CuARLes Stewart PARNELL may well make and unmake Ministries. He is a lineal de- scendant, ia the fifteenth generation, of Rich- ard Neville, Earl of Warwick, famed in his- tory as “the King-maker.” It may also be observed that Mr. Parnell, Earl of Spencer, avd the Marquis of Hartington are blood cousins. Parnell and Spencer being descend- ants in the seventh and Hartington in the eighth generation of John Mordaunt, Viscount

Avalon. So says one of the English pspers —_——_~>——_—

Harry Brenner, one of the crew of

the schr. Blizzard, tells a harrowing

tale concerning tie experience of that vessel on the trip from Boston to St, Pierre, Miq. He says that about midnicht on the 20th ult., flames were seen iesuing from the forecastle, where two of the crew were asleep. The watch on deck rushed into the burning por- tion of the vessel and succeeded in dregzing the men on deck. Both were unconscious, wero terribly burned about the face, head and hands, and presented a ghastly appearance These men had to be temporarily neglected while all hands fought the rapidly spreading flames. After desperate exertions the fire was controlled, but not until after the cargo had been seriously damaged. Everything possible was done for the two men, until St. Pierre was reached, when they were sent to the hoepital, where death soon ended their sufferings, eee Says the Halifax Herald: ’ the H¢rald outlined some alleged violations of the customs law by Wm. Dearden, wholesale jeweler of Montrea!, and the seizare of goods belonging to him by Halifax officials, valued at some $15,000. A special custom officer has been in the city some days investigating the case, bat the result is thst Mr. Deardon has been fined by the customs department $12,000 for violations of the law, Upon the payment of this little sum, all the g0o0 1s seized from him, hia books, papers, etc , besides the goods seizei from local dealers, parchssed from him, will be returned. This is the largest fine ever inflicted in the Mari- time Provinces for violating the reveaue lews,

and the proportion to be divided amony the seizing ofivers will be a bonanza teaé¢he men intarested, This local penalty, added to the

In Victoria, B. C., the defect was 1°.94. Winnipeggers must have had some difficulty in keeping themselves warm, as the temperature was upwards of 7° below the average, the maan of the month being nearly 14° below zero, or upwards of thirty-five degrees colder than Charlottetown for the same period. Toronto was 3°.26 colder, and Montreal very slightly warmer than usual, Comingeast, the weather grew warm- er stil), Fredericton being 4}, Halifax 54, and Sydney avout 64 degrees above the averages Charlottetown was nearly 6 degrees warmer than usual, with a large rainfall.

What Boycotting Means.

The following is extracted from a letter addressed by ‘‘ A Landlord’s Wife” to the London Morning Post :—

To the poor, boycotting almost means life or death. I will give case in point. A farmer is a loyalist, doing fairly well, able to pay a reasonable rent, on good terms with landlord and neighbors, a worthy, honest man, valuable in his gener- ation ; but envious eyes mark the prosper- ity earned by hard labor and thrift, good qualities, which are in themselves a re-

| proach to men who wish to enrich themselves lat the expense of others in preference 'to working. Boycott the man certainly, | but watch for a fitting opportunity so that ihe may he thoroughly crushed. Just as 'the harvest ripens, the black flag flies on ' his land to mark the farm as under the ban; | henceforth no men dare help the poor ‘farmer; but, not beaten yet, he borrows a reaping maghiae to try aud save the crops on which depend food, fire and clothes for the winter for his many young children.

See Oar Prices

The machine is at once destroyed, possibly every horse and cow brutally maim- ed and rnined. To add to his troubles, the wife is daily expecting her confinement, and one would think at such a time she might. be sacred to men who, if they have no wives, have all had mothers ; bit shame on the cowards, sho

mercy from them. Of course, the dyctor cannot actually be prevented from attend- ing her, but it is unmistakably intimated to him that, if he goes to her, all members of the league will vote agaiust his reeeivine the pension now just due to him for many years’s hard work, and which probably is all he has to look forward to in his old age} and the doctor has a family too, and being but human is possibly tempted to evade going to the poor woman when the hour of trial comes. Her husband mns} leave her to go twelve or fourteen miles away before he can buy a loaf of bread or a | handful of meal or any other necessity of life; no one at hand dare sel] him anything or let him ride with them, for he is a socia! leper, and as he must pay ready money at the town he can afford but a few days’ pro- visions, and goes wearily home trembling lest his wife be dying for want of help in her need.
