NOTES IN NOVA SCOTIA.

convey idea of the calamity that befallen Windsor, A few ecattered buildings remain upon the outskirts of the town All the rest are gooe—clean swept out of existence— the ruins of the court house and post office and a few other of the more strongly_ constructed buildiogs standiog or partially standing grim end lonely amidst a black aod smoking waste of ashes, fallen bricks and still burning coal. The scene, it has been said, resembles some of those pictur- ed in Dante’s Inferno. Certainly it is. a striking cOumentary upon “the deceitful- nesé of riches.” On Saturday night Windsor was counted the wealthiest town of its size in all Camada, and the inhabit- ants weni to bed feeling that they were well-to-do, many of them imagining tbat they had laid up in estore sutlisient for their maintenance in comfort thronghout life. But°’on Sunday night these same people were without means of suti-fying the cravings of their hunger and without a shelter from the chill October gale. If the charity and pity of their neighbors in Halifax, St. Joba, Truro and other towns had not instantly supplied relief, macy of them mus have suffered the extreme of want or perhaps perished miserably. The promptaction of the mayors and. other authorities of the surrounding towns is beyond all praise; and we have no donbt that the free bounty and sympathy of the people of the Maritime Provinces will enable the peopie of Windsor to tide over the ensuing winter months and keep the town alive until the springs of its enterprise have been reopened and its vanished homes restored. Fortunately, King’s College, the College School, Edgehill, and the Parish Church, remain as links, between the past and the future of Windsor and as sources of culture aud good taste from which its builders and workers may draw. A zood deal of enterprise has lately been shown in Nova Scotia in reepect to the entertainment of touriets. Yarmouth is to be credited with the establishment some years ago, ofaline of first-class steamers to Boston and a first-class hotel, aod the result hae been an annual influx of thousands of holiday-seekers and many thousands of dollars. The efforte of the enterprising men of Yarmouth were ably seconded by the Dominion Atlantic Rail- way Company, which has provided train service throughout the Land of Evangeline that is second to none in America. It is delightful to sit in the smoothly-running palace cars of this company and view the splendid panorama of distant hills on cither side, with fruitful fields and orchards and cosy cottages and pretty towns, which is presented in the run from Annapolis to Windsor ; and though there are, even yet, toany waste and barren tracts of land to be cultivated and fertilized throughoat the classic valley, it is not wonderful ‘that the

enterprise of the Dominion Atlantic Rail- way Company has been amply rewarded |

and that they have been encouraged to supply in the Prince Edward one of the fastest and most luxuriously furnished steamships "afloat for service between Yarmouth and Boston, and in the Prince Rupert a magnificently-appointed steam~ ship for service between Digby and St. John,—both in connection with their railway. A glance at the may will show that as between Charlottetown and Boston the Domision Atlantic is the more direct route; acd it is certainly well worthy the patronage of those of our citizens who travel] on business or pleasure bent.

As s means of additional attraction for tourists, as well as for the purposes of local traffic, it is proposed to construct » railway from Yarmouth to Halifax, by way of the shore, thus affording tourists means of enjoying the beauties of nature and the delights of the salt water bath on the Nova Scotian coast. It is believed that well kept summer boarding houses at

and the shores of scve =! taps the Dominion Atlantic and this railway affords tue more direct route for passengers from the West by way of St.John ani Digby. Necessarily. itis a great advantage to portions of the country through which it passes. But its usefulness is impaired because it does aot toucn the waters of the Mahone and because the hotels in Mahone are not so situated as to be Ssuitable to tourists. Moreover, the train < flicials of the road are not popular. Certainly a beggage master who has to be addressed three times befcre he will raise from his morning paper to answer & passenger’s simple question concerning a matter relating to his department cannot be said to be “exceedingly courteous,’’ and though he may be a good worker he is no: & man that is calculated to attract custom to the railway or induce the travelling pleasure-seeker to come that way again. If the maaager were to secure a “‘spoiter’ of mild manners and unassuming deport- ment, he might obtain some intormation concerning the conduct of some of his employes which he might use to the advant- age of his railway.

It is but just to say that few of the train wen of Nova Scotia railways forget that they are the servants of the travelling pub- lic, and the railway authorities aod the people of Nova Scotia generally seem to have learned that the stranger who comes and goes and leaves his money among "hem, and takes away a good report of the country, is well worthy of consideration aod care. ‘Tourist Associations” have been formed in several of the Nova Scotian towns, improvements are constantly beiug made in the hotels, the railways and steamships, the parks and flower gardens aod such other things ae are calculated te please the varied tasted of tourists. But as in Prince Edward Island #0 in Nova Scotia much remains to be done in this regard.

While Prince Edward Island has some attractions of which Nova Scotia cannot boast, Nova Scotia commands, by her high hills and lovely valleys, with rivers, lakes and cataracts and winding road ways opening up ever-changiag and ever-pleas- j9g prospects, many points of interest to the visitor which Prince Edward Islang dose’nt possess. There is, moreover, @ pic— turesque quaintness about the slow ox- teama, constantly seen laboring in the fields or on the rvads, which has long sinee been lost by us. The oxen are not yoked

WHICH WILL IT BE”,

Tuere is nothing new in the local poti tical situation. The adjourned metting of the liberal members takes place next Monday evening at eight o’clock, when the supporters of the rivals for the pre- miership will doubtless attend. It is said that neither Mr. Warburton nor Mr.

Farquharson will give way to the other, and that a = aplit is inevitable. But this .we very much

doubt, as both gentlemen are under obli- gations to the Dominion Government and neither will do anything that may hereafter «mbarass Sir Louis and the party. Mr. Farquharson hasa good job in the employment of his tug boat at $25 aday under the Public Works Depart- ment, and Mr. Warburton hava snug billet as agent of the Minister of Justice. Neither of these patriots will make. a split in the party aud thus lose his job. The breach will be healed by one gividg way tothe other. Tbheonly question is, which shail it be?

THE WELLINGTON PO5T

OFFICE.

Sorty after our Liberal Government came to office Mr. Fidele T. Arsenault was summarily dismissed from the position of postmaster at Wellington and a man named Blanchard appointed in his stead, Mr. Arsenault had held the office for many years; he had been exceedingly attentive to thewuties conneeted., with. it; and he enjoyed the conikbence of ‘the'| whole community, for he was known to be an honest and careful man. But he was suinmarily discharged to male way fora friend of Mr. Perry, who had “worked for the success of the Liberal cause.” We sre pot greatly surprised to learn that this “friend,” on whose behalf the “spoils system” was employed, has suddenly clos ed his place of business and “left for- parts unknown” without having given notice to the post office departmeat, Mr. Brecken is fortunately now in the West; and it is expected that he will at once make some temporary provision for the destribution of mails depending upon the Wellington office.

For the first week in October the earn- ings of the Canadian Pacific railway exceeded those for the corresponding week Of 1896 Ly $291,000. For tne week be- fore that they showed an increase of $255. 006 over the earnings of the last week of September, 1896. These gains are al- together due to increased traffic, aud noi to increased freight rates, which on the whole are probavly lower han they were last year. The road is earning so much more because the country has re wuch more stuff to ship than it bad last year,
