Our Own Country.
What great changes have come over the condition of British North America during the past twenty years! Then we were a few scattered and unconnected Provinces, having nothing, in common politically but the tie of British connection. Some of the Provinces of our Confederation were but little known, and others of them to-day proudly represented in our House of Com- mons, were then altogether unknown ex- cepting as the habitation of wild animals. To-day we are some six millions of united and happy people. Our federation, as the result of constitution «agitation, has been peacefully and harmoniously established. Thus, from the ashes of isolated colonies a country vaster in extent of territory than the proudest nation of the old world, and with more freedom in its institutions than most of them, has arisen a new nation full of promise. Since the union was consum- mated, our progress has been amazing—our trade more than doubled, our shipping cover the seas, our country is spanned by a vast railroad built wholly on Canadian soil from ocean to ocean.
In pro«f of the patriotism of our people it is estimated that there are some 500,000 Canadians in the United States, and of that large number only one-fifth have become naturalized, thus indicating their love for their native land and their hope of some day returning to it.
When a rebellion broke out in the Northwest, the ready response to the call of arms from every part of the Dominion contirmed the energy, self-reliance and patriotism of our young men—who claim as their own the herves of the part —- we can look back with pride to the hordy pioneers whose bloodless victories remain in the shape of smiling fields and cultivated farms. Let us guard well the legacies they have left us, and look with hope tu the future which has much io store for us. Our united country and the large majority of our people began life about the ssme time— this gives us larger facilities and heavier trusts. The future of our country is in the bands of the young men of to-day. Whatever Canada will be in the future, ber uwn people will be ber factors, they alone will have to control ber destinies. Let loyalty to her constitution and Jove for her tree institutions jnspire the hearts of those who are growing up with her. She has all the essential elements of national life, and only requires, at the hands of her young men, the fostering of her own nationality.

From Georgetown to Picisu.
THE STANLEY'S GOOD WORK IN THE
THE Stanley left Georgetown for Pictou at seven o'clock on Thursday morning last, having on board seven passengers, among them your correspondent, and the usual mails and freight. There was very little ice to be seen off Georgetown, but it was from two to three feet thick off Cape Bear. The steamer went through this ice like a knife through butter, making splendid
‘time,
When we were off the neighborhood of Pictou Island I went on deck and looked about fur open water, but could see none for miles. There was nothing but ice to be seen. There were regular fields of it, piled up from twelve to fifteen feet high, and, I was told by a deck- hand, from fifteen to twenty feet deep— that is, one cake piled upon the other.
Still the steamer makes good headway. Talk about the Stanley not being a success ! 1 wonder what the Northern Light evuld have done in ice like that which we en- countered on Thursday.
Eleven o'clock tinds the steamer gripped hard and tast in a field of ice, the largest I ever saw. Some of the crew are out with picks, ete., trying to release her, and her bow ffs up high and dry on the ice. By & quarter past eleven she is cut clear of the ica, and the engineer gets the order to steam astern, and come at it full ahead. This isdone. The steamer is more success- ful in getting ahead this time; and the men on the ice make for the ladder to get on board, the list man making the steamer just as the ice upon which he was standing breaks up.
At half-past eieven we are ina pack of heavy ice, going at slow speed, but making for open water ahead. By noon we can make out Pictou harbor in the distance, and half an hour later we are in the harbor, which we find full of northern ice closely packed, and piled from twelve to fifteen feet high. Between 1500 and 1600 horse-power is put to this ice, but it is not broken up until one o'clock. Twenty min- utes after one finds the steamer cutting through two feet of ice at the rate of twelve knots an hour, ana shortly before two we arrive at Pictou.
Chief Engineer McMillan informs me that the ice the Stanley encountered on Thursday was the heaviest she has met with this season, but he says she is good for much more, Everyone on board was de- lighted with the steamer, and I think every Islander should feel proud of her. Your correspondent, for one, feels proud because she isa Scotch boat, and so many of her officers are Scotchmen.

Notes from the Capital.
A friend of THe Examiner at Ouawa sends the following : The annual festivities, balls, dinners, receptions, &c., consequent upon the opening of the session are upon us to a greater extent than ever before.
Theaddress in reply to thespeech from the throne was passed by a unanimousvote. After the mover and seconder, Hon. Mr. Lauviei offered congratulations to both Messrs. Pope and Prior, and chaffed a little at the Government and the National Policy. The Old Chieftain arose to speak, asI never heard him before, full of life, wit and ani- mation. The Premier seems more than ever full of confidence and vigor.
Prince Edward Island had but two of its representatives in the Commons at the opening, viz., Messrs. Welsh and Perry, to look after the wants of the Province. It is thought that after your Provincial struggle is over, the other M. P’s. may honor the Commons with their presence.
Probably their stay on the Island, when they should be here, is for the purpose of learning the people’s views in regard to the form of bill that is be brought before Par- liament to incorporate the new Steam Nav- igation Co. If so, the excuse isa good one, as a great deal depends on the nature and clauses of that bill. The past inadequate means have been known to retard the pro- gress of the Island. The people should look to this matter now, and take steps to inform the Federal Government what is really wanted, and what is not wanted, should any monopoly loom up in the dis- tance
The boycotting of an hon. Minister's wife is common talk here. Society people have their little difficulties and troubles as well as the laboring order. Lady Stanley of Preston has, in her wisdom, thought proper to omit from the list of her invited guests a prominent Cabinet Minister's wife.
in future your people must look up to the Senate here rather than the Commons, as the members of the former chamber are all on hand and look to be ingood condition for work,
In view of the fact that the total income and expenditure now of P. E. Island is about $100,000 less in the aggregate than is the civic expenditure and income of the City of Ottawa, which is not more than a fourth rate city of Canada the excitement now is really uncalled for, as there is no reasonable grounds to justify au old-time election campaign at the present day. The Island Legislature cannot pass measures to swell the income, apart from provincial taxation, neither can it lessen the expen- diture, only at the sscrifjoe of education and the public routine service and require | ments. Hence the necessity for more. caution and thought on the part of the | people. By calm reflection only can things | be bettered, and when sound thinking and’ common sense prevails, probably one Legis- lative chamber, o-mposed of fifteen or twenty-one men et most will be found sufji- , cient to husband the stipulated iucome sod expeud the same.

Talmage Talks. FROM THE MOST ENJOYALLE TRIP OF HIS LIFE.
Dr. T. Dewitt Talmage, who is in Paris, and in good health, sails for home to-day. In conversation with a reporter he said : I have returned from the most enjuyable trip of my life. 1 have been all over the Holy Land and into parts uf Italy—Rome, for instance, which I had not seen before, althvugh I have been abroad many times. Every place in Palestine bas had a great interest for me. Just before I reached Bethlehem end Jerusalem I could not sleep. I was as cxcited as a buy, for it was the re- alization of a life dream. At Jericho, I met an American, whose namel have for- gotten, who asked me to baptize him in the river Jordan. So, one fine Sunday morn ing, when the sun shone gloriously bright, we assembled together on the banks of the great river. I was clad in the robes of an Arab sheik, with a sma)] crowd of interested

people about me, some of whom were American. We sang together, “On Jor dan’s Stormy Bank I Stand,” which my
daughter had copied from a hymn book and distributed. After this the rite of inimer- sion was performed and we disbanded. My trip was replete with biblical interest. I feel doubly repaid for it. Every book ia the bible seemed to speak more forcibly. I could trace all the important places in the bible history every journey I made.
The Prevailing Epidemic.
It may be interesting to see how people abroad, years ago, were affected by the form of this disease, which corresponds to what we now call La Grippe :—
The Rome correspondent of the London Times thus desc: ibes the influenza in by-gone years: Dr. Federigo’s “‘Physico-medical To- pography of Venice” (1831) in giving a resume of theepidemics of the eity, says: ‘The year 1782 was remarkable for a very dry summer, preceded, as often happens, by a rather foggy and rainy springtime. The Russian catarrh, a malady which attacked nearly the whole uf Europe, and of which we have an exact and detailed description by the eminent Dr. Rosa, of Modena, prevailed as an epidemic in Venice. Phis malady may be considered a lymphatico estarrhl tracheo-bronchitis. The number of cases Was immense ia the summer; its dura- tion was of many months; several physcians were attacked but none died; it was very troublesome on account of dyspna@a and the precordis] agitations which accompunied it; its course was run in a few days, and the treatment was limited to antiphlogistic and mucilag mous drinks and to occasional bleed. ing. For the rest we have cases of + pidemic catarrhs and coughs iv many epochs; such, for instance, was that described by Valesco di Taranta in 1837, and in Florence the same year, a8 was stated by Targioni; that of 1580 all over Europe, described by Hoffman, and omitting many others, ene described by Per- kinsio in 1731, which, taking its rise in North America, shortly after atttackul Germany, Russia, Belgium, Scotland, Britain, Iceland, and finaliy Southern Italy, and ezpecialiy Naples.

There is a remarkable boom in shipbuild- ing in Great Britain, exceeding even the remarkable figures of tonnage built in 1883. In that year the total output of British shipyards was 1,200,000 tons, while ijasi year it was 1,272,000 tons. As usual the Clyde heads the list with more thana fourth of the total output.
The funeral of Lord Napier took place at sonden Tuesday. The body buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. There was a mili tary procession from the Tower of London, of which Lord Napier was constable, to the Cathedral. The Queen aud other members of the Royal famiiy sent wreaths. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge and other high officers of the British army and members of the diplomatic corps re- ceived the coffin at the grand portico of the

Three large steamers arrived at Halifax on Thursday, short of coal, after having battled with the terrible storms which swept the Atlantic for the past fortnight. They were (1) the German steamer Ser- reato, from Hamburg for New York, 26 days out, with decks swept and boats amashed and quaatity of cargo jettisoned.

The German steamer Glass Brook, from Hamburg via Havre, Decem- ber 26, had a very hard passage. She had
to lay to for five days with air pumps broken and propellor shaft bent. Her decks were swept by tremendous seas,
which carried away two boats and smashed two others. Fiity vons of cargo were jet- tisoned to lighten the sbip. Her decks were badly damaged,
