Temperance and Prohibition,

‘ue General Assembly of the Presby terian Church of Canada has made the fol lowing Deliverance concerning the vice of intemperancs

DELIVERANCE,

l. That this Assembly records its profound gratitude to God for the signal success of femperance principles during the past year, and its deep satisfaction with the unmistak- able ady snce of Temperance and Prohibition sentiment throughout the land.

3. That this Assembly re-affirms the oft- repeated testimony of our Church to the eilect that intemperance is asin against God and a crime against society ; its conviction that intemperance is a hindrance to the cause of Christ and a great social curse; and its earnest desire to see the evil exterminated by the preaching of the Gospel, the power of education of the young in (emperance principles, and by such deadly blows as a vigorous and enlightened iegislation alone can intlict.

3. That masmuch as the Canada Temper- ance Act, wherever faithfully enforced, has greatly reduced the evils of intemperance, this Assembly recommends Presbyteries, Sessions and congregations to use all proper means to secure its adoption and rigid en- forcement, not as an ultimate remedy for the evils of intemperance, put as a step towards the total suppression of the liquor trafic.

4. That whereas the said act has proved to be defective as to the means for enfore- ing it, this Assembly expresses gratitude to those provincial Goverments that have already recognized their responsibility for the proper administration of the law, and further resolves to petition all Provincial ieovernments to appoint to this responsible duty a sufficient number of officers in ful] sympathy with the provisions of the Act.

5. That, in accordance with the recom- mendstion adopted by the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa, this asse mbly, being tally convinced of the necessity of legal protection against the evils of the liquor traffic, expresses the hope that electors in

their choice of members of Par- fiament will seek to elect able and good

men, who are well known to be in syinpathy with prohibitory legislation.

The Patriot ought to be able to find in this deliverance of the General Assembly a justification of the Ministers of the Gospel who wrote and preached against certain of the Opposition candidates in the late elec- tion. Elders, too, might have taken the hint.

Tue latest returns remove every doubt that Gladstone will fall under his Home Rule Bill. We may admire the courage and strength of the man ; but it is evident that he is unable, and never will be able, to gain fer Lreland the boon What then?

Something must be done, and that some- thing must commend itself to the Irish leader, or there will be civil war. The prospect, it will be admitted, is sufficiently dark. We know tuo much of the character of Parnell] to expect that he will abate his claims or cease to obstruct the business of Parliament until his end be gained ; nor do we anticipate that Salisbury, haughty: stubborn and flushed with triumph, will be disposed to give way.

The Steamer Merrimack.

HER FIRST TRIP TO THIS PORT-—SHE GOES AGROUND AT LOW TIDE NEAR RIFLEMAN REEF, BUT ESCAPES UNINJURED AND ABRIVES SAFELY IN PORT-—-VISITED AND ADMIRED BY LARGE NUMBERS OF LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HER PASSENGER LIST.

Trts splendid steamship, which is this season to supplement the Carroll and Wor cester between Boston and this port, arrived here yesterday afternoon. The Merrimack left Boston on Saturday last, at half-past one o'clock, with a cargo of general mer- chandize and 310 passengers. She arrived in Halifax at nine o'clock Sunday evening, but did not dock until four o’clock Monday morning, After discharging cargo and pas- sengers she left at 10 o'clock for Port Hawkesbury, where she arrived at daylight next morning. The cargo and passengers were landed as quickly as possible, and at 10 o'clock same day she left for Pictou, where she arrived at half-past two same

afternoon. The passengers and cargo for that port were disposed of, a supply

of coal taken on board, and the services of Pilot Monroe secured to bring the steamer to this port. . Pictou was left at half-past seven Tuesday night. After about an hour’s sail, and twelve miles had been covered, the shipeame to anchor as _ it was storming heavily. She remained at anchor until three o'clock Wednesday morning, when the journey was resumed, There was a slight fog prevailing during the early part of the morning, which evidently misled the Pilot, causing him to make a grievous error of judgment and go upwards of two miles out of his course, in doing which he run the steamer aground ona mud bank, near Rifleman’s Reef, a few miles east of Point Prim. At the time of the grounding Captain Crowell was standing in the wheel-house door, and felt the ship graze. He immediately realized what was the matter, sprang to the and sounded for the engines to be reversed. This was done immediately, before the

bells

Pilot—who was apparently in a worse fog than the steamer—realized that she was aground. Che Capt. remonstrated with the Pilot for his carelessness in allow- ing the ship te ground, and the Pilot sail he could not understand = the

matter at allas he supposed she was sail- ing smoothly along im her regular course. A boat was immediately lowered and sound- ings taken. It was ascertained that one side of the steamer had grazed the mud bank and she had grounded at low tide, also that she would float as soon as the tide would rise. Owing to the manner in which the steamer had struck the bank, and the low tide, she had listed somewhat, and a kedge anchor was thrown out from the port quarter in order to keep her from going further upon the bank. About half-past one o'clock, after the tide turned flood and

the ship had righted, the anchor was raised, the engines reversed, and she backed otf into deep water—uninjured.

She then proceeded on her way and arrived in pert about 4 o'clock, but owimg to her large size and the varying current, consider- able difficulty was experienced in docking her, and it was not until almost 6 o'clock that this was accomplished and the pas- sengers landed.

The Merrimack is a handsome ship and her model was much sdmired by fhe large number of people who assembled on the wharf to welcome her to this port. As soon as she had been docked and her’ pas- sengers landed, a number of ladies and gentlemen went on board and were courteously shown through the steamer by the officers. The accommodation” is ex- cellent, the saloons and staterooms being magnificently furnished and the appoint- ments first-class in every respect. Follow- ing are the names of the officers :

Captain—-Gustavus Crowell.

Many and interesting are the anecdotes

told about Mr. Gladstone and not the least noteworthy is one told by Adam Badeau in his new work ‘‘Aristocrrey in England,” in which he says: ‘*On another occasion, some | years later, he (Gladstone) was good enough to ask me to breakfast. It was on the morning of a day when there was to be a great debate, which he was to lead; the re- sult might decide the fate of a momentus measure, and either retain him in power or overthrow him. He had at table a_ party of ten, only two of them ladies and one of those his daughter. Among the other guests were a distinguished divine, an ee-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. ee Can f¢ Be True?

Str,—A few days ago the Patriol (¢) in- formed the ioyal people of Prince Edward Island that theiv representative (Mr. L. H. Davies) in the Dominion House of Commons had been elevated toa Vice-Presidency in the Young Liberal’s Association, during the convention at Montreal. This is an honor of which he may be proud, that is,

longs are governed by the spirit of the neighboring Republic. But I, as ene, must differ with the ex-Governor in lauding our loud-spoken representative, when tak- ing into consideration the report of that convention, as contained in the New York Herald of the 3rd inst., which reads as fc lows :

‘The Young Liberals convention resumed the debate on Canadian Independence at its sitting in presence of a full attendance of delegates, who expected that the vote could be taken without delay, but the number of speakers who clainicd the floor was such that it became evident that no other question could be brought before the convention if the discus- sion on the independence of Canada was to be persisted in. It was therefore resolved unani- mously to adjourn the debate to the next convention, although the majority of the dele- gates present favored independence,”

Was the debate adjourned to the next convention to give our loyal and patriotic representative, the newly elected Vice- President, a chance to open the flood-gates of his intellect and convey to that disloyal Association his views on the question of our severance from the British Empire! If such is the case, let all loyal men in this Island look upon Louis Henry Davies with suspicion, and treat him as he deserves. Perhaps he has not accepted the honor (/) conferred, But lam of opinion his vanity will lead him te anything, and as the ques- tion of our fisheries, which our neighbors now feel sore about, may be looming up in the way of another commission, he may wish to be on hand.

Yours, Xe., Ex-LispeRa..

Sir,—I beg leave to call the attention of the city authorities to the existence of a nuisance on the east side of Queen Street, near Dorchester, in the form of two curs that are continually biting and snapping at people who pass that way on business.

Yours truly, CITIZEN.

Progress of Canada.

The Hamilton Spectator in an editorial article on Dominion Day gives the follow- ing sketch of Canada’s progress :

‘To-day Canada enters upon the twentieth year of her existence as a Dominion, It is not necessary to again go over the iigures proving how great has been her growth in less than a fifth of a century. It is enough to say that her territory has expanded from 450,000 square miles to 3,500,000; her population has grown from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000; her revenues from $13,000,000 to $32,000,000; her railways irom 4,000 miles to 12,000; her foreign commerce from $131,000,000 to $200,- 000,000, while her manufacturing and other industries have more than kept pace with her growth in these directions. ‘The general gov- ernmeut has, since Confederation, expended $151,000,000 on great public werks, and the separate provinces have liberally followed its example. Except the United States no country in the world has so large a railway mileage, in proportion to population as Canada, and it is doubtfulif even the United States can beat her. We have the longest continuous line of railway in existence, and to-day a train which started at the Atlantic tide-water will probably reach tide-water on the Pacific. That great work, the most stupendous railway feat ever undertaken, has been practically accomplished im five years, Nearly the whole of it has been built through a wilderness, where, except at isolated points, not a white man lived, but now a hundred towns and villages have sprung up along its line, and ten thousand people are passing over it each month to take up homes on the vast and fertile plains of the Canadian North- west.”

_—_— —-

BY REV. D. D.

The largest congregation ever witnessed in the Methodist church, at Shediac, as- sembled last Sunday evening to hear the farewell sermon of Kev. D. D. Moore, in which the rev. gentlemen made the follow- ing references: Panl’s farewell to the Ephesian church, Review of Distinctive Doctrine, Adornement, Mollitication by faith, Pastoral Relationship, Relationship to the Chureh. He impressed upon his hearers the need of one Lord, one faith and one baptism, saying as long as minds differ there will be Low church, and High, Catholics and Protestants—adding: If a man is only honest he may not be relegated to hell. He then very ably reviewed the church work, showing nearly 150 conver- sions and the addition of 46 members. My. M. will be greatly missed in the community as lis energy and skill has endeared him to all. During his pastorate he has succeeded in cancelling a large debt on the church and now leaves it free of incumbrance. Mr. M. takes charge of Carmathen street church, St. John, and we sincerely hope his unretiring efforts will prove as success- ful there as here.—Moneton Paper.
