After nbout a yenr of this ho writes ns follows: Theso people ure now organized on u fraternal basis, nre living on two meats per diem, nnd as you see by circular, ure carefully abstaining, not only from the gross- scr animal foods like flesh and tish, but all animal products. I have been identified with this community over ono year, joining them at Pearl Elver, Rockland county, N. Y., June 8, 1881, Previous to that' time, since my fast in Now York 1880, I ate sparingly of animal food of nil kinds but swine's flesh; since then have rigorously excluded all animal products from my dietary list; and from tho unrelenting logic of facts that have come undor my observation since my residence in tho community of Faithists, I am confident that tho time is near at hand when it cm be as conclusively shown that "physical und mental vigor can bo maintained for any length of time upun a diet whicli rigorously excludes animal products of all kinds," as that horses, mules, cattle, etc., can retain their normal conditions of health and strcngtti by strictly graminivorous habits. Count Ferdinand de Lesseps lias liad in his employment thousands of Italians, Turks and Frenchmen, working on the Suez Canal, and bus therefore had abundant opportunities to test the relative nutritive properties of vegetable and animal foods. He says that the "advantngo of cereals over meat is five to one," and from observations and experiments made on myself and others T nm disposed*- to think that the statement rests on some firmer basis than mere assumption. You will see by inclosed newspapor slip tliat Count de Lesseps esteems cotton- bcoJ oil vci-y 1.»k1i1j- n« n snlmHt.lltfi' for pork, lard, butter, etc. The Faithists, like the Frenchmen al luded to, uso cotton-seed oil in their salad, soup, broad, cake, pie-crust, etc.; in short, it is thc substitute for pork, lard or butter for till culinary purposes; and from our experience: with tho article we wonder with Count do Lessops why the "Southern States hnve for years been throwing away beautiful cotton-seed oil and buying unhealthy pork and lard in its place."

NUMBER 8 world, New Westminster will, boyond a doubt, occupy the same position on tbo mainland, or in fact to British Columbia, that Portland does to the valley of the Willamette and the state of Oregon. Commerce seeks natural channels, and creates large trade centres at points where the arteries of trade can be tapped in all directions. — Blaine Journal. Women Voters In Wyoming. Gov. Wnrron of Wyoming Territory, in a letter addrcBBed to a member of tliu Legislature of Miissnoliuai-tts, gives tho following testimony in wgnrd to the practical working of woman's sufl- rage iu that territory: •' . "I have beeu a citizen of that territory ever since its organization, and was a resident there before its organization, whilo it was yot a part of Dakota, and from my experience and observation I nm compelled to sny, in justico to the women of Wyoming, that woman suffrage has not 'lowered the grade of public ufliciats' iu thnt territory. On tho contrary, our women consider much mure carefully than our men thc character of the candidates, and both political parties have found themselves obliged to nomirinto their beat men ia ordur to obtain the support of the women. As a business tnnu, ns a city, county nud territorial officer, nnd now, ns Governor of Wyoming Territory, I lmvo seen much uf tlio workings of woman suffrage, but I lmvo yet to hear of thc lirst case of domestic discord growing out of it. Our women uenrly nil vote, and since, iu Wyoming, as elsewhere, the majority of women nro good and not bnd, the result is gnud nml not evil. While I had no hand in passing the act which gnve to womon this privilege, I must neknowledge its success now nfter fifteen yenrs trial, nnd I will add thut no attempt tn ruponl the law has boon made for ten yenrs, and nono, I believe, is contemplated; for the practical workings of woman suffrage commend it more nnd more to favor among meu and womon as they understand it better and know more of its fruits. It has been productive of much good in our territory. If tho women nf Massachusetts arc as intelligent and public- spirited as those of Wyoming (and I have no reason to doubt they are), their political intluetico wilt he for good goveruiueut and public order. Certainly this is thc ense iu Wyoming." This, in the facts recited, is certainly a very strong statement in favor of woman suffrage. The results of the experiment in Wyoming Terrilory have uot been harmful to eithor sex, but rather beneficial to society" and the peoplo there, according to Gov. Wnrn-n, have uo idua of changing their 'nw oil this subject.—Initeptintvnt:, JOHN G A11 HOW, M. D, PHYSICIAN AND BURGEON. Office—Next Elsnn's Tailor Shop, Cor.

OFFICE HOUIl8-8t« 10 a.m.; Ilo8nml lUntoHp.m. Cults In town nnd country promptly attended to. fo2tc From recent dispatches it is ascertained that Van Horno, president of the Canadian Pacific 11. K., has expressed it the intention of the abovo railway to commence surveying the route for a brnncli from the main line of the 0. P. R. to New Westminstor. The work of survey, on this branch will undoubtedly bo commenced before thu 1st of September, nnd the process of construction, it is said, will immediately follow the locating engineer*}. Tho New WestminsteriteH have great cause to rejoice over their brilliant outlook for unprecedented prosperfty, wliich will iu the near future unquestionably dawn upon them, Some of the prominent business men and capitalists of the nbove city are deeply interested in tho consummation of the Fraser River Valley Kailway, whioh will havo an initial poiut at New Westminster and a point of destination at Semiahmoo bay. * * * In the premise we cannot help commending the business men of New Westminster for their tact, shrewdness, foresightcducss and correct business inenvures. Thoy hnvo not con- damned the C, P. It. Co.'s course in not selecting their city as the terminus of that road; rather, on thd contrary, they give this road u bonus for building thom n branch rond front the main line. This offer tho C, P. II. accepted, and will shortly commoner tbo survoy, location and construction of this branch. Not satisfied with this, New Westminster business men have determined .tpon connection with tho American system of railway at the boundary lino on Seminhmoo buy, which will, when consummated, make the above city virtually tho terminus of two great transcontinental systems of railway. Now Westminster is eligibly situated for a great commercial mart— being located iu tho midst of one of the finest agricultural districts of the mainland of British Columbia; it is afforded excellent navigation both with the interior and the ocean by the Fraser Kiver; it will be given outlet to the eastern markets through its branch which will connect it with tho C, P. It.; it will have connections with Pugot Sound and in fact tho east with the completion of the Frasor River Valley Kailway. Ry securing these means nf o-nnttnmiication with the outside Raising the Dead, In the current number of tho Accle- piad Dr. Richardson recounts his "Ro* searches in Resuscitation," nnd Bug- gouts somo serious reflections on the questions of what is death ? When does death occur? May life bo restored after actual death ? By combining "artificial circulation" witli artilicial respiration, a dog was restored to life one hour aud firu minutes after being killed by au overdose of chloroform, tho heart being perfectly atill, nnd passing into rigidity, Animals that Imve been killed by suffocation, the heart and other viscera displayed by partial dissection, were so far brought into n state of musculnr irritability that the experiment wns stopped from motives of humanity, i.e., lest the mutilated body should return to conscious sentient life. Frogs poisoned by nitrate of ainyl woro restored aftor nine days of apparent death; iu one case after signs of putrefactive change had commenced. Various methods of effecting these resuscitations nru described; the most original and utl'ectivo being that of pumping wnrm defibrinated and oxygenized blood into an artery iu euch u manner that the stroke of the pump shall correspond with the natural pulsntiuns of the artery, and to the stroke of the heart, which is thus awakened to its customary work. The action of peroxide of hydrogen iu reanimating the blood and restoring animal heat in a renlly dead body ia quite startling. Tliu agent upon which Dr. Richard- aon most relies iu protracting tho poriod that may elapse between apparent death aud restoration of lifo, is one that by no menus suggests itself to the uninitiated, vm., "extreme cold." Thia reliance is based on the fact that it suspends tlio aggregation of the blood corpuscles iu the mimfto vessels; the contraction of tho capillaries: the occurrence of rigor mortis', putrefactive change iu tho blood; and, moro especially, thnt it retards or completely prevents the coagulation of the blood. Whnt I have read in this paper, and have heard in conversation with ita author, nppuars to me to justify the conclusion that a drowned or suffocated man is not hopelessly dead so lung aa tho bodily organs remain uninjured by violence or disease, nnd tho blood remains sufficiently liquid to be set in motion artificially, and supplied with a littlo. oxygen to start tho chemical movement of lifo. An ingenious Now York lady bns invented a way to travel with much money without anxiety. She had a travelling-dress trimmed elaborately with buttons. The cheaper ones contained gold pieces neatly laid between the wooden molds and covered with cloth in tho usual fashion. Tlio costlier buttons wero stutlod with United States notes.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS THIS DAY. To PrinteH P. Robson tt Co Lorno College. ...Rov. C. J. Bronton Ihf fvitish (Columbian. Salunlav Morning, July W, 1KM3. Some American papers nre lie- coming suspicious of tho growing friendship which has lately been manifesting itself between Great Britain and Mexico. Mexico, it is said, wants to negotiate n big loan in London, aiul tliere are certain wcnltliy Englishmen who would like to get control of the Mexican railway system. The government seems quite willing to make large concessions to tliese Englishmen if the success of the public loan is assured. But Americans ure afraid that if Englishmen lend money to Mexico, and Mexico becomes a defaulter, Britain mny some day occu- py that country with an armed forco such us hns taken possession of Egypt. This is what alarms (them. The Seattle Posl says: "The alarm shown by tho Uritish people at the condition of their navy is strangely in contrast with the indifference shown by the American people, who have no navy at all. There is no doubt that the navy of England is easily a match for thnt of any other nation, yet the mere suggestion by a few fault linders that it is not quite so strong as it ought to be, brings a delegation of anxious inquirers into the Admiralty Ollice, aud Lord George Hamilton is compelled to assure them that he will order an immediate investigation, und if the navy is not just as strong as it should be, he will make it so. On this side of the Atlantic, we are more complacent. We have no navy to worry about, und accordingly we do not worry. The United States is a great, overgrown China, sleeping in fancied security, but in reality ready to fall an easy victim to nny enemy that may choose to come." The Branch Line. Ottawa, July 22.~-Base yonr calculations upon my lirst telegram. Cambic will mnke the aurvey. I leave to-day for British Columbia. J. A. H. Hosier. This telegram, which was received by the mayor lust Wednesday, contains the latest information we have respecting the, branch railway. Upon receipt of it the mayor tele- m'-ApUwl to Mr. Gambia lUtUuig if he had received any instructions about making the survey, to -which Mr. Camliie replied in the negative. Thc "lirst telegram" referred to in the above dispatch must mean the ono in which it was proposed to offer tho syndicate the whole $75,- 000 bonus on completion of the branch, if completed by tbe lirst of January next. Wo conclude, therefore, that thc syndicate must havo accepted that proposition, uud that we may expect to see this city connected by railway with the C. P. R. by the first of the year. This is quite as satisfactory a prospect as most of us could have reasonably looked for. It is during the short poriod of severe winter weather that we Iind our position of isolation from the railway most embarrassing. That period does not come usually until thc end of January or the beginning of February, and before it arrives next winter we shall have supplied the missing link in the iron chain thnt connects us with the world beyond. Tt is expected that Mr, Cnmbie will be here in the course of a few days. His instructions will doubtless be sent by mail, as they will necessarily be of considerable length. Mr. Homer ought to bo hero before the end of next week, and will no doubt be able to furnish some additional particulars respecting the understanding reached with Mr. Van Horne. Agricultural Exhibition. On the 1st and '2nd of October the annual' exhibition of the British Columbia Agricultural Association will bu held on the exhibition grounds in this city. The pamphlets containing prize lists and other information were issued early this month, and all persons throughout the country havo had ample notice of the coming event. We hope preparatiprts will not be neglected. In some respects this may bo regarded us ouo of the most important exhibitions ever held by the society. The year of confederation will always be recorded as a notable epoch in. the history of British Columbia, and so will the year in which tho Canadian Pacific Railway was completed. It is quite within tlie region of probability that the through road may be opened before the exhibition, and that it may be made tho occasion of a special excursion from the eaat. People beyond tho mountains have of late years heard a great many strange things about this provinco, nnd are being consumed with a desiro to know what it really possesses iu the way of resources and attractions. Whether the road is fully opened or not, thorofore, it is almost certain that an unusual number of strangers from the east will attend tho coming exhibition, and their ideas of our provincial ■agricultural resources may be largely shaped by what they see there. It is of very great importance that the exhibits next October be the best the country can produce. Let our farmers, our lumbermen, our fishers, our miners, our manufacturers, and all who are engaged iu developing the resources of tlio country, do their utmost to make such a show as may place this province whore it ought to be in public estimation—in the front mirk of the provinces of the Dominion, Ulysses 8. liraiil. On the 4th of May, 186*1, Gen. Grant, having lieen appointed to the generalship of tho United States army, began his celebrated Virginia campaign against the confederate rebels. The nrmy of the Potomac at this time numbered about 140,000 men, and tho confederate army (under (.Jen. Lee) numbered 00,000. The first battlo under Gen. Grant ns commander- in-chief took place on the Sth and Oth of May, 1864, and resulted in a loss of 20,000 federal and 10,000 confederate troops. With varying success and considerable slaughter Grant pushed forward until Lee's whole army was taken (Oth April, 186D), and the national forces became complete victors. Jeff. Davis was captured on the llth-of May, 1S65. Grant's campaign, therefore, covered a period of nearly a year. He accepted the chief command at a time when the southern cause was certainly not very hopeful; and it may be said to have been only a question of lime when the confederacy would be forced into submission. The resources of the north were immensely superior to those of the south, and the blockade of southern ports prevented supplies coming in from foreign countries. But thc confederacy was united and determined, and it had brave soldiers led by exceptionally bravo and able commanders, and Grant bad before him a tusk which required "all the courage and firmness thnt so Btviktngly marked his clmr- actof. His conduct of the campaign lias beeu often and severely criticised. It lias been asserted by high authority that Ins victories were moro the result of favorable circumstances and the energy and judgment of his assistants thau his owu good generalship, This is a point wliich could not easily he determined; and whatever theories may be advanced, we have the fact that under Gen. Grant the campaign was speedily and successfully brought to a close. There is, perhaps, no American of the century more widely known than Gen. Grnnt. His nation, in gratitude for his military achievements on its behalf, twice elected him to the presidency, nnd bestowed upon him many honors. But honors and applause and victory are powerless against the foe which finally conquers all men. Last Wednesday night Gen. Grant surrendered unconditionally, and a nation now mourns the loss of a hero. The disense which carried ofl this remarkable man is cancer in the tongue. Its ravages wero extremely painful, and death muy have been a happy release. The end of Grant's life wns devoted to the completion of a history of the campaign in which he took so prominent a part, and the appearance of this posthumous work will be looked for with more than nntional interest. Gen. ({rant possessed such a character of honesty aud firmness that his history will doubtless be accepted ns a correct representation of facts, and may make public some things not now generally known. Canada unites with the great republic in earnest regrets at tbe death nf (!en. Grant, whose name will be known to posterity associated with that of Lincoln, whose memory can never die. CAUTION!

Olfl'ROH Notes.—From the Church- man's Gazette we learn that Rov. T. H. Gilbert has resigned his mission at Chilliwhack, and leaves at the ond of September. Rev. Chas, Blunchard hns obtained a year's leave of absence, and left for England on tho 15th. Rev. G. Ditcham will also go to England on loavo, and his Granville chargo will bo supplied by Rev. H. G.

She left Inst night, going to the mouth, and will work up stream. Fishermen are complaining loudly about the snags. In some cases valuablo nets havo been utterly ruined, and in some parts of tho river fishing cannot bo carried on. We hope tho Samson will now be allowed to operate without interruption. Finally Completed.— The Times is in a position to announce that at last the final exchange of papers betwoen the government of this province and tho O. P. R. Co., wjlativo to the Coal Harbor and English Bay properties, took place to-day. Tho delay arose out of minor details, auch as roadway reservations and sites for logging camps on False Creek, whicli hnd to bo adjusted.

Tho titlo "mistress" (abbreviated Mrs.) has no connection with marriage. It is tho rightful title of any woman who governs a homo, nnd is properly applied hy courtesy to all women married or single. Miss is the diminutive nf mistress, and is applied properly only to little girls under ton years old. Girls over that ago are Mrs. by courtesy, if not by right. Mr. means master, Mrs. means mistress. As a young gentleman is Mr. by courtesy, even if nut master of a houso, so the young lady is Mrs. by courtesy, if not by right.

Dr. C. E, C. Bi'uwp. vice- president, occupied tho chair, and thore waa a good attendance. Two choruses were given Uy the glee club; Miss DeBeck and Prof. Francis gave two duets on the pinno aud violin; Messrs. Marshbauk and Nichulas sung a duet; Miss Major, Miss Clarke, Misses Mamie and Georgiu DeBeck, and Messrs, DeBeck, Clute, Marsh- bunk aud Cunningham sang a doublo quartette; Messrs.

Oun Defences.— Tho Colonist charges T.n: Columbian with being "intensely sectional" because it intimated that something ought to be done fur tho defence of New Wostminster, Burrard Inlet and Nnnaimo as well as Victoria and Esquimalt. Our sectionalism-miist surely be of a most liboral kind whon it extends across the gulf and takes iu part of Vancouver Island! Wu offer no opposition whatever to the defence of Victoria, but ask that in all fairness the defence of other places uut less important should bo remembered. The Colonist ia su "intensely sectional" that it discourages such a reasonable request, and tries to persuade itself thut Victoria and Esquimalt only need protection. Tho plea is both sectional, selfish and almurd. .--» Railway Work.—From Mr. J, C. Hughes who returned lately from a trip across the mountains, we learn thut railway work iu tho mountain gap is being pushed forward with great vigor. It Jb estimated that tliere ure upwards of 10,000 men working on tho gap. This gap is nbout 200 miles in length, but in that distance a largo portion nf the road is ready for the rails. . Wherever a comparatively level section occurs it has beeu graded, whilo work in tho more difficult places hus been coming up. It is thu general opinion that tho two ends of the track- will uut ho joined until near tho he- ginning of October. The work on the uncompleted part Is in such a forward state that when tho men begin to close up track will be laid very rapidly. Large numbers of men keep coming from tho oast continually to work on thu road, aud tho company seems to bu using every possible endeavor to hasten the work. Going to Khartoum.—Tho Broad Arrow understands that Wilfred Blunt is abuut to organize arrangements for making a journey to Khartoum. He will proceed iu the first place to Constantinople, to obtain front tho Sultan a finnan authorizing htm to treat with tho Mahdi in the interest of peace between tho now sovereign of the Soudan and the suzerain of Egypt. Having obtained this power Mr. Blunt will go forwart to Eirypt trusting to his knowledge of Arabic, his friendship for Arabi Pasha, and his reputation to secure him a aafo journey to Khartoum and a favorable reception from the Mahdi. Mr. Blunt ia a brave man, with a courageous adherence to an idea. It has long been his idea that tho Mahdi, who ia more of a Christian than his Christian enemies believe, or will credit him with being, hns only to be seen by a competent representative of tho Sultan to be brought to terms nnd to make peaco with Egypt and England.

Gavin Lang, late of the Established Church of Scotland congregation, Montreal, preached a sermon to a company of volunteers in Scotland, in the course of which he said: "I have uo manner of doubt us to tho propriety of church parades. However, there may be those, some even eminently pious people, who denounce these as interfering with hoth tho sanctity uud tho rest of the Sabbath. Christian soldiers cannot possibly be out of place in marching, with or without the strains of martial music, to the Houie of God. It is their open and avowed recognition of the Lord Jeans Christ us the King of nations and the Captain of their salvation, and likewiso of tho help and strength of common prayer for the discharge of everyday tusk aud responsibility. All the moro that war is a necessary evil, it is desirable to bring the aspirations and purposes of those who are liable to engage in it under the sanctifying influences of tho Holy Temple. King David, because he had shed blond abundantly, was nut permitted to build an house unto the Lord his God; but, when Solomon did so, according to Divine appointment, one of tho intercessions at its dedication was, "If Thy people go out to buttle against their enemy, whithersoever Thou shalt Bond them, und shnll pray, unto the Lord toward the city which Thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I hnve built for thy name; then hear Thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause." Could there be either exercise or petition more fitting for human hearts or lips? Nor cau it be any longer urged, as it has heen over and over again, that thu likelihood of the Reserve Force being pressed into active war fare is either faint or remote, The time was when it was hugely looked upon ns a body banded together for show rather than for use, That time is past." Mrs. D. Morrison, Farnham Centre, P. Q., writing about Dr. Thomas' Kclectric Oil, says: "George Hell used it on his son, and it cured him of rheumatism with only a few applications, The balance of tho bottle waa used hy an old gentleman for asthma, with the hest results.

Mount McGregor, July 21.— Though General Grant was groatly exhausted by tho jolting ride in his chair Monday afternoon, it was believed this morning that the eight hours of natural sleep obtained by him last night had restored a portion of his lost energy. This belief was supported by his refreshed and somewhat brighter appearance. His pulse had scarcely tho volume it had at 11 last night, and as morning woro on thu doctor thought he detected evidences of a feverish condition, but tho forenoon was passing so ipiiutly as to give strength to thu belief that tho general wna nesting and further recuperating from thu fatigue of thu.trip, which had been undertaken at lii» solicitation and hy his expressed desire, after an assurance by himself that his strength was ei|iuil to tho accomplishment of this purpose, Toward noon, however, thero grew in the physician's mind a conviction . tlmt tho (lo/ing quietude was more of j extreme and growing lassitude than of restful repose* At midday there was a slight change in the sick man's condition, which was marked by increased weakness and less interest in whnt was going on about him. This change wns so slightly marked, however, that no unusual alarm was felt by the family, though it was deemed advisable to report the same to Dr. Douglas, who at thtt time was at the hotel. Accordingly, Jesao Grant walked up the slope to speak to the doctor, who came down to the cottage. The general wus less quiet, though he desired rest. He informed tho physician that ho had do dined alcoholic stimulants because he believed thoy served only to heat his system without imparting stroiigtli He expressed himself as feeling that ho could endure his condition of weakness but a short time longer, and then requested the physician to administor a hypodermic injection of morphine, Dr. Douglas wus not much inclined to grant this request because he believed the sleep and rest produced by artificial moans would too rapidly drain tho vitality of the patient. Besides, a lethargic tendency wus developing and Dr. Douglas preferred that tho patient should tako food rather than opiates. Tho sick man, however, declined, and insisted upon the administration of tho morphine. At length, to satisfy him, Dr, Douglas administered what Grant believed to contain three minims of tho drug, although as a fact that quantity was not administered, hut a slight portion diluted in the usual three drops of liquid was injected into the general's arm. Tho sick man grew more quiet uud seemed to sleep and thou it was that the physician left the cottage aud reported tho patient exceedingly weak. It has since transpired that the general was attacked this forenoon with tbe hiccough, and this disturbing and weakening as well ns significant fact was present iu the afternoon with added frequency. Tho sleep which followed tho injecting of tho morphine was followed by renewed hiccoughing. Attempts were made as tho afternoon was waning to give the general food. He joined iu the endeavor, but the quantity retained was smull. When the current of a goblet full of liquid wus passing thu general's throat, its own weight distended tho throat and the food passed down it, but when the last few mouthfuls weru being drained the weight and fullness nf liquid was not sufficient to distend tlie parts and they closed, because the muscular power of the throat was insulh'cient to keep open a pussiige. The result was a paroxysm of choking aud coughing with thn ejection of a portion at each attempt tu administer food. The condition of the patient may bu appreciated when it is known that within perhaps fifteen minutes after an attempt has beon mndo to administer nourishment to him, the general wmild suddenly look up with a momentary expression of bewilderment av.d inquire of his attendant, when are you going to give me that food )'* Half an hour might then elapse and tho sick man might dtr/.o, but would start as if hu had forgotten something and ejaculate, "When are ynu going to givo mo that food you spoke of?!' And when told that he had just received food, but that more would bo given, if desired, the general would again fnll into a half unconscious doze and mutter, "Never mind, never mind." The afternoon was sultry and almost breathless, with the thermometer as high as 87. There were no reviving elements in the atmosphere, and the sun'went down after a day uf stifling discomfort, oven to persons in good Health. The geiibr»i rcimuut>d m nio room aud was not dressed during the day. Ho did not move except to rise when the pillows, kept constantly bo* neaih him to prevent bed sores, were beaten up ami aired. Several times he walked feebly to the cut in tho sick room while his resting place was being aired, and thus tho nfternoon wcire on. Dr, Newman came up the mountain on the train, arriving at 0:15 p.m. He joined the general's family at the table, and there Dr. Douglas reported thu general's condition. He said the patient was in a critical condition, and thnt he would hazard no prediction of tho future, not even of the night. Mount McGregor, July 28,—General Grant died nt seveu minutes after eight thia morning. All the family wero gathered about the deathbed. As tlie supreme moment approached, Mrs. (! rant, in great mental agony, pressed both his hands, and leaning forward tenderly kissed the face of the dying general. It was seven minutes after eight ami thc eyes of tho general were closing; his breathing grew moro hushed: thc last functions of the heart uud lungs were hastened on to tho closing of the ex- president's life, A very peaceful expression seemed to he deepening ou the linn and strong-lined face, and it was reflected as a closing comfort in the sad hearts that beat quietly under the stress of the long suspense. A minute more had Sassed and us it was closing thc general row a deeper breath, Thoro was an exhalation like that of one relieved of long and anxious tension. The members of tlie group were impelled each a step nearer the bed; each waited to note the next respiration, but it did uot come then—it never came, Thero wns absolute stillness in the room and a hush of expectancy, so that no sound broke the supreme silence save the singing of birds on tho pines outside the cottage and the measured throbbing of the engine thnt all night hnd waited by Mountain depot. "It's all over," quietly spoko Or. Douglas, nnd then came the realization to euch witness Mint General Grunt was dead, Thon the doctors withdrew; thc nurse closed tho eyelids and composed the dead general's head, After which each of tho family group pressed to the bedside, ono after another, and touched their lips to tho quiet face so lately stilled in tho sloop that knows uo waking. A Mount McGregor bulletin just issued announces that an einhalmer from New York will bn summoned hither to preserve Gen. Grant's remains, but a local undertaker will undoubtedly conduct the immediate details and convoy the remains to Now York. When the body shall have reanhed tlint city the question of post-mortem will ho considered uml determined upon by tho family. Touching the place for burial, thc general a month ngo indicated three places as suiting his wishes in that direction. The choice, however, was narrowed to two, owing to the natural wish of the general that his wife should rest beside him.

London, July 23.—Tha uews of the death of Gen, Grunt I ma created a profound impression iu this city. Flags at thc American Exchange and at the American consulate were placed at half-mast tho moment the news was received, Large portraits of the dead hero, draped in mourning, are placed over the balconies nnd doora of both buildings. The whole front ol tho American Exchange is also heavily- draped. Gladstone und John Bright were both much affected on receiving a copy of the associated press dispatch announcing the death of Gen.

LONDON, July 21.—Russia has assented to tbe issue of thc Egyptian loan. Tho British government hoa instructed the Rothschilds to issue a loan hi August.

WASHINGTON, July 21.—Colonel Foster, United States Minister to Spain, has transmitted to tho State Department a roport made to him hy E. Do ta Gran- ja, a physician of Boston, who accompanied tlio medical commission recently scut to Valencia by the Spanish government to investigate the cholera epidemic nud to roport upon the ctliency of the inoculation practiced by Dr, Ferran. Tho report says: *-Tho persons treated by Fer ran were found to have beeu inoculated iu both arms, but presented uo marks or scars other than those made by the hypodermic syringe, and now almost obliterated. Some of them stated that thoy had had a little headache and severe pains in the arms, lasting about 24 hours after inoculation. Oue of the most remarkable things was thut none hud cither vomit or diuirluvu, excepting thc small children, who, according to one of I'Vinui'jjj assistants, had both. Tho statistics presented by Ferrau cannot lm taken ns statistics by anybody free from prejudice. The only thing to be said in favor of Perran's method Is that those who hnve undergone it hnvo lost nll fear nf the disease, Permit states that the inoculated du not havu auy immunity until alter five days froiiithio.ut- lation, but he docs not know for how many daya after tint thuy are pratooted. The inoculated, however, do not appear to acquire much immunity hrentiso they attacked by cholera like tlioso uot inoculated] The L-omniission has concluded that tho inoculations are hinflcu- sive and recitmiilt'iid*t that Ferrau he allowed to continue his experiments. The opposition to the present government of Spain tins beeu making political capital out uf the suspension of inoculation pending the investigation, thus allowing For* rail and his associates to pose as martyrs iu the cause of humanity, science and progress, It is my-opinion that Permit's tactics will bo short-lived, and will fall into as much discredit as thc treatment of cancer by use of cunduraiigo, discovered sonic years ngo by one of our own physicians."

Mr. George Tolun, Druggist, Graven- hurst, Out,, writes: "My customers who have used Northrop k Lyman's Voge tabic Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure aay that it has done them more good than anything they have evor used." It has indeed a wonderful influence in purifying the blood and curing diseases of the Digestive Organ, the Liver, Kidneys, und all disorders of thc system. English Temperance Work. Tuinporanco work in Grent Britain was described in the course of a speech in New York by Mr. Thomas Barker, a noted English temperance advocate. lie said: "Wo hnve been busy in Kngland during thu lust thirty years extending temperance work. Our plans havo been modeled largely after those in the States, and we have liad valuable aid from the leading temper ance men in this country, such as Mr. Gough and tho late Mr. Dodge. I do uot suppose wo have ntndu the same progress you havo here, but wo have dono a good deal, Our counties have not tho privilege of self-government ns in tho States, or we should to-day have local option in Scotland, Wales, and the northorn counties of England. Su much wo have done. Sir Wilfred Lawson, president of tho Alliance, obtained for local option a majority in the houso of commons, and Mr. Gladstone has pledged himself tliat a bill shall be brought into the house dealing with the wholo question. Formerly the members paid uo attention to us, bnt now many are with us. Sir Wilfred Lawson contributes §5,000 a year to temperance work and many others contribute sums frum §500 to $2,600. The expenditure in Great Britain for intoxicating liquors has averaged during the last twelve years six hundred and eighty million dollars a year; this is a decrease from the poriod preceding, a reduction partly due to the work of the United Kingdom Alliance." Lukes of Solid Salt. At the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, London, thu other evening, Sir Peter Lumsden read a paper on the countries and tribes ho had recently visited west of Afghanistan. He gave an interesting description of the geography of the Murghab valley and the customs nf its people, nnd quoted a singular account uf the Namaksar, or salt lakes of Yar-oilan, visited and describod thus by Capt. Yates:— Yar-oilan means "tho sunken ground," and no word can better describe the general appearance of the valley of these lakes, The total length of the valley from tho Kangruali oil the west of the Band-1-dotsan whieh bounds it on the cast, is about 30 miles, and its greatest breadth about 11 miles, divided into two parts by a connecting ridge which runs across from norlh to south, with an nverngo height of about 1,600 feet. To tho weat of this ridgo lies tho lake from which tho Tokko Turcomans from Merv- get their salt. Tlio valley of this lako is somo six miles Square, and is surrounded on ail sides by a steep, almost precipitous descent, impassable fn* ■ buflonuo animals, nn far as I am aware, except by the Merv road, in the northeast corner. Tito level of the lako I made to bo about 1,430 feet above the sea level, which gives it a descent of some 400 feet from the level of the connecting ridge, nnd of some 1*50 feet below the general plateau above. The lake Itself lies in the centre of the basin abovo described, and the supply of salt in it is apparently unlimited. The bed of tlio lake is ono solid mass of hard salt, perfectly level and covered by only nu inch or two of water. To rido over it was tike riding over ice or cement; tho bottom was covered with a slight sediment, but when that was scraped away the pure white salt ihoue out below. How deep this deposit muy bu it is impossible to say, for no one has yet got to the bottom of it, To tho cast of tho dividing ridgo is the second lako, from which the Saryks of Penjdeh tako their salt. The valley in which this lake is situated is much the larger of the two. Tho valley proper is itself some fifteen miles in length'by about ten miles iu breadth. The descent to it is precipitous on the north and west sides only, the eastern and southeastern end sloping gradually up in a succession of undulations. Tlio level of this lako is apparently lower lltaii that of the other; I made it out to bo some 800 feet above sea level. Thu salt iu this lake is not so smooth us in thu other, and did not look so pure. It is dug out in (lakes or strata, generally* of some four inches iu thickness, is loaded into bugs, and carried ofl' on camels for sale without further preparation.

A writer iu tiiu forthcoming (August) Harper's, in n paper on "English and American Railways," dkeusaes the question in some detail, und sums up thc controversy by declaring, "The truth of the matter is that we have trains in America which are as fast ns the fastest trains in England, and that they have trains in England which are aa slow ns the slowest trains in America," though tho average speed is greater in England bo- cause of tlm bottor road-beds* avoidance of grade crossings, a hotter system of signals, nnd shorter stops. On the other hand, -i>yo carry .our psssongers, high nud low far more cheaply than thoy do iu Englmid, The paper compares the other points of the rival systems closely and interestingly, and is rich in illustrations by S, G.

New TorIT ire Intoxicating Drinks Detrimental to the Well-being ol' tlie People, with Kespcct to their Morals, Happiness and Unity? A CONDENSED ANSWER FOR TKE STUDY OF THE PEOPLE. Every intelligent, moral and observing mind is well awaro that intoxicating drinks are perfectly hostile to the morals, happiness, and unity of society. All experience proves lhat there is a regular^ systematic, insidious, and often unconscious process of drunkard- making goin« on nbout every liquor saloon. Day after dny the tendency in tho fated victim to seek for drink becomes stronger, nnd dny nfter day the individual force of the will to re siat that tendency becomes weaker, until the habit becomes so confirmed, and llie cravings su intense, tliat the will becomes completely enslaved, if not entirely destroyed. Conscience upbraids, hut self-cmilrol is lust. A deep senso of degradation pervades the soul, but there is no determination to flue from impending ruin.
