HELIGULAND

Oor teleg-aphic news state that Prussia has mace a demand on Great Britain for the ces- sion of Helizoland, It is stuted that the e rrespondence between the two G »vernmente, bas been more frank than cordial on the sub-! ject. We believe it very probable that the telegraph bas exaggerated the matter, in the| asuxi way, making i appear more serious than | it reeliy is, It will probably turn out that, the German authorities have confined them-| wives to w courteous offer to purchase Helt- | yoland, and that the offer has bee: ¢ urtevus- | jy bat firmly dec'ined by Great Britain.

Correspondence.

\ + meena enna cov adhe ov Tus Parrioy, Sir,

In your issue of the Ist ina’., over the *ig- nature of William Hovper, I hud the folluw- ing in referenee to my offering bim a bribe to prooure bie vote on the Railroad Bill :—

* At another time Mr H ow'sn came to me, and suid the Government would place £1,000 per year, for the next three years, in my hande, for the District, and that I would be allowed to expend it as T pleased, «nd he would give me @ written pledge to that effeot next day.”

Mr Hooper has certainly a very prolific brain, to aay the least of him, A few days

jayo, he is reported to have stated that Mr.

W.H. Pope had made him an offer of £20. This was publicly denied. Next be tries to fasten the matt:r on Mr. P. W. Hyndman,and

this, too, proved to he a mere fabrication. |

Bat, determined to brazen it out, settles down very comfortably on Mr. Howilan,

Now, I huve to tell him, in the most dis- tinet and deliberate manner, that Mr. Howlan never offered him One thousand pounds at any tume, or in any place, wnd that the above ex-

| tract ie a sheer tubrication, which could only

emanate from either a wicked heart or a dis- ordered brain.

In connection with the ahove, he mentioned n the 'Tustiays at Cuarloitetown, that Mr. A. W. Owen, of Charlottetown, and the Hoo. R. B. Reil, of Alberton, were present. The former stamped the matter there and then, as an untruth, and the latter, with whom J have conversed but a few minutes ago, distinctly denies anything of tha kind.

I had many conversations with Mr. Hooper ou the matter ot the Railway, as he always pretended to be doub:ful how he woul! vote, and usually said that he woul! be influenced by the letters which he would ieceive fiom his own Diatiict, which, to use guage, “he had been a hedscating hov tor some years past.”

At one time he distinctly stated that he would vote for the Bill, providing it went via St. Peter's. I was not long in discover ing that he was acting under the influence of others, who brought some pressure to bear

thing in writing from some members of the Government, to be used against them at some future time, and not having that, | presume, be thought his present statement wouid be sufficient.

Mr. Hooper, no douht, was led to believe that the Government would be breken up, aod his quondam fiends and advisers would give him a place in the next; and no ene seemed to be so much chagrined when the vote wis taken than the same Mr. Hooper. His greatness had vanished, and he fell, in Ais own estimation, to the level of uther men.

lL bave one word more to say to Mr. Hooper, end that is this,—that the least be says about buying and selling the better; it does not come with s good grace from him, A man s virtue is not of the purest kind who will make or secure so many overtures without eXposing them at the ume,

Trusting you will see fit to give this a place iu your paper,

I am yours, very respectfully, G ores W How an.

I do not hear that sweet tone

So wont to greet my listening ear;

I fee! as if 1 were ull alone,

When evening shades are guthering near. My burried step as homeward bound, Avxions to learn if thou were ill, Was e’re to thee a welcome sound, While yet upou the doorway sill.

My fervent thought thine ear had canght,

While quicker pulses throvbed to tell

What raptures to thy Soul were brought,

In knowing that I loved thee well.

I watched for thee—the first to tell What thy qnick eye to memory's atores Had gathered—wiile it pleased thee well, And told, by thee, of rocky shores. That cantious step, thateye eo mild, hat merry laugh, that fond embrace;

I do not feel thy hand, my child;

Ita thrilling preseure on my face,

Thy trunk and wateh—thy keen delight— Though trifles light, aside from thee,

Are al! 80 many tokens bright

Of jove that now have ceased to be,

Thy thoughts and words and ways I ween,

The barp of thoasand strings hes hnahed

In slumbere, neath, the fouming sea,

While weeping hearts, in sorrow ernshed,

Now mourn ite wafted melody.

The hand that oft essaayed to make

Sweet music, mid his earthly ties,

Whitcier s last poem * lhe Sisters — a marvel of conden sed description--yiving in small compass a siorm, adivean, a catastrophe and the effect of these on the fiery jealousy of the cne sister and the patient, unselfisn love of the other—was given with admirable skill.

The story of Enoch Arden’s return his nob.e resolve to await death un- recognized rather than disturb the peace of Annie ia her new home, was told in such harmony with the natural beauty of the langnage that it was impossible to resist its truthtulness and power. It was an illus tration of the proverb of the old Latius *-ars est celareartem, ' True art consists in concealing art; - it was so we] naturally done that it seemed as if any one could do | it.

Then the death of Minnehaha! who that heard it on Tuesday sight will forget the ghastly visits of fever and famine to the wigwam? the wail of old Nokomis. the terrible griet of the bereaved Iliawatha, his battle with the e.ements in the deadly win iter and above all his distracted cry * Min nehaha! ’ as it rings through the forest and comes back subdued, plaintive ip ‘echo, * Minnehaha'’ The effect of the echo-cry given by the reader was novel jand thrilling. and gzve an air of realness to

that yeur Imperial Majesty could ‘and comfortably, and once Janded, pursue quietly your bloodless march to the Palace of Westminster!”

TIE NEW PROFESSOR IN THE PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGE.

One of our correspondents furnishes us w th the f.llowing statements :—

“In the last Royal Gazette I notice the ap- pointment of another Pro essor to the Prince of Wales College. The present ay- erage attendance in the College depart- ment is not twenty students and a Jarge majority of them could be tanght for some ume to come by a Grammar teacher, whose salary would be only £100. Why should £3 0 be expended annually for another pro- fessor when a Grammar teacher cou d per form the required duties satisfactori y, and with a saving to the Country of £200 per year? The appointment is made at the com- mencement of the hotidays two months be fore the Co lege wil be opened cansing an expenditure ot 250 for nothing! Will those gentlemen in our midst who are wel qua‘i tied to fil the situation be satisfied to be passed by in this manner? Who are to be blamed for this extravagance ? Is it the Government, or the person. who, weary of teach ng less than twenty pupis, desires a helper? We believe it is the latter, who very well knows that it will entail an un- necessary out ay of £200 per year A large number of the people of this Island loox upon the maintenance of Prince of Wales Co lege, at anexpense to the Country of nearly 21:00 per year as a great injustice to them. And so it is. Deprive the Col- Jege of its six scholayshi;s, and you jeave

GOVERNOR ROBINSON'S VISIT WEST- WARD,

Below we give some of the Addresses pre- sented to His Honor Governor Robinson, and the replies which he gave, The people of Summerside gave him a welcome reception, but we see that the Progress critic'ses the address, which, no doubt, gives expression to the feelings of @ great majority of the people of that thriving town. The Railway Act is now the law of the land, and the reference to it is perfectly right, and does not violate any rules of propriety or good taste,

Summersive, June 30, 1871. GENTLEMEN 5

I am very gratified at receiving your kind ad-. dress of weicowe to tbis portion of the Island,

I do not need to be assured of the k yalty and good teeling of the inbabitants of Prince Edward Island, wid | am eatisfied that should | extend my tour to otber parts of the country, as I hope tu do, | will be reeeived, both in my public and private capacities, with the kindness and con. sideration which characterize the people of this Cowny.

l cordially endorse your wish that during my official conpection with this: Province ] way wi- vess a rapid development of the resources of the country through the operation of the improved means of CommuUbication bow about to be inaugue rated, 1 have elsewhere expressed wy opinion, that without better means ef tranepert and loco. motion than at preseut exist, you could not hope tully to develop the reeeurces of this fertiie aud high y favored Island; and | allow myselt te hope (hat ioe lntroduction of @ system of Railways wil give an impetus tu trade, and do more te en bavee ibe value of property than probably any
