Mr. C. J. Brypers, as Land Commis- | sioner of the Hudson Bay Company, has | this year sold land in Southern Manitoba, | at prices averaging $6 per acre; and knows | some speculators who have obtained as much as $12 an acre. The sales of the | Hudsen Bay Company have averaged $20,
000 every ‘month. These facts illustrate | the truth (?) of the Grit prophets.

Avruoves Kansas has a strong prohibi- tion law her Governor says that there ave | certain cities in which liquor is still made or aold, so he issues a proclamation offering | rewards, ranging from ene hrndred to five | hundred dollars, for the arrest and con- | vietion of dealers and manufacturers, and | of officers of the law of all grades that should take cognizance of the law but fail to do so.

Tue editor of the Patriot does not like to be addressed after the style of Mr. Fer- guson’s last letter. Then he shouldn't pro- yoke such attacks. If Mr. Ferguson has beaten him with his own weapons, the editor of the Patriot has no cause for his complaint. Throughout the past two or three years his incessant attacks upon the Commissioner of Crown Lands have been | ** discordant and very offensive to the ears of decent people.” It is to be hoped that they will now cease.

Anoruer silver mine has been discovered in Gloucester, N. B. A lead of splendid ore has been forwarded to New York to te assayed and smelted. The mine will be | owned by R. R. Call, John J. Adams (New | York), William Muirhead, Jr., John Sad ler and Samuel Adams. Nova Scotia geld mines continue to ‘‘ pan out’ pretty well. Dr. Ras, a few days ago, brought into Halifax, from the Renfrew Mine, two bars of gold, valued at about $10,009.

Tue Bishop ef Toronto says in his Christ- mas Pastoral : ‘‘ In the midst of our feast- ing may we not lose sight of the lessons of of the Incarnation :—*‘ Glory to God in the Highest ” for His gift to us of His own Son to be a Saviour from sin and from death ; ** Peace on earth,” in the enjoyment of the a of this life as gifts also from
im through His Son ; and in that mutual brotherly love and kindness one towards another, becoming the one family into which we were united when the Son of Ged took our nature upon him ; and ‘‘ Geod will towards men”’ generously flowing out towards our fellows, whether neighbors or strangers, in acts of kindness and gifts of bounty, from a deep gladdening sense of the manifold, rich and with all unmerited
ifts, spiritual and temporal, which we ve so plentifully received from God through His incarnate Son.
Tre magnitude ef the quest undertaken by the ‘‘Jeannette” on behalf of the cause of human science could rot, says the New York Telegram, have been more forcibly illustrated than by the mode in which this expedition has come to an end. In spite of the aid of the all-per@ading telegraph, the civilized world this morning receives thankfully as news tidings of the arrival of a majority of the Jeannette’s crew on the remotest rim of Siberia, over three months and a half ago, and three months after their vessel had been crushed in the frozen sea. In the general satisfac- tion at the escape of this little heroic band from the fate to which the fears of many had consigned it, and from labors, priva- tions and agonies which few imaginations are capable of conceiving, all sense of re- gret at the failure of the specific object of the expedition is swallowed up.

This requirement has created great ex: citement among the Bankers of Montreal iand ‘Toronto. The Toronto (lobe says :
“Tt appears that a number of our banks have been Jending on bank stocks directly and indirectly, and the order of the Gov- | ernment to general manayers to make de | tailed their business caused | much consternation.

Wuerxer the assassin Guiteau is insane
or not, he is certainly a very clear-headed |
witness. Many of his replies were shrewd and witty, and were he not such a henious offender, would receive much sympathy from the audience, asked him the question, ‘‘ Are you sane or insane, sir?” everybody opened their mouth for his reply. It was thought to be astuuner. But when Guiteau replied, “ I
will leave that for the jury to decide,” they | | felt that jhe
rather ‘‘ got away” with }1: terrible questioner. I hear again, ‘‘ How is it Mr. Guiteau, if you are the able man you say you are, that Bob Ingersoll can lecture on ‘‘ No Hell,” at a dollar a head, and have a house full, and you, proving that there isa hell, cannot muster more than a half dozen, and your charge is only 50 cents per head?” Because, replied Guiteau, ** People will pay a dollar at «ny time to find out that there i: no hell, when
| they begrudge fifty cents to find out that You wouldn’t begrudge twice | that amount yourself, Judge, to learn that |
there is one.
no such place exists.’ This was not the
answer of a fool.
Guiteau’s trial, however, furnishes some |
thoughts for reflection. With very few exceptions, the press ef the United States condemned the disgraceful adjuncts of this trial. Yet Guiteau leans back in his
chair and addresses the court—‘‘ which no
man Who has not murdered a President is allowed to de”—bandies werds witnesses; insults the statesmen; inveiglis against the prossention; cracks jekes with the audience; and blasphemes the Deity. And every day the crewd grows greater.
Verily, ‘* the living dog is better than the|
dead lion.”
Here is a nan who has taken human life, arraigned before the bar of justice, with an awful crime upon his head. Here is the
majesty ef the American nation on the one |
side, to whom an assassin is to answer for the daring treason of having murdered its chief—a scene for levity!
But there is still a sadder thought—the President's widow. To her this is a part of the great tragedy which engulphed her hopes beneath its dark flood. ceeding in that reom is solemn significanee. She takes up the papers with breathless interest to read, what ?—unchecked insults to her hus- band’s memery from the criminal who brought this grief upon her head, mingled with daring allusions to that God who has been her comfort and support ever since the tragedy. Even those cherished bones which she yielded reluctantly to her stern desire for justice, pass beneath Guiteau’s sneering imspection. How does the recerd of smiles and leud laughter smite upon her wounded heart! Judge Cox, it appears to us, ought to consider this phase of the question.
But not a word has been heard from her. She who has a vital interest in the trial waits, as any woman in the land may wait, for tidings common to all,
It is an old saying, ‘* Get a man to laugh at you, and he will forgive you.” In this way, the crafty and presumptuous murder- er, endeavors to deprecate the anger of the peeple. Guiteau has not been slow to predict the result of his jokes upon his hearers. We found it impossible to laugh at his wit and buffonery. We think he is sane enough to hang. He is an aceountable being, and should be made to feel the utmost rigor of the law. F,

‘*The Greatest of These.” To the Editor of the Examiner.
Dear Sir,—At this season of the year it is customary for Societies and Institutions, as well as private citizens, to extend the hand of charity to the poor and needy, and, as far as possible, relieve the suffering and distressed by their benevolent contribu- tions. Among the different Societies which might be named for their beneficence in this respect, ‘‘ The Caledonia Club” has, in the past, taken front rank.
it seems, however, that this national In- stitution, under its present managenient, has lost that spirit of charity and benev- olence by which it was so justly character ized in years gone by. Let us hope, however that the appeals of suffering humanity for aid will not be disregarded by those who have control of the funds of the ** Caidovia Club.”—Funds which have been contributed by the generous patron- age of the public, with the belief and assur- ance that liberal donations, as in the past, would be continued by the Club.
Yours,
GAEL,
T'o the Editor of the Examiner.
Srr,—I_ was pleased to see Chinaman in last week’s EXAMINER give such a good account of China Point ferryman.
If what he says about him be true, he is certainly the right man to runit. [ for one am perfectly willing that he should.
An important ferry like the one at China Point should be provided with a good sub- stantial scow to carry horses and carriages as well aa foot passengers.
Several tines last summer persons from afar who were a few minutes behind time for the steamer, were obliged to wait over or go roundavout by the way already de- scribed Such disappointments should not ovcur.
lt is very annoying for people from Mur- ray Harbor, Montague, or other places, who, after driving hard to catch the seven o'clock boat, and being unable to do so, find no means of conveyance across the river with their carriages.
The ferryman, of course, is not to he blamed for these things. He should be better paid for what he already does.
This ferry happens to be one of a number of public matters that requires adjusting.
I remain, yours traly,

Toese Burnergeare reported to be the best Fiat Plame Burner yet produced, and will give a far greater-amonnt of light than any other Burner with the same consumption of Gas,
Dr. Wallace, F. R. 5. E., F. 0.78, Gas | Examiner to the City of Glasgow, ina Soctess delivered by him, calculated that £130,000 ($650,000) a ycar, are thrown away in Gias- gow by the use of imperfect fittings. On the subject of Gas Buruers he Bays; “ Amother andas I thick a better Gurner is that called Bray’s regulator, aid as I ‘copsider these the best unicn Burners atteinwole at moderate cost, I have selected them for a series of ex- periments,”
The Report of the Committee of the British Association of Science to enquire as tothe | best means furthe developmen, of light from Coal Gas of different qualities—com Dr, William Wallace, Professor Dittmar, and Mc. Thomas Wilis, F, O.S., F. 1. C. EB, that Bray’s Burner's yielded the greatest umount of light of all the two or three score of Burners reported upon, which inciudedail the Barners of repute in the market,
In a@ pampilet upon Light and Heat, pub- lished by R,B, Taber, A. M., be says: “ The cost of Gas as compared with other illumin- ants is much more economical when rightly used, than many suppose, From experiments made for this purpose, the following resulte lave beea obtained, They were made by burning sanples ot Devoe’s Byiliiant Oil end ordinary Oils, and testing-their illuminating power, It was found that Ocal Gag costing one cent at $3 per thousand feet, gave & |light «qual to 18 candles, while Devoe'’s | Brilliant Oil consuming 27.4 grammes cost- ing halfa cent, gave a light equal to 9 candles,
“A good Argand or Johnson's Burner, the Burner's used in the last. experiment, will therefore give the fight of 2 ordinary Oil Burners in direct comparison, at no greater expense in the eas- of the finer and safer grades of Oil. Lights, however, on the author. ity of Scientists, are not to be compared ia ditect proportion, but in proportion to the squares of their powers, and such & com parison with the case of the use of Gas, ite cleauliness, freedom from odor and dangers, renders its use desirable wherever it can be introduced,”
As the above experiments were made wita Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, and not consumed through Bray’s Burners, it will readily be seen how anuch more econemical it is to con- sume Gas instead of Oi}, when its price is ouly $2.63 per 10.0 feet... now charged bere when consumed, more especially through Bray's Burners,
