successors. At that time the feudal pay-

ments constituted half the entire revenue of the couniry. But now comes the great precedent of confiscation! The

Convention Parliament of Charles IL by a majority of two (151 to 149) passed un Act repudiating all their obligations to the crown, but were cauny enough to retain similar obligations from the sub-tepants to the landlords. ‘Their impudem preteuce, was that to do away with them would be very§ “ prejudicial to the Lords of the Manors.”’

the most fearned of English prelaies using language on this subject that must

have startled many of his hearers.

Bishop Lightfoot shows that he has none |

of the fear and hatred ot science dis- played by so many of his brethren. Speaking at the Church Congress, he called the teachings of science ‘ truths. which Christians, if they are wise, will endeavor to understand and absorb.” He went further and remarked that ‘ They are manifestatious of the Eternal Truth. which will add breadth and strength to eur theology.” Nor was he shocked at the theory of development, remarking that * if the time should come when evo- lution is translated from the region of suggestive theory to the region of ac- knowledged fact, what then? Will it not carry still further the idea of provi- dential design and order? Will it not

reinforce with spleadid illustrations the |

magnificent lessous of modern science — complexity of results, traced back to simplicity of principles, variety of pheuo- mena issuing from unity of order, the gathering up, as it were, of the threads which connect the universe in the Right Hand of the One Eternal Truth.”

—Science is an exacting mistress, drawing heavily upon both our credulity aud upon opr imagination. For instance, she tells us of a certain star—Sirius by name—that it is a hundred millions of million€ ef miles from us. This star is the brightest of all stars, and though it is as big as sixty of our suzs, its light when it reaches us is a two-hundred- thousand-millionth part as bright as the san. When we catch a glimpse of Sirius, the flash of light visible started on its journey before most of us first drew breath; nor did it loiter on the way, its velocity being at the rate of one hundred and eighty six thousand miles a second.

—The sky is forall. It is the great art gallery of the people, where one can behold scene after seene, picture upon picture. Fitful, capricious, gentle, awful, always changing, ever new. How we all love the beautiful blue sky! The ball of fire, rising above the horizon, chasing the leagues of leaden darkness before it, and dying all the sky in a flood of golden light, lightens the mist and transforms it into that ever varying blue. Yet it is strange to relate that the older books of the Old Testament, with all their glowing poetical descriptions, are silent about the blue sky. Nor is this peculiarity cenfined to the Book of Books alone; The Rig-Veda, cne of the four sacred books of the Hindus, consist- ing entirely of hymns of heaven, has no mention of the blue sky. It wanting in the

CLIMATE AND COUNTRY.

The season is reported to have been an unusually dry one, although there was con- siderable rain further up in the plains. There were but three showers of rain during whole iime they were at work, and these light summer enes. On one occasion there was a severe hail storm, but it was purely local. The principal rivers in the region embraced in the survey are the Bow, Belly, Old man, Keotani, and St. Mary's, all independent streams tributary to, and the sources whence the South Saskatchewan derives its waters from the Recky Moun- tains.

In winter the Chinook winds—warm, south- western breezes—blow across the Rocl.ies, blowing off the snow and imparting a warmth and moisture to the rich pasturage, thus permitting herds to graze upon it throughout the entire winter.

The wooded tracts are principally upon the foot hills of the Rockies. Game is searce now in the country, owing to the wanton ravages of the Blood and Piegan | Indians, who bunt everything relentlessly | down. A few antelope and an occassional herd of buffalo are observed betimes more easterly on the plains on the Red Deer | River, the principal tributary of the South | Saskatchewan, Buffalo came in this year |from the Yellowstone country across the line in large numbers, passed through the Cypruss Hills country, and deployed around by the Red Deer River, passing out again to the east of Fort McLeod.

ABUNDANCE OF GAM¥F.

On the return trip the party enjoyed a buffalo hunt thirty miles from Fort Walsh. They also shot seven antelope, and the duék. geese, and sandhill cranes are re- ported as rising in clouds eut of the lakes and streams. Mr. Aldous says that he hever saw game so plentiful on the plains before. Atl the Indians at Fort Walsh are out afer buffalo, and it is fully expected that they will be able to provide for them- selves this winter without any Government aid. The party experienced the first snow of the season at Moose Jaw Creek, a tribut- ary of the Qu’Appeile, about fifty miles east of Old Wives’ Lake, and as a result there was good sleighing all the way to Brandon.

CORRESPONDENCE, We ‘lo fet hold ourselves responsible for the

To the Kditor of the Kxamsner.

Sirn,—I was appointed a vendor under the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act. Immediately after my appointment | gave instructions to my empleyes to observe the law strictly, and to give liquor to no person whatsoever without a certificate from a medical man. So rigidly was this rule observed that many of my best cus tomeis (ook offence, but I determined to keep within the spirit and the letter of the law.

On the 24th Oct., William Flynn came to my store with the following prescrip- tion :

‘* R. Spts. Premwenth, qt.—In Medicinal use only-—-Mr. William Flyna, ,

D. MacKar, M. D.”

The words, ‘‘ Mr. William Flynn” were not on the prescription when presented, but my clerk, Mr. Hunter, inguired the name and then wrote it on the prescription in order to comply with the requirements of the Act, and to enable me to keep the necessary record. The magistrate decided that as the name of the party for whom the medine was intended was not written by the doctor, 1 had no right to give the liquor and was therefore liable toa fine ; |

doctrine that I was bound to see that the liquor actually went into the poszession of the person for whose use it was prescribed.

On the 25th Océ. the same Flynn bronght to my store a prescription from Dr. McRae, as follows:

“R. Spts. Frementh 14 pts, for Mr. John Hogan—For medicinal use; repeated twice per

week, **D, MacRag, M. D.”

The objection to this was that the name of the agent was net. mentioned in the pres- I contended that vhe very fact | of the agent having the prescription in his | possession, and presenting it to my clerk

| cription.

| was ppuna facie evidence that he was the | properly authorized agent of the person for whom the liquor was prescribed. The Act requires nothing more, and common sense would tell any man that my contention is correct.

The same objection was made to a simi- lar prescription made by Dr. MacRae for Mr. Welsh and presented by Flynn.

The magistrate gave it as his opinion that the onvs lies on the vendor to prove that the person getting liquor is-really the agent of the person mertioued in the prescription. I contended that any man presenting a doctor's prescription is the agent of the person named therein. If not, how did he | come into possession of the certificate? If _a doctor acts dishonestly, surely I should

/not be held responsible.

| Another objection raised was that Dr. ‘MacRae is not a properly qualified prac- | titioner, and holds no diploma from any ‘medical college. Of this, of course, I have no personal knowledgs ; but Dr. MacRae advertises in the public press; his sign appears in front of the office held by him in the rooms over the ‘‘Apothecaries Hali”’; his preseriptions have been filled id every Brug Store in the city, and he is generally regarded as a medical man. Was it my place to ask for an inspection of his diploma before filling his prescription? I have been

thousands of prescriptions, but I have never yet seen the diploma of a medical man in this city, nor was it my duty to | inquire.

| may say that thongh the fine has been inflicted on me, I have the consciotisness of knowing that I never intended to violate | the law or to act in any way contrary to (ita spirit and letter. I regard the judg- ment as unjust and illegal, but the Act gives no power of appealing, and I have te submit.

U think [ ean safely affirm that during a residence of thirty-e‘'ght years in Char- loitetown I have strictly confirmed with the laws of the land, asa private citizen, and in whatever public position I may have been placed. For thirty-six years I have been a licensed dealer in spirituous liquors,

against me. You can scarecly wonder, then, that I feel indignant at being the victim of an ever-strained judgment which I regard as unjust and illegal, but from which I have no power to appeal. Yours truly, Wm. R. Warson. Nev. 2, 1881.

Catapults.

To the Editor of the Patriot.

Sir,—Second only to the nuisance of murderous dogs is the nuisance of mis- chievous boys; and perhaps the worst in- intrument of mischief ever invented ter such is the catapult. A curious boy armed with one of these innocent looking instruments is a dangerous character. From the com- bined efforts of the boy and the machine, windows are unsafe, and one’s éyes run the risk of being permanently injured. Of late the combination is getting very com- {mon on our streets. It is suggested that any youth seen wielding a catapult should be reported to the police, and made to fer- feit both it and the shet; should have his pockets sewed up and his clothes made without any unti: he can be trusted to use them in the interests of the community. Sterner measures may be necessary, but there are good grounds for believing that the th: eat of this deprivation will have the desired effect.

Dear Sin,—By an error of transcrip- tion the Inspector of Fishcries was made to say at arecent meeting of the Lobster Packers, ‘‘he had reason to say the Goy- ernment will enforce the unanimous views of this meeting ;”--what he did say was : ‘““IT am not authorized to speak officially, but I have reason to say that the P. Ek. Island delegation would urge on the Gov- ernment any Unanimous expression of the views of this meeting.” Yours truly, A. J. McIwnis, Secretary.
