The Brand of Cain.

THackery gives us a most uncomforting sense of insincerity when he says: ‘‘ How many plain unvarnished faces of men do we look at unknowing of murder behind those eyes.” And yet his language is jus- | tifiable. Im Ireland murder at present is

common enough, but the discovery of the ‘assassins is rare, and = shews | something of culpable inetliciency 00 | the part of the police. Up to the

present time, although a reward of | $100,000 is offered, the murderevs of Lord | Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burse are | still at large, probably mingling more or | less im respectable circles, doing business with the utmost sauvity, and perhaps un wittingly reckoned among the leading lights of their church congregations. The thought is not a very happy one, but itis none the less true that many murderers escape the just penalty of their crimes. The police sometimes penetrate the mys tery. and the materials for conviction are abandavt and convincing ; yet the perpe trators stand the ordeal.piead ‘‘not guilty, and find themselves ence more mingling unconcernedly with the crowd on the street.

Why isit so difficnlt to capture these mea? Other criminals are bunted down after long chases. Why are the police, on this particular one, sv often unsuccessful ! Experience seems to prove that unless the murderer is taken red handed, the chances are that he will elude detection. To be successful, detection must follow crime with great swiftness. Another cause of escape is the kind-hearted sentimentality of the jurymen, who unwilling to accept the responsibility of the terrible conviction, anxiously look for every little flaw in the chain of evidence. To these enlightened upholders of the liberty of the subject the world is indebted fur the presence of many a blood stained wretch.

In the adjoining Republic, the scandal of so many murderers escaping the ends of justice is a serious one. Every State sup plies a contingent to swell this dreadful, though happily, not numerous army. Every County in England can supply its tale of horror and mystery, and some of the towns there have gained an unenviable notoriety in this respect. The small town of Slough has two mysteries of its own, both recent ones, the most terrible being that of Mrs. Revill, who, on April 11, was murdered by having her head barbarously split open with a chopper, as she silently sat in her chair. Slough is now earnest abont changing its name. London lost three murderers last year, not counting the per- petrators of some of the grim secrets which the river Thames keeps with such tenacity. Paris gives a larger per centage of escaped murderers than London; and Russia sup- plies, in the persons of Nihilist assassins, a great number of blood-stained crea- tures.

Oace more the unpleasant question forces itself upon us,—where are these men, and with whom are they living? What a ter- rible burden the brand must be to them- selves. ‘*‘ Behind the eyes” of the mur- derer the burning spark must ever irritate and present tothe mind the memorial of cuteast destiny.

British Prowess.

The Russian papers have been twitting the English sailors for their inactivity dur ing the riots in Alexandria, Some of them boldly say that England's naval and military prestige is on the wane, but, in saying so, they pay a compliment to traditional British valor. Long ago, Englishmen, whether soldiers or sailors, fought against “fearful odds’ and generally got the best of their foes. But the recent improvement in arms of precision allows no difference to be made between brave men and cowards. Good weapons of the modern kind are just as effectual in the hands of savages, or semi-savages, as in those of civilized men. Evidence of this fact was afforded by the engagements with the Zuius and the Boers, when Englishmen were beaten by enemies whom they would formerly have despised. Since then they are a little nervous, and do not care to fight unless they are ‘‘equal in numbers with savage foes, and superior in numbers to civilized foes."’ Ten years ago adds this writer, the Admiral at Alexandria would have landed a force, were it only of 500 men, and have heroically attacked the rioters, in all probability, with success. Instead of that *‘ the fleet calmly watched the massacre of the people it was sent to protect and achieved a glorious victory of pradence.” Surely a journalist, even at St. Petersburg, might have known that the Admiral simply obeyed orders in not interfering. The truth is that both he and his men have been chafing with impatience against the absurd policy which command them to ‘‘demonstrate,”’ that is to show themselves, but prohibited them from striking a blow, no matter what the pro vocation. It speaks well for British discipline that such orders were obeyed to the Eaier, notwithstanding the false im-

ression which such obedience makes on oc What has since occurred will probably cause the Russian writer to modify his opinions. — Moutreal Gazette.

An English astronomer has recently stated that, while the day is gradually lengthening through lunar action on tides, the earth re. acts on the moon and drives it away further and further. Looking backward, hs says, the moor must have been nearer and nearer the earth, and, inderd, at one epoch in the re- mote ages of the past the two bodies must have been very close together. Then the day was but three hours long, instead of twenty- four. At that distant period the earth rota- ted once every three hours, and the moon revolved with it in the same time So near was the moon to the earth in those ages, says the writer, that if there had beea oceans then asthere are now, the tides must have been 216 times as great as now, and rising to an immense height, would have swept over all England.

The cultivatian of silk is being entered upon in the Southern States. The land is cheaper, rovisions are cheaper, the wo-king +teason is onger, and negro labour in the South is not dearer than labour in France. It is a mod- erate estimate that four or five years after the planting of a mulberry plantation, with ordin sry care and labour, a net profit of $250 to $400 can be made per acre in silk culture. is a direct result of the development of ailk ‘manufactures, and illustrates how the creation of a single industry under protection may lead to the establishment of others.

The Scott Act.

To the Editor of the Examiner,

Dear Sir,-—-When the Privy Ceuncil, the highest Court of Appea) in the British Empire, yave its decision in sustaining the above Act, it was fondly hoped by many that the liquor sellers throughout the Island would close up at once. For some time previous, temperan € men had suspended active operations-- they were willing to wait the issue of the appeals that the Jiquor interest had taken agast the Act— while, in the meantime, those engaged in the traffic were reaping a rich harvest.

Now that the ‘‘ Rawmies’’ have done their best—or rather their worst—to defeat the law, and have been utterly defeated them selves,——it is surely time for temperance meu to make use of the victory they have gained. They may rest assured that the liquor sellers wili not abandon the illicit traffic, even now, till forced to do so by the strong arm of the law.

It is pretty evident that, as a final resort, it is their fixed determination to treat both the law and temperance people with defiance and contempt. Ofcourse thisis just what is to be expected from those in the traflic, and we are rather glad that they are showing themselves in their true character. To say noth ng of Prince and King’s Counties, o even Charlottetown, in d.ffsrent parts of thi» County, such as Bradalbane, County Line and Mouut Stewart, liquor is sold as openly as if the Scott Act had been set aside instead of sustained.

Now in this County as well as the others there is a paid official, whese duty it i8 to prosecute violators of the Temperance Act; and I should like to know what he has been doing for the public since the decision of the Privy Council was given. Has he been instru mental in closing a single ‘‘shanty” either in town or country ?

‘Temperance men, at length, know how firm their ground is, and they will not be tritled with, either by rum _ seller or inspector They know also that there is perfect unity | amovg all good men of every creed and party, | and especially among the clergy —Catholic and | Protestant--on this question, The law must be carried out. They are piepared to contend for this to the utmost, and will not be de- terred either by the threats of ‘‘rummics” or excuses of officials.

Yours, etc., WATCHMAN,

Queen’s Co., July 15, 1882.

A Grit Lie Nailed.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—Readers of the Patriot and New Era are coolly informed that Dr. Robertson has been returned to the House of Commons. This bit of information is evidently intended to operate in the Grit interest, in the event of an election in the Murray Harbor Districs. Judgivg by the vote cast in the late Dominion contest, the Grits have little to expect in that section ; as Mr. McDonald and Muttart beat Kobertson cearly two to one in his own District, where the electors had the best opportunity of koowing their man. If the great bulk c«f the electors of that District were left to consult their own wishes and interests, we believe the Hon. Mr. Prowse whuld be elected by ciation. Bat no! doubt outside political intriguers and wire-} puliers will do their utmost to secure a cafididate to run in the opposition sid», In fact 1 have learned that a played out Grit politician in the vicinity of Charlottetown has already written to one of the local lights acquainting him with the fact that if Murray Harbor happens to be short of men on the Grit ticket, any number can be supplied from this City at shortest notice.

Now, be it known to all Grits, both in Murray Harbor and elsewhere, that Dr. Rober'son has not been declared elegted to the Dominion House of Commons. The Sheriff of King’s County has not abandoned the ground taken by him on DeclarationDay. His return, including special facts. has been forwarded to the clerk of the Crown in Chancery, and al- though no decision in the case has yet been reached, I hold to the opinion, and in this opinien I am borne out by the highest legal authority in the land—that Dr. Robertson 1s disqualified and consequently cannot take his reat in the Dominion House of Commons.

To some it may seem rather hard that the ambitious Dr. Robertson should be deprived of a seat both in the Local and Dominion Par- liament but neither his /ate constituents, nor the great body politic in general, are likely to suffer loss on that account; and besides, he bas himself, and himself alone, to blame. He wasn’t as cautious and prescient as his prototype Perry, else he might now, with the battle over, quietly sit down in his sanctum sanctorum, and ont of a full heart, indite a gushing letter of thanks ‘‘to the free and *ndependent electors of King’s County who voted for me’; and then smiling set to work to put his hoase in order, preparatory to taking his seat jn the Local House.

Alas, how uncertain are all things here below. Dr. Robertson's experience is but the old story over again: A certain animal was one day crossing a river with a piece of meat in his mouth, seeing the shadow of the meat in the water, he let go the meat, sprang at the shadow, and in doing so—lost the booty,

The Asylum Matter.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Str,—Why doesn't some gentle friend of Dr. Jenkins give him a broad hint about his ungentlemanly personal attacks. Cen- cerning the main question I have nothing to say; but the general feeling is that Dr. Jenkins is doing himself ao good in the eyes of his friends, and is most decidedly causing a strong feeling of sympathy towards the gen- tleman he so persistently attacks.

Yours, ete., CONSERVATIVE.

The Belleville Intelligencer says: A care- ful and accurate summing up of the returns of the general election shows that, although the Government's majority in the House of Commons will be slightly reduced, they have a stronger majority than they had four years ago of the popular vote. A comparison of the losses and gains, from which only the returns of two or three of the Quebec constituencies are lacking, shows as follows:

Conservative gains... .......22.814 Oppesition gains....+..++++++«+16,609

Net Conservative gain... 6,205

The Presbytery at Hast St. Peter's.

Av the meeting of the Presbytery st East St. Peter's there were present, the Revs. Kenneth McLennan, James Allan, W. P. Archibald, J. M. McLeod, Wm. Grant, W. R. Frame, J. G. Camneror, D. C, Gaunt,

together with the ruling elders, Mess. | ‘ CY Kimble Coffin, Lestock Anderson, and Donala | I | ‘

Beaton. The answers elicited, showed a chr stian Zeal and faithfulness in the work committed to the charge of the respective workers, and the Presbytery particularly re joiced in the success of Mr. Gunn in brirging the young into full communion with the Church, The Presbytery expressed much sympathy with the managers in thei» financial d flieuities, and expressed a hope that the pecuniary cbligations Would be cheerfully and promptly paid, bidding the congregation to remember their duties towards the whole charch in suitably sustaining their particular | branch. Western St. Peter's was visited in | the afternoon, and Mr. A. B. McLeod del ver- | ed the sermon, Here, too, the Presbytery recorded their approbation of the work anil suceéss of Mr. Frame’s pastorate. More dili sence aud activity in the conducting of con- uregational meetings were recomended, and the liberality of the church members was justly commended. The Presbytery expressed tself highly pleased at, and thankful for, the work done in this portion of the Master’s Vineyard,

wr. A. B. McLeod was examined in Theology and Exegesis, and was licensed to preach the Gospel. Rev. Charles Fraser re- sigued his charge at West Cape, Campbelton and Brae. A minute of the General Assembly concerning the Lawson case was allowed to lie on the table till next meeting.

Crops in the United States promise to prove larger than anticipated. The corn crop 1s somewhat uncertain. That it will not bea full crop in the region represented by Illinois is pretty clear, but it will be much better than was at one time feared even in thet re- gion, while in the south and south-west the acreage is largel increased, and the yield is up to the average. The wheat cro will be a very large one, and may very reac ily be the largest that has ever been known. The same judgment is safe as regards the cotton crop.

| Not oaly will the Republic enjoy large crops,

but also good prices. —
