an American fisherman will enjoy the right

PRINTERS ON THE QUI VIVE.

Orrawa, Feb. 16.

Regulations forthe guidance of collectors of customs in dealing with parcels carried by mail to and from the States intimate that packages arriving will be delivered from specific offices only, Of these there have been selected 25 in New Brunswick, 45 in Nova Scotia, and 8 in P. E. Island.

A regulation recently passed requires owners or masters of vessels intending tc fish and claim bounty for the coming sea- son, to procure a license before proceeding on their voyage.

Hundreds of applications for positions in the new Government printing bureau are pouring in. The number of hands required will not, however, exceed seventy.

The Scott Act repeal election in this county has resulted in a splendid victory for the temperance party. There are three places tu hear from. The figures now are: for repeal, 1610; against repeal, 2317. There is great rejoicing among the tem- perance people. The majority far exceeds their expectations. The other side is cor: respondingly depressed, The places yet to hear from will not change the result.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Things Seen, Heard and Talked About on the Streets and

Elsewhere.

Apropus of the Millman trial, it may not be out of place to remark that each day during the progress of the case the ladies were present, apparently as much in-

terested in the proceedings as the sterner sex. Every day they were to be seen occupying prominent positions in Court, and craving their

necks to get a better view of the prisoner in the dock. Many people thought they showed very poor taste in turning out in such numbers—that the married ladies would have been much better employed at home attending to their household duties ; and that the younger ones should be at the same place assisting them. I heard at least one gentleman—a gentleman promi- nent in legal and political cireles, and who considers himself a good judge of character —remark that if he were a young man, and were looking for a wife, one of those girls who attended Court would be the very last he would think of choosing. This is cer- tainly something for our young people to think over. +

The irregularity with which we have been receiving our foreign mails during the pre- sent winter is the subject of universal com- ment and execration. Never before were we so shabbily treated in this respect. Even in the matter of keeping the public posted regarding the movements of the couriers at the Capes, there is much room for improve- ment on the part of our post office officials. Three or four times within the past two months my eyes were gladdened by the sight of the * bulletin” in the cor- ridor; but that’s all. Now, this ‘‘ bulletin” should be exposed in the corridor daily, not semi-occasionally as at present. If the present staff of postal clerks cannot tind time to write the brief announcement on the board, the Department should call! for tenders for some one-to do it. At any rate the people want the information, and must have it.

es

In one of my previous contributions I referred to the fact that the question of funeral reform was agitating the Episcopal clergymen of New York, and intimated that um association, having for its object the furtherance of their views, was in process of formation. | Now I have to record that the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Douglass, who was buried at East Wareham, Mass., recently, provided in his will that his body should go to earth in a pine box, and that nobody should run the risk of catching cold by standing bareheaded at his grave. It is stated that a prominent citizen, who died in Charlottetown during the past summer, made an almost identical request previous to his demise. Whether or not the request was complied with I cannot say.

**

Our young people have evidently been enjoying themselves during the past few weeks. They have had carnivals, leap year skates, balls, parties, etc., and to-night they are to haye a moccasin dance-—whatever that is. All the events which have taken place have been pronounced *“ decided successes,’ and if some of the young ladies did not take advantage of their leap year priviliges it was not for lack of opportunity, And now some of the young people are talking about a fancy dress ball—one similar to that held inthe Market Hall several years ago. Those among us who were privileged to attend that charming gathering still have fond recollections there- of, and wish the present movement a happy and successful termination.

**

It may be interesting to my readers, par- ticularly those of them who have attended the different auction sales cf second-hand furniture, etc., held in the city during the past summer, to learn that the library,

furniture, ete., of the late in- sane King Ludwig, of Bavaria, which cost $160,000, was recently sold for $4,000. Just fancy $160,000 worth

going for $4,000. The contrary is the in- variable rule in Charlottetown. — Secend- hand articles are generally sold for as much if not more than they cost when new. But then Ludwig's executors probably never heard of Charlottetown nor its auctioneers. Such is fame. PERcy.
