’Tis better that we know not now the secrets of the hidden life;

NO. VIII.
A run of-twelve miles over the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway from Vicks- burg, on the morning of May 22nd, brought me to Kalamazoo, a town on the main line
midway between Detroit and Chicago. My purpose in visiting Kalamazoo was to have a look at the richly bred trotting stock on the Kalamazoo Farm, the property of
ment is situated about two miles. outside Kalamazoo City, and it is one of the most famous of the kind in the whole country. There are several more extensive in their operations, but none where a high standard of excellence is aimed at. Kalamazoo Farm has a very high reputation in the East, extending even to this Province, and the visitor has only to look the stock over in- dividually and examine the records and pedigrees. .of same’ to ke convinced of the fact that here is a noted home of the trotter. Having given at some length my impressions of what I-saw and heard at Kalamazoo Farm to the recognized turf journal of the Province, I will content my- self with a few observations here. . The stallions inservice are Ambassador,’ 2.214, by Geo. Wilkes, dam, Lady Carr, by Am- erican Clay, 34 ; Warlock, by Belmont, dam the famous Waterwitch, and Empire, by Mambrino Patchen, dam by Alexander’s Abdallah, Anteeo, 2.16}, by Electioneer, dam, Columbine, by A. W. Richmond, was
‘Brown and another, ata cost of $16,000, and brought east to Kentuckey, where his services in the stud are 80 greatly appreciat- ed that it is not probable he will be taken north for some years. The brood mares are a grand lot, both individually and by breeding, a large number of them being in the 2.30 list. No animal is retained for breeding purposes that does not give abundant promises of being a pro- ducer of speed. The young stock are all richly bred, and their performances:on the turf in years to come will no doubt ‘add to the fame of Kalamazoo Farm. On the farm there is an excellent half-mile track, and the trainer employed this season is Mr. Peter Johnston, whose reputation is national. -
Kalamazoo City contains. about. 25,000 inhabitants. It is the prettiest place I saw on my trip. It is well laid out, and the principal streets are paved with cedar Except in the chief business:centre, the streets are planted with most beautiful trees, ensuring. an abundance of shade everywhere. The private lawns are very
neatly kept, and the sidewalks are the best
It vate residences.

of the Michigan Central Railway, about |
Messrs. S. A. Brown & Co. This establiaet
purchased in California last winter by Mr. |
I have ever seen. They are built of Port- land cement, and are smoother than stone, hard, and apparently. quite as durable. Some of them have been laid for eighteen years, and are still in a good state of pres- ; In Kalamazoo the winters are, like our own, sometimes very severe, but the Michigan frosts do not appear to affect the cement walks. The cost of leying these walks in Kalmazoo varies from fourteen to eighteen cents per square foot. Not only are they laid along the streets in that town, but the enterprize of her citizens has placed a cement foot path to the rear, as well as the front entrance of large numbers of pri- { Most of the cottages are built some distance from the street line, thus entailing the construction of a large amount of private walk to each. It is needless to say that the public as well as the private walks are kept scrupulously clean, I only wish that the people of Charlottetown were imbued with a small share of that public spirit which has made Kalamazoo one of the prettiest towns in that whole western country. Our sidewalks are a disgrace to any community, and our clay streets’ aro great heaps of dust, blown hither and thither in clouds-by every breeze of wind, to the annoyance and discomfort of every citizen who may have occasion to be abroad, and to the loss of all who have goods or chat els in store or residence. The old system is being fol- lowed one year after another, and no one in authority appears to have the courage to suggest a departure from the beaten path, the consequence being that our streets and sidewalks are going from bad to worse each year. The latter are, in many places, yeritable man-traps, dangerous to life and limb when trodden either by day or night. But I may be told that the inauguration of an improved system of making streets and sidewalks means a larger expenditure for ‘such purposes, and whence is the money to ;come? I reply deliberately, but with no ‘thought of giving offence, that were it not for the well-meaning but misguided action of a majority of voters of this city, who | persist in foisting upon our people an Act which experience has years ago demon- strated to be utterly powerless to regulate , the liquor trattic, Charlottetown might long “since be in the receipt of an annual revenue from this source sufficient to give us cement walks, paved streets and other improve- ; ments which the requirements of modern ,civilization imperatively demand. Pardon ‘the digression. Leaving Kalamazoo on the evening ot May 22nd, [reached Port Huron at 1.25 {next morning. The night was extremely cold, there being a heavy frost, which did considerable damage to the growing crops, both in Michigan and Western On- tario. At 3.25 a.m. the train left Point |Haward for the east, and I was thus en- | abled to see all that portion of Ontario 'to which IJ travelled at night on the out- ward trip. The main line of the Grand Trunk Railway traverses a grand agricul- tural country in Western Ontario, greatly surpassing the eastern section of the Pro- vince. Magnificent orchards are to be seen everywhere. The acreage under apple culture is not devoted entirely to this purpose.—grain crops are also grown on the same ground, the land being tilled close round the trees. | Limestone cliffs abound jalong the railway line, in fact.a great part of that country appears to rest on a lime- stone foundation, which crops out here and there, rendering it quite an easy matter for the farmers to obtain a supply of this fer- tilizer. West of Toronto, the only towns of note on this part of the line, were Strat- ford, Berlin and Guelph, but in passing along little more than a glimpse of these places is obtained. It was the same with Toronto, where we only had_a delay of fifteen minutes. Night closed down on us before Montreal was reached, and I had the \ill luck of passing over the greater part of jthe line between Montreal and Point Levi during the night both going out and return- ing, and the same thing occurred between ;Campbelton and Moncton. The morning of May 24th found us nearing Chaudiere, and the day being fine and clear, the mountains of Maine were plainly visible in {the distance. Snow had not yet all dis- appeared from elevated places along the line. The Governor-General and_ party {were on our train from Montreal, bound on
‘a fishing excursion to the, famous New ! Brunswick salmon resorts. The atmos- i phere being clear, | got 4 much better view \of the country on the north side of the St. Lawrence than I did when going west. I had no idea that this section of Quebec was so rugged and broken. Of course I only saw it inthe distance, but the land- ‘scape presented a wild appearance. The farmers of eastern Quebec only appeared to -have got properly under way wich their , seeding at this time. © Farming, as carried ‘on there, appears to be a poorly conducted jbusiness. I noticed when passing along, a ,single plow drawn by three horses, two of which were abreast, the third being hitch- ‘ed ahead of these. This three-cornered team was attended by three able-bodied men, one of whom drove the forward horse, :the second the other two, while the third held. the plow.
The people of Campbelton made quite a “noise over the Governor-General on the ar- rival of our train at that town on the even- ing of the 24th. The houses were ali illu- minated, and a torchlight procession, head- -ed by a band, paraded the street.
| The morning of May 25th found us at Canaan, a barren waste about twenty miles from Moncton. I hope that the Canaan of old presented a more inviting appearance to the wanderer of an- ‘eient times than. the New Brunswick Canaan does to the prospector of to-day. | In concluding these hastily _ written sketches, I may say that, between here and Dakota, inclusive, along the route over which I travelled, I saw no place which, in my opinion, rivals in point of fertility the best farming districts of this Province, and, compared with great portions of the country through which I passed, Prince Edward Island is an agricultural paradise.

Lonpon, July 30.—In the House of Com- mons to-day the royal grants bill passed its first reading without division.
Fayerrevitie, Ark., Jaly 30.—This sec- tion was visited on Sunday night by the most terrible electric and rain storm ever seen here. It lasted three hours, and du- ring that time the fearfulness and grandeur of the scene were beyond description. Lightning made the heavens so bright as to be painful and blinding to the eyes, while the reports of thunder that followed ap- peared to shake the very foundations of the earth, Many buildings were struck by lightning.
Frepericron, July 30.—The Gleaner has the following : ‘‘Hon. John Costigan is at Edmunston visiting his constituents. Our correspondent at that place writes that Sir John Macdonald and Hon. Mr. Chapleau are expected there about the last of the month, when there will be a grand Conser- vative rally. It is expected Lady Mac- donald will accompany Sir John, as the St. Francis railway will commence operations about the Ist August, and Lady Macdonald will probably turn the first sod.”
Quesec, July 30.—The Chronicle says : “‘We hear on what seems good authority that Father Labelle intends to resign his position as deputy commissioner of agricul- ture. He will return, we are informed, to his charge as cure. This will be something of a blow to Mercier in a political sense, but the department will be a gainer by the change. Father Labelle has not proved a conspicuous success as the head of the de- partment, and public opinion has long ago decided that in a purely secular position a priest is very much out of place.”
Winnipec, Man. July 30.—The full court to-day dismissed Martin Burke’s ap- peal from the order of commitment made by Judge Bain. Burke therefore goes back to Chicago as soon as the department of justice issues the necessary extradition order.
Pirrssure, Pa., July 30.—A strike of coke workers involving 25,000 men, is im- minent.
Sr. Pererspure, July 30.—The Czar de- sires that the Emperor William receive him at Potsdam. He will not visit Berlin for reasons of personal safety. He will be able to keep the public at a greater dis- tance at Potsdam than at the capital. For the same reason he has also altered his route. He will arrive in his yacht at Set- tin and go by rail to Potsdam. )
Parrerson, N. J., July 30.—English capitalists are said to be making effurts to obtain control of the various locomotive works and silk factories here in addition to the brewing interests already secured. It is reported that a syndicate of American capitalists has been formed for the estab- lishment of a brewery in opposition to the English brewery syndicate.
BrussEts, July 30.—The Congo Railway Co. will be regularly constituted here on Wednesday. Of the proposed capital of 25,000,000 francs the Belgian state has subscribed 10,000,000, and the founders 5,009,000. Public subscriptions will soon be opened at Brussels, London and Berlin for 10,000,000 francs.
Toronto, July 30.—An Ottawa despatch says that Adam Brown, M. P. for Hamil- ton, and Mr. Parmalee, of the Customs Department, will accompany Hon. Mr. Abbott on his Mission to Australia. Toronto, July 30.—In an interview Goldwin Smith gives the impression he derived from the recent conversations with Senator Hill, President Harrison and other prominent American politicians on the sub- ject of trade relations between the United States and Canada. Summing up, he says, “there seems to be no ground for supposing that any unfavorable change has recently taken place in the attitude of Americans towards the extension of trade relations, and I would expect all who take an interest in the subject patiently to await the meet- ing of Congress and the authrative declar- ation of the policy of the American govern- ment.”
