' its wealth, and the large quantities of goods ite people consume, there can be no doubt that the Island bears its full share of the public burdens, and is fully en itled to a | fair share of the money expended. | Last evening membeis of the press were taken tosee the lower regions of the Par- hament Building. The scencs they saw |were certainly not 8° terribly uavic as | those portrayed by Dant.’, but as il ustra- | tions of the triumphs of science they are }quite as wonderful, Every visitor must /remark the warm equable temperature | which pervades it, the perfect ventilation, }the absence of all offensive smells, the |liberal supply of hot and cold water, the |briliant lights by which the halls and corridors are, after nightfall, illuminated But few know that in the basement of the building are nine large steam engines noisel-ssly working, and two of the most improved electrodynamo machines to wencrate electricity with boilers, in which shout ten cords of hard wood are consumed each day; and searcely any one is aware that the pure air they so much enjoy is drawn through a large doek extending from the river's bank, and, after being heated to the proper temperature, distributed oyer the building by means of enormous fans, and a perfeet system of ventilation; or that |in less than a minute, during recess as well as while Parliament is in | Session, a forec of waier can be obtained sufficient to send a stream over the highest tower in the building. But these are ithe facts as explained tothe members of the Press who are here, by Mr. Arnoldi, the Engineer. The electric lamps it may be mentioned, give a fine soft steady light; but the gas hue is exeéllent, and does not suffer much in the comparison to which it is subjected.

Notes.

Hon. Senator Montgomery celebrated his seventy sixth birthday on Saturday last, and received the warm congratulations of his friends on the robust health he ehjoys.

The very sudden death of Mr. Alpheus Todd, L. L. D., Parliamentary Librarian, fol- lowing so close upon the unexpected death of Senator Bourinot, was a great shock to the Capital. Hewas a librarian for over th'r'y years, and has left the library in as good order as it could be. He was one of the best read men in Canada; and, as everyone knows, one cf the highest author- ities on Parliamentary practice in the Britith Emp re. Mr. Martin J. Griffin, editor of The Mail, Toronto, and Mr. Dawson, the great Canadian publisher, are mentioned as likely to succeed to the office he has left vacant.

It seems likely that the seasion will be a pretty lively one, The Opposition are in etter spirits than they have been for some ine past; for they think they see a fair prospect of bad times in Canada and their return to power, On the other hand the Government and their supporters were never in hetter time to meet the attacks of their opponents

It is amusing to hear the Grits deplore the financial condition of Canada and the difficulties Sir Leonard is (they say) likely to meet in obtaining money to pay for the debentures which will be mature on the Slst _December next Asif the financial position were likely to be improved by their accession to power, or as if times were not much worse both in Free Trade England and in the United States, where the duties imposed are higher than they are here; or as if Sir Leonard is not absolutely certain to place the loan’ he will require on better terms than the debt to be covered by it. eae

Showing a large reduction in quantity and value, though not a very large reduc- tion in the amount of duty obtained. It is noted that less liquor per head of the populatioa is consumed in P, E. Island than in any other Province of Canada. Whether this fact is due to a better moral- ity ! or whether our people generally have higher respect for themselves? or are

Agricultural Education.

Tue agriculturists of this Province are deeply indebted to the Hon, D. Ferguson for his recent lecture. With usual inde- pendence, and zeal Province, this gentleman has discussed the great question of Agricultural Eljucation with that candor and exactness that unites all parties in a desire for reform. It is evi- dent we have long continued a system of public instruction that has filled the Count- ing Houses and Professions till they are ridiculously crowded. The state has not informed our youth in agricalture, and the result is large tracts of land in different parts of the Island are uncultivated, and farms once tilled are vacant @id neylected, The expense of the Prince ot Wales College might be discon- tinued. This institution is now filled with the students of a Normal School, with the exception of fifteen or twenty pupils who

belong to Charlottetown, and who wizht, |

With much profit to themselves, attend the city schools. If it were not for those few pupils, the annual cost of the Normal

School might be redaced one-ha'f, and thae| ports w.th no further expease to the country, the ae services of a Professor in agricul:ure could peredite

be ootained. J have heard several com- mend the sentiments of your c rrespou “O. K.” of 23rd inst. I trust he will con- tinue to write upon a gubject im wee?

for the welfgre of our |

lent swell the at

of the other Provinces ? or whether the im- provement which has certainly taken place ‘is due to temperance agitation and the Scott Act ?—these are questions which ‘readers of Tue Examiner may determine |as they chose.

According to the returns, the people of P. E. Island pay a higher percentage of | duties on the total value of the goods they gonsume than those of any other Province, ‘except British Columbia, and at the rame time they pay the lowest amount per head. The percentage of duty on the value of goods entered for consumption in the Island is 23.76; in Ontario, it is $17.24; in ‘Quebec, 19.37; in Nova Scvtia, 20.28; in |New Brunswick, 20.85; in Manitoba, 18.95; ‘Columbia, 23.76 But the amounts of (duties per head of the population paid in ‘each Province are ; Outatio, $3.98; Quebec, | $6.80; Nova Scotia, $4.16; New Brunswick, |$4 71; Manitoba, $9.02; British Columbia, | $18.33, avd P, E. Island $1.53. How is it | that the Island is almo-t the highest in one | gase and the lowest in the other? It seems |as though both statements are apt to mis- ‘lead, unless the large and increasing inter- | provincial trade of the country 1s kept well ‘intview. The Island is every year import- ing,more dutiable goods by way ‘of Mon- | treal, Halifax, St. John, etc. These im- = are not taken into account by the ms officials in the Isand—they are
