Legislative Council Elections.

Our frieods in the Second Legislative Council District of Queen’s County wil! be glad to real the *‘Card"’ of Jume- Nicholsoo, E-q., of Belfast, which wil! be found in avother column. It has th right ring about it. Than Mr. Nichol son, we know of no man more likely to respect and protect (if need be) the right» of property; and when he says * the limited vature of our resources as a Pro- vince, and the inability of our people t bear heavy direct taxation, impose the practice of economy ou our public men as a paramount duty ” he says so because he is hosestly and sincerely in sympathy with the property-holders—the taxpay- ers—of ‘he couutry. And when he says that, he will, as heretofore “steadily support the abolition of the Council, and a careful and economical administration of public affairs,” th electors of his District may _ rest assured tuat he will do so. Mr. Nicheol- son has beeo presented with uumerousty sigued requisitions from all parts of th. District; aud, on the faith of these, he now takes the field with every prospect of success.

°_- , . if elected

Our correspondent, whose letter ap- pears io another column, places none too high a value upoa the honesty and faithfulness of Mr. Bolger asa repre- sentative and servant of the people of his district. Mr. Bolger has proved himself to be a true man ia the Legis- Jature. Faults which he had to find wiih the Admivistration were set forih by him in a straightforward, manly way. He never shirked his duty to his consti- tuents; and while others, for the sake of “the little bit of pay” shirked or equivo- cated, or deliberately broke their prom- ises to vote for the abolition of the Legis lative Council, Mr. Bolger has, at every opportunity, voted as his constituents directed and expected him to vote on this important question. He now goes to the polls agaio, strengthened by personal observation in his views respecting the practical uselessness of the Council and the ueces-ity of a reduction of the Legis- lature asa means of keeping from the taxpayers the burden of direct taxation. We hope for his triumphant return.

Says the Montreal Star :—

‘‘It is somewhat strange to find the Liberal opposition in Prince Eiward Island favoring the keeping up of a second chamber in the L cal Legislature. What a province with a population much less than the city of Montreal can possibly want with such an expensive luxury is more than sen- sible men of either party will be able to make out. Those who favor the curtail- ment of our present costly system will look with approval upon the action of the Island government in pressing for the abolition of the Council.”

Upon which the Halifax Herald re- marks :—

“It would be indeed ‘strange’ to find a ‘Liberal’ party doing what the Grits in P. EK. Island are doing; but the trouble is that the Grits of P. E. Island like their name- sakes in the rest of the Dominion, are no more ‘Liberals’ than are the dominant party in Corea. Goldwin Smith who prob- ably knows more about what Liberalism is than any other man in Canada, has, over his own siguature, declared that ‘‘nothing can possibly be more illiberal than Gritism.’ Consequently there is nothing so very ‘strarge, after all, in finding the Grits o! P. E. Island like their brethren in Nova Scotia, fighting for the continuance of use- less second chambers. The strangeness would be in finding them do anything else.”

Here’s what the Montreal Witness

says —

‘Oar little Provincial Parliaments with their Upper Houses of play-lords are the laughing stock of the world, and now that Canada is beginning to attract attention should be swept away for this if no other reason. Now that we have become men, and desire to be regarded as such, we should putaway “‘childest things.”

And this is what the Toronto Globe says :—

‘Certainly any step toward simplifying the machinery and lessening the expense of local legislation isa step in the right and common sense direction. Still it seems difficult to see what necessary function is to be performed by an Upper Honse of Pirliament of the dimensions indicated, unless, indeed, it be to furnish a tangible illustration, and reductie ad absurdum, of the pettiness of the conservatism which

rsists is travestying on every little eolonial piatform the grand stagery of the British House of Lords.”

Seeing that leading Liberals and Conservatives, alike agree that Legis- lative Councils are not required, we may trust, without doubting, that a large number of Liberal votes will, aloug with the LiberaleConserva- tive votes of this Province, be cast for the candidates who come out

squarely for the abolition of our useless Legislative Council.

Lh i Tux Scotchman of October 3rd gives a long accvunt of an interesting relic of Burns pre- served in the Select Subecription Library at Edinburgh, which is now being dispersed. This is Burns’ own copy of Robert Ferguson's com containing the holograph of the well nown lines entitled “‘Inscribetl under Fer- guson's Portrait” and several other verses. It is noticable that the hulo apb differs in two or three yeepects from the eas as printed from 1803 downward, and that it happens to = written, above and not below the portrait. be book was given bv Bayona as shown by an on 3p b baad weitiey, td thd pow

Anarchy in France.

Tue Anarchist disturbance in France is ecoming wide-spread, News received by our despatescs is most alarming, and a general out creak may be effected at any moment. It is believed that Prince Krap- otkine is a* the bottom of the Anarchist organization, and that he has for his object the downfall of President Grevy and the restoration of Gambetta to power. The Lonéon News of the 30rh, has the followe eg from Lyons: ‘*Ti e@ troops ovcupy the railway and all strategic points in tne city. Che soldiers have been strictly forbidden to 1old communication with civilians. The party dominating Lyons are prepared at the word of command to lay any portion of he city in ashes. If further explosions oceur the city will be placed under martial law. Threatening letters abound; the wchbishop and director of the post office received such missives and the persona of both are carefuliy guarded Late on Sun day evening the police discovered and seized 40 kilogrammes of dynomite.”

The Paris correspondent of the Manches- ter Guardian says that ‘he has never heard so much auxiety expressed in regard to the ‘ature as now,” arrests are being made, roops sent for, business suspended, while a dynamite factory has been discovered and he mob threatens to attack the banks, ete. The New York Sun’s London cable letter says: ‘* The official note of the French G»- vernment has not had the effect of calming the public mind, and it is apparent that Anarchist organization is widespread and most effective im its workings, and that it can, aa a Paris journal said yesterday, nrodnes from its headquarters on the banks of Lake Geneva, explosions of dynamite in all quarters of France and defy arrest or interference.”

A A Halloween.

In the north of England the evening eof the thirty-first of October, or All Hallow’s eve, isknown by the name of ‘‘nut crack night.” Ifa young girl would fain know the state of her lover's heart on that. mys- erious evening, she takes three nuts and places thom on the blazing logs. Should the nut named after her lover begin at once to burn she is assured that the young man nasa tender regard for her. Should it rack, his vows are not to be trusted, but if the two nuts bearing her own and her lover’s name burn at one and the same time, a marriage is immediately predicted. As Burns says in his poem on Halloween:—

“The auld guidwif’s well hoordit-nats Are round ard round divided,

And mony lads’ and lasses’ fates Are there that night decided ;

Some kindle, couthie, side by side, And burn thegither trimly ;

Some start awa’ wi’ saucy pride And jump out-owre the chimly

Fu’ high that night.”

Another favorite custom among young people is to go out blindfolded into the garden and pull up the first stalk of cole- wort (a kind of cabbage) that comes to the hand. The amount of earth that clings to the roots indicates the dowry, while the taste of the pith shows the temper of the future wife or husband. The size and straightness of the stalks are also carefully noticed, and then the pieces of colewort are hang up over the outer door to await the coming of the fated individual.

Perhaps the most amusing sport of all is the ‘“‘bobbing for apples.” For one who has never tried the experiment it may seem an easy matter to seize with the teeth a floating apple from atub of water. But we who have ducked our silly heads in numerous ineffectual struggles cannot easily forget the exasperating wriggles of the aforesaid apples as we tried to grasp them. Sometimes, indeed, s small apple may be adroitly sucked up, or a large one quickly seized by the stem, but the only sure method is to force some particular apple to the bottom of the tub. Then you may rise, dripping, helf suffocated, to be sure, but—triumphant! The sport is often- times varied by dropping forks from a certain height down into atub amung the apples, and then, of course, the best marksman wins the prize.

Another old custom is to take a long stick and to fasten upon one end an apple and upon the other end a lighted candle. This stick is then suspended horizontally from the ceiling by a stout string and made to twirl swiftly round. The young people, with hand tied behind them, form a pro- session, and one by one attempt to take a bite from the apple in its rapid ‘revolutions. Very often, however, the candle is se'zed instead of the apple, and greasy, smutty, sometimes scorched faces are the dirs re- sults.

But, besides these merry sports, various weird spells are tried at Halloween—the night when spirits are said to travel through space untrammelled by the body. If, for instance, an apple is eaten before a looking glass at midnight, it is averred by the superstitious that one’s future wife or hus- band may be seen peeping over the shoul- der. The sowing of hemp seed, the winnowing of afew grains of corn, or the going down cellar stairs backward, with a lighted candle in the hand, may also bring the desired apparition, but all nervous people do well to remember the old grand- dame’s advice to ‘‘ wee Jenny :”

** Ye little skelpie-sinner’s face ! I daut you try sc sportin’ As svek the foul thief ony place, For him to spau your fortune. Nae doubt but you may get a sight ! Great cause ye hae to fear it, For mony a ane has gotten a fright, And lived and died deleeret, On sic a night.” —Portland Transcript.

Tue information as to the plot of the Poet Laureate’s new drama, which he has called ** The Promise of May,” ouly temporarily, it ‘s believed, with a view of changing it be- fore its production, is correct so far as it goes. The heroine fiads out too late for her own peace ot mind that the mao she loves is the libertine who ruined and deserted her dead sister, and it is on this discovery that the chief situation of the piece depend. The piece is thoroughly rural in tone throng) ont, the scene being laid in Lincolnshire, the coun- try which has so often served Mr. Tennyson for a background to his poms. The subject was one which the Laureate had long intended & deal with in verse; and it is Only within the last twelve months that, thanks to the new tuyn given to his pen by the pristuction of the ** Falwon” and the “Cup.” he decides to make a drama of it. ‘The Promise of May” has been read by Mr. Henry Irving.
