OUCASIONAL NOTES,

[BY AUSTER. }

Our excellent and most practical Premier in his happier days, before the naughty and ungrateful Opposition became ‘ferocious’ and actually had the bardihood to attack him, used to delight his hearers upon the Ministerial benches Ly his apparent grasp of geographical nomenciature in respect to the Pacific Railway route. The readers of his speeches became familiar with Sheban- dowan, Windegoostigan, Keewatin, Kam- inistiquia and Mequaquon, and Tete Jaune Cache, Chilcotin, Yeilow Head Pass, and the two Saskatchewans were like household words, The last session, however, disap< pointed those who hung upon his utter. ances, vague though they were, with a cers tain kind of pleasure, such as one feels, but cinnot describe in reading —

“From Aroar to Nebo and the wild Of southmost Abarim, in Hesebon And Horonaim, Seon’s realm beyond Uhe flowery dales of Sibma, clad with vines, And Eleale to the Asphaltic pool.’’

Any one attempting to follow precisely the routes giibly indicated in those speeches would have found himseif in a maze as dif: ficult as thatin which Lord Miiton and Doctor Cheadle were entrapped; but it was part of a very well crammed lesson, and if it was a little mixed it answered the purpose. It was, therefore, hardly fair to throw everything upon the Engineers, ex- cept a very bold and limp statement which was deferred until the latest moment, and was in singular contrast to the jaunty, self-assured style of the speeches of pres vious years,

It announced, however, that the line of railway was under contract from Fort.Wil- liam (an ambitious and rather costly paper city on the Kaminist quia, con-isting of sev- eral vacant streets and a siab sided hotel) to Port Savanne on Lac des Mille Lacs, where it is to connect with the route by way of Kainy lake and Fort Frances lock to Keewatin, at the northern end of the Lake of the Woods. From Keewatin to Red River the line is also under contract, and those who are interested in the work were surprised to learn that it was intended to proceed immediately with the construction ct the road from Port Savanne westward to Knglish river, a distance of thirty-five miles. from thence to Keewatin it is stated that the line will not be built for several years to come.

Mr. Mackenzie assures us that the coun- try between Port Savanne and Keewatin is tuil of lakes, ravines, and rocks, and unfit lor settlement. Why, therefore, he has undertaken to build the road from Port Sayanne to English river, except for tne purpose of spending money needlessly, it is impossible to tell, and he is careful not to explain,

My friend has had his attention drawn to this inexplicable proceeding by the speech of Mr. Mackenzie at the meeting at Forest, in which he says :—*' We have con- tracts to English river—116 miles—from Fort William westward,’’ and apropos ot this and some Other noticeable matters he permits the publication of

THE LAND STRETCHES.

To English river from Port Savanne our masters are building the road,

For naught that any one now can see but to add to the growing load.

Nothing is there but desert bare, Muskeg and grim defile ;

Beaver and muskrat and desolate mile on mile;

A wilderness drear in a clime severe, be- yond all settlement’s pale,

Where never a show of trade will go till Keewatin is reached by rail.

And of this the Premier ott declares in his bland and pleasing way:

No chance appears for many years, but the jobbers must have their pay.

In reckless haste for needless waste this section has been begun,

And its Fleming’s excuse for a a gross abuse that ‘‘so much more will be done.” Deficits show and taxes grow, but the golds

en stream still flows

From the public tili, whose fobs to fill the future may yet disclose.

A telegraph line was a sharp design, with a heap of ‘‘swag”’ to boot,

But whatever tLe pay it’s thrown away, for its not on the railway route.

Twelve thousand pounds for station grounds, not worth the fifteenth part,

And tor other luxuries ten times more. We are taking a lively start,

Blunder and plunder mark the course of our models of true reform;

They are making hay as best they may, for they scent the coming storm.

With Pharisee scowl and Maw worm howl they stood in the market place,

Thanked God they were not like the Tory lot, but had eminent gifts of grace.

‘“* Put down,’”’ screamed they, “corrupt John A.” and the Liberal party too,

‘¢ Those workers of sin, let us come in, Reiormers through and through.” Profuse in promise, but false and foul with

slandering pen and tongue,

If they’ve saved at the spigot a penny, they’ve squandered ten pounds at the bung.

Three years they waste with spendthrift haste, and now they stand arraigned

The country has lost, and counts the cost, and a parasite pack have gained,

A favorite few of the radical crew their easy fortunes Carve,

For ali the care bestowed elsewhere, out« siders may harg or starve.

From east to west extends the pest.

Foster chisels his score,

/Then Davidson like a vampire sucks, and Oliver asks for more.

TIGNISH ITEMS, The late harbor improvements at Tigs nish Run afford great convenience to the fishermen of this coast. The new break- water has had the effect of deepening the water sufficient to admit vessels drawing seven or eight feet. The range lights lately erected by the Dominion Govern- ment give good satisfaction, and the fish- ing boats can make the harbor without difficulty on the darkest night. Fishing for the past ten days may be called a failure. The mackerel appear to have been plenty enough, but could not be persuaded to take the hook. Codfishing season being now past, the verdict is afailure. The Nova Scotia feet known as the ‘‘Bankers,’’ ail report about half fares, They intend remaining on the grounds this week, and if no improvement takes place soon, will leave with what they have taken. he American mackerel fleet is small in this part of the ‘‘Bay,” there being but twenty sail, half of which are seiners. All report mackerel scarce off shore, and are doing nothing.— Alberton Pioneer,
