strutting like peacocks. People sitting down in a pew or taking up a hymn book, all absorbed at the same time in personal array, to sing: “Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace ; Rise from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place !”

I adopt the Episcopalian prayer and say: ** Good Lord, deliver us !”

Extravagant costume belittles the intel- lect. Our minds are enlarged or they dwindle just in proportion to the import- ance of the subject on which we constantly dwell. Can you imagine anything more dwarfing to the human intellect than the study of dress} I see men on the street who, judging from their elaboration, I think must have taken two hours to arrange their apparel. After a few years of that kind of absorption which one of McAllia- ter’s magnifying glasses will be powerful enough to make the maa’s character visible, what will be left of a woman’s intellect atter giving years and years to the discussion of such questions? They all land in idiocy. [have seen men at the summer watering places, through fashion, the mere wreck of what they once were, Sallow of cheek, meagre of limb, hollow at the chest, show- ing no animation save in rushing across 4 room to pick ap a lady’s fan. Simpering along the corridors the same compliments they simpered twenty years ago.

Yet, my friends, | have given you only the milder phase of this evil. It shuts a great multitude out of heaven. Tho first peal of thunder that shook Sinai declared : **Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” and you will have to choose between the goddess of fashion and the Christian God. There are a great many seats in heaven, and they are all easy seats, but not one seat for the devotee of costume. Heaven is for meek and quiet spirits. Heaven is for those who think more of their souls than of their bodies, Why ii you with your idolatry of costume should somehow get into heaven, you would be for putting a French roof on the ‘‘ house of maay mansions,” and you would be for in- troducing the patterns of Butterick’s Quar- terly Delineator.

Give ap this idolatry of fashion or give up Heaven. What would you do standing beside the Countess of Huntington, whose joy it was to build chapels for the poor, or with that Christian woman of Boston, who fed fifteen hundred children of the street, at Fanueil Hall, one New Year's Day, giv- ing out asa sort of doxology at the end of the meeting, a pair of shoes to each one of them; or those Docrasses of modern society who have consecrated their needies to the Lord, and who will get eternal reward for every stitch they take? O, men and women, give up the idolatry of costume. Tho rivalries and the competitions of such a life are a stupendous wretchedness. You will always fiad some one with brighter array aud with more palatial residence, and with lavender kid gloves that make a tight- er fit. And if you buy this thing and wear it you will wish you had bought some- thing and worn it. And the frets of such a life will bring the crow’s feet to your temples before they are due, and when you come to die you will have a miserable time,

i have seen men and women of excessive costume die, and I have never saw one of them die well. The trappings olf, there they lay on the tumbled pillow, and there were just two things that bothesed them-— a wasted life and a coming eternity. I could not pacify them, for their body, mind and soul had been exhausted in the worship of costume, and they could not appreciate the Gospel. WhenI knelt by their bed- side they were mumbling out their rezrets aod saying, “Oh God! Oh God!” Their garments hung up in the wardrobe never to be seen by them again. Without any ex- ception, so far as my memory serves me, they died without hope, and went into eternity unprepared. The two most ahastly death-beds on earth ara the one where a man dies of delirium tremens and theother where a woman dies after having saccificed all her faculties of body, mind and soul in the worship of costume.

My friends, ws must appear in judgment to answer for what we have worn on our bodies as weil as for what ropentances we have exercised with our souls. On that day L#ee coming in Beau Brummel of the last century, without his cloak, like which all England got a cloak; and without his cane, like which all England got a cane; without his snuff-box, like which all Eng- land got a enuff-box—he, the fop of the ages, particular about everything but hia morals; and Aaron Burr, without the let- ters that dowa to old age he showed in price, to provo his early wicked gallantries; and Absalom without his hair, and Mar chioness Pompadour without her titles; and Mrs. Arnold, the belle of Wall street, when that was ‘he centre of fashion, with- out her fripperies of vesture

And in great haggardness they shall go away into eternal expatriation; while among the queens of heavenly society will be found Vasht', who wore the modest veil before the pelatial bacchanalians; and

and offers made to the city for the con- struction of waterworks, as well as the transaction of general business. He said that no offers had been made during the last five or six months, but whatever corres- pondence he had on the subjeet was, as he intimated at the last meeting of the Council, at the disposal of the Board. Councillor Morris said the five members who called the meeting were not as had been said by the press, obstructives, but were anxious to know all about this water- works business. There should not be any secrecy in the matter, The people wanted to know from what source the water was to be obtained, and whether or not it would be good for household use as well as fire pur- poses. Any correspondence relating to the matter should be read before the Council. The Mayor remarked that as he had nothing, other than the letters produced at the last meeting, to lay before the Council he could not very welldo so, The gentle- men!whotare here at present from Montreal have not made any offer, but as soon as au offer is made 1 will let the Council know. There is no secrecy at all in the matter. Councillor Kelly asked the Mayor if any member of the Board had asked for corres- pondence since the last meeting. The Mayor said no Councillor had asked for correspondence. Councillor Curtis wanted to know who brought Messrs. Perry and Turnbull here from Montreal. The Mayor saidhe did not. Mr. Perry had been here before on Waterworks busi- ness. He then made an offer which he would like to see carried to a successful termination now. Councillor Curtis was under the impres- sion that according to the Act of Incorpor- ation the company were independent of the Council. If this was the case let them go ahead and bring in water. Councillor Morris asked if any infor- mation had been received from Brooklyn answer to the City Clerk's letier. The Mayor said none had been received; but this evening a letter had been placed in his hands, addressed to H. J. Cundaill, Esq., which might throw some light on the matter. The letter is accompanied by the following interesting remarks from Geo. E. Full, Esq. :— CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E. I., February 19, 1836. Henry BEER, Esy., Mayor.

Str,—The Citizens’ Committee, appointed shortly after the fire in 1884, stated in their report as follows :—‘‘ As giving the largest supply of water, and at the same time being in the opinion of your Committee the cheapest and most effect- ive, and giving little or no trouble to the Fire Department, They recommend the adoption of the scheme contained in the second offer of Messrs, R, H. Buchanan & Co. to bring in the water at their own expense either from Winter River or Gates’ Brook, and distribute it by means of iron pipes throughout the city, on condition that the Corporation agree to take 50 hydrants as described above at $50 each per annum for fire purposes,” ‘The reason why the Committee, after earefal consideration, could not recommend the tube or driven well system, will appear by the enclosed letter which was received Mr. Cun- dail in answer to a note asking for information written at the vegan of the Committee. am

Dear Srtr,—Your favor of March 27th was sent us April 8th, having been enclosed to Scientific American. We enclose pamphlet. Without test- ing it would be quite impossible to quote price of plant. To wd your city with water, $55,000 per million of gallons per diem would probably cover in good location, but would not cover drilling of rock, The same pumping engine that lifts the water would give the pressure needed. Should fear much unevenness of supply in sandstone, and such being the source of supply, would double and probably quadruple the cost of procuring a sup- ply. Have you open wells? What is the average

epth? If water was procurable within three or four miles of your place, without drilling of rock, it would be cheaper to construct conduit from such locality. We would want cash payments fora considerable part of the price of our plant. Any special information we will furnish, or we will send some one to test and show you if soil is favorable, ’and be easy in our charges if you choose to do the work yourselves with a view to economy. We are extremely busy, and may miss some point you particularly desire information upon, If so, please write us again. We mail a testimonial circular. Yours truly,

Tube Well Water Agency, 233 Broadway, N. Y.

Councillor Horne wanted to know where the water is to be brought from, and whe- cher it would be good or not?

The Mayor said he did not know where water would be brought from.

Councillor Cartis thought if all the Councillors were sincere in favor of water vhey should pull together. A resolution was passed giving @ cOmpany power to bring in water, but he thought we should frst seo whether or not it was fit to drink. The Clerk read a petition signed by Dr. McLeod, C. E. Robertson, Jas. Macdonald and others, praying that no water be brought into the city until it has been thoroughly tested and pronounced fit for household use.

Councillor Morris said the gentlemen whose names were attached to the petition were all in favor of waterworks, but were anxious that the water when brought in would be fit for household use. He was informed there was an excellent supply at Woolridge’s, Mount Edward Road, which should be examined. It was near town, and consequently could be brought in cheap.

Clerk read a letter from Sterling & Harris asking permission to sink a drain from the new Post Office building to the shore.—Referred to Street Committee. Councillor Horne moved the following resolution, seconded by Councillor McRae : Whereas, Two members of this Board—Coun-

cillors Crabbe and Haszard—did, during the late smallpox epidemic, furnish supplies to the city contrary to Act of Incorporation; and

Whereas, In the year 1878 Hon. T. H. Haviland, then Recorder of the City, did give it as his opin- ion that no City Councillor could seil to or have any contract with the City, which opinion then necessitated Councillors Morris, Peake, Davy and Measts to and run their elections over again ;

og te Resolved, That our present Recorder, R. R. FitzGe Esq., give us his written opinion whether Councillors Crabbe and Has can legally act as City Councillors.

After an irregular discussion of upwards of an hour, the matter was jocosely passed over.

Councillor MeRae moved a resolution voncerning the lease of Queen’s Wharf.

Councillor Kelly thought the matter important and should stand over till next meeting. —Carried.

Councillor A. A. MeLean said there had already been too much frittering away of valuable time in the matter of waterwork and if any more soch nonsense were carried

Hannah, who annually made a little coat for Samuel at the Temple; and Grand- mother Lois, the ancestress of Timothy, who imitated her virtue; and Mary, who gave Jesus Christ to the world ; and many of you, the wives and mothers and sisters and daughters of the present Christian church who, through great tribulation, are entering Into the kingdom of God. Christ announced who would make up the royal family of heaven, when he said : ‘*Whoso- ever doeth the will of God, the same is my brother, my sister, my mother.’’

Bs os ‘It is one of valuable preparati to the afflicted Ina sadaelen of thirty:

‘on he would resign his seat. If we intend bringing in water weshould set about it at once. A large amount of money is being annually expended for insurance, and sanitary engineers all say pure water is necessary. He would move the following resolution, seconded by Councillor Hagzard:

Resolved, That tenders be called up to 31st of March, 1886, at noon, for the placing and main- taining of sixty frost — hydrants, having a pressure of not less than sixty pounds to the square inch for fire and civic purposes, according to plans and specification to be seen at the City Clerk’s office on and after Saturday next, the 20th inst.

Ho said he did not care whether the gentlemen from Montreal or the city built the works. Ifa contract were let privately to the Montreal men the people here would think we favored them. He thonght the tender plan the equarest, as all should have an equal chance, and said a committee of Councillors should draw up plans.

Councillor Curtis thought we should reason with the cilizens.

Councillor Horne was of the opinion that the Council had nothing to do with tenders.

Councillor Haszard said that every time business was talked the Opposition obstruct- ed. He thought if the Opposition were to lend a hand we would soon have water- works.

Councillor Curtis said the gentle- men from Montreal were fully competent. They have seen and tested the water. All the city was responsible for is the $3,000 for hydrants.

Councillor Haszard said he seconded the resolution in order to meet them on their own grounds, and expected to see it carried unanimously, but no sooner was it brought out, than Horne and Curtis attacked it, so as it seemed useleas to attempt to do any- thing with them, he withdrew as the seconder.

Councillor Kelly then seconded the reso- lution.

Councillor McRae thought we should call for tenders.

Councillor T. A. McLean thought that the opposition was contemptible. When Mr. Gamble was here some years ago Horne and Curtis offered him all the opposition in their power, and he would not tender on that account Councillor Crabbé moved, seconded by Councillor Kelly,—

Resolved, That the Assessors appointed at Jast regular meeting of Council, be instructed to make a return of personal property in the city of Charlottetown, for the year, ending 3ist Dec., 1886, according to law. Carried.

Councillor McLean’s motion was then put and carried on the following division: ~— Ayesa— Morris, Donse, Horne, McRae, A. A. McLean, Kelly, T. A. McLean. Nays-—Curtis, Crabbe, Haszard.

The Waterworks Question. INTERVIEW WITH MR. PERRY — SOME PRAC-

TICAL INFOKMATION — CITIZENS SHOULD

PULL TOGETHER,

In conversation with Mr. Perry, in

reference to the vexed question of water supply, he mentioned that he came here at the request of a syndicate from Montreal, represented by Mr. Turnbull, who is with him, to go into the matter of estimating the probable cost of said supply, but would give no figures. They propose to form a company in which any of our citizens could take stock, and regarding the water he said he was satisfied the company would bring in no water that was in any way objectionable. In the matter of tendering when that point came up, Messrs. R. W. Buchanan, & (o., of Montreal, would figure,and should they be awarded the contract, the city would have a water system for household and fire use, second to no other in the Dominion. In the matter of artesian wells, he says, ‘¢ where no other supply is obtainable, that is the last resource. What Charlottetown requires is good water; I have not had a good wash since I have been here—the water is so hard. My opinion is: Get the citizens to pull on the one rope for the in- terest of themselves ; but when one pulls one way and one another, and neithcr one knows what they are pulling for, you will never succeed.” Mr. Perry has kindly given Tue Ex- aMIrer the following figures, which range as follows from different sized nozzles and pipes, with number of gallons displaved per minute, from practical tests at sixty pounds’ pressure :—A one-inch nozzle will throw, with 200 feet of hose attached to a hydrant esrrying 60poun’s presure,112 feet horizon- tal or 82 feet vertical ; number of galions per minute, 159. A 1} nozzle, with same hose and pressure, 10d feet horizontal, or 74 feet vertical ; gallons per minute, 185. A 1} nozzle will throw, with same hose and pressure, 61 feet vertical, 94 horizontal; gallons per minute, 206. A 12 nozzle will throw, same hose and pressure, 85 feet horizontal or 52 feet vertical, and discharge 226 gallons. A four-inch cast iron pipe, with 60 pounds pressure, wil! displace 648,- 000 galions in twenty-four hours, A six- ich cast iron pipe will displace, at 60 pound pressure, 1,800,000 gallons. An eight-inch cast iron pipe will displace, at 60 pounds pressure, 3,708,000 gallons. A twelve-inch cast iron pipe will displace, at 15 pounds pressure, 5,076,000 gallons. All these figures are in twenty-four hours. Eight hydrants can be used at one time, and good fire service can be had.

Ice Rink Carnival.

In point of numbers participating,in vari- ety and originality of the costumes, the Car- nival last evening fully equalled, if it did not excel any Carnival hitherto given in Charlottetown, and the management ere to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts to afford pleasant recreation to the public. The Rink was fairly well decorat- ed, and fer tho first part of the evening the ice was in perfest condition, though to wards the clore it became rather ‘‘juicy.” About 700 spectators were in attendance and frequent buzzes of admiration might be heard as some specially attractive costume swiftly giided by. Carnivals have been so often deseribed of late, tha it is difficult to find anything new to say about them and we shall not attempt the task. Perhaps the most arduous work of the evening fell to the lot of the jadges who were selected to award the prizes offered by tho manage- ment for the best costumes, Lady’s and Gentleman’s. The judges were Mrs. R. Hunt, Summerside, Mrs. George McLeod, Miss K. Wright, Mr. Charles Minto, Mr. Dustan and Mr. Redmond of this city. After taking ample time for consideration and making a careful survey of the many really good costumes flashing before their notice, the awards wore wade, avd the prizes presented by Mrs. Huut, as follows :

Best Lady's Costume. New Haven Fish Wife— Miss F. H. Longworth. Honorable Mention,

La fille du Regiment—Miss Belle Murray. Vivandiere— Miss Florrie A. Smith. Erin—Miss Helen Mason.

Best Gentleman's Costume. Jack-in-the-Box—J. S. Douli. Honorable Mention.

Courtier, time of Elizabeth—W. R. Anderson. Punch—SsStephen Beer. Judy—C. B. Longworth.

In the accuracy of this award we heartily concur, as we think did most of the specta - tors; and we regret only that the list could not have been extended to include a few more names which we thought deserving, noticeably Fairy (# veritable representa- tion), Electricity, Diana, and Grace Darling.

A large party, some sixty in number, came by train from Sammerside, aod added not a little to the spectacular effect. At eleven o'clock the last strains of the com- bined Charlottetown and Snmmorside Bands were heard, and the Rink became deserted. Bslow is the list of names :—
