' THE YELLOW DOMINO.

The next two days I spent in feverish restiessness. Holixgsworth’s conduct had quite disconcerted my plans. From the concluding sentences of Isolina’s note, | bad construed an invitation to revisit the hacieuda in some more quiet guise than that of a filibustero; but after what had

trauspired, I could net muster courage to)

present myself under any pretence. It was not likely I should be welcome—lI, tie associate—nay, the commander -of the man who had attempted to take the life of a nephew, a cousin! Don Ra- mon had stipulated for a ‘little rude- ness ;” he had had the full measure ef bis bargain, and a good deal more. He could not otherwise than think so. Were I to present myself at the hacienda, I could not be else than coldly received /~ in short, unwelcome. I thought of apologies and preiexts, but to no purpose. For two days I re- mained in hacillating indecision ; I nei ther saw nor heard of her who engrossed j my thoughts. .News from head-quarters! A “grand

The “ Patriot” as an Organ.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Deak Sir,—For the well-being and gaod government of a country, the existence of two distinct political parties has lung been recognized by the best writers as almost » matter of necessity. Let the governing administration be ever so pure and pat- riotic, a vigorous and dignified opposition must always have a salutary effect upon the legislation of the country. And itis equally apparent that, to animate and inspire a vigorous, useful opposition, an energetic jand intelligent press is indispensable. But while J hold it to be the duty of the press to advocate, with al] the energy and vehem- ence it can command, those principles of government and political economy which it conceives to be most eonducive to the public weal; ! abhor, with unspeakable horror, the party journal that, in the frenzy of political zeal, loses sight of the moral obligations devolving upon it es an instruet- or of the people. A newspaper should be ever ready to discuss and criticise, with discriminating intelligence and moderation, the principles and conduct of public men; to defend and extol public virtue and _ bril-

|liant talents, wherever visible; and to de-

nounce as forcibly the misdoings of political tricksters and scheming adventurers, no matter to what party they may claim to belong. It shonld be edifying

‘and would be on a grand scale. Its object was political; in other words, | it was to be the means of cul-| tivating a friendly intercourse between | the conquerors and the cenquered— a desirable end. Every effert would be| made to bring out the ‘native seciety,”| and let it see that we Yankee officers. were pot such “barbarians” as they affected to deem, and in reality proneanc- edus. It was knownu—so stated my) informast—that many fantilies of the! Ayaukieados would be present; and ia! order to make it pleasanter for those who! feared proscription, the ball was to be a ‘masked one—un batle de mascara.

‘‘ The Ayaukieades are to be there!

My heart bounded with new hope; and

I resolved to make one of the maskers— | ‘not that I intended to go in costume In! my slender wardrobe was a civilian dress of proper cut, and telerably well pre-| served: that would answer my purpose. | The ball was to come off on the night! following that on which I had word of | ‘it. My suspense would be be short. The time appeared long enough, sal at length the hour arrived. and mounting my yzood steed, I started off for the city. brisk ride ef two hours brought me

ou the ground, and I found that | was: late evough to be fashionable. As I entered the ball-room, I saw that most of the cempany had arrived, and ithe floor was grouped with dancers. It | was evident the affair was a ** success.” | | There were four or five hundred persons | present, nearly half of them ladies. Many were in character costumes, as Tyrolese peasants, Andalussan majas, Bavarian

$5,008,000 broom-girls, Wallachian boyards, Turk-

jist sultanas, and bead-bedecked Indiau ‘belles. A greater number were dis- guised in the ungraceful domino, while jnot a few appeared in regular evening-| ‘dress. Most of the ladies wore masks: , some simply hid their faces behind the | coquettish reboso tapado, while others’ permitted their charms to be gazed upon. As the night wore on, and-anj occasional copita de vine strengthened the nerves of the company, the un-|

and masks got lest or put away.

As for the gentlemen, a number of them also wore masks—some were en costume, but uniforms predominvated, stamping the ball with a military charac- ter. It was nota little singular te see a number of Mexican officers minglivg in the throng! These were of course pris ners on parole; and their more

Predictions !

brilliant uniforms, of French patterns, contrasted oddily with the plain blue dresses of their conquerors. The pres-

of their gold-lace, was not exactly io gocd taste, but a moment’s reflection con- vinced one it was a matter of choice with them. Poor fcllews! had they abided by the laws of etiquette, they could not have been there; and no doubt tiiey were as desirous of shaking their legs in the dance as the gayest of their captors. Indeed, in this species of rival- ry they far outstripped the latter.

I spent but little time in observing these peculiarities ; but one idea engross- ed my mind, and that was to fiud Isolina de Vargas—no easy task amid such a multitude of maskers. Among the un- covered faces she was not. I soon scan- | ned them all, or rather glanced at them. :

in its diction, moral in its tone, and digni- fied in its criticisms, ever adhering with a religious devotion to principles ef honesty and truth. Then, indeed, would the Press be a powerful engine—a tower of strength to the party enjoying its support. But when a newspaper deliberately prostitutes itself in the slavish support of any party, pollutes the fair field of literature with its envenemed slanders, and puts calumny itself to the torture, in its foul, infuriate pursuit of character—under the delusive hope that coarse ribaidry and undignified cant may supply thé place of convincing argument—then, indeed, does it become a pestilence in the land, a thing to be can- tiously avoided by all men, even like the beacon-blaze upon the rock, warning the world that its approach is danger, that its contact is death !

Unfortunately, we, have a newspaper in this Provi:ce which seems determined upon Occupying a front place among journ- als of this class. I am led +o this train of thought by the perusal of recent numbers of the Patriot. Its columns are daily teem ing with course invectives against yentle- men whose political views de not happen to be in accord with those ef the Grit party. No amount of abilities, no degree of honor or virtue can shield a gentleman against the Patriot's brutal lash, if the one saving qualification of Gritism be wanting. Not content with its unqualified abure of the Conservative party general'y, it narks the people of certain localities for its vic. tims, and indulges in personalities against the Hon. Mr. Ferguson and others too low for publication in newspapers even of the Eatonsville Gazette stripe. I+ throw: its columns open to the scribblings of clown- ish upstarts who have scarcely sufficient, brains to run a village post office properly. And when the Patriot is not abusive, it affects to be critical Now, there is some- thing very humorous in this. I have fre- quently heard it said by competent judges that an entire column of the Patriot's jargon might be boiled down toa two- inch paragraph without destroying the

sense,—if it really contained any of that commodity; and when it undertakes to criticise the produc-

vions of other writers, it cannot fail to pro- voke a smile. What does the Patriot mean by attempting to convey tl.e impres- sion that the leader of the Opposition has embarked in the sheep trade, and that the Government officials are hounding him with persecuting malice? Is it in order to awaken a feeling of sympathy here for its persecuted leader, which the gentleman’s stump speeches have faled to elicit for him? Too thin, Mr. Patriot. Your read- ers will not be gulled that way. They will hardly mistake the stoic usurper of the Opposition Leadership, for our enterpris- ing, genial fellow-townsman, Mr. Blake.

Now, I do not desire to be unduly severe upon your contemporary. I admit that it may have unpleasant duties to perform as the Grit organ of this Province; I also admit that for the Patriot it is difficult to be severe, without at the same time, being vulgar; but I think for the sake of the craft of journalism, and for the sake of the party whose interests it tries to advance, it should endeavor to cultivate a better taste.

Yours, etc., Farrray. Dec. 15th, 1881. [SES ees
