Rich and Poor,
Prinee and Peasant, the Millionaire and Day Laborer, by their common use of this Temedy, attest the world-wide rep- utation of Ayer’s Pills. Leading phy- sicians recommend these pills for Stomach and Liver Troubles, Costive- ness, Biliousness, and Sick Headache ; also, for Rheumatism, Jaundice, and Neuralgia. They are sugar-coated ; con- tain no calomel; are prompt, but mild, in operation; and, therefore, the very best medicine for Family Use, as well as for Travelers and Tourists.
“TT have derived great relief from <- Pills. Five years ago I was en 80 ill with
Rheumatism
that I was unable to do any work. I toek three boxes of Ayer’s Pills and was entirely cured. Since that time I am never without a box of these pills.’’ Peter Christensen, Sherwood, Wis. “Ayer’s Pills have been in use in my family upwards of twenty years and h&ve completely verified all that is claimed for them. In attacks of piles, from which I suffered many years, they afford greater relief than any other medicine I ever tried.”’—T. F. Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. ’“T have used Ayer’s Pills for a num- ber of years, and have never found any- ing equal to them for giving me an ppetite and imparting energy and strength to the system. Lalways keep them in the house.’’—R. D. Jackson, Wilmington, Del. ‘Two boxes of Ayer’s Pills cured me of severe
f Headache,
from which I was long a sufferer. — Emma Keyes, Hubbardston, Mass.
“Whenever I am troubled with con- _Stipation, or suffer from loss of appetite, “yAyer’ 8 Pills set me right again.”” — A. J. Kiser, Jr., Rock House, Va
“Ayer’s Pills are in general demand among our customers. Our sales of them exceed those of all other pills com- bined. We have never known them fail to give entire satisfaction.’”’— Wright & Hannelly, San Diego, Texas.

The “Galatea.” A LATE ADDITION TO THE FISHING FLEET OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES, Ir there is one part of Canada more than another that is profiting by the policy pur sued by the Dominion Government,
ot the seaport towns of Nova Scotia are! assuredly amoug the most successful. Each
f fishing schooners, and each season the owners and fishermen are becoming eaithier. One of the latest additions to ihe fleet hailing from Lunenburg is the two-topmast schooner Galatea, now load- ing at Cardigan Bridge. This vessel was launched on the 21st October last, and was built by Messrs. J. & D. Smith, ot Lunen- burg. She is 98 tons burthen, and in every respect is a most superior vessel ; finished aud fitted with the best of material and ouctur, costing some $6,000. Her lines are very fine, and such 2s only can be seen in the best ciass of racing yachts, aud her loity spars are calculated to earry an im- me'se spreid of sail. The writer, in con- versaiion with Capt. Zinek, whe commands this Splendid schooner, and who is an ex- cellent specimen of the shrewd, careful, yet off-handed descendants of the Dutch settlers of Nova Scotia, learned a great ileal about the fishing business as prosecu- ted in that Province. Capt. Zeck says that the fishermen of Nova Scotia are mwak- ing money tast. For tive months’ work it is Ho unusual occurrence for ordinary men to receive from $300 to’ $350, and many vessels clear from $2,200 to $2,800 during the same time. When we remember that ali expenses of the voyage are paid by the vessel ; that no calls of auy amount, ex- cepting for clothes, are taken out of the fisherman's pay; that they receive the whole amount of their share when the sea- son is ended about the Ist of September, we can easily see that these men are doing well. And they save their money, for they are a careful, fragal class of people. Instead of spending their earnings foolishly, like many who fish out of American ports, these men either put their savings in a bank or invest it in some profitable en- terprise, many of them owning shares in vessels they sail in. Very few of the Nova Scotia vessels go fishing in the win- ter time, and out of the hundreds who sail from Lunenburg and adjoining ports, only one man was lost last year. How differ- ent is this record to the sad tale of the drowned on George’s Banks? Another noticeable remark was made by Captain Ziuck, viz: that aithough the American vessels went fishing both winter and sum- mer, few of the fishermen ever made any money. In one way or another their hard earnings are taken. from them, and at the end of each year the American fishermen, who has saved any money, is the excep- tion. Capt. Zinck fell across oue of our ** good Grits” the other day who was de- nouncing Sir John’s Government, and ex patiating on the extravagance of the Dominion cutters. But the Capcain quickly showed what the fishermen of the Maritime Provinces think of the Conservative policy of protecting our fisheries for the use of our own fishermen. As he aptly remarked, the money paid for maintaining the cutters is divided amongst our people ; and their vigilance is sv handicapping the Americans that a few years will see the Yankee flag driven from our shores. With our own fishermen prospering, thereby enabling them to obtain a greater number of better vessels, and better gear, the number of men employed in this business will be doubled and quadrupled, and _ this Island will reap a substantial benefit in the in-
require. cessfully, and may Capt. Zinck only re- sign his command for a better schooner, when such is built. G. F. O.

young man 25 years of age. The invest- ment was a Tontine policy (No. 78,272), issued by the Equitable Society of New York. ‘The first annual installment paid
stallments paid in 15 years amounted to $990.30. The policy, which was a 15-year Endowment, was for $1,000. If the young man had died any time during the first year, the investment would have shown a return of $15.15 for every $1 paid. If he had died during the second year, the return would have been less, but still greatly in excess of the premiums paid. If he had died at any time during the 15 years, the return would have been larger than the total amount of premiums paid. As he did not die, however, he has just been given the choice of the following methods of set- slement: Ist, a Cash vaiue of $1,426.61. This is a cash return of more than $144 for each $100 paid in premiums; i. ¢., a return of all the premiums paid, with compound interest at the rate of nearly 44 per cent. per annum, or simple interest at the rate of nearly 6 per cent. per annum. Or, 2nd, a Paid-up Policy.for $3,877.00. This would give to the policyholder’s heirs a re- turn in cash of more than $391 for each $100 paid in premiums.
This is a small policy, but a policy for $100,000 would have shown equally favor- able results,

The Stropie Case gain.
Srr,—** Vidette” begins another long
jand disjvinted letter to the Patriot by ex-
| pressing regret that he has to refer to the Strople case agam. I rather “think by this time he also regrits that ever he Now, however, that he has got into the scrape, he seems bound to keep it up—and Lam bouud to reply to his spiteiul attacks,
In my last letter I showed that ‘Vidette ” is no lover of justice or fairplay —nor of free speech either, | might have added, whenever he has the backing to suppress it. I also showed by his record as a public man that he is too devoted a partizan to dea! justly with his political opponents. And in the present instence, aulmosity and perssoal hance wards the Coroner, coupled with his owe political nos «ud alms are what moves hau to in- tertere. He is after the Coroner—of course he is—and repeats his charges against him fur the third time—only, 1 have already replied to these charges, and if my reply is uot intelligible to him, 1 cannot give him understanding, and must only leave him where he is, until light dawns upon him irom some other quarter.
And while he and his **expectant public” are waiting to beenlightened | shail pass on to notice, first, his sneering allusions to Dr. Muttart baving been twice defeated iu election contests. It is fiddler’s news to be told that Dr. Muttart was defeated. Kverybody knew that iong ago. ‘* Vidette,” however, in his letter, must needs repeat it twice, winding up with a clumsy attempt at wit about a ** popular whale that spewed him home, as did the one of old, the other Jonah.” A popular whale! Whales are uot popular, asa general rule. At least the great fish that swallowed Jonah is not any more popular than his neighbors; and to say that he spewed Jonah home is not borne out by the facts recorded in Holy Writ. ** Vidette’s popular whale idea is not on a par with what he told his hearers op a re- cent occasion, viz.: that Moses stretched forth his rod and commanded the Red Sea tu divide. I would advise him ater this to leave scriptural quotations and illustrations alone, as in that line he is everything but a success.
And now let us see what he has to say about the dead man, Strople. He says Strople was among those who attacked Doyle and McLean. Idenyit. Dead men tell no tales, but there is one still living, McNeill, who can prove, and who did prove, that Strople was innoceut of the as- sault. Doyle said in his evidence that al- though he hadn’t seen the dead man lying at Metis” house, he believed from the deseription he got of him from others, that he was the man who came to his (Doyle’s) rescue the previous evening. Doyle was mistaken. Strople was not there. Mc- Lean, I am aware, swore that Strople was present among the attacking party. I make no comment as to his statement, ex- cept to say that McNeill swore to the very opposite, and so also will swear, if called on to do so, four others of the Orient’s crew.
‘Vidette’s” statement that after Me- Phee and Keays had given their evidence, the Coroner was desirious of closing the case, is false. The inquest was adjourned for further evideuce by request of the Coroner, as the jurymen can testify. Keays was not examined till next day, among the ‘rebutting’ witnesses ob- tained, and he swore that it was J. R. Mc- Lean who fired the shot a minute or 80 before Strople disappeared over the bank. So the rebutting evidence did not mend matters much. But why, | am asked, was uot David Collins examined? Well, why was he not? According to * Vidette,’ a political opponent of the Coroner's was on his trial. If Collins’s evidence would have cleared McLean from the charge of having fired the shot, the latter should have secured it. The jurymen came to the con- clusion that they had heard evidence suf- ficient on which to find a verdict, and so the case closed. ‘* Vidette” can get Collins’ affidavit yet if he jikes; but he won't, for Collins, I am told, is ready to swear that it was not he who fired the shot in question. The Collins move is simply a game of bluff on the part of the Patriot writer. There are at least a dozen persons besides Collins whose evidence can be ob- tained, if the case is to go further. And I may as well tell him just here that the At- torney-General did not abuse the Coroner for not holding a post mortem in the first instance. If ** Vidette” has been told that he did, he has been misinformed. If he will give me the name of his informant, however, I may be able to let a little light in on the way the Magistrates conducted the trial of the Orient’s crew. Coroners’ courts, he will find then, are not the only ones open to criticism.
[ would just add by way of conclusion that his attack upon twoof the witnesses may be safely left with an impartial public to say whether it is justified or not. Both McPhee and Keays were independent wit- nesses. The former is an industrious young man. True, last spring, with two or three acquaintances who were on a bit of a time, he and they got into trouble, and were fined by the magistrates of Souris. J don’t know what the magistrates called their of- fence, but this [know that they were only found guilty of common assault, and fcr ** Vidette” to say that they were guilty of ‘* housebreaking” is brutal in the extreme. These young men took the temperance pledge since then, and bear as good a char- acter in this community as any other men in it. Theotherwituess, Thomas K: ays, (who is well-known here asa kind and reliable young fellow) we are told, sells whiskey on acorner. Well, if he does, ** Vidette”, who is a sworn magistrate, should lock after him, and as he has volunteered the informa- tion, while he is about it, he should, if he wishes to be considered constent, inform upon others who sell the ardent, in places
)uearer to him than Keay’s corner.
