Canadian Consols.
Is it not about time that Canadian con-
sols were issued, so that surplus Canadian monies can be safely invested at home, and that the debt of Canada may, as far as possible, be taken up by Canadians? The amounts here after deposited in Bank to $300, will prevent our people from invest the

The interest paid on account of the pro- posed Canadian consols would of course be low, so that money required for the legiti- mate purposes of ,manufactures and com- merce would be as readily available as heretofore. It is not probable that the profits of chartered banks would be mater- ially affected by the adoption of this sug-
gestion.

—Tue Examiner had a call this morning from Messrs. Jonah and Sargent, the En- gineers sent by Dominion Government to make a survey on the short line—six and a half miles—tor the proposed Subway be- tween Capes Traverse and Tormentine. The thanks of our people should be given to the Government for its early attention to this important matter, notwithstanding the attempts of our Grit members to decry and belittle the great undertaking.

~ American Notes.
Says the Philadelphia Press: ‘* Don’t run for a train; don’t drink ice water; don't drink fire water; don’t fret; don’t worry and keep a damp cloth under your hat if your head feels the sun, and the heat will do you no harm.”
United States papers sometimes poke fun at the English for making so much of their Royal Family. We undertake, however, to say that the press of the United states makes far more of the President and his household than the English papers do of Queen Victoriaand hers. Take that bitter- ly anti-English journal the Sun, of New York. Ina single number we find it mak- ing three different occasions of speaking of Mrs. Cleaveland. In one place she is iaud- ed as a true American ; in another we are told that she is having some new photo- graphs struck off, showing her in a black silk dinner dress; in the third the proper mode of addressing her is discussed. Every one remembers the shocking glare of pub- licity that was given to everything relating to her marriage. If our friends across the border will reflect a little on these things they will see little reason to taunt the British with the attention they pay to royal personages, an attention which, after all is little more than mere respect requires.
John Hoey, a young man of Michigan, has just received a cheque for $200 from P. H. Cassidy, auditor of the New York, Woodhaven & Rockaway railroad, under somewhat peculier circumstances. Hoey sent in a bill of expenditure for ice cream, buggy rides, dinners, etc., during his court- ship of Margaret Semars, an accomplished young lady, who has just been married to Mr. Cassidy. Hvey intended forbidding the marriage and talked of a breach of pro- mise suit against the young lady, but being advised that he had no legal claim upon her he made out the bill as above stated and sent it to her on the day of her wed- ding. As soon as Mr. Cassidy heard of the matter he sent his cheque for the amount, which Hovy accepted asa slight balm for his lost love.

Wedding Bells.
We chronicle, with great pleasure, the event which took place this morning in St. Paul's Church, when Dr. Warburton and Miss L. M. Hobkirk were united in mar- riage. Early though the hour was, the popularity of the Doctor and his bride brought many of their friends to the church to see the tying of the knot. The cere- mony was performed by Rey. C. O'Meara, Rector of St. Paul's, assisted by Rev. James Simpson, of St. Peter's Church. Owing to illness in the bride’s family, the wedding was quiet. We wish Mr. Warburton much hapiness, and feel sure that the auspicious event of to-day is the precursor of many happy days.

Finances of Canada.
Tur Canada Gazette of the 10th contains, contrary to custom, the statements of revenue and expenditure for the month of June and of the debt on 30th June. It has been usual to hold back the June statement until the books of the depart- ment are finally closed for the fiscal year and then publish the result of the year; but, on account of the resolution adopted in the Commons last session, it has been decided to publish the June figures now, ind asupplementary statement in Septem- ber after the books are finally closed. It must, therefore, be borne in mind that the figures given below will be considerably al- tered by the final statement; the present surplus will be reduced and the net debt correspondingly increased:

This shows an increase of $1,867,650 during the year, which will be incrersed when the total figures are made up.
THE YEAR'S EXPENDITURE.
The expenditure on capital account for
tie year has been :—

The expenditure on capital account last year was $9,177,649. Taken altogether the statements so far are satisfactory. They show that after all the accounts of the year are settled there will probably be a small surplus on account of consolidated fund, that the net increase to the public debt will be trifling compared to the $26,751,415 last year, and that this increase will be greatly exceeded by the amounts spent on capital account.

Nort far from our western metropolis there resides a well known clerical gentleman, noted for his hospitality and ready wit. A few days since he gave an order to one of the local mer- chant tailors for a new suit of clothes. After leaving his measure he asked the gentleman of the goose when they would be finished. The terms were agreed upon. His reverence in departing said: ‘‘ Now, if you are not up to time with this drapery, I'll turn you into a rooster. You know that we can doit.” The day eame round, and his reverence called again, when the merchant tailor was full of apologies. His cutter had been ill, &c., and the clothes were not ready. ‘‘And I suppose, now, you willturn me into a monkey?” The reply was: ‘* Well, yes, I think that will do. It will be easier than to turn you into a roost- er, as I will only have to put on the tail.”
A Ritva.istic cask is being tried in Fred- ericton. The plaintifl, Mr. Geo. J. Bliss, alleges that changes have been made in the services at Christ Church for [the purpose of restoring the form of worship which existed before: the reformation, and that the defend- ants had permitted it to be preached that there is no salvation outside the Church of England. The rector, in reply, denies that the changes complained of are contrary to either the usages of the church or the laws of the land. He also submitted the affidavit of His Honor Chief Justice Allen, who stated that he has been a regular attendant at the morning services in the church since the in- duction of the present rector, and he never hearn him or, to the best of his recollection, any other clergyman preach in the church any such doctrine as that stated in the bill. Judge Palmer said that he desired to inform everybody that if the parties desired to have his decision for the purpose of affecting the status of any individual in the church that he | would not entertain the suit for a moment, but if trust moneys were being used for pur- poses other than those intended by the donors, then the court would interfere to see that the trusts were properly executed.
Meeting of Presbytery.
The Presbytery of P. BE. Island met in Zion Church on 12th inst.,4and was constituted by Rev. Wm. R. Frame, Moderator pro tem Sederunt, Revs. James Allen. J. M. MeLeod, Wm. R.

Rev. E. Gillis reported that according to appointment he had preached in the congre- gation of Orwell, and moderated in a call to Rev. D. B. McLeod, late of Quincy, Mass., that the call was cordial, unanimous and en- thusiastic; that it is signed by one hundred and fify, members and by one hundred and ten adherents, and that Messrs. Rose, Camp- bell, James McLeod and John McLeod were appointed as commissioners to prosecute the call before Presbytery. Then commisioners were heard, the conduct of Mr. (illis ap- proved, and the call sustained. The call hav- ing been tendered to Mr. McLeod, was ac- cepted by him. On motion, the induction of Mr. McLeod was appointed to take place in the church at Orwell Head on Thursday, 28th inst., at 11 o'clock a. m., the Moderator to preside, Rev. J. M.

The Jubilee.
FROM HER MAJESTY QUEEN
VICTORIA.
A LETTER
A supplement to the Loudon Gazette con- tains the following letter from the Queen, received by the Secretary for State for the Home Department:—
‘*Winpsor CASTLE, June 24, 1887.
‘‘T am anxious to express to my people my warm thanks for the kind, and more than kind, reception I met with on going to and returning from Westminster Abbey with all my children and grandchildren. The enthu- siastic reception I met with there, as well as on all these eventful days, in London as _ well as in Windsor, on the occasion of my Jubilee, has touched me most deeply. It has shown that the labor and anxiety of fifty long years, twenty-two of which I spent in unclouded happiness, shared and cheered by my beloved husband, while an equal number were full of sorrow and trials borne without his sheltering arm and wise help, have been appreciated by my people.
‘* This feeling and the sense of duty towards my dear country and subjects who are so in- separably bound up with my life, will encour- age me in my task—often a very difficult and arduous,one— during the remainder of my life. The wonderful order preserved on this occa- sion, and the good behaviour of the enormous multitudes assembled merit my highest ad- miration. That God may protect and abun- dantly bless my country is my fervent prayer.
*‘ Vicroria R. anv I.”

Excommunicated.
FATHER MCGLYNN CUT OFF FROM THE CHURCH.
REV.
The Catholic News of the 10th inst., con- trined the following and it was stated that it would be read in the churches—but it wasn’t :—
“* Official "—To the very reverend clergy and the faithful laity of the archdiocese of New York :
Be it known that on the 4th day of May, 1887, the sacred congregation of the propo- ganda admonished the Rev. Dr. Edward Me- Glynn, late rector of St. Stephen’s Church in this city, that he had already rendered him- self liable to ecclesiastical censure by disobey- ing the positive command of the sovereign pontiff, given Jan. 17. Wishing, however, to deal leniently with him, the sacred congre- gation, refraining from inflicting censure, and offering him further opportunity to be heard in his own behalf, gave him a final and _per- emptory orde to present himself in Rome within forty days from the receipt of the letter containing such order, under pain of ex- communication, to be incurred ipsofacto et nominatim.
This letter was duly delivered to Rev. Dr. McGlynn and as he allowed the days of grace to pass unheeded it became our sad duty to notify him that he had incurred, by his own act, this penalty of excommunication by name, whereby he is cut off from the com- munion of the church, from its sacraments and participation in its prayers, and, should he continue in his contumacy, be deprived of the rights after death, to Christian burial. It has become also our duty to declare to the clergy and laity of our charge, which we do by hen letters, that the Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn is excommunicated nominatim, with all the penalties attached to this censure by the penalties of the church.
