Tur Herald says that if Johnnie Hatch be returned to this city he should be sent to sea and put under hatches. Now this is just where the trouble was before, he havin already been too long under hatches. Should the little wretch come back to Charlottetown he should be fired out sooner, if not quicker. It is all the one thing to Johnnie, whether he hatches fires or fires hatches, the result is in- variably the same.

On Saturday last Mr. John Dickieson, of Summerside, received by telegram the sad news of kis brother’s death at Reynold, Da- kota, This young man only twenty-two years of age, left here in April last to seek his fortune. He went to Dakota and was in the employ of his brother Henry, who is in business there. About five weeks ago he was prostrated with fever which terminated fatally on Friday last. Mr. John Dickieson left by steamer for Boston, where he will meet kis brother with the remains. We tender our sympathy to Mr. Daniel Dickieson the father of the young man and the rest of the sorrowing family.—Pioneer.

Wuewn Jay Gould was in the tanning busi- ness up about Stroudsburg ata place called Gouldsboro, he was not so well off as he is now. One day, happening to be in Strouds- burg, he bought a suit of clothes, which he ania very much, only to find that he did not have money enough to;pay forit. In his dilemma the wife of the local inn-keeper—a woman, by the way, far above her station— came to the rescue and guaranteed the pay- ment of the tailor’s bill. In time Gould paid it. And now every year the inn-keepers wife, whose grown-up children bave scattered tothe four corners of the country, receives passes over all the Gould railroads, in order that she may visit them. We have every reason to believe this a fact. Letus give the devil his dne,

Hernanpo,—After the races at Upton Park yesterday, this fine young trotting stallion was given atrial heat of a half mile. Mr. Brown, after moving him quietly over the cour. e, came under the wire and received the word ‘*go.” Hernando sped off in admirable form, and trotted down the back stretch ata rapid gait. He was admired by all for his carriage, style, and easy gait, and as he came up the home stretch the exclamation of old horsemen was. ‘‘He will be a trotter, and a fast one too, if nothing happens him.” He passed under the wire in 1.32}. This, con- sidering the horse is heavy in flesh, and un- fitted for the track, is a good showing. We agree with the old horsemen that Hernando will yet be a fast trotter.

Ir will interest our farmers to know that at the Dominion exhibition just closed at St. John both prizes offered for chemical fer- tilizers were taken by a Halifax firm of manu- facturers— Messrs. Jach & Bell. The prizes were as follows: Superphosphate, best exhibit, for quality and manufacture, exhibitor to fur- nish analysis of composition certified by a pro- fessional chemist, silver medal; special fer- tilizers, for best collection, bronze medal, The judge was Professor Sheldon, of the Royal Agricultural college of England, whose endorsation, on account of his position in the centre of the most advanced agricultural sys- tems of the world, is very valuable. In his award he says ‘‘the analysis deposited by them (J. & B.) denotes their superphosphate to be one of high class quality, as its me- chanical condition is satisfactory,” and again, “the three grades of ground bone exhibited by Jack & Bell are well prepared and in excellent mechanical condition.”

Lord Lorne’s Advice at Parting.
on
TREATMENT OF PUBLIC MEN, AND MINISTERS RESIDENOES.
In the course of his reply to the address of the Corporation of Montreal, the Gover- nor-General said :
My residence amongst you has led me greatly to honor your people, and in honor- ing them it has been my privilege to honor also its men of both parties in the state who have been chosen by the constituencies to lead their political life, Almost the only pain I have experienced during my term here has been caused by the personal attacks which are too frequently made on both sides against party men. Believe me, gentlemen, such personal attacks do no good in advancing any cause, bul belittle
the nation in the eyes of strangers. They are also as a rule as un- |warrantable as they are repuleive
useless and mischievous, ‘I haye seen a good deal of the public life and of the poli- ticians of many countries, and I unhesitat- ingly affirm that you have in general in Canada as pure and noble-minded states- men as may be found anywhere the wide world over. Where, in other lands, you see those who have had political power and patronage occupying palaces and raising themselves to be among the richest of the eople, we here gee perhaps too much of the other extreme, and men who have led par- ties to battle, and been the victorious leaders in honest political strife are too often left to live in houses which an English squire would not con- sider good enough for his bailiff. This leads me to speak to you of a wish which | have often cherished, but which, to reveal a Cabinet secret, I have never succeeded in persuading any Canadian statesman to sup- port by aspeech in the Chambers of the Legislature. They fear, I suppose, that selfishness would be assigned to their motive. I, therefore, come wf you, the
le, to propose it, and toask you the Fepresentutives and citizens of the wealth-

iest community in Canada to take it up. It is this: that we should have at Ottawa offivial residences not only for the Judges of the Supreme Court, but for the Dowin-

residences. Why should we not follow an /example so obviously good, and, because we

British News Notes.
| Lord Ronald Gower says that Mr. Glad- | Stone, even when on a pleasure visit at | Chiswick, used to rise at 4 o'clock in the | morning to work on his budget.
Dr, Pusey’s sister, wife of the late Pro- vost of Worcester College, Oxford, died lately. She did not share her ,brother’s views, and used to say: ‘‘I am a Pusey, but not a Puseyite.”
The Duke of Argyle’s decoration with the Order of the Garter is bitterly opposed by the Liberals, whom hedeserted. Mr. Glad- stone is accused of perferring his personal friendship to political expediency.
It appears that Matthew Arnold, the poet and essayist, lets people know that he considers himself a superior person, and apropos of his visit to America the follow- ing story is going the rounds. During Carlyle’s last illness, Matthew Arnold paid him a visit and found him apparently in a very lew and weak condition. Carlyle scarcely seemed to notice, much less to reply to, Matthew Arnold’s questions and remarks, and the visitor left the house not a little impressed by the change for the worse, which he considered had taken place. Immediately afterwards he met a mutual friend to whom he mentioned the fact of his visit, and described Carlyle’s condition. The friend, alarmed no doubt by this intelligence hurried at once to Carlyle’s house, and to his astonishment found him far better than he had been led to believe. In the course of conversation he enquired if he had had any visitors lately. ‘‘Yes,” was the reply, ‘‘Mat. Arnold has been here, and talked away as usual. He stayed half an hour, and ali the man seemed to say was that God Almighty himself could not make another Matthew Arnold, if he tried?”
