Miss Mary L. Thompson, writing to Miss F. Pryor, corresponding secretary of the Young Women’s Christian Association, Berkley Street, Boston, Says : You have seen, | suppose, that we have an employ- ment office in connection with this which has two departments, one’ for domestic servants, the other for the higher work. years ago large numbers of girls came from the Provinces for domestic work, and many were most valuable servants, and positions were easy te obtain for them. The state of things have changed recently. There are as many coming for before, but they ask for places 438 companions, grovernesses, seamstresses, lady's maids and housekeep- ers. To not one in twenty can we give this work. We have scores of names already on books which have been registered for months, and no prospects yet. One lady came here from Halifax in March. She had been a teacher and was competent to fill a good position, but we told her it would be almost impossible to obtain one for her. She felt that we were mistaken as do many others there many seem most desirable numberless ‘‘ads.” work. She has

The “Tableaux Vivants.”

Tue old Market Hall has not been wit- a tiner artistic entertainment than that of last evening ; and it was all the pro- the natives. On the curtain an Island scene by an Island painter—one of the early works of Mr. R. Harris, R. C. A.—which was greatly ad- mired ; and the fittings and arrangements were fappropriate—not to the dingy Hall—but to the ‘* Vivants.” The persons were well chosen for the various tableaux ; and the natural symmetry and beauty of the figures appeared in the new light by which the audience viewed them to great advantage. The instrumental and some of the vocal accompaniments were excellent. St. Peter’s Boys’ Band played wonderfully well ‘*for such little fellows,” showing marked improvement since their first ap- pearance and winning the applause of the audience. Taken as a whole, the enter- tainment was, in a high degree, artistic, chaste and pleasing, and reflected great credit upon those who took part in it.

Wonderful Short Distance Running

The fastest short distance running ever known in America was done by Wendell Baker, Harvard, ’86, of New York, at Beacon Park, Boston, a few. days ago. Baker has had an amateur record in a 220 yard dash for two years of 22 2-5 seconds, raade at the intercollegiate games in New York, May 24, 1884. To spur him in his work three of Harvard's fastest run- ners were given handicaps as follows: Rogers, ’87, seven yards, Lund, °88, seven yards, and Wells, 86, five yards. At one hundred yards Baker had passed Wells and at 150 yards got even with Lund, but Rogers was too fast for him to catch. Such was the excitement that it seemed an in- credibly short time before the men finished. Rogers led Baker by three yards. Lund was almost ahead of the champion, while Wells was a yard in the rear. The official time was announced as follows: 150 yards, 14 7-8 seconds, beating all records English or American ; 180 yards, 17 7-8 seconds, beating the world’s record; 220 yards, 22 seconds, beating his own 2nd the best Eng- lish amateur record. Competent judges claim that under favorable circumstances Baker can and will lower the record to 21 seconds. His performance wes all the more wonderful from the fact that the track was soaked and he was obliged to run in the mud.

Nova Scotia Elections.

(Halifax Chronicle—Goveriment Organ. )

Were the Atlantic Provinces to unite and set up house-keéping for themselves, they would have no difficulty in negotiating a reciprocity treaty with the United States, our natural market for all our exports. The advantages of such a union are obvious and manifold, and we have no doubt that should the matter be fairly placed before the people of New Brunswick end Prince Edward Island they would see it im the same light as do the people of Nova Scotia. Should they think differently, however, and choose to remain where they are and suffer all the evils which confederation has brought upom them, Nova Scotia must simply go ahead and demand that she be permitted to ‘** paddle her own canoe.” We believe that the British Government will not turn a deaf ear to our request. It can be established, it has been established to the satisfaction of every unbiassed and impartial mind, that Confederation has been a curse to this Pro- vince. We have followed Imperial advice and given it not only a fair trial, but more than a fair trial. We have endured its blighting effects for nineteen years, and we simply request that the burden be removed. The request is reasonable, and coming from an ancient and loyal colony, will, we be- lieve, receive tho gravest attention from the imperial authorities. At any rate the gov- ernment of Nova Scotia will be untrue to their pledges if they do not fulfil, as far as constitutional methods will permit, the wishes of the people so unanimously ex- pressed at the polls on the fifteenth. The demand for repeal must and will be placed before the government and parliament of Great Britain.
