Wallace, of York, supporting the amend- ment, got into an angry dispute with Mills, of Bothwell, over the Parnell letter, pub lished in the London 7'imes, and Mills was compelled by the Speaker to withdraw his reflections on Wallace.

ANNEXATION,

Nova Scotia's Manifest Destiny.

Kesolution in the Legislature.

Harrax, April 21,

The Nova Scotia Legislature afforded a sensation when a resolution was introduced favoring annexation to the United States. Premier Fielding in moving the series of resolutions Gwelt at length on what he re- garded ag Neva Scotia’s grievances in the Confederation. Her past efforts to secure redress failing to secure which there was nothing leff but to raise the standard of secessior. The péeple were overwhelm- ingly for repeal in June but in February rey ersed their verdict, and thereby struck a fatal blow at the repeal movement. The result was bitter diappointment to his Gov- ernment. They only thing they could now do was to demand increased subsidy fvom the Dominion and improved trade re- lations, and if these were refused again an appeal to the people probably by a_ ple- biscite. Jas. A. Fraser was opposed to seeking financial concessions from Canada, and moved an amendmert instructing the Government to take steps for immediate secession. Mr. McColl, member for Pictou, moved another amendment in favor of entirely abandouing the present system of Provincial Government, the sub- stitution of a Provincial Council, composed of county wardens and entire separation from Canada. The first step towards asking the American Government to admit Nova Scotia as a state of the United States, whieh is Nova Scotia’s manifest testing.

Baro Denman moved the rejection of the bill which, he said, was likely to hurry landlord and tenant into ligitation.

Lord Asiborne said the bill, if passed, would prove a great check to evictions.

A Sad Death.

MR. MUNRO, OF WALLACE, N. 8., DROPS DBAD IN THE SITTING ROOM OF THE RANKIN HOUSE WHILE AWAITING BREAKFAST APOPLEXY THE CAUSE,

& Stevens, Quarrymen, Wallace, N.8., ar- rived on the Island on business for the tira last Monday, and took up his quarters at the Rankin House. He wasa big strong healthy looking man, about forty years of age and married. Strictly ~ temper- ate in his habits and of a genial disposition, he was a favorite with the other guests of the house. He moved about town and at- tended to his business, never complaining of being tired or unwell. Last evening he was in company with M. P. Hogan, Esq., an old acquaintance, and was apparently in excellent health. He retired = ito rest at the usual hour,nothing unusual be- ing noticable about him. This morning he came down stairs about eight o'clock, and with several other guests assembled in the sitting-room awaiting the breakfast bell. He conversed with those about him and looked well and happy. About a quarter past eight he gave two or three convulsive shudders, threw his head back and _ fell from the sofa upon which he was sitting. The gentlemen present at first supposed he had fallen ina fit and moistened his lips with water and chafed his hands. One of the guests, Mr. Whitébone, of St. John, N. B., felt his pulse and at once saw that it was no faimt but death. Dr. Gillis, of Summerside, who was in his dressing room at the time, was hurriedly summoned. On arriving and looking at the man he alse pronounced him dead. Dr. Beer, who had been

scene. Pending arrival of Coroner McLeod and the holding of an inquest, the remains | were removed te the reception room. On| the Coroner’s arrival, he consulted with | Mr. Davies, the proprietor of the Rankin, and with Dr. Gillis, who, as before stated, was on the scene afew minutes after the sad occurrence, and after ascertaining all | the facts of the case, arrived at the conclu- sion that death was from apoplexy, and that an inquest was unnecessary. The un- f.rtunate man’s relatives have been com-

forwarded to Wallace for interment.

The Jubilee Ball.

Tue Victoria Jubilee Club held their ball, as announced, at the Ryan mansivn, Rochfurd Street, last evening. Great preparations had been made for the event which was on the tapis for several weeks past. The ball was a very exclusive affair, none but members of the ‘first families’ being invited, and an injunction placed upon all ‘* white folk.” For some reason or another the usual courtesies were net extended the press, but notwithstand- ing this fact Tue EXAMINER managed to sandwich in a representative. He was charmed with what he saw, and furnishes us with an elaborate report of the entire proceedings, which report, we regres to say, we are unable to publish in full to-day. However, we will do our best to place the entire affair in a concise manner, so that he who runs may read,

At an early hour in the evening there was much exeitement visible among the colered folk. Every-day clothes were being shed, and boiled shirt and superfine suit donned. ‘The line of travel appeared to be in the direction of the residence of Mr. George Ryan—a prominent and popular member of the Jubilee Club— one of a duo of Queen Ann j (or some other Queen) cottages fronting on Rochford Street, and commanding a fine rear view of that popular and sweet-smell- ing resort familiarly known as Government Pond. Much attention had been paid to the ornamenting of the interior of the cot- tage. The ball-room had been handsome- ly decorated with bunting and illuminated with two large kerosene lamps. A curtain tivided the refreshment section from the ball room. The music was furnished by a violinist who made up for lack of musical acquirements by a splendid display of mus- cular power. Highly ‘‘colored” invitations had been extended to two well-known

cal manouvres, but they for some reason or snother declined the honor.

About eight o'clock the proceedings be- gan, President Mils and Secretary Car- penter opening with brief addresses. | \fter the speeches dancing commenced, snd was continued with much vim and energy until about one o’clock this morn- ing when luncheon was served. The table was spread in grand style reflecting every credit upon the nanagement.

During the evening several accidents or incidents occurred to which we shall briefly refer. One of the lamps exploded and during the excitement which ensued, the new coat of one of the dancers was spoiled and he threatened to bring a suit for damages against the club. Another gentleman present had some unpleasant- ness with his better’half as a result of which, after he had made up, he was ob- liged to kiss his wife before the. whole com- pany in order to show that ** no ill-feeling existed.’ The belle of the ball was unques- tietlably the buxom young lady who wore the white bouquet and the regulation ball slippers.

Taken for all in all the ball may be said to be a decided success both from a finan- cial and social point of view, and it is doubtless but the precurser of many more events of a similar nature.

The Salvation Army Defended.

Sin,—In your issue of the 20th re appeared a communication, which was alike remarkable for want of truthfulness,obscen- | ity and cowardice.

On Sunday last. the Salvation Army | marched down to the East End, not for the first time, nor was therea free fight, nor were the banners retained by the victors. The facts are briefly these: While the Army was marching, two youths the worse of liquor, snatched at the flag that Mr. Mce- Coubrey was carrying, and tore it-off the pole, it was only a small flag tacked te the pole, no blows were struck, and the Army having recovered the flag, proceeded. In the Army are seen all grades and ranks of society, many of the soldiers belonging to our most respected families, all are fol- lowers of the same Master who is no re- specter of persons. As to the order in the barracks, it is almost as good as the order in the churches, and, considering that it is crowded to its utmost limit, one can scarce- ly help wondering that there is not muvre disurder. Since the Salvation Army have come here, the offcers have been watched by a hundred jealous eyes, every word or act has been noted, but never have any of the officers whether in line or out of it,done anything which could be constructed into immodesty.

The most contemptible of men are cowards. The man who will attack and attempt to defame the cl.aracter of de- fenceless women; the man who will sneak and try to hide himself behind an alias, not daring to put his name to his devilish allegations, (for well he knows that his name would be pronounced with disgust and his company avoided by all true men) | this kind of man or devil is the most con- ‘temptible; it makes one’s blood boil to | think that it is possible for such a being to | carry on his hellish work and yet go un- | scathed; and if one spot is hotter than an- other in hell, there should such a character | be sent.
