and Progress" 1, Self culture. Our philoso-
ply of life must be right. There should be
cultivated that spirit which, recognizing indi-

combats and overeomes or greatly modiies
them. 2. All diligent and growing souls in
love with truth and righteousnessl Unjust lend a
helping hand to those who need their aid. To
this end, faith in the possibilities of human
nature should be constantly deepened 8, The
truth and motiv es which Christianity supplies
are essential to the spiritual progress of the
world. We believe that our system of faith
is based on the truest Interpretation of the
gospel, that it affords the best exposition of the
principles of Christianity therefore, the

THE LAKE HURON.
a New Beaver Line Steamship.

On Saturday, the 10th inst, the steamship
''Lake Huron" the latest addition to the
steam feet of the Beaver Line, owned by the
Canada Shipping Co., was successfully launch
ed from the yard of the London and Glasgow
Engineering a Id Iron Shipbuilding Co
Qimitedl Govan, Glasgow. The Lake
Huron the largest steamer yet built for the
Beaver Line, is 400 tons gross, 400 feet in
length over all, AZ feet 6 inches in breadth and
has depth of hold of 81 feet inches. She is
built to the highest class of Lloyd's, and is
equipped with engines of the following class:
Diameter of cylinders IS and 81 inches; stroke
of engines, go inches; effective horse power,
5000. She is also supplied with three well
constructed large double-ended boilers, fitted
with Fox's corrugated steel furnaces, and
loaded to working pressure of so lbs per
square inch.
1t is almost unnecessary to say that this
magnificent steamer has been fitted up with
all the latest improvements, with the view of
affording the greatest possible comfort to a
select number of saloon passengers. With an
eye to the large flow of emigration. she has
been constructed to offer excellent accommo-
dalton to 1900 Storage passengers, being sup
piled with the latest patent canvas beruhs, ard
all the essential comforts for this class of pas
sengers. The Beaver Line has already
achieved a fine reputation among the cattle
trade, and the Lake Huron" has been built
for special adaptation to that important branch
of our commerce with the mother country, be-
ing provided with the most perfect ventilation,
and all the other improvements suggested by
the Company's large experience in the carry
ing of cattle across the Atlantic. The Beaver
Line feet now consists of five excellent
steamers-the "Lake Winnipeg "Lake
Manitoba" Lake Nepigon,' Lake Cham
plain,' and last but not least, the new "Lake
Huron 1t is by no means improbable that the
Lake Huron will visit this port this winter to
continue the cattle carrying trade.

The Bangor Wing and Alexander Troup.
During the Presidential campaign the Ban
gor Wing published letter from New Haven
correspondent containing some serious ACCUSE
lions against Mr.. Alexander Troup, Green
back orator, who was stumping the State at
the time Mr.. Troup pronounced the charges
false and brought suit for libel. The editor
of the Wing expressed his willingness to re-
tract the charges as publicly as they were made
when he discovered that he had been misled
by the New Haven correspondent, but Mr..
Troup would not accept this but wanted some
thing more. Recently, however, Mr.. Troup
concluded that IA retraction was all he could
reasonably expect, and this the Wing accord
ingly contained Monday. The statement made
by the Bangor Commercial and copied by the
Advertiser that the Wing paid Mr.. Troup's ex-
penses in the suit is untrue. The Wing paid
nothing. Mr.. Troup has Withdrawn his suit.
