A Fact which even political economists are apt to forget, is that a manufacturer's rate of profit is not the only essential element to suc- cess ; the aggregate profit at the end of the year is of far greater importance, and this, in most cases, is greater ont of a low rate of profit, than out of a high rate, because of the increased businese, which the lower prite gives riset>. It was on this principle that Messrs Tnckett & Son acted in i trodacing

'rnow famous ‘“‘Myrtle Navy’ tebaeeo, and to this principle they have ever since adhered: This is one of the reasous why the people of Canada are smcking the best to bacos which ean be produced, at a cheaper price than other people can buy a similar article,

THe announcement that Staff Capt. ML. Herbert was to lead the meeting in the Gospel! Army Hal! last night. drew a larve and appre- ciative sudienes, and for the fivst time the meeting was conducted according to the method pecaliar to the Gospel Army, and re minded one of the work of Moody & Sankey, Capt. Herbert’s address from the words, ** Where art thou?” made a deep impression on her hearers. She speaks with fluency, using plain but forcib'e language, and her de- livery proved her elecutionary powers in ad- dition to her ability as a speaker, Miss Her. bert is also gifted with a good voice, and sings her solos with sweetness and < ffect. She is ably assisted by Capt. Barilett and Cadet Lizzie Moore in conducting the meeting. The special address to-night is for young men, and to-morrow evening for business men.

Presentation of Prizes.

Arter the ceremonies consequent upon the prorogation of the Legislature had been concluded last evening, the volunteers returned to the Drill Shed where the prizes won by the Garrison Artillery last year were presented by Brigade Major Irving. Detachments of the Eagineers and No. 3 Company, 82nd Battalion were also pre- sented. Before the presentation, he briefly addressed the men, complimenting them highly. Heo remarked that in artillery matters, the Island has always been the premier province, and this year their noble efforts had been well seconded by the Engineers. He regretted that there was not some competitive examination in which the infantry might take part. He then presented the prizes as follows: —

Capt. Passmore, on behalf of No, 1 Co. Artillery, was presented with a handsome oak cup, mounted with silver, as Ist prize for shifting ordinance,

[Capt. Moore’s Co,, No. 2, won secord prize for shifting ordinance ($20) but the money has not yet arrived. |

Capt. Moore, on behalt of No. 2 Co. Garrison Artillery, was then presented with a handsome oak cup mounted with silver as first prize for general efticienoy.

Prizes were then awarded for gun prac- tice as follows :

Corp. Offer, No. 1, Silver Badge and $5.

Gunner McLeod, No. 2, Silver Badge and $5.

Corp. Music, No. 2, $4.

Sergt. Down, No, 2, $4.

Government Table Linen.

The Moncton Times says: It appears from questions put by Mr. Davies to Mr. Pottinger in the Inch Arran enquiry that Mr. Davies feared that Mr. Saagster’s table linen had been stolen by the Govern- ernment for use at Inch Arran. It is sat- isfactory to know that Mr. Davies’ fears were ungrounded. If it uad appeared that the Government was given to larceny of table linen it wonld not have been safe to leave a washing out over night. We there- fore heartily congratulate the country on the most important result of the Inch Arran investigation so far, namely, the demonstration of the fact that the Govern- ment is uot in the habit of robbing clothes lines, but practices some more konest method of obtaining a change of linen. Cormier deserves well of his countrymen for being the means of inducing Davies to quiet public alarm by bringing this great end important fact to the knowledge of all the people.
