We regret to learn from our despatches to- day of the loss of the Boston and Savannah line steamer ‘‘City of Columbus.” She was commanded by Captain S. E. Wright, who, np to the spring of 1882, commanded the steamer ‘‘Carroll.’’ A number of P. E, Island- ers were among the crew. It is to be hoped the loss of life is not so great as reported.

“Oonvicr LABOR in England and the col- onies is,” says Chamber's Journal, ‘‘remuner- ative to the extent of eighteen thousand pounds, and county courts pay the exchequer halfa million; while the value of the old pre- cept, ‘Waste not, want not,’ is exemplified by the fact that the Stationery Office saves the country, by the sale of waste paper alone, the sum of eleven thousand pounds !”

Personat.—The Rev. A. A. McKenzie, M. A., B.

He has consented to officiate in St. James’ Church in this city om Sabbath, to-morrow, morning. It is gratifying to find how well Mr. Mc- Kenzies recent prefermeat in the old land justifies the hopes which were entertained respecting him while he labored in this Province.

Curiiaxa.—The matches for the possession of the Nova Scotia Curlers Challenge Cup took place on Thursday and Friday.” Two rinks each from Halifax, Truro, Stellarton, New Glasgow, and Pictou, competed eight rinks (32 players) playing at once. No other rink in the Dominion could give such an ice surface. The winning club holds the cup for this season, not being bound to accept chal- lenges, but, afterw rds, the winner, in order to hold the cup, has to beat and ke-p beating any of these tive clubs who extend a challenge. Are not the sons of the Heather on this Island as enthusiastie Scotchmen as those of Nova

Scotia? Then why cannot a Curling Club be organized in Charlottetown? A meeting was held sometime ago and a committee was ap-

pointed, but nothing has been done. It is a reflection upon the national spirit of Scotch- men in this Province.

SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

Consideration of It Befere The House,

-

| Orrawa, Jan. 18.

The House this afternoon took up the | consideration of His Excellency’s speech. | Mr. McMaster made a practical speech. He | dwelt with the several points in the Speech; he showed that the stream of immigration | during the year had been the largest for | Years. The figures of the cattle trade of |Canada shows the increase of business t»> be prosperous and rapidly developing. He spoke of the rapidity of the settlement ofthe Northwest, and dwelt upon the position of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the wisdom of having the road com- pleted at the earliest possible period. He said he spoke the mind of the country when he said that the road should and would be completed as ‘early as it was possible to do it. i

Mr. Belleau seconded the metion in a graceful speech in French.

Mr. Blake, contrary to the usual plan adopted of late years, made a general criicism of the Government's acts and policy. He objected to the rapid increase in population in the Northwest and to the rapid construction of the Canada Pacific

Railway, he said the Company could not obtain a supply cf labor speedily wthout raising the cost of labors

epeed had done no good to the country, etc. The high tarift policy had proved a failure. The policy of the Government was one of extravagance. He attacked the License Act, and dwelt upon the short crops, the overtrading, the series of bankruptcies and the want of foresight shown by the Gov- ernment in not referring to the Washington Treaty. His remarks were characterized by the good-humored badinage style he adopted

Sir John, who was in excellent trim, spoke for about three-quarters of an hour, handling Mr. Bike with great, skil!. “He said the leader of the Opposition bad ap- peared inanew role, that of the smiling hum rist, inetead of the severe mentor and prophet of former times. He (Sir John) could not understand it at first, but as Mr. Blake went on he saw it all. He (Blake) was tickled a little over the short crop, he became radiant about the overtrading, he re- joiced with great joy when he reached the bankruptcies of the country, and was almost beside himself with joviality when

descanting upon the ifficulties of the Canada Pacific Railway. It was evident that the greater the

troubles of the country the more the Opposition rejoiced. Sir John pointed out that Blake’s allusion to the Washington Treaty was.# sad one. It illustrated so fully the character of the Opposition. To-day they were lamenting that the Government were not looking after the renewal of the fishery provisions; a few years ago they fdeclared that he (Sir John) was @ <raitor and the Washing- ton Treaty a surrender. Then after. wards they granted the money and made one of themselves a Knight in honor of the same treaty. It was this shifting course which they displayed in everything. Blake had said that railway construction should not pgede population, What he asked had happened in the North- west The railway going ahead of population had tapped the great coal fields and had thus supplied the population with cheap coals. He said the opposition were were making tco ~ much altogether of the temporary depression and he could safely predict it woald only be temporary.

The House adjourned at 10 p. m. after passing the answer to the address.

Steamer Wrecked —Great Loss of Life.

New .Beprorp, Mass., Jan. 18.

The steamer ‘‘City of Columbus,” of the Savannah Line, which left Boston at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, is ashore on the Devil’s Bridge, Gay head, and is fast breaking up. The revenue cutter “Dexter” has landed seventeen persons, and four dead bodies, but as the boats of the steamer swamped it is thought, there is no doubt but that the rest of the passengers and crew, numbering some 120 are lost.

An Alleged Cure for Hydrophobia.

So many infallible cures for hydrophobia have been invented from time to time that one feels rather sceptical as to their efficacy; but a statement which appears in a French paper of some standing (ihe Journal d’ Agriculture), seems worth repeating under cover of its authority. This statement is to the effect that the son of a Portuguese peasant was,some time ago, bitten by a mad dog, and that his parents, in order to avoid the distressing sight of his paroxysms, shut him up in a store-room, which ‘happened to contain a quantity of garlic. In his frenzy, he erun the garlic cloves into small piecer, chewing them, and then spitting them out of his mouth. The effect was almost as rapid as it was marvel- lous; for in an hour’s time he became quite calm, and was ultimately cured. This fact having been bronght to the notice of an Oporto physician, Dr. Pereira Dias, the latter determined to try what he.could do with garlic, and he experimented with it upon five out of nine persons who had been bitten by mad dogs. All five were cured; but the four others, whose wounds had been cauterised, all died. Dr. Pereira Dias having washed the wounds with cold water, coyered them with powdered garlic, which was allowed to remain over the wound fora short. time, The patient was also made to drink a decoction of garlic aud water every day for a week, and to eat each morning two cloves of garlic upon a slice of bread. The remedy is not a difficult one, and it might be worth trying. -<~“—4ne- —

Sagacity of a Horse.

A few weeks ago a circumstance oc- curred at Springville, N.S, which proves the wonderful sagacity of the horse, Mr. Laughlan MeLean, of Lime Brook, East River, Pictou, owns a black pony, aamed “Billy,” who,{ on being put out of his stable one morning while the ground was very slippery, could not keep his feet, as he was slip-shod. The animal, after several aitempts to move round without slip- ping, sterted ata full run down the road towards Springville,a distance of a mile anda half, where a blacksmith resided. While on his way, he over- took and passed a man on _-horse- back going to the blacksmith’s shop.

Afler passing he fell on his side, and, jumping up hurried on until he reached the shope On

entering he held up his foot to the blacksmith, indicating that-he wished tobeshod. The blacksmith, Mr,MeDonald observing the action of the herse, said, “Wall Billy, you deserve to be shod, and I'll shoe you if I never get paid for i,’ and atonce setto werk. When finished the pony started for home ap- parently sati .dand returned to his stable witheatgelay. The foregoing facts can be verified by the persons whose names are given above-—Cum. to
