PE PRESENTATIVI

Sexvatorns Monroomeny and Hay- THORNE are no longer members of the Legislative Council ; and Senator Havi- land now stands alone——the one rt i ing dual representative of l’rince Edward Island.

Senator Haviland holds a singular, as

well asa falec, position. A member of

the Upper House—the I! of Lord

of the Dominion Parliament, he is yet 4 representative of the borough of George- town in the small Assembly of the small est Province in the Union. Entitled to hold a seat—if ealled to it—in the Cab- inet of Canada, he yet consents to act a subordinate part in the Local Govern- little Island. Extremes

The extreme of politi- |

ment of this sometimes meet, eal greatness and politica! insignificance: has certainly met in the person of Sena tor-Provincial Secretary Haviland.

But Senator-Provincial Secretary | viland’s position is not oaly false and singular, it is also inconsistent with his own declared principles. i-ast winter, it will be remembered, Mr, ilaviland —do- ing his duty as a member of the Local Assembly —framed, introduced, and en- deavored to obtain the passage of an Act by which “dual representation” would have been made were his views on the subject ; so deeply

So decided was he impressed with the belief thst dual representation is vicious in practice so well was he convinced that it was ini mical to the “ Independence of Parlia- ment,” that he tried his best to abolish it altogether. Senator-Provinetal land’s position is not singular and inconsistent with his own principles--expressed in a Draft Bill which he framed, introduced, and endeavored to have passed —it is also inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution. The Constitution contemp!ates the perfect in- dependence, within certain defined limits, of each Provincial Legislature; and the perfect independence within certain d fined limits of the Genera! Parliament. Both have thei form—their distinct privileces to uphold —and neither may trench upon the duties and privileges of the other. . member

all this bountiful expanse of free and fer- tile soil, where babies are at a premium, is evidently just as much England as Shrops shire or Devonshire. Is it not clear, then, where the remedy lies for low wages and agricultural strikes? We ought to people this Transatlantic Albion, thus making it more and more English. And when it is seen how strong the feeling of attachment remains towards the home country, states» men ought not to found colonial policy on | a cold equity or cut-and-dried formalism towards our great oftshoots. They ought to value and use this warm sympathy, this natural affection of nations ; they ought to seek justand judicious methods of giving it political expression, Commercial and local interests may meanwhile be kept Canada looks after her own con- cerns quite as sharply as we, and so do the

SCHOOLS OF AGRICULTURE.

The following words—spoken by Lieut. Govern or Tilley at the close of the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition—might, with great propriety, be addressed to the peo-~ ple of this Island :—

“In closing this exhibition we should come to some resolution which would be beneficial to us in the future. We should decide upon an arrangement of matters that would lead to a very great improve ment both in the material and the manner of conducting these shows. There are vars ious ways in which such a result might be produced. One of the most important of these, is to devise means for bringing to our Province a good class of agriculturists, and thus increase that part of our population. He had noticed by the census that the agriculturists were in proportion to the population more numerous than those en- gaged in any other industry. We should

Australian Colonies ; but the same sincere

love of England prevails in Sydney and |

Melbourne as in Quebec, though they may think our politics old-fashioned, and live their own public life at a pace which would seem breathless here. We repeat that this ardent and ineradicable affection for the Mother Country to which Lord Dufferin bears such glad witness in the Dominion, is a force not half enough studied or appre- ciated by our public men. It ought to be met with hearty signs of estimation and reciprocity; It ought to be cultivated the truest and richest fruit of our work in founding these young empires; and, s0 met and so cultivated, it would at no dis- tant day furnish the basis for an alliance in which England might trust

employ means to increase this proportion | as speedily as possible. By attracting emis | grants to our Province, we would do much | to advance our agricultural interests ; but | there was a way in which we could do |much more. Oneof the reasons why the | improvement in agriculture was so slow, is that our farmers do not sufficiently consi. | der their position, nor take the standing | in the community which they are entitled

to occupy. Some persons might ask what

rE eflect that could have. Young men are gm

. | naturally ambitious, and seek those occu-

pations,in which they see the best chances for advancement. Some go into the army, | others enter the learned professions. and | more are enticed into the more lucrative | engagements of commerce. But few are inclined to remain on the farm, and most | of those who do remain are compelled to |; doso. An effort should be made to in- | duce young men to go into agricultural occupations. The best way to secure this end is to establish an agricultural college, | with a model farm attached, in which the young men from all sections of the Pros vince might come and obtain a thorough education. This would at once elevate the social status of the farmer, and produce the most beneficial results in the Province. Our public men could turn their attention to no better work than the encouragement of such an undertaking.” 2 ++ <= -< me A MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION A7

A Copenhagen correspondent of the Lons |don Zimes says the Norwegian papers are | publishing the following tale of almost mi- raculous preservatiou at sea :-—

The captain of the schooner Amazon, of

| Stavanger, recently arrived at Bergen with |a cargo of salt, reports that in passing the | British Channel he had the opportunity of | saving & British lad of fifteen under very | peculiar circumstances. The Amazon was | about twelve geographical miles from the | British shore, when the captain thought he observed through his telescope something floating in the water. He altered his course so as to get nearer, and soon discovered a small boat, in which a lad was lying fast asleep. The shouting from the schooner did not awaken him, but when a small log was thrown over into the boat he awoke | with a sudden start ; an end of a line was thrown to him, and he was just able to fas. ten it when he swooned, and had to be cars ried on board the vessel. In the boat no. | thing was found buta pair of oars and a Bible. ‘The lad, when brought back to life and strength by the tender care shown to him, gave the following account of his fate : He was sitting on the shore, reading his sible, when some of his companions came down to him and teased him with the man- ner in which he spent his leisure time. To escape from their banter he got into a boat, and kept on reading, when suddenly he dis covered, to his great dismay, that his per- secutors had cut the line and left his frail boat to the power of the quick-running ebb. I{e tried to use the oars, but struggled in vain against wind and water, and,as a dense fog set in, he soon lost sight of land. After | several hours alternate struggling and pows | erless despair he fell asleep, and sleep res | mained, in fact his only comfort against | hunger, cold, and the deep pangs of his isos | lation during the three days and_ three nights which he had spent in his frail boat, when he was was at last seen and saved. Unhappily, neither the name of the lad nor the place where his parents live is given, but that will I suppose, not ke difficult to get at when the facts obtain your wide pub- licity.

I. gLAND’s New Constiturion —The new constitution for Iceland, granted by King Christian IX, on the occasion of the recent millenial celebration, provides for a nation. al legislature, to be called the Althing, consisting of an upper house of twelve members, six of them nominated by the King and six elected by the lower house. To the latter branch thirty members are elected by the people, and from this nums ber six members of the upper house are chosen by a meeting of the two houses in general session. For members of the lower house all farmers who pay taxes, all resi- dents of towns who pay a municipal tax of four rix dollars, all fishermen who pay taxes, all public functionaries, and all graduates of institutions of learning have aright to vote. Voters must be twenty- five years of age, have a good character, and must have resided in their voting dis- tricts at least a year without receiving sup- port from the poor law fund. The Althing meets at Reikjavik on the first worhing day of July in every second year. Its ses- sions are limited to six weeks, and two- thirds of each house constitute a quorum, It has exclusive contro] of taxation, and no funds can be taken from the treasury ex- cept through its action. During the ses- sion no member can be arrested for dekt, or proceeded against at law unless taken in the actual commission of crime. The crown appoints a Governor of Iceland, and there will be a minister for Iceland in the Danish Cabinet, and a Government Come missioner to sit in the Al/hing, and furnish documents and explanations, These offi. cers will be paid by Iceland, but no con- tribution will be made to the Danish Trea- sury. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is to be perfectly free. Freedom of the press is absolute without censorship. The right te hold public meetings is guaranteed. All special rights of nobility. such as titles and dignities, are null. The King can suspend the execution of laws, and can decree laws ad interim, which must be laid before the Althing, but cannot be annulled without his consent.—N.Y. Swi.
