An Islander Abroad.
| Ir always affords us much pleasure to} chronicle the success of our fellow-colonists |
abroad. A correspondent of the Christian | Standard, Wm. F. Cowden, under the| heading ‘‘ Kentucky University,” pays
some very hich compliments to one of this | year’s graduates, Mr. Henry A. McDonald, | son of the late James McDonald, Esq., | Kingsborough, Lot 47,P. E. I. He writes : | ‘**To H. A. MeDonald, of Kingsborough,
Prince Edward Island, a graduate of the College of Arts, was assigned the distin-
guished honor of pronouncing the validic-
tory address. In introducing Mr. Mec-
Donald, President Loos, referring to the Britiah flag which decorated the wall in| the rear of the platform, paid a handsome | compliment to Queen Victoria as the noblest
Queen and one of the best and noblest
women on earth. He referred to the
presence on the platform of two of her
Majesty's subjects, Mr. McDonald from
Prince Edward Island. and Mr. Thurgood,
of Australia, almost antipodal provinces of the great Empire, as a striking illustration
of the truth of England's proud boast that | ‘‘en Her Majesty's Dominions the sun
never sets.”
Mr. MeDonal!d,on rising, and before pro- ceeding with his address, out of a full heart thanked the President for the kindly tribute so handsomely paid to his country and his Queen, and expressed his sincere satisfaction, after several years of colleze life, during which he had heard his country and his flag roundly abused, in now hear- ing the distinguished gentleman who pre- sides over this University utter these words of eloquent praise. This delightful im promptu episode elicited from the audience the heartiest approbation and applause.
** The valedictory was the best address of the kind I ever heard,” was the general remark expressed on every hand, Full of pathetic réemiviscences, trembling anticipa- tions, and tender farewells, elegant in dic tion and eloquent in utterance, and closing with a touching tribute to the memory of Jimmie Stockdell, a deceased schoolmate, and « universal favorite, it left the audience subdued and in tears.”
We may add that Mr. McDonald was formerly a student at Prince of Wales College. He was ordained into the Chris- tian Ministry on the 18th June, last, and has received and accepted a call to the Church at Bowmanville, Ontario, at a salary of S800a year. We wish him every success in the high calling which he has chosen.

Eouth American Troubles.
The message of the President of Chili is well received by the people of that country. The President is undoubtedly desirous of ending the contest. He is removing from office the strong partisans of extreme mea- sures and replacing them by others who support his peace policy. There seems little doubt that the whole north of Peru will soon be given up by the Chilians, and some persons believe that they will even abandon Lima. Quiet citizens fea: that anarchy will ensue. The revolutionary prefects in Peru have plundered the country of $1,000,000 during the past year. A meraber of the Chilian Congress inter- pellated the Chilian Ministry on fifteen subjects relating to the war, and interest- ing revelations are expected. He also asks that all correspondence with Trescot* be laid on the table, as also all evidence taken in the case of the Cobija custom house officials accused of tampering with despatch- es for Adams, United States Minister to Bolivia. A bill has been introduced into the Chilian Congress, declaring all terri- tory to be Chilian up to Cameron's Valley. The peace party is fast gaining the ascen4- ancy in Bolivia. The revolution in Ecua- dor is still progressing. Gen. Vientimilla having declared himself dictator, has no one in his favor. He dreads assassination, and will not leave his residence.

Mr. Blake as a Leader.
Montreal Gazette.
The truth is that Mr. Blake has through. ont made a terrible blunder. He has shown his unfitness for leadership in noth- ing so much as in his utter failure to understand the popular impulse and the popular want. He has failed to see that Canadians to-day have no taste for the dis- cussion of constitutional changes or politi- cal abstractions. They are desperately intent upon the work of building up the national prosperity of the country. Mr. Mackenzie failed in 1878, becanse he re fused to understand this great fact; and Mr. Blake has failed now, because, with much less excuse, he has failed either to learn it or to understand it. His childish talk about the proportion of a man’s shirt or a woman’s dress that had to go to Ottawa, inspired nobody and disgusted a great many. People preferred the evi- | dence of their own eyelight, and the| lessons of their own daily experience, to the tine drawn theories of even so accom- plished a hair splitter as the leader of the | Opposition.

Guiteau’s Sanity.
GENERAL RESULTS OF THE EXAMINATION OF THE BRAIN—OPINIONS OF LEADING PHY- SICIANS AND OTHERS — THE ASSASSIN’S FORTITUDE ON THE SCAFFOLD A MYTH MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS.
Wasurnoton, July 3.—Dr. McWilliams, assistant physician of the gaol, does not think Guiteau showed all the firmness in his last hours with which he has been credited. He says :—‘‘ I visited the gaol on Thursday at midnight, and found him sitting on his bed, staring into vacancy, the most perfect picture of despair I ever beheld. Next morning the guard reported he slept none during the night. He would occasionally go into a doze, and start out of it with an inarticulate sound, The ofli- cers say he ate nothing for breakfast. He may have put something in his mouth, but it amounted to nothing. It was the same way at dinner, when he was said to have eaten a hearty meal. I learned from the guards that he broke down into perfect despair, and wept freely ; it was necessary to make every exertion to keep him up. When Crocker read the death-warrant Guiteau was evidently agitated, but was able to stand. When he reached the top of the scaffold he faltered, not stumbled. In reading his ‘ prayer’ he wavered so ex- cessively that Crocker at one time was anxious to stop it. 1 was just back of the seaffold, and could hear him catching his breath, and struggling to control it. It was dreadful.”
Dr. McWilliams says it is not true that Guiteau’s brain was found to be soft and yielding. The adhesion in places of the membrane to the skull proved nothing. In Daniel Webster’s brain the whole brain adhered to the skull. A prominent phy- sician who carefully examined Guiteau’s brain says it was healthy, and as free from exciting or irritating causes as the brain of the sanest citizen of Washington.
Drs. Harting, Lamb, and Somers, the examiners of Guiteau’s brain, met to-day to complete the work. The main features of the report, which will be written by Dr. Lamb, were agreed upon. There is good authority for stating that its conclusions were accurately foreshadowed by the des- patches last week. It will embody numer- ous photographs, and elaborate microscopic analyses.
aiidine ay. iii dimsiatins eta Political Notes.
Mr. Blake is sulking already. There was a great demonstration the other day at Norfolk, to celebrate the Opposition victory, and with a flourish of trumpets it was announced that the leader of the Oppo sition was to be present. The demonstra- tion came off but Mr. Blake was not there. a rather significant fact in view of his ostentatious announcement that he had
given up practice, and was about to give |
his whole time to the service of his party. Poor man, his wounded spirit will not yet bear the light of day.—Montieal Gazette.
After all the puffing and blowing about a great liberal victory in Prince Edward Island, it appears that all over the Island the Liberals only received a majority of forty-three votes. If to the Conservative vote is added the hundreds of ballots which wonld have been deposited had it not hap- pened that a Returning Officer neglected to furnish the necessary ballot papers in a number of di@sions, it will be found that Gritism, as elsewhere, is in a bad minority in. the tight little isle down by the sea.— Toronto Mail,
In Queen’s County, P. E. Island, the re- turning officer failed to supply his deputies in several of the divisions with sufticient ballot papers. The consequence was that many electors were disfranchised, and the Government candidate—for these divisions were Conservative strongholds—lost votes. At one polling place the ballots were ex- hausted by half-past three, and the poll was then closed. This was a silly mistake on the part of the returning officer, but it is stated that the defeated Conservative candidates are about to take steps to rectify it. As the error has injured the Conserva- tive cause, the Grit organs are not at all troubled about it ; they do not even call it an outrage.—Toronto Mail.
The Toronto Telegram (independent grit) calls attention to the position of Hon. Mr. Mackenzie as a ‘‘land shark.” We repub- lish the article in another column. But Mr. Mackenzie is not alone. Among his fellow *‘sharks” are Mr. J. G. Foster, Hon. William Annand, Sir R. J. Cartwright, Mr. Charles Annand, Hon. M. C. Cameron, and other burning and shining lights of gritism.—H~zx. Herald.
