Che claims of beauty are not, it maybe ted, ¢€ jual to those ot lity Yet there are those who regret to note the un sightly patches on the side of our highways which result from the habit farmers have of ploughing up the sod on the road- side fur the purpose of obtaining material with which to build up their compost heaps. Compost heaps are a good thing; but is it necessary to mar the highway—and make it dangerous in early spring—in order to obrain them? There are few farms which have net some swampy ground upon them; aud the bog mud from them is much bette for manure than the roadside suds. The attention of our supervisors is called to this matter. Where compost heaps cannot be had without tearing up the highway, the ugly red patches complained of may, per- hans, be whenever they can » obtained, the tearing of the highway it not to be permitted.

An American View.

(ue following article from the Albany, N. Y., Express is fair, with the exception of the statement that the revenues of Can vd have not been equal to the expenditures. Wich the excepllou of a series of deficits during the Grit regime, and those which sruse from abnormal expenditures ected with the suppression of the North- vest rebellion, surpluses have been the rule:

‘* The Dom tne * misfortuns

ye

con-

ion of Canada has not suffered

of the United States during the last few avs of being burdened with a urplus. H: isfortune has been a deficiency in the national revenues as compared with the receipts. Alarming reports have every now and then been sent out concerning the un- favorable condition of the Dominion’s finances. A Lomion cable to the New York Post, how- ever, dispels the entire batch of rumors in the cold light of the financial fact. A Dominion loan of $20,000,000 has been placed on the market in the English metropolis at ninety- five and one-twentieth cents on the dollar. The lown bears three per cent. interest. This is doing remarkably well. When the United States had three per cent. bonds their price held pretty steadily near par. They have now been exterminated by bond calls, and the lowest rate cf interest on our Government bonds is four per cent. These four per cents are beating a large premium. But the inter-

esting fact may be recalled that the four per cent. bonds were placed on the market in 1582 in the neighborhood of 100 cents on the When that refunding operation took place it was not possible for the United States to secure pir for three per cent bonds. Had the experiment been tried the price secured by Canada would hardly have been obtained. Moreover, it should be remembered that the price of United states bonds has been some- what artificial because of the demand for national banking purposes. There is not a railroad corporation in the United States that ean borrow money as cheaply as Canada, how- ever great its prosperity may be. That the Dominion can borrow money at less than three and one-eighth per cent. indicates a high financial credit in the markets of the world.”

An Interesting Case.

THe case of Richard Hunt vs. Hugh Me- Leod, disposed of in the ‘Supreme Court last week, was one of considerable interest to horse dealers. The plaintiff sued in the County Court at Summerside, and claimed damages for breach of an alleged warranty on sale of defendant’s horse. After hear- ing the evidence of several witnesses and argument of counsel, Judge Kelly decided the suit in favor of the plaintiff for $35 and costs. From this judgment Mr. McLeod entered his appeal to the Supreme Court, anil the case was again tried before Mr. Justice Hensley at the June sitting in Sum- merside ; but His Honor reserved judg- ment until the present Trinity Term at Charlottetown, when the appeal was dis- missed with costs and the decision of the County Court confirmed.

l poi at the trial

fhe principal point in issue was whether the representations made by the defendant at the time of the sale, con-

cerning the aw

e and qualities of the horse,

amount in law to a warranty ; and both Courts determined this question in the native. Messrs. Morson. and Mce- duerrie were counsel for the plaintiff, and

Meses. Beil and Peters for defendant.

-—— a Camp Notes.

iwo Companies, Nos. 4 & 5, performed their target practice yesterday. No 5 was

caught in the shower in the evening, and _ re- turned to camp thoroughly drenched. The

practice of both companies was good, high scores being made by many of the men. &The 2nd Battalion Band was inspected

by the D. A. G., highly complimented on their efficiency, and dismissed on Sunday, the

9th inst. ,and the Artillery Band took np their |

quarters in ‘amp yesterday,and will remain during the remainder of the Camp.

Karly moruing parade is not very popular with many of the mén.

Some ones bovine disturbed the peaceful lurnbers of many of the officers last night. If toese attacks continue a council of war will be held and a plan of attack agreed upon.

City Council.

Tue regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Every member of the board was in his place. After routine,

Mayor Haviland submitted a communica- tion from the Finance Commissioners, Ottawa, stating that they had, after con- sideration, declined to reduce the duties on the pipe for the waterworks.

The letter was duly filed.

Mayor Haviland also submitted from R. MeMillan, erect a railway track from his premises to the railway yard, at a point about ten feet further down than the present siding, promising that if the desired privilege were wiven the track the present condition of the winter landing it Ferry Wharf.

a

Councillor Small, the request was winter landing

ed by granted, provided the interfered only during the pleasure of the Council.

Mayor Haviland submitted a letter from the Department of Justice, Ottawa,

ceknowledging the receipt of the resolu- tions in re Captain John Hughes’ case, and stating that the matter was now under con- sideration ef the Minister.

The letter was duly filed.

Mayor Haviland presented a letter from Peters & Peters, stating that they had been retained by Mark Wilson, whose horse had been killed by falling into one of the waterworks excavations which was left unguarded and unlighted, and claiming $100 damages therefor,

After considerable

not

discussion thereon, the letter was referred to the Water Com- missioners to dispose of. The Commis- siopers promised to notify the contractors that they must keep their exervations pr pe rly fenced and lighted im cru. i vent further accidents.

Mayor Haviland here called the atten- tion of the Board to the necessity there was for fencing in all vacant lots fronting on the streets of the city. He said that the City Surveyor should notify all owners of such lots that they must be fenced in at once, and if the owners neglected doing so when told the Surveyor should have the fence erected himself, and send in the bill to the owner of the property. He also drew attention to several dangerous places in the sidewalks. In closing, he referred to the recent law-suits, and expressed the opinion that if more care were not exercised the cicy would be bankrupt in 4 few years.

Councillor Crabbe, seconded by Council- lor McLean, moved that the clerk be in- structed to notify the surveyor to have all vacant lots fenced in as suggested by the Mayor. Carried.

Councillor Davison directed attention to the dangervus condition of the sidewalk near Stewart’s Bakery, on Kent Street.

A motion that $44 be paid James Egan for work performed on the streets since 1872 was lust on a vote of 4 to 6.

Councillor Douse wanted to know why the market tolls contract with Robert Mc- Laren, had not been signed ?

Mayor Haviland said all he knew about the matter was that the resolution passed was in the hands of the Recorder, and that the Recorder had told him that he had mot yet received any instructions as to the nature of the contract.

Atter a good deal of discussion the Chair- man of the Market Committee (Councillor McRae) said he would wait upon the Re- corder as soon as possible, and give him the desired information as to the nature of the contract.

Councillor Crabbe, seconded by Council- lor McCarron, moved that the sum of $30 be paid Sergt. MceGonnell (who is still too ill to go on duty) for the month of June. Carried.

Councillor McRae said that no action had yet been taken on the pig by-law recently He thought that if no action were to be taken it would be as well to have the by-law revoked.

Councilor Byrne suggested the putting down of a plankway on Great George Street, upposite the Bishop’s Palace.

Councillor Horne said the matter would be considered by the Street Committee.

Councillor Davison asked why the elec- tric lamp on Grafton Street near the rail- way crossing had not been moved as recent- ly ordered by the Council ?

Councillor Byrne said the Manager of the Electric Light Co. had told him he was waiting for wire.

Council adjourned.

The * Times” on Parnell.

The London Times, in ity comments on Parnell’s statement in the Commons in re- ference to the revelations made in the O'Dounell-Times case, says: ‘* Parnell’s admission that his character as a member of parliament is seriously affected is a very imperfect recognition of his position. He places against this indictment a bare and unsupported denial which would be as much a matter of course from the greatest criminal as from the most innocent man. under the circumstances denial is absolutely worthless as evidence, even if it were made by one whose character for veracity was be- yond doubt and suspicion. Such character is not borne by Parnell, who has been con- victed, as in his Cincinnati speech, of sol- emnly and indignantly asserting what is not a fact. Members of the Liberal party from Gladstone down to its humblest fol- lower are called upon either to insist that

them or to accept the consequences of their

established by assumption which is only technically short of demonstration.” In another column of the paper, the J'imes re- | iterates that it is fully prepared to prove in | open court the charge it made against Par- aell and his followers.

The Engineers Inspection.

Tue Charlottetown Engineers were in-'

spected yesterday afternoon by Capt. David- son, R. E., of the Royal Military College, Kingston. Thecompany paraded full strength and presented a very fine appearance, The inspecting oflicer, accompanied by Lt.-Col. Worsley, D. A. G., and Lt.-Col. Irving, Brigade Major, appeared upon the parade ground at 3 o'clock, and were received at

‘the open order with a general salute, after | letter | asking permission to |

which the regular inspection of arms and accoutrements took place, and were found in a very satisfactory condition. pany marched past to the music of the Artillery Band, and were then put through various movements by the officers and non- commissioned officers in turn, The exteud- ing for the attack, andthe support of section ‘by section in the advance and the retire was well performed. | Owing to the very early season for the inspection, the company was not prepared to do any extensive engineering work this ‘year. The profile of a field redoubt for a half battalion was completed, when the heavy storm compelled all to retire.

Tt well ple: sed with the day’s performance.

Personal.

Rev. Mr. Gerrior is holding meetings at W oodstock. F

Mr. L. E. Macleod, of Wallace’s Monthly, is visiting his friends on the Island. g

Hon. John Lefurgey has abandoned his trip to Germany and has returned to Summerside.

His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor and | Mrs. Macdonald returned from the west last evening.

Two sons of Bishop Courtney arrived last night to spend the summer with Rev. James | Simpson.

We are glad to learn that Rev. Fred. E. J. Lloyd, who has been ill for some days, is slightly better to-day.

Rev. Neil McKay will visit the Island dur- ing the current week and preach at the Pres byteriau Church in Charlottetown on Sunday next,

Mr. M. C. Cameron. lately the well-known M. P. for Huron, is visiting this Province. He is now staying at tle Osborne House. Mr. Cameron is not now in Parliament.

The Mother Superior and one of the Sisters of St. Mary’s Convent, Summerside, and sev- eral other sisters from Miscouche and Tignish, have gone on a visit to the Mother House, Montreal.

Mr. Henry Green, lately master of St. Peter's Boys’ School, left this morning, with Mrs. Green, for Philadelphia, en route for England. A number of his pupils and others assembled to see him off.

Miss McPherson, ot New Glasgow, N.S. has been appointed to a position ia the Pro- vincial Secretary’s office, at Halifax, as sten- ographic and type writer. She is the first lady to obtain a position in the public offices of the sister Provinces.

The Halifax Herald says:—Bishop Courtney did a graceful thing in calling upon a clergy- man of the Presbyterian church to speak at an Episcopal missionary meeting the other even- ing. Ican 2asily understand that the Pres- byterian divine was rather surprised when His Lordship extended the invitation in so pleasant a manner. The remarks of the Bishop at the close of the rev. gentleman's brief address showed a large heart and a sin- cere Christian spirit.

Mason Crry, Ja., July 5.—A terrible de- vastatingcycloneswept down yesterday upon a number of towns, on the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul road. It is impossible to estimate the damage. The farming country between Whittimore and Ruthven is badly devastated. All the corn crop has been laid to the ground and other grain is totaily destroyed.

EvizabetH, Ill., July 5.—By a heavy wind and deluge of rain last night the cut of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railway, as it enters the tunnel nine miles west of here, was washed in, covering the rails ten feet deep with clay for a distance of 200 feet.

Cuinton, Ia., July 5.—There was a cloud burst last evening at Princeton, Scott county. Rain fell in torrents, washing bridges away and flooding roads some places ten feet in depth and beating crops into the earth. The same state of things is reported froin Jones, Lynn and through Clinton and Jackson counties, only with less damage. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul depot and water tank at Emmetts- burg were leveled to the ground. At Bal- mond astore building anda number of residences were shattered. Much damage was done by prostrating growing grain, ‘especially oats.

Benjamin | Cantield, a tinsmith, happened to pass by. He smiled at Mamie, she smiled shyly at him ; then he stopped and spoke to her and ishe spoke to him.
