Notes and Clippings
The Montreal Witness has to adimit! that ** there is no has the same ability as Sir John Macdon- | ald for turning to good account for himself | and party any movement of public opinivn, | or any breaking up of party ties.’ And, | further, that while a number of Liberals) and Conservatives may be defeated at the next election, ** it is probable that a Con-
servative government will remain as long | as Sir John Macdonald retains his mental |
agility and tactical capabilities. ” The} Witness is right, on this point.
It is proposed by the British Govern-| ment, on the suggestion of Mr. Justice) Stephen, to pass a measure making it bind- ing upon the court to admit a prisoners) statement. At present such a thing is 4, rare innovation. Ifthe change is made, | the prisoner will virtually be allowed to be} heard as a witness in his own defence, and | it may be assumed that the statement will| have to be made at a stage of the proceed- | ings which wil admit of cross-examination | and re-examination, and ef the calling of uther evidence in proof or disproof of the statement,

The Toronto Mail has taken down its commercial annevation sign. And the Toronto Globe is busy boxing the compass on the Jesuits’ Estates Act, and proving that Sir John MeDonald is a bad man because two Grit Premiers prepared the Actin question. The New York Sun alone tries to squirt a little of Dr. Brown-Sequard’s C elixir vital into the corpse of the fad, and to persuade its readers that Canada may yet be captured.” ‘

Mrs. Gladstone.
(London Letter to the New York Sun.)
Her figure is tall, shapely and impressive; her carriage isa little too rapid to be en- tirely gracefui ; her costuming is—is Eng- lish, which requires no elucidation. De- apite deficiencies in externals, which a French modiste would have no difficulty in abolishing—for Mrs. Gladstone would be a char.ning subject for a dress-maker of taste
she would be singled out in any company as its most distinguished woman. The face is uncommonly long, even in England, very high in the furehead and very strong and gentle, equally devoid of romance and of pedantry. The eyes are large, liquid, well shaped, dark blue and meditative. The silvering hair is parted in the usual way, and combed in natural waves down either cheek, as in the familiar portraits of noted women of forty years ago. Her mouth is well proportioned to the other dimensions of her face, and her voice is low and vibrant with cordiality towards those she addresses. In the Parnell Commission

———==
The Maritime Bap‘ist convention opened at Fredericton on Saturday. There were about three hundred delegates present. The convention was established in 1846, and held its first meeting in St. John. Since that time its yearly meetings have alternated between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with the exception of 1887 when the meeting was in Charlottetown. The membership has increased since its organization from about 12,000 to 43,866. The number of ordained ministers in the convention reported last year was 235. The | chief matters to come before this body are | education and missions, home and foreign. These interests are cared for by three | separate boards appointed by the conven- tion and reporting at the annual meeting. !
The Maritime Baptist publication com-' mittee showed a very satisfactury state of | affairs.

His Lordship Bishop Courtenay left for Halifax this morning
Benjamin Rogers, Esq., who has been ill for some days past is, we are glad to note, out again.
Mr. H. Henderson, of Sackville, who has been in the city for several days past, left for home this morning.
Mr. John L. Trainer, of the Merchants Bank of Halifax, Woodstock, N. B., who has been spending his holidays in Charlottetown, returned home this morning.
Mr. Barratt, the veteran temperance man, and Secretary for the Y. M. C. A., has return ed from his trip to Nova Scotia, where he en- joyed a pleasant holiday.
His Lordship the Bishop of Nova Scotia preached two very able and impressive ser- mons vesterday—the first at St. Peter's Church, in this city, and the last at St. Paul's.
Mr. Jake Kilrain, the celebrated artist, of Baltimore, in response to repeated requests, has consented to return to Mississippi as the guest of the State. Governor Lowry sent a special escort to accompany Mr. Kilrain.
King Humbert on the 20th inst., placed a brenze wreath on the grave of Garibaldi, as a token, he said, of the everlasting gratitude his country and house owed to the great patriot. ;
Soldiers have gone into action many a time
with no finer courage or steadier devotion to duty than Justice Field showed when he went to California with a full knowledge of the fact that the Terrys had sworn to have his life. ‘*I1 do not by any means underesti- mate threats of that kind,” the Justice said to a friend before leaving Washington, ‘ but I am prepat ed to go there and sit as usual upon the bench. It would be preposterous in this country, with its institutions, if a Judge were to be deterred from sitting on the bench by the threats of such ruffians as may desire to intimidate courts.” Dinah, King of the Malones of Senegal, has become a great lion in Paris. Says an ob- server: ‘* Dinah is coal black, tall, powerfully built, and, from a plastic poiat of view, superb. He dressesina grotesque manner, wearing, less the cross on the back, the altar vestments, thickly embroidered in yold, of a Catholic Archbishop, a smoking cap that al- most matches, and white pantaloons with gold stripes on the outer seams.”” The artists of Paris admire Dinah greatly, but no one has yet dared to ask him to stand as a model. They all sing ‘‘ Dinah won’t you come? ”— under their breath, however.

Death on the Rail.
day evening that Thomas Gallant, one of the section men on the Island railway, was killed on the track about one mile east of Elmsdale, shortly before six o'clock that afternoon. It appears that Gallant was re- turning from work on a hand car, and the train for the west, in charge of conductor Ryan, came suddenly upon him as he was rounding a curve. He stopped his car and tried to lift it from the track, but before he succeeded in so doing, the inevitable collision occurred, as a result of whicn the unfortunate man had his neck broken, dy- ing instantly. No biame is attached to the train hands in the matter, The bend in the road prevented them seeing the ap- proaching section man, and the same cause
with the latter’s seeing or hearing the train approach,
The remains were taken to Alberton, where an inquest was held by Coroner Barclay the same evening. The following verdict was returned :—
“That the deceased, Thomas Gallant, came to his death by being struck by the Engine of No, 3 Train while running with his hand-car on her time; that in so doing
that the train-men are in no way to blame for his death.”
Gallant belonged to Piusville. He was fifty-one years of age, avd had been in the railway employ for several years. He leaves a wife and family. The body was interred this morning. The railway authorities raade all the necessary funeral arrange- ments.

THE Charlottetown Engineers are being inspected by Major Davidson, R. E., to- day. The members of the corps paraded in full strength, this morning, at ten, on the Exhibition grounds, a:joining the Drill Shed, and passed a highly satisfactory im- spection in infantry drill. After this in- spection, their arms and accoutreinents were placed in the armory, and the com- pany was marched to a plot of ground near the residence of Colonel Irving, the site selected for their en-

It is no wonder that Mr, Lepage should question my truthfulness, seeing the truth is so foreign to himself, an‘ which no doubt he considers an utter impos- sibility in conection with his own line of goods. If Mr. Lepage would adopt the golden rule, live and Jet live, and would use the talent which he appears to possess for the good of the country in which he lives, and would show at least common courtesy to strangers as well as his neignbor, there is no doubt but his life , would be mnch more enjoyable to himself, and those around him might be slightly benefited.
