~-According to the Halifax Herald, and the Chronicle of the same place, tacitly admits its correctness, there is trouble in the Grit Cabinet of Nova Scotia. Its two ablest Ministers, Mr. Pipes, Leader of the Administration, and Mr. Fielding, serve without pay. Now patriotic as it may seem for these gentle- men to belong to a Cabinet, holding no portfolio, and, therefore, only drawing the miserable pittance of an ordinary member’s salary, they tailto see where the patriotism comes in, and are conse- quently beginning to kick, in order to secure portfolios and a salary. Mr. Pipes is a lawyer, and thinks he would like to be Attorney General, while the| present Attorney General is quite satis- fied to draw and pocket the salary him- self. And again Mr. Fielding, who is a journalist, and who is acknowledged to be the smartest politician in the Grit camp, is of opinion that his ability should have more tangible remuneration, and accordingly develops a leaning for the Provincial Secretaryship. Now, the Provincial Secretary is quite satisfied that he possesses sufficient capabilities to discharge the daties appertaining to his office, aud having no desire to make a generous trausfer of his salary over to Mr. Fielding, exhibits no anxiety to move out and make room for this latter gentleman. This solicitude on the part of Messrs. Pipes and Fielding to serve their country is really commendable. If they find avy difficulty in setiling the matter, we suggest that two more port-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The New Steamship Line.
Sir,—It is most gratifying to be able to record, that proof of the most substantial kind is not wanting to show, that the mer- chants and shippers of Prince Edward Island are fully alive to the benefits which ‘they will derive from the new hne_ of | steamers, that will shortly commence cross- ing the Atlantic in the interests of the lever-increasing trade between the Mari- \time Provinces and the Mother Country, | Although the Halifax Steam Navigation 'Co. have pushed their enterprise with the |'most commendable vigor, and thoroughly
| short time, and notwithsanding the fact that | the scheme has been literally *‘jumped” npon |the public, thereby giving shippers but a very short interval to make preparations |to patronize the new line, the inaugural | trip of the “ Sicily” from our Maritime | ports bids fair to be one of the most success- ful that has ever taken place. Even the feoae little Island” comes manfully to the
front with its warmest support, and ‘many will be agreeably surprised to ‘learn that from eight to nine thon isand cases of lobsters, besides other
| other commodities, representing a total of |nearly one-fifth of the ‘‘Sicily’s” entire }eargo will be forwarded from various parts lef the Island. It is safe to assuine that a fair patronage Was anticipated when the | terms became known, but such splendid | results as have already been achieved muat |have been quite unexpected, and will | cert sinly prove highly encouraging to the | company, as well as profitable to all inter- lested parties. The universal sympathy, which has been extended to the company \from our own Island, is quite explainable lon the grounds of lower freights and more rapid and direct communication than is procurable by any competive lines, and | secondly the thorough manner in which the | interests of the line have been looked after by our Island Agent could hardly be attend- ed with anything short of the great success | that has been reslized. In fact it might | be truthfully said that the company have been extremely fortunate in the appoint- ment of Mr. Shanks as agent for the Island owing to that gentleman’s thorough know- ledge of the necessities of such a company,
and the manner in which a _ per- manent trade can be most effectively established. The almost unprecedented
success that the company have met with so far is a good omen for the future, and if the Sicily” lands her cargo in good time and in good shape in the English market, there need be little doubt as tothe future patron- age of the line; for the superior accommoda- tion, low freights and rapid transit which have been promised to the public will be a boon of which the three Provinces will not be slow to avail themselves. Hitherto, merchants have had to put up with many delays and vexations in the importing and exporting of merchandise of every kind, and lobster packers in particular have suffered much from unnecessary tardiness in the conveyance of either specialities to British ports. It is to be sincerely hoped, however, that these arrangements will ter- minate with the advent of the new line, and that some degree of satisfaction will be the reward of all those who avail themselves of the advantage offered by the Halifax Steam Navigation Company. The ex- ceptionally good inducements held out by the promoters of this latest mercantile enter- prise have prompted the cattle shippers of New Brunswick to add their quota to the freight list. No less than two hundred and fifty head of cattle having been booked for shipment from Sackville. It is a matter for
regret that in the past shipments of live cattle have generally turn- ed out unprofitable investments. But
with the superior facilities afforded by the new steamers, this trade may yet develop into large proportions and become a source ef remuneration to both the farmer and the shippers. The ‘‘Sicily’ will be followed by the ‘‘Julia,” so that ample opportunities will be presented for the development of any Maritime trade that can be named, and now that the merchants, farmers, and shippers have an outlet heretofore un- avilable, let them exhibit a corresponding
folics be opened at good salaries, in order | to give them all an opportunity to lay | their services at their country’s feet.
—Mr. Shaw, the English Misionary at} Tamatave, who was «#rrested by Admiral Pierre aud disgracefully treat-| ed while suffering imprisonment, has at} length been released. It taxed all the! ingenuity of the French Admiral to trump up a charge again-t the mission- ary which would warrant his being held aprisover. ‘he first explanation offer- ed, but subsequently withdrawn as it might imply more than was intended, was that Mr. Shaw had been acting as an English spy, and engaged in exciting the Hovas to revolt. This explanation was drupped, however, aud it was said that Mr. Shaw was not held as an Englishman at all, but as a Hova, having cast his lot in for life with that nation, aod being the confident adviser of the Queen of Madagascar. But it so turns out, that Mr. Sahw had neither incited the Hovas to rebellion nor had he chang- ed his nationality in order to become the Queen’ chief minister. Asa missionary he had gone out, and during his residence there a missionary he remained. After having arrested him the French author- ities found themselves at a loss what to do with him. So the next question which presented itself was how to get rid of him in the most dignified manaoer possible. This bas been dove by trying him and finding him not guilty. Of course no other conclusion could have been reached, nor was it desirable that any other conclusion should be reached. But Mr. Shaw rightly demands that some reparation be made for his im- prisonment, nor will he be satisfied until that be dove. Mr. Shaw is baeked up in this demand by the public opinion of England, which calls upon France to make ample atonement for the injury.

spirit of enterprise to that displayed by the company, which has provided them with the means of placing within the insatiable maw of the English market whatever products they may choose to put there. Of late
years @ vast amount of grumbling has been heard in regard to the mferior accommoda- tion that shippers have had to contend with in getting freight to and from the old country. Such grumbling will no longer be consistent, and no excuse can now pre- sent itself as to why we should not let the world know that we are in possession of an agricultural paradise,and unlimited fish- ing resources by means of an extensive ex- portation of the products of the soil and of ihe sea.

ROW HLL’S “Patent Annular Elliptic” Lenses, For the Better Improvement of Defective Eyesight.
—_ + —_— "Oi
A most extraordinary discovery in the manufacture of Spectacle Lenses has recently been made and patented by Jonathan R. Rowell.
The ** Annular Elliptic Lens” is so constructed as to gather the rays of light and transmit them through a wider ravge of vision than any other lens in use. It produces an apparently enlarged area at the point at which the object is seen, 80 as to adapt itself to eyes of ditlerent requirements, without trying or wearying the optic serves, conse- quently will require less frequent changing of lenses than those ordinarily in use. By reason of the rays of light passing through the centre of the lens which meet or come to a focus, at say 14 inches from the glass, the range of vision is strengthened by illuminating the darkened space around the focal point where the concentrated rays are thrown to the centre. The object of the surrounding bevelled ring is to direct the concentrated rays, so as to overspread the dark surface, making it lighter. This condi- tion is attained by having the beveled or polished ring su inclined to the axis of the lens as to produce a separate and distinct focal point. This increase of light at the focal point renders objects placed therein more clearly visible, and has the effect of pro- ducing an enlarged area of light, thereby preventing dimness of vision pecvliar to lenses constructed on the old plan.
Prof. A. K, Eaton, of Brooklyn, says:—I have worn the pair of Annular Ellipti- Eye-Glasses you furnished me with some three months ago, and after critical examina- tion I find they certainly have all the advantages claimed for them. The two curves of the lens give, of course, two distinct focal points, and were the human eye nothing more than an ordinary optical instrument, there would be no advantage in the use of such lenses. But the eye in its perfect condition possesses the property of involuntary adjustment for different distances. When it loses this power through age, or otherc wise, ordinary glasses enable the eye to work ai a given distance, but do not restore the quality of adjustability. This is positively effected by the Annular Elliptic Lens, which enable the eye to adjust itself for distance within certain limits, which are determined by the foci of the different curses. This the public will appreciate when fully under- stood.”
We are so convinced of the advantages possessed by these Spectacles that we offer to take back Spectacles sold by us during the past three months, and that are not dam- aged, in part payment,—of the New Patent Lenses, this offer to hold good for one month
