THe English papers are making use of the lamentable tragedy which occurred at the Tay as a Warning against bad bridges. The Carle- ton Sentinel utters a very earnest warning in regard to the railway bridge at Woodstock. There is a bridge on the Intercolonial Railroad about five miles out of St. John, that was not originally designed to be permanent (if we remember rightly), and which has often excit- ed the anxieties of t-avellers, that ought to be attended to. The present would be a good time to have the work done. We commend the matter to the Railway authorities.

Ir is thought in some quarters that the change which has taken ploce in the United States, by which only second-class men can be secured for foreign Ministers, will event- ually work a revolution in American diple- macy. ‘The absence of first class men at Lon- don, Paris, Berlin, &c., will necessitate the transaction of all difficult business at Wash- ington. This will in turn require abte British, French and Cerman ambassadors at Washington, and thus the labor, dignity and glory of American diplomacy will become a thing of the past.

Tue Times, ina leading article, on Satur- dar, commenting on the proposed increase in the German army, says: ‘‘What is disturb ing in the matter, is the vivid revelation it affords of the terrible condition of the armed truce in which Earope exists frsm day to day. By wisdom and iirmness statesmen may avert collision of those armed forces, but such an achievement wml need incessant vigilance and patience. At sucha time England ought to hold herself as free as possible from all un- necessary entanglements in order to be able, if necessary, to make herself heard at some critical moment, when the whole course of European histary might be hanging in the balance.

The Skating Rink.

To the Editor of the Hraminer.

Dear Srr,-—In a recent issue of the Exam- INER there appeared a note requesting a meet- ing of those interested in the formation of a new Skating Rink Company. All I haveto sayin reference to this netice is, that the sooner we have a new rink the better ; for the directors of the Citizens’ Skating Rink seem determined to run it into the ground. They

are continually quarrelling and are for ever at

daggers drawn. For instance: Director No. 1 comes down to the Rink and says, ‘‘ Peter, there will be no band to-night ; but the ice fs very good and you will open the Rink from half-past seven to half-past nine, as there is sure to be a number of people who would like to skate. Peter just gets the gas lit and the fires on, when in comes Director No. 2in a state of great excitement. *‘What de you mean by having the Rink open to-night?’ “Oh, Mr. was herefand said to open it.” ‘Well, never mind what he says. Turn the gas out, for we must save the ice for the Car- nival.” So out goes the gas, and there is no knowing how many people are disappointed. This was the case to-night—at least if not the case it was very near it. -Peter was told this afternoon that there was to be skating to-night, but no band, Of course he he told the same story to everyone who asked about it; and, in this way, it was pretty well known all over town. Well, about seven o'clock, word was sent to the Rink to the effect that it must be closed, as they wanted ‘*to keep the ice good for the carnival.” This is a very poor reason to give for closing the rink, as if skating will harm the ice to- night, it stands to reason it will harm it to- morrow night. No,it is not on account of the Carnival, but simply on account of the jealously existing between the directors. One says to open the Rink, and another feels in duty bound to countermand the order, and says, ‘‘close it.” If the shareholders would take the matter in hand and give the whole control of the affair to Dr. Strickland, I am sure the public would have no cause for com- plaint. He is the only one who understands running a rink ; and the others are jealous of him, and so work against him. Another cause for complaint is the uncertainty regarding the band. No oneone ever knows the nights it is to play, and there is always some misunder- standing about it. Hoping that all cause for grumbling will be removed. J remain, Sincerely Yours,

SKATER,

The Louise Club is the title of an organ- ization got up in Kingston by a number of young people, numbering about thirty, who intend to hold parties in their houses every week during the winter. We are inclined to think this a leap year delusion and snare, and are much mistaken if some of the young men connected withit do not see through its operations and be made ac- quainted with another species of club before long.

Detroit Free Press: A gentleman from Canada says that Sir John A. Macdonald, the Premier, always sends a deputation away happy. He will promise to attend to what is wanted, no matter who the petition- er is. If he takes out a little memorandum book that he always carries with him and puts down a note, the matter is always at- tended te ; if he takes no note of it, but promises to do allin his power about the request, the delegation always hears of the subject again.

It is the duty ef every person whe has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No per- son can use it without immediate relief. Three doses wiil relieve any tase, and we eonsider it the duty of all Druggists te re- eommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be teo widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 eents. Regular size 75 eents. For

sate by all Druggists.
