Fumigation
SoMETIME azo, Tar Examiner called the attention of our Postal officers to the advisability of fumigating letters from Montreal. Late advices from that city state that smallpox is still very bad there ; and if so, the expediency of acting on our suggestion remains the same. The fumigating process would necessarily occasion a little trouble and a little de- lay. But an ounce of prevention .is worth a pound of cure.

Free Trade Strikes.
Tue latest intelligence from Great Britain is that the twenty-five thousand spinners who struck at Oldham nearly two months ago are about to succumb to the terms of the millowners. It is said that during “the strike these operatives have sold the greater part of their house hold goods 2nd are now onthe point of starvation. If they had submitted to the cut-down then they would have been better off, but, following bad advisers, they struck. and now must finally sub mit. <A strike involving 10,000 oper- atives in the jute mills of Dundee, Scot-
land, is announced to have ended in acceding to the demands of the employers. The cause was a reduction
of wages, which were already almost below the living point—wages which average 50 per ceut, below those in New England being reduced 10 per cent. ad- ditional in order that production may be reduced so that their surplus goods may be sold in our markets. The Boston Journal remarks on these facts: ‘* Our free trade champions are silent about these troubles and these forced reduc- tidns of wages, and continue to tell us that if we had free trade wages would be just as high in this country.’
+
The Riel Case.
UNLEss a respite be obtained the ex ecution of Mr.” Riel will take place on Fri- day next. But Tae Examiner’s Ottawa advices state that there will probably be avn appeal to the Privy Council and a months delay in carrying out the sen tence of the Court. To this course, no objection can be takev. ‘The friends of the doomed man have the right (o test to the utmost the powers of the Court by which he was tried; and it is but right that they be afforded an oppor- tunity to do so. As the Montreal Gazette says :—*‘ To hang Riel and then discover that the court which tried aud sentenced him was not legaily clothed with jurisdiction, would be more than awkward.’
It is not likely that,in the meantime, a strong feeling in favor of Riel will—-as is no doubt hoped—be developed. The men has erred too greatly to obtain the sympathy ot any number of reasonable and law-abiding citizens; even his French Canadian friends of the better class feel that he deserves no special interposition of the clemency of the Crown. It is signifi cant that Judge Dubuc, of the Supreme Court of Manitoba, pleaded his friend- ship for Riel as a reason why he should not give judgment in Riel’s case. But bad he been called upon to do so, he says, ‘“‘I would have dove my duty re- gardless of the bitterness the position would have occasioned me, as judge of my brother, or of him whom I had loved as one.” And at the conclusion of an interview on the subject Judge Dubuc said, “jl may say just here, most em phatically, that whatever justice may have existed in the grievances of the half-hreeds, | do not sympathize with, and I cannot but deplore the ‘act of taking up arms against the Government. The constitution is broad, and surely grievances could have been redressed without fighting.”
This is, we believe, the sentiment of the French-Canadian people ; and though some of them may deplore the fact that the crime of Riel is punishable with death, they are not likely to blame the Government overinuch if the law of the land is allowed free course in his case. That the law sheuld be evaded, simply because a criminal belongs to this race or that religion, and that the sentences of our courts may be interfered with from motives of political expediency, is ridicu-
lous, and not to be tolerated for a moment. —The Montreal (azette says: The
Public Accounts of Canada to date in- dicate « deficit for the current fiscal year, and unless a turn in the state of trade | occurs it cannot well be averted. As compared with a year ago the revenue for July and August fell off $800,000 while the expenditure increased nearly $,1,000,000, making a difference of some two million dollars on the trans- actions of July and August. The expen- diture has been largely swelled by pay- ments on account of the Northwest ex- pedition, and may contiuue for a month or two to occur ou a gradually modifying scale.” ———— DS << one
— At a banquet given io his honor by the St. James Club, Montreal, the Hon. Thomas White said :—‘“ My own convic- tion is—I don’t mean to say by any meaus that [ have always been able to act upon it, but I thiok if public men could carry it out it would be a great blessing —that on the public platform and in Parliament no man should ever say in any public controversy that which he would be atraid or ashamed to say, as a|
on of his opponent in private | ife. .

A, TT -——We record to-day the departure of Mr, James Stanley,—one of our quiet, unassuming, Christian fellow-citizens — universally respected and _ endeared to all who had the pleasure of his personal acquaintance by the kindness of his heart aad the unfaltering integrity of his life. His was an almost instantane- translation from weariness and suflering, to the rest of the blessed where the day breaks and the shadows flee away forever. “Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of the saints.” We extend to Mrs Stanley and family, our tenderest sympathy iu the hour of their bereavemeat.

The Chignecto Ship Railway
OUS
The Chignecto ship railway, which is about to be built by an English company across the seven miles wide peninsula of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy, will be the first railway of its kind in the world, and will be built on plans similar to those of Captain James B. Kads for the Tehauntepec road. The saving in distance to vessels engaged in the trade to be benefited by the work is estimated as follows :—
Gaspe to St. John, N. B............ 429 miles Gaape to Boston, . 2.5 oobi. ees cc cals 200 miles Eescaminasc to St. John... ... 06.0 483 miies Charlottetown to St. John.......... 400 miles Charlottetown to Boston... ........220 miles
Dine 00 Gs i vk ok vad ieee ves 340 miles Pe is ci Sik i si 170 miles
it is apparent that so important a saving in distance, and also in danger, for the Cape Breton and Nova Scotia coasts are strewn with wrecks, will justify the con- struction of the road even for the present volume of éraflic. If the road proves to be a good one, and is capable of safely and quickly transportiug the largest ocean steamers, it is not improbable that the Can- adian Pacific will make St, John’s its Atlantic port, reaching there via the Short Line and the New Brunswick railway. This will require very little construction and no very expensive purchases. It is estimated by Mr. Corthell, who is associ ated with Captain Eads, that the cost of operating the Tehuantepec railway will not exceed one tenth of a cent per ton ver mile. At this rate, or even a much higher one, on the Nova Scotia road, a profitable business can be done at a charge of 25 cents a ton for the transfer. The company, which is under the presidency of Lord Bra- bourne, has secured Mr. Fowler, an engineer of good repute in England, to superintend tha work of construction, and has made a contract with a London syndi- cate to supply the necessary funds, and a year may see the line in a position to begin business. Several gentlemen interested ip the Tehuantepec scheme are to watch the progress of construction in the hope of get- ting hints that may serve them in good stead if ever the larger work gets beyond the paper stage of existence. = te
The British Harvest for 1885.
The mean of the estimates of the crops for 1885 in the British Islands, as calcu- lated by the London Lconomist, gives a harvest about on a par with that of 1884. The yield of the Irish harvests is still in some wneertainty, but as respects the others it appears that the wheat crop is not so good as that of last year, barley and oats are about the same, the vegetable crops are not so good, hay is better and potatoes less prolific.
These estimates are not official, but the probably foreshadow the actual results with much correctness. As however, they were made before the 27th August, and since that date no severe and general storms have swept over the British Islands to interfere with the work of securing the harvests, it is probable that the actual yield of the crops will be rather better than it was then expected to be.
i
Prices for Wheat.
‘hough the entire crop of wheat for the year 1885 is estimated at but $357,000,000 bushels, a smaller aggregate than in any previous year since 1876, it should be re- membered that we had an enormous wheat crop last year, leaving a considerable sur- plus above the amount required for con- sumption. Also that a large advance in prices has already occurred. Wheatis now ninety-nine cents per bushel, against sixty- nine cents in December, an advance of forty per cent, above the lowest point. To-day’s price of wheat is nearly up to the average for the past ten years, which is something that can be said of very few other classes of merchandize at the present time.
Literary.
‘Heads and Faces, How to Study Them,” is the title of a work now in. press by the Fowler & Wells Co., 753 Broadway, New York. All claim to know something of How to Read Character, but very few understand all the Signs of Character as in the Head and Face. This work is to be a manual for the people, containing 200 large octavo pages and nearly 200 illus- trations, and sold for only 40 cents. This will be ready in a few days, and the same house have in press for early publication severgl other works more or lesa in their special lines.

Hunery—anp Megan.—An invited gent who attended a picnicat Stilesville, N. B., received a note from a resident of Stiles- ville as follows :
‘Lam sorry to have to inform youn that you never paid me for those potatoes. | dug a peck and a half of those potatoes, washed and boiled them and drawed water out of a deep well. I worked all the even- ing for you over a hot stove; my bill is one dollar. Settle now and have no more trouble.’
The Moncton Times says the gentleman who received this note is innocent of any such extravagance. He thinks it is ashame the committee do not settle their picnic bills—especially for the potatoes they con- sumed.

The Puritan and Genesta.
PARTICULARS OF THE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT OF FRIDAY.
At 9 o'clock, when the judges’ boat ar- rived at Tompkinsville, the Genesta also was underway, heading for the narrows under her jib. Her white-jacketed crew were soon aloft, and the cutter’s mainsa‘) was hoisted in a few minutes. The easterly winds which prevailed Thursdey left a heavy ground swell, which rolled in over the bar and the west bank, making itself felt, as the yachts under sail made their way through the channel to Scotland light- ship. The Genesta’s new bowsprit was ad- mired by the yachtsmen, while the Puri- tan’s maivsail, which had been extensively patched, showed no difference in its setting. By 10.30 o’clock several steamers and over a score of yachts assembled near the start. The wind was blowing a fresh breeze from the eastward. The tide was about one quarter ebb when the preparation signal was given at 11.40, followed by one to start at 11.35, the judges’ boat lay with her head to the northward, one-eighth of a mile from Scotland lightship, and the course was E. by N., 20 miles to leeward or windward and return. The Puritan lay bare when the signal was given, while the Cenesta lay near the imaginary line ready to ship over in a moment, By excellent management, Captain Crocker sent the Puritan across the line first in handsome shape, 4 minutes after the whistle was blown, the Geneste following six seconds later, and leeward about 200 yards, The sea was quite heavy during the first hour of the race, and the Genesta showed her good weatherly qualities to advantage by running away from the white sloop. Her first tack was made at 12.41, when she was apparently half a mile ahead of the Puritan, and heading N. E. by E. for Rockaway Beach. She only crossed the Puritan’s bow by about 30 lengths, and went immediately about at 12.44. The Puritan kept on the starboard tack until 11.16, when she came about with the Geneste E., then under her lee. The wind was falling light. Soon after she began to steadily increase hor lead on the Genesta, and when, at 11.18, she set her sprit topsail, the Genesta set ber club topsaily The Boston boat had now a good lead. After a long stretch to the starboard the Puritan tacked again at 3.10, the Genesta following five minutes later. The boats both carried the same sail, main- sail, club topsail, foretopsail and jib. Now the Genesta took in _ her forestay- sail and set the smaller one while on the tack. The Puritaa made a short stretch on the port tack, at 3 10 giving about again at 420. At this time the stake boat, 3 miles to windward, was just visible, but the wind being light, although the swell was still quite heavy. There was but little chance for the yachts to finish, The Genesta set her big club topsail at 4 40, and went about to to port. The Puritan had been slowly but surely ‘eating’ her way to windward of her antag- onist, and was now a good mile ahead of her. At 5 15 both went about again, while over a hundred craft, all patiently waited the coming of the racers at Outer- bank. The Puritan tacked for it at 6 23, when the Genesta was yet nearly two miles to seeward with not wind enough to fill her sails. The Boston boat reunded the mark at 5 39, while a chorus of Italian whistles from a flotilla of steamers greeted her. A moment later her spinnaker was broken out to port, making a beautiful pic- ture as she slipped away over the now al- most glassy surface of the undulating swell towards the brilliant sky in the west. The committee, finding it impossible to sail the race in seven hours, took the Genesta in tow while the tug Scandinavian was sent to bring the Puritan into the Horseshoe,
