A_ brilliant opening gave him complete control of their sympathies throughout the lecture; and, as in his walks around -the ‘‘Holy City,” he passed from grave to gay, he evoked the unwilling tear and the hearty burst of laughter. Few lecturers sway the feelings more arbitrarily, and, we may add, more delightfully, than Dr. Tavlor. He commenced his walk (or rather his gallop) at Mount Olivet, where the party of which he was a member, sat down to partake of a meagre luncheon. As they approached Jerusalem, the holy associations of the place overwhelmed them ; and they stood and gazed through their tears at the once delightsome city. The walls now guarded by the rascally Turk— are from ten to fifteen feet thick and about two and a half English miles in length. There are tive gates. Four of these are closed at sundown, and ingress or egress prohibited on pain of pain of death. ‘The fifth is left open a half an hour longer, in order to enable late stragglers outside to enter. The modern city forms parallelagram. That there is such a spot about it as Mount Calvary is a popular error. But the city is, indeed, built upon four hills and over thrée valleys; and it is, above all others, beautiful for situation. The engineer- ing and masonry revealed by recent eXcava- tions are unsurpassed. by anything of the kind in modern days. Mauch of it is in capital pre- servation, and some of the old wall still re- mains, and many of the immense stones of which it was composed are 20, 22 and 24 feet in thickness. The engineering and masonic skill required in their preparation, removal and final laying must have been far above that of even the English and Americans of these times. A bridge built in the days of Solomon and lately laid bare is not surpassed in the quality of its masonry by any work of modern engineers. Many interesting facts mentioned by the Doctor we are compelled to omit for want of space. At the conclusion of the lec- ture a few eloquent remarks were made by the Rev. Mr. Lathern, on the interest inseparable from the land of the Savior. ‘The Rev. David FitzGerald expressed the hope that the learned traveller would not leave Charlottetown with- out again lecturing from the absorbing theme of the Holy and. The same hope was ex- pressed by others. BY DR. —_—_om City Council. —_—— The City Council met last evening. Present : His Worship the Mayor, the Recorder, Coun- cillors Peake, Beer, Koughan, Stambles, Crabbe, Horne, Hooper, Morris and Davy. The report of the Finance Committee was read, and the bills thereto annexed were or- dered to be paid. It was moved by Councillor Koughan, and Resolved, That tenders be called until noon on the 16th of December, instant, for parties wishing t rent the Market House, with its rents and tolls, fora term not exceeding five nor less than two years. The resolution states ‘‘the Market House with its tolls and rents:’ but as there are a number of rooms in the cellar of the Market House already leased for two and three years, these will not be included. The Mayor stated, for the information of Councillors, that the debentures recently is- sued have been signed, and the amount of $15,980 placed to the credit of the city. He also stated that a balance of $936 remained in the hands ef the late Treasurer; and it was Resolved, That the late Treasurer be in- structed to hand over to the present Treasurer (Mr. McLeod) the balance on hand, with all books and papers belonging to the Treasury. His Worship suggested the propriety of utilizing the unoccupied part of the Bell Tower for some useful purpose. It was moved by Councillor Stumbles and Resolved, That the lower apartment of the Bell Tower be fitted up for the accommodation of meal and flour vendors. A letter was read from Mrs. Mary Dibbins, asking the Council to supply clothing for the idiot child which she is nursing for the City. The matter was left in the hands of the Mayor. Councillor Beer’s Bill ‘‘ relating to dogs, for the purpose of taxing the same, ’ was read a third time and passed. It was ordered to be published for two weeks in the Datty Exam- INER and Herald newspapers. The horse and carriage bill was brought forth by Councillor Beer, and, on motion of Councillors Crabbe and Koughan, it received the ‘three months hoist.” An irregular discussion followed relating to the City Bread Inspector. The city at open has, virtually, two Inspectors—the farket Clerk and Mr. O'Neill. Both are reported to do the work of inspection which could be done without, as our bakers are generally esteemed for their integrity. No action was taken on the matter, and the Council adjourned. — 2p The Right kind of a Creditor'’s Meeting. Not many days ago the creditors of Patrick Cox, shoe manufacturer, of Rochester, were invited to attend « meeting at ‘‘ Mata- ran’s,” in Beekman Street, New York. About ten of the sixteen creditors assembled, and found a bountiful repast spread. Mr. Cox ad- dressed his guests, stating the purpose for which he had called them together. He said that ten years ago he was unfortunate and un- able to meet his obligaticns,amounting to $15, - 000. He settled with his creditors at 40 cent= onthe dollar, Since that time he had remov ed to Rochester, where he had ag 8m ar was now enabled to pay them the balance ©! his indebtedness. It ha: been a weight on his conscience all these years, and now he was happy to meet his old friends and pay them the remainder of the debt. He then handed an envelope to each one present, which con- tained the amount due. A weight on his con- science, this worthy man found his sixty cents in the dollar of unpaid liability! If every trader who compromises in Canada felt his un- paid balancefafter compromising to be a weight on his conscience, what a group of mourners in sackcloth and ashes wouid we have in every town and hamlet of the land. Here is an opening for some commercial Moody or Rains- ford, to convince compromising insolvents that they have a moral as well as 2 material liabil- ity, to quicken their mercantile consciences and reach their financial heart.— Monetary Tiines. cement Tho Successor of Cardinal Cullen. Tut Catholic Review of New received from Dublin a special cable de- spatch, giving the result of the scrutiny by which, according to canonical usage, the Metropolitan Chapter and parish priests of Dublin select three names for presentation to the Pope, so that he may choose one of York has them as successor to the late Cardianal Archbishop Cullen. After the usual for- malities, the voting resulted in the nomina- tion of the following : Most Rev. Bishop Mc ‘abe, dignissimus, who received forty-three votes ; Most Rev. Bishop Moran, dignior, who received seven votes, and Right Rev. Monsignor Woodlock, dignus, who received one vote. Mer. McCabe is at present the Vicar-Capt- tular or administrator appointed by the chap- ter. For a long time during the Cardinal's lifetime he was Vicar-General of Dublin, and two or three years since was appointed Bishop- Auxiliary to the late Cardinal, an appointment which did not confer the right of succession, which a Bishop-Coadjutor would enjoy. He is popular with the clergy, enjoyed the conti- dence of the late Cardinal Cullen, and showed marked ability as an administrator. As a canonist he was examined at the O'Ke:fe trial some years ago with great distinction. Mgr. Patrick F. Moran is at present Bishop of Ossory, a See which gave Archbishop Troy to Dublin. He is an eminent scholar, theolo- gian, historian and author. He was formerly vice-rector of the Irish College in Rome, a professor in the Propaganda, and subsequently secretary to his kinsman, the late Cardinal Cullen. Mgr. Woodlock is rector of the Catholic University, a post in which he succeeded John Henry Newman. He was formerly President of the famons Missionary College of All Hol- lows. He is a canon of the Metropolitan Cathedral, and was a vice-general of the late Cardinal. The Pope usually selects one of the names thus presented to him, or he may pass over all of them and select some one else for reasons only known to himself. It is probable that he may do so now, for the names thus sent to him are those of eminent and devoted. ser- vants of the Church in Jreland. =_-> A New Enemy for Russia. ltussia in her aggressive career in Asia has recently created for herself a new enemy, one that is strong enough to prove dangerous and obstinate enough to wage constant war against the Muscovite, even should she be worsted in her first attempts against her greedy northern enemy. This power is “hina which, within a year or two, seems to h: .e awakened from her lethargy and now bids fair to take a more res- pectable rank asa Power than she has done since she was brought into contact with Euro- peans. For the past six or seven years the Chinese have been reorganizing their armies on European modeis and they are now no longer the despised troops that they once were ‘The population of China is so large that there is practically no limit to the number of sol- diers China could put into the field; a horde vaster far than the army of Xerxes could easily be embodied by the Chinese Emperor to fight for the ‘‘ Flowery Land.” And the Chinese, although not hitherto reckoned first- class soldiers have some qualitics which are extremely valuable in a soldier. No troops have a greater contempt of death and, if they do not possess the dash of European soldiers, they have a steady persistence which few races possess. Now that their army — has been remodelled on European principles and that their Generals have taken to the study of German _ strategy and tactics the Russsians would be simply courting dis- aster and defeat, should they undertake to maintain a war against them in Asia. Yet that appears to be what they are likely to do. ‘In 1871 when the Chinese Empire seemed to be on the point of going to pieces, Russia seized on the Province of Kuldja, a Chinese district then in the hands of rebels, and which at that time seemed to be in danger of being seized by Yakoob Bey, who had founded for himself a kin Kashgar. Kuldja was deemed of great value to Russia from its position, both for commercial and strategical reasons and as a lever wherewith to open the gates of China, either to trade or conquest. When annexed it was taken ‘‘in perpetuity,” accord- ing to the Russian General’s proclamation, but to keep the Chinese quiet Russia promised to restore Kuldjaas soon as the Chinese again appeared with sufficient force to maintain order in Central Asia. A year or two ago the Chi- nese advanced against Kashgar and after a cam- aign which did them infinite credit, con- uered and reannexed it. They have now re-established their authority in Eastern Turk- estan, and they have demanded of Russia the restorationof Kuldja, according to promise. Russia, with her usual disregard of honest and ood faith, has refused to restore it, and the Chinese have sent a mission from Pekin to St. Petersburg to insist on the retrocession of Kuldja. ‘This demand puts Russia in a posi- tion of great difficulty. According to a Rus- sian writer, ‘‘ the retrocession of Kuldja would be an act of political suicide, for not only would it raise the prestige of China to a higher point than ever before, but it would under- mine our position in Eastern Asia by giving the Chinese a strong military position within our natural frontier.” Yet if Russia refuses to restore this Province she "may count on a war with China, in which she must run a great risk of being worsted. In other words, Russia must either step down and out of this Chinese Province, or resist and be kicked out after much spilling of blood. In either case, Rus- sian prestige must suffer and the difficulties of the Czar be increased.—St, John Telegraph. —_——_-_——__ 4p ——- ———_ ‘‘Iy is plain,” remarks the Chatham Planet, ‘‘that what adds greatly to the Globe's disquietude, makes it fairly ride with fury its Free Trade hobby, is the fact that while everything is admittedly growing brighter in protected United States, things are getting dreadfully worse in Great Brit- ain, and the ery for a protective policy is there growing louder and louder. The London Npectator and other prominent Free Trade journals, while they refuse to budge one iota from their Free Trade axioms, are constrained to confess that the clamoring of the laboring classes is not the result of gen- eral commercial depression, and will disap- pear with it, but admit that they must im- mediately cast about for a new basis to their commercial structure.” Arr: Auld Lang Syne.

The Japanese Minister in London gives an unqualified contradiction toa statement which has appeared in the newspapers to the effect to exto:t a confession from the Minister of F'i- nance in Tokio by means of torture. His Ex- cellency declares that torture under legal pro- cess is expressly prohibited in Japan. Dr. McHale, of Tuam, Ireland, is the senior Archbishop of the Catholic Church, and prob- ably the oldest mitred priest in the world, He has lived during the times of six Popes. He is an extreme nationalist, altiiough not a fluent speaker. He has translated the Iliad and ‘om Moore’s melodies into Irish, in which he sometimes preaches, and one of his most agree. able companions is Father Tom Burke. Mr. Bright has spoken out against the Tich- borne delusion. On being asked whether there was any truth in a statement made in a public lecture at Nottingham, that he had proposed conditions to Dr. Kenealy, by which the latter might restore himself to his former position in society, he said: ‘‘The whole story is false from beginning to end. It is one of the thousand lies which have been in- vented by knaves and believed by fools to as- sist in supporting the most gross and wicked case of imposture which has in cur time come within the cognizance of our courts of jus- tice.” A return recently issued shows that in the year ending March 31, 1878, the Excise and Customs duty froin spirits in the United King- dom was £20,675,925, while the duty on malt produced was £7,721,549; on wine, £1,628, 295; the excise duty on sugar used in brewing, £526,208; excise licenses on brewers and mal- sterers and for the sale of beer, spirits, tobac- co and wine, £1,941,912, and the tobacco duty, £8,006,835. The total revenue from these sources is £40,504,690, or about $202,523,000, to which England contributes £29,726,753; Scotland, £5,569,594, and Ireland, £5,208, 253. The estimated populatior of England on June last was 24,854,397; Scotland, 3,593,929; Ire- land, 5,433,640. Total, 33,881,966. The composing room of the London ‘*Times” is now lighted by the electric light, the Rapieff system, which is wonderfully success- ful. Ten lights, each with the illuminating power of a thousand candles, can be used on one circuit. The carbons burn ten hours, and can be replaced without extinguishing the light. A visitor writes :—‘‘In compliance with the wish of one of the gentlemen present, one of these lights selected at haphaszard, was turned out by means of a tap, and it remained out without the slightest perceptible increase in the volume of light in theother lamps. Then another light ata distance was treated ina similiar manner, and with a like result. These two were then relit by a turn of the tap the reverse way, and turned on full power. Then one was slightly ‘lowered’ so as to give about a third of its full light, as with ordinary gas. In short, we found here a useful and agreeable light, which can be moderated and arranged to suit all circumstances.” The cost is less than a third that of gas. The Ottawa ‘‘Herald,” a Catholic journal, complains of that portion of the oath of the Governor General which reads. ‘‘I do declare that no foreign prince, prelate, state or poten- tate hath or oughtéto have any jurisdiction, power, superiority or authority gubernatoral or spiritual within the Realm.” The ‘‘Herald” says: ‘‘Her Majesty has no right whatever to assume spiritual authority or superiority in this country, over its inhabitants, except those who choose to permit the assumption by becoming members of the Church of England.” Precisely the same words are found in the oath administered to the Sovereign at corona- tion. Yet as our contemporary knows that does not prevent her Majesty trom tolerating Dissenters and Catholics. ‘The oath in both countries is in that respect an obsolete fiction not worthy worrying about.— Mail. The Berlin ‘‘Daily News” says Mr. Mes Kenzie made one hundred and twenty ap pointments before he resigned, and after the country had expressed want of confidence in him and his Cabinet. This is the consistency upon which Mr. McKenzie prides himself. It is not forgotten that when Mr. McKenie took office he dismissed officials by the wolesale, averring that their services were unnecessary, but their places were quickly filled by men of hisown kidney. That is not all, but on his condemnation by the country, while whiningly announcing that he would not make any ap- pointments but what the exigiences of the public service called for, he was flooding all departments with his minions, and where vacancies could not be obtained by hook or erook, places were manufactured for the oe- casion. Some of these appointments have been very justly cancelled by the present Gov- ernment, and the amount of their pay saved to a depleted treasury.” : ——__° <> o——_____ The People ,Want Proof.
