A year and a half have rolled away ; and |
the Dairy Examiner still lives. }
Indeed it may now be truly said that the |
Dairy Examiner is one of the ‘ institu- | tions” of the Province.
An appetite for a daily paper has been
‘formed; and, judging by the increasing sales
of the Dairy Examiner in the city, along
the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people could live without their daily paper.
Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Dairy Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.
Throrghout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Datry Examiner, a daily telegra:n containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this grea crisis of its history.
Through the Darty Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother
ountry.
We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Darty Examt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.
The local news shall be given through the Dany Examiner promptly, truly and’ as full as possible.
For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Damy Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.
The original subscribers of the Datty EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.
The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Dairy Examiner would do well to subscribe now.
In connection with the Darty EXAMINER the Weekty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

Thanksgiving Hymn.
BY HON. JOSEPH HOWE,
Almighty Father! at Thy Throne, A grateful people kneel ;
i‘ather of mercies, Thou alone Can’st compass what we feel.
We thank Thee for the pleasant land In which our lots are cast,
The guidance of thy ardent hand, Through all its perils past.
We thank the for the forms that guard The liberties we prize;
lor every cherished old churchyard, Where rests the good and wise.
We thank Thee for the Altar’s free, The courts without a stain,
Phe glowing page of history, ‘he Bard’s heroic strain,
The Martyr’s death —the Prophet’s fire, The Christian soldier’s sword :
But chietly let our hearts aspire, ‘Yo thank Thee for Thy Word,
Aad for the hallowed life and death,
Of Hin to guide us given,
The hopes that hang upon his breath,
‘The promised rest in heaven.
> 2: <P +s 2 A NEW CABLE. The London correspondent of the Heraid writes :
Another attempt is to be made to lessen the cost of cable telegrams across the Atlantic. M. Pouyer-Quertier, a wealthy French manu- facturer, and who was Minister of Finance for a short time, has obtained a concession from the French Government for a new Atlantic cable. It is proposed to make it much lighter than the present ones, and thereby to lessen the outlay both in manufacturing and laying it. But what the projected company look for- ward to as their chief advantage is the adop- tion of a new system of telegraphing. An Italian has discovered a means of sending more words through a long cable in a given time than can be done by any existing method. He holds that by his plan it will be possible te use the Hughes printing apparatus, the result being to obviate many of the blunders made by the system in use. Indeed, the scheme promises well; but so did the Direct Cable Company, which, as is to» well known, has not cheapened Atlantic telegrams.

The Czar is physically in perfectly good health, but the disease of the Romanofis is again visiting with its dire Nemesis the Ruler of all the Russias. He dreads going outside his palace, lest the assassin’s builet should lay him low. His illness is wholly mental. He is subject to extreme depression of spirits, and passes hours apparently unconscious of what is passing around him, wrapt in his own thoughts. With an effort he seems able to recall his faculties, but soon displays great irritability and impatience with those who come to trans- act business with him. His doctors urge upon him the need of complete rest and absence from anxiety—remedies they are helpless to dispense.

The Monetury Times says: ‘‘Some English newspapers assume that the arrival in Canada of anew Governor General could have some influence on the tariff policy of this country ; and write as if it were his duty to act as medi- ator between the Imperial policy and that of Canada. Politically, a recent Governor Gen- eral used jocosely to describe himself as a fig ure nine with the tail cut off, and the jest sufficiently described the fact for all practical purposes. The Governor General is not a cipher, but he is not a political foree. There ig no reason to fear that the Marquis of Lorne has been sent here in the spirit in which Philip If. of Spain sent Albert and Isabella to the Netherlands, with the intention, after- wards carried out, of bestowing cn them the sovereignty of the country. Whatever may be the strength of the ‘ Imperial idea,’ Canada will not be chosen for the field of its tentative application. Canada is a constitutional coun- try, and will remain so; the policy on the tariff or any other question, deliberately de- cided upon by her people, will be carried into effect. A return tothe policy of Lord Met- ealfe is as impossible as it would be tu put back the clock of time thirty years,”

The amount of literary work which Mr. Gladstone manages to accomplish, without ap- parently interfering with his varied™local and political duties, is something extraordinary. Nor is the extent of the field in the tilling of all parts of which he seems perfectly at home less remarkable. A _ distinguished French ecclesiastic lately contributed by request, pro- bably an article to the Contemporary Review on the subject indicated in the interrogation, ‘* What hinders the Ritualists from becoming Roman Catholics?’ After an almost incred- ibly brief lapse of time, Mr. Gladstone comes out in the same periodical with an answer to the question and the arguments of Abbe Martin under the heading, ‘‘The Sixteenth Century arraigned before the Nineteenth,” in which he gives very good reasons (from the Anglican standpoint) for the Ritualists remain- ing where they are. In this article Mr. Glad- stone shows an amount of ecclesiastical know- ledge which would not disgrace a Bishop, and a degree of literary, historical and general culture which would do honour to some special- ists in any of these departments. This variety of attainment constitutes what has hitherto been the chief point of distinction between British and cis-Atlantic statesmen.

In the Pro- vince of Rio de Janeiro, where there are 590,- 000 slaves, the number of their children born free since September 28, 1871, is 62,000, of whom 18,300 have died. There should now

Orrawa, Dec. 3. Mr. ©. H. Mackintosh, the editor of the | “Citizen,” entertained the press correspond- ents to dinner.at the Russell House. Hon. Wm. McDougall, M. P. for Halton, and others, were also present
The concert given by the St. Andrew’s So- ciety, in the Academy, is crowded to excess. Addresses were delivered by Sir John and other prominent men. Members of National Societies are seated on the platform, The Governor General and suite attended the Senate Chamber at 3. o'clock this afternoon, and were presented with addresses from the following bodies :—The City of Toronto, the City of Hamilton, the Hamilton Board of Trade, the Iriquois Indians, the Mohawk Grand Council, the St. Andrew’s and Cale- donian Societies of Ontario, the St. Andrew’s Society of Ottawa, the St. George’s Society of Ottawa, the St. Jean Baptiste Society of Ottawa, the Si. Patrick’s Literary Associa- tion, the Ottawa Institute Canadiene Francais, the Methodist Church, of Canada, and the City of Kingston.
The Indian addresses created general in- terest. Oronhyatekha was attired in the full costume of a Mohawk Indian Chief.
The deputation of Tyendinaga Indians pres- ented the Governor General with the cap worn by Tyendinaga Chief when leading In- diavs from the United Stntes to Canada in 1777. The Governor General’s appearance as well as his replies created a favorable im- pression in the crowded galleries. The formal reception and illumination takes place to- morrow. Several press correspondents have left for home.

An exchange says: During the last three years about $3,100,000 have been collected for charitable purposes by the Mayors of London. In 1876 the sum realized was about $190,000; in 1877 the Indian famine fund helped to swell the total to nearly $2,475,000; this year the figures are about $425,000.”

THe temperance people cannot count much on Bismarck as an ally in their cause. On a recent occasion he said :— ‘* Beer makes people stupid, lazy and im- pertinent. It is the cause of the Social Democratic pot-sprinkling, which is all con- cocted over a mug of beer. Good corn- brandy is infinitely preferable.”
Tue Duke of Sutherland will probably lose $5,000,000 by the Glasgow Bank fail- ure. How foolish a man is to deposit so munch money in one bank. He should dis- tribute his wealth among a dozen hanks. If two-thirds of all the banks in this coun- try were to fail, we don’t suppose our loss would amount to one-half as much as the Dike’s.— Norristown Herald.
When Franklin was ambassador to France, being at a meeting of a literary society and not well understanding French when de- claimed, determined to applaud when he saw a lady friend express approval. When they had ceased, a little child who understood French said to Franklin, ‘‘Why, you always applauded most when they were praising you!” Franklin laughed heartily, and éxplained his dilemma.
The Ottawa ree Press. said some days ago that it would cost $7,500 to equip the new dragoons ai the capital. A St. John paper then said the cost would be $75,000, and the Prince Edward Island Patriot fol- lows, saying it will exceed $750,000, or ‘““louble the annual cost of the Mounted Police.” The Free Press now withdraws its original announcement as being incor- rect. This is how public opinion is manue factured in this great country.— Mail.
