LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. | ea
ea
| S1r,—The Patriot's Souris correspondent seems to be very much troubled, of Jate, over the wrecked schooner ‘**‘ Welcome.” Under a pretence of charity he has attacked ‘Mr. Richard Garret for having charged for assisting ta burying five of the crew of the illfated vessel. He is not honest enough, |however, to tell the public that when Mr. , Garret foxnd that others who assisted were not disposed to charge, he at once generous- ly handed back the amount to Mr. Himmel-
man. Notwithstanding this, the Patriot’s
| writer calls Mr. Garret a low vile man, and | worst of all,aJ. P., appointed by a Con- ‘servative Government. Just here is where the trouble arises. Grit and that’s what’s the matter with the Patriot and its scriblers. he would be all right in their eyes, no matter what he might do either as a man or a Magistrate. He might board the **Phoenix” ‘at the dead hour of night, be gatfed through a port hole, and afterwards marched off—to the tune of the Rogue’s March—in front of three marines to trial, and still maintain a high piace in their esti- mation. The ‘‘ Welcome,” let me say, is not the first wreck that has been seen in these parts; and every wreck has had a history ot its own, in which no one is better posted than the Patrict correspondent him- self.
Mr. Garret can afford to treat the sland- erous attack made upon his character with silent contempt. .He is too favorably known in the community in which he has resided for over a quarter of a century to require any certificate for honesty, industry and uprightness of character. It would, indeed, be well of the malicious scribler for the Patriot if he were half as respectable a man.
Thanking you in advance for space in your valuable journal, I remain,
Yours, &c., A NEIGHBOUR.

Premier Smith’s Faith.
The Hon. William Smith, Premier of British Columbia, in response to a toast ata dinner lately given .a party of the Press, said:—
“The annexation of any part of British Columbia to the United States is impossible. Time will certainly cause the annexation of the Pacific coast section of the United States to British Columbia. Through British Col- umbia the pathway to Asiatic trade is 1,000 miles shorter than via San Francisco, which has about reached its limit. Portland could not carry across the bars of Columbia River Asia’s magnificent commerce. It is a matter of deep conviction with me, and of many others who have attentively considered the drift of affairs in the United States, that that country cannot continue undivided. Its elements of population are too varied, the interests of different sections are too diverse, and the day must come when it must go to pieces, and when that day comes British Columbia will be glad to take into her arms that fragment of it which is her natural neighbor.”
The Population of Canada.
The increase in the population of Canada of immigration will, this year, reach nearly, if not quite, 150,000 souls. Up to the close of ‘August we had received from abroad 82,560 settlers, or 14,000 more than in the corresponding period in 1882, in which year about 115,000 persons entered the Dominion with the intention of settling here. According to the correspondent of the Globe, the tide of immigration passing through Winnipeg, though not so heavy as in the spring, still continues to pour into the country at the rate of one thousand a week at least, and will increase. A great many men who came up early in the season alone, ov with one or two of the boys, will be followed in the fall by the rest of the family. On an average, he says, five cars go West from Winnipeg every morning, crowded with settlers and a few tourists and others who are on a summer trip through the Northwest. Most of the people coming in now are from Europe, and chiefly from Great Britain. Last week about four hundred Icelanders arrived, and some went to a point on the North Assiniboine west of Portage la Prairie, and others to Lake Winnipeg, where there are flovrishing settlements of their country-

Communion Wine.
| It is a well known fact that when fer- mented wine is used for Sacramental pur- poses the reformed drunkard cannot put the sacred cup to his lips without ineurring the danger of a relapse intu former habits. “One of the members of our church told me that before we gave up using intoxicating Wine, it was with the greatest difficulty that he was able to resist taking more after the taste was excited,” writes a deacon in a /western church; and this man’s experience is that of many. For this reason, if for no other, churches should be careful to use un- fermented wine, and they would no doubt be glad to do so if they knew how to obtain that article. Miss Willard, in her book entitled ‘‘Woma» and Temperance,” tells |how the problem was solved in a church in 'an American city. The lady who solved it, says: ‘Some time ago our church decided not to use fermented wine, but somehow a jsort of logwood decoction got into the the chalices, which was entirely out of place and harmful to our cause. Some of the deacons said, ‘We cannot have such a mix- ture as this—it will not answer’; and they were right. The matter troubled me. At last I said to my husband, ‘I can’t go out much tothe temperance meetings, or take an active part in the work of the Woman's Union, but I can prepare wine enough for cur church of eight hundred members for all the Communions of this year, and [|] do so.’ It was no easy undertaking. It kept me in my kitchen. wide awake, and on the alert for several days; but I’ve got the wine all bottled up, and the people are well pleased with it.” ‘‘Let some lady m each church,” says Miss Willard, ‘*‘go and do likewise, and she wil! have helped our many- sided cause in a noble, eflicient way.” This Jady’s recipe is as follows:—
Take twenty pounds Concord grapes and add two quarts of water. After crushing the grapes put them into a porcelain kettle; when ata boiling heat the juices separate from the pulp and skins, Then strain through a tin sieve or cullender, using a little more water; add six pounds granu- lated sugar. After the sugar is all dis- solved, strain through a thick cloth. Then heat hot and pour immediately into stone bottles, and seal tightly while hot. The above will make three gallons, and if prop- erly put up will keep any length of time; but all air must be kept from it till wanted for use. Itis better to use bottles that will hold the quantity needed for each Communion.
A Montreal lady has for a number of years prepared all the wine used in the church to which she belongs, from a very similar recipe at the small cost of 25 cents a bottle. Her plan is as follows:
Take 25 pounds of grapes and a pound of sugar, mixed with a quart of water; bring to the boil, and when cool squeeze through a jelly bag. Mix the juice with four pounds of sugar, boil 15 minutes, and skim and botile while hot in bottles taken out of boiling water. Seal with bees wax and resin. This makes a very excellent article.
Another well recommended recipe is the following:
Take one gallon grapes, mash them well, add half a gallon of water and let stand in an carthen jar for for three days. Then run off the liquid which is at the bottom, being careful to disturb as little as possible the skins and seeds that have risen to the surface. Add a pound of sugar to each quart of grape juice, bring to the boil, and while at that temperature can in self-sealing jars or sealed bottles.
These directions are published in the hope that temperance ladies throughout the country will take the matter up, and see that the churches are provided with a pure wine for the Communion table. In regions Where grapes are not to be had, arrangements might be made with a Woman’s Christian Temperance Univn in some other place to provide the necessary quantity at a reasonable price.

Was Florida Discovered Before the Age of Columbus ?
(From the St. James’ Gazette.)
At Modena, among the archives of the noble house of Este, a very curious and im portant planisphere, dating from the year 1502, has just been discovered. It was, as appears from a manuscript accompanying it, given to Herculeo d’Este by Cantino, his political agent at Lisbon, and on it are traced the outlines of the New World coun- tries which were discovered by Gaspard Cortereal toward the close of the fifteenth century. Geographers will recognize in this part of the planisphere the prototype of that map of the New World which until the middle of the sixteenth century was usually bound up with Ptolemy’s works; but the valuable relic is mainly remarkable because it apparently proves that the coast of the peninsula of Florida, as well as the eastern portion of what is now the United States, must have been visited by voyagers whose names and nationalities we know nothing of, some time before the discovery of Central America. It, in fact, reopens a question which has never been satisfactorily settled, and affords a powerful argument in favor of those writers who maintain in face of the claims of Vespucci, Colon, and the adventurers of the of Elizabeth and James I, that the Old World shook hands with the new, long ere any of those cele- brated navigators were born or thought of.

Charles Goodnight has the largest cattle ranch in the world at the head of the Red River, Texas. He began buying land four years ago, getting 270,000 acres at thirty- five cents an acre. The price has risen $2 an acre. He is still buying. He controls 700,000 acres. To enclose his lands 250 a of a fence is required. He has 40,000 cattle.
A meeting of twenty members of the ex- treme left was held at Paris on the 20th inst., M. Bardot presiding.

A committee of two was appointed to wait on Prime Minister Ferry, and request him to call the Chambers into session forthwith.
John Woltz, jeweller, was arrested in Winnipeg for conspiracy to defraud the Imperial Bank out of $13,000. Andrews, teller in the bank, became indebted to Woltz in a large sum for diamonds and it is charged that Woltz used the fact to induce Andrews to advance $13,000 of the bank’s funds, giving him twenty-three cheques as security. Andrews has left and is probably over the border. An investigation is pro- ceeding.

There is a passage in one of the novels of Henri Conscience, who recently died, de- lightfully appropriate to the present month. ‘“‘Whence,” asks the great Flemish novelist, —‘‘ Whence comes this sudden fever of travel which thus bestows wings upon souls? It is because a year of toil and care and struggle has come to anend. Judges have judged, lawyers have pleaded, students have worked, people have saved, merchants have calculated, weighed and balanced, but to-day, hurrah! to-day is the month of Sep- tember.”

The Emperor William has appointed King Alfonzo to the honorary command of a Prussian regiment. After the parade a grand dinner was given to the royal visitors.
Six hundred peasants from Gradish end Bellovar assembled at Farkaswinez, on the 2ist instant, armed with muskets, axes and cudgels, shouting “We wont belong to Hungary.” A small body of military at- tempted to disperse the mob, but were re- sisted and compelled to withdraw.
