| | Confederation in Newfoundland. The correspondent, at St. John’s, of the Montreal Gazette, The term of the present Parliament will expire in 1889, and a general election must take place in November.of that year, and they are of opinion that it will be time enough then to submit the question of Confederation and the terms to the people at the polls, thus giving them ample time for deliberation. . Most of the supporters of Confederation are now inclined to concur in this view, though at first there seemed to be many objections to such a lengthened delay. For my own part, I am now of opinion that the delay referred to will be highly favorable to the cause of union; and that had there been an effort made tu carry it by a *‘ rush ” it would have been writes :— resisted and Confederation might have been summarily rejected. Time _ is now secured for enlightening the public mind on _ the whole question and meeting and refuting the objec- tions raised. The amount of ignorance, here regarding the whole question 1s almust inconceivable, and the strength of blind, unreasoning prejudices and absurd misconceptions prevalent among certain classes could hardly be credited. It has been the policy of the anti-Confeder- aje party, since the decisive victory they obtained in 1869, to prevent the very men- tion of the word confederation, and to de- nounce it as a wicked attempt to destroy the liberties of the peuple, which had been met and conquered once for all. Our lead- ing politicians, who fought in its favor, effaced the motto from their banners as_ be- ing for the time outside the range of practi- eal politics. A new generation has grown up to whom the idea of confederatien is strange and anfamiliar. They must be al- lowed time to understand the subject and acquire a knowledge of its bearings on their ewn Interests. Our isolation, our insular ideas and prejudices, our tendency to “heave a brick” at all strangers, our marvellous self-sufficiency arising from constantly ** measuring vurseives by ourselves,’ —all these are barriers in the way of confedera- tion which have to be overcome, and cannot be hastily removed. A great step has been gained by placing the question fairly be- fore our people and securing for it a thorough discussion. It was a mistake to let it lie dormant through so many years. The ferment has now been infused into the public mind, and though the consummation should not be reached immediately, New- foundiand will be brought nearer to its which exists ** manifest destiny.” One of the greatest benefits to this country of union with Canada would be the fresh impulse that would be given to the intellectual, com- mercial, industrial and social life of ita people through identification with a more advanced,and progressive community. Our insular ideas, our antiquated methods, our narrow views of great questions, our slavish subjection to the past, would be gradually evere me when we found ourselves mem- bers of the young and growing Dominion of Canada, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and having a greater destiny before it. Gur Book Table. The May number of Harper’s Magazine, No. 456, in this series of monthly issues, has some twenty-seven portraits of world renowned veterans of literature, which as a comparative study of facial conformity to intellect is glowing with interest. The illustrated second paper on a winter in Algeria is full of instructive information. Dr. Lansde!l’s Russian convicts in the salt mines of lletsk is a terribie picture of man’s inbumanity to man, but it has its moral of satisfaction to the Anglo-Saxon in that by such contrasts with his own priviliges and assured freedom, his own citizenship is exalted There are several gC od stories, some fairly good pvetry and abundant etceteras to justify a full commendation of this May number of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, ; ublished by Harper & Brothers of New York City. A publication has come to hand with the title of ‘‘ America, a Journal of to-day.” It seems to be distinetively devoted to Ameri- can ideas of American institutions and ambitions, and no doubt there is need enough for a fairer criticism of what is considered wrong, and a more fearless showiag of what is known to be right. If ‘* America” succeeds as well as this first number augurs, it will breed more amity, level more prejudices, and establish more facts that would be possible in a less special constructed and conducted weekly joursal. It is issued by the American Publishing Co., of Chicago, Illinois. The second number of vol. xarx of the Domestic Monthly, which is an illustrated and valuable magazine of fashion, literature ani the fine arts comes for May in its taste- ful covers and seems to be regarded as sine qua non, by its lady readers, a fact that does not surprise us in the least. It is published at 853 Broadway, New York City. —_— + <p - <i -- Parliamentary Notes. **aAN IRREPARABLE MISFORTUNATE.” *The House was, a few days ago, discuss- ing a Bill to amend the election law. Hon. Mr. Thompson explained it pro: ides for the loss of the ballot box, but it contains no provision in case of the loss of the lists. It says that if the ballot box is lost the list should be used, but there is no provision where not only ballot box but the list also is lost. Mr. Davies(P. E. 1.) This is a very im- portant provision. I nearly lost my elec- tion, two years ago in consequence of that. Mr. Thompson —That would have been an irreparable misfortune. PIERS IN P. E. ISLAND, Sir Hector Largevin, in answer to Mr. Davies, said that an engineer was sent from time to time to look after the piers in P. E. Isiand. The wharves and piers were under the direction of the Minister of Marine, but repairs were made by the Public Works Department. Queen Victoria is the first English reign- ing sovereign who has visited Florence since the time of the Crusades, when Richard I. passed through the city. For some years the widow of Charles the Pre- tender lived in Florence and two years ago the l’rincess Mary of Cambridge passed the winter there. But it is not often that Florence sees much of English royalty, <r o > very easy for a man to be brave en it comes to nominati minating himself fcr Death of Captain Morpeth. Tur New Zealand Herald announces the death of Captain J. B. Morpeth, of the Ponsenby Naval Volunteers. The Herald Says: “'The deceased gentleman was born in Canada, and came in 1859 from Prince Edward {sland in the ship Prince Edward, his father, the late Mr. H.eD. Morpeth, having broughta party of immigrants from that Island, The de- ceased, onthe outbreak of the Thames gold- fields, went to the Thames, where he engaged in store keeping. He afterwards removed to Auckland, where he has been for many years in business as a sharebroker and mining agent. Captain Morpeth has always taken a lively interest in volunteer matters. He served in the Auckland volunteers in the Waikato campaign, and got the New Zealand medal. On the tormation of the Ponsonby Naval Volunteers, he was elected captain, and has always been a favor- tte with his men and with his brother officers. Deceased leaves a widow (the daughter o Captain Lambert, of the Military Train) and one son, also four brothers and three sisters,to mourn their loss.” _—_—om + - Eloping Under Difficulties. An Atlanta, Ga., dispatch says: Sanford Adams is in West Point on a pecular mis- sion. His entire body is filled with bird- shot which he came to have picked out by a West Point doctor. Several months ago Adams paid court to the daughter of the notorious Dink Buckalew, whe lived on the banks of the Chattahooche River across from Franklin. Buckalew was hiding from the officers, Adams joined in pursuit of him, and thus it was that he became ac- quainted with thedaughter. Marriage was proposed and the young couple started out on horseback for a preacher. The girl’s father became aware of what was going on ind intercepted the couple on the road. They put their horses at full speed, but be- fore they had got out of range of Dink he had put about one hundred birdshot into Adams. For three months Adams has been enjoying his honeymoon with his skin full of holes, and it was not until this morning that he determined to have them extracted. Now that the father-in-law is confined in an Alabama jail, Adams feels safe in having his skin repaired. mens A + ee What Our Vicrs Cest, Few drinking men appreciate the amount they expend annually. On Saturday night last a carpenter was complaining of the hard times. Being a moderate drinker he was asked if he had any idea what liquor and tobacco cost him annually, to which he replied that he had no idea, but it did not cost him much, as he was a moderate drinker. Being pinned down to the sum paid by him during the past week, he re- plied that, having been working, the week was lighter than usual, On Monday he expended 15 cents in tobacco, On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday he did not drink. On Thursday he expended 25 cents, Friday 30 cents, and on Saturday 50 cents in liquor, laying in another 15 cent supply of tobacco. A computation on the above basis shows that the money thus uselessly spent would, if saved, purchase at the end of the year: 3 barrels of flour, 100 pounds of sugar, 10 pounds of tea, 1 box of raisins, 13 pounds currants, 50 pounds oatmeal, 5 gallons syrup, 40 bars soap, 10 pounds starch. 4 boxes biscuits, 1 bushel dried apples, 25 pounds prunes (best), 1 jar mus- tard, 4 pounds assorted spices, haking pow- der and cream tarter, 50 pounds granulated sugar, 5 bags potatves, 1 barre apples, 2 quarters beef, 1 ham, 2 pounds coffee. Be- sides which, he could treat his family to a daily paper every day in the year, and have 85 cents left with which to purchase candies for the children. ——E———~ Europe's Model Prince. It is not easy to match in the history of any European dynasty the strong and fine aspects of the picture painted for us by the reports from Berlin. -Americans remember with pride the firmness and resolution with which Gen. Grant held back the fatal disease with one hand, while with the other he worked painfully towards the completion of his Memoirs. Europe’s model prince and the knightliest and the noblest figure which royalty has produced in centuries, presents, perhaps, an even more splendid example of the way a great man can face death, coming as it does in the most miserable and repellant form, and ata cruelly inopportune time. Frederick | sits propped up in bed in a chamber where the lamps, with pastilles kept burning constant- ly, do not suffice to purify the nauseous atmosphere. By his side is always one doctor, and more often two, and the tube in his throat is being taken out, cleaned, and replaced at intervals of from 3 to 12 minutes all day and the most of the night. fe is sick unto death, as well with head- aches and fever, as from the effects of con- finement, and the terrible overhanging fact ot the impending dissolution, Yet be- tween his periods of swooning from sheer exhaustion, he sits and works laboriously or praying only that his feeble hold of life may be maintained until his task is finished. The task which the dying man thus struggles against fate to complete is nothing lesg than a new consti- tion for Prussia. We have in al] history no loftier or more inspiring illustration of what kingly duty may mean, One feels that it is good to have lived in the same epoch with such aman, He may or may not live long enough to promulgate his broad scheme of reform, or even to see the new coinage which the mint officials are striving to get ready for next week, but he will have ruled long enough to furnish an apology for the survival of Kingship into these closing years of the nineteenth century. Nor is it possible to believe that the lesson of his blameless life and trebly heroic death will be lost in the end ypon the German peeple. England is better and richer to-day for even the legend of the remote and half mythical Arthur's virtues. Just now it seems as if Frederick’s own subjects were wanting in appreciation of his great qualities and of the lustre _whica his character throws on them and their race. They are for the moment bitten with the itch for action and glory, and their imagination turns to the young man who stands on the steps of the throne with his simple and pure minded father, of whom it is toi on authority that when Dr. Mac- kenzie, puzzled by some symptoms of his hereditary disease, asked him as politely «3 he could, whether he had ever had any of the maladies incident upon dissipation, he | replied in all candor, that he had been virtuous in his youth and had beenan- absulutely faithful husband. cat Omen ane.

The Montreal correspondent of the Week, of Toronto, writes :— ‘*T had the pleasure of visiting Mr. R. Harris’ studio last week; he is an artist, I believe, in whom Torontonians feel much interest. But, of course, one has no need to specify thus. Mr. Harris has at present on view his portrait of Dr. Norman, which, in a few days, is to be taken across the road and placed in the Art Gallery. We have in this portrait some excellent work of a most excel- lent workman. The face is indeed a tempting one to paint, with its strong clearly marked features, yet calm and dignified refinement. The artist’s treatment evinces at once strength and sensibility. You must often have remark- ed that subtle differences which, nevertheless, very truly exists between the physiognomies of teachers of different creeds. Dr. Norman’s face is essentially that of aa Anglican clergy- man, and the indescribable something which makes it such it in this portrait. Mr. Harris studied for a time at the Slade School of Art, in London, but he soon left it, like all enterprising English artists, to work in Paris. Here he entered the studio of Bon- nat, the great French portraitist. Now he comes back to us with all the fresh strength and enthusiasm, and unconventionality, that animate the greatest of modern schools. A delightful absence of pose, an earnestness at once honest and simple, characterizes Mr. Harris’ work. We hear of the gilded Carolus Durand’s receptions, we look at his latest work on exhibition—‘*‘Andromede,” a comely model, but nothing else—and we smile. In contrast must rise before us the ‘‘Angelus” and its starving author, and then does it ap- pear once again how, for artists’ lungs, one whiff of air from Fontainbleau is worth many an hour passed in aristocratic faubourgs; one rough day under the open sky, many a night in pink and white salons. All this that I say I felt in Mr. Harris’ studio, his rough little picture-lined workshop, and I felt too, we must do all we can to keep such an artist with us. Butdon’t for an instant imagine his path is prickly like poor Millet’s; he will doubtless have to be more on his guard against rose leayes than stones. Mr. Harris has, of course, a number of por- traits besides that of Dr. Norman. A bald- headed, silent-looking, wrinkled, old man he calls the ‘Cardinal.’ ‘A French Peasant Woman’ several exhibitions have possessed. But more interesting than these, quite a little gem, is the figure of a young woman playing the organ. She turns her back to us, the pose is delightfully easy, while the dusky green o her dress is simply charming in tone. An- other poetical Jittle thing represents an old werkman seated aon the chestnut-covered ground in mid-forest. Here the reds aud browns are deep and rich, and the bare trunks, the tired creature, and the stilly air murmur ‘autumn’ I have hardly the right to speak of a certain picture not yet finished, but yet what I saw was so good that lam tempted to give you some idea of it. The village tenor is making his debut, he sings out gallantly, while the lady aceompanist at the harmonium contem- plates his performance with pugzled doubt. Especially happy is the latter's expression, wa vraie trouvaille. A Little Anecdote. The Crown Prince of Prussia has carried to excess the old Hohenzollern custom of giving its cadets a military training. When- ever he visits his children, his eldest son, who will be six next month, has been schooled to give the word of command, whereupon the two smaller brothers, aged five and four, range themselves beside him, and all give the father a soldierly salute. The other day the Crown Prince was work- ing, when his attention was drawn to the fact that the sentries outside his room were presenting arms repeatedly in an in- explicable way—a thing which German soldiers, be it explained, do in such a pre- emptory and vehement manner that the action can be heard for a considerable distance. He was puzzled at this, went out and discovered that his little boys were having some fun passing up and down the corridor enjoying the pleasure of being saluted. The Crown Prince said, ‘I must teach you that sentries don’t exist for little princes, but princes for sentries.’ He then called for a cane and in the presence of the sentries gave the tiny fellows a sharp beat- ing. It ought to be added that this inci- dent of a spartan education is much admired in Berlin, ? = ’ Tur Man Wuo Lives Loneest.—Says the Chicago News: Search the world over and you will find that the long-lived man is gen- erally the man who is not robust; he has had to skin along all his life close to the wind, fighting shy of physical exertion and avoiding those seductive employments commonly known as manly sports and exercises. If we were conducting a life insurance company, instead of running a high grade family newspaper, we should accept as, tirst class risks those only who were either consumptives or dyspeptics. anita Yor should see the boys clothing (so cheap that you cannot afford to lose time in making) at John MeLeod & Co’s, —sheriff’s Sale.
