- ns Rouge, Sept. Ist, 1879.

ea gue. Se ee as

‘The Hon. Mr. Langevin has succeeded Sir George Cartier as the leader of the French Canadian seetion of the Dominion, and England has seen and recognized, once more the ability and perseverence of the Cenadian race. A Governor can no more, by that figure ef speech which it is well to call a lapsus lingua, brand the race as in- ferior.

n financial circles Sir John Rose worth- ily represents Canada at the British capital. In case of need the diplomatic help of this eminent financier can well sustain Canadian honor and credit. Neither of these is at a discount. In fact, successive administra- tions have obtained such loans as were de- sired. Quite recently Sir Leonard Tilley has at least equalled preceding ministers in this respect. The facility with which he has won a great financial victory, bears witness to his diplomatic skill and the soundness of Canadian credit.

Canadian youth are not less distinguished. Mr. Sidney Hunton, of Ottawa, has just won the Gilchrist scholarship and taken the highest honors in mathematics, at the Lon- don University. Norin the warlikeartis Can- ada behind the world. Col. Gibson has com- peted successfully for the Prince of Wales’ prize of $500 at Wimbledon. Col. Elliot, aon of the late Major J. F. Elliot, of Wind- sor, Ontario, has merited the cross of St. Michael and St. George. Major Rebinson, son of the late distinguished Chief Justice, Sir John Beverly Robinson, and Col. Jarvis,

_&. M. G., formerly Deputy Adjutant Gen- eral of Militia at Kingston, are highly hon- ored in England. Whatshall we say of the many brave Canadians who have distin- guished themselves in that disastrous African war! History will not allow their yalorous deeds to be forgotten.

Canada is no less loyal than her sons are brave. It cannot be overlooked that when there was danger of war with the great Northern Powers which threatened Eurepean eivilization, she generously offered a con- tinvent of ten thousand men in aid of the Imperial cause. This, if occasion had re- quired, would have been more than mere show and promise, as is well shown by the eonduct of the Canadian regiment which has so long marched side by side with the best of Liritish troops.

As regards the arts of peace Canada right nobly holds her own, as was 80 grandly proved at the splendid Parisian exhibition as well as at the great Centennial display in Philadelphia. Her trade and enterprise are no less remarkable. Her mercantile navy ranks as the third among the nations that go down to the sea in ships. Thatsuch a people should possess a skilled and hardy race of seamen is not to be wondered at. Nor that among these should be found one who is indeed the prince of oarsmen.

Canadian made machines are well spcken of in Australia. The Free Press, an Auslralian paper, in along review, says :—

All American reaping machines are not manufactured in the United States, as was popularly supposed by farmers some years ago. The IX Combined Reaper and Mower isu Canadian implement, first brought to Australia and shown at the Intercolonial Exhibition, Sydney, 1877, by Mr. William

Fieming, who, by the way, has since settled | in SyCney as an importer of agricultural |

im) lements, at the Canada Depot, Clarence street. its excellence as an agricultural imjlement has been demonstrated in the! cornfields and hay paddocks of New South! Wales; and there are those who do not! hesitate tosay that it includes the main’ feature of the invention of the Rev. Pat-| rick Bell. | i ————— sebbbi

Jae Maritime Journal states that Peter’s | Combination Lock Company is establishing a factory at Moncton, N. B., with a capital

of 200,000. The company intend to manu-| facture locks of every variety, as well as)

brass goods and ali kinds of builder's hard- ware. It absorbs a concern of the same name hitherto doing business at Westbury, Connecticut.

; £ —— 4 Venhots Weather Predistions: ertim se

Henry G. Venicor writes te a Montreal paper regArding the weather. The letter will be read with interest on account of the important predictions which it contains. Mr. Vennor looks for a protracted summer, which is agreeable information for the gen- eral public just now, and especially for the working classes who derive employment from out-door work. He is also of the opinion that we shall not have genmne winter weather until late, but he is not hopeful that the delay will modify its sever- ity or shorten its length. His views on these latter points somewhat blunt the edge of his earlier prediction. We quote his letter entire :—

Sre:—Thereare no indications of autumn lin this section of the country. ‘The woods are | still of a fresh and beautiful green, but few of } our birds have left, and several species of | these are raising their third clutch. Asecond ledition of mosquitoes and black flies have ap- peared, the sand midges are as hard at work iin their attempts to make us miserable as ever. 'The general weather is warm, hazy and ‘balmy, although the nights are occasionally pretty sharp. A great deal of grain is out vet, and much has yet to ripen. Altogether it looks as if our summer seasou was to be pro- tracted, and as if winter was to be, as it were, ‘* shoved off,” or out a little of its usual po- sition. The rivers and smaller streams are low, and still falling, notwithstanding the wet summer, and, as there is no chance of these

set in with low water everywhere. ‘The ap- proaching winter of 1879-80, though still dis- tant, loeked as though the weather-glass of sast experience, appears formiable. They are well detined in lications of severity and lengthy duration when it does set 1n, but the outline presented to me just now depicts the heaviest snow falls as characterizing chiefly the latter

The Smith-Morris Race.

Tis single scull contest takes place on

,

Bedford-Basin, Halifax, on Tuesday next. The Halifax Herald says:—

** The interest in the Smith-Morris race, on Bedford Basin, on Tuesday, is increas- ing. Itisfelt on all sides that this race will test Smith’s powers to the utmost, as Morris is undoubtedly a ‘‘ hard man te veat.” The race at Silver Lake, it will be remembered, was won by Smith by only half a boat length. Since then Morris has greatly improved, and will probably be in better condition for this race than he has ever been in any previous one. Both men are practising—going over the course two or three times a day. Both men are in excellent form, but those who witnessed the race on Silver Lake declare that a great improvement is notable in Morris’ stroke. Morris is geting well acquainted with the course, likes it very much and, it is under- stood, has every confidence in his ability to wit. Smith, also, is putting in some fine rowing. He is somewhat better of the severe cold caught while waiting on the float while the stake boats were being fixed during the late race. As far as we can judge, Morris is a far superior man to Wallace Ross, and the contest on Tuesday will undoubtedly be a very close and most exciting one. And it may be as well to state that the best informed of Smith’s backers strongly advise their friends not to risk any money on him. It is sincerely hoped that the water will be in good con. dition, and that the race will come off on the day appointed. There will probably be a much larger number present on Tuesday than witnessed the last race, especially from the country.

A curious fact has just come to light in regard to the prosperity of the iron trade in the United States. In negotiating for the iron work on the extension of the new State, War and Navy department building

‘in Washington, the officers in charge of

the work, instead of advertising fer bids, addressed circular letters to the prominent iron manufacturers and contractors, re- questing them to submit estimates for the iron work. The replies demonstrated the remarkable fact that the majority of the contractors declined to bid for the work on seaent of the large number of orders

Canavian Mave Nots.—We understand that Mr. George Waring, late of the firm of Waring Bros., Indiantown, is adding to his foundry the necessary machinery for making square, hexagon and other nuts for bolts, and expects to be making these goods in a few weeks hence. The machinery has been pur- chased from the American Bolt Works, of Lowell, Mass., and is understood to be first class in all respects. The new tariff favors the manufacture of these nuts, and Mr. War- ing’s enterprise is likely to be well rewarded, — Sun.

A TELEGRAM received in St. John, N. B., on Thursday reports the barkentine Jane Wright went ashore at Cape Wolf, P. E. Island. She was full of water and there was little hopes of getting her off. TheJane Wright was built on the Straight Shore in October, 1872, registered 419 tons, and was fermerly owned by Mr. Charles Nevins of Portland, but has lately been managed by Nevins, Walsh & Co., of Liverpool, G. B. She cleared at Richibucto on the 5th inst. with a cargo of deals for Barrow.

_ :

Mr. Tuomas Wuire, M. P., has written to the Montreal Gazette that the reports regarding the prospects of difficulties with the Indians have been greatly exaggerated, if not purely sensational. He says they are perfectly quiet, and there are no visible signs of disturbance. This is gratifying information, and will set at rest the fears of those who looked forward to the prospect of trouble and perhaps national embroilment,
