THe Dartty EXAMINER.

a re a —

DECEMBER 17, 1878.

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

Indeed it may now be truly said that the DarLty Examiner is one of the “ institu- tions’ of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Datty ExaMINER in the city, along the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubiful if the people could 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 Dairy 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 Datry ExaMINER, a daily telegra: containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.

Through the Darty Examiner 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 possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Darty 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 throug): the Dairy ExaMINneR 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 Darty Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.

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

The beginning of another term is a good

time to subscribe ; and persons who have

not hitherto taken the Dairy Examiner would do well to subscribe now.

In connection with the Darry ExamMINER the WEEKLY EXAMINER will be issned, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

To the Editor of the Daily Examiner.

Sir, —Being a subscriber to your valuable Daily, and having dealt considerably in print- ers’ ink in the way of advertising—-which, I claim, has proved the best financial experiment I have tried (and no first-class business man will deny bet what advertising has paid well in the end) I take the liberty of asking space in the columns of your inestimable journal— which, I find in my travels over the Island, is fast becoming a household comfort, and gain- ing favor among all classes—for a few remarks. Last week I read an item written by your cor- respondent at County Line, in reference toa water power at that place, and the likelihood of its being put to use in the running of starch and sugar works, which would make a steady market for our farmers’ beets, turnips and potatoes, and prove a stepping-stone to the building up of manufactories throughout the Island.

Immediately after this item appeared, out comes a ‘‘cheap” communication in the New Era, signed ‘‘ Skye,” attempting to ridicule the writer in the EXaMINnER as to the English and Grammar of his communication. I wish to remind Mr. ‘‘ Skye” that it does not re- quire college graduates, those who write strictly in accordance with ‘‘Webster’s Un- abridged,” or weak-kneed old maids to build dams and tit up machinery and buildings in which to make starch or refined sugar. His literary effort is uot at all called for. The wheels of progress need all the power that can be applied in this manufacturing business ; for, although nature has provided all that is needed in the way of water power, etc., this Island of ours is a long way behind.

There is no doubt as te the value of the water power of County Line. Those at Mr. Elliott's and at Hunter River are also likely to prove of great value to manufacturers ; for no later than last week 54,000 was offered for the latter. 1 trust Mr. ‘‘Skye” will keep quiet, cease acting the critic, and do what he can to help his neighbors in their work of pro- gression. He may need a “‘lift” himself.

Yours, ete., MISNAME.

Life, Death, and Immortality.

SOME QUEER THINGS SAID BY MR. BEECHER.

New York, Dec. 9.—In his pulpit re- marks yesterday Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said :—There is no man, no king, no states- man, even Bismarck, that can’t be spared. There is no man that we should remember more than a week, except in the tabernacle of love, if it were not for the newspapers which tells us for a week thata man is going to die, and then for another week what he died of. We feast upon death in the mat- ter of news. When I think of my forty ears of active life, it does not seem as though I had done anything, and if I should die I should not be missed. Another would step right into my place. If I should die there would be a few tears shed by my immediate friends, but the great, stupid world would not know anything about it,and it makes about as much difference whether a leaf falls from the maple tree in front of my deor as it would if Ishould drep out. Now, this is not a comfortable thought. I like to have a sense of continuity and power. I am not what I seem; I am of God. Iam at one with Him. Iam on my way towards power and towards glory. When I look upon this stage of being I am like aman in a stage, riding towards his father’s house. The stage is crowded, and all his limbs are cramped. But what does it matter? To-morrow is Thanksgiving, and I shall be at home. I do not know about other animals; I have no theory; I have a wish and a hope that every noble horse may have a better life beyond, and 1 hope that every dog, or at least some dogs, may have a little immortality. However that may bo, you do not understand it. I[ do not understand it. But we all of us aspire to immortality.

Carpeniers get from 6d to 7d per hour and generally work nine hours, It is pro- posed, not by the men but by the masters, te reduce the time to eight hours. This would give from $1 to $1.15 daily pay. Cabinetmakers get in Edinburgh from 7d to 8} per hour. Masons’ laborers get 5d per hour.

Stagnation of Trade in Jamaica.

According to latest advices, there 1s per- fect stagnation in trade and agricultural business in Jamaica, and such a depression has not been known on the Island for seventy five years. The coffee crop prom- ises to be abundant this year, and in some parishes—like Vere—the yield of sugar will be unexampled in its plentitude. On the other hand, pimento and ginger have been a failure this year. Sir Anthony Musgrave, the new Governor, is about to introduce anew railway bill for the opening up of the interior of the island, where there are no means of bringing the produce of the colony to market.

rire = Great Britain’s Great Trade. With all the trade depression existing in Great Britain, it continues to hold the leading position in the trade of the world. In 1877 the following were the figures :— Foreign commerce of Great Britain,

$3,616,239, 680 do do France, 1,516, 158,690 do do U. States 1,172,487,620

It will be observed that the foreign com- merce of Great Britain exceeds the totals of France and the United States combined. The apparent balance against England, com- paring the imports and exports, was $694,- 800,000; against France, $109,510,000, while the balance in favor of the United States was $164.684,272.—H~».

Butt and His Constituents.

Mr. Butt lately issued an adress to his constitnents. It ‘s a very long one, re- viewing the pregress which has been made by the [rish party in Parliament since 1873. He shows that a great advance has been made, quite a revolution having been effect- ed in the tone of Parliamentary and public feeling in regard to his country. The liberty of the people had been greatly en- larged, many beneticial measures had been passed, and there was a good prospect of many others of an equally beneficial char- acter being adopted by the Legislature. At the same time, however, Mr. Butt de- nounces in the most vehement terms the policy of obstruction pursued by some of the

rish representatives, remarking that, if persevered in, it would prove that Irishmen were unqualified to take their place in any free assembly in the world. ;

Royal Geographical Society.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY LORD

THE NEW PRESIDENT.

The annual meeting of the Royal Gee- graphical Society of London was held on the 9th inst. The Earl of Dufferin, the new President, delivered his inangural address. His Lordship was supported by Sir Ruther- ford Alcock, K. C. B., D. ©. L., the retir- ing President; Mr. C. R. Markham, C. B., the Secretary; Lord Arthur Russell, M. P., the Foreign Secretary, and other distin- guished members of the Society. As an appropriate compliment to his Lordship’s early travel in high latitudes, the evening was devoted to the subject of Arctic ex- ploration. In his inaugural address, the new President gave an eloquent and _ inter- esting account of his recent travels in the Great North-West, with a glowing descrip- tion of the prospects of that vast territory in connection with the future of the Do- minion of Canada. Papers were also read on the Swedish Arctic expedition under Prof. Nordenskjold, and the recent Dutch expedition to the Polar regions.

DUFFERIN,

Newfoundland.

Tue following are the very latest advices from Newfoundland, ria Halifax, Dee. 13th :—

For the last three or four weeks we have had warm, foggy, rainy weather, which has seriously interfered with the handling of fish, a good deal of which will not be cured until spring. The catch of fish is twenty per ceut. vetter than last year, but prices are lower. Exports from St. John’s from August Ist to 26th November, compared with corresponding period last year :

1878—-Fish, 220,754 qtls. ; Seal, 1,468 tuns.

1877—Fish, 204,033 qtls.; Seal, 1,317 tuns.

Cod Oil in 1878-——1,203 tuns.

‘* in 1877—1, 112 tuns.

The exports of salmon falls short of last year by 1,175 tierces, and herring by 12,- 227 barrels, .

Reported that Mr. Ellershausen has in- creased the capital of his Copper Mining Company by £250,000 sterling.

The mining districts are overcrowded with men unable to find employment.

Newfoundland, too, is going for “‘ pro- tection to heme industries.” To date, 162,897 lbs. manufactured tobacco and 331,200 Ibs. of leaf have been imported. A new tobacco factory and a large furniture factory are being erected.

Tue Patacr Car.—We understand that the Minister of Public Works has detained the Palace Car at Ottawa, where it wil! hereafter be kept for the use of the Governor General and Cabinet. Mr. Grant, the Conductor, re- turned home yesterday, a permanent care- taker being no longer required. This fine rolling palace has found its proper position at last, but what will poor Brydges do?’ As for Mr. Luttrell, he will, of course, be exceedingly glad, as it is well understood that he always travelled in it with great reluctance, his de- lights being with the common people who
