An advertisement for one draws hundreds of answers. Once out of employment it may be years before a book-keeper gets another situation. Unless he has a good connection, he may be down at the heel, out at the elbow, and become a regular dead beat. Clerke of ail kinds are in the same boat. Unleas they have special knowledge of some business they may starve. And yet parents will not have their sous taught trades, but they prefer to let them take their chances, and stake the haszard of their lives on their knowl- edge of donble entry or a ‘‘ business hand ” Far better know how to drive a nail, plane a piece of pine, or use a turner’s lathe. A trade makes @ man independent in any part of the world. Prison life is telling severely on Parnell. Used to an active, energetic life, his con- fhnement is breaking him down in spirit and in body. Life in Kiimainham prison, as de- scribed by the Toronto G/obe's Special [rish Commissioner, is slow torture. The cells are dark and poorly ventilated, the inmates suiler frequently in winter from the cold— which is better, however, than the rush of foul, heatet air, which is sometimes let in the cells through the pipes. Slowly, but unerringly, this poisonous air does its work; and in a few weeks the stoutest frame suc- cumbs to it. Each prisoner is locked up” in his cell eighteen hours ont of the twenty. four. The ceils are opened at nine in the morning, and the prisoners are let out for air and exercise. At noon they are locked in again for two hours; let out again at two, and permitted to mope about till five o'clock, when they are shut up for sixieen hours. The strictest watch is kept upon the prisoners by the guards. ‘ _———— +i Pe Advices have been received at Washin; - ton from postmasters ip varions parts of the country indicating an alarming spread of smallpox all over.

The cther is shown around to a number of _ well-to do Chinese, and, after they have inspected her, she is submitted to what may be called public auction. The writer happened to be present at one of these sales. A young girl, aged about 19, was cffered, and after some spirited bidding, she was purchased by a wealthy Chinese storekeeper, whese place of business is in one of the leading towns of New South Wales for £100. The mélancholy aspect of the Celestial girl as she went away in company with the man who purchased her was deplorable in the last degree. ——_—_--> NOTES. NEWS Swiss advices report the fall of a mounts ain near the Jungfrau. Highway robbery is much more frequent in the United States than it formerly was. The Customs’ returns of the eity of To- ronto for the year just past show the gratifying increase of $786,279 over those for 1880. It eppears that a land agitation may be looked for in Holland as well as in Eng- land. Land which rented at $30 and $40 an acre in 1878 will not bring more than $10 to $15 now. The British cpium traffic is probably deomed te aspeedy end. Public opinion is growing very strong against it. A meet- ing was recently held at the Mansion House in Londen, which was addressed by the Lord Mayor, the Archbishop of Canter- bury and Cardinal Manning, all in severe condemnation of the iniquitous business. The beavens have declared their wonder with sore than usual brilliency during 1851. No less than seven comets have urged their fiery way from stellar depth into regions that can be scanned by man’s eye.

Including the horses and mules owned by the planters, it is calculated that the value of the cattle cf all sorts in the Trinidad Valley amounts to -$2,000,000. Great care is being bestowed upon the breeding and the importation of sheep, cows and buils is increasing largely, no less than a thousand head having been delivered from England and the United States at Cienfuegos alone in a single week. England is rapidly making up for lost time in the matter of public education. In 1869 the inspected schools were 10,337. In 1880 they were 20,670. In 1869 the children attending the schools were 1,332 - 000. In 1880 they were 3.155.000. In 1833 Parliament voted £20.000 a year in aid of education. In 1842 it became £1,030,000, and i» 1870 it was £1,914,000. In that year the Education Act was passed, and ix 1881 the vote was £2.682,000 annual grant for schools. Besides these, there are the loans from Government to the School Boards to enable them to build school. houses.

Lot 55, Dee. 31, 1881. oa ' To the Editor of the Examiner. | Six,—1 trust you will, in the interest of reply to some remarks made by the Rev. Mir. Berrie, in the course of a lecture on ‘temperance, delivered by him at Montague Bridge. | The rev. leeiurer said the inhabitants of | Lot 61 are, almost without exception, hard: | drinkers, and charged them with nearly all the rowdyism and disorder that has made | the village of Montague so notoripus. 1 (must say that such a charge, made by one who, in view of his sacred calling, would be supposed to have some regard for the ninth commandment, is outrageous. It is true, there are some among them who are fond of a glass, but that they are more given to strong drink than the rest of the people of King’s County, is very far from the truth. Iam, for many years,'a resident of Lot 61; I am acquainted with most of its inhabitants, and can truthfully say that, with few excep:ions, they are sober and industrious. Here, in my neighbourhood, were never seen inside of a tavern,and never bought or drank a giass of strong liquor. If the lecturer wished to be severe on drunkards, there was no occasion fer him to goto Lot 61 in search of them ; ibere are plenty of them around Montague Bridge; roughs as hardened and reckless, I will venture tofj say, as can be found on the Island. In proof «f this [ think it will be sufficient to remind him of the shocking affair which occcurred in a rum den on the south side of the Bridge about two months ago; and I think it might convince him, he need not go so far as Lot 61 to find sn illustration of the evils of rum drinking. & J wovid suggest, that as the Reverend gentleman has talked so much of the liquor traffic, it is time he was doing something for the suppression of the nefarious busi- ness. He might at least inake an effort to procure the closing of that den of in- iquity, within a few yards of hia own resi- dence, where it is said all the liquor drank by the people of the southern section of King’s. County is obtained: In making soms practical effort in that direction, 1 think the rev. gentleman would be better employed than in uttering sneer- ing remarks on the inhabitants of Lot 61, of whose character and circ: nstances he has I can point to a score of young men who} J A.

Island, FRED. W. RYNDMAN $100,009 50,000 a} The main .objects the prometers of this Company have in view is to establish in the Dominion of Canada, under our admirable Insurance Law, a purely Mutual Life Insurance Company, wholly for the benefit of the insured, Tue Murvat Principte is the only one by which the participating members of a Life Tnsurance Company can receivea full equivalent for their money. It gives Insurance at net cost, while the soundness of the principle and the stability of such institutions are proved by the fact that the largest and most successful Life Companies in the world are muiual, It bas no stockbolders to deplete its Treasury by enormous annual dividends, and its directors are always selected from the very first citizens in the community, while its Execu- tive propose to conduct its affairs with the strictest economy, consistent with the efficient management and prosecution ofits business, confidently anticipating that results as success- ful, proportionally to those ettained by mutual companies in other countries, will be realized in Canada by a prudently managed compeny. This Company issues three classes of policies: First—Ordinary Life and Endowment with Profits, Second—Tontine Savings Fund Policies (deferred profits), Life and Endow- ment. Third—Industrial Class Policies, Life and Endowment The Ordinary Life and Endowment Policies of this Company provide the greatest amount of Insurance for the least amount of money, and the best possible ‘security for a family against want, should the bread winner be removed by premature on untimely death. The Tontine savings Fund, or Tontine Investment Policy, offers to all who havea reasonable prospect of being able to continue their payments, results which are incom- parably better than the ordinary plans of Insurance. To all possessed ot a reasonably cer- tain income there are few investments more attractive in their results. little or no fersonal knowledge.

Dear Sir,— The inhabitants of this place on learning a few days ago that the Rail- way Shed at this Harbor was to be used as a Drill Shed, were somewhat surprised and at once protested against the using of it as such. But now they have learnt that such is not the case, and that their representatives in the Dominion Parliament are about to use their influence with the Minister of Railways to have the track on the Beach kept in repair, and cause any freight that comes for Sourjs West and Vicinity to be sent down to the Freight Shed at this harbor by train. This is what the people here want, and they will net be satisfied with less, Parties who mad» the attempt to have this building converted into a drill shed will please ‘‘hands off,’ as the residents of Souris West and vicinity do not intend to be run rough-shod over in this manner. i hope this will bea sufficient hint to use their own railway buildings at Souris East as a drill shel, if they cannot get any other place to drill. The four militia men t ve belonging to Souris West, say they don’t evte where they drill. when they pecket the | money for the repairs on the building, about which lL wii have more te say by- and-by.
