OUR NEWQIUDGE.

lntllnation- was received ilrtlle Guardian from Ottawa yesterday that the Hon. A. E. Arsenault has been appointed Judge of the Su- preme Court in succession to the late Mr. Justice Fitzgerald. The appolntment._w'c feel sure. will be

as popular as it is well nlcrited. i

-Mr. Arsenwult has had a dis- tinguished career and has earned the respect and regard of all class- es 0i lleople on all sides oi politics. in the Legislature his stpceclloll were always remarkable for fair- ness and judicial soundness. His training and practice in law both in London. England. and hcre has been such as to justify the assump- tion that llis "judgments will be in law. and in accordance with precedent.’

We heartily congratulate ‘Mr. Justice Arsenault on his appoint- ment. and we‘ feel assured that we

free from bias, correct

voice the universal opinion when we say his selection has been well

All interesting episode occurred at Fredericton, N.oB., during the progress of iihe York-Sun-bilry elec- tion, when Mr. R. C. Headers. M.

A petition to the Governor in Council in 1810 from twenty-seven oi the inhabitants show that Char- lottetown. during the nrsl. forty years of her‘ history, had .not Inade very much headway ln street im- Thes petitioners "humbly request‘ to e allowed to have the Statute ‘Labor for this year applied to the clearing and Widening of Weymouth Streeli from the banks of the Hillsboro‘ River to the St. Peter's Road.‘ which will thereby effect a free passage for teams. etc.. cooling to and going from town." Up to tilts’ time the lots fronting on We)" mouth Street had not been lmprov-l ed and no buildings had been erected inthat sect-ion of the town. The first School House erected in Charlottetown called the “Nation- al School" was built on the west- ern corner of ithe College Square in 1820 and -Mr. Jabez Barnard» bllllt a dwelling house on the op- nnslto corner about the same time. This house. which remained on tho corner of Weymouth and Kent Streets for 100 years. was replaced by a new dwelling during the past sulninrer.

Til-e following extract from a “Journal of two apostolic voyages in the Gilli of St. Lawrence in 181i and 1812 by Monsigneur Joseph Octave Plessls. Bishop ofvQuebec" will give a very good description

how Charlottetown appeared lo an intelligent stranger who paid a flying visit to our shores more than_a century ago.

Tit-ls interesting story of the vis- l-l of Bishop Plcssie t’) Prince Ell- ward Island was translated from the French by the late Judge Alley.

“it was on Tuesday morning. July 14th, 1812. that we niled lli. Charlottetown, where the Bishop knowing that he was expected by the ‘Lieutenant Governor and desir- ed by General Fanning. decided to appear in clerical dress. foresee- lngthut iic and his (rompllni-tm would be respected. and that if the Protestant portion of ille citi- zens wcre astonished at the sight of this extraordinary costume, he would be for them morely an object of curiosity without provoking any kind of insolence. The result prov- ed him lo have been right in these conjectures.

Of the, three towns projected in St. Jolln'a island. two are still in grass-mamely Prlncetown gr Mal~ psquc Bay and Georgetown on that. of Three Rivers. The latter. however, is on a very advantage- - ous site and it is to he hop-ed that it will, ‘uccom-e populous. as soon as merchants. innkeepers and mechanics come to establish them- selves hcre. in the meantime Char- lotteto\vn takes the lead. its el- evated situation. hnc pHlSDSCl, the breath of its streets. of wilicll ill‘? widest are 100 feet lbroad. and the‘

old-time party lines. it is in ob- servance of this that they lire be- coming so ilespcratc, and are leav- ing no stone unturned that if per- chancc by hook or by crook they can score some kind of a victory in thc East, to reucw the confl-

dcnce 0i‘ their dissolving forces in the other ‘parts of Cllilzlda. When

Premier Melghen told them to “throw oil the mask“ and ailpcnr to the people in their natural colors. as (fO-itiljlllill‘! to the Liiicr- alism of their former conncclioil. he pursued illc proper coilrsc. it is inevltaiblc that oltlier tllcy must swallow up the Liberal rein- nant. or else the Grit remnant must. swalow them, and the sooner this takes placefand tlic unholy combinations appear clearly in their proper light. the better it will be. if not for them, then at least for tho country.

FRIENDSHIRNOT FATMLIARITV

Many of us ‘have yot to learn thou-friendship does not consist in familiarity. One cannot make a friend of a woman £by entering her home. exchanging recipes vfor shortcake. comparing ‘notes on ne-w dresses. or talking over the latest ndvél

‘Let us not intrude upon the slic- red precincts of our friend. her home-and ‘by this we do not mean to avoid her home entirely. but to exercise o due regard for her dom- estic privacy.

if my friend need me, ohe will come to me, or send for lme; she will show me her inmost soul. and we shall communicate heart to heart.

c We shall talk ofsomethlng high- er tIan the weather. our thought will be of the spiritual. and we shall live for s time in the clouds.

Why should we talk of the com- mon things of earth‘!

We can discuss -with others the fashions. the news. or the Inst new piece at the theatre.

They are not friends. they are only acquaintances.

We value. respect, and, admire them; often they are our superiors but. for all that. they are not our friends in true ‘sense.

This vetera . 85 years of ago. but active enough to pass the 60. was occupied in reviewing the town militia. consisting of "300 men. ‘when the Bshop landed.

The Bishop was welcomed by Commissionary General Holland ‘and asked at once to be permitted ‘to pay his respects to the Govern- or who gnve his his cnoice. either to come and see him at once on parade or to wait until the next day. when he would receive him ‘at Government l-louse. The Bishop preferred villi} latter plan and with- drew in tho meantime to u decent inn kept by a Methodist family of lhc flillill‘ of Bagnlill. There hc re- ceived tlic visit of General Flinn ing, formerly Governor of tho place. of iCliief Justice ‘Colclough and oi the principle personages of the town. Tile Chief Justice on the following day ‘invited the Bishop to celebrate Mass in the Court House that he hull cleaned out expressive- ly as the workmen were still in it. it was lllcre that the Catholics of the town, and vicinity met on Thursday. The Bishop ogre-ed all the more willingly, that on tho previous (iuy he had been obliged to celebrate the Holy Mysteries in a lCatholic Tavern in the absence of o more cenvenienii place. 1n a little exhortatlon that ne addres- sed the people in very ba-zi English. he did not forget to insist on the necessity of their thinking soon oi’ the construction of a chapel . for which he gave a titular lSaint— Saint Dunston oi (lantebilry, and he expressed a hope that by the care and activity of Mr. McEach- ern. this edifice would be bililt» in the course of the next spring on a piece of land offered for the pur- pose by Mrs. Callheczc. a Protes- tant Widow. whonl he visited in order to encourage her in her praiseworthy intention. Chapels are everywhere necessary. bu: especially in this place in which Catholics mixing with other sects are exposed to go sometimes to one iCllurch. sometimes to another. always with more or less danger to their Faith. ’

The Bishop and his companions having (‘one their utmost. for the Catholics of Charlottetown, . and responded on Wednesday to an in- vltatlon from the ‘Lieutenant Gov- ernor and on Thursday to one from General Fanning, excused himself to the iClilef Jusliice who wished to keeq hiln for tho follow- ing day and carried out hisdnten- tion of embarking that slime evening to continue his work for God.
