} Datty EXAMINER.

DECEMBER 21, 1878.

A YEAR and a half have rolled away ; and | the Darty Examiner still lives.

Indeed it may now be truly said that the Dairy Examiner is one of the “ institu- tions’ of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales ,of the Datry Examiner in the city, along i the line of railway, and in the various towns | throughout the Provinee, it is doubtful if | the people could live without their daily | paper.

i

Hard though the times and dark the pros- | pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- | tion to continue the publication of the | Dairy Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.

Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Datry EXAMINER, a daily telegra:a containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.

Through the Datry Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.

We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Datry Examr- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.

The local news shall be given through the Datty Examryer promptly,‘truly and as full as possible.

For the large means required to carry out this work we look tp the people whose wants the Dairy Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.

The original subseribers of the Damy EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.

The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Damuy Examiner would do well to subscribe now.

In connection with the Darty EXAMINER the Wreekty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be

made in advance.

The Duke of Edinburgh.

FROM THE UNPUBLISHED NOTES OF YORK HERALD AMBASSADOR.

—— a

It having been intimated to ie by cer- tain august personages that His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was de- sirous of continuing the conversation inter- rupted on a former occasion, I determined to pay him a second visit on board of the ‘* Black Prince.”

Politely but firmly decliag the pressing |

invitation of the Princess Lou—se to spend the afternoon at the Admiralty House and take an informal tea with herself and the Marquis of L—rne, en famille, I chartered a dory and hired a stalwart fishermen to row ine over to the ‘‘ Black Prince.” Inthe stern of the dory I displayed the Herald flag, attached to the end of my um- breila.

Although I embarked in the quietist and most unostentious manuer possible, my ap- pearance in the harbor created an immed- iate sensation. From ship to ship passed the word, ‘There goes the Herald yacht !’ and soon the shipping was alive with excitement. The yard arms of all the men-of war were manned in honor of the Herald, salvos of artillery burst upon the startled air from every side, stately mer- chantmen dipped their colors as I passed, white handkerchiefs in fair hands waved a graceful salute, and manly throats sent hearty hurrahs in the wake of mydory. It was a scene of wild enthusiasm, and one I never shall forget.

On reaching the ‘‘Black Prince” I bade

the Herald fisherman await me at a respect- ful distance, and sprang into the fore to’- gallant mizzen rigging with the agility of a cat. Sir Tommy Apthomas Dodd, K. C. B., assisted me over the rail. I gave him my ulster and arctics to hold while I re- mained below. He seemed grateful for the attention. His Royal Highness had graciously given orders that I should be ushered into his presence without a second’s delay. I found him seated ina Turkish casy chair, hung on gumbolls, earnestly perusing the Per- sonal Advertisement column of a Herald. He blushed slightly when my observant glance rested on the matter that engaged his princely attention, and pretended to be looking among the Lost and Founds to see whether a dog which had deserted him when in this country fifteen years ago was there advertised.

“The Herald is a wonderful journal,” Prince Alfred was pleased to remark. ‘“ What must be the resources of its intel- lectual department when it employs the descendant of Kings in its reportorial cap- acity !”

I confess I was startled at this remark, and at the keen look of intelligence which His Royal Highness gave me.

‘‘“You have discovered,” I stammered. ‘‘ Has my accent betrayed me? Has—”

‘‘T have discovered,” said the Duke, folding me in a warm embrace, “‘that you are one of us. The dignity of mien, the nobility of sentiment, the aristocratic re- serve of utterance which distinguish you from ordinary journalists could not be mis- taken. Saxon or Celt, what boots it? I trace back my lineage a few hundred years to petty Hanoverian potentates. You trace yours a thousand, perhaps, to '

‘*To The O'Leary of Ballymaglum !” I replied, proudly drawing myself up to my full height. ‘‘ It is true that I, too, come of arace of kings. But we have been down-trodden, oppressed, driven into igno- manious axthile by the intholerable arro- gince ay ——.”

His Royal Highness winced. 1 remem- i bered that I was his guest, and desisted. ‘Let us change the subject,” I said, cor- dially extending my hand. ‘‘ You were speaking the other day of your worthy wife, the Duchess, and the children.”

“Yes,” he replied, laying his hand upon his heart, ‘‘ I could talk all day with you on that subject.”

‘‘ Pardon me, Your Royal Highness,” | ventured to say, ‘‘ but there have been ru- mors of a serious estrangement between yourself and the Duchess, based on general incompatibility of temper and _ occasional domestic cruelty on her part. The readers of the Herald would be glad to learn whether this report is true.”

‘“You may state in the Herald,” said Prince Alfred, ‘‘ that there is positively ne foundation for such a story. I am unable to understand how it got abroad. I have always regarded, and still regard, the Duchess with sentiments of the most unal- loyed affection and esteem.”

‘* Let us leave no doubt on this point,” I continued. ‘* You still love the Duchess?”

‘*T am glad of the opportunity,” replied the Duke, with evident sincerity, ‘‘to say, through the Herald, that I am still very fond of the Duchess.”

‘* And the children?” I remarked. _

His august face shone with a luminous smile.

‘‘ They are the dearest, brightest, clever- est little tootsey-wootseys in the world,” he exclaimed, his eyes fairly dancing with par- ental joy. ‘I think everything of them. Do you know, I have just received a cable despatch from the Duchess, informing me that our youngest has cut its fifth tooth. Pardon these domestic details,” he con- tinued, eying me rather shyly, ‘“‘but they come straight from my heart to my tongue, and perhaps you, too, are a father.”

I admitted that Iwas. I was charmed with the delightful frankness and unaffected simplicity of demeanor of this high-born rsonage. “How many children have

It is admitted by all classes in England that the business crisis through which that country is passing is, upon the whole, the severest of the middle portion of the Nine- teenth Century. And there is, too, we be- lieve, among first-class busiress men in Britain a general agreement of opinion as te the causes that have brought on or in- tensified the trouble, though some may award more prominence to one cause and some to another. The Governor of the Bank of England, the world’s greatest banking establishment, recently discussed this matter in an after dinner speech. The occasion was not, of course, favorable to thoroughness of treatment, though ‘‘ the commerce of the city” (London) was the toast responded to. But as there is not, probably, a muan in England in a better position for watching the course of trade and noting the events and influences that promote or derange its operations than this gentleman, he could scarcely speak on the subject, however briefly, without saying semething worthy of consideration. He described the depression as a natural re- action from a condition of unexampled prosperity, largely due to the demand con- nected with the American civil war and the Franco-German contest. During this period, production was forced in every direction, and the wages of skilled labor reached unprecedentedly high figures.

The demand could not continue. It necessarily fell off; and the reaction came. It could not but come; but its effect was greatly deepened by the occurrence of the troubles connected with the Eastern ques-

therewith in England, and by the heedless extravagant proceedings of many business men, who, acting as if the good times were never to cease, indulged in the wildest speculations, when, warned by the signs of the approaching temptest, they should have conducted their affairs with the utmost caution and prudence.

Mr. Palmer, the banker in question, pointed, as an example, to the conduct of the Glasgow Bank Managers, and to the terrific crash in which it culminated. In his judgment a financial disaster of such magnitude had not occurred in Great Britain before since the year 1825. How- ever, he found consolation in the fact that the great banking system of the country was passing through the crisis unshaken. Mr. Palmer embraced the opportunity to speak of the beneficent functions exercised during the panic by the great institution over which he presides. Upon the whole the tone of his speech was encouraging.

Gems of Thought.

No man ever stated his griefs as lightly as he might do.

The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.

Love, faith, patience—the three essentials to a happy life.

Love is lowliness; on the wedding ring sparkles no jewel.

How can’at thou be a judge of another's heart, who dost not know thy own.

Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

To enjoy a thing exclusively is commonly to exclude yourself from the true enjoyment of it.

The best of all prayer is. to act with a pure intention, and with a continual refer- ence to the wil! of God.

We are often governed by people not only weaker than ourselves, but even by those whom we think so.

We are haunted by an ideal life, and it is because we have within us the beginning and possibility of it.

Ever since the time of Christi, the Divine Helmsman has been steering the world straight towards the lighthouse of love.

It is with narrow souled people as with narrow-necked bottles ; the less they have in them the more noise they make in pour- ing it out.

With time everything vanishes and de- cays, except the virtue of the true, which will stand like a rock, and guard them un. harmed forever.

Never lose an ee of seeing any- thing beautiful. uty is God’s hand- writing—«a wayside sacrament ; welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank Him for it, the fountain of loveliness ; and drink it in, simply and earnestly, with your eyes ; it is a charmed draught—a cup of blessing.

When John Wesley died, in 1791, there were in connection with Methodish 312 ministers, 115 circuits, 16 mission stations and 79,000 members ; now it is estimated there are 30,000 itinerant preachers, 60,- 000 local preachers, and 19,000,000 adher-
