found in another column of this issue of | the Examiner. It is, our readers will | observe, quite as remarkable that which it does not contain as for that which it does contain. His Excellency’s responsible advisers are evidently of opin- ion that, respecting the proposed ‘ Treaty of Reciprocity with the United States,’ the less said the better. In his speech last year, the Governor General informed | Parliament that, at the instance of his Government, “the Imperial authorities have given directions to the British Min- | ister to discuss the whole subject with

the Administration at Washington ; 2nd _ have associated with him for this pur-

pose—a Canadian Commissioner.” It) was but reasonable to expect that this year he would have announced the result of the discussion ; or, at least, have allud- ed to the work of the “ Canadian Com- | mission,’ concerning whose appointment | such a rhetorical flourish was made. But, on this point, His Excelleacy says never a word. The MacKenzie Government is, we are fain to believe, just a little ashamed of the Reciprocity negotiations. They commenced in dishonor, and they | have ended in disgrace. The proposition

of the ‘ Canadian Commissioner ’ to enter

into negotiations with a view to the re-|

fo r

newal of the Reciprocity Treaty, was a | mistake; for it should have been made | by the Government of the United States, because, by the request of that Govern ment, the old Treaty was abrogated. The Draft Treaty prepared by the ‘ Can- | adian Commissioner ’ has been pronounc-- ed, by public opinion in Canada, in| the United States, and in Great Britain, | to be a bungle; and its endorsement is hopeless. Under the circumstances, it is scarcely surprising that His Excellency is reticent on the subject of Reciprocity. In the speech it will be observed that allusion is made to several measures | which will be introduced during the ses— sion. The most important is the estab- | lishment of a Supreme Court. Respect- | ing that measure we have already express- | ed an opinion. In this Dominion of ours, | the necessity of some independent author- | itative power to define the distinct rights and privileges of the Provincial and Gen- eral Governments, to pronounce upon the |

|

constitutionality of the laws, and to de-| cide definitely in cise of any dispute which may arise, has, every year since the consummation oi the Union, been made more and more apparent. onding the address of the Commons in | 1 General's speech |

In see- |

answer to the Governor last year, Mr. Laurier, (M.P. for Artha baska, Quebec,) contended for the es- tablishment of a Supreme Court; and Sir John A. Macdonald has promised to vive his ‘consideration and attention to | any measure designed to establish a Su- preme Court, and make it work satisfac- | torily.”” Mr, Blake has also promised to lend his assistance towards the attainment of the same end. A bill relating to the subject of Insolvency will, we are told, be considered; and measures will be sub- mitted providing for the reorganization | of the Government of the North West. | Both these are important. The first has already been before Parliament several sessions. There is little reason to doubt that it is, by this time, as perfect as possible. The second however, will need statesmanship to carry it through to |

sine anaceaie

the satisfaction of the people of the North- | west, and the Dominion at large. The) paragaphs respecting the Mounted Police, and the Canadian Pacific Railway, are | open to criticism. altogether the “ bill | of fare,’”’ provided by the Government, for Parliament, is rather meagre.

In a despatch to the /’atriot it is stated that Mr. Sinclair was o!fered the honor of seconding the «address in answer to the Governor General's Speech. If the state- ment is true, it wil! not raise Mr. Me-| Kenzie’s character as a tactecian. It is well for the eredit of the Province and of Mr. Sinclair, himself, that he did not arrive at Ottawa in time. The Ad- dress was moved by Mr. Frichette, (mem. ber for Levis, Quebee,) who, it is report made a brilliant speech in the French lan} guage ; and it was seconded by Mr, Mc- Dougall, M. P for Elgin, Ontario,

It appears iat the administration are determined to push forward the public business. Already we are told the reports of the Public Works, Finance and Cus— toms Departments, have been laid on the table.

MR. OWENS ELECTION.

On Thursday last, the Hon. L. C. Owen, and Mr. Scrimgeour, were nomin- ated candidates to represent Cardigan District in the House of Assembly. The nomination passed off quietly. There was little speechifying, and no excite. ment. The election will take place on Thursday next. In view of cold weather, want of whiskey, and bad roads, the cor- test will not likely be very warm or yery exciting. We trust the friends of Mr. Owen will be early at the polls. “ Vote early” is 2 good motto.

This was the of a lecture, de- livered before a large audience, by J. H.

m. G. A.

Wednesday evening last.

Fletcher, Esq.,in Y. Hall, on

After a few introductory remarks, the

| lecturer said that there is a strong resem. |

biance between the stage of the theatre and the stage of the world, The immo tal Shakespeare said — “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players lhey have their exits and their entrances , And one man, in his time, plays many parts,”’

In the theatre a few individuals perform the play while the audience before them | This is | Few men, comparas | tively, come to the surface of society; few | can be regarded as the artizans of civilizas | tion. A small number act and think for all, while the great mass sit agape in as-

| tonishment. But there are other points of

resemblance. In the theatre the repres sentations of intrigue, murder and lust are When the moral | part of the drama is performed it falls flat on the audience. But when the noisy | braggart or midnight assassin come upon the all is anxiety and eagerness. And so itis with the world and Hannibals, Alexanders and Napoleons, and with the bridle reins of their horses dripping in

stage Our Cresars with their swords unsheathed seas of human blood, are heralded as the heroes of humanity, while our Howards, Newtors and Bunyans, are mazed in the gloom of forgetfulness. * ' r Again, the noisy performer, the gorges ously dressed damsel, trailing her flounced | silks, and hanging in rubjes and strings of pearl and golden necklaces, is sure to cap- | tivate the crowd, while the quiet, unassums | ing, wonder working man, like the flower in the desert, ‘is born to blush unseen.’ The pleasures of the stage, too, are short- lived. No sooner does the curtain drop than the pleasurable sensations of the even- ing are gone~are soon forgotten, with our world,

So it is Its pleasures are trans | sitory and soon pass away. We glory in gazing at the intellectuai star as it flashes, | like a meteor, through the space above us ; |

' but after a time its light becomes obscur- |

ed, itsinks behind the purple cloud, and_

The lecturer then proceeded to sketch some of the characters who ‘play the several parts’ in the World’s Theatre. The first was the irresolute or chicken- hearted man—the man who has no fixed principles—who wanders without a guide, and is thrown about on the billows of time |

| by every conflicting wind of opinion, until

at last the sky lowers, the rain beats, the storm rages, and he sinks, the “sea roar- ing around him like a heil,’’ Chis

again. character was contrasted

| with the resolute or self-sacrificing man— |

instanced—by a young man,who, to support a sickly sister, and cheer the declining days of a loving mother, is heroically check. ing every desire, restraining himself from

_ every indulgence,denying himself every lux.

ury, even subjecting himself to the imputa-

| tion of meanness, diligently working from |

the rising of the sun until the going down of the same, and nobly depriving himself, for the sake of those who are unable to earn for themse!ves, No matter in what workshop such a hero earns his bread, in what lane | his lodging may be found, he is the highest type of heaven’s aristocracy. fle plays a_ grand part ; and, at the last, angels, with palms and crowns of immortality in their hands, appear and welcome him to his res ward. The idle man was well portrayed. See hia, said the lecturer, as he stands at the street corner keeping up the lamps | post; he wears no braces+they burden his shoulders ; his hair bears a very close resemblance to a hay-stack, after having furnished a breakfast toa whirlwind for a | whole morning ; he has always two pertins |

ent questions to put to every passersby ; |

the first is, ‘ can you give a fellow a smoke,’ | and the second, ‘have you ara chew of | tobacco about your trowser’s pockets that | you will lend a fellow till Saturday night.’ Is there a dog-fight, or shooting-match afiie, our man is round in good time, succeeds in getting the clerkship.

| The blacksmith’s forge is one of his favor-

ite resorts. He tries his strength lifting an anvil,and is ever willing to bet a pint of whiskey. He drassesa t tne cost of the tailor, and smokes at the expense of the grocer, and talks about the ‘ world owing | him a living.’ The world owes him nothing but a coffin,and she would. willingly pay

| the debt, if he wou!d only get into it, and |

pay an undertaker to draw him into the churchyard. In contrast with the idler, the lecturer presented the active, working man. Whether engaged in manual labor or literature, industry is this man’s watch word. Property accumulates around him, boeks teem from his pen, buildings spring up at his command, science receives new

at his order, philosophy unfolds her truth at ‘his glance, Christianity spreads her wings at the magic of his energy. In! the towns of industrious people, streets |

-are clean fences in repair, houses neat, |

rosy children enliven the homes and fill the school-houses, devout worshippers | throng the churches. Labor is the great | law of the universe. Power never obeys | the voice of the indolent. The splendor | of the mountain view is enhanced by the | labor of the mountain climb. What a

/noble record the working man leaves bes |

hind him when he retires from the stage.

{tis in the fruit of his later that we find | | the evidences of his power—the credentials

of his glory. Then hammer away thou | sturdy smith, for thou art forging thine | own destiny. Weave on thou industrious | worker in the mill, for thou art turning | out clothes of great value; write on toil- | worn student of nature and history, for thou art sending civilization and knowledge into | the innermost parts of the earth. Plow /! and plant ye tillers of the soil, for those | broad acres of yours are as pregnant with fruitage as that which hung in Eden. The | Shirker—the man who lies to be relieved | from the necessity of working—who shuns | and dodges the duties of life, was next. portrayed. Then the courageous man, | who fearlessly performs his part, how dis. | agreeable soever it may be, was| brought upon the stage; and then the audience was asked to say which they pre- | ferred as an example. They could, the | lecturer said fashion their lives after the | mould of either; and he implored them | not to let death’s curtain, when it falls, fall npon “ Souls of geese That wear the form of men,’’

The Grumbler-~ the man who is continu- ally looking on the dark side of things— was next sketched. With this unlovely character was contrasted the cheerful per- son, in the presence of whom all is suns shine.

ES.AN

Tus thirty-first Annual General Meeting of the Diocesan Chureh Society was held in St. Paul’s schoolroom, on Tuesday last, Justice Hensley presided,

The attendance was large. Mr.

After singing

and prayer, the Chairman addressed the |

meeting. He expressed his gratification at

seeing such a large number of persons pre- | sent, notwithstanding the almost impassable |

state of the roads

earnestness of churchmen in church affiirs, He regretted the absence of the Rey, Mr.

| Dyer, whose presence had searcely ever

been missed at the Annual Meeting; but

he was pleased to see and welcome the Revds, Messrs. McLean and Ross, , @ spite the difficulties ofa journey to Chars

lottetown, were, for the f ime, present.

He alluded to the support which had here-~

tofore been extended to the Church in

Prince Edward Island; and expressed the opinion that the time had arrived when

| such support was no longer required. & 1

The Secretary, Rey. D. Fitzgerald, read the Annual General report, and also the

report of the clergy of the several parishes. |

In the General report the committee ac-

knowledge the many temporal and spirits |

ual blessings which have been showered

upon the Church and people of this Island |

during the past year; but express regret that New London, Port Hill and Cherry Valley are still without pastors, and fear that if the vacancies are not soon filled up, much loss will acerne to the Church of Eng. land.

Concerning St. Pauls, Charlottetown, the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald reports, among other improvements, the completion of the Chan-

| cel and the consequent enlargement of the

Church by some sixty sittings. The con- tributions of the congregation during the past year amounted to $2,709,

From St. Peter's, Charlottetown, Rev. G. W. Hodgson, acknowledges receipts to the amount of $2,254.67 ; expresses his gratification at the presentation to him— shortly before his departure to England— of an address and a purse of $600, and ac- knowledge the services of Rev. Dr. Wright, of McGill College, Montreal, during his ab- sence.

Rev. Dr. Read, of Milton, Rustico, and Crapaud, reports progress as the fruit of his labors ; and thankfully acknowledges several substantial tokens of the apprecia- tion of his various congregations.

Rev. Mr. McLean, of St. Eleanors and Summerside, reports that, however much the people comprising his differ, they

congregations all agree in one thing—they haye, since his arrival among them. been unformly, and without exception kind to him. The contributions during the year amounted to $1,672.

Rey, Mr. Ross, of Georgetown, only took charge on the 2lst June 1874, and con- sequently had not much to report. He re. ports the departure from Georgetown, of several leading members of the Church,

Rev. Mr. Dyer, Alberton, reports the

steady growth of the Church under his care. |

He has been ill, but has only—he is thank- ful to say~ missed one Sunday’s services in the Church. St. Peters’ has, past year, been provided with an organ; and his floc: are now called to worship by the ‘sound of the Church going bell —the gift ofa munificent donor in Charlottetown ’

Resolutions to the following effect were passed

Moved by the Chief Justice, seconded by John Brecken, Esq:

“That the Report now read be adopted and printéd under the direction Committee.”

Moved by Dr. L: eming, econded by R

. Fitzgerald

‘That this meeting desire to express its gratitude to Almighty God, for the many temporal and spiritual blessings vouchsafed to the Island during the past year.’

Moved by Rev, Mr. McLean, seconded by Rev. Mr. Ross

‘That this meeting desires to express

thankfulness to the Home Societies which |

have for many years rendered aid in furs thering the interests of the Church amongst us.

Moved by Louis H. Davies, Esq., seconds ed by Rev. Geo, Hodgson, and supported by R. R. Fitzgerald Esq. :

‘That the thanks of this meeting be given to the collectors for their valuable services, and that the Executive Committee be the same as last year.’

On motion, the part of the above resolu

| tion referring to the Exeeutive Committee, was amended by substituting for the name |

of the Hon. John Aldous, that of Louis H, Davies, Esq.

Able speeches were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Fitzgerald, McLean, Ross and Hodgson, and by Louis TH. Davies and Charles Palmer E:quires.

On motion of H. J. Cundall. Esq, W. C. DesBrisay was appointed Treasurer of the Society.

On motion of Rev. D. Fitzgerald, the Ven. Archdeacon Read took the Chair, and the thanks of the meeting were given to

His Honor Judge Hensley for his dignified |

conduct therein.

After the Chairman had briefly replied, a coliection was taken up in aid of the funds ; a hymn was sung, and the meeting dismiss. ed with the accustomed benediction.

The members of the Royal Colonial In- situte, of London, England, occasionally in- dulge in a friendly interchange of ideas as to the future of the colonies. They did so the other day. Asis usual in literary and scientific associations ‘a paper” was read. A Mr. Freeland read it and those present discussed it. The paper “pointed out that as some of our dependencies now had some million of inhabitants, they must be allow. ed in time to have some voice in the policy and government of the nation. The policy

ot extending the principle of cenfederation |

to the empire reemed to be the most prac- ticable and comprehensive mode of effus- ing this end.’ Mr. Haliburton—a wells known name—had «nother scheme. He

was of the opinioh that the colonial subject |

would one day be forced upon the attention of the Legislature, and that the only way to prevent “great confederate groups of colon- ies drifting off was by giving thema_ yoice

notin the British Paliament but in the | Cabinet''—a thing that Sir Robert Torrens | objected toas “contrary to the genius of | our constitution.’ The sending of dipiomatic |

agents to Downing street was the only remedy Sir Robert could suggest, and so the association left the subject an open question for discussion.

His name is Juna Dass, and he is supposed tobe a native of Benares.

The annual meeting of the Dominion Zoard of Trade took place at Ottawa on the 19th inst., and after the address of the | President, Mr. Lfowland, proceeded to business. The first subject of importance was

brought up the report by Mr. A Robertson, of Montreal on behalf of the delegition appointed to represent the Board at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Newcastle, Eng; | land. The unfavorable reception of the | draft reciprocity treaty by the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and the painss taking though unsuccessful efforts of Mz | Robertson to place the treaty in a favorable | light. were duly appreciated by the Do. nion | Che pi } of establishing 1 tl ion Cabinet a portfolio of commerce, was gtcce lly submitted to

The views of | their utility therefore are not contined to Canada. Mr. Howland read a paper on Tribunals of Commerce, which recommend- | ed itself to the Board,as will be seen by the following resolution, which was adopt- | led :—*That the question of establishing | fribunais of Commerce, or Arbitration | Courts, be brought under the special nos | tice of the Hon. Minister of Justice, with | a view to the introduction of a measure during the next session of the Dominion | Parliament to provide for the summary | settlement of commercial disputes and dif- ferences, and that the paper just read be incorporated in the proceedings of the joard.”? Amongst the arguments used in favor of the proposed Tribunal were the | serious loss of time sustained by merchants | | in seeking redress at a court of Justice | }and the fact that the rules and customs | | which regulate the transactions between | traders, are, in 2 majority of cases, of no | effectin a court oflaw. Tribunals of Com- | merce have been established for years in| |Germany, France and the city of New | York, and the result, it is said, has not | only been eminently satisfactory to traders, } but also these courts have obtained the | approval of the different legislative bodies | and of the highest legal authorities.’’

Never were criminals so daring and never did they fly at such high g:me. In the little town of Paris, Ontario, a gang broxe into the residence of a bank mans ager, gagged and bound him, and took the keys of the safe. Only by the accident of leaving one of the children untouched were their plans frustrated. Shortly afterwards the express van of a Great Western train was entered, the men in charge bound,and all the money and securities stolen. The | plunder amounted to about $40,000. And | only about a week or two ago a most des- | perate and daring attempt was made to rob one of our banks in the city.
