Cae American press see more in Com- mercial Union than our ‘‘truly loyal” Grit contemporaries. The Chicago Tribune un- derstands Commercial Union to mean a pro- posal of subjection ; so also does the New York Sun and other influential journals. The Sun has lately been giving its readers some interesting information on the sub- ject. In the course of a reference to the statement of a Canadian paper that ‘* Com- mercial Union must reduce Canada to the position of a subsidized semi-dependency of the United States,” it says :—

‘This is perfectly true. Itis a valid ob- jection, but it could only apply to the situa- tion that would be created by a_ political inion of the two countries. Then there would eno subsidized semi-dependency about it, but equal rights, equal independency and equal glory for all.”

Commenting upon this statement of its New York namesake, the St. John Sun SAYS :

‘* The Commercial Union plot is an Ameri- can device to induce the Canadians to place themselves in a dependent position, from which annexation is the only refuge. The innocent name of reciprocity is used to con- ceal an inherently vicious proposition.”

DiscouRSING upon the depression which is at present hovering over Newfoundland, the St. John Sun says :-

‘* The present depression in Newfoundland is largely caused by changes analogous to those which have affected our own shipping industry. Seal fishing was formerly carried on in wooden vessels, sailing out of New- foundland ports, the men taking half the pro- ceeds of the vovage, and the owners, who supplied everything, taking the other half. About 15,000 men were engaged in the busi- ness. hese sailing vessels have been driven off the sea by large steamers, some of which came from Scotland. The number of men employed is about a third of the number thirty years ago; and these only get a third of the proceeds. The catch of seals has been re- duced to one-half, and the price of seal oil is about half what it was in 1880. The sealing industry has ceased to be of any particular benefit to the poople.’

However, in the face of these changes, Newfoundland appears to be in a tranquil state. The Sun adds :-—

‘Newfoundland has great natural resources, but can no longer atford to disregard modern wa)s of doing business, Hitherto everything has been staked on the fishing industry, while the old-time methods have been pursued. The Island has a decided advantage over New

How They Do Business THE ISLANDERS IN MONTREAL.

—— ee

We arrived at the ancient City of Quebec too late in the evening to see its many and great attractions. The Heights of Abra- ham were shrouded in darkness. But the darkness was not so profound as that which enveloped them when Wolff and his High- landers climbed to victory, for the electric lights shone and flickered upon their rug- ved sides and along their brow. Though suid to be behind the times, Quebec is, tor a town of 75,000 inhabitants, well supplied with all the most modern arrangements and conveniencies, and though I remained only two hours, I was there long enough to dis- cover that in point of hotel charges and cab fares, at least, Quebec is fully abreast of the age. Still, there is a quaintness about it, a flavor of old times, a charm not pos- sessed by cities which are wholly under the spirit of modernism.

Taking a C. P. R. “sleeper” at Quebec, we slept the sleep of the just until within a few miles of Montreal. These ‘‘sleepers” are one of the great modern institutions, and on no railway in America are there found to be more complete ‘sleepers’ than those of the C. P. R. A man with a good conscience can travel by night) hundreds of miles, and rise refreshed in the morning to vo about his business. After a good wash and good brush down by the ever courteous negro waiter, one feels able to encounter, as well as may be, even the great City of Montreal.

The metropolis of Canada has lately pro- gressed by ‘leaps and bounds.” If one walks west, he sees whole streets of splen- did new dwellings added to the town; and if he walks east he sees thousands of new

houses which have been and = are still being erected, for the working people who throng its thriving fac- tories, and meet the requirements of its

increasing traffic, while he cannot fail to see at various points within the old limits, buildings in course of erection of magnifi- eent proportions and architecture. The piece of land cn which the Herald office (lately burned) stood is to be expropriated at a cost to the citizens of about $360,009 ; and the Herald has purchased a church for its publishing house. The ‘‘ hum’ is everywhere in Montreal; and, ~while fortunes are not acquired so rapidly as in the olden time, the town bears unmistak- ably the air of business and prosperity. What a contrast to the stagnation witnessed by the writer in the spring of 1878! What a gratifying contrast ; for the prosperity of the Commercial Centre of Canada indicates certainly the prosperity of the country at large. The former is in fact a direct result of the latter.

The City Hall is one of the many very handsome buildings of Montreal. With a council chamber so fine and committee rooms 30 spacious, it is hard to believe: that any Alderman of Montreal would ever dream of accepting ** boodle.”

We strolled into the Recorder’s Court- room. It was Monday ferenoon, The seats were well filled with men and women —just such acrowd as assembles in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court at Char- lottetown—only not quite so hard looking. But it should be explained that the prison- ers were not visible. Out of tenderness for their finer feelings or to keep them as faras possible from the spectators—they are held

in an adjoining room and_ brought up one by one through a anar- row passage like sheep ‘to the sham-

bles, and shielded from the vulgar gaze by a green baize screen while the examination goes on. The Recorder sitting high and haughty upon his magisterial seat, calls out in shrill falsetto voice the names of each victim in the order set down. It was Mary Mulligan’s turn when we called. ‘‘Mary Mooligan,” sang the Recorder, ‘*Mary Mooligan,” shouted the policeman, ‘*Mary Mooligan,” reechoed from the room beyond. Presently Mary was brought to the end of the passage. ‘‘Mary Mooligan,” said the Recorder, ‘tyou are charged with having been drunk on St. James’ Street last night,” ‘‘It isalie, yer Honor.” A brawny French policeman thereupon testi- ties against Mary, Mary shouting, the while, ‘‘it’s a lie.” ‘‘Any witnesses,” asks the Magistrate, in his high monotone. Poor Mary has none. ‘Five dollars or tifteen days,” sings the Recorder,and Mary is withdrawn to make way for the ‘‘next.”

Islanders are plentiful in Montreal. During a short afternoon walk with a friend, four of these we met were pointed out as Islanders—aljl said to be ‘‘ doing well”’—one accounted a millionaire. Mon- treal is the centre of a very large passenger trafic, and several of her hotels are first- class. It may not be amiss to say that ‘* The Balmoral” is, in my opinion, as good as any, and the charges much more reason- able than some.

The people of Montreal are proverbially kind and courteous to strangers; and we would fain have stayed longer among them. But we must presson towards the West. Leaving Montreal at 8.20 p. m., the C. P. R. train arrives in Ottawa at 12.23—in good time to obtain a comfortable night’s rest at the Windsor, or Russel, or Grand Union before setting out, on the following morning, to see the hives of industry known

as the Public Departments, and to do ** The Exhibition.” We a

TRAINOR-HALLORAN, Tue marriage of Mr, Bertiard Trainor, of the’P. O. Department, to Miss Ellen Haileran,

which took place at St. Dunstan's Cathedral this morning, was an event of much | interest to the youn —— The ceremony was per- formed by His Lordship Bishop Me)ntyre, who also celebrated Mass. The bride, whe was dressed in garnet satin, trimmed with garnet plush, and pale pink plush bonnet, with gloves to match, was led to the altar by her father, Mr. Peter Hal- loran, where the groom was in waiting, sup- ported by his brother, Mr. Joha L. Trainor, of the Merchants’ Bank of Halifax. The bridesmaid, Miss Aggio Halloran, sister cf the bride, wore electric blue, trimmed with plush, with bows of ribbon to match. Mr, and Mrs. Trainor left by the 6.45 a. m. train for New York and other cities in the United States, amid showers of rice, old slippers and We tender our congratulations.

CARYL-TOOMBS,

At the residence of C. W. Caryl, 250 Me- Callie street, yesterday afternoon, his sister, Miss Lucy H. Caryl, of Oakland, Cal., was united in marriage te George H. Toombs, of Charlottetown, BP. E.

The happy event was witnessed by Mr. and Mrs. Nixon, Mrs. McClung and daughter, Mrs. McIntyre, Mrs. Pullen and daughters, Miss Nixon, Mr. Coons, Mr. Kinchley and the family, and after receiving the hearty congratulations and good wishes of those present, the young couple took their departure for their future home in the East.—Chattanooga, Tenn., Com- mercial, Sept. 19. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Toombs every success in life.

VAN KOUGHNET-ALEXANDER,

good w ishes.

The marriage of Commander Van Kough- net, R. N., and Lady Jane Alexander was solemnized on Thuragay last in Colney charch, near St. Albans. The bride was given away by her brother, the Earl of Caledon, and Cap- tain, the Hon. William Grimston, R. N., was best man. The Rev. Markland Barnard officiated, assisted by the Hon. and Rev. Robert Grimston. After the ceremony the wedding party adjourned to Tyttenhanger Park for tea, and soon after Commander and Lady Jane Van Koughnet left to pass the early days of the honeymoon at Blackmore End, near Welwyn, the seat of Mrs. Birley Baxendale. Amongst those attending the ceremony were the Earl Verulam,the Earl and Countess of Caledon, the Dowager Countess of Caledon, the Dowager Countess of Craven, Viscount and Viscountess Grimston, Lacy Jane Grimston, Lady Harriet Poore, Lady Edith Cotes, Major Hon. Walter and Mrs. Alexander, Captain Hall, R, N., Mrs. Hall and the Misses Hall, Mrs, Birley Raxendale, Mrs. Barnard, General Hassard and Mr. Hugh Grimston.—London Post, Sept. 5th. Commander Van Konghnet was for some time flag-lieutenant to Admiral Commerell, and is known to many people in Charlotte- town.

Obscure Acadian History.

(St. John Sun.)

[By many the credit of the colonization of Canada is given to Jacques Cartier. It is certain that he was its discoverer. © But Hunter-Duvar, of P. E. L, a thorough scholar in all that pertains to French his- tory, contends that Seigneur de Roberval headed the ‘first detachment of - colonists that was sentto New France and that Car- tier was his pilot; but he was so cowardly that he deserted that expedition and made his way back to France. This.is an ob- scure, but interesting piece of Acadian his- tory, and Mr. Duvar has made it the basis of a drama, which will be shortly published by Messrs. McMillan. From a glance at some of the early sheets of.the volume it is inferred that the work will’ be likely to at- tract attention. Here is a,bit. of contro- versy between Roberval, a missionary, and Ohnawa, an Jndian maiden:]

Rob. I will take this one’s soul in mine own hands. What would you have? The Christian graces are : Modesty, cedulence and faithfulness, A touch of gratitude, a sense of truth, And some dependence on the deity. She has them all. She shall not be converted, (Enter Ohnawa.) Come hither, child. Tell me, Ohnawa, ‘mie. Wilt thou abjure thy god, give up thy tree, The Christian Three-in-one ? Ohn. The Great Spirit. Master of Life, is good; he sends the rain And sun that make the yellowcorn to grow, And, when the ice breaks up, makes fish to swim, And game return at time of opening leaves. Weare the creatures of his unseen hand, Our God has never died, but lives. We hear His whispered orders speaking in our hearts, And though he knows, to show we re- verence him We cast shells in the streams and burn sweet words ; In wars our warriors offer sacrifice. He loves the Red Men. When the lamp goes out : From —_ our bodies, if. we do His wi ~ He will relight the light of life again, And lead us to the happier hunting woods. Miss. Blasphemous Huguenot? idolatrous ! The outcrop of a damnable heresy ! Viceroy, beware! and learn this thing from me.

That he who can and stamps not out the sin

Shares in the crime and courts the punishment ; .

This savage infidel as any Jew,

Is thrice accursed in that by heathen spells

She hath imposed on the King’s Otticer, —

This will bring on us incensed heaven's ire,

And vengeance down on her protector's head.
