The Jamaica Exhibition.

We have no doubt that the Charlotte-

town Board of Trade will heartily co-oper- ate with the Honorary Canadian Commis- sioner to the exhibition held at Jamaica in any reasonable measures which may be taken to have Canada well repres- ented. We important the West India Trade is. that the interest of Canadalies in trade. We know that much may be done to this end by a creditable display of our products. Knowing these things we shall be foolish, and false to the interests of the country, if we do not assist our Commis- sioner in his efforts to make the Canadian Departments a most attractive feature of the Great Jamaica Exhibition. Jamaica is the commercial centre of the British West Indies, and a decidedly impression made there cannot fail to extend to the neighboring Islands. It is not in accord with the spirit of Canadian enterprise that the United States should continue to hold the West India market in respect to flour, cheese, butter, pork and many other good

Notes and Comments.

—The Summerside Pioneer asks, ‘“‘shall we bless or curse?” Well as far as the county is concerned it doesn’t matter ; but for the sake of the Pioneer we say ‘‘bless and curse not.”

_. Artistic circles in Paris are somewhat excited over the discovery that the name of the name of the painter Courbet has been forged to s number of pictures. So bold were the imitators that they ventured to send one of their works to the Paris ex- hibition, where it was accepted, the same jury refusing a place to a genuine painting by the artist. It looks from this that purchasers who wanted pictures and not a name may have suffered but little injustice.

—Herr Ritter, a Free Conservative mem- ber of the lower house of the Prussian Diet, in a speech recently, said that from per- sonal observations in state councils he had the highest appreciation of the Emperor. No German had devoted himself so exclu- sively with every fiber of his being and all the warmth of his heart to further the nations’s welfare. The conciliatory power of the Emperor was modifying the demands of workingmen. Labor was beginning to bow to the sacredness of the law. The Emperor grasped what was justifiable in the workmen’s demands and protected and upheld them. This the workingmen recog- nized and became willing to co-operate with the government to give Germany perma- nent international peace. The speech will draw the attention of the whole country.

—The Ottawa Citizen believes those Liberal journals which are concerning themselves about an early dissolution of Parliament to be unnecessarily worried. It points out that *‘Sir John Macdonald is attending to the business of the country, Mr. Colby is in England, Sir Hector Lange- vin will be in British Columbia until well on in October, Mr. Bowell will be in the Northwest until late in October, and other ministers are arranging for the coming ses- sion, the estimates having been run over and adopted in mw«ny cases; and, al- together, putting two and two together, we ecarcely think that the fighting men of the Conservative party need put on their armor just yet. It would be too bad for Sir John to dissolve the House and deprive many of our Liberal friends of the pleasure and honor of being members of Parliament. They should be vouchsafed one more oppor- tunity to discuss the Governor-General’s ,ea-cups and table-napkins.”

tuus

—Some idea of the tyranny now suffered by the Jews in Russia may be obtained by considering the fact that there are 4,000,000 of them in the Empire, and all of them are required to reside in certain specified towns. ‘Those who own or lease land must give it up, their property as landlords, farmers, or agricultural laborers, being practically confiscated. They are forbidden to have anything to do with mines, or even to own mining stock. But the crowning act of oppression is the edict that every Jew shall be excluded from all schools and universities. They are prohibited frum be- coming engineers, physicians or lawyers, positions many of their race have held with honor and usefulness. Being thus de- prived not only of occupation but even of residence, it is estimated that a million will be compelled to go into exile, and that a vast amount of misery, destitution and loss of life will be the result. It scems incred- ible that a civilized country, in this age of the world, could have relapsed into such barbarism as is indicated by this inhuman edict. But perhaps the Jews are regarded in Russia with something of the feeling in- spired by the Chinese in America.

—TheSpringtieid Republican thus outlines the revelations of the census in Vermont : ‘“Two counties at least—Orange and Wind- sor—both of which are largely devoted to agricultural pursuits, will show a large fall- ing off in population, the loss being reck- oned at 6,000 or 8,000, while Bennington and Addison counties, on the west side of the mountain, suffer similar losses, though possibly not quite so heavy in the aggre- gate. Only 58 of the 247 towns in the state show a gain in population. Essex county leads in the number of towns which have made gains, having eigh:. Rutland and Washington follow, with seven and six respectively. Four counties show gains only in two towns each, while six counties show an increase and eight counties a de- crease. Of the foar counties, Washington, Rutland, Chittenden and Essex, the for- mer shows the largest gain (chiefly attrib- uted to the granite town of Barre); the others gain relatively in the order in which they are named.” Onwhich The Empire remarks : We have already given currency to the report that the actual population of

the whole state has fallen off a few hundred in ten years. The cities gain but the rural population declines. If the Vermont far- mer does not prosper, what would be the value of that market to Canadians, espec« when the price of getting it is at the cost of their British trade?”

FIRE WARDENS.

Meeting Last Evening—More Hose Wanted—A Resolution of Condolence.

The meeting of the Board of Fire Ward- ens, held last evening, was well attended. Chief Engineer Large occupied the chair. He said that the meeting had been called for the purpose of providing for an investi- gation into the matter of the late fire, and read a letter from Mr. Angus, Secretary of the Board of Fire Underwriters, request- ing them to take such action. It was de- cided to advise the City Council to offer a reward of $300 for informa- tion which would lead to the detection of the incendiary, aud to hold an investigation whenever it was advisable so to do.

The Chief Engineer informed the Board that he had entered into communication with the Chairman of the Finance Com- mittee for the purpose of obtaininy four hundred feet wore hose, and that au order had been sent to Toronto in accordance with his request.

It was moved by Dr. C. L. Strickland, seconded by A. D. White, that the follow- ing expression of sympathy and condolence be sent to the parents of the deceased fire- man, Theophilus J. Farquharson :-

‘“We, the undersigned Fire Wardens of the

death of your son, Theophilus J. Farquharson, to tender you, his parents, our heartielt sym- pathy in your distressingly sad affliction, and at the same time to record our grateful appre- ciation of his many good qualities. In him we recognize a brave and fearless fireman, who, in his heroic efforts to save life at the fire on Saturday night, lost his own.”

Rifle Matches.

No. 2. Battery, G. A., fired the last match of their series for this season yester- day forenoon. There was a heavy wind and squalls of rain, so that the scores were lower than usual. The top scores were : Johnston 76, and Ramsay 72. Gunner Ramsay ‘akes the Captain’s badge for the non-commissioned officer or gunner making the best aggregate score in allthe matches. His total was 302 points. Gunner Johnston came next with 298; Guuner Prowse, third, 287 ; Sergt. Alley and Gunner Lane, fourth and fifth, with 286 each; Gunner Mc- Nevin, sixth, 268; Sergt. Whear, seventh, 231, and Sergt. Coftin, eighth, 214.

The annual prize meeting came off in the afternoon, ranges 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards, 5 shots at each. Highest possible, 80 points. Following are the scores :—

Fell a Thousand Feet. ITALIAN AEKONAUT BARLETTI KILLED ON THE DANUBE.

The Italian aeronaut, Barletti, made an ascent from the public gardens at Ibralia, on the 28th ult., suspended from his balloon, without a parachute. When at the height of about 1000 feet from the ground the balloon, which had been in- flated by burning straw, took fire and was rapidly consumed. Barletti was precipitat- ed on a small island in the Danube, oppo- site the town, and was instantly killed. His

on when recovered, was jound to be frightfully mutilated.

The St. John Telegraph says : —‘*The Furness Line, during the past five years, has rendered good service to St. John, and the ce: terprising proprietor is in no way dismayed by the loss of one -vessel of his fine fleet, after so long an exemption from serious accident. Immediately Mr. Furness was notified of the probable total loss of the Ulunda, he cabled Messrs. Schofield & Co., his agents here, that another steamer would promptly sail from London to take her place. This steamer, the Mandalay, is slightly larger than the Ulunda and but four years old, having been built one year later than the latter. Great credit is due the Furness company for this

promptness, by which the continuity of the service will be maintained.”

Dyspepticure will be sent by mail to those who cannot yet procure It in their own vicinity.
