NOTES AND COMMENTS. --Napoleon the Great, well said that “every delay gives Opportunity for dis- aster.”
—We are compelled to hold over some veditorial remarks upon the tariff, etc., intil to-morrow.
—Montr al Star: It cannot be denied that this Government has “struck oil,” but, by Lister and by Lambton, it has not struck it very hard.
— Reperts from the Northwest state that seeding is well advanced. The spring there is eousidered to be a week or ten days ahead of last year. The acreage this year will be largely increased.
—A gentleman residing a few miles sorth of Charlottetown declared today that he has.not seen the Malpeque road as bad as it is new, in the past thirty-five years. Everywhere throughout the country the ery 18 bad roads. Still, Mr. Peters placidly brags abont those road machines !
—The people of the United States have done well to honor the memory of General Grant by giving him a magnificent tomb. In this connection we beg to acknowledge the receipt from a friend in New York of a piece of the enormous plates of bronze of which the doors of General Grants’ tomb are made.
—The Government party in the Legis- Jature seemto be very much alarmed. They wouldn’t, yesterday, permit Mr. Shaw to quote orcriticiee the Premier’s speech on the budget! Twasn’t parlia- mentary, you know. The English of it is that given an opportunity to apply the gag, they'll apply it.
—Mr. Shaw bréfight his resolution up yesterday in a manner to which technical objection could not be taken, and it was liseussed in spite of the Government and greatly to the chagrin of some honorable members. A summary report of his for- eible and eloquent speech will be found in another part of Tse Examiner of to-day.
—The Canada Gazette to band this morning contains a repetition of last year’s notice respecting Prof. Andree’s balloon expedition from Spitzbergen in search of the North Pole. Canadians living in high latitudes are requested to keep a iookout for the balloon and report to the nearest local uewspaper, giving bour and date when the balloon was sighted and the lirection in which it.was going. The bal- loon, it is stated, is expected to start about lst Joly.
—The consuls for Germanv and otber
favored nations do not take any stock in Premier Laurier’s statement in reply to Hon. Geo. E. Foster to the effect that the Canadian Government do not intend to apply the preferential clanses to other countries besides Great Britain. The German consul intimates tbat the collector yf customs cannot do otherwise than give the same privileges to the favored nations as toGreat Briiain. It is quite evident that the tariff reformers will soon find that they have made a mess of this vaunted preferential clause.
—The Toronto Globe is to be congratu- lated upon its tariff efforts. It called for free coal with a view to the removal of the ‘handcuffs of industrial restriction,” and the coal daty remains. It told the farmers they would get reduced rates on agricul- tural implements, and the implement duty is kept at its old figure. Still the Globe thinks our tariff is a statesmanlike effort, and applauds it with both hands, just as it would if it had been something different altogether. We join the Mail and Empire in congratulating the Globe. It bas a swallow a good deal wider than that of the Crow’s Nest Pass.
—*“A Reader” directs our attention to ‘the fact that Tue Examiner’s reports of the Provincial Legislature are being copied into the Herald without credit, and that ~‘the editor of the Herald even refers to them as hisown.” The matter had es- saped our notice, and we rather regret that readers cannot help seeing it. What is there to make a fuss about? Our con- temporaries know that the work of THe Examiner’s painstaking reporter is cor- rect: and so they copy it. Let them
-epread Tue Examiver’s gocd news. It will do their readers good. If the public would but overlook the appropriation, we should be quite ready to do so,—pro bono publico. Still it does seem a pity that that which just now makes some of them worth reading should be found out as the work of THe Examiner’s reporter, to -whom they give no credit.
Curtains for the parlor, curtains for the bedroom. The turnover in this section awells by leaps and bounds. Every jair in the fixture, of which there are many hundreds, is the production of this season. There are therefore fresh and up~to-date to design, and having the pure uofilled jnish, can be recommended for wear. From 49c to $1,00 gets a good curtain.— Sas. Paton & Co.

A Modest Once Seeker.
In the district which Congressman Ellis of Oregon represents are two pres- idential postoffices—Astoria and Port- land—only two, remember, for that is the point of this story.
The other day, while Mr. Ellis was seated at his desk in the house, a card was handed to him. He went into the lobby and found a young man. Forth- with the said young man proceeded to address Mr. Ellis in this wise:
‘*Mr. Ellis, I have come to the con- clusion that I want to go west. I think that the climate will agree with me and that there is a chance out there for me to make a living. I have saved a little money, but I do not want to take any risk of not finding employment. I have come to you, therefore, with a suggestion. Mr. McKinley knows my father very well, and [I think that he also remembers me. Now, if I could go out to Oregon as postmaster of Astoria I would settle there, and I am sure Mr. McKinley would appoint me if you will only recommend me.”’
The young man got no further in his speech. Mr. Ellis, who is very tall, looked down upon his visitor with a paralyzed stare, and then, turning on his heel, walked back into the house without saying a word,— Washington Post.
“” Double Theater,
The chormons umber of people in our large cities who desire to be amused and who seem to think that the more they get for their money the better they are pleased has led theater managers to pattern, to a certain extent, after circus companies that put on two or three forms of amusement in as many dis- tinct rings. The newest idea is a dou- ble stage and two auditoriums. The building above the stage is made much higher than such structures ordinarily are in order to accommodate the scenery and stage property, which go up instead of being moved ont at the sides. With this new idea the addition of a small number of actors may add greatly to the interest of the occasion. There may be a play going on which those who sit near enough can hear distinctly, while those at a distance can be entertained by gymnastic, acrobatic and similar performances. It is a bold innovation, and many people are wondering just what will be the result.—New York Ledger.
Chamberlain’s Boast.
Mr. Charaberlain’s boast that he did not take exercise has been frequently alluded to since he began to suffer from gout. The remarks referred to were ad- dressed to a gathering of Birmingham athletes. ‘‘I do not cycle,’’ he said, ‘‘L do not. ride, and I don’t walk when i can help it. I don’t play cricket, and I don’t play football, and I don’t play tennis, and I don’t play golf, which is, I have been assured, an indispensa- ble condition of statesmanship. The
fact is, I don’t take exercise at all.’’ Mr. Chamberlain is not known to have changed his habits since making this confession. He is almost the only cab- net minister sitting in the house of tommons who has not, since the gov- ernment was formed, met with an acci- dert through bicycling or hunting.
The Antediluvian.
Mrs. Mary Ann Reed, who died at the Hartford Retreat For the Insane the other day at the age of 92, had been in the institution for 52 years. She was the ‘‘little lady’’ referred to by Charles Dickens in his ‘‘ American Notes.’’ The passage relating to her is as follows: ‘**T am an antediluvian, sir.’ I thought the best thing to say was that I had sns- pected as much from the first. There- fore I said so. ‘Itis an extremely proud and pleasaut thing, sir, to be an antedi- luvian,’ said the old lady. ‘I should think it was, ma’am,’ I rejoined. The old lady kissed her hand, gave another skip, smirked and sidled down the gal- lery in a most extraordinary manner. Her delusion was a pleasant one, and abe was always amiable and docile.’’
