Tue Daity EXAMINER. JULY 15, 1879.

A Specimen Grit Job.

Tue Crits of Quebec seem to be a thoroughly bad lot. Only the other day it transpired that a man named McGowen— brother-in-law of the Premier—obtained from the Government a piece of property for $5,000 for which he previously offered the late Government $10,000, This piece of property had cost the Government over $16,000, and was valued by the Crown Lands Department at $12,000.

The Letellier Matter.

Tur Legislative Council of Quebec have adopted the following resolution :—

‘That it be resolved, considering that the nomination and recall of Lient.-Governors of the ditferent Provinces of the Dominion is vested in the Governor-in-Council, under the authority of the B. N. A. Act of 1867, according to the despatch of Lord Carnar- von, the Secretary of State for the Col- onies, to Lord Dufferin, then Governor- General, of the 7th of January, 1875, in which it is declared that ‘‘ The Lieut. - Governors of the Provinces of the Do- minion, however important lecally their functions may be, are a part of the colonial adminstrative staff, and are more immedi- ately respensible to the Governor-General in Council ;” considering that the successful working of the Lecal Government depends in a great measure on the accemplishment of theduties assigned to the different Lieut. - Governors, and that any infringement on the Constitution with impunity would en- danger the peace and prosperity of the Do- minion. this House is of opinion that it is the right as well as the duty of the hon. Privy Council of Canada torequire from the Lieut.-Governors the faithful execution of the duties of their offices, and to intervene to prevent them from acting in anyway sub- versive of the principles of reapensibie gov- ernment granted to each Province.”

A Portuguese African Explorer.

A Portuguese gentleman nazned Major DeSerpa-Pinto has just accomplished a feat which will tend te revive the ancient repu- tation of his countrymen, by cressing the centinent of Africa from the Portuguese colony of Benguela on the west coast to the English colony of Natal on the east. He left Benguela en the Sth of August, 1877, and reached the coast of Natal on the 14th of April, 1879. He devoted much atten- tion to the natural history and geography of the territory through which he passed, and the result of his discoveries in these directions are likely to be very valuable. He entertains a highly faverable opinion of the country, and there is no doubt that Central Africa is yet destined to become a field for European colonization. Major Pinto’s most remarkable discovery was his finding a tribe of white negroes, ‘‘ whiter than the Caucasians.” The following is an extract from his lecture, giving an account of this singular discovery :—

| here made one of the most curious discoy- eries of my journey. I one day noticed that one of the carriers was a white man. He belonged to a race entirely unknown up to the present day. A great white people exists in South Africa. Their name in Cassequer ; they are whiter than Circassians, and in place of hair have their heads covered with small tufts of very short wool. Their cheek bones are prominent, their eyes like those of the Chinese, ‘The men are extremely robust. When they discharge an arrow at an elephant the shaft is completely buried in the animal’s body. ‘They live oa roots and the chase, and it is only when these supplies fail them that they hold any relations with the neighboring race, the Ambuelas, from whom they obtain food in exchange for ivory. The Casse- queres are an entirely nomadic race, and never sleep two nights in the same en- campment. They are the only people in Africa that do not cook their food in pots. They wander about, in groups of from four to six families, over all the territory lying be- tween the Cuchi an Cubange. It would seem that from a crossing of the Cassequeres with the negroes of other races sprang the mulattoes of the south whom the English call Bushmen. The latter are, however, better off than the Cassequeres, and use pots in cooking their

food, while their dispositions are , tough quite opposed to civilization. ——— re THE reception which the Rev. | Vitt

Talmage has met with in England ougii to be some consolation after the treatment which he received from the Brooklyn Presbytery. The London Christian Globe ascribes the fol. lowing characterization of him to his eloquent brother Mr. Spurgeon: Mr. Talmage’s dis- eourses lay hold of my inmost soul. The Lord i; with this mighty man of valor. So may he ever be till the campaign closes with victory. { am indeed glad of his voice. It cheers me intensely. He loves the Gospel and believes in something, which some preachers hardl

do. There are those about who use the old

labals, but the articles are not the same. May |i

the Lord win armies of souls to Jesus by this man. 1! am astonished when God blesses me, but somehow I should not be much sur- prised if he blessed this man.

WHAT A NEW YORK JOURNALIST HA OF THE DOMINION.

roa SAY

Unper the heading of ‘* A Tour Through Canada,” the Scottish American Journal, published in New York, says editorially :—

‘“{t is simply impossible for any intelli- cent observer to pass through Canada with- out adding to his fund of knowledge and his sources of enjoyment. Ne country 1s more highly favered with natural advan- tages, and in few, if any, are there pre- sented stronger evidences of civilization and culture. The country, indeed, is rich in all the physical elements which are ne- cessary to greatness ; and, in the hands of the enterprising people who are now settled in every part ot the, Deminion, those ele- ments ,are evidently being utilized with skill, and te the utmost possible advan- tages. The water-power of Canada—in lakes, and rivers, and streams—is prodigi- ous. In mineral resources there are treas- ures of inestimable worth. Nowhere can there be found a finer soil for agricultural operations ; and whether by railways or steamboat communication, the facilities for travelling, for enterprise and for pleasure, are certainly unsurpassed. It would be strange if such a country did not arrest public attention, and the phenomenon wold border upon the mysterious if there were not seen on every hand signs of pros- perity and growth.

‘In its present settled form, Canada can beast of a number of cities which are in all respects creditable, whether considered in size, in populatioh, in trade, in public in- stitutions, in architectural skill, or in edu- cation and intelligence. Among these it is not invidious to single out Halifax, in Nova Scotia ; St. John, in New Brunswick ; Quebec and Mentreal, in Quebec ; Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilten and London, in Ontarie ; Winnipeg, in Manitoba ; and New Westminster, in British Columbia. In all these cities there are well arranged streets, extensive parks, handsome dwel- lings, spacious warehouses, magnificent churches, commodious schools, &c., and almost every other sign of refined taste and | advancing civilization. In public buildings take McGill College in Montreal; the uni- versity in Toronto; the Parliament Houses in Ottawa; the citadel and other places in and around Quebec, and the question might well be asked where are they surpassed ? As to natural scenes, what can rival Niag- ara Falls ? or the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence ? or the picturesque beauty of the whole tracts of country in Ontario run- ning from Hamilton to Brantford, and to Goderich and Windsor ? or the bold roman- tic grandeur of the scenery on the shores of Lake Huron and Superior?’ or among the recks and cliffs of the St. Law- rence and the Saguenay, and ether rivers ? Some of these scenes have offord- ed constant themes for the artist’s pencil, and the peet’s song, and the histo- rian’s sketch; and the more closely they have been inspected in all their changing wonder the more warmly have they been admired. The experience of former trav- ellers is a sure index for the guidance of future tourists; and any person who desires rest and recreation, amusement and profit, health and pleasure at a limited expense, and with a comparatively short and easy trip, should turn their faces towards the Dominion of Canada, in one of its many at- tractive spots spots. At every turn and in every forin there would be found objects of interest. The eye would be delighted, the mind weuld be entranced; and both soul and body would gain fresh funds of health and vigour. With such reseurces at their command the Canadian people have reason to feel proud ef their country; and with their proverbial cordiality will extend to visitors a hearty welcome.

The Theatre.

The Theatrical Company won golden opinions last evening. ‘There was a full house and the “Ticket of Leave Man” was acted with agreat deal of animation andwith nice attention to the spirit and moral of the play. Miss Phosa McAllister in the simpler,more consistent and beautiful char-

acter of ‘‘May Edwards’ appeared to even greater advantage than she did on Saturday night as ‘‘Pauline.” Mrs. E. M. Post took the amusing part of ‘the woman of a few words ”—to wit Mrs. Willoughboy—with much spirit, and ex- cited a great deal of mirth ; Miss Anita Harris, as ‘‘a fast youth,” at once the pride and sorrow of his grandmother—could not well have been bettered. Mr. Burroughs improved greatly upon the high estimate we first formed of him. His acting last evening was decidedly first-class, and well worthy of his high reputation. As ‘‘ Jem Dalton” (the tiger), Mr. Harkins was ad- mirable in his numerous alaises and dis- guises ; and the part of ‘‘Melter Moss” (the tiger’s pal), was rendered exceedingly well by Mr. E. B. Holmes. Messrs. Nannery, Lennox and Mora were quite up to the mark in their respective parts. In fact, nothing seemed to go wrong or be wanting—except the scenery and other litthe etceteras ; and it is agreed on all hands that this is the best theatrical com- pany that ever visited Charlottetown. It isto be regretted that some feolish and thoughtless persons relieved their over- wrought feelings, at some of the most pathetic points, by bursts of laughter— very annoying to those who wished really to enjoy the play, and, we doubt net, dis- comfiting te the players. “Better ftaste, too, might have been evinced in rendering —.

CaTrLe FOR THE ENGiisHh MARKET. The success attending the speculation of Messrs Keefe, MeGirr and the MeDonald Brothers in shipping cattle raised in the Maritime Provinces to the English market, has induced Mr. Michael Coughlan to embark in the same enterprise. Mr. Coughlan has been in Nova Scotia lately buying up such animals as he could meet with to suit his purpose. A tel gram was received from him on Saturday, stating that he had succeeded in securing 100 head of Cornwallis and Lunenburg cattle, which he intended to have _— from Que. bee to England in a few days. here is every probability that the trade in cattle between the Maritime Provinces and Great Britain may assume extensive proportions in the near future. A few cattle were shipped from Granville on Friday morning ; 20 head were also sent from wp river, and 40 from Sackville for English market, —S¢. John Telegraph.

Cueap InsuraNce.—A_ subscriber at Nap- anee in remitting says :—‘‘ | insured my house in the Canada Agricultural Insurance Co. They burst, and 1 lost two years on one and three months on another policy. I then in- sured in the Ottawa Agricultural, and I un- derstand now they have also reinsured their policies with the Watertown Agricultural In- surance Co, Can you inform me in your next issue if am insured or not? I really don’t know, and there are others in this section who are equally ignorant. Please inform us, and oblige yours.” — Monetary Times.

The above shows the absurdity of insuring in weak Canadian Companies, which secure most of their business by cutting rates. Pro- perty holders might as_ well save their money as to accept cheap insurance, without being

uaranteed perfect security in the event of oss. This can be had, beyoud doubt, by taking out a policy in the IMpexiat Fire Iv- SURANCE Co.. of London, which insures at moderate rates. Fr. T. Newsery, Agent. i
