DOWN IN A COAL MINE. Wate driving from Little Bras D’Or to Nor.h Syduey, I was forcibly remiaded of our own Island home. Furst, there was dust—clouds of it—just like that which we have here, only a little darker and grayer in color; and then there were delightful verdant meadows stretching away over sloping or undulating jandscapes, green and fresh-luoking in spite of the long dry weather, —showing that the soil is naturally strong and will respond generously to guod cultivation. North Sydney is scattered for a mile or more along the right bank of a magniticent harbor. It is a young place,—an elderly resident can easily remember its first house —and it isa place of great expectations, which seem to be altogether reasonable. It boasts "a Mayor and eight Councillors, and the usual accompanimeut of increasing taxes. It has some good bits of sidewalk, a fine new freestune custom house and post oftive, all the churches, and many other things which mark a thriving, respectable, go-ahead town. An inexhaustable supply of water from a fine lalgin the vicinity of the town—-known as Freshwater Lake—is anticipated, and also a system of electric lights. These, with a first-class hotel, and the railway facilities which will soon be ex- itended to it, will enable North Sydney jto profit largely by its natural jadvantages in point of situation and ‘the great mineral deposits by which it is surrounded. On their arrival in North Sydney, the , members of the Press Association were en- tertained by the Town Council at a sump- |tuous bsnquet in the Presto Hotel ; while ‘the ladies by whom they were accompan- ied spent a very pleasant evening at Mr. | Bertram’s beautifully situated residence, in company with his hospitable wife. Almvust the first person I met at the banquet was an Ifslander, a native of Charlottetown, Mr. Douglas A. Smith. Seated at the head cf the table, on my right hand, Mr. Smith had many questivns to ask, many remembrances to repeat,about the friends of his youth and the old times in the old home. Mr. Smith seems to be in prosperous circumstances, and is evi- dently highly respected by his fellow- townsmen. We rested and went to church on Sun- day. Some of us listened tu an excellent sermon by Father Murray—as the Rev. Robert rray, editur of the Presbyterian Witness, the Nestor of the Press Associa- tion,.was familiarly termed by his feliow excursionists; others went to hear the able discourse of the Rev. Dr. Coflin; and others joined iy praise and prayer at the English Church, of which the Rev. R. D. Bambrick—for some time Curate of St. Peter’s in Charlottetown—is the Rector, and heard some of the duties of Christians very clearly and forcibly stated. Ou Monday morning we left North Sydney to visit the coal mines and tu be cordia'ly received and banquetted in the town hall ot Sydney. The steamer Marion was in waiting, and we were glad to grasp again the hand of Captain Burchell, Captain of the Marion and general manager of the line of steamers which ply upon the _ beautiful lakes of Cape Breton. The praise of Captain Burchell was in the mouth of every one we met. His great kindness and at- tention to the members of the Press As- sociation contributed largely to the com- fort and pleasure of our trip, and accorded with the statements cancerning him of passengers who had gone before. We also met on board the Murivn the Captain’s brother, Mr. Burchell, and Principal McKeen, of the Cape Breton Academy— both of whom placed us under lasting obligations—-together with other leading men of the old town. Crossing Sydney Harbor, we landed at the pier of the Intercolonial Coal and Rail- | way Company and _ proceeded by train to the company’s mines, about twelve miles to theeastward. The roadbed is straight and well graded, and the track | is laid according to the standard guage. But the wealth of the cvuntry on either feeble rays of light which proceeded from the lanterns held by the party. Here and there a iaborer or miner flitted with a lamp fastened to his head, emitting about as much light as a firefly in a very dark night —a giimmer in an ocean of blackness. Rails are laid along the bottom of the corridor, and upon these were long lines of loaded cars and empty cars—the loaded ones being brought f6rward to be raised to the suriace, the empty one. being taken back to be re- filled. The workmen worked methodically and briskiy as in the light,—their eyes were accustomed to the darkness,—and the vperation of raising and lowering the cars went on continuously. There was a cellar- ish feeling about the place. It was not very damp nor very chi ly; but the cheering beams of the glerious sun were missed. Ventilation is secured by an adaptation of the principle that nature abhors a vacuum. A steam pump on tbe surface is kept at work ali the while, pumping air out of the mine; and the fresh air of heaven rushes down the shafts and along the passages to fill the void: nd supply the miners and their horses with ihe breath of life. While down in the mine, Mr. Johnson explained to us more clearly than I had ever heard it, the position and extent of the cowl measures. A plate of sandwiches will convey the idea as well as anything: the bread represents the hard rock, the slices of pork between the bread, the coal. Layers of coal extend under the face of the » whole country of Cape Breton and away out under the ocean. There are four work- workable seams, the first at a depth of about eighty feet from the surface, the last at a depth of about iwo thousand feet. There is one layer or seam about six feet thick, another about eight feet thick, and two others about five feet thick. It is possible that, on emerging into the sunlight from the depths and biackness of the mine, with its dim glimmering lights, some of the party appreciated more clearly than ever before the great difference there is between the condizions of this world and those of the other world above.

Lewis & Son, of Cardigan Bridge, at the King’s County Exhibition was very much admired. The beautiful way it was carved could hardly be beaten by any sculptor. John Robertson, Inkerman, had some fine samples of vegetable seeds, grown by him on Inkerman Farm, at the Exhibition in Georgetown, which attracted a great deal of attention. Enterprize of this kind should be encouraged by special prizes at our Exhibitions. Mr. R W. Stewart, of Brudenell, had several exhibits of his skill in taxidermy at the King’s County Exhibition. Mr. Stew- art is self taught; but his work is really excellent, The excellence of the Commissioners’ arrangements, and the good management of the secretary, were the subject of favor- \able comment at the King’s County Ex- hibition.
