A correspondent of the San Fran cisco Bulletin, writing from Shanghai under date of August 24th,.a»jp: The most contradictory rumors concerning Count Mithiewici and his syndicate prevail here, The North Ohina Daily Nam gives the establishment of the new bank its fullest credit, but there are those who hold that this journal has been "influenced" to write as it does. It is simply absurd to state that the Chinese customs are tp be put under the control of the American syndicate. As every one knows, the custom serrioe is entirely under British surveillance, and has been time and again the efficient means of raising a loan in the London money market. Any proposal to bring the management of the Chinese customs under the new the syndicate would meet with energetic protest on the part of Great Britain's representatives. One thing ie certain. Tbe syndicate represented by Count Metkiewicz has obtained the contract for the establishment of telephone linos in all Chinese ports. But what docs this amount tol Absolutely nothing, sp far as I can see. Tlie use of telephones in China wUl bo very small for many years to come; even in the capital the demand of anything of the kind is insignificantly small. And granting even that this concession includes—which it probably does not —the right of opening up telegraphic communication between1" the various centers of Ohinese commerce, the undertaking is one full of enormous obstacles. The people are averse to anything which appears dissonant from their geomatic theories. • The reason why, even in this present year, telegraph poles nave been uprooted and wires cut is because these western innvations are believed to obstruct the free passage of the/enj shui—"wind aud water" —spirits, and thus bring misfortune upon the land. It may be possible that a government telegraph line between a few of the largest cities will escape the* unreasoning dislike of the people; hut even in this caw it will requite the constant watchfulness of a lrrge body of troops to keep the Hue intact. Ohina is not so waked up as the articles of the concessions granted to the new corporation would seem to indicate. Count Metkiewicz has been labor ing for two years, backed by a capital fully adequate to carry out almost gigantic schemes; but it is not to be supposed that this very thing has not been attempted often enough before, Nor does it seem probable that the Ohinese authorities are so very fond of the United States that they should in this instance have become so thoroughly Americanized. And what of the railroad grunt? So fur as the line between Tientsin and Fekin is concerned, ita construction has long since passed into French hands, that nation'a representatives offering to build the line ten per cent cheaper than all the other competitors. It is utterly ridiculous to speak glibly of "a railroad between Canton and Fekin." The nuturnal obstacles in the way of suoh an enterprise are simply enormous, not to speak of the fact that tho inhabitants of Southern Fubkien nnd Northern Kwangtung —the two most important seaboard provinces—are notoriously disaffected and always opposed to government innovations. Scores of years have still to pass before such a scheme oould boost even the possibility of success. Much more likely to succeed would be a rail- mod between the capital and some of thb most important cities on the Yangtsze. The establishment of a line running to Wuhu has long .been projected; yet even in this case it must not Ire forgotten that these self sanro towns were once the strongholds of the Taeping rebels, and ni-e far from being loyal centers today. We are told Anally that the concessions made to the American syndicate include the minting of new coin, perhaps the issuing of new bank notes, and the right to discover nnd work mines throughout the empire. Aa for the tint mathir, the rumor is palpably false. Nothing of the kind can possibly be true. The government has its own mint, and has hitherto persistently refused to allow any other nation to interest itself in the natter, Copper cash are the only coins current and the only coins demand ed by traffic to the interior. These are minted in Fekin, under government supervision, and it is very far from being even probable that the syndicate of Oount Metkiewicz will get hold of this coinage; and I doubt very much whether it would pay if they did. With regard to the mines, one can only trust that the presentions of the count are founded on fact, China's mineral wealth is incalculably large, and only a small portion haa been utilized heretofore. Still,) foreign residents in this contary completely discredit the count's statements in this connection, nor can I believe that the government itself wonld ever agree to such a concession.

LAST MAM'S DKBP1T0U8. TERRIBLE FISHIKO DISASIXBS. Montreal, Sept. 14.—A special to the Star, dated Halifax, Sept. IS says: Captain Goodrich, of the schooner Willie McGowan, of Shelbourne, from the Grand Banks says there will be hundreds of lad hearts in New; England and the provinces when the fiihermen's muster roll is call thia sea- eon. While off Liverpool yesterday, he spoke the bark Harold whose skipper, Captain Lyona, reported having passed many wrecked and capsized vessels on his way home from tho banks, whose crews must have perished during the great atorm. Captain Lyons aaya one of tho most heartrending spectacles ever witnessed on* "that race course of the winds, the1 Grand Banks," was that represented onboard of the battered hulk of a fiiahing vessel whioh was thrown upon her beam ends by the violence of the sea and was aimlessly drifting at the mercy of the wild waves. Skipper Lyona boarded the craft with difficulty, nut found no signs of life about her decks. Peering down the skylight of the cabin which was out of the water, he beheld a sickening light. A number of dead fishermen were floating about in the waah of tbe sea, while sevetal small shirks were tearing their limbs launder and feeding voracioualy on their flesh. The sight made Lyons' blood, freeze, but he could render no milt- ance in rescuing the bodies, nor could he got them out of the cabin and link them in the ocean, and waa compelled to leave them a prey to the ravenous sharks. The skipper says that at most half of the disaatera reiulting from the itorm have not yet been reported. Advicea from St Pierre give details of disaatera which overtook the Frenoh fishing fleet in the galea. One hundred vessels were demoralized, and fifty lives lost. Scores of fishermen were alio seriously injured many having armi and lege broken. The cchoouet St Pierre waa lost with all hands. The fishing season haa ended disastrously to the French, The catch is one-third below that of last year. The losses of gear, etc, incurred during the gale were enormous, added to which is the fact that the distressed vetieli lose a month of September fithing. These thingi have combined to already advance the price of codfish 15 per cent at St. Pierre. CHEAP WHEAT. Liverpool, Sept ID.—Good red wheat ia aelling in the Lincolnshire markeb at 27 ahillinga a quarter AK IMPORTANT MANIFESTO. Losno.v, Sept 15.—The manifesto issued yesterday by the Comte de Paris ia attaoting a good deal of attention here mid across the channel, where the amazing rapidity with which it was circulated all over the county is a matter of wonder itself. The manifesto is the topic of the hour. Under ordinary circumstances such a document would have been puerile and futile, but with the aoumen of an experienced statesman, the Comte timed its appearance, and haa issued hii manifesto at a moment when it wil be moit potent and more likely to have tho desired effect on the milidi ot Frenchmen. Kouvier'i minutry, never strong, holds on in a precarious condition, and Franco ia ready any day to hear of ita downfall. To the Loyalist party it looks for support, and if tins is witheld, the influence of the ministry in its feeble condition would speouily dissolve. In fact, the Loyalists occupy much the same position in France towards the government that the Unionists do in England. To out looso from the counsel of the Loyalists and to ignore their suggestions would be to court political death. The appearance of the manifesto at thii particular time givea an. emphatic chock to the exuberant joy with which Franco convulsed over the ministers uf the 17th Army Corps, which haa successfully demonstrated the schemes of mobilization. It distracts the publio mind from the absorbing aatiafaction it feela in the fancied possession of an army that is now able to punish Germany, and direct! it into other channels than those which lead to the desire for revenge. It, however, threatens the fall of the llouvier ministry, which cannot openly accept the terms of the manifesto; and between the desire to retain the support of the Loyalists and the perplexity in regard to pleasing the republican portion of France, the government ■ in sore stiaita. The Count'i manifesto may thus have a decided influence on th* mind of the fickle government, aad go . along way towards taking the fint step in the direction of a monarchy. the government's reply. Paris, Sept. 15.—It is reported that the government is preparing a reply to the manifesto of the Comte de Paris, in which they Will explain tkt policy whioh they intend to pursue during the coming union.

An Outside Opinion. We havo frequently pointed out the importance to this part of the province of the completion ef the railway system of the coast by the construction of the missing link connecting the C. P. R. tomiinus with American lines by way of this city and Seattle; and we have always held that this connection would not injure any public interest. When. Senator Dickey was at Seattle he gave expression to his views on that project, and his opinion quite coincides with that ot Columbian. In the course of an intorview he said: "He was much pleased to observe the feeling which pervaded the people of the city in favor of friendly intercourse with the through route over the Canadian Pacific Railway. He thought it would be a most fortunate thing for Seattle if a through rail connection could bo made with the Canadian Pacific Railway, at Westminster. If connection were made witii the Canadian Pacific Railway, Seattle and the neighborhood would be able to share largely in the export business to the east He believed that the building of the line to Westminster would be of mutual benefit to both the territory of Washington and the city of Seattle in particular and also to the Canadian Pacific Railway. It would take no business from but would rather add to the business of Vancouver and Westminster. Another thing that should be considered in this connection was that if the line were built from Seattle to Westminster, it would also compel the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba rond to make this city their western terminus. They would find it much to their advantage to build here, rather than to any other point" This opinion from an eastern man, one who has no prejudices to warp his judgment, and a warm friend of the G. P. R., is all the more valuable because the gentleman who uttered it is a prominent member of the Canadian senate. The Provincial Exhibition. From all appearances the people of Chilliwhack seem to be making ample provision for the great event which takes place there on the 28th inst Mr. 3. C. Henderson, who was in the oity a few days ago, informed us that the exhibition buildings ind grounds are now finished, The grounds comprise four acres of land which has all been leveled and seeded down. The agricultural hall is 32x64 feet, and 2 stories high. It is nearly the same size as the building at Viotoria, constructed generally on the same plan. The upper flat il j-eached by a convenient stUrWay,' and the two large rooms will be amply sufficient for all the exhibits that are likely to be presented. Ths whole building has been fitted up in first-class style. On the grounds have been erected 36 stalls for stock, These stalls are enclosed, and provided with lock and key, so that persons who bring valuable stock may be sure their animals will be comfortable and >*fe. Over the stalls is a place for nay which can be placed within reach of the animal without trouble. There an .also pens for sheep and pigs, extending along tbe enclosure 328 feet Another corner is assigned to poultry, with numerous and convenient apartments. Within the grounds a trotting track has been laid out for speeding horses, It is a little over a quarter of a mile, level, and well made. It is claimed that the provisions made for the exhibition this year are superior to those of any previous year, and all that now remains to be done is to get the exhibits and tbe crowd. Some people have expressed doubts as to the ability of Chilliwhack to provide accommodation for all who may be expected to visit the exhibition, Mr. Henderson informs us that a canvau has been made of the settlement, and it has been ajcer tained that accommodation oan be furnished for 800 people. This is probably as many as will be present at any one time. Persons who have been contemplating a visit to the exhibition need have no fear, therefore, respecting the accommodation for themselves, their cattle, or anything they may choose to bring. It is not possible at this date to determine with any certainty how much success will be achieved by this exhibition. Hitherto a large percentage of the agricultural exhibits have come from Chilliwhack, and it may be taken for granted that this year, when the exhibition is being held there, every person in the settlement will do his utmost to make it successful. It is to be feared that thi* year th* agricultural product* will in som* respects come short. In a gnat many settlements the drought bas affected the crops, and samples will not be equal to those of yean */fc*0i the conditions were more faro-aMe to development.

We numbered aliout iSS people, ton of whom were white men. Owing to tiie difficulties of tho country wo Tin 1 no saddle horses, but took along nix or eight pack animals, and inch iiritivrr also had a pack to bear. The wry dilliinitties in tlie way ol building a lino made the country a sportsman's paradise. Twenty yenrs ago there was more wild and savage game to tho acre in that district than elsewhere south of Lucknow, but tlie march of civilization has iloiil.tl.is driven tho big wild giiino awny liy this time. We were traveling along tho nortli branch of the tladnvey Rivoiv-sotnetiiiios upon its bank nnrl iigain a couple of miles from tho water, sometimes travelling live Or six miles a dny, and again halting for a couple of days to Hsh or shoot—when a most singular incident befell me individually. I had left camp at an enrly hour iii tlio morning to tlsh. While I carried my ri Do with me, I hod no intention of going out of my way to find game. I On the previous afternoon I had observed what seemed to bo a capital (lulling spot in a bend of the river, and It was to this place I hastened as I left camp, Some of the native servants were astir nnd saw i me set out, but I did not want tlieir services, It was pretty thick jungle between >. the camp ami tlie bend, but at tlio bend / thore was a clear spot an acre in extent, ' with a heavy forest growth and a ledge ' of rooks for a background. As I took a look around before sitting down on the bank to my sport I remarked that it was a good spot for wild beasts, but as thero was nothing moving I went right to work with my fishing tackle. Catching a frog for bait, I Hung in the hook, and it wasn t live minutes before I was meeting with such luck that all thoughts of tigers, snakes, and hyenas were driven out of my mind. I had landed hall a dozen good-sized Iish, and was just then playing n larger one; when a slight noise startled me, and I hulked around to see such a sight as lias seldom come to the eyes of a sportsman. A full-grown tiger was within live feet of tne, playing with one of the fish. It was the lust Hsh pulled out, and in its dying agonies it was jumping nbout ou trie gram. Every timo it moved the tiger would reach out a paw in a playful way, nud once or twice he struck hard enough to move the Hsh three or four feet. I Ml you I wns a badly frightened man, ■and all I could do was to sit thero with mouth and eyes open. The tiger had 'crept down from the bluffs, and why ho hadn't attacked ine was a mystery. He weut from Iish to Hsh, turning them over with his paw, mid time and again brushing uie with his tail as he moved about. My rille was ten feet away, leaning aririiiist a bush, and I might nave beeu idiot enough to try to reach it but for a warning. My personal servant had followed mo, to see what luck I had.- He came into the neighborhood while the tiger was playing with the Hsh, and, softly climbing a tree, ho uttered tho call ul a bird to attract my attention, and then sung out: ' "Do nothing to provoke the tiger, aster, Ue is a hilowcele, and if you do ' not cross him he will go away." ' He meant thnt the spirit of a good native hail been transformed, and it was t'leiiriy tho common-sense way to follow, his advice. As tlie beast gave me no attention, I turned to the Iish tugging at my lino and landed him. He was of guild size and full of vitality, and the tiger waited in a playful way untill removed the honk asd turlWtkeiPH eh the grass. .Then he sprang for it as a latton would ' for a ball of yarn, and he played with it in the same way. It was laughable, in spite of the circumstances, to witness his actions. He would ran around In » circles, as yon have seen a young dog do, sometimes almost leaping over me, and then again he would become the cat and creep softly forward to bounce upon one nf the fish. Each one as caught was flung to him, and It was a lull half hour before ho grew tired ol the sport, I expected he would turn to me sooner or later, but the native saw the change of demeanor first and called; . "Master, the hwouetee ia going to play 'j with you I Be aa clay in his power." I The tiger suddenly left the last fish landed, and came stalking up to me, purring like a cat and acting very playful. His first move waa to worni his l head under my left arm, and, I'm telling you the solemn truth when I say that I smoothed down his fur as if he had been a favorite dog. I had on a big straw hat. 1' nnd this he got hold of in his teeth, and ilnycd with tor ten minutes, or until he mil torn It all to pieces. I had no more bait to fish with, and draw, In the line, and sat there writing for the tiger's next move, When he had finished the hat, he eamo over and rubbed against me, and purred in a ploased way, and I rubbed him with my hand from nose to tail. I grndualy got over my scare, but was -et very anxious to know how the affair raid end. The sun was getting well up \ very hot, and the beast would soon peeking hla lair. In about thirty utes from the time he appeared the .- began to show a change of demca- He acted nervous and uneasy, and hair on his back stood up at inter- I Judged that be had gut the scent servant, and auch proved to he the A Mountain of Alton. Mr. G. M. Shaw has returned from a month's trip to the Gila River country in the southwestern portion of Socorro County, where he went with Messrs. Brown, and Bergen to survey nnd report on the recent alum discoveries, there, which have been located by a company nf rSocorro citizens. Mr. Slrnw reports almost a solid mountain of alum over a mile square, some of tlie cliffs of which riso to an elevation of 700 feet above the river bed. MoBt of tho alum is in an impure state and tasting very strongly of sulphuric ncid, but of whicli there seems to he an inexhaustible quantity. Home of the .Cliffs, however, show immenso quantities of nlmost pure mnrketnblealum. This.alum Hud, Mr. Shaw tells us, is on the Gila Hlver ubout two miles below the fork of the Little Gila and four miles below the Gila hot springs, Mr. Shaw reports numerous hot springs in that section, most of them gushing out of tlio rocks that form the river banks, some ol them hot enough to cook in, and most of them too hot to hold the hand in. Tlie main hot springs referred to abovo aro reported to have effected wonderful rheumatic and othor cures, The country is abundantly watered and woodod, and is covered with tho H nest of grass. The Gila is full of trout nnd other fish. Game, while still mo.l- eratoly plentiful, litis been mostly scrirert away from the region of tlie hot spring by professional and other hunters, as well as ranchmen, who are beginning to locate in this difficult to-get-at section of tlie Gila. At present the only way to get into this section is with packed animals ovor a precipitous trail of several miles, wagons having to be abandoned in the Gorge of the Initio Gila on the North Star Road, about two miles from tlio hotsprings and about seven miles from the alum find, going from Socorro or from tlie Black range. By the way of Silver City and Georgetown wagons aro abandoned on "Sapio" Creek, with about eighteen miles of packed animal trail, to the hot springs. Mr. Shaw being an amateur photographer, also, invariably carries that "outfit" along on his surveying trips, combining pleasure with business, and bringing back with him photographs of all objects and scenes of interest that he meets with on tho way. He brings back from this trip oversixty photographs of the Gila county, among winch ate u number of exterior and photographs interior of somo interesting dilldwellers' rains he encountered in a cave about four miles west from the hot springs. , If arod not rise to ny leet, but I made ny mind that lithe tiger attacked me nonld make a spring off the bank into ie river. It was infested with crocodiles, but there was not much choice bo- _ .twecn being eaten by beut or saurian. '(Once the tiger glared at me and growled, Unto next moment whined as if afraid, aim edged up toward me as li ior protection. The servant had been keeping a watchful eye on my strange playmate, and he now believed the time had come for decisive action. He therefore fired his pistol and shouted at the.top of bis voice, The effect was immediate, The beast drooped hla tail, uttered a long- drawn whine, lad with a sort ol farewell Slance at me he boiled ior the forest and isappeared. I had look*] him over pretty woll; and had noticed, among other things, that he had a broken claw on the right paw, , Wo did hot break camp that day-. Just before sunset, as we sat in groups smoking our pipes, a tiger charged boldly in among (lie servants and seized one and attempted to make off, We rallied to prevent, and the beast knocked two other men over beforo he was despatched. When we eamo to examine' the body I had not tho slightest difficulty In idontl- lying It as that oy my playmate ot the morning, —MSSt-WHS Wiut did you say *m friend it, Tommy r "A taxidermist." "Whatt thatr "Why, he'a a sort of animal upholsterer," Mama Tho researches of modern philologists have proved, hy the study uf languages and tlieir roots, Unit most of the nations of mo leru K.tirope have dose nidcd from the same Aryan parents of the inhabitants of tlie I urban peninsula. Climate, iu the coui'sj of tlmo, has so modified them as apparently to produce different races. Fo; suell n change to take lilrtcir, geiilugicul lap res of time are certainly re* quired. Our earliest records, dating back several thousrin I years, show these races, to hnve been just such lis they are now, quite us distinct. In these days th-' Aryan races of l'ui'opo cannot roar their eliildren in the climiito of India, wliere tlieir Hindoo relatives thrive and propngnti their species.- In Palestine nnrl lyiypt the biblical records, those of tho l'hnrniihH, and nlso of Nineveh and Babylon, show these regions to have been inhabited, several thousand years ago, by nations and liirres presenting precisely the same ro< o characteristics as those that now in- hu rit them. During tho historical period, the races of Europe, have in vain endeavored to colonize the valley of the Nile, but they have not been able to propagate their species, and have died away, leaving the valley of the Nile to its ancient inhabitants. Their children cannot withstand tho heat of summer. On the northeastern shore of Africa, the Algeria of the present history presents the same record. The Romans and the Visigoths occupied ita filains for centuries, continually recruit. ng their colonies from the mother countries; and yet. except in the mountains, all traces of their presence has disappeared. They could not rear their children so as to occupy tho laud of the Arabs. What lengthened periods of time must have elapsed to so profoundly modify races deriving their origin from a common parentage, that they can no longer live and propagate their species in the same climate. A Queer Pardon Story. Queer things happen in this pardon business. Historian L. B. B. Proctor, author of "Bench and Bar" and several other standard works, was telling mo the other day of a peculiar pardon case under Governor Seward. Mr. Proctor was a student in Governer Seward's law office in Auburn whon Judge Siuuuel Match- ford was a partner of Seward. A man and his wifo had been convicted of a crime, and both were sent to State Prison. He wae Bent to Auburn, and she was serving a term in Sing Sing. Sympathy had been aroused for the woman, nnd a petition signed by many ittlluontiul names was presented to Governor Su ward lor her pardon. After mature consideration ho decided to grant it, and on his way to New York one day Btnpped at Sing Sing and delivered the pardon papers himself—an unusual thing. The woman's name was Frances and her husband's name was Francis. She wns handed the pardon and walked out. Seeing thut the masculine form ''Frauds," apptnuwl in the pardon, she took a train at once ior Auburn and presented the-jrar Jon to the Wardon, with the statement that she had just been pardoned by Governor Seward, and been allowed to bring her husband's pardon in person. The Warden looked at it It called ior tho release ol the man, and he was brought out, handed the pardon, and allowed to go froo. When Governor Seward found out the mistake he thought it better to say nothing about it, and the prisoner was never returned. A OrangeMn a Hl( Hotel. A granger from Indiana strayed into qpe of the large hotels, and said he'd like to stop until the night train went out. That' was just before the dinner hour. When mealtime was announced tile man irom Indiana advanced to the counter aud asked where the sink was. I knew what he wanted, and waved my hand In the direction of the washroom, He started off, and in about a minute I heard loud laughter from the people outside iu tho corridor. On looking out, I saw my country friend busily engaged In wash- ing his face at the driiiking-fointtnln. 1 hastened out, to inform him that he had made a mistake; but ho met me before '. could reach the spot. He prevented it ludicrous sight Tho water was drippini: from hia face, head and bauds, while l.i.. hat, coat and vest, lay in a heapon a dialr near the fountain, "Whardo yo keep yer towel?" stammered out the old follow. One oi the porters then took pity on tho stranger and led him to the place hu wanted, where he finished his toilet: Business Directory. The following Business Directory relates only to persons whoso lulvertlsomeuts appear In the Biiinsn Colombian.

Much distress and sickness in children is caused by worms. Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator gives relief by re- moving the cause. Give It a trial and be convinced. Work was resumed on the brick blocks this morning, and irom the activity generally displayed by the contractors it is evident they mean to lose no time while the fine weather lasts.

O, W. Palmer, surgeon ohripodist, who visited this city some years ago, is at the Holbrook House.

The writer says: "Two receipted bills for the same wcok scum to mo to be incontrovertible evidence." But in this case the two receipted bills are not for the same work, and this is where both Mr. Kennedy nnd Justitia have fallen into error. A Good Move.—Tho forest fires which occurred in tho Solkirks during the earlier part of'tlic summer did so much damage to the C. P. tolegra|)h Co.'s lines, and kopt the sorvico in such a very unsatisfactory condition for ovor a month, that the company have been compelled to put a large force of men at work cleanup the timber from the vicinity of the track. It is expected this action will remove tho chance of any prolonged intor- furonco with tho service iu future Tub Tun of Wau.—The members of Geo. Black's team who reside in this city will leave to-morrow morning for Hastings. The'tug comos off nt 0 o'clock, and a large number of people will leave this city by the 4:30 train to witness the contest. As Mr. Blaok has had a great deal of experience in all sorts of athletic contests, the team he has chosen will no doubt be composed of the proper material, and no matter how strong tho opposing team may be it will have to fight hard for the victory. Naw Foo Alarm Station.—The department of marine at Ottawa have posters out calling for tenders for the construction of a fog alarm building on Point Atkinson at the' mouth of Burrard Inlet. This iB one of tho most important stations on the const and should have been furnished with a fog alarm long neo. During a heavy fog last month the steamer Yosemite ran within n length of the Bhore at that point, and was only saved from being beached by the skilful handling of Capt. Rudlin. ►♦.

Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the match will commence, it is doubtful if thero, will be sufficient time to play two innings. The following are mentioned as the probable players far Vancouver: Clinton, Nelson (Capt), Boultbee, Garriooh, Rand, Schofield, Bock, Prentor, Leonard, Ransom, Loing. 1. . » The Pet Seal Gone. — Several months sgo Mr. Vlsnen caught a young sesl which has since grown to be a regular thumper and a great pet. Several times people have offered to purchase it, but the owner having he- come greatly attached to it refused to sell. Yesterday two Indians wanted to buy the seal but were not successful in their negotiations although the inducement, offered wore great. This morning the seal was missing and in the place where it usually slept wss a pool of blood whieh Mr. Vianen thinks came from the sesl. Mr. Vianen is of opinion that the Indians returned during the night and aftor killing the seal cattied it away. The Indians are said to be extremely fond of seal flesh. In Chambers.

The Senator enjoyed his lengthy visit in the eut very much and looks exceedingly well after it. — •-*-« Very Mark Sat* rlsei Indeed. Yesterday, morning our ootemporary of the Vanoouver Newt published an item respecting the woollen mill in this city, giving tho dimensions of the building and staling that it was intended for the manufacture of blankets, etc. This morning ho expressess surprise thst" neither of the local papers of that city (Westminster) 'have thought it (the mill) of sufficient importance to refer to it." We are afraid our Vanoonver cotemporary is only simulating surprise. As a matter of fact both the Westminster papers h.ve frequently noticed the woollen mill, and the Columbian long ego gave nil facta of Interest contained in our co- temporary's item of yosterday morning, snd a great many more. We are fully alive to the importance of thu establishment of this new industry in Westminster, and have'endeavored to help it forward from the time the proposal wsb first made until the present time; and as soon aa tbe first piece of oluth hss been turned oat we shall publish an extended.daseription of the establishment, which baa for some time been In course of preparation in view of that event. For once that our Vancouver ootemporory hss noticed tlie woollen mill,, the Comihxmn has nolioed It fifty timet. At the same time we are always pleaeed to obterre notices In outside papers respecting Westminster snd bet industries, ami have no quarrel with our cotemporary on that wore, Herring's Opera Ilouse. There having been many enquiries mrtdo as to whether tho above opera house would be erected this year, our representative called upon Mr. Herring who kindly furnished the following information on the subject. Mr. Herring stated he had let the contract to Mr. James Turnbull, who engages to have tho building finished by uie latter part of November. The site has been changed from Mary to Provost st. The building will be 132 xtill, with a stage 50x35 feet. A large vestilmlo and ticket office will be on the right of tho entrance mid a largo cloak room with toilet articles for ladies on tho other side. Tile auditorium and gallery are calculated to seat 1000 porsons comfortably; thore will also be a row uf boxes on eithor side of the proscenium, A handsome drop curtain is being made, besides an outer canvas curtain as a protection to the inner ono. Tho latter will be divided into squares and on which will be painted tho business advertisements of eity merchants and othors. Add to this a large groen room and two large dressing rooms and we have an opera house that will be a credit to the eity and a source of comfort and enjoyment to our citizens. The floor oould not be made on two levels as the building will be used for balls, parties, bazaars, public assemblies, etc., but the seats have been arranged to gradually rise from the front and made movable so that they can sll be cleared out for a bull or other entertainment. Particular attention has- been paid to the foundation for tho floor. The floor will be of the best lix3 edge grain flooring, which is one of the best and most expensive that can be obtained, and will no doubt be appreciated by those who trip tbe light fantastic. Every precaution hss been taken to make the building safe and the means of exit ample with sll doors opening outwards. The building will bo lighted by electricity. The energy and enterprise displayed by Mr. Herring in entering singly into this work deserves the highest praise, and if we had a dozen more men of his stamp among us the city would soon feel the benefit. May overy success attend Herring's opera house. .—. ~^~, Geo. Dodge, Br., a well-known citizen of Emporium, writes that one of his men (Sam Lewis) whilst working in the woods so severely sprained his ankle that he could scarcely get home, but after one or two applications of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil he was able to go to woik next Richmond Council. Council met in the Town Hall, Saturday, Sept. 3rd. Present J. W. Sexsmith, reeve, and Couns. Kilgour, Nicol, and Quigley. The returning officer reported no nomination to rill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Lindsay, as councillor for ward C. A communication was received from C. Warwick, government agent, informing llie counoil that the government had placed 81000 at tbe disposal of the council for local improvements. Communication filed and the clerk instructed to oall tbe attention of the government to the fact that thi, municipality bos received nothing from the previous year's appropriation to the district and to request an additional sum of at lent $1000 as a just and proper share of aaid appropriation for this municipality.' "r ,, Coun. Kilgour reported that- he hsd seen the Indians with respect lo tha obstructions to ger.etted road adjacent to the reserve, and ascertained that a muoh better location for a road could be securedaloni>tlie|beachaiidriverithat the Indians were willing and anxious for the change and recommended that suoh change be made. Report adopted and Couns. Kilgour and Nicoll instructed to locate and stsko out the roadway to, connect with established road at Mr. 0. Woods' shipping barn. Coun, Quigley reported 100 rods of ditch and roadway on Lee Won's con* tracts completed and recommended $50 to be paid on ssme. Reports adopted. Mr. Verrailyca on personal iqiplica tion obtained permission from the council to out through trunk road snd open out his drains into road ditch. W. H. London appeared personally before the counoil to advocate an appropriation from the revenue sufficient to procure materials for the construe tion of a covering to wharf at the south end of trunk rond, Lulu Island. On motion the report of the return* ing officer was received and adopted, and W. H. London, on request, con. sented and wus appointed to act as councillor for ward C iu place of Mr. Lindsay. Mt London having made the necessary declarations of office took his seat at the counoil board. A petit ion waa presented tn the council signed, by W. R. McMyn, II. Youdall, J. C. Vermilyea, James Mollis and others, asking the counoil to take tho necessary steps for npouing Up a road from the S. E. corner of sec. 4. B. 4 W, B. 7 W.; eastward to the 5. E. corner section 5, B. 4 W. R. 6 W, to intersect the road running to Town Hall. The petition represented tbat the amount of travel tn snd fro across these premises was becoming burdensome and in some crises intolerable, and further that the owners ou seotioii 4 had no access to any publio toad except across private properly. On motion tho petition was referred back for further signature, and the reeve and W. R. McMyn were appointed a committee to wsit on the owners of land affected thereby. On motion the board of works were instructed to construct two bridges, one across the ditch to connect with the trunk road, near D. Walings, and the othor across tho slough near the Presbyterian Church, Sea Island. On motion of Coun, London, seconded by Ooun. Kilgour, the board of works were instructed to procure plans and ettimstes for a covering tu wharf at sooth and ol trunk road, Lulu Island, also to order materials fur the construction nf same, the buildiug to be 34x68 feet. The board of works wero slso in. Blruoted Id cause the necessary preparations to be made for constructing two bridges across Chapman's slough, Sea Island, also to prepare plain and estimates for the bridges fur next meeting of the oouncil. On motion tho board nf works wore SBMMaslBWMn--... instructed to let contracts, if found practicable, for the construction of 24 miles of ditch and roadway across the island from Town Hall southward to connect with road No. 0, cost not to exceed $1000. Coun. London's name was placed on tho board of works. W. J. Scratohley's bill for $7.60 was ordered paid. The council then adjourned to meet on the first Saturday in Ootoher. Mr. H. MeCaw, Custom House, Toronto, writes: "My wife was troubled with Dyspepsia and Rheumatism for along time; she tried many different medicines, but did not get any relief until she used Northrop b Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure.
