useful as the site for a where boating and bathing might be mans aged, and the steamer running up the West River might always call. From Govern- ment Bridge, the road leading to the Park could be constructed along the shore, fol- jowing the natural curves towards the Point. Government House grounds might be kept private, by a board fence of three feet high being placed on the top uf the bank, on the inner side of the roadway. The road might leave the shore and ascend the the bank about two hundred feet this side of the powder magazine. There a distant view of the Government grounds would be had, and people would naturally turn their heads for a view of the residence as their carriages went slowly up the in- cline. The road might pass the old sur- yeying stone which has been standing like a sentinel in the green field for half a cen- tury, and be continued past the battery and powder magazine. Here theside of the hill descends intoa deep grove of shadow ing spruce trees. Suppose we are in a carriage coming towards the town cn the North River side of the battery. Thereisa dimness like twilight even in mid-day while driving. Suddenly an opening is seen, and we emerge in broad daylight at the foot of a steeply ascending field, with the old battery and powder magazine at its summit. As we ascend the hill nothing can be seen in front of us but the wild flowers in the grass and the outline of the hill and battery, showing broadly out against the sky. In a few minutes we are near the summit, and the town gradually spreads out before our view, the steeples in the first moment ap- pearing as if they were growing from among the waving grasses on the hill top. There is a beautiful prospect from this point. The blue distances of the West River may be seen in one direction, with its juttipg land points and wavy horizon of hills; in another the dark woods, rocky cliffs and brown grain fields that enclose the Harbour’s mouth like a rich fringe. The river front of the town from here has a very The houses on the es~

fine appearance. planade are seen on one side; on the other, Government Bridge and the houses around it with their solid front of breastwork. I have been told that this water side of our town is very like one of the views in the beautiful harbor of Copenhagen. A _ very foolish idea has been proposed to builda breastwork road from the esplanade across the flats to the Government Point. This would destroy the appearance of the whole side of the town, and lessen the value of the property, while the only pleasure des rived from travellirg upon such a roadway, would be similar to that experienced by a tight rope dancer walking along the top of a fence. Starting from the entrance to the woods of the Government Farm, the road might be continued touching the angle of a beautiful field, to the point where the two rivers meet, striking the shore for a short distance where a fine view would be obtained of the mouth of the harbor and the banks of both rivers, thence into the woods, and winding towards the grove of beeches, (one of the most beautificl in the Island,) through it, and pasta poad in the woods, which might be, by very little labor, made into a beautiful lakelet, as the water is two or three feet deep round the margin and the bottom sandy. -From this point the road might be continued, skirting the edge of one of the fields where hedges of some kind should be planted. The Government Farm ought to be made a model to the farmers of the Island in the way of appear- ance, as the one near Falconwood is in the way of raising cattle and grain. The Park road, after going through the farm, might have an exit to the main road somewhere in front of Mr. Davies’. Then we would have the platform from the streets of the town, to each end of the Park road. If all proper advantages are taken of rises in the ground through the woods, and the beauti. ful birches and beeches that are scattered among the spruce trees, and other natural features, one of the most beautiful little Parks in the Dominion might be made. While walking round the shore, I saw how quickly the banks of earth were crumbling away and keing carried into the harbor, and an idea came into my head by which all this waste might be very easily stopped. If the bank of earth, instead of being a very Steep incline and top-heavy with trees hanging over the crest, was hoed down un- ul the slope was jess than an angle of forty- five degrees, then grass and moss would naturally grow on the incline, and the frost Would have no power of rolling down the earth. A log might be Isid all round the base of the bank to keep the very high Udes from lapping the foot of the bank. This idea could be easily corried out by all farmers who have farms touching on any Of the rivers, Yours, éc., &.,

THE BEAUTIES OF WASHINGTON—THE PRESIDENT. AL CONVENTION— HENRY RELIGIOUS EDUCATION,

Wasnineton, D. C., May 15, 1876. People may abuse Washington if they please, but it is decidedly, the handsomest city in the world. Apait from my own Opinion in this matter, founded upon ob.» servations of all the capitals and chief cities assertion by Don Pedro of Brazil, whose sterling good sense and astute abservations, entitle his opinions to much weight. is reported to have said, that Washington, though now comparatively in its infancy. | will vie in the beauty of its streets, its sax lubrious climate, its beautiful situation, and the scenery by which it is surrounded, with

| tinued to improve, as it has within the past few years, (as he was informed) in a short

- : | time it would far outrival th Kent Street, | the most famous

capitals of the old world, The inhabitants here may grumble as

;much as they will about the burdens of

but the old story, * let him who dances pay the fiddler,’ would seem to be applicable to the residents of this surpas- singly beautiful town. If the people will have a beautiful town they must pay for it ; and while it is all the style to hurl anathe.~ mas, loud and deep, at Boss Shepherd, as he is called—who inaugurated and pressed to completion most of these improvements —it is much to be doubted if, in reality they do not thank bim, and would be very unwilling to return to the narrow pave~ ments, muddy streets, and dark alleys to

| Which they had been formerly accustomed. | | And yet it does seem hard, that the Wash-

ingtoniaas should have to pay so largely for

what every American has a right to be |

Let an American millionaire be travelling in Europe, and he is met by one who says, ‘‘ ] am told your capital is becom. ing one of the handsomest cities in the it would be but natural that he should feel proud of the compliment. But should he be asked if be had contributed anything towards its improvement and pre» sent grandeur, it would be rather mortify~ ing to be compelled te answer no. It is true Congress does aftord an occasional grant, and, but it should be borne in mind: that in the original contract with the states of Virginio and Maryland, the Government took care of itself, and so arranged matters, that each alternate square was public pro- perty, and the most of these have been sold atau enormous profit by the Government. Beside, the Government pays no taxes, which, if it did on all its property, it would leave the citizens but little te complain of.

Politics, just now, seem to rule the hour, though the contest has not, by any means, reached the climax that is anticipated. Both parties seem for the nonce to be broken up into factions, each having its preference for the candidacy for the Prsi- dential nomination. Of the 410 votes so far chosen in the twenty states, and three territories which have held Republican con- ventions, the New York JZribune classifies them as follows: Blaine 134, and 100 will give their votes for him after the first ballot ; Morton 55, and claims 90; Conklin, 97; Hartranft, 58 ; Bristow, 48 ; Hays, 44; Jewell, 10. On the Democratic side, Tilden is said to have 118 votes; Hendricks, 30, from In~ diana, and claims 58 from Pennsylvania; Bayard has a possible six from Connecticut. The New York J/erald cast up thus: On the second ballot at Cincinnati, Blaine, 310; Conklin, 288; Morton, 224 ; Bristow, 100. The vote of Ohio is conceded to Hayes. The game paper thinks that the South is pretty well divided between Tilden and Hendricks, and figures up 294 votes for the former and 252 for the latter. This all looks very fair on paper, as the saying is, but how it will result is difficult to determine.

Mx. Eprror,—On the least sniff of a poli- tical contest, they are all ahoy—even as they were in the days of the old fortune barrel-maker,when Randal suffered martyr- dom in Georgetown for his faith in the Captain and his determined honesty on the Land Question. But it is astonishing, even in the this nineteenth century, how much mischief one or two miserable political hacks can do in a community. We have got a new road opened from St. Peter’s to Priest Pond. It is fifteen years since it was commenced, and there is only nine miles of it fairly in use, that is from Nau, frage to St. Peter's. From Bear River to Priest Pond is nearly completed at a cost to the country of more than a thousand dollars, and we hope in six weeks to see it fairly finished as it is indispensible to some of the settlers on the east of Bear River. There is still a mile and half, with an additional half mile of an el- bow preserved by the primitive, strudy B.’s, who turned the surveyor bac when he commenced to runit from Bear River to Naufrage three years ago. They are de- termined that it shall run below, on their farns, where it will be located on a beantiful dry young sandhill, where the empty cart is a full load. How- ever, they intended getting up 4 pe- tition to compell old boreas to blow from the south in future; and drive the sand into the sea, so that the road may again become passable. in the meantime, how~ ever, they are not content with compelling the public to travel, or struggle rather, through their sandhills; but held a meeting last week at Black Bush, and are now going round with petitions to turn (practically to stop) the road from Bear River to Black Bush. 1 can easily understand the object of H. McD., in wishing to keep the road as of old, close by his liquor store. But | can- not comprehend how our P. P. should be taking such an active part in opposing the intrests and wish of so many of his parish-~ ioners, as he must be aware that the chapel road will be kept open, and, that wherever the road runs, it will not detain a single individual at home, that wishes to attend mass, The b’s., | know, are liable to a very violent and distressing disease—Elections fobia. One of its fits is just beginning to take them now. People who are acquaint> ed with the symptoms avoid them, but strangers and simpletons are often bit by them. I would like to ask parties who got up the petition, how many names they got from Bear River to Priest Pond. It is eight miles. Did they get eight bona fide settlers names there—the only place vitally interested in the road, Are there names on it of men who never saw it: of men from East Point; men from the Bay ; men from Summerside: men from Judick in Cape Breton, the ultima thule of civilization? For they have gone far, very far, for names to put to their tyrannical petition. Conservative and Liberal Governments have both supported the new road, so that you would think it

He and several competent workinen will attend to the wants of the public in that County. — The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported, viz :— American Hickery, Oak, Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, etc., ete. The iron will be of the best English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability. Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted by a first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public. N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call. and they will be treated courteously and fairly dealt with. All kinds of REPAIRING, including Mowing Machines, done. Prices Moderate; Terms
