But thia rule vanuot be followed while the leading organ wt the Opposition is ruled by Farret and while Sir Richard Cartwright is under the apell of Washiagton. CUntil the intrigue with Wiman, the policy of the Opposition in respect to Reciprecity was identical with tbat of the Government. There wasa dispute between the parties concerning the method of procedure to be followed in order to obtain reciprocity, but none in re- #pect to reciprocity itself. Both parties desired that ic should be negotiated on the principle contained in the Treaty of 1854. Not until Wiman, Farrer and other annex- ationiats on both sides of the iine had pro- walgated their idea of Commercial Union, and Sir Richard Cartwright lad beou induced to become a party to the intrigue and to secept it under che name of ** Unrestricted Reciprocity,” did the Liberal party think of any Other form of reciprocity than t¥at contained in the old treaty. We heave no doubt that, now that the country has pronevuced against the policy which leads on to Wazhington to the desiruction vf the Canadian Nationality, the Liberal party wonld roadily—as in duty bound— fall back to its forwer position within the old lines and joim with the Government in sn bouest attempt to induce the Congress and Government of the States to consent to @ treaty which would be mutually bene- ficial to both countrics without disturbing the politica] status of either, ~if Farrer and Wimaan and other avowed annexationists were not still et work Gnd still influencing the councils of the Liberal party.

INFANTRY,

The S2sd Bsttalion, under command of Lt.-Colonel Dogherty, came into Camp on the 25th June, and did excellent work durin their 12 days’ training. I find this District

reatly improved in smartness, and the men ave a fine physique and an excellent soldierly beariug.

No Mnsketry was done, owing to the ** Range” not being available ; this is a ve important question. I trust the matter will be taken ap, and that the Range may be available to the Militia aa heretofore. The conduct of the men in Camp was all that could be desired.

BANDS,

The two Bands here, I think, have good

prospects of becoming very good. GENERAL REMARKS,

Jt will be seen that this District is 23 over the authorized number, but being reaily 16 under in No. 9 Military District, and Lt.. Colonel Curren having knocked off $300, or thereabouts, from the Artillery Pay Lists, my two Districts will come out right as regards actnal cost,

The Stores are in excellent condition, re- flecting credit on Major Dogherty, and 1... Colonel Irving is invaluable, as usual.

Referring to the Garrison Artillery, Lr.- Col. Irwin, the Inspecting Officer, says :

** Inspected No.1 and 2 Batteries at Charlottetown on the 18th August, in com- pany with Lieut.-Col. Worsley, D. A. G.

hese Batteries were, as usual, in a very high state of efticiency. Capt. Longworth, Commanding No. 2 Battery, had not. re- turned from the Bisley Meeting at my in- spection, but returned a few days after- wards, and ashe had drilled his Battery before leaving for England, he is shown an the returns as present with his corps.”

Major Davidson, R. E., Inspector of the Engiueers, has the following to say of the Charlottetown Corps :

** Inspected at Charlottetown on the 7th July. The turn out was very guod, and, aa usual, the appearance of the men, their clothing, arms and accoutrementa, waa very satisfactory.

** A good piece of work was done in com- petition for tho Gzowski Cup, for which the second prize was afterwards awarded. It consisted of 4 portion of a field redoubt with splinter-proof cover under the ban- quette aud parapet, Considering that the time was limited to three reliefs (see con- ditions attached in Appendix A.) asplinier-

roof cover of such a kind should uot have een attempted. In other respects the de- sign was good. _ ** The need of a few days’ dri}l each year is still evident.”

Seep . Lecture on the Angle-Israel uestion.

According to announcement a paper was read by Mr. W. A. Harris in +a Meeting House, Malpeque Koad, last Friday even- ing on the “I lentification of the Anglo- Saxon race with the lost tribes of [arael.” The ineeting was well attended and the audience listened with marked attention to the arguments which the lecturer advanced m support of his position. After the read- img, of the paper an javitation was given to the audience to discuss the subject, where- upon Dr. Leeming arose and stated that his views were in accord with the general teuor of the paper and considered the sub- ect worthy of the fullest investigation. r. W. D. Tanton followed in the sate strain and hoped that Mr. Harris would deliver a series of lectures ubop **-

throughout the day were remarkably well attended. At the celebration of the Holy Communion at 8 a. m., there was a larger | aumbet of communicants than ever before since the church was opened. At ilia.m, the service used was Cambridge's and the singing was excellent, The Rev. T. Hunt wes celebrant and the Benedictus and Agnus Dei were sung by Charles Earle. The Priest Incu:nbeot preached from the text ‘* Come see the place where the Lord !ny " At Evensong the church was crowded to its utmost capacity. The Rev. Jauses Simpson again preached. After the sermon there was a procession round the church and the choir returning to the Sanc- tuary sunga solemn ‘Te Deum.” The service then closed with the Benediction. The offerturies during (lie day amounted to 294.70.

St. Dunsta*'s Catneprat.—The ser- vices at St. Dunstan's Cthedral pesterdsy were largely at tended throgghout.

Atallthe Masses the total number of persons who received Holy Communion was between 450 and 500. The choir at the Pontifical High Mass sang among other renditions Mercadanti’s Incarnatus Est in a very m asterly manner.

First Metuopist Cuvrcn.—-The attend- ances at the First Methodist Church yesterday were large, and the services very impressive. v. W. W. Brewer preached in the morning a bright and ef- fective sermon on the Resurreetion of Our Lord; and in the evening Rev. John Read took for his text John 16 : 28--**i came forth from the father, and am come into the worki; again I leave the world and go to the father.’ The Easter anthems were very beautiful. It is a pleasure to listen to music which has been so well learned and diligently practised. It is a pity to see the choir so weak in numbers. Some of the parts were lost for rant of strength and ful- ness. In the afternoon, Mr. 5. F. Hodg- son addressed the Sunday School on the subject of Alcchol~-the good and the bad

Mr. Archibald White, Sr., was the first witness. He stated that on Sunday night fortnight, while he was absent at church, his house was entered and the same sven- ing he missed a Mexican doublooen, six sov- ereigns and a quantity of paper money from the cask box which he kept ia his bed- room. There was no oue in the house when he left it to gotochurch. Tdocked front door and bolted the back deogs When he came back from chureh he found the front door unlocked. He missed the money from the cash box when -he qras go- ing to bed. So far as hé (witness) knew not one of his family but himself knew that the money was in the box in his room. The doubloon shown me is yery much like the one stolen from the cash box. Taylor was never in witness's house to his wledge. Witness thought the pesorn who s the money must have n well acquainted with the premises. He (witness) cay!d not have gone straighter to the box than did the thief. t

F.S. Moore, toler Merchants Bunk of P. E Island, said that a piece of money similar to the doubloon shown in eourt was presented at the bank counter fot valua- tion. Some ten days prior to this the

Marelial had asked him to let him know if auy euepicious-looking person nted such a piece of money at the Wit-

ness did nut Jike the look of the pergon pre- senting the coin, and notified the Marshal who later on arrived at the scene aad took beih manu and coin into his charge, Doubloons are rare now.

Witness went to Wright's corner shortly before seven and | met prisoner standiug at the corner. | Both stood there taiking for about ten! minutes. Taylorthen said he was going | to hia house and would be back in 10 or 15 mihutes time. Witness waited at corner about ten minutes, and Taylor not soming he started for the Salvation Army’ Barracks. He did not goin. Taylor came siong about three-quarters of an hour later and asked witness why be did not wait for him, Witness said he waited till he got tired. Both left, and while walking along | met a boy named Billy Macpherson. Tay- lor and Macpherson had some conversation. Witness walked along. Taylor said he was going out the road, and left. Did not see him any more that night till about half-past nine when he met him riear Pat Connolly's. , He was with a girl, aad passed with- out speaking. Saw him uo more that night. (Witness was here asked if Taylor gave him’ any money that night, aud declined to. answer on the ground that his fe alao|

might tend to criminate himseif. He also declined to say whether or net Taylor had at any other time given him mon y, for the same‘ reason.) Saw prisoner »gain on | Saterday, the 2ist. Think it was at Me-| Leod’s corner. (Doubloon shown ) Never saw this with Taylor. Was with ‘iaylor on ‘Sunday, 22nd. While witness was stand- ing at Wright's corner with Taylor, Mr. ! White ant several members of his family passed us on their way to charch, When Taylor left witness he waked towards his own house.

Robert Crav ford knew the prisouer, but was not a chum of his. Taylor never spent auy moncy with witness. Never saw any money with witness at all. Prisoner never said anything to him about the robbery, and he knew nvuthing about it other than what he heard on the stveet.

Another Bequest.

Sim,—-The letter of ‘*Yea Verily” in Saturday's issue is worthy of consideration, as the subject is of great irapertance. May I respectfully suggest that our esteemed clergy also give their views oa the doctrine of endleas punishment—as it is now seldom or ever spoken from the pulpit. Theology has very much changed during the past quarter of a century. Many ideas then pre- valent are now ignored.

lf. **a lake of fire and brimstone ” actual- ly exists, it is wrong—I may say criminal— in our ministers to remain silent on the sub- ject. On tke other hand, if they have lost faith in the doctrine, the fact should be made known. Let us be honest in our in- terpretation of such vital subjects.
