Barefaced Hypocrisy.

lus Grit party, if noted for anything, can claim to be one of the most conglomerated masses of cant, hypocrisy and deception extant. The average supporter of that faction can hardly suppress a smile when reading the very moral lecvures against ‘** Tory corruption,” now being published by their pure editors on account of the unseating of Sir Charles Tupper and Postmaster-General McLelan. One would, for the moment, be led to think that the party which claimed such a monopoly of purity and a horror of anything approa h- ing wrong, could not be guilty of the

merest ‘‘indiscretion.”’ But the scales fall

quickly from the eyes when the unsophisti

eated Grit remembers their own past record, notab’y in the famous ** trap door ballot box,” ‘*the John Simpson Bank,” ‘Ballot Box Stuffing,” ‘“‘John Madiver” und the “lots of money they used to put

vn rruption” and ‘elevate the standard They will also remember the record of the same purists when on the

Before leaving Broadview, a number of the visiting journalists drove over to the estate of Dr. Meyer, a wealthy German ventleman who catue to this country three years ago. His farm is five miles long and three miles wide. ‘The tiny Pipestone River meanders through it, and it includes a large section of the broad and feitile Pipestone Valley.

Che Doctor gave us a warm welcome to the home he has planted in this new world, His house is beautifully situated near the foot of a hill which is about a hundred feet high. ‘The Pipestone flows in front of it, und it commands an extensive view of smiling valley and wooded hill.

the Doctor has been experimenting with seeds obtained in France, Germany and ltaly ; and though his cultivation is by no

And the End ts Not Yet. | es A TERRIBLE VENDETTA IN LUNENBURG, N. 8.

| —

The settlement known as New Cornwall, inthe county of Lunenburg, has long ev joyed the reputation of being the home o| nearly all the lawlessness of the county, says the Halifax Chronicle. In other sec- tions of the county, as a rule, the people are quiet, peaceable and law-abiding. In ‘New Cornwall, which contains a number of farms and a considerable area of very fair farming land, with a fair number of well- disposed and industrious people, there re- side some of the most vindictive, reckless and dangerous characters tu be found this side of the Rocky Mountains. About two years ago, or perhaps two and a half, a young man not more than 20 years of age, was tried for shooting at a ueighbor with intent to kill or wound. He was convicted and sent to Dorchester penitentiary for two years. In less than a year he was released on the ground that he was likely to die if kept longer in continement. At the term of the court following that at which he was convicted, his accuser, a muiddle-

pair of oxen, the property of a magistrate who had issued a process against him, The offence was proved to have been committed by him some 13 years ago, and he was sent

home, having served out his sentence. During the summer, in July last, a valu- able piece of woodland belonging to the

convicted of killing the oxen was burned, together with a horse, cows, hay, grain and other valuable property. Last week the turn for shouting came about again, and the young man who had been previously convicted of shooting was the victim. A}

' Hon. Mr. Robson, Grit representative of the British Columbia Government,seems to be of a different stripe from those that

vinces. In an interview respecting the emcee ea '

disallowance bill he said: ‘*I think the people are convinced that it is to their in- terest and that of the whole country to pro- tect the great national highway from undue competition, which the tapping of it in the very heart of the country might involve. | , We are satisfied to forego our wish for P 4

railway connection between New West- oD Ee ° Ma ACDO N A B, ae minster and the boundary, though it would e e be a benefit to us.” Referring to the, ee Behrings sea trouble he says: ‘Our people are ju-tly indignant cver the treat- ment they have received from the Alaska cruisers. Victoria is especially interested in that industry. Twice a year the sealing fleet comes home with cargves valued at about $250,000, or half » milion | yearly, and the business is just in its infancy. All revognize, however, the

some fluke or the prevalence of some mis- leading statements on the part of his friends he might escape the penalty. The magnitude of the Yarmouth corruption fund is yet remembered by our readers, and the fact remains that a large proportion of

the funds used to debauch the electors

were paid out by cheques issued by the Lovett firm, of which the unseated repre sentative was a member. One of their

local papers has defied Lovett to disprove this statement and challenges him to bring the case into court! But this is not an isulated case; we could fill columns with the recital of frauds, intimidation, mis- presentation, bribery and huimbug as eticed by that political curiosity known as the Grit party in Canada. We do not claim absolute purity for any political creed, and must admit that poor human nature is terribly fallible, and parties like in dividuals nay snd dw» commit wrong, but we abhor the despicable and cowardly hypocrisy indulged in at present by the Opposition. If the Liberal-Conservative party is in the mud, it will be admitted that the Grit faction are irretrievably in the mire, and in their present pusition are

destined to remain until such time as the

cobwebs fall from their vision, and looking back into the dark past of their political history, resolve that they will act fairly with their opponents and remove by studied penitence the stigma which remains upon them as a party, and the humbug

characterizing them as a faction. al

At present the attacks of the Opposition onthe Dominion Administration are fewand

far between. By their own correspondents

they are compelled to admit the progress of the country, especially the Northwest por- tion. Peace and plenty still remains in +}

THE EXHIBITION AT GRENFEL

was one of the best we have seen. I counted eighty-five head of cattle in the competition, ineluding fvur pure-bred registered Shorthorn bujls. There were a fer pensof sheep and pigs-—-pure-bred for the most part—and al] in capital condition. Several fine horses were also shown, but no (what we would call) first-class animals. Che rvots and vegetables were excellent in all the classes, and there was a large dis- play of well-inade butter. Of home-made preserves and pickles there was no lack ; and the ladies made a very creditable exhi- bit of fancy needlework and works of art. Among the successful exhibitors are Mr. Charles Coles and his wife. Mr. W. S. McGowan is Secretary of the Agricultural Society under whose auspices the show was held.

The New Way Around the World.

Proressor BuELL gave his grand spec- tacular entertainment entitled, *‘A New Way Around the World,” in St. Dunstan's Cathedral last evening. Notwithstanding the wet and exceedingly disagreeable weather, there was a large turnout of citi- zens, and at eight o’clock, when the per- formance commenced, the Cathedral was well filled. His Lordship Bishop Mc- Intyre and many of the priests of the div- cese occupied resersed chairs in the centre aisle. The entertainment consisted ofa series of beautifully executed pictures of Canada, the United States and Europe, and many scenes wonderful and interest-

ing in history. The views of the Great Northwest were particularly

good, bringing out in bold re- lief the many beauties of that remarkable portion of this fair and fertile *‘Canada of Ours.” The Professor started out from Montreal, | proceeded to Ottawa, thence along the North Shore to the new line at Sault Ste. Marie, through the Canal and along the shores of Lake Superior to Port Arthur. From Port Arthur he went up the Kaministiqgua to Rat Portage and on to Winnipeg. Leaving Winnipeg he soon | reached Brandon and proceeded through ‘the Qu’Appelle Valley, Regina, Medicine Hat, ete., and over the Rockies, Selkirks }and other mountains and gold regions, on | through British Columbia to the railway terminus at Vancouver, closing the con- tinental trip with » magnificent view of Esquimault, the great naval station of the Pacific Coast.

His trip across the continent of Europe | was also exceedingly interesting. Several of those present were familiar with many the places shown, and were xgreeably surprised at the correctness of the views. Beginning with the pyramids he travelled through Egypt to Jerusalem, thence to Italy,France, Germany, England, Scotland ;}and Jreland and returned to Montreal by | way of Halifax and St John. The pictures of the statesmen; prelates,

which the views of the different places were interspersed, were splendid. Eac picture shown was briefly introduced by Prof. Buell, and the Cathedral choir furnished appropriate music during the evening.

The Professor has given his entertain- ments under al) the distinguished patron- age that Canada can afford. He has num- bered among his audiences the- Marquis of Lorne, the i Sir John A. Macdonald and his lady, the various bishops and archbishops of Canada’s Catholic clergy,as-well as the high officials of other denominations, each and all of whom were as well pleased with the entertainment

Barber Pitt Breaks the Record.

At nine o'clock last night there was standing room only in Victoria rink, the management having failed to provide seats for the men and buys, who to the number of 200 assem:Jed to see Mr. Pitt, for a wager, shave a man and run one hundred yards in one minute. It was just ten o'clock when the magician of the evening appeared, and with a keen razor tackled the lathered face of John Giggey, the victim selected for the occasion. And the way that razor flew around Giggey’s countenance was a dazzling surprise to all beholders. In just 274 seconds, official time, Mr. Pitt yelled ‘* next,” and flung his razor to the fioor in triumph. Then he ran around the rink two | or three times to warm up, while James Slater measured off the course with an elec- tric light pole. The ofticial watch was at a dead standstill all this time. When *‘ go” was called, Pitt dashed off like a deer and crossed the line amid the cheers of the select assembly and the tooting of locomo- tives outside, in exactly 14$ seconds —hay- ing completed his task 18 seconds i the limit. Mr. Pitt offered to put up $100 or $200 that he could shave two men and run 100 yards within one minute. No takers.—St. John Sun.

In Double Fetters.

A curiosity in the criminal docket at the present sitting of the supreme court in Halifax, is the case of Henry James. In July last he was arrested for burning the house of a good louking widow on this side of middle age. He was brought before a justice of the peace and pleaded guilty. No examination was gone into, and the magistrate, simply on his admission, sent him to jail to await trial beforethe supreme court. A few weeks passed and one Sun- day in St. Luke’s Church the banns were called between Henry James and Mrs. Miller, and shortly after F. R. Murray called at the jail. Mrs. Miler, the widow, whose house had been burned, was the bride; and Henry James, the prisoner who pleaded guilty to the offence, wasthe greom. A

man, and the turnkey were the witnesses. Mrs. Miller, now James, was the only wit ness of any importance against her husband;

good chance of escaping. She employed ,counsel to defend her husband, and the _matter had avery favorable complexion till it was discovered he was bound to plead guilty. And he did so in spite of ail that his friends could do to change him. The interest shown by his wife in his be- half has evinced that she loves him very dearly, while be evidently isn’t very appre-
