A Grievance.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir,—As you have always used your pen boldly and fearlessly in the advocacy of popular rights aud to put down wrongs and oppression, I feel assured that I need only mention a wrong anda great injustice which is being perpetrated upon a portion of the tenants of Lot 48, to draw your sympathies and enlist yonr pen in onr behalf. When the ‘Land Purchase Act 1875” became law it was reason- ably expected that every tenant on P. E. I. would be made free; that every tenant would have equal rights under it; but you may im- agine our dissapointment and chagrin when I inform you that we, ona portion of this Lot, are still in bondage, and are being sued and writted for rent; and what makes the matter doubly grevious is, that within the last few years our rents, in consequence of cer-

tain provisions in our leases, have be- come doubled; and this, with taxes trebled, hard times and bad crops,

is dragging us down to the very verge of ruin. We have applied to Beer and McGill, and all we can get is promises—which mean nothing. But, Mr. Editor, I feel it in my very bones and marrow that a day of vengeance is ap- proaching, and the cruel and incompetent pack who unfortunately rules the country will be swept away, as a foul stain upon the politi- cal history of P. E. Island; and | hope, Mr. Editor, you will use your pen to bring about so desirable an end. A Tenant on Lor 48,

British Federation.

The following is the concluding para- graph of an article in the London Spectator on Lord Dufferin’s career in Canada :—

“One point of great political importance comes out in the Canadian history of the past five years, and especially in the relation of the Canadian people with Lord Dufferin. The federation of English Colonies does not dimin- ish, but distinctly increases, their loyalty to the Mother State. One would have imagined, reasoning only a priori, that with each step which a colonial people took towards nation- ality, their jealousy of the prestige, and the authority, and the interference of the Mother Country would become deeper, until at last even the appearance of any control, any supe- riority, would be resented as an affront. One would have expected that the desire for a sep- arate foreign policy, for a status apart in the great world, and for careers without a limit, would have been the tirst to be developed in a young and vigorous nationality. So far, how- ever, is this from being the case, that federa- tion seems to soothe Colonial susceptibilities. The greatness of a Dominion, as compared with a Colony, satisfies more ambitions than it excites. Ever since the confederation of the Canadas, the Canadian jealousy of Great Britain has perceptibly declined, and the pop- ular feeling for the Viceroy, as the link with the Mother Country, has perceptibly increased, till opinion in Canada contrasts strangeiy with opinion, say, at the Cape. It is impossible to read the history of the recent Ministerial changes in Cape Colony without seeing that the desire to carry on war cheaply was not, as the 7imes imagines, the only motive of Mr. Molteno and his party in desiring that all mili- tary authority should be left to them, and the Queen’s troops withdrawn. There was also a bitter jealousy of British authority—a dislike of the representative of this country, not as Sir Bartle Frere, but asa foreign authority— a wish to go their own way, in indifference to the rights and even to the interests of the whole Empire—feelings which had before come out very strongly in the discussions on Lord Carnarvon’s plan for confederatien. The Gov- ernment was, in fact swayed by a small spirit of localism which blinded its members, not only to the interests of South Africa, but of what was possible under the relation of the Empire to the Colony. They actually asked that the Queen should cease to command her own forces, and the link between the Colony and the British Government be reduced to an empty form. That is the very spirit which federation has charmed away in Canada, and which it would probably charm away in South Africa, for the body of whites support Sir Bartle Frere, and before the dispute arose had expressed their approval of federa- tion. Of course, the temper of the Cana- dians and that of the South Africans is not the same. There is something of the Scotch real-satisfied temper about Canadians, which makes them less susceptible than the South Africans, who have caught from the Dutch something of the bitter suspiciousness and irri- tability natural to men ruled by an alien Gov- ernment; but a minute localism has much to do with it also. The South Africans are never likely to be oppressed, though oppression was tried once, in the matter of the convicts; but they think or fancy they might be, or at least are as irritable as if they did, and consequent- ly regard every act of the Home Government with a distrust which sometimes become per- verse. ‘The people of the Dominion are not afraid of being oppressed, because they know they cannot be, and, consequently, they judge English actions as men judge the actions of friends and comrades, not forgetting their own interests, but not suspicious and not irritable. After all, friendship is strongest between equals, and it is towards equality between Britain and her great off-shoots that the policy of confederatien tends. When it is next tried on @ great scale, we can only hope, but do not expect, that a man with the gifts of Lord Duf- ferin may be the first or second Viceroy.”

Prof. Lewis Swift, of Rochester, N. Y., has discovered a comet in the Constellation of Hercules, 1t is in the right ascension, about 17 hours, 40 min., duchnation north 18 de- grees. It is large, but faint, and is moving slowly in the south-west.

The Manchester Arms Company, of Con. necticut, have sent twenty-nine cargoes of arms, valued at $17,000,000, to Turkey since the outbreak of the war. All of these goods have been delivered promptly and in good condition. “

Doctors in the United States-were busy last week putting eg the bits of boys which had separated from the main stems by ex- plosives on the 4th July. The champion feat was the sewing on of an ear to a boy who had lost that member by a toy cannon bursting. All attempts to put back the eyes and make them aa as ever have failed so far.

Bald Mountain, North Coeroliaa, which created such a sensation a year ago, has re-

sumed its unaccountable rumblings. Some ex- citement prevails. The crack in the moun- tain has widened about ten feet. Another

terminates in a large cavern. The whole mountain seems to be hollow. The Commissioner-General of the Land

A gentleman in Washington, who has few if any superiors in acquaintance with Indian af- fairs, expresses the opinion very positively that a general Indian war is an impossibility, except as the result of a policy on the part of the Government, which would drive allthe In- dians into war atthe same time. He say notwithstan lingthe slensash eebiahainetetelioen 3 have been subjected at the handsof the whites, their inter-tsibal antipathies and long standir feuds furnish motives for warring with ea other stronger thanany they have for fighting the United States.

Their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Dufferin, arrived at Rimouski at 5p. m. on Saturday. Over 200 citizens were present to meet them. As the train came into the station, their Ex- cellencies were greeted with cheers. The Mayor, M. Louis Gauvreau, presented an ad- dress, to which Lord Dufferin replied. m French, thanking the people for their kind- ness, and spoke of his regret in leaving Can- ada, his second home. Their Excellencies drove through the town, accompanied by the Mayor and Dr. Fiset, M. P., visited the col- lege and convent, and then left for Bic and embarked on board the ‘‘ Druid” for Tadou- sac. Hood used to tell a story ot a hypochondriae who ran in the habit, two or three times a week, of believing himself dying. On a cer- tain occasion he was taken ill with -~ or terrors while riding out in his gig, an pening at the time i see in aoe road ahead x ami ician riding in his carriage in the ene lee etient he applied the whip to his horse to overtake the old Doctor as soon as he possibly could. The Doctor, however, seeing him coming, applied the whip to his own horse, and as he a nag that was considered a ‘‘goer,” they had a close time of it for about three miles. But the hypochondriac, driving a faster horse, finally came alongside the doc- tor, and exclaimed, ‘‘Hang it, doctor, re up —pull up instantly! Iam dying.” h you are,” cried the doctor; ‘‘I never saw any one going so fast.”’
