The whole line of railway, comprising ninety-eighth miles of main line and two miles of siding, will be opened by the first of July next. This one hundred miles of road will cost $24,000 per mile, or $2,400,- 000; the contract price for the bridge is $500,000; sc that in round numbers, the road will cost abuut $3,000,000. For forty miles the railroad skirts the Bras d’Or lakes, infull view of the most attractive scenery in these provinces.

LY EXAM

| Archbishop

Archbishop O'Brien has issued A pastoral, accompanied by an allocution ae the Pope. The pastoral was read in the Roman Catholic churches of Halifax on Sunday last, as follows :—

DearLy BeLoven,—Whilst our hely church has many reasons for rejoicing in her con- tinual expansion throughout the world, in the harvest of souls daily gathered into her fold, and in the ever-increasing intelligence and love of her true children, as well as in the diffusion of the highest and best form of education within her pale, she has, neverthe less, many causes for sorrow and regret. The faith of which she is the custodian and ex- pounder is preserved intact and undefiled, snd, despite the hostility of a perverse gener- ation, and the endless confusion of clashing sects that are gradually giving up such truths lof Revelation as their fathers held, her voice | is heard proclaiming God's eternal message to But the sad thing is, not that faith is } not having its conquests, for it certainly is, but that unbelief is making such headway | unongst professing Christians.

men

WE HAVE THE MELANCHOLY SPECTACLE f men pretending to be Christians, and yet denying the first principles of Christianity; of men straining at some gnat of harmiess pastime, and swallowing a camel of secret and gross dishonesty; of men whose highest conception of religion appears to be defamation, and, it is to be feared, wilful cat- umny of God's own church. How disagree- ably they remind one of those chief priests and scribes who passed by the cross on Cal- vary ‘“‘wagging their heads” and blaspbeming the dying Saviour. Then we have men who are ignorant of the very a!phabet of Christi- anity presuming to teach it; men who know sbsolately nothing of the church’s history villifying it; men whose only heroes are rebels to the chureh, how b'ack soever be their souls. Unrestrained license is defended as if it were rational siberty; immorality is overlooked or condoned, provided only that true faith has been abjured; low mediocrity of talent is ex- alted as supereminent wisdom if it has un- sparingly vilified religion. Would that this were an overdrawn picture. But, dearly be- loved, anyone who attentively considers the events of everyday life, and glances at THE CURRENT LITERATURE OF THE TIMES. will realize how sadly true it is. A few months ago a statue was erected ia Rome to sn individual forgotten for nearly three cen- uries. The evident aim and object of the silly as well as impious promoters of the work was to insu't the Pope, and to outrage ‘eligion. The man to whose memory the statue was raised had neither great talents nor virtue, nor had he done anything for the good of his country or people. One fact is sufficient to show the nature of the man. He wrote a play; this was to be performed during the festivities incident on the dedication of the statue. But so grossly immoral was it that the public censor had to prohibit all young persons from attending; and if any wo- man attended they should be veiled! After that we need scarcely refer to his so-called philosophy, full of vulgar errors, and not free from paotheism and materialism This was the manner of man to whom the honor of a public statue was given; and this was the inanner of man that newspapers and maga- zines, aye, and teachers of morality, lauded and praised. What redeemed him in their eyes? His rebellion against the Church, his apostacy, his advocacy of unrestrained license. Many, it is true, joined in the chorus of praise who knew not the blackness of his guiit. Yet in this they are not inexcusable They should not have taken for granted that he whom the enemies of the church honor is deserving of p' aise. REBELLION AGAINST RELIGION

is no guarantee of iutellectual, or civic, or moral worth. And yet, what quality, save this, do we find in the majority of the world’s heroes. How applicable are the words of Holy Scripture which our Saviour ouce ad- dressed to those of His time: ‘‘ For the heart of this people is grown gross ; and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut. [Matt. xiii, 15.) Yes, they have shut their eyes to the facts of his- tery, or only opened them to read distorted versions of the aets and motives of those whom they had condemned in advance. In that sil.iness uf intellect which is born of pride and superficial knowledge, they try public men and the civic policy of past centuries by the laws and civil procedure of to-day, and con- demn whatever is not in keeping with these latter. They shut their eyes, too, to the fact that

inst

UNRESTRAINED LICENSE WILL SOON DESTROY TRUE LIBERTY, and that the moral leper is a more dangerous foe to society than the midnight assassin. And ‘their eyes have they shut” to the invin- cible conclusion that Revelation must be ac- cepted as it came from God,—in all its full- ness, not piecemeal at the whimof each one, but in its totality; with all its restrictions of the sensual! appetites, as well as with its rich dower ot lofty privileges and glorious pro- mises. Do you, dearly beloved brethren of the clergy. not only read the accompanying allocution of our holy father, but from time to time by suitable discourses impress upon your ple the enormity and tendency of the out- rage of which it treats, and their obligation of avoiding all secret societies, of guarding sacredly the treasure of true faith in them- selves, and of handing it down to their child- ren, and of asserting and defending the rights and liberties of the Roman Pontiff.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. * Law and Lawyers.”

Sir,—Your correspondent ‘tA Method- ist Lawyer” seems to have placed the cap on his head and finds it a perfect fit, else why should he get in such a frenzy over Rev. Mr. Brewer's moderate utterance? The allusion was made on account of a cer- tain lawyer being spoken of in Scripture, and it was shown that certain lawyers at the present day, in order to benefit their clients, will annoy and abuse witnesses if by so doing an advantage can be gained. We know that honest men dread to placed on the witness stand on account of the liberties taken even by ** the limbs ”’ of the law. There is not that British fairplay in our courts of Justice we would wish to see. The legal profession are allowed to browbeat, insult and intimidate all with whom they come in contact. It is to be regretted that it is so; but facts are stubborn things. It is amusing to see your correspondent posing as a Methodist — there may be; and probably are, consistem Christian lawyers—but I fear it is the ex- ception and not the rule. A few truthful and honest strictures such as Mr. Brewer's must do good,

The Quebec Disaster.

Captain Brenan, of Souris Battery, who was in Quebec attending a special course of instruction at the time of the disastrous rock slide, says that one would require to be present at the scene of the calamity in order to fully realize the dreadful fate which befel so many on that fatal night.

On the evening of the disaster, as the officers in the barracks were going to din- ner, a telephone message came saying that some of the rock below Dufferin Terrace had fallen and families were buried under it. Col. Montezambert promptly ordered all hands out, and sixty men, under com- mond of Major Wilson, at once marched off to the scene of the disaster. The fire- men had succeeded in getting the fire out before the Major and his men arrived. The first that were rescued from the debris were two women who were unhurt though almost terrified to death. Capt. Brenan assisted next in getting Mr. B— out from under a rock where he was caught. The wounded man, besides receiving other in- juries, was considerably burned on the shoulders and sides. He was placed upon a stretcher and carried to the hospital where he has since recovered. Between this time and one o'clock in the morning 14 or 15 were taken out alive. More were tuken out alive next day. The dead were carried to the river police station which is quite near by. One of the bodies, that of Miss Welsh, was found in an almost up- right position, her feet being caught be- tween two huge rocks which held them aa if in a vice. Five days after the catastrophe an cld man named Kemp was taken out conscious, but died shortly after. A cat seen running in and out of a small opening between two rocks led to his discovery. Captain Brenan adds that the most touch- ing sight he witnessed was that of a num- ber of dead children lying side by side at the dead house. At St. Patrick’s Church, which he attended the next Sunday, there were twanty-two caskets in the church, containing bodies of those killed by the disaster, and seventeen hearses were in waiting outside the church.
