Nuisances. —-— Crtizens should not forget that the Act passed last session “to regulate

certain nuisances in the City of Char lottetown” will be in force aud operation on Sunday next, the Ist day of June. On and after that date, the privies which have been used, must, accordiog to the law, all be closed, and dry earth closets used instead; and no cess-pool, ash-pit, manure-pit, or other such receptacles are to be of a greater depth than two feet below the surface of the ground.

The penalty for a violation of the law is a fine of thirty dollars. For this sum, the required changes can, in most cases, be made; and thereis yet time to have them made betore the law can be ea forced.

The law is for the general good; and though complying with it will give householders a little expeuse and trouble, we hope the most searching vigilaoce of the proper officers will not be rewarded by the discovery of a single offender.

The law provides that the City Coun- cil shall have power to “grant, lease, or sell for a term of years the exclusive right to remove aud take out of the city, all night soil, manure, ashes or refuse, upon such terms and conditions as they shall deem advisable.” We hope the City Council will, on their part, lose no time in taking steps towards such an arrangement as is here provided for.

The Opposition and their Leader.

Her Majesty’s Opposition are evident- ly in a state of suspense and anxiety not unmixed with remorse about their Lead- er. For the sake of having Mr. Blake to lead them, they turn traitor to Mr. Mc- Kenzie, and broke his heart. Mr. Blake has proved a magnificent failure; and now they don’t know what to do about it. A meeting at which the question will be discussed, is, we learn, to be held in Toronto in the course of a few months.

Our Squares and Streets.

Messrs. Toomas McKryuay and Arthur Newbery are superintending the laying off of Queen Square, so that citizens may have the most direct foot-paths to the public buildings, and, also, with a view to the protection of the trees planted, and the culture of flowers. Ladies or gentlemen who may desire to have on the Square a plot for flowers, are requested to make the desire known to Mr. McKinlay or to Mr. Newbery; and persons who may have clean ashes or some nicely rotted manure to dispose of will have them carted away to the Square if they will but. Jet either of these gentlemen know.

The ladies of St, Joseph’s School have planted several ornamental trees on the street, in front of their Convent, and alto- gether their establishment on Pownal street is a model of taste, neatness and cleanli- ness. The old ruin next door to them must be an eye-sore to the ladies.

The oid carriage-way on Rochford Square should be so obstructed that drivers may be compelled to drive in the streete—which are broad enough. Who wili see to this? The Arbor Society } or their Special Com- mittee / or the Chairman of Streets? or the City Surveyor ?

MENTAL 'NSULARITY,

Ir bas beea remarked that, of all peoples, those who dwell on islands are most fiercely proud and independent. This fact has been illustrated in all ages, from the time when the Greek islands sent their small but haughty armies to fight at Troy, to the present day when another wee island sends its little contingent to sit at Ottawa, Islanders are naturally proud; and Prince Edward Islanders are ne exceptions to the rule. But there are different kinds of pride. There is pride of birth—Prince Edward Islanders cannot, of course, be guilty of that ; there is also pride of purse —obviously they must be quite innocent of that ; then there is pride of intellect—but 1 am quite sure no one will accuse them of that. But besides these varieties, there is also a general pride, which consists in being proud of oneself, proud of one’s powers, proud of one’s peculiarities, proud of one’s weaknesses, and proud of one’s very fauits. This kind of pride is, by harsh critics, called conceit; but I shrink from using so strong a term. But whatever name we give it, the Islanders excel in it. They are immensely proud of their Island, and, though one may scarcely credit it,” still more proud of themselves.

Of all feelings implanted in the human breast, one of the noblest is patriotism. But even patrictism may be exaggerated; and the natives of this colony make u ridiculous. It is a fine thing to honor one’s country: but honor should be dealt out in some proportion to desert. In reality the Islanders have only two. things of which they can boast, and these are the fresh air and the ealt water;in all other respects they are not enly behind the aye, but shamelessly so. And yet, if a stranger ventures to hint that theyare not perfect, be 1s at once cried down as abusive, discourteous, and untruthful. The Isianders have no idea of what the world is abroad, and have not the remotest conception of how a stranger feels himself let down with a jerk in coming here. It is difficult for the natives to realize how small they and their island are in the eyes of even the other Canadian provinces, to say nothing of England or America.

Smallness, by itself, isno crime, That the island is little and its inhabitants few would be easily pardonable, were the natives not endowed with such pretensiousness, When- ever they geta chance, they make their voices heard ; whenever they obtain a foot- ing, they make themselves a nuisance. Their position with regard to Dominign politics illustrates this. They are always whining after something. Whatever is being done, Prince Edward Island must have a share. They always have a grievance, and are always complaining of an injury; and the majority of the people seem to think that the Parliament of Canada has nothing to de but regulate the affairs of this tiny isle: Already ‘‘ Prince Edward Island days’ are spoken of at Ottawa with some- thing between a sawn and a sneer, and are borue with that forced but wearied courtesy which is shown in obstruction times at home.

This spirit of obtrusiveness, of ‘‘bump- tiousness,” if I may use the word, goes far to spoil a people whom a little modesty would make endurable. Incredible as it may sound to insular ears, a stranger cannot come here, and say (as all Islanders expect him to say) that it is the most beautiful country he has ever seen, that the people are the most charming, the society the most refined, the girls the most lovely, the men the most gentlemanly that he has ever been privileged to meet. He cannot truth- fully say these things; and because he cannot, the natives at once begin to abuse | him in that queer but strong vernacalar which they know so well how to command. Islanders always dislike strangers; and this is the strongest evidence of inborn narrow- ness of mind. Bat their intellects are capable of being broadened ; and as humil- ity is said to be the first step to learning, I would advise the natives, in general, not to think so much of themselves, to cultivate the sense of smallness, and to try to realize how much lower they stand in the world’s estimation than they do in their own.

The Tree-planting. ‘* When Adam delved, and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman?”

Sir,—In perusing your very appropriate comments upon the ‘‘tree-planting,” I was gratified to find that you had not followed in the wake of your contemporary, the Patriot, who, not content with publishing a list of the persons engaged in tree-plant- ing, gives additional information as to the “gentlemen” whom he had witnessed con- descending to the same occupation, Now, before questioning the propriety of this measure, 1 would ask why the first gentle- man in the Provinee, eur unobtrusive, yet withal dignified Governor, should be ex- empted from that list, whilst some, possess ing smvall share éven of the world’s essen- tials of ‘“‘gentleman,” should be included. I observe, upon comparing lists, that indi- viduals classed ‘'gentlemen” have never planted trees at all, and, if contmbators to Mr. Laird’s newspaper, they ought not to be thrust forward as benefactors of the public. In omitting to mention the Gov- ernor of this Province, your contemporary has not furgotten to take special notice of the ex-Governor of the Northwest; and has even, with unbounded charity, classed amongst the select few those whom his writings would tend to exhibit as—anything but gentlemen.

It was certainly impolitic in a public ser- vant to give undue ‘prominence to partica- lar parties upon an occasion of general

effort such as that of the tree-planting ;

and I know, Sir, you will agree with me in the belief that “the horny hand of the

working man” deserved as much credit as

that of the *‘gentleman.”
