| “Is this a Mistake?”
My Dear Sin,—I have, in my possession,
a r signed ‘* Clanranald,” which, | 0 , that the writer had a good right so to sign, fer I agree with Fergus Maclvor,
, Vich Ian Vohr, that “the lineal chief of a olan is superior in rank to any Earl.”
But, in your issue of Tuesday evening, I read 3 patch from Ottawa, signed, in your paper, *“*“De Winton.”
Is this a mistake of the Press?
Or, if not, under what Foreign Poten- tate, having ‘‘no jurisdiction in this Realm of England” * is the Peerage claimed by ‘Lieutenant Colonel De Winton, Secretary to
! ©f Aig Excellency the Governor General, and
, Commander-ia-Chief, (see Chappelle’s Al- manac.”) I remain, my dear sir, Yours very truly, Ropert Bruce Stewart, Earl of Evandale and Strathgartney, under King James the Thirdy and his son, King Charles the Third, of Great Britain, Ireland and France.,

North River Takes the Lead. Sir,—'' A North River Boy” has felt the reproof respecting the statem that have ;been published concerning the den of thieves, as formerly called, that are con- tinually molesting the honest farmers of | North River and the adjacent settlements. ‘The “‘ North River Boy” ought to remem- _ber that we only reprove a gang that ‘is | known by a majorityof the inhabitants of | P. E. Island to bea public nuisance. The ‘* North River Boy” has stated that Corn- | wall harbors thieves more competent to rob ‘churches and church yards than the thieves lof his own” settlement ; but that is clearly
and comfort known by the-public to be an impossibility.
| Cornwall, like ‘almost all settlements, may sometimes‘ harbor a few thieves that occa.
that are causifg® the people for miles around to feel alarmed. : Your’s,

‘It will give support to the temperance movement and encouragement to temper- ance habits. Mr. Blake and his friends, who childishly refused to act on the com- mittee to prepare the bill, evidently feel that they made a mistake—so far as work- ing any political capital ont of the matter is concerned.’’-— Fredericton (N. B ) Capital.
An editorial writer in the Globe the other day announced that Sir John Macdonald had fixed the licensing bill to meet the wishes of the licensed victuallers. The same writer, who also contributes to a weekly Grit paper called the Tribune, states that Sir John has made the restrictions and restraints upon licensed victuallers under the new law ‘“‘galling,” and that the vic- tuallers ‘‘ asked for a fish and they got a serpent.” This is wearing two faces under one hat with a vengeance.—Torunte Mail.
Mr. Desnoyers, a member of the Mon- treal Licensing Board, is much pleased with the new license law. In an interview with a Montreal Witness reporter he stated that under the new Provincial statute the com- missioners were obliged to grant every appli- cation for a license, provided the applicant did not bear a bad character. Thus there was no limit placed upon the number of licenses issued. Under the new law the number of licenses to be issued bears a fixed proportion to the population, and of course the issue of licenses is limited. This is a good feature of the law, but the Re- formers wh» also pretend to be of a temper- ance turn of mind do not appreciate it.

The poet has informed us that ‘‘the man that lays his hand upon a woman, save in the way of kindness, is a wretch,” and in such a light Mrs. Welsh, of Pittsburg, viewed her husband Thomas. He attempt- ed to playfully pound her ; but she reseut- ed, and seizing a red-hot bayonet which had been used as a poker, thrust him through the lungs, inflicting fatal injuries. It is true that Tom was a brute and a coward, but at the same time to prod him with a | red-hot bayonet seems kind of sudden and severe.
At a Conservative demonstration on Wed- nesday the Marquis of Salisbury delivered an address, in which he denounced to Gov- ernment’s policy in Egypt and Africa, and urged the discontinuance of bitter party antagonisms.

Death ofa Noted Canadiah.
The following brief notice has beeri made of the death of Mr..Isbister, whose namo must occupy a prominent place in Canadian history :—
Alexander Kennedy Isbister, M. A., LL B., whose death is announced in a @éspatch from London, was chiefly known for the part he took ‘in wresting what waa once known as the Red River Colony from the He was a native of Canada, and was bern in 1823. He was graduated at the University of Edinburgh as M.A, &nd subsequently received the degree of» EM. B.,: from the University of Londen. (Bp due time he was called to the Bar, and subsequently filled
Ae grammar school, He took a great interest in educational! matters, und for mang years was editor of the Educational Times, be- sides publishing panidreus school text books. In 1872 he was chosen Dean ~* the College of Preceptors. In 1849, having
been appointed standing counsel and agent of the Red ‘River Colony, Mr. Ishister devoted hinself to
the task of aiding tie colonists in breaking up the Hudson Bay Company's monopoly, which was a serious o}stacle to the advance- ment of the settlement. His c pon- dence with tbe Colonial Office on this sub- ject is very voluminous and fillg more than one Biue-book, In 1856, with the,aid of Mr. Gladstone, the late Duke of Newcastle and others, he secured the appointment of a House of Commons committee to make an investigation. The result of this was that after a few more years of negotiation ghe Hudson Bay Company, in consideration of $300,000, surrendered all their rights of exclusive trade and jurisdiction in British North America. This. was the first step leading to the subsequent accession of British Colambiaand Vauconver’s Island and the formatjon of the confederation of all the Britigh.colonies in North America
under the it of the Dominion of Canada. oo nr em : se : Tan a8 a Disinfectant, ¥
One of thegadst powerfal of disinfectants is tan, or the debris of tannery, employer in the preparation of skins, and it is to c re- gretted that if is not oftener used, for it is within the reach of everyone and at a moderate price. Tannin, the chemical principle which nature seoms to have iin-
‘pregnated into the bark of trees to protect
them from thousands of insects. which at- tack them on every side, has a very strong smell, which keeps off all parasites, great or small ; and everyone knows that tannin
vents f ion, and destroys most of the virus, thus often preserving us from contagion, which would in time commit great havoc. On that acoount (says L’ Aviculteur) it is a known fact that in Franze country people cannot give up the idea of losing the skin or hide of any animal which has died from contagious disease, not- withstanding all sanitary orders to the contrary. There is in the action of tannin an indisputable fact, and of which up to now people have taken no great account ; and one can easily believe, as it has been reported, that in tan yards and at leather dressers, where the wieanipulation and waste emitted at times as a most disagree- able odour, it is known that people employ- ed in these establishments have escaped epidemics and contagious diseases. At all eventa, it is quite certain that in tan-yards vermin never make their appearance. This is a capital remedy, and little known, to disembarrass habitations of that repug- nant and tenacious insect which, in warm countries especially, cause such sleepless nights. Merely spread over the floor of the room infested a thick layer of tan, close hermetically doors and windows for some days, repeat this two or three times, and the place will be freed from these trouhie- some Visitors.

Military Notes.
The newly-raised Egyptian Artillery is said to be in a more forward state, and to give greater promise for the future, than the other branches of the Khedive’s army. The artillery has, indeed, always been a corps d elite in Egypt, the officers and men being especially selected, and scientifically trained.
The War Office hea decided not for the present to extend the movement for the formation of mounted riflemen in connec tion with volantcer corps, but will await the result of the experiment being made by the Earl of Mount Edgecumbe, in connection with the Princess of Wales’ volunteers at Plymouth.
Mr’ Childers’ scheme for the territoria!- ization of the British army is an acknow- ledged success, sco far as it relates to the infantry and artillery, but there is a pros pect that it may have to be abandoned for the cavalry. A genera) order is under con- sideration providing that the recruiting for the cavalry shall be conducted under a dif ferent system.
One-half of the twelve prominent princes and generals upon whom the Emperor Wil- liam of Germany conferred the rank of field- marshal general in 1870-73 are dead, viz : Von Steimmetz, Count Roon, Count Wran- gel, (who, however, received the title as long ago as 1856), Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, Prince Charles of Prussia,and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Those who survive are the Crown Prince, Prince Frederick Charles, Count Moltke, Prince August of Wurtemburg, Baron von Menteuffel, and Genera] Herworth von Bit- tenfield.

Hon. Peter Mitchell participates in the opinion generally entertained regarding Mr. Blake’s inane criticisms of Ministerial mea- snres during the late session. He says : ‘During the session I do not think Mr. Blake has done anything to improve his po- sition or that of his party, and Sir John has proved himself as astute and able a leader
as ever.”
