: The Theatre of War.

Tue scene of war now centres between Alexandria and Aboukir. The names most frequently mentioned in our dispatches are those of Ramleh and Aboukir. Ramleh is a favorite summer resort of the Alexandri- ans, and also of Europeans with unlimited means and a great capacity for doing noth- ing. This popular seaside town is aboui four miles north-east from Alexandria, and is reached by asplendid and fashion- able drive, which may be called the Rotten Row of Egypt. The town, before the latest exodus, contained about 10,000 inhabit- ants. The climate there is cool and pleas- ant, fresh breezes blowing over it from the Mediterranean. The town is filled with luxuriantly furnished houses belonging to nabob Europeans. These are now deso- late. The place can easily be attacked from the sea, and there isa great prob- ability of its being “‘ boomed” from that direction. Arabi is strongly fortifying the place, for it is here that there is one of the principal stations of the Cairo railway.

Aboukir, the ancient Canopus, is a small Village on the coast of Egypt, thirteen miles north-east of Alexandria. It contains a strong castle which was used as a state prison during the reign of Mehemet Ali Stretching to the eastward as far as the Rosetta mouth of the Nile, is the spacious bay of Aboukir. This bay is celebrated on | account of Nelson's victory over the French | which was gained on August, 1, 1798, and | is known as the ‘*‘ Battle of the Nile.” It | is near this place that the expedition to| Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercromby, in 1801, was successful in landing, although | opposed by a strong force.

ide EEE ° | The Salvation Army.

GenekaL Boorn and his army of peace | have been successful beyond precedent. | But falreedy the axe is laid tu the root of | the tree. Great difference of opinion now exists as to the permanent usefulness of | the movement, and grave fears are express- ed lest some of the agencies employed by the General may lead to greater evi) than the ills they seek tocure. The night meet ings seem to be specially attacked, and this is what one experienced divine tells the General :—‘‘ The religions history of the past is full of warning as to the results of such a method. It sets aside the ordinance of uature giving the day to man for labour and the night for rest. At the best it sends men and women to their day’s work jaded and worn with excitement of the night. It gives occasion of scandal to those who seek occasion. In not a few cases what seemed a spiritual emotion passes almost unconsciously into a sensual excita bility.” The opposition and brutality of the English roughs, which disgrace the annals of every religious movement in England, have subsided ; but their places have been filled with a danger no less great, viz: that of a susceptibility to flattery and and to lion zing, Booth was anxious to raise a large sum of money for the purchase of a mammoth hall. Letters were sent asking for funds. The Queen, and many of the nobility answered in a courteous manner, but sent nothing. Ata meeting of the Army these letters were read, and when the signatures were reached the ex- citement was intense and the applause deafening. That is rather a bad sign at a prayer meeting. Another great danger is that of the commercial spirit in their work. At Mussel Hill, after a vigorous meeting, and while the excitement was at its height, ‘officers of the army could be seen offering Salvation handkerchiefs for sale. Nor was this all, Salvation bonnets for the sisters were offered at double their marketable value, and Hallelujah watches have just been put into the meeting market. It is much to be regretted that a movement which promised so much of Apostolic sim- plicity at the beginning, should so soon lose its original fervour and fall back on business principles. Any great work done fer the ‘‘ Carpenter of Nazareth,” must be carried out in His spirit. His army must not work with the weapons and the prin- ciples of this world, but must remember that His Kingdom is of another world. When rel.gion diverges from that sacred principle, its decadence may be slow, but it is certainly sure.

+ Excursions and Teas.

TEA PARTY AT CRAPAUD.

The weather of Friday was doubtful and unsatisfactory. The excursion party from Charlottetown was, consequently, not so large as it would have been, and many friends and pleasure-seekers in the country were also deterred from attending. Still, | those who had the courage to run a risk for | their pleasure were well rewarded. The tea and entertainment on the fine breezy grounds of D. W. Palmer, Esq., reflected great credit upon the energetic ladies by whom they were provided ; and the walks and drives about the neighborhood were a delightful treat~-at least to the citizens. Crapaud is one of our finest settlements ; and contains many tasteful rural homes. The people do not cut away all the trees; and there is a plaesing diversity in the Jand. scapes, which are, undoubtedly, among the finest in the Province. Anyone wishing to see to what perfection thorn and spruce | hedges can be cultivated in P. E. Island should visit Crapaud; and there are several farm steadings and residences in the settle- ment which are good examples of what order, neatness, and thrift, can do to make farm life comfortable and beautiful. The Episconal Church and Rectory, in aid of which the tea was held, are situate between Victoria and Crapand Corner. They are in charge of the Rev. T. D. Johnston, and his amiable wife ; and seem, as they deserve, to be well supported,

THE PUBLIC SPIRIT OF CHARLOTTETOWN,

I have secn in late papers that Mr. Burpee, of St. John, has offered to found a Free Public Library for the town of Port- land, New Brunswick. I do not wish to comment upon this; the deed itself is its own best praise. But the actions of others naturally make us think of our own; and when we see on all sides of us, in England, in the States, in the Upper Provinces, in New Brunswick, in Nova Scotia, and even in unsettled Manitoba, generous gifts pre- sented to the people, and liberal offerimgs made for the common good, it can only be with sorrow, and with not a little shame, that we remember, that never has this Island produced a man whose generosity could be seen beyond the circle of his immediate friends, It is not a pleasant fact to think of; it is not one that increases our admiration for ‘‘successful Islanders,” either at home or abroad ; but it is a pain- fully apparent one, nevertheless, that we have never had a citizen sufliciently noble and sufficiently public spirited, to sacrifice even to a small extent, himself or his rela- tions for the sake of the common weal; that never has the liberality of a native of Char- lottetown, towards his own city, been re- corded in a single gift.

1 have ff€quently been asked by visitors to the Province, ‘‘ What are ‘ the lions’ of the place?’ Most towns of the size have something that they are proud of, have some- thing that visitors will be interested to see. But we, what have we? I have really been ashamed when I have had to ‘ell my friends that there are no “‘lions.” I have been ashamed before them of the whole town, ashamed in the streets when I have seen them blinded with dust, ashamed in the Market Square when they have been choked with stench, ashamed to tell them that though we live by the sea, we have no decent place for sea-bathing, and ashamed most of all when I have been asked, where are our institutions, where are our libraries, our museums, our art-collections, our

(houses of refuge, our asylums, where ‘is

there anything that speaks of pepular instruction or popular amusement, where is there anything outside the churches that speaks of our living in a christian land /

The reason for this great lack in Char- luttetown is not far to seek. Selfishness and narrow-minded pride are at the bottom ofitall. It seems to be every man’s object to make what he can out of the town ; and no one’s aim to care for it and its interests, as though they were his own. Men make their money, and build fine houses. They think they have good positions and that their children must have the same ; and so they will do any meanness to keep their money in their families. Years of personal selfishness and personal pride have robbed the town of all that was best in it, have sapped away its energy, its public charity, its public spirit. To-day, the best young blood is fast flowing from it ; to-day there is searcely a young man or young woman of any class who does not find it intolerably dull. Whocan blame them? There is no intellectual energy or activity in the place People need it, and what they c:nnor get here, they will seek elsewhere. If they go away, their minds will at least be enlarged by contact with large-minded men ; if they remain here, what examples have tiey? The highest they can look up to are their own fathers, and what those fathers have been, the state of the City of Charlotte- town, physically and intellectually, best tells.

Lawn Tennis.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sir,—lI see a smal/ notice in your paper of yesterday, referring to Lawn Tennis. I am very glad that there is to be a match in Charlottetown, as | feel sure the team which went to Summerside will not be backward in accepting a challenge from any two players. I hope the match will be played on the Park grounds, so as to give the public a chance of witnessing the contest.

THE amusement-loving public will be glad to learn the ever-popular Tavernier-Lewis Co. are to give two more performances in this city, on Monday and Tuesday next. The Company made an immense bit on their for- mer visit, and will be gladly welcomed back ‘they preseut to new plays. On Monday will be given the famous comic drama, ‘‘ Joshua Whitcomb,” which has been performed over | two thousand times in the United States. On | Tuesday evening Arrah na Pogue will be given. This is one of Dion Boucicault’s best dramas, and abounds in startling situations and fine effects. It will be given with all the original music, songs, etc. The manner in which the Company produced Rosedale on their first engegement isa guarantee that this play will be well worth witnessing. The piece requires in its presentation, a large number of auxilliar- ies as soldiers, peavsarts, etc. , and the success of the season is looked for.
