Sir,—The following curious item appears in Saturday’s issue of your paper:— * CHALLeNGe Accrprep —FVive,men of the 82nd Battalion, hereby offer to accept the challenge issued by the Charlottetown Engineers toa Rifle competition at Kensing- ton, to be tired within ten days from this date for the sum mentioned, Ranges 200, 400 and 500 yards, 7 shots at each range, with one sighting shot. Any position, no coaching, further arrangements to be completed with Lieut. Daniel Stewart, Captain 82nd team.”’ In reference tothe above may I be allow- ed to ask the ‘* Captaim of the 82nd Batt. team ’’--who issued the challehge referred to? Didit come from an officer of the corps or one of the Privates! Was it pub- lished in any newspaper, or was it by letter, or verbally? What is meant by ‘‘ihe sun mentioned 7?’ So far asa the Charlotte- town Engineer Company is concerned, the challenge, if any ever existed, (which is very doubtful) is a bogus one. It is true that a match has been arranged between a meniber of the Engineer Corps and a mem- ber of No. 1 Company 82nd Batt., to be fired by the five of the Charlottetown En- cineer Corps who fired the Batt. match at Ottawa, against ‘‘any five.” This match will come off so soon as Mr. Dover, a mem- ber of the Engineer team, whois now ab- sent frem the Island, arrives heine. I would wish to put Lieut. Daniel Stew- art right in this matter, and give him to understand that the Charloltetown Engin- eer Company never issue challenges, but are always ready to accept challenges when they come through the proper channel, and when issued in a true military spirit. If Lieut. Daniel Stewart imagines that by having a match (friendly of course) with the Engineers will improve the shooting aualities of the team which he commands, we are ready to treat with them; but if, he expects us to fire at ranges that have be- ec me all but obsolete—ranges at which our forefathers fired with bows and arrows and smooth-bore muskets, I may as well tell him once for all, that, as the Engineers have advanced a_ step beyond _ that, we will not entertain any proposal to shoot at such ranges. Yours truly, A. Horne, Lieut. Engineers Nov. 1f 1880, >. Defects of Canadian Farming. Professor Sheldon think that the chief defects in our farming are want of attention in raising good practical bovine stock, the cattle at present, in many cases, not being worth exporting to England. Steck raising lies at the foundation of all farming, fer if the stock are good, all other operations would be made subsidiary te the raising of them, aud al] the produce of the farm would be used by the stock on the farm, and thus keep adding to its fertility. If our farmers could raise beef fit for the English market, their steck would consume the hay and so improve the condition of the farms. He is of opinion that it would be better to grow more roots and green crops generally, such as rape, vetches the various clovers, trifolioinegtnatuni, sainfoin, greenrye,green corp and the like, for converting into forage for winter use. There should be a thorough radical change in stock raising, dairy farm- ing, and the production of beef and mut- ton for the English markets, and if our farmers do not go in for these they can have no inducement to raise the crops that tend to improve the farms. Our sheep are fairly good, the mutton having a nice qual- ity and flavor and they do not need such improvements as the cattle. If they want improving he would recommend the infu- sion of English Downs bleod and shortwool breeds in preference te the long wool stock, as the wool and mutton of this variety are both better than the long wools.—Sf. Joha Telegraph, ikke abil A Berlin despatch to the London Press says that ‘‘ the health of the Czar is so pre- carious as to be a source of grave anxiety to those around him. The stroke of paralysis which he recently experienced is said to have affected his brain. Hopes of his re- covery, however, have not been abandon- ed. The despatch further states that an escort of Russian officers has passed through Berlin, having charge of eight million rubles, said to belong to the Czar’s private fortune and designed for invest- ment abroad. What this may pessibly mean is obvious.” ee A despatch from Auckland says that in some of the Maori tribes the greatest dis- affection qrevails, bordering upon an open violation of law, which, but for the pres- ence of some local Warkatos would momen- tarily culminate in a blaze.

Months ago and lreland was reeling with famine. From every part of the world—from France and Canada and the United States, from far off Indian and Australian seas—came hands of comfort, of friendship, of life. Ireland was taken, as it were, in the arms of a syin- pathetic humanity an borne through her peril. There is now no famine. The har- vest is fruitful. There has been a gener- ous genial season. The people look for- ward to winter without apprehension. The government is anxious—more than anxious —jit is impatient to do something for the people. And yet at this time, when the country wants repose and security and time to breath, Parnell comes forward, and, with menaces of war and massacre, demands the downfali of the landlord sys- * tem because its fall wonld end the rule of England. It is difficult to think of any madder freak than this. It recalls some of the insane prejects of French Revolution- ary leaders ia the delirium of the Ter- ror. Mr. Parnell cannot expect Eng- land to dissolve her empire at his com- mand any more than he could have expected our Republic to disintegrate at the call of Jefferson Davis. What, then, dees he mean? Can he think of throwing his poor, worn, weary willions against the strongest empire in the world—an empire that in a week could sweep [Ireland with fire and sword? Does he think that the way to win the support of the better classes of England and of friends of liberty throughout the world is by inciting to civil war! The better classes ef England will not support Ireland at the cost oi their self respect and their allegiance, and there is no true friend of liberty who does not know that liberty means order and that there is no calamity greater than civil war. This was not (Connell’s way. and O'Connell was a mah whose shoe latches Parnell is not worthy to lowsen. O'Connell did more for Ireland in his day than Par- nell and his present follewing could do in'a thonsaud years. The greatness of U'Con- nell’s achievements grows with history. Since his time there has been no advance in Ireland, no leadership, no grasp, no statesmanship. We have had cabbage garden O’Briens, and blathering Biggars, and heedless partisans Tike ~ Parnell. O'Connell welded Ireland into a mighty moral ferce and pressed it upon England with the will of his gigantic genius and compelled righteous concessions. He won Catholic emancipation. Parnell sets his country in a blaze and scurries America for money to keep it burning, and he wins— what? Is Ireland any happier? Has it wen a single measure of reform! Is there any better disposition to listen to Irish claims? Is the sentiment of England—the sentiment of the world, that very senti- ment whieh only yesterday was hurrying to the side of Ireland with wine and oil and corn, that she might live—is this senti- ment strengthened by the doings of Mr. Parnell? On the contrary, do we not see reproach in the place of sympathy, and dis- gust in the place of friendship? The whole Parnell policy seems,to be fatal to Ireland. It is a barren, Mnorant, selfish, policy, appealing only to passion and hatred, and, however Parnell’s agitation may end, it is sure to leave Ireland in a helpless, thrilling, harried condition, like one recovering from a delirium ora fever. All our thoughts go ont to unhappy Ire- land. Grevious have been the faults of those who sway her-—greviously is she answering them. Theend we cannot see. In the meantime we trust that the better spirit of the people will assert itself, and that the genins and patriotism of the Irish character, which are written in glowing deeds on the history of Spain and France, and Austria and America, will arise to the redempt.on of [reland, to her pacification, to her prosperity, to the win- ning of a name that will be one of the glories as itis now one of the sorrows of the age. —e eo Fever and Ague.
