This ) document set forth the manner in which the ‘Pro:erpine’ foundered; it was artfully made up of facts enough to deceive a care- Jess listener; but when Wylie read it over to them, he slurred over certain parts, which he took care, also, to express in lan- guage above the comprehension’ of such men, Of course they assented eagerly to what they did understand, and signed the stutement conscientiously. So Wylie and his three men were shipped ou board the ‘‘Beadicea,” bound for Liver- pool, in Old England, while the others sailed with Captain Slocum for Nautocket, | in Now England. | The ‘Boadicea’ was a clipper laden with hides and a miscellaneous cargo. For “seventeen days she flew before a southerly |. ‘gale, being on her best sailing point, and “after one of the shortest passages she had the Mersey. It wanted but one hour to daylight, the tide was flowing; the pilot ‘What do you draw!’ he asked of the ‘Fifteen feet, barely,’ was the reply, They passed a large bark, with her top- sails backed. ‘Ay,’ remarked the pilot, ‘she has waited four hours in the twenty-four that such a ‘What is she? An American liner?’ asked Wylie, peering through the gloom, ‘No,’ said the pilot; ‘she's an Australian ship. She’s the ‘Shauncn’ from Sydney.’ The mate started, looked at the man, then at the vessel. Twics the ‘Shannon’ had thus met him, as if to satisfy him that ‘his object had been attained, and each time ‘but a silent accomplice.

Ashe hurried to the railway station he tried to recollect the hour at which the early train star‘ed; but his confused and excited mind refused to perform the fune- tion of memory. The ‘Shannon’ dazed At the railway station he found that a train had started at 4 a. m., and there was nothing until 7.30. This check sobered him a little, and he went back to the docks; he walked ont to the farther end of that inoble line of berths, and sat down on the water. He waited an hour; it was six o'clock by the great dial at St. George's Dock. His eyes were fixed on the ‘Shan- non,’ which was moving slowly up the river; she came abreast to where heeat. The The clock struck the half hour; a boat left the side of the vesrel « and made straight for the steps near where he was seated; a tall, noble-looking man sat in the stern-sheets beside the coxswain ; he was put ashore, and after exchanging few words with the boat’s crew, he mount- ed the steps which led him to Wylie’s side, followed by one uf the sailora who carried a portman ‘eau. He stood for a single moment on the quay, and stamped his foot on the broad stones ; then, heaving a deep sigh of satis- faction, he murmured, ‘Thank God "’, He turned toward Wylie. ‘Can you tell me, my man, at what hour the first train starts for London ?’ ‘There is a slow train at 7.30, and an express at 9.’ Great George Street, Nov, 14.

LARGE EXCESS OF HOMESTEFADS AND PRE- EMPTIONS — AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCE- MENT. i | The St. John Sun remarks that whatever the party ‘‘organs,’’ for purely political political motives, may wiite as to what they style the shameful and complete failure of the Northwest lands policy and admin- istaation, the records continue to show a gratifying and wonderful increase in the business done. The nuo ber of homestead and pre-emption cntries for 1882 is very ‘preat and tremendously in excers of those ‘for 1881. In that yer the to-al entries in ‘feven offices were 2,753 homesteads and (1,647 pre-emptions, with a tote] average of 702,854. In 18824 single office, that at Regina, shows 2,268 h m-s eacs and 1,843 pre-emptions, and the acres covered amounted to 657,760. That is, one office ip 1882 did nearly as much business as did seven in the precedi:g year. And yet the people are asked to belicve that more set- tlers are leaving the country than are enter- ing it, and that the Government policy is a total failure. The following important announcement is made respecting the policy of the Minister of Interior regarding the North- west lands. The southe:n reserve, between the Canadian Pacific Railway belt and the international boundry, comprising some four miliion acres, withdrawn from settle- ment in July, 1882, is to be opened for homestead and pr -emption entries from tha Ist Jannary, 1884 Although these lands have attained very considerable value, the Government has not increased the price of pre-emptions, desiring to give settlers the full benefit of the enhanced value of the land. This part «f the country should prove very attractive to settlers, being not ouly intersected by the branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but for sume distance by the Manitoba and South Western Railway. The latter road it is expected will be rapidly extended to the mile belt. The «fiect of this policy is that the even numbered sections eleng and on both sides of the Canadian Pacific Railway, withdrawn from settlement in March, 1882, is to be re- opened for homestead and pre-emption entries from the Ist January next under the terms respecting residence provided by the Dominion Lands Act and subject to tho conditions of cultivation of one fourth of the homestead quarter-section within three years. The price. of pre emption in this reserve has not been increased, although from their proximity to the railway they are specially attractive from their additional value. The terms on which this reserve is thrown open are most liberal. The reserve in connection with Regina town site is also opened; the lands therein are to be sold at pubfic auction in April next at the upset price of $5 per. acre, the purchase money payable in cash at the time of sale All lands are to be sold to bone fide homesteaders only. and not more than one-quarter section (160 acres) is to be sold to any person, They are to be’ subject to the same conditions respecting residence and cultivation as homesteads in the mile belt. On fulfilling which conditions within three years from the date of purchase, the settler is entitled toa rebate of half the purchase money and a patent for his land. If he fails to carry ont the conditions, the Governor General in Coune:] may order the cancellation of the sale snd the return of the purchese money Withont interest to the purchaser. These charges and smeliora- tions will effect a great benefit in the con- ditions of homesteaders and must tend to promote the rapid setilement of the country. ——~om © The Dorchester Penitentiary. SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRESPNT STATE OF THR PRISON—CONVICTS WHO ARE KE FORMED, The Chignecto Post prints a long article on the Dorchester Penitentiary. There are at present 130 convicts in the prison, only five of whom are women, Since the new penitentiary was opened, and the con- victs in the different prisons in the Mari- time Provinces removed to it, many im- provements have been made to the build- ings and the grounds. A reservoir, which supplies the prison with water, has just heen competed, It has a capacity of 200,- 000 gallons, and has an elevation of 115 feet above the penitentiary buildings. A farm of 100 acres has been cleared up for sheep raising. The warden has now 150 sheep, which he expects will yield him next year 750 vounds of wool. Besides the keeping of the sheep there were raised on the farm last season 3,500 bushels of turnips, 1,200 bushels of potatoes and 130 tons of hay. The workshops are now complete. Regard- ing the order in the prison, Warden Bots- ford told the reporter:— “The worst class of men we have to deai with are those whe come from the slums of cities. The wharf rats and roughs we find almost incorrigible. The sight of soap and water is a punishment to them, Their personal habits are.bad, and we have great difficulty in making them keep themsel res clean and their cells in order, It requires unceasing vigilance on the part of theo officers to make them perform their dutise. ‘Do you think the system pursued tends to reform ?’ ‘In very many cases, 1 think it does, [| have met outside released convicts, who are doing well and L am sure will continue todoso.

No doubt some relapse into their former bad habits.” ‘‘What class of men generally reform! “The men who are easiest handled end most penitent aud most anxious to regain their former place in society, are known as ‘No. ~-Russell Square.’ It was the house of Arthur Wardlaw! driver to go to ‘No, —- Fenchurch street.’ Is was the office of Wardlaw and Son. Wylie took off his hat, rubbed his frowsy ns, for United hair, and gaped after the cab. | He entered another cab, and told the ‘stabbers’—men who in rum or in the heat of passion commit bodily harm. Once sober, they are sorry. Once oat, they don’t come back. With the class formerly mentioned it is different; the evil in which they are born and brought up seems a part of themselves, and they are at war with (To te Continued ) ‘* ‘ society,” ee ee ee ”
