*‘ Newfoundland would do well to examine carefully the effects of Confederation on ths Island and the other Maritime Provinces. She will learn that our trade has been to a large extent destroyed or forced into un- natural channels by the urion. She may learn, by our experience, what it is to be ground down by enormous burdens of taxation for the purpose of enriching a few wealthy men who supply the Ottawa administration with money to fight electoral contests.”— Patriot.
This is arrant nonsense. If this Pro- vince were out of the Dominion, it would be in precisely the same position, as to that Newfoundland is; and everyone can see that sheis ina much worse position than we are. Imported goods are cheaper here than they are in Newfoundland; and we have a_ free market in our sister Provinees, while the people of Newfoundland are at «a decided disadvantage in the markets of Canada.

to trade, and she would also be in a better position in respect to the Mother Country. On the other hand, she would strengthen the hands of the representatives of mari- time interests ii the Dominion Parliament. We, therefore, hope she may come in. It seems very unlikely, however, that the visit of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario has anything to do with negotiations look- ing towards here entrance into the Con- deration,

She essayed to use a can of kerosene oil, as she had observed her mother do, and an explosion followed.
The child was wrapped in flames and her body burned to a crisp, though she lingered a | few hours before dying. :

Immigrants from Iceland. DETAILS O}
INTERESTING THAT ISLAND,
Mr. Baldwinson, interpreter for the Ice- landers, who arrived at Quebec per steain- ship Norwegian, reports that great distress prevails in Iceland. He says: I was only able to bring the present immigrauts out to Canada with me, they being the only lot able to raise the money to pay their pas- sage, which is $55. The distress in Iceland for the past four years has been terrible and ior the most part unknown to the world. Owing to the continued failure of the grass crop, live stock has been dimin- ishing from want of food, and to cap the climax of their distress a severe snowstorm set in all over that country on the 19th of May last and continued until the 24th of the same month. The storm was so violent and the fall of snow was so great that the pines were actually buried, not to speak of the thousands of sheep and cattle that were also buried alive. When I left the north of Iceland, where I had been detained fur ten days in the ice shortly be- fore coming to this country, scores of the inhabitants had been buried alive under the snow.” Continuing, Mr. Baldwinson said: ‘“Tihe Icelanders make the best of settlers. They are an industrious, sober and thrifty class. The poor people are in great distress at present, as their only means of a livelihood is the raising of live stock, their market being Great Britain. The unfortunate people have at preseut very little to dispose of, however. They are a very kindly disposed people, and take matters as they come without a murmur. When they settle in a new country they are very charitable to their own countrymen, and ever ready tu extend them a helping hand. When this lot reaches Manitoba, the Icelanders who are there already settled will share their house room with the new arrivals and even extend them monetary assistance. Iceland is a little larger than Ireland, and has a popula- tion of 70,009 souls. The people profess the Lutheran religion and are a very deyout and honest race.”
Mr. Baldwinson said that uhousands of the Icelanders would willingly emigrate to this country if they only had the means of doing so, He expects another batch, nam- bermg 700, to come to Canada. in about two weeks time.

The Fisheries Department has concluded the payment of fishing bounties, amounting to $150,000, tothe fishermen of the Lower Provinces.
Masses are being offered up in the Roman Catholic churches at Levis for the speedy stamping out of the diphtheria outbreak, which has made such ravages there.
Captain Stockton, of the wrecked Norwe- gian bark Lina, reports that his vessel left Shediac, N. B., on June 18th, bound to Sharp- ness, with a deal cargo, All went well until 2a. m. on Friday, the 24th, when the ship went ashore at Middle Bay, twelve miles west of Greeley Island, Labrador. A dense fog prevailed at the time, and there was a heavy sea running. The crew subsequently took to the boats and landed. They were ashore two days before they could again find and board their ship, owing to the continued fog. In the meantime, it seems, local wreckers had been at work, and on going on board on the 26th they found the ship completely stripped of her sails and rigging, and everything port. able, including the provisions, carried off. This state of adairs left the ship’s crew with- out provisions, and it was determined to make for Gaspe, where they safely arrived, and where the most of the crew now remain awaiting the action of the Norwegian Consul.

Lobsters and Oysters.
Sin, —It an that a sort.ef Lobster | though there is one serious criminal (
(and Oyster)
various parts of tire Island at the: present | occupy the remaining part
time, What good or harm is to artse from such a Commission lies with the future, | fear very much that the whole thing is decidedly wrong as well as farcical. Mr. Ogden may know something about lobsters, as he is an old Jobster packer, but what does he know about oysters /° Anyway, what sense is there in two or three persons voing through the country at the country’s expense talking up the oyster and lobster business as though they, and they alone,
possess the means of solving the fishery
problem, There is one thing our Inspector and his wardens know, and that is, that the law is being violeted right under their noses every day with regard to the destruc- tion of sinall lobsters ; and before any new laws be enacted or new rules and regula- tions established, some attempt, at least, should be made to enforce the laws we have already on our statute book.
But my object in writing at the present time is to draw attention toa movement that is now being made by some of our lobster packers to have our shores staked off and leased to certain lobster packers.
It is even said that with the view of having this movement carried out,
the oyster-lobster commission has been set on foot, If so, | wish to tell these Fish Couunissioners, that the people of the Is- land will not indorse any such arrangement. The price paid for lobsters is already low enough, but if a monopoly be granted to a few packers, a ring will be at once formed and down will come the prices, Lobster packers deserve every consideration | free- ly admit, but they have no right to expect the Government to give them the exclusive right to eatch lobsters within certain pre- scribed limits. Other people, besides the few packers, are entitled to the privilege of
| voing into the business if they see fit.. And,
[ hold, that it would be most unjust to give to any individual the exclusive right of fish- ing on any portion of our coast.
| trust, therefure, that our people may keep a sharp look out for this newly-made tishery commission. The present Govern- ment will not, I believe, knowingly do any- thing to injure fishermen. _ But then our fishermen have a right; in fact, itis their bounden duty to look after their own inter- ests. No monopolies in the oyster or lob- ster business should be tolerated.
Yours, FIsHERMAN. July 18, 1887.
British and European News.
A German resident of Caudry, Department of Nord, France, writes toa Manheim jour- nal that the anti-German feeling in Caudry is terrible, and that he and other Germans had narrowly escaped being killed. He and his countrymen were insulted in the streets daily, and it was hardly safe to venture out, He would be obliged to move to St. Pierre, as he had no hopes that persecution would cease. The Areuze Zeitung, referring to this letter, says itis intolerable that Germans should have to endure such treatment. France, it says, must be made to understand that there is a ‘“‘thus far and no farther” in the matter. The Deutsches Tagblatt publishes ‘in a promi- nent position a number of verses reminding France that the German hand rests upon the sword.
The Post says: “Count Von Munster, the German Ambassador at Paris, recently re- monstrated with M. Flourens agyainst the violent attacks made upon Germany by the Radical press, especially one article dubbing the Count himself as the ““Grand Master vi the Order of Spiel,” and deseribing the Ger- man embassy as “a nest of reptiles.” Lord Lyons, the British Ambassador, also protest- ed, saying that if such attacks were allowed the position of ambassador would become un- tenable. M. Flourens was sincerely grieved, and expressed himself in most conciliatory terms, “
Gladstone, at a bancyet given by the Scot- tish commoners of the National Liberal Club, in responding to a toast, said one effect of the exhaustive discussion of the Irish question in Parliament was the bringing-before the Welsh and Scotch people the necessity for local legislatures im accordance with their national! traditions. He denied any alliance between liberals and nationalists of which either party need be ashamed. He declared whatever alliance existed was independent. The Par- nellites were free to join the Tories if they thought such a union was to their advantage. Gladstone said his anxiety to effect a settle- ment of the Irish question would prevent him from limiting himself to hisown views. | He would endeavor to promote any settlement that would fulfil two absolute conditions, the first of which was to satisfy the Irish people, and the second to have nothing to do with a settlement that would in any way threaten the greatness of the empire.
The British Union Liberals are feeling more and more the tension of; their position. To allow the land bill to pass in its present shape will, in connection with coercion, be the utter annihilation of that faction. They have al- ready broken their pledges with their consti- tuencies by allowing the crimes bill to go through, and if they go on and rule out a re- vision of rents they will certainly be swampéd in the next election. But the trouble, poli- tically, is that Lovd Hartington ‘is opposed to an advanced land ‘ill, and in this particular is quite as conservative as Salisbury himself. The whole situation turns upon the ability of these unionists to harmonize among them- selves,
Two Scotch fishwives in London were talk- ing about the Jubilee the other day. ‘ Eh, wumman,” said one to the other, ‘can ye tell me what a jubilee is, for I hear a’ the folk spaking about it?’ ‘Ou, ay,” replied the other, ‘‘I can tell ye that; ye see, when a man anda wumman has been marrit for five and twenty year, that’s a siJler waddin’; and when they've been marrit for fifty year that’s a gouden waddin’; but when the man’s dead that’s a jubilee !’—Hzx .
Of late years society in England has made a rush into trade, perhaps to compensate for the inroad trade has made into society. It is an open secret that one member of the arisro- cracy is a bookmaker, another keeps a cigar- e'te shop, a third is a dressmaker, while two or three members have clubbed tegether dnd started a washing company. ‘Madame. Lili, of Oxford street, better known as Mrs. Packling- ton, made upwards of 500 bonnets for Ascot week alone. This lady is much to be congrat- ulated on her well merited success, for she has extraordinary taste, energy and pluck.
