x -Edueation in Agriculture.

‘Tur Breeders’ Gazette, of Chicago, discusses the question of ‘‘agriculture in the schools” and argues that if a proper appreciation of the magnitude and dignity of the .agri- cultural industry be constantly preseat with

_ those in charge of the administration of the

country-and the schools there need be no difficulty in.carrying on a course of instruc- tion which will fully meet the demands of the situation. The prime consideration, it

says, is the employment of com- petent men as teachers. Moreover, there mast not be a _ surplusage of seiantific specialization. That’ the

natural sciences are related directly to the life-work of the ‘ agriculturist goes without saying; that the main object of an agricul- tural education may be completely lost in the mazes of technical scientific instruction is equally true. There is that golden mean, that balance betwixt the practical and the scientific which should be the ob- ject sought in the preparation of ,every scheme of instruction for a farmer’s*échool, and happy is the institution which can find it and pursue it under.the direction“of com- petent teachers.

Visit of the Press Association.

The Maritime Press Association will visit Prince Edward Island on Wednesday next, and remain here until the following Mon- day. They will hold a meeting at the Board of Trade room, Charlottetown, on Wednesday evening, and go to Summerside on Thursday. They will enjoy an excur- sion on Bedeque Bay, drives in the vicinity of the town, and be entertained atluncheon by the press of the western capital. Re- turning to Charlottetown on Thursday evening, they will remain in and about Charlottetown on Friday. It,is hoped that they will visit our Trotting and Exhibition Park, Victoria Park and other points worthy of note, perhaps take an excursion upon the river, and attend a dinner to be given in their honor. On Sat- urday, they will visit Souris, and, returning to Chirlot:etown, will leave for their homes on Monday. Should the weather be fine, our visitors will, it is hoped, enjoy themselves, and earry away a favorable im- pression of the Island Province.

Wedding Bells.

At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Mc- Kay, 1 Franklin Place, Malden, Muss., at 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, 20th inst., a double marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Nelson Lewis, pastor of the First Baptist Church, the contracting p11'ies being Herbert ©. Wilson and Ada E, McKav, and Hector M. McKay and Evelyn Longfellow. Miss Ada looked charming, atiired in a p:etty suit of gray, while Miss Evelyn was similarly dressed in brown.. Both brides carried roses. Mr. and Mrs. Wilsonstarted at 8 o'clock for their future home in Charlottetown, P. KE. Is- land, where Mr. Wilson is interested in a dry goods business.

[We clip this notice from the Boston Globe. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson arrived at their home in this city last evening. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs Me- Kay who are making their marriage tour We congratulate them all and wish them prosperity and success. ]

$= - a The Irish Potato Rot.

SOME OF THE PEASANTRY IN FACE OF LITERAL STARVATION,

New Yors, Aug. 20.—The London cor- respondent of the Times telegraphs: The painful certainty that the poorest and most crowded half of Ireland is on the very brink of a famine brought about the only all-night sitting which this session has seen, There is now no doubt that in that ‘whole section.of the unhappy island south of a line drawn diagonally from Waterford across to Sligo the potato crop is the worst since 1879, and, as generally happens in peculiarly impoverished localities, it is al- most a total failure. Literal starvation will have descended upon the more helpless _ of these congested mountain districts before Parliament meets again late in November : yet the Government could think of no better provision for relief than at the last moment to rush in a bill appropriating be- tween $2,000,000 aud $3,C)0,000 for build- ‘ing a series of light railways in various ‘parts of Munster and Connaught I am j besought to-day by representative men from several parta of Ireland to say to , Americans that this famine must bea grim, _terrible reality, and to implore them in the

unfortunate. He has managed to: getzhis! name of their historic charity of heart to

nothing for it-but to back out. The offer

‘to submit thé question to arbitration comes | like @ godsend, and had better be accepted. |

The whole coun- try around where they have settled is re- dueed to extreme poverty, and they hear with chagrin of the booming condition of Manitoba and mourn their :inabilityto come back to Canada this year. ~

—Oardinal Gibbons, in‘an address, of congratulation to the congregation of St. Vincent's Church, Baltimore, last Sunday, used these words: ‘‘ When we find the most upright citizens taking no interest in politics, showing no zeal for the good goy- ernment of the country, we may expect political stagnation and corruption. But when the best citizens manifest interest in

pnts affairs we have good government and | P

onest administration of public trusts. It is the duty of every man to take an active,

_ personal interest in the welfare of his

eountry, and to see that the best citizens are elected to public places.” :

—The Quebec Chronicle says: There is one biography which would make a name for its author. John Boyle O’Reilly’s career was full of incident, adventure and movement. Heembraced‘so much in it, — ‘short as it was,—that .men in every condition of life admire. He was poet, patriot, novelist, man. of letters, journalist, orator, statesmen,. reformer and good citizen. In every’ department, he achieved success. The story of his event- ful life must be written, and the man to do the work is James Jeffrey Roche,—a.. poet himself,—--the assistant editor of the Boston Rilot,—the true ‘friend of the lameénted O'Rielly, and a Canadian to boot.

—The Montréal Witness ‘says that the Indians of the Lake of the Woods, after a careful study of the United States Govern- ment’s position in regard to Behring Sea and the protection of the fur seal, have

ustly concluded that the Lake’ of the oods is a close sea under their jurisdic- tion, and they have lost no time in sending out armed cruisers, who have captured the United States fishermen and have confis- cated their nets and fishing implements and also their catches of fish. So far as we can see, the Indians argument in the favor of the legality of their action is’ the game asthat of Mr. Blaine. There is no international law making a close séason for fishivg in the Lake of the Woods which belongs partly to Canada and partly to the United States, and American fishermen have taken advantage of this state of things to fish out the lake though the ex- istance of the fish is necessary to the wel- fare of the Indians. The Americans did not fish in this lake before 1867 any = more than Canadians took seals in Behring Sea before that date, which shows, according to Mr. Blaine’s sapient argument,” that they have no right to take them~ now. The Indians have applied Behring Sea in- ternational law methods to the Lake of the Woods, and with some success, inasmuch as they did not entrust the prizethey cap- tured, to. prize crew of only one man, but to 9 crew which has so far been able to hold it. sy :

The admirable notice of Cardinal Newman in the Times was written, with the exception of the introductory paragraph, by his brother- in-law, the Rey, Thomas Moziey, author _ of the bright and interesting ‘‘ Reminiscences of Oriel,” in which by far the best account of Newman’s early life is to be found. In the many and lengthened notices of Cardinal Newman's life, little or no remark has been made on his charming old world courtesy, which delighted everyone whom he. was brought in contact with. He was not only excellent in elocution, but a capital talker, and by no means disdained gossip on social topics. Till quite recently he resembled Bishop Wilberforce in answering with his own hand, and that instantly, every letter, but, unlike the scrawly hand of that right reverend prelate, the Cardinal’s writing was especially neat and readable.

University extension has had a very suc- cessful career in England. It has been in force only a few years, and last year there were delivered 3,500 lectures, which were attended by 41,000 students, 4,0C) of whom obtained certificates from Cambridge,. Lon- don or Oxford. University extension offers many of the advantsges of a university training to people who cannot afford ty spend four years within the college walle. Its great object is to give system and diree- tion to reading. The press and the free libraries give the people access to an im- mense storehouse of learning, but without direction their reading is apt to be desul- tory. In this country and the United States a work similar to that done by uni- versity extension is performed by the Chau- tauqua Circle.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Reform Wanted.

S1r;—Is it the intention of the citizens of Charlottetown to submit much longer to the present degraded condition of the liquor traffic? The Scott Act has reduced our people to such a low state of morality

an impossibility. Lawlessness is rampant. Public opinion, that chain of adamant so strong in other countries, is utterly disre- garded by the Scott Act.- This indifference and defiance of a public law like the Scott Act is surely sufficient to arouse all men who have the good of our fair city at heart. An effort should be made to wipe out this unnatural statute. Supineness may su:: those engaged in the unlawful sale «f liquor, but it is criminal on the part of «ll well-meaning citizens. Why this lack of spirit for its repeal, I cannot tell. Surely a continuance of this law is not desirable. Cannot something be done to re-introduce the Hodgson-Shaw Aet, and so regulate the liquor trade that Charlottetown will not be considered the Canteen of Canada ? Crrizen. Aug. 22, 1890.

BEWARE OF THE DOG!

—__—_—— |

R. EDITOR,—That irresponsible con- | cern, known as the Bazaar Co., inform | the public that they are prepared to BITE. | Our people have been too often bitten by such | mongrels, Why do they not publish their names? Customers require « knowledge of those with whom they deal. The ‘‘Company” virtually admit themselves hucksters of old goods from Truro, but think they have the : power to humbug. They pimp around other stores enquiring the prices, in order that they i may know how to mark down their remnants. ' My bona fide sale of FaNcy Goops was con- | fined to » number of slightly faded articles, in a much bett-r condition than the new (?) stock at the rubbish store. For SIXTEEN YEARS we h.ve proven to the satisfaction of the public,

Our Goods New—Our Prices Low,

and the people are not slow in detecting the opposite at the Bazaar Co. Again we say: ** Beware of the Dog!”
