—The advantage of having a loca! Bank is exemplified in the experience of Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Commeretat reports that while things were booming and money flowed freely in the country

from outside sources, the banks were willing to accommodate and coined money out of the business dove. But

“when .a period of depression overtook the couotry —which was ouly natural as a relapse from the inflated condition that existed—they have been found to be almost ‘the worst of enemies of the eousiry.” Winnipeg has as yet no local bavk, and The Commereial points out that that the establishment of such a bank is the ‘‘only safe-guard against the rapacity Of Otitsiders.” And it says the “cireum- tances that have transpired of late can- not but have served to impress that idea more strongly upon the miuds of every one who has anything to do with com- mercial matters.” Again, we express the hope that the Merchants Bank of P. E-Island will be maintained.

—Sir Henry Fitzhardinge Berkeley Maxse, Governor of Newfoundland, died at Government House on Saturday last, in his fifty-second year. His body was taken by the Allan steamship “Caspian” en route to England, Lady Maxse and her two sons accompanying the remains. Sir Henry was one of the illustrious Six Hundred of the Light Brigade, aad served in the Crimean campaign as aide to Lord Cardigan. He was wounded at Balaklava and received the Crimean medal, the Turkish medal and the order of the Medjedie for his distinguished services. In 1858 he was promoted to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel, and in 1863 was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Heligoland, and was advanced to the rank of Governor in 1864. In 1874 he was nominated a companion of the order of St. Michael and Si. George, and in 1881 was created a Knight commander of that order. In 1881 he was appcint- ed Governor of Newfoundland.

—The London Times of the 10th inst., urges France to remember that a decision of peace or war with Chioa cannot be delayed much longer, and appeals to the French and to the Chinese Ministers not to keep the world in suspense as to iheir intention. Not only European powers but American and the Euglish colonies have rights which must be considered, and a decision must be reached without delay. The Republique Francaise says France has no wish to meddle with Chinese affairs, but China must not inter- fere with those of France. France will insist upon maintaining a protectorate over Annam, which will in no way pre- judice Chinese interests. France is willing to recoguize the honorary suze rainty of China in Annam, but cannot admit of the co-existevce ot a Tonquin French protectorate and Chinese juris diction. A rectification of the frontier will be necessary, with one point for the purposes of trade. The proposition for a neutral zove is inadmissible. ‘These terms should give satisfaction to China, and the Marquis Tseng will incur a heavy respovsibility if he refuses to accept such reasonable conditions.

—The Patriot has long had a reputa- tion for political virtue and integfity. Consequently when Mr. Fauquier was ‘ unseated recently, owing to the too free use made of intoxicating liquor by some of his agents, no one was surprised to see the Patriot denouncing in most vigorous terms these corrupt. practises. But strange to say never a word was heard from the concientious and unbiassed editor of the Patriot when the following roll of distinguished reformers who fought for purity of elections, were subsequently unseated for bribery aud corruption : ~- Shipley, Jodoin, Mac- kay, McGregor,Chisholm, Irving, Norris, Devlin, Coupal, Biggar, Murray, Aylmer, Witkes, Cook, McLennan, Dymond, Christie, Hughes, Prevost, Higginbot- ham, Cushing, Tremblay, Macdonald (Cornwall) McNabb, Wood, Cameron, (S. Huron), Walker, Mackenzie, Stuart, Kerr, Macdougall (S. Renfrew) LaRue, Barber, Miller, Phelps. There are thirty-five in all. Besides these. four prominent Reformers have been disqualified for personal corruption, and one has been unseated for stuffing ballot boxes, A few months ago the rty was reprimanded for manufactur- Ing votes, or colonizing in the county of _Hastiags, and more recently a Grit assessor in Welland was found guilty of deliberately aod fraudulently placing on the assessment rolls Reformers who had no right to bethere. The statistics so far are as follows :—-Grits unseated for corraption, 35; Grits disqualified for corruption, 4; Grits unseated for ballot- box stuffing, 1; Grits discovered ip assessment frauds, 2,

THE PROVINCIAL SYNOD.

The Provincial Synod of the Church of England, is in session in Montreal. The business, it is said, isimportant. The Hal- | ifax Herald says it is expected that the | diocese of Ontario will be divided, and a new diocese erected with Ottawa as its see, title and centre. Permission will also be viven for the election of a bishop for the diocese of Huron, in the place of Bishop Hellmuth who has been translated to the Evglish diocese of Ripon, The right of the Bishop of Fredericton to assume the oflice and title of metropolitan, to which he was elected by the unanimous vete of the bishops, and which he fills so acceptably, is to be called in question by the diocese of Montreal, which claims in it perpetuity by letters patent from the crown, by her ma- jesty tothe late Bishop Hulford and his snceessors. Important matters in connec- tion with the missionary work of the church, and especially relating to Algoma and the Northwest, will be discussed. The religious orders of deaconness’ and sisterhoods will receive attention, looking ‘to a more general introduction of these useful insti- tutions. Acanon defining the limits of ritual will provoke warm discussion. The petition of the synod of Nova Scotia asking for a reduction in the number of delegates will meetwwith decided opposition, and it is doubtful if it can be carried. Altogether’ the session premises to be a long one, and to be occupied inthe discussion of ques- tions of great practical interest .te the Anglican chureh throughont Canada. Some pleasant interchanges of fraternal courtesies are also expected.

“Mr. Paraell in Dublin.

Mr. Parnell lately addressed a meeting in Dublin where he received a most én- thusiastic reception. His remarks were more especially directed to the outlook of

affairs in Ireland, expressing himself as)

being more hopeful of the future. Among other things, he said that at the beginning

, of the last session of Parliament no body

of men were ever assailed WITH SO MUCH VITUPERATION

as the Irish Parliamentary party were com- pelled te meet. He was glad to say they had lived down and triumphed cver it. Not only that, but they had been able to turn the announced intention of the neglect of Irish interests into one which had afforded several most important and valu- able measures in the interest’ of the Irish people. He did not think he exaggerated when he said that the result of the Fisheries (Lreland) Act, the Laborers’ Act and the Tramways Act would be second in value only to the Land Act and the Arrears Act.

Emigration had been going on at the rate of a million a decade, which was due to the utter impossibility of laborers finding any appropriate settlement at home. He looked to the Laborers Act as most likely to check &

GREAT DEAL OF THE ABNORMAL EMIGRA- TION

which had deprived the farmers of much of the most valuable bone and sinew of the country. He*looked to part II. of the Tramways Act as solving a problem which must have puzzled every thinker on the land question. It has been said truly that the Land act did not touch the condition of the small tenant farmers in the west of Ireland, whose sufferings had brought about the Land Act. With considerable difti- culty £50,000 were obtained from Parlia- ment for trying a plan of migration. If it was successful it would give them au un- answerable argument for larger sums for the same purposes next session.

Their position was most encouraging. It was no longer a question with the great body of Eoglishmes,as to whether the Irish people should haye self-government, but astothe amount of self-government which they would be willing to accept. He had every hope that before long a

MEASURE OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT

would bedaid before Parliament, and al- though it might not go the whole distance they went, it would give considerable fur- ther power tothe Irish people, and train them in these habits of self-government and self-reliance which were of yital im- portance and necessity in training and forming a nation.

Forbidding the Banns.

A lively and almost tragic scene occurred at St. Ann’s Chureh, on Wednesday even- ing, while the rector was preparing to make two hearts beat as one. Shortly before the appointed hour, a female friend of the in- tended bride arrived at the church, out of breath, with a heavy shawl doing service as a bonnet. She threatened to annihilate the rector if he dared marry that girl to that worthless man. Another woman arrived in the midst of the trouble and proraised vengeance jf he married that young man to that strut of a girl. (Both parties

were at thirty years of age.) Just now the bride and groom turned

the corner and marched into the chureh, followed by a third woman who dared the clergyman to marry them in a church where the marriage vows would be so much waste talk, The rector naturally felt in a quan- dary, but the groom held his license and neither he nor the bride were children. The groom finally lost pelcoee, and swore that if the rector did not do his dnpty some other clergyman Would, and that before he slept, too. After some little difficulty the intruding women were re- moved and the ceremony was proceeded with in the presence of two officials of the church. The father of the bride is a truckman, but he was not a witness to the exciting performance, —fredericton Reporter,

The Lost ‘‘ Canima.”

A PASSENGER TELLS THE STORY OF NARKRKOW ESCAPE FROM DEATH,

One of the paséengers of the wrecked steamer ‘‘Canima” gives the following ac- count of the disaster :—

‘The ‘‘Canima,” laden with a general cargo, valued at some $60,000, and having, besides the ship’s company, thirty-five pas- sengers on board, sailed from Halifax for St. John’s at six o’clock on the evening of Monday last. The voyage during the first two days was pleasant, but n6t uneventful. At midnight on Wednesday Cape St. Mary’s light was distinctly visible’ on the port quarter: The. weather shortly afterward became thick and lowering, and an hour afterward the’rain poured down in torrents and a strong breeze rose from south-south- west, ‘The sea began to makerapidly. By two o’clock an impenetrable fog settled over the water,

‘TOP HER !”

At half-past two the engine room telegram bell strikes sharply, ‘‘stop her.” Some of the wakeful passengers jump out precipit- ately and alarm the sleeping ones. There is a rush and a general stampede on “deck. The telegram bell clicks again; there is a dull rasping noise audible, the ship’s bot- tom is grating over a serrated reef. In a moment the passengers erowded upon the decks and are staggering out on their feet. The bows of the Canima have struck and split upon the Gulf Island Rock. The watches below jumped out of their berths into two feet of water on the forecastle floor. The ship heels over on her side, but with a redound of the sea from the rocks again she rights. The engines are going full speed astern. The bow wheels away from the land and she falls broadside upon the rocks. Gradually her stern, through the action and movement of the sea, takes the place just occupied by her bows. She is fast settling down in the water.

SAVING LIFE,

The life raft is sought to be launched, but could not be disengaged from its lash- ings. A boat is lowered, and a volunteer crew attempt to pass a line ashore. After several unavailing efforts one brave fellow, with asmall line in his mouth, risked all and reached a crag through the boiling surf. With this a hawser is hauled across and made fast bstween the steamer and the rock. After a number of the male pas- sengers had got on shore, Capt. Varqnhar improvised a sea basket to land ithe lady passengers. But hark! A voice from the shore exclaims, “‘My God, captain, this is only a smali rock we are landed on! There isa gulch between us and the mainland. We shall either be starved here or be washed off.” The morning was now dawning, and with it were dawning, too, the appalling fears of the situation. The passengers and crews, except the captain and first officer, were all landed on this mere gull rock, scarcely large enough to afford them stand- ing space. The spray is dashing wildly over. If the sea should rise there is no salvation for a single soul,

AGE AND INFANCY..

An old woman aged ninety’ and a chile aged three were among the number ot the passengérs. The old lady geonsigned her- self to the basket with stoical indifference. The child in its father’s arms cries out, ‘Don’t kill me, papa,” and the mother still on the deck of the steamer, shrieks wildly, ‘‘Give me back my child, you will drown it?’ So stolid otd age and fearful, tremu- lous youth alike found a temporary lodge- ment and foothold on the wild rocky abode of the sea gull.

SEEKING HELP.

The life-boat under command of the first officer, is manned,’ and by an g!most superhuman effort is rowed to Holyroad, the nearest. telegraph station. A brave fellow, mamed Michael Landrigan, with a erew of men start off immediately. from the shore for the scene of the disaster, bringing provisions and water. The day is now almost spent, and the wind and sea partially abate with the sinking sun. Captain Farquhar is on the rock with his passengers. af

OFE IN A SKIFF.

Landrigan moors his skiff about a hun- dred feet from the surf vexed rock. From this skiff a small boa is lowered down on the rock and opportunity between sea and sea is carefully and skilfully embraced to get the passengers and crew ont of their perilous position. At length all is happily coucluded. Passengers and crew are safely lodged in the fishing skiff and brought to Trepassey. They carry, with them only the clothing they wore. Here they embark on the “Cabot” and aré safely landed at St. John’s a jittle before midnight.

‘A trip to the Dominion of Canada” is the title given by Hugh Fraser, farmer, of Clune, Inverness-shire, Scotland, to a read- able jittle pamphlet intended for circulation in Scotland, r. fraser has been pretty well through Canada and has kept his eyes wide open. Much attention is given to the older provinces, particularly to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, both of which are represented as good fields for immigra- tion.— Hz. Herald,

The total number of French officers in active service is at present nearly 14,000, inclyding 400 Generals. No province is more puyoerously represented than Alsace- Lorraine, no less than 2,000 officers being natives of that now German province, in- cluding 26 Generals of divisions and 59 of brigades, best kpown among whom S&chnee- gans, Sumpt, Schramm and Wolff. Besides these there are about 100 naval officers from Alsace-Lorraine in the French service, in- eluding Admirals Coarad, Krantz, and Pigeard.

The French Foreign Minister assured the King of Spain during his visit to Paris that the articles in French papers during the recent Spanish rising did not emanate from the Government, which cherished an

earnest dusire for peace in Spain. 2
