The Latest Political Report.

The country is quiet, busy, thriving, contented. But this **situation’”’ doesn’t suit the politicians of the Opposition stripe. They are eager for diversion—a sensation, «n agitation—anything to dis- turb the harmony and prosperity evident en every hand. So they have started the cry that there is to be a general election for the Dominion next spring. Au elec- tion at that time is, however, the last thing they desire. They know full well that the result would be overwhelmingly fatal to them; andthey declaim agaivrt the very idea of such a thing. Well knowing that the Govervment of Canada will uot dissolve the pre- seut farliawnent before the expiry of its term, except tor sound rea- sons of State, they feel tolerably eafe in taking this course.

The repori of a general election is a grand foundation for political agitation. The report will not likely prove true. Therefore the Opposition politicians spread it abroad, and protest vehemeutly against “such an outrage.” This may be good policy. Something may come of it, and the Opposition are just now anxiously waiting ‘for something to turo up.”

The Visit of

_ 2+ ae + =

the Minister of Hail- ways. Tue visit of the Minister of Railways will not be without its good practical

resulis. it is the Minister who gives tose to the Department. If he is active, energetic, able, and cour-

courteous withal, the various members of the service in which he is engaged will, perhaps gradually and insensibly, but surely, be imbued with the same spirit and the same characteristics. The visit of Sir Charles Tupper to this Island, and the personal, active, careful interest he has shown, cannot, therefore, fai] to have a good effect upon his railway ofli- cials here. At Souris, Sir Charles took advantage of the opportunity which was afforded to remark ia fitting terms upon the excellent condition of the road and to give the credit they deserve to the

superintendent, the trackmasters and the secticn foremen. Nor did he fail to make a note of the diffi- culties and drawbacks which have

prevented Mr. Stronach from having the reiling stock in an equally efficient state. From the first Mr. Stronach was hamper- ed by the little Eoylish engiues, which were never up to the requirements of the traffic aud required constaat doctoring. The new locomotives obtained last year have proved, instead of a relief. a con- stant drawback. This year there was anunavoidable delay in obtaining the locomotives, for the supply of which ten- ders were called early in the year.

Meanwhile the traffic was constantly increasing; and the demands up- on the rolling stock were, of course, correspondingly large.

Altogether Mr. Stronach has had an arduous and troublesome duty to per- form ; aud, we dare say, he will not be sorry that he has been transferred to a more congenital office in Winnipeg. Mr. Unsworth, his successor, has,arrived,with instructions to prosecute the repairs needed with the utmost possible dispatch ; and we have no doubt that, with the assistance of additional machinists, he will, ere long, raise the quality of the rolling stock to the standard required by Sir Charles and the public. ee The Bell Telephone.

Tuomas Hanperson, Esq , represent- ing the Bell Telephone Company, of Canada, is in this city, with a view to the introduction of a Telephone Ex- chanoe, such as they have in St. John, Halifax and. indeed, in almost every city in Ameria. We learn that Mr. Hender- son is prepared to do business here if twenty-five offices can be established. There should be nv difficulty in this. The City Government should have a brauch at the police station, so that alarms of disturbances, burglaries, fires, etc., may be instantly given by those in possession of telephonic communica- tion. The leading hotels will, doubtless, join in the Telephovie Exchange, and our leading merecsants will almost cer- tainly do so, too. The Bell Telephone is one of the most wonderful and useful of the inventions of this age.

The Chinese still continue to make their way intothe United States, and notwith- standing the opposition of those who des- pise them as heathen and hate them as rivals and uwndersellers of labour, they manage to thrive and even to enjoy them- selves in their way among the ‘‘ Melican men.” During the second quarter of the current year, that is, from the 1st of April to the 30th June, no less than 7,048 Mon- golian immigrants arrived at various ports of the Republic Among them were eight women and one child.

What Archbishop McHale Saw

During His 90 Years of Life.

During his life of 90 years Archbishop McHale had seen with his ewn eyes the rebellion ef 98, the landing of the French treeps under General Humbert in Killala Bay, the capture by them ef Ballina, their march to Oastlebar, and the ignominous end of the expedition. He the reigns of seven Popes, one of whom had been a prisoner under Napeleon I., another of whom had fled for safety to the Castle of St. Angelo in the Eternal City, another of whom had been propped p in his throne by French bayonets, and 2 last dispossessed of his power by Victor Emmantnel. He was alive during two French Revolutions, the reigns ef two Napoleons, and that of the Com- mane. He had seen the United States de- clared independent. He had lived to see tmmett swung en the gallowa, the triumph of Cathelic Emancipation, the downfail of the Establishment, and the passing of the Land Act, to say nothing of the thous- and and one greater and less eventa which now go to make up the history of the world. -—(lobe,

Sao Western Items. (From the Summerside Journal.)

James W. Richards, Esq., M. P. P., has jast returned from Quebec and the Upper Provinces, where he has been for the last few days.

The vessels loading at this port are Capt, Win. Richards’ three-masted schooner tak- ing in black oats, the brigt. Bohemia with white oats, and three schooners with pota- toes for R. T. Holman, and a schoener with oats for Sinclair, Minto & Stewart. The shipments from this port this season are larger than ever.

The Summersids snow-shoe club met in the ottice of the Merchants’ Bank on Wed- nesday evening last, and appointed ofticers for the ensuing year, viz: President, Thos. H. Robblee; Vice-President, W. A. Bren- nan; Secretary and Treasurer, H J. Maesey; Committee of Management, W MeNeiil, J. W. MoLeod, H. Graves, Arch’d Ramsay, and Frank Ellis. The committee of man- agement were instructed to have a elub room in readiness by December 14th, when the first regular meeting of the club will take place.

ou Landlord Destitution.

The Toronto ‘‘ Globe’s”’ special corres- pondent says :—Many Irish landlords are now in a state of actual want, owing te the non-receipt of their incomes. There is net a county in [reland where the landlords have not had to borrow largely to supply the deficiency. I recall one case of special hardship. A widow lady living with her daughter has a jointure of £300 a year from the estate owned by hor son, the whole rental of which is £1,000. Buring the last twe years the rent received has only been £70, forty of which the widow received. Theson hal to borrow money on the estate. and his mother was compel'ed to give up her residence and take a small house, and is living ona little ready money that her daughter had in the funda, which will seon be exhausted. 1 know another landlord whose rental is £1,600, who kept a good house in one of the midland counties of Ireland, who was very glad to gat £5 to pay his two remaining servants. These are typical of hundreds of cases, many large land owners being reduced to great straits.

The necessity for literary culture is wide- ly felt. There is scarcely @ village or school section in Canada in which there are not afew peeple who haves a longing for the establishment of a Mutual Improvement Society of some sort in their nieghborhoed during the winter months.

An interesting experiment has been tried by the Hudson Bay Company. Last year the company purchased the steamer Diana, of about 20@ tens, and had her fitted by the *ll-Coleman Mechanical Refrigerating C mpany, of Glasgow, with a refrigerator, an the vessel has takea from Labrader fully thirty tons of salmon in a frozen state. Specimen fish have been presented to Her Majesty, the Priace ef Wales, and other persons of distinction, who have expressed favorable opinion upon thse quality of the salmon after being thawed in cold water.

At Portugal Cove a monster Octepus or Devil Fish ran ashore near the mail steamers’ wharf, and was eaptured by fishermen. It is thirty-three feet long from the tail to the terniination of the long tentacles. This is the G&rat fresh, complete, unmutilated specimen secured and landed of this monstrous fish.

A female physician in China, Miss How- ard, having cured the wife of a Viceroy, whose life had been despaired of by the native docters, has raised the reputation of Nuropean remedies so much that she has been able te secure the opening of two hospitals for the treatment of the sick on the principle of modern pharmscy.

It is stated by the Chicago Tridune that there are nearly four hundred ef them in active practice in the United States, the majority of them being in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. The rapid growth of their number is proof that they find employment and enjoy a fairshare of the public con- hdence. There may be as many wewen as menin the healing profession in a few years.
