boards, as specified, were to be put on in one length, and to preject one inch and a hslf below the bottom of the sills, while the pet contractor, in whom the Government seems to be so much interested, is allowed to put them on in two lengths,coming down half way on the sills. TI also noticed that the truss bolts, which are supposed to be a source of strength to the buildings, to keep them from spreading, have been allowed by the inspector anithe Government to be put in without washer plates. ef this will be, snould a spreading take place, the heads of the bolts will draw through the posts, and we may find, in a few years, the buildings which cost 30 much of the ‘people's money, dowa. Neither is the foundation in accord with specification. It wou!d not require the Com- missioner of Public Works, with his little erow-bar to pull it down, as he is reported to have done with the Asylum wall, under that terrible and corrupt gov- ernment known as the Davies and Stewert faction. All that would be necessary for the bold William in the present instance, would be to press the masonry with the tip of his carpet slipper, and the bricks would forthwith recede to make room for his hand- some foot. The piers I have found, are built with the bricks on edge, and what has been an excuse for mortar, is no better than mud, in what it seems to me, that from beginning to end, it is a glaring piece of fraud on the taxpayers of the country. who raust pay for such work. On my return to the city 1 met the Commissioner ef Crown Lands, who is also Commissioner of the Stock Farm Buildings. I informed him of the huge swindle, and the total disregard paid to Plans and Specifications. I also in-

point out everything to him. As he is in receipt of $1,600 a year of the public money, I thought he would take that much interest in the afiairs of the country, but as an Unsouwnd man, he declined, being too busily engaged fitting up the Rink for the great political statesman from Ottawa. Had the Unsound, however, been apprised of goods having been furnished by Thomas Walker Jobber Dodd to the boss cf the Government Ring, and who is supposed to be the contractor, the invitation tender- ed him by me would have made a different impression on his mind. I also wish toask, ‘as a tax-payer of this country, and a sup- | porter of the Liberal Conservative party, iwhere is the iionest Hon, George Wastie | DeBlois, who was so shocked at the Davies | Stewart Government, born, by the way, in corruption and cradled in rascality, that he iresigned his position as Colonia! Treasurer of this Province, rather than be associated | with such corruptionists. What blinds him now that he cannot see through the glass doors of the Land Office ¢ I would fur- ther ask, where ia the Hon. Neil McLeod,the ‘mechanics representive and friend, the father ef the Lien Law. Wiere is he, that he has allowed the bold William to play a game of bluff on his supporters in Charlottetown? He above all, as he was brought forth as the chief hope to see right and justice done to the mechanics of Charloctetewn, should not be silent on an occasion of this kind from exposing tie hugest swindle that has ever been per- petrated on the taxpayers of this country. And, moreover, I would ask, where is that talented lawyer and statesman who so often sought the suffrages of the people of Fort Augustus, only to be returned to the bosom of his family. I remember the elec- tion of 1878, when he lifted his hands in holy horror, disclaiming with his melodious voice untilthe tears gushed from his mild eyes, when proclaiming to the people in the

Early History of the Axe.

The axe has quite a history, for in Homer's time iron was much used for wood- cutters’ axes, etc. The axe was an ancient n.of war and appears to have been used from the most remote periods of war- fare. The war axe varied in form accord- ing to the race to which they belonged. The first had a single ecge only, and was similar to the modern aaichet; the second had two edges, and was sometimes called an Amazonian axe, from 2 supposition that weapons of this kind were used by those female warriors. Axes were nwvoh em- ployed as offensive weapons by the Celtie and Scandanavian nations. Among the Kkoman armies, the axe was not much used; it was considered the weapon of ancivilized nations. At the siege of the Roman capital by the Gauls, Brenrus is represented as being armed with a battle axe,and Ammianus Marcellinus, several centuries afterward, describes an armed body of Gauls as being all furnished with battle-axes. Inthe Bayeux tapestry the English are represented as using the battle- axe. The pole-axe was introduced into Britain by the Saxons and Danes; it had an edge on one side and a sharp point on the other. The Franks, in their expedition into Italy in the sixth century, made use cf an axe with a large blade (much like the resent broad-axe) This was termed rancisca, The battle-axe of Childeric the first is preserved in the Louvre The battle-axe _feil into disuse toward the close _ of the sixteenth century. In Russia, Sweden and Norway and many parts of Germany they cliug to the old, rude, unfinished and unwieldly axe with which they are familiar. The introduction of the American axe in these countries must be a matter of time. The expression “‘ to bury the hatchet,” ‘‘io take up the hatchet,” are taken metaphoric- ally from the practice of the North Ameri- ean Indian. In 1840 an English gentleman visited this country and took back an American axe and helve, which from the peculiar curve of the handle and shape of the axe proved infinitely superior to the English. His son still has the axe, which is serviceable, though, of course, the handle has bees renewed several times, always on the medel of the old one. When it. was first used, carpenters and woodmen eame from a distance of ten miles to inspect it, and many times the owner was offered ten times its price for it—indeed, one enthn- siast tried to steal it. Nevertheless, so tenacious is habit, to this day that vener- able axe is the only one of its kind in the neighborhood.
