarded. Others have come to wit- ness the opening of Parliament. Quite a number of distinguished politicians of Pro- vincial Parliaments are here to witness the grand event which to-morrow will bring forth. prominent Reformers. They, no doubt, feel pretty sick at this juncture, as to go from power to the cool shades of Opposition is anything but a pleasant change to ex- perience. Frequently the remark is made, ‘What a number of new men are here !? The Island representatives are all well. Mr. Brecken will perform his task on Monday next; and we all feel that if he has any opportunity to give the attention to the speech that is necessary, Queen’s County will not be ashamed of her representative. His repu- tation as a speaker has travelled before him, which, perhaps, will lead many to ex- pect more than if he were unknown.

THE MINISTER OF MARINE AND FISHERIES is busily engaged, from morning till night between the duties of his office and meet- ings of Council. He has not forgotten his constituents; and the number of petitions for public works and improvements which has been received by him, will, I am assur- ed, receive his careful attention. To-day some of our party wor: taken te the Public Library and

We have been in Churches where the tenor voices are strained so as to be heard above others, and where the base voices resemble the sound of a cross-cut saw grating harshly on the ear, and trying*to drown the other voices if that is possible. We have also heard attempts to sing .difficult anthems | without any preper appreciation of the music, ard without any pre | vious knowledge of the correct rendering of | of dificult music.

Constitutional Satarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esqg., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- duced to me. I have-waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy efiects seemed to me to be “‘too good he rue.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have nét used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send 4 be een unsolicited, with leave to
