Editorial Notes,

It is stated that the

population of Moncton will S000 exceed ten thousand. How the bad N. P. is decimating our towns !

Mr. Perley, lately called to the Senate, isa New Brunswicker who has succeeded in the Northwest. It is expected that Hon. Mr. Dewdney, Minister of the Interior, will sit for his constituency.

t is expected that General Boulanger will be defeated in the coming election, M. Herve says the general feeling in France was one of a pathetic expectancy. There is absolutely no political personage who now commands the contidence of the people or who gets much of their attention.

Che Hmpire remarks: **The North west has been urging that the Minister specially called to administer territorial atfairs should be one thoroughly conversant with its rejuirements. By unanimous con sent Hon. Mr. Dewdney was pointed to as best qualified to fill the position,

North-westerners have now got their wish,’

Some of the Methodists are demanding that the laity shall be effectively represent- ed on the Stationing Committees, and that the of the quarterly boards shall not be without effect in selection of ministers. It is contended that the change is necessary ‘“‘in view of the increasing tendency in the clergy to consider the in terests of the ministers rather than those of the circuits,”

When

Themistocles wanted to get rid of Aristides the people voted his exclusion on the regu- lation oyster shells, and the banishment was fair and square. President Svlomons is the ruler of the Hayti Republic, and he has just got rid of an inconvenient rival in a manner yuite as effectual and simpler in its machinery. He told Gen.,Manigot, the inconvenient rival aforesaid, that he had better leave Hayti for the present, as it was uncomfortable to have so powerful an aspirant to the Presidency in the country, and he (Sclomon) wanted the office for the remainder of his days. The request was wccompanied by a gift of $5,000. The gen- eral took the pointed and sugared hint and is now on his way to Europe, feeling that it was the safest course. The nineteenth centuary republic is a very wonderful crea- tion, with flexible institutions.”

Caledonian Club,

Tue regular meeting of this National tuok place at the Club Room, Queen Street, on Tuesday evening July Slat, at which there was a good attendance f members. In the absence of the Presi- dent, Lt.-Col. Irving, ex-President A. Mc- Neill was called tothe chair. The Games Committee reported that the arrangements for the approaching Gathering of the Clans at Charlottetown were progressing favor- ably. The grand stand, capable of seating 2,000, was contracted for, and the work

umenced. The caterer, Mr. Vatcher, whose tender for the exclusive privileges of the grounds has been accepted, is providing ample supplies for the thousands who will take advantage of the cheap excursion rates by rail and steamer to this great national gathering. The gold medal offered by Presvlent Irving, the silver medals, and upwards of $125 in cash awarded by the Ciab, will doubtless cause keen competition im all the games.

Che annual Scottish gathering is always largely patronized by all sects au national- ities, and as there was no Gathering of the Clans last year, owing to the commemora- tion of the Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, at which the Scottish element was strongly represented, we may expect that the Scottish Gathering of 1888 will be one of more than ordinary interest.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, -

The Camilla Urso Concert.

THosre who had the ill fortune to miss being present at this concert last night lost a rare treat. The Lyceum Hall contained & most appreciative audience, and loud and long was the applause with which they greeted the most interesting items in the programme. Madame Camila Urso, who has been styled, and not unworthily, the | queen of lady violinists, was of course the ‘centre of attraction, and a right hearty

welcome did she receive. Her violin play-

jing is certainly of the highest order. She jexcels in her sense of time and tune, and | her execution is simply marvellous. Besides { this, ber restful and quiet demeanor, and | her graceful bowing give her performances an additional charm. We cannot | strongly urge our readers to do their best to | hear this reraarkable musician before she | leaves the Island. A reference to our ad | vertising columns will show that a second iconcert will be given to-night, and a mati- | nee to-morrow at 3 p. m., at each of which an entirely new programme will be ren- dered

Madame Camilla Urso was supported by

&# company of one lady and three gentlemen Mr. H. G. Hopper’s piano play-~ rendering famous Fantaisie *‘ Rigoletto ” was as well-nigh peffect as possible. His plano accompaniments were marked by wuch sympathy and expression. Mr. Louis Miller possesses a good tenor voice, but not of a very high range, his rendering of the songs, *‘ Dormi pure,” by Scuderi, and a second which was not that named in the programme, was very creditable, and elicited a good deal of applause. If Mr. Miller would endeavor to sing with a little more ease, it would increase his popularity with musicians. Mr. Libby possesses « baritone voice of immense power and flexi- bility ; and it could be greatly improved. by additional and careful eultivation: — lis singing last night, if we may judy:.from the roufads of applause w hich foliowed it, was very thoroughly enjoyed by w portion of the audience ; but we cauavi help think- ing it was too boisterous. ‘Chere is no doubt that for such a pow crful voice as bis the Lyceum Hall is far tuo . .aall, and this, indeed, may have been the chief cause of the defect in his singing to which we have referred. Miss Phila Griffin isa young singer of great promise. Her voice is of singularly pure timbre, and her mode of using it is at vuce judicious and pleasing. Its range is, moreover, very good. Her lower and n:iddle nores were exceptionally clear and sympathetic, and we doubt not that Miss Griffin has a very useful musical career before her. But let our readers avail themselves of the opportunities which are given of hearing these excellent musicians before they leave the Island; and then they can judge for themselves.

The piano used was one of the celebrated Heintzman, from Miller Bros’, establish- ment.

A Chat With Correspondents.

In connection with my contributions to Tue Examiner I have received several letters, the information in some of which I have already used, and the others I will use or not, as L consider expedient. To- day I furnish you with three epistles, the contents of which are, I think, of sufficient interest to ensure their publication in their entirety. ‘To each letter I shall briefly re- ply. The first that I shall submit is from the pen of a well-known and highly re- spected citizen, whose opinion is worthy of consideration. Here it is :—

Dear Arcus,—I have read your strictures on the boys’ and girls’ peccadilloes, and am 1in- clined to rate you asa La Maucha Knight, tilting at windmills, while real knights are left unopposed in their career! I fear you but skim the surface of the Bethesda pool and miss the deep healing waters below, in your healing medicaments. Let me suggest & bolder course, something Elijah-like, and, letting the gnats and mosquitoes fly as low game, pitch into the lotharios, the roues, the jezebels of the society of this city, and though you may not banish them, you will at least remind them of the ‘‘pnblie opinion” eye, which is more piercing than that of Argus.

The bolder course suggested by my cor- respondent is, no doubt, very necessary at present. There isa good deal of moral rottenness in Charlottetown, and it 1s not confined to the poorer and more ignorant classes either. The lotharios, the roues and the jezebels of society richly deserve a castigation, and I suggest that the ‘‘ real knight" who penned the letter printed above, would be a very good person to ad- minister it. He evidently is the possessor of considerable information as to the inner workings of what he is pleased to term ‘* society,” and is just the man to start the ball a-rolling. What he knows, coupled with what others know—not what they guess at—would create a good-sized sensa- tion. But there is no use talking over the matter here. Gvodness knows there is talk enough about town already relative to the actions of certain people. Some of this

talk is doubtless true, and some false. ‘* Where there’s much smoke! there’s _al- ways some fire.” For the present, how-

ever, I must decline taking the ‘* bolder course ” suggested.

The next letter is from a-young lady who is ‘‘real vexed.” She says:-—

Mr. Arcus:—You have said.a good many hard things about us girls. Some of them were deserved and some were not. But now 1 want you to say a few words about a nuis- ance which interests the men as well as the girls, and if you can belp us I have no doubt but that the girls will forgive you for the many things you have said about them. I want you te expose the doings of the mean, contemptible, ignorant creatures who hang about the square and other places in the even- ings, dogging the footsteps of ladies and gen- tlemen when out walking. I have known these contemptible creatures to shadow peo- ple for two or three hours, and then go and tell lies and say mean things about them, I think this is too bad, don’t you?

Yours respectfully, Fan.

I certainly do think it is too bad. Things have come to a pretty pass if a lady and gentleman, or man and wife, cannot go out for a promenade these fine evenings Wwith- out having their every movement watched by such creatures as are referred to by my correspondent. The men who indulge in this sort of pastime cannot think very much of themselves or they would not do it. They are too cowardly to go alone, and generally hunt in couples. This fact has often saved them from severe castigation, but they will be caught sometime, when I trust they will get what they richly deserve, a good thrashing.

The next is also from a lady. Evidently she is not jealous. Here is what she says:—

Dear Mr. Arcus,—You have been blam- ing the girls for being foolish because of their waiting around for their gentlemen friends after work hours, but what will you say when I tell you that the young men, or at least some of them, do things even more silly. Why, sir, 1 know of at least one young man who waits about for a yoang lady as she is returning from market on market days and carries home the basket. for her, Not only does he do this, but he actually takes the longest possible way home, too. I will not tell you the names of the persons, neither will I tell you where the lady lives if you are half as smart as you think you are, you can find out for yourself without much trouble. You may think what I say is not true, but it is as true as gospel. I think he is very silly for acting as he dves, as the girl cares much more for another young man _ than she does for him. What do you think of him, anyway?

Yours, ete., FLORRIE.

What do I think of him, anyway? Well, I do not think much of him, or of any one else that would do as you say hedoes. And vf course he does it ar you would not say so. Bat this is a free country, Florrie, and if a young man becomes iafatuated with a young woman, and allows his feel- ings to overcome his good judgment, there is no law to prevent his doing so unless he becomes offensive. However, whea younz men fall in love they do some silly things as wellas the young women. But there are some instances of young me acting sillily without being in love. Not knowing the parties to the case under consideration, | am unable to decid@ whether the silliness is natural or the result of the young man’s feelings. But perhaps he is acting as he is fora purpose. I have heard of z young woman that was in love with acertain young man engage another young man to pay every attention to her in orderte make the one with whom she was infatuated become alarmed at the prospect of losing ha and propose. Perhaps the case you rete: tu is one of this kind.
