Sir John Macdonald.

Dimmed thy bright eyes, Ob Canada! Bedimmed with the incense of woe; Hushed thy youug joypeals of gladness W hose heart thrilled to thine lieth low. Crest heart ! which in truest devotion, Kept faith te its earliest shrine ; Great land | widely girthed of each ocean ; His life-time of service was thine.

Well may'st thou weep, Oh Canada ! Rade wert thou, an antutored child,

W hen first his strong, firm hand clasped thine, And led thee o’er thy native wild.

| And cleared the mists from thy young eyes As with magician's gifted wand ;

Till Hope's bright dawn illumed thy skies, And glorified this boundless land.

The mind astate discerned thy force, The springs of pleaty watered dearth, And raised from infound, ample source, The noblest structure on ibis earth. The home where freeborn suuls ave iree, Where, ‘acath blue skies, o'er rich green sou, No worship bends the huinble knee, Save homage to fair Freedom's God.

Embatm his memory, Canada ! Nor taint with ill his lustrous name, Who loved thee dearer than his life, Who lightly set 'geinst thee, earth's fame; Not now ! through meny an after year, With calm, cool retrosp2ct of time, Sball all bis long life-work appaar ; Ia graudeur fitting and sublime.

Though sore thy heart, Oh Canada!

Grudge uvt thy Chief his well-earned rest; The veteran who hath braved the strife,

May fold his arms o'er peaceful breast. Droop bauners o'er bis houored bier !

Strew iumerteles of every clime ! Hie larger liie, in nobler sphere,

Is hedged no more with bounds of time.

The Dust Nuisance.

Ir is pleasing to see that the City Coun- cillors have at last shown a disposition to grapple in « business-like way with the dust nuisance—to handle it without gloves. And it’s not before time. Dust been king hére for several years past, despite the

spoke of the source of enjoyment the

gardens, they said, had occasioned much comment both at home and abroad, and so far as they could ascertain the feeling of the citizens in the matter they were of opinion that the great bulk of the people were favorable to the gardens being maintained by thecity. The esti- mated cost of the gardens was $700 per annum, of which sum the Government gave $200, and the Council was asked to make upthe balance. Thia they thought was the more equitable way, and they though: the more satisfactory manner of maintaining this one beauty spot of which el citiz-ms receive the benefit.

A general discussion theu took pisce on che subject, and Mr. Newbery’s excellent work on the gardens in the past was re- ferred to in very complimentary terms. Most of the members were favorable to granting an extre amount for the gardens, but they thought that $500 was too much to give just now, as the estimates for the year had been made up. Some members of the Bourd, however, suggested that as ausouut be taken out of the unforseen ex: penditures and contingencies fund, as @ large sum hac been put in the estimates for this purpose.

Oa motion of Coun. Beer, seconded by Coun. Byrne, it was decided that # further suru of $250 ($100 has already been vated) should be granted fur the maintenance of Queen Square gardens, which amount aheli be taken from the contingencies fuud.

Couns. Eden and Douse brought up the matter of improving and beantifying the other squares of the city.

Councillor Byrne, seconted by Conncillor Taylor, moved that a sidewalk be placed on Weymouth Street in front of Piince of Wales College.

Tisis resolution gave rise to a long dis. cussion on sidewalks in general, which was not concluded until a motioa that Councillor Byrne have leave to withdraw his resolntion was put and carcied.

Ceuncillor Byrne next brought up the dust nuisance, and submitted a resolution placing the watering carte under the control of Councillor Beer, giving him the power of hiring the necessary mea and horses to keep the streets properly watered, The resolution was carried unanimously, the councillors all appearing pleased at the idea of being thus able to clear chair skicts of responsibility tor the dust nuisance

opened at Summerside this morning. The

aster of the Rolls (the Hon. E. J. Hodg- son) presided. Nineteen grand jurors in- attendance. Thre» bills of indictment were sent to the grand jury against Bruce Parsons, John Yerry and Wm. McKinnon for breaking into Wright Bros’. store, and stealing therefrom. ‘There was slau an indictment sent against Wealey Rogers, fur assaulting Frank Rossin, intending to do grevious bodily harm.

After His Lordship had disposed of the criminal business to come before the jury, he stated that he deemed it to be his duty to call their attention to the Canada Tem- perance Act. Complaints had been made that the selling of intoxicating liquor stil! continues, He felt it hisdaty to imstruct them that it was their duty to present any ene who hal been guilty of violating the, law, and who had net been punished for sw doing. If there had been remissuesa on the part of Magistrates, neglect of duty by constables, refusal of witnesses to obey their subpceaas, a! of these were illegal and wrong. They had the right, aud indeed it was their duty in the words of the oath they had taken ‘“‘without fear, favor or affection,” to present ali things truly which came to their knowledge. There might be differences of opinion as to the Temperance Act, as to whether its provisions wore well adapted to. the object it had in view, with all considerations of that kind they had nothing to do.

It wae the law of the land, and while it continued on the statute it must be obeyed, and

he charged them that it waa their duty to make presentment not merely of those whu were guilty of violating its provisions by selling liquor, butalso of magistrates and bailiffs and constables whose neglect or remisaness of dinty (where euch duty exist- ed) permitted the Act to be a dead letter. They had ample power to summon all such witnesses as might. be necessary and the sheriff would exeeute the subpernas and the Court would see that the parties attended.

Hia Lordship alluded tu the death of Sir John Macdonald as an event caleulated to call forth the heart-felt sorrow of the whole of Canada. Those who knew him and loved him only could tell ofthe loss they had sustained. There were many who had known him persoually and who had differed. from him as to his policy which they were constrained to oppose, but in the ce of death, by his open grave the dark dwel- ling of silence and reeonciliation, all contro< versies ceased, all strivings were hushed. However meu differed as to his statesman. ship, all admitted that he loved Canada well and that all his efforts were directed to make her prosperous and free. His death

The Mayor said the resolution gave Councilior Beer authority over both men and carts.

Oa motion of Councillor Morris it was decided to foreclose the mortgage on the McQuaid property, and dispose of it by auction.

Councillor Morris said the Cémmittee appointed to look after the applications for the position of City Engineer were not ready to report. He said it was understood that the Local Government were about procuring an Engineer, and it was thought the same person might do the work for the city. When the Local Government was heard from on the subject the cemmittee would make their report.

Mayor Haviland then referred to the action of the Lieutenant Governor in pre- venting persons from walking along the shore to the Park upon the day on wich Her Majesty's Birthday was celebrated, quoting the law on the subject (which has already been given in Tur Examiner) to show that the proceeding was illegal—that every citizen had the right to walk along the shore.

The Premier's Death.

Excuanoks to hand this morning bring additional particulars of the death of Sir John A. Macdonald, and -many and elo- quent are the tributes paid the dead states- man. Everywhare thegreat loss sustained by the nation is deeply felt. The end of the premier’s Jong battle with death exme shortly after ten o'clock on Saturday even- ig, as is already known. More than ; thirty hours before this time the last indi- cations of consciousness ceased. §The dy- ing man uo longer took nourishment, his breath began to come in short, quick gasps, the beating of the puise grew fainter and more spasmodic. The learned doctors be- fore midnight on Friday were certain that he had net more than an hour or two to live ; no one of them thought it possible that life could remain in that bedy until daylight. But the morning came and passed and night came down again before the end. At nine o'clock Dr. Powell notic- ed that the final change was at hands. The ‘family and most intimate personal friends Were gathered in. An hour later they saw him breathe his last. Around his bedside were Lady Macdonald, Hugh John Mac- donald, the Premier's son, and his wiie; Mra. Fitzzibbon, sister of the Istter; Hon. Edgar Dewlney and Mra. Dewdney, who have been most intimate friends of the household; Joseph Pope, the Premier’a sée- retary, Frid. White, of the mounte! polics force, who was his private secretary for many years; George Sparks, « relative of Sir John; Wr. Powell, the family physician, and Ben Chilton, for many years the Prime Minister's trusted maasenger. It was 10.2 when the last bulletin conveyed to the out- side world the tidings of the death of Sir John Macdonald, and a few minutes later the fire bell on City Hall tolled out the message to the people of tle place which has been his home for a quarter of a century.
