ts Prmvce Epwa Istanp has this year Pa vored by the presence of many uss compatriots from the ( pper Tet Provinces and many of our cousins from i hboring Republic. There is reason tit. . . ~ : . . it for the belief that the visits have been tf mutually beneficial and _ pleasing. To a the we althy people of the continent the gh Island has afforded a cool and quiet refuge ‘i from the intense heat and the heavy cares : of business. To the thriving people of the : Island their visitors have brought cash and 4 v d ile us

op We hope this friendly and advantageous it reciprocity will long continue and pt that the volume of travel between the ny Island and the Mainland will enlarge year ie? by year

Ai To this end we should afford all the facilities we can. We should, in the first cP place. strive to make the Island as attrac- 4 ve as possible. Nature has done much for * us VV e, 8O Tar, h ive done very little. If 2 ir visitors are ‘** delighted with the Is- Le land the credit is almost wholly due to §, Providence who has given us a pleasant situ- ry sition and delightful summer weather.

The East Point Tea.

Ever since it was announced by _tele- gram on Monday last that the storm drums were up, and that a tempest might be ex pected to strike the Island at any moment, X ople have been feeling more or rf 8s anxious about the weather; and none felt more so than those who had charge of the arrangements for the East Point Tea. The day arrived, however, and, to the great de- licht and satisfaction of all, instead of being 1 stormy one, it proved one of the brightest the vear. Nota cloud was to be seen in the sky, and the air, charged with the brine of the ocean, had a most invigorating and healthful effect upon those who attend- ed. Pleasure seekers from a distance no sooner arrived on the grounds than the beneficial effects of the morning drive made themselves visible in hand-shaking, dane- ing, and joining in the general good cheer. ‘he famous piper, Ferguson, was_ there, and, in company with the irrepressible A. I. himself, discoursed sweet music from the vrand stand in the centre of the grounds all day long The daneing booths were well patronized. There was plenty of musie for the dancers, over a dozen violin- ists being on hand, all ready and willing to play—and play they did “from early morn till dewy eve.” Everybody was in the very best of humor, not an unkind word was said, or unkind act committed by any one of the thousand or more persons present. The energetic and popular Parish Priest, Rev. D. J. Gillis, and the committee of management, deserve the highest praise for the agreeable and successful manner in which the affair, from beginning to end, was conducted.

The usual sale of cakes took place, and with Mr. A. C. McDonald as auctioneer, realized handsome prices. We are not aware of what the entire proceeds will be when figured up,but we believe the amount will not fall far short of a thousand dollars,

eal Principal Hutton and his Papiis at Souris.

Principal Hutton, of the Halifax Deaf Dumb Institution, accompanied by Bessie Bond Annie Vaughan, William Higgins and Norman McLeod, pupils of the Institution, gave a very interesting lecture and entertainment in the Court House at Souris on Wednesday evening last. The building was crowded to its utmost capa- city. McDonald, Esq., Sheriff of King’s County, acted as Chairman, and in- troduced Principal and pupils in a few ap- propriate and well chosen remarks. Mr. Hutton first gave a brief introductory ad- dress, referring to the history and progress of Deaf Mute Education, and explaining fully the difference between the sign and the oral system, both of which, he said, he endorsed and taught. The dispositions and capabilities of the deaf mute had to be taken into account when deciding between ra! and sign modes of instruction.

As evidence of what can be done by the former mode, Miss Vaughn took the plat- form and pronounced letters and words juite distinctly and intelligently, conclud- ing by repeating the Lord’s Prayer in ac- vents that touched the feelings of all pre- sent.

After this part of the exercises, the other pupils came forward and answered ques- tion on the blackboard, principally in geo- graphy, without scarcely ever making a mistake. Some of the questions would have puzzled older heads to answer cor- rectly.

A collection was taken up in aid of the

Institution, and the amount contributed was creditabe to the audience. Before closing, the Rev. J. G. Cameron moved,

seconded by Mr. (+. McDonald, the follow- ing resolution which was carried unani- mously :—

Resolved, That having witnessed with pleas- ure and interest, the evidence of the pro- ficiency of the pupils trained under Mr. Hut- ton’s care in the Halifax Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and realizing the benefits al- ready conferred by this Institution on the deaf mutes of Prince Edward Island, expresses our conviction of its claim on the Liberal sup- port of the Government and people of this Province ; and would recommend that a _ per capita allowance for the education of our Is- land deaf mutes be made by our Legislature asis Gone in the sister Province of Nova Scotia.

A Rural Sketch.

Tue St. John Swn’s special correspondent waxes eloquent over the cuisine of the Island steamers; and after temporarily in- dulging in the pleasures of the table at which Captain Cameron presides, dashed off the following pretty sketch, obtained on the train between Charlottetown and Suim- merside:-

**As the train rushes briskly along we se- cure a very good view of the Island farms, and certainly they present an appearance not soon to be forgotten. The cosy little houses and mammoth barns form a perfect picture of rural prosperity and plenty. How wide and smooth and level the fields are; how free from rocks, bushes or any kind of rubbish the noble farms that stretch for miles and miles in un- broken fertility on either side! Here is a field presenting to view probably 50 acres of

Tue price of coal in Ontario and Quebec is a question not discussed by grit papers this year. Last autumn the government had to face the cry that they were wringing taxes ; from the shivering widows and orphans by axing their fire. The government abolished the duty but the price has not yet diminished. On the contrary it is higher than last year.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, -

City Belles.

An enterprising young gentleman of New Brunswick has been tryimg his fortune in Charlottetown, and relates his experiences to the St. John Sin as follows :

“The average Charlottetown girl is a strongly fortified sort of creature. Viewed at a distance she seems to be a bundle of good- natured fluffiness and feathery pensiveness. Hex artless innocence is absolutely appalling to one who is familiar with thewiles of this lost and undone world. Nota trace, not a shadow of conscious guile has ever left its impress upon her heavenly visage. She would seem to be susceptible and easy of capture. But when you become acquainted with her you are brought into violent collision with a very dif- ferent sort of a person indeed. You will dis- cein that she is surrounded with a barbed-. wire fence, labelled, ‘No admittance except on business.” You may peer over the pickets into the connubial clover-patch beyond, but you are warned to keep off the grass. Her relatives garrison the enclosure and before be-

g sacred precincts you must needs draw up an affidavit (to which the shorter catechism will be attached as schedule A, and a statement of your real. and personal property as schedule B), setting forth the pre- cise nature of your intentions and aspirations. Then, O favored youth, should your pedigree be unobjectionable, you will be permitted, in the presence of one or two adult members of the family, to bask in her effulgent orbs about once a week, at a reasonable distance. Should you propose, you must propose to the family, and pour forth all the tremulous, fluttering tenderness of your soul before that stern tri- bunal of propriety. There can be no doubt, however, that at heart the Charlottetown damsel resents being imprisoned like a fluffy little gosling under the wing of the parental bird, and pines pitifully for freedom. Ramb- ling on the sea shore one day your corres- pondent picked up the following, which shows the true inwardness of the Charlottetonian feminine mind;

AMELIA'S PRAYER,

Wanted !~A man about six feet in height,

Who can split up the kindling and blow out the light ;

Who can wind up the clock and put out the cat,

An¢ sweep off the door step snd shake the hall mat ;

Whe can brush his own‘clothing, do up his own shirting

And be blind to his wife’s prediliction for flirt- ing ;

In fact the description of man I would find

Is a sort of a seraph and holster combined.

Our triend, however, is not without some hope, for he says :—

‘*The hospitality— the uniform courtesy and good will of the citizens of Charlotte- town towards the stranger within their gates are proverbial. The visitor feels himself at home immediately, and is surprised at the manner in which people exert themselves to the end that he may be entertained and that nothing which could contribute to his pleasure or interest is overlooked. In no city that your correspondent has seen do the people exhibit more genuine culture and unatiected refinement, combined with down-right friend- liness and kindness of heart. Socially the people are conservative but not superficial ; spontaneous in their hospitality but not effu- sive ; refined in their tastes but not esthetic —at least not utterly so. Indeed one can scarcely see much room for flunkeyism and red tape in a place where the gubernatorial mansion is situated in the midst ofa field of

British and European Affairs.

The Times says a political and commer- cial treaty between France and China has been arranged.

The marriage of the Emperor of China has been postponed for two years, owing to the illness of the Emperor. :

Mr. Sexton will be inaugurated as Lord Mayor of Dublin on New Year's Day. Mr. Gladstone has been invited to the inaugural banquet.

O’Gormon Mahon was elected without opposition to the commons for Carlow, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. A. Blake.

Twelve hundred men employed in the foundries on Montalouere, in the depart- ment of Oise, France, have struck against a reduction of wages.

Gladstone, Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt, Earl Spencer, Arnold and Morley have had a long conference this morning in reference to the proclamation of the National League.

Russel says that be is willing to attend a conference called. by Lord Hartington, but that his position is a difficult one. He adds that he must in future, although a staunch Unionist, work outside the party.

The Ennis board of guardiaus has adopt- ed an official resolution defying the gov- ernment’s proclamation against the national league and exhorting all boards of guardians tu advance the principles of the the league.

The News this morning says: ‘* The meeting at the Rotunda in Dublin last night marks an epoch in the history of England and Ireland. The attendance of English members of Parliament is emphatic testimony that a real union has at length been achieved by the most illustrions of English statesmen.

The division on the proclamation of the League has now been fixed for Friday next. The Government fixes Sept. 5 for the close of the committee on supply. Parliament will be prorogued Sept 13. An notice has been placed on the order book, in Mr. Gladstone’s name, to move an address against the proclamation of the League. The Gladstonians will hold a conference in the House of Commons to support the Par- nellites;

In the commons, on the 24th, Sir Henry Holland, colonial secretary, replying to Sir Henry Tyler, said he had no information that Sir John Macdonald, Canadian pre- mier, intended to ask for British troops for service in Manitoba, but he was not pre- pared to say that under no circumstances would imperial troeps support local forces. Each case, he added, must be judged on its merits. This announcement was re- ceived with cheers.

Taimur Shah and two officers at Herat have been executed by the Ameer of Af- ghanistan is consequence of having conduct- ed secret negotiations with Yaoub Khan. Abdul Rahman, Shere Ali’s general chief, has been placed under arrest, charged with a similar offence. The Ghilzais are broken up into small parties and are dispersing. The army of the Ameer of Afghanistan in the field is estimated at 20,000 regular and 30,000 irregular troops, besides the 5,000 men composing the garrison at Ghugui and Candahar.
