A few thousands of dollars judicious expended every year in permanent sidewalks of stone or asphalt would, in a 7comparatively short time, do away with one of the many re- proaches which Charlottetown has to bear

at the present time. The expenditure of

money in this way would be much more

economical than that which is annually in- curred for wooden plankways, which are rotten almost as soon as they are laid.

Aa to streets,—it is hoped that the policy of macadamizing a section of street every year will be continued. We presume that the inaction of this year, in this respect, is due to the fact that so many water pipes are being laid. When the latter work has been completed, or nearly so, the work of making permanent streets should go on.

sc sadeiidiiamines ‘i Notes and Comments. Speaking at the annual Ministerial banquet at the Mansion House, Lord Salis- bury said that England's aim in foreign sffairs was always ‘*‘ peace with honor.”

—Some prattler having stated that ‘the whole of Ontario and a great portion of Manitoba is literally plastered with mort- gages,’ (a writer in the Monetary Times has demonstrated that not a tenth of the land of Ontario is burdened by mortgage.

— The document conferring upon the Queen the command of the First Dragoon Guards of Berlin begins in this way :—

** Most Illustrious Grandmother: It is a special honor for me to be able to enroll you ip an army in which your sons and grandsons and other relatives have filled honorable posi- tions for many years.”

— Force is added to the efforts of the Kiev. Fred. E. J. Lioyd to abolish the cruel contrivance, by the report that about five hundred and fifty veterenary surgeons in Great Britain have signed a paper con- demning the overhead check reiu as pain- ful tohorses and productive of diseases. They say: ** It distortes the windpipe, and is liable to cause paralysis of the muscles ot the face, apoplexy, coma and inflamma- ticn of the brain, all these resulting in shortening the life of the horse.”

-There is great excitement over the sinking of a lot of places in Cheshire, ow- ing to great quantities of brine being pumped out of the earth. Over 1,700 acres have been subject to this alarming subsidence. One hotel and two churches have already been destroyed, and at Wins- ford several houses have sunk so that the chimney tops and ridge tiles alone are vis- ible above the ground, while the sinkage in the market olace is fully 30 feet. A new town hall which had just been built on the a of the old one has been completely bur- ed.

The Moncton Times remarks that the published figures of exports from the port of Summerside show week by week that the mainland provinces of the Dominion are better markets for Island produce than the States. The total shipments to date. as given by the Summerside Pioneer, amount in value to $250,119, of which $59,271 is said to have gone to the U. S., while the provinces took $129,353 worth, the balance going to Europe and the West Indies. In the $87,261 of alleged ship- medts to the U. S., however, are included several thousand dollars worth shipped by sailing vessels to Shediac, the greater part of which was really sold mm the provinces.

-Commenting upon the outrage to which the Black Diamond was recently subjected in Behring Sea, the Courant, of Hartford, Conn., a Republican journal, says: **It is not certain, to say the least, that « claim on our part to exclusive juris- Giction over that sea, as land-locked or mare clausum, will stand critical examina- tion. A seato have that character must, according to Vattel, * be entirely surround- ed by the territory of the nation claiming jurisdiction, and must have no other com- munication with the ocean other than by a channel of which that nation may take possession.’ The Behring Sea is very far trom being surrounded by American terri- tory, and it communicates with the ocean by a channel said to be 183 miles wide.”

War with Achill,

The British fleet has, since the great re- view at Spithead, been divided under two distinct commands. For a week ships and men will bejpracticedjin steam tactics, Then will follow the manceuvres of mimic war- fare. it will be supposed that Great Brit- ain is at war with a foreign country— Achill. The fleet of the attacking Achil- liaus will be under the command of Vice Admiral J. K. R. Baird, with the Northum- berland as his flagship, and Rear Admiral D'Arcy Irvine second in command in the Anson. This fleet will consist of nine battleships, seven cruisers, two gunboats, two torpedo gun vessels, and eight torpedo boats. The headquarters of the admiral will be Queenstown and Bantry Bays, Ire- land being considered, for the purposes of mimic warfare, an enemy’s country. The fleet of the defence will be composed of all the other ships, vessels and torpedo boats, aud will be commanded by Rear Admiral Sir George Tryon, in the Hercules, and Rear Admiral R. E. Tracey, in the Rodney. This fleet will go to Milford and Lambash to coal before the manceuvres commence. The Admirals of the opposing fleets will open their sealed orders on Saturday next; war will be proclaimed on the midnight of Sunday, Aug. 11th, and a state of hostil-

A BUDGET OF GENERAL NEWS PARTS OF THE WORLD,

Orrawa, Aug. 7.—George Barclay, while on his way home from Olarence Creek, was accosted by highwaymen who demanded his money or his life. He refused to give up his money and they fired on him, the ball taking effect in the left arm. They then overpowered him and secured $80, 4 Barclay

his life is despaired of. The highwaymen escaped,

Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 5.—Jay Gould seems to be very sanguine at large, and says that everything points to this being a highly prosperous year for the leading rail- roads of the country. Along the Missouri Pacific road, including the main line and its several branches, he added, the crops are unprecedentedly large and of a very fine quality. The volume of busiaess al- ready transacted along the branch lines had gone beyond what was expected. On being questioned in regard to rates, Mr. Gould replied that there was no prospect of any ratecutting, There appeared to be a gen- eral inclination among most of the roads to work together and to avoid warring upon each other. He believes harmony will pre- vail. The reductions made by the Inter- state Commerce Commissioner in the State of Missouri were, according to Mr. Gould, very slight, and not near as sweeping as had been reported. Abnormal rates be- tween local points had been reduced in a manner satisfactory to the company, and the reduction would not be felt to any ap- preciable extent Pirrspure, Pa., Aug. 7.—-The strike in the Connellsville coke regions was made general to-day. Every one of the 16 coke plants, over 14,000 ovens, are idle” YarmovurTu, Aug. 7.—A startling and re- markable fata] accident occurred here last night, when the sound of discharging can- non was heard. It was found that one of the old 32-pounder cannon in the drill shed had been discharged and the shot had kill- ed a man named Jas. Cosman, in Wilson's stables in the next street. The artillery company meet at the drill shed for gun drill every Tuesday evening. They go through the exercise of loading and firing. They cannot use the regular large iron shot, but only have a bag of sawdust for powder. Tuesday when drill commenced an obstruc- tion was found in one of the guns, A shot was jammed in tightly near the breoch. Last night Capt. T.R.Jollytried to blow the shot out by putting powder at the touch- hole and firing. The breech was previous- ly sounded with drift, apparently showing that the gun was empty save for the shot. A small quantity of rifle powder was put in the friction tube and exploded. But there was no effect until the third attempt, when there was a startling report and the drill shed was filled with smoke. The shot tore through a heavy rolled up gymnasium mattress, through the doors of the rifle rack, through the end of the wall of the building, and entered the back of Wilson’s stable, where Cosman was cleaning a horse. It struck him a glancing blow, breaking his neck, aud then passed through four heavy board hall partitions before it was spent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. City Sidewalks.

A TAXPAYER Siz,—A good deal has been said and written in regard to the improvements in the city, the need of a new fence around Queen Square, more water carts, etc., etc.; but Iam surprised to find that the press, and citizens generally, so far, have not agi- tated for better sidewalks, and having our streets properly cleaned. The sidewalks on our principal thoroughfares are a dis- grace to any village. I have travelled a good dea! in the United States and Canada, and never yet “struck” a town that had such bad sidewalks and dirty streets as Charlottetown. There is not a stranger comes here but what admires Queen Square, and generally speaks favorably of the city, its climate and surroundings; but one and all wonder why we do not improve our sidewalks, and make an effort to have the town kept clean. People’s lives are in constant danger walking on sidewalks full of holes, and the filth and deposits in our streets are simply nauseous. A town of this size, taxed as heavily as this is, ought to have decent streets and sidewalks, and the gutters kept clean. What are our City Councillors doing that they do not move in the matter? It has been brought to their notice often enough! Are they so devoid of public spirit and enterprise that they do not see the necessity of com- mencing to lay some permanent and lasting pavements each year? If they are not capable of grappling with the question it will be necessary for citizens to get up an indignation meeting and force them to act. The writer would like to know whose duty it is to see that the garbage of the city is not thrown out on the street, and in the gutters, as is now done generally. It is an everyday occurrence to see old papers, old shoes, decayed fruit, old iron hoops, paper boxes, etc., thrown out in the gutters Why is there not a bye-law to prevent this, and an officer appointed to have it carried into effect? Where are our sanitary officer and street surveyor? Should they not attend to it ? Hoping that these suggestions will be acted upon, I am, yours respectfully, TaXPayER.

SPEAKS.

We are agreeably surprised to see such fine celery, cabbage, cauliflower, green and butter beans, beets, carrots, onions, lettuce, etc. at Gay’s stalls, Market House. He has certainly taken time by the forelock this season. We would advise those who have not already done so to change their diet and make one meal each day at least of vegetables, not forgetting Gay’s Extra Early Celery, which is unquestionably the best nerve quietor known. This is not a quack medicine advertisement, but simply a reminder that summer is at hand, and that the human sys- tem requires something more than meat, bread and such heat-producing food, but just the opposite. We would say to hotel pro- prictors and others to order a market day ahead and thereby secure the best, and at a discount on retail prices. The advantage of this is, orders are filled at home and the best are not culled, as is sometimes the case purchasing from the market. Qrder by mail or call at the Market at Gay’s Stalls, No. 23,
