Dr. Mackieson | paased away, without paiv, at 8 o’clock | this morning It is but a few days since | his tall, lithe figure and still buoyant | footsteps were scen and heard in our| streets. But the lamp of his life bad, in| four score years and ten, burned so low | that a short and not violent illness was! sufficient to put it out. John Mackieson, Surgeon, M. D., was born at Campsie, in Sterlingshire, Scot land, ou the 16th of October 1795; and he graduated at Glasgow University in the year 1815. On the loth of Novem- ber, ee when twenty-six years of | age—he landed at Charlottetown, and for! several years he has been one of “our oldest inhabitants.” He came a passenger from Liverpool in a ship com manded by the late Captain Dodd, father of Messrs. William and Thomas Dodd, aud fora year afterwards resided with Captain Dodd's family. He soon acquired a good practice, and began to take an interest in the infant Church of St. James’. His namo appears, together with the names of Alexander Birnie, (by John Stewart, of Movut Stewart, his Attorney,) John Stewart, junior, Ewen Cameron, William Cullen, John MeGill and Alexander Brown, attached to a parchment deed in which the said Alexander Birnie, ‘in his pious concern for God’s glory and the more decent celebration of the divine ordinances in Charlottetown” con- veyed, for the sum of five shillings ster- ling, to Dr. Mackieson and the others, as trustees, the land on which old St. James’ Church and Manse were built. This deed was dated ‘‘the 30th day of September, 1825.” Dr. Mackieson was one of the corperators of the church when it was incorporated in 1832, and for about fifty-five years he was au Elder, fulfilling the duties of that office up to the Sunday before last. Dr. Mackieson was for many years Medical Superintendent of the Prince Edward Island Hospital for the Insane. He took great interest in the institution, until the infirmities of age compelled him to relax his efforts in its beba!f, and to seek the ease and retirement for which he had provided by a long pro- fessional career aad careful habits. Ip late years he has found delight in his home and church, and in the study of literature. He was an ardent admirer of the poets, and was himself a pret of no mean ocrder His verses were smooth, and in many of them there was the glow of genuine poetry. On the 11th of February, 1830, Dr. Mackieson was united in matrimony to Matilda Brecken, youngest daughter of the late Honorable Ralph Brecken, who was at oue time Speaker of the House of Assembly of this Island: and had four children, two of whom—Mrs. Heury Palmer and Miss Mackieson—continue to reside in Charlottetown. The life and death of Dr. Mackieson was consistent with Christianity. The sufferiugs he assuaged in the practice of his noble profession, who cantell? The whole tone of his life was wholesome. His example asa man and citizen was one which might well be imitated. He lived longin the world. His end was peace. FOSS i EY ERE ae -_—°com + a The Caroiire Iclands GGFEMANY are pow at avout the Caroline Islands, and if Spvin were ouly stronger the world might see a great war about them. We are told that, oa the 23rd inst., forty thousand persons assembled on the Prado, of Madrid. with banners and other emblems, and that speeches were meade in Spanish and French de- bouncing Bismarck’s action in apnexing the Carolines. No insulting reference was, it appears, made to Germany, but the rights of Spain were fully proclaim- ed. The Caroline Islands have been nominally in possession of Spain for more than two hundred years, but they have pever been colonized or even occu- pied for trading-posts. They form a long loose cheiv, in the form of the arc of a great circle between the Pelew group and Marshall islands. Their number is variously stated at from thirty to sixty. Hogolu, the largest, lies far to the east, and is ascribed by some geo- graphers a length of ninety miles, with a breadth of forty, while others make its dimensions much legs. Yap, the pext in size, is at the western extremity and is about two-thirds as large. The others are mostly diminutive, some of them being mere rocks, They are of coralline formation, The inhabitants are a mixed race— partly Malay—partly Papuan, and are said to resemble the aborigines of the Philippines. From an economic point cf view, they seem to be hardly worth making a fuss about; and, seeing that England has not seized them, their strategic value cannot be vreat, SPAIN daggers AND arawa ee Would not our Y.

The report of the Home Mission Board of the Baptists of the Maritime Provinces, Convention, at Amherst, on the 25th inst. The following is an abstract of it :-— In presenting your seventh gnnual re- port, your Home Missien Board are thank- ful that the one word which indicate the history of the year is ‘‘advancement.”’ After the Rev. Isaiah Wallace had been laid aside by etckness your board appointed the Rev. A. H. Hayward, Rockland, N. 3. He was in the employ of the board till July. He labored in New Brunswick and did much to strengthen weak churches. Rev. Mr. Wailace was afterwards re-ap pointed, and is now doing good work. In April the Rev. D. G. McDonald was appointed general missionary, and has done much valuable work, chiefly in P. E. Island. SUPPLY OF PASTORS. Efforts to increase the sapply of ministers ee THE DAILY F& cen ne A Be ee a when believed that if this matter were properly brought before the churches, the contribn- tions would be raised in a few years to $40,- 000 or $50,000 a year. After considerable discussion the resolution was laid over to another session. —_—sm «+ The Chignecto Marine Railway Traffic Prospects. (St. John Telegraph.) Assuming, as the engineers say we safely may, that the proposed ship railway across the Chignecto isthmus can at a fair cost be constructed and make a practicable high- way for vessels with their cargoes, what are the chances for a remunerative traftic ! With thie question is bound wp the equally | importent one of the convenience and bene- fit to commerce which the work may be ex- pected to bring about. On this point the promoters of the work have been at some trouble to obtain the date upon which to base an estimate. In the first place there ara the products of the forests, especially small lumber, pro- duced along the nerth shore of New Bruns- for our churches and mission fields have been continued thronghout the year. Five mivisters from England have been settled in the provinees, viz: Revs. W. R. Waters, at Economy, N. 8.; David Price. at Para- dise, N. S.; J. Mills, at Great Village, N. S.; T. Potter, at Lower Granville, N. 8.; and John Lewis, at Port Elgin, N. B. These are, we believe, giving good satisiac- tion on their respective fields. Two others are expected soon, and every effort has been made to secure the return of provin- cials studying abroad. STUDENT MISSIONARIES. Fifteen of these were employed by the board during the summer vacation of 1884. Some of these wers on fields that were self-sustaining and the amount needed to supplement all their salaries was but $486, 98. the employ of the board and in some o the fields thus oecupied revivals are in progress. A very hopeful indication is the large number of young men offering them- selves for the work of the ministry, an pastors could do great service by encour- aging faithful young meu in this direction. SELF SUPPORT, Three more mission fields have become self-supporting, vis: Digby, Oaborne and Walton. In all these places the werk is advancing steadily. LEGACIES. The following bequests have been received during the year:— Beniah Morse, Berwick.............. $25 00 Louisa Smith, St. Mary’s Bay........ 30 00 Daniel Wood, Middleton............ 50 00 Annie Longley, Paradise........... 16 00 C. R. Billtown (balance) ...... ...... 100 CO The one discouraging feature of the year is the lack of means to sustain and extend the operations of the bvard, and it is hoped that the conrention may devise some means for more efficiently working our convention scheme in the churches.

The matter was laid over until the committee on the convention scheme should report. THE CONVENTION SCHEME, Dr. Sawygr, on behalf of the committee appointed to consider the convention scheme, submitted the following report : Your committee appointed to report op the plan adopted by the convention foe raising funds for its several objects sub- mit the following : That in their opinicn the plan will be suflicient to meet the wants of the various boards if it be properly urged upon the attention of the churches, but they also are of the opinion that in order to bring it into successful operation it is necessary that the business connected with it should be placed in the hands of one man, who should be employed exclusively in working out the scheme. They therefore recom- mend thet the convention annually sppoint a financial agent and treasurer, who shall superintend the coilections from the churches, receive all the moneys and dis- tribute the same to the several boards ac- cording to the scale adopted for snch dis- tribution. They also recommend that the secretaries of the several boards be constituted a com- mittee of advice with whom the financial agent may confer whenever it msy seem to him necessary, and that in case the agent should be temporarily unable toatrend to his duties, or if for any cause the cflice should become vacant, this committee should have authority to appoint a succes- sor, sich appointment to hold no longer than the time of the next meeting of the dunvention. The committee recommend that the fin- ancial agent should have authority to call for a special contribution for any board, if, after conference with the committee cf advice, he should decide contributions necessary. They recommend that the agent's salary be $1000 and expenses. Dr. Parker moved its adoption. Dr. Sawyer explained and supported the reso- lution in a very convincing address. He Twenty young men are now in| The total appropriation for | wick, Nova Scotia, the Bay Chaleurs and Gaspe Basin. These products would naturally seek a market in the United \States, the West Indies, and South /American countries. The estimated | quantities are 80,000 tons. Then there are |the products of the western prvvinces | coming by water down the lakes, the St. Lawrence and the gulf—grain, breadstuffs, | pork, beef, hides, mineral oil, agricultural |implements, machinery, phosphates, etc., | which could come in the lake propeliors to |St. John and here be exchanged for south- jern products. For these 50,000 tons is set (down. The agricultural and animal pro- jducts of Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton would also form an important :tem of the traffic. The first named Island has an annual surplus of two millions of bushels | of potatoes, besides other roots and cereals, meats poultry, eggs, etc. For this trafic | an estimate of 50,000 tons is given. The products of the sea and the fisheries }of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, seeking tho | United States and the West Indies, are sct jdown at a moderate estimate of 60,000 tons. The product of mines and quarries, coal from Pictou and freestone, plaster ani grindstones. to St. John, United S'a‘es and West India ports is calculated at 50,000 tons. Miscellaneous products, vessels seck- ing a short cut looking for cargoes,steamers, | tugs, schooners and small craft generally ‘from Quebec, the Gulf ports and P. E. | Island going to the United States, or St. | John, or coming to winter in the Bay of | Fundy, are put down at 15,600 tons. The | aggregate of these items of traffic from the _ Gulf to the Bay is 300,000 tons. | The estimate for the return treffic is | 295,000 tons in the aggregate. Among the |items are tropical and semi-tropical pro- | ducts, such as sugar, molasses, cotton, ‘coffee, hides, tallow, etc., from South | America, the West Indies and Southern | States, going to Quebec, Montreal and Jake ports ; bituminous coal from Nova Scotia ; anthracite from Pennsylvania ; freestone, granite (red and grey), iron, marble, grindsiones and ores, plaster, merchandize, } manufactures and gapplies; and the fishing fleets with bait, supplies and cargoes or | seeking cargoes, steamers, tugs and smali | craft. So long ago as 1825, Mr. Francis Hall, 'C. E., who was sent out from England to | survey the Isthmus for the proposed canal, | estimated the traffic at twenty vessels per idiem, The great development of shipping, fishing and general trade in the sixty years ; since Mr, Hall’s estimate was meade, leads to the conclusion that Mr Ketcham’s estimate of the traflic for the ship railway is not over stated. 22 oe _— East Durham. (Halifax Herald ) A majority of nearly 400 in a constitu- ency about half as large as Halifax is more than could have bean expected. It has been said that East Durham is “a tory constituency.” But it is not, except in the sense that Halifax, Colchester, or Hants are Liberal-Conservative constituencies. The late Col. Williams was elected there in 1878 and agaia in 1882, but s0 were sup- porters of Sir John elected in two-thirds of the Canadian constituencies. In 1872 and 1874 East Durham was Grit, in the latter year by nearly two-thirds majority, so that if it is a Liberal-Conservative constituency it is only so in the sense that Canada has been of that faith since 1878. There is no new Franchise in East Dur- ham. There has been no gerrymander there. The Grit candidate was the Secre- tary of the Ontario Reform Association, and therefore should have the confidence of the party. He is an old campaigner and is always on hand in doubtful contests. The people can scarcely be called unen- lightened, Blake’s constitutency is at the other end of the same county. The county is one of the finest in Ontario and the people are intelligent ani independent. They knew something of the Government's methods in the Northwest for many of them had followed Colonel Williams to the front. They were the Midlanders who fought at Batoche. Moreover they received much instruction on the eve of the contest. The Toronto Globe is published not very far away, and it was filled with advice to the Durham people. Port Hope, the largest town, was for weeks well sup- plied with Grit speeches, as was every place else in the riding. Port Hope and Paterson made a great speech at Millbrook. In both places Grit majorities were turned to Grit min- orities, as will be seen by despatches, Iv is now pretty well understood 40 be a dangerous practice to attempt to palm off wor. hlces imitation of the ‘‘Myrtle Navy” tobacco for the genuine article. In former years that practice was ‘he csuse of much annoyence, and Messrs. Tuckett & Son were compelled to resort to the law courts to put a step to it, Though they havenot met with any, cases of the kind lately, it is always a safe precaution for the purchaser to see that the trade mark T& B in bronze letters is stamped upon each plug, no’ plug ever leaves the factory without it, and to appropriate the trade mark is a punishable offence, = ——— —_—_———— : _ TO LET.
