THE paper on the above subject read at the last meeting of the Literary and Scientific Institute by Mr. A. E. Morrison, was both interesting and instructive and was much appreciated by those present. Atter explaining the construction of cables and what materials are used therein, he illustrated, with pieces of cable, types used for deep sea and shore ends. The methods of laying and the machinery for sounding the bottom, and paying out and picking up cable and other purposes, the testing ap- paratus, were next discussed, being illustrated with mirror, galvanome- ter and rhevstat. He related’ the history of the first cable laid in England between Dover and Calais in 1850, and the first in North America between Cape Tor- mentine, N. B., and. Cape Traverse, P. E. 1, in 1852. The first attempt to lay the Atlantic cable in 1857 failed, as also did the second attempt made in 1858, werking only a few weeks ; it was not until 1866 that success was achieved. The first cable sent across the Atlantic was: ‘**Glory to God in the Highest, and peace on earth, good will to men,” as part of a message sent from Her Majesty the Queen to President Buchanan, in August, 1858. He also explained the instruments used to work the long submarine cables (illustrating with Thomson’s Mirror Galvanometer), and exhibited a map showing all the cables laid in the world up to the end of 1886. After complimentary remarks from Charles Palmer, Esq., President of the Institute. Dr. Leeming (who was one of those present at the first attemptt at laying the Atlantic cables), John Newson, Rob Angus and others, a hearty vote of thanks was accord- ed Mr. Morrison, and all departed well pleased with the manner in which the sub- ject had been handled. Arrival of the M. A. Starr. HER FIRST TRIP THIS SEASON. Tue steamer M. A. Starr. arrived here about half-past eight o'clock last evening — one day earlier in the season than last year. A large number of people were present on the wharf, and Captain Ferguson, Purser Stirling and her other popular ofticers were warmly welcomed by their many friends. Captain Ferguson reports that he left Halifax last Tuesday at noon and encountered much ice, as a result of which he was unable to make Sheet Harbor or Arichat. He brought a general cargo and two lady passeagers--Miss Bass and Miss Brown. During the winter the steamer has been thoroughly renovated. She has been newly sheathed, four new knees and new posts have been put in and her engines and boilers have under- gone repairs; she is now better than ever prepared to accommodate passengers and freight. She sails on return this evening. ee Claire Scott. Miss Crarke Scort, an English trage- dienne, and one of the most celebrated and widely known aetresses of the day, will appear in Charlottetown for one week, commencing Monday . evening, May 9th. This lady, with her admir- able support, has won the © favor of large audiences everywhere. She has a fine stage presence, a voice of unusual compass, and she.preserts a most artistic and realistic, and, it is said, distinctly original portrayal of the grand characters she persugates. .

The importance of the suggested Canadian route does not depend solely on the contingencies of war. It is pregnant in commercia) po- tentialities ot an incalculable extent. These , advantages need development, and while commercially the route might not prove re- munerative, the Post Office department would be placed in a favorable position fort! making more advantageous terms for the | conveyance of mails through the Suez canal. The TJ'imes is glad to find the gov- ernment inclined to give the proposal at- tentive consideration, for a strong prima It would forge a new link between the United Kingdom and the Canadian Dominion, than which no more important result could be obtained. The Daily Chronicle says, in the event of complications in Europe affecting the Suez Canal, a free route through Canada would be an acquisition of incalculable value. On commercial grounds alone, the proposal ought to be encouraged and the oppor- tunity not allowed to escape. The Globe observes that both commercial and Imperial interests would be promoted and developed by the western route. All the authorities agree that an opportunity of aggrandizing our naval and military power presents itself, which it will be sheer madness to neglect. It is entirely of opin- ion that the question is far too momentous to be considered on the narrow grounds (f economy alone. From a commercial point of view, apart from military and naval con- siderations, an impetus would be given to trade all along the line, while British Co- jumbia could not fail tu reap a great bene- fit from being made the point of departure for the Pacific mails. In the presence of the great self-sacrifice of the Dominion, it would be mean and contemptible on the part of wealthy England to shrink from in- curring a trifling pecuniary responsibility. There is every reason to expect that the decision of the Government will be in har- mony with Imperial requirements. The St. James’ Gazette remarks that it would be inexcusable to throw away the opportunity which the Germans would be glad to seize, of encouraging the Pacific trade and equipping a squadron. The scheme was well worth the cost of carrying it out. The * Dark Ages.” At a recent meeting of the Lime Kiln Club, Detroit, the following letter from a well-known resident of this city was read. It is published in the Free Preesof that city, as follows :— CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E. I. Brudder Gardner ; My name is Pop-Eye, and I lib on the can- fines ob dis city, which has been” known for ober fifcy yeahs. by the unsabory name ob de Bog. I was readin in de last published report ob de Lime Kiln Club dat ole Nat de Cour- sey's application for membership was not re- ceibed, kase he was too far along the highway ub life. When I read dat report to ole Nat he just sed, ** Wal, l’se mor’n 45 and not eligible, and as de President has axed me to lecktur on de dark aiges or any udder subjeck in which I am in de dark, I must decline for obvious reasons.

When de groceries was laid away and a tin dippah purchased, I perceeded to interest de colored citizens in de great questions ob de day. De fust man I met on de street was Flat, andI sez: ‘‘ Heah, you Flat, wot yor loafin’ roun’ for?
