The Shediac and Fictou Steamers. We learn that representations to the Department of Marine and Fisheries having been , and “Princess of Wales” are to remain route until the end of the seasor, to carry freight. Ag the Postmaster here has received no respect to them, it is presumed that they will also continuc to carry the mails,—at least when the “Summerside” and ‘* Nor- thern Light,” which will carry the pas- sengers, are not ut hand or on time. While the cause of Mr. Croker’s in- terference just at this seasov, when of all times iv the year the steamers are most required, remains a mystery to be solved, it is satisfactory to know that the com- merce of the Province is not to be hampered as it would have been had the steamers been laid up for inspection.

The Food Crops of 1883.
Waite the potato yield on Prince Edward Island this season, is less in bulk than that of 1882, yet we have heen blessed with an excellent crop of excellent potatoes; aud there is far less symptoms of rot than there was last year at this period. The probability is that the yield of sownd tubers this year is fully equa! in bushels to that of last season
We are sorry to say, however, that the indications are that the demand for cur potatoes’ in the United States—the only market for the bulk of our surplus crop of potatoes—will not be so great as that of last seasou, and consequeutly the price of our potatoes must rule lower. Last year a heavy droughth throughout New Evgland and ‘in Massachusetts especially, destroyed the greater part of the vegetable growth. The potato crop suffered most of all. Many of the Western States, however, produced evormous crops of potatoes, and with the railway facilities of the country could throw these pctatoes into New England in any quantity, when- ever the price reached or went above a certain price. When potatoes were below that price; our potatoes wete in demand, and kence great quantities were shipped from the Island. Quite early in the season THe Examiner last year
stated that this would be. the probable,
state of the potato trade with the United States, and twenty-five cents per bushel would be the price realized hy farmers. Our deductions proved correct,
We are afraid that. this season’s crop of potatoes will not average last year’s prices. Earlier in the season, us reports reached us from the States, we supposed that the demand for our potatoes would be equal at least to that of last year, as a severe drought this season again pre- vailed in New England. The Boston Journal stated that the dry season was the worse endured for the last 30 years. The potato crop was agaia destroyed, but states contiguous to New England have produced good crops, and the United States Agricultural Bureau, in its October report of the condition of the crops of the country for 1883, says that the potaio crops is better than in any year since 1875, and the prospect was favorable for « large yield. From the present outlook, a brisk demand for our potatoes is not probable.
The authority given above also states that the wheat crop of the United States will reach an aggregate of 420,000,000 bashels, a quantity far in excess of that which they can sell or consume in a single year. This enormous yield, to- gether with the surplus of wheat from the crop of 1882, iusures a year of cheap bread. Flour will probably rule lower than it has for a couple of months past.
The Indian Corn crop is also given at 1,600,000,000 bushels. This crop is of Immense consequence to the United States, not only for feeding purposes, but because immense quantities are con- sumed as food by the people, and thus largely supplements the wheat crop.
The oat crop for 1883 is the largest ever grown and is given at 500,000,000 bushels. The barley crop is also the largest ever grown in the United States, giving a larger average yield than ever before, and is placed at 50,000,000 bushels.
The accuracy of the Agricultural Bur- €su reports is uot questioved, as the Bureau is under Government control, and is possessed of superior facilities for gatherivg statistics and information gen- erally about the crops of the country.

Popular Vices.
— Speaking of the influence of race on certain popular vices, Prof. Wheeler says:—‘‘In fact the comparative ex- emption ofthe so-called Latin people of Southern Europe—Latin only because they speak dialects of Latin--is a very remarkeble one, and needs better ex- placations than wehave.

New Llionors for Canada.
A letter received by the Hon. « W. | MeLelan, Minister of Marive and Fish- eries, from the Secretary of the Canadian fisheries commission, states that Canada | has been asked to take part in the lord | mayor’s procession, which takes place in London on the 9th of November. The |authorities desire to add a new feature {to the procession this year by giving | promivence to the colonies. India has ;consented to co-operate. Canada has |also agreed, on the condition that she shall occupy a couspicuous place. This has been conceded, and in addition to a grand fish trophy, the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. will have a vebicle tasteful- ly decorated with the products of Canadian soil.
a
Home Ruie in Canada.
A special cablegram, received in Toronto, gives extracts from an article written by the Marquis of Lorne and published in the Contemporary Review, on Home Rule in Canada. The article in question was writ- ten by Lord Lorne in compliance with a request to furnish notes suggestive of steps that might be taken to meet a demand for ireland, or to provide information having a bearing upon the future of Australasia. The Marquis discusses the chief features of the Federal Government of Canada, indicates the individual rights reserved to different Provinces and dwells upon the danger which must arize should one member of the con- federation become strong enough to oppose the will of the central government, He declares that shoul@ a provincial feeling be developed stronger than a feeling of loyalty te the general government, the American civil war may be repeated in Canada. The equality of strength among various mem- bers of the confederation would be the best guarantee against this. The conclusion drawn is that the experience of the United States shows that while purely local mat- ters may be left tothe control of local assemblies, it is all important that no prov- ince should be organized in such strength as to be able to formulate a policy leading to a conflict with the rest of the country.

Have you eked your Physician about it?
“Yes” Well, what did he say? ‘‘That it is only another of the thousand-and-one medical humbugs.” Is ho helping you? ‘‘No.” Losing ground steadily? ‘‘I’m afraid so.”’ Notas well this year as ijast ? ‘*Very much worse.” Then take a friend’s advice, and write to Drs. Starkey & Palen, ‘of 1109 Girard Street, Philadelphia, giv- ing them a plain statement of your case. Ask them if they have ever treated 4 simi- lar case with their Compound Oxygen, and if, in their judgment, there is hope of your deriving any real and permanent benefit from its use, Ask them also so send you a report of some cases like yours which they have treated so successfully. All this wall cost you nothing, as these physicians make no charge for consultations. if the evidence they furnish is not satisfac tory, then the matter can end, but if they should put you in possession of facts and evidence going to show that thousands of persons sufferiug from chronic diseases far worre, it may be, than yours, have been re- stoi. d & comparative good health during the pest thirteen years by the use of Com- pound Oxygen, the trifling effort of writing may prove the means whereby you will find a permanent relief from suffering, for which you will never cease to be proundly thank- ful.
If, however, you are not ready to consult them at present, drop a postal-card and as/ them to send you their Treatise on Com- pound Oxygen. The information in regard to their new Treatment which you will gain from this Treatise will enable you to judge of the chances in your favor which it offers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, siadacaliilinaalaes
Sir,—A few days ago you gave the pub- lic the experience of some one who sent home a quarter of lamb by a market boy who asked a stranger where the man’s house was, and the said stranger being of a kindly disposition, told the boy he was just going to the man’s house, and would leave the lamb there, but—he forgot to leave it. My experience has been that some four or five weeks ago, on a market day, I bought a bag of potatoes off a fat, honest-looking woman, paid for them, and as she kindly undertook to leave them at the house, I took advantage of a cheap truckage, and bought two quarters of very fine lamb, and put them in her cart to leave with the potatoer. I. have never tasted the lamb or potatoes. I have no doubt the fat, honest soul enjoyed her Sunday's dinner; and, perhaps, enjoyed the joke as well. I did not know the name of the fat, honest woman; bet she will be found yet, as the police keep a look out for her—her horse and cart were on the east side of the market stand a brewn horse, and blue cart.
