Prospects of Reciprocity.
ee
Presipent CLEVELAND, in his first message to Congress,recommends a com- mission to consider and settle upon a fair basis the entire question of fishing rights of Great Britain aod America ; but, in the same document he comes out squarely in favor of Protectiou. He says :—
‘*We should also deal with the modifi- cation of customs and revenue laws in such a manner as to protect the interests of American labor—within these limitations a certain reduction should be made in our customs revenue derived from a tax upon imported necessaries of life.”
The receipts of the United States Gov- ernment for the fiscal year ending Juve 80th were $322,600,706, the ordinary expenditures, $260 226,935, leaving a surplus of $62.463,771. The public debt is $1,514,475.860; the amount in the treasury, $66,818,920.
This flourishing state of the United States finances justifies a reduction in the amount exacted from the people; but the President’s utterauce is not sufli- ciently definite to indicate the course
that will be pursued by the United States Government with respect to Reciprocity.
It is quite unlikely that Canada will any longer allow the Americans to fish in her waters, without a valuable con- sideration in return for the privilege; avod bearing this in mind, Congress may be brought to see the propriety of making the contemplated reductions in the tariff in sucha way that the com- merce of Cauada may be favored. Just now the prospect is not very bright ; but Sir Joho Macdonald is in England to promote the negociations, and he may possibly be able to bring our too exclu- sive neighbors to terms.

Unexpected Results and Curious Situations.
As‘well in particular cases as in the general result of the British elections, the unexpected has happened. Lord Percy, the eldest son of the Duke of Northumberland and the future possessor of that Alowick castle which has been immortalized in FitzGreen Halleck’s poem, bas been beaten in the domaia of his great and rich father. A Durham miner bas ousted a Vane-Tempest. The senior member of the firm of Baring Brothers was defeated, and a junior member, twenty-four years old, elected. Burleigh, the war correspondent and formerly a reperter ou the Brooklyn press, has been barely beaten by the great shipbu‘lder Pearce.
In a score of constituencies Hodge has signed the death warrant of families that have sat upou him for three hundred years, though the sisters, cousins and aunts of Tory candidates begged for his vote at his cottage door as humbly as he | once begged at, their castle doors for soup and blavkets in the dead of winter.
The contest has also developed some curious situations. The heir of Lord Salisbury, elected by a majority of ‘five, and Lord Salisbury’s son-in law, will meet in the Houre on opposite benches. Mr. Donald Crawford, a divorce seeking candidate, will,siton the Liberal side with the co-respondent, Sir Charles Dilke. Two rival manufacturers, four- teen rival brewers and twenty rival editors will form harmonious groups.
The American term mvug-wump was naturalized in Enogland during the con- test. The Daily News has had a ‘Bal- lade of ye Mugwumpe,” and a late number of Punch has a column letter from & wugwump, ending, “Perties may do what they like with the country so long as they do not disturb me.” Punch thus defines the mugwump: ‘He is a con- temptible being who discovers selfish satisfaction in standing aside trom the press and practical politics.”

Pasteur’s Experiments.
Apvices from Paris state that « girl, who was bitten by a mad dog and sub- sequently inoculated by Dr. Pasteur, bas died by rabies. But Dr. Pasteur ex- plains that thirty-six days having elapsed before she was inoculated, the period of inoculation had expired, and the treat- ment was therefore too late. At eny rate, the leading physicians of the world have accepted the conclasions of Pasteur as tothe good of his method of inocula- tion in eases of hydrophobia ; and medica! science hus been greatly improved by his iuvestigations and discoveries. Pasteur experimented upon rabbits and other lower avimals; but Jigaro, of Paris, publishes a letter which shows that he need not have so limited his tests. The neat is addressed to Pasteur, and runs thus :—
ILLusrRiovs Savant—Tired of life and for private reasons determined to commit suicide, 1 offer you my person. Do you want to make a decisive proof un me? Let loose on me your maddest dog, and when I am covered with bites treat me with your strongest life-saving inoculation, If the disease does not declare itself it is a victory for the method. Otherwise give me a revolver,

DAILY
Procedure in the Courts.
WirtrAm Hearp, Esq., writes a long letter, showing how they do it in the courts of the old country, and suggesting very forcibly a contrast with the proce- dure here. No doubt the subject is one which, in the interests of the public, demands attention. Mr. Heard rather broadly hin's that a judge or two might be imported to instruct judges and law- yers on this side of the Atlaatic. We offer no opinion on this poiat; but the matter being one of public importance, the public will probably give it the con- sideration it deserves.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
CONDITION OF PATENTS,

Ann Murphy’s case is severe. At pre- sent she has no especially bad symptoms.

Crocket had a bad night. His tempera: ture rose to 106, but he is better again this morning.
Jas. McDonald who was admitted yester- day has a sever attack, butjseoms cheerful His age 50 and the want of vaccination makes his case critical.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.
At t'e quarterly official meeting of the Second Methodist Church, held last even- ing, the following resolutions were unani- mously adopted :—
That this quarterly meeting record the great loss sustained by this Church inthe removal to the Church above of our dear Brother, Bartholo- mew Pickard, whose quiet, unassuming, pure Christian life, kind!iness of manner and whole- hearted friendship had endeared him to all the members of this Church. His fidelity to the cause of God, as evidenced in his upright walk and con- versation, and in the faithful discharge of the duties of Steward and Sabbath School Superinten- dent, have left us an example worthy of emula- tion. While his vacant place at this Board may, for some time tocome, cause a deep feeling of sorrow for the lossof his presence with us, yet we cannot but rejoice in the Lord that he has gone to join in the song of those ‘Who are before the cmrene of God and serve Him day and night in His temple.”
‘That we offer to Mrs. Pickard our sincerest sym- pathies in her great bereavement, with the prayer that the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ may enable her to bear her sorrow, and that she and all those whom God has given her may be pre- served blameless until His coming, that they may again meet with him for whom they now mourn.
That this Board have great reason to be thankful tliat so many of our oon tion—who have been in the midst of the terrible pestilence, with which the city has so lately been visited— have been mercifully preserved therefrom, While at the same time we mourn the loss of so many regniat attendants, among whom are Mr. George Way, Lemuel Way, Miss Way, William Allen and Miss Carver, of whom died in the Hospital. Also. Mrs. Henry Foster, whe passed away very suddenly carly this month,and Mr. Archibald McKinnon, who died of typhoid fever in November. Wecan but pray that the God of our Father may comfort the hearts of the Widows ‘ mene and friends who mourn for these depart- ed ones,
That tho Board r ize the great obligations we are under to the Board of Health, Health otticers, and ail offic:als and volunteers who have worked so nobly and sosuccessfully in controlling the disease, and caring for the a/fticted.
We would, atthe same time, endeavor to im- press upon our magistrates, mayor and council, that terrible retribution follows the violation of the law of the land, of health and of morality, all of which are the laws of God;and we hope and

NOTES. No new cases to-day.
Five flags were removed from isolated house to-day.
The following patients will be discharged to-day: James McQuaid and one child, Mrs. Percivel.
We are assured that the report that the smallpox is at Mr. Taylor’s mills, Mount Stewart, is absolutely false. ,
Brenton Dawson is doing wel). His eyes were closed by pox on the lids. These have cleared off, and he can see as well as ever.
The following patients have been dis- charged from the hospital: Mrs. Pickard and two children, Mrs. Waye, Mra. Me- Callum.
The Board of Health require clothing for two children and a mother. Parties having second hand clothiug to send these, would do well by forwarding them immediately to the Board.

Literary and Scientific Institute.
Dr. Leeming gave an interes ing address before the above society last evening, on the ‘Game of Chess.” For this game he claimed many advantages over others more extensively played. It is freest from the gambling associations, which attend all games of chance. It is one requiring skill and a sober mind. its history is very ancient, it having been invented, as some writers show, during the siege of Troy, to relieve the tedium of the war. It is mentioned by Ovid in his ‘Art of Love,’ and inscriptions of such games have been found on ancient monuments. The names of chess and similar games were derived
from the Persian, and they have travelled |
through the Eastern countries, where they ara much played. He gave a full descrip- tien of the method of playing the game, from aciub-room chess board, placed be- fore the audience. He would like to see this game in more general use, aa it is a fascinating one, much played in Europe and the United States. He gave instances of the powers of memory of several remark- able players. A great advantage of this

game is that it does nnt unfit a man fer business. The same qualities of mind that enable one to play chess well are also re- quired in a good mathematician; thus it is a tine means of mental training. The ad- dress was followed by a spirited discussion, participated in by Messrs. R Smallwood, Jas. McDonald, Wm. Doull, Rev. Ira Mitchell, Rev. S. G. Lawson, W. A. Weeks, J. Good, O.

LETTERS TO THE EBITOR.
More Falsehoods.
Srr,-—- Some malicious persons have been endeavoring to circulate rumors in the country that it was not safe to buy goods at my store, and give asa reason thatI re- ceived goods from Montreal. That I re- ceived Canadian manufactured goods from Montreal and other parts of Canada I admit, but they were in every instance during the pasét six months accompanied by the Health Inspec- tor’s certificate as being wholly free jrom infection. I may further state for the information of the country people that there is not a merchant in this city and a great many of the country mercheuts, but get goods from Montreal. For proof of this it is oply necessary to look at the Mon- treal steamers manifests at the offices of the agents of said steamers in this city, viz., Messrs, Peake Bros. & Co., and Messrs. Carvell Bros.
Iam credibly informed that this report originated here. Every community has its quota of jealous small souled creatures, who will use every means, however false or malicious, to injure their neighbor’s busi- ness, and this place seems not to be the exception,

A Nuisance.
Sir,—The City Council have placed a pump in the old well near the disused en- gine house on Sydney street, (west) so close to the sidewalk as to be a nuisance to per- sons who have to travel past it. Nearly every time a pedestrian comes along, the sidewalk is occupied by a horse or a cow drinking from the trough, and the animal having priority of occupation, the man or woman is compelled to step out into the gutier in order to get past. Even when not obstructed by animals the sidewalk shows evidence of their having been there, and the accumulated filth is extremely dis- gusting. Such a nuisance would be a dis- grace toa frontier village twelve months old, ave should not be tolerated a single day. Rest pent.
