I want my hon, frieud, the Mia- ister of Public Works, to get up on the floor of the House and give me an assurance, as one of the representatives of the people of Queen's County, that the harbors and the breakwaters of Prince Edward Island shall be thoroughly examined and the duty of the Goverument performed to the fullest extent in putting these works in proper repair. I ask this ag a representative of the people, for if I had to go on a_ personal matter I would turn to my friend the Minister of Finance. I am glad he gave usa hint last year, tor I thought he gave usa hint that there was something going to be done iu the way of matrimony. He gave us a hint in the budget speech too that he did not drink ram or gin, or use tobacco, but he said the popu- jation was going to increase, aud if the popu- sition does ]
he «e f peu

The church itself was very ancient; ivy-clad and charmit ated on the north bank of a tidal mver, whose waters at high tides rose almost to its very walls. It lay at the foot of a grass- covered hill of considerable elevation, whose brow, tradition says, W%sS chosen as its or iginal site, but this choice was persistently frustrated by some mysterious power which moved under the shadow of night, the re- sult of each day’s toil to the foot of the hill as quickly as it was accomplished, where, perforce, it was ultimately built. A large portion of the churchyard which surround- od the church had been claimed by the en- croaching tide, and the time is not far dis- tant when the utter unwisdom of the agency which chose the site will be fully demon- strated by the crumbling of the edifice itself. The vicarage stood hard by the church, only it occupied a very much safer position. "A road traversed the side of the hill, and bounded the churchyard which was filled with gravestones lyiag about in every conceivable position, like a routed and dis- abled regiment in a state of petrifaction.

Mr. John Newson took up the cudgels warmly in defence of Cleopatra, who had been mentioned slightingly in the debate.
Prof. D. J. McLeod spoke shortly, point- ing out the great value of the historical plays, and likened Shakespeare’s work to the clothing of the dry bones of history with flesh and blood, and the inbreathing of a soul.

Blind to Their Own Inierests.
Tue House of Assembly was amused yes- terday afternoon by a very broad distinc- tion which was drawn by Mr. Wise. As
district, both of | whom required aid, he thought the leader of the Governmen mistaken in the man, and pointed out that the one who had been receiving public money was ‘‘ an old man with a grown up family,” while the one for whom he desired a grant ‘*‘ is a young man with six children, wiiose wife has lately had twins.” ‘The difference was at once appre- ciated. Every person present roared with laughter. Hon. members who had been quietly smiling behind the evening papers, laid back in their seats and laughed long and loud. Even Mr. Speaker so far for- got the dignity of his position as to allow a broad smile to illumine his countenance. Such ascene was not witnessed in the House since the hon. member for Cardigan related the story of the robber sliding down the bell-rope. Hon. Mr. Sullivan rose to reply. There was an amused expression on his counten- ance, ashe remarked, looking directly at Mr. Wise: There area great many blind people inthe hon. member’s district, in- deed, the majority of them appear to be blind—to their own interests! This sally provoked more laughter, mostly from the Government benches,
