HALIFAX EXHIBITION.
{ Editerial Co respondence. )
THE CATILE SHOW.
The horses and cattle of Neva Scotia were very poorly represented at the Halifax Exhibition. In fact there were on the grounds bat one or two exceptionally fine animals, Either of the Ceuaties of the Island will, prebably, make a better show. There were, however, on exhibition, a good many very fine specimens of the “laboring ox’’—-a class now all but extinct in the island ; and an exhibition of their strength and patience was one of the interesting features of the cecasion. It will be asked, lew is it that Nova Seetia, which is well adapted to stock-raising and has given some attention to that branch of agricul- ture, had so comparatively mean an exhi- bition at the Capital of the Province? The chief reason seems to have been an uu- worthy jealousy of Halifax as a place
for the Exhibition. It was perfectly right on the part of the agricultural
counties to protest against the Provincial grant being given to Halifax year after year. But when Halifax itself went to work and raised upwards-of $6,000 for an exhibition, it seems to have been a very petty feeling which wouid not permit the farmers of King’s, Colchester, ete., from goingup andcarrying off the prizes,especially as there was nothing whatever to prevent them from afterwards taking their cattle to the Provincial exhibition at Kentville and competing there. An honorable, manly rivalry, a genereus emulation—these are ihe sentiments which should be called into play by competing county exhibitions ; and if they are, the resuit must be goed for all concerned and for the country at large. But, if suspicions and jealousies prevail, failure must ensne, and the effect will be evil and not good. The distribution of the annual grant for Ex- hibitions is one of the li ttle difficulties of the Nova Scotia Government. As yet no detinite plan with respect to it seems to have been decided upon. To the writer, it seems that the proper course to pursue is to give the grant to each of the Counties an- nually in rotation. This course admits of any cr all the Cormties, in the meantime, having their own Exhibitions at their own expense, and inviteng competition from all parts «f the Province or the Dominion. But if it be decided to hold the Provincial Exhibition in the same town, year after year, Truro, as the centre of railway traffic in the Province, seems to be the place at which it should be held. Truro, it is to be noted, is already provided with eligible Ex- hibition grounds and buildings.
ROOTS, VEGETABLES AND GRAIN,
The roots and vegetables on exhibition, though few in number, were fine ; and af- forded evidence that could not be donbted of the great fertilty of the soil which pro- dneed them. The grams, too, were very ge * t,
MANUFACTURES.
Manufactures in metal, were well repre- sented. The collection of brasswork, and composition goods, exhibited by Messrs. McDonald & Company, would be creditable te any city. The Halifax Rolling Mills, Messrs, J. L. Fenerty, B. Eaton & Sons, and The Windsor Foundry Co., were the principal exhibitors of ironware. Merchants of the Island would do well to give Halifax a call for certain lines of hardware before going to the United States or England. The ship fixings, the axes, the yas fittings, the looks, the rails, the carriage axles, the ellip- tic springs‘ the stoves, the register grates, etc., on exhibition in Halifax, appeared to be geod enough for any market. Halifax ought to excel in the Manufacture ofthese things; and we who live so near and have such close relations with her, should con- sisteptly with our own interesis, encourage her todo so. By encouraging Halifax, we should really be encouraging ‘‘Home Manu- factures.*

Larestadvices fromthe Magdalen Islands report: ‘‘'The fishery is now nearly over, and the result is by far insufticient to main- tain the population who leok to it for sup- port. At present many fishermen are with- out their daily bread, and a host of them will be without it during the whole long coming season. Providence only knows in which way the fishing population will wade through the winter. It is easy to foresee that if no assistance is sent from the Gov- ernment to help them in their distress, an alarming state of poverty will be unavoid- ably the result. The low prices of all kinds of fish this year adds to the scarcity. Every element of subsistence seems to werk against the welfare of the fishermen in this locality Crops are, however, pretty good.—Hooping cough is prevailing.—The telegraph work is going on weli.-—Plans and specifications are at hand here for the Building of a Break- water at Etang du Nord, awaiting tenders. It is hoped that the telegraph wil! foster trade, and materially support thereby the population of these Islands, but for the pre- sent will avail nothing for immediate wants —There are no wrecks.

The Port Hope *‘ Guide” complains that the maintenance of public schools in On- tario costs in round numbers $5,500,000 annually, and only a trifle over two millions per year is paid to the teachers. It says: ‘‘ The balance of the above vast sum is spent in supporting a lot of hungry leeches who hang on and aronnd the Education Office.”

The Pacific Railway.
a
a
i iis i (London ( orres pond nee ta the Halifax Herald.)
There is considerable excitement here over the Canada Pacific Railway. The class papers like the ‘‘ Economist” and the ‘* Bullicnist” appeared yesterday with flam- ing articles ayainst the scheme. One of them goes so far te describe Sir John as ‘* devilish sly,” and quite comes up to the low American standard of yituperative writing in its attempt to hit the Canadian Premier. All this shows how disappointed some rings are that their tenders for the Canada Pacific Railway have not been ac- cepted, and that a Syndicate composed of new nien have secured the tempting prize, which Sir John has been dangling before the capitaiists of London for some months. The rings here theught that by the adop- tion of peculiar tactics, they could humbug Sir John and Sir Charles But the Can- adians proved quite as sharp as the men here, Who were trying to pnll the wool over their eyes, and consequently did not allow the wool pulling operations to sue- ceed. Hence all these tears. For some weeks it bas been understood that French capitalists were likely to have a hand in, and this has especially excited “the ire of London Capitalists, In various di- rections they have made their wrath visible. Mr. George Anderson, M. P., in the “‘Con- temporary Review,” tries to excite ani- mosity by ~declaring agafnst the handing over of *‘ our country” to the French, and goes into au elaborate calculation to show that the land belongs to Englishmen, be- cause the money and the interest of the money spent by former generativns of Englishmen, in conquering Canada was never repaid by Canada. This is a fair sample of the way the baftied rings are trying to prejudice people against us.
Nevertlieless I find that among the peo- ple Canada stands high, and all wish us success in ourefforts to open up the North- West. The opinions of .the ‘ rings” do not carry much weight.
The Syndicate I suppese you know, is composed of Morton, Rose & Cc., here, the New York firm of Morton, Bliss & Co., the Societie General of Paris, and the Bank of Montreal. None of the old men whe have tigured in large transaction are in the pew combination, and of course they ook with a decree of jealousy upon the present Syndicate. i
I understand that Hon. Mr. Annand will soon return to Halifax, as he is dis- satisfied with his present position here under Sir A. T. Galt. He will probably go back to Nova Scotia about the end of the month.

THe Prixcess Lovuise.—In the London correspondence of the Belfast News Letter, we find the following :—
The Princess Louise is trying hydropathy for deafness; she is travelling quite as a private person, without any state, and only a lady companion besides her servants, English people are not disposed to eavii at her attachment to her own country, which is said to be tee strong to allow her to take quite warmly to Canada. Gompari- sons are drawn between her and Lady Dufferin, not quite to the advantage of the Princess; but the two cases are quite differ- ent. One had with her most of her home ties, and was given a position far above any to which she had been entitled at home, The other, born and brought uf in a Court, was literally expatriated by beimg sent out to Canada, separated from almost all those that she loved

Horses.—It has been estimated that of the horses in the world, Austria has 1,367,- 000; Hungary, 2,179,000; France, about 3,000,000 ; Russia, 21,470,000 ; Germany, 3,352,009 ; Great Britain and Ireland, 2,- 255,000 ; Turkey, about 1,000,000; the United States, 9,504,000 ; the Argentine Republic, 4,000,000 ; Canada, 2,624,000 ; Uruguay, 1,600,000,
Tux Ace or Sream.—In a work by Dr. Ernest Engel, issued from the German Statistical Bureau, it is stated that there were in the whole world in the year 1879 about 210,000 miles of railroad, with 105,- 000 lecomotives, representing a force equal to 30,000,000 horse-power. The force of other sceam engines in use for various pur? poses Dr. Engel sets down as at least 13,000,000 horse-power.
