| $ie,—I think it is high time that some of |our authorities around Cardigan and neigh- should call a meeting of its ‘inhabitants, and see what is to be done in | the way of getting the harbor efficiently buoyed like others.

Cardigan, though unquestionably acknow- ledged to be the best harbor in the country, ‘had no less*than seven or eight of the | vessels trading there this fall, ran ashere lon the reefs on each side of the river, in | broad day-light, four of which were loaded, ‘and in danger of losing or damaging their |cargoes, and one of which lies there yet, lall for want of three or four efficient buoys that a mariner could see at a respectable | diatance, to enable him to aveid the danger |instead of the worthless pole buoys placed | there that cannot be seen over two er three

| borhood

jyards, and serve no purpose whatever. | There should also be a range harbor light, \for entering and going out of harbor at | nights. I do not attach any blame to the | officers of the harbor in placing the present | buoys, L believe they are placed in the ‘proper and right place ; but the fault isin | the quality of the buoys, pole buoys being jaltogether insufficient for such a large bay jas Cardigan..

The dredging of the channel at the | wharves near the Bridge is also loudly ‘ealled for. A little in the dredging line would help to accommodate vessels loading jconsiderably. But in this we have been ‘entirely overlooked. More Government | wharves at the Bridge is much wanted. It | was pitiful to see as wa saw this fall, three ‘or four vessels abreast lying at a half ‘finished wharf, trying to load or unload | their cargoes, and a poor countrymon wait- | ing to get his turn, and lose a whole day in i getting a cart or two put on board. | All those interested in the trade of Cardigan should lose no time in bringing | this most imporant matter before the Domi- ‘nien Parliament, either by petition er | otherwise, and we have no reason to doubt ‘but that our demands will be fully and | satisfactorily acceeded to. | By giving the above a plage in your next ‘issue you will oblige some ef your sub- scribers, and ethers here, and inthe neigh- borhood. I remain,

Yours respectfully, DERICK CAMPBRLL.

The Coal Bug.” -

A WASTEFUL INSKOT DANGEROUS TO HUMAN aoe joel ns iaie eal we ae

An entomologist has discovered what he terins the coal bug or the cimex anthracitus. Professer Otto Hechslmeyer, who has been interviewed on the subject by a reporter of the Philadelphia Reeerd, es the follow- ing startling statesment: ‘

He said that, taking the result ef Pro- fessor Agassiz’s discoveries in ‘mid-ocear, where he found that minute corpuscles threw off their shells, and thess, growing together, formed immense deposits, it is not surprising that Professor Rodagash, of Stockholm, whom he met at Gettingen last year, should appear with a new species ef bug, which might be considered as a de- 'scendant of the pre-historic tree bug, and | which is now found ia coal in great quanti- | ties, and threatens to undermine mary | valuable coal beds. ‘‘ It is very noticea) le,” said Prof. Hecheimeyer, ‘‘that the so-called

goal-dust is peculiar on account of its ‘round appearance. Upon examination with | the microseope it is found that these par- ticles are covered with millions of these cimex anthracitus. Each one is abeut the | size of the head of a needle, flat in appear- ‘ance, and are plentiful at the bottom ef ‘goal veins, from whence they work their | way to the top, making holes in the min- ‘eral and rendering it almost unfit for use. The male is of gray black color, and has six black spots on his back. The female is broad and has nine spots. But why these spets vary in the sexes is something that }has puzzled the scientific men who have examined them.” The Professor went on at length to give a description of these bugs and their evil propensities. He said that coal oil was but another form of these in- sects, but that in this liquid state they had ‘become crushed, and those that escaped | forced their way to the surface, where they iwere found. ‘‘ You have often noticed,” ;said the Professor, ‘‘ that when coal is ifirat placed upen a fire, or when it is ‘ignited, there is a crackling, hissing noise, jand pieces fly about in the grate or range. |'That is caused by the death struggles of these insects. The more of these there are in coal the quicker it burns. Heusekeep- ers often wonder why it is that one ton of ‘coal will Hast longer than another. The ‘cause of this is- easily explained—one has |more ef the cinex anthracitus in it than the ‘other.’ Boarding housekeepers who pur- |chasecheap coal pay half for coal and the |other half for a lead of these awful insects asa general thing. Servant girls, stokers ‘in fire rooms and housewives cannot be tce ‘careful when moving abeut a eeal pile, for ‘if one of these minute creatures should get upon their clothing or flesh the former | would be eaten into holes quicker than by |moths. When they become attached to the skin of a person they burrow in, and, bury- ing themselves, multiply fast, producing a white ewelling, which eventually results in a softening of the bones and a herrible death. Coal miners who imbibe lare quan- tities of whiskey are never attacked by these insects. The only method yet known ‘to kill these bugs in a coal pile is, sprinkle a bucketful of chloride of lime solution

| Cardinals Die in Threes.

The fatality of events furnishes ne stranger illustration the world over than that afforded by the mortality record ef the college of cardinals. The adage that they die in threes is as old as the college itself, and better founded than any other listoric- al superstition. The year 1881 has done much to strengthen the belief in these mar- vellous cccurrenees. During the first four meuths of the year three cardinals were blotted from the list: by death— Regnier, of Oambrai, Franee, and Kutechker of Vienna in January, and Garcia Gil, of Madrid, in April. On Saturday last the death of Borromeo was ehronicled, and to-day comes the intelligence of the demise of Cardinal Prospero Caterni. Tho last named was 88 years of age and received the red hat from Pius IX. In harmony with the wonderful eistory of the College, the death of another member was to be reasgnably expected at an early date, probably before the year goes eut. This has occurred in the death ef Cardinal Gianelli.— Utica Observer.

NEWS NOTES.

Franse is gradually exporting more and importing less of articles of food.

Aid is to be asked from the United States Congress for the establishment of a Steamship line on the Pacific coast.

The exports of articles ef foed from France are steadily increasing, while the imports into France are diminishing.

Herr Saul, a contributer to the Prank- furter Zeitung, has been condemned te one month’s imprisonment for libelling Prince Bismarck.

The town of Manrzanilla, on the isthmus ef Panama, was completely destroyed by a hurricane on the 26th ult., involving a less cstimated at over half a million dollars, exclusive of the shipping wrecked in the harbour.

Wirnovt A Frrenp.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says : ‘“‘A fresh number of the nibilists journal, Naradnaja Vola, has made its appearence, On the title page is an editorial paragraph, surrounded with a deep black line, in which the crime of Guiteau is condemned in the strongest language.” It says that in a free country, where the voice of the people can always beheard, nothing can exuse a resort to force; that Guiteau’s crime is the act of the despotism of a party, which despotism is as detestable as that of an individual.

Tre Cavurca of Eno iann.—During the

_}iist forty years the Established Church of

England has spent over £1,000,000 a year in church building and church resteration over £33,000 amenth). She has, during

ears; given at the rate of £141,000 a year for the endowment of her new churches ; within the last forty years she has built cver 5,100 new parsonage houses, in addition to old ones restored, and has increased her incumbents by nearly 8,000. Her curates at present number some 5,800, and she raises £632,000 a year to pay them, of which £40,000 is paid by incumbents. The Church of England raises, voluntarily, over £5,500,000 a year; that is, nearly £460,000 a month.

Mr. White’s statement of the debt of Canada, and his conclusions as to the re- spective responsibility of the two parties for that debt, are characterized by the clearness which invariably distinguishes that gentleman in his public utterances. On the 1st July, 1867, the public debt was 75,728,641. In 1881 it had increased to $156,942,471, an increase of $81,213,830. During six years of Conservative rule, from 1867 to 1873, the increase was $24,- 119,821, an average per annum of $4,- 719,000. During the five years of Lib- eral rule the increase was $40,513,606, or an average annual inerease of $8,102,721. And during the three years of Conservative rule from 1878 to 1881, the increase was $16,580,801, or an average annual increase of $5,526,801. Of the increase of $24,119,- 821 during the period of the first Conserva- tive rule, the sum of $13,859,080 repre- sented provincial debts transferred to the Dominion, and the sum ef #1,666,200 re- presented debts allowed to British Colum- bia on their entering the Dominion. Thus the actual increase of debt on account of public works during the first six years was only $8,594,542, or a little over the average increase during each year of the Liberal rule.—Toronto Mail.

Referring to Sir Charles Tupper’s magnificent management of the Intercolonial railway, by which a yearly loss of from $500,000 to $750,000 (as was the experience under Grit administration ) has been turned into a surplus, the London Free Press says:—‘‘Sir Charles felt the gravity of the situation. He seemed challenged to deal with a condition of things which defied amendment. Yet he did not flinch from the task imposed upon him by the carelessness and incompetence of prede- cessors. He wentto work with a will, and the railway staff, knowing the needs of the case, aided him in procuring the required results. The administration of Sir Charles Tupper in this matter has restored tothe people $500,000a year, which under Grit “inefficiency had been allowed to leak away.” “An honest straightforward effort was made to make the Intercolonial a paying enterprise, and to-day that is its condition; while month by month the development of traffic it occa- sions points to the establish ment of a com- muuity of commercial interests which did not before exist, and whichis adding new and important ties to those of a political kind which the parchment of Confederation established.”

It issaid by a responsible gentleman of Toronto, that on timing the run from mile- stone to milestove, one of the erdinazy \ Intercolonial trains eovered the distance in forty-seven seconds.
