The Letellier Matter.
teferring to the rumors which have been circulated and published by the partisans ef Governor Letellier, a private correspon- dent of the St. John Sun telegraphed on Saturday as follows :—
Report amounts to nothing. It is ad- mitted here that the Home Government will refuse to interfere, which is what the opponents of the Governor expected and wanted.
The Sun succinctly says: ‘‘The only ques- tion at issue is whether the power ef dismissal is in the Governor-General himself or in the Governor-General acting by the advice of his Council. His Excellency could not make up his mind on this point, and with
May 22nd, but on learning that the first division of the Peruvian fleet had gone south, it steamed in pursuit. Meantiime the Peruvian fleet learned that the Chilian ironclads had sailed for Inquiqui, leaving their only small wooden corvette ‘‘Hsmer- alda,” the despatch boat “Covadanga,” and the transport Limaria.”
The ‘‘Huascar” and ‘‘Indeperdencia,” Peruvian ironclads, immediately steamed to Iquiqui and attacked those vessels. The ‘‘Huascar,” after summoning the ‘‘Esmer-
_|alda” two er three times to surrender, and
being answered by broadsides, at last rammed the latter, which sank almost im- mediately, carrying down about 150 men and about 40 women. The ‘‘Huascar” and “Independencia” (Peruvian) rescued and sent ashore a number as prisoners of war. Meantime the ‘‘Independencia” made a chase after the ‘‘Covadanga”’ and ‘‘Li- maria,” which the commander was anxious to capture but not destroy. The ‘‘Cava- danga,’ whose captain was very familiar with the coast, steered very close, her course leading the ‘‘Independencia” into water where she was certain of destruction. The ‘‘ Independencia” fellowed blindly, and at Point Gruesa, while at full speed, she struck a rock and became a total wreck. The ‘‘Huascar”’ came to her assistance, and, finding it impossible to save hgr, took off her crew and set fire to the vessel to prevent her falling into the hands o: the
manded twenty-five cents as the entrance fee. As my quarter of a dollar reached the palm of the doorkeeper’s hand, a baton which he held in the other dropped at his side, and his man- ner became most affable, whilst a smile lit up his countenance, giving it the appearance of summer butter. What magic there is in filthy lucre ! Like music-it hath charms to soothe the savage breast. When fairly within ‘the Rink, I asked where are the seats for the spec- tators who paid their money? Echo answer- ed, where? ‘The absence of seats was over- looked by the good natured spectators, as the directors of the affair had endeavored to make the entertainment as attractive as possible by a liberal introduction of farce. THE SCENIC EFFECT
was not what true levers of art would pro- nounce perfect, but, then, the Directors in- tended that each actor should depend on his merits for effect upon the spectators. With this end in view, eleven pedestrians were led out on the promenaude early in the day, and at night, when the clock tolled ten, five out of the eleven were promenauding at various degrees of speed. At this juncture, the prob- lem to the uninitiated most difficult of solu- tion was to determine upon whose part the ‘pluck and endurance”’ was displayed—the pedestrians, or the spectators who could look for hours upon the scene. Previous to enter- ing the Rink, I had satistied my own mind with tolerably clear ideas of the “ proper form” of contestants in these exhibitions of ‘pluck and endtrance.” What with illustra- tions of contestants in Olympian games, and
to trade. There is this to be observed in con- nection with the twelve-hour tramp, and to be given credit for : that, While the promoters of the scenes abroad are three-card montemen, ticket-of-leave men, gamblers and prize-fight- ers, here it is different, for the directors of the affair have a large share of the gentleman ele- ment about them. They are college-bred and haye that proportion of blue blood running in their veins that would entitle them to an inv1- tation to a reception given by the Princess Louise. It is just possiblefthey would occa- sionally look down upon the ‘‘common herd.’ GAZER.

If it be otherwise they will have cause for astonishment at the result of the elections which will necessarily follow, and perhaps Canada, as a whole, might in that case be congratulated upon a decision which will do something to bring about a legislative union and a less expensive system ef government.”
Vhe St. John Telegraph says it has pri- vate information that when Mr. Joly arrived in England ‘‘ he was net, it is understood, favorably impressed with his reception at the office of the Colonial Secretary or with his intercourse with the other British Min- isters. After some time he noticed a change for the better. He saw, too, that Lerd Dufferin had been sent for from St. Peters-

Summerside Notes.
An eight hours’ walking match takes place in Ludlow Hall on Friday next. It is to bea *‘goeas-you-please” match. Four ecompetiters have already entered for the contest, and a lively time is expected.
Quite a number of Summersiders went to Moncton on Saturday, to see Barnum’s circus.
The members of the Summerside Band gave a concert in Ludlow Hall on Friday night last. The concert was not patronized as it should have been. The programme through- out was a good one and well rendered.
There is an individual in Lot 12 who thinks that be can beat any pedestrian belonging to

close, the faces of the wearied »edestrians very |
much resembled putty with an overdue pro- portion of oil. The violent exertions of the day, doubtless, operated like «
TURKISH BATH.
Some of the athletes apparently were strangers to an outward application of water,’ but the smart pace which they were compelled to keep up, forced the perspiration to the sur- face where it left its mark.
The most remarkable pedestrian that met the spectator’s eye on entering was a tall in- individual whose calling in life is that ofa
POLICE OFFICER.
It is plain that some preparatory training or acquaintance with active labor is necessary before entering upon «a twelve hours’ match, and and I consider the friends of the policeman were guilty of criminal neglect or that they

impartial source of information as to poli- tical events in Canada, as well as to obtain the legal and constitutional advice which the law officers of the Crown might be ex- pected to give. It was under Lord Duf- ferin’s administration that Governor Le- tellier dismissed the DeBoucherville Ministry, and arrested, or, let us hope,
revented the imminent bankruptcy of the
rovince, under that wonderful! regime. It was, ne doubt, felt by the British Govern- ment that Lord Dufferin could cast a good deal of light on the whole subject, and that he might be expected to do sv with greater impartiality than Mr. Langevin would de on the one side, or Mr. Joly on the other. The Quebec Premier is credited with the belief that his cause did not lose anything by the conferences with Lord Dufferin. The latest advices seem to show, at any rate, that the British Government do not concur in the advice tendered to the Gev- ernor General by Sir John, requiring the dismissal of Governor Letellier.”

WE are pleased to know that the efforts of those interested in the cultivation of the higher class of music, in this city, is meeting with that success whica it so well deserves. The Charlottetown Philharmonic Society, which has now been in operation for over & month, has secured the services of a competent mn- sician—Préf. Earle—and have engaged the commodious hall of the Y. M.C. A. building in which to hold their weekly practices. The music which they have imported for their use, and are now practising, is well up to the time, and we anticipate a rare treat of classical music at the first Concert of this Society.

A GREAT revolution in matters agricultural has begun in England. Farm rents must come down vastly, and stop down. Fora jiong time past till lately there has been an in- tense competition between tenants for farms. The competition is now between farms or landlords for tenants. More farms are now vacant in England than for a hundred years ast. The movement has but just begun. The game laws and the game will have to go. Long leases will have to be granted. Tenant rights on a liberal scale will have to be con- ceded. The whole land law system will have to be simplified, and the process of land trans- fer made cheap. The result.ot the whole will be, we believe, an immense advancement of the agricultural art in England. Meanwhile, without doubt, there will be much suffering

from his teeth; but some generous friends who had not studied the scientific effect of strong food upon a stomach unaccustomed to, it, sur- prised his digestive organs with egg-nog, from the effects of which they did not recover till too late. Another founda friend who pressed a bottle te his lips containing ‘‘ goats milk,”’ which opened his eyes to the fact that the space allowed him was limited, he, therefore, sought the street to continue his walk, and where he would have more liberty for his limbs. A tall chap with abundant locks of brick-clored hair, skipped around like

but he was greater in promise than perform- ance, for he knocked under before the twelve hours were reached. His was a case of arrest ed development; for he -discovered that his feet could not be depended upon for a long stay, and were of less service to him than his hands and knees in propelling his body. Here and there wereseen some retired athletes, posing themselves upon sore and blistered feet, with the air of gladiators or -heroes in a Spanish bull-fight. One fellow, who had found the way of transgressors against nature hard, and withdrew from the contest when he had fin- ished twenty miles, was indulging in some tall talk about ‘giving the leader—who had nearly finished sixty miles—a hard show for it. The chief attraction of the scene was the

When one of the bystanders suggested tothe youth that a little temper- ance might not hurt, he exclaimed, ‘‘ I-I-know know wh-what the ole man likes;” ‘“G-G-Go in P-Paw;” “An old d-deg for a h-hard roal.”” These encouraging words operated upon the parient like fireworks on the Spanish bull | in the fight, and accordingly the old man would let out a link But every farce must have its close, and this one was finished by a/ loud sound from the musical gongs.
