| Review.

One ot the plasantest books published in Canada for some time is **the explorations of Jonathan Oldbuck, Esq., in Eastern Latitudes,” O!dbuck being thedistinguished antiquary, J. M. LeMoine, of Spencer Grange, Sillery, Q., past president of the Royal Society of Canada, and honorary member of several societivs, Canadian and foreign. If we mistake not, Spencer Grange is itself a centre of historical asseci- ations, although the details have escaped us. At allevents, it is known as a Mecca of literary man.

A: might be anticipated from t.. title, the book is a cheery melange of “ustory, legend, description of scenery and sport. The scenes explored are Quebec proper, Montmorenci, the Good St. Anne, Fort Ja -qu-sCartier, the Saguenay district, Mon- treal, Rimouski, Prince Edward Island aud ‘the Magdalens, all well-known localities, , but seldom so agreeably described. Some thirty pages are taken up with the log of the H r -ndelle, a yacht that makes us _re- | gret we were not on board.

Mr. LeMoine is old enough to remember having seen, when a small boy, the patriot or rebel (opinions differ which) Papine»u.

,** The great statesman,” he says, ‘* being ‘pressed for time, could uet step even to receive addresses ; it was therefore decided by the dominie of the school (St. Thomas) that an address, brief but gushing, should ‘be delivered to the liberatur, as the car- riage rolled past the school on its way to Kamarouska. To the tallest boy was al- lotted the envied honor. He, as well as his comrades, had been suitably drilled for the nonce in court etiquette : allthe * hope- tuls’ were to stand in line on the roadside, and when in presence of the carriage the tallest boy was to advance three steps, right foot first, take off his cap and deliver in a loud, measured voice this patriotic saluta- tion or address: ‘Honorand glory to the brave and generous defender of our rights ! hourah! hourah! hourah!’ So it was done. The three hourahs were given with deafening cheers, all hats off. The defend- er of our rights gracefully bowed to us, As the tallest of the boys was your humble servant, he entry in this old diary may be relied on.”

Of P. E. Island Oldbuck says: ** Flow- ing streams, woods and fertile plains,’ such indeed would be an appropriate motto for this green, sunny and populous little king- dom.” Mr. LeMoin’s visit was of some years back, when, as he says, the Khedive Hodgson was preparing to abdicate, but even then he, as an intelligent stranger could not fail to note the advantages that Confederation opened to the Island. ‘* Is Prince Edward Island worse off than her neighbors?” he asks. ‘We opine not. Confederation exists as a fait accompli. It has opened to our insulated brethren the markets of all British North America; pro- vided funds, some $800,000, to extinguish vexed propriety questions and rights, there- by healing a festering sore of long stand- ing; completed the line of Island railway, at ah enormous cost, continues to run it at an enormous luss. The Dominion even paternally undertook to solve, at a heavy outlay, the insoluble problem of winter steam§navigation, to connect the Island with terra firma; provides {for the expense of the civil list, of the fishery and other services; allthis in exchange for what ? Why, in exchange for a meagre Custom, Excise, and Postal Revenue. To an un- sophisticated outsider Confederation for the [sland means real tangible and substan- tial benefit. P. E. Island is undoubtedly smarting. though not tejthe same extent as the rest of the world, under commercial depression. Shipping may be under a cloud, &c., but the backbone of the Island in agricultural resourses is sound; and in spite of bad times and low prices, its indus- trious and intelligent farmers are hoarding up their spare cash, not in old socks, like our friend Jean Baptiste, in the Province of Quebec, but in solid well-managed savings banks.”

By the way, we have the authority of the Antiquary for saying that the real name of — is Racicot, so called from a fort on

oland’s Point, named after M. Racicot, a Frenchman who returned to France when the Island passed into the hands of the British. Our author also relates the legend that gave name to Hunter River, but with more romantic details than the popular version. He does not, however, mention, —although so well authenticated by eye- witnesses (!)—-the spectre ship and the light on Tryon bar.

The book is embellished with a view of Spencer Grange, in the foreground of which we recognize portraits of the author and his famous St. Bernard’s dog ‘* Wolffe,” as also of two graceful female figures peeping among the flowers, one of whom may be Mary Mclntyre, but the other cannot be Miss Grizzel Oldbuck. Of all Mr. Le- Moine’s many works, in English and French on Canadian topics, these ‘* Explorations” seem to us the most pleasantly adapted for holiday reading. Chappelle, no doubt, has the work.

Bishop Courtney's Visitation.

His Lordship the Bishop of Nova Scotia visited Kensington on Tuesday last. accom- panied by the Ven. Archdeacon Weston- Jones. After luneheon at the Rectory, the infant daughter of the Rev. Mr. Reagh and Mrs, Reagh was baptized by His Lord- ship—the name given beimg Ada Lily. Evening prayer was then said by the In- cumbent, the Archdeacon reading the les- sons. The Bishop preached an eloquent sermon from the text, second Corinthians, third verse, and was listened to with wrapt attention by the very large congregation present. - After the service a few encouraging words were spoken by His Lordship to the Wardens and Vestrymen of St. Marks, and sympathetic and loving counsel given as to the management of the affairs of the Church, and the best means of promoting the pros- perity of the parish were pointed out. An account of the visitation as recorded by the Bishop in the Register will appear in the next issue of the Church Magazine.

Felegraphic @dds and Ends. A BUDGET OF GENERAL NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

WasnincTon, Aug. 4.—-The Department of State has received from the legation at Pekin, China, an account of the death and extravrdinary life work of the Rev. J. Crossett, an independent American mission- ary. Orossett’s life was devoted to doing good to the poorest classes of Chinese. He was known hy the Chinese as the Christian Buddah. IL.. belonged to no organization.

QuEBEC, Aug. 14.—Never for years past were wages so high as at present. ‘the shoe factories are «!! on full time and ship laborers are so scarce that many ships in port are working short-handed. Lumber- men are now being engaged to go tothe woods, and it is found necessary to pay them $36 to $60 per month for liners, hew- ers aud broadaxe men,

Hatirax, Aug. 14.—Last evening private Hill, of the West Riding Regiment, who has been on guard duty on MeNabb’s Is- land, intimated to ove of the soldiers there that <‘‘ this is a queer world.” Nothing was thought of this remark uutil about 12.30 this morning, when the report of a gun was heard in Hill’s apartment. On going to his sleeping room a horrible sight was presented, Hill was lying in a pooi of blood with the top of his head completely blown off, his brains being spattered over the walls. The deceased had placed the muzzle of a Martini-Henry rifle in his mouth and by means of a strap attached to the trigger and his foot, had succeeded in discharging the contents of the gun through his mouth, blowing off the whole crown of his head. The immediate cause of the suicide was a letter from his girl in Eng- land jilting him.

LANCASTER, Px., Aug. 14.-—Master Car- penter Beard, with 100 men, jacks and trestles, moved the Pennsylvani railroad bridge near Mill Creek to-day. The brigde, which is of iron, 258 feet long, and which weighs 250 tons, was moved 450 feet in twelve minutes. Fifty-eight minutes after the work was begun a freight train and two engines passed over the structure. Several thousand persons watched the engineering feat.

Montreat, Aug. 14.—The annual meet- ing of the Dominion Grey Cotton Associa- tion was held here to-day in the Windsor Hotel, with A. F. Gault, the President, in thechair. The mills represented were the Nova Scotia Cotton Co., at Halifax; Wind- sor, St. John, Gibson’s, Moncton; Hoche- laga, Kingston, Merriton, Braven and Coaticooke. Mr. Gault presented the an- nual report, which was adopted. The In- spector’s report showed the amount of scock {on hand to be 2,200 bales, which was less than the production of the above mentioned milis running four weeks on full time. In consequence of the high price of cotton it was resolved tu close down the mills during the first and last weeks of September, so that with the small stock on hand the posi- tion would naturally be a strong one. Prices are to remain unchanged ranging up to 244 cts. per lb., and finer grades to 26 cts. ‘The following executive committee was appointed to look after the affairs of the Association: A. F. Gault, J. Minnes, and W. Curry. It was further resolved to continue the Association for another year The election of officers resulted as follows : A. F. Gault, President; J. H. Parks, Vice- President; A. P. Plimsoll, Secretary; W. Findley, Inspector. ‘The prospect for fall and spring business was considered good and the outlook generally promising.

Kryeston, Ont., Aug. 14.-—Bishop Cleary has received a letter from the Archbishop of Ephesus, who was Dr. Cleary’s professor in the Irish college at Rome forty-tive years ago, congratulating him on the ele- vation of the See of Kingston inte an Archdiocese.

Banrr Horer, N. W. T., Aug. 14.—Over 50 members of the medical association left for the east to-day. Toronto was selected as the next place of meeting. The follow- ing officers were elected forthe ensuing year: Dr. James Ross of Toronto, presi- dent; Dr. James Bell of Montreal, secre- tary; Dr. W. H. B. Aikins of Toronto, treasurer; vice presidents, Dr. Eberis ot British Columbia, Dr. Brett of the North- west Territories, Dr. Spencer of Manitoba, Rev. B. Smith of Ontario, Dr. Lachapelie of Quebec, Dr. Holden of New Brunswick, Dr. Johnson of Nova Scotia, Dr. McLeod of Prince Edward Island,

Rirwineuam, Ala., Aug. 13.—A remark- able religious craze prevails among the negroes near Bessemer and the country in- termediate between that place and Bir- mingham. For some time an old negro named Tobias Jackson has been proclaim- ing himself as Daniel, the prophet, and doing all kinds of singular things. The darkies in this section are ignorant and superstitious, and Jackson’s actions and the great powers he claims to have been invest- ed with have awed the negroes. On Satur- day last Jackson persuaded three young negro men that they were representatives of Shadrach, Meshech and Abednego, the three children of faith who entered the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar: He pro- claimed that a furnace, where iron is meited and cast into all kinds of forms, was the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar, and that they could enter and pass through without the smell of fire. The three negroes, calling themselves the three children ot Israel, under the influence of their new prophet, deliberately entered the gate of the cupola of the furnace, and rushed headlong, before they could be stopped, into the white heat of the melting iron. When they failed to come out, Jackson proclaimed that he saw them rising in the air with the smoke of the furnace, attended by angels, and said that they would revisit the earth again next (Sunday. The negrves propose to meet at church next Sunday and pray, awaiting the descent of the three children of Israel. The mother of ove of them said, when asked about the matter: “‘1 feel jes’ as tho’ my boy is in heaben as l’d done been dar an’ seed ‘im. Jackson, de prophet, comman

him to walk de fiery furnace an’ he ‘bliged ter "bey him.”’
