Repairing of Charlottetown, Dec. 12, 1894—dy je sty’s finest, swiftest warship:—an honor brother around him clustered memories at once so proud and so mourn- ful. He whose loss we this day deplore was a nan of high legal attainments, large intellectual powers, able to grasp and mas- ter any and ¢ very no matter how abstruse. He was a genius, if by genius ig meant anaptitude for untiring, unflag- work, he was almost only man I ever knew’ who seemed to love work for work’s sake; a quiet, easy and effective speaker, it was a pleasure to listen to his forensic efforts at the bar, or when discussing questions of | public interest, and he was withal a man who filled a large and conspicuous and | foremost place in the eyes of this his | native province and of this Dominion, but had menmver subject, ging for the enviable won an reputation in the } mother country as well, and yet he is gone, struck down io his prime and ere his sun bad reached its zenith. It will uct do for us poor mortals to eavil at the decrees of a Providence that shapes the destinies of man, rough hew them how we will, and who holds the lives of the learn ed and the ignorant, the noble and the | ignoble, in the hollow of its hand. But yet it is not forbidden us to mourn that | one so gifted, and before whom opened possibilities so great and so far reaching, should have met a fate so sudden and so tragic. Sir John Thompson commenced life at the foot of the ladder. I remembered him when astudent with Heary Pryor, and many of you here recellect the small and dingy office in Bedford row in which he commenced the practice of his profession. But his legal abilities were soon dis- covered and his professional services eagerly sought. While atthe bar hs entered provincial politics and was | appointed Attorney-General, and when | the party he led was defeated at the polls, he made that very defeat a stepping stone from which te reach the judicial bench of this province, and that position he resigned in order to become minister of justice, with a seat in the cabinet, and ere long he was called to the post of prime minister of this Domin ion, the highest office in the gift of the people of Canada. What mor: was there for an ambition, however insatiate, to grasp? Before him and just beyond him his eagle eye discerned a seat on the judi- cial bench of the privy council, the high- est court in the realm, and the coveted, glittering prize seemed almost within his reach, but, as the noble bird who has ob- tained the topmost summit sees afar off a loftier crag and spreads its wings to reach the coveted height, when the stealthy murksman stays its upward flight. So ere he had more than stretched his pinions to gain the goal of his ambition, the silent arrow sp ed and quivered in his heart, ancl, fluttering, he fell to earth, and he wv ho had been horn in a lowly home died in the palace of his queen, and the roval lady, who had just previously sworn him as one of her privy councillors, was the first to | drop a tear on his lifeless form and the first to place the florai chaplet wreath upon his casket. And now for him life’s fitful dream is o’er, and all his hopes, all his desires, all his struggles to come, and all his ambi- tion lie buried in the dust, that ere long shall cover from sight all that is mortal of him. Sie transit gloria mundi. But death itself might not rob him of his posthumous honor, for, by the man- date of hia sovereign, his boly will be borne across the ocean in one of Her Ma- that was, I believe, conferred but once be- fore, when the remains of George Peabody were conveyed across the seas by the war- ships of three nations. This high and double compliment paid to Canada through her chieftain will surely not be forge ‘en by the sons of Acadia. But one thing more I may mention—Sir John Thompson died a poor man. Yes, l.ke the Hon. Joseph Howe and others that might be named, he died poor. And what higher, vobler, more enduring epitaph can be written in these degenerate days on the tomb of any public man than this, that he died poor in this world’s but rich in the love, the affection | and the gratitude of his country ? And now what remains but that we, as we pass around his bier, taking a last lock on Nova Scotia’s most gifted and | | | goods, most successful son, and as we drop the tear of sympathy for the wife he has left a | widow and for the children that are father- less, softly whisper “Requiescat in pace.” —————_—_—_——_ pot WHAT WE SAY, bu) what Hood's Sarsaparilla Does, that | tells the story of its merit and success Remember HOOD’S CURES. ee a Come in and see our stock of boots, shoes, etc. Big discounts after January 1. —A KE McEachen.

Stx,—In your issue of the 14th ult. there is a letter signed ‘Traveller,’ which [ suppose is intended to be a reply to mine of the llth, anent the Southport Ferry. But instead of refuting, he has corroberated every statement which I wave made, In the first place he says that I made a groping attack on the ferry. Now, sir, in that very statement he tacitly admits the darkness prevailing in and about the fe ‘try, for a person never grope about in the light, you know. Then in the next place, he says that the present party in power took away the electric lights, Well, now, that is my contention surely. I asked them to explain why they took away the lights and “Traveller” comes out as their spokesman, and says they took them away because they were proved to be nuisance; at the coming in of the ead striking the side of the wharf the lights would immediate ly expire, Now, sir, if that proves anything at all it only proves that the light on the wing of the dock was not in the right place, ‘and should have been placed a little further up on the solid wharf. By the way, does “ Traveller,” who has been about ‘the ferry, as he says, for the last twenty years, and so very much about it for the last three years, know that that wharf is built solid ? But why take away the lights which were not in anyway effected by the boat coming into the dock? Oh, he says. they too were a nuisance. Now, Mr. Editor, the people who have to cross the ferry want to know who proved these liglits to be a nuisance. Was it the two bun dred men who signed their names to the petition, or was it the travelling public who have to cross the ferrv after dark the whole season through ? No; it was neither. But because putting the electric lights on the wharf for the safety and convenience of the public trave ing at night by the Southport ferry was alto- gether the work of the Conservative party, Peters, Cummiskey & Co. must deem them to ‘he a nuisance have them taken away. Then “Traveller” goes on to say thet some person whom he calls the writer coming down to the boat under the lumin- ous canopy of heaven, fell on the deck of the steamer and fractured his shin. And here he corroborates my _ state- ment again. Nothing but the stars shin- ing overhead to show the way, is it any wonder that the man tripped and fell ? No light on that dark and dismal wharf, ex- cept what shone down from the luminous canopy or heaven. Was it not providential tha. the steamer was lying in the aock at the time, and that falling on he rampledeck sav- ed hm from £@ing over into the cold icy waters of the river, in which latter event there would be now, ia al] human probabil- ity another family added to the list of those who ar2 al lready mourning for the band and father who left home in the morning full of life and hope, but whom that ferry has fated never to return Then, is it any wonder that the taxpayers, the electors of the Belfast and Fort Augus tus Districts, as well as the public at “large, are expressing their indignation at the oe they are being treated in this matter by the present party in power, in that the very safeguards for their lives and pro- perty crossing the ferry at night have been 80 ruthlessly “take n away. , and perforce hus- QUIVERFULL. — eo Warning to Women, Ladies who appreciate the high quality of Priestley’s name is stampe don every tive yards, Instances are not unknown where Priestley’s trade mark “The Var- nished Board” has been used the second time with inferior goods w rapped 7 it SELL only the BEST, whieh is Woodill’s German Baking Powder, nd you lask no custom rs to BUY a. e aw/: FRANK Teake~ Oshawa, Ont.
