| | The Shortest Route. } | Srr,—l see by your issue of Saturday jtast, a quotation from the Globe, headed |“*Sugar from China,’ that the bark Antioch, Capt. Wyman hed arrived from Hong Kong, China, with a cargo of sugar for the Moncton Sugar Refinery. This re- minds me of the thoughts that have often come up In my mind in regard to our great leader, Sir John A. Macdonald, and his Pacific Railway Policy. The facts are that in a few years our merchants will be im- porting produce direct from China, via the Pacific Railway; whereas now it has to come by the Mediterranean, and through Suez Canal—a distance of several thousand miles. Let me illustrate: Take an apple and stand with your face towards the north; make a mark any place on the surface to start from; now draw a line from it towards your right hand around the apple till you get two-thirds the circumference: that is about the nearest port in China—Hong Kong—the present route by ship, starting from Halifax. Now, commence at the place of beginning second time, and draw a line the opposite way, or towards your left hand, till you arrive at one-third the distance around the apple. This places you in China again, by way of Pacific Railway, across from British Columbia to Hong Kong, which is only one-third the distance of the old route. This, of itself, isa sufficient reason for every intelligent elector of Qneen’s County to vote for Dr. Jenkins—a supporter of Sir John—instead of voting for an obstructionist, against the best interests of his country. T am, yours very truly,

Death of Sir William J. Codring- ton,
Gen. Sir William John Codrington died in London, on Friday, in the eightieth year of his age. He was one of thelmost promi- nent of the generals, who engaged in the Crimean war, but he had been on the re- tired list of the army since 1877. Gen. Codrington was theson of Admiral Sir
November, 1804. He ended his studies at the University of Cambridge at the age of seventeen, and at once entered the army as Lieutenant of the Coldstream Guards, a corps in which he was advanced succes- sively to the ranks of captain, major, and
lieutenant-colonel, during a period of fifteen years, In 1846 he was _ pro- moted to be colonel, and in 1854)
was advanced to the rank of brevet Major- General. His command not being included in the expeditionary force against Russia on the breaking out of the Crimean war,

He did not return to England until July, 1856, after he had personally supervised the embarkment of all bis soldiers and munitions of war. In recognition of his services in the Crimea he was made a Knight Commander of the Bath on his re- turn from the field.

Fleeing from Persecution.
MOVEMENT TO FORM COLONIES OF HEBREWS,
The Bank of Montreal has received a cable despatch from London stating that Samuel Montzgue, the head of the old banking house of Montague & Co., in the British metropolis, accompanied by Rabbi Dr. Asher, secretary of conjoint con- gregations of Germansand English Hebrews in London, and Benjamin Louis Cohen, cousin of Baron Rothschild, and a member of the latter's well known banking firm, have left Liverpool for Canada, and will arrive in Montreal on August 27th. The object which the two millionaires have in coming out is to inspect large tracts of agricultural and pasturable lands in the Northwest territories, for transplanting colonies there of Russian Hebrews who have suffered persecutions, These immi- grants will be principally agriculturists and cattle raisers, with some means of their own, and further assistance will be render- ed by the London organization of which the two great capitalists are representatives. The London society will build temples for worship and schoolhouses, where the old orthodox Jewish ritual and old practices will be carried out. Although the Hebrews are divided here into several congregations, orthodox and heterodox, all will combine in giving the visiting party a hospitable and enthusiastic reception.
The outcry of the German liberal papers and the press throughout Europe led the Russian government to officially deny that it has caused Russian immigrants to be ex pelled from Germany. Other excuses have been given, but the fact remains that thousands of these unfortunates have been compelled to leave their new homes and
their native laud.

This was planted last spring, yielding seventeen bushels, making 1,020 pounds of wheat from one grain in three years.

Mr. Justin McCarthy, in a letter to the
New York Tribune, says the Home Rule
desired by the Irish national party is the same as that which the Dominion of Canada, the Australian colonies, and the States of the union enjoy. He says that he has certain knowledge that at least two members of the present cabinet favor the principle, and he believes that he does not misrepresent Mr. Gladstone, when he says that the premier is “willing to be convinced that Home Rale is a necessity for Lreland.”
However, Mr. McCarthy believes that ‘some English ministries must fall and rise on the ques‘ion of Home Rule for Ire- land, before we come to the proper moment fer discussing the details of plans.” He says that the time has almost come which John Stuart Mill predicted, when the only demand the Irish people would make to their English rulers in Ireland, would be simply to take themselves off.
Captain Conder of the Palestine explo- ration fund, asserts that he has made a new and important discovery as to the site of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre. The tomb he has found is a solitary one, differ- ing from the old type of Hebrew tombs. It is near the spot where Stephen is sup- posed to have been stoned, and, contrary to the Hebrew style, contains, after the manner of the Greek tombs, a shelf where two angels could have sat—‘‘one at ihe head, the other at the feet.” The locality now known as the “Holy Sepulchre,” and covered with the church of that name, is an old Jewish tomb which was discovered in the time of the Empire Constantine. Although popular sentiment has* honored it as the tomb of Christ, scholars and ex- plorers have not with any great degree of unanimity so regarded it. One of the great obiections against it is that it was within the walls of the city, whereas the cruvifixion
