Yet they have trades unions, strikers. locks-out failures, rings of “bloated manutacturers” who keep ‘*d wu the wages of the laborer, and “up” the prices of their commodities, and they have high taxation directly applied, and millions of poverty- stricken people. Something wrong t! ere yet !

—The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has written a letter to Dr. Kennard who combatted, recently, Beecher’s views, in which he describes himself as a *‘Cordial Christian Evolutionist.” He says that he is orthodox and evangelical as to the facts and substance the Christian Religion, and that does not agree with the agnosticism of Spencer, Huxley avd Tyndall. Ie believes the animal part of man was evolved from beings below him, wiile in spiritual value he is the son of God. Man is not. sinful by nature, he writes, but voluntary. He does not believe in the fall of Adam, or the inheritance of his guilt. “This is the most straightforward statement of Beecher’s views yet made public,

—The storm which followed the an- nouncement of Mr. Childers'’s provisional agreement with M. DeLesseps, is begin- ning to abate. Sir Siafford Northcote, however, gave notice that he will at an early day move an address to the Crown, praying that in the event of avy alteration in the Isthmus of Suez, England should decline to recognize all claims which ex- clude the possibility of competition in canal making inthe Isthmus. The result will be awaited with much _ interest. While the English Press generally con- demns the agreement, the French Press is loud in praise oi the sagacity of DeLesseps. The MDMoniteur Universal says that ‘‘by his timely intervention, M. DeLesseps has saved his work, put the seal to his glory, and once more deserved well cf those to whom France is dear.”

—A recent issue of the Paris Francais says:—“It his high time to put an end to the misunderstanding which severs us froma England, and which, to the great satisfaction of governments not greatly attached to the Republic, threaten to place us in open hostility with the sole power whose interests unite with ours on the European chessboard. It is time, because every day lost, every heedless word, every jeopardized negotiation, brings England nearer to the Triple Alliance, which is showing its head at all our frontiers. When the soil of Europe trembles under ihe tread of armed nations, and when the leaders of those armies have the same watchword from one extremity of our frontier to the other, it is not prudent for the Re- publie to remain isolated and to launch defiant words at the only power which has nothing to snatch from it iu a general settlement.”

—The great cry of Canadian free traders is that the Americans have largely over-produced, and that they are crippled because they have not outside markets to export their goods to, and are consequently obliged to consume all their own productions. This, they say, is the result of protection. Now, if the above statement be true, then every artisan in this country is enabled to pro- cure work simply because of our pro- tective tariff. For, were it otherwise, and had we no protective tariff, the over-produce of America would be poured into Canada, necessitating, of course, the complete closing up of all our manu- factcries. Whether such a_ policy commends itself to the laboring classes in the Dominion, a policy prejudicial in every way to their interests, is a question, which we feel, is not hard to answer. The watchword of Canada to-day is progress, and with a free trade policy such a thing would be impossible.

—The death of Captain Webb in his worse than foolhardy attempt to swim the rapids of Niagara River, was nothing more than what everyone expected, and indeed nothing more than he really deserved. If any possible good could have been subserved by the accomplishment of such a feat, then there is some excuse for its aitempt. But as anything of the kind was out of the question, it does seem a disgrace that, in these proud days of boasted civilization, a man should be allowed to sacrifice his life in this fashion, before the very eyes of thousands of spectators, aud with the knowledge of the authorities who had power to pre- vent. We talk with horror of the giadiatorial shows of ancient Rome when | bravest man and fiercest beast, covered with blood, struggled hard for mastery,

a thunders of applause spurred on the

one and roused the ferocity of the other. But were such exhibitions as these any worse, or more degrading,

than the spectacle of a man voluntarily throwing away his lif as C aptain Webb has dove?

Term DAL.

defender of Kars General Williams |

was born in Nova Scotia on the 4th of December, A. D. 1800, and was there- fore in the 88rd year of his age. When

twenty-five years old he entered the Royal Ariillery, became First Lieutenant two years after and Captain in 1840. On being vominated British Commis- sioner, with the Turkish Army in the East, in 1854, he was at the same time promoted to the rank of Brigadier Gen- eral. One year later he made his name famous by his heroic victory over the Prussian General Mouravieff on the heights above Kers. After that city had been invested four months Williams and his brave comrades, amongst whom was the F angarian, the late Gen. Kenetz, did all that men could do in defence of Kars, holding out sternly on the scantiest hope. Gen. Mouravieff sammoned the garrison to surrender, November 14, and Gen. Williams, after holding a council of officers, sent a flag of truce to demand a suspension of hostilities. This medium failed through unforseen difficulties, Gen. Williams, having demanded an inter- view with Gen. Mouravieff, accepted terms of capitulation. For his gallant conduct on this occasion he was reward- ed with a Baronetcy, a pension of £1,000 a year for life, the rank of K. C. B., the honorary degree of D, C. L., at Oxford and the freedom of the City of London, For some time he held command of the troops in Canada and was afterwards ap- pointed Governor-General of Gibraltar.

—A correspondent of the St. John Tele- graph suggests the establishment of free public baths and places where young people of both sexes can be taught how toswim. And the Telegraph says:—

‘The suggestion is a very sensible one. We have good authority for saying that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Our peo- ple, as atgeneral rule, are disposed to be as cleanly as circumstances will permit, but a large portion of the populatiom do not have the household conveniences necessary to en- able them to be as particular in this respect as they might desire. Such persons as these would patronizé public baths and be glad of the opportenity. The Wiman baths cf Toronto were designed to meet the case of this class of people, and the attend- ance shows that the effort to promote clean- liness is likely to prove most successful. As to the desirability of having places where young people can learn to swim, there can he no two opinions. Almost every paper we open tells of some drowning accident, and in the most cases there would have been no loss of life had the unfortunate people who were suddenly immersed had even a slight idea of how to swim. Everybody goes on the water some time or other and everybody is therefore liable to be thrown into the water sometime, yet the majority of men and nearly all women have no notion how they should act in the water, if it should be so deep that their feet could not touch the bottom. The majority of deaths from drowing probably result from struggling in the water, whereby the individual becomes exhausted and his lungs emptied of air. If everybody knew how simple a thing it is to keep afloat, and how even a small buoyant article may save a life, the percentage of deaths by drowning would be reduced to a minimum. These things can only be taught by familiarizing boys and girls when they are young to deep water—that is water too deep for them to wade in, and the best way to do thatis by establishing public swimming baths.

Fire Investigation.

The Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon examined Goody Hogan, Ab. Allin, and Katie Allin, with reference to the fire set behind Mr. Wm. Kennedy’s icehouse, and the fireatMr. J. D. McLeod’s. Their

statements were as follows:—

Goody Hogan—I was not at Kennedy’s icehouse when Johnny Hatch made the fire. I did not tell him to set the fire. I was playing knifey with him behind Dodd’s, and he went away behind a house and I did not see him afterwards. Katie Allin caught Johnny Hatch setting the fire.

John Hogan, father of the boy, said that he could bring witness to prove that Goody was at his grandmother’ sat the time Hatch set the fire.

Ab. Aliin—I was at Mr. Hatch’s about a quarter past eight. J went up stairs and stopped two or-three minutes. Mr, Hatch and his wife were there and I talked to them. When I came down I went over to Mr. Fraser’s. After 1 came down I saw Johnny Hatch standing between the stairs and the gate between Mr. McLeod’s stable and the station. I cannot account for what Johnny was doing there. When I got to the fire after the alarm was given, the fire appeared between D. McKinnon’s oftice and the rear of the station. [Mr. McLeod agreed with Allin that the fire was set between the station and McKinnon’s, but the police say it origivated in the stable. |

Katie Allin (12 years of age) saw Johnny Hatch gathering chips, but did not see him set the fire at Kennedy’s icehouse. She saw a little smoke afterwards. Goody Hogan was not there then. These was no one there but Johnny Hatch.

The statements show that the boy Hatch has a mania for lighting fires, and that it is highly probable he started the fire at Mr. McLeod's. The Magistrate decided to keep him in custody for the present, and if pos- sible have him sent to the Home for Little Wanderers at Boston.

Kensington Notes.

Fishing was good at New Londen on the 28th. Some of the boats took as many as three thousand mackerel.

Bass are plentiful off New London. One young man caught eighteen on Saturday night.

Mr. Clark, the genial Station Agent at this place has, we are pleased to learn, totally recovered from his late severe attack of illness.

A number of ladies and gentlemen from Summerside held a first-class Picnic at Darnley, on Saturday. They spent a most enjoyable time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. |

——<—e

“The present term of the Provincial Nor- mal School was concluded this afternoon by a public examination, commencing at 1,30 p. m. The closing was well patronized by towns- people, as well as a number of teachers retir- ing from their various schools, The examina tion was opened with specimen lessous, Mc. R. M, Smith acquitted himself ecreditab'y in a lesson taught to the Norman pupils; subject: ‘Lime as a fertilizer.” This was followed by an excellent lesson on breathing, taught by Mr. L. Ruggles, illustrated by blackboard diagrams. A botany lesson by Miss Chapman, on iruit, taught toa class of Model School scholars, was equally interesting and showed splendid powers of instruction. This portion of the programme was concluded by a lesson on industrial drawing, managed nicely by Miss MeKenzie, the whole school taking part in forming an original design from dictation by Miss McKenzie.”

Str,—The above from the Halifax Chren- icle shows how practical is the system of teaching in the Provincial Normal school of the sister Province of Nova Scotia. If the teachers in our Normal School would lay aside a worn out stock of Latin and Greek words, and descend to the practical, of what inestimable benefit would it be to their pupils and the whole community. Schoolmasters should teach our youths the meanings of things that have a direct bear- ing on the activities of every day life.

A Young Couple’s Sad Death.

A party of young people, including Wm. H. Hosier, aged twenty-three, of No. 589 Lorimer street, Williamsburg, N. Y., and Miss Mary Burke, of Greenpoint, started on Sunday night to walk from Smith's hotel at Maspeth, to Greenpoint. To shorten the distance they walked on the Long Island Railway track. When they reached the Grand street crossing two trains approached from opposite directions. The party scat- tered, and as the trains came near the women screamed and the men appeared to lose their ‘wits. Hosier and Miss Burke were together. All hands managed to get out of the way of the trains but Miss Burke and Hosier. They did not realize their dan- ger until it was too late. To escape the east bound train they stepped on the other track, but were struck by the express train from Patchogue and instantly killed. The friends of the unfortunate couple after- wards visited the Hunter’s Point Morgue and claimed the bodies. They were engaged and were soon to be married. Their ce- mains will be buried together.
