fron his Lime Kiln Club will be present and hold a session on the ice. At half-past ten o'clock two trick nies from Hindpaugh’s Cireus, driven by fantastically attired clowns will enter the arena and go through some evolutions calculated to mystify the spectators. The Band of the 82nd Bat- talion wili furnish the music in its usual good style. All who desire a good evening's amuse- ment should make a point of attending. — ————

Juan Macaldo, the Spaniard who was tried this term for stabbing the second mate of the Ida Maud, with intent to mur- der, and found guilty after a lengthy trial ~-the first jury not being able to agree upon which count of the indictment to find the prisoner guilty—was sentenced this morn- ing to six years imprisonment in the peni- tentiary provided for persons convicted of crime in this’ Province.

Before passing sentence Mr. Justice Hensley addressed a few wards to the prisoner. He told him that he had, com-

mitted a serious crime, and had after a fair trial, been convicted by a British jury ; that though the fact of his being a Spaniardjand naturally of a quicker temper, was pleaded by his counse! as an excuse for his crime, yet in the Courts of Her Majesty justice must be administered to all aiken He should be thankful that the skill of the physician had saved him from being tried for a more serious crime.

be secure from being involved. Therefore we cannot accept the responsibility ot _ re- fusing supplies which the war and navy Ministers have declared necessary.”” When this part of the letter was read, the House rang with approving cheers. Salisbury’s pacific declarations which were given at the same moment in the House of Lords were

caused by the disclosures in the Commons. On the whole, the Governmeat is thought to have come well out of the incident.

Terrible Experience at Sea.

Hvireax, Jan, 29.

The story of the survivors of the schooner Charles Graham, is one of the most ex- traordinary romances of the sea ever known in this part of the world. On Tuesday night word was received that the schooner C. Graham had been dashed to pieces and all.on board lost. This morning, howeter, tidings were recvived that all were saved but one of the crew. _ The unfortanate man was Captain Coleridge. Three of the crew arrived to-night. They tell the following story :-—** We left Burmuda January, 15, and made Cape Sable light on the 23rd. On the 24th, at 8 p. m., we struck a rock. We got off, and at 10 o'clock struck again. At this time the wind was blowing a hurri- cane, and the sea running mountains high. We immediately set to work cutting down the foremast, hoping that it would

The Fisheries Dispute.

LoNpDOoN, Jan. 28.

The subject of dispute between the United States and Great Britain, in regard to the Canadian fisheries, was brought up in the House of Commons this afternoon. Sir James Ferguson, in answer to inquiries, said'the Government had beeu conferring with the Government of the United States on the question. The Canadian fisheries, he said, were very valuable, and the Gov- ernment had followed the policy concerning them which had been adopted by the pre- ceding Government, and would maintain the rights of colonists with every desire to conciliate the United States.

The Queen's Speech. Lonpon, Jan, 28.

The Post this morning referring to the (Jueen’s speech says: ‘The speech again exhibits a lamentable proof of the Govern- ment’s want of tovch with the country, lack of guidance ef party, and failure in command. It wasasad error to expose Mr. Goschen to defeat in Liverpool when a safe seat might have been found for him.”

The Post thinks that the sacrifice of Lord Randolph Churchill might have been avoided, and says it is idle to conceal the fact that the session opens under unhappy auspices.

This destroys the last vestige of hope of the Grits in Albert.

HOW THE OLD LIBERALS REASON TOGETHER.

es |

\ceording to promise Robert colled upon | his friend on the following evening :— Rosert—‘*Well neighbor, here | am ac-

; and let us go to work way. But stop, where did you get that | big pile of books you have heaped up

there ¢”’

James—**O these are Mr. Blake’s and Mr. Davies’ speeches in the House of Com- inons. Do you know Davies sends me piles ofthem. There was such a lot came one day that my soon Bill had to leave them at the oftice and come after the horse to take them home, and the half of them are not here now as the old woman said they were only trash, and told Annie to light the fire with them.”

Rogert—‘‘Did you read them all ?”

James—‘*Weil, no; 1 tried to, but they are mighty long and dry,and hard to under-

stand. There is one long speech of Blake’s knocks me altogether. It is all about a shirt. He says that every man that buys

« white shirt pays fifty cents induty. Well, the old woman was in town the other day and she bought cotton to make two shirts for me and one a peice for the boys, and it only cust at the rate of 40 cents a peice altogether, duty and all. Now that is what puzzles me. The old woman says that Blake’s speech is all humbug. But you know her father was a Tory and I am afraid that she is one too.”

Rozert—‘'l read that great speech of Blake’s myself and my wife had the same expericiuce as yours. I donot think that Blake himself could explain that speech. I aim sure lam not able; fam afraid he is

oue of those that darken Council with words. James— “There is another speech of

Blake’s here that bothers me. It was made at a ineeting in Ontario, and he says that Ontario paid the whole cost of the Pacitic Railway, and that the Provinces didn’t pay anything towards it. Now, I was in town at the meeting the other night and didn't Davies sock it to the Tories for what we have to pay on this Island for building that road. He said every man’s farm on the Island was mortgaged to the amount of thousands of dollars to pay for it. Now I would like to know who is tel- ling the truth,-—Davies or Blake ””’

Ropsrr—‘'Do you know I begin to think that neither of them are telling the truth The worst thing they ever did for themselves was to make so many ef them speeches and have them printed and sent round. Don't you recol- lect how they nearly frightened the life out of us in 1878, about how we were to be taxed. Didn't they say that machines and flour, and salt, kerosene oil, and cotton, and cloth, and sugar, and nails, and shoes, and stoves were to be doubled in price, and do you mind the row there was about how dear the children’s candy was to be? Now, you know well enough that all these things are cheaper than ever they were before, and it we do pay a little tax on them we don’t feel it. Besides, tea, which we use a lot. of, is. now free, and they made ys pay six cents on every pound we used then. When they were in power we paid taxes on our farms that we cleared out of the green woods, and paid high for everything we used. This Party took the tax off and Sir John’s Government are paying us a-half a million dollars they owed us to keep us clear of taxes. I used to hate Ferguson ; but I tell you he deserves credit for the way he worked for us, and | intend to vote for him and Campbell, too, Ihave been fooled long enough.”

James—'‘‘T ain afraid you are going to be a turn-coat, and that is what I never ex- pected to see you.”

Ropert-—‘*‘Well James, it is hard to go against ones party. But the Scriptures has a curse for lying prophets that deceive the people and I co not think that when we know that they prophecied lies inthe past that we should follow them any longer.”

James——‘*'Well I won’t turn yet any- how. Davies is going to do a good thing

now if he never did before. He is going to put a Plebescite on the Scott Act.” Rosert—‘‘} don’t know what that is,and it may be a very good thing, hut I wish he had explained it for us country folks, far | find it something like Blake’s story about the shirt, very hard to understand. But

I can’t stay any longer to-night ; come to md place to-morrow night and _per-

haps we will find out what it is.”

A Sensible View.

The Philadelphia Record takes a sensible view of the recent proceedings in the Uni- ted States Congress with regard to the fisheries question. It points out that the New England fishermen are seeking to force Canada into giving them all the privi- leges of the former reciprocity treaty, while they at the same time retain all the advan- tages that accrued to them from its abroga- tion. It says that the Edmunds bill to terminate commercial intercourse between the two countries would do quite as much harm to the United States as to Canada, and that the fishermen of the former would gain nothing by their country’s cer- tain loss. It very properly claims also that the people of the United States cannot afford to lose their supply of an important article of food for the sake of imaugurating a war of trade reprisals in order to sustain doubtful pretensions. This is a common- sense view of the matter, and ought to com- mend itself to those of our neighbors who are inclined to deal with it in a reasonable way.

Grand Success.

No man nor party, says the Montreal Gazette, ever brought its plans and _ policy to grander success than has Sir John and the Liberal-Conservative party. The aim was to unite all the provinces of this Dominion by unbroken rail, and form the bonds which grow from intercourse and commercial exchange to construct a trunk line from which there would be an_ out- growth of branches and subsidiary lines. To open up for settlement the great North- west, to quicken the wheels of industry in the older provinces in supplying the mar- kets of the newer, and to gladden the heart of the farmer by giving him more custom- ers. This has been done, and when the last link shortening the distance to Halifax and St. John is completed, as it will be this autumn, and when fast lines of steam- ers shall connest us on one side with

Europe and on the other with the Far :

East, the work will be perfected.
