A strange fatality seems to attend the efforts of the present Government in the North West. Disaster follows disaster and | whether this is owing to the fact that ac

tion is taken without anyone acquainted with the wants and circumstances of the country being consulted, or that the sole advica of Mr. D. A. Smith—whose action is inimical to the best interests of | the settlers—is relied on,we do not pretend

to say definitely; perhaps we may reason ably attribute the present aspect of affairs to both causes. Conspicuous among the | failures referred to was the letting the Dawson route contract last year to a firm with no capital, and less suitable experi~ ence, at so late an hour that the first arrival of the contractor at Thunder Bay was coin~ cident with the first batch of emigrant pass« engers.

LITERATURE,

LANKA ALAA ALAA AAA Aan THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH. CHAPTER V.

From the ~>.ment when Ulric left the house of his benefactor, and was settled in that of his employer, he commenced a very diferent life. The youth could no longer follow his inclination as he did before, but sat at his writing-desk from early morning till late in the evening, calculating accounts of the most complicated kind, or writing letters, or making various entries in great ledgers, or whatever else the course of busi« nes: brought with it, all required the most diligent attention. At first Ulric found these duties irksome ; but ina few weeks his perserverance so far prevailed, that it appeared to him as if he had been for year: accustomed to business.

If Ulric had thought or feared that Mr- Schleicher would not treat him well, he now found himself mistaken, Mr. Scilei- cher did, indeed, give him more work todo than the other young men in the office ; but he never said a harsh word; on the contrary, he testified by friendly ex- pressions on various occasions, how much he valued Ulric’s zeal and energy. The youth was surprised at this, and many times acknowledged, in his heart, the wrong he had done Mr. Schleicher in having enters tained an unfavorable opinion of him,

One day, about four weeks after Ulric had entered into business, Martin came to

Le

see him, and to talk to him for a short time.

‘When he first entered Ulric’s room he looked around with astonishment, for he had not expected they would give his favorite (for such indeed Ulric was) so fine an apartment.

‘Very comfortably here, Mr.

well, indeed! You live very

| terfather.

has nothing go elegant as this, Well, I suppose you are quite content herein the city, think old | friends.’

Ulric shook man, and smiling, looked at him full in the face. ‘ You know, Martin,’ he said, ‘ that all the splendor in the world would not compensate me for my little room at home with the view over the Elbe, and with all | the pleasant remembrances that belong to | it. And as to forgetting old friends, — You, at least, old Martin, should be the last to suspect me of it. [lad not Mr. Breiten- bach himself desired that I should only, four times a year, visit him fora couple of days, i should have been with you every evening, in spite of the miles which divide us!’

‘Yes, yes, I know it well,’ answered Martin, and he smiled kindly ‘But now, tell me how you like Hamburg?’

‘Very well,’ replied Ulric, cordially. ‘Certainly, Martin, we have done Mr. Schleicher injustice, when we thought he would behave ill to me. He is always kind and indulgent, and that he gives me so much work only proves he means well by me.’

‘Humph!’ murmured Martin to him» self. ‘It is surprising if ' have been so totally mistaken in the man. Certainly, appearances deceive, and perhaps all may be better than we thought. Lut we shall see. When Mr. Schleicher comes to the house, Mr. Preitenbach’s first question is naturally, ‘Well, how is my ,boy Ulric?’ And then Mr. Schleicher never ceases praising him, and assures him a thousand times that he has never before had so stesdy a young man with him. Iam now come for the express purpose of hearing from your own lips whether Mr. Schleicher is really as satisfied with you as he pro- fesses to be. I see and hear, indeed many things which astonish me! Well’ well, if we have been mistaken in Mr. Schleicher, [ shall be doubly rejoiced on your account, and on his own. But, never- theless, be on your guard, Ulric. Iam an old man, and have seen much, and had experience in the world, and I know very well how often the saying, that ‘ appear- ances deceive,’ hits the right nail on the head. It may be that we have done Mr. Schleicher injustice, or it may also be that he has only put on a hypocritical mask ; but keep your eyes open Ulric. This can hurt no one, but it may be useful to your" self. And now let us talk of something else.’

Martin said: nothing but the truth, when he related the praises which Mr, Schleicher bestowed upon Ulric, whenever he cons versed with his fosterfather concerning him

Aiter these interviews Mr. Breitenbach used to look triumphantly at old Martin, who was always present, as much as to say ‘Now, Martin, who is right ?’

‘You, sir, are right so far,’ old Martin would observe. ‘God grant you may con; tinue to be so, and then! shall rejoice from my heart that I was wrong. But let us see the end of it. The evening of every day is not yet come, and appearances deceive.

of Ulric. The conten: pt and indifference with which he had treated him gave way to a kindness which was too solicitous to be genuine.

‘It is very praiseworthy,’ he observed to Ulric, ‘ that a young pn an who has his way to make in the world, should be industri» ous, and seek to accuire every kind of knowledge; but one n ust not do too much even of what is Look at other young people of your age, Ulric. Without being idle or negligert, they know how to enjoy the pleasures of life, particularly those of society. You,on the other hand, remain alone, and ‘et your youth, the brightest part of 1 », slip away without enjoyment. I dono wish that you sheuld become dissipated or levoted to pleasure but you must mingle « little with men and learn to know them. That is as useful to amerchant as the knowledge of business

rig it.

and of foreign tongtes, for he can do as |

well without the one stheother, 1 mean well to you, and therefore, I tell you cans didly, that I have heard remarks about you which have given ma pain. Your com» panions consider yot a bookworm, and a covetous, proud yong fellow. No one knows better than mvself that you are not such; but they belisve it; and this is not so pleasant to yon o: me, or your kind fos- Shame uyon the caluminators, I say; but truly, appearances are against you. Every one knows that you can have asmuch money as yu wish, and yet you withdraw from all society ; surely, Ulric, for your own sake, y»u should put an end to such idle talk; ard in order that you may come home wi hout difficulty, I will give you the key of the house door, Go sometimes into com).any, and join in some of the amusements of the place; attend the theatre, the bills, the concerts; in short, live for a time like other young peo- ple, and you will soon perceive that you are welcome with with cordiality, whilst now

they seem to avoid your society, and laugh |

at you behind your »ack.’

There was some truth in Mr. Schleicher’s |

words, and Ulric, who had already observed that his companions looked on him with un- friendly eyes, not only expressed himself thankful to his principal, but promised to follow his advice.

\fter Mr. Schleicher had enforced these opinions upon Ulric he retired into his par- himself comfortably in the

lour, seated

corner of the sofa, and smiling maliciously, |

murmured, ‘That wilido good ! Once drawn into the whirlpool of joy, surrounded by idle and vicious young men, when they know how much money he has at command uns icquainted with the world and its seducing

ollies, Ulrie willsink step by step when no

one is near to warn him or to open his eyes. The plan is excellent, and must succeed, My uncle will cast the lad off if he becomes idle and dissipated, and !, who have never treated him with kindness will be blamex less, and remain sole heir of my rich old uncle !’

Ulric was too unsuspicious and unsophis- ticated to perceive the snare which was laid for him. Ile felt grateful to Mr. Sch, leicher, and lamented that he had attributs He followed his advice, and associated more than formerly with his colleagues, but still without falling Ie cast himself without further deliberation into the stream of so- ciety, and sipped from the cup of pleasure which was offered to his lips. Lut he only saw the surface; his good disposition, his piety, his gratitude to Mr. Breitenbach, whom he would not pain for the world, pre- served him from the snare into which Mr. Schleicher had reckoned upon his falling. Often in the night-tim@Mr. Schleicher crept through the chambers and passages of his house to the room in which Ulric slept, and pulling a curtain gently aside, looked with eager eyes through a small window into the sleeping chamber. He hoped to see that bed unoccupied, but he was always disap- pointed. Ulric had made it a rule always to return home at ten o'clock; and he was enjoying refreshing sleep during those hours when Mr. Schleicher hoped he would have been wandering about with dis~ solute young men. Gnashing his teeth with rage and disappointment, Mr. Schlei- cher would return to his room, not however without hoping that Ulric would at length be ensnared.

Thus pass a period of several years with-

out any change taking place in the cireums

stances and persons of our little history, Temptation often presents itself to Ulric,

but he always resisted it, and Mr.Sleicher at length perceived that he must try some other means if he wished to deprive Ulric

of his foster-father’s affection. Tu be continued.

A feeling is gaining ground that events in India are tending towards another re- bellion in the Mahratta districts, which are stated to have become more threaten-

persons were passing over at ors time, and not sufficient accommodation existing for 3U persons to a trip, will never be known. It is a fact easily proven, that en route three children died from exposure, and strong men were seen to weep because they could not obtain food for their children. It was estimated by good authority on the spot that $25,000 would not pay the damage to personal effects of emigrants who passed over that route during those two months, | damage resulting from the want of tarpaus |lin covers to protect baggage from rain. The Hudson Bay Company agent at Fort Francis states that he twice saw boat loads of baggages lying uncovered all night in the rain, and another witness saw several trunks opened at Fort Garry, after a tedi- ous waiting for them, when the entire contents were found destroyed by mildew. And yet the contract is again given to the same men who probably no better precau- | tions for due fulfilment. The present Ad» ministration takes much credit to itself for _its emigration policy. Now, what are the | facts? The Agricultural Department, | which should be under the management of a Minister of modern and progressive ideas, is certainly not so controlled, estimable as | may be the private qualities of the gentle man now presiding over it. This may ac- ‘count for the fact that no documents re- | lating to Canada’s best field for emigration |} can be found when required at any of the | agencies. Time and again have parties been

heard applying in vain st the agencies in

England, Ireland and Canada for such docu-

ments, a result to be expected when we

know that they are furnished only by hun- | dreds when they should be supplied by | hundreds of 4housands, and that the Men- | nenites have to reach their new homes in | Manitoba over the expensive American | route. Another charge which stands prov- /en against the Government is that they have wilfully deceived emigrants into settle- ing in the western part of Manitoba by the exhibition of maps, showing the C. P. R. R. laid down throughit the line being afterwards located far tothe north. It is also charged that they are influenced by speculative in ideas locating that line where lit is,on the northern edge of the fertile | belt, thereby damning it from colonization }and commercial purposes, so that those | interested may operate successfully in town Be this as it may, there is no doubt standing

sites.

location causing a loss of about three weeks _ summer navigation and harborage. It would

PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGE.

CuarLottetown, April 9, 1875.

My Dear Sin:—I amin receipt of your letter of date of 7th inst., in which you re- quest me to give you some information in regard to the state of the Prince of Wales College.

In oompliance therewith I now beg leave to hand you a report of Professor Anderson, the Principal of the Institution, containing an analytical statement, showing the nums ber of students at present in the College, the classes and number of students therein, respectively now being taught in the various departments of Classics, Mathematics, Modern Language, English History etc.,—also showing the number of students admitted, and subjects taught in the College during the previous academical years 1872-3, and 1873-4.

Feom the report it will appear that the number of students admitted during the present academical year, commencing on the 14th September last, has been 70 —the number in actual attendance at the present time being 65. That during the preced ing academical years, above mentioned, the number of students admitted were 51 in each year.

I deem it unnecessary to make any ob- servation as to the present efficient and satisfactory state of the College, the report of Professor Anderson being quite ample on this point.

It is gratifying, however, to be enabled to refer to the concurrent testimony of the Rev. George W. Hodgson, M. A., the Rev. Mr. McRae, M. A., and Duncan McLeod, Esq., B. A., who were appointed by the trustees to conduct the midsummer ex- amination for the years 1872-4, and 1874-5, and whose very able and learned reports ot these examinations, speaking as they do in such high terms of the state of efficiency of the College, and continued progress of the students therein, have been published from time to time in the local newspapers of the Colony.

In regard to the financial condition of the College, I have only to remark that since the order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, of the 5th January 1871, and 26th January 1871, by which all fees arising from the tuition of students in the College are to be paid to the trustees, were com- municated to the Board, those fees have been paid to me, and that, after dis- charging the examination fees, cost of prizes and other necessary expenses, I hold in my hands at the present time, subject to the order of the Government, the sum of o21.33.

' I have the honor to remain, Dear Sir, Yours very respectfully, J. LONGWORTH. Hon. Sec., &c. Hon, L, ©. Owen,

Of these 23 were from the country, I from Nova Scotia and 1 from New Beunswick.

It will be observed from the following analytical statement that there is a pre- paratory class of 13 boys. Now I wish it clearly to be understood that only 7 of these learn the English branches alone; and that the class was formed only after special and repeated requests, and only on the distinctly understood condition that the boys so admitted were to be taught as times could b& found, and so as not to interfere with the regular work of the other classes. These conditions have been carefully observed.

I may also mention that to teach all the classes in my department I am under the necessity of taking classes from eight to nine in the morning and from three to four in the afternoon, while Mr. Lowe teaches beyond the regular hours as well.

| To the Editor of the Examincre | Sir :—It seems that our ( ity Fathers ar very anxious to obtain leave from the Local Covernment, to appropriate a portion of Government Farm fer a City Park. It is hoped, before this takes place, that the civic authorit d, touching t nee, in i iis | city, to becor Lia nee iostead a place of recreation, such as it was intended, A few years ago the Iillsborough Square was managed by a Committee of Citizens, who took pride and } in Oo nt. ing it with tre Ly lat t own expense, and by contributions, succeeded | in causing a flag staff to be erected thereon, |} upon which floated the good old English |Flag. The Hilisborough Park, at that | time, was an ornament to the city. Mems

speeches, as the only spot in Charlotteto | to which they could point with pride and

pleasure, as a place of recreation for strangers and visitors from abroad. Within the last two or three years, this Park has

been taken in charge by the City Council

and through their shameful neglect niall utter disregard, for all that is laudable, they have allowed the ornamental trees to be destroyed by goats and the . to be rooted up by pigs running at large,

the walks to fill up with weeds and the fer

to be broken up and destroyed, and yet {rs sooth, those are the men who seek to be entrusted with the management of a C Park.

Let the Local Legislature pause before they entrust such an incompetent body as the present city Fathers, with the manage~ ment of any property which may require ordinary supervision and car’,

Sir :—I have neither time nor ineiina- tion to enter intoa newspaper controversy on the New Road excitement, in our vici- nity. But there have been certain state- ments made in the Herald, as well as a let~ terin the New Lra, signed “One of the People,” to which I 2m compelled to reply, owing to the bare-faced and falsehoods therein contained.
