|LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Thinks He has Him !

Dear Srr,—Your talented contributor **Cleydon” has recently favored us with some original and lively articles about our dirt, architecture, dialects and mental in- sularity, to follow it up to the bitter end, as the subjects treated on do not, by any means, exhaust the theme.

The great anxiety of the readers of Examiner has been the identity of ‘‘Cley- don.” Many quiet citizens have been blamed, who have neither the ambition nor ability to go into print. Most of the critics, however, have by this time given up the

others, not to mention ci-devant and other schoolmarms and masters.

Let ‘‘Cleydon,” in ons of the future numbers, devote an article in reference to our clerical status, and perhaps your read- ers might then be able to place the author.

Towny.

May 30th, 1884.

Who is Steeple Cleydon ?

Once in a garden bright and fair, There chanced a weed of foreign soil, Its ugly roots meandered there, With dire intent the place to spoil. It sought the slums and there it grew, Held high its shameless, flaunting head, Though in a very Eden new, The nasty creature throve and spread. As all vile weeds it grew apace, Grew rank with odor, strong and vile, Such ne'er were known to grow ia grace, But strive the natives to beguile. O! record bright; this Eden fair, Held virtue that by grace cauld stand, Each lovely bud and bicssom there, Instinctive shun its proffered hand. Then with low spite, detractions tongue, Most glib and voluble it twirls, Writes to the papers: ‘‘Eden’s wrongs,” But spiteful most about the girls. There is a saying, old and true, None knows how bad the corn is hurt, Save he who wears the pinching shoe; The moral of my rhyme is curt. Vile weeds must keep in proper bounds, Not rant and rave like Steeple Cleydon, Because our Isle the world astounds, The Pearl] of Isles, a very Eden.

INDIGENOUS, a eR ae

‘* But men of long enduring hopes, And careless what the hours may bring, Can laugh at little would-be Popes And Brummels when they try to sting.”

Siz,— ‘Steeple Cleydon” in your issue of the 28th inst., again denounces ‘‘The Island and its Ways,” and discourses most learn- edly on the fact, that ‘‘of all peoples those who dwell on Islands are most fiercely proud and independent.” This in the eyes of ‘Steeple Cleydon”’ is a very bad state of affairs; but people who take a less super- ficial view of matters, would not fail to perceive that the possession of ‘‘fierce pride and independence,” instead of being ac- counted a fault, ought to be considered a virtue in ‘‘all peoples who dwell on Islands.”

It was the exercise of this ‘‘fierce pride and independence,” so distasteful to ‘Steeple Cleydon,” which caused English- men of every class to unite as one man in wresting the great charter from King John, which at a later period caused Englishmen, both Catholic and Protestant, to combine for the defence of their glerious Island against the threatened armada, and which has contributed to make that same Island the cynosure and more than the peer of any country upon earth. The people of “‘this little colony,” therefore, have a good example to follow in exhibiting ‘‘fierce pride and independence.”

In spite of all ‘‘Steeple Cleydon” can say, they know that they are sprung from the great Anglo-Saxon and Celtic races; ‘‘that in all things they are of earth’s best blood,” ‘have titles manifold,” and they will do their utmost to emulate the noble example set them by their forefathers. ‘Steeple Cleydon,” in taunting our people with poverty, simply says what is untrue They possess more wealth per capita than the people of any other Province of the Dominion. In tatking about our intellec tual ability he tells another “whopper.” The fact is our wealth of intellect is our crowning glory. Men born amidst all the disadvantages which ‘‘Steeple Cleydon” so fluently and falsely portrays, sail Ishand- built vessels on every sea, hold professor- ships in various universities, are every- where successful in carrying off prizes, command the ships of the Queen, and have governed Provinces of her Dominicn.

Certain indices to be found in the letters of ‘‘Steeple Cleydon” enable us to arrive at a conclusion regarding his nation- ality—he is either English by birth or

descent. Our Island has been visit- ed at different times by English- men, and Englishmen. The former

have settled down amongst us, and have become more Islanders than the Islanders themselves; of the latter, some left our shores whose departure was generally re- gretted, but the loss of others was not so universally lamented.

In conclusion, different Governor-Gen- erals, and other distinguished men, who have, from time to time, visited us, have borne willing testimony to the beauty of our country, and the loveliness of our fair daughters; but they must all, according to our critic, have been lying most egregi- ously.

It is not surprising. considering all things, that we should inveigh against our treat- ment by our critic, in ‘‘that queer but strong vernacular which we know so well how to command,” and which we have con- tracted frum “hearing talk” persons like “‘Steeple Cleydon,” or venture to predict

Capable of turning out about 10,000 that, sooner or later, he will be ‘“‘let down

| with a jerk.”

Yours truly,

Western Notes.

(From the Summerside Journal.)

A four-legged chicken is the latest curi- osity in this town. Big eggsare at a dis- count now.

|

It is said that the Railway is receiving $3,200 for carrying the Lucy Pope’s cargo of oats from A‘berton to Charlottetown.

It is rumored that a sea serpent was recently seen off Charlottetown Harbor. We have written Capt. Henry Mutch to | know if the report is true.

We observe by an exchange that Lady Macdonald, accompanied by Miss Georgiana Pope of Summerside, left Ottawa, on Tues-

day, for Sir John’s summer residence at

River du Loup.

Summerside is still rapidly getting too jsmall. Such a thing as a vacant store is not to be had for love or money, and the same remark holds good in regard to dwell- ,ing houses. It ie with great difficulty that /a residence can be obtammed at present; even our Water-Street contemporary, who never sees anything but blue ruin alead, is forced to admit this.

The Railway Wharf requires some atten- tion. Un Tuesday evening a loaded cart broke through one of the planks, and in several places we noticed that ‘‘Ladner’s Patent” had been applied. For the infor- mation of those of our readers who do not reside in Charlottetown we may explain that “Ladner’s patent” consists in patching @ hole in a plank with the cover of a Digby- herring box.

The Pictou News speaks of a number of passengers for this Island having through tickets via Point du Chene, feeling generally aonoyed at being compelled to come round by Pictou. There must be some mistake about these passengers being for the Island, as we were under the impression from read- ing some of onr comtemporaries, that the tide of travel was all the other way.

A Forest City, Arkansas, paper thus speaks of a PE. Islander:—‘‘Among the attaches of the Helena branch of St. L. I. M.&S.R., none deserves special credit more than the present roadmaster, L. Coady. Asa railroad man he has few superiors, having gained his knowledge by a slow and tedious promotion, up to the present time. He is a man of sterling worth and integrity. It is needless to add that under his admin- istration his part of the road is in good con- dition, and that he is eminently ‘the right man in the right place.’ ”

In November, 1877, Mr. Archibald Mc- Millan, of this town, posted a letter con- taining some valuable documents addressed to Capt. Ronald McMillan, of the bark John F. Robertson, at Angiers, Java. From the postmark it appers ‘hat the letter reached its destination sometime in the following February, but before it arrived the John F. Robertson had sailed. week it was returned to Mr. McMilian through the Dead Letter Office, the envel- ope shewing signs of wear and tear, and bearinga number of different postmarks which it had received during its wanderings in search of its ownes; the contents, how- ever, were intact.

M. A. Cameron, of this city, whose father had charge of the machine shops in Moncton up to 1882, was yesterday the re- cipient of intelligence from hi brother, James Wallace Cameron, who has been abroad and unheard from for fifteen years. The latter is in command of the ship Un- dine, bound from Hong Kong to this port. —St. John Sun 27th,

We presume that the gentleman men- tioned above is none other than our Mr. M. A. Cameron, lately Insuranee agent in Charlottetown. If our surmise be correct, we should not fora mvument question the authenticity of the intelligenve.

The dwelling house of Mr. Robt, Horne, Howlan Road, Lot 5, was struck by light- ning on Saturday evening last, and con- siderably damaged. The roof was rent from cap to eaves; two rafters were broken in splinters: a hole one rs square was opened around the flue; the shingles were raised for a space about two feet in width, and the whole height of the wall on each side of the front door, and the rough boarding badly broken. The interior of the building was also much damaged, and the lathing and plastering were started in several rooms. Mr. Horne and his family of seven or eight persons, who were in the house at the time, escaped almost miracu- lously unhurt. Mrs. Horne was thrown from her seat by the shock, but was not injured.
