LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. ihe

| Mr Eprror,—Please be kind enough to ‘permit me to ask afew questions throngh your columns. ist, Why are contractors allowed to obstruct. the passage on the ‘sidewalk by placing earth and lumber thereon? Secondly. Why ‘the city | authorities do not attend to the crossings | _of Prince and Easton and Hillsborough and Euston streéts. With reference to those ,crossings, 1 may say that in wet weather ‘they area disgrace to the city and great , inconvenience to the public in general and 'to foot passengers in particular. Hoping ‘that those small niatters will be attended to without delay:

I remain yours, etc., ENQUIRER AND GRUMBLER, Charlottetown, July 24th, 1883.

“Observer” as dt sa by rf mot Gants ;

£1r,—In the Pate ‘ot of the 12th inst. I find that ‘‘Observer’’ sees fit to strike Mr. Munn, whilst that gentleman ie engaged with the editor of the Patriot. “Tf there is ope man meaner than janother tis he who will strike an opponent When his hands are already chatesd. Bot still more bare and contemptable is the creature who efter he commits the dastardly act thrusts his hands in his pockets, thus hoping to escape detec- tion, Let ‘ Observer” lay not this flatter- ing unction to his soul, for he is well

'

known, as there are few in the Cardigan District whe would be He begins

guilty of co vile an action. is communication by finding fault with Mr. Munn for writing for THe Examiner and thus neglecting bis official dut But, before he finishes, he asserts that Me Munn is tot the author at all. This, of itself, is sufficient to show the extreme ange g ee of “Observer,” and as an index of his intelligence and knowledge of what he writes, he states that Mr. Munn is supervisor of the 9th District of King’s. If this is the section that appears to the mind of ‘*Observer”’ to be most notoriously neglected, Mr. Munn is not to blame as he has no jurisdiction over that District, Not wishing to lift the mantle of intelligence from the worthy shoulders of ‘Observer’, [ at the same time may in- form him that Mr. Munn is Supervisor for No. 8. ‘‘Observer” states that the roads are neglected and uncomfortable and soon will be impassable. Lucian tells us that Alexander began propegating his ~ false teachings amorg the Paphlagonians as they were the most ignorant .and. stupid.of the people. ‘Observer’ must consider the residents of Cardigan district to be of the same stripe if he imagines that they will swallow this gruss delusion when the most incontestable facts to the contrary are daily before their eyes; yet there are two classes whom it would be extremely difficult for the Government to legislate for their comfort. Those whose minds are constitutionally diseased and those who are approaching the last stages of political diarrhoea, Hence the moanings of ‘‘Observer.”’

He asserts that Mr. Munn did not write the articles that appeared over his signature in Tue Examiner. Whether it was Me. Munn or Bellzebub that was their author. I will not assume the province of determin- ing, I will leave that to ‘‘Observer,”’ who, from his professed knowledge of the two, would naturally be inclined to confer the honor on the master whom he most assidi- ously serves.

Mean while, I remain, Yours, ANOTHER OBSERVER.

Tt was Queen Victoria who dubbed Tom Thumb “General.”

The London season has been short but brilliant and the town is now rapidly emptying.

Sir Charles Tupper, High Commissioner for Canada, has re-opened treaty com- munications with France,

The widow Thumb, it is believed, wiil come into possession of over €300,000. This is a pretty large figure for such a small figure.

The report that the Premier would go to Manitoba in Angust next was a mistake. Sir John Macdonald will not be able to do so this summer,

The Queen remains at Windsor and feels the Princess Beatrice’s departure for a continental watering place

for the benefit of her rheumatism.

It is all very well for a man to believe that the earth revolves on its axis, but when he becomes thoroughly convinced that he is himself the axis the less you have to do with him the better.

‘‘Why am J not a nephew or niece of Mr. Benjamin Hammond, of Walmasvilias, Bradford,” exclaims the editor of London Trvth. ‘‘Last week he celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday, on which occasion he presented thirty nephews or nieces with £740 each.”

Mr. Joseph Chamberlain denied that Mr. Cobden predicted the universal triumph of free trade within five years of its ee 0a by England. A wicked Tory thereu turned up the very speeth of the great trader in which the prediction In terms most explicit, was contained. Tories and rotection ists should be suppressed.

Rey. J. F. Avery, pastor of the Taber- nacle, has been spending the past fortnight in P. E. Island. He has been the guest of Hon. John Lefurgey, of Summerside. On Saturday the rev. gentleman left the Island to pay a ehort visit to his friends at Sack- ville, N. B., and is expected home about the first of August.—Helifax Herald,

There is a movement among the Con- servatives to elect Lord Salisbury as the leader of the party, deposing Sir Stafford Northcote. The combative spirit of the peer is more in accordance with the feelings of the party than the timid, feeble and vacillating policy of Sir Stafford Northcote. The Council of the Conservative Union proposes to brivg the matter up at an early meeting, and should the resolation be carried, Sir Stafford Northcote will resign the leadership.

The fashion of sea-bathing has made good swimmers of a great many ladies, and they are putting their abilities to good use. Al- ready this season several lives have been saved by lady swimmers at the summer re- sorts. A daughter of ex-Secretary of the navy Borie saved from drowning two children who had been ecaried out by a re- ceeding wave while bathing at Cape May. At a watering place on Long Island a Miss Laury saved a minister and another gentle- man who had ventured too far, neither being able to swim; and Miss Fanny Reigal, at a little village ou the Delaware, plunged into a mill pond without taking time to re- move any of her clothing, and rescued three little children who were imperilled by the upsetting of a boat.

Captain Webb’s proposition to undertake the shooting of Niagara Falls on a wager of $10,000 calls to mind an incident of the reign of Ozar Nicholas, half a century ago, or thereabouts. Looking out of his window one day, that monarch saw a large and in- terested crowd on the bank of the Neva. He sent an officer to find out the cause, and learned thata man had bet five rubles— $3.75—that he could run across the river on /the ice, which was then in that treacherous half-liquid state caused by the commence- ment of the spring thaw. The man per- formed the perilous feat, received his five rubles, and then Nicholas had him arrested and flogged with a hundred stripes; ‘‘for,” said the Czar, ‘‘a man who will risk his life for such a sum is capable of committing any act of baseness for a similar considera- tion.”

As Capt. Webb ascended the tower at Hotel Pemberton, Boston, Thursday even- ing to make his second dive, there were 3000 anxious faces steadily watching his movements. He raised his arms as a signal to Reeves’ band to play a chord, at the conclusion of which his arms fell and he dashed head first from the dizzy height, but before he reached the water he turned completely over, striking with great force. He disappeared from sight, bat soon ap- peared above the surface, exhibiting signs of great exhaustion. His attendants as soon as possible, hurried him quickly to a reom in Hotel Pemberton, where he received careful attendance. On examination it was found that his neck, arms and back were amass of swollen and feverish blis- ters’ The captain was removed to his home on the beach. At a late hour, he

said that he would try and exhibit again that night or give up the business forever.
