Season.

| A Good and Short Theatrical

| Mr. W. S. Harkins is playing witha ‘first-class company at the Academy of |Music, Halifax, and is meeting with suc- ‘cess. He informs us that, aiter visiting /Yarmouth and a few other places in Nova ‘Scotia, he will open for a short season in ‘Charlottetown, and give one performance ‘in Summerside. The company have won j high encomiums in Halifax and St. John, ‘and will, no doubt, be well re- | ceived here. In conversation with John reporter, Mr.

‘nia, he said, | played an engagement at the Park Theatre in New York. I then signed a contract to support Miss Kate Forsyth, in California, opening on May 26th, but meeting my old friends, Mr. William Whitecar, leading gentleman of the Union Square Lights o’ London Com- pany, and Mr. Willmm Morris, leading gentleman of the Silver King Company, and thinking that where there were three Wills there might at least be way, we formed a partnership to bring a company to the Maritime Provinces.”

“With what success /”

‘*In my estimation it is the finest company which has yet visited St. John, as we have secured Miss Beatrice Lieb as leading lady, who is considered the handsomest lady on the American stage, and a talented actress, under engagement for the coming season to play the star part in Bartley Campbell’s Separation, We have also engaged Mrs. Poole, who is without doubt the best ex- ponent of old women characters now before the public. Each member of the company has been selected with care and discrimin- ation and cannot fail to give satisfaction in their respective roles.”

‘‘What plays have you ?”’

‘We have secured the right to play the great London and New York success, by Derrick, entitled Confusion, which is ad- mitted to be the funniest play now on the stage. It secured a long run in New York and Boston, and is now being played to crowded houses at the Baldwir. Theatre, San Francisco.”

‘*Will that be your opening play !”

‘Undoubtedly, and we will follow that with the late H. L. Byron’s greatest suc- cess, Partners for Life. We have also the play of Moths, a dramatization of Ouida’s novel of that title.

‘Will yon give us any melodramas ?”

‘‘Why, of course. We have Lady Clare, which is a success of three countries, now being played in France at the Theatre Francaise, and in London by Mr. and Mrs. Kendall. It ran for the entire dramatic season at Wallack’s Theatre, New York. This I consider our strongest piece.”

‘*Your company and these plays must en- tail a large expense?”

‘‘Why, of course; but I know the public of St. John will support anything that is good, and I feel confident we will be repaid tor the outlay. You will notice that 1 avoided getting anything thoroughly Ameri- can, and have tried to secure only English successes, believing that the taste of the people of the Provinces would be better satisfied by plays which met with the ap- proval of the English public than with those which are essentially American,”

“T think that Messrs. Whitecar and Morris will be welcomed back to St. John.”

‘‘They ought to be, for they are both care- ful and painstaking actors. Mr. Whitecar has been identified with all the great suc- cesses which St. John has known for the past five years, and is too great a favorite with the public for me to need to extol his merits. Mr. Morris’ face will be a com- paratively new one in St. John, but he is too handsome a fellow and too greata favorite with the ladies not to makea capital impression. ”

‘*What about yourself ?”’

‘ Well, with two such handsome partners as Whitecar and Morris I don’t think I count for much.”

“Do you’bring an orchestra with you ?

‘*No, but we bring a leader, and all the music for the different plays. Our leader, Mr. S. H. Gardner, will have the orchastra under his direction and the music cannot failto be an interesting feature in our entertainments.”

‘You ought to have a good season. ”

‘*Well, if bringing the best plays and the best company that ever was in St. John does not win success, it is hopeless for any manager to expect it here.”

The Credit Foncier Franco- Canadian.

Intelligence from Paris has been receiv- ed by the Canadian board of directors of this company that the Banque de Paris and the Credit Lyonnais have taken charge of the issue of $1,500,000 of the mortgage bonds of the company, in addition to the issue of $200,000 now offered on the Can- adian market. The proceeds of these bonds are to be invested in Quebec, Ontario and Prince Edward Island over a million and a quarter at rates varying, cost of ad minis- tration included, from six to seven per cent. It is most desirable that cheap money should be in readiness to check the evil of usury, especially in the rural dis- tricts. The company bas been so far very successful in its investments. On 30th of |April last, after three years operations, ‘and with loans amounting to $1,194,740, the whole arrears of instalments and in- terest accrued, amounted only to $379.03, and the properties bought in by the company only reached the sum of $1,079, a sure evi- dence of a prudent administration.

Independence. WHAT SIR HECTOR LANGEVIN SUBJECT,

SAYS ON THE

In his speech at the bangnet at Lich mond, i» honor of Mr. Ives, M. P., Sir Hector Langevin thus referred to the In- dependence question :— ‘‘But he wished to saya few words about a great question which had been raised by one of the lead- ers of the Opposition, Sir Richard Car: wright. The liberal party had been accused of having no policy, but Sir Richard Cart wright had now found a plank fora new platform for the Reform party, and that was the independence of this country. He (Sir Hector) for one did not know what he wanted with independence in this country. We were independe&t enough now. Who was governing this country / Was it the Parliament of Great Britain? Was it the people of Great Britain? Had we not our own constitution under which the Queen of England was the Queen of Canada, and did we not find that by the Act of Confederation we may do everything ex- cept carry war against foreign nations, or deliver this country to another power ? Our powers by that act were most extensive, and by it we could tax the gouds of England 23 wellas the United States do themselves. Was that not independence enough? In fact we did as we pleased with our money and with the revenues of thiscountry. We were told that if we had independence we could make commercial treaties, but if England had failed for years to make com- mercial treaties with France and Spain for instance, how could we, asmall five millions of people, induce France and Spain to do what they would not do for England. The link between us and England was the Governor-General, who was sent here to govern the country in the name of the Queen, but if we were independent we would have to elect a man to be either the president, governor-general or king of this country, and this man would need to be a man of weight and experience, and must therefore needs be a political man, and if the governor-general was elected by the Reformers would the Conservatives have the greatest confidence in him, and vice versa’ But Great Britain always sent us a man of experience and ability, and ove who is free from all party ties in this country. (Cheers). But he forgot another link which bound us to the mother country—the loyal- ty of the people to Great Britain. (Loud cheers.) That was the strongest link be- tween the two countries, and he could not see why Sir Richard Cartwright and his followers wished to destroy that link. For his own part, speaking in the name of his friends in this province, no matter what ‘their origin or creed, he would say that they did not wish to break the link. (Cheers.) They wished to remain under the glorious old flag of old Englend, tor which their ancesters had shed their blood. (Cheers.) Bunt suppcsing we had independ- ence, we would need to have an executive head, and we would have to tax the people a little more for the purpose of keeping our executive on the same footing as those of other c untries, and we would require an army and navy, consuls and ambas- sadors, anda flag of our own, and if that flag was insulted it would result in war, aud who would pay for it but the people of Canada, But to-day the flag of England protects us, and were free from all this trouble and expense, and besides, the prestige of this country was ten times greater than it would be under the new order of things proposed by Sir Richard Cartwright. (Cheers. )

Farmers and Newspapers.

Farmers receive a good deal of advice nowadays from the newspapers, and like other people they are not hurt by it. A Massachusetts paper has the following, which may pot be out of place at this season of the year, when the agricultural implement agents, including the fraudulent ones, are abroad in the land:—The honest old farmer is generally cautions and con- servative, but when he does allow himself to be made a fool of, he goes into the folly as rashly as the Wall street lambs. When the iron plow was introduced, there were many farmers who held back, and said the old wooden plows had been good enough for them. As machinery got to be extensively used in farming operations swindlers ap- peared. One of them came to this neighberhood with a contrivance tiat would load hay or manure or gravel, and do nobody knew what farm work with the smallest outlay of power. The glib-tongued fellow wanted co sell rights, by which the farmer could make a big profit out of his neighbors, and there was no money to pay down, only a note to be given, and it was promised that the payment of the notes should not be pressed. It was pressed, and they were put into the banks, but the machine was not appearing, and some farmers, reckoned as shrewd, were obliged to redeem their promises, and had nothing to show for their money. A similar game has been played on the farmers of Springfield. They were promised cloth for men’s clothing and dress goods for women at amazingly low prices, and the inducement was held out that they could get a profit out of their neighbors. The old bait took the new fish, but the banks had more vivid memories, and the notes given could not be discounted, and it may be the swindle will not work so successfully as it has on previous occasions. It would be better for them to have read the newspapers, or at least the Bible, which has some wise advice for those who make haste to get rich.
