This window was made in Mon- treal, and must have cost a great deal. The roof struck us as being peculiarly beautiful. It is supported by graceful pillars, and is groined and fretted. There isa small gal- lery or organ loft at the west end of the building, which, though necessary, does not by any means add to the beauty of the interior, and two twardy images on the east end are singularly out of keeping with its chaste beauty. The altar is ot white and gold. The seats are simple in design, and of excellent material: They are open, made of ash, faced with black walnut, and of course unpainted, The architect is Mr. John Corbett. It is, we are informed, owing principally to the energy and ability of the Rev. P. Doyle that the Church is in the forward state in which it is at present. — Patriot,

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM AT WASHINGTON. Wasmnorton, D. C., June 12, 1876, On Saturday, Dr. P. O. Hooper of Little Rock, who is deputed by the State of Ars kansas to examine insane asylums, prepar- atory to erecting one in that State, propos~ ed to me to visit the asylum on Sunday. So much has been said on the subject of the treatment of the patients there, that [“readily consented. Soon Sunday morning in company with Dr. Hooper and Dr. Roscoe | G. Jennings, I went to the asylum. We sent | our cards to Dr. Nicheols, and were soon | joined by that gentleman, and by him and two of his assistants, Drs. Chase and Morrell, | were shown over the entire building. We visited every ward, looked into the beds | rooms, dining rooms, everywhere, in fact, /and | cordially endorse what one of the | witnesses testified before the Committee, | and that is: that “there is no more cleanly private house in the city than the Asylum.” One thing struck me as very singular, nearly all the patients recognised Dr. Nicheols, and called him by name. I said, “ Doctor, how is this, one of the witnesses

i

onee or twice @ month,’ and yet the pati- ents all know you?’ The Doctor said he saw them all every day, One patient stop- ped us to complain to the Doctor that all the windows were down,and as it was sum-~ mer weather they were all stifling for want of fresh air, Yet every window was up, and the fan that drives cool air into every room was in full operation, and as there is a ven~ tilator in the wall of every room, through whi ‘(shis cool air is forced, I found the

%,mauch more pleasant than the ones [ oce?n,y. The food furnished is good, and there is plenty of it. It was a pitiful sight to view the wrecks of men and women, seven hundred and fiftysthree confined here, from whom the light of reason has fled, in most cases forever. Some of the patients are violent, but we saw only one who was confined, and he was fastened to a seat in one of the corridors, it being neces sary to retain him to prevent self-destrucs tion. One or two of the females had on an improved straight jacket, but generally speaking, they wandered freely about the the corriders closely watched, however, by the attendants. My impressions about the asylum are that it isa marvel of neatness, and managed with rare executive ability. Dr. Nichols has been in charge of it since it was built,and I feel sure that he is one instance of the right man in the right place. Such was also the opinion of the two gent~ lemen who accompanied me. There are now 763 patients in the asylum which over. crowds it. One attendant is required for every ten patients, and the cooks, laborers, watchmen, laundry and farm hands, in-~ crease the number of suuls, sane and Ins sane, under Dr, Nichols’ charge to about one thousand. The cost for each patient last year, was one hundred end seventy- six dollars, the total amount expended being $160,460, of this sum the United States paid $140,000, the remainder being received from pay patients, and sales of material.

But I have said enough of this body of the insane, and will now speak of the luna~ tics now assembled at Cincinnati. All the interest of the country is centred there for the present, and I doubtif there is more than a quorum in either ends of the Tower Babble. But Hogspolis is a seething,swarm-~ ing hive of politicians, The gin millers there must be doing a thriving business, and many a fellow who hopes to get “a place” under the next President, is there talking himself hoarse in praising Ais favor~ ite (the man who promises him “ the place.) ‘‘ He only can be elected, and the salvation of the party and the country depends upon his being chosen.”’ So they allsay. A few days will tell us who the republicans have selected as the countries savior, and then for the Democratic cham- pion.

Great excitement was created here on Sunday by the report that Mr. Blaine had fallen at church in an apoplectic fit, or sun stroke, It was found to be true, and hundreds went to his house to find that it was true that he was stricken down. Several eminent surgeons were present,and, as usual, disagreed, but finally concluded that it was sunstroke. Blaine’s life was dispaired of for hours, but at 4.30 o’clock | he became conscious,and slept well through the night. Ue is now considered out of danger.

SAXON,

ACCOMMODATION WANTED.

(By an occasional Correspondent, )

Mr. McKecayis now has an excellent op- portunity to put in practice his off expres~ sed desire to “accommodate the Island people’ in Railway matters, and “ afford them every facility ” to extend our exports and general trade, About two miles east of Breadalbane Station, and midway be- tween here and Summerside, Mr. J. Holmes has in operation the only “ Rothsay saw ”’ mill between Port Hill and Mount Stewart. He assures us that if he could have a “ sid< ing” putin, at his mill to hold three or four cars, he could export from one hun- dred thousand, to three hundred thousand feet of hardwood plank, from one to three inch, about two hundred tons square tims ber, (hardwoud), and with the increased market which he can then easily command, will work up to twelve thousand feet per day in cutting spruce boards, and will turn out five thousand shingles a year, about twenty thousand feet of hardwood carriage stuff, would plane four thousand feet of spruce boards, and would supply this city and Summerside with a large quantity of firewood (in cords cut in stove lengths) at alow rate. In all our experience we have not heard of a case in which a more rapid return was promised the Kailway; and, thinking of the many sidings which (per- haps) supply a car or two a year, could not help feeling surprised, that our Superin- tendent had not promised Mr. Holmes an immediate and favorable endorsement to the authorities at Ottawa, instead of “ bluff- ing” him in something like the following: Mr. Holmes—“ Can I have @ short siding put in at my mill, for which I will prepare the bed and get out the sleepers free? Super- intendent — ‘No, so many sidings are dangerous to the trains. You can haul your stuff to the Station.” Mr. er But my mill is right on the line of track; it will be retracing the roud to do 80, and it will not pay to export this quantity and haul it two miles.” Supt.—‘* Well, don’t export.” To give our readers an idea of the growth of Breadalbane Station, the following list is given of buildings about building and being finished, or to be finished or built the pre- sent year:—l1 carriage factory, 60x30, and 2 stories high; an hotel, 3 stories, from 16x20, 12 ft. post, to 20x23, 18 ft post; 10 dwelling houses, from 18x24, to 22x26, and one and a half stories, 3 warehouses, each miscellaneous buildings.

MISCELLANEOUS.

RRS MeN er re rer ten ee

Serious inundations have occurred in east Switzerland,the entire Canton of Thurs gan being submerged.

The Halifax /erald says “ it is believed by experienced men that there is forged paper passing the Banks every day.” The same remark has been made in St. John before now.

The Dominion Government has received notification from Washington that Canadian vessels will be hereafter allowed to navi- gate the United States Canals in Vermont and New York on the same terms as their own vessels,

The Grand Vizier of Turkey has written a friendly reply to Prince Milan’s explana« tion of Servia’s autonomy and privileges. He admits the violations of the frontier by both parties, and promises to appoint dele, gates to confer with Servian delegates upon means of prevention for the future.

Like the aborigines of this continent,the Arab of Algiers has made the central figure in romance by writers who were ignorant or chose to forget his real charac- teristics. Those who knew them from long experience, so far from treating them as romantic persons, say that they are brutes in human form. When French troops were withdrawn they showed great audacity in plundering and cutting the throats of French settlers, A determined encounter with even a quarter of their own numter formed no part of their military training. A score or two of French soldiers sufficed to dis- perse several hundred of these imposing and often superbly mounted warriors. And the Arab will bear close inspection no better at home. The Arab has no poetry in him and his summum bonum of earthly felicity consists in being cheba, that is to say, full. When the men are cheba, the women and children come up to pick up the remnants of the meal. ‘The strong stick which an Arab bridegroom deposits in the corner of his gourbi on the day he carries his bride home is far from a symbol, but a brutal weapon of authority, In Arab computation a woman child does not count. Nothing, in fact, can be more repugnant to Euros ean notions than the life of the Arab at ome. The settlers in Algiers have had a hard time with those thieves and murder- ers.

Mr. Berg, of New York, who is so well known for his indefatigable efforts for the prevention of cruelty to animals has been giving his attention of late to that useful adjunct of good living, the turtle. It ap- that most of the turtles brought to New York come from Key West, and in ors der to preserve his estimable qualities for the table the animal must be kept alive. If put in a pen and left unfettered during the sea voyage, he would speedily die of exhaustion, caused by beating his flippers against the sidesof his prison. Evenif the flippers are tied, and he is left right side up, the soft undershell gives way and the animal dies, By an ingenious expedient, which entirely sets at naught the native dignity of the turtle, the difficulty is overs come. He is iaid on his back in a sort of cradle, and the movement of his flipper is prevented by piercing them with needle and tieing them together with a cord passe ing through the holes. Mr. Bergh went down to Fulton Market, and caused the ar- rest of a fishmonger who exposed for sale turtles shackled in this manner. The treat- ment undoubtedly seemed very cruel, but it is said in extonuation thot the turtle’s notions of comfort fortunately differ very much from some other animals of his port- ty build, He has been known to endure a good deal without apparent annoyance, and the loss of his head does not occasion him much anxiety, until at dinner-time he discoveres that his mouth has been unac- countably mislaid.

Angecpote or Lorp Durrerin. — Not a great many people know that the popular and genial Governor General Lord Dufferin, had the misfortune to lose the use of one of his eyes, since by wearing a glass sub~ stitute and an eyeglass the useless eye appears ‘as good as new,’ This misfortune has more than once been the occassion of amusing rencontres, one of which I especi~ ally remember, and no offense could, in telling it be supposed te be given,since his lordship told the story himself. While travelling i ar (his native land) some years ago, Lord D., when nearing his destination, made use of the traditional jaunting-car. Paddy, the driver, was on that day particularly loquacious and com- municative, and during the journey volun< teered a great deal of information on the subjects that presented themselves, and this conversation was all the more free and easy since he had not the slightest idea of the rank of his passenger. Not to be unsocial, the future Governor General asked Paddy what news he had to tell of the neighbor- hood. ‘As for news, yer honor,’ replied the unsuspecting driver, ‘sure { know of no news that would interist a gintleman loike yerself, unless it is that one-eyed Dufferin is goin’ to marry Kate Hamilton,’ Though his lordship inwardly enjoyed the joke, he was gracious enough to deny him self the privilege of seeing the state of consternation the talkative car-driver fell into when he found that the ‘ one-eyed Dufferin’ he had spoken so familiarly of and his passenger were one and the same

And Will Soon be Ready, Philosophy of the Bible Vindicatéd,

Rev. Dr. O’Brien.

HE above Work treats of the great truths revealed in the Bible, inasmuch as they are known by reason. The exist- ence, attributes and works of the Creator, the human soul, its faculties of reason and will, the liberty of will, immortality and union of soul and bodys, revelation, reason and faith, miracles and faith in its relation to the body politic, are some of the subjects treated. It will contain about three hun- dred pages, and will be got up in a style similarto Campbell's History of the Island. Every Christian family should have a copy, as it is directed against the errors prevalent in our day, such as Darwinism and Materialism. Every one may not agree with all the conclusions of the author, but no Christian will, itis hoped, find any ex- pression hurtfal to his feelings.

Orders, which are respectfully solicited, may be leIt at Bremner Bros., Chariocie-, town; with J. Murray, Progress office, Summerside; J. W. Hughes, Esq., County Line; J. Bradley, DeSable, and LAWRENCE O'BRIEN, Gen’! Agent.
