PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1878

EXAMINER.

- DECEMBER 12, 1878.

Tne DAaILy

A YEAR and a half have rolled away ; and the Damty Examiner still lives.

Indeed it may now be truly said that the Datty Examiner is one of the “ institu- tions’ of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the inereasing sales of the Dairy Examiner in_ the city, along the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the peopte could live without their daily paper.

Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Dairy Examiner, so that the popular de-

‘}mand may be supplied.

Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by’ means of the Darry Examiner, a daily telegra:n containing news of ali the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.

Through the Datmy Examiner the people of the Island shall—-from day to day—and, independently of the Northern’ Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.

We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Damry Exawyt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.

The local news shall be given through the Dairy Examiner promptly, truly and as full as possible.

For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the pcople whose wants ‘the Damy Examiner will supply,

.j and whose varied interests we shall assidu-

ously endeavor to promote.

The original subscribers of the Darmy Examiner will, in the course of a few days, be called for a renewal of their

iavors.

upon

The beginning of another term is # good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Damy Examiner would do well to subseribe now.

In connection with the Darry Exawryer the Wrekiy Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR «a year—payment to be made in advance.

A Scale-y Story

**A major” loved a maiden so, His warlike heart was soft as ‘* Do.”

He oft would kneel by her and say, ‘* You are, of light, my only ‘Re.’ °

“Ah! if but kinder you would be, And sometimes sweetly smile on ‘ Mi.’

‘* You are new life, my gui ling star, I love the near, | love the ‘ Fa.’

‘* My passion I cannot control : You are the idol of my ‘Sol.’”

The maiden said, “‘ Fie! ask papa ; How can you go on thus? Oh ‘La!’”

The major rose from bended knee, And went her father for to ‘* Si.”

The father thought no match was finer ; This *‘ major” once had been a “sninor.”’

They married soon, and after that Dweit in ten reoms all on * one flat.”

So happy ends the little tale, Kor they live on the grandest seale. ———————ae 2? eee. _

For the wsadies.

(“rom the Rome Sentinel.) scotch plaids are very stylish,

Flower trimmings have entirely given way to feathers.

Reversible fur-lined circulars are stylish for winter wear.

Sprays of flowers are embroidered on the backs of black gloves.

Crocheted petticoats of double zephyr are shown for cold weather.

Uncut velvet and plush are used for re- ception and‘evening hats.

Bridal veiis ave inade of tulle, Square, two, three and four yards wide.

Children’s winter hoisery have bands of Scotch plaid around the ankle.

Stylish reception dresses have rows of fringe on the bottom of the front breadth.

Pinked, gathered and box-plaited ruches are revived, and rauches made bias and frayed at the edge.

sonnets having shirred -brims. are a nov- elty, and will probably be quite popwar in dark velvets.

Five or six gathered flounces trim the back breadths.of detmi-trained dresses, and the overskirts are shirred upon the sides,

Children’s dresses are made in dark colors this winter. The sombreness of the colors is relieved by plaids or stripes of red.

Very simple coiffures are. in yogue “in Paris, smooth, compact bands having super- seded braids, crimps, paffs, bangs and frizzes.

Imported bonuets are made in two ex- treme shapes. One is a close cottage shape, and the other large, with flaring front, in- dented in the middle, Marie Stuart style.

Black bonnets are not used for general wear in Paris. Colored bonnets are the fa- vorite style, the color being generally chosen to match the choicest dress of the wearer.

A new and pretty fashion is to have the initial letter woven into tablecloths and napkins in red, two complete sets of Jac- quard cards being used to effect this per- fectly.

New veils of black thread net without dots are in mask shade, with the lower edge pointed in sharp vandykes, and stitched in four or five rows of colored silk to suit the prevailing color of the bonnet.

Dresses draw much more bouffant in the back as the season advances. Many cos- tumes have the front turned back in reverse and a piastron vest introduced, while be- hind is a broad panier puff, finished with a bow.

Light.

The English patent office is besieged with inventors engaged in perfecting the electric light or its accessories, and among these people are several eminent scientists. Patent rights and royalties are being stout- ly defended, and objections have been en- tered to Edison’s machine and other instru- ments, on the ground that they cover in- ventions already patented. Remarkable progress is being made towards obtaining a brilliant and easily managed electric light. The lamp, however, is one thing, and the machine for generating the current is an other. A third essential is that of the mo- tive power by which the dynamo-electric machine is to be driven. New devices, with startling changes, are being made pub- lic. Gas engines aré mainly used to drive the machine, and ‘the demand for them is so great that the orders cannot be filled without considerable’ delay. Sir William Aristrong, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, the well- known ordnance inventor, has applied ‘water power to driving dynamo-eleetric machines... The force existing in a volume

(of water has been utilized -by.the interposi-

tion of a turbine, by means of. which the requisite revolutions are given to the elee- tric machine. The current thus generated

William’s residence, . where it, is conducted through a lamp -deyised, on the. Siemer’s plan, in which the regularity of the light is maintained by clock-work. Arrangements are pending for using the electric light at one of ,the London railway stations and at

the Crystal Palace,

Almost a Scandal. (’rom the New York World.)

The Wesleyan Methodist Church in Can- ada once might have had a sort of Beecher scandal, but it didn’t. A venerable clergy- man was riding to the district conference in the Eastern ‘Townships, somewhere near Stanstead, his companion in the buggy being a young, zealous, and indiscreet min- ister, not long stationed in that part of the country. As they jogged long past a little cross-road tavern the old gentleman indi- cated it with his whip and said, ‘‘Many and many a day I’ve been at that tavern years ago.” ‘Yes,’ said his companion with in- difference. ‘‘Yes, anda mighty handsome wite the inkeeper had, too.” ‘*Ah,” said the young brother, with surprise. ‘*Yes,’ continued the elder, ‘‘she was one of the handsomest women I ever saw, young, pretty, plump, fine color, and such arms. Many and many akiss have I given her when we were sitting in a big haircloth chair in the little private sitting-room of the bar. Well, well, time flies’—and the good old man gazed at his companion, whose eyes were as large as soup plates, then blushing of a deep beet-red, he said, with some confusion: ‘‘Bless mo, what have I been saying? Of course, brother, you will not breathe a word of this ; | cax- not imagine how I came to say anything about it, but then the tongue is,” etc. The young clergyman gave the required pledge, and repeated it. when at.the end of their drive the old man besought. him earnest- ly to remember ~ and not breathe a word of the matter. °° But, “durmg the afternoon, the. young clergyman rose and declaring that his © con- science would “noy longer bear the burden he had imposed upon ‘it, and that he mast tell the truth no matter how terrible the consequences, In- formed ithe . astonished. brethren _ that Drother had that day admitted that he had been guilty of improper and un- christian conduct towards a married woman, naymore had recited -his sin with an unction which showed that it had never been sincerely repented of. It is needless to say that everybody first stared at the speaker and then at the accused minister, who for a hundred miies around had won an enviable reputation for uprightness and purity. ‘The accused buried his face in his hands, and the Chairman desired the young brother to repeat his startling accusation with details. The young clergyman did so; and when he arnounced that the other member of the ‘‘guilty pair’ was a woman whose name he did not know, but whose husband kept a tavern at Corners, was electrified to hear the Chairman bawl, “Ha! ha! ha!’ and every member of the conference got off in paroxysms of langhter. ** Can you—is it possible you can smile at such a revelation !” said the dumbfounded young minister, and as soon as the Chair- man had sufliciently mastered his emotion to speak he said, ‘* My dear young brother, before Brother——-was converted and‘ en- tered the ministry he kept that tavern ? Thereafter that young minister was no less and infinitely more discreet.

The Largest Cash Vault in the World.

The new bullion vault for the Sub-Treas- ury, corner of Nassau and Wall streets, New York, is said to be the largest of its kind in the world. It is situated in the west base- ment, immediately under the coin room, with which it is connected by an iron stair-

draulic pressure. The vault is surrounded by a granite wall seven feet thick, with an inner wall, roof and floor of iron and steel, between two and three inches thick. It is entered by two stout iron doors, each of which has two combination locks; the outer door being also guarded by a chronometer lock. bination locks opens the doors, two being used to prevent the trouble liable to occur through the derangement of a single lock. The vault is 48 feet long by 28 feet wide and 12 feet high; and is divided into sey- eral compartments by iron railings, It cost about $25,000.

Some of our contemporaries have found fault with the editor of the “Canadian Spectator,” the Rey. A. J. Bray, for using the singular personal pronoun ‘‘!” in his editorial paragraphs instead of the usual

‘‘we.” The following is Mr. Bray’s latest justification. It is a good hit at Mr. Brydges :—

“T was confirmed in my use of the modest first personal pronoun when this humble despatch appeared as a telegram from Hali- fax, reporting the movements of the Mar- quis of Lorne and. the Princess Louise :— “To Lizur.-CoL. , SzEvENnson, -—
