Chivavo, was the foreman of the shipyard, who

brovght the model out with him from’ Glas- gow, and that is kept in the rooms of the Literary and Historical Soctety. There is another point about this memorable voyage

-~An archeological discovery of great in- terest has recently been made at Sidon. ta May last year Hamdy Bey found m the course of excavations at Sidon eleven sarcophagi—four Pheeacian and seven Greek. The former had been already deserived and illustrated in a French archwelogical journal, bat Hagdy saved

the Greek ones to make a book about them, which wil Alb these are now in Constantinople in boxes, and will be as a fitting room can be prepared. One of the Greek sarcophagi is of such large proportions, magnificence of sculpture and coloring, that from the start

exhibite d as soon

the discoverers assumed it to be che tomb of some Assyrian king. But Hamdy devoted deep research to the work of studying the sculpture, and concluded finally that the sareo- phagus was that of Alexander the Great.

Its sculpture on thistheery represents the battle of Arbela, a lion hunt, and the battle of Granicus. All the relievos are ' splendid and of almost artistic merit. The sarcophagus is nearly 12 feet long, 7 feet high and 5$ feet broal, and the tofal | weight is 15 tons, vf which the cover weighs 10. Itis of fine Parian marble. A photograph of it has been sent to a : number of French savacts, including Renan, and some of them are now there : studying it. The New York Herald gives the opinions of leading savants of Europe and the United States on the subject, and they generally concur that the sarcophagus is that of Alexander the Great. It is well

known that Alexander was buried in a magnificent tomb at Alexandria, and there is no evidence to show thatthe sarcopha-

gus was even taken to Saida (or Sidon).

: } The Guardian charges that the Goy- : ernment has been guilty of a breach of the .7 Canada Temperance Act in granting “a ' license to a. fourth vendor in this city.” ‘ The Act provides that the number of licensed druggists in each city shall not ex- ceed one forevery four thousand inhabit- ants. Now, Charlottetown contained in 1881, a population of 11,485. If the ratio of ierease (2,675 in the previous decade) i has been maintained, Charlottetown has : now a population of abont 14,000. A popu- : lation of twelve thousand would i adinit voi three licensed druggists ‘ or vendors; and if so, the Govern-

ment is certainly uot guilty of a breach of

the law because, for a _ population of 14,000, they have appointed four. Two venders may be appointed for a town of less than four thousand inhabitants ; and if

so, how can the Government be justly ac- counted guilty of a breach of the law be- cause they have appointed an additional ! vendor for the additional two thousand t ‘ a *

in Charlottetown. According to — the Guardian's ‘ interpretation of the. law, 4G atown of one or two or three thousand inhabitants could not. have a licensed drug- gist or vendor, and its people would have to depen upon the groggeries for the liquorre-

in quired for medicinal purposes. The Guar- i a dianseems toforgetthat licensed vendorsand :F druggists can sellonly on the prescription

of a physician in good standing ; and that there is a large population outside'of Char-

;

lottetown to be. supplied. No harm

! could be done to temperance if

| all the druggists in town were licensed; and we are very sure that if the law

ndmitted of the appointment of all, the peo} le ia beth town and country would not complain. Drunkenne:s is not likely to be increased by the respectable druggists of

| Charlottetown; and if the Guardian ; devoted its attention te the dens in which 4 not omy men, but-women and children are nt being debauched and ruined, “it would. be

bette 1 employed than in denouncing the Government because a fourth druggist has been licensed.

Parliamentary Notes.

Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., has notice that he will ask the Ministry: “Is itthe intention of the Government to have another steamer built, this season to as- sist the Northern Light in keeping up com- munication between Prince Edward Island and the Mainland in the winter season? If not, how isit supposed that such commuuica- tion shall be maintained during next winter, 0 as to comply with that article of the Terms of Union between Prince Edward Island and the Dominion, stipulating that an efficient steam service for the conveyance of mails and passenyers is to be éstablished and maintained between the Island and the Dominion, winter and summer, thus placing the Island in continu ous communication with, the lntercolonial Rail- way and the Railway system of the Dominion. Also ‘' Is it the intention of the Government, during the present session, to submit any pro- position to Parliament with the yiew of meet- ing the complaints of the Government of Prince idward Island respecting the alleged non-compliance by the Dominion Government with the Terms of Union respecting steam communication with that Province, or with reference to the suggestions for a settlement of the claims msde upon the Dominion by Prince Edward Island, contained in Earl jranville’s despatch to His Excellency the Governor-General, dated 3ist March, 1866?”

Mr. Welsh has given notice that» he will ask the ministry ‘‘ is it the intention of the Government tovhave the Bar at Pinette Harbor, Prince Edward Island, dredged during the coming summer ?-’ alge, ** Is. it the intention of the Government te ‘have the dredging at Wood Island harbor -per- formed this year so as t» make that harbor available tor shipping purposes ?”

Mr. Charles Annand, of the Halifax Chronicle, and Mr. Leckie, of the Spring Hill mines, are at Ottawa on business with the Government in relation to the building of a railway from Oxfeml to Spring Hill.

St. Patrick's Day.

given

To-pay, being the festival of Ireland's patron Saint, was duly celebrated by the lrishmen of this city. Although the weather was exceedingly disagreeable, the members of the Betievolent. Irish. Society turned out well—their procession ranking with the best we have seen for some years past.

At 9.45 the procession, headed by the Artillery Band, left the Lyceum for St,

Dunstan's Cathedral, whete the usual services were held. Solemn High Mass

was celebrated by His Lordship Bishop Melntyre, with Rey. Charles Macdonald as assistant priest, Rev, J. A. Maedonald dea- con, Rev. J.C. McLean sub-deacon and Rev. A. J. MelIntyre Master of Ceremonies. After Mas:, Rev. F.. X. Gallant acsended the pulpit and preached an excellent ser- mon, dealing chiefly with the great faith of St. Patrick, and the beneficial effects of his early labors among the Irish people. |The collection was in aid of St Vincent de Paul Soviety, and upwards of $40 were collected,

After the services at the church were concluded, the procession re-formed, and preceded by the band playing Irish airs, passed down Great George Street to Water. Street, along Water to Prince, up Prince to Kent, along Kent to Pownall, down Pow- nal to Water, along Water to. Queen, up Queen to Grafton, along Grafton to Prince, and down Prince to the Lyceum where they dispersed,

‘The day's proceedings will be brought-te a close with a dramatic entertainment in the Lyceum this evening. The thrilling drama *‘ Jessie Vere,” and the laughable faree ‘*Turn him Out,” constitute the bill of fare. Both drama and farce have been carefully rehearsed, and will, no doubt, draw & full bouse.

A short instances of going to return to the subject again, but | have lately been much struck with some instances of invective to which alliter- ation adds a peculiar piquancy to the comié effeet. Thus Grattan, denouncing the British ministry, said:—‘* Their only means of government are the guinea and the gallows.” Sydney Smith empleys this feature of style with masterly skill and effect ; as when he speaks of an opponent as ‘‘a poluphagous, poluposous, and pot- bellied scribbler ;"’ and when, in contrast- ing the position of the poor curates with that of the high dignitaries of the English Church, he calls the tw classes *‘ the Rt. Rev. Dives in the palace, and Lazarus in orders at the gate, doctored by dogs and comforted-with crumbs.” A still more striking instance is an ironical passage in his ‘* Letters of Peter Plymley,” in which, ridiculing « measure» of Mr. Perceval, the -British Prewier, he asks :— ** At whiat period was the plan of conquest and . constipation’ fully developed? ~ Ip. whose mind was the idea of destroying the pride and plasters of France first engender- ed?

But then we are told, “ only think . of the amount of time saved by early rising,” and when all other arguments are exhaust- ed the early riser will tall. for slate- and pencil and proceed to prove, “by arithnieti- eal calculation, that you may add some six or seven years to your life by crawling out of bed at five o’cluck instead of seven.
