He says : " I am proud of the services and glories of France. The Pope suffers with France's tribulations aod trembles at her perils. He studies with unceasing solicitude to penetrate all the phenomena of the republic's life. He wishes to see Fiance unittd under a rule free and strong, and capable of retakiug her plaoe in the front rank of the world. Hitherto France has been occupied in pursuing the mission of justice aud peace with which Providence visibly has endowed her. To obtain most rapidly the desirable fruits of this illusion, the Pope implores all French and all good citizens to cease weakening her powers by internal dissensions ; to discontinue their quarrels on political of secondary importance, to their sectional differences and unitedly for general harmony." questions give up to strive Probably Skipped.

From other sources the United Press correspondent learned that the situation is somewhat unsettled.

Influenza in London���Seventy Four Deaths Reported. London, Deo. 5.��� The Daily Newt, referring to the stories about the Bank of Eng. land, says: "The false and exaggerated gossip about that bauk soon falls away, wanting substance to rest on.

The Newt adds that to appoint a Government official for ths purpose of dictating to the directors, thus disencumbering them of responsibility, would be a mistake. "As now constituted," it says, "tbe bank may be a lumoenug old coach, but it is eminently safe which is the first necessity." A fans dispatch states that Mdlle.

San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 6 ���The Examiner's Washington correspondent telegraphs that he has succeedediu securing some inside information iu reference to the administration's plans iu dealing with the Hawaiian question. The purpose of President Cleveland and Secretary Gieaham now is not to restore the Queen by force, but to lay the entire quest.uu before Congress, snd seoure the sanction of that legislative branch before making any new move on the Islands.

Pauncefote Doesn't Know. Wasiiincton, Dec. 6.���The revival of the rumor to-day that Sir Julian Pauncefote, Minister to tbe United States from England was to be transferred to one of the European courts was the occasion of inquiry at the embassy of this city as to the truth of the story. The reply to the question was that Sir Julian knows nothing about it now. The post assigned to him by the latest report is that of ambassador to Turkey, which, by reasuu of the relations between that country and Egypt and the vast extent of British interest in tbe latter is one of the most important on tbe Britiah list.

The conference, now iu session, is presided over by Bithop Haygood. He decided that there was no law uuder which a preacher could resort to evangelistic work as a specialty, and that it Mr. Jones wanted an appointment he would have to fill it. The result was that Mr. Jones decided to sever his relations with the conference, and to resume his place in some church ss an ex-preacher. Resolutions of confidence in his Christian integrity were passed. Her Grace Trying to Foreclose, New York, Deo. 6 ���Lily W. Churchill,, the Duchesa of Marlborough, George W. Williams snd Jacob R.

UNORGANIZED LABOR IN VICTORIA A Council Appointed to Meet Tho Gof vemment In Company With Union Delegates. The City Ball at Victoria was crowded on Tuesday evening, in response to the advertised invitation for a meeting of all nonunion labor for the consideration of the advisability of forming a deputation representing the different branches of trade aud labor to wait upon the Government for information in reference to the working of ths bureau of labor statistics, and councils of conciliation and arbitration. Aid. Bragg took the chair. W. P. Winsby explained that his object in getting up the meeting was to re-unite organized and unorganized labor. Hod. Theodore Davie Ihen took the platform. The Premier said he would refrain from explaining the bill himself, as Hon. Col. Baker, who was the author of the measure, was present and could give a much better explanation. The Government bad been criticised in some of the newspapers for having singled out organized labor to attend at this conference, and thus ignored the workingmen who were not organized. This was a wrong assumption. Tbe intention of the Government waa to have an informal, friendly chat with members of the working classes. As the men who formed unions were the easiest to get at, the invitations were first sent out to them, but the intention was to afterwards confer with those not represented at the union conference. A letter from W. P. Winsby, secretary Court Northern L'ght No. 5935 A. 0. F., addressed to the deputy commissioner of labor statistics on the 29th November was read, asking permission to be present at the conference, aB a representative of the non-union laboring men who were members of the A. 0. F. In answer to this letter, tbe deputy commissioner wrote saying that tbe Government recogaized that a large portion of working- men were Dot represented through trades unions, and the executive expected to meet that class later to ascertain their views on the question; but the Government would he pleased to have a delegate from tbe A. 0. F. attend. This letter, said Mr. Davie, was written four days before the conference, and plainly stated that it was the intention of the Government to confer later on with those outside the unions. A further communication from Court Northern Light stated that W. P. Winsby had beeu appointed a delegate to represent the A. 0. F. at the conference. He wished to correct the statement that he had resisted the admission of reporters, and quoted the statement made by the representatives of the delegates, that, at bis (Mr. Davie's) suggestion, the reporters had been sent for when the meeting expressed a desire for the attendance of the press. He thought the public had not lost anything by the lact that the discussion, or rather the statements made after the resolutions were presented, had not been report ed, for these statements were not such, he thought, as would meet with general approval. It was declared, for instance, that it would be a good thing for the Government to adopt the resolutions, and that, if they were not adopted, the Government would be turned out. It did not take the executive long to decide upon their answer, for they recognized that ihey were not in office for the benefit of one class���that they were to employ their energies for the benefit of the masses, and, having this conviction, they were quite prepared to stand by it. In introducing the bill establishing the Bureau of Labor Statistics aod the Council of Arbitration aod Conciliation, the Government had no political design whatever, and aimed solely at the welfare of the workingman. Hon. Col. Baker gave a comprehensive explanation of the origin of the act under discussion, and of the steps taken since its passage to make its provisions known to those whom it was intended to serve, and to obtain their views upon it. He deplored the introduction of politics into the discussion of the measure, aod said that he was not altogether surprised that no good result had followed the recent conference when he found that the chief speaker there was a leader of the political Opposition iu the Legislature. B. H. West expressed satisfaction at the brief explanations of the act given by the Premier and Col, Baker. It was not the intention of this meeting to divide the labor interests, but he and many others like him who were from force of cireumBtanceB outside the pale of organized labor, believed that they had just as much right to be heard. Col. Baker entered into au explanation of the manner in which the labor statistics were to be gathered and the use to be made of them. As to tbe council of conciliation, it was intended to have represented in it every industry in the Province, and with that end in view he intended at the next session of the Legislature to introduce an amendment enlarging the' council to make this possible. He explained why the act did not make it compulsory to accept the result of the arbitrations, but as it would be next to impossible to compel either workingmen or employers to accept the decision of a board of arbitrators, it did not seem to be important what the act provided in that respect. Uuder the operation of such acts in England and elsewhere there had been a diminution of strikes, the worst evil of the workingman. He suggested that in the resolution about to be put there could be inserted a clause providing for the co-operation of organized labor as well. Arthur Duttoo explained the reason why organized labor demanded that they should have control of the collection of statistics in the cities. They wished to send the figures to Eastern Canada and the United States, so that people there would be fully posted as to the state of the labor market before coming out to settle. He favored the demaud that no alien labor should be allowed on government works, because no British subject would be permitted to work on government contracts in the United States. He contended that organized labor would never receive a benefit in this provinoe that unorganized labor would not share. He believed that the resolutions of the union labor conference were right, aud had in his possession documents which showed that the unions were going to stand by them. Temperance meu might just as well send distillers to Parliament as workingmen Bead " dudes and doctors aud lawyers" to make laws for them. The workingmen had only two representatives in tbe present Legislature ��� Mr. Keith and Mr. Forater from Nanaimo. The bill, if not administered by workingmen, would be of little benefit to them. If the returns were to be oompiled by representatives of the merchants, what was to prevent them from fixing them up to sttyt the merchant's interests only. If there was an honest workingman in charge, he would resign rather than carry out such instructions should he receive them, and would tell the public why he resigned. Mr. West, said that some remarks of the last speaker seemed to call for correction. He reminded this meeting that many of the best friends that labor ever bad, had been born aristocrats. Workingmen should take a man as they found bim, and according to what he endeavored to do for them, instead of rejecting his assistance because he belonged to any particular class in society. Hon. Mr. Davie took strong exception to some of the remarks made by Mr. Dutton. He had been suprised to hear his language respecting the members of the legislature, and the slighting way in which he had spoken of "dudes, doctors and lawyers." Aa to the "dudes," whatever they might be, Mr. Dutton might be right; but as to the doctors and the lawyers, each of them had in society a place just as useful as that filled by anyone, and there was not a workiogman in the audience who would uot be glad at some time to claim their services. "Wheu he says," continued Mr. Davie, "that all the virtue in the world is monopolized by the workingmen, or that they or any other class are lhe only honest men in the place, I say he is a demagogue. (Applause) He tells you that if a man belonging to any other class were appointed to compile the returns, he would falsify them, and he says that if a workingman were appointed to the office he would resign the billet if dissatisfied with the instructions of his chief. I want to know whether Arthur Dutl on, if he had a Bnug $100 or $125 a month, would be the first to hand in his resignation?" Mr. Davie reminded the meeting that al the opening of the labor conference the Government stated that it was the intention to apppoint to the bureau one man from the ranss of labor and possibly two, but tbey had been met with the demaud that the whole staff should be confined to that one class.. The Government of course could not grant any such demand. They were prepared to give organized labor fair play, but could not give them everything exclusively. Mr. Dutton inquired if it was not so that he had asked for a representative of the unorganized workingmen. Hon. Col. Baker said: "When Mr. Dutton came to my office the appointments were under consideration then���he assured me. 'You will have no difficulty with labor; it will be with the employers'. He was very friendly, and promised that he would always be glad to help in connection with the act. I asked him how I could get at some representative men amongst unorganized labor, and lie said, 'It is no use trying; you know they won't come.' I see to-night they will come," Col. Baker proceeded, looking at the great gathering before him. He believed it was at the instigation of Mr Dutton and of Mr. Keith, M. PP., that the labor union conference had presented a Bet of resolutions which they well knew no Government could adopt The question having been asked from the audience while Col. Baker was speaking, "What has the Govornment ever done for the workiugman?" Hon. Mr. Davie rose to reply, enumerating a number of measures in a forcible speech. In this he stated that he hoped to have au opportunity to satisfy his hearers as to the poricy aud performances of the Government. The chairman then put the resolution handed to him, which read as follows: "That in the opinion of this meeting of unorganized labor the act respecting the Bureau of Labor Statistics nnd Councils of Conciliation and Arbitration, if carried out would conduce to the interests of society generally; therefore be it resolved that a committee of five workingmen be appointed to confer with the Government and make such suggestions as they may deem necev saiy for the effectual carrying out of the act, said committee to consist of J. Croker, plasterer; W. J. Cleave, sealer; W. P. Winsby, cabinet maker; W. Harris, bricklayer, and W. Turnbull, fireman." Hod. Mr. Davie suggested that some representative of organized labor should be added, but Mr. Winsby explained that it was the intention that the committee named should confer with the union representatives so as to work in harmony with them. The chairman then put the resolution which waB carried on a show of hands. Noise Will Tell We have been for several reasons Making a Noise!!

The Interior,the great Presbyterian newspaper published in Chicago, 111., U. S. A., aays: "We are not so anxious to annex Canada aa we are to see some of her good ideas transplanted to this side of the border. Throughout the whole extent of her vast western dominions you will not find an outlaw, or hear of a case of lynching. It is not because she has to deal with a class of frontiersmen so different from those of our own western states, but because she has Uwb and executes them. You can go nowhere, not even in the fastnesses of the Rockies or the isolation of the Selkirks, without finrling the scarlet uniform, of her mounted police. You feel everywhere the presence of protecting law. You are made to realize that you are in a land of order, and that your person and property are under the care of the commonwealth, in too many of our own communities we are fast relapsing into that barbarism in whioh private revenge becomes the miserable substitute for public justice, In so far as we do this we are centuries behind our age." The November number of the Wes'ern World contains an ably-written article descriptive of Mr. Acton Burrows' reoent trip through British Columbia. Special mention is made of Nanaimo and its industries, particularly the collieries. The following extract from the paper will be interesting to all those who came in contact with Mr. Burrows while in Nanaimo: " The editor desires to take this opportunity of expressing his hearty appreciation of the great courtesy and kindness he received during his recent visit to British Columbia. On every hand he was afforded exceptional facilities for looking into the resources of the Province and forming accurate opinions of its capabilities. One of the most pleasant portions of the trip waa the visit to Nanaimo, where, through the kindly offices of Mr. Robins, superintendent of the New Vancouver Coal Company, he was enabled to make a most thorough inspection, both above and below ground, of that enterprising com psny's property."

Viotobu, Deo. 6.���Spec'a'.���The sensational Stroebel murder trir-l, transferred from New Westminster, was ��� pened at the Assizes here ibis m<'riling, and will probably not be concluded this week. A little difficulty presented itself when the esse was called heir, the original indictment having been list, and this necessitating the calling of a new grand jury. The evidence against Stroebel is purely circumstantial, but strong. The society of the Ancient Foresters is in a great commotion, owing to the fact that W. P. Winsby, the secretary of Court Northern Light recently attended the conference between tbe Government and labor representatives. One section of the Court shows this as an interference in politics and asserts tbat it is liable to cost the Court its charter; others stand by Winsby, maintaining that the interests of labor, not poliiical interests, took him to the meeting. The matter will be referred to tbe highest tribunal of the order. It's a Tough Road. Burlington, la., Dec. 6.���Engineers from this seotion who went to take the places of the strikers on the Lehigh road, are coming back. They say they went uoder a promise of $4.50 a day, hu* they got, only $3.25 for 14 hours' work. Many of them were put to tiring. They were U.^ed in depots, fed on poor food Mill given wire oots to sleep on. They say the rolling stook is in poor condition, there being uoaroely a good engineer on tbe system. They are willing to work almost anywhere, 1 hey say, but the Lehigh Valley was too much for them. ACHINESE PIRATES . Maltreating and Murdering Europeans- Latest News From Tonquln. Victobia, Dec. 6.���Latest advices by the SS. Victoria say that the depredations of the infamous company of cut throats known as the Achinese pirates, who received a partial check after their attack upon the station of the Chinese consul at Amry two months or more ago, have been resumed upon a more extensive scale thau Captain Kidd or Black- beard ever dreamed of. Emboldened by their successes upon ihe seas, the pirates are now trying their hand ashore, and the glittering promises of plunder they hold out Cave drawn many beneath their banner. Their organization also has its romantic side for the leader is an ex-officer of the Siamese army and his forces have lately been largely recruited by Siamese soldiery who, sworn to vengeance against the French in particular, are prepared to butcher all Europeans indiscriminately. Hence it is that all the Tonquin coast, as well as the island of Sumatra and the shipping frequenting the contiguous waters, are in a state of terror which is daily intensified by Ihe apparent inability of the Dutch authorities to deal with the enemies of order. The pirates could have been suppressed easily had a firm hand undertaken the work before their organization gained sympathy and consequent strength. Now the Dutch have a not informidable war upon their hands and are forced to the issuing of bulletins warning those wbo look to them for protec. ii n that they must protect themselves. Says the Tonquin Courier: , "All Europeans in Bade have been notified by the military authorities that exrteme caution'must be exercised in every direction. Work has been suspended on all roads, bridges, clearings etc, as everybody is afraid of being kidnapped by the terrible pirates. These people at .11 in the morning of October 12th made a raid upon the Yoshiwara, a mile out of the oity of Bade, presumably in tbe expectation of finding some few Europeans there to be oarried off, but they were disappointed. "The latest news is that the captors of M. Boyer have put him in the oangue��� a heavy block of wood which is locked around the neck and sets upon the shoulders���during the daytime-M. Roby has been tortured in order to hasten the payment of hia ransom. C. M. Fritz has written his friends for food as he has beeu given little or nothing to eat by the pirates." A later item in the same paper says: "It is rumored in Haiphong that M. Boyer has been murdered by his captors. An European i'ust arrived from Pulangthuong states that ioyer tried to escape but failed and was then tortured and hanged by tbe pirates. Following is a condensed statement of the latest incidents, taken from the Batavia Nieuw sblatt. Another post has been captured by the Dutch troops: Tuku Utnais has surrendered a deserter from one of the Dutch warships; a Chinese fort on the Surratte passage has been destroyed by artillery fire. The Tuku Umais allies no longer push the enemy hard, owing to dissensions about the distribution of plunder and supplies. A chief named Tung Chut has fallen out with his confiderates on this account and it seems that unless he shares in tbe dollars, thjs headman will turn upon his friends. The Chronicle's Comment. San Francisco, Dec. 6.���In its editorial oommenton the Hawaiian situation this morning the Chronicle says: "All that we can see and judge is that Mr. Willis has found that he cannot carry out his orders and is awaiting further instructions. But it was Mr. Cleveland's duty to have told Congress as much, and to have communicated ihe nature, if not the text, of his instructions and for his neglect in this regard he should be called to account.'' McKlnley and Alger Chummy. New York, Dec. 6.���A Times Cleveland, Ohio, epecial says: The coincidence of Governor McKinley and Governor Bussel A. Alger being here tocether during a good part of Thanksgiving week and dining and chumming together much of the time has eel afloat the rumor that the very interesting topio under discussion was the presidential nomination of 1896, and that the governor and Alger were considering the advisability of pooling their strength Wants Arbitration. New York, Dec. 6.���A cable from Lim says: The legation of Ecuador, as well a the consulates of that republic here and at Callao, have been closed, and the minister of Ecuador and tbe consul of Lima have taken refuge on board the British ship Hya- cinthe. Citizens of Ecuador now in the port are placed under German protection. Tbe determination of the frontier of Ecuador and Peru will be submitted to arbitration, Walter Jones & Co. T Wellington, B C 8-ll-rjm -and������_ SASH AND DOOR FACTORY Nothing New. Washington, Dec. 6.���No new developments in the Hawaiian situation were re] ported at the state department to-day. Senator Gray, who heads the supporters of the administration in the Hawaiian policy in the Senate, has had a long conference with Gresham. In the House Grosvenor offered a resolution giving the names of Ohio pensioners dropped from the rolls, and asking for the reason and other informntion from the secretary of the interior. A.

The interior of the new Presbyterian church is rapidly approaching completion, the seats being now placed in position. The building it is expected will be ready for the opening ceremony by Christmas.

A gentleman yesterday asked the Teleoram who is responsible for the disgraceful Btats of the crossing between thit offioe and the law office of Messrs Simpson k Simpson. Probably the genial chairman of the Board of Worka could furnish the information. The Strike Settled. Bethlehem, Pa., Dec. 6.���The Lehigh Valley railroad strike has been settled and correspondence between president Wilbur and theatate board of arbitration whichaettlsd the difficulty is published. The state board of arbitration in communication wiih president Wilbur promised to terminate the strike at once if the company agreed to take back ss many of the old men as thsy had places for without prejudice, ao aa to divide available tims among those omployed in such manner as to make them feel they were in the service of the oompany and self supporting; to make no distinction in future promotiona between those now employed in the service and those re-employed, and confirm the rule posted by Voorhees on Aug, 7th last. In his answer Wilbur agrees to the propositions of the board and promises to abide by them in case the strike is declared off. Making Reasonable Progress. WASHINGTON, Deo. 6.���The annual report of attorney-general Olney statea with gratification that the Supreme Court ia making reasonable progress in overcoming the arrears of business. Two cases of the greatest consequence to the Government have been decided by the Supreme Court during the .past year. What ia known aa the Chineae exoluaion case brought into debate the quei- tion of the constitutional law. The second of uo less gravity and far reaching results is dependent upon its determination. The attorney-general says the comparatively small number of French solicitation oases disposed of during the last year is explained by the failure of Congress to appropriate for the payments already rendered on the subject. Protesting Against Official Frauds. N��w York, Dec. 6.���A Herald's Montevideo cable says: There was a civic demonstration this afternoon to protest against, the official frauds at the recent election. While the government was denounced there were no disorderly outbreaks. Border Squabbles. San Salvador, Dec. 6.���Several skirmishes between Nicaraguan and Honduran troops are reported from the outposts with losses in killed and wounded.

ASSIZES. His Lordship Justice Crease Criticizes tne New Criminal Code. The Assize Court resumtd yesterday morning at ten o'clock when the Chinaman Joe Shuck was placed in the box charged with stealing about seven ounces of gold dust from one Jim J. May. Ah Fung bunq called as au intrepreter, after burning the customary paper, proceeded to question the prisoner. The prisoner being arraigned pleaded not guilty. George Kenney being sworn, said: Am a miner; live iu the Cassiar district. Am a justice of the peace. I know the defendant, saw him working on the Discovery claim belonging to James Jasper May or the Discovery Company; saw him about six o'clock ou that day. I own the Skeena Company claim. Prisoner was standing in the sluice boxes with a gold pan in his hand. Auother Chinaman was working with him, but below him; he was sweeping the dust. Saw prisoner look around the locality towards the oabins; seeing no person watching him he drew the pan in his hand, containing gold dust, around to the right hand pocket in his overalls and look therefrom a handful of gold dust and placed it in his pocket. Mr. May) and two other men were Btanding further down the stream looking into the box, their heads hent down. I saw Logan, one of the men, and told him to tell May Joe Shuck had gold in his pocket, as it was about time to finish work. May, Logan, the prisoner, the other Chinaman and I went down toward the cabin in which the Chinamen lived. I told May the prisoner had the gold dust in his pocket. 1 detained the prisoner and asked him for the gold. I told Logan to empty the Chinaman's pocket into a pan which another Chinaman had brought. Logan emptied the pocket; I held the pan. Not more than ten minutes would elapse from the time I saw the prisoner take the gold until we recovered it When the gold was weighed there was found to be nearly eight ounces, valued at abont (125 at the mine. I left them, and told May and Logan to take charge of the gold. I recognize some of the pieces produced as those found upon the prisoner. Logan - brought the prisoner up to my cabin. I put him in charge of the prisoner, whom he locked up for the night in a store-room, it being Saturday night. Nothing more was done until Monday morning, when the prisoner was brought before me charged with stealing the gold, aud I committed him for trial. Mr. Barker, counsel for the prisoner, objected to the depositions taken before the justice of the peace at Tom Creek. The objection was sustained. To Mr. Barker���One man was working with the prisoner, but three others were lower down the creek. May and Logan were about 25 or 30 feet from the prisoner Have known the Chinaman for three or four years. Have heard that the company owed the prisoner money. Never heard May tell the prisoner to pay himself out of the gold. This being all the evidence presented, counsel addressed the court. The judge found tbe prisoner guilty of larceny. The prisoners Robinson, Welch, Bradley ���nd Sweetman tried on Tuesday, were then charged with stealing twelve coats from the Pioneer Co-operative Society in Nanaimo. The prisoners were not represented by eounsel. Several Indians were examined, testifying to the prisoners having brought the coats to their camps for sale. Mr. Powers, manager of the store, identified the goods produced as belonging to the society. Dr. Stuart Macdonald, being sworn, deposed as follows: Recognize the prisoners; saw Robinson in my store on Haliburton street on the 14th day of November. He handed me a card now produced from an eastern house. I told him I did not want anything in his line. I saw the other three outside. 1 knew Sweetman; he aim into my store the day before and pocketed a bottle of jam, which he put back wheu dis covered. Robinson said he had a dozen overalls which were left on his hands. He said he had to go to Vancouver in the nibrning and offered thorn for $9 and would take an undershirt and drawers in trade, which I gave him and 16.80 iu cuah. Sergeant Gibbs came in and described the man, and I said 1 bought the pants and handed him the man's card, gave bim the pants when he sitid they were stolen. I came to the court house and recognized the whole lot. Sergeant Gibbs being sworn, said: I arrested the four prisoners. Robinson tirst,, on the charge of stealing these coats produced, found in his cabin, also the rubbers in the cabin where Robinson was eating;. Coat marked "C" I got from Billy Sim Sim, the witness. I got the overalls from Mr. Macdonald. When arrested, after caution, Robinson admitted his guilt, but the other men made no statement. The prisoners, being sworn, each with the exception of Welch, admitted their guilt. Welch admitted his knowledge of the fact that the other prisoners were selling the stolen goods. Hia Lordship, in passing sentence, ex- pressed his strong disapproval of the privi lege given in the new code to prisoners of being examined under oath. "It is a benefit to innocent parties, but it certainly is distressing to Bee the name of the Almighty taken by such hardened criminals as a bait to oommit the most outrageous perjury." He paid a high compliment to the energy and ability of Sergeant Gibbs. Thomas Gray (Indian) being called, Mr. Hunter moved for the sentence of the court for stealing money from O'Dooohue, which, however, was restored. His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to nine months at hard labor. Joseph Shuck, Chinaman, for stealing gold from Jim May, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Charles Robinson, was sentenced to 18 months' hard labor in the jail here. His Lordship said, "I believe yoa are the only one in that orowd who has told the troth in the box and I shall mark the difference by the lightness 1 th. sentence." Weloh was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary and Sweetman and Bradley eaoh to fire years in the neaiteotiery. ii t�� i Tsiftg Da*. You want offioe stationery and we know it.

DECEMBER 7, 1893. time had he dallied with love, imagining himself its victim; but he had ever been ohary of offering his name to the objeci of his passion. He now thanked the pru dent teaching of his father, aud congratulated himself ou his own self-control that had held him back in the moment of insanity from profaning that precious gift which he yet hoped to lay at the feet of a worthy woman. But if he dreamed for a moment of abandoning his pursuit of Laura Kingdon, he quickly cast the thought aside. With redoubled ardour he coveted the girl who could only have become his wife at cost of grave family dissension. He felt himself free to possess her, and liberty gave vitality to passion. And a fiercer flame was added to the fire that burned in his heart: he would be revenged upon her falsity, upon the class of birds of prey which site represented. Litt���' he recked of the suffering his conduct might coat her. The cruelty of a jealous passion is almost inhuman. If his knowledge of the world's sad picture* ahowed him a vision of wrecked womanhood, lost beauty, broken heart, aud mind degraded, he closed his eyes against it callously, and crushed pity with some ���ach judgment as: "What does it matter? It will be all tbe same a hundred years hence." CHAPTER V. COMPROMISED. As soon as Willmore was out of hearing, Ralph Kestrel approached Laura, and asked abruptly: "Is this true?" "Is what true?" "This coming home ot your sister's bosband?" "Captain Dundae is on hia way home." "No humbug? True for a fact, eh?" "I believe his vessel will be reported ���My hour. Why do you doubt my sister'.' It is she, I suppose, "who informed you. Why do you ask me? How does it con- ewrn you?" "Your very good at asking questions, I_ura; be discreet in answering any that may be put to yon���for your sister's sake." "What do you mean?" Laura Kingdon asked this question Impetuously, with a tremor in her voice and a wild look of apprehension in her large blue eyes, turned up to him in the glare of the gasalier. The other stared at her with drunken impenetrability, and shook his head ���lowly several times; then, trying to put her oil the cheek, an attention which sho evaded, he hiccoughed; "You'll know all about it, my dee���, in good time���in good time." She caught him by the asm m >�� torned away. "Ralph Kestrel, if you obntemplnto any wickedness against my sister; if you have forced yourself upon her again, and ���he has been weak enough to receive you, in spite of my warning, in spite of ber solemn promise to me 1 implore you to desist from this persecution. I warn you that the time has come when she will be no longer without a protector, and your attempts to corrupt her, while they may ruin all tho happiness of her life, may bring about your own destruction." - She stood like a challenging angel before him. She towered up like a prophetess delivering an oracle of doom. Her small nature became majestic, and, as she looked him through and through, the Dutch Courage with which he had fortified himself deserted him, and he quailed like a chidden cur. "Who says I mean wickedness? Who ���ays I've seen her, or know anything about her? Mind your own, business, my dear Laura, if you please. Dolly wrote me t' say confounded husband coming home���I must keep clear. Thought it was humbug���put me off trying to see her. You say it's true; that's all right. That's all I wanted to know." As Laura Kingdon watched the man's half-closed eyes, and listened to his shuffling pretences, suspicion of some imminent danger to her sister through him rose fiercely in her mind, "I do not trust you, Ralph Kestrel,'* ���be said scornfully; it is my bitter sorrow that I first made you acquainted with Dorothy while her husband was at aea. I have'learnt some part of the disgraceful proposals you have made to her in defiance of all the restraints of courtesy, manhood, and honour. I know that you have visited her again and again; how often and with what success you have urged your infamous suit I do not know, for I fear that Dorothy has not told me all. But this I Uiiove���for my sister is not bad; she is only weak, lamentably weak and foolish���I believe that she may yet meet her husband without shame, and rest upon his heart in the blessed consciousness that she has not forfeited her right to his devoted love. If I thought otherwise I would not implore you, as I do now to abandon the vile purpose which I know too well you have entertained. If you have now or ever had one spark of devotion for Dorothy, be chivalrous, and blot yourself entirely out of her life. Captain Dundas is a true and faithful man. His love for my sister admits no distrust of her. He would stake his soul upon the purity of hers. One little rift in ths parthly canopy of his trust and a tempest would follow thr.t would destroy not nnlv a happiness which has hitherto been perfect, but life itself���his life, her own, and that of the wretch whose * -unity and brutality came between them." Tho girl's vehemence seemed to sober Fnlph Kestrel. He replied with indignant protests and denials. "Why, Laura," said he in a reproachful tone and with great seriousness, "I can't think what has put such fancies into your head. Dorothy's a very dragon iif virtue.. I own I was a bit of an ass with her. but she pretty quickly sent me SUSPICION.���WHAT IS THERE BETWEEN YOU AND LAURA KINGDOM?" to the right-about; and you know, Laura. I'm sweet on Muriel, and Muriel's ���sweet on me. That's where the love lies. We shall be man and wife one of these days, as soon as���(is soon as���certain things have happen d. A fellow can't be sweet on two girls at once. I don't '���are a rap for Dorol hy, upon my honour I don't, and in proof that ull is over between us I've brought you her letters, -���illy letters they are. Don't read 'em. Burn 'em up, burn 'em up." He produced a little bundle of letters, and dangled them tantalisingly above her head. Laura sprung at them with a cry of joy. "O, thanks! thanks! A thousand, thousand thanks!" she exclaimed; "and what lias passed between us shall be utterly forgotten." '���Utterly?" "Give me the letters. "There!" He uropped the packet iuto her bands. In her delight and emotion Laura caught his hand as well, and pressed her soft lips to it, unaware that the library door had opened; and that Muriel O'Connor. Cecil Chester, and Donovan stood watching her. CHAPTER VI. "MENS SIBI OONSCIA RECTI." It wm scarcely possible that a girl caught in so compromising a situation could avoid some snow of embarrassment A hot blush sweptover Laura Kingdon's face as she looked up and saw Muriel O'Connor and her guest gazing in at her amazedly. "She has some shame, at all events," muttered Chester to himself. "This is the old love evidently, and she is 'off' \iith him for the sake of being 'on' with .ioor Ernest." And his deluded friend was hugging himself with the fond imagination that tiiis siren, with the Madonna face and calm gaze of purity itself, had been hitherto a stranger to passion, and possessed no past which she would wish to conceal! His immediate surprise gave v. ay to a cytiici'.l smile, and ; hen his face hardened into auger as he reflected, and alized the absurd position of his friend ..itis duped, Laura noted his thoughts with swift Instinct, and caught a dark impression upon Muriel's face which she hail never seen there before. And beiiitid those two Bred the malevolent countenance of Dennis Donovan, a man of whom she ad a rooted dread and abhorrence. But o(5 strong was she in her own innocence, so stimulated by tile loving triumph she -Mid achieved for her sister, tbat these sinister looks gave her self-) iossessiou in- !ead of increasing her embarrassment. iiie said calmly to Kestrel, "Here fs .,iiss O'Connor," and, turning to Muriel, made some quiet remark about Lord Willmore having gone to seek her and his friend in the garden. Nobody spoke. Ottester, for one, was astounded at what he took to be her cool audacity, a conclusive sign to him of a practiced intrigante. The silence did uot seem to effeot her in the slight est degree. Announcing her intention of .ecUing Lord Willmore, she glided out into the darkness through the siephan- Otis brandies with perfect grace and dig- niiied com po. tire. Then Kestrel approached Muriel, and began some incoherent explanation which she cut short by introducing him to Chester. The latter bowed somewhat t-tifly, and Donovan drew Kestrel ul once into a distant corner of the room, where lie seemed to subject him to a severe examination. Muriel sank down at the piano, and jliyed some soft strains, conversing i trough the music with the golden- jeardea Chester, who leaned over her ad watched the while fingers straying nver the keys. Why did he linger there? . Zero idle curiosity, he told himself, in- .lueed him to do so. He could not deny that there was a fascination about this woman, a magnetic witchery around ber, which made his very nerve tingle with an intoxicated delight; but he would not admit even to himself that he v;iB at the very mercy of her enchantment. No, it was curiosity that held ;....i there, the interest of a study of human nature, in which ho niighi compare : ;e signs, which the science of physiog- .inny declared Infallible, with the actual n :!iu*e of thesubjec; under examination, ...s he, in the self suaieieucy of his judg- ���tent, believed it to be. Her eyes, those 'windows of the soul," were undoubtedly irridescent; he saw tiiem clearly in the light of the candles yn the sconces of the piano. Yellow eyes of a deep orange tint, strangely uecked with blflp. He tried iu vain to .. Hociace them *,vith some evil character- . tic, to justify his prejudice against her. (TO US I'OXTMI'KD) CHINA PAINTING. A Short ���esson Illustrated With a Simple Working Design. One of the banes of tbe beginner in china painting is that the painting may become full of little specks, although there is apparently no dust in the room. The hard glaze of the china absorbs none of the paint, and each particle coarser than the others draws them to it. If fired in this way, your work Is spoiled. Learn to work CDT'WITH VI0LIT DECORATION, smoothly with the least possible medium after your paints are prepared, and they will not "crawl." When they do, dry your piece in the oven, then with the needle remove the specks and carefully fill up the white spot with the point of your brush very lightly and matching the color perfectly- If your colors remain dull and are liable to rub off, it must be that on each occasion the china was uoderfired, and the colors were not fused into the glaze. If tube colors are too thick, a little lavender oil, which partakes of the nature of spirits, is as good as anything for thiuning. Turpentine also answers the purpose, hut has the disadvantage of drying up too quickly through rapid evaporation. Art Amateur, to which the foregoing practical advice is due, furnishes the dainty working design here given. A pale tint of either ivo.'.v yellow, Chinese yellow, yellow brown or yellow green can be used for the bat kground. When dry, the spaces for the flowers can be removed. For tinting the flowers use violets of gold, carmine and purple, with bleu riche and occasional touches of bleu fouie, mixing yellow and black, atcoi-ding to the depth of tint desired. As all violet tones appear redder after than before the fire, make necessary provision for the change by adding blue. When two firings are proposed, this ad- dhion is reserved for the second firing. Pure tints of red and of blue touched in separately produce" the most vivid of purples. Dull secondary tints are obtained by mixing violet of iron with blue, but care should be taken not to mix this red with the oxides of gold. The inner aud outer edges of this design can either be filled in with fluxed gold or a mere line of gold can be used to separate the ground tint from a deeper shade of the same. _������ GRAINS OF GOLD.
