rave been due in partto the heavy but we think that we are justified in claiming that it was also due in great part to the strong feeling of sympathy which is felt for Mr... Hackett against self-interest and cupidity, as the general and local interest of the rid.ng, which prompted electors to support the

overnment candidate. They would not vuie against Mr. Hackett whom they believed to be am illused man; ther did not care to vote against Mr. Perry because he was the nominee of a Government which acts upov tke spoils system; so they did not go to the poll:; bad they gone and voted according to their opinions and sympathies, the result would have been

operating well as

different.

However this may be, the returns as received; show that Mr. Perry’s majority was 89, the totals being: Perry 1617, and Hackett 1528, the vete by polling divisions being as follows :—-

Majority for Perry, 89.

These returns prove that the “Epidemic of Liberalism” has not spread greatly in West Prince and that tvere is hope in the future. It was confidently expected by leading Liberals, that Mr. Perry’s majority would be threeor four hundred. Under the circumstances this expectation was not uoreasonable. But with their party in power and every circumstance in their favor;with Mr. A. B. Warburton, Dominion Law Agent, in the District working might and main against Mr. Hackett; with Mr. W hite, an official of the Marine and Fisher- ies Department, active upon the stump and in the daily canvass in favor of Mr. Perry; with Mr. B. D McLellan, assistant clerk of the Legislative Assembly,on leave of absence from his Legisla- tive duties, industriously disseminating his views concerning the School settlement and the tariff; with the Honorable John Yeo, M. P., absent from his seat in the House of Commons, exercising his popu- lar maoters and that quiet persuasive eloquence for which he is so justly cele- brated, in the interests cf Mr. Laurier and Mr. Davies ; with every Liberal Conserva- tive official in awe and terror of a visit from “ the Commisaioner;” with every

human device of an unscrupulous party of political manipulators resorted to, and the strongest passions of humanity, viz, selfishness and cupi- dity, pointedly appealed to,—the Liberals got their candidate in

by bat the email majority of 89, or, according to our Alberton corres- pondent, 83. The result is cal- culated to inspire the Liberal—Conser- vatives in general and Mr. Hackett, in particular, with hope aud confilence. The lane is long which bas no turning. It is

NEWS FROM JAPAN.

Missionary Prospects in the Orlent—Dr, McKay and Formosa,

An interesting letter has been received from the Rev. W. Eliott, dated Toyama, Japan, March 11, respeeting the Canadian Missionarie~. He writes: ‘Mra. MeArthur’s health has greatly improved; Misa Preston and Miss Crombie are both hetter. At the Central Tabernacle at Tokyo an extra Sabnrath service in English has been started which is well attended by students from the various state colleges. Miss Hargrave aud Miss Lambly, with the assistance of only one copy of th- bible

are conducting women’s meetings at twelve places in Kofa. The

women attend in larg+ numbers. Mr. Correll of the Methodist Episcopal mission, has been looking over the ground in Formosa.

The results ‘of the twenty year’s work of the Rev. Dr. Mackay of the Canadian Presbyteriar Mission in Formosa are thus summarized : Two ordained native preach-

ers, twenty-four female evangelists, sixty buildings used for public worship, a hall of science, a-college, a girls’ school, a mu- seum, a hospital and elementary school.

Aleo such benefice as the use of Roman letters, the physical benefits from Dr. Mackay’s practice of medicine, ard the general correction of many public abuses.

— How about that great reduction of prices resulting from the new tariff? The advertisements and “specials” have al! been withdrawn !

—A correspondent at Wheatley River writes: The electors are anxiously await- ing the comiug of the provincial election, when they intend to pull down the black flag of hypocrisy, theemblem of the Peters administration. The most rabid grits are wishing for a change.

Vhe Art of Dress.

Some seasons ago a popular lecturer on ‘the fine art of dress’’ gave this advice, “Wear street gowns the color of your hair, house gowns the color of your eyes, and evening toilets the tint of your complex- ion.’’ As the majority of women have either black. brown or gray hair the wis- dom and taste of the advice is apparent as far as street dress is concerned. To dress well meaus to dress appropriately for cach occasion, and the season’s fresh goods, which display any number of very rich, beautj‘ul materials, make the selectien of gowns ‘“‘the color of your hair’’ an easy matter.

Stopped the Bluff,

Wildly was thinking of a late expericnce at the club when his wife asked, ‘‘ Did Mr. Lusk call?’

‘‘Not him. I bluffed him with a $10—er —what was that, dear?’’—Detroit Free

The New Yorker of the tier day is inclined to smile when he reads that on the Fourth of July, 1795, the parade of soldiers in that city numbered 900 men. Their ronte was from the Battery up Broadway to the new Presbyterian church, where the Declaration of Inde- perdence was read by Edward Living- ston.

In his place the sword exercise was performed in a very satisfac- tory maaner.
