THE MEETING THIS EVENING:

FoRGETFUL ofthe fact thatthe hope of the future of our country lies in euch as those who attend the Kindergarten, and that a meeting in Kindergarten Hal! is a happy and resssurivgangury ofsuccess,the Patriot makes a sickly attempt to be funny ever the Libera!-Conservative meeting to be held there this evening. “ Those langh best who laugh last;’ and it is quite with- in the range of possibility that after the Provincial election has been held the Patriot’s laughter will be “on the other side of the mouth ”. It is certain, at all events, ‘that no patriotic elector.will be blinded by the Patriot’s chaff, or be unable to see the ruin that lies in the course that has been followed by the Petere Government. We have no dust that the meeting will be attendea by men of intelligencc and determination, and we trust that,as a result of the eelection to be made by the Liberal-Conservatives, this city of Char ottetown will no longer be represeuted in the Legislature by 1aen who are unable to say a word in her be- half and who wield no influence whatever over the Government of the Province. Charlottetown is the chief town ot the Pro- vince, and she ought to have some weigat in the cuunci:s of the country. But Mr. Peters tlouts her and her representatives in the face and has done so trom the very beginning. The truth of this statement iz fercibly illustrated and brought home by the fact that Charlotteto~n is pow com- pelled to undertake, alone and unaided by the government, the whole expense inci- dent ‘to afffitting the celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee in this Province. The celebration is calculated to evoke the patriotic sentiment of the Province at, large. It is representative of the Province vat large. The people of the province at large would, we are sure, be glad to bear their part in the demonstration that is to be made in honor of their beloved Queen.

They would feel ashamed of them- selves if nO demonstration were made to mark the completion § of

the sixtieth year of Her Majesty’s happy and prosperous reign. But Messrs. Rogers and Prowse are unable to move Mr. Peters to give a single. dollar in aid of the jubilee. Charlottetown is compelled to ‘bear the whole expense of it. Mr. Peters snaps his fingers at Charlottetown and is quite willing to take eredit for the celebra- tion, while the poor but loyal taxpayers of the eity pay forit! We see in thie single fact—which is typical of the Government’s conduct towards the capital sity through-

out its career—an ample reason why the electors of Charlottetown should rally at Kindergarten

Hall this evening and take steps to bring out candidates to oppose and defeat those who hang upon the skirts of the Govern. ment to receive, metaphorically, the kicks of ite leader. Everyone knows that the Peters Government is as unpopular throughout this Province as it is poasible for a Goverument to be, and the electors of Charlottetown cannot fai] to see that it ori be in their interest to take the Jead in pile Merement which wuet result in oust- ingthem from power. We, therefore, hope sogeem large representative meeting of the elesters of Charlotictown at Kindergarten Hall this eveving. oaineeentl ti titeiediltgintesinancenicmerndns * 4--The Flag, published at Ottawa, re- marks that, “locally this spring has been the anest backward jor years.” The bad siestber bas not been con‘ied to Prince

The ar By Alberton,

A visit to Alberton and its vicinity re- minds one of the beaatiful lines of the poet :

While faint ai eve, through sylvan ways, The city’s gathered murmurs die, And voiceful of historic deys Her towers oppose te pallid eky, A fainter strain entrancing more, In memory’s mystic world floats on, — The echoes of the surges roar About the bar by Alberton,

Oh far away ! Oh far away, Though tones from old cathedral bells Steal sweetly forth, give me to stray Where the dark wave resounding 8 vells Against the fir trees solemn gioom, To see day’s level tires grown wan And bear the billows sullen boom

About the bar by Alb-ron.

Recalling faded days of yore, When wide the unbroken forest lay Primeva) to the northern shore, And the jone Indian on his way Heard the deep voice bis sires had knowa Ur when his evening cam) fire shoue Caught the Atlantic’s ceaseless moan About the bar by Albortoa.

When weary home the reapers go

And Heaper’s dewy light is born, Or autumn moovbeams soft and slow, Draw dials round the sheaves of corn, Seuthward o’er warmer tracts aod far Mysterious murmurs wander on, The sound of waves that waste the bar, The sandy bar by Alberton.

Spent in the misty voids cf night

No western gale that murmar brings, So pleasures die and dreams of light, In clouds decay the spirit singe

Its sad refrain by life’s cull shoal

Of many & golden suramer gone

In echoes of the surges roar

About the bar by Alberton.

NEW LIGHTS.

Sirce the poet wrote, the samis which form “The Bar by Alberton” have shiited, and the old jaad marks ure no longer to be trusted. Theerection of new range lights was therefore necessary. This work has lately been accomplished by Mr. Milton Walsh, of the Marine Dz- partmevt, who returned to Charlottetown on Saturday. Tbe new lights are white lights, By coming into range with- them the vesse! from_vea is brought to Malone’s Poiat, afier which the old red range lizhte must be used to bring ber safely into harbor. These new lights have been erected on Mr. Oulton’s Isiand; and as Mr. Quiton and his family are the only resi- dents of that island, and as they are all Liberals, it may be assumed that either he or some member of his family will be the lighthouse keeper.

OULTON’S ISLAND.

Fifteen years ago thie Island, at the entrance of Cascumpec harbor, was covered by a dense forest and was known by- thes name of Savage Island. But it Came into possession of aa active and en-

ergetic man, about that time, and it is “Savage” no longer. On the contrary, a large part of its hundred end seventy-five acres ‘a in a good state of cultivation and ig covered by a crop which lcoks well,.

Mr. R.T. Oulton bas, by hia energetic

and persev‘ring Jabor, redeemed the

Island from everything that may be called “pavage,” excepta few vey valuable black and silver grey fixes waich be bas, with

his kecu eye «wv wusines#, preserved in an enclosure that he calls his “fox ranch” and which, in company with Mr. Dalton, of Tignish, he ie keeping for breeding pur- poses.. The ranch is situate in the deasest part of the woods which remain

upon the Island, aad is surrounded by a fence or wall of webbed wire. This wire wall extends, below the sufface four feet and above the surface about fifteen or twenty feet. Thecoy female foxes, with their black and silver grey pup’, are kept within this enclosure, while Master Reynard oc- eupies a house in the farmyard. As the skins Of these animals are exceedingly valuable, Mr. Oulton has good ground for the hope that he will be well repaid for all his careand trouble in connection with them. His island covtinues to be the resort of wild geese, duck, brant and other wild fowl while it is close to the fishing grounds of the west. Like Robinson Crusoe Mr. Oulton is lord ef all he surveys. Yet he is not averse to shering with his chosen friends the sporting privilegea which he possesses on his islund. Me may well be proud of the improvement that he

politicians, what is to be said of the man who bas transformed a howling wildernes@ into similing meadows and grainflelds ?

ALBERTON 4ND VICINITY.

The beauty of Alberton is somewhat marred by several old dilapitated build - Lag*, some of which have been partially

consumed by fire. Still there is ‘in it much that is attractive. Some of the houses in acd sbout the town. sre

daely proportion d and well built, and wick lawns and. well kept gerlden: abcut then, ure elegant p’ cs. tf residence, Vhe roral scenery da the vicitity is really beautiful. A pretty and tlourishing Ar- glican church vccupies the site of an old- time tavern and the large Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churchey in and about the town, prove tl.at its people have lavished some bad influ ane-s and have surrounded thenselves by many good influences,

Alberton possesses in the Terrace House, kept by the Misees Eilis, one of the best appointed and most comfortable hetels in the Province ; and this, with the fishing and shooting near by,make it popular as a resort in the tourist season.

PERSCNAL.

The illness of John T. Weeks, Exq, one ot the leadirg men of the town and a prominent member of the Liberal-Conser- vative party, is greatly regretted. It is pl asing to learn that he is now repor‘ed as “somewhat better”, and that he entertains a good hope of recovery.

—It is remarked that a significant cele- bration of Her Majesty’s Jubilee has been arranged by the inhabitants of British Columbia, in the opening, on June 21st of ihe new Legislative buildings, which have been in progress of ereetion during the past three ycars. The desiga, material and labor are all home productions, and the total cest of the building baa been considerably less than $1,000,600. The sandstone, granite and marble of which the walls are formed abound in the Pro- vince, and come straight from the qnarries; native cedar, maple and oak are com- bined in the interior — furnishing; while Canadian brains designed the imposing pile and Canastian hands exeecut- ei the well-considered plans. The build- ings are arranged in three groups—the ceutre or principal building,’ comprising six departmeats, is so arranged that whilst each of the three wings will be, a. perfect and complete building erected independ- ently of the others, they will, when ¢om- pleted, form one structure. ‘The buildings cover an area of 5000 square yaris, or more than an acre, while the yreat dome—to the top of the’ colossal eopper figure of Oapt Geo. Vancouver, which surmounts it—is over 159 feet above the ground floor.
