Hap YreLtow Fever on Boarp.—The Norwegian barque Sagnedalen arrived at Point du Chene on Saturday night. The crew came on shore and mixed with the people, though it was afterwards learned that two men had died during the voyage from Rio Janeiro, it is supposed of yellow fever. (One of the men died June 5th, the other June 7th. Allthe men were sick, but the others recovered. It is now 35

THe Woman Wrys.—A recent New York despatch says: Mrs. Patrick O’Dowd, of Jersey City, is a thrifty, robust woman, with a worthless husband. Every night for the last 10 months Mr. O’Dowd has come home drunk and abused her. She has the marks of his fist and a stick all over her arms and broad back. A few nights ago he beat her extraordinarily hard, and she had him locked up. In a police court next morning, however, she withdrew her charges against him, after he had sworn on the Bible to observe these rules, which she had written on foolscap paper in a big hand ; *‘ He must agree to be home every night at 9 o'clock. He must agree to make a living for me. He must take the pledge and keep it. He must promise never to strike me again under any circumstances. He must earn at least $9 a week and give me $6 of it.” After kissing the Bible, Patrick kissed Mrs. O'Dowd, and they left the court to- gether.

Horse Breepine.—The Amherst Record says : It is nocredit to the farmers of Cum- berland that they cannot supply the de- mand for horses for general purposes at home. Since navigation opened last spring, about sixty horses have been brought here from P. E. Island, and sold at prices which, presumably, have given the P. E. Island farmer and the dealer fair protits, and paid the cost of transportation. With facilities equal to those of their brethren across the strait, we ought, not only to raise our own horses, but, like them, export iarge numbers yearly to the United States. There appears to be a steady demand for carriage horses of good size, style and speed, and also for active draught horses. We have enterprising horsemen who have expended large sums in providing facilities for producing sueh animals, and there is every reason why the stock-raiser should embrace the opportyn-

ity.

To Dakota and Back.

NO, VII.

At 10 p. m. on May 17th, I left Wahp- ton, Dak., by the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway, arriving at St Paul at 7.25 next morning. Except for about forty miles beyond Minneapolis, I had no oppor- tunity of seeing the character of that part of Minnesota lying between that city and the Dakota boundary, as I travelled in both directions during the night. On the morn- ing of the 18th May I left St. Paul by the St. Paul and Duluth Railway for Hinckley, a lumbering town in Northern Minnesota, about midway between St. Paul and Dul- uth. I tarried two days at this point with Mr. Peter Gavin, formerly of Alberton, whose family joined him a few days pre- viously. Mr. Gavin has a good position in the office of one of the most extensive lumber firms in that section of the west. The prettiest summer resort] saw on my trip was Ramley Park, at White Bear Lake, twelve miles out from St. Paul, on the St. Paul and Duluth road. Itisa lovely spot, Sand is to St. Paul what Lake Minnetouka is to Minneapolis—the objec- tive pvint of thousands of citizens who seek a place of recreation during the leisure hours of the summer season. Between St. Paul and Hinckley, on the line of the St. ‘Paul and Duluth Railway, there is some good cultivated country, but the road runs

The only towns of any note through which the road passes are Rush City and Pine City. I bade adieu to my friends in Hinck- ley at noon on May 20th, and on the same evening left St. Paul on the home-stretch by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway to Chicage. This is rather a roundabout way of travelling between these two points, being over 100 miles longer than by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. Leaving St. Paul in the evening, I saw but little of the country, as darkness closed down soon after we lett Minneapolis. The only object of interest I noticed be- sides the waterfalls, immense flouring mills and grain elevators of Minneapolis before night set in, was the location of the State Fair Grounds and Trotting Park at Ham- line, about midway between the two cities. The best shows in the Northwest are an- nually held here, as well as some of the most successful trotting meetings. 1 obtain- ed a view of some of the exhibition buildings when passing the grounds. They appeared to be commodious and well finished structures, and no doubt ad- mirably adapted to the purposes for which they are used. The morning of May 2lst found us at Cedar Rapids, Lowa, a town of considerable Importance. The lowa soii is a rich black loam, and corn, which was then just high enough to be seen in rows, appeared to be the principal crop. Grass was far advanced, and [fall wheat out ia full head. From Cedar Rapids to Davenport, a large town on the Mississippi, which river forms the eastern boundary of the state, the Rock Island Road runs through a magnificent agricultural country. There is a wealth of tree culture, though an absence of forest. There are na great treeless stretches ynder cultivation, as are to he seen in almost every agricultural dis- trict in this province. Most Island farm- ers, it appears to me, make a great mistake by not leaving more trees standing: Be- sides being useful for purposes of shade and shelter, a few well kept trees add materi- ally to the appearance of the landscape, especially when growing around the home- stead, the usually bare look of which is thereby greatly relieved. Between Daven- port and Rock Island, on the Illinois side of the river, the Mississippi is crossed by a fine bridge, constructed at a cost of over a million dollars. The river is not wide at this point; the current is rapid, and the water muddy. Between here and Chicago there are several towns, some of consider- able importance. Moline, adjoining Rock Island, on the Mississippi, has large manu- factures of plows and farm wagons. Joliet, forty miles froy, the Chicago end of the line, ia also a manufacturing town. In fact every western town has its manufactures of some kind or other, that whole country being a vast line of mechanical as well as agricultural industry. The character of the country through northern Illinois appears to be much the same as Eastern Iowa. I was amply repaid for taking the longer route from St. Paul to Chicago, by being enabled to see 250 miles of the finest agri- cultural country in the older settled parts. I also made as good connection for the east at Chicago asif I had taken one of the shorter competing routes, the greater por- tion of each of which runs through Wis- consin. Between Rock Isiand and Chicago, a distance of nearly 20C miles, there is a double track. The road runs for a long distance on the flats beside « small stream, and on the other side of the track are high stone bluffs, of a light yellow color. Here and there along this part of the line there are steam factories, where this stone is manufactured intv cement.

I reached Chicago at 1.35 p. m., on May 2lst, and left for the east at 3.25 same afternoon, by the Chicago and Grand Trunk limited Express. Wishing to visit Kala- mazoo, which is twelve miles off the line over which I was travelling, I laid over at Vicksburg, a small town 150 miles from Chicago, which point 1 reached soon after eight o'clock.

Between Clffeago and Western Canada there are two through lines of railway, the Chicago and Grand Trunk to Port Huron, and the Michigan Central to Detroit. I can, of course, only speak of the line over which I passed, But I have no hesitation in recommending the former road to the fa- vorable consideration of parties contem- plating a trip West. The Limited Express going t makes fast time, stopping only at the principal stations along the line. The train hands are courteous and atten- tive, and the car accommodation all that could be desired. The palace sleeping and parlor cars run on the trains of this line contain all the latest improvements that modern genius has so far planned

travellers, while the dining car service is second to none. Another commendable feature of the train service on this populer line is that through coaches are ran from Chicago to Toronto and the other princi- pal Canadian cities, without change. The scenery through the fine agricultural and fruit-growing State of Michigan is quiet but picturesque. A. McD.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Pitiful Tale.

Sir,—Just before entering the ferry boat at Southport to cruss over to Charlottetown a few days ago, I happened to step into the ferry house and there fell inte conver- sation with an old man, who informed me that he had charge of that building, and that he lights the fires, keeps them going, sweeps the rooms,accommodates travellers, is at his post from 6 a. m. tol0p. m., from the opening to the close or navi

tion, and receives for these duties, faith...

fully performed during this period, the munificent sum of $25! I confess I was astounded at this revelation emenating fromthe old man, and felt curious to know what system ef economy he pursued in order to subsist on this scanty pittance. His predecessor in oftice disc the same duties for the same pay. He, teo, had the same pitiful tale to tell. His looks, his mien, his clothing, all gave evidence of the correctness of his story. The $25 was doing its work. The shaking, shivering, hungry form, clothed in a threadbare cast- off suit, proclaimed to the passer-by ‘‘man’s inhumanity to man.” Let this stain on the fair fame of P. E, Island be wiped ont by paying the poor old man in charge of the ferry house a salary sufficient to buy food and clothing. Pity the sorrows of the poor old man,

Whose trembling limbs have borne him to

your door,

Whose days are dwindled to the shortest span,

ee give relief and Heaven will bless your

store.

Careless Delivery of Freight.

_ Sir,—The careless delivery of freight is 18 nO unusual occurrence to the people of East River. It is not much to a person's advantage to have goods shipped to Hickey’s Wharf and have them landed on Haggarty’s, Cranberry, etc. If the persons at present in charge of sthe Heather Belle are unfit to perform their duties, they should at once be discharged and competent persons employed in their stead.

Yours, &c.,

A Murderer in London.

CAUGHT RED-HANDED,

A es from London to the New York World (July 20) reports:

“Towards midnight the life of another. woman was attempted close to Castle alley. A woman and men were seen to approach dark portion of the thoroughfare, near the old

ate, east statlon. The pair did not remain ong on the corner before the woman was heard to cry, ‘No, I won't.’ The remark was addressed to a dark man of medium height, with a slouch hat and of foreign appearance. The man seized her, dragged her a short dis-

taneg @ her upon the curbstone and pro- ducet 5 Meer, # ?

*Screains of ‘Jack the Ripper’ and of ‘mur- der’ attracted crowds of men and women from all directions. Among the first arrivals at the scene were several members of the local vigilance association, which has resumed work. Before the man had time to get far he was seized, and a dreadful struggle ensued. He had a long knife in his hand, and it was some time before he could be deprived of it. Eventually it was taken from him. Even then his fight for liberty was of a most de- termined nature. In the midst of the fray the woman crawled away. Police whistles were heard in all directions. A great number of officials, both of the city and metropolitan force, appeared on the scene. When the — reached the spot the man was cut and

leeding protusely from wounds inflicted by the crowd, who had raised the cry of *Lynch him ! and were throwing al! kinds of missiles at the prisoner. Under a strong escort ot police he was got to the police station, where he was charged. In reply he said ‘the woman robbed me.” When asked why he drew the dagger, he replied that he had done so in self- defence. He said he was a sailor, and gave a Scotch name, adding that he had arrived from South Shields a week ago. When asked where he was on the morning of July 17, he could not say. He did not know where he had stayed while in London. A small knife was found in his possession, together with his seaman’s discharge papers.

“It is not at all likoly that the man. ar- rested is the genuine Jack the Ripper. This man seeme to be simply a common murderer, or a reckless sailor filled with liquor. His

method was uot that of the scientific Jack, os

and none of the circumstances of the case in- dicate that this attempted murder had any connection whatever with the Jack the Ripper series.”

A. L. Mohler, assistant general manager of the Manitoba railway, has just completed a thorough examination of the wheat crop along the lines of the Manitoba system.

He predicts that the country tributary to the Manitoba lines will furnish for ship-
