WHAT A STRANGER SAW AND HEARD DURING A BRIEF STAY ON THE ISLAND.

THE Philadelpkia Evening Star, of the

24th ult., contains a three column letter

from Charlottetown, signed ‘*A. M. 8S.”

We extract the following :

‘« After a very pleasant ride of forty miles, (from Summerside to Charlottetown) over an exceedingly well managed road—a_ branch of the Intercolonial system—we reached Char- lottetown, our point of destination, in time for an excellent supper which awaited us at the Davies House, a well-kept hostelry with an accommodating landlord. | Charlottetown is the Provincial capital, and is situated on Hillsborough River. north side, having a very fine harbor with a narrow entrance, but water deep enough to float the largest ships. The population numbers some 13,000 and is rapid- ly increasing. 1t is situated on gently rising ground, giving it the full benefit of the sea breezes which almost constantly prevail to an agreeable extent, though sometimes not so agreeable. It was the boast of a venerable government official to-day that it is laid out rectangularly, has broad, well macadamized streets, the inevitable Canadian wooden pave- ments, and is a place of considerable traffic.

‘The public buildings, except the Colonial or Parliament House, are mainly of brick, of good architectural proportions and very sub- stantial, We visited the Colonial Building which is the largest, containing, in addition

of Parliament, the Colonial Library, and a number of the Crown effects. ‘© We were politely shown through them by the Clerk, Mr. F. W. Haghes, from whom we obtained much interesting information, of some of which I shall presently avail myself. The venerable Librarian, Mr. Edward Roche, was courteous in the extreme. making the well founded boast that it was both his pride and his pleasure to furnish strangers with all the information he possessed if desired to do so. We desired it and the old gentleman showed us all that was rare and curious in the well-arranged library of 12,000 volumes, supplying us with some statistical books, and gallantly escorting the three ladies—Mrs. ‘8. aud two Boston schoolmarms—to the cupola of the building, from which we obtained a very fine view of the town and the adjacent country and harbor. “ The inhabitants of Prince Edward Island are very proud of their island, and rarely fail to speak of it in terms of the warmest eulogy. They call it ‘‘the garden spot of the earth,” and in point of productiveness and. special adaption to particular crops, it would be difficult to find a more desirable territory. As far as I had opportunities for noting its pro- ducing qualities, I could not but feel deeply impressed with its remarkable fertility. The soil is a very red loam, mixed somewhat with sand, but readily handled, and yielding gen- erous returns for whatever attention is paid it by the cultivator. ‘‘The hay and pasture fields are luxuriant, the hay harvest having not yet commenced, and the pasture fields are so well covered with tender herbage, that it is easy to understand why the beef and mutton of Prince Edward are among the finest in the world. I certain- ly have never tasted such mutton as that served us to-day. Light in color, rich, juicy and tender to a wonderful degree, with entire freedom from that muttony taste which so many dislike. I am sure I never relished meat of any kind so much, and assuredly not mutton. The most delicate lamb served in our Philadelphia markets would hardly com- pare with it. If there is a lover of mutton or lamb among my readers, let him come to this Island and taste the article in its fullest per- fection. The beef is equally fine. I was shown some by one of the principal butchers to-day which was certainly unsurpassed as far as ap- pearances were concerned. ‘© IT might go and tell. you of many other desirable products, among them apples, but especially strawberries, which are grown to perfection. Seating myself at the supper table last night I noticed a gentleman cutting something with his spoon, the nature of which, covered as they were with sugar, I could not divine. The mystery was solved when at the close of the meal we were served with a saucer of strawberries huge in quantity and huge in size, and literally smothered in ice cream. I certainly never saw finer nor tasted more luscious ones. To-day a very. large saucer piled high, contained by actual count just ten berries. We had been feasting upon the small, bright crimson wild berries everywhere else in Canada. They ure fully the equal of the choicest cultivated ones in flavor, but you can readily imagine how we relished the mon- sters just referred to. “Milk and cream are abundant every- where, and are served at the hotel tables with- out stint. The butter is very much better than any we have had since leaving Philadel- phia, and it needs not the saying that-I could not well pay a higher compliment to the dairymen of Prince Edward Island. “<The climate is remarkably healthy, evi- dence of which is given in the stalwart forms of the men and the fine proportions of the women. The winters are long, but not near- ly as severe as in the other Canadian pro- vinces, and are fully compensated for by the dryness and salubriousness of the atmosphere and the brightness and beauty of the spring and summer. The highest temperature in summer has not, for a number of years, ex- ceeded 87.50, and that very rarely. The sea breezes greatly modify the heat and remove its oppressiveness. Togs are a rarity. “Krom the foregoing it will be seen that no more delightful summer resort could be de- sired, and if first-class hotels were located at the many admirably adapted spots on the north or Gulf side of the Island, they would, no doubt, attract large numbers of tourists.

months, The fishing at times is very fire, whether for brook or sea trout, but especiaily the latter, which in points of gameness, abun- dance and flavor, are as far superior to the former as the former is to our weakfish. Their flesh is firm and of a deep salmon color, with a twang about it which, to my taste, is far more toothsome than either brook trout or silver salmon. I can only regret that my necessarily limited stay prevents me from ; testing their gamey qualities. They are now in season, and will be until September. I take great pleasure in directing the attention of the far away rod and reel men of the Anglers Association, who visit the Resti- gouche and Miramichi nearly every season, to this part of the world.

‘*In the less cultivated parts, partridges, woodcock, golden plover, curlew and wild fowl abound in endless variety in their respec- tive seasons, so that gunners and anglers alike will find full employment for their guns and rods, and as the island is narrow and the rail- way traverses its entire length, the apart territories are nearly all readily accessible an: at small cost.

‘©QOn the northern side of the Island mack- erel and codfish abound in great numbers, and J do not hesitate to state that a well-broiled mackerel, fresh from the sea—such as one as was served us last night—is a luxury which, to be appreciated, must by enjoyed. The commercial value of these fishes is daily being more and more highly estimated, extensive establishments for the curing of them and lobsters being in operation at both extremes of the Island. They are exceedingly interest-

‘i No doubt some of my readers would. like to know the cost of sojourning here. We are stopping at the ‘ Davies House,’ a well-kept, home-like hotel, where we have a fine, large, airy, well-lighted room, commanding a splen- did view of the harbor, and where the prices per diem range from $1.25 to $1.75, according to location. I presume good accommodations at still lower rates can be had. The table is the best we have sat down to since we left home.

“In French Canada everybody touches the hat or bows pleasantly to the stranger, but in Prince Edward’s the stranger is a stranger until the ice is thawed, and a disposition dis- played on his part to be sociable when he is met much more than half way, and is given a reception so cordial as to make him feel en- tirely at home. I certainly never experienced more genuine hospitality, and that is the ex- perience of all who come here, and are entitl- ed to kindly courtesy. I can only regret that imperative demands upon the time at my disposal prevent me from sojourning a fort- night or longer, for thus far my stay has beea of the most agreeable.”

Mechanism of the Heart,

In the human subject the average rapidity of the cordiac pulsation of an adult male is about seventy beats per minute. These beats are more frequent as a rule in young children and in women, and there are variations within certain limits in particular persons owing tv peculiarities of organization. It would not necessarily be an abnormal sign to find in some particular individual the habitual frequency of the heart’s action from sixty to sixty- five, or from seventy-five to eighty per minute. Asa rule, the hearts action is slower and more powerful in fully develop- ed and muscular organizations, and more rapid and feeble in those of slighter forms. In animals the range is from twenty-five to forty-five in the cold-blooded and ° fifty up- ward in the warm-blooded animals, except in the case of a horse, which has a very slow heartbeat, only forty strokes a minute. The pulsations of men and all animals differ with the sea level also. The work of a healthy human heart has been shown to equal the feat of raising five tons four hundredweight one foot per hour, or 125 tons in twenty-four hours. The excess of this work under alcohol in varying quanti- ties is often very great. A curious calcu- lation has been made by Dr. Richardson, giving the work of the heart in mileage. Presuming that the blood was thrown out of the heart at each pulsation in the pro- portion of sixty-nine strokes per minute, and at the assumed force of nine feet, the mileage of the blood through the body might be taken at 207 yards per minute, 7 miles per hour, 168 miles per day, 61,320 miles per year, or 5,150,880 miles in a life- time of eighty-four years. The number of beats of the heart in the same long life would reach the grand total of 2,869,776,-

Trade Prospects.

The chairman of the Bank of British North America at the annual meeting of shareholders in London on Tuesday, in the course of his remarks, said:—‘‘ The reports of the gram crops from the Northwest provinces were most encouraging, and there was likely to be a large surplus for export after providing for home consumption. Owing to the deficient harvests in Europe, all the surplus of Canada and the States would be quickly absorbed. There was al- ready an advance in London on the price of wheat of five shillings per quarter, and there was évery prospect of this advance being maintained for some time to come. The material advance in. freights has so im- proved the price of ships that in one pro- vince alone the value of ships has increased since last year by a million and a half dol- lars. The timber trade has not been so healthy, but with the freight advance and decreasing London stock business the pros- pects are better generally. The prospects were fair for a good trade in Oanada, and with the expected demand for money the bank business for autumn and winter will be fairly profitable.”

Apvicz to Moraers.— Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all

ain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure. and ask for Mrs, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, end take no other kind. (April 1 ’88
