THE DAILY EXAMINER.

a JANUARY 8, 1889.

The Mails iaes.

THE mails which were brought over yes- terday in the Stanley, were received here shortly before noon to-day—in about nine- teen hours from Georgetown and forty hours after the time those from the United States and New Brunswick reached Pictou, eighty miles distant. This is Progress—at the rate of two miles an hour !

Canada is providing ocean racers to carry the mails between Halifax and Liverpoo) in five days; Canada has provided railways by which the mails are carried from Halilax to Vancouver in six days. But Canada thinks so little of Prince Edward Island since she sent’ up six Grits, that she forwards our mails at the snail’s pace of

/two miles an hour !

We protest that the punishment is too great. We protest against making all the people in the Province suffer because a majority have erred.

Where the Blame Lies.

A GREAT many persons in the community blame the Post Office -Inspector (Mr. Brecken) for the lack of energy, the dis- graceful and callous indifference, exhibited in the treatment of this Province by the Post Office Department. It is, of course, natural for an angry people to vent their wrath upon the first tangible object within their reach. This is, no doubt, the reason why the official reputation of Mr. Brecken suffers on account of the official inaction and neglect of the Postmaster General. We are assured that Mr. Brecken has re- presented the facts to the department, and tnat he has done everything he could, consistently with his position and the orders he has received from Ottawa, to induce the department to supply the train accommo- dation which is required for the transmis- sion of our mails. This being so, all the blame of having the mails delayed at Georgetown must now rest upon the shoulders of the Postmaster General. However much he may naturally have been inclined to doubt the ‘‘ strong language ” of Mr. Davies or the gasconading of Mr. Welsh, he has now no excuse ; because he has been fully informed of the matter from sources which are undoubted.

———_—_—_—_—_—_— Lecture at New Perth.

On Thursday evening, the 3rd inst., the Rev. Mr. Goldsmith, of Montague, lectured |s in the Schoolroom, on ‘** The Isle of Man.”

Mr. William Kaneen occupied the chair,

The lecture was well delivered, and con- tained much that was instructive and en- tertaining. The speaker dwelt on the early settlement of the Island by the Druids, the introduction of Christianity by St. Patrick, the fishing and mining interests, and especially on the ‘‘ Dear little Island of Man” as a summer resort for inhabitants of England, particularly those of the great manufacturing Counties of York and Lan- cashire.

The following facts given by the rey.

your readers :

The Isle of Man contains about 130,000 acres, the population is about 70,000. The Island has a parliament elected at pre- sent by the people, a council, and also a Lieutenant Governor appointed by the Crown.

The number of tourists to the Island during summer of 1888, was 284,000, a fall- ing off from the preceding season of 40,000, owing to the wet weather. A complete network of railways covers the whole country, and so great is the traflic that trains leave the principal points every half- hour. Twenty steamers of a superior class maintain communication with the main- land. Douglas, containing a population of 20,000, is the capital, and has a magnificent harbor, with al] the modern improvements. A water wheel, 72 feet in diameter, which is said to be the largest in the world, is used for pumping water out of a mine 1,300 feet deep.

At the close of the lecture, interesting remarks were made by Mr. John Kaneen regarding the progress of the island since his departure therefrom, well nigh 50 years ago, and also by C. A. Shaw, Esq., M. P. P., and others. After the customary vote of thanks, the meeting closed by singing **God Save the Queen.” The proceeds go towards purchinga clock for the use of the school.

A Golden Eagle.

C. C. Cartton, Esq., of Souris, is not only a genuine live American who believes in the great American eagle of his native country, but he is also the owner of a genu- ine golden live eagle that was caught in his adopted country in the month of October last.

This rare bird was captured at Littie Harbor by a Mr. McLellan, who happened | ¢ to be strolling along the shore on the morn- ing after a heav y southerly storm. The bird did not appear injured in any way, but seemed exhausted, or, as his captor put it, ‘‘winded.” He could run some, but did not attempt to fiy. He was easily over- taken and brought te Souris, where he was sold to his present owner, who feeds him sumptuously every day.

This eagle is a large one. He stands three feet high, and measures from the tip

of one wing to the tip of the other exactly seven feet. With a bill stout and strong ~Jenough to take a man’s finger off, and with feet and claws big as a medium sized man’s hand, he presents a very formidable ap- pearance when his temper is aroused,

‘*A great eagle, with great wings, long winged, full of feathers which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon and took the highest branch of the cedar.”

Mr. Carlton keeps his in a crockery crate, but intends building him a handsome cage ere long.

on=-isninighiiceataliiltlait cms Souris Notes.

THE steamer Harlow arrived here on the 6th inst., en route to Magdalen Islands, carrying ‘mails, freight, &c. On her re- turn on Monday morning she will call at this port and take on board 20,000 bushels oats, shipped to Halifax by Mr. Frank Conroy, one of the most enterprising busi- ness men of Souris. Mr. Conroy will also be a passenger to Halifax, to dispose of his cargo to the best possible advantage, and seek the highest market—also to test the capabilities of the boat should she be required by him on any future occasion.

Capt. Hill, of the Halifax, arrived here by train, on the 5th., and is staying at the Sea View Hotel. Shortly after his arrival he was interviewed, and stated that he is here with a view of considering the feasi- bility of building a sister ship to the Hali- fax, to call at this portonce a week next season.

The great centre of attraction here during the Christmas and New Year's holidays was the appearance of a petrified man, found ina swamp in Bull Creek, who was exhibi- tedin the show window of the principal business mart of the town. It wasa novel way of advertising, by which the proprie- tors.netted several hundred dollars more than on any previous similar occasion.
