innocent chemicals, replaced not only wines, but vearly all brands of liquors in our Scott Act protected city. It is high time the vendors of such villainous health and soul-destroying compounds as are daily sold in Charlottetown, under the names of ale, brandy, wine, gio, and _whiskey,were brought to condign punish- ment. These outlaws, for they are nothing more or less, who are poisoning those who are entering their dens, should be made to feel the stern heavy haud of justice that has Jong been warningly uplifted over them. They should be made to realize that if justice is some- times tardy, she is none the less severe ‘for having deferred the blow. In the meantime, it would be well for those who purchase and drink said compounds, to beware.

-For many years the people of Charlotte‘own have «almost uniformly udhered to two sober colors—grey and browo—in the exterior painting of their houses, occasionally, by way of variety, using the shades of the colors selected.

| This summer, however, the teachings of Oscar Wilde are beginning to bear fruit, and a vast imp~ovement is noticeable, Brighter colors are used, and more pleasing effects obtained. People are avoiding the old grooves, and putting to practical test their ideas of decorative art, which, in connection with landscape gardening, only require to be more ex- teusivily carried out to place our prettily situated town on a par with more pre- ‘tentious cities. It is well worth a drive around town to notice the artistic im- provements in the residenee of W. A. Weeks, James McLeod, B. Rogers, Supt. Coleman, D. Farquharson, M, P. P., (three dwellings) Hon. D. Laird, ‘Zion Church, Wright’s Furniture Ware- ‘house, and several ethers. Some of : ;

these dwellings are now as beautiful as ‘pictures, there being a true blending and harmony of colors abservable. But they | are only pioneers in the movement. There | yet remain hundreds of handsomely built residences to be beautified. Let brighter ‘colors be used in the future. Let them {be gay, but not gaudy, so that another | year may mark the total disappearance /ot the gloomy hues that have hitherto given the city such a woe-begone look. Put on a holiday appearance, by a liberal and judicious use of ¢he paint brush ; tear down the old dead walls that dis- figure the streets, furnishing the advance agent of the variety troupe an oppor- tunity to paste up his semi-nude repre- sentations of the *‘ human form divine,” and replace them by neat railings and hedges, construct decent pavements, remove the highly scented fish market from Queen Square, build a comfortable public hall and a hotel worthy of the name, and beautify all the churches and public buildings. Then turn to good account the numberless little patches of ground throughout the city that are now either vacant or used as unsightly ash heaps, by transforming them into flower gardens to rejoice the lover of the beautiful, or vegetable and fruit plots to delight the palate of the vegetarian. It will afford light, pleasant, and profitable exereise tor leisure hours. In a very few years the public square can be made to rival the horticultural gardens of larger cities. Two seasons work on Queen Square, now a source of pleasure auti pride to the citizens, shows how much can be accomplished by willing and energetic hands. Get waterworks constructed so that the streets may be daily flushed to relegate the obnoxious dust back to its native mud. And Jast, but not least, let commodious bathing houses be erected along the beach of our magnificent harbor, where the weary may refresh their heated bodies. Then, when all there ideas are resolved into actual matters of fact, we may expect to see Charlottetown become what it is well fitted by nature to be, the most popular summer resorf in Canada, an Arcadia to which the tired toilers of busy inland cities will be eager to steal away during the hot months, and where they can spené their yacation renewing their shattered health and invigorating their wearied faculties. Good water, baths, and pavements, and an unsparing use of the mechanical and decorative arts, are all that is required. Nature has sypplied all the rest. Beautiful quiet land-scapes, splendid suburban grounds, coo) drives, and ever varying seashores with their long reaches of tinted sands, breezy air

return after many days.”

cial Condition of Canada.

(From the Montreal Gazette, Aug. 22.

The business of Canada duriog July, as reflected in the bank statement for that month, was of moderate extent, and compares rather unfavorably with that of June. Circulation declined, deposits increased, loans fell off, results produced by a lethargic trade movement and an accumulation of idle capital. Commer- cial activity in July is not expected; the month marks the hiatus between the spring and fall trade, and has for its normal condition duliness in all depart- ments of business. This year no cir- cumstances have erisen to produce an exception to the rule, rather, indeed, the contrary, and that so serious contraction of trade is indicated by the bank returaos is as much as could be anticipated. The amount of circulation ontstanding at the close of July was $29,607,902, a decrease on the month of only $85,000, and as in May and June an expansion of the currency occurred it is a hopeful sign that in the dull midsummer period,

before the harvest has begun to move, ,

the circulation was _ practically maintain- ed. A year ago the business of Canada required for its conduct only $28,063,- 300; to-day $29,697,900 are found necessary tor that purpose, and if the de- cline in prices in the interval is consider- ed there can be no disputing the fact that a larger trade is being carriel ou at this time. The increase in public de- posits has been remarkable. A _ year ago they reached $93,925,000; at the close of June last they were $95,030,000, and at the close of July no less than $99,062,000, or very nearly the largest emount ever reported. While the joint stock banks are thus becoming custo- diavs of more and more of the people’s surp!us capitals and earnings, the private and the Government savings banks are also largely increasing their deposits, The interpretation of this accumulation of money is not easily madv. Doubtless it arises from the slackuess of trade and the closing up of avenues for the employ- ment of capital widely open during periods of marked activity aud prosper- ity in all branches of business, but it is to be remembered, on the other hand, that the deposits were highest in 1882 and 1885 when industries were fully oc- cupied. The iocrease in deposits in the several classes of banks must, all things regarded, be accepted as evidence of the growing wealth of the country and as a foundation of a substantial and rapid en- largemeni of trade whenever the ecano- mic couditions for an expansion are present. Meauwhile the superabundance of money has reduced the rate of interest below any figure hitherto known, and the banks are embarrassed to find employ

ment for the funds at their disposal. =r

A Nevada Voicano.

THE STORY OF ITS ERUPTION AS TOLD BY SOME FRIGHTENED SHEPHERDS.

According to the Virginia Chronicle, Nevada boasts a pretty lively volcano. It reports that a voleano has broken forth in the mountains sixty miles southeast cf Bishop Creek. A party cf frightened shepherds rode into Cande- laria a few days ago covered with dust aud ashes, and with numerous holes burnt in their clothing. ‘They reported that on Saturday they were startled by an unusual rumbling noise and trembling of the ground. At first they mistook the noise and rumbling for thunder, but it was quickly followed by a tremendous explosion, and on looking up they were appalled at seeing a mountain not far away belching forth a column of flames and smoke several feet in height. The air was soon filled with fiery cinders and hot ashes, which came down upon them in clouds. The affrighted men im- mediately drove their sheep to a place of safety and rode to the nearest settle- ment with the startling news. Several exploring parties have gone to the scene of eruption. A bright pink glow noticed on the horizon at Virginia city for several nights is believed to have been caused by the eruption.

oo

The State of Trade.

The Montreal Gazette (Aug. 21) re- ports: “Taken as a whole trade has been fairly active for the season, although there cannot be said to be any change in its general condition. In volume the movement is as large as a year ago and comes up to expectations, but it pro- gresses in a quiet way, which does not attract much attention. The outlook for the remainder of the season is gerer- ally regarded as*favorable for a healthy trade, but there is no expectation of activity. The agricultural situation has
