SEPTEMBER 11, 1879.

The Dominion Exhibition.

Mos of our readers will not be surprised tolearnthat the Patriot's statement that Mr. F. Brecken, M. P., took little pains to distribute copies of the prize list of the Dominion €Uxhibition lacks ‘* the essential element.” We are informed that Mr. Breck- en received but three copies of the prize list. ‘These he immediately distriputed— and wrote for more.

But the Putriot’s vagaries apart. We hope that as many residents of this Island as can afford the trip will attend the Dom- inion [Exhibition at Ottawa, on the 22nd, o3rd, 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th of Septem- ber, inst. The knowledge to be obtained is of great practical value to the farmers of this Province. Besides, those who attend cannot fail to have brought home to them the fact that they belong to a great country—a country to be proud of and to fight for if necessary; and these impressions carried to their neighbors and friends will do much to neutralize the unpatriotic teach- ings of the (mis-named) Patriot. The fares to and from Ottawa on the occasion will, without doubt, be greatly reduced.

Railway Pic-Nic.

Tne fourth annual railway employes’ pic- nic came off at Birch Grove, Freetown, yesterday. Although somewhat showery in the morning the day turned out very pleas- ant. ‘Che widespread fame of Birch Grove gave alditional interest to this popular pic- nic, and very many regretted that more tickets were not issued. However, a goodly number of the employes and their friends

arrived on the grounds at an early hour by the difierent trains—the special from Char- lottetown accompanied by St. Patrick’s Brass and, bringing the greatest number. The various games, &c., were immediately commenced and kept up all day with great interest. Ali present seemed to heartily enjoy the day’s sports.

The Montreal Hera/d contains an article, which the .Globe endorses by copying, in which the following passage occurs: —‘‘There

is now no doubt that there is more activity in trade than has been noticeable for some time; and though the movement is not on a large scale, yet there is a turn for the bet- ter in many lines, both in the demand and in the prices obtainable, which causes the mercaiitile community to look forward with greater confidence to the future. Trade generally is on a healthier footing than it was diring the period just prior to the set- ting »: of the long-continued depression ; and it now remains for beth merchants and manufacturers to avoid the excesses of the past, and prevent a repetition of the disease which has so stubbornly resisted treatment. and wliose cure has been a matter of time, and only bronght about by natural causes,” This is highly satisfactory, and we have no doubt our Reform contemporaries who an-

ticipated general ruin under the new tariff

are agreeably disappointed, and stand ready to confess that they were mistaken. —) ail.

a'ue of Colonial Trade.

In 1877 the Australian Colonies, with two millions >of inhabitants, purchased British exports to the value of £19,285,718;

‘whilst the United States with about forty millions of inhabitants, purchased only to | the value of £16,376,814. In the same yea the Dominien of Canada, (with Newfound- ‘land), containing four millions of iahab- itants, took from Great Britain exports to

the value of £7,613°547; whilst Russia with ; (3500) so considerately lency the Governor.General and H. R, H, the;

nearly eighty millions of people bought only to the extent of £4,178,641. In other words, every Australian is as large a cus tomer to Great Britain as sixteen Ameri cans, and every Canadian is better than \thirty-five Russians. ‘‘ Thus,” says Mr. | Ecroyd in one of his letters to the Bradford | Obs: rrer, ** should we succeed in settling lonly four or five millions more inhabitants jin our Colonies, their custom would be as 'large asthe whole of our present export itrade to the United States and combined.” | <a | [he Use of the Fist in Politics. Sedidas It is related of the venerable Hannibal Hamlin, a prominent United States politi- ‘cian, that when he wishes to be especially forcible in addressing his Maine disciples, he pounds the desk vigorously with his fist. Having occasion to visit Livermore during the canvas, a desk that was not only hard but full of splinters, being nothing ‘more than rough pine boards, was placed before him. The venerable senator arose, and we leave a description of what then took place to the correspondent :- ‘His large, dark eyes swept the audience ;

his expression was solemn. Raising his arm aud pointing with his tinger in the di- rection that the Androscoggin River flows, he said. ‘‘There is a storm coming. I see the cloud.” Here the people looked up through the pine trees, taking the Senator’s words in earnest. ‘*There is a storm com- ing from the South,” here his fist slowly clenched. {saw it once before. I saw it in 1859. I told you so then,” in a thunder tone, ‘‘I told you so then,” Loom, a ter- rific crash on the pine board with his fist. ‘You did not believe,” boom. ‘But I was right,” beom. ‘‘The storm broke in 1860,” boom. ‘‘It is coming in the same way,’ boom, ‘‘and when it breaks it will,” boom, “engulf,” boom, ‘‘this country,” boom, ‘‘in more direful,” boom, ‘‘consequences,” boom, ‘‘than it did then,” a terrific boom. To tell the truth, the pounding or the speech or both pleased .the people. They cheered the venerable Senator, and he went on to the end with one fist behind his coat tails and the other vigorously pounding. On one occasion, when the Senator was speaking in a country school house, he requested that the kerosene lamps be removed from the{ desk. It was evident that he thought he might in a moment of excitement pound them upon the floor and interrupt the meet- ing.” Our Canadian politicians evidently have something yet to learn from those of the neighbering State of Maine.

Brutal Stabbing Affray.

A most brutal stabbing affray occurred at Weston, a village about eight miles west of Toronto, on the afternoon of the 9th inst. The circumstances are as follows :— About half-past four in the afternoon a stranger came into John Eagle’s hotel and asked for a drink, and while drinking Peter Gaudbeau, employed in Smith and Wilby’s paper mills, entered the hotel and began talking to the stranger. The conversation was finally directed towards the French Canadian population of Quebec, and a dis- pute arising, it came to blows. A man named Conron caught hold of Gaudbeau and threw him to the floor, when the stran- ger got on top of him. The antagonists were parted without delay, but not before Gaudbeau had been stabbed three times— once in the centre of the chest—in the left side, a portion of the left lung protruding through one of these gashes. ‘The stranger at once took his departure, and the county constables are new in pursuit of him. Gaudbeau asserts that he was stabbed by both the stranger and Conron, but the spec- tators say the former only used a knife. The doctors who attended the injured man entertain small hopes of his recovery. He is 28 years of age, and married. He came to Weston about six weeks ago from Mon- treal.

A Halifax despatch says :—‘‘The mar- riage of Charles Tupper, son of Sir Charles Tupper, to Janet, eldest daughter of Hon. James Macdonald, Minister of Justice, was celebrated in St. Mathew’s Presbyterian Church this morning. The church was filled with the youth and beauty ‘of the city, many of whom were waiting for hours before the doors were opened. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Robert Laing, M. A., Pastor, assisted by Very Rev. G.M. Grant, D. D., Principal of Queen’s College, Kingston, Ont. The groom arrived at 11.35, accompanied by his groomsmen, Geo. M. Greer and Carter A. Hill. At 11.45 the bride arrived, and was led to the aitar by her father. The bridesmaids were her sisters, Misses Katie and Newny Macdonald. The bride and bridesmaids were dressed in white silk, and carried boquets of flowers. After the ceremony the bridal party and guests drove out to the residence of the bride’s father, at the North West Arm. where breakfast had been spread. They left this evening by the Intercolonial in a special car for the United States.

To the Editor of the Examiner. St. James’ Manse, Sept. 10th, 1879. Sin,—Having received from the hands of the Lieut.-Governor a portion of the amount ‘given by His Excel-

Princess Louise, on the occasion of their re- cent visit to this Province, forthe relief of the poor, it has occurred to me that a question might very properly be raised as to the dispos- ition of the entire amount placed at our com- mand by the distinguished donors, and an expression of public opinion invited on this

‘The expenditure of the money in relieviug the more pressing wants of the helpless ana indigent poor, fora few months to come, or perhaps in the severer portion of the winter, would be easily effected. At first sight this might appear to be the most natural course to

take. It does not follow that it would be the best. Perhaps thoughtful and benevolent

persons will come forward and think out some plan whereby the money now in hand can be retained and treated as the nucleus for the establishment of some public charity, perman ently helpful to the deserving poor, and at the same time serving as a pleasing memorial of the visit and liberality of our distinguished benefactors. ‘The gift in question would thus awaken the benevolent sentiments of the citizens. Some common embodiment of our humane and charitable instincts would add an ornament to our city—at present, I venture to suggest, lacking inthisregard. When men are sobered by pecuniary losses, it may be fit- ting to ask whether, in the day of prosperity, the men who had money sufliciently considered their duty to the poor. Their are various forms of benevolent effort, on behalf of the poor of City and Province, in which I could sym- pathisze most cordially; but I refrain from suggestions in detail, as these might come more properly from others or in another way. My object just now is to raise the general question. Particulars can be dealt with after- wards, provided the proper persons were to take the matterup. ‘The Mayor, or some of the other prominent citizens who have pleasing recollections of the Vice-Regal visit may be able to offer some valuable assistance.

lf no general action can be secured, it will then remain for those to whose administra- tion the Lieut. Governor has committed separate portions of the money to apply it ac- cording to their best judgment, even though the memory and benefit be transient.

Absence from town prevented me from con- ferring with others on this subject at an earlier date. I refer to the matter through the col- umns of your paper as the speediest mode of reaching those interested in the social welfare of the community. Assuming that the steps already taken for the distribution of the amount through certain conventional represen- tatives of our population will be accepted on all hands as appropriate, my remarks relate to the action on their part sustained by thought- ful public sentiment, which will confer the greatest amount of benefit on the poor through

the means and perhaps the influence of the gift in question. I am, sir, yours truly, K, Mac ennay.
