k,—I have very frequently thought of #, Island and the many old friends that thete reside as the inacuths have been going by since | Jast wrote. . But there has been so little to tell--no blizzard, uo railway tr blocked with snow, nobody frozen, everything going along in such a quiet, con- tenfed way —that the pen of your corres- pormnt lay idle. ji3ut a change has come; thewmild winter hasearly yielded to a splen- didyspring, and here on the 25th March thousands of acres are already seeded. The land is in splendid condition. Agricultural

2 awa, Since then train load after train load has arrived—men, women and children, cup and pans, bag and baggage, c , cupboards and tables, horses, cows and.pigs, hens, geese and turkeys. These M@@he settlers that have come to stay. No Wabi speculation in this move, for most of them have seen’ the land before. Last year the wailroad people arranged for cheap ex- eursions from Ontario, and hundreds tovk advantage of the opportunity to eume out wud see this land and its inhabitants. One we@k’s stay here, and all the old sturies th@t have been retailed and detailed about the frozen ears and the frost-cracked ket- thegon a red hot stove were so heavily dis- coUbted that in some instances land was purebased at once, and others returned east to sell out as fast as possible, and get here, So A$ to gel a crop in this spring.
t the railroads did more than that. They organized cheap excursions to On- tative, and many that have been out bere for years went back to see old friends, and this did more to open the eyes of people east than the other excursions. To hear from the lips of men whe have been years in the country, plain and unvarnished statements of their own successes, has in- duced many whe lave large families to settle tu come here at once.
I should like very much to see a nicely arranged excursion for the Maritime Pro- vinces this summer, for I think that many of the people on your snug little Island would like the opportunity of seeing this grand country; and I am sure that the hundreds of young people that annualiy go ifrem your shores to the United States to |work fur other people, if they only knew ‘how easily they could get homes of their ‘own here, and in a few years be independ- ent, would prefer, if they must leave home, this land. Among those who have lands to | oifer to actual settlers, perhaps there are i nofie"that-cande.detter than the Manitoba
& Northwestern Railway Co. Neepawa is |situated on their line, and I have beea over jimost of their road, and in the interest of an lold friend in New Brunswick, I am going {next month to Saltzoats, the present ter- jiminus, to look at land for him. This road ‘has, in Winnipeg, a Land Office where they j have maps so nicely arranged, and full in- formation so easily accessible, that a man may learn more in an hour than he would ina week's travel. And then they give him so many years on the instalment plan to pay for land, that it comes easy, and they are not likely to increase the prive, as the large immigration is inducing private parties todo. Now, Mr. Editor, I am no laud agent as you very well know, and I have no personal interest to serve, but I am a loyal Canadian, and when I can induce | people for their good to make their homes {under the old flay, in a fertile country, in good moral and religious surroundings,

Nef. rolled aut on our platform at

Notes from the Capital.
Sin,—The writer, in moments of rest, is often carried back in memory to his Island home, its people and its scenes of former years; and, seeing by the Island papers, that there is no regular correspondent in the Capital at present, I hazard a few hurried items in the hope that your readers may learn of the doings here—the favored spot of Canada.
Many Islanders struck the capital since parliament was convened. The latest was
few days, whilst rendering special pro- fessional aid to Senator Howlan, who has been very ill for five weeks.
Apart froma series of questions, a few
liament, with a lively breeze on the loan
negotiated last June, there is no- thing exciting in the Commons.

sands of anxious listeners, as the carrying of the unjust resolution meant the defeat of the Government, moved as it was when the House was going into supply. Hundreds of ill-advised delegates from all parts of Ontario were assembled, fuil of the false faith and foolish hope that a few non-con- tents in Ontario could prevent the Jesuits’ Estates Bill from taking effect in the Pro- vince of Quebec. But the simple few who thought they could form a third part found themselves with but thirieen supporters in the Commons against one hundred and eighty-eight, composed of the leaders of beth parties. Hence the silence, since, among the religious firebrands who were making such a ‘‘ noise about a little piece of pork.” Such was the apt and fitting
comparison made by Sir John A, Macdonald
CHARLOYLETOWN, P. E. ISLAND, MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1889.
Dr. J. T. Jenkins, who was delayed here a’ stray notes, &c., across the floor of par-!
Anti-Jesuit resolution all was rush and ex- | For three days and as many. nights every possible spot available in the: Commons galleries was taken up by thou- |
in his great speech given on that ever nem-
orable occasion. - 3 On Tuesday, the 9th inst., it was the writer's privilege, at 7 a. m, to
join 116 specially appointed de-egates at the Union Depot, C. P. R., to proceed
via special coaches on the regular train, ;
provided to Montreal to form an escort and | retura by special train with His Grace
Archbishop Duhamel, of the diocese of
Ottawa, who has returned from the Eternal
City after an absence of six months.
The run down was made in four hours. | The day was fine, the delegates good | humored, and all enjoying the cheer and | charms afforded. Here let me say a finer crowd never before was carried over that lovely and picturesque route via the banks of the Ottawa. One elderly gentleman, viz. : M. O, Farrell, Esq., chief caretaker | in the Geological Museum here, related many exploits of his early life, whena comrade and special friend of Daniel O'Connell, with whom he (M. O. F.,) identitied himself from A. D. 1829 to 1836, to the writer. The stories related were most interesting. The different pvints | of interest saiong the historic banks of the’ Ottawa on this route were all pointed out | and commented on by eye-witnesses to the}
wild scenes that eccurred here dur- ing the rebellions of 1837. At | Pappinauville, many reics of that)
war are to be seen, Among others is an old | cannon which was the property of the then | rebels, headed in this place by Pappinau: and others. Yes, the old stone house,
(called Pappinau's castle) is yet standing ! by the river. The cannon here referred to | was made to do service on this occasion; a ; salute was fred loud and shrill from its} ancient mouth. On the return trip, ample | time was at our inquisitive disposal to learn
of the place and people. An address was here presen ed to His Grace by the people,
read by the Mayor. The whole grounds were decorated with every conceivable
species of buating, flowers, &c. I noticed
a very stately old gentleman, who took part in the oration. He was # remaining brother of the leader Pappinau of 1837. Some very interesting tales were related when passing St. Ann’s, the firet town of note west of the Junction, a confluence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. It was here at this spot that Moore composed his famous Canadian boat song,
‘* Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast.”
On arrival of special at Ottawa, our list of additional delegates, mostly composed of clergymen, had tmncreased to over 200, who. with His Grace, stepped out and into special cabs provided. Ilramedi- ately on getting out, the procession was formed and composed ef some sixteen dif-

It is esti- mated that 30,000 people were on the move duriag the whole day and evening. Everything passed off serenely. The heaveus and people joined in making the oration a grand one, without an accident or jar, or even the remotest appearance of ** Scott Act” indulgence.
One of the leading delegates was the ~Hon. R. W. Scott, the author of the now ** dead act,” viz : the Scott Act, which is ;meeting the fate 1 predicted for it some three years ago, in Prince County during the then election for and against that ‘**act,” that is now being repealed by many counties in Ontario, yea, even by Carleton County, always known as the Banner County, where the truly temperance men, together with the true temperance adyo- cates have consigned the useless thing to ‘its long home from whence it cannot rise. ‘Such is the verdict pronounced by the people of the more advanced and larger province in Canada, and the fate predicted for the Act by yours truly,
