HECTOR McLEAN, vs. LANDS OF MICHAEL QUINN, Deceased.

BY, virtue of a writ of Statute Execution to me directed, issued out of Her Majesty’s Supreme Court of Judicature, at the suit of Hector Mc- Lean against the lands of Michael Quinn, de- ceased, Ihave taken and seized as the lands of the said Michael Quinn, all the right, title and interest of the said Michael Quinn, deceased, in and toall that tract, piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being on Lot or Township Number Twenty-two, in Queen’s County, in Prince Edward Island, bounded as follows :— Commencing at a square post fixed on the east side of the West Settlement Road, at the south boundary of land leased to Thomas Dwyer, and now or lately in the possession of Peter Mc- Iimeal ; thence running on said boundary east fifty-two chains and seventy-five links; thence south nine chains and fifty links; thence west fifty-two chains and seventy-five links to the said road ; thence along the ccurse of said road north nine chains and fifty links to the place of com- mencement, containing by estimation Fifty Acres of Land ; and I do hereby give Public Notice that I will, on TUESDAY, the Twenty-third day of October, A. D. 1888, at Twelve o’clock, noon, at the Court House in Charlottetown, in the said County, set up and sell by Public Auction, the above described property, or as much thereof as will satisfy the levy marked on said Writ, being Four Hundred and Thirty-six Dollars and Seventy-six Cents, debt and costs, w'th interest on Two Hundred and Seventy-five Dollars from the Nineteenth day of March, A. D. 1888, at ten per centum per annum until paid, besides Sherift’s fees and all incidental expenses.

Epwarp J. Hopason, Esq., G. C., Pltff’s Atty.

Gothic and Scandinavian origin, she might have seemed a descenned Vision of Freya, the spouse of the Thandering Deity, before whom some bold Sea King or champion bent with an awe, which, no mere mortal terror could have inflicted upon him. Brenda, overwhelmed with imexpressible fear and doubt, remained a pace’ or two behind, anxiously observing the motions of Cleveland, and attending to noth- ing around, save to him and to her sister.

Cleveland approached within two yards of Minna,’ and bent his head to the ground. There was a dead pause, until Minna said, in a firm but melancholy tone, ‘‘ Unhappy man, why didst thou seek this aggravation of our wo?, Depart in peace, and may Heaven direct thee to a better course than that which thy life has yet held.”

** Heaven will not aid me,” said Cleveland, “excepting by your voice. IL came-hither rude and willl, scarce knowing that my trade, my desperate trade, was more criminaiin the sight of man or of Heaven, than that of those privateers whom your law acknowledges. 1 was bred init, and, but for the wishes you have encouraged me to form,-I should have perhaps died in it, desperate and impenitent. Oh, do not throw me from you! let me do something to redeem what I have doue aniiss, and do not leave your own work half-finished.”

‘* Cleveland,” said Minna, ‘‘I will not re- proach you with abusing my inexperience, or with availing yourself of those delusions which the credulity of early youth had flun around me, and which !ed me to confoun your fatal course of life with tne deeds of our ancient-herees... Alas! when I saw your followers, that illusion was no more !—but I do not upbraid you with its having existed. Go, Cleveland; detach yourself trom those miserable wretches with whom you are as- sociated, and believe me, that if Heaven yet grants you the means of distinguishing your name by one good or atom action, there are eyes left in these loncly islands, that will weep as much for joy—as—they must now do for sorrow.”

‘* And is thisall?” said Cleveland; ‘‘ and may not I hope, that if I extricate myself from my present associates—if [can gain my pardon by being as bold _.in the right, as I haye been too often in the wrong cause —if, after a term, I care not how long—but still a term which may have an end, I can boast of having redeemed my fame— muy I not—may I not hope that Minna may forgive what my God and my country shall have pardoned ?”

‘* Never, Cleveland, never!” said Minna, with the utmost firmness ; “on this spot we part, and part for ever, and part without longer indulgence. Think of me as one dead, if you continue as you now are ; but if, which may Heaven grant, you change your fatal course, think of me then as one, whose morn- ing and evening payers will be for your happi- ness, though she has lost her own.—Farewell, Cleveland !”

He kneeled, overpowered by his own bitter feelings, to take the hana which she held out to him, and in that instant, his confidant Bunce, starting from behind one of the large upright pillars, his eyes wet with tears, ex- claimed—.

‘* Never saw such a parting scene on any stage ! But I'll be d—d if you make your exit as you expect |”

And so saying, ere Cleveland could employ either remonstrance or resistance, and indeed before he could upon his feet, he easily secur- ed him by pulling him down on his back, so that two or three of the boat’s crew seized him by the arms and legs, and began to hurry him towards the lake, Minna and Brenda shrieked, and attempted to fly: but Derrick snatched up the former with as much ease as a falcon pounces on a pigeon, while Bunce, with an oath or two which were intended to be of a consolatory nature, seized on Brenda ; and the whole party, with two or three of the other pirates, who, stealing from the water- side, had accompanied them on the ambus- cade, began hastily to run towards the buat, which was left in charge of two of their num- ber. Their course, however, was unexpectedly interrupted, and their criminal purpose en- tirely frustrated.

When Mertoun had turned out his guard in arms, it was with the naturnal purpose of watching over the safety of the two sisters.

tax is paid in this caseean only be aflirmed on two grounds: First, that all the. wocllen clothing worn in this country is manufactured in large establishments, or else is imported; and second, that that which is manufactured in the large manufacturies, notwithstanding the competition of imported goods, pays the tariff that is put on exportett articles. But

WILL THAT BE REMEDIED

by unrestricted reciprocity, which is to open up’a channel of trade between this countiy and the United States? How will the tax be taken off the woollens worn-by the farmers, or the other materials he uses for his wear, since in the United States a heavier tax is imposed on these articles than iz imposed here? We are asked to enter into cammercial relations with & country which has a higher tariff than we have, and in the name of, common sense I would ask how then afte the taxes here- to be lowered? The proposition falls to the ground of its own weight: first, that the poor man

(pays the tax ; and second, that the tax will be

taken off if unrestricted reciprocity be the rule. But the hon. gentleman says that it will suit Great Britain and the United States, and my hon, friend was not content with drawing a picture of this country in hues of the very blackness of despair, but he must needs have his fling at the mother country as well. And in these days of troublous times, when forces are at work which at any time may create a great conflagration, the outcome of which no man can at present see, and when even the utterances of men in a Parliament of this kind, have their effect more or less in the wide world in which they are read, the hon. gontomen must go out of his way to taunt reat Britain with having no ally on the continent of Europe among the first-class wers. Sir, the position of Great Britain as been well-taken and well-maintained in the past. The institutions of Britain are, to-day, stronger than ever they were before; the power of the Anglo-Saxon race the wide world over, is as great as ever, while the spirit of enterprise of our race displayed around this whole globe of ours, and which strengthens and enobles the British power, taken collect- ively as a whole, has never been manifested te greater perfection than it is to-day.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL TAKE GOOD CARE TO HOLD HER PROUD POSITION,

and it was not manly or statesmanlike in the hon. gentleman, occupying the position he does, to question in this House her ability to retain the great influence she has always exercised in European affairs. But supposing Great Britain has no ally among the first-class powers in Europe, does the hon. gentleman propose to make for her an ally of the United States, and to embrvil the United States in the European entanglements which affect Great Britain alone? Does he think that the United States, which have kept themselves religiously aloof from European entangle- ments, will make an alliance with Great Britain, and thus run the risk of involving themselves with Great Britain in all the European complications that are liable to rise at any moment? What influence the great powers of reasoning of the hon. gentleman may have on the government of the United States in this respect, I cannot say, but judg- ing from the specimens of his logic we have heard here within the last twenty-four hours, I am inclined to think his arguments will not stir the United States from the position they have hitherto maintained. What a fine method that would be of making an ally for the mother country, by putting ourselves in commercial union with the United States, aad raising a discriminating tariff wall against our mother land. The proposal does seem odd. There may be some abstruse meaning in it that we vannot seize, but of which the hon. mem- ber for South Oxford is fully aware. But he says, we will not discriminate largely aguinst Great Britain, and this afternoon I think I heard himsay that our trade with Great Britain would be actually improved. Just analyze that for a moment. Here are 5,000,- 000 of Canadians, here is an open channel of trade between Canada and the United States, and here is an hon. gentleman asserting that the trade between the two countries will grow to $300,000,000 a year.

many of them leave the boat and steal to- wards the place of rendezvous assigned to Cleveland, they naturally suspected treachery and by cover of an old hollow way or trench which perhaps had anciently been connected with the monumental circle, they had thrown themselves unperceived between the pirates ‘and their boat. At the cries of the sisters ' they started up, and placed themselves

lin the way of the ruffians, presenting their ‘pieces, which, notwithstanding, they dare not fire, tor fear of hurting the young ladies, secured as they were inthe rude grasp of the marauders. Mordaunt, bowever advanced with the speed of a wild deer on Bunce, who loath to quit his prey, yet unable to defend himself otherwise, turned to this side and that alternately, exposing Brenda to the blows which Mordaunt offered at him. This defence, however, proved in vain against the youth, possessed of the lightest foot and most active hand ever knows in Zetland, and after a feint or twc, Mordaunt brought the pirate ‘to the ground with a stroke from the butt of the carabine, which he dared not used otherwise.

re

Between the United States and this country there is no tariff, while between this country and Great Britain there isa tariff of fairly good proportions, say 22 or 25 per cent. We enter this commercial alliance. We create a trade between the two countries that will reach $300,000,000 a year ; and then we grow rich and wax fat and sleek, the hon. gentle- man says he will turnto ourown mother country and import goods from her, on which we will pay the extra customs duty, just for the sake of showing that in the long ran our trade with Great Britain will not suffer. That is a most unreasonable proposition. The cur- reuts of trade, if they be free and advantage- ons to ourselves, will be kept for the sake of the advantages they offer, and it would be proved by the experiment, if the experiment should be ever unfortunately made, that our trade with Great Britain would dwindle to almost nothing, because the odds are against our trading with the country on whose goods we put a tariff of 25 per cent. as com- mas with a country between which and ourselves there is no tariff
