If we take the world’s area of surface, ac- cepting the ordinary estimate of 200,000,- 000 square miles, and ask what pro- portion is land, and how much water—these igures will bear the propottion of three to one in favor of water, which is «a visible liquid composed ‘of two invisible gasses, viz: oxygen and hydrogen, and if we ask for the cubic contents of its surrounding air and ether (also invisible) aud which no irithmetician can mere than guess at, we shall tind an array of figures required to cover these invisible agents of comfort and sustenance that ‘‘no man can number.” But instead we will ask the science mongers of the world what of cosmic Man ? The cremationist will answer, a corpse weighing about one hundred and_ fifty pounds is cremated down to about five pounds—one hundred and furty-five pounds has thus by rapid combustion — re-entered the invisible Laboratory of Nature, and the residual ashes, (all that is left of the man) can be im-urned in a small jar. This is probably the proportion of land to air and water and if so, without going into any deep-calculation, we can see how vast must bs the invisible agents that maintain life and give vilality to the human race as they whirl round the sun

It is only astep of pardonable digression to interrogate the Hereafter, and pushing aside the curtain that separates the visible from the invisible world to ask reverently and seriously, What is a Spirit ?

By spirit we mean the alter Egos of Ha- manity and hope to reach a determinate point of identification.

What is familiarly known as breath is both a visible and invisible entity, accord- ing to the applied conditious.

Composed largely of aqueous matter, it is subject to aqueous conditions, it may be warmed into invisibility or cooled into visibility.

But the Breath of Life is the essence that came forth from God, the Infinite Spirit, and confered on man the Infinite _ privi- lege of continued existence.

A Warning.

Sir. —The attention of the trustees of the estate of the late John Knight ia calle to the fact that the celler remaining open after the removal of the buildingy on the corner of Main and Parnell Streets, has net been filled np or covered over to prevent accidents. During the storm on Thursday last, one of our most respected citizens, Mr. Mullally, of the employ of Rickham & Co., having mistaken his way in the heavy drift, walked straight into it and might have been there yet but for the timly assistance of Capt. Lord, who, passing at the time, imagined he saw a pair of mittens twirling about in the snow, in the centre of the cellar ; {but on discovering them to enclose hands with arms, and most likely a body attached to them, he immediately hastened to the aid of the distressed gentle- man and with the help of a rope and scaling ladder, succeeded in rescuing him from his perilous situation,

The trustees gwill please attend to this matter. Life imsurance policies are not plenty enough in Souris West to allow us to look with serenity on this undesirable means of breaking people’s necks.

" me To the Civie Electors of Charlottetown :

GENTLEMEN,—It will be absolutely neces- sary for all the supporters of Mr. Havilaud to poll their votes in his faver at the city election to-morrow, as the notice of Mr. Norton's resignation of his candidature for the ottice of Mayor, which appeared in the news- pspers, has no legal force or eflect. Notwith- standing said notice of resignation, Mr. Norton's friends and supporters are working hard to return him as Mayor, aud steal a victory from us to-morrow,

By order,

oinen, Patriot and Guardian are in a! desperate state of alarm for fear I should | be elected to the position of Mayor, or else there is some small venom in you (all three) and you would like to be sure and have the few who would vote for Mr. Havi- | land, if 1 was im the field, come up and vote for him, while my friends, knowing | an out of the do not vote at all, siiaply to have it to say that Mr. Haviland polled a vote so much larger than I did, and you would then have something to boast of, and have the very great satisfaction of | saying, Ltold you so, which is invariably | the remark of that humbug the chronic grumbler.

The editor of the Guardian seemed to take great delight in publishing his article of the subject, even after he knew I had withdrawn from the contest, for on the same page of his paper be publishes an article saying 1 had retired, and surely any man knowing such to be the case would be prompted to withdraw the article he had written with a desire of damaging my candidature.

Certainly, while [ was in the field I was meat fer the public to chew, but a8 soon as I withdrew I became a private individual, and the editur of the Guardian or no other person had any right whatever to use my name as he did. Itis hardly likely that iny friends will poll their votes for me on Wednesday, when they know I am-out of the field ; if they do they will not becon- ferring any favor on me. > >

Six,— 1 would not trouble you with this letter but for the fact that a statementin a former letter of Mr. McRae’s, which egeap- ed my notice at the time is being used in the canvass against me, viz. : that® was convicted twice for breaches of the @ T. A.. and that l only stopped selling when threatened with a third offence.

This is a malicious untruth uttered for a malevolent purpose, and I connot conceive how any person laying claim to Christian- ity and good citizenship, could resort tosuch despicable tactics to uphold a cause which he claims to be a righteous one. I was cone victed once, as | said ina former letter— some four years ago—on my own confes- sion. Mr. McRae, when he penned. the fulaehood, should have known better, for in his position of City Councillor, he eculd have access to the records at any time.

I am afraid honest Samuel is being made a tool of by designing men, whose charact- ers are not above medeocrity, to forward their own selfish ends, under the cloak of ‘* Temperance.”

Mr. McRae’s proposition in reference to the destruction of liquors is too childish to merit serious consideration.

Very truly yours, Ewen Macpovaatt.

The Civic Election.

Srr,—Mr. Francis P. McCarron’s card tells the electors of Ward Two that if elect- ed he will do as well for their interests as he did in the past!

He must have peculiar views of what our interests are; and we shall tell him to- morrow by our yotes that we cannot trust our interests to one, who, before taking his seat in the Council, made a solemn oath to uphold the laws of the city, and then used all the ingenuity in him to evade and trample upon some of the most import- ant of them. It will be most unfortunate for this city and County if rum and perjury predominate.

change comes, and if weare clairvoyant, and numbers are, we shall perceive the most won- derful process of excarnation going on— the resurrection of a spirit—-we shall see attendants from the spheres of light and life who have come to minister to the needs of the occasion and to care for the excarnat- ing spirit—we shall see (asis often the case) some, who haveloved the arising spirit in their earth term—we shall see, as pillows of rest, the arms of heavenly ones under- posing their new sister-spirit, and we shall see, the triumphant ones retiring with their prize, the jewel that had escaped its setting of clay, and was then being borne away to glisten inthe upper spheres.

Sik,—Mr. Macdougall in his card dis- /plays a good deal of ingenuity to eatch ‘temperance votes. In his reference to the , Canada Temperance Act, he pledges him- |self to see that the temperance law is | Pespected equally with other laws. Blec- | tors, this was the reply, word for word, |made by the Stipendiaty some months ago to the Temperance Committee, who waited upon him to urge the Police todo their duty. You know what wasdone. Nothing. The Scott Act was dead. This* is the way Mr. Macdougall would see it observed.

Electors you will to-morrow have to vote the Scots Act over again. If you allow Mr. Maccdougall to be elected in Ward Four ‘you will undo what you did on the 21st November ; then the Prosecutor would be discharged, and no doubt the Canada Tem- perance Aet-would be carried out to Mr.

The Fire Reeord. The Iron Trede Review has been keep- ing a record of iron-working establishments visited by fire in the year 1886 and 1887.

| The latter year showed the greatest aggre-

gate of loss, though the former showed the greatest number of fires. Foundries and machine shops headed the list, the number of these burned last year was. 61 and the loss was $2,251,000 which is an increase of 55 per cent. over 1886. Here is the list:

Iron-working es- Num. Reported. Losses tablishments "87 86 1887. 1886. Agricultural and

hardware works 20 24 $558,675 $746,000 Blast furnaces... 4 3 67,000 42,000 Foundries. ...... 33 35 911,000 656,500 Machine shops . 28 31 1,340,000 794,200 Rolling mills.... 9 7 826,000 420,000 Steel works..... 4 4 216,486 224,000 Miscellaneous iron

workes...... 24 16 £831,400 534,000

Total,....,...115 120 $4,381.51" §3,417,500

The insurance, so far as reported, on the above establishments, foots up $1,608,37:2, as against $1,349.000 in 1886, an increase in 1887 of $259,372.

The fastest heat trotted in a race this year was won by a 56-year old, and the fastest debutante in the 2.30 list is a 3-year old. The horses referred to are Patron, 2.144, and Sable Wilkes, 2.18.
