That Famous Epigram.

Sir,—-In an editorial article in last Wednesday's Herald on ‘The split of the Liberal party in England,” the writer is in error in attributing to Macaulay that famous epigram, ‘‘tuat the Conservatives caught the Whigs bathing and ran away with their clothes,” Disraeli,not McAulay, was the author of this expression, and it was first used by him in one of his memor- able attacks on Peel for having abandoned the Protectionists and joined the Free Traders.

Yours, etc., OBSERVER. -_---+-»> —_-_ —- Musical Imbecilityv

Srr,—I am surprised at your correspon- dent ‘‘Charlottetown,” for accusing me of being the author of a letter signed ‘‘Little York.” I was not at the concert at all, but from what I have heard since the publica- tion of ‘Little York’s’” letter, his opinion was correct, as to the choruses being only fairly rendered, and he might have added that the Gloria, from Mozart’s 12th Mass, was again sung in English. His audacity, assurance, impudence and ignorance, in presuming to compare the style of music I

will probably take 4000 bushels. Winter is right on, and “‘stir-a-bout” goes well. Like ‘‘Minard's. Liniment,” oats are good for either man or beast.

Mr. Bannerman Cox, Baggage Master on the Eastern Train, met with a severe eecident here in Souris on last Tuesday night. While coupling cars his right hand become caught in some way, with the serious resnit of the loss of one finger and considerable injury to the others. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Cox, who is a genera! fovorite. We are glad to say that he is doing as weil as possible under the skilful hands of Dr. Muttart.

The good Sisters of our Convent are going to have their Christmas tree on the evening of the 19th and 20th instant— Welnescay and Thursday of next week, No doubt they will be liberally patronized, as they well deserve. By the way, it is a pity that the educational department in the Convent dves not receive al] the amount of public pa'ronage it is so well fitted to accommodate. The charges for tuition, or board and tuiticn combined, are very mod: rate; there is room for many more permanent pupils; and in such insitutions the moral training of the is well fitted in with the secular storing of the brain. Soul end intellect are carefully watched, and properly instructed.

We have hed no mass meetings upon the

question. Thesun and moon refused point

blank to stand still foca minute. Nobody

asked them. Toe earth moves round on ils

axle-tree all the same, and keeps moving.

The tides rise and fall just in the old style, in fact everything goes on just as ysual,

excapt the time. You see it is a kind of a

mixed up arrangement, and Souris has

vited it quite unpopular, A fellow pulls

out his watch, produces pen and paper, his

eye becomes brighter, his heart beats

quicker, a smile of utter sweetness pervades

his countenance, he sits down, and the

honeyed words of cupid come quick as

streaks of chain lightning. His watch

says 8.30. He reads, and the glow

of love beams sweetly o’er_every lineament of his face, spreading itself sublimely like a

frog on a pond. He meditates a while,

folds the missive with tender touch, en-

closes it in such a little duck of an envelope

got up in the latest style and most fashion-

able color, raises it softly to his lips, wets

the gum on the flap, and gealg it with a

kiss—a long, earfest, paroxysmal kiss. It

is just 8.40. On goes coat and hat, and he

wencs his way, as merrily as the tripping

of the light, fantastic toe; and that letter,

big with the fate of ‘‘all the world” to him,

drops from lis hand into Government

reyions—it is his no more. It is just, by

the watch, forty-seven minutes an! twenty

seconds past eight. The darling herself has jnst been at the railway atation,

and the new standard lie- pardon | I mean time—says gight o'slock. Ah it is mai] time. Brimfal of home and loves sweet longing, she too proceeds to the P,O., and at ten minutes past eight gets the letter that was mailed at forty-seven minntes past, starts to read it twenty minutes before ‘the’ commenced to write it. She reads on, and when finished realizes the fact, that a letter writ’en in lees) thin no time don’t amouni to much. She wonders how it got there. He says “My Honey it is just half-past eight, and | must &c.; but she knows its no such time, then gives it up, and like Lord Dundreary, becomes totally freezerized as she wonders whether that ‘‘lettaw came from her lovaw cr some other body’s lovaw.” Standard time is a humbug, for the simple reason that it is not correct time, and we aint going to take any more shares in that stock than we can possibly help out this way.

Srr,—Referring to a recent paragraph in your paper, anent Crapaud, I beg to observe that I never knew, nor heard of, such 2 person as ‘‘Lady Fage,”” I had the hovor af being well acquainted with the Honorable Cicely Jane Georgiana Fane, daughter of | the late Earl of Westmoreland, proprietor of one moiety of Lot or Township Number 29, in this Island.
