‘A short journey to Point du Chene brings the party within the cordial grasp of a delegation of hearty Prince Edward Islanders headed by “ Lawson the Sinner ” and ‘‘ Lawson the Saint,’ the former being the genial editor of the Charlottetown Patriot and the latter a Presbyterian min- ister editing the Preshyterii, a weekly paper published in the same town Here we meet Mr. McKechnia, Superintendent of the Island Railway, a capital railway official, formerly on the Midland and Grand Trunk. We go on board the fine steamer ‘St. Lawrence.” one of two vessels owned by the Prince Edward Island Navigation Commodore Hales is the President. Mr. Hales is a whole-souled old fellow, and givegthe party a right royal welcome. ‘The boat is spacious and admirably equipped, and the five hours sail by water, after the long railway jour- ney, isa most acceptable change and is enjoyed by all, Whe day is exceedingly fine, the sea—or rather strait—is as smmoth as glass; there is not a single case of mal de mer,—on the contrary all participate to the fullest extent in the sumptuous dinner table spread out by our hospital Commodore,

ON PRINCE EDWALD ISLAND,

Summerside is reached about six o’clock, and the party stroll through the town. It is a quaint old place, evidently prosperous, but without the abundant signs of life and energy that mark our western towns. The party go by a little steamer to Mr. Hol- man’s Island Park Hotel, on a beautiful island a couple of hundred yards off the shore. Here has been constructed a spax cious summer resort, one of the finest and most pleasant along these shores. It stands in & grove, through which are thady walks and drives, and there is a capital beach for sea~bathing, which is, of course, at once indulged in, The party is here entertain. ed ata bountiful and well ed din. ner, provided byithe press amd citizens of Summerside.

Mr. Pattullo is called upon to reply for John A, and ac- quits himself capitally. ‘: Up in the morns ing early” and away by aspecial train to Hunter River station where carriages are taken for Rustico, famed for its fine sandy beach and its seasbathing. The railway is a narrow-guage, like the Nipissing, and the cars are handsomely upholstered. The drive for nine miles and back is one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole ex. cursion. The Island is a perfect garden— itis the gem of the Dominion, and will charm and delight all who visit it. The bright veadure, the gentle rolling fields, cleared of stumps, the rows of trees in many places growing like hedges, strongly resembled south of England scenery. The Jand is wonderfully fertile naturally, or is made so by the application of a rich muck taken from the numerous ocean inlets, and of which there are inexhaustible quanti- ties. The afternoon at Rustico is devoted to sea.bathing and other sports entered into with abandon by all. <A subsiantial dinner is served by Mr. Newson, whose well,kept hotel is evidently a favorite res sort for those who desire to spend a few weeks pleasantly and get the benefit of seaxbathing. The enjoyment of the occa- sion is heightened by a few felicitous words of welcome by the Hon. Mr. Brecken, ex- AttorneysGeneral, who is one of the best speakers on the Island, and who is to make his voice heard at Ottawa ere long, according to popular report, We reach the train in good time, and away to Char- lottetown as the ‘shades of evening are falling fast,’ and after a hurried walk through the provincial building we get to our hotels and to bed, in order to have a good rest so that on the morrow we may carry out to the letter the injunction of oor humorous Secretary—-* behave your- selves and go to church.”’ How this was done and all subsequent adventures must be left for another letter.

SPECULATION IN OATS...

About the most disastrous speculation growing out of the European war was that in oats. About three months ago a clique inNew York purchased 750,000 bushels and on the first month succeeding the speculation, prices declined on an averace of oc. on the bushel, and in the second month the decline averaged I lc. per bus shel. In July the prospecis of an abund- ant harvest, stil! further depressed the market, and the past two months’ sales will average a loss of nearly 20c. a bushel: Nor is the bottom apparently yet reached, and with a fine new

rop, the old that is left over must sell at a mark. d discount to move them. This makes an ay rage loss of 15 cenis per bu-hel the four months as follows : 750.000 bushels at 15

cents ; loss $172,500. To thisadd stor ize, interest, and insurance, and it will foot up toa much larger sum. ‘This should be'’a salutary lesson to speculators, —Qvelic Chronicle. .

MI. MACKENZIE AND THE M ARI. TIME PROVINCES,

(from the Montreal Gazcite,)

The people of the Maritime Provinces have not forgotten the career of Mr. Mac kenzie and his party from the dat Confederation down to the time an accident, he was called upon to form an administration. They remember that the proclamation uniting th, Provinces had iardly been issued when the Grit party of Untarlo commenced their «c, lional agitas tion. Recognizing the importance of the Province of Ontario—and ce; tainly no one could doubt it—feeling that irom it must largely go out the active political contro. versy which would govern the politics of the Dominion, the \Grits commenced their attacks upon the Maritime Provinces and upon the Conservative Government ag pandering too much to those Provinces, the rearrangement of the financial basis of union was denounced as a bribe to Nova Scotia. The arrangements with Brunswick, arising out of the Washin Treaty, were denounced as a bribe to that Province, ‘The terms with Prince Edward Island, on its entrance into the were described as extravagant and mons. trous. And allthis in a wretched BeCs tional spirit designed to array Ontario against these Maritime Provinces, Since he accepted office, Mr. Mackenzie has. it is true, preaohed a different Z0spel, but the people by the sea are not to be thus deceived. Mr. Mackenzie is to be judged by bis conduct in opposition as weil as in the Government. For six years he pres sented himself as a bitter unrelenting enemy of the smaller Provinces, and they have not forgotten those years. He is paying the penalty of former want of
