Notes and Clippings.
—-We are very glad to learn that Mr Bryant, the colored editor of Selma, Ala., who was forced to flee for his life on ac- count of an utterance in his paper, bas escaped to the North. The articles which gave offense were written by another in his
absence. Of course he does not dare to re- turn. Yet the United States is a free country.
The Breeder's Gazette. of Chicago,says **So long as we keep our Chinese wall as high and as impregnable as it now stands so long we may expect these retaliatory measures. When we seek foreign outlets for our surplus product we must expect to be met by the same party that we station at all our own yateways-—the tax-gatherer. It’s a very poor rule indeed that won't work both ways.”
—~ The latest news from Japan places the total number of drowned in the floods of August 20th, ia the city of Wakayamo and in the districts of Minami-Muro, Higashi-Muro, Nishi-Muro, and Hidaka, at 10,000, and the number of persons receiv- ing relief at 20,424. The River Kinokuni swelled ‘rom thirteen to eighteen feet above its normal level, and the embankments and the village of Iwahashi were washed away, and about forty-eight other hamlets were covered by the raging waters. On the morning of A ugust 19th an enormous mass of earth fell from the mountain near the village of Tennokawa, and stopped the course of the river of the same name, which, being already swollen greatly, sub- merged the village and drowned nearly all the inhabitants. A number of the villagers belonging to Tsujido took refuge in their temple, which was on high ground, but when the landslide occurred about fifty persons were buried alive.
Provincial Exhibition Notes.
Now that the County exhibitions are over the great Provincial Exhibition at Char- lottetown next week is the all absorbing topic of the day. The exhibits of live stock, enteries for which closed yesterday, are unusually large and attractive. In horses especially, the show will be the largest and best yet witnessed in the Provinces.
The entries in all classes of live stock are larger, especially in horses, than at any previous exhibition held on the Island. All available space in the building will be oc-
eupied by the products of the soil, manu- factures, and works of art. Space is allot ted on the Show Grounds for all sorts of
farm implements, carriages, etc. We may, therefore, fairly assume that the success of the exhibion, represented by exhibitors from all parts of the Province, is assured. d-0-o-

Ow1ne largely to the wet and disagree- able weather, the Schoff Concert Company had a small audience last evening. But their performance throughout was excel- lent. Those who were not present certain- ly missed atreat. The programme was made up of sulos (vocal and instrumental!) duets and quartettes, with the charming operetta ** Diamond Cut Diamond” as a Jinale. Miss Josie Schoff's solo ** L’Ardita” was well sung and rapturously encored, the talented artiste receiving a perfect ovation on her second appearance; and Mrs. J. McD. Taylor appeared to advantage in the solo ** Never to Know.” Both ladies are the possessors of well-trained voices. Their duet, ‘‘ My Boat is Waiting,” was well received and deservedly encored. Mr. Phillips’ solo, ‘‘ The Trysting Tree,” was encored, and he responded with ‘* The Midshipmite.” Mr. Johnstone’s ** Tale of Woe,” although not new, evidently pleased the audience, which insisted upon a double encore —and got it. The quartettes *‘Spring Song” aud **‘ O Hush Thee My Baby” were well rendered by Miss Schoff, Mrs. Taylor and Messrs. Phillips and Johnstone, the voices blending nicely. Mr. Hayden's vio- lin sulos were well played, as were also the piano solo and accompaniments of Miss Ella Schotf. The operetta ‘‘ Diamond cut Diamond,” was artistically placed upon the stage and very well acted. The company will give another performance to-night, when, we trust, they will have the large audience the excellence of their entertain- ment merits.

An Ottawa despatch intimates that the Earl of Coventry is likely to be the next governor-general of Canada. The Earl is a great sportsman and agriculturist and at pres- ent is master of the Queen’s buck hounds. This office is to be abolished and as the Earl is not wealthy he is to find compensation at Ottawa. Lord Coventry frequently acts as judge in the principal horse rings of England and has an unblemished character. He is 51 years of age and is married toa daughter of » Earl Craven. He has a large family.

The contests between a barrister and the judge in Court are generally unfair, the iatter being armed with co-ercesive power, | which always bangs over the lawyer's head. I do not love reading the lives of lawyers. I have found it too dry, but the other day | 1 came across the account of the celebrated | scene between Curran and Judge Robinson. Tt is no doabt well known tothe profession, that there are probably a good many lay- !men who may not have read it. | Curran was one day pleading before Judge Robinson, a coarse-minded fellow, who had the bad taste to sneer at Curran’s poverty, | by saying he suspected his ** law-library ” 'was rather contracted. Curran replied, ‘** It is very true, my lord, that 1 am _ poor, and the circumstance has certainly some- what curtailed my library ; my books are not numerous, but they are select, and I hope have been perused with proper dis- positions. I have prepared myself for this high profession, rather by the study of a tew good works than by the composition of a great many bad ones. [Judge Robinson was the author of many stupid, slavish, and scurrilous political pamphlets ; and by his demerits, raised to the eminence which he thus disgraced.] My books may be few, but the title pages give me the author's name, and my shelf is not disgraced by any such rank absurdities that their very authors are ashamed to own them. I am not ashamed of my poverty ; but I should be ashamed of my wealth could I have stooped to acquire it by servility and cor- ruption. If ] rise not to rank, I shall at least be honest ; and,should I ever cease to be so, many an example shows me that an ill-gained elevation, by making me the more conspicious, would only make me the mere universally and the more notoriously contemptible.” ‘‘Sir,” said the Judge, i ** you are forgetting the respect which you owe to the dignity of the judical character.” *“*Dignity!” exclaimed Curran, °° My Lord, upon that point I shall cite youa case from a book of some authority, with which, perhaps, you are not unacquainted He then related the story of Strap in ‘**Roderick Random,” who, having stripped off his coat to fight, entrusted it to a by- stander. When the battle was over and he was well beaten, he turned to resume it, but the man had carried it off. Mr. Cur- ran thus applied the tale: ‘*S8o, my Lord, when the person entrusted with the dig- nity of the judgment-seat, lays it aside for a moment toenter into a disgraceful per- sonal contest. it is in vain, when he has been worsted in the.encounter,that he seeks to resume it—it is in vain that he tries to shelter himself behind an authority which he has abandoned.” ‘“‘If you say another word I'll commit you,” replied the angry judge; to which Mr. Curran retorted, ‘‘li your Lordship shall do so, we shall both of us have the consolation of reflecting that | am not the worst thing that your lordship
has committed.”
|
* * There is another anecdote of Curran (not in the way of his profession), but of an ad- venture he had with a mastiff when a boy, which is exceedingly amusing. He had heard somebody say that any person tbrow- ing the skirts of his coat over his head, stooping low, holding out his arms, and creeping along backwards, might frighten the fiercest dog and put him to fight. He accordingly made the attempt on a millers’ dog in the neighborhood, who would never let the boys rob the orchard, but found to his sorrow that he had a dog to deal with which did not care what end of a boy went foremost, so that he could ge: a good bite out of it. ‘‘l pursued the instructions,” said Curran, “‘and asl had no eyes save those infront, fancied the mastiff was in full retreat; but I was confoundedly mis- taken; for atthe very moment I thought myself victorious, the enemy attacked my head, and having got a reasonably good mouthfal out of it, was fully prepared to take another before I was rescued. Egad, | thought for a time the beasc had de- voured my entire centre of gravity, and that I should never go on a steady perpen- dicular again.” ‘‘Upon my word,” said Sir Jonah Barrington, to whom Curran related this story, ‘‘the mastiff may have left your centre, but he could not have left much gravity behind him, among the bystand- ers.” +* I have a real sympathy with my young schoolboy friends whose teachers impose upon them the duty of writing an essay upon some subject. Very geod exercise it is for tnem, and very funny are the pro- ductions which are sometimes handed in. I cannot refrain from giving one which is really genuine. The subject was Colum- pus. It is as follows :—
‘*Clumbus was aman whocould make an egg stand on end without breaking it. The King of Spain said to Clambus, ‘Can you discover America?’ ‘ Yes,’ said Clumbus, ‘if you will give mea ship.’ So he had a ship, and sailed over the sea in the direction where ne thought America ought to be found. The sailors quarrelled, and said they believed there was nosuch place. But after many days the pilot came to him and said; ‘ Clum- bus, I see land.” ‘Then that is America,’ said Clumbus, When the ship got near, the land was full of black men. Clumbus said: ‘Is this America?’ ‘ Yes, it is,’ said they. Then he said: ‘I suppose you are the nig- gers?’ ‘Yes,’ said they, ‘we are.’ The chiet said: ‘I suppose you are Clumbus?’ ‘You are tight,’ said he. Then the chief turned to his men and said: ‘ There is no help for ~it ; we are discovered at last.’” * * * I have been asked to give a list of the principal noms de plume,adopted by modern English and American writers. The re- quest is not a reasonable one. I should not be able to give anything approaching an exiaustive list, although | have a _toler- ably complete one in my note book, consist- ing of four hundred and sixty-eight names. if 1 were to transcribe it it would occupy over three columns of THe Examiner, of the same description of type with which this column is printed,and I doubt whether a sufficient number of readers would care to peruse such a list. I am quite willing tg do this—give the nom de plume of any author, regarding which any of my cor- respondents require information—that is if it is upon my hat, orif I can procure the information he requires, It is rather curious that the word nom de plume is uot known in French, in which language the proper equivalent is nom de guerre. +_*

Scott rose by five o'clock, lit his own fire when the season required one, and shaved and dressed with great deliberation; ‘* for says his biographer, ‘* he was a very mar- tinet, as to all but the mere coxcumbries of the toilet, not abhorring effeminate dandy- ism itself so cordially as the slightest ap- proach to personal siovenliness, or
even those bed-gown or slipper tricks
as he called them, in which literary men are so apt to indulge. Arrayed in his shooting jacket, or whatever dress he meant to use till dinner time, he was seated by his desk at six o’clock, all his papers ar- ranged before him in the most accurate order, and his books of reference marshal- led around him on the floor, while at least one favorite dog lay watching, his eye just beyond the line of cireumballation, | Thus by the time the family assembled for break- fast, between mime and ten, he had done enough (in his own language) ‘to break the neck of the day’s work.’ After break- fast a couple of hours more given to his solitary tasks, and, by noon, he was, as he used to say ‘his own man.’ When the weather was bad, he would labor incessant- ly all the morning; but the general rule was to be out and on horseback by one o'clock at the latest; while, if any more distant excursion had been proposed over night, he was ready to start on it by ten; his occasional rainy days of unintermitted study forming, as he said, a fund in his favor, out of which he was entitled to draw for accommodation whenever the sun shone with special brightvess.
