A New Yorker who is supposed to be truthful is said to have found a plumber’s bill which reads as follows:—Fixing up Smith's busted pipes, to wits—Going to see the job, $1: coming back for tools ana help, $2; finding the leak, $1.50; sending for more help, $!.25; going for solder forgotten, $l; burned my finger, $2; lost my tobacco, 50c.; getting to work, $3; getting my assistants to work, $2 50; fixing the pipe, 25c.; going — $2.50; time, solder, wear tear on tools, overalls, thier 829.00,
| additional funds wiil be granted if neces- jsary. Gen. Gordon advises that the arsenals be handed over to the various Sultans. His greatest ditticulty will be in | the disposal of the arsenals at Khartoum, Dongola and Kassala, where there are no | Sultans, because those places have sprung |up since Mehemet’s conquest. He ad- vises that the final decision be postponed until the inhabitants have been con- sulted. Gen. Gordon believes that the bulk of El Mahdi's troops at El Obeid will refuse to cross the Nile. He thinks only four thousand, chiefly blacks, will cross, and that the latter will desert El Mahdi if offered fair terms. He considers it to be an iniquity to reconquer the Soudan for the Khedive, as it would be a useless posseszion on account of its deadly climate.
Russia Gains an Advantage over England,
Lonpon, Feb. 15.
The German press says the submission of the tribes of Merv to Russia is worse for England than the disasters in the Soudan. It comments upon the remarkable success of the Russian policy in Central Asia, and says it is always directed against England. lf the Russians should stand agsin before the walls of Constantinople the English would be disabled from summoning them to halt as they did in 1878. Russia will become the immediate neighbor of the British in India, and will be able at any moment to create a disturbance in Northern India. Now only Afghanistan is between Russia ani India.

LETTERS £0 THE EDITOR.
Letter from Capt. Stewart.
Sin,—In yesterday’s edition of Tur Datty Examiner, an item appears which reads as followe:—
**We learn that the Band of the 82nd Bat- talion was inspected last evening, by Capt. D. Stewart, of No. 3 Company. Two mem- bers were present, After the inspection the Captain expressed himself well pleased with the turnout.”
1 beg to state, Mr. Editor, that the above item is altogether untrue, and am surprised that you should allow anything so contemp- tible to appear in the columns of your jovraal. The Band of the 82nd Battalion was not inspected by me, nor was there any inspection ordered for the evening. I re- ceived an order from the Commanding Officer to notify the members of the band to return into store all clothing and other property in their possession belonging tu the 82ad Battalion Band, and I attended at the Band Room tbat evening to take account of all articles returned, and not to inspect the Band. I am happy to state that, instead of only two members being present, thera were fourteen {(sixteen being fuli band) at regular practice, and that the Band of the 82nd Battalion was never in a beiter position than it is at present. Ifthe above item was intended to injure the &2nd Battalion Band in the public estimation, you have made quite a mistake, As the 82nd Battalion Band is still under the efficient leadership of Mr. Galbraith, his ability as a band-master is & sure guarantee for a first-class band always.

Another Letter from Mr, Harle.
Sir,—An apology for a musical criticism, on a recent Concert, appeared in the Patriot on Thursday last. I bave been frequently asked who were the authors? ifthe writers were in earnest? or whether it was intended tor a piece of sarcasm as it oontained nothing but fulsome flattery throughout. I rather think the authors are again troubled with the oriwm sordes, or else under a delusion, and ought to have been a little more respectful in their hints towards me. I am sure if the gentleman alluded to is possessed of the common sense the writer imputed to him, he must have laughed when he read that sickening article. The shortness of the programme, and expecta- tions of getting ‘‘Coming thro’ the Rye,” “Old Black Jas,’’ and ‘‘Pop Goes the Weasel,” completely overcame the musical critic of the Patriot. A word to the wise
is sufficient.

Political Mceting at Pownal. A large and influential meeting of the electors of Pownal and vicinity was con- vened in Pownal Hall, on the 15th inst. The meeting was organized by appointing Mr. F. H. Campbell to the chair and the undersigned as Secretary. Mr. Alexander Martin, the Government candidate, was the first to address the meet- ing. He ably defended the working of the present Government, going into the finan- cial position of our country, and proved to a demonstration that the acts of the present Government was all that could be desired by a people requiring economy and re- trenchment at their hands. Mr. Duncan MeMillan, the Opposition candidate, was the next to speak. He re- ferred to what had brought the people together, and stated he was in dead opposi- tion to the present Government, and if elected would try to keep the Island out of debt. He roferred the meeting to his card, stated that he was no orator, and then re- sumed his seat amidst applause. Speeches in favor of the Government were then given by Hon. D. Ferguson and Hon. Wm. Campbell, and against the Government by Hon. David Laird, D. Farquharson, J. F. Robertson, and Beer. A great many electors sup- porting both sides of the House were pres- ent. The meeting was a very large ono, and comparatively orderly, considering all things. A vote of thanks being tendered to the chairman the meeting closed. P. M. JENKINS, Secretary.
