fulsome praise of the Grit nominee, Mr. |

Duncan MeMillau. If the Grits had any faith io their own policy they would say, “Let the principles of both parties be put squarely before the electors and let them judge between us.’ They do not do this, however, but the Patriot, published by au Elder iu the Presbyterian Church, a man who once hypocritically asserted of himself thathe was **an humble follower of the meek and _ lowly Redeemer,” is made a filth cart to carry to the homes of Belfast the vilest slanders against Mr. Martino. Mr. Laird knows very well that there are men in the Dis- trict like John McEachern to enlarge aud amplify the orgau’s insinuated slanders and circulate them when and where they will best answer the purpose for which they were inserted. He knows that, on a fair presentation of the record of the Goverument and Opposition, the latter

has no chance of success, but he hopes to carry the day by defama- tion = of Mr, Martin’s charac- ter. The game will not succeed.

Alexander Martin is long and favorably koown to the electors ot Murray Harbor Road, Caledonia, Montague, and adjoin- ing settlements. Will the Patriot dare assert that Mr. Martin’s “candidature” is not much more cordially supported in these places than Mr. MeMillan’s is, in the parts of the district where that gentle- man is best known ? The people of Murray Harbor Road, than whom there is not a more intelligent and moral community in Prince Edward Island, would not rally around Mr. Martin with the unanimity they®are now doing, if he were the unprincipled man the Patriot represents him to be.

The Patriot might just as well be decent. In every quality which tends to

fit a man to represent the noble district ot Belfast, Mr. Alexander Martin is head and shoulders over Mr. Duncan McMillan, or any one of the brigade fru. Charlottetown, who are endeavoring to divert the blow which the electors of Belfast are about to inflict on the party of slander, incompetence, aud extrava- gunce.

Tue Patriot still sticks to the potato and flanoel ‘‘yarn,” and gives John Mc- Eachern a certificate of character. The clique have further use for John in relat- ing their peculiar “yarns,” consequently the Patriot gives him a letter of credit. We doubt much if the credibility of the *‘yarus” will be much iucreased by this device. Mr. Laird has himself told a good many tough “‘yaras” in Belfast, in his day, all of which are now at a considerable discount. Indeed we firmly believe that it is very wise on the part of Messrs. David Laird, Joho F. Robertson and Roderick Munu to try to obtain currency, by proxy, in Belfast for their peculiar inventions. The organ Says itis assured by one of the parties interested (we presume io making the yaro) that John McEachern’s story is strictly true. We would suggest to the “yarn spioners” to get Mr. Wm. Miller, who treated with Mr. McPhail for the sale of the potatoes, to point out over his own signature the particulars in which Tae Examixer’s version of the transac- tion is incorrect.

“Freepom or tan Witt.’’—Mr. H. C. McDonald's paper, on the ‘Freedom of the Will,” read lust evening in the Parlor of the Y. M. ©. Association, was quite a suc- cess. He very clearly stated his views upon the subject, and quoted largely from the various authorities. He dealt with the two great theories or beliefs of necessitarianism and libertarianism. His opinions on these qvestions were very fully and plainly put, and the paper, on the whole, showed a con- siderable amount of reading and study of the subject on the part of the opener. Qaite a lengthy discussion followed, in which Messrs. Newson, Full, Alex. Mc- Kinnon, R. T. Weeks, W. A. Weoks and others took part.

A New Jersey inveatur has brought out an application of a steam jet pump to loco- motives that will convert any locomotive into a steam fire engine. The appliance consists of a small brass chamber placed within the tank, and sv connected that all the parts are free from danger of freezing There are no valves or loose parts connected with the invention, and it requires no care whatever. It is claimed that this simple appliance will be invaluable in case of fires on trains, bridges, or in any building in reach cf the hose from the locomutive.

At a recent private ball in New York a new figure was introduced at the close of the german.

Exhibition.

Sirn,—Some tew weeks ago I maie an offer to the H n. Donald Ferguson—he | being always formost among our members in exhibition work —that if the Government | would give a $100 prize for creamery butter, | 1 would give another in cash and imple- )ments, and guarantee to raise the third | hundred. | I wrote to W. H. Lynch, Esq., asking |his mite. This morning I received an | enetwen to the effect that he would give $100, making, in all, $300, for prizes in the

| dairy work—not so bad. I think the farmers and butter users of the Lower Provinces cannot but feel much indebted to this gentleman for the tine and money he has spent in forwarding the interests of dairy work, in attending Exhibitions, experimenting, writing for papers, etc. Itis to be hoped that he will reap a rich reward, and that the butter prize will yet sweil to $500,

In conclusion, I might say that there is some talk of having a yearly Dairymar’s -Exhibition in eech of the three Provinces, alternately, first, P. E. I.; second, N. B.; third, N. S., and so on, sustained partly by private subscriptions, and a small grant from each of the Provincial Governments. If this is done [ would not hesitate to pro- phesy that P. E. Island butter will bring fifty cents per pound within five years.

Yours,

R. K. Brace.

For the Benefit of Farmers and Dairymen.

Srr,—I have, through Mr. John D. Bell at Montague, procured one of the patent air-pipe rotary churns manufactured by R. K. Brace & Co., in Charlottetown, and on the 8th of January last, [ mace the follow- ing test :—The cream from which the test was made was raised in one of the Patent Cooley Cream Cans set in cold water in the dairy for twenty-four hours. When the day for churning came, the cream was pre- pared in the usual manner, the dairy-maid using herclean white fingers to test the temperature. In fifteen mmutes the churn- ing was completed, one-half of the time usually taken by the old churn, and very little effort required to perform the opera- tion. When the lid was removed, and the buttermilk extracted, the churn was nearly as clean as when the churning had com- menced, There is no unnecessary fixture of arms and blades on the inside to cause the cream to foam and splash against the side.

But the most singular part of the mechan- ical invention is the curved air pipe, which is very ingeniousty fixed on the inside to allow the air or gas caused by the process of churning toescape. The curved und of the pipe stands above the cream, aad the other end is inserted in the centre of the axis on which the churn revolves. It is then fastened on the outside so as tu pre- vent it from turning round.

Professor Arnold and 8S. M. Barie, Pro- fessors in the Dairy School of St. Maria de Beauce, recommends the revolving churn, and the deep setting of milk in cold water orice. He further remarks that with these appliances, well regulated, he cannot see any reason why as good butter should not be made in private dairies as in public fac- tories.

I have no pecuniary interest directly or indirectly in the manufacture of these churns. My object in view is simply to give my experience to others, so that they may go and do likewise. I am fully con- vinced that a great deal of labor can be saved by using the Patent air-tight Rotary Churn, and the Patent Cooley Cream Cans, besides improvivg the quality of the skim milk, and enhancing the value of butter to a large extent. I am, sir,

Souris Navigation Class. Srr,—The Navigation School, under the instructions of Capt. Gidins, is progressing favorably. There isafair attendance. The pupils are advancing in the science, under the able and experienced tutor. Some of | them having no knowledge of navigation, were, prior to entering the school, under the mpression that they could not acquire the various branches. After a preliminary discourse with the captain they were soon convinced, by his simple method of instruc- tions, which he explained to them, and verified by the progress that they have made up to the present time. Having occa- sionally visited the school, and having a fair know edge of navigation, in my opin- ion the method taught in the various branches are imparted theoretically and practically on the simplest method possible. If a navigation school should be opened during next winter, and having the favor of the present teacher, Sonris couJd vie with men of other ports of this Province.

Mount Stewart Notes.

Sir,—The temperance committee have accomplished a noble work in suppressing the liquor traffic here. Peace and quietnees reigns; not a drop ef intoxicating drink to be had in the village, where not three months since it was openly retailed in no less tham four different places. It is now yenerally admitted that the Scott Act is the best law yet placed on the statute book for the supression of the giant evil, and the committee certainly deserve the thanks of the whole community for their vigorous and praise worthy efforts in enforcing the law

The Mount Stewart Debating Society and Literary Institute still flourishes, the members of which meet once a week for the discussion of popular subjects. At their last meeting a committee was ap- pointed for the purpose of getting up an entertainment. It will likely come off some time next month, and will no doubt be a success.

The shipbuilding industry is not quite so live as last year. Mr. Egan, however, purposes building a schooner, the ti nber of which he is now purchasing; and

Has not a Woman a Right to Command ?

The Solicitor of the United States Treasury has a high regard for women. His description of their virtues, their grace, their loveliness, their goodness 1s indeed poetic, and his defence of their character, of their superiority to the baser sex is truly chivalric. This defence is brought out by the application of Mrs. Mary A. Miller for a license as a master of a steam vessel, The Solicitor admits that there is no express prce vision in the law to prevent a woman from commanding a steamer as master. This fact, together with his magnificent panegyric on lovely woman, would lead one to suppose that the gallant Solicitor would at once endorse the lady’s application. But the application, says the New York Marn- time Register, only arouses in him pity for one who could attempt a task so repugnant to all his ideas of woman’s work, and de- testation for what he declares are attempts to lower the high standard he so eloquently describes This knightly Solicitor, the | Register thinks, only finds in all the many virtues ascribed to woman the strongest reason for doubting the advisability of gran- ing the license. He thinks the work of com- manding a Mississippi steamboat could not be done by her. He thinks such work would unsex her. He calis all the talk of the day about ‘‘woman’s rights” fiddle faddle, and thinks it calculated to degrade instead of elevating the female character. And he frowns upon the attempt of a woman to become a_ steamboat master. But hundreds of thousands of women are in positions much more likely to destroy the domestic graces than this one, and the movement toward “women’s rights” is growing stronger. Women must live upon something more filling than praise. If a woman is qualified to do the work and does it, why should she not be master of a steamboat! It is not at all probable that the fair ones will clamor for the position. The go'd and blue of a uniform might attract the frivolous among them—and who will deny thata pretty

not attract passengers, even among the old and bald-headed—but they would burst into tears at the first rough word, or in a heavy sea would seek the seclusion which the cabin grants, while even the most strong- minded of the sex would shrink from the responsibility of the quarter deck on a stormy night. But it can be pointed out that in giving a license to Mrs. Miller, a deserving woman, who wishes to command a sleamer on the Mississippi, will simply be granted permfsion to support her family in a manner which she has practically done for years, and the fair sex will only be honored by this devotion of one of their sisters. — Maritime Register.

‘Tus magnificent fleet of ironclads which the Italian Government completed a few years ago at an immense coat proves to be mach less formidable than was aaticipated. It seems that thetr draught of water was miscalculated, and that they cannot carry their heavy guns with turrets without sinking too deeply. Their armament will therefore have to be changed and the turrets be replaced by lighter oves. This will expose them considerably more to the tire of an enemy and greatly lessen their capacity for attack or resistance.
