NM R C.D, RANKIN, Chemist, North Side Queen Square, has the honor to announce 4¥i. tothe inhabitants of Prince Edward Island and neighborhood that he has made

MR. B. LAURANCE,

The Eminent English Oculists’ Optician,

: to personally superintend the adaptation of bis, SPECTACLES AND EYEGLASSES At C.D, Rankin’s Drug Store, North Side Queen Square, from Monday, the

18th, to Saturday, the 306th December,

And will be at the Clifton House, Summerside, from Nonday, the Ist, to

Thursday, the 4th January, To ail those requiring aid to _ vision. The hold that Laurance’s Lenses bave taken upon the spectacle-wearing public of Great Britain and the testimonials from the greatest of the English Oculists, among the faculty in England and in this Prov. ince, must be conclusive that nothing better in airis to vision can be obtained, and when in addition such Lenses are selected and adapted to the eye by Mr. Laurance personally, Mr. Rankin is convinced the acme of comfort will be obtained by every persoz requiring the use of Spectacles or Eye-glasses

Mr Laurance’s mode of procedure is to test the capabilities of both eyes, and not only to determine the exact power required for each eye, but also to select the particular Lenses best adapted to arrest decay and to give sight without discomfort. Mr. Laurance is noi a stranger to Prince Edward Island in his capacity as an Optician. For years he visited this Province, as testimonials from ( ur leading nedica] Men and citizens, as fat back as 1854, can testify. Mr, Laurance is one of the leading Opticians of Englaud, and his visit here is for one purpose, and that is the introduction of his celebrated Lenses throngh REGULARLY ACOREDITED AGENTS THROUGHOUT THE DUMINION.

Persons who have tried in vain to be suited with Lenses are particularly requested to call at C. 1, Rankin’s, and as MR LAURANCES VISIT CANNOT BE PROLONGED. BEYOND A FEW DAYS, it beboves those requiring his assistance to call as early as possible

REFERENCES AND TESTIMONIALS, as to the Quality of the Lenses, etc., are coupled with the names of the following eminent Medical men and residents of Nova Scotia :—

| CORRESPONDENCE.

We doa not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our corre spondents.

| | T'o the Editor of the Examiner. Lenox Corraace, Dee. 23rd, 1882. My Dear Sir,—Among the very beauti- ful pictorial cards for the good season of Christmas, to be seen and admired, (and purchased by those wich whom the bankrupt Bank has left any cash) [ notice, at Messrs. Bremner’s, the Royal Stewart tartan ribbon, by way of fringe toa card which bears a schooner and a brig as ornaments. The schooner may represent the vessel in which the good King Robert the First, of Scot- land, amused his latter days by sailing up and down the River Clyde, when suffering from acute rheumatism, brought on by his exposure to all sorts of hardships, during his earlier struggles to free his country from the yoke of King Edward the First, of England. A printed paper accompanies this very beautiful card, headed ‘‘ The Royal Stewart.’’ Supposing this card to be open before you and your readers, | remark that the original. and proper name of the Stewarts, is Fitz Alan,—not Fitzallan. Walter Stewart, Hereditary Lord High Stewart, of Scotland, inherited that name, derived from his distinguished office, from at least ten generations, and not merely from seven when hemarried the Princess Marjory, daughter of King Robert the First; their son Robert came to the throne of Scotland by the abolition or abnegation of the Salique Law of exclusive male inheritance. There are many lineal descendants of the crowned heads of the race, including myself for one, the Honorable Louis H. Dayies, Theophilus Stewart, Esquire, late Indian Commissioner, and numerous others, at Malpeque, Lot 8, and elsewhere. The chiefship of the family may be, as the card above mentioned states, claimed by the Earl of Galloway, and by the Stewarts of Castlemiik, in lreland, of whom the un- happy nobleman, Lord Castlereagh, was the Chieftain, —a title subordinate to that of Chief. In my opinion, there is no doubt that the gentleman, now no more, who was well known and received in the highest circles in Great Britain, France and Italy, asthe Count D’ Albany, (of whom your paper contained notices) and his brother, known and received as the Count de Lan- castro, (the two brothers uniting in them-

selves the white and the red rose, York and Lancaster), were the legitimate heirs of King Charles

the Third, the Prince Charles Edward Louis Casimir of the year 1745, by his wife the Princess of Stolberg. I could give you many other details of genealogy, but for, the present I content. myself with referring to what Judge Blackstone,.in his excellent ‘* commentaries on the lawsof England,” wrote on the subject of the succession to, and the settlement of, the Crown of Great Britain, Ireland, and France. ‘* These matters may be instructive amuse- ment for te us to contemplate, as a specula- tive point of history.’’ But, headds, ‘‘care must be taken not to carry this inquiry farther than merely for instruction or amusement. Onthis I beg to say ‘* Yes!” For we should arrrive at a somewhat incon- venient conclusion by any other process, or by attempting to put our instruction to practical use and purpose,”’ Itis worthy of remark, that it was not until the death of the above mentioned Count D’ Albany, that Her Majesty Queen Victoria conferred the title of ‘‘Duke of Albany” upon her son Prince Leopold ; while the Lion of Scotland yet lived, and while he could say, in the words of the old Scottish motto, ‘‘nemo me impune lacessit!” Or, in the words of the Lowland vernacu- lar tongue, ‘‘wha daur mell wi me!” It might have been dangerous to disturb or annoy him by pulling off bis mane to make a wig. The Revolution of the year 1688, the Prince of Orange, his wifethe Princess Mary of England, her sister the Princess Ann, married to Prince George of Denmark, these two ladies being grand-daughter of the excellent Earl of Clarendon, the ‘‘Fidus Achates’’ of the unhappy King Charles the first, and his Queen, La Reine malheur- euse, the glorious chaunt of ‘* Vive Enricot!”’ (Henri Quatre) “Oh! Richard! Oh! mon Roi! ” which cost the lives of King Louis the XVI of France, and his noble Queea Marie Antoinette. But whither is my pen running! I draw bridle, and remaih My dear Sir Your constant reader, Ropert Braver Stewart.

Bank of P. E. Island.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Mr. Eprror,—A recent writer in your paper signed ‘‘Shareholder and Depositor,”’ makes an attack of Dr. McNeill and the liquidators of the Bank of P. E. Island— on the doctor because he has the presump- sion to effer an opinion on the men con- nected with, and the practices of,that vaga- bond institution ; and on the liquidators thereof because they have thought proper to appeal from the decision of Judge Peters in the matter of the ‘‘set off.” Permit me, az a depositor only, to express my hearty thanks to Dr. McNeill for the brave fight he is making on behalf of the fleeced, flay- ed and robbed depositors of that dirty old institution, and also to the liquidators for appealing from a decision which is manifest- ly unfair, and one-sided. Judge Peters’ decision is either right, or itis wrong. If right, it ought to be known, so that the impression now prevailing may be removed. lf wrong, it ought to be reversed, let the cost be what it may.

‘*Shareholder and Depositor” cannot deny that he had a better opportunity of

I would suggest, Mr. Editor, that every- one writing on this old Bank business should put his proper name to his communi- cation. I suspect ‘Shareholder and De- positer” is one of those persons who would run the risk of getting a sound flagellation if he appended his name to his letter, for I know certain shareholders and depositors conuected with the Bank of P. E. Island whose sins are not much less than those of its callous directors, These shareholders and depositors have a motive in preventing an appeal, and an investigation too, if they had the power. If ‘‘Shareholder and De- pesitor” will, therefore, agree to this condi- tion, I shall be happy to meet him on the saine terms. In the meantime, I claim the right that he has established by subscrib- ing myself,

Report of the Executive Committee of the Y. M. C. A., 1882.

In presenting their annual report, the Committee, with devout thankfulness to Almighty God, desire to congratulate the Association on the measure of success which has attended our efforts during the past year

In spiritual work there has been ‘‘aa advance along the whole lire.” We have had regular gospel meetings every Sabbath afterncon; Young Men’s prayer meetings Friday evening; Bible Class, Saturday evenings ; Tract distribution among seamen Sabbath mornings; visitation of the jail and poorhonse, and some cottage prayer meet- ings in Southport, beside special efforts, We desire earnestly to cal! the attention of the members and other young men Lo the ‘*Young Men’s Prayer Meeting” on Friday evenings at 8 o'clock, and that of the general Christian public to the Saturday evening Bibie Class (same hour) open to all where the International Lessons are studied. This class is acknowledged by all who attend it, to be a most valuable aid in the preparation of Sabbath School lessons and in the study of God’s Word, and we trast that, large as the attendance now is, it will soon be more than doubled.

Our Reading Room continues to be liber- ally supplied with all the leading Domestic and Foreign newspapers and Moegazines. In this connection the committee feel that this branch does not receive the support which it should from the general public, and they have no hesitation in stating, that in no city of these provinces can the same advantages be secured, at the low price of two dollars a year for gentlemen, and one for ladies.

Our financial statements shows a small excess of receipts over expenditures for the past year, but we have still a very consider- able amount of debts unpaid, the accumula- tion of former years and our usefulness is cramped in many directions by want of means. The Committee have therefore decided to form a sustaining membership, similar to that in other Associations, and to appeal te the general public of Charlotie- town to aid them insodoing. In Halifax, and St. John and other cities, the Associa- tions receive annually large donatiuns from business firms and individuals who recog- nize the benefit the community receives, from having a first-class literary institution placed within reach of young men, at a very low rate, enabling them to spend their evenings in a pleasant and prefitable man ner, and thus keeping them out of the way of associations of an injurious character.

Our large hal has been paiated and generally improved during the last year, our reading rvom papered and several addi- tions made to the comfort and general ap- pearance of the basement:

The Committee urge upon the member- ship an organized effort to increase the sale of tickets during the coming season and to use every exertion to increase the usefulness of cur Asssciation.
