This amount will, it is expected, cover

To say that this propesal implied that either the Commis-

best evidence that they did not and were

not understood to advocate that scheme on

the Commission.

But why this anxiety to claim Sir Charles Tupper as favoring Sir Richard Cartwright’s scheme? If the Grits felt they had a good sound policy, does any one believe they would be so anxious to share the credit and the glory with Sir Charles Tupper or any other Liberal-Conservative ? Misery loves company, and itis on this principle, and no other, that the Patriot is endeavor- ing to decoy men like Sir Charles Tupper, who have made reputations as statesmen, into the mire with themselves.

‘*Par Avance,” in Tue EXxaMIner of the 13th, expresses a wish to know my opinion upon unfermented wine. It is a mat- ter regarding which I know little or nothing as I never have drunk, and never intend to drink, wine of any kind, at least so long as I retain my present opinion, which | trust will be all my life. 1 remember writing some months ayo that the importa- tion of wine should be prohibited for every purp »se except for the Holy Eucharist, and as it is with reference to its use in this connection of which ** Par Avance ” writes, 1 ca mot discuss the matter with him, as

I fear we should find that we had no common standing ground. I would state the matter ia this way:

Where the power of consecration exists, after that sacred act takes place, the acci- dents of the wine remain; where the power of cousecration does not exist, I imagine that one kind of fluid would do just as well asan>ther. ‘* Par Avance” will thus see that we should hopelessly differ at the very outset. **

I have never seen a satisfactory explana- tion as to how itis that so many people in England murder the Queen’s English in the way they do. I do not mean by a violation of the ryles of grammar; that is to be found everywhere, but with regard to the letter H—the putting it on the com- mencement of words beginning with a vowel, and omitting it where it ought to be pronounced, I believe the inhabitants of Shropshire -are notorious offenders in this respect. The other day I came across the following petition, by the letter H, ad- dressed to the inhabitants ef Shrewsbury : ** Whereas | have by you been driven From house, from heme, from hope, from

heaven, And placed by your most learn’d society In ex le, anguish, and anxiety, And used, without one just pretence, With arrogance and insolence ; I here demand full restitution, And beg you'll mend your elocution.”

To this the following answer was re- turned :—~-

‘* Whereas we've reseued you, Ingrate,

From handcutf, horror, and from hate,

From hell, from horsepond, and from halter, And consecrated yon in altar ;

And placed you where you ne'er should be,

In honor and in honesty ;—-

We deem your prayer a rude intrusion,

And will not mend our elocution.”

I have been asked the origin of the device of the eagle on national banners ; but it goes back to such remote antiquity that I have not been able todoso, It was the ensign of the ancient kings of Persia and of Babylon. The Romans adopted various other figures on their camp standard ; but Marius, B. C. 102, made the eagle alone the easign of the legions, and contined the other figures to the cohorts. From the Romans, the French, under the Empire, adopted the eagle. The emperors of the Western Roman Empire used a black eagle ; those of the East a golden one. The sign of the golden eagle, met with in taverns, is inallusion to the emperors of the East. Since the time of the Romans, almost every state that has assumed the designation of an empire has taken tho eagle for its ensign: Austria, Russia, Prus- sia, Poland, France and America all took the eagle. The two-headed eagle signifies a double empire. The Emperors of Austria, whoclaim to he considered the successors Of the Ceesars of Rome, used the doub e-headed eagle, which is the eagle of the Eastern femperors with that of the Western, typifying the ‘*Holy Roman Empire,” of which the emperors of Austria considered themselves asthe representa- tives. Charlemagne was the first to use it, for when he became master of the whole of the German Empire he added the second head to the eagle, A. D. 802, to denote that the Empires of Rome and Germany were united in him.

People often enquire what is the mean- ing of those small marks, followed by figures and initials, on gold and silver watches. They are the recognized gold and silver legal marks, known as the ‘hall mark,” and are of various devices, showing where the article has been manufactured or assayed. Duty mark is the head of the Sovereign, showing the duty is paid ; date mark is a letter of the alphabet, which varies every year ; the standard mark for gold is, for England, a Hon passant; Edin- burg, a thistle ; Glasgow, a lion rampant ; Ireland, a harp, crowned.

* Have any of your readers ever tried to crystallise flowers? The experiment is a very simple one, can be tried without difti- culty, and the effect is very beautiful. I can assure them that if they will adopt the following plan and exercise reasonable care they will find chtir efforts crowned with success: Dissolve eighteen ounces of pure alum ina quart of soft*spring water (ob- serving the same proportion for a greater or less quantity) by boiling it gently in a close tin vessel, over a moderate fire, keep- ing it stirred with a wooden spatula until the solution is complete. When the liquid is alinost solid, suspend the articles to be crystallized, by means of a smal! thread or twine, from a lath or small stick laid horiz- ontally across the aperture of a “7 glass or earthen jar as being best adapted for the purpose, into which the solution must be poured. The respectivearticlesshoul!d re- iain in the solution twenty-four hours; when they are taken out they are to be carefully suspended in the shade until they are per- fectly dry. When the subjects to be erystalized are put into the sulution while it is quite cold, the crystals are apt to be formed too large; on the other hand, should it be too hot the crystals will be small in proportion. The best temperature is about 95 degrees of Fahrenheit’s ther- mometer. Among specimens that may be operated on are the moss-rose, ears of corn and the bearded wheat, the hyacinth, pink garden daisy, and a great variety of others; in fact, there are few subjects that are not eligible to this mode of preservation. The fitness of the solution for the purpose may be ascertained by putting a dropof it on a slip of grass, and seeing if it crystallizes as it cools; if so, the solution is sufficiently strong. Then twist round a sprig of plant, a cider, a wire ornament of any kind, or still better, some worsted. After being immersed as already directed, the surface of the whole will be found covered with beauziful crystallization.

New Hotel.

A MEETING was held last evening in the oftice of A. B. Warburton, Esq., for the purpose of taking into consideration the project of building a first-class hotel on the south side, near Bellevue. on

A desirable site has been chosen which can be purchased at a fair price. The ad- vantages of a hotel on the south side, at a convenient distance from the city, the vicinity of a good market, the splendid view and excellent bathing grounds were stated by F. T. Newbery, Esq.

Plans were submitted by Wm. C. Harris, architect, also specifications by Lowe Bros. for a hotel to accommodate 60 guests; ar’ rangments being made to increase the ac- commodation at a small expense if re- quired.

A stock list was opsned, and a large and influential committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions. The shares have been made as low as $90. <A considerable, amount of stock was subscribed by those present.

The meeting adjourned till Friday even-

ing next, to meet at the same place. —

. The Local Government Bill,

As Disraeli surprised the world with his elec oral reform measure of twenty years ago so has the Salisbury Government creat- ed a genuine sensation by the Local Govern. ment measure which they lately introdyced in parliament. The whole system of the administration of affairs in England will be changed, as is apparent from this sum- mary of the provisions of the pro- posed act:* The chief features are: County and district councils elected by household suffrage, both men and women voting as they do for municipal councils; the county council to leyy rates, maintain roads, bridges, asylums, etc., to control reformatury and industrial schools, enforce the rivers pollution act and to regulate matters connected with registration, weights and measures and adulteration of food and drugs. These councils would also take over many of the powers now invested in the Local Government board, such as gas and water, electric lighting, artisans’ dwell- ings, etc. This new- coungil will alsa. be able to borrow money for county purposes, its budget, however, being audited and con- trolled by the gLocal Government board. The police will be. managed by a joint committee of the county council and quarter sessions’ magistrates. With the magistrates the county council will also share the control of licensing drink-shops, the county being divided into districts, each with a licensing committee. Against any decision of this committee appeal lies to the county couneil. Thé district councils will take the place of the Local boards, which now hold sway in urban and rural sanitary districts, and will have miscellaneous powers extending from the protection of infant life to the licensing of pawnbrokers and the storage of petro- leum. Ten yvreat towns are to be made counties jn themselves, viz: Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds Bristol, Bradiord, Sheffield, Nottingham, New- castle and Hull. Other boroughs of over 10,000 population will lose control of their police and will have other of their fune- tions transferred to the couaty councils. The smaller boroughs will retain their local ,owers, but will be represented in the county coungils for licensing and financial purposes. London is to bé mad a county ia itself, witha lord lieutenant, bench of magistrates and elected councils (or rather three-fourths elected, one-fourth selected.) The vestries are not touched, the corrupt metropolitan board of works will he abolished, and there will be district councils elected by men and women rate- payers. The London police will however, remain as at present under the central government.

[For Tue Examrver. } The Bay of Chaleur.

BY THE REV. FRED. E. J. LLOYD.

[CONCLUDED. ]

Bathurst, on the south-west coast of the Bay, and in the Province of New Bruns- wick, is a thriving town, and a good deal of business is transacted there. It has a beautiful situation and is visited by a large number of persons during the summer months. Its harbor is large, safe and picturesque, and is frequented by vessels of considerable tonnage.

In addition to the lumbering industry which, as we have said, is confined to Campbelton, Dalhousie and New Rich- mond, the remaining industries of the in- habitants of the Bay of Chaleur are limited to agriculture and fishing. The soil, gen- erally, is most fertile andjthe climate very moderate ;‘consequently the crops raised are usually of the finest description. Snug, picturesque homesteads gladden the eye all along the coast, but more generally in that portion of it which is comprised in the County of Bonaventure. (We are writing now of the northern coast.)

On the other side of the Bay, at least in some parts, agriculture is in a still further advanced condition; but, unless the writer is mistaken, the day is not far distant when this portion of our vast Dominion will vie with the rich prairies of the North-west territory in value, if not in extent. of agri- cultural resource. At present, except in a very few instances, all the farms border on the sea shore. The interior, although mostly owned by various individuals, is practizally a terra incognita, and 1 make the statement with regret. Nothwithstand- ing the vast tide of immigration which has been flowing to our shores during recent years, it has almost wholly set in the direc- tion of Manitoba and the North-west gen- erally; and, amazing as it may seem, it 18 nevertheless a patent fact, that the exten- sive tracts of the richest lands in the region of the Bay of Chaleur have remained abso- lutely unaffected by it. The land is to be purchased at the nominal sum of from twenty-five to fifty cents per acre, and as far as my information goes, which I know is trustworthy, in no single instance has it failed to exceed the hope of the husband- man. It has always been a mystery to the writer why, out of the countless multitude who come to Canada to settle, ostensibly at least, as farmers, so large a proportion, arriving in Quebec, allow themselves to be rushed off in an immigrant train where they are imprisoned for some times a week, enduring far greater misery than that inci- dent to their voyage across the Atlantic, when they may procure as much good land as they could wish within a journey of from twelve to fifteen hours from Quebec.

In those places on the coast where the inhabitants have the prudence to devote their energies exclusively to agriculture, and the strength to resist the temptation (which is great) to depend, even to the most limited extent, upon fishing, the greatest comfort and prosperity are enjoy- ed. Fish are fickle, and fishing is, at best, & precarious means of subsistence, and to engage in it for any length of time is the surest means to unfit a man for everything else, as it is fatal to vigour of mind and }body, and quickly saps out every shred of energy and life possessed by its devotees.

_ Of the Bay of Chaleur fishermen the large majority are French ‘Canadians, and consequently they are, generaily speaking, the least comfortably off. In very many cases they are culpably and hopelessly im- provident; but despite the misery which inevitably follows, no distress of. whatever kind or in whatever degree, can deprive these people of their much-to-be-envied happiness and contentment. Of those amongst the English speaking portion of the community wlid deyote their time and labor entirely to farming, and fish, if they ever do, for culinary purposes only, -the ] t number are of Scotch descent, the

being descendants of the earlier settlers from England and Jersey. The settlement of New Richmond possesses a large Scotch population, who have a fine meeting house, manse and a_ resident mjnister. It is just like a bit of the High- lands, and, weré it pét for the conspicious absence of the purple heather which clothes the sides of brae and hill of ‘‘hame,” it would be difficult to distinguish it from a bit of bonnie Scotland. Still, asa Scotch- man will be a Scotchman wherever he goes |—and where does he not go ?—despite the often-time,hard rubs of an expatriated life, every member of the brotherhood in New Richmond ig as canny as a well-bred Scot, ay, and to his ‘credit be ij said, just as hospitable too. At New Richmond also, reside several Indian families, who make their living either by basket-making or act- ing in the useful capacity of guides, to the sportsmen who frequent the neighborhood in the Spring and Autumn for the purpose of shooting the wild geese which congregate there in large flocks at those seasons of the

ear, These Indians live in small wooden ouses #pon their own reseryation, which e

is called ‘the ‘‘ Mission,” and they haye a nice Church with a resident clergy- man. They are Roman Catholics.

Of fish of every kind and description the cold waters of the Bay possess a plentiful store ; while the rivers which flow into it literally teem with trout and salmon. The latter fish are caught in large quantities by means of nets, during the months of July and August, of which the greater propor- tion usually find their way to the American

firmly secured in air-tight cases.

The valuable cod usually arrives about the middle of June, from which time until about the end of November fishing is pro- secuted. He is generally preceded a few

@|days by the caplin, which come to the

shores m large numberg for the purpose of depositing their spawn. Upon ‘their first arrival, therefore, if codfish are to be taken, it must be by the use of the seduc- tive caplin, which the fishermen catch in| seines. ter on, and until ‘the end of Bhquet, ce best bait for the fastidious cod is furnished bya g fat herring ; but from this time to the end of the season he will be captured by nothing but’ squid.

Mackerel and herring usually con e in the Bay in almost incredible quantitice, but last summer proved a notable exception, as but few herring were taken and less mack- erel. The fishermen fear that the mackerel have gone away with the Yankees. Lobsters are plentiful, and in every cove

abundant, to capture and cure as large a uantity as could be reasonably desired. Latterly, however, as in many other places one hears of, the catch has seriously diminished, owing, doubtless, in a great measure, to the wanton destruction of the female fish by the grasping but lamentably short-sighted fisherman. At length, how- ever, the Government has awoke to the fact that remedial or prohibitory measures must be taken if the lobster is to be pre- served to us, and it is pleasant hearing that such have been recently enacted. The lobster fisherman of the Bay of Chaleur, who labors hard to earn the proverbial honest penny, is, I cannot but think, sadly underpaid for the results of his anxious and unremitting toil. During last summer he received no more for his fish than about half a cent each, the lobsters taken being small, and the price given by factory ——. tors_not exceeding forty-five cents per hun- dred weight. A large number of the French and many of the English residents of the lower parts of the County of Bonaventure proceed to the south coast of Labrador about the end of June in each year, where they prosecute the extensive codfishery that region affords, until the last of August, when they return to their homes. Unlike the thousands of Newfoundlanders who spend the summer in Labradcr and fish each for himself, these men are shipped bythe Messrs. Robin, of Paspebiac, and their wages regu- lated according to the quantity of fish each person secures. The climate of the Bay of Chaleur andthe condition of the atmos- phere at ail seasons of the year are, I imagine, the same as are experienced in this Island.

On the south shore of the Bay a railway has been in operation for some years past, to the great comfort and advantage of its people. Onthenorth coast, however, inspite of the pressing need ot such a boon, and the urgent and frequent calls of the community upon the Dommion Government to supply that need, it is only quite recently that anything has been effected in the matter; but it is satisfactory to know that up to the present date a large tract of the railway has been constructed anil put in a werkable condition, At present the nearest railway station to the residents of the North Shore of the Bay is at Dalhousie, to reach which in the winter involves a journey of from ten to one hundred and thirty miles in

sleighs, During the summer months or more strictly speaking, from the beginning of May nd of November, a coastal

Once served in the capacity of at to the late General Grant, plies

housie and Gaspe twice a week, calling h Ways, at every place of-any importance along the coast. The accom- modation provided on board of this very fast and safe steamer is in most respects yery guod.

The Bay is well provided with light- houses and beacons, there being no less than eight or nine of these most necessary safeguards to navigation within its limits, thanks to the praiseworthy efforts of the Dominion Government whose anxiety to provide for the weilfare of her own, and the seamen of other nations in this direc- tion is most commendable.

Although not generally known beyond its own neighborhood, it is sad to have to= chronicle the fact that the Bay of Chaleur is haunted. The disturber of the peace is neither a mermaid, sea serpent nor anything of that ilk,—it is a poor innocent light. This light has been seen by varjous

rsons and at various times, and frequent- y at the same time. It is said to possess in a high degree the power of tapid motion, it having been known to proceed at the rate of a mile a minute. It most frequently appears in the form of a ball of red fire ; but the writer has been informed by persons in whom he could place the ut- most confidence that they have witnessed it in the form of a large ship wrapped in flames of fire; and not only so, but that they have actually and unmist4keably heard the clanking of chains on board of this near relative to the phantom ship of Cape Horn, and, strangest of all, seen the men ing about in apparent unconcern, and even a water barrel standing amidships. The light, it imay be said, does not often assume this strange form; but when it does it has been repeatedly observed by those‘ who have been fortunate enough to see it, that it invariably appears before a storm. This strange, and, as I suppose, unique apparition upon the sea, is doubt- less to be accounted for in its ball-like form, by the disturbed condition of the atmosphere, which is the immediate cause of the st»rm it is said to precede ; and

in it is just as certain that this it is which imparts to it the will o-the-wisp like character it is said to possess,
