$2,000.

Ir is understood that Chief Justice Har- rison [Richards] who has got six months’ leave of absence, will not resume his seat on the bench. His most likely successor will be Sir John A. McDonald. It is sur- prising that Sir John assumes the very labo- rious department of Minister of the Inte- rior.— St. John Tel.

We learn that the Dominion Telegraph Company have completed the erection of their poles in Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick, end that in about a month they will have the lines there in operation. The wire is expected by the next steamer, and will be at once strung, so that in a very short time there will be an independent connection with the Upper Provinces.

Tue new St. James’ Church was formally opened yesterday. During the services the church was crowded to its utmost capacity. In the forenoon the Rev. D. McRae, of St. John, N. B., preached an eloquent sermon specially adapted for the occasion. In the afternoon and evening the services were most interesting. Eloquent sermons were delivered by Rev. John Lathern, of Prince Street Methodist Church, and Rev. Prin cipal Knight, of Theological Hall, Halifax.

In distributing the prizes recently at a public school, the Bishop of Manchester said that he differed from Mr. Forster as to the advisability of young people termin- ating their school education at an early age. Instead of curtailing the period of age, he thought that, if parents could afford the de- lay, twenty-one was not too late a time of life to start in business. Quality, he added, rather than quantity should be the object of the teacher. He was in favor of political economy being taught in schools, and in- stanced the recent strike in northeast Lan- cashire as showing the necessity of such knowledge among our operatives.

Ow Saturday morning a fisherman who had just arrived in this city after an un- successful season’s fishing on the Labrador, entered our office and informed us that he had lost his purse containing $30, between Pownal Street and the Railway Station. When he discovered that he had lost the purse he walked slowly back to the house from which he started, and scrutinized every foot of the ground which he had pre- viously covered ; but could see no traces of the money. From this we infer that the money was found immediately after it was lost. An advertisement was inserted, but up to the present, the purse has not been

urned. We donot wish to burthen the conscience of the finder when we state that the loser is a very poor man, who has a large family, and that the money lost is the meagre result of an unsuccessful season’s

fishing at the Labrador.

A Cotorep Woman Turninc Wuarre.— A physiological phenomenon that is puzzl- ing the doctors has just been discovered in this city by one of the District Physicians. It is nothing less than a colored woman turning white. Luella Smith, aged thirty years, who is living at No. 60 Gano Alley, is not a mulatto. She’s as black as your hat—in the face, but her body is gradually beginning to turn white as any Caucasian. ‘This changing process began about five years ago, and now her body is fully two-fifths white; on her breast there is a white spot about eight inches long and six inches wide. Her limbs, too, present the same singular appearance, and if the change keeps on she will, in a few years, be as white as anybody. At present she is being treated for consump- tion. The only white spots about her face are directly behind either ear and inside the ears. The doctors call this transforma- tion ‘absorption of pigment,’ but whatever it is, it is extraordinary and will elicit a

TELEGRAPHIC.

[Tax following despatch was received on Saturday evening too late for insertion] :—

(Special Despatch to Examiner. ) Monrreat, Oct. 19.

The following members of the Cabinet were sworn in here :—

Sir John McDonald, Premier and Minis- ter of the Interior.

Hon. 8. L. Tilley, Minister of Finance.

Hon. Dr. Tupper, Minister of Public Works.

Hon. J. H. Pope (of Compton), Minister of Agriculture.

Hon. James McDonald, Minister of Justice.

Hon. John O’Connor, President of the Council. '

Hon. Mr. Masson arrived at Quebec this morning, when the other Ministers were sworn in, as follow :—

Hon. J. C. Pope, P. E. Island.

Hon. Senator Wilmot, New Brunswick.

Hons. Messrs. Langevin, Masson and Chapleau, Quebec.

Hon. McKenzie Bowell and Senators Aiken and Campbell, Ontario.

Writs for the Ministerial elections will be issued at once.

The Cabinet gives great satisfaction.

—_ => Recent Appointments.

THE recent appointments made by the Government on or about the 7th or 8th of October, immediately after a visit paid by Mr. Donald A. Smith, M. P., to Ottawa, are significant. For instance, Sheriff St. John, who was in the Northwest Terri- tories, and who worked and spoke in favor of Mr. D. A. Smith, has been rewarded by an appointment as Indian Commissioner, vice M. Provencher, thus making room for M. Richard, ex-M. P. for Megantic, who has become Sheriff of the Northwest. Mr. Thomas Howard, who also worked inde- fatigably in the interest of Mr. D. A. Smith, has been appointed Assistant Re- ceiver General for Manitoba, vice Mr. Mc- Micken. The appointments are certainly very questionable as they are seemingly the direct result of a corrupt understanding be- tween Mr. Smith andthe gentlemen who received them. We do not question the efficiency of appointees, but we do question the sincerity of Mr. McKenzie, who de- nounced a preceding Government for mak- ing appointments even before they lost the confidence of Parliament, and now makes appointments which he must have known were bargained away for political support.

Accorp1Nné to harvest reports lately pub- lished by Mr. Barthelemy Etienne, of Mar- seilles, the grain crop of this year will be considerably below the average. The yield is given as very good in only two depart- ments, good in twelve, fair in twenty-three, and bad in forty-six. The grain crop of Great Britain is this year much better than it was last, and instead of demanding 3,000,000 tons of grain to make good short- comings, as was done during the harvest year that has just passed, the British im- porters will need to supply home consump- tion, only 2,500,000 tons of foreign wheat.
