Ihu |ritish (Eohtrobimt, Wednesday Horning, Nov. fi. 1884. uurrent Events and Opinions. Tlio Winnipeg Free Press makes i\ vigorous protest against ttie inflation of assessments in its city. Winnipeg's population is, it snys, "nearer 15,000 than 20,000, London's is nbout 30,000, and Hamilton's nearly 40,000; yet Winnipeg's assessment- is over 627,000,000, while London's mil] Hamilton's are only in round numbers $11,000,000 and $18,000,- 000 respectively j and Toronto witli six times Winnipeg's population hns an assessment of less than two und a half tiuies ours, doing only $66,000,- 000." In justification of the position of Cunndn as the fifth maritime nation of tho world, it has been computed that since 1812, when 37 vessols were built at Quebec, a Canadian fleet of 7,374 vessels has sprung into existence, with a registered tonnage of 140,972. Tho figures of the other ,, provinces are respectively—Quebec, 1,733 and 216,577; New Brunswick, 1,101 and 315,906; Nova '- Scotia. 3,937 and 541,715; Prinoe Edward Islund, 241 nnd 49,440; British Columbia, 94 und 9,046; Manitoba, 24 and 2,778. This table, ■■ it may be remarked, only includes those vessels whicli are registered in Canada. Since Confederation the fleet of steamers has increased from 345, with an average tonnage .of 137.43, to 1,000 steamers, with an average tonnage of 242,32. Canada lias now 424 sailing vessels of over 1,00 tons each, in the ownership of which Nova Scotia loads tho wny with 168,. followed by Now Brunswick with 141, und Quebec with 15. The number of new vessels built and registered in tho Dominion during 1883 was 374, of a total estimated value of $3,333,050.— Christian Guardian, VOLUME 26 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. O., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1884. NUMBER 36 Sufferings or an Empress. Strange and sometimes pathetic are the ways of those royal households of which only the cold, Btately splendor meets the eye. How few, seeing the Empress of Germany fulfilling all the duties of her station, every inch a queen, would guess that for eighteen months, since her accident, sho has been racked with' almost intolerable pnin. Unable to walk or leave her chair, she had herself carried onen a week to the Augasta hospital and to tho Augusta fountain for the daughters of poor officers and those killed in battlo; both theso institutions m0 her owu work, {Rid she dispenses nf person consolation, advice,and commands, Every Sunday, well or ailing, she at tends divino service, not in hep private chapel or oratory, but jn one of the publio churches. > Ol* hutch deeper interest to'Ameii can observers thau the small and distant wars in which France and England are entangled is tho fast ripening project for the incorporation of tlio British West Indies with the ' Dominion. The visit to London at this time of Sir John A. Macdonald, the Canadian Premier, is believed to have for one of its main purposes uu energetic fiirthoruuco of .the annexation scheme; and Lord Derby is - reported to have already receded from the unfavorable uttitudo ut . first assumed, and to have signified a willingness to acquiesce iu the proposal. By tho acquisition of the British insular possessions in Caribbean waters the population and resources of the Dominion will be materially increased. In '381 the ter- . ritory controlled by the Ottawa gov- .' eminent contained 4,350,000 while • the British Wost India Islands, in- ' elusive of the Bahamas and Bermn- ' das, had about 1,260,000. In Ja- , tunica atone there were 550,000 souls in 1878, und three years later Bur badoes was credited with 171,000 and Trinidad with upward of 150, 000. Altogether the new accessions will be nearly equivalent in respect of population to the Province of Quebec. The present productive capacities of the three-chief islands may bo measured by nn abstract of the statistics covering the years 1865 to 1879. Thus, the average annual valuation of imports into Jamaica during that period was $6,735,000, against exports apprised at $6,790,- 000. Tho menu yearly receipts were $2,735,000, the expenditures $2,805,000, and (he transfer of merchandise involved the movement of 773,000 tons. Bavbadoes imported goods to tho amount of $5,115,000. Trinidad, which of all the islands is the most productive and self-sustaining, sent forth staples assessed at $11,325,000, and iu exchange took wares amounting to $11,115,000. , The carrying capacity of the vessels trading with Trinidad reached a mean annual total of 808,000 tons, and there was a considerable surplus of public income over outgo, the former being $2,125,000, against $1,180,000, The Islands of St. Lucia, Antigua, and Grenada nlso command a considerable trade, exhibit- 1 ing an aggregate movement of 612,- 000 tons and combined exports valued nt $3,135,000. If wo strike a balance sheet for all the British Antilles we find the exports exceed- ) ing $31,800,000, and the imports fulling but a littlo short of $29,000,. 000, whilo to offset an outlay of $6.- 620,000 there is a public revenue of $6,835,800, This is a better exhibit than was made by the Dominion itself, whose average expenditure during a part of the period under review exceeded tho receipts by nearly $8,000,000. It concerns ub to watch closely the progress of the annexation plan, for its fulfillment will no doubt be promptly followed by overtures for a treaty between the Dominion government and our own looking to . the freo admission of West Indian staples to the markets of this country.—Cor. y, r.

Those who aee nor lutut pas, covered with priceless jewels, robed iu her purple mantle fringed with heavy sables, do not realize that tho regal train intentionally thrown over her feet hides tho maimed; tortured limb, ns effectually as her sufferings aro concealed under the smile which she turns on the Emperor on her right, on the mistress of tho robes standing a little back on the loft, or on the ladies bending low before her in a triple courtesy as they pass. She who could best reveal the truth iind tell of noble endurance nnd brave patience is tho old Silesian woman who was brought from her peasant home in the provinces to give the sovereign relief by her deft manipulations. She has done nothing else since her childhood, nnd the professional gift of healing friction is hereditary in iter fumily, as it ia with many of the Silesian shepherds.

A lotter from Berlin contains a very interesting communication concerning tho alleged discoveries by Dr. Blendmann, a professor in the Royal Academy in Berlin, of evidences that tho moon is inhabited. Dr. Blendmann professes to havo discovered that thu telescopic observations mado up to tho presont time Imve givon a net-alive result on account of the excessive light which irradiates from the lunar disk and prevents np exact examination of the surface. Dr, Blendmann softened tho light by using the condensed smoke of camphor. Ho had' to mako hundreds of trials before finding tho exact incisure of softening required to obtain a perfect imago of the moon. He thon took with a reflecting telescopo a very detailed nnd correct photographic view of tho moon, which hu afterward exposed under a powerful solar microscope. The circle obtained in tho photograph had in tlio micrnscopu a diameter of over thirty-three feet. In this way, tho story is, he was able to perceivo that what have been believed to be seas aro really regions covered with rich vegotation, ond what havo always been taken for mountainous regions are deserts and seas. One can see, the letter says, witli striking distinctness, oities, towns and villages, and there are strong indications of industry and commerce. With a full moon Dr. Blendmann has obtained photographic views so distinct thnt they indicate that if larger tele* scopes could be used the discovery would bo still more completely confirmed, A True Story. "John, I wish you would chop a little stove wood before you go down town," said Mrs. Smith yeBterday morning, "for I have a big washing to-day." "I'd do it, Jane," suid Mr. Smith, "but I sprained my back yesterday while lifting and don't feel able." "Well, John, if that's the caso I'll try and do it myself. I know what it is to havo a lame bnck. Poor follow, hadn't I better put a plaster ou it for you?" "No, dear, I guess it will gut wull in a day or two. By the way 1 guess I'll go duwn a few minutes." As John sneaked off ho iclt nshnmed of himself. "What if she hnd asked how I hurt my back?" he thought. "I would havo been ashamed to tell her that I did it by lifting a barrel of whiskoy for a drink." Fivo minutes later ho wns seen mauling awny at a "striking machine," at 5 cents a blow, and it cost hi ul more for tho forty blows that ho struck than it would havo cost to buy thu wood and hire the washing for his poor sick wifo. He struck a blow 800 pounds heavier, too, than his neighbor across the street who chops wood for a living. Such is life. , .—■» Too Cute Tor Anything. "Are you going to make your husband a Christmas present this year?" inquired Mrs. Tilths of hur dear friend, Mrs. Sweet. "I'm afraid not," roapondod Mra. Sweet: "I was designing to, nnd had saved up quito a sum of money fur that purpose; but I saw such a lovo uf a bonnet that I could nut resist the temptation to buy it. I am afraid Mr. Sweet will have to go without his present. Shalt you give Mr. Tilths any* thing?" "Oh, yos. I shall give him just a splendid prosont." indeed? Whnt is it to bu?" I shall give him a box of thoso very expensivo cigars of which he is so fond, and whicli he complains that ho can so poorly afford to buy, "How have you managed to save ao muoh money?" "Oh, I haven't done it that.way. Whon he loaves his box carelessly on the library table I take uut one or two cigars and lay thom away carefully, so that by Christmas I shall have enough to fill a box," "What a perfectly lovely idea?

The statement of Dominion post 'office savings bank business for the month of September shows receipts, 9400,366; withdrawals, $441,700; balanco remaining nt credit of depositors, $13,684,045. The customs receipts nt Victoria for last month amounted to 9106,780, which fs 938,531 over the receipts for same period last year. This is the largest amount ever received in a single month. It will be seen by advertisement in another column that the str. Idaho is due from the Sound on Friday this week. We presume she hns been detained in connectiou with the presidential elections. An exchange snys: Persons who havo much filthy lucre to handle will be interested in learning that 925,600 in $20 gold pieces will weigh 100 pounds. This iB probably why most editors aro stoop shouldered. When the customs receipts at Vic* toria go over the previous record, the newspapers put up their hands nnd shout; but when the receipts fall short they are too much occupied otherwise even to notice tho circumstance. Judge Freese informs us that he saw a squad of eight Chinamen from New Westminster In the woods near Semiahmoo, A Deputy U. S.

On motion the offer of Mr. Armstrong was accepted. It was ordered that the sale of squares be indefinitely postponed.

Wordsworth never forgot the beauty of the Highland girl he saw at Inversnnid. Indeed, it iB said he had to recur to that Urnnt whon ho wished to pay a poetical compliment to his wife. For the rest, the way in whioh an educated Highland young lady speaks English is one of the moat delightful things in the world, though no doubt she would be very much surprised, aud even indignant, if she wns told thnt she had nny accent nt all. The Premier's Visit.—Tho Hou. Mr. Smithe has inaugurated a new system, and ono which we vory much commend, in visiting the interior of this province. We believe thut it is a long time Blnce a premier has set foot in our district, In uu other way is a minister uble to get accurate information of tho wants of the people. By traveling over the ruads, and conversing with everybody, he can obtaiu an idea of their desires and opinions,. It seems eminently proper, also, thnt the Chief Commissioner of Lands & Works woult jersonnlly inspect an important work liko the Eagle Pass Wagon Road. By so doing he is then ablo to judge us to the value to the country and of the manner in which thtr contract has beon carried out. This district is now tho most important one of the province, and its various wants must be granted nt the next session of the legislature or the whole country will be aet back, Spallumcheen, Okanagan, Similknmeen, etc., will be filled with numbers seeking homes, nnd improvements will be required throughout those districts referred to. The Big Bend nogion wilt need its trail connecting with the railway at Eagle Pass, Other portions of the Kamloops region will hnve their demands. By visiting all these places the lender of the Government nos set a laudable example which we hope will be followed in the future.—Kandoops Sentinel, Van Horne Again.—Mr. W. O.Van Home was interviewed by a Toronto Globe representative iu Montreal on the 23d ult. iu reference to tbe riots at Miohiplcuten, the Pacific coast terminus and the projected branch lines, Tho rumor Imd spread that the men were not being paid regularly, which was the cause of all the troubles. Mr. Van Horne stated that the men were paid regulnrly every month, tho expenditure being $1,100,000. Bud weather had caused a delay of a few days in the paymaster's reaching tho camps. It wob a dangerous experiment to send men witli hundreds of thousands of dollars in small tug boats.* The men hnd their' choice to take cash or due bills, payable at nny office of the Bank of Montreal. Being nsked whether the location of the Pacific terminus had yet been definitely fixed, he said that at present it had not, but he thought it more than likely that it would bo on tho mainland some distance west of Port Moody, where n good harbor could* be obtained. They were now considering the question of extensions and brunch lines iu Ontario, and he believed that one uf the lirst of tho extensions to be constructed would bo the ono from Ingorsnll through London and Chatham to tho Detroit rivor. The financial difficulty wns the only one they had to grapple with in the matter nnd by spring they would have thnt removed. Among the branch lines which were under consideration were some which, if built, would reach Goderioh, Kincardine, Guelph nnd other towns in Western Ontario, but there were none uf them fully decided upoh yet. The extensions, both west from Ingersotl to the Detroit river,nnd east from Smith's Falls to Montreal, would probably be built before any further branch lines nro constructed. Hundreds of letters from those using Ayer's Hair Vigor attest its value op a restorer of gray hair to its natural color. As a stimulant and tonic, preventing and often curing baldness, and cleansing and soothing the scalp, its use cannot be too strongly recommended. Overcharges.—Some officials of the Northern Pacific Railway and the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co. hnvo been visiting Victoria in the interests of their trade. The chief object of thoir visit was to make arrangements for rebates in cnBe of overcharge*. Mr. Robt. Irving was appointed local agent of the companies at Viotoria, and it has beon decided that ho shall pay all overcharges immediately whwi they aro brought to his notice, nud the O. R. & N. Oo, will collect thu amount represented by the overcharge from the company who made the mistake. Such nu arrangement must be extremely satisfactory to thai people of Victoria, and shows plainly that these companies are anxious to develop nnd retain the transcontinental trade of British Coiumbin. The snmu grievance hns existed for aomu time at this city. On some froight bills the ovor- ohni'gea have beon enormous, and grent delny nnd annoyance have been experienced sometimes in hnving the overcharges adjusted. It is to be hoped tho officers of the carrying companies will consider the propriety of extending to this city the same privilege they have given to Victoria. Our trade is not yet so large ns that of the capital, but it is growing aud will be worth looking after. When the C. P, R, has been completed our facilities for receiving oastern freights will be much better than those of Victorin, and it is therefore of grent importance that the O. R. & N. Co. should afford us evory reasonable nc- cummodatiou if it wishes to retain our patronage. Mr, Gladstone's versatility is renew- edly shown by the announcement thnt he is to rend n pnpor on music nt u church congress in England, It is snid that the Premier's capacity for psalmody has been displayed a hundred limes in the somi-publioity of church aud other services. There nre also people who, iu the Gladstone household, have hoard the gentleman sing a very charming ballad to Mrs. Gladstone's accompaniment. Trial proves that honesty is the best polioy in medicine ns well ns in othor things, Ayer's Sarsaparilla ia a genuine preparation, an unequalled blood purifier, decidedly superior to nll others, • Deliberate Murder! A GUARD 8H0T IN COLD BLOOD I Yesterday morning tho city was thrown into some excitement by the report that a guard had been deliberately shot at the penitentiary. Upon enquiry it turned out that the report was only too terribly true. Four guards named respectively, Sterry, Roberts, Hicky, and Rogers, lodged in n house about a quarter of a mile from the penitentiary,'formerly occupied by Rev. Mr. Bnskett. Sterry, Roberts and Hiokey occupied one room and Rogers occupied another. Yesterday morning Sterry got up as usual nnd went to a small room off the kitchen to wash. While eugnged in this act it seems thnt Rogers got up, went to the* door of the room, and deliberately fired at him with his revolver. The other guards hoard the firing, but ns there was no other noiso they nover for a moment suspected the reul truth. Sterry seems to have turned round, and Rogers fired two more shots, overy ono of whioh took effect, and after Sterry fell he tired at him again. Roberts, who roomed with Sterry, heard an exclamation nnd ran to the room where he saw the prostrate form of Sterry, and Rogers standing near the door with the revolver in his hand. Rogers cocked the pistol again and said to Roberts, ''If you open your mouth' I'll shoot you." Roberts went off und gave the alarm. Rogers loft tho house, walked into the city, nearly a mile and a half, and delivered himself up nt tho gaol. As Boon as a report of the matter reached the penitentiary, Warden McBrido despatched n guard to secure Rogers, but before he had overtaken him the murderer hnd surrendered hinisolf. Coroner Trew was notified and held an inquest in the afternoon, tho jury finding that deceased came to his death from a gun shot in the hnnds of Rogers. Tlie coroner did not commit the prisoner but decided to place the matter in tho hands of n magistrate, and it is probable the caso will come up,fur hearing to-day. The slayer and hiB victim were both from England, and hnd been about five or bix months nt the penitentiary. They were quiet and efficient guards, and it wns not known that bad blood existed between them. It is reported that Sterry had accused Rogers of theft some time ago, apd that Rogers took this fearful revenge upon him, Thuy wore both young men, about 35 yenrs of ago. Rogers is now in gaol, and appears quite unconcerned about his position. It is one of the most deliberate murders on record. Victor Hay Press. Tlie "Victor Hay Press," which I lately bought from Mr. E. Prengel, gives perfect satisfaction, and I have been testing it pretty well. I consider it the best press thnt evor came lo this province. The claims for the superiority uf it have been fully sustained, and, as it is the cheapest of the standard presses, I recommend it to ray neighbors. I made the finest bales yet I ever have seen, weighing up to 310 lbs., 20x24x70, running them through in 4 minutes. (Signed,) Chas, Sexsmith. North Arm, Nov. 3,1884. r m The Injunction Case. This case came before the Chief Justice, at Victoria, last Friday. The Colonist gives tho following roport: Alexander Ewen, plaintiff ; the Corporation of the City of New Westminster, et al., defendants. Mr. Pooley, with whom wu Mr. Bole, moved for an injunction to restrain the defendants from selling the Merchant Square, under the land salo by-law, 1884. Reading the affidavit of the plaintiff, whioh set out that Meroltnnt Square was dedicated to the public uso as a public square by Colonel Moody in 1850 ; that the proposed Bale was in-' jurious to plaintiffs property, adjoining said property; that the council had failed to comply with the uot of 1884 authorizing the Bale, inasmuch ns they did not deposit a mnp with the reserve colored rod in the lnnd registry office; that the counoil tirst passed a by-law whoreon the vote of the ratepayers was to be taken on the 18th day of July, 1884, the mnyor irregularly summoned a special meeting of the council, without issuing a proper summons in that bohalf, and that at the hour fixed, namely, 3 p. m., no member of the council attended, and the clerk, without lawful authority in that behalf, adjourned the meeting till 8 o'clock that eveuing. At that hour an irregular meeting took place and said by-law waa repealed and notice of motion given to introduce a new by-law-, the one now objected to ; a voluminous quantity of newspapers and mnps. His Lordship—Hnve you any evidence to show that, on the 18th day of February, 1884, there was no map col ored red showing the reserves deposited in the land registry office ? Mr. Pooley—Mr. Bole'B affidavit clearly sets out that no suoh map was deposited. Mr, Drake contended thnt the subsequent deposit in the Innd registry office, New West mi nfter, was a compliance with the act. Hia Lordship—No, it is not. In my opinion the act is a nullity. The omission to deposit the map is fatal, aa without the map tho act cannot be rightly understood. I think the council should take caro what they are doing. I grant the injunction asked for.

The stablo in whicli he keeps his horse is good onough for my family. You hire me ?" And further, how would I like it if my trustees should say to me: "You and your family muat meet tliis competition, or this truly eminent divine must take your place!" Well, such is tho weakness of human naturo—I wouldn't like it at all; and as I and my family nre a great deal nearer to me, and iu my judgment, much more valuable to tho country than my friend from China and his would be, if I could prevent this state of affairs, I think I'd try! Again, to carry the theory into the pure ether of political life, Senator Hoar, with a comfortable bank account that no Chinese immigration could touch, made a thrilling speech some time ago from his place in the Senate, in favor of this immigration, and against the intolerance of refusing to welcome the Chinaman witli open arms to be a partaker of the workinginon's bread, of course, but not of the rolls eaten by the families of Senators. Exactly I But bow would tho Senator view the subject should he receive a letter from liis constituents, informing him that a statesman from China had lately arrived in Worcester, aud had kindly offered to do the work of a Senator for the aforesaid 8250 or 8300 per annum, and requesting him to be so obliging as to take an early train for him, where alas! he Bhould find on his arrival that numerous other Chinese gentlemen had From Clinton.

When tliu latter wurk is printed it will occupy several large volumes. Chinese immigration. From tbo New York Evangelist. While this is one of the burning questions that confront the American people, the entire subject seems to have been discussed from a wrong standpoint, and with but m partial view, too, of what this immigration involves for a large and valuable portion of the population. Chinese immigration has been urged aud defended by one class of our citizens only, the upper or brain-working class, as It is termed—the capitalists, manufacturers, merchants, clergymen, and would-be statesmen—the very persons, who as a matter of fact, are not injured and whose incomes are not adversely affected, but if anything, rather benefitted thereby. In my judgment, and as I shall endeavor to substantiate, there is in tins fact a heartless selfishness—even though it bu unintentional -towards our poorer and less fortunate brethren, and a blindness to what is really best for the publio welfare, absolutely Inconceivable, Lot us see precisely whore tliis immigration strikes, There is iu this land such au institution as the workingmau's family. An institution not only of a very high grade, but of a proportionate publio value. At* lowing for all exceptional casos, the workingmau's home in this country is the beat and most prosperous of its class on earth. That this is so, is largely due to tho high rate of wages thu man has received, and which It is as muoh his right to receive as It is his employer's duty to pay. I use the terms "right to receive" and "duty to pay," because the American workingman, as the best of Ida type, and as a vital factor in nil that constitutes tho public wen), has rights hore which must bo respected; rights to prosperity and to tho means by which thnt prosperity is to be attained, and which, in view of tho general well-being of a bud, are to be recognized quite as clearly ns nro those by which his employer swells his fortune. Chiuose immigration, by reason of tho Chinaman's willingness to work for comparatively nothing, strikes directly at these rights of the workingman and at the best interests of his household; which, if correctly viewed, are not only as dear to him, but quite as valuable tithe nation, ns nre those of nny other' olass of its citizens, Now, tho American workiugmnn and his family cannot exist aud retain their prosperity, their comfort, their decency, nnd llieir worth to the ualloii at the wnges a Chinaman would bu glad to receive; nnd I aftlrin that this quality of the workhigmau ami Ids homo-which exists and is t<> be perpetuated by a comparatively high rate of wages—canuot be lowered without great publio injury. Wo Bhould remember that this is not a question of competition between American cltieens, but between Americans and barbarians; nnd that as a factor in national prosperity, a barbarian, even If he will work for lower wnges, is not as conducive to tho country's welfare ns an American who demanda a higher rato. 1 hnve said that Chiueso immigration is urged nml defended by the upper or brain-working classes, and by thom with nn apparent Indifference to Its effect on the hnnil-workers as hcnrtlosa as it Ib unwise. Let mo mnke nu argument am ad hominem application of tins theory, and see how it would work, I receivo from my church wages to the amount of $ . Thia enables me to have tliose comforts and to make that proviafon for my family In the way of clothing, food, education, aud general well-being, so necessary in onr American viow to tlio proper environments of the home. Now, placing my work upon tho purely wngo-basia, to which the working- man and his family muat come, how would I like It If the Rev. .John China impartially distributed themselves in all other vocations and callings, thnt as a matter of fact the distinguished Senator Bhould find it impossible to support his family, unless by bringing them down to the plane and tho wngea of his friends froin Vang-tse-KiaugT How would the Senator like that? And if such were actually the startling conditions of the problem, I should be pleased to inquire whether they would, or would not, be likely to work any modification of his views touching the intolerance of-*—-? It may be difficult to imagine the income of the Senator being thus suddenly swept away; but tbat precisely is what the logic of his speech would do for ttie workingman. And Is that any less painful for him than for a cultured statesman from Massachusetts! Just here lie the pith and marrow of the whole case: that we do not atop to think that these aro literally the terrible facts which Chinese immigration would force the workingman and his family to face. Would the Senator like the chalice pressed to his own lipsf < But perhaps lie might rise and blandly say, "Ah yes; quite so! But a wise Providence has so ordered it that the Senator business Is a matter of brain, and uot of hand-work. The Chinaman, through his lock of ability and education, is unfortunately debarred from occupying the* position I adorn, and consequently, as I and my family cannot be affected by the immigration I so eloquently advocate, and as It touches only the workingman And his interests, all mon of unbiased minds must readily see the intolerance of ." Which simply means that the Senator and pretty much the entire class he represents, are very eaaily reconciled to other people's troubles. Has it then come to this, that the more fortunate, the wealthier, the brain- working classes in this country Bhall favor Chinese immigration simply because it docs not touch their pockets, their comforts, their domestic interests, while they look with utter indifference at the way in which it militates against these blessing* when possessed by tliat vast and invaluable class of citizens, tho hand-workers of the nation? - To my mind there was nothing in all the horrors of Slavery which evinced a more heartless brutality, a meaner selfishness, or a more inconceivable blindness to the welfare of the republic, than this. The prosperity of the hand-workingman, which depends on living wages for him and his faintly, is indissolubly connected with our own; and they who os brain-workers arc safe from tliis com- fiotltion, are yet willing to injure their land-working brothers, would do well to remember tho words pf Whlttier— "That laws of eliangolcSHS justice bind Oppressor with opim-sund; Ana closo ns sin and sutterlng Joined, We march to Fate abreast." g To mo it is inconceivable how the so- called npp r olasses of Americans, if they believe in the value of our civilization, can approve of Chinese immigration, unless they are willing to have it strike them precisely where it does the hand-workingmant iu the immense diminution, if not the complete destruction, of the Incomes on which they are to live. I do not believe there is a man in those "upper classes" who would favor Chi* nese immigration if he knew tt wonld absolutely destroy his means of living— not one. What right has he then to favor it when he knows it will do just that to the band-worker! I do believe, however, and most certainly hope that the workingman who loves his dear ones would not submit to this wrong, which would tend simply to put hts decrease in wages into his employer's pockets, without a resistance that would cause tho ears of our American Israel to tingle as did those of the Israel of old. When the country Is prosperous, when corporations and manufacturers (as heaven knows) are making money fast enough, what moral right have they to seek for an increase of wealth through the infernal machinery nf a competition that would destroy tho prosperity of so largo ond valuable a portion of tbe population as tho hand- workingmen and their households? And shall onr legislation on this subject be entirely for the benefit of the rich mnn, while it not only utterly ignores, but tends to completely break down, the prosperity of tho poor mnn, who by tho sale of his labor alone may find the means to shelter ull that hv holds dear ou earth? The workiuginaii knows his strength; and tho party tliat should venture ou tliis outrage would be hurled so fur from life, that the tru pet of Wain-id wonld fait to call It iu time for the general resurrect inn. Hero then is my view of Chinese immigration: Wc should have it for American tin ml-workers just ns soon ns American brain-work ers are willing tn have It for themselves.

Berlin, Oct. 211.—A feature of tho elections in Germany has been the enormous increase of the Socialist vote in Berlin nnd other cities, The strength of that party in tho next German parlla- mcit will probably be double that in the last.

New York, Oct. 20.— The Commercial Bulletin has interviewed Captain Bedford Pirn, of the British navy, who reiterates his declaration that the Panama canal, as now being constructed, is im practicable, He says: "I heard down there that De Lesscps intends to visit the isthmus during tho dry season of 1886, to inaugurate! the completed section from Aspinwall to Gatson, about seven miles. He wil find the actual cutting less than two miles, with only water euough to admit the passage of a small steamer, by an entrance in Simon bay, and auch as would disgrace the merest tyro in his profession. It certainly will surprise even De Lessens himself." The captain also writes to the Sun the following conclusion, after a careful consideration of liis notes and observations: First—The Panama canal, at sea level, cannot possibly be completed for any reasonable sum of money, or within any reasonable time. Second—Yellow fever has now become epidemic, and the climate consequently is more or loss de&dly. Many thousand em- Siloyeca of the oanal works have already alien victims to Ito attacks. Third—There is anxious desire on the part of many of the natives of Panama to secede from the United States of Colombia, and that this secession is now being worked out, with theideaof inducing the French to extend their protection over the new and independent state of Panama, The connivance is not actual, but the participation of the French in this idea is more than conjectural, for the obvious reason that it ia as much to their interest. Indeed, it means life or death to the canal works. Cairo, Oct. 30.—There will be a general movement of the British forces up the Nile next week.

A REMARKABLE STORI. * This very uncertainty pleased her imagination, and inclined her to the new-comer. But it was embarrassing tn Iind herself in tho midst of a scene where so many confusing, uncompre- hended elements were at work, nnd where something which was not family harmony and peace lay evidently under the surface. When she roso up to go away, the unknown rose too, but the captain wns on the alert. - "You can now go back to your gossip," he said, "my dear; for I mean to see Hester round the corner." "No, Captain Morgan. It .Byery damp, and your rheumatism—" "Bah! my rheumatism. Thore are worse things than my rheumatism," he said, bustling to get his cont. "Might I not replace you, grandfather? It would bo a pleasure, nnd I have no rheumatism." This idea pleased Hester. It would be only for a moment* but ho was something new. She was so sadly familiar with evory person and thine about that any novelty was delightful to her. But the captain wus not to be shaken off. He pushed Ronnld back into his seat. "There are worse things than rheumatism," he said. And he scrambled into Iub coat and took Hester under his arm with unwonted formality. She felt annoyed and angry beyond description—vexed at her old friend. Why should ho interrupt tho innocent talk? Why interfere su pointedly to prevent the simplest communication betwoen her and tho stranger? A mero politeness, whero could have been tho harm of that? And thon it was quite unnecessary that anybody should see her home. That the old man should risk nn illness to- do this, when she had bo often run unattended from one door to the othor, was mure irritating than words could say. And,, what was worst of all, it mado the captain hss perfect iu her opinion—tho captain of whom she had felt, that all the rest of the world -failiug her, hero was still an excellence upon which she could fall back. Since they had como in, though the interval was short, tho autumn evening had closed in completely. It was very damp and cold. The Common lay in a whito mist; tho sky hazy, with a fow faint stars looking down through veils of vapor; the atmosphere heavy. "Why should you come out to catch cold?" Hester'said. "I want no ono. I am quite able to take care of myself." "And jl want no one, my dear, except myself, to have anything to do with you,"said ths old man. "lam not afraid to toll you my manning without disguise." "Then stand nt the door while I run homo," she pleaded; hut ho would not spare her a step of the way- Ho hobbled along to the veranda, with his comforter twisted about his throat and mouth, speaking out of tha folds of it with a muffled voice. "If it was any girl but you I should bo afraid -to say it, lest the mere contradict ion 'might be enough for them; but with you I am not afraid," hs aaid. Was his confidence justified? Was Hester too wise to be moved by that hint of opposition—that sense that a thing which is forbidden must be pleasant? It is dangerous to predict of any one that tliis will be the case; and perhaps the captain did his best to falsify his own hope. He took her to the very-door and saw her admitted, as if there might' he a chance up to the lost moment of the alarming grandson still producing himself to work her harm; and then he hobbled back in the gathering mists. He oven stood lingering'nt^bis own door beforo he went in to the fireside nud tho cheerful light. . "Neithefti'. Catherine nor Hester, neither' the young jior the old," he Baid to himself. In his onrnestness he repeated the words half aloud, "Neither Catherine nor Hester, neither monoy nor lovo." And then thore came something of scorn into tho old man's voice; "If Jits' father's son is capable of hve," he said. * #*■' * * # "I liko your Ronnld," said Misa Vernon*,-*: She had.-cnme to my one of her usual visits to Her old relations. The grandson whom Hester hnd made acquaintance with without seeing his face had now be«n uuarly a week nt the Vernonry, and was known to everybody about. The captain's precautions had, of course, come to nothing, He liad gune, as in duty bound, to pay his respects to the grent lady who was his relation, too, though in a Tur-off degree, and he had plensed her. Catherine thought of nothing loss than of giving n great pleasure to her old friends by her pruiao. "He is full of news and information, which is n godsend to us country folks, and he is very good*looking, qui ne gate rim." Mrs. Morgan looked up from her place by the fireside with a smilo of pleasure. She sat folding her peaceful old hands with an nir of beatitude, which, notwithstanding her content, had not been upon her countenniico hefore the young man's arrival. "That is a great pleasure to me, Catherine, to know that you like him, said thu old. lady, "He seems to me all thnt, nnd kind besides.'' "What I should hnve expected your grandson to be," said Catherino. "I want him to sou tho peoplo hore, and make a few acquaintances. I don't ■ iippnen out' liUlopaoplo nb UedDorollgll can be of muoh importance to a young man in town; still, it is a pity to neglect an opportunity, He is coming to dine with me to-morrow—as I supposo he told yau." • The old lady nodded her head several timet, with tho same soft smile of happiness. "Vou aro always good," she snid; "you havo done everything, Catherine, for me and my old man, But, if you want to go straight to my heart, you Know the way lies through the - children—-my poor Katie's boys." "I am ulad that the direct route is eo etuy," Miss Vernon snid, in her fi nu, Urge, benoficent way; "at least in this case. The -ithun X don't know." Captain Morgan came und stood botween his wife and the visitor. To be aure, it waa to the firo he went, by Which he posted himself with his back to it, aa is the right of every Englishman. His countenance woro o troubled look, very different from the happiness of his wife's. He stood like a barrier betwoen them, a non-conductor intercepting the pauago of gonial sentiment. "My dear Catherine." he said, with a little formality. "I don't wish to be unkind, nor to .check your kindness; but you must recollect that though he li poor KatieV hoyt ■*»," poor soul, had nothing to ■ do with the upbringing of him, nnd that, in abort, we know nothing about him, tt hai been ny prin^yt)ijktib*;of !atey«us| to insist upon living my own life." "All thnt, my kind old uncle, is understood," said Cathorino. "Thero aro a great many people, I believe, who nre better than their principles, and you are one of them—that is all. I understand that you know nothing about him. You are only a man, which is a groat drawback, but it is not to be helped; wo know, though we have Been no more osahim than you have. iBn't it so?" She leaned forward a little, and looked across at the old lady, who smiled and nodded in return. Old Mrs. Morgan was not disturbed by her husband's disagreement. It did not even mako her angry. She took it with perfect composure, beaming over her own discovery of hor grandson, and the additional happinesB it gave her. "My old man," she said, "Cathorine, hns his own ways of thinking— we nll know that; and sometimes he will act upon them, but most commonly not. Ouo thing I know, he will never shut his doors on his own flesh nnd blood, nor deny his old wife what is hor greatest pleasure—the thing that has been wanting to me all the time—all tho timo! I scarcely know what it was. And if the boy had been distant or strange, or showed thnt ho know nothing about us, still I Bhould have boon content. I would havo Baid, 'Let him go; you woro right, Rowley, and not I.' But it is not so," the old lady went on, after a pause; "there's love in him. I remember when the girls were married thero wns something I always Boemed to want. I found out what it wns whon tho first grandchild was burn, It was to feel n baby in my arms again—that was what I wanted. I don't know, Cathorino," Bho added, with humility, "if you will think tliat foolish?" "If I will understand-—Uut is what you are doubtful of—for I am.nn old maid, nnd never had, bo to speak, a baby in my arms; but I do understand," fluid Catherine, with a little moisture in her oyes, "Well, and this great, handsome follow, a mnn of the world, iB ho your baby that you wanted bo muoh?" "Pooh!" snid tho old captain. "Tho grent advantage of being an old maid, as you Bay, is thnt you are above tho prejudices of paroutage. It is possible to get you to henr reason. Why Bhould my life bo overshadowed per- manently by tho action of another? That is what I ask, Why should I be responsible for one who is not ino, nor of my mind?" "Listen to him! You would think thnt was nll he knows," said Mrs. Morgan; "there, is no fathoming that old mnn, my dear.'' "What I have to say iB, that we know nothing of this young mau," snid the captain, shaking his shaggy head ns if to shako off his wife's comments, "You will exercise your own judgment, but don't take him on mine, for I don't know him. Ho is well enough to look at; ho has plenty to sny for himself; I daro suy ho is clever enough. Form your own judgment and act upon that, but don't come and sjy it's our fault if he disappoints you; thnt is nil I have to say. Excuse tne, Catherine, if I take a walk even whilo you are here, for this puts mo out— I allow tt puts me out," Captain Morgan said. "What has made him take this idea?" said Miss Vernon, when Gap- tnin Morgan hod hobbled out. "Oh, my denr, lie has Iub fancies liko another. We havo hnd many things to put up with, and he thinks whon it comes to the second generation—he thinks we bave a right to peace nud quiet in our old age.1' "And so you have," snid Catherine, gravely, "so you have." Shu did not ask any questions. Neither sho nor ony ouo knew whnt it wns with which, in the other part of their lives, theso old people hnd been compelled to "put up." Nor did tho old lady sny. She answered, softly, "Yes, I think so too. Peace is sweet, but it is not life." "Some people would sny it was better." "Thuy never knew, those ..people, what life was. I like to see the children come and go—one here, one there. One in need of your sympathy, another of your help, another—oh, Catherine, even that!—of yonr pardon, my dear." This mndo her pause and brought, what was su minimal, a little glistening moisture to tho old lady's eyes. She was silont for a moment, nnd smiled, perhaps to efface the impression Bho hnd made. "If you can do nothing olse fur them, you can nlwnys do thnt," she said, Cathorine Vernon, whu wan sixty- fivn, und know herself to be an old woman, looked at the other, who was over eighty, as n girl looks nt hor mother—wondering at hor strange experiences, feeling herself a child in presence of a knowledge that is not hers. She had not experience enough to understand this philosophy. She looked a littlo nt hor companion, wondering, nnd then she said, Booth- ■n8-yi "Wo must not dwell upon painful subjects. This young fellow will not nppenl to you so. What I like in him is his independence. Ho has his own opinion, nnd ho oxpresuos it freely. His society will be vory good for my nephew Edward. If he has a fault— nnd, indued, I dnu't think that boy hns many—it is that he is diffident about his own opinion, Ronald, if ho stays loug onough, will help to curo him of that. And how does tlio other nffair go on?" she added, with a perceptible pause, and in a voice which wns a little constrained. "**« -1..-.M tlioru in grent triumph next door." Old Mrs. Morgan shook hor hend, "It is curious whnt mistakes wo all make," she Baid. "Mistakes! Do you mean thnt I nm mistaken nbuut tho triumph? Well, they lmvo very good reason. I should triumph, too, if, having boen turned out of a great houso liko Mrs, John, I managed to get baok again, nnd re- coyer all thut I hnd lost by menus of a thing so entirely my own creation na a daughter. Evon n son would hnve been different, I supposo. You know I am not n judgo on that point," Gatherum Raid, with a laugh. The old lady continued to shako har head slowly. "Tho only one that has not mado a mistake is Harry. If ho could have cot what he wanted, it would havo beon the best thing thnt cuuld havo happened. There is no complication nbout that. Por liim it would hnvo been the host." "Do you inunii to say," snid Cathorino, her eyes lighting up with that firo of curiosity and interest which overcomes oven the languor of ago— du you mean to say that ho is not to got what he wishes? Oh, this is too much! That girl is eaten up with pride. What is aim saving horself for, I wonder? What can ahe expect?"
