The direct heir of the dead prince is Ernest Auguste, Duke of Cumberland, and by courtésy King of Hanover. The duke, however, has inherited his father’s hatred for the King of Prussia, who annexed Hanover in puvishment for sid ing with Austria in the war of 1806. The King of Prussia is now Emperor of Germany, and the arbi- ter of the Brunswick succession. stated that he will never consent to the Duke of Cumberlanud’s accession to the throne unless the latter formally recants his auti-Prussian sentiments. prove an effectual bar to Duke Ernest’s hopes, and in that case a curious compli- cation will arise. of the dead prince, upon whom by Bruns- wick law the regency can devolve, is the Duke of Cambrtdge It is a serious question whether English law would permit the Duke of Cambridge to reign in a German duchy, and the fact that he is the commander-in-chief of the British forces tends still further to com- plicate affairs. Meanwhile, the council of regency will carry on the government provisionally. The Diet will soon as- semble. A majority of the German papers express the opinion that Bismarck desires the absorption of the dukedom by Prussia. The principality of Oels, be- longing to the late duke, will be forth- with attached to Prussia as crown estate. Emperor William has conferred the com- mand of the troops in Brunswick upon Gen. Hilgers, who has issued an address calling upon the people to await with confidence, the decision of the imperial governmeut. The Domirion Alliance at Work. A very large and enthusiastic meeting of the Ailiance was held last evening. The members were fully resolved to redeem their two promises given before the clection, namely; (1st) To assist by all means in their power in carrying cut the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act ; and (2nd) To move in the direction of complete pro- hibition. It was felt that the first thing to be done was to obtain funds, and a number of volunteers undertook to make a thorough canvass for subscriptions.

It is not uninteresting just now, after the polling in Charlotte own, and the counties lof Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, to review the remarkable history of the above ct, and to state the present condition of the canvass throughout the Dominion. The act, as our readera know, w:s framed n IS7S8, in partial response to the earnest snd widely-expressed desire of t!e temper- ince pe ple of the Dominion for the evact- ment of a total prohibitory law. It gocs iuto force upon a majority vote in Its Tavor in any county orcity. The first poll under the act was ia Fredericton in 1878, and th | last recorded polls took place in tie capital } ! of P. E.

Of these but 7 have proved adverse to the act, two in Quebec, four in Ontario, and one in New Brunswick, while in 40 contests the act has been sustained. These contests were distributed as follows: 12 in Nova Scotia, 12 in New Brunswick, 6 in P. E. Island, 2 in Quebec, 6 in Ontario and 2 in Manito'a. Five of these 40 have been uvon the repeal of the acts, and in no case has the repeal vote succeeded. Forty- seven contests, forty victories and ne repeals afford a remarkable index of the pro- hibition sentiment of the people of Canada. In the earlier history of the act it is noticeable that the voting was dore mostly in the maritime provinces, while in Ontario and Quebec but little movement was made in the way of bringing the act toa vote, and what was made proved mostly adverse to it. Now, however, these provinces, having waited until the constitutionality of the acv has been fully determined, have set to work, and so far have surprised the country with uniform success and immense majori- ties. Oxford led in March with a majority of 775, Arthabaska, a French county in Quebec, followed in July with a majority of 1,252, Halton reaffirmed the act in Sep- tember by nearly three times the majority originally given, Simcoe came next with 1,154 majority, Stanstead, in Quebec, with over 200 majority, and now, latest of all, the three united counties of Stormont, | Dundas and Glengary sweep the field with | 1,700 majority. | The next six months will see a poll taken jin about 30 more counties in Ontario, in a } large nembe; of counties in Quebec, and in The in- now that an almost clean 'dications are | sweep will be made by the act in all the ; . | taken. mittee was appointed to make arrangements | for sending a petition from all parts of | quentia counties in which the vote is soon to be The Toronto Mail, by far the most in- il paper in Canada to-day, says ina recent editorial :— ‘* There has been nothing more wonder- ful in the social history of Canada than the growth of public sentiment in favor of probibition.

Lt was found that the house was connected with a neighbouring hotel by a ‘‘dead” private telegraph wire. The wire had been crossed with the electric light wire. The ‘‘dead” wire was connected with the metallic roof on the tenement house, which in turn was connected by a tin water conductor with the water pipe leading to the sink. When the dynamo machine of the elecric light company was in operation the current passed over the ‘‘dead” wire to the tin roof and thence to the water pipe. ei Tue Committee for the Bazaar, in aid of the Prince Edward Island Hospital. are requested to meet in the bagement parlor of the Y.

Sin,—In the suit against White, tried the other day at Summeiside before a jury, Chief Jastice Palmer presiding, it was de- cided that to give liquor on the a 'v, and where a Scott Act elec ion is being held, is a violation of the law. This verdict, whether vewed from as trictly yal or a common sense standpoint, seems just and reasonab'e. But it is not very lony since it was deeidedjin the Muttart-McIutyre case, that itis not unlawful for agents of cand:- dates and others, to give liquor to electors at the time of an election, so long as it is the custoin of the country. In both these cases, the evident design of those who gave the liqver was to influence the voters, and upfortunately, it is only too well known, that giving liquor freely immediately before or on the day of an election, has a most potent influence over tho minds of some electors. Itis, therefore, impcrtant that everybody should know what corrupt treat- ing during an election really means. Believing that the verdict rendered ip the White case will be geverally endorsed by all law abiding citizens, from one end of the country to the other, i remain, Yours etc., OBSERVER.

The Park Corner Debating and Literary Association intend opening their debates about the first November. William Ramsay spcuds these long even- ings by canvassing for the Toronto Mail, a paper which is getting very thickly cir- culated round here. Our agent tock a trip through Wilmot Valley where he obtained some ten or fifteen new subscribers. A new store is about to be opened here under the firm of McKinnon & Campbell, merchants of Summerside, who formerly belonged here. No doubt those gentlemen will do well here, as they are moderate in their figures, and pay a good price for their produce, which is very p'easing to the farmer, A large number of the young men here are about to leave for the States. Fishing here has been a failure; the cause being so much windy weather. JEROME. Oct. 14, 1884. Cured by Faith. EFFICACY OF PRAYER. IN THE CASE OF A CON- SUMPTIVE. Cuicaco, ILz., Oet. 18.—The inhabitants ot Watertown, Wis., sre just at present greatly interested and excited over alleged faith cures by W. H. Buckley, harness maker, of Ne. 17 Quincy street, this city. Mr. Buckley has been mentioned fre- quently im the city papers as having per- formed miraculous cures by the laying on of hands and prayer. Last evening he began holding meetings in the Baptist church at Watertown, and his first meeting developed such surprise that it was made the subject of special despatches to the Chicago papers. The most noticeable in- stance was the cure of Mise Ellen Buehlee of Waterloo, Wis. Consumption had so reduced her strength that she had to be carried tu the altar. The harness maker placed his hand on her head, prayed for her ard with her for a few minutes, and, at the conclusion, she walked with a firm apd steady step to her seat. Miss Buehlee de- clares she is entirely cured. Ex AMINER, * oct BER eS MORRIS & IRHBLAN DS NEW IMPROVED PATERT EIGHT-FLANGE FIRE-PROOF SAFt.
