D.nalal.n Express nd-^rJCre»cJ^i,■repre, tenting the fishermen of Gloucester, and of Massachusetts generally, argued before that committee for a day and a half that all that was needed was to let matters remain just as they were without any com mission or further negotiation. The fishery olauses of tbe Washington treaty having been abrogated by the United States, they asserted that this remanded the two countries baek to the treaty of 1818, and with that treaty they said they were entirely content. They did not wish to obtrude within the three- mile limit. Their fishermen had no use for Canadian ports except in case of distress, and then the treaty allowed them entry. They could obtain all the bait they wanted elsewhere. Al) they asked was that the duties on Canadian fish entering American porta remitted by the Washington treaty should be reim- posed, which would be the case if the fishery clauses of that treaty remained abrogated. This granted, they oould take care of themselves, and •iked nothing more. Mr. Babson, speaking also on behalf of Massachusetts fishermen, occupied the time of tbe committee for half a day longer to prove that the habits of the mackerel had changed since the treaty of 1818; that they no longer resorted to Canadian waters, and consequently the privilege of fishing within three miles of the Canadian shore—denied to American fishermen by the treaty of 1818 and awarded them by the Washington; treaty—waa no longer of the slightest value. He proved this by an elaborate display of diagrams and charts. Only reimpose the duty on fish and let us alone; that was the unanimous cry of Massachusetts delegates at that time. They hav* had' their way, and now the evidence is that the schools of mackerel, despising Mr. Babson's theories, havo this Tear run close to the shore on uio Canadian side, and the Massachusetts fishermen are either returning empty-handed or ore running the risk of capture by violating the treaty which they contended was aU-sulfioient for their need*. And Mr. Woodbury and hit auooiatet are now raising an unfounded' outcry against the ad- ministration for an alleged abandon ment of national rights, which, two yean ago, they were quite willing to forego if thereby they could en- aura the permanent imposition of a protective duty on a staple article of food,'' This seeoit to us a very neat reply, and it exposes very thoroughly the hollowness and in- contiitency of the outcry made by theaa New England fishermen and the demagogue politicians who hope, to mako political capital out of it.

"Father, what does it mean to be a drunkard? Maggie Gmy said you wero a drunkard, and her father said so tool" Had a bomb-shell exploded at the feet of Mr. Woston, he could not have been moro surprised. Ho stood mute, and one might havo heard a pin drop, bo silont wore they all. But Kate, nothing daunted, after waiting what Bhe considered a proper length of time, repeated the quostion, and it wnB un- Bwored: "A mail who drinks liquor and makes a beast of himself." "Is that what you do, fathor"" "It is what I have dono sometimes," he replied in a choked voice. "It's bad, ain't it!" "Yes, child, Uie very worst thing a man can do!" "And that's what makes mother cry when there don't anything hurt her; aud that's why 1 have to wear such dreadful old shoes?" Only ono word in reply to thiB— "Yes." "Then I shouldn't think you'd do so any more; cause mother's good, and I don't like to wear old shoes a bit! You won't be a drunkard any more, will you?" said Katie, and she looked up to her father so confidingly, that he caught her in his arms, and hid his face on her shoulder. "Say, father, fou won't, will you?" "No, darling, won't;" ond raising his right hand he promised never to drink another drop of intoxicating liquor. "God helping," ho added revorently. "BIcbb you, my darling; you have saved me?" Then there were team and sobs and broken ejaculations, all for very joy, while supper was forgotten. It made no difference to Kate, whether her shoes were old or not; but whon a few days after she became tho possessor of some long boots with red lacings and tassels, sho had a better appreciation of the change which had taken place. Since thon she has often received beautiful gifts; and always she remembers with grateful heart that her father is not a drunkard.-iV It Don't Pay. It don't pay to have fifty working- men poor and ragged in order to have one saloon-keeper dressed in broadcloth and flush of money. It don't pay to have these fifty work- ingmen live on bone soup and half rations, in order that the salcon-koep- er may flourish on roast turkey and champagne. It don't pay to have the mothers tnd ohildren of twenty families dressed and starved into tho semblance of enitoiated scarecrows, and living in hovels-in order that the saloon-keeir- er's wifo m.y dress in satin, and hor ohildren grow fat and hearty, and live in a bay-window parlor. It don't pay to have ono citizen in the county jail because another citizen told him liquor. It don't pay to havo ten smart, active intelligent boys transformed into hoodlums and thieves, to enable one man to lead an easy llio by selling them liquor. It don't pay to give one man for $15 a quarter, a license to sell liquor, and then spend $20,000 on the trial of Tim McLaughlin for buying that liquor and then committing murder under ita influence. It don't pay to have one thousand homes blasted, ruined, denied and turned into hells of disorder and misery, in order that one wholesale liquor dealer may amass a large for- "Personal Liberty." "lama temperanco man, but I have my doubts whether you have a right to pas. such a law as you Prohibitionists tre after." "Why?" "Well, if peoplo want to sell what others want to buy, I don't think the law has a right to prevent. You haven't a right tu say that peoplo shall not drink if they want to.'' "Of course, thon, you object to the law that closes the saloons on Sunday?" "Oh.no. That is another matter. That is done simply to preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath." "You admit, I suppose, that the Sabbath wit made for man?" "Certainly." "You admit, then, that it is proper to close the saloons for the sake of the Sabbath day, while you deny that it is proper to do the same thing for man himself, for whom the Sabbath day is made! Is a part greater than the whole nowadays?" • 1 . . Wae and Ecm.—In tho territory now known as the United StateB tlioro have been killed during 160 years, in war, 000,000 persons. Yearly average, 4,000. Bum kills (at a low estimate) 60,000 yearly, or during the past 160 years, 7,600,000. The great wars of the world for twenty-five years, from 1862 to 1877, including the Franco-German war and our own civil war, cost a fraction over $12,000,- 000,000. The ooBt of intoxicants for the same period in tlie United States wat more than 115,000,000,000, or $3,000,000,000 moro than oil tho warsof the world.

In speaking of a recent defalcation at the Troy post office, a gentleman said: "It is never safe to inclose an old bill in an envelope to be sent by mail. Why," said he, "men who are experts can tell whether a letter contains money or not simply by the sense of smell. If you will notice any old greenback, it has a peculiar smell about it that can readily be perceived, even if it be inclosed within a letter. It is better to send a registered letter or a postal note, or, if you inclose a bill, be sure it is a new one. That will not smell."— Albany Journal. No Oarpete in Summer. The European system of painting floors instead of carpeting them, and decorating them with handsome rugs, is gradually growing in popularity on this side of the Atlantic. Carpets, as well as curtains, lambrequins, etc., may be deemed necessary parts of house-furnishing, but they all collect dust and dirt of a most dangerous character. In the winter they may be tolerated but when summer comes they should all be removed to places of security and protected from light and insect destroyers. The floor should be oiled with boiled linseed oil, and whenever coverings of any kiijd are desirable, on account o'f lessening sounds, rugs and mats should take the place of carpets, and plain shades and shutters will suffice to exclude too glaring a light and diminish the dust nuisance. Floors thus treated are kept clean much easier, as the oil becomes incorporated with, the wood and makes a hard finish as it is oxidized by contract with the air. The same treatment of floors, removal of carpets and unnecessary materials for the lodgement of dust and organic impurities will make the. sleeping apartments much more wholesome. It has long been acknowledged that carpets are entirely out of place in the apartments occupied by the sick; that they retain the poisons, of such diseases as small-pox, diptheria and scarlet fever, and it seems, strange that a crusade against them has not long since been organized. In the far-off future, when people shall have learned a moderate amount of sanitary knowledge." "carpets must go." —American Analyst. ' I' * H '. \ When to Pick Fruit. When fruitsaremature the preparations for falling, are just as Ibr mature leaves. A distinct line is formed upon the stem of the fruit in preparation for the separation. When the.apple or pear is mature it will separate from the tree without any pulling: mere lifting the fruit from its hanging position to a horizontal one will cause the separation from the tree to take place at once. A little observation will teach when tl)e fruit is ready to be gathered. At this time, the fruit having made its growth, derives nothing more from the the tree. After the fruit is full- grown its next step is towards decay. Decay in early kinds comes in a few days or weeks. In the late sorts it requires several months, but whether early or late, there is a stage in its progress from maturity to decay, when the fruit best suits our purpose, and wc say, that it is "ripe," or"mellow," or "in eating." This time in early kinds comes very quickly, and other varieties do not assume it before Spring. Early kinds come "into eating condition" so soon that they will . bear but little transportation, hence are suited only for near markets. But these vary greatly, and they arc from early and Autumn ripening kinds to the very latest. The fruit-grower should be a careful observer of these points. The best fruit may be spoiled or materially depreciated in value by careless picking and handling. Properly constructed cold storage-houses willW much towards keeping fruit in good condition, but unless the fruit is picked at the right time it cannot be kept profitably even in the best of fruit-houses. —Am.

Among tho novelties of tho entertainment will be tho doll drill by a largo number of littlo girls who are now under trnin- "18- ^_ Njukly an Accident. — Through some mistake ou tho engineer's part, who "turned ahead" at tho signal of two bolls, instead of reversing his engine, the str. Rainbow oauio vory near causing a serious accident when landing at Wiso'a wharf last evening. Tho Gladys was lying at the upper end of tho wharf at the time, and alongside of her were quite a number of canoes, some filled with Siwashos. The Rainbow rushed into the wharf at full speed, wedging tho Gladys from tho wharf, and struck the wharf with terrific force and rebounded out in the stream again. Fortunately very little damage was done to cither the Gladys or the wharf. One or two of the cuu- oes, however, were demolished and their contents spilled in the water. Cariboo Quahtz. — A correspondent, writing to tho Colonist from Cariboo, says: "During the past week work has been pushed ahead as fast as possible at the Island Mountain mine. The new boarding house has been completed and all the officers and men are domiciled there. At the mine, developments during the past week have been most important, as tho ledge has been discovered down the mountain, several hundred foet from the lowor tunnel, where tho ledge looks quito as good as at the tunnel. Nothing is being dono on outside ledges; everyone is waiting on the Island Mountain just to seo whether it will bo a success or not. If tho Island Mountain is a success there will be the biggest quartz boom here that woe ever on tho Pacific coast—and from presont appearances there is uo doubt but what it will be a success. Kootenay Coal.—A letter from Kootenay to a gentleman in Victoria gives very encouraging reports of the coal finds. It says: "I found very good work has been done here and the results are agreeably surprising. On one seam they are in 65 feet, with a shaft sunk from tho hanging to the foot wall, a distance of 35 foet. Of thia there are 30 feet of solid coal without a flaw in it' Then comes a bed ut 5 feet nf coal and shale mixed. Another seam near the former has 12 feet of solid pure coal. Two more seams near have each 7 feet of pure coal, and another ha. 14 feet. There aro still two more each of four feet ef pure coal. All these seams nre superimposed one above tho other at distances varying from a 100 to 40 feet apart. They are all opened up, showing the hanging and foot wall. The cnitl appears to be much of the same quality throughout. It is 'of n bright blaok and shilling appearance, hardly soil. the finger, when touched and makes a brilliant clear fire, with a rmioku inure like wood than ordinary eon). Near the surface il is very brittle, but becomes harder further into thu seam. No signs of sulphur can be detected. All now depends oil the quality of the coal, there is no doubt about the qunn tity." ________ gapreiue Court, W. M. Coehrano (for Bole, Q. C.) obtained nn order for the discharge of J. G.

Last night u deputation fi-tim thu West mine ter beard of trade waited upon Hon. Mr. Thompson, minuter uf juatice, and Hon. Mr. McLelan, post- matter-genera), at the Colonial Hotel. The deputation, which consisted of Messrs. John Hendry (president), VV. N. Bole, M.P.P., 0. M. Boeolier, B, Douglas and T. J. Trapp, waa introduced by Mr. D. Ohisholm, M. P. Mayor Dickinson was also present, a well as some other citizens. The tirst matter taken up was the appointment of county court judges. Mr. Bole discussed at considerable langth the importance of a change in the judicial aystem, pointing out many of the eccentricities of the present usage, and insisting that in large districts suoh as Westminster it waa not possible for the judge of the supreme {court to discharge the double duties of the two sets of courts. Hon. Mr. Thompson admitted that the present arrangements aeemed to be unsatisfactory, and promised that the suggestions of the board would receive careful consideration. The other matter discussed by the deputation was the unsatisfactory nature of the mail service between this oity and Victoria. It was pointed out to the Hon. Mr. McLelan that the steamer now performing that service was quite unsuitable, and the timo occupied in making the trip was unrnaa- onably long. As a consequence of publio distrust of the steamer's safety, and the tediousness. of the voyage, travel was being driven away from the river route, and was forced to go by way of Vancouver, involving inconvenience and considerable additional coat. The deputation suggested that the specifications of the mail service should be such as to require the employment of a steamer thoroughly seaworthy and capable of making the trip within a reasonable time. Hon. Mr. McLelan promised ' to consider the matter fully, and left the deputation to infer that a remedy would be applied to the existing grievances. Victoria Election. At the last moment, and contrary to general expectation, un opposition candidate turned up yeaterday in tho person of tho somewhat' celebrated Thomar, Baail Humphroyp. Tlio election took place to-day, Nina White's ft'lftlilutr. During her stay at Harrison Hot Springs, Miss White, daughter of the Hon. Tims, White, uecompliahcd a feat worthy of record, namely that of successfully landing tlie largest trout captured ut Harrison Lako this year. Miss White hooked the iish from off tin) bridge at the weatorn ond of the hotel and took it frmn tho water with all the dexterity of an old fisherman. Tho trout was a beauty, measuring over 2 feet in length. Tho fair angler received the praises of all presont, and future visitors to tho Springs will, no doubt, bo often regaled with tho story of Miss White's clover wpturo of tho monster trout.

That "Tocsin of the Soul, the Din- nek Bfiix," as Byron calls it, suggests no pleasing reflections to the dyspeptic, bilious sufferer.

There is a remedy, however, and its name Is Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure. Nocnsc is entirely hopeless. ITOTIOB.
