Berlin, Marcti 18.—In well informed political circles it is announced the differences between the Emperor William and Prhico Bismarck consists of the refusal on the part of tlie chancellor to accede to the request of Herr Windthorst, leader of the church party, to restore to tlie Duke of Cumberland, claimant of the throne of Hanover, the larger part of the Guelph fund. The report is repeated to-day that General von Caprioi, commander of the tenth army corps, will be tendered tlie chancellorship. Dr. Windthorst stated in the Lower House of the Prussian Diet to-day when public worship estimates came up for discussion, that It had been his intention to review the position of the Catholics in Prussia, hut owing to the uncertainty of the political situation he eon- cludeu u» pn«tnone his remarks. AU members of the i'mr-ian ministry resigned when Prince Blsm-enV tendered his resignation. A Winning Game. London, March 18.—The outlook for victory for the striking miners grows more favorable hourly. It looka now as if the men would surely win. Many more of the mine owners iu Nottinghamshire and Lancashire have conceded the demands of the men. The feeling Is growing that the men will refuse to meet on Thursday the committee of owners appointed for the purpose of conferring with the men and adjusting their differences. It is believed the men will insist on their demands in full. Tho Btrike of the Liverpool- dock laborers on the other hand shows signs of collapsing, the leader of the strike having lost control of the men, and the latter are very much disposed to arbitrate. New hands are arriving at a rapid rate. An Important Meeting. London, March 18,—Lord Salisbury haa summoned all his supporters to ii meeting at the Carlton Club on Thursday next. It is announced Important matters are to be discussed. A despatch from Berlin states a rumor is current in that city to the effect that the entire ministry has resigned. Scarcity of Fuel London, March 18.—Tlie supply of coat, owing to tho strike of the minors, is rapidly growing less. The cotton mills, on account of tlie scarcity, have shut down at Accringtou, Bluckburn, Burv & Bolton, The South Western Railway Co. has been compelled to stop waiting room fires. Wigging' Smasher.

London, Mar. 18.—Tlie Queeu was looking very well again last weok, though not quite bo pleasant as at tho last drawing room. She did not stay all tho time, so many missed seeing her. She sat a good deal, for Bhe cannot now stand very long or go up stairs, and on her visits to Lady Ely and the Duchess of Fife bIic wfls received on both occasions down stairs. Rheumatism, from which .her majesty Ib suffering and which lias become chronic since her fall, has caused a contraction of the muscles of odd leg. It does not impair her general health, as she is well and looks so, but there Is no disguising the fact, which every one admits, that the Queeu lias aged considerably in the last two years. The Victoria and Albert is to be escorted across the channel by the Osborne. Galatia and Enchantress. The Queen will arrive at Cherbourg at four o'clock Wednesday. She will sleep and dine ou the yacht. Thursday morning she will go direct to Aix Los BaineB, where she will arrive early on Friday. Sho will stay three weeks and return to Windsor by tho same route. The Queen Ib to reside at Aix Lea BaineB in the villa Victoria, the annex of the Hotel Del Europe. The queen's horses and carriages and table servants, with the heavy baggage and Her Majesty's favorite chair and donkey which draws it, have arrived at Aix. THE EX-EMPBESS. The Empress Eugenie has rented a villa at Florence, where she will reside the greater part of the autumn. She occupied this same house 14 years ago. ONLY A PHOTOailAPH. One of the losses most acutely felt hy the Queen of the Belgians in the recent fire at Laekeu, was the destruction of the only picture in existence of her son, the young Duke of Brabant, who died in 1800. Hebelno, the well-known Belgian painter, has contrived to reproduce the portrait from a faded photograph. Queen Henrietta, who inspected the work, was delighted with the extraordinary skill displayed in its execution. TUB QUEEN'S SYMPATHY. The Queen felt Sir Howard Elphln- stone's death intensely and those who saw her at the time described how much she wept at the news, and to everyone to whom she spoke during her stay iu London, she described her fellings of sorrow at his loss, and grief at losing one of her oldest and most attached servants. She had seen him recently before he died, aa he dined at Windsor to say farewell to the Queen, prior to his departure for a six wcekB1 trip to recruit his health, which had suffered much from inilu- eliia. MODEST P111NOB OEOUOK. If true, it is not surprising that Prince George of Wales begged that he may not held in $10,000 bail for bribery, Other arrests are expected this afternoon. Dominion Parliament. Ottawa, March 17.—In the House of Commons to-day the debate was resumed on Sir Richard Cartwright'B resolution declaring that the conduct of Mr. Rykert in relation to the Cypress Hills timber limit was discreditable, corrupt and scandaloUB. Mr. Kirk- patrick moved an amendment hi favor of referring the matter to the committee on privileges, which was seconded by Hon. P. Mitchell. In course of the debate Mr. Laurier spoke Btrongly against the proposal to refer tho matter to a committee, claiming that there was nothing to refer. Mr. Blake made a judicial speech, pointing out that there was nothing to refer to the committee, but urging that Mr. Rykert should have an opportunity to Btate beforo tho House anything further that he had to Bay. Sir J. 8. D. Thompson, in a Bpeech of the same tone as Mr. Blake's, urged a reference to tlie committee, promising there would bo no delay aud that tlie report, whatever it was, would be accepted. The Premier backed this by the extraordinary promise that the committee would sit as the opposition desired and not adjourn without the consent of their representative. As tho Opposition opposed the proposal of the committee, fearing it was a scheme to whitewash Rykert or delay the proceedings, Mr. Laurier, in view of the pledges, agreed to accept the proposal; There was general applause at this solution of the difficulty. NORTH ARM NOTES. (From Our Own Correspondent,) North Arm, March 18,1890. Tho weather grows warmer and more spring-like every day. Frogs bold nightly concerts. "And the yellow catkins cover all the slender willows over." Early gardening has commenced in the preparation of hot beds, transplanting of shrubbery, Ac. . The Fairy Queen is doing a good busi- bss. Westminster merchants must find North Arm trade worth something, judging from the number of passengers that daily crowd the steamer nnd the quantities of goods of various kinds that she leaves at the different landings. New settlers continue to arrive. A gentleman from Ontario has purchased Sfiacres adjoining Mr. Walter's lot. . \\ e ..-«., 8orry to learn that some person or persum. i.«yP wantonly tired several shots through the ..in^twsof the little church at the South Arm, i: -. bullets reaching the opposite wall. We are ut a loss to understand the motive that would prompt such au action. It surely could not have beeu an indignity offered to Rev. Messrs. Thompson aud Jaffniy, In return for their faithful and zealous services rendered in that place, the former for the past year and a half, tlie latter since August last. However, the guilty parties will need in the future to take care, as they are being looked after. Work on the bridge is progressing favorably. Inspector Balfour made his first visit last week. Councillor Magee is meeting with good success in obtaining tlie signatures of residents concerned in the scheme for opening a canal through tho island to Westminster. If the required number is obtained, the Council will then proceed with the work. PERSONAL. Miss Edith Robinson, accompanied by her little nephew, spent a couple of days at home last week, returning to Westminster high school ou Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Vermllyea returned from Vancouver via Westminster on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. C Murray, of Westminster, spent Sunday ut tlie North Arm, the guests of Mrs. W. Carscalleu. A volley of musketry from both Hides of the river greeted Capt. Youugo on his arrival lust evening ut his accustomed headquarters, ScxBinith's landing, this being his first trip since his return from tlie east. Reeve Sexsmith and Mr. Tuttle left by the Fairy Queen this morning for Vancouver nnd Victoria. *—•—* KAMLOOPS NOTES. ST. LEONARD'S HALL. The Cornerstone of'the New Parish Building Laid This Afternoon With Imposing Masonic Ceremonies. The laying of the comer stone of St Leonard's Hall, the new parish building in connection with Holy Trinity Cliuvch, took place this afternoon during a heavy downpour of rain. The occasion had created general interest and many hundred people turned out to witness the ceremony, but the rain rather spoiled its effectiveness. Tlfb turnout of the fraternity was larger even than expected, and the procession marching up Columbia street presented quite an imposing appearance. Many members of Holy Trinity choir were among the audience, and rendered good service in assisting the brethren in the singing of the odes. Tlie Lodge was opened in the lirat degree and tlie Muster announced tlie purpose of tho meeting iu consonance with the invitation of the Ixird Bishop of Westminster, after which a procession was formed and proceeded to the place of ceremony. The Director of Ceremonies formed the procession in the following order: Tyler, with drawn Sword, Stewards, with Rod., i% ■ Entered. Apprentices, -' - - Fellow Crofts, Visiting Brethern, Past Wardens, Brethern of Union Lodge, Pust Musters. Superintendent of Works, with smiaro. level and plumb.

W, Grand*Master", Deacon, Director of Ceremonies. When the head of the procession arrived at tlie objective point, tho brethern halted, opened to the right and left, and uncovered. The Grand Master, Master and hiB officers passed through the lines to the platform. The rest of the brethern surrounded the platform (inside the circle of spectators), forming a hollow square. ...The Master was then seated in front of the ueutrc of the platform, immediately Atirflnmded by the prinei licet* of thti LWlg6; Wp°n tejjjm were UisiJps.lfcY, •earer_il of Constitute yffitings, L-sselsM. bepromoted while still occupying so tumor a place, It Is no secret that tin hike of Edinburgh regrets tlie excep tional way in which he was pushed upward In the navy, with the result that he finds himself practically shelved at 46.

A wedding was celebrated iu the Presbyterian church on Tuesday evening last, the contracting parties being Miss Cnsslo Douglas and Mr. Jus. Mc Arthur, both of Kamloops. Tho evangelistic services in the Methodist church during the past week have been largely attended, and an exceedingly hopeful and encouraging interest appears to have been aroused. Mr. J. N. J. Brown, of Chilcoten, paid a visit to Kamloops last week. He reports a severe winter in the Chilcoten valley, with a heavy full of snow. No serious loss of stock is anticipated, how ever, as there was plenty of feed in tho country and the rangos will afford plenty of provender when the snow leaves. Mr. W. H. Whlttakor is making preparations for the erection of a handsome residence on his lot on Victoria street, The plans show a very pretty two storey cottage of the Queen Anne style of architecture. The building will cost upwards of three thousand dollars and will be one of tho finest residences in the town. A branch of the Mainland Association has been formed in Kamloops, with tho following officers and executive: Dr. Tunstall, president; J. S. Bennett, secretary; executive committee—1?. H, Robson, W.

Croucher, ofiercd the following prayer: And now, O God of Israel, who saidst in the beginning, Let there be light, runt us to perform this service unto !hee in holiness; tliat.evermore guarded by Thy power, and guided into tlie Light of Truth,we may continually,render unto Thee all Glory and Thanksgiving, world without end.—Amen, so mote it be. Tlie Director of Ceremonies, W.-Bro. Buie, then proclaimed silence and said: By authority of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Masons of the Province of British Columbia, and in obedience to the order of the Worshipful Muster of Union Lodge, I do now command aud require all persons here assembled to preserve silence and to observe due order and decorum during the ceremonies of this occasion. Bishop Sillitoe, the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, then invited M. W. Grand Master J. S. Clute to commence tho core- monies, which work tlie Grand Master deputed to V. W. Bro. Charleson, who said, addressing His Lordship: The Fraternity of Free and Accepted-Masons have gathered here to-day by your Invitation for the purpose ol Instruction in Christian Doctrine and the cultivation of the art of Music, and we wish you a God-speed in your noble undertaking. May sympathy and order rest upon each line and curve, and strength and beaut v characterize each arch and pillar, from base to cap-stone; and may the grandeur of its proportions attract tlie admiration and gladden the heart of every lover of order and progress. Tho Master then addressed the Senior Warden saying: It has been the custom among the Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, from time immemorial, to assemble for the purpose of laying the foundation stones of public build- lugs, when required to do so by those having authority. Union Lodge having been invited by the Bishop of the Diocese to lay the corner stone of this Hall, to bo dedicated to tho purpose of instruction In Christian Doctrine nnd the cultivation of the art of Music, it is my will and pleasure that it do now assist mo in the iierformnnce of that pleasing duty. This you will communicate to the Junior Warden, and he to the Craft, that they, and all others present, may be dulv notified thereof. The Senior Warden communicated tho order to the Junior Warden, Dr. De Wolf Smith, as follows: It is the will and ploasure of our Worshipful Master that the lodge do now assist in laying the foundation stone of this hall. ThiB you may communicate to the brethren, that they, and all others here assembled, may have due nnd timely notice of his order. The Junior Warden repeated the order to the assembly as follows: It is the will and pleasure of the Worshipful Master that tho lodge do now proceed with tho ceremony oflaying the comer stone of this hull. Of this you will take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly. The Master addressing tho Treasurer, Bro. J. V. Rankin, thou said: It has ever been the custom of the craft upon occasions like the present to deposit within a cavity in the stone placed at the northeast corner of the edifice, certain memorials of the period at which it was erected; so that if, iu the lapse of ages, the fury of the elements, the violence of man, or the slow hut certain ravages of time, should lay bure Its foundations, nn enduring record may be found by succeeding generations, to bear testimony to the untiring, unending industry of the Free nnd Accepted Masons. Has such a deposit now been prepared? The Treasurer responded: It has, Worshipful Master, and the various articles of which it is composed are safely enclosed within the enskot now beforo you. Tho Secretory, W. Bro. P. Grant, read the record of the contents of tho casket as follows: Copv of tho Churchman's Gazette, March, 1800; copy of tho Daily Colum- uian, March 17th, 1800; copy of Truth, March 18th, 1800; list of the officers of Trinity Church Club; programme of the 27th concert of the New Westminster Choral Union; list of the ofilcerB of tho Choral Union; coins of tho Dominion of Canada, and tho usual Mnaouic records. Tho casket was then deposited in tho Htmio with duo coromony. The stone was tested from all points and proved of pro|)er workmanship. After its adjustment the Bishop ottered up a prayer. W. M, Charleson then went forward with tho vessel of corn and poured It upon tho stone Buying: I pour this corn ns an emblem of plenty. May tho blessing of bounteous Heaven bo showered upon us. and upon all like undertakings, aud inspire us aud the hearts of tho people with virtue, wisdom and gratitude, Response: So mote It be. The Senior Warden then went forward with the vessel of wine and poured it upon the stone saying: I pour thiB .wine sb an emblem of joy and gladness. May the great Ruler of the Universe bless and prosper our Dominion, Provincial, and . City Governments, preserve the British Empire, and may it be a bond of friendship and brotherly love that shall endure through all time. Response: So mote it be. The Junior Warden then went forward with the vessel of oil and poured it upon the stone, saying: I pour this oil as an emblem of peace. May its blessings abide with us continually, and may the Grand Master of Heaven and Earth shelter aud protect the widow and orphan; shield and protect them from the trials and vicissitudes of the world, and so bestow His mercy upon the bereaved, the afflicted, the sorrowing, that they may know sorrow and trouble no more. Response: So mote it be. The Master then struck the stone three times with the gavel nud standing hi front of all, Ids hands extended, ofiercd the following invocation: May the beneficent Author of Nature bless the people of this city with an abundance of the necessarieB, conveniences, and comforts of life; assist in the erection and completion of this building, protect the workmen against every accident, and preserve' the structure from decay, and grant to ub all sufficient supply of the corn of nourishment, the wine of refreshment, and the oil of joy. Amen. Response: So mote it be. After the concluding portion of the. ceremony the Most Worshipful Master, Bro. A. Charleson, addressed Bishop Sillitoe as follows: Rt. Rev. Sir: It gives me great pleasure, and I appreciate the honor of this opportunity to congratulate you. the congregation of Holy Trinity, and this city, on having so auspiciously and successfully begun a new structure, within the walls of which, whencom- Sleted, will be given lessons in Christian octrine and the cultivation of the art of music. A building devoted to these great and good purposes must, I feel sure, be looked upon by every good citizen as of very great importance to thiB, our fast growing and prosperous city, and I trust that the instructions and teachings given and taught therein, in all that is good and true, may be of lasting benefit to those who avail themselves of the opportunities and privileges thus afforded of acquiring such necessary and useful knowledge. To the dissemination of Christian knowledge we owe the safety and protection, the rights and privileges, the peace and , prosperity, and I may say nearly all the/ blessings we to-day enjoy. Here, Ihuhtk be asked are free-masonry and jeligion the same? I cannot say that tney .-r0| but I can answer the question in the words of an illustrious brother, who saia. "TvTipjonry Is no usurper of the rights and pm*WB 0( the church. It does not aspire to De tne effect embodiment of the religious life of immunity. There are limitations to its fellownUn. which'it recognises to be inconsistent with any attempt to embody the religious sontiment in its fullest development. If, however, It Ib not the sun shining in the perfect day of man's religious life, we may at least compare its influence to that of the refulgent moon which throws no other light over the earth than that which is first derived from the sun itself, and then reflected iu glory and beauty oyer the scene of human life. Freemasonry reflects many of the choicest rays of the Sun of Right- - eousness, and throws a gentle light over the night of man's sorrows. So while our beloved order does not seek to cover the whole ground of man's religious obligation, it is careful so far as it does go to Bay and to do nothing that shall be out of harmony with the deepest needs and the highest aspirations of the human soul." Tlie art of music has been much appreciated and cultivated by the various nations of the world in past ages and Is still in great favor with the people of our own day; one ancient writer as- cibes Its Invention to the "Whistling of the winds in hollow reeds," while another attributes it to "The various Bounds produced by the hammers of Tubal Cain" Whatever may be its origin the science is truly congenial to the naturo of man, yet music never sounds with such seraphic harmony sb when employed in singing songs of praise and gratitude to the Creator of the universe. Music is one of the seven liberal arts and sciences and our Ritual says it "Teaches the art of forming concords so as to compose delightful harmony." Therefore, instruction in Christian doctrine being the harbinger of Peace and music tho promoter of harmony, it Ib eminently fitting that to-day we, as freemasons, stand here and by our presence and with the ancient symbols of the craft assist in the work of laying the corner stone of an edifice in which to be taught at least two of the cardinal virtues of our order—peace and harmony. In conclusion I may use the words of an eminent brother and say: We have poured corn, wine and oil upon this stone, they being, when taken together, the Masonic symbol of prosperity and abundance, and by it we therefore manifested our sincere wishes that the superstructure might be prosperously raised and abundantly promote tho objects for which it is designed. Separately, we employ corn to symbolize health, strength and plenty. May bread, that great staff of our physical existence, he never wanting to feed the inhabitants of this city; may the wine of joy over be found in' its midst, and happiness be a dweller with its people and tho oil of consolation pour gladness nnd peace into their hearts. Members of Union Lodge and visiting brethren, permit me on behalf of the Most WorshipfulGrund Master tothnnkyou for the assistance you have given in this important work. May the sun of your prosperity always remain at its meridian height, that there may bo no dork gloomy shadows to overcast your future nappi- To this His Lordship made suitable acknowledgments, and after the benediction, tho procession reformed and marched buck to the Masonic Hall.

BV MAIL: One Year ant* ifc is altogethor likely that steps will be taken t.W« Benson to repair the damage already dono and obviate further difficulty. HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. The Mail recalls an interesting historical episode in connection with Bismarck's eventful career, suggested especially by tho predicament in which the great Chnncellor finds himself after the recent German elections, with his powerful coalition practically broken in the Reichstag. Towards the close of the eleventh century, says the journal mentioned, when the power of tho Papacy was at its greatest height, occurred au episode in European history which has often since been recalled. For several years the German Emperor Honry IV. and tlie famous Pope Gregory VII. hud been nt variance. In 1070 tlie Emperor was summoned to answer for certain crimes laid to his charge. His solo answer was to assemble at WomiB a council of Gel man prelates which solemnly deposed the Pope, and passed judgment upon him. The news of these proceedings was sent by Honry to Gregory VII. in a letter addressed to the fulse "monk Hildebrand." The Emperor's sun, however, waB even then setting, and being in turn excommunicated by tho Pope, and soon after deserted by his adherents, he was compelled to sue for pardon. Accordingly, in January 1077, so the story goes, he repaired to the castle of Can- ossa, iu Italy, where Gregory thou waB, and was there forced to stand three whole days in au outer court, clad in hair-shirt, and bare-footed, before the Pontiff would receive him. On tho fourth day he was admitted and received absolution. At the height of the long struggle be. tween the German Government nnd the Vatican over the famous May laws of 1872, which followed the establishment of the present German Empire aud resulted, among other things, in tlie suppression of the Jesuits in Germany, Bismark declared iu the Rciclistng that he would leave no stone unturned to maintain the full aud undivided supremacy of the law, exclaiming in conclusion : "Havo no fear; we shall not go to "Cauoisa, either in body or spirit. Aud in 1877 a public monument bearing a portrait In relief of the Iron Chancellor and inscribed with these memorable words was erected ou tliu Harz-hlll, which had beeu the site of Henry IV.'b castle. But Bismarck is, and lias always been, a politician as well nsu statesman, and so it caino about within a very few years that hedid go in spirit to Canossa, advancing so far in tho direction of concessions to tho Papacy that his famous saying was repeatedly cast up to him by his enemies ns a reproach. Now, it would seem, he is contemplntlng another trip to tlie placo of humiliation. Tlie recent elections have totally wrecked the strongest combination of parties in the Reichstag by means of which he has been able to work his will since 1884. The strength of the Cartel has been reduced by nenrly one-half, its most powerful factor—the National-Liberal party—having beeu the greatest sufferer. This party, which has been described as the salt and backbone of tho Reichstag, has secured only about forty seats, as against tho hundred that It before hold. Bismurck Ib forced, therefore, in order to retain power, to look elflowhere for a Ministerial majority, and it is said that his eyes are now turned towards tho Centre-party—othorwiso called Clericals or Ultrainontnnes—which la by far the strongest of the many parties in tho Reichstag. Tlie Centre owes its origin to the Cultnrkampf, nnd under the nblo lendershlp of Dr. Windthorat, for whom BiBtunrck bus more respect than for any other of his opponents, it has during several Parliaments exorcised a mighty influence upon the Government. To it Is duo the gradual relaxation of the May laws, which nre now said to lie more In Siam you can get board for forty- five cents a week, and this includes washing, the use of two servants to run errands, tickets to shows, three shaves and all the cigars you can smoke. This sounds delightful, remarks an exchange, until you learn that it iB almost impossible to earn forty-five cents a week in Siam. The oldest lawsuit on record,perhaps,is on'e nowbelng tried in the highestRuBslan court at St. Petersburg. It wus brought 600 years ago against the city of Kam- onez-Podolsk, by tho heirs of a dead nobleman, to recover many thousand acres of his estates, which had been confiscated by the municipality. The written testimony is said to weigh 45 tons.—Ex. United States Senator Blair is still harping upon the iniquity of the press of hlfl country in refusing to report his speech in airport of his Educational Bill. Ab the delivery of thiB great oration occupied about a week it is not at all surprising that the papers "struck. Thoy had some consideration for their readers. Tlie Senator, however, Is deeply offended, and haa been saying mast unkind things about newspapers and newspaper men. Tlie only consolation he has in his affliction is the thought that he ia not theonly man who believes he could manage a newspaper better than those whose business, it is to do bo. There are several of them. A Paris letter to the Chicago Jomrnal says; M. and Mme. de Leasepa had a reception a few eveuingB ago, where tho chief attraction waB the presence of all the old man's children, the two by his first marriage and tbe eleven by his second. His eldest "boy" is about 65 years of age, aud his youngest child, daughter, Gisele, is 4 years old; the age of the eldest of the eleven children Ib 67.

In the British House of Commons the other day Mr. Howard Vincent uBkcd if stops wero to be taken to keep some check on foreign paupers coming into England and settling there. The en quiry brought out tho fact that while foreign immigrants could not be proved to be accepting poor-law relief, yet many were of the destitute class, and worked for starvation wages, to tho detriment of native working people. Without making the law regarding aliens burdensome, it is the intention of the Government to collect information regarding the entry into the country of an undesirable class of persotiB, and to notify British consuls in foreign parts to keep an oyc on emigrants bending for England.— Ex. Ail unfortunate stumblo spoiled nn ancient skeleton, and deprived some museum of a chance to get n fine specimen at Hamilton, Ohio, the other day, says an exchange. Mr. Tweedale, who gives IiIb leisure moments to the pastime of bringing the contents of ancient mounds to the light, dug up a giant of old, whose skeleton was indubitable evidence that the person it once belonged to waB ovor seven feet tall. Twee- dale, with hia valuable freight carefully encircled by hia arms, was making his way home whon he stubbed his toe, and the fall which followed was as disastrous as any of the McGinty series. The rude shock simply pulverized the skeleton. There was nothing left of it but u pile of dust. Tho deceased giant of a former ago, however, had found at least one sincere mourner in the nineteenth century. The flow of British capital into Moxi co is almost as extensive as its Influx to this country, says tho New York T bunt. Nearly $100,000,000 of English gold waB invested there last year, and railroads, lands, mines, manufactures and banks have all participated in this Pactolean stream to such an extent that the maintenance of order lu the Republic haa become almost as important to Great Britain as to Mexico herself. The Mexl can railroad, the National, the Inter- oceanic, the Control, the Mexican South cm, nud tho Tehuantepec lines are everyone of them strictly English companies, British capitalists have under- taken the stupendoUB work of draining the Valley of Mexico; and, according to a report recently hunted by the Loudon Foreign Office, in two provinces alone several millions of acres of fine land aro owned by English subjects engaged in cattle raising. Two collections of rare Bibles have recently been Bold In England, says an exchange, among them a first edition of the Bible translated by Luther, and an edition of tlie famous "Breeches" Bible, containing two other misprints, ono of them the well known verse—tho ninth in the fifth chapter of St. Matthew- reading, "Blessed are the place-makers." This error hus earned for this edition tho title of the "Whig" Bible, owing to certain proclivities with which that party wero credited. Tho other mistake occurs in the bending of the twenty-first chapter of St. Luke, "Christ oonolenmefl the poor widow." Copies of tlie groat "Ho" and "She" Bible were eagerly purchased. Tho groat "He" Bible Is of the first edition of the standard version, but contains nn error in the fifteenth verso of tho third chapter of Ruth, "And he. wont into tlie elty." Iu the next edition this was altered into the, hence the edition Is called tho groat "Sho" Bible. The late Lord Lamington was a kindly, gonial man, and, though a thoroughgoing partisan, entirely free from gall.

"Buckhurst" ia not a portrait which a serious politician would particularly care for.

It having been currently reported that the Dominion government waB contemplating the transfer to the province of control of the foreshore rights of British Columbia, over which tho former now exercises jurisdiction, application waa recently made to the chief commissioner of lands and works for the purchase of the very considerable area of land forming the foreshores of Burrard Inlet, FuIbo Creek and Coal Harbor. The property extending back from tho tidal lands in question is rendered principally valuable by its water frontage, and its owners at once took measures to protect their rights, with tho result that the provincial government havo taken action to effectually preserve the foreshore lands from sale and thus seeure the ownera in possession of their property and the advantages derived from its situation.—Coto- nisf.

Some Novel Theories Bated on a Number or Careful Experiment*. To-day In looking through some back numbers of the Galaxy I ran across a remarkable article on dreams and dreaming, in whioh the author, Mr. Lewis, presents some novel theories. There- suit of any number of experiments, he says, sustain the following facts: Speaking in a low, monotonous tone close to the ear of .a sleeper will almost invariably cause him to dream of terrible adventures on water, such as shipwrecks and drowning. Singing or playing on musical instruments induces dreams of dead friends, funerals and othor lonesome and gruesome things, often causing the sleeper to moan or even cry outright in his seeming agony. It seems that Bleep soon after meals does not cause worse dreams than the simple and very prevalent habit of seeking to court the sleepy god with arms against the headboard. The worry which may not be caused by the habit of laying with the arms resting above the head, according to this experimenter, could not be induced by an after- dinner nap after freely partaking of sauerkraut and pickles. Mr. Lewis also seoks to explode the old theory that aomnambullsm is caused by weighty trouble on the mind of tho sleeper, and he combats the Idea that any great proportion of dreams are the results of trouble, worry and excitement His theory that ".the many dreams we dream" aro but the results of waves of thought across the brain be thus aptly illustrates from an experiment "While ono watched the sleepers and tho other tbo clock, the third loudly slammed the door about ten foot away; the effect was almost Instantaneous, the man sprang up at tho sound, looked around in alarm, and then exclaimed: 'Thank Ood that it was qnly a dream.'" It seems that ho had dreamed of being on a crowded street in front of a building whioh the people about him pronounced unsafe, but that ho still lingered near tho toppling wreck. Then he trlod to elbow his way through tho crowd to a place of safety. Rut tho peoplo jeered and laughed und held him fust. Ho bogged, coaxed, threatened and entreated, still they held him, till tho building fell and the shock broke tho spell. He must have dreamed tho on tiro dream in a second, yet It seemed to him that ho was In danger as long us half un hour beforo the final awakening scono w-.s enacted. To put the thought- flash thoorv beyond dispute many ox- pei'tinont-i woro Indulged in. Sometimes a weight was let drop, a chair struck or the blinds slammed. In every instance tho sleeper had dreamed of somo startling adventure.—St Louis Republic, HARD ON THE FEET. Washington Pavement* Cripple Visitors from the lturnl DUtrletH. "Washington Is rather a peculiar city in one respect," said Dr Q, A. White, chiropodist. "Of all the cities in the world perhaps not ono is so hard on tho font, especially of visitors. The asphalt pavemenu and brick sidewalks are very nice, but it is not long before their combined influence compel people to limp from puiniui toot whon tiiey como nere. I have known thousunds of people to come to Washington from all parts of the world and li.iro it is thut they havo tho first troubio with tholr feet. Peoplo who como hero from the rural district, can tramp ovor tho streets of this city but a few weeks before corns and bunions bogin to malio themselves felt "Tho members of tho Chinoso legation some timo ago had a very unpleasant experience with American shoes and Washington streets. Wishing to conform to our customs to some extent, tho entire logution ordered shoos of a fashionable stylo and began wearing them. They hud never known what it was to bo bothered with painful feet, but after they hud made the change In their footgear ovory one of them had their first experienoo with corns and bunions." "Who are some of tbe prominent men who have hud troublesome foot?" "Uenerul Grant had to Beck a chiropodist. So did Garfield and Colonel In- gersoll. The latter two wore very heavy mon, whioh tended to cause foot troubles." "What aro tho chief causes of tender foot?" "Tight shoes, hard pavements and Industry* ' There Is a constant increase of such troubles from the tact that this city Is becoming more and more a fashionable center, and a small shoe Is as much a -necessity for somo people, according to their own Ideas, as it is to havo tholr clothes out In the latest stylo. Then there is no elty In the world whero so much walking Is done as in this. Many poople walk miles here, when they would not go a square In any otber placo on foot The attraction of our beautiful streets and city lures them out for exercise, when they would take a car or a carriage in any other place. They might tako all the exercise they do now, and even more, without foot troubles, if they would but make themselves comfortable with Bhoes that aro large enough."—Washington Post THE REAL GENTLEMAN. Wherein He Differs from the Snob and tbe Parvenu. To a sonBlblo woman a gentleman ought to be the equal of any one that wears a titlo, no matter what his rank or what his nation. To bo a thorough gentleman is.to bo that which neither inonoy nor estates nor insignia can buy. It is peculiarly a birthright It la In* heritod in tho blood and sure to make Its appearance, even under tbo most un- propitious conditions. There Is a sort of false gontlltty that is soon acquired and is affected by the snobs and tho parvenus that have aud* donly acquired riches. But this la a very cheap device in comparison with tbe gonuino article. No one can be deceived by the counterfeit because tbe mark of a real gentleman doos not alone consist of entering a drawing-room gracefully or of malting a bow in tho proper form. Those accomplishments may be necessary in order to help one to fix his position in polite society, but thoy aro really nothing compared to those graces of mind, manner and morals that a true gentleman is suro to possesB. A good definition of a real gentleman is one that adheres closely to the spirit of tho wise utterances of the Saviour: "Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men Bhould do to you, do ye even so to thorn." A strict following of this golden precept is infinitely hotter for the individual and society than all the finished bowings and scrapings under the sun,—Baltimore Sun. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white aa snow; it strayed away one summer day where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her down and tears streamed from her eyea; ihe never found the lamb, becaus'o she did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a village store; ho sat down and smoked his pipe and watched the open door. And as the peoplo passed along and did not stop to buy, John still sat down and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye.

Adventures of n Detroit Judge nnd Sportsman In Sunny Italy, A strange story of adventure, occurring under the most peculiar circumstances, can be got by the novelist from the life of Judge Longworth, so welt known in Detroit as a lover of aquatic sport and as the owner of the yacht Minx. The judge's travels took him to Italy, says the Detroit News. Once there his attention was attracted to the brigands who still infest the country of hand- organs and unrivaled sunsets. He at once conceived the novel idea of joining some band of these freebooters and from this vantage-point studying the character of those whose real identity had been obscured if not lost in the long-maintained envlronmentof legend, story and song. For one of the Judge's nature, to conoelve was to act He sought out the leader of a widely-known band, declared himself a freebooter of the deepest dye, and by his inimitable grace of act and language won the heart of the chief marauder. He was re* ceived under the prestige of an indorse* ment that was more to the brigands than any claim of law or morals. For two months the judge did more to enliven the mountain fastnesses than all therestof tho merry outlaws combined. Ills stories wero the best, his courtly manners the beau Ideal of cultivated lawlessness. His hand was Incapable of outrage or crime, and It Ib a part ot thiB ti-ue revelation that had the judge remained much longer a member of the band it would have become impoverished. He deftly managed to acquire a virtual leadership, and saved many % traveler from paying the toll so ruthlessly demanded by the bandits. He could shoot better than any ot hia self- chosen companions, was their superior in every thing that attracts even those who laok the qualities and abilities admired. All of the band looked upon him as a peculiar good fortune bestowed by some kindly deity of luoky chance or fate, and hiB advice was accepted where that ot others would have been violently resented. To his associates be was the prince of good fellows, and not one suspected thut his sole purpose was to study the I lalian bandit In life and learn by intimate association just who and what he was. For eight weeks he was a happy, rollicking bandit and when his purpose was accomplished he was guilty ot a well-managed desertion, for bandits, like a certain type of office-holders, may die, but they oan never resign. He got out of the mountains and out of Italy. HUMOROUS. —Hooker Crook (to chum)—"So you've been getting married during my absence—who was best man?"

Hade In Mexico by Girls Who Work for Twelve Cents a Bay* George Morrison, formerly connected with the Mexican Central railroad, told me somo Interesting facts yesterday concerning, tbe little boxes of wax matches whioh the small boys push under the nose of every man that gots oft an "L" train at a down-town station. "Those matches," ho said, "are nearly all made in Mexico, and so cheaply that after paying heavy duty, olgar dealers and others sell them at tho ohoap rate you see. In Mexico they sell at the rate of two boxes for one cent There are about fifty matches in a box, and considering the care required In their preparation, this cheapness is wonderful. Thh body ot the match is mode with a cotton wick and wax, like a par- afflne candle, with a colored mixture of phosphorus ot one end for Ignition. But this Is not all tho work. Tho little boxes', holding fifty of the matahos, are complicated affairs, consisting of twopo- oullarly-prepared pasteboard oases, fastened together with rubber, with gay little pictures on both Bides, These matches aro mode by Mexican girls at about twelve and one-half cents a day, and the machinery tn the manufactories Is what we would call decidedly crudo and unsatisfactory. How thoy mako any monoy oft of thorn, or oven get a living, Is moro than I can tell. But the little dealers seem to thrive by selling them at threo boxos for a nickel. That does not bring them into much competition with our own manufacturers, and I guess none but smokers buy thorn."—N. Y. Star.

The band was brought into requisition and played a number of appropriate airs, and a very enjoyable evening wqa spent by the lads in commemorating the day. A palace cattle car came in ou the Pacific express yesterday afternoon, bringing 17 head of magnificent Clydesdale horses consigned to parties on the Delta. The nnimals come from Paisley, Ont., and are exceptionally fine in every way. Tbey were taken down to Ladners Landing ou the steamer Yosemito. In another column will be found notice calling a parade of the Rifles for to-morrow night at which every man is earnestly requested to be present. Capt.

Let every man in the company show his interest in its permanency and welfare by turning out regularly. Mr. Vernon N. Johnson, travelling secretary for the Voting Men's Christian Association of tho Pacific Northwest, arrived, on the late evening train yesterday. An Informal reception was held . in the association parlor immediately upon his arrival, at which thirty ladies and gentlemen were present. Mr. Johnson reports that there will be forty delegates to the conference from Victoria, Vancouver and Nanaimo, George Francis Train, the world renowned crank, Bailed on the SS. AhyH- sina to-day for Japan, the first objective point on his great trip round the world. The trip is being mado at the expense of the people of Tacoma, who are uxious to advertise the city by drawing attention to it through the medium of this generally known and mosteccentricindivtdual, Train. There is a fair possibility that Train will kick over the traces beforo many days, and return home without completing the trip. The second of tho now colonist cars arrived on Sunday. These cars nre sumptuously furnished, the upholstering being in maroon, aud are provided with all the conveniences of a first class sleeper, porter included, with only an additional cost of $2.60 to Montreal. They contain closets, wash-rooms, cooking range, smoking room, etc., etc. These will add greatly to the excellent accommodation previously furnished by the C. P. It.,and will more than ever popularise tho road with tho travelling public— News-A dvertiser. The Mendelssohn Quintette Club give ono of their delightful concerts at Herring's Opera House on Friday evening. The Buffalo Expma says: Tlie Mendelssohn Quintette Club stands for thorough excellence in ensemble playing. The Club won another triumph'last night that was richly deserved. The indisposition of Mr. liyan caused a change iu the programme, Mr. Ohliger playing a violin solo in admirable style, instead of the farmer's clarionet number. The cello playing of Max Droge was one of the first order and highly artistic, and won hearty applause. A Serious Accident Avertad. What might havo proved a very seri- ovs mishap to the local train Inst night was most luckily averted by the . houghtfuluess of a man, whoso name could not be learned to-day. A horse being hitched to a vehicle somewhere near the station was startled by a passing object, and dashed madly up Front street, taking the middle of the track all the way. On reaching the trestle work- opposite the Woolen Mills its legs slipped between the Umbers, loaving tho animal in a perfectly helpless condition, unable to rise and move out of the way of the approaching train. The man above , mentioned saw the plight tbe ho.se!had got into and instantly realized the danger to the train and its precious cargo of humanity. Without the loss of a moment ho rushed into Mr. H. Harvey's store nud] picking up alighted lamp ran down the track and signalled the train to stop. He was just in time for tho train had rounded tho curve and was j approaching at a rapid rate of speed when the engineer saw the signal. Tho air brakes wore quickly applied and the train came to a standstill a few yards from tbo unfortunate animal* By the aid of a rope and the assistance of many strong arms tho horse waa pulled from its uncomfortable and dangerous position and removed fromt he track ana: the train proceeded on its way. - Salmon Fishing. The boat sent out by W. H. Vianen yesterday afternoon succeeded in capturing eight fine salmon in the course of an hour. To-day some twelve boats went out, and at latest reports all had met with fair success. The fish caught veB- teiday were perfect beauties and of proper color. In weight they averaged from 12 to 20 lbs, rather smaller than the general run of spring salmon, but the fishermen are pleased all the same, as they consider that small fish bode well for a large run. The salmon bring a good price at present and if the run is fairly large the fishermen will make excellent wages. Mr. Vianen will commence shipping to Winnipeg, Montreal and other eastern cities in a few days. Messrs. D. W. Port & Co. are also preparing to ship largely to Toronto. ♦—■»-■"> ■■ Solid Improvements. The improvements contemplated by the Park committee, and sanctioned by the City Council last night, are certain to meet with the hearty support of the ratepayers in general, providing that the different works are got under way and completed without unnecessary loss of time. The committee will havo two new wings added to the exhibition building in Queen's Park, which will bring tlie building into consonance with the original plans. A handsome fence will be placed along Park Lane, nnd tho unsightly temporary affair now enclosing tho Park will be removed. The machinery hall will be enlarged to give more room for exhibits—a very desirable change, as the present building iB altogether too Binall. A keeper^ cottage will be built and a park keepor appointed. Moody Square is also to be taken in hand at ouce and the money voted for its improvement put to use. Tenders will shortly be called for clearing, stumping and grading the new park, and if work iB commenced Boon the grounds will be fit for uae by the middle of the summer. The contract will be let in four sections in order to hasten the work and ensure it early completion. After the stumping on the Crescent is finished the ground will be levelled and nicely laid out. The Park committee has an excellent opportunity to win golden opinions in connection with these worka and it is to be hoped it will deserve the applause of all cititizens when tbe business on hand is concluded. CITY COUNCIL. POLICE COURT. M. Patrick's Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Before T. C. Atkinson, P Frank Parr celebrated St. pay iu the regular old fashioned Tipper* ary style, getting thoroughly mid completely intoxicated. During his somewhat erratic mameuvres he fell through a shop window on Columbia Btreet and alighted without damage to himself iu a basket of eggs. The eggs suffered a great breakage and the window glass waB shattered into several thousand pieces. Parr denied the charges, but the case was clearly proven aud a fine of $5 and the cost of tlio window nnd eggB was imposed, Johnny Ward, a NanaiiP«J.»^»'., w»8 arreBted yesterday ,*» teing mildly drunk, He ple<""d he had just boon (.•loosed {«*»«■ the penitentiary aud had lion'orcu the occasion by overdrinking. After promising to reform and lead a bettor life lie was dismissed with a caution. Harry, a Comox Indian, aud one of the greatest reprobates unhung, was up on the old charge of being drunk ■ and disorderly. He pleaded St. Patrick's day as an excuse, but the magistrate could not be induced to tako tins iuto consideration and fined him |6 and costs. George T. Dunn was fined $2:50 for assaulting a Chinaman named Ah Chin, John Columbus was charged with using obscene and blasphcmeous language to a half breed woman named Mary Houston. Ou the woman's own evidence the defendant was exonerated of the charge. It was also proved that Mr. Columbus hod only taken tho part that any man would be inclined to take in a similar case. He had reproved the woman, whom lie claims is not of good character, for taking a little child with her in hor walks, and thereby endangering tho little one's morals. The magistrate very properly dismissed tlio case, placing the costs of the same on the plaintiff, Mary Houston. David Bendleton appeared before the court holding bis jaws with both hands. He pleaded guilty to the charge, but said in extenuation that he had been suffering all tho tortures of a horrible toothache; ho had bought a 26 cent bottle of whisky to ease tho pain, the liquor had gone to his head and in the delirium that followed he was taken to the police station. He declared that if allowed to go unfined this time his future conduct would be such as to make him a model among men, and for evermore he would abstain from intoxicants iu each and every form. The magistrate seemed deeply affected by the defendant's harangue and was about to impose n fine payable next year," when the chief of iioli.ee informed him that the clerk held f5 of Bendleton's money,' On ' hearing this the court revived aud the defendant was fined $2:50. Strange to say the moment the fine was imposed tho excruciating palu seemed to leave Bendleton's tooth and a smile lighted up his face and remained playing about his handsome features until the court adjourned.
