Sir Charles Gavin Duffy concludes an

article in The Speaker as follows: * Lam for confederation of the Empire, and as speedily as p sible, under the strong con- viction that if it be postponed till after a

—The following letter from Sir Hector Langevin to Hon. Donald Ferguson conveys the clearest and most satisfactory assurance that we have yet had upon the subject to which it refers :

Ottawa, Mar:

—The Empire indignantly repudiates the assertion of the Mail that ** Canada is to a certain extent discredited by the circum- stances surrounding the death of poor young Benwell,” and says: ‘**On the contrary, the vigilance and skill with which vur authorities are unravelling the mystery is highly creditable tv the readiness of the community to unearth the particulars of the crime, and punish the perpetrator when he 13 P-FOV ed to be guilty The police officials are likewise deserving of recugnition for the activity displayed throughout the progress of the case.”

— The project of bridging Behring Straits, which 1a said to be attracting discus- siou in Russia, is a somewhat startling one, but there du not seem to be any insuper- able difficulties in the way. The distance between Siberia and Alaska is between ify and sixty miles, but this distance is br. ken into convenient sections by three or four islands, which would form stations in a route frum Cape Prince of Wales on the American shore to East Cape on the Rus- sian. The undertaking would, of course, be an enormously expensive one, but who will say that it will never be accomplished ? With a railway to Alaska, another across Siberia, and a tunnel under the British Channel, our descendants, if they do not succeed in bridging the Atlantic, may yet journey by rail from New York to London, crossing from Prince Edward Island to the mainland of Canadaon a bridge, or through a tunnel.

-A good deal of the last issue of the Dominion IUustrated is devoted to New- foundland, an island which, although not yet comprised within the Dominion of Can- ada, is almost cert sin to be one with us in some not very distant future. St. John’s and Placentia, the places depicted in this number, are of interest, not only for their bold, grand scenery, but also for their his- torical associations. Fredericton, the beau- tiful capital of New Brunswick, also receives attention, some fine views of the city and some lovely glimpses of its neigh- borhoud being in the list of this week's engravings. The illustration of the Do- micion capital is centinued—the Lover's Walk being one of the best pictures of the number. The famous canyon of the Cul- umbiais shown in a fine engraving. In portraiture this number is rich, and various parts of the Dominion are represented. The new Deputy Head of the State Depart- ment occupies the first page, and Senstors Botsford and Girard, and Messrs. O’Brien, M P., and Hall, M. P., represent the pub- lic men of the Maritime Provinces, old Canada and the North-west. Altogether, a comprehensive and interesting number.

—Most of our readers will remember the great scare in England, a few years ago, caused by the result of calculations fore- shadowing the early exhaustion of the great coal fields. The alarm has long since sub- sided, but an excitement, almost equally great in some quarters, though of a very different character, has just now been created by tae announcement of the dis- covery of new coal fields in Kent, in the south-east of England. The letter convey- iog the momentous announcement was delivered to Sir Edward Watkin, the great railway autocrat, onthe 17th ult., and is likely to become historical. It is, certainly, not often that it falls to the lot of anyone in these days to write or receive a letter con- taining news of a discovery likely to have so important a bearing upon the future of a nation, or a considerable part of one. The statement made in this instance was that **coal was reached at 1,180 feet below the surface, under conditions favorable tu the supposition that coal ip sufficient quantity to pay for working lies buried near the spot

here this was found, and at a reasonable depth along the South-Eastern Railway to the westward. A specimen of the coal was tested by burning and proved to be of govd bituminous character. Mr. Boyd Dawkins, the geologist, has examined the specimens, and contirms the report. He writes; *The coal measures with good blazing coal have been struck at a depth well within the practical miniag limit, and the question is definitely settled which has vexed geologists for the last thirty years. Further explorations, however, now under consideration, will be necessary before the thickness of the coal, and the number of the seams, can be ascertained.’ ”’

THE SLOW POISONING CASE.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

Before the Stipendiary Magistrate.

The Missing Witness Not Found.

—_————

A FURTHER ADJOURNMENT,

——

‘Tue prisoner and counsel were present at

the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court this forenoon—the former looking none the worse for her respites from attendance upon | the investigation.

Mr. Malcolm McLeod, Q. C., said that he was sorry to report that the witness who is missing has not yet been found ; that it is evident she is being helped by some persons to make her escape, and that he was there- fore compelled to ask a further adjourn- ment of eight days. He also said that he cousidered those engaged in helping the witness to keep away from the court guil: 7 of a criminal offence.

Mr. Peters said that he had mt ig to say in addition to what he had said last week.

The Magistrate said that if persons are guilty of a criminal conspiracy to aid the girl to escape, he hoped the counsel for the Crown would take steps to have them punished. It is an outrage teat in this country a witness summoned to appear before the court can be spirited away and not be discovered. The case would, he said, stand adjourned until Tuesday next, at 11 o'clock.

The St. Patrick's Day Celebration.

AT EMERALD.

The St. Patrick’s Day Concert at Emerald was one of the most successful ever held at that place, reflecting every credit upon all in‘any way interested. The hall in which the concert was given was filled, every seat being occupied, and upwards of a hundred were obliged to stand in the aisle and about the door. The programme appears below :

This programme was carried out in an effective manner. The address of R, R. Fitzgerald, Esq., which occupied about three-quarters of an hour in its delivery, wag weil received. It dealt with Irish af- fairs past and present, and his remarks were frequently greeted with applause. A cor- respondent, speaking of the address, says : “The address was somethiug choice. We never had anything like it here before, and we have had speeches from the cleverest and best orators on the Island. * ° It was a masterpiece of eloquence and logic.” Mr. A. E. Clarke, the popular station- master at Kensington, received a well-deserved encore for his song, ‘** Is that you, Mr. Reilly ?” and he respond- ed with a Chinese character song. Messrs. Angus McSween and W. F. Clarke, of Summerside, were also deservedly encored. Miss Barrait, of Charlotte- town, sung the ‘“‘Kerry Dance” to the great delight of all her hearers and ** McGinty,” who, it may be explained, was none other than our friend John Brad- ley, captured the audience with his stump speech. The instrumental music and the character sketches were also well given and duly appreciated. The amount realized was in the neighborhood of $60.

THE DAY AT SOURIS.

St. Patrick’s Day in the morning was foggy. Towards nine o’clock, however, the wind suddenly veered round to the west and it began to snow and blow some. Soon aiterold Sol peered through the clouds, promising fairer weather, which came in time for the march to church of the Bene- volent Irish Society. The procession, num- bering thirty-five members in full regalia, with their handsome greea banner, borne aloft by Mr. Thomas Shea, and headed by the Band, presented a very imposing ap- pearance as they proceeded through the village on their way to St. Mary’s Caurch, where High Mass was celebrated by ‘the pastor, Rev. Donald Francis McDonald, and asermen appropriate to the occasion delivered by the Rev. D. J. G. McDonald, of St. Margaret’s. ‘‘ Father Gregory’s” well known reputation as an accomplished public speaker was fully sustained on this oceasion. He began by pointing to the early life of St. Patrick, in which the foun- dation of future usefulness was laid by the teachin.s and example of pious pareits. The life of the Apostle and Patron Saint of lvvlortl, Dis prayers, biy peivatidns, bis

’

zeal, and self-sacrifice while preaching the gospel to the Lrish race in the fifth century, were then referred to in glowing and elo- quent language. He spoke without note or manuscript. His peroration, in which he appealed to his audience with thrilling effect to imitate the virtues and self-denials of the saint whose holy life would be com- memorated to-day all over the civilized world, but above ail to seek the favor and | forgiveness of Jesus, our great Exemplar, | who died, the Just for the unjust, that. fallen man might gain eternal life.

By many preseut it was considered that, the rev. gentleman’s effort on this occasion | was the address of his life.

Religious services being over, the pro- cession re-formed, and, accompanied by the band, marched back to their lodge room.

In the Court House in the evening, according to announcement, the following programme was carried out which con- cluded the day’s proceedings in celebration of St. Patrick's at Souris: —

CONCERT IN THE LYCEUM,

THE annual concert given by the Bene- volent Irish Society came off in the Lyceum last evening. The audience was large, fil- ling the building, and the published pro- gramme was carried out ina manner that was evidently satisfactory to the audience, as almostevery number wasencored. Mr. McCourt’s opening address was short and pointed, and well given. It consisted main- ly of a review of the work done by the Ben- evolent Irish Society, a rehearsal of the names of the many gifted men that Ire- land has produced, and a sketch of the home rule agitation now in progress. The vocalists were Mrs. Strickland, Mrs. James Byrne, Miss Tillie Brown, Professor Tanton, Master Henry Ander- son and Mr. McNally—and each sung well. The violin solos by Miss Macdonald and Master James Hyndman, and the cornet solo by Mr. C. P. Fletcher were played in fine style; and the piano music furnished by Mrs. Doyle, Miss Benoit and Messrs. Tanton and Foster, was excellent. Miss Nellie Lawson’s reading was well given; and the accompaniments by Miss Hyndman, Miss Caven and Messrs. Tanton and Watson were capital. The duets by Messrs. McDougall and McNally and Messrs. Foster and Anderson were well rendered, as was also the quartette by Messrs. Leigh, Stair, Foster and Tanton. A well-written poem by Mrs. A. D. McLeod was read by Mr. James Mclsaac,

ST.. PATRICK'S DAY AT SUMMERSIDE.

The celebration in Summerside was brought to a close with a concert in Market Hall. ‘The programme was made up of vo- cal and instrumental music, and an address by the Rev. A. E.° Burke, of Alberton. There was a large audience present, aud everyone was delighted with the capital manner in which the pregramme was ren- dered. Father Burke’s address is spoken ot as splendid effort.

Is Society Deteriorating ?

(The Empire.)

A writer in oneof the English reviews complains of the deterioration of society which has taken place among ‘**the upper- ten thousand” in his own country during the present generation He aflirms of this class, that they are a more vulgar people than they once were, and, what is most to be regretted, that this growing vulgarity is not something which appertains to the sur- face, but has its root in a lower social and moral tone. So far as merely surface vir- tues and graces are concerned they have improved. Their traveling manners are better than they were formerly. Their hauteur has been modified, and they have le.rned to treat strangers with greater de- ference and respect. And yet, with all this and more that is commendable in the well- bred people of the period, there is every- where discernible among them the presence of a lower social tone. Nor can this be ac- counted for by the growth of the popula- tion. It is rather, perhaps, to be regarded as an incident of a state of political and social tradition. Money has, apparentiy, acquired an influence which it never had betere. Wealth, to an extent which it never did before, is taking the place of rank and fame, and everything else which served to give social distinction in the past.

No one is excluded from the very high- est social circles, according to this writer, ** if he be only rich enough to entertain or notorious enough to form a spot—some- times a very black one—of attraction to the crowd.” ‘* The only question of import- ance is whether he means to entertain sumptuously, lavishly; and ultimately, if there should be daughters, whether their positions are on a corresponding scale.” | And this jeellag is not confined to the! young and thoughtless, who might be ex-) pected to be caught with this glare. Even the venerable dowager, who, one would | magine, must be suffering from social, as | well as physical, indigestion, bares her shoulders gladly, ** as martyrs of old bared their throats tothe punishment of another erush,” And all for what? Not for the

purpose of bringin ether the most) ayrédable bhementy uf shou fdy wx: |

change of thought and sentiment, or for the display of wit end humor, which are the spice and poetry of life, but for the purpose of witnessing and taking part in a vVuiyar display—vulgar because of its costiiness and profusion. Prodigality, net unfre- quently allied te ostentation, tollows as the natura! sequence of accepting a moneyed standard in society.

No wonder, this author thinks, that con- versation is coming tu be reckoned among the lost arts. The demand for it no longer | exists. The brilliant talkers of other times, | who in their day it was considered the greatest privilege to hear, would at present be voted a bore by people whose only claim | to social distinction hes in the weight of | their purse. Who would or could: tilk | with such people for listeners /

tion is given from what the writer had him- | (late of Mr. John Coombs’ he until the end of the present

self observed. He had seen a banister | covered with priceless orchids. And, oi! course, where hospitality is dispensed on, this expensive and ostentatious scale, |

even the semblance of privacy can scaacely be maintained, The hostess, | if she desired it, could scarcely be

safe from the interviewer. But when she is not desirous of anything of the sort, which appears to be too generally the case, all the facts connected with her entertainment and | her guests are apt to find their way into the! society papers. And thus does the vuigariz- Ing process go on,

We give as we find it the foregoing view of what is going on in the uppgr-tendom of | the Old World, especially in the centre of civilization, nothing extenuating and set- ting naught drwn in malice. We sincerely hope that the picture is overdrawn. To encourage this hope we have the fact that; in memoirs, plays and other light literature, | we find the same laments over the deca- | dence of manners and morals, the same complaints of a growing worship of money and power of the purse, under the Georges, the Stuarts and even the Tudors. Yet as we compare one period with another we find a steady advance of the tide of civilization.

These things, however, are not written for the sake of those on the other side of the Atlantic, but ‘‘for our learning.”

—The Scotch are a wonderful people. It is only the paucity of their members, com- bined with their generous instincts and strong sense of justice, that has kept them from subduing the world. Sir J. Crichton Brown, in his lectures at Birmingham on ‘* Brain Growth,” gives figures of the aver- age weight of brain enjoyed by different races. The French brain weighs 47.9 ounces, the German 483, the English 49 and the Scotch 50 ounces. In view of this brain development with all that it implies, and of various other circumstances, the cautious assertion of a Scutchman, that the immortal Shakespeare ‘* had parts that would justify the inference that he was a Scotchman,” may contain much of abstract truth.
