Reconciliation.

Ask me not to speak, Words are but a mask; Only read my eyes— That is all I ask.

Let us not look back, Let us not explain ; The past is still the past

And all regret is vain,

We are sorry both ; Let us bury all,

And upon the ruins Build a stronger wall.

Jules Favre.

Most men are Liberals in their youth and Conservatives in their old age, but Jules Favre was a Radical to his very last hour. He was born at Lyons, in March, 1809, and consequently had reached his T7ist year. Ile was a law student at the outbreak of the revolu- tion of July, 1830, and entered with all his heart into that stirring event. He soon afterwards commenced practice at the bar, and, by his independence of character, the bitter irony of bis ad dress and the radicalism of bis opinions, made himself a reputation, and to the end of his life he remained the constant champion of French Republicanism— in the press, in the different National Assemblies, and at the bar. After the revolution of February, 1848, whieh dreve Louis Phillippe from the throne of France, Fayre became Secretary- General of the Ministry of the Interior. He officiated forsome time as Under- Secretary of Foreign Affairs, voted for the prosecution of Louis Blanc for his complicity in the insurrection of June, 1848. He became the strenuous op- ponent of Louis Napoleon, after the latter's election to the Presidency. Af- ter the coup d'etat of 1851, he was elec- ted to the General Council of the Loir et Rhone, but refused to take the oath to the new constitution. His defence of Oveini, the assassin of 1858, created a great sensation by its eloquence and boldness. In that year he became a member of the Legislative body, and greatly distinguished himself by hia speeches in favor of complete liberty of the press, against the war with Ausiria in 1859, and in 1864 by his ate tack on the French Government for their policy in the Mexican war. At the general eleetion of 1869 he ran both for Lyons and Paris, being de- feated in the former and successful in the Intter. On the downfall of the Empire in September, 1870, he was ap- pointei Minister of War, and in that capacity he proceeded to the headquar- ters of the King of Prussia, in order to consult with Bismarck as to the terms on whichan armistice could be arranged for the purpose of permitting olections to take place for a constituent Assembly. The negotiations came to nothing in consequence ef Bismarck insisting as a preliminary condition on the surrender of Strasbourg, Toul and Verdun, He resigned the Office of Minister of Foreiyn Affairs in July, 1871, and re- sumed his practice atthe bar. In 1876 he was elected a Senator for the depart- ment of the Rhone, a position which he filled at the time of bis death. Most of the great speeches of Favre have been published, and he was the author of a large number of pamphlets, most- ly of political character. In him French Republicanism has lost a strong and earnest champion and the cause of freedom a true and consistent friend. —St, John Telegraph.

Lord Carnarvon, it is aaid, will at the beginning of the next session quit the Conservative seats for the eross bench- e3 in preparation fora definite seces- sion to the Liberal ranks.

Astonishing Success.

Tt is the duty of every person who has used Koschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,Pneumonia, and in fact al! throat and Innug diseases. No per- goncan use it without immediate relief. Three doses wiil relieve any case, and we eonsider it the duty of all Druggists te re- eommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at leas: io try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold Inst year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be teo widely known. Ask your Druygist about it. Sample Bottles to try solid at 10 cents. Regular size 75 eents. For gale by all Druggisia.

Many valuable discoveries and much use- ful knowledge is kept from the world, be cause of the immense expense in making them known to the people. This is not the ease with Boschees German Syrup, although but a few years introduced into this eoun- try, its sale now reaches in every town and village in the U.S. Its wonderful success in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Pneumonia, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throat and lungs, was first made known by distributing every year, for three years, over 400,000 bottles to the afflicted, fres of charge, by Druggists. No such atest of merit was ever given before to any other preparation. Could youask more? Goto your druggist and get a bottle for 75 cents and ter it. Sample hottles 10 cents.

THEIR IMPORTANCR AND VALUE. (St. John Correspondence of the Montreal Gazette. )

In 1878 Newfoundland exported 1,074,- 646 quintals of dried codfish, the value of which in the colony, was $3,976,155. A fourth or a fifth of this amount may ve added to, obtain the value in toreijsn markets. The value of the oil extracted from this quantity of codfish was $538,208, so that the value ef ow products of tho codfishery for that year was $4,314,596, The catch of 1878 was considerably below the average,of recent yee-s, that of 18/2 having beon 1,221,156 quintals, that of 1873 1,369,205 quintals, that of 18% 4 1,609, - 724 quintals, and that of 1875 1,136,235 quintals. Of course these returns include the entire quantity ef cod taken, during tie years named, around the shores of tie island, on the banks and on the coast of Labrador, but dees net include the quan- tity censuimed in the colony, which, among a fishing population, must be considerab!e. The census of 1874 showed that there were then 20,647 able-bedied fishermen in the colony and its dependencies, and that out

‘lof a total population of 161,449, there were

37,259 persons engaged in catching and curing fish, The number of vessels engaz- ed in the cod, seal and other fisheries was 986, and the amount of tonnage engaged in the fisheries 47,413 tons. It thus appears that our grand staple is the cod fishery, tie next most important being our seal, herring and salmon fisheries, the products of which in 1878 were valued at $1,547,951, making a total for that year of $5,857,347, as the valve of our fish experts of all kinds. THE BANK FISHERY—BRITISH-AMERICAN FISHERIES.

The headquarters of the cod are en tie Grand Bank of Newfoundland. The finest of the species are taken here, and it is their great breeding ground. ‘The quantity of codfish annually taken from the Banks and on the shores of Newfoundland and Labra- dor, on the average of years has been as follows :

QUINTALS, 1,006,000 1,000,090 1,500,030

By the Americans............. nck ess By British subjects.

4,000, 030

—worth about 16s. stg. per quintal. If we exelude Labrador and take the annual eatch on the Banks and along the shores at 2,750,000 quintals, averaging 50 codiish to the quintal, it is estimated that there are drawn from the waters around New- foundland 137,500,000 codfish in a year. The value ci the fisheries of British North America may be seen from the following figures :—In the Dominion of Canada, about 1,000 decked vessels, and 17,000 open boats are engaged in fishing ; 42 000 men are employed, and 200,000 per- sons are estimated to be supported almost entirely by this industry in its various branches. The annual produce of the fis.. ery of the Dominion is about £2,000,00). [f we add Newfoundland, we hare about £3,500,000 as the value ef the fish exports of British North America. The annual value of the Norwegian Fisheries is £3,- 200,000—a large sumfor a conntry having a population of only 2,000,000. The an- nual value ef the French fisheries is about £3,500,000. Of this, the official return for 1873 gave 9,881,037 francs as the value of codfish taken in Newfoundland waters, thie number of vessels employed that year hav- ing been 190, of 23,025 tons, employing 3,400 men. The average catch of cod in the Freneh colonies of St. Pierre and Miquelon, according to official returns was for the five years ending 1871, 15,425,036 kilogrammes—a killogramme being eqnal to2 1-5 lbs. Official returns show that for the five years ending 1874, the averaze number of ships employed at St. Pierre and Miquelon was 76; and of boats 590; the aggregate tonnage 12,386, and the nuin- ber of fishermen employed 5,335. In ad- dition to their Newfeundland fisheries, tlie French catch more in the Iceland seas than the Icelanders themselves, and carry away to France each year as much cod as is worth £270,000 They have there a fleet of 250 vessela in the season, averaging 30 tons, and worked by 4,400 men.

BANK FISHING BY STEAMERS.

Total...

It is announced that an attempt is te be made this year to employ a steamor in car- rying onthe Bank fishery. Messrs. Bow- ring Brothers intend to try the experime rt with the steamer Falcon, one of those ea- gaged in the seal fishery. This is an en- tirely new enterprise, and it is impossitle te say whether it will prove to be remuner- ative. Should it prove successful, the greater part of our steam sealing fleet, new lying idle all summer injthe harbour, would find employment ; hundreds of men would be engaged in the Bank fishery, and an im- mence increase in the catch of ced would »e the result. Only time will tell whether tnis class of steamers will be found suitable fer the Banks. The French have intro- duced steam vessels some nine years sinve in their fishing operations at Teste, Rech- elle and other ports ; and they have found that capstans worked by steam is a great improvement for hauling in the nets. ey
