Governor-General's speech will be found in } ; anotner coiumn His Excellency has good reason for con

The speech breathes the which _ still

and progress, combined with prudence, economy and confidence in the destiny of our country, are the grand principles by which Liberal-Conservatives are guided ; and these principies are set forth in the Spee h.

To assist, as far-as a may,
in the extension of trade and commerce, the Administration of Sir John Macdonald have decided that a department of trade shall be established,
and that several other departments shall be
and commerce
reorganized in order that the department may be maintained without materially add- Several]
ing to the public expenditures.
other important measures to provide for the better administration of affairs are promised; but the only new public work spoken of is acanal to connect the waters of Lake Huron and Lake Superior. .
Perhaps the most satisfactory paragraph in the speech is that in which the hope is expressed that the negotiations in progress with the United States, may result in an honorable and satisfactory arrangement of the Fishery difficulty.
The House of Commons has chosen as its speaker a gentleman who can_ hardly fail to command the confidence and respect of beth parties. He has been in the House every year since 1873,and while still a young man (under forty) he is an experienced Parliamentarian. His family is one of the oldest and most highly respected in Mon- public-spirited and intellectually and politically he is a man eminently well quali- tied for the distinguished position to which he has been promoted.

‘**Wazptace’s YearR Boox ’’—received a few days since—contains a very able intro- ductory article entitled ‘* Some Deductions from the Great Table of Trottera under their Sires fhe article is signed by the letter ‘‘L’’—the signature of Mr. L. E. McLeod, (formerly of the Journal office) who under the favorable conditions afforded in the States has developed into one of the foremost writers on the horse. Mr. Mc- Leod says :
‘Opportunity will not make a great horse of a failure, and a great and potent sire will assert himself in spite of adverse conditions.
Safe theories or safe practices can never be grounded on conjectures. When we wander off into the ‘‘ifs” and ‘‘howevers” we are get ting spe ulation mixed up with fact, and our reasoning is placed in dangerous juxtaposition to mere supposition. We must form our con- clusions from the facts; we cannot safely go be hind pne records and tne lessons they teach,
and the horse or the theory that cannot stand by the records had better fall.”
‘The truth that stands out on every page of the great work is plain and clear. There is nothing msterious or inexplicable, or supersensible about the teachings of the re- corded history of the trotter; they are so plain that no man whose mind is clear of the cobwebs of prejudice and ancient fallacy can fail to grasp their meaning. We see on svery page full exemplitication of the natural truth that like comes of like and kind of kind. The greatest trotters are those bred to trot, and the greatest producers of trotters are the trot- ting ones of pure and pronounced trotting-in- heritance.”
Mr. McLeod giv es the following Table showing the standing of the ten greatest
sires, as demonstrated by performera des- cended from them in the first and second
yeneration, and the producing sires and dams to their credit.

Death of John Corbett, Esq.
A private despatch from Ottawa an nounces the death at that. place, yesterday, of John Corbett, Esq., Architect, well and favorably known in this city. The des- patch did not explain the nature or dura- tion of his illness. Mr. Corbett, who was sbout sixty years of age, was a native of Ireland. whence he emigrated to Memram- wok, N. B. In 1866 he came from Mem- ramecook to this Island,and resided in this city until his appointment, some seven or eight vears ago, to the position of Inspector of Lichthouses for the district of St. Cath- erines, Ont., when he left for Ottawa, where he resided up to the time of his death. Asan architect he superintended the construction of the Bishop’s Palace, St. Patr.ck’s School, the Convent de Notre Dame, as well as several private residences in this city. He also superintended the construction of the Summerside Jail and other buildings in Prince County. He leaves a wife, daughter and four sons to mourn their loss. One of the sons—Rev. John Corbett—is parish priest at Montague Cross. We extend our sympathy.

The American Magazine.
Tue latest development of magazine lit- erature is the American Magazine, successor to the Brooklyn Maguzine. The first num- ber of the American--the number for May —is at hand. illustrated, and in point o! very favorably with magazines of the first class.
A portrait of Francis Parkman, by F. P. Vinton, in possession “of the .St. Botolph Club, Boston, is reproduced as the frontis- piece. Professor Van Buren Denslow, late of the chair of law at Chicago University, contributes a sprightly illustrated article, entitled ““The Raquette in '55,” describing some unique experiences in the Adiron- dacks before that region had become 2 camping-ground for pleasure-seekers. The opening chapters of ‘Olivia Delaplaine,” by Edgar Faweett, give promise of a serial story of our modern Knickerbockers, fully equal in strength and careful detail to any of that author's previous works, A conclusive answer to the communist theory that all land should be the property of the State and not of individuals, is pre- sented in a powerful article entitled, ‘‘[s it acrime toown Land?’ by John Philip Phillips, the author of ‘** Social Struggles. ” The United States Senate has furnished material to Z. L. White, formerly Wash- ington correspondent of The New York Tri- bune, for a number of interesting sketches of Senators, with engraved partraits.
The social life of literary men in Boston is pleasantly described by Wm. H. Rideing editor of The Youth's Companion. This article is lavishly illustrated with likenesses of authors and representations of their favorite resorts.
General Grant’s habits.as to the use of wine and spirits are exactly stated, from trustworthy and personal knowledge, by the Rev. Dr. John P. Newman, who had an intimate acquaintance with the General, and was his spiritual adviser in his last illness. Rose Eytinge, the actress, con- tributes some personal experiences of re- markable meetings with friends whom she supposed to be on the other side of the world. There are two finished stories in this number ; the scene of one, by the Rev. /C. Van Norden, is laid in the West Indies; of the other, by J. G. Preston, in the ;mountains of Virginia. Earnest Whitney, Ey F, Lintaber, Bessie Chan« dier and others, contribute poems. Under the head of ‘Our Ancestor and Ourselves,” a description is given of the circumstances under which the earliest American Magazine was published in 1741, with fac-simile of the title-page and quaint extracts from the prospectus of that ancient publication. A supplement contains several short essays, chiefly on methods of Chris- tian usefulness, by American divines, among whom are the Revs, O. H. Tiffany, David Swing, W. W. Washburn, and
Leonard W. Bacon ; letters to the editor, ,;in this case is that the Legislature fairly under the heading of ** Timely Topics,” and | represent the sound mind and heart of of humorous anecdotes, | Nova Scotia.

Sunday Observance.
Havine published Archbishop O’Brien’s letter on Sunday observance, we now give, by request, the reply of the Presbyterian Witness in order that readers of Tne Exa- MINER may see both sides of the arguinent :
“Of hats, gentlemen af the House of As- sembly! Bow the knee. Tumble the Sunday Bil] out at the window, inte the muddy street. It is scorned and condemn- ed by ‘*+ Cornelius O’Brien, Abp.” ‘Further legislation is not required” is the authoritative intimation from St. Mary's Cathedral. There isan end to debate.
But with infinite deference to the gea- tleman who writes with the ex cathedra air from St. Mary’s we havea few points to urge in behalt of the Lord’s Day. Abp. O’Brien’s motives in deigning to declare his will we do not impugn; but his logic and his theclogy are not up to the mark. He tells us, for example, that the Ten Commandments remained after the Jewish law ceased to be binding. This is right. But then one of the Ten is the Fourth, and that Commandment preserves the Sabbath Day, or it does nothing. Yet Abp. O’Brien declares that the Sabbath has ceased to be binding. He thought to quali- fy his statement to this extent, viz., that the Sabbath, in so far as it was a Jewish and ceremonial institution, has ceased to be binding, and to that extent only, | But the most remarkable statement to be made by a man who has any knowledge of the Gospel is this : a
“Tothe gospel, and notto the old testament are we to look for the Sunday law. Our Lor
plainly teaches us that, since he so often, of a set purpose, broke, so to speak, the Sabbath.”
Our Lord never broke the ‘‘ Sabbath law.” Never once! He fulfilled the whole law. He fulfilled all righteousness. The Archbishop *‘ so to speak,” ought to know a little better than to make 4 statement so raw andsofeolish. Whatthe Lord broke were the absurdities and glosses and traditions of the Pharisees, those ancient humbugs who while they feasted pretended to fast, who tithed mint and anise while they trampled on the essentials of God's law,
'who were adepts in forms and ceremonies
It is beautifully printed and | and
y I style compares | narrow-minded bigots who claimed to have \the only true faith, while they were deep
| Their interpretations and perversions of the
making proselytes,—conceited and
in cruelty, falsehood and crime. Jesus scorned their bigotry and narrowness.
Law He disowned ; But the Law itself He magnified and fulfilled to the utmost. Christ preferred dying to breaking any law of God. We might excuse a Jew in his ‘*‘ pupa” state for making the assertion we have quoted from the Abp. ; but we hoped his Grace had passed through the cocoon, pupa and even chrysalis stages (of which he speaks so beautifully) and become an experienced butterfly. The very best excuse we can make forhim is that he is still, to adopt his own words, a ‘* pupa” or chrysalis Archbishop. But let no one, be he a ** pupa” or *‘ chrysalis,” a ** cocoon” or even a full blown butterfly Archbishop, venture to arraign our Lord as a _ law- breaker. Leave that to blaspheming Jews and to not over sensitive infidels of the Ingersoll type.
This head of the Roman Catholic Church in Halifax comes bravely out in favor of ‘riding, boating, running and ball-playing” on the Lord’s Day. Of course he is in favor of the street cars running on that day, and sees no more harm in their doing so than in private carriages being used. He is consistent enough in standing by the street cars while he would have boating, em racing and ball-playing on the Lord’s
ay. “
As to private carriages, the distinction is so obvious that only intellects in a ‘* pupa ” state need be confused about it. Tens of thousands drive to and from church every Lord’s Day without injury or offence to man or beast. There is in this not the slightest tendency to mar the Lord’s Day. But to run street cars all day from early morning till late at night, is to pursue a secular vocation for the purpose of making money. It is a vastly greater offence than the running of trains on the public rail- ways on the Lord’s Day.
It isa question here as elsewhere be- tween a Day of Rest anda Day of Labor. The countries that have madé Sunday a day of play such as the Abp. commends have made it a day of ceaseless toil.
Men ot Nova Scotia, you see now where you stand. You must calmly make your choice between a God-given Day of sacred
rest, and a day of boat-racing, ball-playing, | horse-racing,—a day of excursions by boat and rail,—a day of toil and riot and crime. _ You must make your choice between obey- ling the injunctions of Sacred Writ, and | following out the doctrines of Abp.
