—Generai Lord Wolsely when review. ing the camel corps, composed of Dra- goou Guards, at Suakim, urged the men to perfect themselves in their novel duties as they would be wanted for the Nile iu the Autaumo.

‘itis unfortunate in the extreme that the company should be compelled to ask further assistance. It is unfortnnate that it should have been cornpelled to ask aa- sistance last year. Wout for the insensate and traitorous conduct of the Canadian Grits, working in alliance with a foreign railway company, and ia aid of a fereign territory; in which many of their leaders own land, probably given to them for the purpose of se- curing their e»-operation, neither the additional grant of this year nor that of fast year would have been needed. The resources of the company would have been ample had not those people succeeded in depreciating its bonds, and retarded the settlement of its lands. But they did scceed ; and, as a portion of the Canadian people managed to injure the great Cana- dian work, the whole of the people must pay the penalty.”

— The actual! revenne of the United States Government for the first pine months of the current fiscal year has been $240,000,000, and for the full period of twelve months it is expected to reach $513,500,000, or about sixteen and a half millions less than the estimate made by Secretary McCulloch in Decem.- ber last. The expenditure is placed at $294,500 000, including provision for the sioking fund, leaving a surplus of $19,500,000. Four years ago, iv 1881-2, the total revenue reached $403.,- 900,000, since which time it has beeu steadily diminishing, and will, in the current year, fal! $90,000,000 short of the collection of 1881-2. The Wash- ington correspondent of the New York Herald, commenting on these figures, re- marks: We have evidently fallen on & period of necessary economy and reform. There will be no great surplus 'o waste on river and harbor jobs, apd the secretary of the treasury may think himself well off if he can serape together surplus evongh with which to continue to buy $2,000,000, worth of silver per month to stick into the treasury vaults to depreciate on his hands. The silver dollar, of which the Government pow owus $163,000,000, bought with the surplus reveoue, was worth uinety-three cents when we began to coin it, and is now worth Only eighty-three cents

TELE: “The Promise in Canadian Literature.”

W aILe every nation of any magnitude | has a distinctive literature, Canada is almost barren in ths respect, unless a few iveomplete and meagre historical works are accepted as supplying the deficiency. Nor is this lack atoned for by provincial works of any great merit. Go, for instance,into our Legislative Library, and you will notdind on its shelves above a dozen distiuetively

| Canadian, or, we should rather say, pro 'vineial works, embracing only Tuttle’s History of Canada, Campbell's Histories of Nova Scotia aod P. E. Island, Han nays History of Nova Scotia, Dawson's |} Acadian Geology, Grant’s Ocean to, | Ocean, anda few yelumes of similar! ;uature. You look in vain for a complete | ‘set of such Canadian works as might aod | should be there, showing the light appre- | ciation in which they are held by those who have stocked that library.

abounds. Newspapers and periodicals have been the principal chanuels of Canadian literature, which has been mainly of a political character, aud if a more aspiring geuius has cecasionally stepped out of that beaten path, the com- petition he met from English and Ameri- can authors, and the uarrow provincial prejudice he had to couteud with, event- ually disheartened him, and deterred others trom following in his steps. Composed of provinces whose interests are so diverse, and peopled by the cbild-

some time before Canada, as a nation, will be thoroughly Canadian, possessing a distinctive literature. Each province has itsjown peculiar and special prejudices to be softened or melted down, so that our literature may remain for some time to come as it has been ip the past, more provincial than Canadian. “A Western literateur,” says W. Philips Robivson in the Current, “is surprised to meet in the city of Quebee men of considerable ability and local repute, and the converse is equally true. Every effort to produce a vational authem or song, has met with failure. - By bitter experieuce the authors have come to see how vain it is to attempt the construction of a national literature upon a_ provincial basis.” English and American fittion— too much of the latter morbid and un- healty trash,—is greedily perused, while the limited number of Canadian works of equal or much greater merit, will not repay the cost of publication, and become food for moths. Bare notoriety,—we can hardly use the term fame,—-will not tempt our best writers to plume their pinions for brilliant flights: they peed something more tangible to assist them up the Parnassan mount.

** Even had Contederatiou,” says the writer above quoted, ‘accomplished all that was hoped from it, however, and succeeded in fusing the various dis- ‘cordant elements—as iu America the different nationalities seem to merge—it is questionable whether a people so com- posed would have produced a distinctive literature. Had the Saxons disappeared before the Norman hordes, instead of intermiagling with their conquerors, the England of to-day might have been a mere Freuch colouy, and English litera ture unknown. The nation with a really distinct literature has usually been cradled tu barbarism, nurtured in tradi- tion and mythology, throngh which it struggled to civilized mavhood.” He thea proceeds to point out the first steps io the path to a national literature. “Put Canada came almost full grown. Her pioneers re- fused to mingle with the aboriginal iu- habitant (?), swept away the native religion and tradition without even taking note of them, and ruthlessly destroyed what the literary student of to-day would give his ears to possess.”

Here, then, we have pointed out to us the wide field of pioneer life, of tradition aud the relics of Indian legend, the early history of the country, a vast avd com- peratively unexplored mine of literary wealth. Our nation is young, but her history has not yet been half told. There ig ample room for an exhaustive and complete history of each Province prior to Confederation, and for a collective political history of the subsequent years, aud even now bistorical material is being rapidly deve'oped on the broad plains of the West. There is a pleasiug prospect in the not distant future for the poet avd historian, whose office is to rescue, in all their dark shades or bright hucs, the fast dying traditions and almost forgotten legendary lore of the years that are recedivg into the dim vistas of the past. The harvest is ready for the reapers, and the work is enticing ; the mine is lying ready to yield up its boun- teous ‘reasures to the genius of the delver. Many pioneers are yet living who can afford a fund of rare story, but they are rapidly passing away, and this knowledge should be garnered for coming geverations before the last sur- viving actors of the past are called to their rest. he s'raggle of the pioneers and the red men, their treaty makings and couvcils, their huntings aud feast- ings, their deaths and burials, their every memory, that the rivers, valleys and

cheered the weary portages around, foaming rapids; the tales told around the glowing camp fires as the night, winds sighed about them in the weird | forests; and all the varied trials, and troubles, and hopes, of early pioneer lite, may be reinvested with . action, and surrounded with the beautiful | scenery that did really inoframe them in | the past. ‘The fascinating story of old Acadi:, in its glory of le bon temps, has never been half told. There yet remains material for a dozen “Evangelines” or uovels of equal merit and interest with those of Cooper.

There is no fairer field for the poet's fa'cy, no more exciting arena for the novelist. The monuments of the early emigrants may be said to form the milestoves along our vational pathways. Each has iis own story, for poet,novelist, or historian, of exile, and heroic struggle with fate, and of noble hearts and minds, once instinct with every passion, but “now resting silent acd lone in their humble graves by rushing rivers, or

the @uly Canadian poet whose heart | broad plains, or at the foot of the mighty glowed with the true Promethean fire;! mountains that guard in their eternal aud we have no novelist of more thau | greatness the gates of the West.

Every _mile of Canada affords fascinating food ‘for thought, and treasures for memory’s every part of it is ‘a fertile soil that only awaits ‘vigorous tilling to produce the ‘golden grain and garvered sheaves of a ‘ripened national literature, which will do ‘more to biud together and cement her | diverse races, aud to obliterate provincial | prejudice, than cast ires acts of Parlia- /meot, or the gaudy trappings of war. ‘Let the treasures of tlhe pioneer era be /rescued from oblivion, ‘ere they are for- gotten with the final disappearance from the scene of action of those about whom they cling like the graceful folds of a

ren of nations which have a grand | toga,—before the conquering agents,

steam aud electricity, shall have robbed

Going back farther yet, we may gathcr literary treasures from the crude- mythology and leg evdary lore of the In dian tribes, who, long betore the days of pioneers, hunted moose or buffalo on the spots where thriving cities now throb with busy life. Much may yet be glean- ed, as shown by the researches of the Rev. Mr. Rand and others among the micmacs of Nova Scotia, from the tribes |yet spared in the march of civilization. Every river, headland. plain, and forest is rich in tradition. Even our litile Islaud abouads io Indian and pioneer legends. Steps should be taken to col- | lect these traditions, otherwise they will be forgotten with the gradual disappear- ance of the once wild tribes, and when, in years to come, our descendants shape their ideas of what the Indians were from some migrant, half drunken, villianous looking specimen, with only a tinge of aboriginal blood in his veins, few will remember that his forefathers, in their rude nobility, formed of themselves romantic literary materials. The pre- sent is the time to collect all materials yet available to the historian.

“The trne history of any country,” says R. E. Gosnell, “is that of the people—that of potentates and wars is ouly so much mosaic work. The life of Cenadian history is to be found mainly among her pioneers.’ Then who will undertake the collection of reminiscences, looking forward to the complete recording of our history ? Would a society formed for that pur- pose meet the tate of the Jate Historical Society * Many private individuals possess fine collections of valuable manuscripts, which only await the awakening of public opinion to the necessity of their publication, but when will the mind of the readiug public so awaken? When will some organized eflort be made to correct and re-write our history? When may we expect to see Canadian poets delighting us with pu'e Canadian verse, and perpetuating in faultless metre the romantic memories of the past? The auswer is, whenever the people of Canada, casting aside all provincial, party, and sectional pre- judice, unite in making the attempt worth while in the dollars acd cents view.

Lastly, in the cultivation of national leterature, we should imitate our Repub- lican neighbors in fostering a healthy national sentiment, and the pure princi- ples of patriotism should be its life giving element, inspiring a pride in eur young country from “ocean to ocean.” By the creation of a distinc'ive literature, itis not necessary for Canadians to taboo the grand old poets and philosophers that have been their delight, or even to give them a secondary place, but they ought, before many decades roll by, to have Canadian works placed side by side with them, equally noble, equally meritorious, and equally beloved, ‘The best speeches of Cartier, Tache, Galt, Brown, McGee, McDonald, Young, Tapper, Howe, Dufferin, Hincks, Coles, Whelan and others, whose names are prominent in the hisiory of Canada, should be published in a convenient form for general use, and as class books for the elocutionary departments of Canadian schools and colleges. That is the way in which the educationists of the United States have infused an undying sentiment of nationality into the susceptible minds of the young, and it has proved a method well worthy of imitation. In our schools and school books should be inculcated a love of home and country, and a justifiable pride in the lives of those who have impressed on the vation the stamp of their own individuality.

The New Convent, Summerside. Tuk new Convent de Notre Dame, which was opened to the public on Tuesday the 12th inst., by a grand concert, and which was blessed by His Lordship. Bishop Me- Intyre, the morning feilowing, is situated on Centra! Street, beside the Roman

Catholic Church, It is 0 C6 attsiUun- pretentious wooden structure, of substantial appearance. it-i dimensions _ sixty six by forty-five

feet, and twenty-four feet post with a well proportioned pitch roof with seven do:mer windows on each sidy, It is built on a stone foundation with a b-‘ck wall rising three feet above the surface. Entering the main hall to the right »ro the music room and chapel, seperated by folding doors. From the main hali is a ava l-r one, which separates the community room and the refectory from the parlor and « flice, At the end of this hall is an entrance for the pupils, with a stair leading to the second flat. To the right of the main hall, on the second flat, are two spacious class rooms, separated by folding doors. . A hall leads to the left on this flat, alsc separating two class rooms from the dormitories. Be- sides these, there are on the second flat several cloak rooms, ete. The third flat, is intended fora dormitory, and will be furnished when required. Adjoining the main building is a kitchen two stories high, and twenty-five feet broad. The building, with the exception of the third flat, is well furnished and thoroughly fitted and reflects credit on the contractor, Mr. Pierce Doyle.

The convent was opened by a grand concert, held m the upper flat of the buiid- ing. A temporary stage was tastefully decorated, and the pupils dressed in white, occupied elevaied seats around the sides. The following was the programme :~-

ADDRES 3. “Gol Save the Queen.”

The musical part of the programme ws well rendered. Many of the pupils prom‘se to be splendid pianists, es they played the parts of ibe many handed, and in some instances difficult selections, with more than ordinary precision and taste, dramas were interesting and cleverly acied, aad showed that wis young ladies of thé institution have a rzre iaste for elocution.

The —_ lesson to be learned from ‘Reality vs. Imagination,” were good: It proved how easily the wild dreams of fancy can be dispelled

by a little practical work om the part of the dreamer. An interesting feature of the ent:rtainment was the dumb cherade by the junior popils. In the first figures of schol calesthenics, they marched tu piano music and formed at intervals the letters of the word ‘*Welcome” at the opening, ard at the close the word ‘*Thanks.” Altogether the entertainment was pleasing and enjoyable, and reflected credit on the pupils and their teachers. iP

Doc Days —The Moncton Times says ; — “Yesterday (the 12th) was dog day at the police gourt. The Marshal has been very active in this depayiment of late, and a short time ago secured a list of over 100 owners of unlicensed dogs. Nearly all of these have paid, and the remaining cases were postponed to give the parties a last chauce. Another list of nearly 100 is in course of preparation, and as 57 had paid be- fore harsh measures were instituted, it w'll be seen that the dog tax will amount to something respectable. About 106 paid last year: this year the number will probably be in excess of 200. The Marshal finds that some hard cases are met with, even in collecting dog taxes. A black- and-tan was yesterday taken to the police « flice by a young girl, who said her father had been sick all winter and it took all they could earn to provide the necessar- ies of life; consequently she could not pay the tax. The Marshal does not like to destroy the dog, which is young and pretty, and any person can get him on paying the amount ef the tax, $1.20.”

This example should be followed by our eity tax collector.

PRINCESS LOUISE AT WORK. A London despatch says : ‘The Princess Louise’s Northwest committee. issued their tirst appeal to the public for subscriptions to-day. The Princess is President, and on the board are a large number of the lead- ‘ing bankers and finenciers. About 1,000 ‘pounds were promised tuday. ‘The utmost despatch possible will be shown in i sending surgeons and materials. BACK TO THEIR RESERVES,

Lieut.-Col. Turnbull, of the Quebec school of cavalry, telegraphs from Fort Qu’Appelle that the Indiars have gone back to their reserves and tliat settlers in the Qu’Appelle valley Lave become reassur- ed and are once more on their farms, al- though they are still somewhat alarmed. General Strange has telographed for more arws und ammunition for the Edmonton ‘division, Indian Agent Rae, for a few days, returns again on the 11th inst., to Battleford. His team is at Swift Current aad without any escort, he will drive across the prairie alone. He does not fear any molestation from the Indians.

STATEMENTS TO PARLIAMENT.

In the commons Sir John stated that an imperfect report had been received from Major Crozier on the Duck Lake fight.

The government officials were directed some years ago to take claims and evidence of the half-breeds of Manitoba minors and others, temporarily absent in the North- west territury. Reports have been made from time to time on the claims of half- breeds and minors in the North-west ter- ritories, and a setilement of claims is now | proceeding. | The government has under its serious | consideration the question of the relief of

CHIEF POUNDMAKER.

Poundmaker, one of the Cree Chiefs, and beyond comparison the ablest Indian in the Northwest, is a particularly fine looking specimen of his race, being con- siderably over six feet high, of rather slight built, and singularly erect. He has an intelligent and rather refined looking faze, a high, prominent forehead, and a nose cf the purely Grecian type, while there is nothing cvarse or sensual about the lower portion of his face. His hands are small and delicate in appearance, his fingers being long and faultlessly tapered. Though a Pagan, he has more than once be- trayed a sirong inclination to embrace Catholicism. His father was a Cree and his mother a half sister to the great Black- foot chief, Crowfoot. His grandmother, on the side of his mother, is said to have been a Stoney, and this is corroborated by the great chiefs peculiar cst of countenance. Pouvdmaker’s career has been in wany respects a remarkable one, It was he who accomplished peace between the Blackfeet and Crees, hitherto hereditary enemies. He had trouble with the Indian department last winter, and he is not a man to quickly forget any indignity offered to himself or his people. There is notan Indian ia the Northwest who knows the country better than Poundmaker.
