Traftic on the Railway.

Ir is, from every point of view, gratify ing to learn that the traflic and receipts of the P. E. Island Railway have been larger during this summer, than ever before. This is, uo cloubt, due in part to the ad- mirable management of Mr. Unsworth. But it also shows that a prosperous people are appreciating more and more the ad

The Autumn Meetings.

Tue recent meetings of militiamen at

Ottawa and Quebec were unusually suc-

cessful and the shooting and shiftihg un- usually good. It is pleasing to know that our militiamen maintained the good name of the Province, and obtained a fair pro-

portion of the prizes. Apart from this, the

bringing together of young men from various widely separated parts of this coun- try is good policy; for it will fill their minds with more detinite and more patriotic views and feelings concerning Canada. The greatness of her extent and resources, the strength of her position, the ability of her men—the fact that she is a country to live for and die for—will be appreciated by the iwilitiamen in attendance at these meetings, and communicated by them to those, with- in their several spheres, who remained at home

nished by the Empire, concerning outside markets for the fish caught around our shores

It appears that the United States handled last year, for immediate transhipment to other countries, $914,770 worth of Cana- dian fish,—not consuming it, but making a profit of sending it on to the consumer! Says the Empire :—

** They send, of our dried or pickled cod and haddock, to the British West Indian Islands, $98,651; to Cuba, $306,158; to Porto Rico, $5,003; to Hayti, $3,365; to Brazil, $17,318. Of our pickled mackerel they send $17,701 to the British West Indies, $3,650 to Hayti. Our dried or pickled herring they send to the iiritish West [udies to the amount of $7,078. Of our pickled salmon they send $3,735 to England; $2,806 to the British West Indies, and $4,000 to Australasia. Of our lobsters they send $31,665 to England; $43,183 to Scotland; $177,073 to the French West Indies, aad $7,780 to the Hawaiian Islands.”

The Empire culls from another table in the United States returns, United States export ‘* foreign fish” —a large part of which was, no duubt, caught in Canadian waters—-to the value of $381,543, and says :—

a statement showing that the

‘Here, again, the destination is of interest tu us. They sell of dried or pickled cod and haddock, $52,671 to Cuba, $41,990 to Hayti, $18,939 to the British West Indies, $7,160 to Brazil, $2,270 to Datch Guiana; of pickled mackerel, $61,459 to Havti, $6,193 to the British West Indies, $3,608 toSan Domingo ; of dried or pickled herrings, $4,753 to the ibritish West Indies, $1,485 to Hayti; of $36,306 to France, $18,501 to Aus-

$8,450 to Germany, $5,363 to Eng-

land, $5,338 to the Argenvine Republic, $4,917 to te United States of Columbia, $3.75) to sweden and Norway, ete.

The Empire remarks:

‘‘Without following up the other kinds of fish to their markets we may ask if Canada migit not fairly expect to do a share of this

trae if efforts were made to push it. It is very certain that much of our fish now goes toy these and other localities, and that still

more would go if we took active steps to open a more direct trade. We have to sell what they want to buy, and do buy, and there is no reasoa why we should not deal together. Aa to the United States, with their large sales of the kind of fish of which we have a sur plus, they are obviously not our best eustom- ers, if we can get at the consumer and save the middie profit.” - PO LOO

The new Postn:aster-General— Hon. Mr. Haggart—has scoreda point by directing that the mails for the West Indies be sent by steamer direct from Halifax, or St. John, instead of via New York. The new service began to-day.

Politicians in the United States are beginning to awake to the fact that Canada is a piece of land of some value. Mr. Pierrepont now says that ‘**the absorbtion of Canada by the great Republic is manifest destiny.” In other words: Now that Can- ada has railways commanding the trafic of the continent, her manifest destiny is to be ruled from Washington for the benefit of ‘* \inerican interests.”

TebpercuLosis.—-Says an Ottawa despetca:—At a meeting of the parliamentary committee on egricalture last session, a dis- cussion took plece on the conuection between the disease tuberculosis in man and animais. It was urged that it was conveyed to the hu- man family by drinking the milk and eating the ‘desh ot diseased animals, and that pre- cautions ought to be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. A difference of opinion was exhibited as to the extent to which tuber- culosis gxivted in Canada, and upon the sug- gestion of Dr. Pergusoa and Geueral Laurie a sub-committee was appointed to recommend that circulars be seul toa number of medical men in Canada askirg for information on the question, The Departaent of Agriculture ig nUW is¥uiny these circalars.

Varia.

Tue Lord Mayor of London, M. Poly- dere De Keyser, had a magnificeut recep- tion on visiting his birthplace, the quaint little Flemish town of Dendermond. The occasion ot this patriotic visit called forth every possible recognition of the honors which had been conferred upon the worthy alderman and his brother burghers Visitors were in abundance, and swellec the crowds to such a degree that the streets were almost rendered impassible. Besides the inevitable dinner, and the inevitable speeches which followed, there was one of those historic processions of which the people on the continent are so proud, The allegorical chariot, representing London, was, says & hewspaper correspondent, con- ducted by «# genius, surrounded by the figures of religion, wisdom, charity, patriot- isin, diligence, kindness, perseverance, JUS- tice, honor, foresight, constancy, vigilance, eivie virtues, fortune and nobility. The procession Was elused with the wooden horse Bayard, mounted by the four sons ot Aimon. This somewhat cumbrous struc- ture was propelled by tweaty men, who were concealed beneath the caparisons. A singula: story is told as to how the wooden horse of Dendermond once saved a human life. It is thus given by the London Times narrator :—** Many years ago the Dender- monders, wishing to trot out Bayard, found to their amazement that the worms had so much eaten the head that it was no longer presentable. At the same time there lay in prison, under sentence of death for noc- turnal fighting and rioting, Lievin ran de Veld, a wild lad but an excellent wood earver. He was promised his pardon if ‘he carved, within the few days which still remained before the time fixed for the corteyé, a proper head. Lievin achieved the task, and it is believed that the head which Bayard wore to-day is the one which saved Lievin’s hfe.”

+ _* A British mission is about to visit Cabul, but under very different conditions to those of previous years. An Englishman of high positiun 1s going there, not as hereto- fore against the Ameer’s advice and wishes, but at the Ameer’s express request. It is denied that there is any connection in the \meer’s mind between this sudden desire to receive an English mission and the revolt of his cousin, Ishak Khan, the Gov- ernor of Afghan Turkestan. The existence, however, of such a revolt is an additiona! security for the Ameer’s good faith. He certainly will not care to quarrel with his owt subjects and with the Knglish Govern- ment at the same moment. But ata time when his authority is openly challenged, his request foran English mission may easily be turned to account bya idversary. On former occasions the ruler of Cabul has not wished to keep the city quict when the English were there. It is very likely this time that his will to do so may be in excess of his power. * + ~ Lu Sikkim the difficulties are actual. The passion for missions has involved England in » frontier war with Tibet. The objects of the Indian Government were excellent, but chey failed, as they have failed before, to realize that there are nations in the world whose one desire in reference to Englishmen is that they should keep as far away as possible. In order to punish the Gevernment for having sent a mission to one of their towns the Tivetans have now invaded Sikkim, a territory under British protection,

An English newspaper thus cleverly criticises the cost of a presidential election in the United States: ‘A paragraph is going the round of the papers to the effect that the cost of a presidential election in the United States every four years is £4,- 000,000 sterling—that is to say, a million a year; a fact, if it be a fact, which places in a striking light the alleged economy of Re- publican simplicity. Whatever the cost of the English Crown may be, it cannot even now exceed that, and it must be remem- bered that for a very long period after Her Majesty’s accession, it was nothing like that sum. Moreover, the country receives the hereditary revenues of the Crown, which go a long way towards balancing the account. Of course we have our own Par- tiamentary elections to pay for, but they are nothing like so expensive as the strug- cle for the Presidency is said to be. And even in that item of account, the American system is enormously more costly, for every State in the Union has its own separate legislature, besides the Federal Senate and House of Representatives at Washington. On the whole, there is reason to think that the English Court is a far cheaper institu- tion than the White House.” + *

A correspondent asks what is meant by the ‘City of Palaces.” There are three cities so known (1) Rome, from the reign of Augustus, for we are told that he convert- ed ‘ta city of brick huts intua city of marble palaces.” (2) Caleutta. (3) St. Petersburg so called from its numerous Imperial and Government edifices. My correspondent must judge from the context which of the three is intended.

The addition of descriptive terms to zities is not uncommon. Some have passed into phrases. I give a number, although the list is by no means exhaustive.

City of Churches, Brooklyn, New York, which has an unusual number cf churches.

City of David, Jerusalem.—2 Sam. v. 7,9.

City of Destruction, the world, or rather the worldly state of the unconverted. Bunyan makes ‘* Christian” flee from the City of Destruction and journey to the Celestial City, by which he allegorizes the ** walk of a Christian ” frum his conversion to death (1678.)

C.ty ef God, the Church universal. phrase is used by St. Augustine.

City of Lanterns, an imaginary cloud city, somewhere beyond the zodiac.

City of Legions, Caerleon-on-Usk. New- port is the port of this ancient city (Mon- mouth and Glamorganshire). I was in the city of legions that Arthur held his court. It contained two cathedrals, viz., St. Julias and St. Aaron, built in honor of two marryrs who suffered death here in the reigu of Diocletian.

City of Masts, London.

City oy Monuments, Baltimore, in Mary- land. One of its streets is called Monu- ment Street.

City of Refuge, Medina, in Arabia, where Mahomet cook refuge when driven by coa- spiraturs from Mecca. He entered the city not as a fugitive, but in triumph | (A. D. 622),

Souris Notes.

During the brisk south-easterly and dis- agreeable rainstorm of Wednesday night, the fishing schooner Sea Flower, of Cheti- camp, went ashore on the Souris beach, and probably will be a total wreck, if any inshore wind prevails. The captain says that he could not see the end of the break- water, and ran too far west in bringing the red light in sight, which ranges with the inside of the breakwater.

Masters of vessels complain of the same difficulty; even the. local captains are puzzled, and why not strangers. Owing to the high bluff the breakwater is overshaded even on not very dark nights. Souris is a port of refuge, and vessels on the coast put in for shelter, and particularly those of the fishing class, sometimes numbering 120 sail. The captains dread to enter on account of no light or guide at the end of the breakwater, which is the principal danger. A considerable amount was ex- pended this summer for repairs, and the work is progressing rapid'y. If this iino- portant barrier were brought to the notice of the department, it would be no doubt looked to. Why not some of our enter-

prising business men or local captains speak ¢ A few American fishermen arrived to-

day direct from home. They report others coming, ay seining is a dead failure on their shore. (Juite a gloom overspread our quiet towu ontheearly morn of Friday, by the an- nouncement of the sudden death of our worthy and highly esteemed townsman, Mr. Sullivan, cooper, who has resided here for some years, and was well and favorably known to many of the business men and citizens of Charlottetown, having lived in the metropolis many years before coming to Souris. Mr. Sullivan was edging close to ‘*three score and ten,” and although athicted with rheumatism for years, appar- enily enjoyed good health lately, and look- ed smart on the street the previous evening. About three o'clock a. m. he came to the becrocm of Mrs. Sullivan and daughter, seemingly in good heaith and spirits; but this morning, much to the sorrow and hor- ror of his athicted wife, he was found in the cold embrace of death. Mr. Sullivan was the father of James Sullivanjan employe,for years on our Island Railway, who got killed out west a year ago. Much sympathy is felt “or Mrs. Sullivan and her daughter-in-law, and the town at the loss of a worthy resident. ALPHA. Souris, Sept. 14, 1888. : 2 - —— -

Methodist Missions.

Wednesday’s session of the Methodist Miss‘on, Board at Winnipeg was entirely occupied in discussing the basis of the ap- propriation for missionaries in the different conferences in Manitoba and the nerthwest. It was decided, after some opposition, to leave it as it was—$900 tothe married and $750 to the single men.

A strony effort was made to increase the Newfoundland appropriation to $850, but was left over to see how the funds stood when the division was made. No changes were made in any of the conferences. The following scale was finally agreed upon. First, married ministers in towns and cities $900; second, Manitoba, $900; third, Newfoundland $800; fourth, British Columbia and the Pacifie cuvast, $1,000; fifth, other missions, $750.

The consideration of the estimates for the Japan mission was then taken up. Dr. Macdonald’s salary wasttixed at $1250, Dr. Ebis’ at $1250 and four children $400. Teachers, ministers and evangelists’ salaries were fixed at the old figure.

At Thursday’s session the board of missions considered the amount asked for the support of missionaries on various foreign fields. The total amount asked for Japan work was $22,479 and for Indian work in the conferences $45,503. In going through the items making these totals the board made a number of changes. The committe on appropriations will have to report before it can be detinitely settled what sums will be actually received by the missionaries. The amount asked for the conferences severally for domestic missions were as follows: Toronto conferences, $12,840; London, $11,414; Niaagra, $5,014; Guelph, $12,120; Bay of Quint, $18.564; Montreal, $24,350; British Columbia, $6,545; New- foundland, $23,885; Nova Sevtia, $14,446; New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, $15,443. The board has been principally occupied in committee work. The Metho- dist delegates to the mission board have

been interviewed onthe question of the union of Methodist and Presbyterian churches. The general opinion was that

while such fusion was desirable, there were

difficulties in the way that: would prevent

am: lgamation at least in the near future. —— EE oS

What Davitt ays.

Davitt writes, with reference to his recent speech, that he did not make disparaging references to Gladstone or Morley. He only ec mp/ained that Irishmen did Giad- stonian glorification which ought to be dune by English liberals, who would be greater gainers by pacification of Ireland He still considers that if Gladstone showed as much enthusiasm over Ireland as he showed over Bulgaria, Balfour would not dare to continue his brutal policy, which is possible only because Irishmen, out of deloreuce to Gladstone, have abandoned even legitimate resistance. He still be- lieves that the Gladstonians will give « left handed acquiescence to the thinning
