LivERARY AND Musica ENTeRTAINMENT.

We ;hear that a Literary and Musical Entertainment is to be held in St. Paul’s Church Schoolroom, on Wednesday, the 40th inst.—in which Mr. Hill, of Halifax, —an accomplished reader—and the Char- lottetown Orchestral Club, will take part.

Lo. 0. F.—~QOn Fri-) Te. day, the 26th of April " (the Natal Day of the Order), an Odd Fellows’ Entertainment will be given in the Market Hall. Particulars will be published in a few days. H. Jas. Patmer, Chairman Com. April 2, 1878,

Tse Suppressep Memoranpum.—With reference to the ‘‘ Memorandum” which does not appear in the correspondence be- tween the Government and His Lordship Bishop McIntyre, we may explain that it was not the private letter to the Governor- General — of which Mr. Davies spoke in the House the other day. If it is not in possession @ the Local Government, they cannot, of course, be blamed for not pub- lishing it. But itis strange that when the correspondence was published for the self- evident purpose of keeping up the agitation on the School Question, one very important memorandum—submitted in the usual way —by the official channel—should be with- held !

Catepon1a.—On Tuesday evening, at the close of a public Temperance Meeting, at Hopedale, Lot 22, addressed by the G. W. Patriach, a new Division of the Sons of Temperance, ‘‘Caledonia,” No. 105, was formally organized with 32 Charter mem- bers. The officers are :-—

SrewART AND THE SuHvurrers.——If there is anything which sorely troubles the Com- missioner of Public Works it is to hear any reference to the stupid blunder he com- mitted when he placed the iren shutters on

the Court House windows. This was referred to in the House of Assembly the other day, but Stewart declined to give any explanation, saying that the charges against them in that respect were merely the insinuations of the Press—which he now affects so heartily to despise, but the sayings of which, nevertheless, caused him a great deal of anxiety. Now, anyone who will take the trouble to examine the shut- ters on the Court House windows will see at once that they are utterly useless, and that the money expended in putting them up has been wasted. This is how it happened that such a large sum of money has been spent in repairs to the various Court Houses. The shutters will have to be taken down, as they are of no use whatever, and only tend to spoil*the appearance of the strue- ture. They are, however, a fair specimen of what Stewart can accomplish in the me- chanical line. It is no use for him to say that he ‘‘does not care for the Press.” We never knew a newspaper published which was not more reliable or more respected than the Commissioner or the Goyernment of which he is a member. Stewart is a first-class failure in more ways than one, It is truly laughable to hear him tell mem- bers of the Opposition that they ‘‘must use more courteous language ‘in speaking to heads of departments.” He tuld Mr. Me- Kay the other day, that unless he used more courteous language towards members of the Government, he would never get the money for the West River Bridge. All persons, therefore, who wish to obtain any share of justice in the way of public works, must first do homage and swear allegiance to that greatest of political quacks, the Commissioner of Public Works. —Progress.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS,

(Special Despatch to Daily Heaminer.)

Lonpon, April 9. The Pall Mall Gazetie, in view of the fac- tious opposition which, not daring to move hostile resolutions, seem to hamper the Goy-

‘ernment by such speeches as these of Earl

Granville, Earl Derby, the Duke of Argyle, and Mr. Gladstone, calls upon the Govern- ment to dissolve Parliament, and thus ter- minate the anarchy which has partially pre- vailed during the last two years. ~

In the Commons, this afternoon, Sir Stafford Northcote again stated that the House would adjourn for Easter recess on the 16th inst., provided that the pending debate on the Address to the Queen was concluded to-night.

In the Commons, to-night, the debate on the address to the Queen, in reply to her recent message, was continued. Sir Wil- fred Lawson, on behalf of the Radicals, moved the amendment of which he had previously given notice, contesting the ne- wessity of calling owt reserves. The amend- ment was rejected by 319 to 64. The Mar- quis of Hartington, W. E. Foster and many other Liberals abstained from voting. Messrs. Gladstone and Bright supported the amendment.

The amendment proposed by Sir George Campbell, praying her Majesty to accept the preliminary conference suggested by Germany and abstain from isolated action,

support the powers against the spoliation of Roumania, was withdrawn. The address was then agreed to without division. Sr. Perersspure, April 9.

The Journal De St. Petersburg, adverting to the hopes of the maintenance of peace which have gained ground during the last four days, points out what would have to be done in order to effect a solution of the crisis. fits obtained for Be secured by an

the Christians shall not inefticacious stipula- tion like those of 1856, but by a material guarantee. Russia cannot accept an ephemeral decision of the Congress, be- cause it would not assure peace. If Europe be disposed to undertake the settlement of the Eastern Question in a sense of emanci- pating the Christians, Russia will not raise any difficulties. But the discussion of the question at issue must be inspired by confi- dence-—not by jealousy.

Fraud on a Bank.

A mest ingenious fraud has just been dis- covered on the Sandbach (Cheshire) Branch of Parr’s Banking Company. On Saturday last aman respectably attired, giving the name of William Edwards, called at the office in Sandbach, and obtained a banker’s draft for £8 3s. 6d., payable to Wm. Rob- inson on Messrs, Gly, Mills & Currie, Lan- don. Edwards, by some chemical agency, obliterated the whole of the writing on the whole of the document, and, altering the date, made it payable for £200 to John Robinson. This was cashed at the Com- mercial Bank, Manchester,!which forwarded the draft to their London agents, who in turn presented it to Glyn, Mills, Currie & Co. The latter paid over the £20Q, and then returned it to Sandbach, when the fraud was revealed. Edwards, who is well known to the detective department of Scot- land-yard, is about Sft. Yin. high, with a ruddy complexion, sandy hair, and whiskers turning gray; stout-built, and about 45 years of age.

The Manchester Guardian expresses its surprise that bank drafts are not printed on colored paper hke chromos.

The Rich and Poor Alike.

The scriptures do less in distinguishing between men by their possessions than we do. To hear many speak, even Christians, and to read in many books—of the senti- mental order particularly—one would sup- pose that the ‘“‘ working classes’ or the ‘¢ lower 6rder,” were a distinct species, and specially hardened, irreligious and depra- ved, and that the mission of the Church, as composed of superior beings, is specially to them. You can point to the fact that there are sO many more crimes among them than among the rich. But there are so many more of them than of the rich, that their crimes are less easily hidden. A rich man in his home or in his hotel can be kept from the public eye for days, while he is sottishly drunk ; the same sin in a poor man or woman, precluded from privacy, cannot be hid. So we had better not make much of this distinction, which is un-Amer- ican, and the emphasizing of which only | raises class feeling against the ‘gospel. As ‘largefa proportion of comfortable people ‘neglect God as of the poorer, and with less ‘temptation. It is not of the straitened in means but of the rich Christ says, ‘‘ How hardly shall they enter into the kingdom of Heaven.” -—LHe.
