St. Andrew's Celebration.

ae | Somenopy is credited with saying that | the world is governed by sentiment ; and | who knows how much of the suctess of| Scotchmen everywhere is due to keeping | ever green in their memories the virtues | of their sturdy, canny, forefathers? It is certa‘n, at all events, | that Scotchmen, the world over were engaged yesterday in celebrating the feast of their Patron Saint, that Scoitch- men the world over, boasted yesterday

(as only Scotchmen can boast) of the}

virtues of their race; aod that Scoteh-

men the world over hold first-rate places in every domain of human thought and activity! A very good

illustration of a thorough Scotchman’s idea of his “‘ain countrie” is given io the following extract from a sermon read last evening by Alexander MeKinnor, Esq., at the Caledonia Ciub Dinner :

‘Ah, my friesids,”’ exclaimed the preacher, ‘‘what causes have we for graatitude, oh yes, for the deepest graatitade! Look at the place of our babitaation. How graateful should we be that we do not leeve in the far north, oh ne! amid the frost and the snaw, and the cauld and the weet, oh no! where there's a lang day tae half o' the year, oh yes! and a Jang lang nicht the tither, oh yes! that we do not de- pend upon the Aurawry Boreawlis, oh no! that we do not gang shivering aboot in skins, oh no! snoking amang the snaw like mowdi warts, ch no, no! And how graatefal should we be that we do noi leeve in the far south, beneath the equawter, and the sun aye burnin, burnin, where the sky’s het, ab yes! and the yearth s het, and the water's het, and ye're burnt black as a smiddy, ah yes! where there’s teegers, oh yes’ and lions, oh yes! and eroco diles, oh yes! and fearsome beaste growling and girnin at ye among the woads, where the very air is a fever, like the burning breath o a fiery drawgon; that we do not leeve in these places, oh no, no, no, no! But that we leeve in this blessit Island of oors, callit Great Britain, oh yes, yes! and in that pairt of it named Scotland, and in that bit o’ auld Scot- land that looks up at Ben Nevis, oh yee! yes! yes! where's neither frost, nor cauld, nor wund, nor weet, nor hail, nor rain, ner teegers, nor lions, nor burnin suns, nor huricanes, nor— Herea tremendous blast of wind and rain from Ben Nevis blew in the windows of the kirk, and brought the preacher's eloquence to an abrupt conclusion.”

The dinner at “the Osborne” was thoroughly Seotch, in this, that there was an abundance of everything good. But there was no whiskey. Yet, strange to say, there was almost as much non~ sense spoken, and quite as much real merriment round the board as if the “flowing bowl” inspired the feast; while, as for boasting, why, all the whiskey in all the world would not have made it louder, longer or more euthusiastic.

But, withal, there was plenty of good sense in some of the speeches. Mr. Woerden made a few very felicitous re marks on behalf of the great nation whom he worthilyfrepresents in this Pro- vince ; and Mr. Byrne, as President of the Benevolent Irish Society, was quite eloquent. The Hou. A. A. McDonald, in proposing the health of His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, referred to the sad event which has cast a gloom over Government House, and feelingly ex- pressed the regret of the Club and the community ; and the Hon. Donald Fergu- son, in responding to the toast, spoke of the hearty interest shown by His Honor in the success of the Club and in the pros- perity of the Province. The Hon. David Laird responded to the toast of “the land we live’ io,’—of of its imymense extent, wonderful resources and great destiny; and after all his in Canada, said that he had not charmivg spot than P. ye of the best speeches

af was delivered by Mr. F.

in response to the toast to Penis! He referred to the _A Islanders in winning prizes throughout the world iv all the walks of life; referred particularly to the en- comium lately passed upon Island seamen by Captain Maxwell, R. N., and instanced His Grace the Archbishop of Halifax, Captain Robert Fraser, Mr. Robert Harris, R. C. A., Captaiu Davies, R. N., and others, as among those who, bora or bred on the Island, had won high rank in the battle of life.

A. MeNeill, Esq., President o: the Club, spoke for Agriculture and Com- merce: and norged that the Dominion Exhibition should come here next year ; because (1) the Island is the only Prov- ince which competed in Montreal in 1880, aud on their way home the Island stock shown there were taken to St. John and exhibited although no movey prizes were obtainable ; (2) in 1881 the Island com- peted in Halifax, (3) and in 1883 in St. John; and as on three different occasions we had crossed the Straits to attend their different exhibitions, it is but reasonable that the other Provinces | should now send their products to this Island to compete here.

--As before avnounced, Mr. A. B. Warburton will lecture on Monday evening next, in the Y. M. C, A. Hall. This is the second of a course of lectures provided by the Young Men’s Christian Association, which seems to be the only institution Intellectually awake in the whole city. The subject, ‘Scraps from Canadian History,’ is one whtch ought to awaken interest, and the lecturer deserves to be greeted with a fall house for treating of a matter on which there is so much need of enlightment.

We hear that in connection with his pre- sent visit to the metropolis, Sir Alex. Galt -_ ane for a huge block of coal from

CELEBRATION — GRAND CESSION,

ANNIVERSARY TRO-

oo

One hundred years ago yesterday, New York was-evacuated by the British. To- day the anniversary of the event was cele- brated in a style of grandeur and magnifi- cence characteristic of New Yorkers. A procession of 40,000 men started soon after nine o'clock, a m., from Central Park for Bowling Green, which was reached a little after one o'clock, p. m. The route was through Fifth Avenue and Broadway. It was composed of soldiers, sailorr, marines, firemen, veterans, policemen, grand army posts, societies, municipal representatives, Indians, the President of the United States, nine Governors of States and their sats. Fifth Averue and Broasiway contained one Compact mass cf huma.* ity. Fiags, banners, sireamers of flowers were suspended from thousands of buildings, and, notwithstanding a cold, drizzling rainstorm set in at ten o'clock, it did not chill nor dampen the enthusiasm of the multitude. In the first carriage of the procession sat President Arthur, beside him on his left General Grant, then came in carriages Cabinet Ministers, Members of Congress, Gevernors of the original re- volting States, followed by Regulars, National Guard, Fireman, Policeman, ete. From the start President Arthur and Gen- eral Grant were applauded—but faintly; but when Governor Ben Butler, of Mass., appeared, and his peculiar visage was seen, long and loud cheers went up, and _ his ride down 5th Avenue was one continuous ovation. The procession contained some notable organizations.

THE PHILADELPHIA LIGHT HORSE

(escort to President Arthur), was first organized Nov. 17th, 1774, and has always been recruited from the elite of Phila- delphia. It served with Washington in many engagements. This troop wears the antiquated uniform worn at that period. Next to this, on the right of the line was the FOURTH U. 8 ARTILLERY, organized in this city, Jan. 6th, 1776, and had for its first commander, Hon. Alex. Hamilton, first Secretary of State under Washington. It has an eventful history. A carriage owned by Gen. Washington, and drawn by six horses, ,also a fire engine, (Washington 20), used in his day, were prominent amongst the curious things. In the first division of carriages were a num- ber of lineal descendants of Commanders of the revoiution. Of these, two, Guy Carlton, and John Aire Dempsey, are de- scendants of Sir Guy Carlton, British Commander of New York, at the time of the evacuation. UNVBILING WASHINGTON’S STATUE.

At two o'clock, p. m., a statue of Wash- ington, erected on the steps of the sub- Treasury in Wall Street, where he first took the cath of office of President, was unveiled. Dr. Storrs offered up a prayer. Then President Arthur stepped forward, and looking down upon the sea of tpturned faces, said : ‘‘I have come to this historical spot for the purpose of being present at the unveiling of the statue to him who protected and defended the countty. This monument is atestimony of your geneorsity and public spirit.” George William Curtis then delivered an address. Quite a novel féature of the celebration was a ptocession in the harbor of

STEAM VESSELS. of all descriptions, numbering 500, includ- ing war slips, ocean steamers, river steamers, tugs and ferry boats, At ten o'clock, a. m., they started from Bedeve Island (down the harbor) and steamed up North River, then back and up thé East River, blowing whistles, war ships firing a salute, ete. Many English residents of New York take exception to this celebration on the ground that it revives

UNPLEASANT MEMORIES.

This, 1 think, is a mistake. There is nothing in it to offend any subject of Great Britain. Few can be found anywhere, to-day, to defend the tyrannical, mad policy of the ruler who sat upon the Eng- lish throne a century ago. All nationalities joined in the preeession, More anon.

New York, Nov. 26, 1883. 4

Sir,—Having noticed an article in your issue of yesterday in reference to the albums for which our agent. is soliciting orders in this place, we desire to disabuse the public mird of any erroneous impres- sion which the article referred to may con- vey. Our agents are not allowed to take any orders by misrepresentation, for the simple reason that we give our customers six months to pay for any article they choose to purchase from us, in consequence of which it is to our own interest to repre- sent the -goods just as they are. As we have our albums manufaetured im large quantities, expressly for our own trade, we can sell cheaper than ‘any retail firm who supply only a portion of one small city. Moreover, the spring clasp which is on all of our albums, and which will preserve an allum three times as_long as the old style efasy, cannot be had from any other firm, Mr. Chappelle claims the agent tovk ordérs frauduiertly because the subscriber was told thal ‘the same article. could not be bought elsewhere for~Jess than nine dollars; and*yet in the satve issue in which hia letier appears he publishes an advertise- ment stating ‘that he is selling an article at five cents which he has formerly sold at one dollar. Now, Mr. Chappelle has either defrauded the ~ public out of ninety-five cents on an article worth only five, or he wishes to inveigle them inte bnying a five cent article, by ®telling them that its actual worth is one dellar. We guarantee our subscribers that we will give them an article on six months credit which cannot be purchased any cheaper from any cther firm, and thatall albums we deliver will be equally as good as the sample from which they ordered, We feel sure that before we have finished our business in this place, the generous public will realize that we are doing a_ perfectly legitimate and honest business.
