By last mail, the St. John Telegraph was favored with a letter from Captain Edward Palliser, a distinguished officer of ihe English Army enclosing another letter which he had written for the London Morn- ina Post on the subject of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Capt. Palliser, in this letter, refers to the visit of the Canadian Ministers, and remarks that ‘apart from the magnificent project of peopling with our leyal English the rich portions of territory through which this line must run in its course to the west, the railroad is looked upon by officers of long experience as one ef great importance to the strategic wants ef the empire.’ Captaim Palliser dilates upon the importance te the Empire of for- tifying Esquimalt, aud maintaining com- munication through Canada, thence to Quebec ; and adds : tatien, therefore, on the duties charged on our goods by the Canadians should lead us to ignere the enormous cost to them and the great advantage to us of their railway now in hand to our gate of the Pacific Ocean. Four millions drawn at sight was not con- sidered too much by the people ef England te pay for their shares in the Suez Canal ; let us hope that the time will soon come when not only England but Austria also will recognize and act upon the necessity of the completion of this great western high-
way of the British Empire.” . <a +

THE excursion to-day to the tea party at Souris—to which we several times directed attention—preved a grand success. The train provided was unable to carry ail the passengers, an: befere Souris was reached a special had to be put on, (One hundred and. fifty one took passege at Charlottetown, 03 at Mount: Stewart, 139 at St. Peters, 112 at Morell, and like proportions at smaller sta- tiens along the line, until the excursionists numbered about six hundred. The weather was splendid, and, thongh we have not heard particulars, we have ne doubt that the tea party was a very successful affair.

Dean Srr,—In your columns of yesterday, | see that Dr. Leeming has been somewhat blamed, for the fearless boldness of some ol his fearless denunciations of the tyranny of the English Government. If you were to assist at some of the debates 1m the english House of Commons, you would hear Enghish- men of unquestioned loyalty, and especially members of the Opposition, thundering against the oppressive policy of the Govern- ment, in fay more unmeasurel lines than those made use of by the distinguished orator, Nor is it a mark of disloyalty, to hold up to universal scorn the brutal words spoken by the Duke of Cambridge, at the time of the trish famime. ‘‘I am told,” said he, ‘‘ that the case in Ireland is not so bad after all. 1 understand that retten potatoes, mixed with seaweed, or even grass, atford a very whole- some and nutritious food. We know that an Irishman can live upon anything, and there's plenty of grass, if the potato crop should fail.” It is no sin against loyalty to denounce such brutal language. Suppose there were a famine in Scotland, and the people were dying by thousands, what would the Scotch residents of this Island think of the man who would rise up in British Parliament and say, ‘LT understand there are plenty of thistles in Scotland, and these, when properly stewed, will make wholesome dish.” Sucha wretch would deserve to he crea- tion. The remarks made by Dr. Leeming, in his grand oration, were aimed against Injus- tice, Cruelty and Inhumanity.
Yours truly,

The Gospel According to Timothy.
To the Editor of the Keramii Cr.
Sar.—‘' Timothy” is ont with an epistle to clergymen. He cannot give utterance to his unbounded delight at De. Leeming’s oratory without exhibiting his spleen. I am sorry to see that there is a difference of opinion as to the merits of the recent lecture. If reports be true, the Rev. gentleman said some things that would never be said by an orator. This pleased ‘Timothy's’ taste. Hence the burning words of warning to the Charlotte- town ranters. Perhaps, did ‘* Timothy ” ceduce into daily life the advice given-him, even by ranters, he would not be the
torion udlicun he is. The word notor1ous pioyliedi le i ‘‘ranter” comes with an ill gracefrom that quarter. I have heard him on an occasion when calmness and moderation were re- quired, and I could not help comparing his windy spouting to the fiery ravings of a rank Communist. Let me assure him that

Tus Previncial Rifle Association shooting eemmenced this morning at Kensington Rifle Range with a good attendance of marksmen. The tirst match was at 200 yards, ten shots. Sergeant R. V. Longworth succeeded in making a score of 46 out of a possible 50, while Private J. Crockett scored 42 and Pri- vate Pickard, 40.
Ir is significant of the popularity of Prince ef Wales College and Normal School that the candidates who applied yesterday for admis- sion numbere:! one hundred and eighty-seven. Of these nearly a hundred failed in the exam- ination in arithmetic, and consequently can- uot enter.

he mistakes his man, if he imagines that he will get clear of the lash which he so fully deserves. ‘T'o hear a canting hypocrite like this—a man who is neither a_ practical Catholic nor a good Presbyterian—an empty, ignorant blow, dictating style tu the Charlicttetown preachers, is something sub- limely ridiculous.

How deep is the grief felt in England te-day
For those who are lest on the sea far away,
Tossed on that ocean, with no one te save,
The restless Atlantic the poor sailors’ grave,
ne are weeping for their young sailer OVS,
Time swiftly tleeting, brings them no joy;
The ‘‘Atalanta’s” crew of three hundred and more
Will never return to their own nutive shore,
They left dear old England, at least we are
told,
This peble young crew, all fearless and bold,
And while taking farewell of that dearly-loved
shore,
‘'was far from their thoughts they would see
it no more.
Over the winds and the waters we have ne
control,
But all must be ready to obey the great call,
ior those gallant young seamen, that noble
ship's crew,
We commend them to Heaven, ‘tis all we can
do,
Oh! where is my boy? the fond mother cries,
May angels watch o’er him, wherever he lies;
i cherished and nourished him at my own
breast,
| shorfld like to have kissed him e’er he went
to rest.
No tombstone can mark the young seamen’s grave,
in the ocean they lie ‘neath the Atlantic’s
rude wave,
Perhaps only time for one fervant prayer;
Oh, Father, receive it, may we meet them all
there. ’
