E. 1.

Another question: Why is it that Mr. Me- Kechnie issued such a flattering circular of thanks to the train and engine men for their energy and preseverance in getting through the snow-dritts a few weeks ago? It must be that he is trying to eurry favor with the men whom he accused of being drunk two winter's ago, When they did their utmost to get to Tignish on account of a blinding snow-storm, were completely blocked up before reaching Alberton. The efforts made on that occasion were superhuman. The conductor walked, or at least started, and lost his way several times. ‘Lhe two drivers were out all night, and next day when they got through they were accused of being drunk by the same man that now sends this famous circular abroad. The ras cality of Mr. McKechnie and his noble and numerous army of Grits should be punished by their immediate removal, and capable officers appointed, whom the public can rely on for sately performing their duties.

DEAR SrR,—In these times of irregular mail service this little community of ours is some- what devoid of news, and I have, therefore, taken the liberty of begging you to allow me a short space in your valuable columns to ask afew questions pertaining to the Railway, which several of us here are desirous of being enlightened upon. We are very anxious to know what has been the result of ‘he investi- gations with respect to the accident which oceurred at or near York Station the other night. We, of course, presume that inquiries have been instituted; for we could not fora moment dare to imagine that the thoroughly business- like Nabobs at the head of affairs on the Rail- way would, in the interests of the travelling public, allow such a case of apparently gross neglect, on the part of the employees, to go uninvestigated. We have seen the compli- mentary order issued by Mr. McKechnie to the employees expressing unbounded satisfac- tion at the wonderful ability and promptitude they displayed in contending with snow drifts | and other natural montrosities; and, as we did not see a like order issuedcomplimenting thém on the great facility with which they appear to be able to charge into and smash up cars, we begin to seriously hope that a straightfor- ward, impartial inquiry has taken, or is about take place, and that we shall see the result published. We ought not to be surprised that such acci- dents should oceur, if we are to believe what we hear. Dame Rumor has it that, on the 8th of this month, the Conductor of the train from Souris to Charlottetown left this train at Marie and remained to indulge in the pisca- torial art ; that on the return of the cars at night the ‘‘hands” were particularly ‘‘iestive,” not to say intoxicated; that the train was stopped close here, and although within a short distance of two stations, the conductor, whoever he might have been, did not think it necessary to send notice of the delay to either station agent. Consequently the train with the mails remained where she had stopped until Sunday afternoon, without our being able to assign any cause for the non-arrival! of the mails, and it not been for the report of a passenger there appeared to be a likelihood of the agents beiug kent in perfect ignorance of the whereabouts of the cars. Had there happened to have been another train on the line there would have been a great possibility of another accident similar to the: one at York oceurring, and what can persons, who have seen how railways are conducted in other parts of the world think of the management ? These questions are naturally asked because we are sometimes in the habit of recklessly (but I can scarcely now say fearlessly) risking our lives and those of our wives and families by travelling on this railway, and we should like to know t!..6 in the event of our being suddenly ushered into eternity by the per- formance of one of those little dramas if there would be any investigation as to the cause of | our leaving this world, or shall posterity look back with kind remembrance to the fact that we had the honor of being thoroughly dis- sected in an accident on the P. E. I. Railway through the playfulness and sublime negli- gence of the employees, and that no inquiry was thought necessary after the above men- tioned honor had been conferred upon us. Somes time ago explosive rail signals for use in stormy weather were in vogue; but in these times it 1s thought sufficient to send a man with a square foot of red | nnting a few yards from a disabled train in « snowstorm, just to keep up appearances, and to comply with the stringent bye-laws (?) laid down for such emergencies, and the other preventive to acci- dent is not used; but, on the other hand, trains are allowed to charge into each other in order that some of the large surplus fund of public money now in the Exchequer may be expend- ed for the repairs of cars, engines, etc., etc. We don’t mind paying for the innocent amusements of the Railway employes, but we should like to see them indulge in less expen* sive sport (both to our limbs and our pockets), and will very respectfully suggest fishing, as the conductors seem to enjoy it, and it has the [SLAND, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1879. NO. 521, merit of being inexpensive. If they will take kindly to this we can keep them at it, and employ other means of getting our mails a little more regularly delivered than they are at present.

Ihave chewed tobacco for the last forty years, without stopping (ex- cepting meal time), and although it ts of- fensive to my neighbors, 1 think they might put up with the echo, stench and disagree- ableness of my spitting on any board in my own pew. (1 forgot to mention that I at- tend St. James.) My bad habit was hinted te, both by the members and the minister; but my brains are so muddled by the long use of black strap and nigger head that I do not know how to act. Do you think it right or advisable for me to remove to some retired part of the church, invest in five shingles and some sawdust, or continue my pastime to the annoyance of my church neighbors?

SCRAPS, __ Ci’town, Feb. 18, 1879. tail ‘lei Loarning to Save. thing to be learned by a boy or young man, or anybody else having the least ambition to become a useful member of society, is the habit of saving. No mat- ter if a boy or girl has wealthy parents, each should learn to save, if for no other reason than that riches are well known to “‘take to themselves wings and fly away.” Few are so well todo as to be secure against poverty and want. The children of the wealthy classes are often miserably poor; while men of large means have commenced life without other advantages than habits of industry coupled with the disposition to save. It is especially important that the children of people in moderate cireum- stances and of the poor should learn to take care of the money they get. A boy who is earning 2s., 3s., or more a day, should manage to save a portion of it if pes- sible. Jf he can lay by only 1s. a week, let man save that. It doesn’t amount to much it is true, but itis worth saving; it is better saved then wasted—better saved than thrown away for tobacco or beer or any other worthless or useless article or object. But the best thing about it is that the boy who saves 52s. a year on a very meagre salary acquires a habit of taking care of his money which will be of the utmost value tohim. The reason why working men, as a class do not get ahead faster, are not more independent, is that they have never learn- ed to save their earnings. It matters not a great deal whether a man receives a salary of five shillings a day or a pound, if he gets rid of it all during the week, so that there is nothing left on Saturday night. he will wot rey eS ttle mPSse not get rich very rapidly. He will never have much ahead. But the individual whe receives five shillings per day and is able to save a shilling, or the one getting a pound who is careful to lay by five shillings, is laying up something fora rainy day. Young people who expect to labor with their hands for what they may have of this world’s goods, who have no ambition or wish to become professional men, Ofiice-holders, or speculators, should by all ineans acquire habits of economy— learn to save. So surely as they do this, so surely will they be able to accumulate, so surely will they be in a situation to ask no special fayors. Every man wants to learn to look out for himself and rely upon himself. Every man needs to feel that he is the peer of every other man, and he can- not do it if he is penniless. Money is power, and those who have it exert a wider influence than the destitute. They are more independent. Hence it should be the ambition of every young man to acquire, and to this he must learn to save. This is the first lesson to be learned, and the youth who cannot master it will never have any- thing. He will be a dependent. re A case has occurred in the Episcopal Church of Canada which seems to be excit- ing some comment because it is not under- stood, According to the old arrangement for the election of Bishop for the See of Montreal, that See enjoyed the dignity of being the Metropolitan See of the Do- minion. Under the new arrangement, in virtue of which Dean Bond was elected Bishop by the Synod of Montreal, the dio- cese agreed to forego the Metropolitan honor, and the Provincial Synod deter- mined by Canon that the House of Bishops should elect one from among themselves to be Metropolitan. This honor has fallen upon the Bishop of Fredericton, as the senior bishop of the country, and the whole proceeding has been in strict accordance with the law enacted for that purpose. There is no conflict between the Royal patent and the ecclesiastical prerogative, and, therefore, nothing to go to law about. The whole proceeding is that of a purely voluntary Church, invested with the power of self-government. ———_~<~2--.——_—_ WE sell the best Silk Hats that can be made here at J, Hobbs’ Factory.
