THE PREMIER AT SOURIS,

The Grit papers are making much over a public demonstration to the Premier in the village of Souris. ‘There was a large turn-out of carriages, some flags were fly- ing, and a triple arch was turown across the street. The account telegraphed to the St. John papers satisfactorily explains the demonstration. It was a “no party ”’ affair, Whenever the Opposition in P. E. Island, who now number an overwhelming majority of ihe people, join in paying respect to the Premier, we may C.iculate on the turnsout being on a large sca‘e; and whenever the Opposition obtain fiom assisting, the de- monstration will be of limi.ed proportions. The Souris people have substantial reasons or motives for wishing to conciliate the stony-hearted Premier, who is also Minister of Public Works. hey are pretty unani. mous in wisuing to have the site of their railway station changed, and if they can secure this by the exhibition of an arch, some cariiages and flags. iney will be mak- Ing a satisfactory investment. We don't hear the Grit papers say.ng much about tle ‘demonstration ” in Sammerside or the Premier’s meeting there. ‘he reason is Obvious.— Monclon Times.

THE PREMIER IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLA Ni .

(From the Toroito Mai!

Though overwhelmed with the work of his Department (as we are so frequently told) Mr. Mackerzs finds to wander

abundant time almost from the Dan to the Beersheba of Canida, and enhgiten a bes nighted peop'e os to the beatties of his reiga in Canada. We had thonght that when hoe wenpded his way e:stwerd he would have taken with him his sweet-sm«iling Min- ister of Inland Revenue,a gem in . is cabinet of curios ties too precious to be exhibited to the people of Ontario. But we were mistake}. No such luck wis in store for the gooi people of Prince Edward Island, who, we icel confident, would have flocked in thouzends to see him of whom the Montreal //erald once said he should have

{been hung by the neck until he was dead—

dead! Mr. Mackenzie made the mistake of suppo-ing that his own comely person and C.is-l¢ speech would be enough to draw admir.ng crowds around him. He made a serious mistake; egregiously he erred. He went, he saw, but he did not conquer. He failed to “draw.” And amoug the hardy ‘Islanders there was a plentiful lack of enthusiasm. In fact even the natur.l curiosity to see the head of the Government of the Dominion did not bring them fiom their homes. In « popular sense, and from a Party point of view, Mr. Mackenzie's visit to Prince Edward Island has been deid failure.

We do not wonder at this. It would be strange if it had been otlicrwise) Whether the people of this Island be little or well versed in Canadiin politics, in those ques- tions which are the immediate shuttlecocks of Party, they deeply remember the g-eat wrong done them by Mr. Mackenzie. In the anxiéus days of October, 1873, when the member for Lambton for the first time in bis hfe saw the Premiership almost with. in his grasp, he basely bartered away a seat in the Cabinet for the support of Prince Edward Island, whose members had been elected to sustain the Government of Sir John Macdonald. ‘The whole story was told very circumstantially last session by Mr. Sinclair, one of the members from the Island. Mr, David Laird got a promise of office in the new Cabinet, the Prince Edwerd Island contingent went over to the enemy, and Sir John Macdonald resiga- ed. All went weil for awhile, Butin his own good time, snatching at an opening in the North-West, and afraid to meet his constituents once more, Sir. Liird went out of the Cabinet, and Prince Edward Island was deprived of her representation in the Government. The end Mr. Mac- kenzie desired iad been gained, why con- sider the Island any longer? Mr. Blake was anxious to bring in the ‘school-~ master’ as a colleague, and in this way sting a man he dare not sti:ke, and before who-e Legree lash he is ever ready to cringe. The bargain made with the Island representatives was of noi: sther account. If they all kicked over the t aces, the Pre. mier had still a Jarge majorityin Parlias ment. Itis chiefly the keen and bitter | recollection of tiiese events which has made Mr. Mackenzie so unacceptable to the peop'e of Prince Edweid Island. In the extreme cooiness cf iis reception we see the strength of the popu. indigna. tion at the sacrifice of the I<) nders’ ins terest to his own party «nd pers nal neces- siiies. The same fee mg, we have reason

to believe, prevails darge:y ia all of the Maritime Prov.ntes. My. Makemzie’s foot- hoid in them has grown “smad by de

gress and beautiiully .ess. 2 er +e =

HAYTI.

The Insurgents are in force about ten miles from Port au Prince, A Haytien steamer is looking for a schooner laden with arms and ammunition for the insur- gents. Portau Prince fs in a state of siege. A large portion of the city has been fired. The conflagration continued two days, and was not extinguished when the steamer left. President Caval is un- popular with the native element from his known feelings of cordiality with the for- eign element, who cannot protect him from assassination. General Soloman, a black man, formerly Minister to England, under the Imperial rule of Solouque, is at present an aspirant to office, and says when he gets into power the colored man and white man may both look out, as tae B.ack Re- public will make the streets of Port au Prince as rivers with the blood of both. Che southern side of the island is equally disatlected, and at Jacmel the newspapers are Openly at variance with the Adminis~ tration. Numerous arrests have been made by the Government. A long and Important dispatch ‘rom Bassett, the United States Minister, has been sent to the State Department on tie subject ot American interests in the present crisis.

News of the World.

~-\eNe OOOO

EUROPEAN. _ English papers publish the statement of Capt. Crapo, who made tho yoyage from New Bedford to Cornwall in a one and a half ton boat. rom this it appears that he and his wife were thoroughly cuagusted with the voyage, and very glad when they got to land, At one time during the voy. age the Captain was for seventy hours steerins without relief, the weather being so frightful, and at another time he was eighteen hours consecutively attending to the drogue. Hesaid he could not have stood another fifteen days, indeed, he had not slept for seventy hours when he lands

ed. His average sleep crossing was under four hours a day.

UNITED STATES.

James Clark, of St. John, N, B., was fatally injured at Bangor on the 10th, be-

ing struck by a falling shore during the launch of a ship.

On the St. Joseph and Western Rai Kansas, on the 10th, the coach jumped track and went over-an 6mbankment, Twenty-five persons wre wounded, several fatally.

The N. Y. World says : ‘‘ There is not a woman in the lamd who will not think Pittsburg cheaply let off with a fine of $10,000,000 for the shame it his brought upon the American character. It lowers the value of American citizenship percep-~ tibly to know taatin an American city a mob of men could be gathered together capable of carrying a cottia to the house of an unprotected woman, at night, with savage threats that her absent husband should be brought home to her in it before morning,

Ube above refers to the fiendish act of the villainous mob that went to the dwell- ing of General Pearson on the night of the riot Mr. Pearson retired to rest (?) that night with dark brown hair and rose next morning with silvery locks What a night of anguish she must have suffered ?

CANADIAN.

Wm. Blake, aged sixty-one, an obscure clerk at Kingston Springs, has fallen heir to $50,000 in England.

The verdict in the Norfolk Poor House burning disaster is that the fire was. caused by a defect in the flue. The matron and female assistants did all they possibly could, but the male assistants did not ren~ der eflicient service in rescuing the victims from the flames.

Lumber to the vaiue of $186,000 was shipped from Ottawa to the United States during the month of July. The number of large shipments is constantly falling oft. A few years sgo single shipments of the value of $20,000 were made to the United States, but this year the largest was $8,000, and the general run only about 33,000. The lumber trade between St. John and the United States has dwindled down to small proportions.

A curious incident occurred at a mars riage at St. Mary’s parish church, Dover A French couple, fom Calais, having been staying in the town a sufficient length of time to have the banns published in this church, came up this morning to be mars ried, and the ceremony proceeded satisfac- torily until the joining of hands and the putting on of the ring, when it was diss» covered that the Frenchman hed no ring. There was an awkward pause, No one in the company could lend a ring for the oe- casion; whereupon the officiating clergy- roan (the Rev. Mr. Finley) sent the verger for the church door-key, the eye of which had been used in Other paces in similar emergencies, /t was fouod, however, that the eye was not sufliciently large to admit the bride’s finger. The bridegroom searched his pockets again, aud brought outa bunchot keys attached w a ring.

This ring, with its appendages, was placed on the book, from thence it was transferred to the bride’s finger, and with the steel ring of the bunch of keys the ceremony

was duly completed.
