A child is afraid of being whipped, and gets bis task, and there’s an end ont; whereas by exciting emulation and comparisons: of superiority you lay the foundation of lasting mischiet—you make brothers and sisters hate each other.” Oa which the Canadian School Journal remarks that “the grulf old philosopher may have been right or wrong iu his preference of ove bad motive force to another, It does not seem to have occurred to him, or in fact to many in his time, that there might be a more excellent way than either, one free from the moral objec- tions of both methods.

[n every large provision store you will find Canadian cheese, hams, bacon, can- ned fish, apples, ete. The cheese is now selling at 50s. the quality per cwt.; 13 improving, aud the sale increasing every year. The apples came in rather late in the season; still they are fine aud sound, and sell well at ffém 18a. to 30s. per barrel. Canadian agricultural implements, which are light, strong and Il finished, are sold in all the bard- stores, and there is a fair market for Canadian grain and seeds. Our chief suppiy of timber is Canadian, but there have been few buildings put up year; the trade is dull, and cheap laber and freights make the Baltic countries keen competitors. 1 have no doubt, if the condition of this couutry improves, that many Canadian products will filad a profitable market At any rate, everything Canadian has an excel- lent reputation in Ireland just now.” ware ig the auri Tue Myrtle Navy tobacco is not burdened with the usual costs which swell the price nost articles to the consumer; the firm employ no travellera whatever, their orders ms to them instead of being sought by L, does not require to arge stock on hand swelling its price h interest, for the factory is an immediate ‘ree Of supply to him,at the cost of a postal lhe merchant af i‘ or at most a telegram.

CHARLOTTEYXOWN is at last to have a first- class Opera House, and to the Benevolent, Irish Society is due the thanks of the com- munity for filling the long felt want. It has been decided to fit up the Society’s hall on Prince Street for that purpose. The main building is to be raised two feet-eight inches with brick basement and the rear wing elevated to a level with the main building, making the whole, from front to rear, one height. The basement which willbe nicely fitted up, is to be reserved for the holding of the Society's meotings, and will extend from the front to thé rear of the building. On the first floor, the partition near the centre will be taken down, and the hall opened up from front to rear—about one hundred feet. In the rear or western end of the building a stage will be erected, the plat- form of which will be three feet eight inches in height, and twenty-seven feet wide by twenty feet deep. The ceiling of the stage will be twelve feet high, so as to have twelve foot scenery, and will extend across the entire width of the building to the depth of the stage. The front of the stage will be carried up to the ceiling, and is to be nicely painted#and frescoed, and a piano, handsome ecenery, and the other permanent fixtores of a first cless theatre added. To the right of thé stage will be the ladies’ dressing rooms—two in number— and to the left the gentlemen’s, all of which are to be fitted up with every accommodation and convenience. Each of these dressing rooms can be entered either from the inside or outside of the Hall— from the inside by two doors—one on each side of the stage—-and on the outside by entrances on the north and south sides of the building. The hall will be lighted by gas from ornamental chandeliers and foot- lights, and the body, which ‘will accommo- dite over eight hundred people, seated with opera chairs. The gallery is at the eastern end and will be'nicely laid off with raised seats, etc., which’ will afford accommodation for about two hundred persons. The main entrance will bs on Prince Street,@nd to the right and left of this entrance thera will be two doors leading to the basement, for the ase of the occupants of’that portion of ‘the building. The contract for the catpenter work and the raising of the building has "heen let to Mr. Joha Fennell for $1,585, and work will be commenced in a day or two. The whole when fitted up will cost upwards of two thousand dollars, will be ready for oc- cupation next July, and will be one of the brightest and most comfortable opera houses in the ‘Maritime Provinces. We congratulate the Benevolent Irish Society on its enterprise, and trust that the fullest measure of success ‘will reward its efforts — ee ~— LETTERS &£O THE EDITOR, -_---wa>-- — Mathematical Puzzle Srr,—1 see by one of your late issues that there are mathematicians on the Island who can perform the seemingly im- possible : trisect a (right) angle.

Sir—The act to regulate nuisances in this city, passed in 1884, gave very general satisfaction, and a considerable number of citizens, in the interests of health and clean- liness, complied with the requirements of said Statute, whilst the large majority of householders paid no attention whatever to its provisidhs. During a few weeks of the past year, a feeble effort was made by the City Coun- cil, who are our Board of Health, to enforce a compliancé with law in this regard by ordering the immediate cleaning of ‘Privy vaults and cesspools ” and the closing up of all vaults desper than four feet from the surface ; but, as usual, little if any heed was paid to their orders. Whilst the voluntary action taken by some to promote the sanitary condition of the city by carrying out the provisions of the law, their best efforts are rendered abortive because of the fact that others are indiffer- ent about the matter, and allow nuisances to exist, the removal of which should re- ceive the immediate attention of the Board of Health, whose duty it is to guard the public health, especially at this season of the year, by taking steps for the immediate carrying out and enforcemont of the law in relation thereto.

The Chinese boycott is being pretty vigorously applied in the interior of Quali fornia, and in quite a number of towns’ the Mongols have given up the fight.] Mr. Herbert Gladstone, speaking at Bradford a few days ago, said the Govern- ment would hold fast to its present Irish policy and would secure victory whether it required six months or six years.

The exports from Germany to the United States during the first quarter of 188€ amounted to $2,625,000 more than the ex- ports during the same period of 1885, The newspapers call attention to the large in- crease in exports to America, which they attribute to the great strikes. The Globe’s London cable says: ‘* The report of the Grand Trunk Railway Co. just issued deala at length with the posi- tion which the company now occupies. The total deerease in the net receipts for the half year was £110,000,.

In San Francisco, ordinary joints sell at 10 eents per, 1b., and upward; choice outs and . steaks 25. cents. The New Zealanders say [they can place their frozen meat in San Franciseo at'8 cents a lb. all round, leaving a profit of . 2 cents on ordinary and an unlimited, margin for choice quality of neat. It is, proposed, to make the.veature sugcessful, to do away with middlemen. ' a i M. Pasteur has beéh very unfortanate with his wolf-bitten Russian ‘patients. Another of them died a few days ago, in all the agonies of hydrophobia. His end was as terribly painful, and his system re- sisted anddynés to the same extent as those who have not received any treatment. M. Pasteur’s faith in his system is not, however, shaken by these failures. He points out the difference between dog and wolf bitee. The mad* dog seldom bites more than once, and more frequently attacks the extremities, whereas the wolf bites again and again, and usually inflicts its wound in the neighborhood of the throat and face. In the latter case a larger quan- tity of the deadly virus is injected into the system, and the victim becomes less amen- able to the influence of the inoculated rab- bit poison. He maintains thatin all cAses of bites from dogs, when the patient is brought under treatment fn tima, a cure is absolutely certain. In one of his London letters to tha New York Tribune, written the day after the delivery of Mc, Gladstone’s great speech, Mr. G. W. Smalley says: *‘ From the be- ginning to the end of. his speech—and this it was which woke and sustained the raptu- rous cheers of the Parnellites—Mr. Gilad} stone deait with England and Ireland as two nations foreign to each other. The keynote of the statement is to.be found,in the sentence in which he announced his remedy for such discontent as the compa- ratively natural and simple, though not al- | re ways easy, expedient of stripping law in Ireland of its foreign garb, and mvesting it with a domestic character. That funda- mental distinction Englishmen pronounce calamitous. For practical, purposes they regard Mr. Giadstone’s Ireland as accurate- ly correspoading to the Ireland of which Mr. Parnell once drew a picture in Cincin- nati, with every link between her and Eng- land broken, save only, as Mr. Gladstone would have it, the link which binds her to the Crown.”’ Lt is this view of the matter that, more than anything else perhaps, has aroused so much hostility to the scheme in the minds of Englishmen, The public are at last getting at the facts in the Oregon matter The court of inquiry, held in Liverpool, has brought ont that while every bulk-head door was all right, and worked perfectly when the steamer left the Mersey, at the all import- ant moment, for some unexplained reason, one of them could not be “made to slide. This passage admitted the inrushing water to another compartment and doubtless occasioned the sinking of the ship. The varions wild statements about dynamite, stray torpedoes and the Flying Dutchman, are disposed of by the testi- mony of six or more witnestes, each of whom saw the three-masted schooner, both before and after the collision. There seems every reason to conclude that this vessel was the Oharles H. Morse, bound from Baltimore to Boston with a cargo of coda. The Morse registered five handred and thirty-five tons, and carried abont eight hundred tons of freight. She had nine persons On board, all of whom were lost. The importent fact now goes on record that a wooden sailing vessel of ordinary size is liable to destroy a mammoth iron steamer, y.
