A case came before tke Sheriffs Court at Dundee, Scotland, recently in which a woman claimed aliment from her threo sons-in-law. The shoriir docided that "the liability of a son-in-law to support his wife's parents was a natural one which he was bound to take over with his wife." The mother-in-law, in Scotland at least, is thus a firmly established institution with a legal status now added to ber former great moral weight in the house- hold, ' At Saginaw Oity, Mich., Nov- euiler 29, u terrific explosion, at a quarter to ono p.m., shook tho city, and was closely followed by ail alarm of fire from the direction of the Steglein furniture factory, standing nearly in the center of the eity. When the firemen reached the scene, tho factory was demolished and enveloped in flames—tho wreck was complete. The cause of the explosion was an accumulation of dust Tlie mon had just left for dinner, or the loss of life would hare been frightful. An exchange says : The Canadian oitiea have nothing to be ashamed of in the growth recorded during the last twenty years. We have Toronto springing from 66,- 000 in 1871 to 170,000 in 1888, and Montreal growing from 107,- 000 in 1871 to 186,000 in 1886, Hamilton during the same period increasing from 26,700 to 41,280, London from 15,820 to 26,000 and Ottawa from 21,000 to 36,000. In the five years between 1881 and 1886 Montreal gained 32 per cent, Toronto 54, Hamilton 17, London 32 and Ottawa 36.

Columbia St., New West'r. 41 Government St., Victoria dwstUyl The Journal iP Agriculture states that it is customary in Upper Saone (France), both on farms and in villages, to preserve meat in summer by placing it in large earthen panH or pots tilled with curdled milk, or even with skimmed milk, which soon curdles, and storing the vessels in the cellar. In order to keep tlio meat beneath tho surface of tho milk, it is loaded with clean stones. Meat is preserved in this way for over a week, without the least change of its flavor. When it is needed for use, it is simply washed and dried. The milk ii fed to swine. i Says America: Reports from London slato that Her Grace the Duchess of Marlborough intends spending the winter in tho south of France, her husband, the Duke, remaining in England. This would seem to indicate that the domestic eirele is not without its storms, American women who marry titles instead of the men they love must be prepared for a life in which marital happiness plays no part. A coronet cannot take the place of a heart; and the sooner American women learn that the only title of nobility to whioh they should aspire is that of the wife of sn honest man, the better it will be for their happiness and that of thoso who hold them dear. A now departure in the field of telephony is announced in the shape of the Lowth stettio-telephone, which dispenses with the diaphragm. It is described as a combined transmitter and receiver. A hollow extension about four inches long is attached to the receiver, (rom the end of which a small button protrudes slightly. This • button ia placed againit tho throat near tho vocal chords, and the receiver is hold against the ear in the usual manner. When the operator speakt the vibrations of the throat are transmitted with distinct elearncss. The instrument is operated not by soundwaves, as is the Bell telephone, but by the muscular vibrations that accompany tho utterance of words. It is claimed by tho patentees that for this reason the instrument can be used more sue- cossfuly in longdistance talking than the old system, because there is no limit to the strength or number of batteries that oan be used An exchange says: One of the largest millers in the United States, 0. A, Pilltbury, it credited with assorting that American millers do not dampen their wheat before grinding it. This is correct of some millers, but not of til and the reason it not attributed to differences in millers, but to differences in wheat. Most of the California wheut ground in this itate is moistened, because it is found necessary to do so. On the other band, Oregon wheat will not itand dampening, as it contains enough water without this treatment On this account local millers prefer California wheat, at they can add the necessary water for nothing, whioh they have to pay for in the Oregon article. When shipped abroad or stored for monthi at tidewater, thore is less difference, as wheat which is not moist will become so whon in a damp atmosphere. California wheat when afloat gains two to three per cont from absorption of moisture. A certain percentage of water in wheat is essential to render it lit for grinding, and the moisture has to be either found in tho grain or applied artificially thereto. Childnn Cryfor Pitcher's Castoria ANOTHER W HITECH A I'EL MURDER. London, Deo, 21.—The dead body of an unknown woman was found in tbe populous district with an empty phial lying beside it. At first it was supposed toe woman suicided by poison but evidence was produced at the autopsy to-day showing the stomach contained no poison. A small cord wai found tied around the throat, which Is believed produced strangulation, it Is thought death re- suited from this cause. 'The unfortunate woman Is not identified, but she waa of the same clan as those murdered by the so-called Whitechapel fiend. Her body was still warm when discovered. It ia thought to be impossible that the woman could have committed suicide in open thoroughfare where tho body waa found.

DYING. The Earl of Warwick is dying. NEWS FROM STANLEY, Zanzibar, Dec. 21,—Letters dated Stanley Falls: Aug. 29, have been de* livered by Tippo Tib's men. They state a letter was received at Stanley Falls, from fl. M. Stanley, Aug. 28. Stanley was then at Boneyala, on the Aruwhirai river, whero he had arrived Auguat 17. He had left Emin Pasha 82 days before, in perfect health and provided with plenty of food. S'-nloy hod returned to Boneyala fcr the the loads in charge of his rear guard and intended to leave in ten days to rejoin Emin. He reported all the whites in the expedition healthy and said the expedition wanted nothing, EXPELLED FROM POLAND.

LoNnox, Dec. 21.—With reference to tho British legation at Washington, some kind of coinpr.-miau in now Enid to be in favor at the foreign ullice. Sir Jas. Fei'tJUsiiirBstatuintjiit in the housu of c-iiniiion** on Monday scorns to have made a bad impression. Sir Willinni Harcourt, whoso attitude was both friendly and sensible, tried to etilar-'Q it by assuming thore was.no foundation for the belief that nn new minister would bo sent while Mr. Cleveland Was president, but Sir James, unable to go an inch beyond the strict hitter uf Lord Salisbury's written instruct!.* s to him, declined to sanction this view. He repeated all that had beon snid wa. that no declaration of intended delay hod been made. This convinced tho members of tho houae that Lord Salisbury meant to let matters drift. They saw the danger of suoh a course sooner or later. The American minister must ask for explanations and must go home if none was forthcoming. It is therefore now suggested that Mr. Edwards shall return as charge d' affairs. But for the Sackville incident, Mr. Edwards, who was here on leave of absence would already have returned. It is felt thnt to prevent his retu-itn is an affront possibly graver than the failure to send a succespor to Lord Sackville. The latter 11 butau action of omission,but Mr. Edwards can only remain here by order of his superior,which is an aot of commission. Many reasons might bo given for not immediately appointing a new minister, aud the only possible reason for keeping Mr. Edwards away from his post ii tho deairo to resent Lord Saokville's dismissal. a coachman's funeral. Yesterday beheld a spectacle this generation has nover before witnessed and which, perhaps, no generation nny where else in thu world could have produced. It was nothing less than a public funeral to "Jem" Selby, Into whip of the Brighton MM Times Coach. His business iu lifo was to drive four in hand. He did it perhaps better than any rival. Uo wns ttt tho head of his profession and to thousands hu was a hero. Neither ()ueen nor uovurnmoiit sent a delegate, but little else was wanting to make thia a solemn cere- mouiul. The body lay in slate aud multitudes gathered about tho house and lilted one w li "h1 quarter of London. A diviiinii of police kept ordor. The funeral cor wns covered with costly and beautiful Howera. Eighteen coaches, three drags nnd some hundreds i-f private carrisges nnd cabs formed a Erooession over a milu long.

Washington, Dec. 14.—As regards the commission recently appointed by the secretary of the navy, under a provision for that purpose contained in the last naval appropriation bill, to examine the coast north of tho forty- second parallel of north latitude, in the shite of Oregon and the territories of Washington and Alaska, and to select n suitable sight for a navy yard and dock*-, it may be said that the commissioners had .an interview with the Oregon senators at the capitol, and discussed various possible locations. The names of prominent business men at each location were selected; also such other information as the senators could givo them. The commissioners will examine Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay, Portland, Astoria, Tacoma, Seattle, Port Townsend, and other places on Puget Sound. Tho commissioners will confer with prominent men at each place, and will make a careful examination of the advantages which eaeh presents. CATTLE, COAL AND HOPS. San Francisco, Dec. 10.—Bradstreet's Commercial Agency reports 15 failures in the Pacific coaat elates and territories for last week, as compared with 20 for the previous week and 8 for the corresponding week in 1887. The market Is in a downward condition. Australian coals have been further marked down. The price principally for cargoes from such colleries as Seattle and Sydney, as produce only steam coal, that come in direct competition with our coast output, have also oeen marked down materially. Coaat cargoes show a clear loss of 81.50 to $1.75 per ton to the shipper. Coast mines are shipping freely, but very little is accumulating in the yards owing to increased consumption. The hop market is very dull and the prospects are not encouraging for any Immediate movement In consequence. The atock of California cattle is light. Nearly all tho arrivals during the past week have been from Nevada and eastern Oregon, the latter being in the best condition. Prices for salmon and wool remain linn. Wheat ia higher; barley is easier; onU and corn dull; sugar lower; potato--;- and onions firm; butter weaker, and ■'-•-■s in good demand. NORTHERN PACIFC DEATEN.

Paris, Dee. 20.—Tho newspapers comment upon M, Lacour's speech in the senate yesterday aa a masterly effort although seveial of them reproach hiin for striking a blow fat the republic by attacking tho radicals. The Journal des Debate credits him with tho courage of his conviction. In the senate this afternoon M. Leon Say withdrew his motion on M. Lacour's speeoh. After he madethis announcement, M. Naguet ascented the tribune and reviewed M. Say's motion. This caused a great uproar, the members shouting -'enough, enough," and demanding that the member take his seat. The president stated that IU, Naugot would take M. Say's motion on bis own account. There was renewed disorder, and M. Naguet left the tribune to make a speech from the floor, but the tumult drowned his voice. Several members shouted to expel him. The president, when ho could mnke himself heard, called M. Naguet to ordor, Tbe latter thereupon left the chamber. The senate rejected hia motion and resumed the debate on the budget.

Speaking of the Westminster Southern Railway somo time sinco, wo referred to it as u "citizens' affair." Tlio truth of this remark has been demonstrated on every occasion of public expression on the subject, and again last night more forcibly than ever. As will be seen by the very full report of the meeting last night in our columns, the citizens and ratepayers bave enthusiastically and successfully inaugurated 11 movement whioh places the Southern Railway matter beyond the threats and machinations of its worst enemy and the ill-judged opposition of the most stupid avowed friend. Resting as it does upon the sure foundation of tbe will of the vast majority of the ratepayers, the scheme must have been eventually oarried out in its entirety, at any rate; but tbe public confidence hnd been somewhat disturbed by threats of what seme of the injunctors still meant to do, and delays and partial paralysis in prosecuting the work must have ensued. By tho action of the citizens last night, however, complete confidence bas been restored, the citizens havo done not only themselves and tho city infinite credit, by sustaining our untarnished reputation for honor and good faith, bub the injunctors and all workers against the city's interests in the matter are completely set at naught and all their throats of future proceedings may be laughed at, while work on the railway, ferry, ite, will go on with all possible despatch, and the city will reap the conseijuei.t advantages. The meeting last night also demonstrated that the cllnrts of the patriotic (1) injunctors arc not appreciated, and that the guntleiiiun composing our local railway company, instead of being the liooillers and schemers some loud nud rcckluss spouters have insinuated, aro generally recognized as tho true friends of tho city, and worthy of overy support and encouragement. The royal oity has again shown that no obstacles will be allowed to stand in the way of her progress, by whomsoever interposed. We take pleasure in quoting the following leading article in full from yesterday's News, and would recommend its perusal by our readers: "We aro sorry to see tho tardiness with which the people of New Westminster are responding to the proposal of our cotemporary, Tub Columbian, to raise a fund towards the necessary expenses connected with the exhibition of tbo Provincial Agricultural Association, which is to be held in the Royal Oity next year. Such reluctance to contribute to this object would seem to indicate an indifference on the part of the citizens of Westminster to the matter that is not worthy of a place which in other matters has shown so much enterprise. Vancouver was anxious that the meeting of the association should be held here, and had the vote been favorable to this place there is no doubt our citizens would have responded so liberally to any call for assistance that the exhibition at Vancouver would bave far outshone any of its predecessors aa regards the magnitude of the show and the liberal manner in which the arrangements connected with it avere carrird out. As it is, however, under the rules of the association which require that the annual meetings shall be held on tbo island and mainland alternately, it will not be possible for an exhibition of it to be hold in Vancouver before 1891 and in consequence of this it is probablo tbat efforts will bo mode to organize a new and local association. Under these circumstances, therefore, it behooves tho people of Now Westminster to bestir themselves and thow to the whole province that in the selection of that placo for the meeting of 18149, u wise choice was made. The people of Vancouver also would be doing a friendly act if thoy showed a hearty desire to cooperate with thoir neighbors on the Fraser. We were carefully ignored in the arrangements for the meeting held thit year, but tho managers of the association saw tlie mistake they nude in acting ns they did before the meeting was over. When, howover, an exhibition of this character is held iu Vancouver, we may count upon the people of Westminster assisting us, and, in return, the oiti- zent there may depend that if they aot energetically in regard to the forthcoming moeting in their city, thtt Vancouver will do all in her power to mako it a eomplote success," Notwithstanding the apparent UrdinNS of our oitiiens in the matter of raising the exhibition fund, we hsvo every confidence that they will do the grand thing nnd insure that tho provincial exhibition of I860 shall be a brilliant success in every particular. The royal cily tnsy be depended on every time, if it il ■ little slow ocnotionally. An examination of tho suggestions nnd recommendations of tlie salmon dinners and packers of the province, together with their reasons and ex. planations, in the niatter of proposed fishery regulations for the province, to be found on another page, will convince any unbiased person that the new regulations just issued require modification in tho interests of the salmon fishing industry. With respect to section 2, dealing with the size of mesh for salmon net, we believe that the recommendation of tbe cannerymen, that the minimum size of mesh be 5} instead of C inches, has been made good by their reasons in support of it, which are, substantially, tbat the fish of the sock- eye run vary in size different years, and while a six inch mesh might work very well on gome occasions, at other times the majority of the fish would go through. A change in this respect, too, would mean a considerable loss in nets, which would havo to be discarded. Serious objection is taken to the clause providing that nets shall not obstruct more than one-third of a river, which practically limits tho length of all nets to one-third of the width of the narrowest part of the river fished, or confines longer nets to certain drifts.' It is considered by the dinners and fishermen that two-third, of tho river should be allowed to be fished in the narrowest parts, thus permitting the use of a net of respectablo length throughout. Thoir recommendation in this respect, we believo should be attended to. The new regulations sny thnt "fishing for salmon shall be discontinued from six a-m. on Saturdays to six a.m. of the following Monday" —48 hours in all. This provision was before the canners and packers of the Fraser River and of tbe province in draft, and was very strongly opposed. The reasons for the very decided opposition of tbo canners on this point are well set forth in their communication to the inspector of fisheries, which will be found on another page. It will be seen that the canners and fishermen do not wish any extension of the present close time, which is from noon Saturday till six p in. on Sunday, or 30 hours. They argue that, with the 48 hours close timo of the new regulations, operations will have to be suspended in the canneries part of Saturday and all of Monday, which would bo a great loss in various ways, as set forth. It cannot be denied that there is considerable force in the arguments of lite canners in this respect; but we think, with the inspector of fisheries, that, while 48 hours close time may injuriously affect the canning interests, 30 hours is not sufficient, and that tho close timo should be at least 36 hours—either from six 11.111. Saturday till six p.m. on Sunday, or frjm noon on Saturday till twelve, midnight, on Sunday. Wc should prefer to see the latter proposition carried out, as we believe it would be equally aa good for the canners and fishermen, and would, at the same time, be more in the line of Sabbath observance, which, as an avowed Christian nation, we are bound to protect whenever possible. Clause (i, added by the canners and packers themselves, with the reasons and explanations given by them, must commend itself to the favorable consideration of the fishery authorities at Ottawa, as constituting an important protection to the sockeye salmon, by the use of large meshed nets for a certain period, and, by the proposed close season from the 20th of October to the 1st of February, protecting not only the spring ialmon and cohoes to somo extent, but safe-guarding the market against unseasonable and poisonous fish. With respect to section 6 of the new regulations, empowering the minister of marine and fisheries to "determine the number of boats," be,, to be used in "any of the waters of British Oolumbia," it is to be hoped that this power may be exercised judiciously the coming season, and substantial protection thus afforded the salmon, without militating against the fishing industries at the lame time.

Tho netnal ceremonies in connection with this dunue are very tiresome as are all theso I mt In n ceremonies, if they can be dignified with such a name. There may be an occasional extra shuffle In the dance, but it is the samo old thing, the same old song and the iaiiii! old time. Itmakhs one tired. About thu only thing which can excite one's curiosity is the making of a brave. On Sunday one Indian went through the ordeal. In the olden time, when there was really a good deal of torture connected with this ceremony, there might have been something in it worth seeing. . '. Now, however it Is different. No braves were to be made this year, and the one who finally submitted to the operation offered himself for $3, Ur. Boorne, the enterprising photographer, had bargained with the buck for thnt amount. After about an hour of weary waiting a ghost-like figure glided into thii lodge, closed his fingers over the $3, and glided out again. Another hour and a half nnd the victim had not returned, and both tlie photographer and the peoplo began to 'think that, alter he had the money safe in his pocket he had changed his mind. Every (-nt) left the lodge to start for home, and just at that moment the ghostly annaritioii reappeared ready for the fray, lie was powdered all over with pblkaoots of yellow, which made him look something like a hail florin. His oniy clothing wus a breech oloth. Lyingonhis baok on the ground, three or four Indians sot about him and the operation began, pinching the flesh between two fingers, it was pulled out and a knife run through It. A small stick about two inches .hmgwasrunin the incision, and that was done. The same operation was repeated on the back. To the latter a shield was fastened. A rawhldo lnriat doubled, hung from the center pole, and one of these ends was fastened to the stick in each breast. Taking one in each hand, the candidate for (honors yanked at them with all his might Then leaning backwards, he threw his lull 'weight on tho ropes, aud suspending by the sticks In his breast, danced tmckwurd and , forward around the pole. Finally the flesh 'gave way, and he fell on the ground And laid there, a full-fledged brave. Before the operation began an old party got out nnd counted the young man's coups. The list wns not a very long one He stole a gun, mid he stole some horses, and he stole M>ine arrows, and probably regretted that he had not stolen more while ho was about it. .The old party did not relate how many clothes-lines or hen-roost he hnd robbed. The young man then blessed the old fellow, threw his arms around the medicine pole nml prayed to the sun. This evidently put hi i better spirits, and the show related above proceeded. Then, tired out every on* rushed forthe wagons and snid good-bye to the Sun Dance, pcli one vowing secretly that it was the inst one thoy would ever go to, But thty all said tbe same lost years i vuiiTvuiiwsiui iiuaucr. That is a pity," says the minister, "be* tie I have a good husband for tbceV' U'lirt la hir" tlm nulro. Matrimony in Grot-altttb ; The preacher Is invariably resorted io, both by young men and maidens, as tht matrimonial agent, A young man comts to the missionary house and gays to him J "I want lo marry." "Whom V asked the tnlsatoMry, "Have you any one in mind?1' ("Yes," answers the lover, "but she will iot havo me* I want 70a to speak to her." ! "Have you not spoken for yourself V I "Many times, but she always says •No.'H ."That is nothing," says the pastor, *yo*j 'know tho ways of Maidens. Does sho like lyou" • "it is difficult to Ond ont, She will tell lyou." Tho pastor accordingly sends for the girl, [who comes willingly enough, knowing what the message means. 1 "Well, my daughter," he observes, "Hie dime you should think of marriage." "I never mean lo marry," is her invariable rnd conventional answer. ''That is a pity" cause! have a go . "Who is he," she asks. ' The missionary then tells her his name— although she knows it as well as ho does— land launches out into thelovcr's praise. He is strong, good looking, kindly* he caught two tine whales when his companions took none, or whatever else con be said to fate repute. r After the catalogue of Ml merits has bees necited the girl replies, "But I think him 1 good-for-nothing," "Ah. well," sayi the missionary, "thou art not wise. There is no lad that can fling, -a harpoon ai ha can. I ihall soon find him a wile." He then wishes the girl good day, affecting to believe that the Interview was over, But she is mre to linger, and alter a blush and a sigh she whispers: "So it is particularly your wish, Mr. Pastor: I do not quite like him," with a deep sigh, "but if you—" At this point she virtually hands over the business to the minister, who has to tell her that she knows she loves the lad; that the would not have come if she had not thought of accepting him, and that nothing is wanting, but to ask the blessing of God upon the union. The marriage, curiously enough, usually fakes place upon the very day on which the bride has emphatically protested tbat ihe will not have the bridegroom. ■ 'ie 1 m 1 in Pe Useful. - To ivery good and useful thing there are always certain valid objections, whtch could not be raised if that thing were any lcsi good or useful ihau it Is, The quality (hat gives to any person peculiar value in ont place, or at one time, Is pretty sure to be the vcrv quality that makes him just as peculiarly undesirable iu another place or at another time. Tho man of social disposition is more likely to incommode others by un* timely visits than the recluse who seldom or never visits at all; but the recluse is correspondingly as useless a member of society as ihe social man is useful. The man who is capable of fervor when fervor Is needed, is likely to be the man who is hot headed and rash when coolness and deliberation an needed; but society can batter put up with rashness than It can get along without lerror*. In the ripening of the summer grain thero H the clement of the sunstroke; bnt the world can better afford to take tho risks of ran- stroke than it can to be without grain. One who would be useful in the world must take Ihe risk of being an occasional auuoynaoe or obstruction. IMM lins na Blag and tha r-aa-saftt* A pleasant story Is told ol King Humbert >( Italy, who fs a skillful and enthusiastic* -portsumn, and who often goes ont alone, gun iu hand, in search of game, with two letten for attendants. During one of thoso solitary excursions ha viw met by a peasant, who wai amaied and [-flighted at the skill with which the King vinged a covey of partridges. He oomplT* mined the iportsman on hii shooting, and old hiin if he would come to hii farm tht lexi morning at daybreak, and kill a fox that mil been stealing his chickens, he would not iiiml giving him a couple of francs. King Humbert kept the appointment, tilled the fox, ate breakfast with the family, ;nd received hii two francs, delighting tho tumble family with hit good nature and inability. Two days afterward the peasant was att&f- d by the visit of an officer in gorgeous callage bringing presents to the family from ho King, and was greatly confused on earning that be had employed the Xing of Inly to rid his hen-roost ofathlof.

HOMAGE TO ASTASIA. , ■ •>- Neitbor Luis Nor l'liryne, 1>Ut A Glorious Woman With One Fault* Abasia, with her email, arched feet, and 3*lorious wreaths of honey-colored hair, was the loveliest as well as the most cultivated woman of her time. The honor paid to womanhood in its beauty, grace and intelligence culminated in Asposia, "With more vivacity than Helen she was as fascinating, ut love-inspiring.* Bhe bad every virtue but one, nnd even Socrates forgave her tho want of that one, The C< reek ideal of beauty and mind matching oif-ii other—"In a fair body a fair soul must dwell," says Soorntei—had its fullest expression in Aspasin, tho beloved of Per* ieles, himself the culmination of the most beautiful and the moat honorable national Ideal. She wns his teacher in eloquence, and perfected his gift in verbal beauty. To her, indeed, it was said, was really duo that famous oration which he pronounced in honor of those who fell In the Semian wnr, us well ns other examples of that eloquence which, "lliishingnndthunderiuglikeOlympin Zeus, shook all Hellas.'' For her he broke all other ties, and repudiated his wile that he might be faithful only to her. For her, this man, who ruled the noblest nation of the time, bore meekly the sarcasms of the comic poets, and humbled himself to the pcoiilo whon she wns accused of impiety—plending hor cause with prayers and tears, and winning her pardon by tho very agony of his love. For her he lived—for her and Athens, of which she was as the human symbol. She wns ids life, his love, his soul, his glory. Sho gave hiin the best of her superb intelligence, and helped him to be tbe man he was. She was tho friend of Socrates, to whom sho taught the inngie of her eloquence as she taught it to Alulbiades; and her influence over such men us these, who loved' and honored her, of Itself proves her nobility of nature, lletnirn she might be, but she wns not corrupt It Is impossible that she could have been a courtesan like Lais on Fhryne, She must have been rather after the pattern of a modern free lover—giving, not selling— too surely not chaste, but us surely not infamous. She was learned lu the arts of tho times, nnd wrote on the science of the cosine- tics—nor two volumes, unhappily, burned in the Alexandria library. It is not difficult to picture her, half sitting, half reclining in the shaded sido of the court whero tho fountain splashes and tho roses bloom; where the deft nnd graceful Lydian girl fans her with a Phor-iiciuii fan and the tamo thrush sings from the laurel boughs, which ore Its home, and where the peacock, about which so much slander hns gone forth, suns itself on tho wall, brought from Its own artificial little island to delight her with its beauty. Grouped about nro Socrates and his friends, disputing as usual on virtue and the gods, the soul, beauty nud love. Pericles looks ather, his eyes full of man's deepest passion; and Aleibindes, too young yet to be a dangerous rival, sits near hor, indulging in dreams which mako him a willing one 'An Odd Custom in Athens, A traveler meets with many customs In strange countries, which commend themselves by their inquiries, but one in Athens gives to modern Greece a reputation she never enjoyed in her palmiest days. The Greeks are notorious for their unreliability, and they break promises with perfect disregard, knowing how easy it Is to make another. Liveryjstublo keepers nre no worse than other classes, but in this instnnee we have to do with them. While in Athens we were anxious to tako a drive; and to be ■ure of a carriage at the appointed time we went the evening before to headquarters and left our order, at the same time im* pressing the proprietor with the importance of prompt iicks. The next morning we were ready at the hour, but no carriage had arrived. We waited an hour nnd stilt no ear- riagt, and then we appealed to a friend, who had lived a long time In Athens, tet'ln.**-; him bow we hnd left our order tho 11,-nt before, lie asked if we had duiii-nm. il a forfeit ot tlie proprietor, and with miieli surprise we told him wo had not. lie 1 hen informed us that It wai customary wt.eti ordering a carriage, to insure thu order being met, to require a forfeit of from i.i to $5 from tho owner, as a reminder to hlm that he hnd a contract to ful'lll. It was n method of business so entirely new to up that we could scarcely believe it possible, bnt we concluded to try it, and Went nil on a ueond hunt for a vehicle, This time we demanded our forfeit, and it wus given us Without hesitation, aud promptly at thu hour lot the carriage was ready for us and we took our drive. In paving for It the forfeit was included in the bill, and the entire trnusuction went off as if thnt wore the only proper way to do business, and wc wero very unbusinesslike persjns to have thought otherwise. It goes without snyinij that the Greeks have, much more contj. dence in strangers than is common inoiiier countries, for all we gave for our forfeit wai a form of receipt, valuable only as a louvenir, in case we desired to run away with the money. the Gardens of Cgypt* At the beginning of March the gardens ef Egypt nre rcnlly wonderful; the orange ■nd lemon trees spread their most pungent odor; the rose trees arc covered with innumerable flowers; the palms, with their Sean and whito crowns, swing there in e wind; the oleanders there border tho avenues; on the lawns anemones, .11111 mil and perpetual flowering pinks, chrysauthe- mxuns, violets, zinnias, periwinkles, snap, dragons, mignonette, pausies, and petunias blend thoir innumerable colors with tlie Sreeu of tho trees, bushes, and' shrubs, roup! of bamboos lift here und thore their long green or golden stems, drowned with nnimmense pltimo ot pretty little trembling leaves.

Pureuant to promise yesterday, we print below tho suggestions of cannery representatives re amended fisheries regulations. Theae suggestions were made on a draft uf proposed fishery regulatiuns drawn up by t.ho department at Ottawa, and submitted in tlie first place by Mr. Mowat, inspector of iisliorics, to a meeting of the Salmon Packers Association of Fraser River, held at this city on tho 8th of November last. The draft referred to has been substantially embodied in the new fishery regulations published yesterday, so that the figures below may bo taken as referring to the different sections of that document: Section 1, which we will not repeat, as it may be found in yesterday's Co* LL-MBiAJT, was approved by the Fraser River packers. 2, That section 2 bo amended to read, "Meshes of drift-nets used for capturing salmon ahall be not less than 5| inches in extension: Provided always that the minister of marine and fisheries may order a larger mesh to be used at such times and places as mny be necessary fur the proper protection of the fisheries." 3. That section 3 be amended to read, "Drifting with salmon iietsslii.il bo confined to tidal waters, und drift- nuts shall not be fished so as tu obstruct mure than two-thirds of the width of any river." Section 4 uf tho draft was amended su as to rend, "Fishing for salmon shall bo discontinued from Saturday in-on till (I *** ui. Sunday," Section 5, substantially tho same as published yesterday, wns approved by the meeting. 6. It is also recommended that "No nets with meshes uf less extension than 7-j* inches be used on Fraser River between the 25th of August and the loth of September; and that there may be nn annual cluse season for rivers, throughout the province, from the 20th cf October till the 1st of February." This last section wns added by the Fraser Rivor salmon packers themselves, and in communicating the result of their deliberations tu Mr. Mowat, fisheries inspector, they subjoined the following amplification: You will observe that our association is fully in accord with the general tenor of the proposed regulations of the fishery department and has only recommended the making of a few minor alterations, the propriety of which we believe will be suggested to you as soun as they nro brought tu your notice. To recapitulate, uur recommendations in brief are: 1st. That in section 2 uf the draft of proposed fishery regulations the words "fivo and three quarter inches" be substituted for tho words "six inches" ns the least extension size ot mesli in drift nets to be used for capturing salmon. It may be well to remind the fishery department thnt our salmon are variable in size, averaging much smaller somo years than others, and that while a six inch mesh may catch well occasionally, at other limes it has been found quite too largo for satisfactory results. 2nd. That in section 3 the words "more than two-thirds" be substituted for the words "one-third." 3rd, Refetring to sectiun 4 of the propused fishery regulations our association recommends that the weekly close time remain as at present from Saturday noon till 6 p. m. Sunday. To increase this time would be equally vexatious to salmon packers and fishermen. The loss of fish to the furmer, nnd of timo to the latter by a longer enforced idleness wuuld largely diminish the profits of both parties. It must be remembered nlso that the period uf idleness every week is a season of temptation to the fishermen, and while there are many honorable exceptions great numbers spend the close time in gambling and drunkenness, which, in addition to the injury dono tu themselves, is a source of great loss to the canners, as the men are often incapable of resuming work for several days after theso times uf debauchery. It is believed a better protection will be given tho salmon by providing, aa stated in clause 6 above, that no nets with less than 7£ inch meshes shall be used from the* 25th of August to the 15th of September, as this will enable all sockeyes then going up the river to reach their spawning grounds without hindrance. A further protection to tho salmon is suggested in the conclusion of the aamo clause by having a close season from the 20th of October till the 1st of February. The association while making the above recommendations wish it to be understood thnt thoy refer only to Fraser River, It is quite possible that different regulatiuns would be more suitable for other wntors in the province. Respectfully yours, E. A. Wadham, Sec. At a meeting held nt the Board uf Trade rooms, Victoria, on tho 27th of Novembor last, at which the Gibing interests of the whole province wero represented, in addition to those of tho Fraser River, the inspector of fish* cries alio being present, the draft from Ottawa was considered, aud also the recommendations on that document of the Salmon Packers Association of Fraser River, and tho action of tho Fruer River packers approved and adopted, without amendment. Subsequently, as stated yesterday, tho Viotoria Board of Trade und the Westminster Board of Trade npproved of the notion of the canners and packers and seconded their suggestions fur the proposed new fisheries regulations, and recommendations from the various bodies mentioned have been forwnided to Ottawa accordingly. It will be noticed thnt the order-in-ooiincil published yesterday was dated the 2flth of November, so that the suggestions and recommendations from this province could not have been considered prior to issuing tho new regulations, and some modifications may,therefore, ONCE AGAIN Thn Ratepayers of Westmhistrr Meet and Signify tholr Approval of fhe Southern Railway Project. A Pleasant Meeting- at Which Discussion in Fair and a Way is Found to Insure the Railway. Last night some 500 citizens and ratepayers of Westminster gathered at tho Drill Shed iu response to a call of the mayor for a public meeting to discuss railway matters. Tho meeting was conspicuously different from any previously held in connection with railway matters, and a most urdoriy and dignified course uf proceeding was observed throughout. Mayor Dickinson was elected to the chair aud Cut. McGregor wus chosen to net as secretary. His worship explained that ttie meeting had been called to aee whether or not the Southern Railway was tu be built to Westminster, Ono thing, he said, was certain: the Southern would not come to Westminster unless substantial action was taken by tho meet* ing. Ho hoped no hard words would bo used and invited free discussion of thu subject in hand. Mr. Thos. Cunningham wus called on and touk the platform. He had hoped after the last mooting that nothing further would be necessary in connection with railway matters, but though publio opinion spoke plainly on that occasion other influences had been at work and now another stop was necessary. The city had been trying for 7 years to get connection with the American railway system and that connection must bu obtained. Fow seemed to know tbo value of railroads. The C.P.R. branch lino to West minster was opposed by mnny, but see of what immense value it has been, Westminster had no controversy with the O.P.R. and wanted nunc, but we must have an alternative route and connection with the south. As a member uf the board of trade he had worked hard in tho interests of the city, and it was in these interests that arrangements had been made whereby tbe Southern Railway Co. was formed. The Railway Company had entered into agreements with C. M. Sheafe & Uo. to build the read. Now it was said C. M. Sheafo & Co. were "men of straw." He was in a position to know that Mr. Oanfield was worth between 8350,000 and 8400,000; besides which Mr. Oanfield is married to a niece of President-Elect Harrison, which meant capital also. C. M. Sheafe & Co. took hold uf tho work immediately after; the passing of the bylaw and since then hnd expended in cash somo $05,* 000. All debts contracted had been regularly paid and no complaints hnd been heard in this direction. Some said thero was boodio in the scheme— ho did not believe there was 25 cent's worth of boodle in it. Some thought the $150,000 bonus would build the road to the boundary whilo in reality the estimated cost for that distance is $405,000. Speaking of boodling, he wanted to know if anyone would connect tho names uf Mr. Hendry, Mr. Ewen, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Trapp and such gentlemen with any dishonest scheme (applause nnd cries of nol no!) Mr. Cunningham here read the agreement between tho Southern Railway Company and 0. M. Sheafe & Co., which he considered au excellent ar* bo confidently louked for, rangoment and as fair and holiest as it lie PERSONAL. H. N. Rich, of Ladners, is in (he city. L.

In bonus- ing this road the city is safe nnd there need be not the slightest fenr or concern. Ho hnd personally gone over the whole affairs of the company and after minute inspection be had come to the conclusion that arrangements were all good nnd fair, and that the promoters of the road wero the truest friends Westminster had. So far the company had kept all its promises and he wondered if Westminster was going back on ita word (cries of no! no!) The great concessions in the shape of water lota and land aro not so vory important, as they revert to the city at the end of a term of years. Concluding, Mr. Cunningham said: "Now gentlemen it remains with you to say whether the Southern Railway is to come to New Westminster or go elsewhere. You haye got to say yes or no to-night and say it emphatically. The members of the Southern Railway company aro deeply pledged and it is necessary for them to protect their own Interests." (Great applause.) Mr, D. S. Curtis was next called on and spoke briofly and clearly to the point. He had nut, as was well known, swallowed all that hsd been said about tho road, but a few days ago ho had awukened to the fact thnt the city was in a very serious position regarding tho railroad. It wns thought that the injunctcrs were satisfied with Betting aside the trust but he had ascertained such was not the caso and they wero now holding another threat over our heads to work against the intorest of the railwny scheme when the next onward move is made. Con- tinuing Mr. Curtis said:—"I believe in my heart that the Southern Railway people are working directly in the interests of tho city. After giving the subject mature deliberation 1 find it impossible that tha oity cau lose one cent on tho agreements reached. Suppose Sheafo & Co. are "men of straw," as some peoplo say, and supposing after a certain amount of work is done iho contractors were unablo to finish it, what would be the result? The road as far as completed would becume the property of tho city nnd that without the loss of a cent. What would wo lose by that? in tho name of common sense what do wo want? Do wo want the road to be running in good order 99 years beforo paying the money over? Now, in order to ensure the Jju'ldingof the road and prevent further trouble wo havo got to go bondsmen individually thnt tho provisions of the agreement will be carried out." (Great applause), Mr, B. Douglas, president of the Southern Railway Co. took a seaton the platform amidst thunders of applause. - His worship asked anyone who j wished to question Mr. Douglas on railway matters to como forward aud do so. He believed the agreements to be a fair and square transaction, and said:—-"If nothing comes out of this mooting Now Westminster will be aet back for ten years and you know what that means, but if the people aro will- inir to give a bond that the money will be paid as per agreement that is all the oompany asks and they will be satisfied. A great many important matters aro at stake. If the road does not como to Westminster the Royal City Mills will probably be removed to some ether point and aome other important projects will be turned else* whore. Wo must fight for progression and not retrograde. We have an enterprising neighbor and muat work ac cordingly. I would like Mr. Higgins to come forward and toll some of the advantages the road will bring." (Ap- plnuso). Mr. iiiu'giiis—"When I came down the river to-day it was not for the purpose uf attending this meeting but tu make arrangements fur building a second mill. A year ago 1 sounded the channel and found 24 feet of water; now there is 2lH feet of water, and that gives ui what we .wanted, Westminster now offers eveiy facility ns a shipping port, but in order that it become such we must have the Southern Railway. I have tried- to help the city in every way and hnve succeeded in bringint? capital here. If the railroad is built 1 know of two inure mills which will be located at New Westminster." (Applause). His Wonhip asked what the meeting was going to do. (Ories of Railroad 1 Railroad !) There waa a proposition that the citizens give a bond that the bonus will be paid to the company when it has been earned. Mr. Jacques was loudly called for and after making a few remarks proposed the following bond to meet the occasion nnd ensure the building of the road: Know all men by these presents that we the undersigned, all residents of the city of New Westminster, in the province of British Columbia, and ratepayers of the said city are firmly held and severally bound unto the New Westminster Southern Railway Company, their successors ond assigns In the sums set opposite our names respectively, for which payment to be well and truly mode, we bind ourselves, our and each of our heirs, I executors and administrators firmly by these presents. Dated the twentieth day of December, A. D., 1888. Now the condition of this obligation is such that if the corporation of the city of New Westminster pay or cause to be paid to the said company, the sum of |150,000 voted by the **Steam Ferry Bylaw, 1888," and the "Workshops By-law, 1888," of the Bald city upon the completion of the work according to the terms of the said by-laws, then this obligation to be null and void, otherwise, to remain in full force and virtue. Provided, however, that if the amount of the said sums below written shall exceed in the aggregate the sum of (150,-; 000, then tho Bums to bo duo under this obligation shall be due pro-rata, so that the Baid aggregate shall not exceed the Baid sum of $160,000. Provided further that unless a majority of the ratepayers of tho said city shall sign thia obligation, that tho same shall bo void. Dated this twentieth day of December, A, D., 1S88. Tho mayor stated that if this bond was given it wuuld save tho city somo 84,000 or 95,000 in interost. Mr. Beors asked if it was tho intention to get a majority of the ratepayers to sign the bond.
