But if he does conte back. he will have a heavy tug with Mr. P. Kelly, for the honor, and will be sure to. be Troi:1)N ), I:I:EY d• BI:r-CE R. I:.. floored by that genial Milesian. The question of the in,bringing (f ole' Oen, contemporary, the Stoi, does not Toronto, Grey & Brace B.R. to Guder- ich is a topic which ought to permeate the public mind inGoderich and vicinity. That theroad will become part and par- cel of the C. P. R., and act as a feeder to the train line of that road, can be 1„oked upon as a foregone conclusion. in such an era* no time should be lost by our prominent men in setting forth the claims of Goderich as the proper ter- minus of the western extension. Already the T. G. & B. has a lake port at Owen Skid, but the western branch, when building, was blocked at Toeswater, ow- ing to the inability of the projectors to obtain bonuses in the northern town- ships. These townships refused bonuses to the rued at a time when the local Gov- ernment was granting subsidies to lines having western hike ports in view for termini. That the line would be naw store successful its obtaining bonuses from the townships that rebuffed them before, seems to us doubtful ; reverthelcss we observe that efforts are being made by the neighboring town of Kincardine, through the council, to carry the line thither from Teeswster. Southampton, we understand, is moving in the !tatter also, and would like to !make its harbor the terminus. Under these circumstances there is.,no time to lie lost by Goderich in presenting its claims. As between Southampton and Kincardine there can be but one opinion, and that must favor Kincardine ; but if the relative merits of Goderich and Kincardine be 'submitted, Huron's county town should have the preference. Goderich has the best harbor one the lakes—the Govern- ment harbor of refuge—and is for that reason the choice of all mariners ; our town is located 31 miles further from Owen Sound than Kincardine, and would on that account give the erten tllsion an opportunity of tapping more rival lines, and getting the local trade of a far larger extent of country ; the town- ships be -ween Wingham and Goderich, through which the proposed line would pus, have never rejected arailway bonus for the line, and this fact would be favor- able in the prosecution of the railway campaign. For these and other reasons which we shall advance hereafter we con- tend that Goderich is the more available point for the terminus of the Teeswater branch of the T., G. and B., and hare no hesitancy in calling upon our towns- people to be up and doing in the !natter. At present we have a railway commit- tee appointed by the council, but the working up of railway schemes, rarely emanates frors the council board. A man may make a good councilor, and yet not be skilled in the methods of railway agitation. There are, we are pleased to say, iuthe Goderich town oouncilanum- ber of sharp, enterprising, wide-awake men, who will not be backward in rail- way work once a scheme is put in shape. But outside of the council we have many -who are able and willing to grap- ple with the question, and who, if the opportunity were afforded,would not fail to give time, talent and means toward initiating a successful railway !campaign. We hope to see shortly a public meeting called, when the question an be openly discussed, and the !nen best qualified to urge onwerd the scheme, solute.' by tie popular voice to do the well/.

These, at all events, are the sentiments of the- party who have just returned home to Goderich from an extended cruise around the Georgian Bay on board like to hear any reference to the peti- tion against M. C. Cameron, M.P. Any remark about said petition calls fur a wail from the organ. It would like to have the matter quietly buried out of sight, to be resuscitated only at the instance'uf the star. Now, we would like to know if the petitioner has the faintest idea that the case will ever conte on for trial. We don't believe he has Cameron has sat for one session, and Mill certainly sit for another. By that time it is quite pouible n new order of things will obtain at Ottawa. In any event it is not probable that M. C Cameron's right to the seat will ever b questioned, knowing, as the petitioner knows, the flimsy basis upon which th protest rests. We would ask the ,�h+r t• come out square -teed uu the subject an tell its readers that it honestly he beeves the petition will not fizzle out. Early its July, Mr. Ed.

However,the yacht rode out the storm steadily, and the ladies were all snug below, and everything was secure and comfortable, barring an un- certainty in one's footing on deck as the yeeht moved up and down upon the waves. In the afternoon of Sunday, a stiffbreeze still blowing, land was wen over the lea low, and soon Cove Island lighthouse love insight, and all were very much pleased when the Explorer passed the northerly point of Cove Island, and rounded up into smooth water under its lea. . No sooner was tha anchor let go than a sail was seentu make its way from the lighthouse dck,a ond ma few minutes a boat came alongside hav- ing on board Mr. George Currie, tho keeper of Cove Island lighthouse, and a brother of our townsman, Mr, J.

G. Smith, of Goderich. Th Telegram has, net;er heard of W. G. Smith, and is anxious to know what man ner of man he is. For the information of the Telegram we would state that W. G. Smith had made a reputation and a name for himself as a successful centro versialist years before the Telegram en- tered upon the stormy sea of journalism that he has never been worsted in arra ment, to his knowledge ; and it tke said W. G. Smith doesn't roll the Td.egraen up tight, and tie a knot on the end of it then the old man's right hand must have lost its cunning, and his 'cute brain have been forsaken of its fertile resource. There's a rod in pickle for the Telegram, that will scarify that journal to the quick. e the most trying 11, amateurs, but the weather ..n this occasion was propitious, and a pleasant afternoon'a sail brought ' the party to Kincardine, where entering between the piers, a small circular ba- sin at the shore end is discovered, in which the Exo' •rer cast anchor and lay snuff an:: cosy till morning. A feeling, - + of uneasrt ess might be telt ':y an exces- sively nervous person as to the c,nse•, quences in case severel vessels should be' in harbor at once in Kincardine. but to ' be quite accurate there really is room for several vessols in Kincardine harbor. Next morning the party went ashore , to see the town and renew old time ac- quaintanceships, among the good people of Kincardine, and to visit the " park," and other points of . intereet. The " park " is a pretty little square, but no more to be compared with Goderich CONSIDERABLE dissatisfaction is ex pressed by persons interested at th manner in which the Government dredge is allowed to Ise idlo in Goderich harbor.

Here Chantry Island, lung narrow and'prettily wooded, runs paral- - lel with the mainland ,andabout t wo miles distant, forming a natural breakwater on the west: Some years ago the Dominion Government, at an expense "1 about t $120,000, built a !luck and breakwater, which connects by means of cribwork the northern part of the island with the I mainland, leaving a "gip" in the centre foravessele io pass to and from the north. wards. A very SPACIOUS AND HANDSOME HARBOR is thus furmed. Still in many respects it:is not a goad harbor. The entrance is about 2 miles wide, but on account of shoals and rocks vessels hare to be care -1 ful to enter by a channel which is,mark- ed out by a "derrick,•' a sort of a light- house without any lights in it. This, of course, cannot be seen on dark or stormy nights, and, as the lighthouse is situated abort the uontre of Chantry island,-ntere- ly shows where the harbor is,in a general sort of a way. The entrance at night is net. a very easy matter to find. The harbor is swept,too,by westerly and south westerly gales, making it a very likely thing for vessels to drift from their an- chorage, as they sometimes do.

The remainder of the day was very pleasantly spent in rowing about the beautiful bay ,and walkingaboat the island, which is a very pretty one and much in favor by the people of that region as a picnic ground.

The striking operators wero out four weeks, are supposed ttt! have lust 8400,- 000 in wages; aria many of thein will have to seek other employment. The men allege that the Western Union lost more by injury to business during the past four weeks thin would have paid the increase asked by the employees for ten years. There have been losse.t all around, but in this fight capital has beaten labor. When the telegraphers failed to bring tke companies to terms within the first forty-eight hours they should at once have endeavored to effect a compromise. The belligerent bodies would have been money ahead had this been done, and the public would have been better served during the past month. We have received the offer of an ad vertisement of the Guelph Opera House company, Trust, hut as the concern has been ably shown up asa humbug by the Toronto World, we refuse to have any thing todo with it.
