Bishop Courtney. THE EPISCOPAL VISITATION nrs ARRIVAL IN CHARLOTTETOWN —LAYING THE FOUNDA-
TION STONE OF THE HODGSON MEMORIAL CHAPEL, ATTACHED TO ST. PETER 'S CHURCH.
The new Bishop of Nova Scotia arrived by steamer Princess of Wales last night, His Lordship being accompanied the Rev. Mr. Lancaster, of Halifax (his Chaplain) the Rey. S. Weston-Jones, of St. Paul's, Charlottetown, Mrs. Poole, Mr. Ings, L. H. Davies, and F. H. Arnaud. Represent- ative members of the churches of St. Paul and St. Peter, amongst whom were the Revs. J. Simpson and Fred. E. J. Lioyd, Mr. Cundall, F. Brecken, L. H. Davies, E. J. Hodgson, W. L. Cotton, F. T. New- bery, P. Pope and L. W. Watson assem- bled upon the wharf to welcome the newly- consecrated prelate who, after having kind- ly received a few persons, drove off to the residence of the Rev. 8S. Weston- Jones, whose guest His Lordship will be during his stay in town. Bishop Courtney's tour through the Island on this his primary visitation thereof, will be an extended one, and we bespeak for His Lordship, who has endeared himself to all who have had the pleasure of his acquaint- ance in a remarkable drgree, a hearty and unanimous welcome from our fellow Islanders. We hear, with pleasure, that a large number of persons, of varying ages are to be presented to His Lordship for Confirmation by the Church of England clergy, and a few churches and burial grounds to be consecrated.
This afternoon at 2.30 Bishop Courtney began his episcopal labors in the Island by laying the corner-stone of the Hodgson Memorial Chapel at St. Peter’s Church. The service on this occasion was similar to that used for laying the corner-stone of “ All Saints,” the Centennial Cathedral in Halifax on the 12th of August in last year. St. Peter's choir formed in proces- sion in the Quadrangle, and wended their way to the scene of the ceremony singing ‘« Onward, Christian Soldiers,” to Arthur Sullivan's famous tune. In the procession we noticed, in addition to the Bishop, his Chaplain and tlie priests of St. Peter’s, the Rev. S. Weston-Jones and Rev. T. W. Johnstone .
Arrived on the platform prepared for the Bishop, clergy and choir, His Lordship be- gan the impressive service in a rich, clear voice :
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who hath made Heaven and earth.
’. O Lord hear our prayer.
. And let our prayer come unto thee
. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
From this time forth for ever more.
. The Lord be with you.
. And with the Spirit. LET US PRAY.
Lord have mercy, etc.
Christ have mercy, etc.
Lord have mercy, etc.
Our Father, etc.
The Bishop then said s number of collects.
Then, the lime being prepared and all
“
wandn-
things ready, the Bishop assisted the builder in placing the stone, saying :—
In the faith of Jesus Christ, we place this foundation stone in the name of God _ the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Amen. Here let true faith, the fear of God and
brotherly love ever remain : this place is dedi-
cated to prayer and to the praise of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who ever liveth, &z., &c.
The trowel used by His Lordship
is a very beautiful work of art. I[t is of solid silver richly engraved. At the point of the trowel is a copy of the design used as the seal of the church—St. Peter’s Cross and Keys—with the inscription: ‘* Pasce a1gnos neas, pysce oves meas,” (** Feed my lambs, feed my sheep.”) Under this is 4 large circle containing the following in- scription, ‘‘ Used by the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia when laying the corner stone of Chapel erected in memory of George Wright Hodgson, Priest cujus anime, Deus propitietur, Charlottetown, P. E. 1., June 2, 1888.” The remainder of the blade of the trowel is filled with scroll work. It was made by Messrs M. S. Brown & Co., Halifax.
A glass bottle containing the following among other papers, etc., was placed within the foundation stone :
Photograph of Kev. Gee. W. Hodgson,
Memorial Card of Rev. Geo. W. Hodgson.
Copy of his ‘Notes for Confirmation Classes.”
Preas Notices of his Death and Burial.
Daily Papers, June |.
Badges and books of the of the Church.
Newspaper accounts of different events in the history of St. Peter’s Church.
Medals of the Church of Englani Temper- ance Society.
Congregational Reports of St. Peter's Chureh. , r =
Diocesan Society Reports.
Prince Edward Island Coins.
Copy of Office for Laying the Corner Stone,
The stone being laid, the hymn, ‘* The Church’s One Foundation,” was heartily sung by the choir and the large number of persons present, the instrumental accom- paniment to this, asto the other hymns being very satisfactorily supplied [by five members of the St. Peter's Boys’ Brass Band. At the conclusion of the hymn the following psalms were sung to their appro-
riate Gregorian tones in Helmore’s
ealter :-
Her foundations are upon the holy hills: the Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Vary excellent things are spoken of thee: thou city of God.
I wil! think upon Rahab and Babylon: with them that know me.
Behold ye the Phillistines also : and they of Tyre, with the Morians ; lo, there was he born.
And of Zion it shall be repoated that he was born inher: and the Most High shall stablish her.
The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth up the people ; that he was born there.
The singers also and the trumpeters shall > rehearse: All my fresh springs shall be in
ee.
Glory be to the Father, &c.
Asit was in the beginning, &c.
I was glad when they said untome: We will go into the house of the Lord.

As it was in the beginning, &c.
V. The Lord be with you,
The services concluded with several pray ers. And then the following address was read and presented to Bishop Courtney by Hon. T. H. Haviland, on behalf of the Church Wardens of St. Peter's :
To the Right Reverend, the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia. May rt PLease Your Lorpsair,—
Representing the congregation of St. Peter's Church, Charlottetown, we gladly take advan- tage of the occasion of your Lordship’s pri- mary visitation of this Island, to offer you most hearty welcome, with submissive defer- ence and gratulation.
Immediately upon being informed of the fact of your Lordship’s election to this Dio- cese, our Priest Incumbent with, and on be- half of this Congregation, offered you our con- gratulations, and this we are now anxious to emphasize, by a more formal testimony to the grateful satisfaction we feel that the choice of the Synod, under Almighty God, resulted in your Lordsh ip,s unanimous election.
Already we have bad most comforting as- surance that in your Lordship, the Chureh in the Diocese of Nova Scotia may boast of a champion of ‘The Faith once delivered to the Saints,” who will guard valiantly and un- flinchingly, all the interests of the ‘‘ One Catholic and Apostolic Church;” and it is with deepest gratitude that we acknowledge the kindness and support shown by your Lord- ship to our Priest Incumbent, under trying circumstances.
It is most comfortable to be able to feel as- sured that in the successor to our late Father in God, Hibbert, fourth Bishop of Nova Scotia, we can levingly reverence a prelate, wedded to the dearest interests of that portion of the Catholic Churoh, in which our lot has been cast, and we earnestly pray to Almighty God that your Lordsnip’s rule may be exten ded ad multus annos and that you may see your charge advancing in power to His greater Glory.
It is a source of especial pleasure to us, that the occasion of your Lordship’s first public appearance in this portion of your Diocese, has been at the laying of the foundation stone of a chapel erected to the memory of our late revered Incumbent, and in connection with the church which our late Bishop designated as the cathedral of this Island, and in which he directed his chair to be placed.
With our congratulations and welcome, we therefore beg to offer your Lordship our hearty and very sincere thanks.
Believe us to be Your Lordship’s obedient servants, W. H. Stewakt, . Lawrence W. Watson, M. A, ARTHUR PETERS, Churchwardens St. Peter's
Charlottetown, June 2, 188 8.
The Bishop responded with a short, ap- propriate, and eloquent address.
After the Bishop had given the blessing, the choir and clergy forming into pro- cession, returned to the Schoolroom to the jubilant strains of the hymn
‘* Rejoice ye pure in heart.”
—The St. Jame's Gazette says: ‘‘ The people of Canada are waking up to the fact that it is not the best thing for them to have the halt, maim and blind of East London ‘‘dumped down” all over their territory. This simple pallaitive to over population has been found very useful here, and there are a dozen excellent organizations for supplying Canada with our social refuse. The emigrants do not altogether enjoy themselves, but they, poor things, have often little choice ; and the Canadian press is getting very excited. Meantime we generously receive any quan- tity of European paupers, and as we are quite content to leave the evil unchecked, perhaps the Canadians should be as _ long- suffering. But they do not seem to think so.”
— A material change has been effected in the Constitution of the Colony of Bermuda; The Council—which formerly consisted of nine members, who sat in hoth the Execu- tive and Legislative Council—has been divided, and there are two Councils now, the former consisting of the senior military officer, who, in the absence of the Gover- nor, succeeds to the administration of the Government, the Colonial Secretary, the Receiver-General, the Attorney-General, and the two senior unofficial members of the Council. These form the Executive Council, whiist the Legislative Chamber consists of ten members, namely, the Chief Justice (President), the Colonial Secretary, the Receiver-General, and seven unofficial mem bers.

DAILY EXAMINER, ee ttn
Varia.
One of the editors of the Pall Mal Gazette has created much sensation by pub lishing the results of a pilgrimage he ha lately made to Paris, Berlin and St, Peters burg, to endeavor to find out what are th: chances of peace being preserved. Every where, he says, he is assured that war wil not be declared by either of the nations hi has yet visited. Dering his stay in Berlit he met Sir Morrell Mackenzie, and the im pressions he received from the eminent phy sician have been embodied in the article b which allusion has just been made. Fron this it seems almost certain that the greit English specialist was invited to attend tle Crown Prince, as he then was, by the Ger man doctors. It is said that had it n¢ been for the interposition of Bismarck the Prince would have had his lary nax cut out last May. Seeing that only three of those who have submitted to ths operation have since recovered, it may pe inferred that but for this interposition, Frederick I[I. would never have ascended the throne.
**
It appears now, that the stormy scene in the Imperial Parliament over the alleged inefticiency of the British army and navy, of which we have heard so much was noth ing more than a got-up affair. The Daily Telegraph some time ago published an article on the question, and the result was the scene in Parliament. Lord Hardinge
asked a question of the Commander-in- Chief, who happened (by accident?) to be present in the House, and was answered on the spot. The article stated that it was in- spired by ‘‘ the highest military authority,” and the Duke of Cambridge replied that he had always supposed himseif to be the highest military authority, and he certain- ly had not inspired the article, The Prime Minister thereupon made a violent speech against that ‘‘lower military jauthority,” whom it was easy to see meant Lord Wol- sely, the Adjutant- General. Among other things Lord Salisbury took exception to
many of the speeches made by Lord Wolseley at public dinners. Not long ago he had said that every new ad-
ministration upon coming into office, endeavored to obtain a clap-trap re- putation by cutting down the expenses of the Army and Navy. Lord Salisbury re- minded the House that his Government was the last administration whieh had come into office, and concluded by saying that when the Adjutant-General had any fault to find or any charge to bring he would make it ‘there in this forym,” where the ministers could defend themselves.
+ *
*
Accordingly, a few nights afterwards, Lord Wolseley replied to the charge in a House that was more crowded than at any time during the session. He said, in de- fence of himself, that he had had nothing at all todo with the article in the Daily Telegraph ; that he had no idea whatever, in the speech referred to, of finding fault with the Government, and that he left it to the Duke of Cambridge, who was head of the Army, to answer all military ques- tions that might arise in the House. But after thus excusing himself; he was not afraid to say before the House what he really did think of the Army and Navy: that better protection was wanted for our home ports and naval stations, and more efficient nayal and land forces ; and he aftirmed that his opinions were shared by nine out of ten of those whose opinions were worth having.
A committee of the Imperial Parliament, presided over by Lord Dunraven, is bring- ing out some terrible revelations as to the condition of the poorest of the poor in London. The aim of the committee is to remedy what is known as the *‘ sweating “4 system. The “sweaters” are middlemen who get work from large houses and let it out for the lowest sum they can get it done for. Sometimes two or three agents, all of whom have their commission, come be- tween the large house and the struggling workers. These poor people are forced, in order to obtain a livelihood, to work six- teen and eighteen hours a day, and at the end of a week the amount of their earnings is, perhaps, ten shillings. The worst of it is that if any of them refuse to work for the pitiful sum offered, there are thousands of others ready to do so in their stead. A terrible instance of the ‘system came to light in Londbn only a few days ago. It was stated that well made leather boots with hob nails and tips could be supplied for the children in one of the large charity schools at sixpence a puir (twelve cents. ) Of course the boots may have been bank- rupt stock, otherwise ‘‘ sweating ” must be the cause of their cheapness. It is to be hoped that the committee will succeed in stamping out this evil which is very wide- spread. c

I have been asked for some information as to the office of Poet-Laureate. He is an official of the Royal Household of the Sovereigns of England, appointed by the King himself. I believe that the appell- ation originated in a custom of the English Universities of presenting a laurel wreath to graduates in versification. The salary is one hundred pounds per annum and a cask of wine, which latter emolyment was under Southey’s tenancy of ,the office commuted
pounds. It used to be the duty of the Laureate to write an ode on every birthday of the Sovereign, but this custom has happily long since been abolished. It would seem that the first appointment was made in Edward the Fourth’s reign. The follow- ing, I believe, is a correct list of the Poets Laureate, with the dates of their appoint- ments :—
Appointed, 1470. John Watson. 1485. Andrew Bernard.
1489. John Skelton. 1512. Robert Whittington. 1553. Edmund Spencer, 1599. Samuel Daniel. 1619. Ben Johnson. 1637. Wm. Davenant. 1670. John Dryden. 1688. Thomas Shadwell. 1692. Nahum Tate. 1715. Nicholas Rowe. 1718. Lawrence Eusden.
1730. 1757.
Colley Cibber. Wm. Whitehead.
1785. Thomas Warton.
1790. Henry James Pye.
1813. Robert Southey.
1843. Wm. Wordsworth. e 1850. Lord Tennyson.
