CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 93, 1882.
M* C. ), RANKIN, Chemist, North Side Queen Square, has the honor to announce 4¥i to the inhabitants of Prince Edward Island and neighborbood that he has made
MR. BR. LAURANCE,
The Eminent English Oculists’ Optician,
to personally superintend the adaptation of his
SPECTACLES AND EYEGLASSES
At €. D, Rankin’s Drug Store, North Side Queen Square, from Monday, the Sth, to Saturday, the 30th December,
And will be at the Clifton House, Summerside, from Monday, the Ist, to
Thursday, the 4th January,
To ail those requiring aid to vision. The hold that Laurance’s Lenses
have taken upon the spectacle-wearing public of Great Britain and the testimonials
from the greatest of the English Oculists, among the faculty in England and in this Prov-
ince, must be conclusive that nothing better in aids to vision can be obtained, and when in
addition such Lenses are selected and adapted to the eye by Mr, Laurance personally, Mr.
Rankin is convinced the acme of comfort will be obtained by every persoz requiring the
use of Spectacles or Eye-glasses.
Mr Laurance’s mode of procedure is to test the capabilities oi both eyes, and not only
to determine the exact power required for each eye, but also to select the particular Lenses
best adapted to arrest decay and to give sight without discomfort. Mr. Laurance is noi a
stranger to Prince Edward Island in his capacity as an Optician. For years he visited this
Province, 4s testimonials from (ur leading medical men and citizens, as far back as 1554,
can testify. Mr, Laurance is one of the leading Opticians of England, and his visit here is
for one purpose, and that is the introduction of his celebrated Lenses through REGULARLY
ACCREDITED AGENTS THROUGHOUT THE DUMINION.
Persons who have tried in vain to be suited with Lenses are particularly requested to
call at C. D. Rankin’s, and as MR. LAURANCES VISIT (ANNOT BE PROLONGED.
BEYOND A FEW DAYS, it behoves those requiring his assi.tance toca}! as early as possible

CURRENT NEWS NOTES.
M. Gambetta is confined to his bed owing to intestinal trouble, which necessi- tated a comsultation of several doctors. Rugsia has made representations to China concerning alleged outrages upon Russian sibjects by Chinese solciers on the frontier.
The recent attack upon Chinese troops marching to oppose the French in Tonquin was in conkection with a general rising in Yan Nan.
Crumden, the alleged crank who was arrested fof writing letters threatening the Prince of Wales and Mr. Gladstone, has been committed for trial.
At the Winnipeg Land Office there were 593 homestead entries in 1882, against 202 of the -year before, and 283 pre-emption entries as against 80 in 1881.
There is a scarcity of white labour on the railway works in British Colnmbia. The Chinese are found to be ineffective for heavy excavation and blasting.
In a speech at Waterford a few days ago Mr. Biggar, M.P., denounced ia fiercest invective the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as a blood-thirsty English peer, He was loudly cheered.
The London Evening Mail believes that Earl Spencer will resign the viceroyalty when the state of Ireland becomes satisfac- tory, and that he will probably be succeed- ed by Lord Rosebery.
Terrible gales on the Newfoundland coast have resulted in heavy loss to shipping. At Bett’s Cove eight brave shoremen, whio put off to rescue sailors in a perilous position, were drowned by the swamping of their boat.
Another ancestral seat in England has fallen to prey to the flames, being the third that has met with this fate within the last few weeks. In this case it is Gunton Hall, the Earl of Suffield’s seat at Norwich, that has been destroyed.
The disturbance caused by the students in Russian univefsities continue. Various meetings of the students have been dis- persed by the military and police, and in the affrays consequent thereon many have b2en killed and injured.
A serious difficulty has arisen between Col. Ross, of the Governor-General’s Foot Guards, and Major General Luard. The former claims that the General has insulted him and the affair will be made the gubject of an official investigation.
The London News says it is fully believed that the murder of two Americans in Mada- gascar was due to the measure taken by the French representatives in Madagascar to prevent the Malagasy Government exercis- ing its authority on the west coast of Mada- gascar. The atttention of the American Government will be called to the matter,
In St. Mary’s cathedral, Montreal, a few evenings ago, the Bishop unveiled a statue of St. Peter, a fac similie of the one in St. Peter’s church at Rome, although of minia- ture size. The figure is of bronze, seated in a marbie pedestal. The right hand of the figure is raised as in an attitude of blessing, while in the left hand are placed the keys.
Mr. Van Horne, the General Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in a telegram to some gentleman at Prince Arthur's Landing, states that itis the intention of the Railway Company to erect and work elavators at that point. This is a wise decision. The elevators, at the water terminis of railways, should always be the property of the railway companies.
The capital and funded debt of the rail- road campanies of the United States is $6,314,699,787. The actual ccst of building | and equipping the railroads now in oper- ation is $5,577,996,931. The annual earn. ings amount to about $725,000 000, and the interest on bonds to $128.587,302. Last year the railways paid out $442,565,071 for working expenses, and paid $93,344,200 in dividends.
The North German ‘razette, replying to an article in the St. Petersburg Golos re- garding Germany’s attitude in the Berlin Congress, says :—‘‘Germany did everything Russia requested, and would probably have supported the further demands of Russia had the latter made them known oflicially. It was impossible for Germany to support more than Russia asked. The Russian attacks on the policy of Germany at that period were therefore unjust.”
A London, (G. B.) correspondent says “the news of the squabble, separation, or whatever it is between Mesdames Langtry and Labouchere has aJready leaked out here, and forms the subject brisk, not to say ex- cited, comment, Thanks to the World, the favts are exactly understood here, and Mrs. Labouchere’s conduct is regarded with ap- proval, even the Langtry coterio admitting that she acted the part of a true friend to- wards the Jersey Lily. The verdict of the women is, ‘‘] always told you so.” At present the affair is only privately discussed but it cannot be kept out of the papers next week, when of course the episcde of Sir George Chetwynd and his wife, the Marchioness of Hastings, will come to the fore, and between Mrs. Langtry and Messrs. Belt and Chamberlain we are now remarkably wel! off for Christmas gossip.
The accounts from the West of Ireland are most deplorable. Clare, Galway, Mayo, send to-day terrible accounts of the famine scourge. Sligo is not unaffected by the presentiment of distress, and there seems to be nothing to inspire confidence or hope of relief. The worst accounts come from the seaboard of Donegal. There the people are hopelessly and helplessly desti- tute. Some accounts say they have nothing but Indian cornmeal to subsist on ; but the weight of representation is that, even if this food, never acceptable to the Irish | people, could be calculated on, there would
¢ be comparative satisfaction, but even the
‘Indian meal is not forthcoming, and sea- weed or boilei ‘‘dhijlesk” is the only food

No one can estimate the ‘developments in Donegal for the next
