Mr. Ferguson. It is wobbling again: a oe , —The Boston Journal has taken a glance at the polit al situation in this country, and has made thie following in- teresting oO servation: ~ The Canadian Liberals are false to their name in taking up an ec nomic policy which has just been overwhelmingly condemned by the enlightened sentiment of the American people. Free Trade has been rejected by every important country in the world,with one exception. To endorse this dogma is not Liberalism, but Bourbonism.” —The city is doing an excellent per- manent work on Great George Street and new plankways are being laid. Good pro- gress is being made by the Messrs. Lowe Brothers in the erection of a new St. Paul’s, and Mr, McGregor is’ working euergetically on St. James’ new hall. Several persons are building dwelling houses. John McMillan, Esq., is, we learn, about to build a handsome residence fronting on H)\lsborough Square, and Mr. Charles Hermans will soon begin the erection of a house on Upper Queea Street. Charlottetown is progressing, developing and improving notwithstanding the N. P. and the pessimists. —Free Trade is not meking the working women of England rich. The Port Hope, Ontario, Guide, a Liberal paper, publishes a letter from a Canadian in England, who writes as follows: “With our friend, the rson, we called at some of the cottages in the village of Sundon, and saw the women at plaiting the straw and making hats. The prices paid are tonishingly smali—a penny for a score of yards of plaiting and a halfpenny each for making hats being tne present prices — making it difficult for a woman to earn more than ninepence per day. This un- fortunate state of affairs is caused by foreign competition — principally from Japan, the result of England’s free trade policy.” NEWS NOTES. work as Tu the last three weeks or so there have been six suicide at Niagara Falls, Chicago's new city directory gives the city a minimum population of 1,695,000, Baron Henri de Rothschild, of Paris,one of the family of the world’s money kings, is a last year’s medical student in the Hospital de la Charities. H. Y. Massey. of Toronto, has promised Wesley College a donation of $20,000 in aid of the construction of a new college building. There were 9,800 murders in the United States Jast year, and only 110 legal execu- tions. This may account for the presence of Judge Lynch in 194 localities. The summer exodus of travellers from New York and Europe, which has been steadily growing for years past, is this year reported to be larger than ever. The revolutionists of Cuba are putting an embargo on coffee, cocoa and tobacco crops in the interior. They have forbidden planiers 10 transport these products to market. It has been certified by physicians that the American, Lorenzo Covington, arrest ed in London for threatening to murder Cardinal Vaughan, is insane. A magi-- trate ordered Covington to be confined in an asylum. The announcement is made that Bishop Sullivan, of Algoma, has been appointed privcipal of Huron Anglican College, Loudon, Ont. He has been compelled to abandon the hardships of pioneer work in Algoma for his health’s sake. If the debate in the Senate correctly re- presents the situation, the insurance of children’s lives is not carried on to any great extent by Canadian companies, which is a creditable thing. An invest- ment that matures on a baby’s death may be businese-iike, but it is not fatherly. Preparations are under way in Spain to have 40,000 troops ready to drill for Cuba in August, besides 10,000 men who will start for the Island next month. Tie Senate has passed the bill antaorizing the | g government to raise 600,000,006 peretas, should that amount be necessary, to put down the insurgency.

These showed a successful course of study during the winter. All complained that the contributions from the congregations had fallen away. Post graduate courses had been constituted ia Queen’s and good work had been done therein. A great increase had been made n the arts department of that university. Appeals were made for funds, and satis- faction expressed at the continued pros- perity of the colleges. Knox college report was presented by Dr. Caven, and showed that twenty eight students had graduated last session. One of the professors, Dr. Thomas. had died, and Dr. McIntosh, of Philadelphia, was nominated as his successor. The college was congratulated on the attainment of its jubilee. Its report was adopted with the exception of the appointment of Dr. Me Intosh, which was left for further con- sileration. Dr. Gregg intimated his resignation of his professorship, and a high tribute was paid to his work and suc- cess as a teacher. The evening sederunt was occupied with tLe consideration of home mission matters. Rey. Mr. McMillan presented the report of the eastern committee. Over 40 minis- ters and 65 catechists were employed. The income from all sourees was $12,281.64, and the expenditure $12,104.16, and the debt has been slightly decreased. A hurch building fund for the presbytery of St. John was sanctioned. Dr. Cochrane reported that in the west a greater work had heen done than ever be— fore. Thep had received an income of $75,826.76, including $10,000 from the British churches, and carried forward a balance of over $600 on the right side. The remainder of the sederunt was oc- cupied with speeches by home missionaries regarding the work they were engaged in, aud the many difficulties they had to en- counter. eee METHODIST CHURCH IN P. E, ISLAND. District Meeting Held in Cornwall. The district meeting of the Methodist Church in this Province was held on Wednesday and Thursday last. Rev. G. M. Campbell eccupied the chair; Rev. W. H. Spargo acting as Secretary. We regret that our space to-day will not admit of the lengthly report of the Rev. Mr. Lawson. From it we learn that the following re— solution was passed in connection with the question as to how the efficiency of minis- terial labor and the promotion of the work of God might be increased :— “Whereas, I. is the opinion of this Dis- trict Meeting that if more earnest and systematic efforts were made to organize and develop Lay Agency in connection with all our circuits and. Missions, it would prove of very great advantage to the Work of God, ‘Therefore Resolved, That Conference should make close enquiry into the extent to which such agency is at present em— ployed throughout ite bounds, and also make such arrangements as may encourage the more general employment and rapid development of such ageacy.” The following minute, proposed by Rey. W. Lawson, was adopted : ‘That this District meeting confirms its conviction of the need on all our circuits of a deeper work for God, the sustainment of our time-honored means of grace, such as the class, prayer and fellowship meet- ings, love feasts and sacraments, giving special attention to the training of the children for Christ and the Church.” Messrs Richard R. Campbell and George Ross having creditably passed the examin- ation, were unanimously recommended to conference as candidates for the ministry. A memorial service was held for the Rev. Mr. Dutcher, and warm tributes were paid to his memory by the Rev. W. Lawson and others. In reply to a communiction from the W. C. T. U., hearty sympathy was expressed in the objects aod sims of tbat Society and a pledge of support was given in the effort to secure instruction in the public schools oa the subject of Temperance. Lay representatives to the aunual con- ference were elected as follows, viz: W. E. Dawson, George Rackham, G. F. Beer, Golding Howard,Jas. Essery, J. T. Mellish James Sentaer, Wm. Pierce, Charles Bry- euton, Amos West, Anthony Essory, John Edwards. The financia' and spiritual needs of the Methodist Churc’ in this Province were fully discussed and it was unanimously re olved that Brackley Point Road be attach- ed to Winaloe circuit, Mount Stewart to Black River to Little York, Marie to Souris and Glenfinnan to Powna!; also resolved that Vernon River North be attached te Vernon River South.

Young as our country is, (here are very few cities that do not contain an ever in- creasing number of idle, or half-employed mechanics, doctors without patients, law- yera wityout clients, clergymen without congrega@ons, tradesmen whose failures seem onl? to have become an incident in their lives, and men who, under varions pretences, make their living by the credu- lity or weakness of their fellow—citizens. These people are not, in the ordinary sense of the word, immoral. They are, as arule, willing to work if they could get work to do. But they have brought in- ferior wares w a glutted market and no one will bay. They lose heart, and either sink into poverty or gain by craft or deceit what they cannot win by honest labor. Who can tell the sufferings which these poor people and those —— on them endure? As we cannotadmit that many evils in this world are incurable, let us, by a rapid glance over the past, try to find out how this state of affairs has been brought about and consider a remedy. Daring the first half of this century little bands ef immigrants driven at different times from their homes in the old country by the difficulty of gaining a live- lihood, sought the eastern shores of Canada. The land, covered with a dense growth of pine or maple, looked inbospit- able enough. Some of the immigrants had been soldiers, many were fishermen, others were farmers or shepherds, but very few bad taken even the first lesson in the woodman’s craft, which must hence- forth be their chief occupation. But their wives and little ones were with them; return was impossible, and choosing the most promising spot, generally by the water side, they set to work to make a home for themselves. Soon.a smal! clearing was made and a log cabin was built. The many openings left by the unskilful workmen were filled with mud and moss. If the family was large a rude partition perhaps divided the apartment and a loft ‘served the double purpose of store-room and bed chamber. One side of the house was almost occupied by the great fire-place, and, as the weather grew cold roaring fires filled the room with warmth and light. Seated in its cheerfal precincts father, mother, sons and daugh- iers plied their evening occupations. The whirr of the wheel, tke click of the knit- ting needle and the sofier sound of the “cards” showed that the women were manufacturing the rough, but serviceable, clothing which must protect the family from the severity of the climate. The men busied themselves in making or mending shoes, repairing their rude farm- ing implements, or shaping, with what skill they might, the indispensable axe handle. For the forest was at once their worst enemy and their best friend. very tree occupied a spot where crops might grow, while on the other hand, money for the few necessities the clearing could not furnish was most readily procured by the sale of timber to the shipyards where were being built the swift sailing vessels de- manded by the growing commerce of the country. The books of the family were, as may be supposed, few enough. The Bible, Pilgrim’s Progress, perhaps a stray volume of poems or Sermons, and now and again a newspaper or a welcome letter from the old country afforded the reading or the household. At long intervals the visit of arelative from a distant settie- ment or a belated traveller gave the good people an Opportunity of exercising their overflowing hospitality. The settlement itself was but a larger family in which trouble and joy were shared alike by ali, and where the constant interchange of kindly offices sweetened even misfortune, The widow’s wood pile was always replen- ished. The sick man’s crop was never unsown or his harvest ungathered. The schoolmaster was not yet abroad, and the rare visits of the minister were indeed like those of an angel, strengthening the faith and hope of the little congregation that met in the largest of the houses to bend their knees in prayer, to blend their voices ouce again in the song of thanksgiving and to listen to the tones of affectionate exhortation. A quarter of a century passed away. The old people’s hands have ceased from toil, and in the little fieid by the modest church their bodies are resting from their tabors. They fill nameless and in many cases forgotten graves; but to them we owe much of what is bravest, purest and truest in Canadian life. A schoolhouse has been built, and on Monday morning along the road that has taken the place of the woodland path little groups of rosy cheeked, bare footed boys and girls may be seen trudging alung to take their places on the forms where til late in the evening they will bend their minds to the unaccustomed, but to the fresh, active intellects of most of them delightful tasks, for idleness and trifling were not to be thought of in the presence of the old-time schoolmaster. Father and the big boys have been for hours in the fields. A confortable frame house has taken the place of the old cabin which, however, etill stands near; and mother and the girls, having looked after the milk, fed the young animals and cleaned up the house are busy spinning, weaving or sewing. No one thinks work a hardship. At haying or harvest the girls join their brothers in the field and he!pto gather the fragrant hay or bind the yellow sheaves, Soon the neighbor’s boys come to find helpmates among them, and the sons, taking up new farms, begin to make homes for themselves. A cottage is built, over which some sonsie lassie from a neighboring settlement is asked to preside. Ne oue thinks of going to live by himeelf. Misfortunes come of course. Crops fail, sickness, sorrow and death visit the home, bnt so far debt is almost unknown, and scanty indeed must be the harvest that will not leave sufficient food for the winter’s sypport of a family with good appetites and simple tastes. The spirit of mutual love and helpfulness can do much to comfort the sorrowful and lighten the burden of care, and the self-reliant man finds a way out of his temporary difficuties that often leaves him stronger and more prosperous than before. Nor must we think that the farm bounds his view. Newspapers, the intercourse of the school- master and the clergyman, and religious and political discussion; above all the Jong hours spent in the lonely forest or the quiet field, have given him material and time for thoughts, of which he has often little means of expression. ‘These strong, quiet men have finished the work ef the pioneer. “ They rest from their labors and their works do follow them.” Their sons, fairly educated, takes their places. Settlements are no longerdivided by great forests. Here and there villages have grown up. Railroads and steamboats have made intercourse easy. Improved im- plements lighten the farmer’s labor and better methods of farming make his land more productive. But a spirit of emulation and a love of display have entered inte the community. Fine houses, handsome carriages, and beautiful horses, and expensive dresses eat up the profits of the farm, and Debt, that enemy of Peace of Mind, haunts the farm— ers sleeping and waking hours. The slow process of nature will not supply money as fast as the artificial needs of the family increase. Boys and girls become discontented. The father, harrassed by the difficulties into which his own impro- vidence has led him, becomes perhaps needlessly stern. The children get a dis— taste of labor which brings them no direct remuneration, and leave the farm to learn a trade or enter a store. Other farmers, who have by a wise use of improved opp yrtunities and by prudent forethought acquired « competency, send their gona and daughters to college, not that they may return to adorn their homes but that they may enter upon some of what are called “professions.” Many of these young men, possessing natural talent, now fill honorable positions in the churches, the parliaments, the courts, or the colleges of the country; but others, whose only qualifications were their own or their parents’ ambition and a certain facility in acquiring information find, when thrown on their own resources, that they are unable to battle with the world, and that so far from haviug riven above their old companions their position is not only less independent, but also less lucrative, and, what’ perhaps they feel more, lower in the social scale. How hard it is to recover a lost path many a one who has spent long, terrified hours in the forests of our province tryl ag to find a trail which he bad left, as he thought, but a moment ago, can testify, but life itself depends onthe success of the effort. Alas that sometimes the bewildered exhausted travellerjis compelled to give up the attempt and perishes in the wildernes. But we have not, we are thankful to say wandered very far out of the way, and the return path is plain. If one who has tra- versed this broad Dominion of ours, and who has formed auy conception of the vaet amount of fertile unoccupied land it con- tains, can help thinking that if ever Can ada is to become a great country the vast majority of her sous must devote their time, their intelligence aud their energies to obtaining from her soil the subsistence it is so ready to yield, and while doing so fill the land with a people which loves her only as those whozhave taken a share in making a country can love her. Let the idle or half-emploved young men who have crowded into our cities re- turn tothe farm. Mother Earti is ready to welcome back her prodigal children and sti!] produce ‘bread enough and io spare for their needs.” The unaccustomed task will prove hard at first, but if they have atithe of the adaptability, the industry or the for- titude of the pioneers of Hastern Canada, their labor will ensure success. They then may feel as they look round on waving field or fruitful orchard that, if not in the highest, yet ina very jreal seuse they are workers together with Him “Who bringeth forth grass for the cattle, And green herb for the service of man.” Maria Lawson, ee GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

The testimony of four addizion il witnesses Comp'etes @ per- fect alibi for the late Senator Buck. i # Lees, chief of detectives, stated that he had followed every clue sand every person making connection with the case. He was absolutely in the dark regarding the iden tity of tiie murderer and admitted that he had not even a suspicion in reference to the probable slayer. The jury returaed a verd:ct of murder committed by some un- known person. It appears from the English register— geveral’s returns, just issued, that nearly fifteen thousand more people were married in England and Wales during last year than during 1893. The increase took place iv the first, third and fourth quar- ters of fhe year the gain in the first quarter being very considerable. There were, in fact, more marriages by upwarda of seven thousand in the first quarter of last year than in the same quarter of the preceding year. In the second quarter, however, there came a decline of more than four thousand; but in the third and fourth quarters there was a further in- crease, with a net result that for the whole year the marriage rate was 15.0 per 1,000, against an average of 14.9 for the tea pre- ceding year’.
