Communication with the Mainland.
Ir is pleasing to note that the press of the Mainland is also calling attention to | the preseut very defective means of com- | munication with this Province. A few} weeks ago the Toronto Globe published a clear and truthful statement of existing difficulties of crossing to and fro. Monctor Jimes, a few days, ago published the resolutions passed at the meetings held here, and the Moncton Transcript has an article in which it says:
‘* We hope the discussion and the resolute attitude of the Island people in a matter of so much importance may have the effect ot

We hope to hear a strong and general expression of public opinion from the neighboring Provinces in tavor of im-
proved communication. This is an interprovincial matter, affecting the interests of the whole of Canada, and
especially those of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and P. E. Island. With

~—-King’s County meeting is to be held at Georgetown, on the eveniag of Friday the 9th iust. King’s is deeply interested. If facilities were afforded, the fine settle- ments at the back of Souris, Georgetown and Murray Harbor would soon make up a lacrative traffic. The people of King’s should have the use of a summer steamer ; and for wiuter use a larger aod more suitable boat than the ‘Northern Light” is required. We hope they will demand these facilities—and get them.

Hillsborough Ferry. Tup agitation for better accommoda- tion should be productive of good results. All. are agreed that men, women and children, should not be compelled to stay on the wharves for hours to together, noder a scorching sun or in the chill November blasts, waiting their turn to go on board the ferry boat ; and all are agreed that, if possible, some means of overcoming the difficulties of crossing while the ice is making in the fall and breaking up in the spring, sheuld be pro- vided. As to the best means tobeemployed —there is where difference of opinion lies. The question is one to be well consider. ed by the Government. No doubt they will do the.best.they can. As one of the speakers at the Pownal Meeting re- marked there are “good practical men in the Goverument ;” and—the want being a réal and pressing oue—we have no détibt they wiil provide, as soon as possible andas far as possible, the im- proved eccommodation so much required. More than that no reasonable person will expect.

Factories at Crapaud.
Tere. are few settlements on the Island in a better position to undertake the supply of starch aud cheese factories. We trust the effort which is now being put forth te establish these factories at Crapaud will be succéssful. The site proposed—near Howatt’s Mill—seems to us an excellent one.

—Iu Enogland. and Europe, great storms are associeted by the peasantry with the deaths of great men. The storm which occurred about Cromwell’s time was long remembered, and it was a common remark among country people when Wellington died: “Oh, the rain won't give in until the Duke is buried.” In France, the deaths of Chanzy and Gambetta, have occurred at the time of storm and devastating floods, which will serve to strengthen the superstition.
—From the shores of the Pacific it is reported that the Canada Pacifie Railway Compay “contemplate not only the con- struction and maintenance of a trats- continental road and its branches, but lipes of steamers to Europe, China, i and Australia.” If the company can raise the capital, they will work a great revolution in the carrying trade.
A Swedish farmer had a pretty daughter with whom his hired man fei! inlove. The old man refusing him he determined to emigrate to the United States. The old man, unable to persuade him to stay, went to the steamship to see him off. He offered to help him carry his big blue box on the steamer. ‘‘It is pretty heavy,” said the old man. ‘‘It will be lighter before it gets to America,” said the young man. And so it was —the same minute. For the bottom gave way and ont rolled the pretty danghter. She blushed and explained, and the upshot was that her father promised the young fellow that if he wonld come back with some money in his pockei. within iwo years he should marry the young woman.

The frozen meat trade between Australia and England is not likely to prove a suc- cess. The result of a recent venture in mutton is a heavy loss. Against this is to be placed the acquired fact that frozen Auatra‘ian mutton cannot be placed in Eng- land for less than 64d a Ib.; and that, if the first cost be more than 2d—3d being the present price—the venture must entail a
loss. The facts show one decided advan- tage which our Northwest has over Australia.
The increase in the wealth and popula- tion of the young State of Nebraska is mar- vellous. When that State was admitted into the Union, in 1867, the population was about 70,000, and the assessed value of property about $20,000,000. The popu- la'ion is now over 600,000, and the prop- erty valuation is 898,537,485; the taxation is two mills on the dollar, the bonded debt about $500,000 and the State holds 2,582,- 868 acres of land set apart for educational purposes. Nebraska also has the advan- tage of a large influx of immigrants.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter has just issued to its subscribers a volume of over 400 pages. In it are to be found names of over 26,000 persons or firms engaged in the various branches of the leather trade. Among these are the names of more than 1000 persons doing business in the British provinces, and the special line of trade of each firm. The publishers have come to the conclusion that there are inore shoe- makers and fewer tanners to-day than there were one yearago. It is evident that the trade in all its departments, is working into amore satisfactory condition, and that the promise is fair that it will prove reasonably remunerative to those who prosecute their business judiciously.

Mrs. Langtry was chivalrously treated in
Georgia.
M. Duclerc, the late French Premier, is seriously ill.
Mr. Gibson, M. P. P., for Hamilton, is spoken of as probable successor to Hon. Adam Crooks as Ontario Minister of Education.
Mrs. Alice Elvia Evans, nee Johnsen, of Teronto, has given notice that she will apply to Parliament for an act of divorce from her husband.
The Duke of Manchester again writes stating that he has resigned the Presi- dency of the Canada Northwestern Land Company. He expects that the Company’s profits will prove even larger than he anti- cipated.
The ex-Empress Eugenie denies that she either wrete to or saw Prince Jerome Napoleon during her stay in Paria, and atates that the sole object of her visit was to sympathize with Princess Mathilde. She also asserts that she received no hint from the French Government that her departure Was necessary.
The remarks of Sir A. T. Galt upon the Imperial federation, in his address at Edinburgh, upon the relation of the colonies to the Empire, have caused con- siderable comment iu England and Seot- land. The sentiment to which Sir Alex. gave exprission met with a very cordial reception at the hands of his andience.
A Berlin despatch says :~Over three thousand congratulatory letters and tele- grams were received by the Crown Prince and Princess; also a hundred packages which have not been opened. The Em- peror presented a massive silver tea service ; the Queen of England sent a marble statue of herself. The ten chief towns of Prussia have given a suite of dining room furniture valued at 76,000 marks. Berlin donated 118,000 marks for the foundation of a sanitary school; 800,000 marks collected throughout Germany have been received for benevolent purposes. The British Consul sent 30,000 marks for building an English church.
The Yckohama, Japan, papers publish the full details of an exciting ocean race between the regular mail steamer, com manded by Capt Swain, and the American sailing ship ‘‘ Paul Revere,” commanded by Capt. John Mullin, on the passage from Hiogo to Yokohama. The steamer left Hiogo on Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 6.30 p. m., and the ‘* Paul Revere” sailed an hour and a halt later, with a strong breeze, and in ballast trim. At 4o’clock the next morn- ing the ship overhauled and passed the steamer, and the middle of the forenoon had left her so far astern that not even her smoke was visible. Unfortunately for the ehip, the wind moderated, and soon the steamer began to show herself, and recovered her lost ground rapidly Early in the afternoon the ship vas second in the race, but the wind was freshening, and once more she stretched away from her empetiter, which she quickly passed and left astern for the last time. The ship eplit her maintop-sail, but anew one was quick- ly bent, though some time was lost. Capt. Mullia arrived here (Y«kohama) at 4 a, m. on Thursday, and Capt. Swain came in 6 honrs later—a difference of 74 hours in favor of the ship. The ‘Paul Revere’s”
trip—32 boura—is the quickest ever made
| between these purts.

Tur Mission at St. Poter’s Church, closed Jast evening with a solemn Te Deum surg before thealtar. The church was crowded. The services for the General Communion this morning were fairly attended. In our para- graph last eveuiag, ‘‘evening” was misprinted for ‘‘morning.” These services are never held in the evening.

Tue literary and musical entertainment in St. Patrick’s Hall last evening, in aid of St. Vincent de Paul Society, was quite successful. A very yood programme was produced, and those who took part were well prepared, con- sidering the short notice. The vecal and in- strumental music was excellently rendered, while the recitations of Mr. McLean called forth an encere. St. Dunstan’s Choir sang three very goed choruses—'‘* Sunrise,” ‘‘To the Great Lrod,” and ‘“‘Good Night.” Miss Smith showed her excellence as a pianist in the rendering of the ‘‘ March des Tambours.” Mra. M. Blake, who is a most popular vocal- ist, secured a well-merited encore for the rerdi- tion of the ‘‘Blue Alsatian Mountains.’”’ Miss Newbery charmed the audience by singivg ‘*‘When the leaves begin to Turn.” Mr, Reeds song the ‘King and the Miller,” and Professor Caven’s new production ‘‘Our Jacks’ come home again,” were excellent. They re- ceived encores. Mrs. Jas. Byrne who is one of the most pleasing vocalists of the city sang, “Jessie's Dream,” ‘‘Beautiful Love,” and ‘‘Last Hope,” in splendid style to,accom- paniments played by Miss S. J. Smith. The Misses Quirk played the ‘‘Witches Flight’ with good taste and were heartily applauded. Altogether the entertainment was very pleas- ant. It was also we are pleased to learn a tinancial suc cess.

Sis, —1 suggest to my learned friend, who writes over the nom de piume of ‘*Vich Dhomnuil Nan Ord,” the necessity, when he writes for the papers, to write sense. I have often enjoyed his epistles. They have been spicy and always readable. But when he tells us that the Scott Act is ‘the vilest of all humbugs,’’ I really think he might have made at least one exception. His written opinion is not certainly very complimentary to the clergy and temper- ance men of this Province. I for one, have no desire to return to the dark ages of ‘andlordism and license liquor lawa. Thank God they are numbered with the things of the past.
Yours, ete., Anti-Humsvua.

The Registrar-General for [reland, in his report for 1882, gives some information relative to Irish migratory agricultural laborers. Mr. Grimshaw prefaces his tabulated returns with the observation that **the earnings of migratory laborers are such an important element in the annual income of many of the peasant families of the West of Ireland, that the falling-off in numbers shown must cause a material re- duction in the means of subsistence of these poor peoples.” From the returns obtained by the enuimerators of agricultural statis- tics, it appears that there were in June of last year 16,836 persons (including six females) who had either left or intended to leave their homes to seek employment as agricultural laborers elsewhere. Of these, 5,537 had not left their homes at the time of the enumeration. A review of the returns furnished by the agricultural enumerators shows that the total number of those in Ireland who followed harvesting was, in the year 1882, 16,836.
