Six, —Now that the winter is coming on again, I thought it would not be out of place tu make a few remarks in your valu- able journal setting forth the advantages the Capes route has over, any other route ‘o the travelling public, as well as a saving of money to the Government. If the Gov- eroment would concentrate all their efforts on the Capes route, they would, without doubt, be able to carry out the terms of union so nearly that the people would have no reason to complain. It is a certain fact that this route must be adopted tor part of the winter for the conveyance of our mails, the length of time depending upon the severity of the winter and the prevailing winds. To show some of the reasons why we claim that nature has formed these two points for the connecting link between Prince Edward Island and New Bruns- wick : 1. In summer it is only a ferry. 2, There have been other points tried, and failed. 3 That this has been the connecting point ever since the Island was first inhab- ited by the French. It was at these two points that the earliest settlers made their crossing. 4. We cannot doubt but nature formed this place for winter and summer connec- tions, not only for smali iceboats, but for a steamer, Just stop and consider the ad- vantages nature has made here above any other place, and surely everyone will admit that the Government should concentrate all their efforta at this point. 5. Nature has caused the tides to flow and ebb to suit a steamer crossing here in winter; the tide flowing from the north- west and the tide flowing from the south- east meet here at these points. When the tide is half high, it is still water until the gulf filis, and then it starts to recede, car- rying the ice with it each way, leaving lanes of water from shore to shore, I have crossed several times with Capt. Arthur Irving, and going over we had no water, but on coming back at the turn of the tide we had water all the way. Could the art of man accomplish auything equal to that? I trow not. Let the Government build a pier here, the same as on the New Brunswick side, and place the 8. 8. Stanley on the route, and it is my opinion, and the opinion of men who have been in the service for over fifty years, that there is but a very few days that the Stanley would not be able to run from shore to shore; and when she could not cross there would be no trouble for the ice-boats to cross, so that there would not be a fine day but we would have a mai), and theterms of union so nearly carried out ihat there would be no room to complain. It will be impossible to carry out the terms of confederation to the letter except by a tunnel. 6 It would surely cost the government much less money to run the S. 8. Stanley six miles thap to run her forty miles as at present. It the S. S. Stanley was on this route all that the Captain would have to do would be to take his glasa and he could see from shore :o shore and could ascertain at once if his steamer could go or not, and if hedecided that he would not go, the ice-boat could go at once. 7. The prevailing winds in February and March are from the north-east, which is sure tostick theS. 8S. Stanley on the Georgetown route, and here those winds clear the Gulf of ice ; and if it blows hard it is almost impossible for the ice boats to cross where the Stanley could rua every half hour if required. 8. And then censider the advantage to the travelling public, especially to a number of our farmers and fishermen who leave the Island in the fajl snd return in the spring. Let « passenger leave Ch’town for any point north, and it will cost him from Ch'town to Sackville, N. B.,—by the Georgetown route —-not less than ten dollars, not counting his time. Let himcome via the capes and it would not cost him over three dollars to arrive at Sackville, N. B.,— a saving of seven dollars. 9. Take our farmersand fishermen return- ing home in the month of March and April. They are told on the I C R. that the Stanley is making regular trips,and down to Pictoa ce.

They stay there maybe for a week and then have to return via the Cupes, very often taking every cent the poor fellows had after a hard winter's work in the woods I would here adviss all such to come straight via tne Capes, where they are sure to get over, and it will not cost them over four dollars from Sackville, N. B, to Emerald Junction, on P. E. Island; when, if they have no delay on the Pictou route, it will cost them not less than eleven dollars. And then take our mail service, In a short time the mails will be sent from Summerside to Charlottetown, stay there for a few days, and will have to be transferred to Georgetown route. They will stay there for a few weeks, and then, when all other routes are abandoned, the Capes route comes next, as the only route whereby we can get a daily mail, 1 have had charge of the mails here for several winters and I have a little idea of the extra work, expense end delay of the mails making all those transfers. When, if the Capes route were adopted wiater and summer, there would be no delays and no fooliag of passengers, having them go to Pictou and causing them to spend from twenty to fifty dollars, when four dollars would take them home.

Principal Grant, of Kingston, delivered the dedicatory services of the Jefferson avenue Presbyterian church in Detroit onthe 4th inst. He was inter- viewed while there on the annexat oa question ; “How large a percentage of our people favor annexation / youask. My answer is another question—how many men have ever been returned to an elective office in Canada who stood on that platform? Another ques- anyone dared to annexation as his platform? I do not know how near annexation we might have been had the pleasant recipracal relations of 186356 been maintained, but since 1866 the policy of the United States has been to starve Can- ada, as some of the American statesmen ssy- Insuperable walls have been built by the United States and we were forced to find new markets. is our natura] market, but you have erected those walls end eid: **We will starve you, we will drive you int» scheme? CC : you drive annexation ? Have we no ee:i respect, no love of coun- try! Are Americans afraid of Canada? That would hardly be possible—a nation of 65,000,000, and we have but 5.000,000 —but why build up trade with the coun- tries of South America by the enactment of reciprocity treaties and ignore Canada ? Twenty-six years since the reciprocal re- {ations were abandoned the breach is very wide now. If these pleasant relations had continued aj] those years the commerce of Canada would have been a part of Ameri- cans; naturally, the entwining of the com- merce would have had an effect on the social and political. We might have been one nation in al] save name.” 4+6@+e s+ere Tuinks He Knows Tuem.—The Rev, J. Edward starr, of Toronto, preached on Sunday last on *‘Why lawyers are such poor church goere?” Here is one sentence from his dis- course: ‘The trouble seems to be that lawyers too eatily yield to temptation. Clients want them to carry their end at all hazards. About @ thousand and one things are brough to them for help, and so intricate is the law and so familiarized are they with the idea that what. ever is legal is right, that too often they yield to the terrible temptation and leave the path of rectitude. If you cannot be honest and succeed in your profession get out of it, It is better never to accept @ brief than lose your integrity and perbaps your soul.” The rev. gentleman acmitted, however, that it is poss. ible for a man to be a lawyer and a Christian.
