to to have issued papers to us permitting ting in Behring Sea, if it was not legal. Why should the collector have issued them ? The general idk { sailors is that no custom will issue papers to any vessel to go

ind do anillegal act. Capt. H. B. Jones, of the American schooner Challenger, left Seattle on April 15 last, claring at Port lowhsend at*the custom house for a hunting al Walrus trip to the North Pacific and Artic ocean. He said: ‘‘I sailed up the coast, thirty or forty miles from shore, as far iorth as the Aleutian Islands. I have never fished for seals in Behring sea. ‘lLhere are two passages between the North Pacific ocean

ind the Behring sea at that point, one being through the Akum pass and the other through

the Unmak pass. The Akum pass being full of reefs and the Unmak pass comparatively safe. I chose the latter, intending to clear my vessel and take in supplies of

water. When anchored there I had not quite decided whether to come back in the Pacific ocean or to keep on north bound for the Arctic ocean, my destination. The charge

wainst me is of catching seals in Alaskan waters, thet is within three leagues of shore. Avyone who knows Akum pass would rather

go through Unmak pass, the Ak .m pass being full of reefs and the Unmak pass being rather

lean. Anyone that knows anything ot sval- ing is aware that such a cherge is ridiculous, ss we never look for seals within twenty tniles of shore. They are brought all the way from between 20 and 150 miles of land. Seals

picked up by our vessel were shot between Cape Flattery and Saunakh, situated forty

miles south and ist of Unimak Islands. All the territory lies within the North Pacific Ocean.” MarshalAtkins has been notified that the commander of the steamer Rush has

(lelivered into his custody 964 fur sealskins eized from the different prize vessels, the American schooner Challenger and the British schooner W. P. Sayward and the Anna Beck. The above-mentioned sealskins were packed and salted in a kinch in one of the Alaska Commercial Company's warehouses, awaiting further instructions from the marshal, The Anna Beck har been dismantled and a com- plete inventory taken of everything on board.

St. John has in the past ten pears ex- pended in the erection of buildings $7,128,- 095. When we consider this fact we may cease to wonder that money is ‘‘a little tight” there just now. We agree with the Saturday Gazette that the city must indeed have been ona sound financial basis to

The Nuptial Tie.

Tue unclouded sun of this auspicious morning witnessed the nuptials of Donald Montgomery, Esquire., Chief Superin-

tendent of Education, and Miss Mary Isabel McPhail. The marnage ceremony Was performed by the

Rev. James Carruthers, assisted by the Rev. Donald MeNeill, of this city, and the

| Rev. Principal Forrest, of Dalhousie Col-

lece, Halifax. The bridesmaids were Miss MeNeill and Miss Jeanetta Mc-

| Phail, and the groomsmen Mr. William

McPhail and W, 8S. Stewart, Esq. The service in the Church was exceedingly in- teresting to the large and sympathetic con- eregation present to witness the tying of

the knot which binds two willing hearts ind to invoke a blessing upon the happy pair. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were

accompanied to the Railway Station by a large number of friends, and, after receiv- ing warm congratulations, took passage on a wedding trip to the Upper Provinces and the United States. Tar EXAMINER pre- sents its compliments and heartily wishes Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery a long, pros- perous and happy career.

The Military Excursion.

Tue military excursion to Souris and East Point yesterday was very enjoyable. Some three hundred and sixty peopie attended. The weather was all that could be desired. About seven o'clock the St. Lawrence, gaily decorated with bunting, left Steam Navigation Co’s. wharf for Souris — the trip to Georgetown being abandoned, owing to lack of time. The run to Souris was exceedingly pleasant. At about half-past two the excursionists were landed, being given half an hour to ‘‘do” the village, or, if they felt so disposed, the privilege of remaining there until the return of the steamer from East Point. The greater portion of them elected to **stay over” and be called for on the return trip, and a goodly number of Sourians took their places for the run to East Point. Those who remained off at Souris hada good time, as had also those who proceeded to the Point. About seven o'clock the St. Lawrence called again for her living freight, and after a brief wait took her departure for Charlottetown, arriving shortly before three o'clock this morning.

The whole affair was exceedingly pleas- ant. The number who attended was, how- ever, not as large as was expected. The sail was thoroughly enjoyed, and the scenery along the coast was much admired.

Musi¢ was furnished at intervals by the Band of the 82nd Battalion, and Piper- Major ald Macdonald,of Hunter River, with hicliibeplves, Which, to use his own language, ‘‘ were not loud but sweet. ” Donald was the lion of the day. His music was the si{pject of much comment-—favor- able and §therwise. Some wags tried to shut himfoff, by, as he himself expressed it, “‘ interfering with his drone,’ but he turned u them and in expressive, if not elegant laiuage, gave them to understand that they @ved their escape from instant decapitation to the fact of his being a military man, and as such ‘* bound to keep the peace !”

On the return trip Donald also sustained his reputation. About midnight the boys hunted him and his pipes out, and from that time until the arrival at the wharf in Charlottetown the strains of ‘Ghillie Callum,” ‘‘Johnny Cope,” ete., rent the air, and made those who were endeavoring to snatch a few hours sleep sigh for ‘‘just one grip” at Donald’s drone.

The committee deserve every credit for their management of the affair. They gave what, without doubt, must be considered one of the cheapest and best excursions ever given on the Island, and it is a matter for regret that more people did not take advantage thereof. The officers of the steamer also deserve a few words of praise for their attention to the excur- sionists.

W. H. Parrer, salesman for Easterbrook & Eaton, Boston, writes : ‘It gives me plea- sure to say thas Adamson’s Botanic Balsam cured me of a severe cold, to which I had been subject, especially during the winter months, and I have in many instances recommended it

Few great Englishmen are deemed more thoroughly English than the Rev. Sydney Smith, and yet that wittiest of parsons was halfa Frenchman. His mother was an Olier, perhaps of the same race as the founder of St. Sulpice.

People interested in breach of promise suits will find a point in the example of Mrs. Childs, an English widow with nine children, whe, when she accepted a candi- date for the position of second husband, made an entry of the fact in her diary and had her lover sign it. Her thoughtfulness stood her in hand to the amount of £200 damages on trial of the suit she brought when the lover proved untrue.

General Boulanger’s challenge of M. Ferry has once more directed discussion to the subject of of duelling. Its decline in England may reasonably be associated with the change of manners which made exces- sive drinking no longer permissable in society. It is, however, by no means so long since the practice was In vogue, as we are sometimes tempted to fancy. Men who are not very old may recall challenges given and taken and meetings arranged in this city. One such case belongs to the history of Montreal journalism. The tragic event in which Robert Sweeney, the poet, was concerned was referred to in this column last spring. ‘Three fatal encoun- ters took place in Toronto in 1809, 1806 and 1828, respectively.— Montreal Star.

A few more bye-elections in England with results such as have marked those held within the past two months, will compel Lord Salisbury to follow the warning he uttered a few days ago by action and bring on a dissolution. There is now little reason to doubt that the sentiment of the voters is turning toward Gladstone. With one exception of St. Austell, each of the side contests have shown the same result, a decline in the Conservative and an in- crease of the Liberal vote. The constituen- cies have been fairly representative of the different divisions of the population, and the natural inference is that an appeal to the whole electorate would greatly reduce, is did not destroy, the majority of the coali- tion that makes a Conservative Cabinet possible. This is the feeling that evidently prevails in England, and it must have no small effect in embarrassing the Ministry.

A very common mistake made by the people in general who are outside the diplomatic circle, says Tid Bits, is to call all those who represent Britain at other capitals ‘‘ambessadors.” Now the Crown of Britain—for ambassadors represent in diplomatic eyes the actual person of the Sovereigu—only recognizes a very limited number of ambassadors properly so styled in its service. The *tAmbassador and Minister Plenipotentiary” is the highest representative in rank of the kingdom abroad. He is head of an ‘“‘embassy.”” His second in command is ‘‘Secretary of Am- bassy.” Of these ambassadors there are only six representing England abroad. The six great Powers entitled to receive tem are France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Rus- sia and Turkey. The salaries of these great officials range from £10,000 to £7,000, the british Ambassador at Paris receiving the highest sum, and _ hold- ing, as may be guessed, the most coveted post in the diplomatic service abroad. Aiter Ambassadors come ‘* Ministers,” who, at very varied salaries, represent Britain with all the smaller powers; but it is a curious instance of the system that to the United States Britain sends, not a British Ambas- sador, but ‘* Minister.” Ministers rule ‘* Legations,” as Ambassadors do Embas- sies. ‘Their seconds in command are ‘‘ Sec- retaries of Legation.” The full and formal title of Minister is ** Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary,” and to most of the smaller states of Europe and else- where, Britain sends them; probably the very antipodes of office being the Embassy at Paris and the Legation at Pekin. To some of the small places, however, as the little German duchies, and so on, a third official is sent, called a Charge d’ Affaires.

——— a, + <i Ontario’s Harvest.

The harvest this year, says the Monetary Times,isan unusually early one. Itis not easy tosay, as yet, what its result will be. Upto early July or thereabout, the promise of grain was exceptionally good, but the long continued drought and the hot,ldry, scorch- ing weather has proved ruinous in many districts. Spring wheat in Ontario, which was *‘in the milk” when the drought was severe, is badly shrunken, in some places a failure. The fall wheat has fared better, but is injured and its yield lessened by rea- son of the lack of rain. Some counties have sent good accounts of their farm products. The farmers up in Grey county, for example, where mere rain has fullen then at the south of them, are, we are told, in the midst of one of the earliest and generally one of the best harvests they have had for years. And from several points in the western part of the peninsula we have seen samples of good fall wheat. With respect to barley, we hear that in some sections, tapped by the Midland rrilway and in other eastern parts of the province the crop isa good one. North of Toronto the sample is poor and in the west there are many complaints of a shrunken berry. Oats and peas are likely to prove alight crop. Roots must suffer from the present lack of rain. As to hay, there is little doubt that it isa large crop and well saved. Pasture land in tario is at the present time simply drying up or burning up and cattle are suffering greatly for lack of water. The demand for mill feed is large and in some cases farmers are feeding hay to their cattle.
