‘of last evening announces

— Mr. Lawson will continue a member of the Press, and be attached to the statt of one of the ¢ Ipposit on dailies of Quebee or Ontario. No ing the Province it is pleasing to reflect

een the ablest champion of the Gricfwould sell at, close to $1,000. ; ; séemed véry much excited the morning of

in this Island, we suspeet that so tar as he is persoually coneefned,~ ke served the faction not wisely but too ‘well, In the larger sphere, to which he will mov e, his merits will, we trust, receive better recognition, while, perhaps, his demerits will not loom up so large as they do here.

-——Some gratification may well be ex- pressed by members of our Provincial Press in having for one of their number a member of the Qlueen’s Privy Couneil for Canada, who was lately a member of the Domivion Cabinet and Lieutenant- Governor of the Great North West. It is to be hoped that the pre stige at d dig- nity of the profession wiil be well maiv- tained by the Hon. David Laird, In being at once a politician aud an editor, Mr. Laird labors under a disability ; for we shall be obliged at times to name the Hou. gentleman. But perhaps he in- tends to go out of politics, and not again | to make his paper merely a_ stepping} stone for personal advancement—a tool | to use in the promotion of selfish ends.

Incendiarism.

Tne examination of James Landrigan, charged with incendiarism, was continued at the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon. After hearing the following evidence the case was adjourned until to

F. W. Hywnpman, Agent for the Fire {nsurance Association, London, testified that there were two risks on the burnt

building—ope $400 taken out by Col. Grey, the mortgageer, and the other $600 by Landrigan, owner of the building. The Policies were taken out in August. On

two occasions Landrigan met Mr. Hyndman | on the strégtand spoke about the Policies. |

‘* The last time, about two weeks ago, he stopped me on the street and asked if his Policies were all right. I said I thought they were. If he would call at the office | would let him know, he did not call. The second time he met me he told me he called and I was out. Then he said something about Mr. Weeks looking after them. I did not quite understand him. The second time he spoke to me he said Mr. Weeks would look after the Insurance. The premises were valued in the affidavit for $1,500. I should say $1,000 is the ontside value of it now.

Gazette propounds

“The Globe of Tuesday, in an article in which it is attempted to be proved that mat- ters in the Northwest would have been better to-day if Mr. Mackenzie hid remained , in office and coatinued the policy he was pursuing, thus describes the present posi- tion: —'What is the present condition of | affairs? We have chartered a Company to| build the road. We have given the Com- pany $32,000,000 in works already execut- ed, $3,000,000 worth of surveys, $25,000,- | 090 in money and 25,000,000 acres of land!

-which nobody will now deny is worth $4) an acre.’ That is an article intended to| show that the Government have given alto- | gether too much. In the Globe of the fol-| lowing day, Wednesday, we find the| following :—‘ As an item of interest to land | speculators, we may mention an vo peg Railway Company is offering its land grant, located in the most fertile of the States, for | from $4 to $8 an acre. This State has been settled for forty years, and the grant | has been in the possession of the company

for nearly thirty years. Those who are looking for tremendous profits for | years to come from Northwestern land

grants should take notice.’ ‘That is intend- | ed to embarass the company in the sale of | their lands. Butthe problem which the | Globe is called upon to solve is this: If | railway lands in a State of the Union| which has been settled for over forty years, lands which have been for thirty years in| the possession of the company, are worth | now only from four dollars to eight dollars | per acre, how can railway lands in the} Northwest, comparatively unsettled as the | country is, be now worth an average of four |

dollars an acre ?”’

| |

'

—-In an article on the situation in the} Northwest, the Toronto Matl says :— ‘At the present time the people of Mani- | toba, who are in the main an intelligent | people, are asked to break faith with the | Government that that made their province | populous and wealthy at great cost and | risk. They are asked to violate Saab | passed by the Parliament of the Dominion, and the Legislature of their own province. | They are asked to vote for a policy that will | tend to render the Pacific railway useless co the older Provinces of the Dominion. They are asked to reverse the policy on which | their country has thriven, and to place the power of ruling them in the hands of men whose sole hope of getting and keeping power resis in keeping open public sores, and encouraging and manufacturing public grievances. Their intelligence has never been cfifered so full a test. We have every confidence that they will refuse to be cajoled, and decline to break the ehain of | tradiiions which binds their progressive | prosperity to the policy and the Govern-| ment of Sir John Macdonald. |

—The Steamship ‘Liddlesdale,”’ | which ran down the schooner which | rescue’ some of the crew of the ill-fated | “Cedar Grove.” has herself come to griet and now lies stranded on the coast! of Newfoundlaud. }

—The death is aunoucced from the | western coast of Africa of King Omora. He leaves 700 widows. Of his ninety-| five cbildren seventy-seven are still alive. | fis oldest son has 400 wives.

The Cedar Grove.

(Special to the St. John Daily Telegraph.) Canso, N. S., Dec. 3.

Your correspondent accompanied divers to the wreck, yesterday. They went down, but did not succeed in entering the ship's saloon.

It is reported that the hatches were open- ed and that a large lot of stuff has drifted away

in company with three men, I searched the small islands and shore from Walker's Head, and the Cape around to little Canso, adistance of six bodies could be found,

Wreckers have been unable to work to- day on account of the roughness of the weather, but they expect to get thoroughly under way to-morrow, weather permitting.

The inhabitants state that a strong south- east gale would break the ship up in a few

hours, and judging from the large number | of small boats hovering about the shores, it |

is clear they are watching anxiously. A number of old seafaring inhabitants say there is but little chance of ever finding the bodies, as the under-tow off shore is very strong.

It is said here that most of the crew are | going to Halifax, and others to St. John.

This is unfortunate, as there will doubtless 1ave to be an inquiry into the cause of the disaster, and some one should at once see that they are kept together, but no one seems to have any authority to act.

Mr. McAvity, of St. John, with Mr. Reed, chief engineer, and the acting second officer of the ship, Mr. Pearson, leave here to-morrow, (Monday) and expect to reach St. John on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

There is a strong expression of feeling against the ship’s officers and crew, owing to the fact of their allcwing a helpless woman, and she the only lady passenger, to perish. This feeling is justly expressed and ought to call forth a most rigid inquiry from the Government and the Board of Trade. There is no end to the talk and reports from men about the shores, which, of course, cannot be accepted as reliable. The facts, however, of the case onght to be easily obtained, considering that the first and second officers and some twenty others of the crew are saved ; but unless they are kept together aud the inquiry made at once, it will be impossible to get the facts.

An early adjournment of the British Parliament is probable.

Rev. Mr. Rainsford, of Toronto, has ac- cepted a call to New York.

Within the last week 1,000 tons of Eng- lish goods have been despatched over the I. C. R. from Halifax.

It is quite a feat to write the Lord's Prayer in the area of a sixpence, but a Chinese poet has surpassed it. He has written a stanza with thirty-three distinct and well formed Chinese characters on a grain of rice. It is enclosed in a silver locket for a present to thé sons of the Prince of Wales.

It is stated that the proposal to build a cathedral at Westminster, adjoining Car- dinal Manning’s residence in Vauxhall | Road, ata cost of £100,000, temporarily abandoned five years ago, has been re- vived. The plans of the cathedral, which is to be in the early Gothic style,are already prepared.

| In consequence of the disturbances at | Madagascar the Admiralty have directed | the gun vessel *‘ Seagull” to call at Mada- gascar and protect British interests; also to

assist in obtaining information in respect to the proceedings of the French representa-

tive. The commander of the East Indian station has been directed to render further assistance if necessary.

The T’emps reports that two warlike iribes in Madagascar have resolved no longer to bear the intolerable yoke of the ruling tribe. Temps regards the agitation in England re- | garding Madagascar as wholly superficial.

| The rupture provoked by the proceedings of | the Queen of Madagascar will not it is said

| a8ect the excellent relations which France desires to maintain with England.

In reference to a report that two Ameri- cans were lately murdered on the west coast of Madagascar, it is learned that one was killed and one seriously wounded. The name of the former is Emerson, and the latter Hullett. A native attendant and European interpreter were also killed. An expedition had been ordered to punish the tribes who commited the murder, but was prevented from sailing by the French Con- sul at Tananacivo. The American Con- sular Agent at Mosondara states that al- though he warned Emerson and Hullett against the part of the country they intend- ed to visit, he had no reason to fear per- sonal danger to them.

Itappears that the attempt on the life of Milan, King of Servia, was not only an act of private vengeance, but alco the result of a political plot. It will be remembered that when it was announced, the cause of the assault was found in the not unnatural dis- like of a woman whese husband had been slain by the King’s influence or authority. {t is pow said that the conspirators, who | belong to the Pan-Slavist faction and who regard King Milan as a traitor to his race an account of his friendship for the Aus- | trian Court, merely availed themselves of | the antipathy which the widow Markovitch

might be expected to feel against one whom | she regards as her husband’s murderer, to further their own purposes. They were fortunate in finding an assassin who was ready to do the deed without a thought of reward.

Gop Divricutty.—The St. John Sun says: ‘It was published some days ago that, in connection with the disputed ownership of the Salmon Liver gold mine, several sheriff 's officers who went for ‘the Lockhart party ’ toserve an injunction on ‘the Mett party’ who are im possession, were waylaid by forty or fifty men, who thrashed them, robbed

them, and threw them in the river. The his- tory of the mine is a singular one. The prop-

erty lies near the coast, a considerable dis- tance east of Halifax. It is worked by a number of persons, claiming, of course, to be owners, who cleared last year $200,000 or more. No capital was needed, as the mine was rich enough from the first to pay its way. The parties holding it were, we understand, chiefly stage drivers and other workingmen— all poor men two or three years ago, but likely to become fabulously rich.
