A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Ove correspondent at Powne!l notes a good work, engaged in by Miss Oarver, that might weil be imitated by other teachers in other parts ef this province. One of the best ways of abaiing the liquor traffic—far better and more effective than legal probi- bition—is to impress upon the minds of the young the evil results of drunkenness, and the fact that drunkenness can be cer- ta'nly aveided only by means of total abstinence, Mise Carver, it appears, has adopted thie method. She gives special attention to this branch of education. In this she is right. Hewever learned and brilliant a man may be his life is thrown away if he hecomes a draekard. Miss Carver is to be commended. We hope that ber good examele will be followed.

THE MAILS.

Ir will readily be seen that the statistics compiled by Mre Horace Haszard, and published in the Guardian, are beside the question. We have had a fine winte:; and everyone gives credit tothe men whodaily cross the etrait between the capea,— though it ie evident, in view of the number of bage of mail left behind, that there ought to be more boais and more men

The fault lies, not with the men at the capes, but with the Government which, while making (in other parts of Camada) vaster expenditures than bave been, are too

mean or too neglectiul to supply a special irain on the railway between Cape Tor.

McKay writes from the scene of trouble: and the facts he supplies are to the point. The Guardian protests. its independence - “methioke the lady doth too much”;—and yet it publishes statements which arenot to the point, and quietly ac- quiesces in a@ mail service which is jurious to this Province and for which, io the circumstances, no good excuse can be given.

a Check.

Lexpoy, March 9.—Theb'll introduced in the Manx Legislature for legalizing marriage with a deceaeed wife’s sister re~_ ceived a check at its second reading.

Deemster Gill moved an amendment:

“That it is not advisabie that the Legislature of this isle should proceed with any measure for the iegalization of marriage between a widower aod the sister’ of the deceased wife before there bas| been legislation by the Imperial Parlia- ment.”

The ameadment was seconded by Arch- | deacon Giil.

The Attorney General dissented, If! the bill were restricted to domiciled resix dents, he said, he could not eee that it’ would cause difficulties with Eagland, aud it had deen found to work extremely well in Jersey. Only the Attorney-General voted against the amendment, which was carried.
