Death of the Prince imperial.

Papers received on Saturday night con- tained further details of the killing of the Prince Imperial of France. The official account says that ‘‘the Prince, Lieut. Carey, six men and one friendly Zulu had dis- mounted ten miles from camp, Just as the Prince gave orders to remount, a volley was fired from ambush in the long grass. The lieut. and four troopers returned to camp and reported that the Prince and two troopers ware missing. A party of Lancers with ambulance started on the 2nd inst. to recover the body of the Prince, which was feund and brought in. When found there were eighteen assegai stabs in it, two piercing the body from chest to back, two inside, and one destroying the right eye. A locket with hair medallions and reliquary, was found around the neck. _ The face wore a placid expression. He had evident- ly ineffectually tried to meunt, and the leather of the flags tearing he ran along the path to where he was found. Two troop- ers lay dear the bedy, both having been assegaied.”

Another account says: ‘‘ He was found stripped and the clothes had been taken away.”

The sad news was conveyed to Euyenie by Lord Sydney; and it is reported that she heard it ‘‘ with an agonizing cry, and sank into a senseless stupor. She still re- mains in an insensible cendition.”

The Prince Imperial was born on the 16th March, 1856. He was a delicate child ; but as grew up to manhood his health im- proved, and he became stronger. In 1870 he received his ‘‘baptisin of fire’ at Saar- bruck, where he displayed ‘‘admirable cool- ness. After the defeat of the Emperer at Sedan, the Prince hurried to Belgium and thence to England to join his mother. Since then he has been carefully studying the military science. Recently he volun- teered to go to Zulu, where he met the sad fate which we chronicle. The Prince was personally pepular ; and had he lived he might, perhaps, after another revolution, have found himself Emperor of the French “As it is, the hopes of the Bonapartists are not high. Neither of the remaining heirs of the Napeleonic dynasty are likely to raise to the dignity of a leader of men. Prince Napeleon, a younger son of Jerome Bonaparte, has, however, been designated by his Party successor to the Prince Im- perial.

“The Little Bird.”

Tne Children’s Department of the Patriot of ‘Thursday last contained a simple story, which originates with a ‘‘ little bird.”” The writer does not inform his infantile readers whether the bird belong to the domestic species, of which the barn-door fowl is the most nu- merous family, or to the nocturnal species which finds its chief representative in the owl. It is just possible neither of these birds stored the mind of the story-teller, but he may be indebted to that combination of beast and bird—the bat—which finds dark caverns and mouldy ruins a congenial hiding place, and where vermin, its food, is found in abundance. The simple but beautiful expression, ‘‘A little bird informed us,” gives evidence that the

knowledge as is contained in that highly in- teresting and instructive work, ‘‘Jack the Yiant Killer.” No doubt the nationa! ballad wy which is kept alivea spirit ofheroism and af- fection for his ancestorsis the simple but touch- ing song, ‘Ten little Inguns swinging on a

te.” If we were asked to judge from the style of the writer of the narrative what would likely be his last request at the close of the day as the sun sinks to rest? we would repiy, “* Put mein my little bed,’ and his devotional exercises would consist nightly in the repetition of “‘No. t lay me down to sleep.” Severe criticisin would be entirely out of place with regard to people who are, at worst, objects of compassion; brit, then, it cannot be considered cruel if we say that the simple jog-trot of the language in the story in the Patriot gives signs of early imbe-

cility ‘on the part of the writer. The columns of the Patriot have been scanned and its ideas reproduced with

about as much intelligence as is attached toa machine. There is an occasional cold- blooded attempt to be witty; but the infantile writer has discerned before this that these at tempts to be witty, of malice prepense, are

We know the torture children at school sometimes endure when their lessons are not committed to memory, by being com- pelled to learn so many lines; and we would suggest to teachers that the reading of the dialogue of the Patriot be introduced as a new means to punish negligent children.

| How they ‘‘ Cooked” the Accounts. | | ONE INSTANCE,

' it will be noticed that the sum of S900 has | been placed in the estimates as a subsidy to a i steamer to rmn between Summerside and DBe- leque. Four hundred and fifty doilars of this j is arrears due the owner of the Jennie B., for last year’s service. The late Government, 1t |appears, spent the whole of last year’s receipts ; in paying for register grates, marble mantles, te., in order to put money into the pockets of their friends, and left just debts unpaid. This system savors strongly of Stewart's phil-

»s0phyv.— Progress,

Our readers will, perhaps, be surprised to learn that there is not one wort! of truth in he above paragraph. Mr. McFarlane, him- self, has assured us that he received every ent due him on account of the Summerside

md Bedeque Ferry service, rendered by him with the steamer Jennie bis last year, and that he received it last fall, and promptly, immediately after the service was rendered, und the amount due. Of the $900 voted this year as & subsily for a steamer to run between Summerside and Bedeque, not one cent is for the service of the /ennie B., in that hne, last year, because every cent she earned in that service last year was paid in due time. Yet the Progress coolly tells its readers that 5450 was thus due !—Journal.

}

NoW, WHICH IS RIGHT! The following is a copy of the letter sent to Mr. McFarlane, by the Secretary of : Public Works, when the subsidy was paid : CHARLOTTETOWN, Jan. 4, 779. Neil McFarlane, Esq., Summerside. Sir,—Enclosed you will find check No, 48 for $450.00, being amount due you for the service of the steamer ‘‘Jennie B.,” between Summerside and Hurd’s Point to 17th Dee. last. ° I am, Sir, yours ig (Signed) -Joun W, MORRISON, Decretary. It will be seen that Mr. McFarlane did not receive payment until the 4th of Jan., some days after the accounts ef the year 1878 were closed; and, therefore, the amount was not charged in the expenditure for 1878. It may be that Mr. McFarlane was one of these many friends of the late Government who received written instruc- tions not to ‘‘draw” until “after the end of the year”—in other words, to ‘ dash-

bill in till the amount will have to be charged in next years accounts—so that the Tories shall get the diseredit of our ex- travaganée.”

Mr. Lathern’s Valodictory. YesTeRDAY morning the congregation of the Prince street Methodist Church listened to a very able sermen, delivered by the Rev. Howard Sprague. His text was, ‘‘ This is your seasonable service.” It was dealt with in a masterly manner. In the evening an immense congregation assembled to hear the farewell sermon of the Rev. Mr. Lathern, an announcement of which appeared in our columns last week. The Rev. Mr. Lathern has been remarkably successful in obtaining the esteem of all denominations of this city, and will carry with him their good wishes for his success in ministerial labors in the future. Mr. Lathern has been deservedly popular as a preacher, but will chiefly be rembered by this community for his eloquent lectures. Elis departure will be greatly regretted by

those who have been indebted to him for the kindly feeling, Christian sympathy and generosity shown in

his pastoral visit. At the close of the ser- men last night, the Rev. gentlemen alluded to ‘his ministerial connection with the Methodist congregation of this city, in an modest, yet manly way, which must have touched tue hearts of these present, and caused a feeling of regret that his depar- ture isso soon to take place. The choir sang at the clese of his discourse, the an- them, ‘‘ We wil! rejoice.” We were not so uncharitable as to suppose that these words expressed their feelings; but attributed the selection of the anthem to a failing com- mon to choirs, and that is an inability to discern ‘‘ the fitness of things.”’ It is hard- ly necessary to say that tl. congre- gation did not join the choir in singing the anthem; but was evidently disappointed that some simple yet more appropriate hymn was not sung that required less gusto.

The First Nihilists.

The first Nihilist societies were formed by Russian students about the year 1859 and the doctrines they adopted were chie fly derived from a book which is not generally supposed to have any Nihilist tendencies, Ruchner’s ‘‘ Force and Matter.” The cir- culationsof this work in Russia was forbid-

ly intreduced into the country, and read

with another German work, by Max Stir- ner, called ‘‘ Property and the Individual,” which has also fallen under the ban of the Russian censors. Out of these two books, the former of which preached materialism and the latter socialism, the Russian evolved the doctrine of nihilism, which they also professed to find in other popular | works, notably Buckle’s *‘ History of Civil- ization.’ The new Nihilist societies were formed among the students of the agricul- tural college of Petrovsk, near Moscow.
