Tablets are to be placed to mark the exact location. i On Saturday night the sailors in vessels moored at Peake’s No. 1 Wharf were startled by the cries of a sailor who had been thrown or fellover the wharf. They hurried to the scene, fished him out without much difficulty and put him on board his vessel little worse of the ducking he experienced. It is reported that the sailor was fighting with another. Both were drunk, and one overpowering the other, threw him over the wharf. We are unable to ascertain the correctness of the report. _—->--— Tue Qvzex Hoxorep.—The following is the second toast, following that of the Presi- dent of the United States, at Evacuation Day banquet of the Chamber of Commerce at Delmonico’s on the 26th ult: “The Queen of Great Britain! The many virtues of her life have won the hearts of the English-speaking race, her reign Will mark an epoch in history more memorable than that of England's virgin Queen or that of the illustrious Isa- bella of Spain, who pledged her jewels to furnish the means by which Columbus gave this continent to the world!” The toast was drank standing, amid cheers, er Lorp Rossmork’s Commission as Justice of Peace in County Monaghan has been suspend- ed, owing to his activa on the occasion of the Orange and League meetings at Koslea, County Fermanagh, on October 16th.

C. A.; in its ruggedness and firm- ness, though somewhat softened by advanciag years. are the predominant qualities.” The Witness in its notice of the exhibition says :— ‘‘A portrait of a veteran, by Mr. R. Harris, h. C. A., entitled ‘He, like bis sabre, when the wara were over, grew rusty,” is one of which every Canadian may well be proud, and which would be certain to be highly praised in any exhibition in Gondon or Paris. The power of the face itself is well set off, too, by an exceedingly rich background. This would be a refreshing contrast to many lifeless por- traits which annually destroy a large quantity of enthusiasm on the part of visitors to, say, the Royal Academy of London, Mr Harris also contributes a very highly finished water color, An old sandalled monk is angling with a most primitive rod, and the fish lying on the sand show that, as the title says, ‘‘Witn him the monastary knew its fast-day mea! secure.’ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —-The incoberént letter of ‘‘Bloomberg & Shoemaker,” in your issue of Saturday, does not require aengthyreply. In my former communication | used the word “fraud.” 1 re-iterate it. Its detinition by Webster is “deception deliberately practiced with a view to gaining an unlawful or unfair advantage.’ In order to convince the public that money has been extorted by this itinerant firm I in- vite them to inspect my plush albums, and if upon examination they do not pronounce those I am selling at three dollars equal, if not superior, to the sample shown by this firm at double the price, | agree tomake a ; resent of the article to the person examining. The spring clasp is nonew thing and costs) but little. I have on some of my albums a much later invention of clasp—infinitely superior. The reference to the “five cent table” is futile. Any person of common sense knows that prices fluctuate, and that some de- scriptions of toys and fancy goods which were sold last year at high prices may this season be offered at half the figure. Goods also which may remain in stock a few years depreciate in value and are sold at a sacrifice.

If the English tariff rates on liquors, to- bacco, and tea be applied to our present con- sumption of those articles, the sum of $25,- 759,000 would be raised. It may, however be said that this additional taxation would lessen consumption, and thus decrease the revenue This would be true in regard to tobacco, of which we cOnsume more than the English pee use. But let us suppose that our to- acco users would pay :s much per head as those of Great Britain; that is to say $1.30 perhead, Then the tobacco tax would give us $5,500,000. And let us suppore that our people paid as mach per head for liquor taxes as those of Great Britain, viz., $3.50 per head. The total proceeds of that tax would still be $15,000,000. The additional duty on tea wonld not so raise the price as to greatly lessen the consumption, but let us say $2,000,000 for tea, which wou!d be about the same per head as is paid in Great Pritain, We have then: i as nua $ 5,500,000 ets aks bp eae 2,000,000 RAO neste . 15,000,000 22,500,000 This is about $4,000,000 more than Mr. Cartwright raised; and he levied taxes upon 80 mary articles that their names fill a dozen pages in the statutes, le oo The Rival Nations. Germany has a population of forty-five millions and France of thirty-eight. She has seven millions of workmen, and four and a half millions of horse power, tixed as well as locomotive. France has one mil- lion less of horse power. Neither country produces enongh of food for their popula- tsons; they have to import necessaries of life, though on a relatively smaller scale than England. The sugar in- dustry, from beet, is very floyrishing in Germany, and she exports, thanks to bounties, one-half of what she produces. The latter in 1871-2, was 14,000 tons; in 1881, 318,000. Distilling is very important. Germany possesses 10,000 dis- tilleries; sincg 1830, the preduetion of alcohol from rye, beets and potatoes, &c , has doubled, and the exports are eight times more than she comsumes. Franceis her largest customer, as the rye alcohol, having no repulsive flavor, is employed to fortify wines, and to make cognac and fine champegne, Bat the Germans, instead of seniing rye alcohol to be flavored with the brandy made from grapes at Cognac, im- port that brandy now to make cognac them- selves, and then export the’ real Stilton also. Beer, especially from Bavaria, has sup- pressed French brewers; the latter relied on ‘‘substitutes’ for malt and hops, while the former use only natural materials. There will soon be as many German beer saloons in Paris as in Munich and Borlin put together. But small French wines commence to share the fate of French brewed beers. In cotton industry, Ger- many has as many spindles, five millions, as France, while England has four times the number of both put together, Krefeld, by her mixtures of cotton and silk, commands the markets of the world, and has revolutionized the trade of Lyons. The woollen industry ,of Germany is import- ant, so is her paper industry; in the latter, her competitors are England and Australia. Respecting taste in manufactured goods, France shuts her eyes to the immense strides in this important art that England and Germany have made; they so press on her heels as to gall her sides. German jewellery not only can compete with France abroad, but actually has a footing in Paris. In clothing Germany that formerly laid in stockjfrom France now manufactures such at home. France remains as ‘headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile,’ in producing for special classes’ instead of for the masses. Hence why she is being left. behind in the race. Partners in German firms settle down in Paris and London and represent thus directly their own houses, and in the transport of goods, they patronise their own carrying agencies and steamers. In the matter of emigration for every 100,000 of the popu- lation of France only. two persons emi- grate; in Italy the ratio is 98; in Germany, 145, and in England, 315. In foreign parts France is thus naturally left out am the cold. And when Frenchmen do emi- grate they avoid their own colonies. From 1878 to 1881, the emigration of French citizens was 15,018; of this total 197 went to Canada and the rest tothe United States. This is a bad outlook for ‘the Congo, Madagascar and Tonkin. * * ee a a Oe SHIP NEWS. OF CHARLOTTETOWN. ENTERED.
