Messrs. Editors :—Yesterday, the holy
Sabbath day, was desecrated by a gang of
men at work all day near the Brady cross-
ing of the river, laying water-pipes under
Union Co’scanal. ; Was this desecration by
and with the knowledge of our respected
Board of Water Commissioners? Can it be
that they, church members as a majority of
them are, ordered or consented to this vio-
lation of both the laws of God and man. We
trust there will be no more of the Sunday
work allowed on our public works. Allow
me as one of their constituents, and a warm

test against such desecration.

An English Notion on Life Insurance.
There is in London an institut on called
the Prudential company that conducts the
business to insurance of a somewhat novel
lan. At a recent meeting on the British
nstitute of Actuaries Mr. Brown, president
of the company, made a detailed statement
of the plan and business of the concern in
which he said that this industrial scheme
differs from ordinary life insurance in these
particulars :—1n the latter, the premium is
calculated according to the sum insured;
but in the former, the sum insured is calcu-
lated according to the premium ; in life m-
surance proper medical examlnatlons are
imperative; in this they are to a great _ex-
tent, dispensed with ; in the one case, chums
are not paid until thirty, sixty, or ninety
days have elapsed from date of death (If at
all ;) in the other, they are paid upon pre-
'sentation of the proper certificate, and
usually by return mail after notice of death
is received : nor is; there anything ”like so
much' circumlocution necessary in proving
claims and identifying those entitled to pa -
ment- Moreover, life insurance is general y
entered into as a means of making nrovi-
sions for family support, or for securing the
paymentof debts ; but the figures seem to
show that industrial insurance is mainly
used in England by the very poor classes to
rovide for their own funeral expenses. .
Last year the Prudential Company issued
296.935 policies, and as many as 8,000 have
been issued in a single week. From‘ the
fact that out of $1,500,000 premium receipts
one-fifth was upon 10,757 tifc policies and
the balance on 673,475 industrial policies, it
will be seen that the company has to keep
track of almost as many policies as all our
life insurance companies together. The
premiums are collected weekly upon; these
six hundred and fifty thousand policies, and
half a million of letters are sent out and
received yearly. '
The experlence of the company shows
that six hundred policy-holders change their
places of residence from one town to anoth-
or each week, on the average, and this he-
cessitates a change in the collection arrange-
ments ; for the ofiice or its agents must
collect the premlums. Then there are sev-
enty ' alterations required every week by
marriages, which, of cburse, change the
names of female policy holders. Tllc loss
or mislaying of policies involves the issue
of sixty duplicates a week, with all the for-
malities incidental thereto ; and, sad to say,
there are 250 claims presented weekly. The
remittancesby mail, in checks 'or money
orders, number 1,500 a week besides such
as come in the form of postage stamps, to
meet small payments, but aggregating near-
lv seven hundred dollars a week. The
Prudential pays postage to the amount of
forty thousand dollars per anuum. The
lowest premium paid is one penny per week
and the highest fourteen shillings. This
plan comprehends all ages from one to
eighty and above. The New York Times
savs ; ,
This industrial insurance system could be
made applicable to the people of this coun.
try. There are, to be sure, reasons for its
peculiar adaption to the poorer classes in
GreatBritain : but it must be admitted that,
under some form or other, the principle
might be imported here to advantage. And
we are not surprised to learn that some of
our progressive life insurance managers are
already engaged in studying out the prob-
lem‘ for its practical development in this
country. ‘ »
W We copy the above interesting out-
line oftlle new system of life insurance! as
it is called, from the Hartford Post. The
general features of the insurance principles
described above, have been already substan-
tially in operation by the honest Mutual Ben.
efit Life Insurance Companies of the country.
There is one of thc' so‘rt at New Haven,
which is honestly and faithfully managed
and must have proved in thousands of cases,
of 'inestimable benefit to the poorer classes
of society. A similar company has been
charterel and will no doubt, this fall, go into
operation here. Yet these Benefit orCo-op-
erative Companies, which are mainly de-
signed for those whose limited means do not
permit the taking of larger risks in the old
companies, have encountered the most bit-
Many of these companies, as well as have
also many of the old style companies, in the
City of New York, have been gotten up by
thieves and conducted in iniquity. but we
believe the principle to be as fair and as
equitable, and the results as satisfactory as
in any of the more expensives modes of Life
Insurance. Despite all that has been writ-

-Through the ‘nrltlslr Provinces.
Thejuhabltunts seem to be largely of Irish descent,
andilf not a land of 'orange' blossoms it is certainly
a land'of orange men and women.
A:g'rcat difficulty an American has to encounter
here andall through the Prcvlnces is with his money,
and the nuisance grows worse as he passes from one;
Province to another. The moment he crosses the
line his money is at a discount, and the best thing he
can do is to change it as soon as possible, or else he
will be put to inconvenience everywhere, and be
obliged repay any amount of premium asked. A
law has Just come into effect to make a unifolm cur-
rency throughout the Dominion of Canada, and an
' act has been passed bylthe Island government to
change the present currency so n‘s’to conform with
the new Dominion currency, which goes into effect:
next January. At present ‘lt is very difficult for
strangers to keep run of the value of the money they
may have on hand, and the natives themselves are
often confused. It is amusing to see buyer and seller
whip out their pencils to compute the ditl‘erencc in
currency, especially as they must be exact to a penny.
Paper is usedfor amounts of one dollar or over, and
specie forless; pennies are as large as our old "cop-
pers" and me of considerable importance. When a
man has a pocket. full of them he has money 1 hatwill
go a good ways, for the people are not above looking
after the pennies. In this respect, as in most others,
the people in lobe just about where we were in
New Enala wenty years ago. Our money is at a
discount in all of the Provinces, New Brunswick
money‘wlll not pass on the Island. the lsland money
(be same, by the way, as our old "Yankee curren-
cy") isnottaken in the Provinces, and Nova Scotla
money is .not even good at home, having just been
thrown out to make room r the Dominion currency,
but: still much of his i irculatiou, but taken at
a discountrthe Government being unable to supply
enough of the new-currency, at present, for the needs
of business. ' Altogether it is a badly jumbled up
mess, and it. i's-tolfe hoped that'they will follow the
example of the Yankees and make a currency that
will pass as readllv in Halifax or Charlottetown as
in Quebec or Toronto,
Persons desiring a strictly quiet summer resort
veill find this Island a delightful spot, and a very
econom cal place to live. Board can he had at the
best hotels in the,“ city” fora dollar and a half per
day. or about six dollars per week, and at farm houses
for from 38 to 34 per week. New Englanders, hows
.ever, must not: expect to live as well as at home un-
less they keep house for themselves.
' Persons visiting this far out‘of-the waynook with
the expectation of finding a wild country and plenty
of “sport” will be disappointed. Therein no wild
game on the Island ofany account, and trout fishing
ls scarce. There is a brook seven or elghtmlles from
Summerslde where troutlng is said 150 be excellent,
but this cannot last long. - ' v .
We left the Island‘ln the steamer St. Lawrence, at
~ “5 o’clock in the morning," before the milk maids
were stirring, and three hours before early breakfast
time at the hotel." It was a bright sunny morning
as we steamed out of tho harbor, and as we passed
down, the coast, and across the Straits, the Island
lay basking-in the sunshine, the varied tints of forest
and field over the bright red coast line looking beau-
tiful lnde_ed. . . .
After leaving a market. where everything was so
o’eap we thought there would be achance to get a
fair breakfast. Itvwas finally served, the Captain
carving, and consisted of coffee. beafsteak cooked
with onions, and poor bread—they do not seem to
understand the art of bread-making down there, for
the bread is almost invariablypoor. There is nova-
riation in the bill of fare, one must take what is ,set
before him or nothing. When about half way across
the Straits of Northnmberland the vessel entered
a fog bank, and after a time the steamer slowed and
the lead was cast. Water shouted rapidly, and the
boat stopped just in time to keep off shore, and as
the fog lifted a little we saw the masts ofa schooner
high and dry on land“ We were several miles out of
the way, and had to put back to find the entrance of
'Plctou harbor,which we did without further trouble.
The entrance is very narrow. but inside there is
great plenty of room.- The village is local ed on the
north side of the harbor, on a side hill, from the top
of which a very pleasing view is obtained. There is
an old battery of six guns on the hill in a command-
ing position, but completely exposed. The village
has a dull look and the houses a sailor boarding
house appearance. The Y. M. C. A'. was apparently
flourishing for they occupied a store as a Reading
Room, which was well supplied with English, Pro-
vincial, and a few American papers. 0n the oppc site
side of the harbor, connected by a steam ferry is the
terminus cf the Nova Scotia railroad. A truck is
also run out are wharf and the Nova Scotia coal is
loaded from the cars into vessels. ;
Salmon are caught near this place in considerable
numbers, and soul to American vessels for seven
cents per'ponnd. &
The railroad from Pictou to Ha ' x, 113 miles,
runs through a well settled count nd there are
several quite large villages along the line. Co .1 and
iron mines abound here. As we approach Halifax
the road winds in and around along series of lakes
which add much to the interest of the traveler.
Finally we reach Halifax Basin. is large and bean ti-
ful sheet of water, really a part of the fine harbor,
but running around to the rear of the city. 'We do-
scribe-almost a cilcle around this and finally arrive
at the terminus at Richmond, the road not hav-
ing been completed into the city. Taking cabs or
very shabby-looking horse cars, we ride about two
miles to Hollis street, where are located the " In-
ternational ” and “ Halifax," the two leading hotels
of the city. We stopped at the first-named, a brick
hutch—the other is of wuod,—and fortunately se—
cured a good room. Two days after, Mnand Mrs. C.
J. Starr, of Stamford, and Miss Starr. of Brooklyn,
arrived at the same hotel.
Ever since its settlement Halifax has been a place
of considerable importance, and always a military
station, its location being very desirable. It is situ-
ated on the coast on the north side of a large and ex-
cellent; harbor. It is built on the side of a high hill,
the crest of which is surmounted by a strongmnd ex-
tensive citldel. In' a few respects it resembles ue-
bec, but in others it is entirely'difi‘er‘ent. The citadel,
barracks, Governor’s residence and other public
buildings on the Plains, give the upper portion of the
city the appearance of the Plains of Abraham at.
Quebec, but the style of buildings and general char-
acter of the place and people are very different from
Quebecq-everythiug is English instead of French,
Protestants predominate instead of Catholics. The
city is old but: still well up with the times. The
houses are principally of wood, but. the new buildings
are generally of brick and stone, and some are fine
and imposing in appearance. Many of the stores are
large and attractive and well stocked with goods, the
proprietors seeming imbued with Yankee enteprlse.
Horse cars run through the principal streets to the
depot at Richmond, but. have a quaint look, and do
not appear to be patronized very freely. They have
only one entrance and that in front by the driver.
The place has hatt its ups and downs in the past,
and does not now seem to be growing very rapidly.
If the military should all be removed from here, as
they have been from other stations in the Provinces,
it: would be shard blow to the' city. The two rail-
roads which have recently been constructed through
the Provincewill assist the city to holdits own i not.
to expand. The English steamers touch here, and
when the European and North American Railroad is
completed next month, passengers can travel one-
third of the way from New York (the part said to be
the worst) by rail, in palace cars. .
The extensive plains around the citadel are occu-
, pied by Government buildings and grounds, a Public
Garden, Reservoir. Horticultural Garden, and the
Common, where the people resort for walks and
drives. This is a beautilnl feature of the place. and
very attractive. We spent an afternoon in the vicin-
ity with much satisfaction. Fortunately for us it
was “ Band Day," which added lunch to our enjoy-
ment. We visited the Horticultural Gardens, paying
a small entrance fee, and found it laid out with pleas-
nt walks winding in and- out among flower-beds,
shrubbery, fancy borders, beds of vegetables raised
with an eye to effect, a brooklet, waterfalls, small
fountains, the. A building in the center of the
grounds, witha stage in the open air seemed provid-
e d for addre.-ses~ or performances, and on the lawn
in front was the full Band of a Scotch regiment, in
full uniform, giving a concert. The selections were
‘ ot’ a high order, and were rendered» as only these
Military Bands in constant-practice can render them.
Ladies and gentlemen lounged 'omthe seats or prom-
enaded through the grounds listening to the music,
and happy children, in gleeful sport, filled up the
chinks everywhere. At. intervals between the Brass
Band selections, seven Pipers of the Band, marched
up and down playing their strange music. In an-
other part of the grounds ladies and gentlemen were
playing croquet on the best field we ever saw. The
grounds were laid out for four sets, side by side, and
was rolled down so that it was level as a parlor floor
and the grass was cut so short that it looked like a
carpet. Adjoining._this was a long field devoted to
archery and two parties of ladies and gentlemen
were practicing with the “long bow," targets being
set. np-at each end of the field. The ladies proved
themselves. very fair marksman. and the sport-ap-
pearedentieing. We presume that it will not; be
long before our ladies will follow suit in archery as
they did in croquet.
Arrangements ~ were being made for the great‘
“Aquatic Carnival” which came off last week, and
at which twenty thousand visitors were expec'cd,
Howlto take‘care of so many was a serious question,
and the Mayor called upon all the people to assist;
proprietors of hotels, boarding houses. andall;pri-
vate families willing to entertain any of the visitors
were urged to send word how many each would take.
If anything like tnat number attended probably
many had to sleep on the commons. During our
stay there was a fog hanging over the harbor con-
stantl y, and from all accounts it has been very, foggy
there all summer. One man declared to us that there
was snow there six'months In the year, and fog the
other six.
We left the city early in the morningof August
first, bound for St. John again, paSsing through
the “Garden of Acadia"—-tho “Home of Evangeline,"
—on the ears to Annapolis. The country around
Windsor‘wns beautiful, and under good cultivation.
How strange it seemed to be whirling through; this
Acadtan valley in steam carsl "‘Naught but tradi-
tion remains of the beautiful . village of Grand Pre"
sings Longfellow, but the train now stops at the sta-
tion of “ Grand Pre" around whlch a “ little village”
is swinging up, and in the vicinity a Ipeculator has
erected large buildings and is engaged ln sheep rais-
ing and“pastnres flocks without number" on the vast
meadows. Away to the northward, across the Basin
of Mines, '
“Blomldon rose. and the forests old, and aloft on
the m onntains
Sea-fogs pltnhed their tents, an
mi hty Atlantic;
Looked on the happy valley, but ne'er from their
stations descen e ."
At Annapolis we changed care for the small steamer
d mist‘s from the
Empress and sailed down the river through rain and
id; to mgby, and thence through Dlgb‘y Cut out on
the Bay of Fundy and steamed forty miles through
dense fogs to St. John where we considered ourselves
fortunate to arrive safely, which we did abouts p.m.
Next morning we departed in menu steamer New
York of the International Steamship Line, for For -
land. Unfortunately there was a thick fog on' the
ocean all day and night, and the only glimpse we
had of the coast was at Eastport, where we stopped
an hour. Early in the morning we arrived at Port-
land, uud after devoting a few hours to sight-seeing
started for home via. the Eastern Railroad through.
Portsmouth and the shore towns of Massachusetts to
Boston, thence by the Shore Line to Providence.
We enjoyed a short visit in this wide-awake city, but
resisting a strong temptation to spend a day at New-
port and Rocky Point, hurried home, and arrived
much pleased with the trip. G. N. Ii.

In transferring HOME LAWN to Miss Hanan M.
S-rsvens, Miss Beecher is quite sure it' WlII not onlv
continue to merit the very liberal patronage which
has been bestowed upon it, but that it will take even
higher rank amongthe best. institutions of the state
and country. As a successful teacher none stand in
advance of Miss Stevens. ther qualifications as a
woman and a citizen there is no need to speak, as
these will testify for themselves in clue time. Hav-
iurz no opportunity to see all her friends, Miss
Beecher accents this as the only vehicle at command
by which to convey her thanks to the people ot Nor-
walk for the uniform courtesy and kindness which
she has received, and especially to'those with whom
she has bad business relations. She would also take
occasion to bespcak the same kindness for her suc-
cessor. It is desired Ihat: all claims shall be adjusted
this month. The debit. side of the ledner will be
made clean, and Miss Beecher hopes the same may
be true of the credit side.
