In a. family so markedly gifted it is hardly nec- essary to award the palm of merit to any particular member ; but the violin solos of Mr. Hugh McGibeny seems to us to be the finest feature of the entainment.

To The Bike: of The WATCHMAN. ' SIB.â€"-The preliminary steps to secure the repeal of the Scott. Act in this County have. we believe been taken, and there does 110., appear yet to be manifested any general intention on the part of the tem- perance peeple to oppose such repeal. They seem to recognize as a. fact that the Scott: Act has been n. failure and that any exertions in its favor would only be futile: The cause however is certainly good and it should not now be left to 13:: because the means adopted have not proved successful. The cause of failure ought to be investi- gated and the experience of the past utiliz- ed in making sure work for the future. Many attribute the failure of the Scott Act to defects in the Act itself, but those best acquainted with its workings admit that the same difliculties would be met'With in enforcing any prohibitory law which might be passed. The real difiiculty is in public sentiment in the temperance question. The many who voted for the Act, felt in- terested therein sufficiently to vote but not to do anything further to carry out its purposesu ' The feeling is also gaining that force is no great moral agent, and that it is folly indeed to imagine that a great and preval- ent sin can be wiped out by an act of par- liament. The fact ought never to be lost sight of that the temperance cause has made great advances and that a. larger proportion of men are total abstainers to-day than ever before. . These men are total abstainers on prin- ciples and not as a. direct result of any legislation. The mom] religious and in- tellectual forces that have been at work have shown men the sin and the folly of liqur smelting- The indirect result of Legislation has no doubt been good. The License Acts by doing away with the dens have commend- ed themselves to all fair minded men. and have proved to temperance people the necessity and utility of Legislation in com. batting the liquor trafiic. Whatever may be the uses of legislation it ought never to be considered anything more than a minor element in social advancement. It is upon the intellectual, moral and re- ligious'elements in societyjand theirlgrowth and developemenb that; real dependence must be placed. These forces ought not now to be let rest. The cry of the church ought not to be “prohibit.” “vote” and “enforce” so much as “abstain." An effort ought to be made also to sepa- rate the Hotel business from liquor sell- ing. There ought to be suflicient temper- ance sentiment to support at least one good hotel in a. town like Lindsay, kept by par- ties in sympathy with temperance princi- ples and where there would be no suspic- ion of liquor selling . No doubt there are a. great many difficulties in the way. but if temperance people succeed they must be willing to make an effort and even to lose money in the attempt. THE WATCHMAN is a devoted advocate vf tenipemnCe reform and it is to its col- umns tint we lnuli fur the expressions of sentiments upon which temperance people can unite. O'I‘TA\\’A, Ont..

In the shooting much the other day at Cobourg, the editor of the W orld won the position to which was assigned as prize a. year’s subscription to his own paper.

Now if he had won a. $10 bill, a. barrel of flour, or a ton of coal, there would have been some sense in competingâ€"but to be compelled to take his own paper is about as bad as a doctor taking his own medicine, which is said to be something the saw-bones never do.

Some years 2191) Mr. Snndfm'd Flemingr published a. pzunphict- in which he slxmvcd that the shortest route between the Old nndNaw \Vorlds was across Newfoundland. His idea was to have a. fleet of fast stemuers carrying only passengers. mails and light goods. between Valencia. and St: J uhn’s; :v. railway across this island to St. Ge‘n-ge’s nAAA .- Bay, a. distance uf 240 miles; then a steam ferry to Buy Chaleur, where wuuld be :1. terminus of :l. cmmiueutul railway, whence lyissengers and mails Would be flespnnched to all parts of Canada. and the States. Mr. Fleming calculated on a. saving uf two days by this route, as compared with New ank and other routes. u“ v-..-_ With recent improvements the scheme is revived. An iron highway across Cann- dian territory unites the Atlantic and Pa.- cific. A line of steamers connects Van- couver, Yukuhamaand Hung-Kong. An- other line will probably unite Vancouver and Australia. Speed and a slim-t ocean route are everything. The mail service becomes increasingly important. The sav- ing of one or two days in the transmission of passengers and mulls is of vast, moment in this fast age. ' - N . T 1 , 3,. ,A __ .1 “A DIAL-1 u-uv "0‘" The distance between St. J 0110’s and the nearest Irish port is but 1,640 miles. If steamers of the same class as the Etrurin l and Umbria. were placed on this route they would run the distance in 3% days. A firstclass railway and swift steamers in the Gulf would carry mails and passengers to the terminus of a continental railway in sixteen hours; so that the whole time would be four days and four nights be- tween Irland and the American mainland. The route between St. John’s and Ire- land is the safest in crossing the Atlantic. There is very little fog and not a rock or shoal between. Of course this route would be available only for eight months in the 11‘ VG (I v u.u¢u.~. v-__‘, year. In winter the steamers would have to run to Halifax. The harbor of St. John’s is accessible at all times of the tide to the largest steamers.â€"Worlcl. Canada and Australia.
