Cast your eye in imagination on the map, and you will observe a strait connecting the chain of lakes below with Lake Superior Our gov ernment has dug a small canal for the pur poses of navigation, obliterating the falls of St. Mary. It was not thought of much sig- nificance when built. Its navigation would oniy supply the frozen regions of the North and the shores of Lake Superior, the vessels to pass through it carrying up tk ols, such as the settlers wanted, some necessaries mayhap and other scpplies, and bringing back perhaps some furs and a little lumber—almost doubtfal experiment at best. But let us see how much is needed in that sterile country of the far Northwest. In 1SS8 that canal carried north aud brought articles and pro- ductions which are most needful for the sup- port of the human race, including 25,000,000

And, again :

“‘ If Disraeli had made the Queen of Great Britain Empress of Canada, which he would have done if he h ad consi lered the facts as we are about to discuss them, and the relation of Can ada to the rest of Great Britain, so that the British Empire would indeed have been like in extent to the empire of Rome. Em- press of India, indeed! There is room for three British Indian possessions within the Dominion of Canada, and enough territory left over out of which the area of Great Britain might be five times taken. Modern empires are pigmies to it, for there is room in Canada to carve out nine German empirea. ** Victoria, Empress of Canada! If the Dominion can be held in the future genera- tions, which are but hours in the lifetime of uations, the English Empress would be the ruler of the greatest and most powerful English speaking people, civilized and Christianized, such as nowhere exists now, / mu : in the future if the laws by which the growth of nations continue, under wich they have been laid out and begun.”

-_ 2-o +e Notes and Comments.

—A chainee in the pers ymnel of the Guardian Publishing Company has resu't ed ia the enlargement of the paper and the employment of Mr. B. D. Higgs as manag- ing editor. It is announced that the journal will be continued ‘‘on the same lines as were laid down by its late lament- ed founder.” We are particularly pleased to note that it is not in sympathy with those who whine about Canada and the position of this Province. It says:

** Our own little Province, owing te its in- sular position, has received less benefit from the union than any other portion of the Do- minion; but, notwithstanding, it is wonder- fully advancing, though perhaps Confedera- tion deserves not all the credit.”

We hope to have the Guardian's asaist- ance in developing the idea of continuous communication with the Mainland, winter and summer, and 60 overcoming, as much as possible, the disadvantages of ‘our in- sular position.” In that case we shall the more sincerely wish success to the Guar- dian aud its plucky young editor.

—The Patriot regards THe Examiner’s ““attack” upon ‘its few innocent re- marks ’’ as ‘lame’ That THe Examiner did not denounce the Patriot's false and un- pare teaching as vigorously as it might lave done, istrue. But then it seemed doubtful that the game was worth the pow- der; and besides the Patriot may even yet stop whining ard proveed to business.

THE DAILY |

An Amateur Firebug’s Outfit

FOUND IN A BARN ON 8T. PETER’S ROAD- DESCRIPTION OF THE APPAKRATUS-—-NO CLUE ro THE OWNER,

On Wednesday afternoon, while Mr. Wim. Cottin, who resides on St. Peter's Road, a short distance beyond the railway crossing, was looking through a barn recently pur- chased by him and which he contemplated having removed to a position nearer his residence, he came across a clock fitted up ala **infernal machine,” the finding of which caused him no little uneasiness and alarm. He brought the clock to the city and bad it examined by Mr. G. H. Taylor, watchmaker and jeweler.

The clock was an ordinary American alarm time-piece, about twelve inches high

and six inches wide, and could be pro- cured at any watchmaker’s store tor about $2.25. The alarm bell was re-

moved and in its place was a small block of wood covered with sandpaper. Attached to the hammer which strikes the bell were tive matches, so arranged as to rub against the sandpaper und ignite when the alarm went off. The alarm could be set to vo off at any time. When found, the alarm was wound and set for twenty minutes to twelve, but the clock had not been up. There was no fuse or other combus- tible matter, excepting the matches, at- tached. The supposition is that it was not intended to use the clock for some time, and that it was merely placed in the barn for safe keeping. There was a quantity of machinery and some hay in the barn at the time. Tne clock was found near the hay. Chere were no marks about the clock to in- dicate ownership, or that would throw any light as to where it was purchased.

“A clock such as that described, suitably titted up with combustible material, and so srranged as to go off during the night in a barn or outbuilding, would do a good deal of harm in a very short time. We sincerely trust that the owner of the apparatus wil be will receive the punis':ment he deserves.

wake is civilizing the Orth- ;odex christianity could never do it. Let us recognize the advantages thus

eiven, and unite with science all the beauties and good of every system, only secking to preserve the true and noble, and discard the superstitions and errors. May we so live that the world will be the bet- ter for oar being in it.

At the conclusion of the lecture, an op- portunity was given for debate.

Mr. D. McKinlay, of North River, oc- cupied a short time in discussing the ques- tions raised, and Mr. Watts replied briefly —merely suggesting that the speakers would confine themselves to the subject under discussion. His arguments were, he said, not even questioned by the previous

speakers. Calls for Rev. S. G. Lawson caused that gentleman to mount the platform He

shook hands heartily with Mr. Watts, and quoted a number of passages from Scrip- ture, proving that Christianity was not op- posed to, but rather an assistant to science. In his concluding reply, Mr. Watts dealt with Mr. Lawson,contendingthathehad not mentioned one of the passages read by the lecturer to which it was impossible for man to comply with, and stated that not one scientist could be named who was an or- thodox christian. An arrangment was then made for a set debate to-night, on ‘* The Bible and Inspiration,” between these two gentlemen, Mr. Watts condensing his _lec- ture fer that purpose. This will conclude Mr. Watts present engagement in this city. CoM.

It is pleasing to see a steamer like the Princess Beatrice on the route between Charlottetown and Halifax. When shall we see an equally good boat coasting along the south of this Province and the north of New Brunswick with Charlottetown as its headquarters’ The pre-eminent advan- tages possessed by Charlottetown as a point of distribution to and from this and the ad- joining Provinces should be utilized as soon as possible.
