LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

, ri ee TEA. ae Ta ovoi

Srr,—My attention having been directed toa letter in Tae Examiner of the 2nd inst., over the signature of Edward J. Hodgson, in which it is stated that he obtained from the Lord Bishop of Mon- treal an admission that by the suppression of certain facts, he was induced to admin- ister the sacrament of confirmation to cer- tain converts of the mission.

| In reply to the above I am authorized to letate that the Bishop of Montreal has, and so far as he knows all who have anything @ do with this mission have the highest ‘confidence in it. The Bishop also should |be glad to administer the rite of confirma- |tion to as many converts as Mr. Tucker would bring him. He has no recollection of, nor does he believe that there was, ‘suppression of certain facts.”

| With reference tc the recognition of the Sabrevois Mission as part and parcel of the work of the Church of England in Canada, I have only to add that since its formation it has had the sanction and is under the supervision of the Bishop of Montreal, its missionaries are employed by the Col. and Con. Church Society, which is under the patronage of the Queen and the three ‘Archbishops, and has for its Vice-Presi- sidents and supporters Home and Colonial and British North American Bishops, who | would not for one moment sanction ary |missionary work in the church which would ‘misrepresent her doctrines and discipline. Yours, etc.,

Strange Confession of Murder.

In December, 1877, an old woman named ‘Sillitoe was discovered brutally murdered in her house at Hanford, near Stoke-on- | Trent, Eng., and a considerable sum of ‘money was stolen from the premises. On the 30th July last some boys were playing /near the Manor Farm when they noticed a ‘glass bottle floating in the river Trent. This, on being opened, was found to con- tain a remarkable document, which pur- ‘ports to be the confession of ‘*A. Capewell.” 'who, stating that he was in disgrace, having had toleave his work ‘‘at Bradbury's,” and also that his crippled daughter Eliza was enciente, goes on to say, “If this ‘should meet the eyes of anybody, kindly convey it to my widow and the police sta- tion, and tell them that my terror-stricken conscience compels me to confess to the murder of the poor old woman Sillitoe, at Hanford, some years ago for gain. Hoping} God will pardon my sin and take me to Gabriel’s bosom. My time is getting short, so I put this small piece of paper in this bottle and throw it into the water at Bucknall water-wheel. Bless my dear old wife and daughter, and I am now going to Stone to drown myself. Hoping all young men will take this asa lesson from poor Capewell,” A body was found floating in the North Stafford canal at Meaford, near Stone, on the Ilth of July, much decom- osed. The widow of Capewell has since identified the boots taken from the corpse as those worn by her husband, who mys- teriously disappeared some time ago, and concerning whose fate no clue had been obtained till the recovery of the body from the canal. The police are busily in- vestigating the matter. 72> P-

The King of Abyssinia.

The despatches state that King John of Abyssinia will help the English army which is to operate for the relief of Gen. (rordon. King John is in a position to render valu- able assistance to the English, and he ought to do it; for itis to the English that he owes his throne. When Lord Napier, of Magdala, was out in Abyssinia straighten- ing out the affairs of that country, John was governor of one of the Provinces, and he helped the English to the best of his ability. Asa reward he got some old muskets and ammunition with which he made himself master of the country—the King being dead—and, ten years ago, was generally acknowledged as its head. But Egypt disputed his authority, and took some territory which made his country an inland one. King John has been for some time vainly trying to get this back, and, probably, he relies on his service to Eng- land to restore him his territory. In a cer- tain sense the King of Abyssinia is a Christian, though his Christianity would hardly pass muster among any of the European or American churches. He traces his lineage back to the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon, regardless of the re- flections thus cast upon that Queen’s moral character. He will prove avery use- ful ally.

Coals to Newcastle. Referring to a recent experimental ex- portation of Canadian cottons to England, the sprightly Toronto World remarks:—

This will be an ‘‘eye opener’ for our friends over the water, surely.. What will Manchester men say, what will the London Times say—to this ‘‘cheeky” proceeding on the part of young Canada? That this protectionist colony should actually dare to ship manufactured goods to the mother country is something unheard of. That the goods can realize as much as cost can scarcely be expected, we should say. One thing this venture will accom- plish, however, it will do more than a hun- dred newspaper articles and a thousand business letters besides, to open the eyes of people ‘tat home” to the fact that Canada both is and is determined to be a manufac- turing country. A few such shipments would work a revolution in English opinion of Canada’s destiny.

The Arctic Horrors. DISINTERMENT OF LIEUTENANT KISLING-

BCRYS BODY — CONFIRMATION OF THE

STORIFS OF CANNIBALISM—LITTLE EXCEPT

THE BONES REMAINING —AFFIDAVIT OF

TRUSTWORTHY PHYSICIANS,

Advices from Rochester, N. Y., of the 14th inst., report that most heartrending disciosures were miade in that city, regard- ing the remains of Lieut. Kislingbury, of the Arctic expedition,who died amid Arctic snow last June. Itis established beyond all question that cannibalism was resorted to by the starving men of the Greely ex- pedition, and shows that the lives of these

saved, were saved only by eating the dead bodies of their companions. Kislingbury’s relatives in Rochester,

were filled with horrible doubts as soon as they learned that disclosures had been made in New York, regarding cannibalism among the members of the expedition, and they determined to learn the truth by ex- huming the remains and having them ex- amined by competent physicians. The services of L. J. Jeffrey, undertaker, were secured,and with the assistance of five men, he accomplished the work of taking up the casket from its resting place. ‘This was done in the presence of Assistant Superin- tendent Mandeville, and the remains were taken, as unearthed, to a chapel near the entrance of the cemetery.

There at eight o’clock the casket was opened by Mr. Jeffreys and Samuel R. Carter, in the presence of Frank W. Kis- lingbury and John P. Kislingbury, brothers of the deceased; Dr. Charles Buckley, Dr. F, A. Mandeville, Superintendent Stillson, Assistant Superintendent Mandeville, and two reporters of the Post-Express.

The work of opening the heavy iron re- ceptacle was found comparatively easy, all there was to do being to unscrew the fifty- two iron bolts which held down the lid. The noiseless ease with which the latter was pried from iis bed showed that there was an absence of gas in the casket, and it was feared that there might be no body in the casket at all. Feeling his way into the mass of snowy cotton waste which filled the coffin toe the top, Mr. Jeffreys soon ex- claimed: ‘*He is there.” A strong odor of alcohol, but no very pronounced sugges- tions of decay emanated from the casket. Dr. Buckley, who had put oa a pair of black leather gioves, uncovered the lower portion of the coffin’s tenant, and then it appeared as if one of the legs—the right one—was missing; but when the waste was all removed, it became apparent that the limb was tied under the left one.

The casket was next placed upon the floor and the enshrouded form taken from it and placed upon a table. On the bottom of the now empty receptacle were noticed two large spots of blood, but they were pronounced a common occurrence at burials. The hands of the undertaker and physi- cian now began to cut the stitches and un- wind the white sheeting which formed the first covering. The sheet was taken away, the tarred rope entwining the blanket cut, and work of taking off this last covering began.

Slowly the blanket was removed. The blackened, fleshless face, showing marks of the Arctic soil, bore no semblance to the dead man. The skin was dried to the skull. The sightless sockets and the half-opened mouth, gave the dead man a look of mute, appealing agony. The remains Were com- pletely indentified as those of Lieutenant Kislingbury.

The physicians made a thorough examin- ation, and the remains were then placed back into the casket And again lowered to the grave.

The Peculiar People.

At Chelmsford assizes, Eng., on Thure- day, 31st July, William Dedman, a laborer, was indicted for the manslaughter of Lavinia Dedman, his daughter, on June 12th last. Mr. Grubbe, who prosecuted, said that the prisoner belonged to a sect called Peculiar People. The little child in question, about {8 months old, was taken ill on the 4th June, and on the 12th June she died, no medical man having been called in. The Elder was sent for and he placed his hands upon her and did all that Elders were in the habit of doing on such occasions. At the post-mortem examination the doctor was strongly of opinion that the death of the child was caused by inflam- mation of the covering of the lung. Had proper medica! treatment been adopted the child would have probably been saved altogether. Mrs. Everitt, one of the Peculiar People, was called and gave evi- dence that the child was supplied with port wine, brandy, etc The Commissioner: What is the Elder of the church? How does he get his living /—Witness: He is a carpenter.— The Commissioner: And you believe, as a member of the Peculiar People, in calling in a carpenter to pray over the child, and think it will cure it! Witness: We believe that the Lord will bless it and answer the prayer of the Elder. In defence the prisoner mentioned cases where illness had been cured by anointing the oilin the name of the Lord and by prayer, and said he had thirteen children, three of whom had died under the doctor's hands. The jury returned a verdict of ‘‘Guilty,’ but recommended the prisoner to mercy. In sentencing the prisoner to a month’s imprisonment without hard labor, the Commissioner said he hoped this would be a warning to others against continuing in their folly.

The steamship Vanccuver,from Liver- pool to Montreal on Sunday, brought £50,- 000 sterling for the Bank of British North America. A special guard of the Govern- ment Harbor Police was applied for and granted, to mount guard over the money. Not till Monday, was the Captain relieved of his charge and the gold carted to the bank. The management of the bank,states that the first two importations were for the

Dominion Government, and the last one for the bank itself.
