THE DAILY EXAMINER.
JUNE 22, 1889.
Notes and Comments.
—To publish ‘* A Schoolboy’s” letter in its present form would be toset thousands of tongues wagging against hundreds of teachers throughout the Province. We do not thinkthat many teachers in this Pro- vince resort to ‘* uncivilized modes of pun- ishment;” consequently, the letter would not be generally applicable; and, therefore, we think that its publication is not neces- sary or advisable. Ifthe charges preferred by ‘‘A’ Schoolboy” be true, they should be defin- itely formulated and made before the trus- tees of the district in which this particular tyrant holds sway, and to the Board of Ed- ucation, through which his salary is ob- tained.
—The Independent of New York re- marks: ‘‘ The arrest of Alexander Sullivan has brought out afresh the story of his life. It reads like a romance of the kind that are bound in yellow covers and sold for ten cents. No waywardness on his part has availed to turn him from his upward course of power and influence. Fighting a duel and a shortage in his accounts as revenue office in New Mexicoin 1869, though causing his removal, did not prevent his getting the postmastership of Santa Fe soon after ; more financial difficulties, though causing him to fly the territory in less than a year, did not prevent his receiving a political ap- pointment in Chicago, where he took up his residence; bankruptcy there and two trials for the murder of Mr. Hanford did not prevent his subsequent success at the bar or his election as President of the Irish National League; and finally his failure to account for various moneys in- trusted to him has not apparently impaired his friends trust in him. It is said that he has aspired to a vice-presidential nomin- ation ; perhaps that honor will be in store for him, if acquitted,”
—The following remarks of the Colonist, of Victoria, B. C.,—which is edited by Mr. Henry Lawson, of this Province,—will be scanned with interest in view of ;jthe approaching examinations. It is well that the end of education in school should be kept in view: ‘‘There are a good many who believe that something which they call education can work miracles. They believe that if they were only educated they would be wiser and better and richer men than they are. These worshippers of education appear to forget that all men are not intellectually, any more than they are physically, alike. They see that men are tall and short, fat and lean, strong and weak, and they know that by no kind of training can a short “man be made tall or a weak man strong. But they cannot be brought to realize that there are great dis- parities between men mentally as there are physically. Judicious training can enable a man to make the most of what is in him, but it cannot give any power that nature has denied him. They are mentally very much what they are physically. There is an almost infinite variety of endowment, but if nature has not given a mana more than ordinary share of brain power all the colleges and schools in the world cannot make up the deficiency. Education, when it is really educative, enables a man to make the best use of his mental outfit, but it cannot add to that outfit in the least.”
—On the subject of purity, Bishop Bond, of Montreal, recently uttered most impres- sive and important words. He said :—‘‘I commend this subject to the deep consi- deration of parents and guardians, with whom, more than withany others, rests the power as well as the responsibility of stop- ping the beginning of thissin. It happens often that the young do not fear, because they do not know the evil consequences to themselves of a departure from the line of moral rectitude. The restlessness of youth seeks change and excitement, and not find- ing it in the monotony of business, or the sameness of home life, looks for it, ignor- antly, first in the intoxicating cup or vain parade of finery, and later in evil com- panionship, and dark, disgusting vice. Society is wrong somewhere, that our young people should find home irksome and business life mere drudgery. Pleasure stands on too high a pedestal, and is too distinct (in the mind of youth) from duty and family affection. The natural remedy for much that is wrong lies in early mar- riage, and for early marriage young men and maidens should be taught to prepare by the practice of thrifty, industrious habits, moderation in dress and luxury and other so-called refinements. A prominent place should be given to useful knowledge, order and cleanliness, and a proper self- respect encouraged. These remarks may seem to apply chiefly to the working classes, but 1 intend them for all individ- uals in every class of society wishing to attain to that life of purity which alone is ey of a being created in the ‘image of
od.
(Moncton Times.)
The growth of maritime towns is gratify- ing. A gentleman from Nova Scotia who was in Moncton a few days ago reports that the sister town of Amherst is going ahead very rapidly, rivaling, if it does not surpass, Moncton in this respect The same is true of other Nova Scotia towns. Even in old fashioned Windsor there is a great deal more building this year than was ever before known, the majority of the new structures being dwellings of the better class. Where a few years ago all was stag- nation, there is now life and activity; and we do not hesitate to say there are a dozen towns in the maritime provinces which have increased in population anywhere be- tween 50 and 100 per cent. within the last ten years. In towns that formerly had scores of vacant houses the complaint now is that dwellings cannotbe secured by new- comers, and this complaint comes from many of the smaller as well as the larger towns. There are, no doubt, exceptions to the rule ; some localities, by reason of the presence of too many croakers perhaps, may not have shared the general prosperity, but it may be safely said that never before in the history of these provinces was the growth of our towns more rapid, and with this growth must come increased markets and increased prosperity for the agricul- tural classes.

It may interest some of your readers to read of an apothecary’s bill for medicine prescribed over 250 years ago, for a fever patient. The list of medicine given on each other day is quite as long, and every bolus is found in the same way duly speci- fied in ‘‘Mr. Parrett, the apothecary’s bill sent in to Mr. A. Dalley, who was a mercer on Ludgate Hill.” 1 quote the supply for the fourth day’s illness :

One day’s medical treatment is here re- presented as it was often to be met with in the palmy days of physic, when ‘* Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel,
And death in ambush lay in every pill.”
Then truly might it be written how “The piercing caustics ply their spiteful
pow’r,
Emetics wrench, and keen cathartics scour,
The deadly drugs in double doses fly,
And pestles beat a martial symphony.”

The following account of the homage paid to Father Matthew is taken from his Life by Mr. Maguire, M. P.: ‘‘The mis- sionary of temperance had arrived in the dusk of the evening at the house of a parish priest in a remote part of the County Gal- way, where he was to preach in aid of the funds of aschool, and afterwards adminis- ter the pledge. The best room in the house was prepared for the honored guest, who was conducted to it by h'shost. The room was on the ground floor, and lighted by a large bay-window, which was without blind or curtain of any kind. Father Matthew, whose bedroom was as plain and simple as this apartment, only thought of preparing himself by a good night’s rest for the labors of the following day ; and turn- ing his face to the wall, he soon fell into a deep slumber. Awakening, as was usual with him, at an early hour in the morning, he opened his eyes and turned towards the window. But imagine his dismay, when he beheld a crowd of people—men, women and children—in front of the blindless and curtainless window, and at least a score of noses flattened against the glass, the better to enable their respective proprietors to obtain a peep at his reverence. A more modest man did not exist than Father Mat- thew, and great was his embarrassment at this indication of his popularity. He glanced at the head of the bed and at the table near him to see if a bell were in reach; but such a luxury in the house of a priest in a mountain parish of Galway, was not to be thought of. There was something resembling a bell-pull at one side of the fireplace; but ifit were a real bell-pull, it might as weil have been twenty miles away for any practical advantage at that moment, for it would be difficult to say what would induce Father Matthew to quit the shelter of the bed-clothes and walk across the room to grasp that tantal- izing cord. The crowd outside was mo- mentarily on the increase, and the deepen- ing murmur of their voices testified to the animation of the conversation’ carried on. Occasionally, might ke heard such as the following: ‘‘Do you see him, Mary, asthore ?” ‘* Danny, agra, lave me a look, and God bless you, child.” ‘* Where are you pushing with yourself ?—hould off or me foot, will ye ?’ Oh, wisha, there’s the blessed priest.” ‘‘ Honest man, would ye be pleased to lift off or me back—one ’ud think ’tis a horse J was.” ‘‘’Tis a shame for ye to be there—what curiosity is in yez all?” ** Mammy, mammy, there he is! I saw his poll.” ‘‘ Wisht, and don’t be after waking him.” Father Matthew ventured a peep, but the slightest movement on_ his part only evoked increased anxiety outside; and it seemed to him as if the window panes were every moment accomodating a larger number of flattened noses. The poor man felt himself a prisoner, and listen- ed with eagerness for any sound which gave kope or promise of deliverance, but it was not till after three mortal hours of his guests amical captivity, that the consider- ate host who would not disturb his guest too early, entered the apartment and _ thus became aware of the admiring crowd, who, it need scarely be said, were quickly dis- persed to Father Matthew’s infinite relief.

One has often heard the story of Lord Brougham’s instructions on brewing. As ordinarily told it is to the effect that cer- tain illustrious foreigners, accompanied by his Lordship, then Lord High Chancellor, had assembled at a celebrated brewery in order to inspect its working ; that the in- dividual detailed. to explain everything to them was suddenly taken ill, when Lord Brougham became their instructor instead, and, to the astonishment of every one, ex- hibited a complete acquaintance with the process of brewing, which he lucidly ex- plained. But I have lately, (in the Life of Sir Thomas Buxton) come across a very different account of this story which bears strong internal evidence of being the more correct one. The illustrious individuals who were present on the occasion referred to were not foreign princes, but the mem- bers of Earl Grey’s Cabinet, who had been invited to what is colloqually called a ‘* beef-steak dinner” at the brewery. After it was finished a proposition was made that they should inspect the works, and in order that the party should understand the use of each and all of them the foreman,an intelligent Scotchman, was desired to attend and explain everything. They had scarcely got into the first room when Lord Brougham waived aside his Scotch guide was volunteering an explanation, saying:— “Young man, I willsave you the trouble you are about to undertake; I understand this perfectly well; and will explain it to my friends.” His Lordship then proceeded, with- out further preface, to explain to Earl Grey and other members of the party every stage in the process of brewing—but not one of them correctly, even by accident. The Scotch-
man, who perceived, but was too prudent to expose the ignorance of his countryman, was
astonished by his unceasing volubility, and in speaking of it afterwards in a mixed com- pany, where the author (of Buxton’s Life) was present, observed :—‘Gude faith, sirs, but it made my hair staun on en’ to hear the Lord High Chancellor 0’ Great Britain tellin’ the Lord High Treasurer a lang tale about maut and the brewing o’t, and nae word o’ truth fra beginning to end. 1t made a think- ing mon reflect, what a terrible pass things must hae come till, when a minister could jist tell, and anither minister jist believe, sic awful cantrips! Eh, sirs, nae barrel can be good that blatherin chiel has got the
brewin’ o’.
