capital out of the professional services of Messrs. L. H. Davies and E. J. Hodgson. The forrner he lauds; the latter he decrys. Mr. Davies has been retamed by the Pro- vineia!l and British .Governments; Mr. Hodgson by the Proprietors and His Lord- ship the Bishop of Charlottetown. Both, we have no} doubt, exerted, to the utmost, their professional abilities; and both, we have no doubt, were handsomely paid for their services. | We yield to Mr. Davies with cheerfulness the praise he, as a pro- fessional man, deserves ; and if he had not shirked his responsibilities to the Province we should find no fault at all. But we ob- ject to the ‘ Patriot’s” attempt to heap ob- loquy upon the head of Mr, E. J. Hodgson —a private practitioner—because he chose to do his best for the clients who retained him. Mr. Hodgson’s services were as neces- sary to ‘‘ justice in the premises” as those of Mr. Davies; and the ‘‘ Patriot’s” compar- isons to the disadvantage of a lawyer who has earned a foremost place at the Bar are invidious, uncalled for and unjust. —————

War Probabilities.

Tae Sultan has ordered out the last of his reserves, amounting to 500,000 men. Of these 165,000 are already equipped, and new recruits to the number of 61,000 have been obtained, making the total of these fresh levies 226,000 men. Recruits and re- serves turn out alike with enthusiasm. Meanwhile the Russians are not only pre- paring for the early fall of Plevna, but, ac- cording to a Vienna paper, organizing a new army of 150,000 men to cross the Balkans and take Adrianople. As to their future, the London ‘‘ Times,” which leans to the Czar’s fortunes, says: ‘* We have yet to see whether the Russians ean hold their po- sitions amid frost and snow. The English and French did so at Sabastopol, but they had made greater preparations than the Russians seem to be making, and neverthe- less the rigors of winter proved to be more fatal than the bullets of the enemy. Win- ter will help the Turks, for the reason the Russians are bending all their resources upon their last operations of the present campaign in Europe and Asia. The war is estimated to be costing them 1,000,000 roubles a day, and the drain upon the physical and financial resources of the em-

ire is appalling.” A million roubles equal = 50,000 a day; the loss of life cannot be repre- sented either in dollars or roubles,

A New Game.—lt is always pleasant to welcome any addition to the stock of winter amusements ; and when it is simple and easily learned, capable of including large or small parties, it is doubly welcome, As a chronicler of all things interesting or in- structive, it becomes a pleasing duty to rec- ord that, last evening, at the residence of one of our best known citizens, the modern game of cards called ‘Sancho Pedro Al- fonso” was introduced, and won by a young

account of it being an improper time to dismiss any official.

The motion. was then put to the Board and lost on a vote of 7 to 5.

His Worship said that when he came into office, he saw plainly that the whole system of carrying on the city business rotten and unworkable. He directed. his whole atten- tion to the remodelling of the system. At this he svas mioré earnestly engaged than at his own business. He saw that. their could be no step made in this direction, without the removal of the two clerks, who were misapproprating hundreds and hundreds of dollars of the city funds. This he asked, and it was done; and that department is now on a workable and’, satisfactory condition.

of the City Engineer, because he saw that that official was not necessary, and was en- tailing unnecessary expenditure of the rev- enue. He now asked for thedismissal of the City Engineer. He did, so because he saw, and was told by several Councillors, that the man was, by no means, capaljle of ful- filling the office; that he made false returns of the measurement’ of plankway, stood by and saw city property going to loss without} putting out a hand to save it, and allowed | planking to be distributed to different par- ties, without giving any account. His (the Mayor's) whole idea was to have some person who was capable of doing the busi- ness; who could be entrusted with the whole property and make prompt returns. leather cima French Literature.

Mr Dentor will deliver the second Lec- ture of his course on ‘ French Literature” (to-morrow) Friday evening, in the Y. M. C. A. Hall; and it is to be hoped thata better apperance will be put in, than on the oceasion of his Introductory Lecture, which might, and ought to have been, much more fully attended than it was. Those who stayed away missed a truly mtellectual treat. He gave a brief but comprehensive view of the afiivities of the family of languages—six in in number—of which French is one—imme- diately derived from the Latin ; and shewed by striking illustrations, how political cir- cumstances, geographical position and inter-
