England’s Thanks.
[This poem was published in /?uuch on the receipt of the sad news from Sout) Africa. }
Tis not suecess that sends Bjood to the heart and water to the eye, That stirs all Kngland to accordant ery, ‘* How shall we make amends ° To them that nobly win or lose ?” Not by deeds issue, but by needs we choose.
There is death in defeat, That shows far nobler than victorious life. Honor to those who weave their crowns of strife In Peace’s garland sweet ; But honor, too, to those whose crowns are clenched In death-stark hands, with high hearts’ life- blood drenched.
Take England’s praise and thanks, You brave young Officers, brave Rank and File, Who beat back Zulu strength, foiled Zulu guile, On Bulfalo’s bare banks, A handful ’gainst a host, through a long night Of desperate leaguer and unequal fight.
Take thanks and honor, too,
You that, o’er swept by sudden-surging waves
Of savage foes, in their slain heaps found graves;
And of them chiefly, you, Young pair of Paladins, who clave your way, Bearing the colors from that fatal fray,
CocHILt and MELVILLE—names That need no stone, in English hearts writ deep ; Upon the Buffalo’s scorched bank they sleep, Two boys—-immortal fame | One heart flag-folded, one as brave, I wis, That in its last beat knew no pang but this,
*Twas his friends prouder fate, Te wrap those colors round his bleeding breast, His, knee to knee, to strive and strike his best, O’er sand and through spate, Ready whene’er from selle his comrade reeled, To snatch that charge, which but dead hands would yield.
Through «orm of shot and spear, Red with the. own and their pursuers’ blood, On, on, o’er steep and stone, on to the flood, That rolls, storm swoolen, near-— A lift, a leap, their horses breast the tide ! Strike shot, rain spear! with charmed lives they ride!
Alas, ’twas not to be, Life’s spark but lit them to the bank to die ; There, scarred with shot and assegay, they lie, Side by side, peacefully. The red flag ronnd one heart of two that vowed To save it—takeit, both, for common shroud.
This homage paid tie dead— Who could no more Save life than honor lose— Take England’s thanks aud praise, their well- earned dues, Who held that leaguered shed, Setting Rorkes’ Drift, till now unhonored name, By Plassy and Assaye, and fights of fame. It is remarked upon as something un- usual that the Queen, during her present visit to Italy, is unaccompanied by any

Repairs to Pownal Wharf.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—-Trusting you will allow me a small space in your valuable journal, I would like to call the attention of your readers to what seems to me to be one of the most extrava- gant and reckless undertakings ever devised by our City Council, viz., that structure (intended for a wharf, no doubt), at the foot of Pownal street.
To give your readers a faint idea of the bungling manner in which the wharf is being built, 1 would state that, to begin with, brush to the height of about five feet was placed on the ice; this was afterwards covered with heavy hemlock timber. As the structure has already drifted from its original position, what will take place when the ice breaks up? I will leave to your readers to guess
As the sun of $1,400 was expended-- thrown away, I should say—upon_ this wharf about a year ago, I think it is asking just a trifle teo much of our already over- burdened tax payers to contribute towards the completion of this criminal piece of folly.
1 am surprised that the Chairman of the Wharf Committee—who, although not a practical man, should at least have had ex- perience enough in matters of this kind to see that the wharf will never pay the inter- est of the money expended on it if complet- ed as begun—should allow the work to con- tinue without a remonstrance.
in this connection, I would ask, Mr. Editor, if the person who occasionally visits the wharf for the purpuse of inspecting it is paid for his trouble out of the city cof- fers. This person is in the employ of the Railroad, serving in the depot, superintend- ed by Mr. Cuningham.
What mechanical genius the City Coun- cil have lately discovered in this person I am atalossto understand, as it is buta short time since he was rejected for the office of City Surveyor by an almost un- animous vote of the same body. As the completion of this work will necessitate an outlay of thousands of dollars, I do not think it would be asking too much of our City Fathers to pay it a visit at their ear- liest convenience. Should they defer doing so, the probability is that this novel struc- ture will part company with us, and soon be drifting towards a neighboring Province.
Trusting that the Common Council will be guided in their future actions by the overwhelming defeat of our late Rump Government—which defeat was largely owing to their incompetency and ex- travagance in the Asylum jobbery—and that the present eyesore at the foot of Pownal street will be replaced by a more secure and wormanlike structure.
I remain yours, ete., TAXPAYER. Charlottetown, April 16, 1879.

Flogging in Cases of Libel.
In the English House of Commons Mr. Errington asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was true, as stated in West Indian newspapers, that a criminal
flogging was provided as a punishment for libel, whether ‘‘wilful” or ‘‘negligent ;” and if so, whether this provision was introduced
Majesty's Government, and what course he proposed to pursue in the matter. Sir M, H. Beach replied as follows: —‘‘A draft criminal code for Jamaica was prepared in this country in 1877, under the direction of my predecessor, and a copy of it was pre- sented to Parliament in August of that year. It was then sent te Jamaica for con- sideration by the Colonial Legislature. That code containedga provision for the punishment by whipping in cases of inten- tional libels which imputed the commission of an infamous crime, but not for unin- tentional or negligent libel. The code is now under the consideration of the Legis- lature of Jamaica. When that consideration is concluded the code will be returned here for my consideration. No part of it will be put in force until it has been approved by me.”

——— Ce --— The Death-rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in che hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided.
