Notes and Comments.

= Biamarck has receiy ed a lesson ia elec toral politeness. After presenting himself as acandidate to the electurs of Ceeste- munde, he took ao little interest iu the con- test that he did net even issue an address asking for their votes; and he did not get them. At election times the elector is the biggest man in the nation, and he knows it. Bismarck knows it also now,

The troubles which brought about the ctiais in the Portuguese cabinet which re- sulted in all members of the ministry ten- dering their resignations has beon satisiac- torily arranged. All the ministers retaip their posts with the exception of Senhor Ribiero Feriere, minister uf public works, commerce and industry.

French medical circles are interested in Prof. See's claim that breathing air im- pregnated with creosote is 8 cure sor tuber- colesis. The remedy is nasty enough to be wood, The world will be chary in sccept- ing it, however. The inaterial on which % consumption cure epidemic could feed has heen well exhausted by the ravages of the Koch lymph outbreak.

-A Brooklyn man defines la grippe as follows :—"* Twelve parts influenza, twelve parts catarrh, twenty-four parts malaria, ten parts neuralgia, eight parts muscular rheumatism, ten parts sciatica, six parts asthma, twelve parts gastric or stomach fever, sixteen parts headache and pains through the eyes, all called a cold, and ending with pneumonia.”

—Having increased the duty on eggs, potatoes, horses, etc., and so put up the prices of these commodities, the people of the United States are taking comfort in sugar, which has been placed upon the free list. One of them warbles :—

* Dame Fortune frequently is shy, And oft denominated tickle ;

But now she smiles, for we can buy A pound of sugar for a nickel.”

—Here is a picture of ‘Life in New York ""—drawn by a native of the States:

‘Twelve thousand ginmills in full blast. White slaves fighting the wolf at their doors with needles that net them 30 cents a day. That's one side. Miles of blocks of houses, each costing from $30,000 to $200,000 to build, in which families live, each spending from $10,000 to 15,000 a year. A hundred capital- ists, each with convertable assets estimated at from $1,009,000 to $150,000,000. Starva- tion on the one hand ; waste, extravagance on the other.”

—A treaty which is in forcefbetween the United States and Italy provides that, —

‘The citizens of each of the high contract- ing partics shall receive in the states and

territories of the other the most constant pro- |

tection and security for their persons and property, and shall enjoy in this respeet the same rights and privileges as are or shall be granted to the natives, on their submitting themselves to the conditions imposed on the natives,”

Yet Italy has lately been explicitly told that the Government of the United States has no power to protect Italian citizens re- siding in the States—that each state is a law unto itself in regard to the administra- tion of justice and the punishment of mur- derers and other criminals, Is it wonderful that Rudini is ** a little mixed ¢”

~The San Francisco Call believes that **one of the problems of the day is the dis- covery of « proper method of dealing with the Canadian Pacific railway.” On which The Empire remarks that ** it is well that the consideration of this subject should be brought home to the thoughful world before the case becomes more complicated. <A few years ago only a handful of fond fools im Canada harbored the opinion that this road would ever amount to anything ; wise men properly regarded it as a huge piece of folly, and our cousins down in San Francis- co really did not trouble their heads about it. But now the road is actually, and con- trary to all respectable opinion, building up Canada more rapidly than the United States transcontinental roads are developing their new territory. And, worse than all, San Francisco finds a powerful rival port on the Pacific, built up by this heartless Canadian Pacific railway. No wonder the Call appeals tothe *‘Ccngressmnen without number who jose no opportunity to shut out Commercial Union with Canada.’ But the question is how to deal with the problem. We would urge our friends to begin swearing at it. Better do something under the circum- stances, and this is the best suggestion we ean make.”

~The Colonist of British Columbia remarks that ex-Minister Phelps, in claim- ing for Uncle Sam the seals that swim in Behring’s Sea, wherever they may roam, will tind that nis theory is opposed to the principles of law as laid down by no less an authority than Blackstone. He, with re- pespect to animals fere nature, lays down this doctine :

**Tn all these creatures, reclaimed from the wildness of their nature the property is not absolute but defeasible; a property that may be destroyed if they resume their ancient wildness ond are found at large. For if the pheasants escape from the mew, or the fixhes from the trunk, and are seen wandering at large, in their proper element, they become Jere nature again, and are free and open to the first eccupant that hath ability to seize them.”

The seals which Mr. Phelps contends are the properry of the United States were uever reclaimed from the wildness of their nature. They have never been domesti- cated or even enclosed in a preserve. They have always been as wild as they are now, and at liberty to wander in sea or ocean at their own sweet will. As soon, therefore, as they get outside the territory of the United States, they are, according to the highest legal authority, as much the pro-

perty of John Bull as they are of Uncle] -

Sam. All sensible Americans admit this, for it is common sense as well as sound law, and how such a man as Mr. Phelps could get the notion into his head that the fur seals are more the property of the United States than the salmon which are hatched in the rivers of Alaska, is to us in- comprehensible.

Kickep sy 4 Honst.—The 7-year old son of Richard Butler, who lives at!8 Hollis street Halifax, had a narrow escape from being killed on Friday, 1t appears that thefyoungster was fooling with a horse in astable when the ant- mal made a kick at him. The horse's hoof struck the boy onthe forehead fracturing h's skall. The child is at present in a dangerous comlition.

THE DAILY

ee ey Same mew

Our Butterflies

“The Life ofa Butterfly” was made, last night, at the Natural tlistory Society, by the geniua of Mr. 1. W. Watson, the oceasion of a most delightful and thorough acientific paper. ‘The lecturer, who has made himself master of all the detaila of entomology, was evidently at home aud in most generous mood with his subject. His introduction was a highly poetic and beau- tiful description of the Lepidopterous dandies of our summer fields, their habits and singular lives of changeful form and fashion. Then came a minute and exceed- ingly clear and intelligible description of the anatomical structure of the butterfly, in its various phases of egg, caterpillar, pupa, and imago. Each detail of structure in all these phases was clearly and accurately given in verbal description, aud illustrated by well executed diagrams ia such & manner as to present the compli- cated anatomy of the subjects in hand in the most perfect manner to the highly interested audience. The perfect chain of physiological connection between the very varias structures in the prone vermiform caterpillars and the buoyant-winged aurelia formed the subject of a most interesting description. The special structures, such as the eyes, composed of 17,000 distinct and perfect eyelets, the slender spiral pro- boces by which the insects draw nectar from every scented bloom, the singular breathing apparatus, the saliva tubes and the spinnerets which weave the gossamer webs ‘hat enwrap the hibernating pupwe were most clearly and faithfully deseribed in connection with the general! structure of the subject. Lastly, the mental endow- ments—the instincts of these varied-lived creatures of a lower world than ourselves— were touched upon and reason given for assuming that some psychological action, such as memorial shadows, ran through the vatied phases of their complete existeaces. The paper was minute, accurate, clear, and broad enough to encompass every feature of the subject and might be called a masterly attempt to popularize the clove study of a most fascinating department of nature. The lecturer exhibited a large number of specimens of butterflies, among which were all our common Island species, as well as the mag- nificent indigenous Emperor moths and Hawk moths. Many subjects of description were illustrated reference to these actual specimens, and value.

chair, Hon. D. Laird, Dr. Beer, Rev. Mr. Hamlyn, Mr. Roche, Mr. McNeill and Mr. Bain complimented the lecturer on his most

discussion on various points of interest. A hearty vote of thanks was then presented by the society to the lecturer, in which mention was also made of the valuable services ren-

‘dered by him ia the capacity of secretary. EE I AI me ee Opening Show Day.

‘Tis the expected that happens. Messrs. | Paton & Co's. opening show day was a | great sucoess, ‘here was a good attend- 'ance, and the new and elegant Sgring and ‘Summer goods were greatly admired, 1s they well deserved to be. The different departments were all well stocked with the Jastest ideas in millinery, flowers, feathers, laces, mantles, dress goods, and the hun- dred and one other things which make up the stock of a well-equipped dry goods establishment. Paris, London, Man- chester, Glasgow, New York and other places were levied upen_ in the search for novelties, with the most satisfactory results. The display of carpets, rugs, silk and other curtains which vccupied the whole of the second floor was grand. A cosy little parlor arranged in one corner uf the room to show off the silk curtains possessed attractions for the ladies that were simply irresistable, But we have not space to go into details. The many at- tractions must be seen to be properly ap- preciated. The show day will be continued to-morrow when there will likely be a stil) larger attendance. We had almost over- jooked referring to the show windows, the goods in which are very artistically arrang- ed. The west window was dressed by Mr. McLaren and the east by Mr. Wood. The Grecian costume, fitted by Miss Mac- eachern, isa special feature in the eastern window.

A Correction, Srr,—I wish to correctan error in Mr. A. MeNeill’s letter in your issue of yester- day. The electric light placed in Hills- borough Park has net been put there by the Electric Light Co., but by the City of Charlottetown.
