— The Boston Herald of the 9th inst., has an article headed, ** The Tendency of the Times,” in the course of which it says:
‘*A calm and unsensational view of the present cowlitioa of affairs will couvince in- telligent Americans that the trouble which the chueches of this countrv, and the Roman Catholic no leas then the others, have to con- tend with, is ast the transfer of believers from one sect to another, bat the gradual disinte- gration of ail of the old forms of religious faith. The question which the future has to solve is how, in the alsence of those old in- spicaticns of faith, human conduct is to be rightly regulated, for the tendency of the times is toward a disregard of the dogmatical teachings of the Rowan Catholic no less than the Protestant Churches.”
—The Enpire remorks that while Mr. Wiman has been pretending that Commer- cit! Cui is makiog great headway in the United States, Seustor Sherman informs bio that there is a poor prospect for any- thing of the kiad, and Mr. Blaine distinct- ly states that if Cunadiins wish the use of United States markets, they must become Unired States citizens. Thess are the two great leaders of the Republican party and the two ablest statesmen of the republic. The Democratic party's fisc«] policy is em- bodied in the Mil's Tarif Bill, now before Congress, which, if passed, would admit sume Canadian products free, but so far from admitting all free, it keeps up a high duty on most of them. This bill, however, is blocked in the Senate and will be thrown out. And these are the very latest deliv- erances of both of the great political parties in that country.
Georgetown Notes.
The Acadia whistles farewell this morn- ing, and primly ploughs the waters for Halifax, to return no more this year. She is the Admiral ship of the Canadian fisher- ies protection fleet, and is very handsomely gotten up. Commander Gordon, of Hud- sun bay fame, a noble and courteous gen- tlemian, admires our magnificent harbor, hence probably his selection for head- quarters. May success crown his efforts, whether in preserving our country from Yaukee encroachments or in other spheres. fits officers are fine fellows all. The pur- Mr. Tilton, whose cheerful coun- tenance will be always welcome in our little towp, and whom all **we boys” are fond of--and indeed, if the golden opinions of the fairer ones were only expressible— buc h-u-s-h. We hope to see him with the other othicers next season in our port again, unless the fisheries question is settled.
The cruiser Critic has completed her services fur the season, and we have her gallant Captain a fellow townsman again.
The assessora of our town deserve praise for pi scing duwn some new sidewalks. They will receive more thanks—when there is more mud.

A Wild Night at Souris.
PITCHED BATTLE BETWEEN SAILORS AND CITIZENS — STICKS AND STONES FREELY USED —ONE MAN DIES AND SEVERAL ARE gRRIOUSLY INJURED—THE MEN ARREST- ED—THE INQUEST.
Soo
Tuey had a wild time in Souris last night. Between eight and nine o'clock, as Mr. Joseph Doyle, a well-known merchant of that place, was passing along Main Street, he was assaulted by a party of some eight or ten drunken fishermen belonging to the Amerizanschooner Oviest, command- ed by Captain Charles Lee. The attack was made in the neighborhood of Mr. Jas. Dunphy’s saddler shop, and he very natur- ally ran outside to the assistance of Mr. Doyle, who was being handled pretty roughly. Some of the attacking party then transferred their attentions from Doyle to Dunphy, using him rather badly.
By this time quite a number of people had gathered, and the fight became gen- eral, sticks, axe-handles, ete., being freely used on both sides. After a short struggle, and the ranks of the citizens had been in- creased by the arrival of reinforcements, the bleod-thirsty sailors discovered that they were getting the worst of the encounter, and beat an in- glorious retreat down Mam Street to Morrow's corner.
The crowd of citizens, wko were by this time pretty well worked up over the affair, followed the retreating sailors as fast as they could, and succeeded in capturing several of them and putting them in the lock-up, where they were confined all night. One of the sailors, a man named Stockles, belonging to Guysboro, N. S.. fell or got struck in the head and was knocked over the bank near Morrow’s store, falling a distance of between forty and fifty feet. He was picked up and taken to McInnis’ forge in the neighborhood, and Dr.z;McLean was calied in. The Doctor's examination de- veloped the fact that the man’s skull was badly fractured and that his death was but a question of time. Early this morning he died. He leaves a wife and three children in Canso,
In the pockets of the sailors arrested were found a number of granite stones which looks as though the raid upon the people were premeditated. The remainder of the attacking party made their escape. LATER. Our Souris correspondent telegraphs as follows this afternoon: The names of the sailors arrested are Neil McNeill, John Melsasc, William Brewer, Hugh Gillis, Angus McIsaac and John Morrison. They were arraigned in the Magistrate’s court this forenoon, and Neil McNeill, William Brewer, Hugh Gillis and Angus Melsaac were fined $50 each or four months’ im- prisonment. All were forwarded to George- town jail, in charge of constables, this afternvon. Captain Lee offers to pay the fines of Mclsaac and Gillis. The inguest on the body of the unfortu- nate sailor Stockles is still in progress. The evidence taken thereat will appear in THE EXAMINER on Monday. Messrs. Doyle, Dunphy and the others attacked by the sailors are not very seri- ously injured.

General Sherman's peculiar hamor was
illustrated the other day when, commenting upon the rapidity with which the veterans are passing away, he said he must hurry up and die or else there would be nobody left to bury him but militia. _ Diniel Webster is credited with the follow- ing: ‘‘If we work upon marble, it will perish; it we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they wiil crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with priaciples, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity.
An individual who is described as ‘‘ George Kdward Gascoigne Hawkes, 25, a solicitor's clerk,” was up before a London, England, m tgistrate, charged with kissing a girl named Alice Farrell against her will in a railway carriage. The girl, a waitress, got into the same compirtment alone with Hawkes, and he at once assaulted her in the way described. When the train stopped at the next station, which was one minute later, she got out and give him in charge. The prisoner thoaght it was bard to arrest him, as he denied the kiss- ing, but admitted putting his arm around the complainant's waist.

The publication of the Emperor Froder- ick’s diary has been the absorbing topic of the week in foreign politics. It is iter- esting, not only as giving us new light on the Franco-German war and the other events of 1870, but also as enabling the
‘outsider to see something more of the writer’s character than was public property before. hibited the reproduction of the diary, but not till too late. Every daily paper in
Zurope has published a more or Jess ex-
tended report of its contents, We now know —supposing the alleged journal to be
'genuine—that the Crown Prince, as he then was, had more to do with the unifica-
ition of Germany and the assumption by his
‘father of the Imperial title, than either
Prince Bismarck or the first German Em-
peror. [it was the Crown Prince who dis- armed the opposition of the lesser king- |doms, who ventured on a forward policy from which his elders shrank, who set his mind upon attaining the Imperial dignity for his tather and his successors, and rested not until the end crowned his work.
*
In spite of his Imperialistic tendencies, Frederick 111. was, inthe truest sense of the word, liberal. He understood the art of governing ; he knew that men could be led whither they would not be driven, but that a conciliatory policy must be free from the suspicion of weakness. We under- stand now what Germany, and all Europe forthe matter of that, have lost by the untimely death—as men regard it—-of the second Emperor of the re-united German States. His humanity during the war has long been known of all men; his tender consideration for the feelings of a con- quered but brave foe is in his diary shown forth ; his deep religiousness is exemplitied by the few words in which he speaks of the baptism of his child, and partaking of the Sacrament with his wife before starting on his campaign ; while his thorough genuine- ness could not be better summed up than in the entry which he wrote on Christmas Day, respecting the way in which Chris- tians pray the God of Peace to help them in their battles, and regard a victory as a sure token that they have gained Heaven's favor, and their opponents lost it.

The death of Marshal Bazaine at the time when all Europe was discussing the Emperor Frederick's diary reminds us,that one who was probably a_ better general than the Crown Prince has gone duwn to his grave unlamented, while the other's death cannot be suiliciently deplored. Bazaine was a man of respectable birth who passed through the ranks to a commission, and attained the summit of every soldier's ambition. His surrender of Metz to the Germans although he had nearly 200,000 men with him, is vividly inthe recollection of all who were old enough to follow the fortunes of the campaign of 1870. After the restoration of peace, Bazaine was tried by court-martial and sentenced to degra- dation and death. It would have been more merciful to have inflicted capital punishment than to banish him to the Isle of Ste. Marguerite and allow him to make his escape thence. A miserable existence dragged out at Madrid, dishonoured and deserted, he has died at the age of seventy- seven, and the expenses of his funeral were generously provided by the Queen Regent.

In the North and South of Africa the news is peaceful. The Sultan has vanquish- ed his rebels in Morocco ; and in'Zululand Dinizulu has surrendered— though to the Transvaal authorities in preference to the British. The Volksraad of the Orange Free State— which was wisely governed by the late Sir J. H. Brand, in friendly co-oper- ation with his British neighbors—has no- minated the Chief Justice Reitz as a can- didate for the vacant Presidency.
*
From India no more news has come, either of the Sekkim or the Black Moun- tain Expedition. Further away on the Russo-Afghan frontier it would seem that important events are impending. Ishak Khan has been defeated in what is called a battle, but is probably only an affair of out- posts ; but he is surrounded by three armies of the Ameer, which are gradually closing in upon him, and we may expect to hear soon of a decisive engagement.

I am asked by a correspondent what were the most famous libraries in the world? I am not sure whether I can give a complete list, but the following are the best known among the ancients :—
That of Alexandria, formed by the Ptolemies, and destroyed by the Arabs a. p. 641,
The first public library of Rome was founded by Asinus Polio ; the second,called the Palatine, by Augustus.
The Royal Library of the Fatimites of Egypt contained 100,000 manuscripts splendidly bound. — Gibbon.
The library of the Ommiades of Spain contained 600,000 volumes, 44 of which were catalogues. —Gibbon.
There were seventy public libraries in the Kingdom of Andalusia.—Gibbon.
When the Monastery of Croydon was burnt in 1091, its library consisted of 90) volumes, 300 of which were very large. -- Ingulphus.
Among the modern libraries those ac- counted the best are :—
The British Museum, which contains 89, - 000 manuscripts, and about 900,000 vol- umes (some 40,000 additions are made an- nually.)
The Imperiale, France, about 600,000 books, 500,000 pamphilets,and 85,000 manu- scripts. aS
The Munich, about 600,000 books and 100,000 manuscripts.
The Vatican, about 150,000 books and 40,000 manuscripts.

In answer to an enquiry respecting the meaning of the expression, ** The ten dumb animals which live in the Muslem’s Para- dise,” I think it is evidently an allusion vo the Mohammedan tradition that ten dumb animals have been admitted to Paradise ; 7 they are :—
(1) The dog Kratim, which accompanied the seven sleepers.
(2) Balaam’s ass, which spoke with the poet & man to reprove the disobedient
