In the town and is throughout this demand tor house avd farm servants, |

The supply from local sources is quite | insufficient, and few or nove come here | from abroad. But all the while, the| taxes paid by our people are being used | to assist the emigration of persons of} both sexes from the mother country, who| go into service in other cities apd towns, | and settlements io Cavada. We are| clearly eutitled to a share of these much | needed immigrants; and it is more than | probable that if an application were| made tothe proper quarter we should | get it.. There is not in Canada a better agricultural community than that of this Island, while in the towns there are numbers of comfortable homes, lacking servants, in which English girls would be glad to live,

Another Steamer Withdrawn.

The Inspector of Steamboats, having refused her a certificate after the 25th of November, the steamer “*Elfin”’ has beet laid up for repair.

In this case, asin the case of the “St. Lawrevce” and ‘Princess of Wales,’ we must enter a protest. Steamers should not be compelled to stop runving at the very time in the year, wheo of all others, they are most needed. That steamers should be as safe as possible, is true and right, But if the Inspector deems a steamer in need of repair for the fall season, the owners should be notified early in the year, sO that they may have the necessary repairs made at a convenient time, aud _ receive the certificate, which would enable their boat to run until the close of naviga- tion. To stop a steamer peremptorily at a certain date in October or November is a harsh and unfair proceeding both to the owners and the public. On the other hand the owners of steamers under contract with the publie should do their best to meet the views of the Inspector and provide the accommodation required. We hope the Local Govern- ment will be able to make an arrange- ment under which Mr. Fowle will be at ovce furnished with a steamer to ply on the East and West Rivers so long as navigation remains open. That the Government did not obtain possession of the “Elfin” last spring in time torepair her thoroughly is to be regretted, though the fault was, we believe, not theirs. But their duty now is to hire, if possible, another steamer, in order that their engagements with the public may be fulfilled. The people of East and West Rivers complain bitterly and with good cause, on account of the untimely withdrawal of steamboat ac- commodation.

Crue!ty to Anima's.

Our attention has been called by a lady to a most flagrant case of cruelty to animals, which occurred on Pownel Street yesterday afternoon. Two men, says our informant, were driving some sheep down towards the wharf, evidently for the purpose of having them shipped away. The sheep were in a cart piled one on top of the other and tied together with ropes just as a load of furniture would be piled and tied, rendering it almost impossible for the poor animals to move. Any one, the lady says, could see that they were suffet- ing from the cramped _ position in which they were hnddied together on the cart. Our informant wishes to know whether there is a society here for the protection of animals. There is no such society, but from the many cases of cruelty that have come under our notice, itis high time that such a society should be formed. ‘ Dominion have such societies and the immense good they have done cannot be estim ued, Here, in this cily, where, often, there is little or no mercy shownto dumb avimals, such a society should be formed, aod stringent measures taken to provide for their proper care and treatment.

—A correspoudent calls attention to the want of a plankway from the street opposite Mr. Crabbe’s hardware store to the Post Office, and points out the un- fairness of having plankways on the South Side of the Square and none on the North. We have already called the ar- tention of the Public Works Department to this matter; and as we have in this town no street delivery uf letters and papers, and as the people are compelled to go persovally to the Post Office in all kiuds of weather and streets, we hope the plankway will be laid ax requested. The Deminion Government are very ready to afford improvements which are required. This proposed plankway is an improve- ment; it is wanted; and we feel sure that it will be granted,

The liabilities of the Mississippi Valley Bank, which failed on the 22nd inst. will reach $800,000. The cash on hand is said to be only $15,000. A long list of pre- ferred creditors has been published, the | amounts due them agyrezgating nearly | $400,000. The commission grocery house | of John F. Halpin & Co., St. Louis, has| been closed on account of the failure. |

Nearly all the cities in the}

‘a the couutry, there| Square have t» wade through the mud

spring and fall to get to the Post Office, while those living on the south side are provided with plank sidewalks and are also provided with gas lamps?

We have put up with this injustice for a long time, and now ask the authorities to vive us the same conveniences enjoyed by our more favored neighbors living on the south side.

Reply to the Question What Has Ireland Done for Engiand ?

Si1r,—England owes her present rich and powerful position to Ireland. She convert- the fair and fertile farms of Ireland into pasture lands, where she fattened her prize stock—both man and beast. I charge England with closing the resources of Ire- land and draining the life-blood of the Irish people.

Intercepted Letter.

SHOWING THE TRICKS OF HONEST PARTNERS.

Dear Parrner,— Yours received yester- day, and contents noted. The fallin starch can't affect us any, but beneficially in any case if only that system we began with is closely followed. So do not be disheart- ened. I have used my endeavors to pre- vent schooners from P. from going over there for potatoes. So the hoodlums there must be forced to sell to- factory.

Put the payments off as long as possible in case if my plans succeed you may be called upon tu leave at any moment. Several of my honestly cencerted plans I have had to forego. The air is full of suspi cions, and I find some of my best friends are beginning to pry too much, but our only plan is to keep a bold religious front. Public prayer in Church and Sunday Schools if possible, and as much earnest abuse of me as you dare, and never fear, I shall do likewise. This has carried us through for five years and 1 guess it will for a year or two more. Write immediately,

Yours &c., W.S.

The Exodus.

The scribes of the Transcript who find congenial employment in haunting the rail- way trains to ascertain the number ef people who are leaving the country, report- ed that forty Prince Edward Islanders who had come over in the schr, ‘‘Carrier Dove” from Summerside to Point du Chene Wed- nesday morning, were on Wednesday's train en route tothe States. The Summer- side Journal states that ‘‘thirty-four pas- sengers’”’ were on board the ‘‘Carrier Dove.” Possibly all these ‘‘passengers’’ were leay- ing the country on this particular day, but usually a proportion of those who come from the Island to the mainland have busi- ness and return within. afew days. But at any rate, having made some inquiries, we learn that most of those—and their number has been persistently over-stated—who have been leaving the Island lately, come to work in the lumber woods in New Bruns- | wick and Maine, as is their usual custom, the fishermen, employes of the lobster fac- tories, and fiimicrs’ sens having very.little chance for employment in the winter. Chey almost invariably return in the Spring, when, unfortunately, the Grit seribes are uot on hand to chronicle the influx. The population of the Island is steadily increas- og, but #f the ‘‘exodus” statements that appear in sume news papers were true the litthe Province would have been deserted ere this. —Moncton Times.

Spanish papers assert that the visit of the Crown Prince of Germany is associated with a project for the annexation of Portugal to Spain cs the price of the Germano-Spanish alliance. The Crown Prince of Portugal, who is now visiting England, has had an interview with Earl Granville, and the object of his visit is said to be to oppose German intrigre.

The World's London despatch says that the Marquis Tseng has officially notified Jarl Granville that Chinese troops are being hurried to Tonquin, and that China will oppose the French by force of arms if they attack Bacniph or Hemghoa. Earl Granville has informed the French Ambas- sador at London that, in view of the pres- ent crisie, the English Government desires to try mediation between France and China ou a basis which would give China the north bank of the Red river and France the south bank. China is willing to accept this settlement.

The London Spéctater (Liberal organ) says: ‘‘We must defend Egypt to the first cataract. We must hold the valley of the Syene, at least; the troops must remain. If we retire, Egypt may be divided by in- surrection or aceept E] Medhi. That would mean an advance of the British army to defend the Ottoman Caliphate, which, if Ei Medhi reached Cairo,would not be worth a fool's purchase. Until El Medhi is de- feated, the delta of the Nile must be gar- risoned by British troops;” and it further states: ‘‘EKither we mis-read the Arabs altogether, or, in a month, the French wil! be fighting for their lives from (Crabes to Morocco,”

A despatch from Admiral Courbet an- nounces traté he will move on Sontay during the coming week. He has 10,000 men, but only theshalf of them are available for an advance. It is reported that M. Ferry is urging his colleagues tq consent to send to Tonquin 7,000 fresh troops. The unani- mous opinion of French and German mili- tary authorities is that unless Courbet is reinforced he has a critical task before him Chinese troops have been ordered to remain within their entrenchments at Bacninh and ‘Tokop, strictly on the defensive. The

tontay garrison, which was composed of 2,500 Black Flags, has been reinforced by 3,500 Chinese auxiliaries, who were per- mitted to enter Tonquin under the disguise of deserters.

‘The New York Herald's London despatch says that Mahomet Ahmed El Medhi is the hero of the week. Public opinion has not been so deeply stirred since the defeat at Candahar, Everybody now awaits the decision of the Government. Some Liber- als are trying to shuffle out of the difficulty. They say the Cabinet disapproved of the expedition and forbade cfficers of the Quoen’s service from taking commissions under Hicks Pacha. Sir Edward Malet re- fused to serve as the medium of commntni- cation for Hicks Pacha’s despatches. The Egyptian Government acted on its own re- sponsibility and thé Times of Saturday morning says: ‘‘In thus disregarding repre sentation of the British authorities and wishes of the people, the Khedive’s admin- istration has shown the inveterate faults of Oriental rulers and has brought on the country the precise culamities by which they are usnally punished. it is unlikely, however, that Mr. Gladstone will leave the Egyptians to ‘‘stew in their own gravy.”

Edmuud O'Donovan, the famous war cor- respondent of the Neics, who perished with Hicks Pasha’s command, had premonitions of the dreadful fate in store for the Egyp- tian army. Writing to a personal friend he eaid: “ZL am writing almost as near death as it is possible to be, without being under septence of execution. However, to die, even here, with a lance head as big as a shovel through me, will meet my views better than a slow sinking into the grave. We are 1.500 miles south of Cairo in the midst of a wild unexplored country. . The Egyptians with whom [ am camped on the banks of the Nile will have but one chance, one tremendous pitched battle. The enemy is as [courageous and fierce as Zulus, and much betterarmed. Our army is that which ran before a handful of British troops at Tel el Kebir. We are obliged to march in a square, with our baggage and water camels, 5,000 in number, in the midst, lest the enemy's cavalry should surprise us. We only march ten miles a day, After twelye o’clock the heat is frightful, It takes four days from one set of wells to another. Then we find wells filled with stones or earth, and rotting bodies of men and camels. Then we go back again with the enemy hanging on cur flank and watching every opportunity to makea dash. Iam pretty well accustomed to dangers, yet I feel how terrible it is to face a deadly peril in the company of cravens.”
