San Francisco, April 25.—The anxiety expressed in despatches us existing in the navy department about the safety of the Monouguhclii is not shared in by officers at Mare Island navy yard. School master Williams, late of Ibe" Vandalia. now on the receiving ship Independence, at Mare Island, says on the second day after the Alameda left Apia, from the deck of thfs steamer he distinctly saw two large vessels, evidently for Samoa, and one of them lie judges was the Monongnhela, the other he supposed was the merchant vessel which lelt San Francisco nearly two mouths ago with a mixed cargo of stores for the same destination. It may lie therefore considered almost certain that the Monongahala arrived at Apia a few days after the departure from there of the Alameda. Among the passengers of the steamer City of Rio Janeiro, from Hong Kong today was Lieut-General Gorden Cameron, commander of the British forces at Hong Kong, who is on his way *o England. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC BACK OUT. New York, April 25—The Northern Pacific Railway directors to-day withdrew from the agreement for a harmonious operation of roads on the Pacific northwest.

This is taken to mean that the Northern Pacific has severed its relations with the Villard interest and it is expected thst the hitter's representatives on the Northern Pacific board will retire from the proposition to operate tlie Wisconsin Central on a percentage of thc earnings, ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

San Francisco, April 25.—An evening ptqier savs that the reason why the trial trip of the cruiser Charleston has been so long delayed is because ot a very serious defect having been discovered in her machinery. It was found when the test was made the other day that the Charleston's air pipes did not create the desired and expected vacuum, instead of the vacuum being 28 inches it was only 10 inches. So now they are being slowlv and painfully adjusted. The official Union Iron Works cruiser builders, when spoken to regarding the publication, ie- fused to make any statement whatever. A man named Wolcott, who arrived from Colorado a few days ago was discovered to be afflicted with smallpox to-day and was removed to the pest-house. THE HURRICANE'S WORK. San Francisco, April 28—The ship John D. Peters is now ont 110 days from Newcastle, N. S. W„ coal laden for this city. The consignors have no hopes of ever receiving tidings from her, ns undoubtedly she is another of the victims of the hurricane, which devastated Samoa and was so destructive to the shipping in the South Pacific. Capt. T. P. H. White- law, the wrecker, has sent up a corps of divers, engineers and helpers to Yaquina Bav, and operations on the wrecked steamer of that name will begin at once.

We are pleased to note that n movement is on foot, having for its object the formation of a volunteer corps for Nanaimo. The idea is a good one and it should receive the hearty support of our citizens. Tlie warlike spirit is not so strong as in former days, neither is there the same need for the cultivation of it in these "piping times of peace," still there is a grand field for the formation of a volunteer corps in this city which would be a credit to the youtl i, the bone and sinew of the country. If must necessarily be the outcome of hard and indefatigable lalior, if such an institution is formed in Nanaimo. There are a few- points in our favor which might lie briefly mentioned. We have numbers of young men, the very flower of youth, who, when properly drilled, would form a most creditable corps, and one of which any city might feel proud. There is no reason why Nanaimo should not get to the front in this matter, and with a little united action we are assured that such a desirable consummation could be brought about. Time has lieen when this city was asked how many men she could forward for the defence of the country, and the answer sent hack on that ocas- siou waa not an uncertain one. We need such a military organization; our position is one which demands consideration at the hands of the Federal Government, and it is to be believed were the matter to be placed before them in a proper manner, they would respond to the necessity existing and provide u grant hy which the corps could be placed in a proper state of efficiency. Nanaimo occupies a commanding position on the Gulf, anil were there any difficulty with another.nation, she would be the first to feel the force of the hostile power, Action on the part of our citizens is in- dispensible in order to make the present movement a success. It needs the support of all classes, and that of the pulpit and the press. In connection with this we may say that the cultivation of athletic sports would be given an impetus, our young men having something »&..Iffi.JiyTeW,^ Hence great good would be done in that direction alone. The saloon or street Would not be the only place in which to wile away the hours, which hang heavily on their hands. A manly independence, a pride and love of the country and its institutions would also follow, and a healthy vigorous moral sentiment would be engendered. And last but not least, there would be planted the nucleus around which, might gather other attractions which would be of great and lasting good to all, who took a part in this object. Now is a good time to act. Procrastination being the thief of time, there is no opportunity like the present, tojset affairs in motion and bring about the consumation of this desirable organization. Our citizens will, we feel assured, give every encouragement towards the accomplishment of this object. Let some of them get to work and Bet the ball rolling and the end will be assured. were confiscated to the Slate. This is not tlie distinction between single tax men limited and single tax men unlimited. There is a school who would confine all taxation to real estate, that is to land and improvements; but these are not single tax men. A tux on real estate is a double tax, not n single tax. It is in part a land value tax, and iu part a labor tax—all that part which falls on the improvements being a tax on labor. The single tax man limited is one who believes in concentrating all taxation on the value of land as the best mode of collecting public revenues; while the single tax man unlimited is one who believes in concentrating all taxation on land values, not alone as the hest mode of collecting public revenues, but also as a means of destroying the monopoly of land which now prevents freedom of contract between employer and employee, and diverts to private use what is of right a common revenue. There is no dispute between the two classes of single tax men as to what shall be taxed. Steamer Is* "And how are ve fceliii' ter-day, Mr. O'RaH'crty?" "I niver felt so poorly in all me life.

The time in ripe, and the opportunity excellent and there are lots of material. Etiry day instances of cruelty to animals are apparent in this city, and no steps are taken whereby those Inflicting sruelty upon the dumb creation may be punished. There is the most urgent need for the formation ofa branch of the Society for the l'reven- tion of Cruelty to AnimalB in this city. Will not the pastors of the difl'erent churches take hold of this matter, and with the influence they could exert, a society might be formed. We are humanitarian aud the Courier will give what support it can towards tho formation of this society. Local government in England appears to be only in its infancy. The syslem just inaugurated is to he expanded as circumstances require. Mr. Ritchie speaking at Leicester a few days ago, in Unrated aa much in announcing that tlio bill for the creation of district councils would be taken up this year, while in the future it would be the aim of tbo government to extend the powers of county councils, in order to more and more decentralize the administration of tho country. The stogie tax question, which is coming into prominence, is occupying n considerable amount of attention from the press of the United States. An explanation of the single tax lias been going the rounds of the preBS, says the New York Standard, and it is an explanation that does not explain. It sayB: "It classes those who support the single tax into two divisions—single tax men limited and single tax men unlimited. The former, it is laid, would put all tax on land and its improvements, while the latter would not even tax improvements, but would tax land values alone until all land values Styles and Fits Warranted.

Be Hakes the Nerres of His SutJocU Bis Kajthtnga—A Ctrl Who Smiled an One fide of Her Faoo—Amusing Instruc- Professor Charcot, tha renewed specialist of diseases of tbe nervous system, perlorroej} tome striking experiments on hysterical subjects la the course ot a lecture delivered at the rjajpotriero asylum. About 200 students Were present. The attendants introduced Into the amphitheatre two women stretched on cots and perfectly unconscious. One was a pale faced $jn, with abundant black hair and a hand- cCme faco. As she lay helpless against tho whits pillow, her long lashes curving over fajt dosed eyas, sho suggested tbo sleeping bOguty. Her companion was a large woman, aWift fifty years of age, with coarse florid features. The contrast between tbem was Sets, distinguished specialist began byex- ng that tho two subjects before him in different stages of hysteria major, der woman was afflicted with paralysis of tbe legs, which had kept her in bed for years. Boo was at present in a profound hysterical sleep, which bad already lasted eighteen days, and from which human science knew no means of rousing her. She might remain In this condition for weeks or months, during which time sho would only receive In the way of food certain nutritive liquids, which she swallowed automatically. Professor Charcot here directed an attendant to administer somo milk to tho patient. This she did, and holding the glass with ono hand while she raised the woman's head with the other, she waited until the ontlre contents of tbo goblet had been slowly swallowed. Several times during tbe soanco the patent bent slowly and heavily forward with a swaying motion, for no apparent reason, as if to salute tho audience, and always accompanying the movement with a hoarse, inarticulate sound, somewhat liko tho snarl of a dog. there was something ghastly In this to one not hardened to dissecting room horrors. Various tests were made to demonstrate tbe impossibility of waking the woman. A largo brass gong was sounded with almost deafening din directly over her head. Her nostrils were tickled with a feather, and she was made to Inhale ammonia. Nothing bad the slightest effect. Her eyes remained closed, and she gave no sign of sensibility. Then the professor called attention to tbo remarkable condition of her muscular system. Ber arms would remain rigid In any position in which they were placed, nor would they leave It until sheer physical fatiguo overcame tbe automatio resistance. The joints of her fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulder! were moved In a variety of ways, and In every cose the poor woman was powerless to change their position. She was like a well made, wooden jointed doll. Next came tho turn of the lethargic girl, who is ono of Professor Charcot's pet subjects. She remains constantly In tbe hospital, and on speeial occasions tho savant demonstrates the wonderful power ho has over ber. So sensitive Is her temperament that he can at bis will throw her into the profound lethargy in which she lay on this occasion. Be first stated that this young woman was in a stago of hysteria radically different from that of her companion. Sho was like an inert mass; her musclos wero all relaxed and it wee impossible for any member of her body to retain a fixed position without support. There was also n marked difference In the condition of the nervous systems cf tho two women. The one was keenly sensitive, tho other apparently dead. In each case the professor pressed a poncil upon tho facial norvo, which lies directly in front of the ear. This had not tbo slightest effect upon the woman iu the hysterical sloop, whereas the face of the young girl instantly lighted up in a smile. Curiously onough, sho only smiled on the side where tho pressure was applied. It was the same with other nerves. The lethargic girl would raise hat hand when the operator pressed upon the radial nerve above the elbow joint when the mesial nerve, near tho former, was touched, her arm would spring up in t pugilistic attitude, with Vbe fit) tightly olenohsd, and on applying tbe penoil to what ia vulgarly known as the "fuihy bone" she would lift her arm as if pronouncing a benediction, tha first and second ftjpgers of the hand being raised kaaf eaward. Nothing of IBs sort had any •feet upon tho otbar subjoot. An experiment with the gong, wbioh bad bees, vainly Beaten above toa first patient, SoduoVl a startling effect In this case. The isf de Clliilrjtie had struek but a single Mow oa tne sounding brass when the young girl storMd up as by an eloctrlo shook. She sat straight up, with her eyelwide open, and bat for their fixed, stony gate one might havo fancied her awake. She had passed in as Instant from the state of lethargy Into that of catalepsy. She neither moved nsr spoke. Professor Charcot prooeoded. to show that pressure upon the nerves no longer produced muscular contraction. We were In the {Me- enco of a new sot of phenomena. The professor lifted tbe girl's right hand to her lips, as if she were throwing u kiss. Instantly the unconscious assoolatioo of ideas caused the right side of tbe face to smile. It was the same when tbe left buna was raised, sod when both hands touched her lips tba entire face radiated tha mind'a happy thought The young gentlemen present enjoyed this greatly. A frown was produced with equal facility. Clenching one of tho fists caused a scowl to pass over tho corresponding side of the face, and tbe professor succeeded by combining tbe two processes in making her smile oo ono side and crown on tho other. No one who saw this extraordinary oontortlon could for a moment question the genuineness of tha demonstration. Still mors extraordinary was the facility with wxdeh Professor Charcot made his patient pus bask bom catalepsy to lethargy. This be oodompUshcd by simply closing the lids andprssslng gently on one or both of her eyas. By. touching tho right eye he ohanged the girl's right side into the lethargio condition while leaving the left side under the influence of oetulopsy. Be demonstrated to the satisfaction of all that such -was really tbo esse.. Tho right aye was closed, while the left remained staring open. Tba nerves oa tho right side responded to pressure, whilo those on the left remained dead. One side of the body was rigid while the other was Inert. Through all this the patient never uttered a sound. Bavlng sufficiently established tho existence of this dual state the professor pressed simultaneously upon both of the girl's eyes, when she fell back on the pillow like a lump of load. The final experiment consisted in waking the lethargic girl This was easily dono by breathing sharply in her face. Hue started up, glanced about her in a dated way, and than realizing that sho wns only halt dressed before a crowd 'of Jovial medical students, she seized her scattered garments niul disappeared from tho scene with iwlnuishlnp; rapidity. The attendants wheeled cut thc other patient, who calmly continued hor hysterical sleep.— Paris Edition New York Herald. LITTLE WONDER CK1AB STORE AND TIIE MON Boor AM) SHOE HOUSE.

There Are Chose Who Ate ttesarred and Others Who Show their Lara. The plesaaptest things tbat oome to writers ere the letters from stringers, who know us only through our published thought*. They are frequently letters full of appreciation and sympathy, tAat cheer afjd wans our hearts and set us to sharpening our pencils to a finer point Strangers, did I say? It would have been better to have written acquaintances instead, for who knows us so well as a sympathetic reuderl Writers are often shy about expressing their thoughts by tbo tip of their tongues, but give tbem a pencil and a bit of paper and they can no moro help dropping a bit of their heart's blood on It than a bird can fly among flowers of spring and not sing a song to them. And that drop of heart's blood I how it widens and spreads, and what maglo antl magnetism thero is in Iti "Just so my heart has blod," writes somo one from a little town el. wo by, and "just so my heart has bled," writes another from a distant city, and "Just so my heart has bled," writes Some poor, !■■: "In: i soul with a pen that ts ignorant of thc rules of grammar and tho art of spelling, and all tho moru putuotio for it Ho tho sympathetic haters comft, proving always that one touch of nature makes all of us a little bit akin.

"I shall not try," I answered languidly, "life Is too short and your brain is too narrow." Sho cut mo tlead tho nost timo sho met ma on the street, and 1 was glad of it.

I shall never bo obliged to shako it again, its owner, asit were, having shaken me] There- is a saying that "it is better to have tho good will than tho ill will of even a dog," hut it is not a saying of mine. It is a posi- livo luxury to me to feel that certain peoplo dislike mo as heartily as I dislike them. There is a flavor about it, and I Uko a flavor in dislike as well as iu love. If nil of us would come square out in our likes and dislikes I bcllove tbe world would bo happier for it. Such an honest arrangement would certainly save us from much boredomo and from a few big lies and many littlo ones; and save us too from the pain of misunderstanding and doubting the friendship of our friends. Give me an enemy with a flaming torch in his hand and I will move out of my straw bouso Into a bouse of brick.

The Jumping mouse, If ono may believe a writer bi Korost and Stream, can he made a delightful pet. Ho Is a great Jumper, and in leaping takes a course, in zigzags, clearing two or three yards at a time, springing with Its bind feet, but landing on its fore feet at each bound. Audubon says that it is certainly the most agile of animals in the entire world's fauna. Fanners sometimes plow it up In their wheat fields, whon it makes off in magnificent leaps. It feeds on grain and various kinds of seeds, but rarely does muoh damage. Strictly nocturnal in its habits, it may be found haunting either the woods or the open cultivated fields.

TON COAL CO. * READING FOR RESV. 1.(recti or the ileatfal Hook—The Ueej. if Studies to Be Considered Work. Nothing is more restful to the mind than a wisely selected work of travels, description or a. judiciously selected romance. The romances most common are too weak, and their wit sinks too near to the line of silli- ness, to offer much repose to a person familiar with the best writers, and tho effect of such productions is to deprave the tasto 01 to excite irritation. A restful book to a I it-e< I brain must produce In the mind of the reader a sense of satisfaction with moderate stimulus. A tamo moral essay, a story iu winch all behave well, go to sleep every night at 0 and rise every morning at 5 to listen to the birds sing, will not suffice; and, on tho other hand, a narrative that requires tho closest analysis, and which appears to be constructcl upon tbe principle of leaving tbe readers in doubt as to the character of the heroes, is hut a piece of intellectual dissection in dis* guise, and would better be read for work than for rest. Everything that relates to history, science, philosophy and the deeper studies of human nature should be bandied as work. Yet nature rewards the worker by making In the end what at first was difficult, a charm to him. So that tbe speoialist must be upon his guard lest he neglect the work of reading what he knows he needs for the more congenial occupation of reading what to others would be work, bat to him has become pleasure. Tho life of Charles Darwin, just published, shows that ho brought on a pine tidal "atrophy of tho brain," utterly changed his tastes, and became the slave of lines of association to which he had surrendered himself wholly. What is work for one person may be rest for another; and it is equally important to consider that what may bo work for a person at ono time may bo rest at another. Newspapers require no work, and ho who reads them exclusively will in a few years he unable to do Intellectual work. Many books of a literary character require little or 110 work. Books made to oell belong generally to the class tbat can bo read as fust as the eye can discern the letters. Every person should select his standard authors without regard to their popularity. It is rare that a really good book, to bo mastered hy work, has a large sale. Restful books, from their very nature, may boeeme popular, except among those who make utility their god and restrict tho definition of utility to what con be turned to practical use, or has a technical or commercial value, and those whose Intellects are so small and sensibilities so abnormally large that they need exhausting excitement to hallucinate them into tbo belief that they ore happy.—Rev. J. M. Buckley in The Chautauquan. OTXPtORED LANDS. WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD. PARTS OF THE WORLD YET UN- VISITED BY TRAVELERS. Holloway's Pills & Ointment As Bail v*» a Man. Did you over encounter a demonstratively drunken woman in a street conveyance, where you could not relievo yourself of her presence within a certain time without Inconvenience £ I did, the other day—or rather the other night, for I was on my way to a down town theatre. She was a young woman—perhaps 25. Her dress was neat enough, but tawdry, and she carried a pretty babe ih her arms, which could not havo been more than 6 mouths old. The car was well filled, but not so well as she was. Suddenly she removed a stony stare from a fat man in the corner, and endeavored to look out of tho window behind her, maintain the upright and hold the baby simultaneously. "Won'er where we arei"' she said aloud. "Guess we'll be late homo, baby. Oo you hear, mamma's pot. Who cares I Hoop la. Everything goes—don't it, baby, hey?" Three or four whisky laden kisses here attested the mother's affection. The ladies present shuddered, the gentlemen scowled, and the young man who was smoking a bad cigar on the rear platform grinned, while a newsboy engaged in stealing a ride peered through the glass and tried to flirt with the infant. For a few moments the exhilarated female seemed lost in thought, during which time the little one was only saved from a descent to the floor by a kindly disposed neighbor. Then she made a sudden dive for her pocket. "Hullo—ain't got my night key. I say, baby, whatyou think o' thatf We've lost tho key. Well, everything goes, and I suppose we've got to make a racket to get tn. Whoop I It's all right any ho w-ain't it, baby. Say, conductor" Hero she glared at the man with a bad j.gar, and he stopped grinning and looked another way. "Hullo, this Is a bobtail. No conductor on bobtail. Forgotall'twutthat-ha! ha! Well, that's funny, too, ain't it, baby. But everything goes, so'a all right. Whoop I Say, mister, w here's Houston street—I wanter get off at Houston street. This is—that's all right Come along, baby. Won'er where that key's gone, anyhow? 'Souse- mo." Hero she nearly sat down on the fat man. Tho ladies present drew back as she paused them, and tho men looked the other way. The man with the bad cigar said: "Where yer getttn'to—brace up," when she staggered against him and nearly dropped the baby. Tho newsboy got off tho step, seised ber arm, piloted her to tho curb, whistled at tbe baby and waited for the next car.—"Clara Belle" in Now Orleans Times-Democrat. The Guide and tbe Grluliei. While I believe that a grizzly bear will, in a majority of cases, wait for a fight with a man, and take pains to get in the way of one, there are times when it will seem to think better of it and back out. A remarkable instance of this kind I heard of once, where a famous Manitoba guide courageously advanced upon throe grizzlies, an old she ono and two half grown young bears, and by a series of ridiculous monkey shines and acrobatic maneuvers on the ground within a rod or two of the bears filled thorn with such astonishment and apparent fear that the tbreo retreated Into the woods with all rapidity. The guide's gun had snapped in both barrels, he having drawn on the old bear before tho young ones appeared. He afterward Bald that it was a fit of desporation that ho tried the turning of a handspring, and jumping up and down, flopping his hands, and resorting to other unhunterliku measures. Ha had been told once that a hunter had frightened & mountain Hon away by similar absurd movements, and he found that it worked to perfection in tho cose of the bears, although he d.d not encourage any one to go hunting grizzlies armed with nothing more than a capacity to turn somersaults.—New York Sun. Asiatic Tribes Whose Land la Aim oat a Seali-fl Hook to the White Man—Sahara Lands — South America — The Polar Region*. It is likely that within tho next twenty or thirty yean all the areas that are still wholly unknown, except perhaps within the polar circles, will have yielded their secrete to daring explorers. Inhospitable tribes now rear more barriers than nature does to retard the progress of discovery. While geographers have for years disputed over tbo conundrum whether tho greut Banoo river of Thibet i« the headquarters of the Urahmaputra or of tho Irruwadi rivers, the fierce little Mishiui tribe has guarded tbe secret, killed the adventurers who dared to Intrude amoug their mountains and left tho geographers to wrangle. It was only last year that their country was crossed at last, and it is now evident that tho Brahmaputra is a thousand miles longer than some authorities admitted. A littlo northeast of India is Kufiristuu, whoso lovely valleys are densely peopled by tribes that are physically umong the band- ' somest of Asiatics. Their country is almost a sealed book to us, for only ono white man, Mr. McNair, has succeeded iu crossing their threshold. About four yearn ago, staining bis skin with walnut juice and in theguisoof an Indian doctor, he pushed somo way iuto tho country until the suspicious natives became so inquisitive that lie thought it prudent to retreat. No scientific traveler hus ever reached Lhasa, the capitul of Thibet ! aud tho Rome of tbe Buddhists, or penetrated far into southern Thibet, though many notable attempts have been made. Recently \ Prejevalsky has tried twice in vain to reach i Lhasa, and last year Mr. McCauley, after | elaborate preparations and after he had | spent a year iu getting tho permission of the I Chinese and Thibetan authorities to visit j Lhasa, was finally turned back before he had ; crossed the frontier. The only reason that I tho southern half of Thibet aud a large part , of Napuul aud the Himalayas arc not u white ! space or a mere jumble ou our maps, is that j native Indians have been trained to tho | work of exploration by the Indian survey i and sent north to travel as mendicants or j merchants. They can rarely carry with I them scientific instruments larger than a compass, and their work, though very valu- I able, is far from being thorough and satisfactory. So fearful is tho Indian survey that the real business of its native explorers will be discovered that their own friends do not know where they aro sent, and their names are not connected with their explorations until after thoy have retired from uc- ! tivo service. ! Similar impediments embarrass the trav- j eler In all parts of Mohammedan Africa. j Grandly as Bartb, Hohlfs, Nuchtigal, Lenz and a half dozen others have served tlie I cause of geography in the Sahara desert, our khowledge of that mountainous and elevated region is anything but thorough and udu- uuiite. He truly tukes his life in his hand who ventures umong the Tuaregs and other fierce nomads of the (Sahara. Unless he can tulk Arabic like a native, and can skillfully assume tho guise of a Mohammedan, he is al- nlast certain to meet the fate of Mile. Turns and Lieut. Falat. Dr. Krause, wishing to ; enroll his name among the half dozen white j men who have reached Timbuotoo, attempted ; tr attain tho town from tho south. When : within 100 miles of bis goal he was stupjied \ und bluntly informed that he might go on i to tho holy city if he would become a Mo- i iiummcdan. More scrupulous than somo other explorers ho declined to become u dis- ! ciplo of the Prophet, and was therefore compelled to turn back. I The great basin of tihe Congo has been more prolific of geographical surprises within tbe past five years than any other part of tho world in this century. And yet the work i thero has only begun. In this vast area there has been very little exploration except along the water courses, and even the river banks have for tho most part received only a cursory and preliminary survey. Wiss- muiin Is now crossing tho continent from sea to sea, across the southern part of the Congo basin; Kund and Tappeubeck havo made a short journoy overland from river to river, but generally speaking the vast regions between the rivers are still almost wholly unknown. It Is not difficult to see one good reason why South America has been comparatively neglected by travelers, while, on the other bund, Africa has been running over with them. Neither oommerco, science, nor missionary ardor have seen in South America the same promise of rich rewards that have allured them to the uplands of inner Africa. Still such journeys as Dr. Von Stoinen and his comrades recently made on the great Xiugu tributary of the Amazon, when they discovered curious and wholly unknown tribes and other things of much interest, show that these regions are a fine field for thu explorer. The Brazilians know less of a large part uf their empire than they might easily learn of Nova Zambia, and in Ecuador and some othor states Whymper and other travelers ! say that tbe government maps are hopeless I y | inaccurate. The best and most interesting explorations in South America aro now carried oo by the Argentine Republic. Among their pampas and cordilleras, iu tho valleys of Patagonia and on the grassy plains of Terra del Fuego, these researches, now hi full progross, have been prolific of geographical sensation. Good, honest exploration up sets hundreds of theories and fanciful stories that have come to be accepted facts. It is In the lofty regions of inner Asia that tlm greatest works of discovery still remain to bu achieved. The Russian explorers aro among tho best trained and most competent travelers in the world, and thoir government it. today doing far more than any other nu tion to promote geographical discoveries. The Antarctic regions will probably bo the next field of polar Inquiry, and no.no steps Ui this ond have been tal.on both iu Great Britain aud Australia. As the south polar region is not, liko tho Arctic zone, crowded wilh islands and urchipelagoes, it is of muck moro importance In the study of ocean currents. BtrnngO as it may seem, tho Pacific ocean is Mill far from well known.

The sea lions which congregate off the mouth ol the Columbia River to feast on the salmon, are the greatest nuisance the fishermen have to encounter. On Monday1 last, When one ef the lish traps at the moutn of the river was opened, eleven large sea lions were found inside, nntl the heads of thirty-four fine salmon, showing tbat the sea lions had breakfasted on $42:50 worth of fish— Colonist. Misleading. Dr" Bredemeyer states in nn interview with a World reporter that thc only development work done on Texada Island is.by the Blue Bell MiniugCo., and the Vancouver Prospecting Co.

The Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, is the largest Life Insurance Company in the world. Mr. Reiil, General Solicitor for tho Company, is now in Nanaimo, and he has been doing a land olliee business. This Company needs no recommendation. AROUND TOWN, A walk around the city reveals the fact that despite the present temporary depression improvements ol" various "kinds are being Inaugurated; The streets are receiving numerous repairs; new sidewalks are being laid, and new buildings of a substantial kind are going up on every side. While our merchants Complain somewhat of Ihe present dullness, there is still a healthy and buoyant feeling, ami all consider that the business prospects of the future are good. A few months time will make n great difference in business of all kinds in the Black Diamond citv. Rome wasn't built in a day, and Nanaimo will require many days before she will be a Rome. Soine'of the sidewalks especially about Victoria Crescent would be the better for some repairs, In their present condition they are somewhat uncertain ami exceedingly shaky. A (.olden Crown. Ut, Peter—"Where are you from?" "From Nanaimo." "What was your business?" "I was an editor." •'Did you ever give lips nn a sporting paper?" fiNo." "Did you ever write an advertisement puff?" "Believe me, no." "Did you ever refuse tn return rejected manuscript?" "Never, I was always most careful about that." "All right. What size crown do yon take?" The Downward Path. Judge Patrick G. Duffy, ot Toronto, the well-known police magistrate, has been making some philosophical ami moral observations on thc descent of woman—meaning, of course, woman ns she reveals herself in the Police Court. "Do you know," he saitl, "what is the principle thing that brings women into this court? It is love of dress. There are men with money constantly on the lookout for such women," continued the Judge, "and the result is thc oft-told tale For a time the woman has fine clothes, diamonds and wine suppers. It is very fine, but it doesn't last. From wine the woman drops to whiskey; from whiskey to beer—but what is the use of going any further? The rest ran be imagined. We need a branch of the S. P, C. A. A case ill point. On Sunday last a cow was struck by a locomotive on tlio E. & N. R. R., near the East Wellington crossing. One of its legs wns broken and a horn torn off. The animal has been left In that suffering condition ever since, unable lo help itself. We protest against such an exhibition [of cruelty. Whei-cari! the humanitarians of Nannimo ? There are too many instances of cruelty to animals occurring every day which need remedying, nntl the best way to mitigate such cruelty is to form a branch of the S. P. C. A. ' Since writing tlie above we learn that the injured animal referred to, will, today, be put out of its misery. It's a long time though for a poor dumb boast to suffer before the "happy dispatch" being performed. What has become of Alderman Peck's ifliO.OOO loan by-law? Can the genial alderman explainjwhy something hasn't been beard of it? A sixty thousand dollar loan would be a pretty good thing for Manaimo if Alderman 1'eck, by exercising somo of his silver-tongued oratory, could induce the ratepayers lo pass it. But "there's the rub." Speaking of Aldermen leads me to say that Alderman Nightingale makes a very efficient chairman of the Street Committee. He is plain spoken and practical and looks after the streets with a fatherly eye. It's a pity he hail not more funds at his disposal. If he had they would lie wisely used. A false Statement. In the public meeting held on the 16th instant, reference was made to a statement made by a Mr. Joseph.of Sun Francisco, that he had not reeefved pay for badges aad caps furnished by him to the Nanaimo fire department. Mr. A. Rnper states that the statement was unqualifiedly false. Mr. Joseph agreed to furnish badges of « certain size for a specified sum.::The-Badges wore sent but were not of the size agreed upon, und the only delay in payment was caused by the act of Mr. Joseph himself in not fulfilling hta part of thc contract. On thnt gentlemen, refusing to do bo to save trouble, tbe amount due him waB remitted, and there tlie matter ended. Therefore, his statement to the effect that he had not received payment was false in every particular, ■a. Naaalmo's actuation. T. O'Connell returned yesterday from his trip down the line as far us Somenos. He had been hunting for the sneak thief, who robbed R. Evans of his valuables. Officer O'Connell is rather wroth that tbo fugitive was allowed to slip through the fingers of sonis of the residents of Chemainus district, who hail him bo to speak conralled.' He was asked if there was a warrant "issued for the arrest of the tile! and'in some.places the inhabitants oud not even know of the robbery O'Connell is most energetic in his endeavors to capture the runaway and stay ed out on the Victoria and Nannimo road satajfM is the hope of seeing bis mnn. -In an was seen on Wednesday night at tlie water tanlpnear Chemainus, and seemed in a very.dilapidated state.

Nanai- ' nas JrjrtjiJMtely does not often have an occurrence of this' kind snd we shall be very glad to hear that the efforts of our local poHce have been crowned with success^ thereby evil doers will be deterred in future. A colored case in the police court yesterday amused me somewhat. Judge Planta is wise and thoroughly magisterial. He is full of wise saws anil modern instances, and he is not a lover of law, but of peace, and many a good sermon falls unconsciously from his lips. His honeyed eloquence ditl not settle the dark case yesterday, however, nntl it will again occupy the attention of the worthy judge. It was an amusing Bight this afternoon lo see one of our most "potent, grave and reverend seigniors" making a frantic endeavor to catch his hat, which the wind luul lifted from his shinning pate. The hat is flotsam and jetsoin somewhere in the Gulf of Georgia antl my fat friend spoils a new tile. THE BLUE DANUBE. AN INTERESTING VOYAGE ON THE FAMOUS AND BEAUTIFUL RIVER. A Few or tho Towns TVhloh Stand on Its Banks—Historical Associations—Tha Volley Which Tfaa Ttoon the Scene of Many Cattle.. Tho Danube, is the second river tn Europe, having a length ot over 1,700 miles, it and Its tributaries draining n valley comprising an area of considerably over 800,000 square miles. A score of nations live along its banks aad tlio i the rivers which flow into its might; it, nntl nearly thirty tongues or dlalec; ..en between Itssouroe and its moutli -i a little to the north of Bwitz. in sigh top.o.' base th France.

It runs through a counti j ;ill of historic associations, t lio liattlo gtoi ml of civilization and savagery. liero tlio Hoir.aus contended with the ScytliInns and tho Huns; here the Greek empiro strove to maintain its supremacy over tho hordes of sarago tribes which CAffio down from tho steppes of Russia; here, after the empire of tho east bad faded away, Cbarlty nuigno contended with savage tribes of eemi- Asiatles; hero all Europe fought the Turks for generation after generation, until by a Seat battle fought under the walls of Vienna, o flood of the Mohammedan invasion was rolled back towards Asia. The route of tbe travelers lay past Ulm, once tho great Imperial free city, an 1 a fortress from the earliest times. Its magnificent cathedral, begun over 500 years ago, Is still unfinished, but oven incomplete ls oneot tho finest church buildings to be found In Europe. We need not, however, go back to tho foundation of the cathedral to find history made in and about Ulm, for in sight of tho cathedral towers Marshal Ney gained the great victory which gavo Napoleon absolute control over this part of Austria. The only rello of Vim's former strnteglo importance is seen in tho forts which still rise round the city and protect It against a possible f'lturo invasion, but tho victories now won at TJlm are those of commerce, for the pipes of Ulm aro famous all over Germany, and tbe reputation of tbo Ulmer bread has extended as far as that of tbo Wienerwurst. Past Neuberg went tho travelers, and Schonbuechel, and Durreusteln, the famous castle where Richard I was imprisoned, and where his faithful servant, after traversing tho whole of Europe, and visiting every castle of importance, in tho vain effort to discover his Imprisoned king, nt length found bim by singing under his window the old chanson which was tho favorite of Napoleon I, "0, Richard, 0 mon Roi," he singing one lino and the king answering with the next Past Passau they went, situated on the peninsula where tho Inn and the lis mix their waters with those of tho Danube. Liko Ulm, Passau has been a tort for untold ages, for here the Germans had a fortress before tho Romans Invaded tho land, and Fort Oborbaus, which crowns a mountain on tho loft bank of the Danube, was once a racdlmval castle, now remodeled into a modern fortification and forming one of the strongest c'ladels in South Europe. But Passau docs not rely altogether on the old Qberhaus castle for Its protection, for almost within tbe city ls the Nlederbaus castle, and a dozen other forts at various points in the neighborhood attest tbe value placed upon it by tha Austrian government. In truth, it ls a beautiful town, rising like an amphitheater on the peninsula, well built In the modern style, Its pubilo buildings, churches and palaces doing credit to the situation ou which they stand. Past In golstadt went tho travelers, a curious old town too big for tho number of people it contains, very much docoyed, and tearing oven to tho present day in Its bouses, dhurchca and public buildings ovidences of the destruction wrought there In tho year ISOO by tbo Frond army.

Rndello nn old enterprising resident of Comox, has plotted a town site aliout a quarter of a mile from the steamboat landing. He is erecting a number of houses, nntl his lots nre being sold rapidly. Mr. McPbee, one of our live business men has, also plotted an addition adjoining that of Mr. Rudello, anil he is putting the lols on the market. The merchants report trade fairly good, and Comox is expected to forge ahead in a surprising manner the present year, PEBS0HAL. all restored, and it is now among tbe best armed cities in Central Europe. The playing cords of Austria aro made bore, and some even exported to North Germany, but tbe queer old city derives tbo moat of its fame from the university, no longer there, but ages ago removed to Munich, and the university itself would bave been forgotten hundreds of years since had it not been for one Dr. Rbegius, a poot apd philosopher, known in tbe drama and opera as Dr. Faustus. His tomb stand- in ono of the churches, and his memory ban boon embalmed by the dramatists and librettists. Past Aggstein went they, where tho famous ghost has haunted tho castle for many generations. Like tho White Lady of Dublin, tho Aggsteiu ghost appears prior to tho death of one of tho family owning the castle, and wanders about its halls, shrieking and moaning in such a way as to strike terror Into tho hearts of all the survivors. Leaving tbe Aggsteiu castle aud specter, tho travelers went op post tho Strudel, a magnificent gorge in the Upper Danube, whero the stream, confined In a narrow channel between precipitous banks, doubles tbo velocity of its current and sweeps along with an overwhelming force botween two castle crowned hills, hoary with historic associations. Next comes Ratlsbon, In tho Bavarian province of Oborpfalz, at the mouth of the Ragen, the most medlreval city In Europe, for at ovory turn its temptors, moats, gates, drawbridges, crooked streets, overhanging houses, projecting whitlows, clusters of old fashlonod chimneys, doors with hugo knockers, lack of paving, narrow passways through which it is impossible for a vehicle to pass, dark passages under tbo houses, all remind one of cities of 000 years ago. Now gono to deoay, Ratlsbon wna once tho most nourishing oity of southern Germany. Its onthodral, begun In tho Elovonth century and finished less than 100 years ago, is one of tha finest specimens V>f Gothic architecture In tho world. Ratlsbon is noted for nothing but its antiquity, but It hns any quantity of that, and to spare. Tben into Hungary flows tho Danube, past Prosburg, tho former capital of Hungary after Buda-Pesth had been taken by the Turks. As old as Ratlsbon is Fresburg, but it does not show its ago so plainly; still one may hero rovol in tbe associations of tho past, for hero is tho cathedral where for hundreds of years the Hungarian kings were crowned and where the most of thorn lie burled. Here, too, ls the Hill of Coronation, made ol earth brought from every provinco of tbe empire, and after tbo ceremonies In tbe cathedral wero concluded, up this bill rode Maria Theresa, tho crown upon her bead, the orb of empiro in ono hand and the royal sword In tbe other, dnd pointing her weapon in turn to tbe four points of the compass, bade defiance to the whole world, for this was the practice of tbe Hungarian kings after their coronation.—Cor.
