—The Commissioners for the Domi- nion and Centennial Exhibition have had a satisfactory meeting. The objections of the manutacturers of Nova Scotia and the Advisory Board of this Provtuce to the Prize List were favorably consider- | ed and referred to the Committees on | mavufactures and agriculture. We | ho} e that both w ill be met.

—Lord Reay has been appointed Special Commissioner to settle the ques- tious in dispute between the British Gov- erument and the Transvaal and Orange Free State. He is well fitted for the position. A learved deplomatist and a man of firmness and moderation he has peculiar family traditions and connec- tions which would disincline him to take a view unfair to either party. He is a British peer of an old Scotch family, and at the same time a Dutch noble, and the descendant of a Seotch-Dutch family intimately connected with the affairs of Holland for a couple of centuries.
—Some of the Euglish papers state that James Carey is about leaving or has left Ireland for Canada. We want neither Carey nor his chickeus in this country. The leading spirit iv ove of the very foulest murders on record, who betrayed those whom he led, Carey is one of the most detestable villians in existance. This is vot a penal Colony ; aud we hope the Home authorities will | interfere to protect Canadians from the infamy of Carey’s presence among them. If be must remain unhung, let him be sent out as a companion of the Bashi-bazouks, or let him fraternize with the Thugs iv India. But keep him far from the people of Canada.
—‘*Mashood suffrage” and “Womans hood suffrage” are both advancing. In Can- ada, the leading jouraals of public opin ion, without respect to party, are advo- cating a further extension of the fraa- chise to men; and in the British House of Commons the other day a bill to bestow the parliamentary frauchise upon all women qualified to exercise the muni- cipal frauchise was defeated by a vote of only 130 to 1:4. The bar of sex is not deemed ivsuperable by some British statesmen and legislators; and it must be evident to every candid mind that many women who cannot vote are more intelligent than some of the men who ean and do vote.
—The Local Government of New Bruuswick is just now in a position sim ilar to that at one time occupied by the Davies Administratiaa in this Province. It is a Government composed cf sup- porters of both parties in the Dominiou Parliament ; and its members have been ‘taking sides” in Dominion contests. We need not say that the Local Gov- ernment is in danger—it may be more or it may be less. While its members continue to drive in opposite directions over the Dominion highway great care should be taken in the driving, or at some critical juncture there will be a collision, and it will be wrecked and thrown into the ditch.
—Isthere to be no abatement of the dust nuisance? Must we year after year, during summer, drive aud walk through the streets amidst clouds of dust? Must the goods in our stores, the meats aud fish, and butter, exposed in our market, be for ever enveloped in the summer dust? Must our wives and daughters be always occupied in dusting? Must straugers go away with a sneer at the lazy, thritless, good-for-vothing public spirit, which will make no effort what- ever to relieve the town of this dust nuisance? Perhaps some elderly gentle- man who may be thinking of making his will, will take # hint. A prudent application of the interest resulting from a legacy of a few thousand dollars well invested, would @6 the business!

-Mr. Justice Maule sentenced a/| rural prisoner in England in the followe| ing words:—* Prisover at the bar, your | counsel thinks you innocent, the counsel | for the prosecution thiuks vou innocent, | I thiuk you inuocent, but a jury of your, couuiryme.s, ia the exercise ot such com- |

not seem to be much, have found you | guilty, and it remains that [ should pass ov you the sentence of the law. That is, that you be imprisoned one day, and as that day was yesterday, you may go about your busiuess.” The jury ino this case has some resemblance to juries we have seen impannelled on this side of the Atlantic—juries either too ignorant or too lazy to try a case—juries who ap- parently come to a decision by the easy process of “ta toss up’’ or “a split in the difference.” Certainly some of the ver- dicts rendered in our courts are ridicu- The result is that much
ments for new trials, and much additional expense is put upon suitors, while justice is in the meantime defrauded. Greater care should certainly be taken in the selection of jurymen. No loafer, glad to get the dollar a day, should be summoned to do justice between suitors in important cases; and when intricate questions and difficult calculations are involved in a case, the jury should in- variably be specially selected. Indeed every precaution that can be taken, should be taken to obtain a right decision in the premises. It is of the utmost im- portance that the justice of our Courts should be above suspicion.
Sad Stabbing Affray at West Point. The Summerside ‘‘Journal” furnishes the following particulars of the stabbing affray: Maggie Watson, a step-daughter of Angus Hickey, of West Point, was very seriously, and possibly fatally stabbed in the neck on the evening of Wednesday, the 4th inst., by John Andrew McLellan, a grandson of Angus Hickey. The cause of the out- rageous act it seems was jealosy, and the story, as we have received it, is to the effect that the unfortunate girl was attending a frolic at John MclIsaac’s about two miles from where she lived. When the time came to go home, she chose the company of John J. Hickey, a cousin of McLellan’s, preferably to that of the last named party, which, it seems, so very much enraged McLellan that he went around like a mad- man, threatening to take somebody’s life. The unfortunate girl and her companion followed him, and when near a fence, which was only a short distance from the house they had been visiting, and over which McLellan had crossed, Miss Watson advanced quite near, to reason with him — her escort in a very ungallant man- ner keeping in the rear—when the cruel creature struck her and inficted a very severe wound in the side of her neck, just below the ear, with a jack- knife which he had open in his hand at the time. The wounded girl, with blood streaming from the deep cut in her neck, was assisted by her two companions to Mr. McIsaac’s house, where she was placed un- d-r doctor MeLean’s skillful treatment, and is doing as well as could be expected. Great affection was shown for the girl by McLelian after he had committed the dreadtul deed, and it was her earnest re- quest that he be not prosecuted, but such was not to be the case, for the criminal was charged before Strang Hart, John Auld and Alfred McWilliams, Esq’s., three of Her Majesty’s Justices of the Peace, on the oath of Margaret Watson, ‘‘for that on or about the 4th of July, instant, he, John McLellan, alias John Andrew Hickey, did maliciously assault and stab with a knife the said Margaret Watson, in the throat.” Thefgentleman. with so many names was committed in the jail here on Wednesdvy last, to wait his trial at the next sitting of the Supreme Court here in October next.

Fire at Souris.
as
Tue store and warehouse of Mr. C C. Carlton, at Souris, were destroyed by fire this morning at half-past one o’clock. The cause of the fire is unknown; and _ the in- formation which we have received regard- ing the loss is meager. The fire was far aivaneced when discovered; and nothing was saved except Mr. Carlton’sledger. The store and warehouse stock, it is said, was very large, and was but lightly insured. We have not learned whether or not the buildings, which were totally destroyed, were insured. The buildings were owned by Mrs. Beaton of this city.

Massacre of Christians in China.
There has been a fearful massacre of Christians within the jurisdiction of Lung- kang Asien, afew days’ journey west of Tah Fn. A young French priest and some scores of native converts have fallen victims to the fury of the mob, and all houses belonging to Christians between Lung-kang and Ta-li have been destroyed by fire. It seems that for a long time great animosity has been manifested against the native churches. and threats have been made to slay all Christians and destroy all their property. Matters came to a crisis about the Ist of April, when a mob of 200 persons attacked and murdered the Rev. Father Terrasse and seven Christians who were with him. The rioters then pursued their course of destruction, the numbers increasing as they went along, butchering every convert they met, and firing all pro- perty owned by Christians all along the five or six days’ journey to Ta li Fu, where the trouble happily stopped. It is said that the Christians defended themselves so vigor- ously that their assailants were forced to desist from further outrage.—San Francisco Bulletin.

The rapidity of construction on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the | first week of July is without a parallel in this or any other country. On Saturday last the rails were laid upon six miles of road, and in the week no less than 25,86 miles, exclusive of sidings, were completed, an average of about 4) miles per day, the highest ever obtained. ‘T’he record is as

The Manitoba Minister of Finance an- ticipates a revenue for the current fiscal year of $566,729, of which $227,153 is de- rived from the Dominion subsidy, and $195,000 from the Court Houses. The ex- penditure is estimated at $506,399, of which $170,000 is for public buildings, 50,000 for drainage, $51,354 for education, $47,520 for the administration of justice,
and $55,850 for civil government. The expenditure of the province has been
growing apace and the increase made the subject of criticism in the House. The Premier in his Budget speech dwelt upon the necessity and justice of a larger subsidy from the Dominion Government, and the desirability of the school lands being placed under the control of the provincial authorities.

Protessor Agassiz and Spiritual- ism.
Prof. Agassiz took a very neat way once of disposing of the pretensions of a pro- fessional medium. He had denounced spiritualists as knaves. and received a call from Home, the big Padjadraum of mediums, who asked him to attend a spiritualist seance that was to be,held in Boston. Agassiz ordered him out of his house. Home observed that this was strange reception indeed, on the part of a philosopher. ‘‘Well,” said Agassiz, ‘‘what shall 1 see at your seance?” ‘*You will see, ’ replied Home, “legs and arms mov- ing about the room, and some of them will touch you,” “Mr. Home,” answered Agassiz, ‘‘I will attend your meeting, and | will aid you to clear up the mystery of these floating limbs. happens that it was recently sharpened.
That sword I will bring with me, and 1)
will eut at the legs and arms.” Home thanked him and withdrew. The next day Agassiz drove up to the hall where,the seance was tu beheld... The doors was shut, but on them there was a placard announcing in large letters that the seance would not take place as Mr. Home had unexpectedly been called to New .York.
