NUMBER 12 The • Provincial Penitentiary. For some time the Dominion government has been considering the question of enlarging the penitentiary at this city. The present building, everybody knows, is entirely too small for the proper accommodation of .tlio convicts. There are (18 cells and 89 prisoners. The penitentiary regulations do not .allow more than one peison to be put in each cell, but tinder the eircum- s'anceB the warden must either violate the rules or refuse to receive tliese who have been sentenced to the pc niton tin ry. At the present time there are as many as five in somti of the celts, and there is one room whore six convicts sleep together upon mattresses spread on tho floor! If the prison regulations ure good, the violation of them must be bad. The hospital accommodation is very imperfect, and there seems to be no provision at all for female convicts. Not only are the building-* totally inadequate, but the grounds attached to tbe institution are far too limited. These grounds in all comprise about 99 aores. But of this, only from 45 to 50 aeres aro of any use to tbe institution. The balance is occupied chiefly by the large ravine known us the Glen, and is unfit for cultivation or any other useful purpose. The penitentiary should have nbout 500 acres of ground attached, and it is believed that with a farm of such dimensions it could be made nearly self-supporting, nud the fed* eral government would thus be re* lieved of a considerable minimi outlay. It must be remembered that the number of convicts is constantly increasing, and is likely now to increaso more rapidly than ever on account of the increase of population. The number of persons iu the penitentiary on the SOth June, 1879,* was 30, in 1S80 it was 33, in 1881 it had increased to 43, in 1882 it was 52, and last year it was 74. It will be seen that the increase has been constant, and of late years it has beon alarmingly rapid. On the 30th Juno last there were 93, an increase of 19 over last year. The necessity for enlarged accommodation, therefore-, is very pressing, and becomes more so every mouth. It is proposed to add a wing to tho east end of the present building so as to meet the wants of the institution, But under tbe circumstances above mentioned it seems to us the time has arrived for tbo federal government to consider whether it would be wise to incur any further expense upon premises whieh are so unsuitable for penitentiary purposes. The lands, we bave said, are entirely too limited in extent, and they cannot be materially increased except at enormous cost. Tho Glen lies on the west, aud on the east tbe lands are held by private parties, and aro . very valuable. A small field partly in front of the present enclosure is hold at $10,000, and to secure land enough in that direction to satisfy tbe requirements of the institution would necessitate the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Besides, there is every probability that the oity will soon begin to extend in that direction, towards the railway, and it may not bo many years before tbe penitentiary will be almost surrounded hy buildings. Such an institution should always be isolated and apart from other buildings. It should never have been located on tho present site nt all. Thero is a reserve at Point Gray, at thu entrance to English Bay, comprising about 500 acres. It wus reserved originally, we believe, for military purposes, aud was probably intended as the sito of fortifications to defend Burntrd Inlet. (There would, we apprehend, lie no H?' difficulty in securing this site for a new penitentiary, and for that purpose it is admirably situated. The bay and gulf wonld cut off all chance of escape on three sides, und a wall run across the promontory would protect tlie fourth. Here there would be ample room for quite nu extensive farm, and the convicts could be employed for many yoars in constructing fortifications upon the point. Burmrd Inlet will, in a few years, become one of tho most important Bhippingaud trading points in Canada, and thu erection of a fort at Its entrance will be only a reasonable precaution. The materials for such a structure could be obtained near at hand, and tho work would be dono at very small expense. The present penitentiary grounds might be sold for a sum of money almost largo enough to pay for the erection nf a new and fur moro suitable building at Point Gray. Or thoy might bn taken, buildings and all, by the provincial government to bo used as a central prison. For this purpose thoy are well adapted, and the con struction of the proposed prison in this eity would then be quite unnecessary. Wo hope the hon. secretary of state, who ia now in the province, will give this matter his earnest consideration before any further expenditure is made on the present penitentiary site.

Let ibe People Beware! It is a matter of regret that the appointment of a commission by the Dominion government to take evidence and otherwise collect information lospecting the Chinese grievance in this province should have given rise to serious misapprehension and ill-will; and we are both surprised and disappointed that publio men and public journals should be found encouraging rather than removing popular prejudices with respect to this matter. It ia a question whioh surely should be approached with calmness and judgment, lest the federal government may receive the impression that if the Chinese are an undesirable class, we are an unreasonable people, If we wish the world to regard ua as aensible men, let us not act the part of petulant children. For years British Oolumbia has been declaring through her local parliament, on the floor of the commons and senate, and through the public press, that the unrestricted admission of Ohinese is a great evil, and she has suggested various schemes by which that evil might bo modified. The provincial legislature, hampered by constitutional disabilities and strain's, has repeatedly attempted to apply such remedies as seemed to lie within its reach, but all legi tion in that direction has been met with the federal veto. Our representatives at Ottawa have from time to timo spoken out on this question, and before a parliamentary committee which met at Ottawa aome years ago both they und others gave evidence as to the charaoter and extent of the evil complained of. But theso witnesses were not all agreed, Some of them, both on the floor of the house and before the committee, spoke in favor of the Ohinese and hinted that thia province could not afford to dispense with tlieir services. They even went so far as to commend the morality of these people! During the last two years both the .local legislature and our representatives in the federal parliament have manifested increased earnestness and determination in protesting against this ovil and demanding a remedy. The legislation placed on the provincial statute books last winter leaves no room to doubt that tbe province is thoroughly in earnest upon this subject. Mr. Shakespeare's resolution served to bring the question directly before the federal parliament, and afforded the first minister the opportunity of promising that the whole subject would be thoroughly investigated by commission during the recess. And this brings us to consider the appointment and character of the commission. There are those who have been endeavoring to persuade the people that, in the very act of appointing this commission they oan discern insult to the province—a sort of tacit declaration on the part of the Dominion government that it discredits the statements and representations made so repeatedly and emphatically by the constitutional representatives of tbe peoplo both at Ottawa and James Bay. It hu been further aaserted that, if a commission were necessary at all, it should have been composed of representative men belonging to the province and not strangers who bave nothing in common with us. We confess ourselves unable to perceive anything savoring of insult in the act of appointing this commission. It is not by any means a new thing, Under similar circumstunces commissions have frequently been appointed both in Great" Britain and other civilized countries, and we do not remember a single instance in which auch an appointment was regarded as an insult On the contrary, it has usually produced the very opposite effect. California did not fly into indignant protest when the United States government, after years of agitation, appointed a commission to enquire into the samo grievance under which this proviuce now lies. She accepted it gratefully, and availed herself of tho opportunity with all eagerness. Nor did British Columbia feel herself insulted when, a few years ago, a parliamentary committeo was ap pointed and aat at Ottawa, The appointment of this commission is in no mum a reflection upon the province, its legislature, or its representatives. It ia the reverse, bo- cause it implies a belief that thore exists a grievance of sufficient magnitude to justify enquiry. It must be remembered tliat, in view of legislative action, the Ohinese question develops into something more than » provinoial lame. It ia true the grievance just now affects only this province; but any legislation by way of restriction must be for tbo Dominion. Under these circumstances it appears to ub quite right that the Dominion parliament, bofore legislating on tlie aubject, should require to havo before it all available evidence whicli might enable it to arrive at a just and wise conclusion; nnd it was most natural and proper tbat it should seek that evidence through an impartial federal tribunal. As to the personnel of the commission, it seems to us to have been most unjustly attacked. If it was to be a federal commission at all, what could be more appropriate than that it should be composed of a federal minister and a auprcmo court judge! Instead of* sending us an underling or a political parasite, a member of the cabinet lias come in his own person, and one of our own supremo court judges has beon selected as his colleague. May we uot accept the personnel of such a commission as a compliment instead of nn insult! It is stated thnt Judgo Gray is known to be in favor of the Ohinese. If tbis be truo it is unfortunate; but surely a person of Judge Gray's judicial training and habits would not permit his personal feelings to influence his official inquiry! It has also been objected tlint a person has been brought nll tbe wny from tho east to aot as secretary to the commission. Undoubtedly an efficient secretary might have been found in this province; but the objection-is in itself frivolous, and in- asmuch ns the commission began its enquiries before reaching this province, and will require the services of a secretary to compile and arrange the evidence after returning to Ottawa, this objection can scarcely bo seriously urged. But let us suppose that this commission had been composed of out* own men (provincial politicians probably, who might hnve locnl interests or prejudices to serve), would its work havo been acceptable to the federal parliament? These hove been heard already— they have both B.'okcn and voted. What parliament nsked for was an investigation and report by un independent federal tribunal against which no suspicion of prejudice or partiality could lie, nnd it mny fairly be assumed that tho gentlemen who constitute the commission aro competent for such a work. Tlie commissioners might have met at Ottawa and received evidence there. But they bave come among us, to make an investigation whero tho evil is reported to exist, and it would bo the most absolute folly on our part if we fail to take advantage, to tbe fullest extent, of the opportunity thus brought within our reach of convincing the Dominion parliament of the pressing need for restrictive legislation. The course adopted may quite possibly have ruffled the feathers of some self-important local politicians, but it may nevertheless commend itself to the impartial judgment of the peoplo of Canada. We should be extremely sorry to think tbat tbe poople of British Columbia, or any considerable portion of them, could fairly be held responsible for tbe unseemly babble and ill temper with which the commission has been greeted; and we are glad to be able to assure the commissioners and the Dominion government that such is not the case. The sober sense of the province ia on the other side. The self-importance of a few individuals has been hurt, and that is all. We have only to add in conclusion that we are glad the provincial government was proof against all attempts to lead it into a false position in this matter. Room to Let.

We are in a position to state that, as soon as tho plans and specifications are ready, which may bo in two or three weoks, tenders for the work will be invited and tho contract, presumably, will be lot. Tho season is now too far advanced to admit of the erection of the buildings this year, but if the contract be assigned this fall the grading, drainage, water pipes, foundation, etc., could bo proceeded with, aud everything made ready for an early start next Bpring. lu this way we may reasonably luok for its completion bofore the wet season of 1885 Bets in.

Aii Unfortunate Statement* Not long ago, in writiug on the question uf government advertising, we incidentally mentioned that tho circulation uf the daily Colonist in this city was fivo times more than that of the Standard. The paragraph was copied by the Colnnist, and forthwith the Standard makes the following foolish reply: The Colonist, to bolster up its circulation, copies with avidity any bogus item printed by the Columbian, or such like government hirelings, in the journalistic world, to aid its fast exaggerated allegations as to popularity. Yesterday tlie Colonist reprinted an item from the Columbian to help itself out of the mire of unpopularity wherein its feet aro stuck. One naturally wonders how muoh it costs the Colonist to make governmental satel* ites print flattery ana lies as to circulation. Now, we havo enquired at tho two bookstores iu this city, and Und that the number of papera receivod is as follows: Daily Standards, 0; daily Colonists, 67! It will be seen, therefore, that our former statement was far too favorable to thu Standard, as the circulation of thu Colonist in this eity is eleven times greater instead of five times. We should uot have taken the truublo to publish this statement if the Standard had not forced us tu it in self-defence. Probably it will-now be satisfied tu lot well enough atone •sty .

Last Saturday morning a large party left this place for a pic-nic up thu inlet to Port Moody, on Thain & McPhai- den's steam pleasure yacht Rittler. The stoamer waB gayly decorated with flags and other holiday emblems, and among the company were several captains from ships at hoth the mills, who were delighted with tho scenery between Moodyvillo and Port Moody. The day was lovely, and tho rugged mountains, which lend such a romantic charm to the inlet, looked their best. On arriving at Port Moody all wero quite prepared for lunch, which was spread nnder an awning un the deck of the steamer. Afterwards Mr. E. J. Thain took the ladies fur a trip up the track on a velocipede, while the gentlemen were left in their hammocks to ijoy an afternoon smoko. On the return trip the party wero taken round Fanny Island so as to get a good viow of the North Arm. Some of tho poo* pie of Port Moody were under the im* pression, when they saw the gigantic proportions of the Rattler, that it must contain an exploring pnrty in search of the real terminus; but even the gentle whispers of the zephyrs conveyed no sign that'would dispel the uncertainty which still, clings to some minds in respeot to that burning question. The Penitentiary. HOW THE MIHIKALS ABE DISPOSED OF. A representative of The Columbian visited the British Columbia penitentiary lost Saturday afternoon, and was most courteously received by the warden and deputy warden of that institution. As most of our readers know, the penitentiary is situated on a part of what ia known as Sapperton, immediately west of the city limits. It stands on the bank of the river, surrounded by well-kept grounds, and communda one uf the finest views anywhere to bo had. The building is of cut stone, and thu floors are of Vancouver Island oak. It contains 08 cells, but as there are 89 convicts it is fuund necessary to put more than one prisoner in a cell, which is contrary to regulations. In some instances there arc as many as five in one cell, and in one case six! The constantly increasing numbers make it certain that an enlargement will bo necessary at once, or else both the safety and health of the convicts will be in danger. The cells are kept very clean, and, indeed, so is the whole institution. Besides containing various apartments required for officers, kitchen, laundry, &c, the building contains a Protestant aud a Roman Catholic chapel, where tho convicts are required to attend divine service every Sabbath. Of the convicts now in tlio institution OVER ONE-THIRD ARE CHINAMEN. There are 2 half-breeds, 5 negroes, 22 Indians, 20 white men, and 31 Chi* nose. This is a fact which should be brought to the notice of the Ohinese commission. Although thero are twice BB many white men as Ohinese in the province, the criminal records will show that the celestial convicts are everywhere much more numerous than the white. As a general rule the convicts in the penitentiary are made to conform to the regulations of the institution without the incentive of severe punishment. The most notable exception to this rule is Barry, whose name has more than once been made publio in connection with refractory conduct. Barry has been frequently consigned to the blaok hole for bad conduct, in fact he is seldom at liberty. Not long ago he was treated to a number of lashes for making a iriurderous attaok upon one of the guards. This had a salutary effect, but he very soon relapsed into his old ways, and is again in solitary confinement. The officers, some of whom have been for over 20 years connected with similar institutions, say Barry is the worst sample they ever met. He seems to be possessed of a devil, and openly declares that he .will not be content until he has killed somebody. Surrounding tho penitentiary there are NINETY-NINE AORES of ground. Of this about 36 acres are cleared and enclosed by a high wall, and the men are now extending the wall so as to take in 6 aores more, whioh will also be cleared off and put under crop. When this has been doue the limits cannot be extended much further for any useful purpose. Running along the west side is a deep ravine which could not bo of any use to the penitentiary. On the north side a branch of this ravine cuts across near the limit of the 0 acres now Ileitis reclaimed, and extension in either of these directions would serve no useful purpose. The wholo area of the land fit for cultivation, therefore, exclusive uf buildings, will not he much more than 30 aores. Last year the retirttw obtained from the soil amounted to $2,823.18. This year it will go above $3,000. With a farm of about 500 acres it is believed enough produce and stock could be raised to make tlie institution almost self-sustaining. Upon the present site thia would be impossible. Not only is the area entirely too Btnall, but generally the soil is poor and unfit for a goud crop. The crops raised, howover, are magnificent, but this result has been reaohed only through the expenditure of a vast amount of labor. The whole of the cultivated grounds have been thoroughly underdrained. The drains are made of stone whioh has been taken off the land, and will aggregate a total length of over 8,000 foot. The land every year has been heavily manured. Last year 250 loads of manure wero used, and this yonr the quantity hns been larger. Mr. Fitzsimmons, tho deputy waiden, takes great pride in the management of the estate. He has procured a number of verities of seed, and shows somo of tho FINEST SAMPLES of wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, and other vegetables wo have ever seen anywhere. From ground which most farmers would reject as worthless there have been cut this year four tons of hay to the acre. The potato crop will reach about 50 tons, and the carrots, beets, onions, and other vegetables Sresent a most luxuriant appearance. lore vegetables are produced on the grounds than aro required for thu use of the establishment. There is nlso a barnyard attached where chickens and ducks are kopt, and pork enough ia raised for the requiremunlH uf tho larder. -Last year a magnificent Bpoci- meu of a Berkshire sow was brought from England for the penitentiary, and sho ih thu most perfect animal of tho kind we have Been in this country. When fattened shu will probably weigh over 1000 lbs. There is a stable attached where a span of horses is kopt for thu use of the establishment, a baru for storing hay and grain, and u large ruot-huuse. The workshop has four apartments used respectively as blacksmith shop, earpunter shop, tailoi- shup, and a bout ami shoe shop. Here the clothing uud impletnutits for the establishment aru mado. It in intended tu increase considerably tho efficiency' of the latter two, and to manufacture bouts uud shoes both fur the penitentiary and thu other govornmont establishments in the proviuce. It is proposed to add awing to the main building so as to secure sufficient accommodation for thu inmates; but tho grounds aru altogether so unsuitable that it would undoubtedly bo found more economic to abandon thom and erect new buildings in a larger and more isolated locality.

HEWS FROM ML PARTS OF TNI WOULD. Nashville, Aug 12.—An organization established by Mormon Elders in Louis and Hickman counties in this state, about two years ago, was broken up Sunday by tho killing of all the Elders by a band of masked men. Mr. Depriest, the United States mail carrier between Ivey Mills and Centreville, Hickman county, gives the following account of the massacre: Three Elders were leading a meet* ing at Condor's farm on Cane Creek, Louis county, Sunday evening when twelve masked men on horseback rode up to the house and ordered a young man named Hutson and young Condor to surrender. They showed fight and one of the masked men knocked Condor down, breaking his skull. Hutson fired and one of the masked men fell dead. He was found to be Dave Henson, a citizen of Hickman county. He lived at Brush Fork on the Beaverdam. The masked men then shot and killed two of the Mormon Elders. Tho third ran toward the woods from which firing was soon heard. The Elder has- not been seen since and it is supposed that ho was also killed. It lias oho been ascertained that tbo masked mci before going to Condor's house, stopped at tlie house of a man named Garret, near Condor's, and found a Mormon Elder there. They left two masked men in chargo of this Elder. Shooting was heard shortly afterward and that Elder has not been seen since, Whon the firing commenced at Condor's house one Elder hid behind Mrs, Condor and in shooting at him Mrs. Condor was wounded, Iowa Citv, Aug. 13,—The city is in the midst of great excitement to-night. The streets are crowded with people and a fear of violence pervades all good citizens. This afternoon at tbe trial of two brewers of this city before a justice of the peace, a mob of 200 thugs attacked the prosecuting lawyer, named W. H.

Tho mob, many of them crazed by drink, tried to catch the prinoipal witness, named Swafford, and would have hanged him had they found him, A constable was severely cut with knives. The roughs came to town this evening, and for an hour had possession of the streets, the sheriffs force and the oity police being powerless. After supper tbey found Swafford and knocked him ana his brother down on the street.

These indications inspire me with full belief that tho great national aim will be pursued with order and moderation and the best securities for such a settlement may conduce to the happiness and the liberties of the peoplo and the strength of the empire." The speech closed with thankfulness for the favorable season which is "alleviating the pressure that has so long and seriously affected the agricultural industry." New York, Aug. 14.—Third Ollicer Kelly, of the steamer Bear, thia morning said tlio reports of the eating of the flesh of Lieut.

The following report of the provincial secretary's evidence before the Chinese commission at Victoria is taken from the Colonist: Since 1859 he had been a resident of British Columbia, and a member of the government since one year ago January last. In answer as to when the agitation of the Chinese question began, ho said that it assumed the shape of a political question in 1872, when he had moved in the house that the Chinese be disfranchised. The immigration came first from California, but direct shipments oame from China on the beginning of railway construction. There had been no means used to ascertain the number of Ohinese population in the city or province. The revenue tax was collected from 7-50, bot he thought that would only cover one-fourth of tlie total number in Viotoria. The groat bulk of Chinese were employed in a way that it was difficult to ascertain the numbers, and a largo number were unemployed'and were probably supported by the others. He oould not explain why it was that only a money return of 760 could be had when he estimated that there were between 3,000 and 4,000 in the oity. There had been few to his knowledge left tp tho charity of the citizens, and the number was limited that had been treated in the hospitals. He was unaware of any disease among them except by reputation, although the Chineso quarter was dreaded on account of its filthy state. The death rate was, perhaps, no larger among them than other nationalities. There was no provincial record kept of Chinese interments. He had heard evidence in reference to the cleanliness of Chinese in comparison with other classes, to which he must take exception. He thought they could not be so cleanly on account of their filthy habits and surroundings, and it was uot the general opinion that they were so. The ohairman said that whilo in San Francisco he had met with clean Chinamen, but very filthy surroundings. One who waa undressed in the most disgusting quarters he' found had clean underclothing and body. He was struok with tho anomaly of the case. The provincial socretary said he would like to say something in refer* enco to the contention that British Oolumbia could not got along without Chinese, Ho contended that the reason they had not white labor was on account of iho presenco of the Chinese. The groat number who arrived here woro brought by Chinese companies njid were bound under certain obligations to pay the major part of their earnings to their musters or owners, and it was a system of labor that was not free. Ho referred to tho thousands of Cinnamon who wero discharged from the railway last fall and went into camp destitute. Thuy lived ou "sick" salmon and were a source of groat anxiety to the white settlors, who feared trouble frum them, and com mu ii ion tod with the government. Tbo Chinese companies, however, gave them barely enough rice to subsist on, and no serious trouble fortunately occurred. He understood from railway officials thnt those companies contracted for so many Chineso laborers and drew the wages. Had not such labor oxcluded white labor, it would bo here, nnd Mr. Onderdonk admitted Chinese labor was not as satisfactory as whito. White men aud women will not come here and compete with Chi* nose slave labor either in the kitohen, field or public works. At the time of tho commencement of railway con* struction there was not an adequate supply of white labor here or it would have boen employed in preference to tho Chinese who wure on the ground. Thero wero cortaiu branches where the employment of Ohinese labor was remunerative, but they would never contribute to the progress and wealth of the country fn the bost sense. It was asserted thst whito labor demanded higher, pay than Chinese. That might be partly owing to the fact that there was not a tegular supply of the former, snd he repeated thst the presence of Chineso slave labor operated to prevent whito labor from coming. But he contended that even if white labor wero fifty per cent, dearer, it would still be more profitable to the country. Before commencing his second contract Mr. Onderdonk offered to contribute 9250,000 towards a scheme for introducing white labor hore, provided tho Dominion governmc iit, would take it up, bo convinced was he of its superiority over Ohinese labor. Had that been done the evil would to a groat extent have been overcome.

HASTINGS SAW HILL 00% RlCBD. H. ALlXAXnU, Burrard Inlot, a O., Mth Julyj Wp""*' anllltc mt §taB- (Contiausd.) "1 don't know about auy Vernon's •—except ourselves," Hester said. "My dear." wid Miu Vernon, hastily, "you must not get it into your little head that you are by any means at the head of the house, or near it. Your grandfather was only the second son, and you are only a girl—if you had been a boy it might have been different; and even my great-grandfather, John Vernon, who is the head of our branch, waB nothing more than a cadet of the principal family. So don't nivo yourself any airs on that ■core AU your neighbors here are better Vernons than you—" *'I never give myself any airs—I don't know what you mean," said Hester, feeling a wish to cry, but mastering herself with all the strength of passion. „ "Don't you, my poor child? I think you do. You are behaving in a silly way, you know, meeting me like this, Your mother ihould have taught you better manners. I have no desire out to be kind to you. But never mind, I will not say anything about it, for I dare say you are all put the wrong way with fatigue and excitement, otherwise t should think vou were excessively uncivil, do you know," Misa Vernon said. And Hester stood, fiery-red, and listened. If she had spoken she must havo cried—there was no alternative. The candle flickered between the two antagonists. They were antagonists already, as muoh as if they had been on terms of equality. When Miss Vernon had rested as long as she thought necessary, she got up and bade her young enemy good-night. "Tell your mother I have done my duty in the way of calling, and that it is now she who must come to me," ■he said. Hester stood at the door of the veranda, with her candle flaring into the night, while Catherine went round to the other door to call Jennings, her maid, and then watched the two walking away together with a mixture of confused feeling which filled her childish soul to overflowing. She wanted ta cry, ta stamp with her feet, and clinch, her lists, and grind her teeth. She waa like a child in the unreasoning force of her passion, which was bitter shame aa well. She had behaved liko a savage, like a fool, Bhe knew, liko a little silly, ill-tempered child. She ought to be whipped for her rudeness, and—oh, far worsel— she would be laughed at. Does not every one remember the overwhelming, intolerable shame aud mortification which envelope a youn? creature like a sudden .flame when she perceives that her conduct haa beeu ludicrous aa well as wrong, and that she has laid herself open tu derision and laughter? Oh, if she could but wipe that hour out of her life! But Heater felt that never, never could it be wiped out of her life. She would remember it if she lived to be a hundred. Miss Vernon would remember it, and tell every* body what a senseless, rude, ignorant being she was. Oh, if the earth would open and swallow her up! She did not wish to live any longer with the consciousness of this mistake, The first time, the first time ahe had been tried—and she had made herself ridiculous! The tears came pouring from her eyes like hail*drops, hot and stinging. Oh, how Bhe stamped upon tho floor! Never more could she hold up her head in this new place. She had covered herself with shame the very first hour. All the self-restrain at she could exercise waa to keep herself from flying up-stairs and waking her mother in order to tell her all that had happened. She was not what people call unselfish—the ono quality whioh is supposed to be appropriate to feminine natures. She was kind and warm-hearted and affectionate, but she was not without thought of herself. Her own little affairs naturally bulked more largely to her than every thing else in the world. She could scarcely endure to keep all thii to herself till to-morrow. She had, indeed, flown up-stairs with a cry of "Mother, mother!'- open-mouthed: and then it had occurred to her that to. wake her mother would be cruel. She waa very tired, and she had been more "upset" than Hester had ever seen her. Probably ihe would be still upset in the morning if she were dis* turned now in her slumber. Heater's fortitude wu not sufficient to make her go to, bed quietly. She was almost noisy in, her undressing, letting her hairbrush fail, and pushing tho furniture about, hoping every moment that her mother would wake. But Mrs, John wai very tired, and she was a good sleeper. She lay perfectly atill, notwithstanding this commotion; and Hester, with her heart swelling, had to put herself to bed at last, whore she soon fell asleep too, worn- out with passion and pain—things which weary the spirit more than even a day on the railway or crossing the Channel whon thero are itorms at sea. Miu Vernon went home half amused, but more than half angry. Edward Vernon'had not very long before taken up his abode at the Orange, and he wai very attentive to Aunt Catherine, as many of the family called her. He came out to meet her when she appeared, and blamed her tenderly for not calling him when she went out. "I do not think you would liavo been the worse for my arm," he said. He wm a ilim young man, with a black beard, though he was still quite young, and a gentle expression in his eyes. He was one of those of whom it is said he never gave his parents an anxious hour; but there wu something in his face which made ono wonder whether this wu from genuine good- neas, or because he had never yet come under temptation. This doubt had passed through Catherine Vernon's mind when she heard all that his en* thuslutio family had to say of him but it had worn away in boholding the sweetness of his disposition, and his gentle, regular life. To see him so dutiful and gentle wu a relief and comfort to her after the encounter she had juat had. "it would have given yeu a sensation," she laid, "I promise you, if you had oome with me, Edward. I have juat had a meeting with a littlo spit- tire, a little tiger-cat." -'Who ii that, Aunt Catherine?" Miu Vernon threw her shawl off her cap, and ut down on the sofa to take breath. She had walked home futerthan usual in the excitement of tho moment. "If you will believe me," ihe said, "I don t even know her name- except, of course, that tt is Vernon, John Vernon'a daughter. I suppose she must hare been warned against me, and inatructed to keep me at arm's length." '•To keep you at arm's length? That U not poeaibfe." , "Well, it doee not look likely, doei it?" she- said, somewhat molified. 'People are not generally afraid of Catherine Vernon: but it is singular sometimes how you will find your own family steeled against you, when everybody else likes you well enough. They tee you too near at hand, where there is no illusion pouible, I suppose; but that could not be the case with this little thing, who never set eyes on me before. She let me know that her mother was not to be disturbed, and even refused me admission—what do you think?—to my own house." "Are you quite sure there is no mistake?" said Fdward; "it seems incomprehensible to me." "Oh, I do not find it incomprehensible. She is Mrs. John's daughter, and there never wu any love lost between us. I always felt her to be a vacant, foolish creature; and no one can tell what a venturesome, ridiculous hoyden she thought me." Here Catherine Vernon felt herself grow hot all over, as Hester had done, bethinking herself of an encounter not altogether unlike the present, in which ihe had onacted Heater's part, and exposed lioraolf to tho ridicule of Mrs. John. Though this wu nearly half a century ago, it had atill power to move her with that overwhelming aenao of mortification. There are things which no one ever forgets. "When I heard of that woman com* ing home, I knew mischief would come of it," Miu Vernon aaid. "But forgive me, Aunt Catherine, wu it not you tliat uked her to come ?" Catherine Vernon laughed. "You have me there,' ahe said. "I see you are quick, and I see you are honest, Edward. Most people hearing me say that would have been bewildered and thought it not pouible. . No, I did not bring her. I only said to her, If you are coming, there is a house hore which you are welcome to if you pleue. What else could I do ?" "She is not penniless, I suppou. You might have let her settle where she pleased." "She is not penniless, but she is heedless and heartless," uid Miss Vor- non, with a sigh; "and as for settling where ahe pleased, of course, anyhow, she would nave come here. And then, I never expected she would take it." "You thought she would oome here, and yet you never expected she would take it; and you knew Bhe would make mischief, yet you invited her to come. That is a jumble. I don't make head or tail of it." "Nor I," cried Miw Vernon, with another laugh. "You Bhall carry the problem a little further, if you pleue. I feared that her coming would disturb us all, and yet I am half pleased in my heart, being such a bad woman, that ahe is going to make a disturbance to prove rae right. You see I don't spare myself." "It amuses you to make out your own motives aa well as other people's; and to show how they contradict each other," Edward said, shaking hiB head. Thia little bit of metaphysics refreshed Miu Vernon. She became quite herself again, as she told him her story. "The little firebrand!" Bhe said, "the little spitfire! facing me on my owu ground, defying me, Catherine Vernon, in the very Vernonry, my own creation!" "I wonder what the child could mean by it; it must have beon ignorance." "Very likely it waa ignorance; but it wu more; it wu opposition, firm, healthy, instinctive opposition, without any cause for it; that is a sort of thing which it refreshes one to see. It muat have been born in hor, don't you see? for she didn't know me, never act eyes on me. The little wild-cat! She felt in every nerve of her that we were in opposition, she and I." "Don't you think you give too much importance to the nonsense of a girl ? I know," said Edward, with a very serious nod of his head, "what girls are. I have six sisters. They are strange beings. They will go off at a tangent in a moment, Pull a wrong string, touch a wrong stop, and they aro all off—in a moment." "You forget that I wu once a girl myself." "It iB a long time ago, Aunt Catherine," said the ruthless young man, "I dare say you have forgotten; whereas I, you know, have studied the subject up to il» very last development." Miu Vernon shook her head at him with a playful menace, and then the tea wu brought in, nnd lights. As he went on talking, she could not refrain from a little self-congratulation. What a wiso choice ahe had made! Many young men hurried out in the evenings, made acquaintances that were not desirable, involved themselves in indifferent society. Edward seemed to wish for nothing better than this soft home atmosphere, her own company, his books and occupations. What a lucky choice! and at the ume time a choice that reflected much credit on herself. She might juat u well have chosen his brother, who wu not so irreproachable, As ahe ut on the sofa and took her tea, her eyes sought the figure of the young man, pacing quietly up and down in the dim space, filling the house and the room and her mind with a sensation of family completeness. Sho wu better off with Edward than many a mother with her son. It wu scarcely possible for Miu Vernon to divest herself of a certain feeling of complacency, Even the little adventure with the stranger at the Heronry enhanced thia, Mrs. John, to whom she had been so*magnanimous, to whom sho had offered shelter, had always beon against her; she had foreseen it, and, if not content with this incident, wu ao with herself.
