Tue inexhaustible mine from which the Patriot has been obtaining its supply of locals, has ap y given out. Having used up the “nuaber of widows, widowers, etc., in Charlottetown ; carpenters, black- smiths, lime-kilns, etc., in the Island,” it is obliged as a dernier resort, to go back five yeors in its dates, as witness : ‘‘ Five years ago there were 215 shipbuilders in P.

It is a singular fact that the cheapness of an article shou!d ever temporarily retard ite sale, and yet that was the experience of Messrs. Tuckett & Son in the introduction of their now celebrated *‘ Myrtle Navy” tobacco. People who had been in the habit of smoking the finest Virginia tobacco, could not for a time be made to believe that they were offered the same article at about one half the price, and it was only by slow degrees that they were induced to put the question to the test of an actual trial. When they did adopt that test, however, it never failed to satisfy them.

Tue recent snow block on the mainland was the occasion of an act of gallantry on the part of an Island boy, which is worthy of note. Mr. John A. Allen—son of Sergeant Allen— who is engaged at McAdam Junction, was the first to voluntoer to convey food to the prssengers of four trains, snow bound at some distance from that station. In the midst of the storm he mounted a trolly, laden with biseuit, ete,, and, w.th two other brave men, succeeded in relieving the hunger of the im- prisoned passengers, after a toilsome passage ia which four hours were occupied in running tive and a half mile.

The Riel Question!

Orrawa, March I6.

Tae House mt at three o'clock. Tae in- troduction of public bilis and Government orders were passed over.

Oa public bills and orders being called, Mr. Allan moved the second reading of the act to extend the jurisdiction of the Maritime Court 6f Ontario.

Sir Hector moved in ammendmont that the House proceed to Landry's re- solution.

Mr, Blake objected that © Allan’s

bill would be dropped if the amendment succeeded.

Hon. Mr. Langevin said that if Allan would withdraw his bill he would withdraw his amendment, provided the Leader of the Opposition agreed to make no objection to the House going at once to the Riel resolu- tion This was agreed to by Mr. Blake.

_ Rykert then spoke on the Riel resolu- tion. He referred to the charges against the Government for moving the previous question, and showed that the effect of it, under the rales of the House, was to bring about a direct vote on the resoiution of cen- sure of the Government. There could now be ne shirking of the vote by the Opposi- tion, while. the fullest opportunity. was affcrded for the discussion of the resolution Mr. Rykert complained that Blake, as usual, had not given expression to his views on this subject. He showed that the McDonald-Cartier Government never proposed an amnesty for Riel in the first rebellion, and that Riel came on the second occasion into Canada for mercenary motives. Quoting from Girouard’s speech of last session, he showed there were no grounds for the rebellion among the Metis, Quoting Mr. Mackenzie's speech of come years age, he showed that Mackenzie took the broad principle that no acts cf the Government justified rebellion, and that Sir Richard Cartwright had declared no man could have sympathy with a rebel who should start a rebellion in an Indian country. He followed the Oppo- sition from point to point in various attitudes they had assumed toward the Riel matter, and showed that one and all had wanted Riel hanged, when they thought the Government was not going to hang him, but had turned sharply round when the Government had vindicated law and order by allowing these things to take effect, and condemned the Government for the execution.

After Rykert closed, Beechard spoke a short time. He admitte! that the Rouges could not rely upon the recalcitrant Bleus, who, he doubted not, would go back to the Tory party.

The question being called, and no one rising, the Depnty Speaker rose to put the question.

Laurier sprang up at the last second amidst much laughter and spoko to the question.

A Conflict of authorities

Newcastie, March L6. Considerable excitement was created here to-day on arrest of Chief of the Police, Stewart, of Hamiiton, who arrived here with Cadley, the forger. Tho warrant to acrest Stewart was issued by Justice Wort- man, of Moncton, for contempt. Upon examination the warrant was declared in- complete and insufficient to detain the Chief, “who was at-ence released. Judge Sinclair, of Wentworth, telegraphed Stewart that the New Brunswick authorities have no jurisdiction, .and to proceed with his prisoner to Hamilton, where the original papers for the arrest of Cadly are. Marshal Thibedeau, of Moncton, re-arrested Stew- art, when Stewart got on board the train and told the officers he would not go with them and dared them to take him. They pulled him off the train. A special was then hired and the party left for Moncton.

Shipping Disaster.
