A year and a half have rolled away ; and | the Darty Examryer still lives.

Indeed it may now be truly said that the Darty Examiner is one of the ‘ institn- tions” of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Darty Examrner in the city, along the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people couid live without their daily paper.

Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Datry EXAMINER, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.

Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Daty EXAMINER, a daily telegra:n containing news of all the notable events: which shall tran- spire throughout the world in_ this great crisis of its history. .

Through the Dairy Examrner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—-and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—-be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.

We shall, if possibie, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Darry Examt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.

The local news shall be given through the DatLy Examiner promptly, truly and as full as possible.

For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Darmy Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.

The original subscribers ef the Datty EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.

The beginning of another term is u good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Dairy Examiner would do well to subscribe now.

In connection with the Datry Exawiner the Wenxty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

The Steamship. WRITTEN IN THE YEAR 1870

Now roars the struggling giant, now he varies |

to a scream !

Now soars in quiet grandeur all the majesty

of Steam!

Now plunging ia his fury, like a wild and |

startled horse:

Now, like Leviathan afloat, he dashes on his |

course ! Ul.

Thou mighty Power from on high, bestowed on feeble man,

‘Thou stretchest forth thy cloudy hand, our earthly globe to span. ;

Thou hving, breathing Energy, thy future none can tell;

Thou Demon chained by mortal arm, thou sery’st thy master well] !

IL, Borne on thy wing, we crosg the sea, to many a distant realm, — Borne on thy wing, indeed, but steered and guided by the helm ; The helm, altho’ it seem but small, can curd thy forces vast, And bring thee safe, through many a storm, to reach thy port at last ! Iv. O that my course may be like thine ! Through ages as they roll, Te domy Master's work,the work most worthy of a soul! F Secure that Power Omnipotent can guide the helm alone, Nor foul rebellion dare to brave the terrors of The Throne.

v. Each rising wave subsides beneath the steam- er’s lotty crest, Behind her seethes 2 path of foam, as by a roller prest; ; So sinks the surge of Jehovah's will, Nor dare its waves to disobey the mandate— ** Peace ! be Still !” Vick DitomNivL NAN Orn.

To the Editor of the Examiner :-—

Srr,—TI notice in your paper of Wednesday last, a letter respecting our market. ‘The re- marks or statements of the writer, although, on the whole, interesting, are not quite cor- rect as regards our painstaking and now ven- erable Market Clerk. If my memory serves me, he bas been in office somewhere about 40 ears. For atime he was assistant or substi- tute of the then venerable clerk, Mr. Lallow, and succeeded him at his death; and also, if my memory serves me, the salary at that time was £40 per annum. Some yoars after it was reduced by the then cheese-pairing Govern- ment to £20, and au office made for a keeper of a market—expressly for flour and meal— opened in the old coach house on the site now oceupied by the the Union Bank, to whom the other £20 was paid. Afterwards the Flour Market was removed to the Old Court House, and the time-honored portion of that ancient edifice—previously used for the Council Cham- ber—was set apart for it, minus the throne from which successive Lieut. Governors thun- dered their speeches to the Lords and Commons on the opening of Parliament, Sometime after this, Mr. Lewis’ salary was raised to £25, and remained so, I think, until the new Market Heuse was opened, when it was raised to £109, old currency, which in- cluded all his services in vonnection with the flour market as well, Mr, Editor, you will

erceive that Mr. Lewis is a much older pub-

ic servant than your correspondent gave him credit for being, and did not draw that huge salary of a hundred a year but for a small part of that time. 1 think, Mr. Rditor, it would be worth your while to set one of your ‘devils’ to hunt up the old fyles of the papers of those days, and give your readers some idea of what the market display was in those early days, going back as faras the opening of the old round Market—not forgetting the time when the Governor of the day went into the Market House and purchased up ail, or nearly all, that was there, and sent it down to his quar- ters in the Barracks. Yours, AN OLD Svacer. Ch’town, Dee. 21, 1878. —— — -- -_ +o —— a To the Editor of the Daily Examinev.

Str,—-1 protest against Doctors giving up hopes of the recovery of invalids, who are pros- trated by fevers, bronchitis, etc., when per- haps they have taken from forty to fifty dol- lars fees from them for medicine, without giv- ing them any relief. They only visit them once a day, feel their pulse, and look wise, and help the disease by breaking the patient's heart, telling him that all hope of recovery is gone. Why isthis? Is it because they have exhausted what little skill they possess; or are they too hanghty to stoop to use a simple rem- edy that would give relief in twenty-four hours? I will mention some of those simple remedies: Ayers Cherry Pectoral, Perry Davis’ Painkiller and Pendleton’s Panacea. Perhaps those Doctors are ignorant of the vir- tues of the medicines above named, I the cases which A youn

jlady from the country who had appli

to a certain doctor in the city to relieve a rained wrist which was very much swollen. he doctor examined it and informed the pa-

tient that a splint was broken out of one of the

wrist bones, and he advised her to remain in town a week, and amuse herself by bathing it

in warm yater aad it would soon get well. I

happened to be at the house where the young

y resided, and was amused to see her fol- lowing the doctor’s advice. I advised her to bathe it with Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, which

for the latest news—looal and telegraphic, | ahe did, and next day she went home well, I

fancied the splintered bone had healed very rapidly, not from the effects of the warm water however. The reason | now write on this sub- ject is especially on acconnt of the treatment of certain persons now suffering in the city, whose names will be given if necessary. Yours truly, JoHN MacMasrers. December 2), 1578. > a = —. nt Great Men and Great Books.

Wherever we recognize, singly or com-

| . . bined, largeness of mind, or strength of

character, or firmness of will, or fire of genius, or devoted loyalty, there is a born leader. Such a one we ought to be prepared to hear even before he begins to speak. lt is tor most part not he, but we, who are to blame if we fail to understand him. When- ever such a superior intelligence approves either in teacher or scholar, we have our re- ward, though all meaner minds turn away from us. ‘* I looked around my andience,” said the old Grecian orator, ‘‘and theyhad dwindled away—till only one remained. But that one was Plato, and this was enough for me.” The heroes of mankind are the mountains, the highlands of the moral world. They diversify its monotony, they furnish the watershed of its history, as cer- tainly as the Grampians, or the Alps, or the Andes, which tower over the lowlands and fertilize the plains and divide the basins of the world of nature. They are the * full- swelling fountain heads of change,” as well as the serene heights of repose. To be blind to this superiority, to be indifferent to these eminences, to think only of their defects or their angularities, is as depressing to the intellectual sense of beauty and worth as was that strange unconsciousness of physical grandeur which, in the last cen- tury, caused Oliver Goldsmith to prefer the continuous plan of Holland to the hills and rocks of which he complained, as inter- cepting by their deformities the view of the

unfortunate traveller in Scotland. To ap- :

preciate the glories of Shakespeare, or New- ton, or Luther, or Wellington, to discrimin- ate between the nobler materials of such na- tures as these, and the poorest stuff of which common mortals are composed, is as bracing to the meral and intellectual nerves as the newly awakened enjoyment of Ben Nevis or Monit Blanc is to the opening minds and active limbs of our latest born generation. ; . The study of the most famous authors, even in minute detail— even line by line, and word—is amongst the most nourishing of intellectual repasts. The attempt to clothe the dry bones of philosophic theories with the flesh and blood which they wore in other days is the best mode of understanding both the differ ence and likeness of ancient and modern times. Remember the pregnant saying of Goecthe-— There fare many echoes in_ the world, but few voices’—and let it be your constant effort to distinguish the voices from the echoes, and to respond according- ly. Insist on reading the great books on the great events of the world. Then the little books may be left to take care of themselves; and the trival incidents of pass- ing politics and diplomacy may perish with the using. Bear in mind that in every branch of knowledge, scientific or literary, or artistic, the first question to be asked is who is it that in that branch stands confessedly at the head? What is its chief oracle? Who is the ruling genius, head and shoulders above the rest! It is the masterwork of the respective departments of study which are as it were the canonical, the symbolical books of science and litera- ture, established beyond appeal by their own intrinsic merits, and by the universal acceptance of mankind.— Dean Stanley. — ee -

The latest popular song in London has this delightful refrain :— Oh, Julich! Juliah / It is really very peculiah / | don’t know why, but really ! Should like to be married to-day !

Oh, Julier! Julier/ ° It is really very peculier /

I don’t know why, but certainly | Wish to be married to-day !

The Russian Budget for 1877 shows a revenue of 548,830,830 roubles (the rouble is worth 73.4 cents), and an expenditure of 585,044,810. There is, therefore, a deficit of about $27,000,000, without including the military outlay of 429,328,089 roubles. Total added to the debt in 1877, about $525,000 ,000.

The price of bread in England is said te be precisely what it was in 1770. Beef, at its present retail price of nine pence, is a great advance on the three and three-quarter pence per pound of that day; and butter has risen from six pence to twenty pence.
