The Great Unknown.
Srr,—Certain parties have circulated a} report to the effect that the George Thorn who published the bogus challenge to trot any stallion on the Island was my brother- in-law, of the same name, and that I used his name to get up a match with a horse | am now handling, and that he is the Unknown. I wish to state emphatically that I have nothing whatever to do with the Unknown or the challenge; but I will) make a match with this great Unknown, for any sum that George Thorn, on behalf of the owner, dares to put up. This chal- lenge signed by George Thorn, on behalf of the owner, has turned out a very mean, dirty piece of business, and I don’t want my name mixed up with it; and I have to say, in conclusion, that if the parties do not retract the accusation against me, | will publish all I know on the subject.

Ch’town, March 4, 1884.
Sm,—In the Damy Examiver of March Ist inst., 1 see a paragraph headed, ‘‘the Government demand on the Bank of P. E. Island.” ,
I was born #hd brought up in the belief that the assets of a bankrupt, or of an ab- sconding swindler, were to be divided, proportionally, among the creditors of the bankrupt, or the victims of the swindler or swindlers. ‘Old times seem indeed to be changed, and old manners gone.” Your pacagraph states that If was generally thought that the Government would be willing to take their chauce like all other creditors, {, for one, had never heard before of the enormous indebtedness of the Prince Edward Isiand Bank to the Goverument. This ought to have been made known to the public before this time, soastoavoid the great disappointment of the creditors of the said Bank who were looking forward to the receipt, in a very short tuae, of another instalment of their deposits, as promised by the liquidators of the said bank. If the Government be about to exercise their preferential right to their ¢ 1im, to the exclusion of other creditors, are they not also in duty, and in common honesty, bound to institute a Government prosecution against the Direc- tors and Shareholders of the said bank for their very culpable negligence, or conniv- ance, in allgwing the affairs of the said hank to drift inte such @ disastrous condi- tion, Prom the general feeling of the in- habitants of this Province, such action on the part of the Government would un- doubtedly teud very much to increase their popularity with ail classes of this com- wunity. I am, sir,
Your obedient servant, Ropert Bruce Srewakt. Lennox Cotiage, March 3, 1884.

The Times says: ‘‘We uvderstand that orders have been sent to Gen. Graham to retreat forthwith from Tokar, and to arrange for the immediate return of troops to England and Egypt.”’
The people of Tokar kissed Gen. Graham’s hand as he entered the town, and there were great rejoicings. The enemy acknow- ledged that 1,500 of their number were killed.

Complimenting the Government
Lonpon, March 3. The Ambassadors of all the Powers have been instructed to compliment the Govern- ment upon Gen. Graham's victory. Dominion Political Notes. Orrawa, March 3. The Speaker took the chair at 3.30 p. m. After routine Bills were introduced— among them a Bill for the purpose of amending the Liquor License Act of 1883; a Bill to amend and to consolidate the several Acts relating to the adulteration of
food and drugs; a_ Bill to amend the gas and gas meters. A motion for a return of the _ state- ment of the receipts of the Post
Office at St. Stephen brought on a short discussion about the lottery scheme manag- ed from that town through the Post Office. Che result of the discussion will probably be that the pressure of the Postal Act will be applied, and the suspected letters so stamped as to reveal their fraudulent pur- pose to tie receivers, The Huse adjourned at an early hour.

List Thursday Feb. 25, the inhabitants of this village and neighborhocd assembled at the new Hall to listen to Mr. Earle and the Glee Club, assisted by Messrs. Bremner and Reid. It is not saying too much to say that Montague never enjoyed sich a rich musical treat, or that the Glee Club was ever greeted with a larger and more appreciative gudience. The Club, composed of equal numbers of ladies and gentlemen, fourigen in all, were in the best of spivits, and their choruses, quartettes, duets and solos, were rendered in masterly style, and fairly took the house by storm, Encores were numerous, At the close of the ‘concert the Olub received a unanimous vote of thanks. The Hall Company are under deep obligations to the Club, as their concert was a free gift to assist the funds of the company. They are also indebted to Mrs. Emery, Proprietress of the Emery House, who kindly enter- tained the Club to a splendid supper, pre- pared in het best style, and took every care of the ladies of the party until their departure without any charge to anyone. Permit me to say that the Emery House has no s\iperior—in town or gountty. We hope to see the Glee Club, with Mr. Reid and Brother (tardjner, back again next year. Rev. D. Fitzgerald, D.

| Plon-Plon on the Revision of the | French Constitution. A Paris cablegrai says Prince Napoleon |}(Pion-Plon) and his sen Prince Viet r | Napoleon gave an audience a few days ago | to eighty delegates ir im the Bonap -rti.t Conimittees formed for the purpose of con- |sidering the question of the revision of the constitution. In replying to their | address, Prince Napoleon s:id :—~ Your ; presence here proves that when it is neces | sary to defend the national sovereignty and | the riyhts of the people, a Napoleon can always be called upon. 1 am happy to have |} ny son at my side. It is a confirmation of the union of our family and shows that it 18 48 im; o°sible to separate father and sop as to separate Napoleon from the cause of
the people. The bad faith existing in Some quarters has misrepresented the pacific and perfectly legal agita- tation which our party is pursuing. The
constitution of country by
1876, imposed upon the Orleanist intrigue, which subordinated everything to Parliament and handed over the Government of the coun- try to irresponsible majorities, is the cause of our present ills, the symptoms ‘of which are becoming alarming. I trust you will not listen to the few individuals who are preaching a narrow, bombastic, seditious policy, but that you shall follow a great and loyal policy which shall re-vindicate the rights of the people. Place yourselves at the head of this revision movement. ° The country will follow you. I speak in behalf neither of myself nor of my son, but in behalf of the principle which I represent. i) the people alone belongs the right of constituting the Government by the choice of that man for the head whom it deems capable among the nation. asd line oth dams Imprisoned by his Wife.
An important case came up before the Court of the Queen's Bench, Mortreal, on the 26th ult., James E. Walsh, reputed to be the late manager ef the Bank of Toronto branch at Pembroke, Ont., is said to have fallen heir to $80,000 or $100,000 about a year ago, by the death of his half-brother, the Deputy Sheriff of Quebec. Shortly afterwards a disagreement arose between Mr. Walsh and his family as to the admin- istration of the estate, and upon several aflidavits he (Walsh) was interdicted for intemperance, his wife being appointed his curatrix. Returning to Montreal from Point Claire for the winter, he states that on the night of the 12th January last he was arrested and taken from his bedroom by twe policemen, who refused to explain or show authority, but who drove him at once to Longue Pointe Asylum, where he hes since been confined in the same ward with npwards of seventy raving lunatics. It is claimed that Walsh is not insane, and as a proof it is stated that he wrote several letters to a well-known city lawyer, who only received the last, and on visiting the asylum was told by the Lady Superioress that Walsh was merely kept there on the order of his wife as curatrix. The Court of three Judges in pronouncing judgment regretted to have to quash the writ of habeas corpus, but the Provincial Act, like many others in the Province of Quebec, was strangely contradictory. It defined, however, that power of.a curator for drunkenness to be the same as a curator for prodigality, and was ex- plicit in stating that an interdiction for drunkenness had all the effects of an inter- diction for insanity. Hon. Justice Monck admitted that it was a most extraordinary law, but the proceedings by which Wa'sh had keen confined in the Inebriate Asylum were perfectly regular under the statute, and he would have to »%e taken back. Justice Ramsay dissented from the judge-
ment, and considered tie commitment illegal. He said Quetec was the only part
of the British possessions where such a law could be practised or enforced. Counsel for Walsh moved in Chambers for an appeal to the Supreme Gourt.

Already is thy singing done? An‘ shall we see no more that face, W hose modest look and artless grace Drew stillness, ere thy song begun?
In thee we looked for one whose skill Shou'd blend fine words, well understood, With perfect voice and fitting mood,
And sway a thousand hearts at will.

So soon would rob the world of thee.
