One of the reasons is that many influen-

Why do we not, unitedly and

we make this sugye-tion : if they assist in the improvement agitation for the subway, it is quite possible that some— some- thing that they may deem reasonable — will

result ; whereas, if they remain quiescent,

and do nothing, it is more than probable that our communications with the mainland will continue tc be irregular and unsatis- factory ta the great and ccnf*nued loss of the whole people. United, we may get someth: ng—perhaps¢ more than is anti- crpated; divided we shall get nothing. Deo we intend to submit to the delays, losses anl annoyances of which we have Intely been the subjects? Certainly not. Then let us unite and agitate for a subway, or tunnel. :

Providence helps those who help them- selves. If we unite ina determined effort to obtain a subway, we shall, at all events, gain the sympathy aud support of the neighboring Maritime Provimees ; and it is clear that we cannot expect to win the consent of the Upper Provinces while we ourselves remain apathetic and divided.

The Lesson of the Yrade Returns.

‘“* These trade statistics are a valuable index of the trade relations of Canada, and mure perticuiarly of the province of Nova Scotia. Chey indicate that the commercial interests of the Demiuion are more cumpletely identi- fed wiih Great Beitain than with any other country in the world, by reason of the very guificant fact that Canada’s chief natura!

Military. Last evening No. 2 Battery, Garrison \rtillery, met for drill, This was the frst

meeting of the Battery since its late Cap- tain, F. S. Moore, Esq., received promotivn to the rank « f M wor v

In the ** Battery Order Book the late Captain bad inseribed the following as his “ Barewoll” to the officers and men with vshom he has lad such pleasant associations or 30 many years, and which was read to the Battery by the new Captain commanding, John A, Longworth, Esq. :

‘The Captain commanding having been honored by, promotion to the command of the Brigade, desires to express to the officers, non- commissioned officers and gunners of the Bat- ery, the regret he teels in severing his con- nection with them as their Captain.

‘He would also express to thera his high ap- preciation of the services rendered by them at all times to the Battery, the good attend- ance at voluntary drills, their ready and prompt obedience to every command, the good discipline maintained, and the esprit de corps which have resulted in placing the Battery in the proud position which it vcenpies to-day, as the most eflicient Battery in the Dominion ot Canada.

‘« The fact that the Battery hag taken for four years, in succession, the prize offered by the Governor-General of Canada to the most etiicient Battery, and that the Battery has also captared either fret or second prizes in every shifting ordnance competition since their organization, speak more forgibly than any words can express the high state of etliciency attained.

‘He would urge upon all ranks the necessity for continued devotion to duty, and would bespeak for his successor, Captain Longworth, the same ready assistance which has been so freely accorded to him.

“ F. S. Moore, Major, Late Captain Commanding No. 2 Battery, G. A.” Charlottetown, Nov. Ist, 1°87.

Captain Longworth may jastly be proud of the tine Battery he commands, and judg- ing by the. ‘‘ hearty cheers” he received from the officers and men last eveninz, we ihink they mean to * stand to their guns” as enthusiastically in the future as they have done in the past. We congratulate Major Moore on his deserved promotion. We aso congratulate Colonel Irving and his staff in having such an efficient officer as Major Moore promoted to the command of the Brigade, aad have no doubt but that our little Island will continue to the ** Banner Proyince ” in military matters.

He Died Away From Home.

We regret very much to learn that Mr. D. A. McLeod, chief. mate of the barque Lindeti. fell s victim of smallpox while in Cette, France, and passed away on the 9th January Jast. It will be satisfactory to his friends tu learn that he received the best possible attendance during his ulness and a Christian burial. Mr. McLeod was the youngest son of Mr. Michael McLeod, Lighthouse Keeper at Point Prim, who has our heartfelt sympathy.

Kev. Dr. Courtney a Bishop. A POPTLAR PREACHER, WHOM BOSTON DISLIKES TO LOSE.

(Boston Herald. )

It is to be regretted that Dr. Courtney is to leave Boston, for since he received the rectorship of St. Paul's Church, nearly six years ago, he has become one of the most highly esteemed of the clergy in this city. He is a native of Plymouth, Eng., and is 50 years old. He was educated in part at Christ's Hospital, first at the preparatory school at Hartford, then the biue-coat school in New- gate Street, London. After that he graduated in the firat elasa from King’s College, London, in 1X63, when Dr. Jelf, Dr. McCabe, Bishop Eliicott, Dean Pilumtree and Archdeacon Cheathant were professérs’ there, The lecree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred ‘on him by Racine College. e was ordained priest in 1365 by the Archbishop of Canter. bury. He was curate of Hudiow near Pem. bridge, Kent, from 1864 to 1865; incumbent of Charles Chapel, now St. Luke's, Ply- mouth, from 1365 te 1870; incumbent of St. Judes, Glasgow, Scotland, from 1870 to 1876, and assistant minister of St. Thomas Church, New York, of which Dr. Morgan is rector, from 1876 to 1880. He began his iabors with St. James’ Church in Chicago the first Sunday after Easter, 1880, and remained in that pastorate until March, 1882, when he accepted the call from St. Paul’s Church in this city.

In stature, Dr. Courteney is tall, erect and well formed. He has grayish blue eyes. His exst of mind is not one-sided, and yet it is logical, analytical and acute, rather than emo- tional, poetical or imaginative. In theology he describes himself as ‘* high, low and bread.” It ix sefficieutiy evident, however, that he has no doctrinal sympathy with ritualism, and that he is decidedly evangelical and spiritual in his views of the Christian religion. Asa

veacber, Dr. Courtenay in .many respects, at east, has very few nals in this country. His sermons are about 35 minutes

in length, he uses no manusoript or notes, and yet his discourses have a rhetorical finish which is ma*vellous. Ina whole sermon be will not hesitate for a word, nor use one in. felicitously. His diction is not florid, but Sopious and expressive, and includes a fair proportion of metaphors. His illustrations ; #e drewa mostly from scripture, and he seems to carry the very words of the whole Bible on his tongue’send, His delivery is generally ciim and deliberate, but oecasionally becomes unpassioned. His enunciation is distinct, and his emphasis always correct,

Lottery and Bazaar.

The lottery and bazaar in aid of the Miscouche Convent, which came off on Monday and Tuesday evenings, the 30th and Slst ult., was a great success—over two hundred dollars having been realized. For a swall place like Miscoughe, and at a time of the year when money is so Scarce, the result of the bazaar is very encouraging to the good ladies of the convent, and 4 very ‘tangible proof that their valuable services are appreciated by the parishioners of Miscouche. An election for the most popular man in the parish realized forty- two ($42) dollars. Mr. Gilbert Desroches, merchant, who was declared _the niust populer man, Was crowned King of the Smokers. Another election for the most amiable young lady realized, also bout thirty dollars (330); Miss Eleonore Gaudet, our orgaitist, carrying the day, and receiv- ing a pair of fancy slippers as a memento of the event. The great success of the election is due to the Rev. Father Doy ‘e's presence at the polls, on both evenings, coaxing in the votes most effectually.

Buried by au Avalanche. TWO DISTINGUISHED QUEBEC PRIESTS HAVE A NARROW ESCAPE.

A Quebec despatch, (Feb. 3.) gives the following particulars: ‘* Monsignor Hamel, rector of Laval University, and Abbe Be- vin, Principal cf the Normal School, left here to visit the late Bishop of Chicoutimi and had a very narrow escape of losing their lives, After leaving the terminus of the Lake St. Jchn Railway, and driving to Chicoutimi, they were caught in a great storm in descending a ravine aud were overwheimed by an avalanche of snow. Monsignor Harael was’ completely buried, and Begin had only his mouth and one hand above the mass of snow. The latter finally extricated htmself and succeeded in quickly disinterring Hamel; and the driver, who had .a leg broken, pushed on to the nearest house and obtained assist- ance to enable them to continue their jour- uvy to Chicoutimi,” lr “Hawkeyes” Advice to

And then, remember, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or pen, a wheelbaxrow or a set of booksy digging ditches <r editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work, If you look around you, fe will see that the mén who are most able} to live che rest of their days without work are the men that work the hardest.

Don't be afraid of killing yourself with work. It is beyond your power tu do that, Men cannot. work so hard as that on the suany side of thirty. They die sometimes, butit’s because they quit work at 6 P. M. and don't go home until 2 A. M. It’s the interval that kills.. Work gives an appe- tite for meals; if Jetids solidity to yout slumbers; it vives the appreciation of a holiday.

There are ycung men that do net work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not even know their names; it simply speaks of them as old So-and So's boys. _Nubody likes them, nobody hates them; the great, busy world doesn’t even know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, take off your coat and make a dust in the world. “The busier you ‘are the less deviltry you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your si¢ep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you, co ——-—-

Keep the Stables Light.

Dark stables are an abomination, and should .not be tolerated. There is no necessity to sacrifice comfort, either in Winter or saimmer, to secure enough light. A horse’s eyes are enlarged—the pupil of the eye is—by being kept ina dark stable; hehas a harness put on him and suddenly brought out into the bright, glaring sunlight, whieh cun- tracts the pupil so suddenly as to cause extreme pain. By -persovering in this very foolish and injudicious as well as cruel practice, the nerves of the eye be- come impaired, and if continued long enough, loss of sight will ensue. To see how very painful it is to face a bright light after having, been in the dark, take a walk some darke night for a short time, till the eye becomes ac- custumed to the darkness, then drop snddenly into some well lighted room and you will be scarcely able to see for a few moments in the sudden light. Yeu kuow how painful it is to yourself, then why have your horse repeated]y to bear such unnecessary. pain? A darke stable is invariably a damp one, and such stable we are not yet willing to put either a valuable working or driv- ing horse in. Give good ventilation Jet the sunzhine and the air have a chance to effect an enterance, and your stables will be purer and more healthy than if you take such pains to exclude them and the good influence they in- variably bring.

Royal Templars at Cavendish.

A public entertainment was given by Royal Templors of Temperance, in Caven- dish Hall, on the evening of the #6th inst., and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the building was crowded, The chair was occupied by Mr. Arthur Simpson,

him im an able and efficient manner.

The programme, which was very lengthy, consisted of dialogues, readings, recitations, speeches and. music, both vocal and iMstru- mental, The choir rendered some excel: lent music, and Clyde Council must be con- gratulated on claiming as members singers of such musical talent, The organ was pre- sided at by Miss Maggie L. Stevensun, of Ch’town, who has become noted in these parta as an organist, The speeches, which were short and to the point, clearly showed the enthusiasm possessed by the Royal Tem- plars of Temperance, as temperaned work- ers. From them we were able to learn what the chief object the Templars had in view in giving the entertainment was that of organizing a Council of Royal Templars, and we sincerely hope they will succeed in this project. The recitations, readings and dialogues were equally as well render- ed as the other parts of the pro-

rame, and go to show of what material Clyde Council is composed. The order was good throughout, aud not asingle part of t:e programme received the slightest inattention by the audierice. After a vote of thanks had been given the R. T. of T. for their trouble in giving the entertainment, a committee of three was appointed to take into consideration the organizing of a Council in Cavendish, and tu canvass for charter members. The fol- lowing gentlemen compose the committee : Merers. Charles Simpson, Walter Simpson and George R. McNeill, The meeting was then brought to a close by singing the Royal Templars’ ** Closing Ode,” all feel- ing that they had spent a most enjoyable evening.

it is not often really honest goods are offered at the prices we quote below. But the fact is we have a good many Doimans, Ulsiers, Jackets, Jerseys, Sacks and Reding- votes remaining, although our sales in this depariment have been very large, and we are now offering all that remains at extraordinary low prices to turn them into cash, before stock-taking. Ulsters worth up to $4, for $2; $8 for $5; Jackets worth $4.25 for $3; worth $7 for 85, and our whole stock at equally low prices.

These prices are certainly remarkable, but there is no questioning them---we guarantee them genuine. Call and secure first choice.
