Laurier is one of the very few personally popular members of the Grit Party. By his elevation they, doubtless, hope to re- gain the loss of strength they have suffers ed in Quebec, Put they are mistaken. The ball is rolling ; t cannot be stop- ped even by such plausible politician as M. Laurier.

To the kditor of the Daily Examiner :
Mr. Epitor,—There are at present in
Charlottetown about two thousand juvens iles ranging from five to seventeen years of age. In addition to these, about one hun.« dred and fifty more are in from the country districts, attending the Colleges and Nor« mal School. All, or a great majority of these two thousand one hundred and fifty youths should and must attend school dure ing some portion of the twelve montbs. All who attend schools and colleges should certainly hive convenient satchels or port- folios in which to carry their books and other applinnces to and from school, These satcheis should be made of strong carpet, cloth or pliable, thin, but tough leather. They shouid be of three sizes; the smallest
together, twelve inches from the mouth to the bottom, and nine inches wide, The second size fifteen by twelve inches, and the third or largest size eighteen by fifteen inches. Letsome one of our tailors or harness makers make up a couple of thoa- sands of these, and they will command a ready sale, if sold at a reasonable price. Yours, ete., PEDAGOGUE. Sept. 5, 1877.

Prince Charies of Roumania has issued a manifesto announcing that he bas been ap- pointed to the command of the Russian and Roumanian armies before Plevna, that it was the duty of the Koumanians to cross the Danube and encounter the Turks in their own territory, because the war was approaching the Roumanian frontiers.
It is stated that Osman Pasha’s attack on rhe Russian position at Pelista was one of the most hardly fought battles of the war.
A sortie from Rustchuk is reported, in which the Russians were defeated.
The Turkish reconnoisance in force against the Muscovite portion of Pehisat, ou the Slst ult., proved more disastrou; to the Ottomans than was first reported, being estimated that their loss in killed and wounded reached 2,000, while their Opponents lost not over 50, In the course of one hour a redoubt was taken by the Turks, restaken by the Russians, ogain taken by the Turks. The close of the bat- tle is described as follows: The Turks ads vanced-on the Rassian trenches under a terrible fire, but was completely broken. They withdrew suddenly, firing and carry- ing off their wounded and many of their dead. They fell back on a redoubt which they had first taken, apparently with the intention of holding it, but they were not allowed to remain there long. Another attack on the Russian centre had been equally as unsuccessful as that on the Russ sian trenches on the left. The Russians ; pursued the retreating Turks with a mur- derous fire, and then six companies went st them with the bayonet and swept them out of the redoubt like a whirlwind. 4 o’clock the Turks were in retreat every~ where, and the Russians occupied the whole of their first position’, besides pur, suing the Turks a short distance with cavs | alry. The Russians were about 20,000 strong.
