The Greatness of Canada. Ix u recent address on the Canadian Northwest, Rev. Principal Grant said:

‘*Having reached the Northwest—and the expense now is comparatively so trifling that nobody may be deterred on that ac- count—let us take a look at its proportions. Here I am in a difficulty; you can learn all about its sizo in books, but to tell you that it is eo many miles long and so many broad does not con- vey a vivid idea to the average mind. I meet with hardly anyone who has an ade- quate idea of its vastaess. How, then, can I tell you about it in an hour’s talk? Suppose that I were to lecture on country like Spain that ence dominated Christendom—!I could only begin to ds-

scribe it in a night’s lecture. Suppose my subjeet were France, Imperial, maguificent France, you would have te

give mea week. It would be still more so if I took [taly or Greees, or Switzerland, or the Fatherland, or Holland or Belgium, the cock-pit of Europe. If my subject were Russia, how many hours would you give me to describe the great cellossus of the North? Well our Northwest is immensely larger than all these countries put to- gether.” -_—— — —-_--»> <p o-

“What is This ?”

Mr. Murpocu has a long letter in the Halifax Chronicle. The following is his reply to the ** What is this?’’ para- graph :—

To make your intimation against me all the more effective, you quote the Scotiish Amevi- can's paragraph, ‘‘ What is this?’ Again, I am led to.wonder why this ready servitude on your own, the S. A.’s part, to the op- pressors? You quote an insinuation against me, but do not tell me what the alleged fact or facts are. Something against my character ? I can only surmise who serves up che dirt into which you and the Scoitish-Ameican are so ready to put your hands. To say the least of it, yeu should have been more careful of your own fingers. It is an attempt to blacken me, I think, by associating me with the dynamite heroes, while in reality, so far as I can see, you are joining hands with them yourselves im giving currency to their reports I have the honor of being denounced by O’ Donovan Rossa and maligned by Crowe, who claimed to be the maker of the explosives found in the ship at Liverpool ; and you and the S<o’fish- American lend yourselves to throw the dirt prepared for you by such hands. This is the only thing I can make of the ‘‘What is this ?” paragraph, and [| shall oaly wish you joy of your work as cat’s-paws.

The Dynamite Scare. | | es A TON OF DYNAMITE MOVING THROUGH rom

CITY—THE EXPERJENCE OF A PAIR OF | } PRUCKMEN- -THE CITY SAID TO BE IN JBO-

PARDY—WHAT'S TO BE DONE.

The brigantine ‘ Sirius,” which arrived from Montreal last week, had among her freight forty boxes, marked ‘* Powder,” shipped by the Hamilton Powder Co, It was consigned to Messrs. H. H. Fuller & Co., Hal fix, in care of William Koughan, | Esq., of this city, who received instruc ‘tions ** to re-ship thirty boxes te Halifax per ‘‘M. A. Starr” and ten boxes to | Picton; but, ‘if trouble arose, to ship the whole quantity to Halifax.” The shipment was landed at Connolly's wharf, and was handled as roughly as if it were the com monest dry goods. It was then removed to Mr. McGowan’s warehouse on Queen’s Wharf, to await the arrival of

the Halifax boat. The steamer 7 . ? . . eid «

‘‘Edgar Stuart” arrived on Friday,

but Capt. Doane refased te take the

‘ powder” on board without instructions from the Company. These instructions were telegraphed for but were not received previons to the sailing of the steamer on Friday evening. Thas the ‘* powder” wae left in the Agent’s warehouse on Queen's Wharf, and Mr. MacGowan thinking such a quantity unsafe, consuited the Harbor Master, Mr. Small, in reference to it, and he advised him to remove it to a magazine. Perinission was asked of Mr. A. A. Baldwin, to have it stored in his on St. Poter’s Road, and permission was granted. On Saturday evening Truckmen Pollard and White were

engaged to remore the ‘‘powder.”” Mr. Baldwin, however, instructed one of his clerks to examine the boxss

as they passed his store to the maga- zine. This was dene and the discovery wa3 then made that the boxes did not contain powder at all—they contained dynamite. They were similar in size to patent egg-boxes, and were well made, with covers screwed down close. The dynamite was in cartridges six inches long, closely and secorely packed in saw dust. A circular giving instruction how to use dyna- mite accompanied each box. When the announcement was made that the boxes contained dynamite, the truckmen were struck with dismay. Visions of O’Deno- van Rossa, Crowe, Thomassin, Hartmann, Mutch and other dynamate fiends flitted by them. They positively refused to go fur- ther with the infernal barden; but Mr. McGowan, on arrival, showed that the same danger Jwould be incurred return- ing it to the warehouse as by proceeding to the destination. The truckmen, after con- siderable persuasion and the payment of an extra dollar, went on their way imagin- ing terrible explosions ef various kinds. No slight manifestation of the peril was the falling of one box from the truck to the hard road. Still no terrible catastrophe occurred, and the truckmen have much to be thankful for. They arrived, but hed scarcely a dozen boxes stored when a mes- senger was sent by Mr. Baldwin,forbidding them to put the dynamite in the magazine. The boxes stored Were taken out, and with the balance, piled in the fielda short dis- tance from Mr. Essory’s brewery, where they stillremain in charge ef two watch- men, awaiting the consignees orders, as Mr. Koughan refused to have anything to do with them.

Mr. MacGowan informed the Mayor of the presence of so dangerous an explosive in the suburbs of the city. He, after con- sulting the Recorder, decided that it was a matter with which the Customs autheri- ties should deal. Mr. Currie was in- formed, and he concluded that the Marine Department should take charge ef it. Con- sequently Mr. Lord has telegraphed. to Ottawa for instructions. In the meantime Mr. McGowan will store the dynamite in a stable near St. Peter’s Road, and leave it in charge of watchmen.

If it is correct that the boxes contain dynamite, there is no reason why the shipper who made the shipment under false pretences, and ex- posed life and property to danger, should nut be rigidly punished. ‘The fine for an effsnse such as this is, we learn, as high as

$2,000.

A Horrible Tragedy.

A horrible tragedy has eccnrred at Lange Gardien, Ottawa County. Elie Cousineau lost his farm by not redeeming a mortgage on it, and Paul Patrie was put in charge of the property. Frequent disputes arose be- tween these two men. Last Wednesday when Cousineau, met Patrie, after a few words had passed between them, Cousineau drew a seven shooter and began firing at Patrie, who was filled with bullets in a very short space of time, every shot taking effect. Patrie, who is a man of nearly seventy years of age, fell immedi- ately after the first shot in attempting to get away, and Consinean tired at him. shot after shot as he lay pleading for mercy upon the ground. The scoundrel, Cou- sineau, coolly walked away after cowmitting the dastardly deed. Patrie was picked up by his son and carried into his own house, where Dr. Routier was summoned. ‘Three bullets were found lodged in Patrie’s arm, and fourin his grein. The most of these were extracted, but the injuries inflicted are of the most serious nature. Consineau | was arrested and committed to jail. ~~.

A Man Still Living who was Born in 1699.

Some industrial scribe, with a keen scent for news, has found an old chap living on one of the West India Islands, who was born (so the story runs) in the year 1699, and is consequently 182 years of age, being, with the single exception of Peter Czartan, the Mungarian peasant, the most extraor- dinary case of longevity of which we have any account outside the book of Genesis. The report says that the venerable man noW living in the West Indies wasa soldier in the Spanish arms, but was discharged therefrom in the year 1724, in consequence of wounds received in battle, and he has therefi.re tar:ied in this vale of tears longer than any other member of the human fam- ily. ‘The greatest instance of authenticated longevity of all moderr: times is that cf the Hungarian peasant, Peter Czartan, who was born in 1586 and died in 1772, at the extraordinary old age of 185 years, six tmonthe and five days.

Lobster Packers on the Close Season. T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Srr,—I have just read the Seere- tary’s Report of the Convention held by the Lobster Packers of P. E. Isiand on the 12th Octeber last. Some of the speakers at this purely non political, non-partizan meeting spoke strongly against the law in regard to the lobster close season, one of them declaring it to be nothing more or less than ‘Sa gigantic nuisance, the object of whieh was to give large paekers in New Brunswick aud Nova Scotia the monopoly of lobster packing.’’ This statement, [ have reason to believe, was not endorsed by many of the packers present. The majority of them have more confidence in the present Dominion Government and the Marine Department—of which the Hon. J. ©. Pope was, at the time the order in council establishing a close season was passed — the active and patriotic head, than to believe that this law was put in force for no other object than the benefit- ting of a few lobster monopolists. The law waa established out of purely pat- riotie motives, and for the sole purpose of perpetuating an industry of the very high- est importance to every resident of the

Maritime Provinces Whether the close season is right or wrong, or whether it covers the proper

period for closing or not are subjects for criticism at a Lobster Convention or any other suitable place; but a statement which directly accuses the present Deminion Gov- ernment with having introduced a law for no higher object than to advance the in- terests of a fewlobster packers in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is unfair and injudicious to say the least. At the time the present close season was instituted, I am aware that it was said that it was prompted by a ring ot lobster packers, for the purpose of removing the glut in the European market by reducing the sapply of lobsters. What are the results! On the Atlantic coast, where the close season is longest—frem the Ist August to lat April— the supply has greatly increased. The supply in P. E. Island has also largely in- creased, and that too since protection to lobaters and home industries was intro- duced. About 114,000 cases have besn packed this season against 70,000 last year. The chairman of the Convention, Mr. John Hughes, did by far the largest portion of the business last season, having handled no less than 70,900 cases. Strange that even he shou!d be of opinion that fishing is not what it should be. It is observed from these figures that the idea that the close season 1s managed by a ring of packers to lesson the supply and remove the glut in European markets is sadly out of joint with the facts.

In regard to the action of the Convention there are one or two points in which I, in common with others deeply interested in the permanency of the lobster business, would like to be informed.

1. How many Nova Scotia and New Brunswick packers were present and voted at the Island packers convention? Some say there were six ; others affirm that there were but four.

2. L notice that Mr. George L. Long- worth moved the following sensible resolu- tien :

Reso!ved.-—That it is the opinion of this meeting that it would prove beneficial to the lobster packers and fishermen of Prince Edward Island if the fishing season were extended to four months, commencing from the 15th of May to the 15th September in each year.”’

In favor of this resolution several highly intelligent gentlemen spoke, and out of a meeting of 57 packers—including Nova Scotians and New Brunswickers,—26 voted for it. The main motion, Iam aware was afterwards carried unanimously, which means that all the packers are now going to petition the Government to abolish the close season altogether as a ‘‘ teetotal nui- sance.” Whatare the noble 26 going to do about it? They declare in favor of four months fishing, and then—well then? My humble opinion is that the minority’s vote, being right in the first instance, the Gov- ernment would do well to accede to the reasonable demands of the packers by granting their request im accordance with the resolution submitted by Mr. Long- worth.

FIswERMAN,

Oct. 8, 1881.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—It is amusing to note the number of miserable little communications finding their way into our press, carping and snarling in reference to the addresses de- livered by Mr. Murdoch on frish land grievances, and also containing impudent et to the Land League cstablished

ere.

One of those generous souls, ‘‘ Carson,” “does not question,” he saya, ‘‘ the tastes of these gentlemen in establishing a branch of an association proclaimed illegal.” I always understood that we in this Do- minion lived under a free constitution, governed by laws of our own, and was not aware the coercive decrees of the Irish Executive Government had the force of law in any part of America, or more especially in Prince Edward Island.

Should the spirit which suspends Habeas Corpus, manacles and casts into dungeons the political leaders of a nation agitating peaceably for its social improvement, be imported to this the liberty-loving land of America, we would net, then, be surprised to see Mr. Blake and his followers, while counselling listening thousands to organize and give them power to lay violent hands on a law of the Nation—-the N. P.—being committed to the Government institutions at Dorchester or Kingston. And should Sir John or Sir Charles issue their warrant to do so, it is untecessary to picture the wild tumult of righteous indignation which would heave from Prince Edward to Van- couver.

‘* Carson” has apparently great respect for law, and abhorrence of anything illegal; | s0 had Shylock in the ‘‘Merchant of

Veniee.” He would have the pound of Square,—

flesh nearest the heart of his debtor, be- cause the bond, the deed, declared so, and argued, the Venetian laws must give him | the imposed penalty; and, notwithstanding

than it gave. Was Shylock, 1 would ask, any worse than the Irish landlords? The law says they must have their pound of flesh, and they are content with nothing less than the flesh and ducats of their vic- tims. And because Mr. Murdoch, in the name of humanity, says it is goed te be merciful, and gives us a picture, so far as words can, of the iniquitous system which hie forty-two yerrs of close observation en- abled him to give, a modern Shylock aska by whose sathority he speaks; and ina spirit which only shows traces of the boor, attributes motives of selfishness to Mr. Murdoch.

Sir,—Mr. Fraser may be excused for feeling irritated by the result of the prose- cution against him. But, in his letter of yesterday, he might have stated facts with regard to my testimony. In reply, I merely submit a copy of the Magistrate’s notes, which, so far as they go, are substantially correct.

Tuomas J. Leremina. this bottle before. It was brought to me yesterday. I made an analysis of it. J tried two methods to ascertain what alcohol was putin it. There is about 30 per cent of rectified spirit, i. e., what is understood as alcohol. There is about 48 to 56 per cent. of alcohol in French brandy. It is much stronger than in wine or ale. I poured out 120 minims and put it in a table spoon, and heating it, L inflamed it and kept burning it until it had lest 30 minims. This would give 25 per cent of alcohol. I tried another method, which separated the alcohol frem the mixture. (Produced bottle showing about 30 per cent. of clear alcohol.) This is the result of one ounce poured out of the bottle used by infusions (disselving) car-

I have seen

bonative ef potash (an hydron.) I sepa rated the alcohol from the mixture. The upper liquor is pure rectified spirit I[ tried it and it entirely cleared away, leaving no moisture. From my analysis this is spirituous liquor. I can-

not say what liquor.

Questioned by Mr. McLean —Suppose a pint of gin aud one oz. of Peruvian bark ? Ans.-- I would be sorry to prescribe it.

Ques.—There would be some strength in the tonic ?

Ans. —Yes.

Ques.— Druggists seil tonics ?

Ans.—Yes. The gin might act as a stimulant. There is but a small quantity of bark im it—(this.) If I werea drinker I should not object te it as a beverage. I would as soon take it asa glassof rum. I don’t think there is much tonic in this. Sherry contains from 13 to 17 per cent. of aleohol. In mixing quinine wine | would put 1 oz. and a grain of quinine wine to a wineglassful of wine. There is 13 to 17 per cent. of alcohol in ordinary quinine wine.

Tue '.ondon Standard recently stated that Mr. Gla ‘stone was likely to resigg the Chan- cellorship ofthe [~xchequer, and indeed retire altogether from public life. The Pal! Mall Gazite and Daily News say that the statement has ne foundation.

Dr, Wallace, F. R. 3. B., F.C. S. Gas Examiner to the City of Glasgow, ina lectase delivered by him, calculated that £130,000 ($650,006) a year are thrown away ia Gias. gow by the use of imperfect fittings. On the subject of Gas Burners he says; “ Another and as I think a better Burner is thet called Bray’s regulator, a: d as I consider these the best unien Burners attainable at moderate cost, I have selected them for a series of ex. periments.”

The iKeport of the Committee of the British Association of Science to enquire as to the best mears forthe developmen: of light from Coal Gas of different qualities—comprisi Dr. William Wallace, Professor Dittmar, and Mr, Thomas Wills, F. C.S., F. I. C. E., showed that Bray’s Burner's yielded the greatest amount of light of all the two or three score of Burners reported upon. which incladedall the Burners of repute in the market,

In & pamphlet upon Light and Heat pub- lished by BR. B. Taber, A. M., be says; “Phe cost of Gas as compared with other illumin. ants is much more economical when rightly used, than many suppose. From experiments made for this purpose, the following results have been obtained. They were made barning samples otf Devec’s Brilliant Oil and ordinary Oils, and testing their illuminating power, It was found that Coal Gas costing ene cent at $3 per thousand feet, gave a light equal to 18 candles, while Devoes Brilliant Oil consuming 27.4 grammes cost. ing halfa cent, gave a light equal to 9 candles,

“A good Argand or Johnson's Burner, the Burner's used in the last experiment, will therefore give the light of 2 ordinary Oil Burners in direct comparison, at no greater expense in the cas» of the finer and safer grides o: Oil, Lights, however, on the author. ity of Scientists, are not to be compared in direet proportion, but in proportion to the squares of their powers, and such a com. parison with the case of the vse of Gas, its cleanliness, freedom from odor and da renders its use desirable wherever it can be qntroduced,.” Pe

As the above experiments wer¢ made with Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, and not consumed through Bray’s Burners, it will readily be seen how much more economical it is to con- sume Gas instead of Dil, when its price is only $2.63 per 1000 feet as now charged here when consumed, more especially through Bray’s Burners.

Messrs, Goodwin & Co., of Philadelphia, the well-known manufacturers of Scieptific in- struments for testing the illuminating power of Coal Gas, etc., say in their Circular to Gas Companies: “In presenting the Bray’s Stand- ard Patent Slit Union Burners and Lanterns, for which we are the sole Agents in the United States, to the attention of the public, we are convinced that we are filling a want long felt!’ They further add: ‘* The yield of ligbt from these Burners is 12 to 20 per cent, greater per cubic foot of Gas consumed than that from any flat flame Burner hitherto in- troduced, {no 4 eod tf
