Pi 1K PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD, Further Proceedings. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. After the Synod had been constituted with prayer by Rev. W. P. Archibald, an overture of the Wallace Presbytery anent lengthening the Synod meetings came up for consideration. Rev, T. Sedgwick, clerk, ably supported the overture, claim- ing that the time spent at present in Synod work about two days and a half ig so short that the matters which come before the court do not receive that careful consideration which their importance de- mands; and, besides this very little time 1s ifforded for social intercourse and spiritual commution. A very interesting discussion followed, in which many of the members participzted, some arguing in favor of this overture on the ground that the meeting of the Genera] Assembly must ere long be made triennial or quadrenniel, and then a necessity would be laid upon the Synod to prolong its meetings. The whole matter was at length referred to a committee to report at a future sederunt. Rev. E. A. McCurdy presented the re port of the Augmentation Committee. The success of this movement, which was in augurated a few years ago, for the purpose of aiding weak congregations, 13 unprece dented in the history of the church. Not withstanding the fact that there are nearly tifty aid-receiving congregations within the bounds of the Synod, every year the committee is able to report a balance in faver of the fund. Many of these aid- receiving conzregations are doing nobly in own support, and in support of the schemes of the church. This year the Committee asks for $8,000 which is a slight reduction in the amount asked for last year. Of this amount the Presbytery of P E. Island is asked to contribute $975. WEDNESDAY EVENING. This session, which was devoted to Mis sions, Home and Foreign, was enlivened by the presence,of the organist and some of the very excellent chior of who led the congregation in Mis- ’ tier members of ~ Zion Church, singing the 23rd Paraphrase and the sionary Hymn. Rev. P. M. Morrison, agent of the church, presented the Foreign Mission report. The total expenditure of tae church last year for foreign missions was a little over $19,- 000, of which sum $6,400 went to the New Hebrides and the balance to Trinidad. Rev. L. G. McNeill followed in a de eply interesting address, in which he reviewed the successful work which is being done in the foreign mission fields of the church, and referred to the fact that with all her boasted liberality the church is at present contributing daly 90 cents per family, or 55 cents per communicant to this work. Mr. McNeill paid « deserving tribute to the women of the church, who are doing 50 much to deepen the interest in missions. Rev. A. McLean made an earnest appeal to the members ot Synod for some one to come forward to fill the | vacancy in the mission staff of Trinidad. He maintained that the church is still only ** playing at missions. HOME MISSIONS. The Home Mission report was presented by Rev. John McMilian in an earnest, practical address, full of interest- ng statistics. If home mission work is to be prosecuted vigorously the grace of liberality must grow in the hearts of the pe ple. About $8,000 will be required this year to meet the most pressing demands of the widely scattered Home Mission field of the Church. The increase is partly due to the fact that cate- chists now receive seven dollars a week in- stead of six as heretofore, and probationers ten dollars instead of eight. The report held out the hope that something more might be done this year to aid the work in m Northwest. v. Dr. McRae spoke briefly of Home Mi ssion work within the bounds of the St. John Presbytery; and Mr. Clark, a student of the Presbyterian College, Halifax, gave verience of mission work in New- rounula rd. tev. D. M. Gordon, whose deep interest inch of the Church’s work is attes ted by the fact that his congregation stands at th id of the list in the amount con- tributed to this scheme, spoke of Home Missions as the mother of missions, and _ re- ferred to the fact that the eastern section of the Church fails far behind the western iu the interest manifested in this work. He ‘au earnest appeal for more liberal support of missions in the Northwest, many of our eastern boys are niaking homes for themselves. Rev. Mr. Munro, of Antigonish, in a few earnest words, brought the discussion to a cle se, nis ©Xt Ith TiS OI where 80 THURSDAY MORNING. The Synod met at 10 o'clock, and was wnstituted with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Bennet lie committee appointed to consider the verture of the Wallace Presbyterv in re- ference to the lengthening of the time of Synod reported, recommending that. the Synod meet next year Thursday evening, and continue in session over Sabbath. After considerable discussion this recom- inetudation was adopted. On Motion of Rev. A. Falconer, the Synod decided to meet next year in Prince Street Church, Pictou. Rev. M. G. Henry presented the report of the Committee on Systematic Beneficence. It was « inmost rigorous and cheering report, showing a large increase in the hberality of the people. P. E. Island increased its contributions to the schemes of the charch 12 per cent. The total amount contributed by the Synod to these purposes was $35,- 44. The adoption of the report was moved hy Rev. D. Sutherland and seconded by Rev. ©. D. Miller, and unanimously aopt pat, Rev J. D. McGillivray presented the report of the Committee on Sabbath Ob- servance, Which deplored the systematic attempt in some places to break down the Christian Sabbath. Nothing that has yet been done has succeeded in preventing the desecration of the Sabbath by the Inter- colonial and other railways. On motion of Mr. MeGillivray the report of the com- mittee was adopted. Now is the time to get pecpoins in Suits! & Reefers at John Mc & Co. King's bounty | Wxhibition A Fine Day nie a Fine Show. A Large Number Present. A stormy night and a cloudy morning preceding a magnificent harvest day are not conditions under which a very success ful exhibition could be anticipated. Never- theless, the Exhibition at Georgetown to- day was fully up to the average of former years. The attendance was very large, and it would, no doubt, have been larger if the harvest had all been gathered in. Among those present were His Honor the Lieus.-Governor and Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Haszard, Mrs. McGowan, Lieut.-Col. Irving, A. D. C., Hon. L. C. Owen, Hon. D. Ferguson, C. C. Gardiner, Richard Hunt, James Reddin, Capt. Malcolm Mc- Leod, Mr. Bent, of the Agriculturist, Mr. Nash, of the Patriot, and other ladies and centlemen who came by special train from Charlottetown; Hon. Mr. Bentley, H. L. McDonald, M. P. P., Dr. Muttart, Soi = Dr. Robertson, Hon. D. Gordon, Hon. A. 1. McDonald, C. McDonald, Montague; Mr. Alleyne, Edinburgh, and many other prominent gentlemen ot King’s and Queen’s Counties. Among the articles exhibited, which are specially worthy of note, was a straw cutter invented by Mr. Chowan Anderson, a very simple and very effective instrument. There was alsoa sample of pure Cod Liver Quil, and Emulsion of Ccd Liver Oil, clarified and repared by Mr. Richard W. Jordon, of Murray Harbor South, which seemed to be fully as good as any on sale in the Drug Stores, The exhibit of grain and wheat was good in the several classes. The Ist prize White Wheat weighed 64} . oa Red Wheat, Ist prize, 64 lbs. ; 2d prize, 635 lbs. The potatoes on exhibition were large ind fine, but the varieties were few. Fruit was sma!), but a very fine exhibit, Mr. Robertson, of Inkerman Farm, being the principal exhibitor. A number of very well-bred pigs were on exhibition. Mr. Fred. Bovyer, Royalty, Robert and Wm. Gordon of New Perth, and others exhibited very fine animals in the classes for sheep and cattle. The show of horses was not large, but Hepburn Clyde, a very fine draft stallion, owned by Mr, Annearof Montague; Branch Pilot, a beautiful carriage stallion, sired by Black Pilot aud owned by Wm. D. Shaw, of New Perth, and Mr. Sinanott’s Abdal- lah would have attracted attention on any show ground. it i 8s prize, 63 Ibs. Germany's Great Sensation. THE LATE EMPEROR'S DiARY. The publication of the Emperor Freder- ick’s diary is everywhere recognized as an event of the greatest national importance. Official and political cireles, however, that are intimately versed in the innermost history of the construction of the German Ewpire, have been astounded by the pub- lication, while the whole German people are stirred to their very depths by the re- velations gwhich ‘show the real great- ness of the deceased Emperor Frederick, his influence in creating the Empire and his nob!e aims for its future Extracts of the diary were communicated to the Deutsche Rundschau through the Baden statesman Baron von Roggenbach, who was long an intimate friend of the late Emper- or, and was much with him during his ill- ness at St. Remo. Baron Roggenbach, it seems, had the assent of the Empress to the pub ication of the extract, but neither Prince Bismarck nur the present Emperor William was consulted. It is, therefvure, thought probable that the publication will have some startling results as affecting the personages concerned in the revelations. It is signigcant that the North German Gazette, Bismarck’s organ, has not yet mentioned the diary. ‘The National Zeit- ung complains of the indiscretion of the publication as shown in the selection of the passages, aud says it was obviously not in- tended by the Emperor Frederick that they should be made public. It instances the revelation that at Versailles there was much friction between the Emperor—then Crown Prince—and Prince Bismarck over the declaration of the existence of the German Empire, that Bismarck drafted the letter in which the King of Bavaria is made to appear as having reluctantly in- vited King William of Prussia to assume the Imperial dignity, and that in October of 1870 Bismarck informed the Grand Duke of Baden of his determinaticy. to wage per- sistent war against the papal doctrine of ‘* infallibility,” and to otherwise assail the influence ot the Catholic Church in Ger- many. It is argued that a disclosure of the nature of this last revelation is alike wan- tonand imprudent, and will tend torevivethe slumbering fires of the Calturkampf again, and to direct the rage of the Clericals against Bismarck as the sole origin of the policy of the repression of Catholics. INDISCREET REVELATIONS. Another of these indiscreet revelations is pointed out to be the statement of the deceased Emperor that during the negotia- tions at Versailles it was proposed to pro- claim as King of France Leopold II., King of the Belgians. M. Thiers said he would favor the scheme, if it implied a union of Belgium and France. The diary does not state the reason for the abandoniment of the proposal, but the French people will accur- ately surmise that Prince BM@#marck’s project co create a Franco-Belgian monarch, implied the disruption of France into several states, and the acquisition by Belgium of the north- ern provinces. The project is certain of revival, if France should be crushed in the coming war. HIS UNFAILING KINDLINESS. The most touching feature of the diary is the evidence of the unfailing kindliness of Crown Prince Frederick’s disposition and his diftidence of character. On July 24, 1870, the eve of the French campaign, he writes : At the baptism of my last born the King was too much affected to hold the child. Which of us will come back? I am appoint- ed to act on the flanks of the principal army. . I shall scarcely be able to carry out the great enterprise. eclared on the side of drts!a Frenth colnel, When vine? Beds ; ‘ the ors : a prisoner, who had said, ‘*We have lost everything,” by replying, ‘‘You are wrong in saying that you have lost everything. Having fought iike brave soldiers you have not lost your honor.” On the day of the battle of Sedan he writes : Die Weltgeschichte is das Weltgerecht comes to me from my school days, Napoleon comes up in the middle of a potato feld rear Douchery; Bismarck and Von Moltke run up tohim. He wants passage for his army into Belgium. Bismarck speaks to Napoleon. He tells him that the King insists ‘upon an un- conditional surrender. The capitulation is a signal, I proposed Wilhelmshche as a place , of residence for Napoleon, and advised the King to ride and meet the Emperor. THE MOMENTOUS INTERVIEW. The Crown Prince then describes the in- terview as related to him by the King. Napoleon assured the King that he had only given in to public opinion when he resolved upon war. He showed marvellous ignorance of the German armies. He thought the force before Sedan was the Red Prince’s army. He asked where Prince Frederick Charles was. The King answered: ‘* With seven army corps be- fore Metz.” Napoleon drew back with every sign of painful surprise. His face contracted itself painfully. For the first time he knew that he had not had the flower of the German army opposed to him. After a half hour’s interview the King and the Emperor came out. The latter, per- ceiving me, held out one hand, while with the other he wiped away the tears which were running down his cheeks. ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE. Referring to the attitude of England after the German triumph was assured, he writes on October 20: The Queen, who follows our actio’s wih touchiog sympa hy, t-legravhed to the King, xhorting bim to ** high-souled dealing ” Commenting on the fact that each side appealed to Heaven in its own behalf, there oceurs on December 25 the following entry: It is really a piece of irony on the message of good will that each party calls on God to aid its cause. In every success we incline to prove by it that the support cf Heaven is against our opponents. The last entry before the return to Ger- many displays the nobleness of the man: March 8th.—When I see my endeavors to help the oppressed acknowledged by Germany and her neighbor, and that the peope aie gaining confidence in my future, I feel quite happy. Moral earnestness in political con- victions can only be the result of inward maturity of inward struggles, which must be continued daily and for which one’s self is re- sponsible, __—om + The Regatta. Tue weather for the regatta to-day was beautiful. No better could have been de- sired, though it was rather rough for the smaller boats. Quite a crowd were on the Grand Stand, and all other points on the wharves and streets from which a view of the races could be obtained were crowded. Much interest was taken in the various races, and it was easy to see that the regat- ta was enjoyed by all present, who speak highly of the hard-working committee who had the affair in charge. Much fun was caused in some of the juvenile raves, and altogether the specta- tors were kept in good humor from begin- ning till the last of the races. The sailboats of the Ist class got off well. The Surprise took the start, the Mystery and Vixen making {poor work. Surprise kept her start and passed the stand before the others on the first round. In the 2d class sailboats, the Greyhound, Alexandra and Wanderer got off well to- gether, and made good work, the Wander- er leading past the stand. Ali the boats in this class were managed and looked well. A double scull shell was upset this after- noon, and its occupants, Frank McDonald and James Dorsey, thown into the water. They were quickly rescued by Mr. Joy and Mr. Hogan, who took a bort to their as- well sitance. Further than a cold, uncomfort- able wetting, the twe young men were nnhurt. The other races we have not been able to find the result of, owing to unusual pres- sure ou our columns; but the scores, with full particulars of the Regatta, will be al! given in to-morrow’s EXAMINER. + EE ei — A Priest Killed. The accidental death of Rev. Father Lefloch, of Grand Digue N. B. and parish priest there is announced, On Saturday afternoon he received a hurried sick call and left his home to attend the bedside of the stricken person. About half a mile from his residence his horse took fright and running away threw the reverned gentle- man to the ground. Father Lefloch, who was a short thick-set man fell heavily and received severe concussions of the head. He was taken home and continued to bleed from both the nose and ears; suffering ir- tense agony, which terminated on Sunnay evening at sevon o'clock in his death, Drs. Legere and Belliveau of Shediac, did all that could be done to save his life but in vain. Celery is an article of food that is coming more into favor as its medicinal properties come to light. Are you nervous, irritadle, or out of sorts? Do not, I pray you, fly to quack mixtures, or destroy the nervous sys- tem by a too liberal use of the pipe or cigar. **Come, let us reason together.” Throw your medicine to the dogs; the loss of a stray canine or two would not be missed in our now over-populated dog life. Are you a smoker ? Throw your black poisonous saturated pipe in a tub to soak, and for one month bid guod-bye to medicine and pipe, and try a judicious, systematic use of Gay's pure white celery, (unadulturated, as nature provides), and if you are not benefited by the experiment there must be something radically wrong in your composition.
