THE WAR.
Tue most important item of news to Tue Examiner is that concerning the rapid march of the British towards Cairo. Arabi is evidently auxious to secure the town, and will doubtless fight hard for it. Tel-el Kebir, the place mentioned in Tne Examtner’s despatches is about fifteen miles east of Zagazig, and is on the line between that place and Ismailia. It commands both the Railway and the fresh water canal, and in these particulars is an important strategic point.

Canada the Home for Millions.
_ Tue Contemporary’ Review for this month, contains a brilliant article from the gifted pen of Dr. McGregor, on “Canada and the Northwest as au Emi- gration Field.” The article is one of the most remarkable ever written ov Canada and is about the best and friend- liest advertisement Canada ever received. Still the Doctor does not hide the diffi- culties awaiting’ the pioneer, aud he de- scribes the necessyry hardships in their dreariest forms. After referring to the anomalous condition of the poor man in England, which he descvibes as not only disereditable but intolerable in any coun- try claiming to be civilized, he at once branches out into ecstasies over this * Canada of! Ours,” As the Doctor says:—“One must travel over its vast territory, sail on its maguificent lakes and rivers, visit its prosperous and beautiful towns, and camp ont on its rich prairies to realize what a splendid possession it is, and how proud we ought to. be of such a heritage, and how cer- tain that a great future lies before it. In no other of our great colonies does the climate seem so favorable for the pre- servation. of the form and fea'ures and energies of the Anglo-Saxon race; and in none are the people more passionately attached to the Crown and the Constitu- tion, and more proud of their connection with the mother country.” The Doctor is specially pleased with the picture of com- fort and neatness presented by the people of the Maritime Provinces, and says that in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia there are rich bat uncultivated lands capable of supporting many. mil- lions of emigrants. Ontario, he calls the finest Province of Old Canada, and likens it to some of the richest parts of England,. The remarks of the Doctor on the Northwest are specially striking when he reminds \us that out of the 8,500 000 square miles comprised within the Dominion, and which gives it a ter- ritory larger than the United States, no less than 2,500,000 belong to Mani+ toba and the North West. If, a year or two ago, the eye of an average educated man chanced to light on that vast empty space on the map through which the As- siniboine and the two Saskatchawans run, his impression would probably have been that it was one of the wastes of creation. How few has any idea that withio this. territory there was a wheat- growing region of extraordiuary fertility, containing roughly 300,000 square miles, and destined before long to be the home of progperous millions and the granary of the world. The doctor wonders that such land was so long hidden from the hungry millions of Europe, and graphi- cally descrioes the marvellous fertility of the prairie steppes, and the black friable mould which promises to yield crops of wheat for filty years without manure. Quoting from an article in Harper's Montlily, he says :—** Tf one-half of the ground of that comparatively small por tion which is drained by the Ked River and its affluents, were sown. to wheat, the product at an average yield would be 500,000,000 bushels, or more than the entire amount raised in the United States in 1880.” So much for the won- derful promise of this new region. Driy- ing over the beautiful gladesof the second steppe, the Doctor remarks that were it not for the mosquitoes, the lighter character of the timber, and the: wonder- fal purity and intensity of the light, he could have fancied h‘mself driving in one of the exquisite English parks. The descriptions of the prairies, the Indians, and the buffaloes, are too long to notice, but they are well worth. read- ing. The Doctorgives a graphic ac- count of the tract of country rented from the Government by Messrs. Cochrane, McEachern and Gibb, who are reputed to be among the largest and most suc- cesful stock raisers in the world. He saw their first herd of 2.824 cattle and 260 horses.on the way to the ranch, and says that by the end of October the stock numbered 7,200. Asletter to him from Lord Lorne says that “Cochrane is going to send in another 800 head; all} the cattle wintered splendidly.” As so| much has. been said about the C. P. R. | and its effects on the North-West, the| remarks of the Doctor will well repay quoting :—**Another extensive proprie- tor of North-West land, is that benefac- tor of Canada and the world ((hat’s the Doctor's view of it) the Canadian Pacifie Railway.” The article concludes with the hope that public sentiment will be drawn towards the settling of ‘suitable emigrants in this country, and that they will be sent not hap-hazard, but find| houses and agr.cultural implements awaiting them, ia order that the emi- grant may find work at the moment of his arrival. The article noticed cannot fail to be fruitful in important results to | Canada, and our country owes a debt of lasting gratitude to Dr. MacGregor, for his action in so nobly championing her claims.
Pew
The Crops.
Harvesting operations are now com mencing in many parts of the Island, and from all that we can learn the pros- pects are very good. The early wheat has, as usual, been attacked by the weevil, but the unusually fine weather has brought it through without more than the loss of about one-third of the crop, while the late wheat has almost escaped weevil. The oat crop promises a full average and the potatoes and tur- vips are looking unusually well. The good weather will no doubt ripen the barley in fine order, and, on the whole, the agricultural outlook is highly sat‘s- factory.
Pasturage this summer is not so good as last. It is not usual for the fields of the Island to appear so brown as they do at the present time. Copious rains would improve the pastures but they might injure the grain.

The Minister.
Tue Minister of Marine and Fisheries took a drive through the southern part of the country on Wednesday with Dr. Jenkins. ‘They went through Lot 49. Mill View, Vernon River and Orwell and brought up at the Church Tea Party on the Murray Harbor Road. Mr. Mc- Lelan was much pleased with the aspect of the country and its great fertility. He expressed surprise at the large extent of the settlements—to use his words * It seemed to be one continuous settlement the whole way.’ ‘The Minister was struck with the fine physique of the people assembled at the tea, both male aud female, especially the latter, and said that it excelled any similar gathering he attended in Ontario.
The Western Continent.
Tue New Country is receiving much notice and attention from the gifted pens of the Old World. It has become the fashionable thing to write up and discuss America and Canada. Mr. Arnold is lively on the subject. Others came over to see and to believe. Mr. Spencer will go through America in a quiet way. He declinees the honor of lecturing. He came to see the people, not to show himself to them; Freeman the historian, Wilde the A®s- thete, and Spencer the philosopher, are among the English literary men who are visiting America this year.
Latest from the Seat of War. Ismaruia, Aug. 23.
Arabi Pacha was here three days ago and dined with DeLesseps. He reported that his troope were at Tell El Kebir, strongly entrenched.
Seven more of Arabi’s officers surrender ed on Tuesday. They allege that many officers and men wish to surrender, but are afraid, owing to Arabi’s spreading reports that the English shoot all prisoners.
Nefich forms our advance post, and from thence a. chain of sentries extends around Ismalia. The nearest camp of the enemy is at Ramses, and the next at Poy, 14 miles away, while their main position is 34 miles distant. Major Gen. Hamley’s division has been ordered to come here at once. A company of engineers is repairing the rail- way to Nefich. Some vompromising tele- grams from DeLesseps to Arabi have been intercepted.
According | to Arabi Pacha has a’ Dwar.
Large numbers of men are constantly entrenched at Tel El Kebir, and there is little doubt that the big fight of the war will oceur there.
The prisoners taken at Serapeum,on Mon- day, report that many of the enemy’s wounded died during the retreat across the desert to Tel El Kebir,
ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 23.
The Austrian gunboat Nuatilus, bound from Port Said to Alexandria, passed Abou- kir on Monday. The Commander seeing a white flag flying on the the Aboukir forts, supposed they were in possession of the British, and sent a boat ashore with an offi- cer and twelve men, who were made pris- oners by the Egyptians.
The Austrian admiral has sent the Nauti- lus back to Aboukir. During the night the enemy have thrown up entrenchments in their extreme right across sands to Lake Aboukir, probably in consequence of amovement of the High- landers on Sunday, which threatened to outflank them. It is reported that large bodies of Bedouins have crossed the desert from Tripoli to join Arabi.
Lonpon, Aug. 23.
A despatch from Ismalia says the troops now at Nefich, with the addition of three squadrons of household cavalry, two guns, a detachment of Hussars and mounted infantry will march in the morning to Mogfar, on the fresh water canal, about four miles west of Nefich, leaving one regiment there to guard the bridge over the canal. Arabi Pasha has 25,000 men and 60 guns at Tel El Kebir.

A despatch from Port Said says that the 3ritish have captured Ruchdi Pacha, for-
|merly the Khedive’s minister of finance,
and Suelfikah Pacha, of the Khedive’s household, who had espoused the cause of Arabi Pacha.
The military police have arrested 19 Greeks who were pillaging in the Arab quarter in Ismailia. Ten of the prisoners were shot.
The water in the fresh water canal is falling perceptibly at Ismailia. It is feared that Arabi Pacha has diverted its course.
The canal company has issued notices requesting economy in the use of water.
A MEETING was held in St. John, on Tues day, for the purpose of considering a scheme for establishing a Baptist newspaper in the Maritime Provinces. It was agreed that the way of procedure is to organize a jo‘nt stock company, with a capital of $20,000, in shares of $10 each for the prosecution of this scheme, A commi:tee was appointed to solicit enbscrip-
tions to its stock list and take preliminary steps towards organizing a company.

DAILY BXAMINER, |
Fatal Fishing Accident. titi SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT AT RUSTICO—A BOAT STRUCK BY A BREAKER—GALLANT
RESCUE,
YESTERDAY MORNING the two sons of Mr. Thomas Blackee sailed on the regular trip to the mackerel fishing grounds of Rustico. They were accompanied by Theophilus Pieno, Hugh Fraser, and J. McAllister The day was very stormy, and the boats which were at the fishing grounds ex- perienced great difficulty by winds and wave. On the return, and when crossing the bar at the entrance of the harbor, the Blackee boat was struck by a break r and instantly upset. Both masts were separated from the hull, and the boat instantly floated bottom up on the surface, leaving the fishermen—Blackies, Fraser, Pieno and McAlister—struggling in the water. The menon the stage of Mr. H. M. Churchill saw the accident. A seine boat was immediately manned, and though the wind was strong and the sea ran high, the fishermen rowed gallantly to the scene of the accident. With great difficulty they rescued the Blackies, McAlister and Fraser; but poor Pieno was carried into the deep water, beyond tho bar, and drowned. |
The deceased was a son of Mr. Theophilus Pieno, of Rustico. He was sixteen years of age, and was much beloved by his com- panion fishermen.
‘fhe brave rescue by the men from Mr. Churchill’s stage is very highly commended, and sending fishing boats out on such stormy days as yesterday is denounced by the people of Rustico.

A Terrible Accident in Town.
A MAN SEVERELY, PERHAPS FATALLY, IN-
JURED.
A young man named John Percival, in the employ of .Messrs. Peake Brothers & Co., was severely, if not fatally injured, on board the brigantine ‘* Alpheta” to-day. He was at work in her hold assisting in discharging the cargo of limestone. A tub had ascended, and its contents, all but one stone, were dumped on the pile on the wharf. This stone re- mained until the tub was about descending, when the stone fell out and struck Percival on the head, inflicting a very severe, if not fatal, wound. The unfortunate man remained unconscious for a _ time. A Doctor was immediately summoned, and after alleviating the pain as much as pos- sible, had him remvved to his residence, where he now lies in a very precarious con- dition.

Foul Play, or What?
Tue drowning of the young girl Sparrow seems to be enveloped in mystery. Various sensational reports are in circulation, and the fact that the most important witnesses are keeping out of the way of the coroner, suggests that there is something strange about the drowning.
~ CURRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Srr,— Having made my statement of the case between Mr. Brecken and myself, and submitted my proposal to leave the matter in dispute to the arbitrament of a conven- tion of our supporters, I would not have again reverted to the subject, had not Mr. Brecken, in his reply, by omitting several important points, given a false coloring to the question.
He first omits the fact that before the recount was instituted, we had information that in two polling districts, where Mr. Davies had a majority of more than 120, the votes were uninitialed. Had this proved to be correct, Mr. Davies would have been out and the two Liberal Conserva- tives returned.
Mr Brecken errs when he says ‘‘ it was found that the rejection of the uninitialed votes would not effect Mr. Davies’ return.” As a matter of fact, Mr. Davies’ majority was reduced by twenty-six from unitialed ballots, and thirteen on the general re- count, making his majority thirty-nine less than the return, and had not two polling divisions, of which we knew nothing and in which we had a majority proved to be uninitialed, the whole election might have been voided on petition, by the reduction brought about by the recount.
Mr. Brecken further omits to state the very important fact that, in reply to his application to the president of the Liberal- Conservative Club, a committee was ap pointed, of which I was a member, to sub-
mit a statement of the case for counsels’ opinion, as to the pros pects of voiding the whole election,
and that before the Committee had time to submit the case to Counsel, and 13 days before the expiration of the time allowed for putting in a petition, Mr. Brecken filed his own petition thus forestalling the committee,
Mr. Brecken very naturally omits to state that from the commencement of the reconnt he permitted himself to make very discourteous remarks aimed at me, and that when the judgment was given he made a most offensive personal attack on me, and that he afterwards reiterated this attack in still more offensive terms to one of the most prominent of our opponents thus cl sing the door against any amicable per- sonal arrangement of the question—and now he declines by proposing to have the matter settled by the party without having recourse to the law.
As this proposal is rejected, I am now prepared to qnote Mr. Brecken’s language, “to fight it to the bitter end,” and if the end should prove more bitter than he anti- cipates, he has himself to thank.
Yours truly, J. T. JENKrns. ee
_ Tue Chief Clerk of the New York City Sheriff’s Office, Mr. John A. Lowe, thus speaks of St. Jacobs Vil: **I happen to be one who has been cured by St. Jacobs Oil, and I think that the remedy cannot be excel. led for rheumatism, | certainly found it a most pleasant and effective remedy and one which did for me what many others failed to do—cure me, I therefore have a good word fer the Oil, whenever opportunity presents itself, for I consider it a splendid remedy,”
