Notes and Clippings.

Capt. Harston gave an exhibition on Rideau ranges a few days ago, of his im- proved Martini rifle. Gen. Sir Fred, Mid- dleton and Col. Kirkpatrick, M. P., were present and were delighted with the arm. The captain has, by a simple attachment weighing about eight ounces, turned the ordinary Martini rifle into one of the most rapid “magazine guns yet invented. General Middleton, who does not claim to be an expert by any means, succeeded in firing six shots from this arm in six seconds.

The Empire reports that Professor Saunders has ordered, and expects to re- ceive soon, a few bushels of the best Saale barley which he can get. This is the de- scription of German barley which commands fancy prices in English markets, and is of the Chevalier variety, standard weight, 56 lbs. per bushel. Mr. Saunders is now ac- tively engaged in distributing samp'e bags, 3 lbs. each, of the varities he has now on hand to several hundred different points In the Dominion, from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia. The Saale barley will also be distributed when received.

—The New York Herald's Washington despatel say: ‘‘The approach of the fishing season in the North Atlantic is attracting attention to the probable policy of our Government as it is to be shaped by Presi- dent Harrison and Secretary Blaine. The Maine Senators and representatives have had several conferences with Mr. Blaine, and they are looking for an aggressive poli- cy. Senator Frye says he favors no re- newed attempt at negotiation, but simply a dignitied insistence on our rights. The li- censes issued by the Canadian authorities under the modus vivendi agreed upon by the negotiators a year ago are not sat isfac- tory, because they compel payment as if for a privilege for what belongs to us by right. A firm attitude on the part of our Government, Senator Frye believes, will bring Canadians to time.” The Senator will probably find that firmness will be met by tirmness.

—‘*Onlooker” in the Moncton Times writes: ‘Prince Edward Island is the political curiosity of the Dominion. Strong- ly Conservative, if local elections means anything, it has not one representative at Ot awa in support of the Government. As acorrespondent once said in Tus Ex- AmMINER, the people ** like all Islanders, are fiercely independent,” but in _ political alfairs, they take as curious notions, as were ever expressed by ‘‘Steeple Cleydon.” In the Sullivan-Ferguson local govern- ment, they have the best the Island has enjoyed since confederation, and to do them justice, they have sense enough to see it. This government is in sympathy with the Dominion Government, and when anything of value is really obtained for the Island, itis the local government which obtains it and not the gritty six at Ottawa. When the interests of the Island demand it, thisSullivan-Ferguson Goverument, tuo, is not afraid to speak out practically and independently, regardiess of party ties. Their efforts for the complete fulfilment of the terms of confederation are a lasting monument to their earnestness and hon- esty. If they have not been as successful as they wish, the fault is not theirs; it lies at the door of successive Dominion governments, both Grit ard Liberal-Con- servative and in the eccentric whims of electors who will persist in sending repre- sentatives to Ottawa out of sympathy with the government, whose talents seem to have been developed in a grumbling school, and whose little souls are more exercised about cab hire, freight bills, Inch Arran Hotels, than they are about anything else, save the amount of small talk they can do, to earn their sessional allowance.”’

— The following, from the Independent, should be constantly borne in mind by all ‘“who take a drop now and then” :— ‘**Drunkness is a disease of the body as really as typhoid fever or any other physi- cal disease. No man that is drunk is at the time in the normal condition of health. His body is over-stimulated with insoxicating liquvr. His stomach, heart and brain feel the effect. No one who has the habit of drunkenness, so that he freely drinks in- toxicating liquors every day, is really a healthy man. He has an inflamed stomach, « disordered nervous system. and imperfect digestion of his food, and may have organic changes of the body. He is the victim of a siow poison that is constantly sapping the foundations of health, and will ultimately destroy him altogether unless the habit is abandoned. The direct effect is always upon his body, and this is one of impaired or ruined heaith, as really as if he should form the habit of eating arsenic or swallow- ing laudanum every day. Drunkenness is not a disease which comes upon one with- out his fault, and which he cvuld not avoid. [t is a self-produced disease, which it is in the power of the man himself to prevent and also to cure, by avoiding its cause, and hence, It 18 & Si” Against himself and against the God who made him and holds him responsible for a right use of all his powers both physical and mental. No one has a right to do anything the direct tendency of which is todamage or destroy his body. the temptation to drink incident to. and the consequence of, the habit of drinking 18 no excuse for drunkenness, and no excuse for any crime whicha drunken man may commit. Both God and man treat the _ drunkard as an offender, and he is Such. We may pity him when we think of the power of his appetite over him, operating through his diseased physi- cal nature; but we should never so pity him a§ not to condemn him, and do our utmost to lead him to condemn himself and reform his life. The truth is that a drunkard is a sinner as really as a murderer, and he must repent and forsake this sin or he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Drunkards do not go to heaven, any more than blas- phemers. They are enumerated in the list of those who will not enter that kingdom. The essential sinfulness of drunkness is an ides that must not be lost sight of in the effort to reform drunkards.”

Varia.

The week before last the two Queens— Victoria of England, and Christina, Regent of Spain---met at San Sebastian, and good cannot fail to come of a meeting between two Sovereigns so similarily cireumstanced as the widowed rulers of the two kingdoms. As soon as our Queen's visit to Biarritz was decided upon, the Queen Regent of Spain determined, if it were possible, to meet one who had shown her such sisterly sympathy as Queen Victoria had. Moreover, since the Caroline Islands dispute, Spain had gravitated more towards England than Germany. Hence there was every reason why a meeting should take place. Cueen Christina first proposed coming to Biarritz; but when it was found that she could not leave Spain without the special leave of the Cortes, it was arranged that the meeting should take place on the Spanish side of the frontier, and just in the Basque pro- vinces. The Queen of England cast off her anonymity for the nonce—she has been traveiling as Countess of Balmoral—-but though she desired the ceremony of her re- ception to be confined within the narrowest limits, she must have been amazed at what Spaniards characterized as hardly any cere- monial at all. Spanish etiquette is pro- verbial, and we are glad to be assured that in spite of it the two Queens met and part- ed on very cordial terms.

* *

‘*B.” asks who is meant by “the dis- crowned glutton.” As far as I can make out it was a nickname given to Charles V. after his abdication. Some writers tell us that he found, when too late, that his abdi- cation was a terrible mistake, that he had no taste for retirement; but, disappointed in his schemes, broken in fortune, his affairs in confusion, and failing in mental powers, he determined to retire from pub- lic life and prepare himself for death, and that he kept up his gluttony and intemper- ance after retiring to the monastery ‘of Yuste in Estramadura.

On the other hand, History of the Reign of Charles V., gives a very different account of his habits in the monastery. He says: ‘‘In this retirement Charles formed such a plan of life for him-

| self as would have suited the condition of a His

table was neat but plain; his domestics few; |

private person of a moderate fortune.

all the cumbersome and cermonious forms of attendance on his person, were entirely abulished, as destructive of that social ease and tranquility which he courted in order to sooth the remainder of his days.”

I imagine that this is overdrawn, and that Prescott is nearer the truth. How- ever that may be, the title ‘* Thediscrowned giutton” is by general assent awarded to Charles V.

I have so little acquaintance with legal terms that I feel myself unable to judge of the fitness of the phraseology used in the following ode. Probably it may commend itself to some of my legal friends :

How sweet ’tis to stroll by the streams of Demurrer, Where Detinue sighs to the evening breeze; Where groves of Mandamus are mellowed in color, And high soar the Costs in Exchequer of Pleas,

"Tis there that the sisters Assumpsit and Trover Disport with the Mortgages sitting in banc, W hile around, the fierce Chattels and Cogniz- ance hover, : And Rejoinders gnash rage as their fetters they clank.

Dark Venue broods there, ’mid the bleak Certiorari The coo of the distant Avowry is heard; And the sprightly Malfeazance trips light asa fairy, With the mild Surrebutter and Judgment Deferred,

O, ‘tis there I would muse, and I'd dream of Assizes, And feast on ripe Codicil and Assignee; Or, soothed by the strain of the dulcet De- mises, I'd quaff foaming goblets of Felo-de-se. + *

+ A correspondent tinds fault with the translation of the prayer of Mary, Queen of Scots, in last Saturday’s issue, urging that her request was not to be set free from her sins, but from her captivity. The translation is not mine. 1 gave it as 1 found it, but perhaps the following will suit my correspondent better : O Lord, my God, I have relied on Thee, Now, O, dear Jesu, set me, set me free. In chains, in pains, long have I wished for Thee, Faint, and with groans, I bowing on my knee, Adore, implore Thee, Lord, to set me free. *

* _ The expression ** God Speed the Plough,” is, | think, to be first found in the Fourth Part of the Homily (Anglican) against Wil- ful Rebellion, and occurs in the following paragraph :

** Let no good and discreet subjects, there- fore, follow the flag or banner displayed to rebellion, and born by rebels, though it have the plough painted thereon, with God speed the plough written under in great letters, know- ing that none hinder the plough more than rebels, who will neither go to the plough themselves nor suffer others that would go to it. gt

I gave some specimens, a short time ago, of equivocal verses. The following hardly comes under that designation, but some of my young readers might apply themselves to master this mysterious looking docu- ment. It is an exact copy of one of the many ingenious contrivances adopted by the proprietors of the rosoglio house (in plain English, dram houses) in Valetta, to attract the custom and patronage of the gallant red-jackets that occasionally swarm the streets.

I would reply to * E. E.” that although Washington is known as **The Father of his Country,” the allusion is not to him, it could not be, for America had not been discovered for more than four hundred years afterwards. Sugar, Abbe of St. Denis, is evidently intended, and he was known by this sobriquet. Indeed, the title has been by no means uncommon. The Roman Senate gave it to Cicero, and Marius was offered but refused it, and in later years several of the Emperors were so called.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Letter from Rev. J. M. McLeod.

Srr,— Newspaper editors know that in | every community there are inquisitive people anxious to pry into the secrets of the edi- torial sanctum. While Assistant Editor of the Island Guardian, and svon after the Belfast article appeared, in auswer to a re- mark made by a gentleman on the street— **Mr. So-and-So wrote that article,” or words to that effeet—the impression was, I dare say, by my reply, Jeft in the mind of the party that it was written by Judge Alley, as that was the impression upon my own mind at the time. But as the para- graph in question is entirely free from party politics, only asks the candidates to declare their views on the C. T. Act, and would not, in my opinion, stain even the spotless ermine of our venerable Chief Justice, a correction of the impression which seems to have been produced was not deemed neces- sary. As soon, however, as my attention was called te the unjust attack made on the Judge, based partly upon the conversa- tion referred to, 1 at once placed the infor- mation afterwards obtained before the parties*‘concerned, completely exonerating the Judge from the authorship of the article referred to,

Yours, &.,

J. M. Mactrgop.
