Lieutenant-Governor Carvell.

Tre evident satisfaction of the public with his appointment must be very pleasing to Lieut.-Governor Carvell. As the archi- tect of his own fortune, as & man who has

made his way in a small community, it might naturally be expected that enemies would

arise to oppose or denounce his appoint- ment to the highest and most honorable public position in the province. But, apart from a depreciatory doubt expressed

Dy an anonymous ribbler in the oppos- ition press, we have seen nothing of the kind. There was no mistaking the hearty ongratulations showered upon him to-day by many of the most influential of our re-

presentative men.

Ex-Lieut.-Governor Macdonald.

\s an orgso of public opinion, Tue Ex- AMINER is in duty, as it is in pleasure, bound to convey to the Hon. A. A. Mac- donald and Mrs. Macdonald, on their re- tirement from the duties of the oflice of Lieut.-Governor, an expression of the re- spect and esteem of the people of Prince Edward Island. Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald have exhibited a genuine and hearty inter- est in every movement towards the moral, material and intellectual elevation of the community. Whether before or after Con- federation, the Gubernatorial office in this island has been filled by no one who has given more careful attention to our school$ exhibitions, and

and colleges, our annual

r the promotion of

sll our institutions § it ir welfare. It is highly creditable to Mr. ul Mes. Macdonald that at time of gen- eval demoralization in respect to the liquor ws. they stood true to principle, and rigidly held to their determination to pre- vent tone use f wine snd ul ‘oholic liquors in Government House. There are some— perhaps many—persons who think that hey were, in this respect, foo strict. But ne, however fond of liquor he may be,

w however wrong or foolish he may deem

them to have been, can fai] to respect and

ulmire their conscientious adherence to the purse they deemed to be right.

Mr. Macdonald has occupied many pub- lic positions in this Province, and has done well in all. We trust thax he will still be ible to de good service for the country. rere

Notes and Clippings.

~The September bulletin makes a very favorable presentation of the state of the crops in Quebec province.

We have great pleasure in announcing the marriage of Mr. Arthur Newbery, and Miss Ella Malcom. The ceremony took place yesterday at the Church of the Mes- siah, Boston. We extend Tue EXAMINER’s hearty congratulations to the happy pair, and wish them continued happiness and prosperity.

4 Winnipeg gentleman tells the cor- respondent of a Montreal paper: ‘** Our crops are away ahead of those in Minnesota and Dakota. Farmers there are ploughing up their grain fields. There in hardly a day but immigrants are coming to us from

those States, many of them people who previously left Canada for them. In ad- dition, the land is being taken up about Winnipeg and in the valleys of the Red

and Assinuiboine rivers. It was previous- ly in the hands of speculators who could not Now it is im demand, and many who went further west are coming back and settling near the city. Thisis an ad- vantage to tne country. Property is go- ing up in Winnipeg, and the prospects are much brighter than for years past.”

4 Perplexing Question. LIBERALS PUZZLED AS TO WHAT GROUND

GLADSTONE WILL TAKE ON THE IRISH UNI-

VERSITY QUESTION.

Lonpox, Sept. 2.—During Gladstone's stay in Paris he will be entertained by President Carnot, and will undoubtedly experience great <ifticulty in escaping a de- gree of social attention greatly interfering with his principal object in going abruad, rest and recreation. Upon his return to England the ex-premier will speak at sev- eral liberal demonstrations which the party inanagers are arranging for during the par- liamentary recess. It is noteworthy that (iladstone’s followers, in making ar- rungeiments for these meetings have so aim- ed that they shall rather follow than pre- cede the conservatives’ meetings planned. Not only the Tories, but Mr. Gladstone’s tollowers as well, are awaiting with curiosity snd anxiety a disclosure of his attitude on Mr. Balfour's Irish university scheme. At present it is impossible to conceive how Mr. Gladstone can reconcile the Parnellites support of the scheme with the dogmatic opposition thereto which the Radicals have evinced. The Liberal press is chary about discussing the outcome of the matter in ad- vance of Mr. Gladstone’s declaration, and content themselves with a fewangry growls at Mr. Parnell for the ingratitude display- ed by himselt and his party. An indepen- dent endowed Catholic university at Dub- lin has long been one of Archbishop Walsh's schemes, and it is believed the government's adoption thereof is directly due to a privately conducted conference with that prelate by the ministry. The non-conformists of Engiand will unanimous- ly resent the proposal, fearing it will be followed by Irish support tor denominat- ional education for England altogether. The matter can only be viewed in the light 7 what Americans call a political ** deal.”

TO HON, J. S. CARVELL

A Representative Gathering,

UNUSUAL interest was shown’ upon the entry of the Hon. J. S. Carvell into the oftice of Lieutenant-Governor of the Pro- vince. We have not seen so many ladies and gentleman present on any former oc- casion on which a Lieutenant-CGovernor was sworn in, as were present at noon to- day, in the Legislative Council Chamber.

Dr. Todd, of New York, together with Mr. McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council, Mr. DeBlois, Clerk of the Executive Council, and many others drawn from the private walks of life.

The Governor-General’s Commission of appointment was read by Mr. DeBiois, and the Lieut.-Governor then took and sub- scribed to the oaths which we transcribe from the official minutes as follows :

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.

Natural History Society.

Tue Natural History Society held its meeting yesterday in McLeod's Hall, Queen Street, as advertised. Hon. David Laird, president, was in the chair. Among those present were Mr. D. Montgomery, Super- intendent of Education, Rev. J. C. Mac- donald, Rector of St. Dunstan's College, Edward Roche, Esq., Provincial Librarian, Mr. Bain, our Island geologist, Mr. Law- rence W. Watson, besides a goodly number of ladies, including several teachers of the public schools, and a number of students from St. Dunstan’s College. Principal McSwain, of the Normal School, read his interesting and instructive paper upun the Ferns of the Island, showing some beauti- fully-preserved specimens of fifteen var- ieties, and drawings of two others. Mr. McSwain explained the different arrange- ments and structures of the spore cases of the ferns which determine their classifica- tion; and stated, among other iateresting facts, that all the varieties abound within ten miles of Charlottetown, and that, consider- ing our geographical position, our possessions of this interesting class of plants are very rich. At the conclusion of the paper Mr. Bain made some valuable additions to the instruction given, exhibited some speci- mens of thw fossil ferns of the Isiand, which, he stated, abound at Gallas Point and Miminegash, and ended his eloquent speech by an invitation to those present to study botany. Mr. Roche and Mr. Mont- gomery followed. Mr. Watson spoke of the uses of ferns, dietetic and medicinal, and advocated a second paper dealing with the development and life history of ferns and the practical handling and preserving of specimens.

Quebec expects to add 16,000 to her population by the annexation of St. Sauv- eur. Most Canadian cities have a weak- ness for this sort of thing. Montreal, Tor- onto, and St. John have annexed suburbs, much to the latter’s advantage. In Quebec’s case the city takes rather more farm land into its hmits than Montreal, but not so much as Toronto.
