AN APPEAL TO THE LADIES.
Ir is surprising what an amount of work ladies can
minds are made up to accomplish a good
object ; and we are gratified to learn that
. . , . 9 it is now the intention of the ladies of! enjoy the sweet fragrance avd pure} for the sale of half-fatted stores. Charlottetown to lend their powerful aid |
in makiog provision for the raising of a fund to meet the expenses in connection
with the recent improvements on our!
public squares, for completing the pro posed design, and also for its yearly maintenance.
It is very pleasing to notice the warm

a zreater or less degree, it has been decided by the ladies to ask every citizen to eontribute his mite, however small. A much larger sum has been
expended in the grading, fencing, and laying out of heavy permanent work on
hope of receiving grants promised by
ihe Government and City Council, a| regarded, by men of the stamp of Glad-| much criticised in the States; but, from much larger debt was incurred than! stone, Salisbury, Derby, Kimberley, etc. | their point of view, it is undoubtedly an would have been ventured upon without | What mighty efforis they have made to| excellent one. decoration | will Gieat Britain and her dependences

beds; and posts aud wire fences were put up, aud a system of drains for earry- ing off the surface water constructed. There have also been purchased a lawn mower, scythes, hand-cart, barrow, roller aud other implements, which yet require io be paid for, while the amount ex
pended four labor on permanent work |
makes one of the largest items. The future cost of maintenance, however, will be much smaller, and quite within what might reasonably be expected from these who take an interest therein.
With a view to the successful manage- ment of the flower and foliage ornamex tations, it has been found necessary to obtain a glass house and hot water heat- ing apparatus (the only one of the kind in the Proviace), for keeping and rapidly propagating plants. The boiler and pipes, including freight aad duty alone, cost about $300, besides the cost of building a boiler house and flue, fitting up the apparatus, and purchasing the necessary flower pots and paraphernalia connected with a glass house.
Although the cost of this glass house will be a considerable addition, as a tax to be borne with the already large ex- peuditure on permanent work the first year, it will eventually, however, materi- ally reduce the yearly cost of mainten auce, as instead of having to purchase elsewhere, we will be enabled to grow for our own use plants of superior quality, and in quantities and varieties to suit particular designs, and also to have them in bloom at least two mouths earlier in the season.
Next sprivg,it is intended to complete, as far as possible, the design of the pro- posed ornamentation by plauting avenues of choice imported shade trees outside of the fence along the northern aud southern sides of Queen Square; from the corner opposite the Medical Hall to Quirk’s pump, and from St. Paul’s schoolhouse to the corner opposite George Davies & C.’s., which avenues, we trust the citizens will further extend along the streets leading from the square. The trees will be protected with strong boxes painted green.
Mignonette and other sweet scented flowers will be planted all around the Square, and in places where their frag- rance will be most effectively diffused. These improvements are merely initiatory steps towards cultivating a refined taste, and creating a desire tor the further ornamentation of all our streets and squares. The work thus begun if fairly sustained, will rescue the city from its degraded position (in the eyes of strangers) and elevate it to that standard of periection which nature originally intended it should possess as the loveliest spot in the Dominion, and ove worthy of being styled the Floral City of America and the Metropolis of the Garden of the Gulf.
The movement is a good one, but help is required ; and it is needless to say that if every lady takes an interest and cheerfuily unites in helping to accom- plish the laudable object already in- augerated, nothing but success must naturally follow.
By aud by when all the advantages to be hoped for are realized, they will have the satisfaction of reaping the fruits of their labors in witnessing the wonderful and beneficial change they have been instrumental in bringing about, not only in the almost magic transformation of a desolate and dreary waste into a charming scene of shade trees and fragraut flowers, but iu the spread of a taste for the beautiful ia uature throughout the land, resulting as a consequence in more charming homes, happier families, higher education, more taste and refine- ment, and an elevation of the moral character. Property contiguous to these improvements will also increase wonder- fully in value, and more foreigners will es sigate ur Sma wen

‘some of which have been republished in | Tae ExAminer—have been suppressed by the Liberal organs or grossly misre- presented. But their pitiful and con- temptible tricks only bring iuto stronger irelief the bigh estimation in which our great Liberal-Conservative chieitain is held by the great men of the mother country, and show how jealous and mean-minded they are. Their attempts to detract from the results of Sir John’s visit |to Englaud are met by the following |quotation from an editorial article in the London Standard :—
‘* The banquet to Sir John Macdonald at the Empire Club was an appropriate com- plement to the honours which have, during the last few days, been bestowed on our foremost Colonial Statesman. The present visit of the Canaditn Premier is unconnect- ed with politics, and it is, therefore, the more convenient to turn it to account in a manner whichis no less agreeable to the distinguished Statesman than honorable to the great Colony he represents. In ad- vancing him to the dignity of G. C. B., Her Majesty conferred upon him what, according to Lord Beaconsfield, is pyac- tically the highest meritorious distinction it is in the power of the Sovereign to bestow. The hospitality of a Club designed to perpetuate the name and precepts of the late Prime Minister of England was aptly offered a few days ago to one who has earned the soubriquet of the ‘‘ Canadian Beaconsfield’; but though Sir) Jchn Macdonald is the Leader of the Con- servative Party in Canada, it would, as Lord S:lisbury remarked, be exceedingly injudicions to attempt to draw any analogy between the Conservatives of Great Bri- tain and of Canada, and presumptuous to infer a similar triumph for their principles. The character of last night’s gathering dis- pensed with the necessity of suggesting in- genious parallels in radically dissimilar bodies. The assembly at the Empire Club represented the unanimity with which all parties in this country applaud the loyal and statesmanlike policy of Colonial Feder- ation of which Canada hag set us so excel- lentau example. Of this policy Sir John
consistent advocate, and he, more than any other man, reduced vague aspirations to a practical result.”

The Cattle Trade.
A correspondent of the Montreal Gazelle says that “some American shippers imagine that because exports from the United States ports have dropped from 3,000 to 300 per week, a famioe will ensue. Nothing could be more erroneously astray. With average supplies of refrigerated meat, and frozen mutton, there are by all accounts suffi- cient live cattle in the old country, fat and fatteuing, to keep markets fairly well stocked for months to come. The labor depression is daily becoming more marked, and the workingman’s Sunday \dipner of beef and pudding is to | many a hardy son of toil only an un- | bappy recollections. Untii business | generally, and especially those industries connected with iron manufacture, ship- | building and textile production, takes a jturn for the better, the less speculation | in cattle exports from transatlantic shores, lthere is the better for all concerned. It | is stated that some of our Canadian stock- feeders have been so dissatisfied with the results of this season’s business, they | intend curtailing their operations and feed fewer cattle for shipment. But | they have not given this market a fair chance, and the losses they grumble at, are, perhaps, not altogether to be attributed to the depression in trade, and consequently low prices obtaivable here. If we examive the statistics recently issued we fiud that the number of cattle imported from Canada during the first niue months of 1884 | was 41,468, valued at $4,256,563.20 — averaging about $103.70 per head. | During 18838 the number @mported for fame period was 388,692 — costing | $4,077,600, or an average of $106.48 per head, being nearly $2.75 more than | the average price of thuse

Sertous SxHoorme AcciveNt. ~ On Saturday a young man named Harry Pros- ser, who liveson William street, waa in the woods a few milesj out of town shooting. His gun was charged with shot, and he was leaning on it with one hand ever the muzzle and one foot drawn: up over his knee. He lowered his foot to the ground, and while doing so the bottom of his trousers leg pulled the hammer partly back and let it fly. The gun went oft and Progser’s hand which was over the muzzle was tertibly shattered, the whole charge striking just above the wrist. The ruptur- ing of so many blood vessels as converge at the wrist caused him to bleed copiously, and when he got back to town, he was in an exceedingly weak condition. He was at- tended by Dr. Kelly, who found the bones so shattered, that over a hundred pieces had to be removed. Prosser is in a very critical condition.— Yarmouth Times,
