Tue Dairy EXAMINER. AUGUST 21, 1882. | HON ~ THE WAR. ' TO Di

—THe Examiner’s special telegraphic "7 AssaJespatches shew that the war has be«cun

1 * ‘est Gall earnest. Firing has taken place neat {med ithe Ramleh entrenchments, and both

Port Said and Ismailia are under mili

tary occupation. The thunder of the

pr exnnon rolls, once more, across the Bay

it of Aboukir, and the storm of shot and

} ce shell falls heavily near the entrenchments : ver of Ramleh—the headquarters of Arabi. f " General Wolseley aud Admiral Seymour i b are together at Port Said. These two t men caunot fail to make things lively

when the orders have gone forth. The Suez Canal bas been closed, and the

‘ British order commanding this shows d that England intends to have her own I way, at least, until the war is over. It i is to be heped that the war will be short. al The dreadful suffering of the wounded : ] scldiers, the desolated homes, and the ) ‘ loss of crops must be tefrible iu their ‘ effects. —Major-General Sir Evelyn Wood,

who lead the force before Ramleh yes- terday, is the son of an English clergy- mav. The General is ‘*used to war alarms,” having been in active service during the Crimean War, and present at the storming of Redan. He distinguished himself in the Central Indian campaign, being twice mentioned in the despatches for conspicuous bravery. On his breast hangs the coveted ‘* Victoria Cross,” won in the jungles of Stronge.

the Ashantee expedition, aud was present W ood

i4 | at the capture of Coomasie, i | played a promivent part in the Zulu

War, avd in that unhappy undertaking successfully resisted every attack upou his camp. He is a great favorite amoung his men, daring, yet cautious; and ever ready to be foremost in the fray.

—Russia, bearing in mind British behaviour during the Turko-Russian war, and cherishing her ancient hatred, is doing all she can to complicate matters in Europe. Not meeting with the success she anticipated in the Constantinople conference, she sends her agents to Roumania to cause discontent and rest- lessness. Russia even sees the shadow of the English guns which checked the triamphal eutry of Russian soldiers into Constantinople. Now she bas ler oppor- tunity and is making the most of it. Her troops are being gathered, together . io Asia, warlike arrangements are taklng place in the chief military centies, and the people are looking and longing for the smell of the powder. Russia awaits the spark to make the flame.

—Arabi's position of defence cousists of half land and half sand. Redoubts, with wide glaeis and heavy Krupp guns. command the highest points. The artil- lery of the place is fairly respectable and must not be despised by the attacking army. One hundred of these Krupp guus point towards the approaching army, and some fierce firing will undoubtedly issue from them before they are silenced. Volunteers are freely entering Arabi’s service, and he daily receives pat- riotic gifts from the surrounding country. The peasants come in to work on the redoubts, in fact they did all of it. | not one of the regular soldiers having done | avy of the work,. Arabi walks among

} the men encouraging them. He is in- stalled in the house of a poor peasant, | near the Mahmoudieh Canal. —*‘Almighty God has blessed his Majesty's arms.” Sc ran the despatch from Nelson, after he had des'royed the French fleet in Aboukir Bay. This took place in 1798. Captain Berry, when he comprehended the scope of Nelson’s at- tack, exclaimed with transport, ‘ If we succeed, what will the world say ? ** There is no if in the case,” replied the Admiral; “that we shall succeed is certain—who may live to tell the story is a different question.” While this battle was taking place, the Corsican general was entering the gates of Alexandria. How differeut is it to-day. Now the Bay is again clouded with smoke, but not from the decks of Nelson’s wooden vessels. Iron-clads and 80-ton guns. drive the death-dea!ing missiles into the enemy’s entrenchments. The materials have changed, but the same British ardour, pluck, and ability are there, and the same fierce determination to uphold the name and dignity of the Euglish flag. The English forces are now placed at the angles of a triangle, and Ramleh lies between them. In fact, Arabi is jammed in, unless he can fight through oue of the bases. His prospects at pres- ent are not very inviting and the crush must soon come. The points selected by General Wolseley shew, at once, the skill cf his master mind, and will add much to his present high reputation.

OSCAR WILDE

Ir was a lovely evening when your cor- respondents eyes first greeted the graceful rm of the immortal Oscar at Long Beach. at once presented my card and received a vordial reception, After a few preliminary words, I introduced the main subject---that af sthetics. Mr. Wilde was artistically vehement in his denunciations of the mis- epresentations of the press. Strange to say, the sun-flower story is all a hoax. Mr. Wilde thinks that the flower is coarse wid vulgar, and was never admired by im. If he has a choice ef flowers, he pre- fers the fragrant sober-tinted mignonvette. fhe brown velvet knickerbocker is also a flight of the reporter's fancy. Mr. Wilde; said that he would rather be dressed ip corduroy than in the slimy snaky sinooth- ness of brown velvet. I alluded to the tritudinizing of Aisthetes. He remarked hat the fashion was nothing more thap buffoonery and mere wantonness of pose He could not say how it was first attributed to him. Being pressed by your correspond. ent on the old china and curio craze, he grew very indignant, and said that these unwearied collectors did not care for real beauty, they cared only fer vulgar, rich | varieties. He remarked that this curio | mania was a coterie creed, a thing of | fashion, and an idol for the season. He vas always opposed to it, and felt keenly the liberties which had been taken with his name. Your correspondent ventured the remark that riches were necessary for beauty. ‘*‘ No, no,” he replied, ‘' The camel after all will have passed through the needle’s eye before the rich man enters the realms of beauty—pray excuse me while I light my clay, with your permis sion’; after lighting a stumpy pipe Mr. Wilde continued . ‘‘ The rich man can hardly enjoy art at all; he has the

he boundiess power of gratifying his taste, ard that isa perilous position for preserv- ing it pure. Those who wish to buy what- | ever they fancy,are seldom those with whom | beaaty loves to dwell. The true spirit of | art delights in modest homes, and usually | where the earnings are small. Beauty | loves repose, gold is a terrible disturber.”’ | I then asked Mr, Wilde how the Aésthete | could be known? He bade me remeniber | that he (Mr. Wilde) was totally opposed to | the ordinary idea of /Estheticism ; that it | was a scandal to attribute the craze to him. | ** You may know,” said he, ‘‘ the Aathete | at once, because he values what nobody | can enjoy. He praises authors who are quite unknown ; he goes into raptures over sonnets, sunflowers, lilies, velvets, curios, and all that kind of thing He begins at | the wrong end, looking for the beautiful | without bemg beautiful. Artcan only be beautifal when life and action are beauti ful. It cannot stand alone ; it is not ex- clusive, and its characteristics are strength, simplicity and silence.” Throughout the} conversation I heard nothing about ‘‘ too, woo,” or of ‘utterly utter,’ and the other passwords of Esthetics, so I enquired of Mr. Wilde the force of these words. He said, ‘* utter nonsense ; I never use them, never encourage the use of them, and l think that they are specially vulgar when used by smart young ladies.” | may re- mark that Mr. Wilde was tall, fleshy, had close-cropped hair, and pleasant manners. Having read much of P. E. I, he intends to visit it, if possible, before leaving for England. 1 thanked the gentleman for his courtesy, and hurried home to write, and to send you, the account of the ivter- | view,

Tue Provincial Rifle Association Shoot ing was concluded at Kensington on Satur day. The shooting taroughout was good, if not better, than any reported fri m other parts of the Dominion. On Saturday we omitted stating that Sergt. Hooper won the Dominion Rifle Association medal, and also the medal presented by the Governor- General.

The Patriot team match was reported in Saturday's issue, but the reporter did not give the scores shown by the different com-

panies. They are as follows :--

Mr. James Dover, the representative of our Provincial marksmen at Wimbledon, re- turned home on Saturday evening. Mr Dover hax been most successful during the brisk competition which annually takes place at the ‘“‘home of marksmen.” In the d ffer- ent matches for which he entered he showed no mean score; and when he was placed as ** eleventh man” onthe Snider aggregate-—a match for which fifty prizes are given, and whieh is participated in by nearly three thousand of the best marksmen ot Great Britain—it is plain to be seen Mr. Dover hae done henor to the province he rey resented. Besides taking a prominent place in the Snider Competition Mr. Dover won £3 aterling in the Glen Albyu match, £2 sterling in the London Telegraph match, was third man in the Kolapore team—a match which was lost to the Canadians by sixteen points, and .was the only man of the Canadian team whe, during the match, did not lose the target. Mr. Dover, on his return, is to be congratulated on the good account he gave of himself in competition with British marksmen

§Wolsley’s Tact'c:.

The Lonton Standard of Friday Jast says that General Wolseley’s pared’ug was for an ostensible purpose, and may have been the best way of concealing his real inten. tions. Before now an enemy has been deceived by means of the press, Iron clads may decrease the deception by the bom- bardment of the forts and at nightfall the fleet of trnnsports may steam back to Alex- andria and again disembark toops, and the entire British force fall upon Arabi's de pleted entrenchments in front of Ramleh It is almost certain that reports of landing

at Abgukir are spread to throw dust in the

NDENCE, |

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Six,— The Presbyterian” in lest weeks issue, gives the prayer of Mr. Brecken’s petition, and makes some pertinent sugges- tions in reference to the question at issue.

As [ consider it advisable there should be no misapprehension on the subject, | will state briefly the whole case.

The recount was undertaken in the inter- ests of the Liberal-Conservaiive party, it

was suggested, approved of, and urged by leading friends in town and country, as the first siep itowards voiding the whole election. Tie

result, which was entirely unlooked for, placed Mr. Brecken in the position which 1 previously occupied, of a petitioner to void the election, and give the party an oppor tunity of returning two members tor the County.

Mr. Brecken has thought proper to con salt his own interests only, and tu endeaveur to have me unseated, or to void the elec ‘iin as between himself and me, leaving the opposition seat unassailed. Now {| aw quite ready to contest the seat with Mr. Brecken in every possible way, and have no fears as to the result, but I look upon such a contest between two members of the same party as most unseemly, and however it may terminate as to the individuals

| interested, must cause serious injury to the

party by creating division and disunion, when united and cordial co-operation and unanimity are essential. This, ] am mos: desirous to avoid, my object is to give strength and vigor te the party, not to weaken and distract it by needless dissen- sion, and to that end | am willing to resign the seat to Mr. Brecken, if it be made clear that theinterests of the Liberal-Conservative cause in this country require me to take that course. I have no desire to hold the seat if I am not the choice of the party; on the contrary 1 feel that such a pesition would be dishonorable—cne that my sense of right and feeling of independence would not permit me tucecupy. I propose,there- fore, that meetings be held in all the poll- Ing districts of the County for the purpose of appointing delegates, to assemble in convention in” Charlotttetown, as roon as convenient, and take the matter into con sideration. If the majority are of opinion that the interests of our cause will be advanced by having Mr. Brecken as the representative instead of me, i will with draw my opposition to his petition so that he may take the seat without further trou- ble or expense; if, on the other hand, the convention decides that it will conduce more to the interests of the party that I should continue to hold the seat, let Mr. Brecken withdraw his petition.

It is only necessary to look to the ulti- wate result of this contest, to see that such intervention is absolutely required. The best that Mr. Brecken can expect is to void the election as between him and we, in that case a writ wil) be issued for the election of one member, at this election any eligible person may nominate and I need not add that if two Liberal-Conser- vatives run against one Opposition candi- date, we inevitably lose the seat we now hold. To prevent such a consummation, the party then wil be obliged to take action, why not do so now, and at once put an end to the division that is weakening our cause If this course be adopted I wiil cheerfuliy accept the decision whatever it may be, and under any circumstances the party will have my hearty support. If, however, I have to defend my seat, I will devote to that purpose all the energy, determination and means I posses3,and if the conse- queuces be far more serious to others than is now anticipated, I have the satisfaction of feeling that I have done all in my power

to avert disaster, and am in ne wise re- sponsible. Yours truly, J. T. JENKINS. P. S.—I append the prayer of Mr.

Brecken’s petition :—

‘* Your petitioner therefore, prays that the votes and ballot papers polled and cast at sai: election for your petitioner, and so rejected and not accounted as aforesaid, be counted for yeur petitiener, and that ascrutiny be hela for that purpose; and that it may be de- termined that he, your petitioner, was duly elected and ought to have been returned at said electien, in the place and stead of the said John Theophilus Jenkins, or that the aaid election, as to him, your petitioner, and the said John ‘Theopilus Jenkins, was void.”
