that the Czar not only desires peace, but
also desires that England should be in

seems strange after the Czar's recent
speech in Moscow, which really meant
war, without asserting it in so many
words. Doubtlessthe Czar personally
desires peace. And if the wiir party in
Russia, headed by ,the Czareetitch, could
get all they wanted, including the kill-

Trade Between Canada
Jamaica.
Immediately befoee the accomplish-
ment id Confederation, the establish-
ment Of_ trade' relations between this
country and our sister colony, the island
of Jamaica, was a prominent subject of
discussi4n. From various causes the
project fell through. Lately, however,
the subject has to some extent occupied
the attention of the press, as well as of
commercial men in the various centres of
trade, mainly through the efforts of Mr.
George Mason, a Canadian, who has
lately visited Jamaica, with a view, of
• making inquiries regarding the staple
imports and exports of the island, and of
directing the attention of the leading
merchants arid planters to the mutual
• advantages to be derived from commer-
cial intercourse with the Dominion. Mr.
Mason, having returned, met the Board
of Trade in the city of Hamilton, last
Tuesday, and read before that body an
elaborate statement of "exports into the
island, and from each market that has
• supplied it for centuries." Frorn this
statenaent we find that Jamaica takes
from other countries the following arti-
cles: White pine lumber, shingles,
• pork, kerosene oil, corn meal, boots and
shoes, hats and caps, lard, hams, apples,
furniture •made of wood, flour, corn,
cheese, butter, carriages, readYmade
clothing and cotton manufactures.
Jamaica -exports to other countries.
Cocoa nuts, coffee, fruits, lime juice,
pinaento, rum, sugar, woods of various
kinds, logwood and flour. The total
population of the island, by last ce
was 506,154; divided as follows : White ling."
13,101; colored, 10O346; black,.
767. Mr. Mason concludes 'his
eating and elaborate statement as
lows: "I hare now, gentlemen, to
best of my ability, pioneered 'your
ests in the Island of Jamaica, and
your able assistance I can at once
up the trade, and am prepared, if
merchants and manufacturers of th
minion will supply me with samples
only to substantiate what I have
you, but create a large trade for yo
once, not only in Jamaica, but in
duras, Hayti, Cuba, and in all the •o
West lndiaeIslands."

The Election of -President
Though another week has passed
definite decision has been arrived a
to whether Tilden or Hayes is the P
dent elect, although -it is scarcely possi-
ble that victory does not rightfully be-
long to the former. The public interest
•, is at present directed to the litotes of
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana,
in all of which the result of the late elec-
tion ia as yet undecided. That all the
returns have not come in, has beenthe
0 \
reason assigned for the delay in seer-
taining the final result. The matter is
now before the returning board of each
State. Both Democrats and Republicans
claim their candidates to be elected, the
former -giving figures to back up their as-
sertion, the latter not venturing to be so
positive as this. In Louisiana, however,
• the returning board has gone to work,
a committee of five Democrats and an
equaltnumber of Republicans having been
appointed to be present at t14 sittings
the Board, and to watch proceedings
the interest of the respective parties.
orida, the returning board are await-
• ing the coming in of all the returns the
being yet some nine counties from whi
• no returns have been received. Tild
requires the vote of but one of the
three States to elect him, while Hay
to be elected must have them all.
The Eastern Question.
The latest despatches from the Bast
are not of such a warlike charactennas
• those received last week, although prepar-
ations for war are going on with great
vigor. Then war appeared almost in-
evitable. The Porte would not consent,
•nor even listen, to a proposal for the
Conference of the great Powers, unless
accompanied by guarantees, which, un-
der the citcumstances, it would be un-
desirable, if not impossible, to grant.
• Now, however, it Jis reported that the
Porte has not only accepted the proposal
for a Coiaference, but also that the ac
eeptance has been made without any
conditions. So, the Conference „will, in
all likelihood, proceed with its delibera-
tions, and peace may result. What are
the ulterior designs of the principal ac-
tors in this intricate and complex prob-
lem, the "Ea.stern Question," will then
be more fully disclosed. What the

our contemporary would have us believe.
• If danger to these important documents
does exist, no matter how little or how
great, it,can surely be removed without
the erection of:, entire new buildings.
The Globe speak very very eontemptuously
of the "rickety edifice," but many of our

its exterior appearance at least, that it
was very rickety while the interior is

A CANADIAN TRAVELLER ROBBED OF

weeks, and I think the sooner the better
that the true state of the labor market be
known.
EASTERN NEWS. -Turkish adherence
• to the Conference is wavering. The
English Government threatens to call a
European Conference without the parti-
cipation of the Porte. The Radical sec-
• tion of Parliament have convoked a
meeting to consider the policy of England
in regard to the autonomy of the Chris-
tian provinces in Turkey. A .Eteuter's
telegram from St. Petersburg says that
in pursuance of the partial mobilization
of the Russian army, preparations are
now being made for the mobilization -of a
sanitary corps. Moveable hospitals are
also being got ready • committees of
ladies have been formed' on the model of
those which worked with so much suc-
cess during the Franco-German war for
the private nursing of the wounded. The
Empress of Russia and Grand Duchess,
it is stated, have assumed the patronage
of these asseciations. It is improbable
that General Tchernayeff will retain
command of the Servian army in the
event of Russia being driven to action,
as his whole conduct in Servia has not
given satisfaction in official quarters
here.

A SORRY MISTAKE. -A newly -married
pair on their way to New York, when
betwedn Cochecton and Narrowsburg, on
an Vie train one day last week, caused
no little sensation to the occupants of the
car. On the bridegroom taking a roll of
brown paper out of his pocket, the bride
suddenly snatched it, raised the window
and threw it out, t‘You said you'd quit
chewing tobacco, there's so much of the
nasty stuff gone.," But her laugh changed
to tears when her husband informed her
that the roll was not tobacco but $100 in
greenbacks which he was about to place
in a safer place in hit pocket. As it
was dark at the !time, any attempt to
recover the money Was thought to be use-
less.
Tire SEIZURE OF THE STEAMER MONTE-
ZUMA. -It is reported that the steamer
Montezuma was seen near the Tortugas
• Island, off the Venezuelan coast, tnakiug.
for Laguayra. A Spanish war ship has
gone in pursuit. An eye -witness of the
seizure of the Montezuma says eighteen
passengers, including four women, came
aboard at Puerto Plata. The men de-
manded the surrender of the steamer in
the name of the Republic of Cuba. The
female passengers on the Montezuma
were apparently accomplices, haying
made several demonstrations after the
capture of the steamer in favor of the
captors. The cargo of the vessel con-
sisted of 50 cattle, some! 2,000 bags of
coffee, 1,500 bags of corn, and numerous
packages of dry goods from St. Thomas.
DISAPPOINiMENT AND SUICIDE. =-A
tragic scene was recently enacted on the
steamboat Aucithm, jest as she reached
Lauterbach from Criefswald on the
Rhine. A young lady fell heavily to the
deck; she was lifted up, but after a few
gasps expired • It appears that she was
a teacher, betrothed to a young man who
was studying chemistry in Griefswald.
In her pocket was found a despatch from
her lover, Say jug he could not see her
again, a little bottle containing pieces of
cyankalimu (a deadly poison), and a
farewell letter written to her lover, say-
ing that she had been to his house and
found what she wanted (the poison
taken from his laboratory). In her hand
was a large flask which had contained; a
solution of the cyankalium, the means
of her death.
THE FRENCH EMPRESS. ---A London
correspondent who recently visited the
Empress Eugenie describes her as the
model of an elegant, well-dressed woman,
and little more, her tall slip of al son
standing by her side, looking, perhaps,
more like her brotherthan her son, for
misfortunes and reverses have certainly
not aged.her handsome face. If I must
state my impression, it must be that I
was reminded of the consummate 'grace
and studied leerfection of some of the
stars of the Theatre Francais, rather
than any ideal picture of fallen greatness.
Her life at Chiselhurst is quiet and
simple. The Queen and the Princess
of Wales pay her occasional visits, and
French Imperialists, when in London,
make pilgrimages with Violeta in their
buttonholes to Chiselhuteit and. the grave
of Napoleon III.
DON'T GO WEST. -A correspondent in
a Detroit paper says: "Canada and the
Eastern States are sending their unem-
ployed "west," under the idea that work
is brisk and wages good. Detroit is
easily reached from Canada, hence we
may expect a tide of unfortunate immi-
grants who will be doomed to disap-
pointment. We have hundreds of strong,
able-bodied men and women of our owne
.who are able and willing to work and
cannot g0 it, and if present prospects are
not like "coming events casting their
shadows before," I am much mistaken.
Cairo has suffered terribly. The death
of 1,800 army horses and 2,700 belonging
to private persons was reported up to the
1st of October. Horses of price, well
kept and well fedi were. most attacked,
and succumbed most easily. It is de-
scribed as a kind of typhus, and death,
after great apparent pain, ensues in
few hours. The disease crept down th
river, clinging curiously to the righ
bank, and was -so destructive in many
dastricts that bullocks are alone in use
from the total destruction of the horses.
The Goveitiment is now fully alive to
the danger. Stringent regulations have
en issued as regards isolation of the
ectdcbanimals and their burial. But
regulations. somewhat defeat their
ect by the imposition of a fine of a
llar on each infected hose -a rule

A' Row in the Central Prison
Toronto.
At two o'clock on Monday it was re-
ported to Mr. Langmuir that there had
occurred at the prison what almost
amounted to a mutiny of eighty-six of
the 326 convicts that the institution at
present contains. The trouble commenc-
ed at dinner with a great deal of turbu-
lence and loud talking, and afterwards
the rebelli▪ ous men refused to work. Mr.
Langmuir at once proceeded to the pris-
on and caused the 86 to be drawn up in
line. He then addressed them, tell-
ing them that the rules of the prison
would be rigidly enforced, and that
while he was at all times willing to hear
well-founded complaints, he would,
under no circumstances, permit them to
take the settlement of any grievance into
their own hands. He warned them that
any insubordination On their part would
at once be put down with a firm hand,
particularly if it were of a combined
nature, offenders being flogged in the
prison square before all the rest of the
prisoners.
Having been informed that the alleged
cause of their complaint on the present
• occasion was that the dietary was insuf-
. 'dent, Mr. Langmuir told them that the
dietary was of the most liberal kind -
more so than that of any other prison in
Canada, and fully equal to that of any
industrial prison on the continent. He
said that it was infinitly better than
what was given to British soldiers, being
equal to from fifty to seventy-five ounces
of solid food per head.. He then ordered
such of the insubordinates as were win-
k, resume work instantly to remain in
line,jaud those who were not to step to
the front. Four of them came forward.
Mr. • Langmuir gave orders that these
:should each receive fifteen lashes on
their bare backs before all the other
prisoners and: the prison guards, except
one of the four whom he found to be
mentally weak, and therefore not en-
tirely responsible for his acts. The sen-
tence was immediately carried out, and

ANOTHER VICTIM. -A resident of the
last week found lying dead in a field near and
township of Hay, a farmer named Henry
Agnew, was on Thursday morning of
the village of Grand Bend in the toevtn-
ship of Stephen. A coronor's inquest was
held on the body and the jury returned
a verdict of, "Died from cold and ,ex-
posure." It is stated that the man had
been round the village hotel all the Pre-
vious day, and in the evenin h as
tnotaced by several to be much the werse
of liquor. It is supposed that he wan-
dered into -the field not knowing where
he was going, that he lay down, and the
oaight being cold and wet that ihe
succumbed to the exposure.
[ANOTHER ACCOUNT.]
S AD AFFAIR. -This week it is our pain-
ful duty to chronicle a sad affair which
occurred to Mr. Henry Agnew, an 1d
resident resident of this township. Mr. Agnew
is well and favorably known throughout
the County, and was one of the oldest
pioneers of the settlement, having been
residerit of the township for upwards
of 30 years. The particulars of his sad
end are as follows : It appears on Mon-
day of last week he started on a visit to
see a friend of his living in the township
of Stephen, and when passing Grand
Bend he had unfortunately taken the
wrong road. Night coming on, besides
being in the woods, he was at once.
' circled by darkness. His 'path led hiM
into a large creek, which empties into
50
about 100 buildings tp the place, whicli
speaks well for the enterprise of its in-
habitants.
-The township council of Stephen
has a little- elephant Ion its hands, in the
person of a live male baby, which some
unfortunate left to the mercy of the road
and the Council some time ago at Grand
Bend. The Council -would give it a lit-
tle fortune and start it in life, were it
willing. The baby is open for adoption,
its venerable guardian, the Council,
wishing to be relieved of it. Here is te
