Says London Truth : Tlio Duke of Norfolk appears to havo becomo a greengrocer, for I hear that ho is not above telling hit fruit, vegetables, and flowers at current market ratos, either wholesale or retail. Visitors to Arundol OaBtlo gardens may purchase anything thoy fancy, and large hampers of produce and huge baskets of cut flowers are despatched several times a week to Brighton and Portsmouth. Undor the circumstances, it suems decidedly unfair while the ilukp is driving a roaring trade, that his glasshouses should be rated merely as pleasure grounds, whereas professod nurserymen have to pay a very much higher rate. Tho Duke has quite enough advantage ovor tho ordinary tradesman without being favoured in tho ijuftlor of rates. • u, PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE To the United States Congress. A Very Complete, lengthy, and Exhaustive Document. An'exclmngc sayi : Sir Oharles laiiBsell, oy.-AUornuy-Ciimoml und leading council for Mr. Parnell, has a well-known trick of driving a point homo to a jury which is inimitable by any other advocate. Ho begins to lead up to it with his right hand in his tail-pooket, under his gown. Thence ho extracts a snuffbox, transfers it to his left hand, opens it, takes a pinch between the finger and thumb of his right, and with the box still in his left hand, and the pinch still in transitu, ho makes his point unerringly, so that it reaches his hearers' minds at the precise moment at which the pinch reaches its destination. . Then, with an inimitable flourish of a red and yellow bandanna, tho oratorical effort is complete, But to be properly appreciated it must be seen. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powdor nover varies.

Thitv timo it is pot in "a literary- way, however, but by an? eocoiitrioity of dross that has sot the -women talking and the men laughing. She appeared, at an afternoon tea the othor day-and why people give aftornoon teas nobody has ever yet explained—and whon she entered tho house to which she had beon invited there peoped out from 'beneath hor short walking costume a' pair of kid shoes made like a glove; and tho admirers of ''The Quick or tho Dead" have gono into ecstneics over the new innovation in woman's foot .gear. And yet possibly tho commonsenso woman will not think overmuch of Mrs. Ohanler's new departure in dross. Certainly the average man will not." We should say not. It is just a littlo toe, toe.

London nnd Lancashire Life Assurance Co. Canton Insurance (lnice, Ld. (Marine) OFPIOEBl Columbia St., New West'r. 41 Government St., Victoria ilwaenyl An exchange has this goood advice for some people who want to believe themselves bettor than their neighbors: Suppose that those superior people who won't have anything to do with politics and who aro always telling us that "one party is as bad as another," were to give us a change and tell us that "one party is hb good as another"; it would show their lofty impartiality just as well, it would givo a more truthful view of the case and it would "elevate politics" much more effectually than the groaning and oonsorious spirit ever will. It is not true today that the public men of Canada, taken as a whole, are self-seeking, unscrupulous domagogues; but nothing would so muoh tend to bring about that state of things as tho censorious habit, the habit of wholesale depreciation of public men, for its effect is to drivo out of public lifo sensitive and conscientious men and leave the oountry a proy to the unscrupulous and tho thick-skinned. Nearly all the Canadian, public men iu Federal and Provincial politics are men whoso private lives aro without reproach. A large majority of them are patriotic men, desirous of advancing tho interests of Canada, though, holding different views ns to how that object is to be attained. Some of them may bo self-seeking, but in the caso of others the moro fact of thoir boing in public lifo at all precludes the idea that they aro actuated by any lower motive than nn honorable ambition, 'fake tho case of the lion. Kiiward Blake, who in spite of ingratitutc and calumny, gave many of the host years of his life to Canada, relinquishing the princely earning which might havo been his if ho had attended wholly to his practice at tho bar. The salaries of Cabinet 31 misters, as a rulo, nre much smaller than tho incomes of men occupying private positions of much less importance The manager of ono of our largest batiks or loan conipanys,for instance, would laugh at the idea of accepting tlio salary of tho Finance Minister of Canada. Mr. Van Homo's salary is six or seven times as large us that of tho Minister of Railways, Thore are a dozen Toronto lawyers whoso incomes far exceed that of tho Minister of Justice. The caso with reference to Provincial Ministers is still stronger, for their incomos aro not much more than half thoso of tlio members of the Dominion Cabinet. The school of politics is n rough one, but its effects are salutary. Criticism knocks tho pomp- ousness and self-conceit out of a humblor man, and the canvas teaches him a lesson of conrtcsty and fraternity whioh are not forgotten after eleohon day. Childnn Cryfor Pitcher'sCastorla THE rilESIDENT S MKSSAdl*. Washing-hut, Dec. 3.—After referring to the country's survival for hundred years, tho president says in his mcasuj'o that tho survival is not auf- liciunt to tisBume that wo no longer have dangers to fear. Iu itsmaintain- atico in early stages combinations, monopolies and aggressions of capital wero either avoided or sternly regulated and restrained. Tho president refers to the growth and prosperity of tho country, but says we tind wealth nnd luxury mingled with poverty. He alludes tothe farmers and deplores thoir condition saying they aro forced hy tho government to pay for tho benefit of others, and that tho scanty returns of their labor fail to leave a margin for acouiuulntion. Ho aiiys the working men are no longer frightened by tho cry that their wages aro endangerod by a just revision of our tariff laws, and that they will demand through such a revision steadier employment and cheaper means of living. Continuing tho president say*-:—"In part a just and sensible unison of our tariff laws should be mado for tho relief of those our countrymen who suffer under tho present condition; such a revision would receivo tho support of nil who lovo the justice and equality duo American citizenship. Extravagant appropriations of publio money witli all thoir demoralization consequences should not be tolerated." He an-ueB that it can't be denied that selfish and private interests, so persistently heard when efforts are made to deal in a just and comprehensive manner with the tariff laws, are responsible for the sentiment largely privileged that the general government iB the.fountain of individual and private aid, and that it should on tho slightest possible pretext of promoting general good and apply public funds to tho benefit of localities and individuals. Ho urges nn amendment of laws relating to p.O$Kb lands, property, and the necessity of Ihe erection of one or more prisons for United Statea convicts and revisions of the prison laws. Ho quotes patriolic soiitnneuh from President Jackson's message.- The president deplores the fact that the government persists in exacting irum the substance of the people millions which jjiuipplied and usoloss Ho dormant in its treasuiy under the samo laws. He says, tho government permits many millions inure tn he lidded to tho cost of tho living of our people and tu bo taken from consumers which unreasonably swell the profits of a small but powerful minority. Tho message goes on to say that sinco the last annual message foreign relations has been strengthened and improved by tho pertotmauco of internal good offices. Those international questions still awaiting settlement nro all reasonably within the domain of amicable negotiation, and no existing dispute between the U. S. and any foreign power not susceptible of satisfactory adjustment by frank diplomatic treatment. The questions between Great Britain and the I". S. relating to rights of American fishermen under treaty with Canada and New Foundland, 1 regret to say, nro not yet satisfactorily adjusted. Since March 3rd, 1887, no [ense has been reported to the department of itate wherein complaint has boen made of unfriendly or unlawful treatment of American fishing vessels on the part of tho Canadian authorities in whioh reparation wai not promptly and satisfactorily obtained by the U. S. consul general at Halifax. Having essayed in tho discharge of my duty to procure by negotiation the settlement of a long standing dispute and to remove n constant menace to tho good relations of tho two countries and continuing to be of the opinion that the treaty of February last did supply a satisfactory, practical mid finnl adjustment upon a basis honorable nnd just to both parlies of tho difficult aud vexed question, and having subsequently nnd unavailing!)* recommended other lcgii-laturu to congress which I hopsd would suffice to moet tho exigency created by the rejection of the treaty. I now again invoke tho earliest and immodi'le attention of congress to tho condition of this important question nn it now stands before them and the country. VA'CAl. ItlKOlII'MEXCl*.

London, Dee. 1.—Lord Saliibm/, speaking at Glasgow of the treatment of political prisoners in Ireland, uid that the government's action confirmed the general practice ot nunkind. - He added thit "Uve yean too then w*l a half-breed in Canada called Kiel who rebelled and attempted to spreid desolation and misery in that fruitful, smiling land. It wai hit seoond offence and was he treated according to his maudlin, effeminate doctrine 1 So: on the contrary, tho Canadian govern ment, representing the people if erer a government did, simply hinged hiin. That accorded to the rule in modem socioties, and accorded to the notion of the Imperial government in Ireland.'1 Speaking at Birmingham, he hoped that negotiations would lie renewed which would lead to * mcceniul eon- cluaion of the fisheries dispute. He knew the great desire of the Canadian people to live ou' neighborly term* with tbo peoplo of the United State., and hoped that a similar feeling ot amity prevailed in the State*. He urped mutual combination with the colonics for Imperial defence. No fiscal arrangement oould .be forced upon the colonies. Regarding Inland he contended that it would bo dangerous to grant the Irish mon th*n provincial chambers. The experience of Quebec showed that if a province wai made too strong, it could squeeze money out of the eentnl treaiury beyond what was juit generally. Ha hopod that the seloction of Sir Hen./ Norman, ono of the ablett terv*nr* of tho crown, as the governor of Queensland would settle the diipute. He had reason to know that Canad* had not followed the exunpl* of other coloniet in urging the coloniil office to accede to the demand lor a colonial voice in the selection of governon. On the contrary the Canadian official opinion, he believed, inclined to th* Imperial view, that if the governor I* to act aa an arbitrator between parti**, he muit not owe hii poiition to colonial fictions.

Ho resigned his position as a member of the local legislature to contest Cariboo for tho commons, and lost. Mr. McLeesc, as is well-known, was a loyal oppositionist in the local house, always to bo depended on. Tho election which tcok place, on Pho 26th ult, to till the vuuausy consequent on Mr. McLeese's resignation resulted in the return of Mr. I. B. Nason, a government supporter, by a large majority over his opponent, Mr. A. Barlow, also o government supporter, although leaning to independence. Out of the 27 members of the local houso, as at present constituted, the opposition cannot count on moro than six. Such a preponderance of power on tbe sido of the government is not always oonducive to the healthiest condition of the body politic. On the other hand, it prevents obstruction, and accelerates legislation, and, as governments go, we believe that the present provincial administration is the best tlio province has had, and, from present appearances, the best that is likely to be bad. The royal city has good reason to exclaim, "Save mo from my friends!" Indications are not wanting to war rant us in saying that the worst enemies of Westminstor could not have devised or executed a more venomous thrust at the best interests of the oity than has been done by a few of our own citizens in ihe matter of the injunction the olher day. Even if the injunction does not stand, injury has already b in done to the city's credit and general standing, and every day the injunction remains on our outlook is becoming blacker. If reverses to the Southern Railway affected that enterprise alone, the case would not be so serious. Bat other interests, even mote important, are now in the balances. Capital, as overy ono knows, is very coy, and a very slight panic serves to divert it from intended investments. Causes are now operating as a result of the ill- junction which set dead against the we'fare of tho city, and if the in- junction itself is sustained an increased loss of confidence and slag- nation is threatened which cannot but soiiously depirciato tho value of property ia the city. Wiiy a few men should I ike upon themselves such a tremendous responsibility— and these men our own cilizens too —when ninr-tenths of the ratepayers wish to see the railway proceed without any hindrance, it is difficult to imagine. Whatever the motive, howover, the results are proving serious, and may prove disastrous. Washington Territory fully expects, and will make a united and determined effort, to be admitted into full statehood ere another, year rolls round. Several of her sister territories expeet the same promotion. And Alaska, which hitherto has had a sort of provisional gov- ment, will likely be' raised to the status of a territory. An American exchange puts it this way: "Not the least important of 'the duties which will confront the Republican party on its return to power will be that of providing n suitable government for Alaska. The people of that territory have n right to tho protection of the laws aud they should receive from the government the attention to which they are entitled, 'ihe mule-shift government which was bestowed upon Aluka about llvo years ago, poor as it was, was acceptable to the people of the territory, because it was better than the utter nbsenco of government which had before prevailed. It was inadequate for tho wants of the territory then und it is more inadequate now, ihe population and wealth of the territory have increased at* npid pace, and the interests now at stoke are suoS that the national government can no longer lcok upon Aluka as a possession of to little importance as to require no attention whatevei. Nothing loss than a full territorial government ihould •atilfy the p ople of Aluka. Tbey an entitled to it a* etearly as t* e people of Washington, Montana and Dakota ere entitled to slate government, and they should insist upon bating it, Alaska has passed the period in whioh even a make- ihift government is luSeient, and it will be the grateful duty of the Republican party to provide it with a government luBioient for the requirements of its peoplo." Tho Lancet, an American medical journal, discusses a rather startling, because little thought of, phase of contagious diseases, vi**,) the danger which exists of infeotion being conveyed by domestic animals, such as dogs and oats, and also of analogous diseases lieing contracted from these household pets, whioh an always handled more or less by memben of tho family, a praotice not unattended with danger. It is reported from Chicago, says the lancet, that a by no means incoilsiderablo local outbreak of scarlatina has been brought about by a oat, which acted as the means of carrying the infection. It has long been known that almost anything which can servo as a vehiole for carrying the desquamating epithelium of soarlatina patients may aot as an intermediary between sick and healthy; and although recent study of the specific fevers tend to show that the period in which these diseases are most likely to be communicated is tho acute stage rathor than.that of convalescence, it must be admitted that somo of these diseases can be conveyed by suoh methods as the reception and subsequent discharge of infectious material from the coat of a cat nursed by patients. But that anything like an outbreak of scarlatina should be directly brought about by such a causo is oontrary to experience, which goes to show tbat this diseaso is not often communicated from one person to another through the agency of a third party who is free from the disease; and it is far moro probable that nny extension of scarlatina in the case referred to was due to infection contracted directly from tho first porson to whom tho disease was conveyed. But our main object in referring to the incident is to draw attention to the faet that the domestic animals do constitute a distinct clanger to man, in so far as some of the specific infectious fevore are concerned. As yet we know nothing about any disease in the eat which can lead to scarlatina in the human subject. But it is probably highly different as regards diphtheria, for a number of instances have been plaeed on record in which, while diphtheria has been prevalent in the human subject, a similar if not the same disease has been ascertained to exist among cats, and it is certain that in some prevalences there has been close association between the human sick und the affected animals. We are at present only just on the borderland of a vvido subject—namely, that of tho relationship of diseases of the lower animals to diseases in man; and we may possibly learn hereafter that, apart from the origin of infective discuses in the lower animals, the latter may serve as media for communicating infections to an extent as yet not understood. Certain it is that the manner in whioh dogs, cats, and other doinestie animals are at times fondled by thoso to whom they belong, and to whom they become attached, is not free from risk.

I have visited many of the surrounding farms but have yet failed to sec any grain cut so clean as mine. I feel proud of the machine and would strongly recommend the Maxwell above all others.

As ft reporter was passing through the stock yards at Weit Albany recently his attention was drawn to a person attached to one of the cattle trains, bound through to the East, by an appearance of distortion about the upper portion of the man's face ond by a livid streak at the top of his forehead which, as plainly seen under his Ul* fitting derby, suggested a freshly, healed ■oar. .* Tho man told one of the most remarkable stories that was ever poured into the ears of a human being1, and which seemed in many particulars as Improbable as anything told in "She,'' through the marvelous imagination of Mr, Haggard. The man's story was as follows: Five years ago a youth of 18, living in one of the villages of Central Massachusetts, became Infected with the pernicious contagion of ycllowcolored literature and Induced one of his companions to run away from home with him and seek a life of adventure in the Wild West. Singularly enough and unlike most of its kino, the scheme fared so well that the two lads, the latter one year younger than his evil adviser, succeeded in getting aa far as Denver, staying there several months and earning money enough at odd jobs to secure an outfit and join a search expedition, which was being fitted out to locate a fabulously rich deposit of gold, rumored to have been discovered by a venturesome miner in the unexplored region wes", of the Sierra Mndra mountains of New Mexico, The singular fortune of the young men still attended them, and with the smal part of the party who escaped the dangers by the way, . they found themselves after six weeks of la -iirious travel in tho very heart of tho wild and almost inaccessible region where their cupidity had been guided by somewhat viiKiie directions. Then, as If by some strange fatality, luck deserted the party. One who wandered some distance from eamp never found his way back, and was supposed to have fallen a prey, to the feroeity of wild la-asi, which apparently had formed a plan o( lie-Iugiuj* the party. Aimiitur wus killed by tho fall of an en "in io ns bowlder while he was exploring for the coveted mine. Tbe elder of the two young men, nnd the leader, was among the numbur who met with violent deaths. After six weeks of patient and fruitless search four of the party were all that remained, and theso decided to fight their way oaok through the innumerable dangers and hardships to civilisation. They did not set out by the route they came, but attempted to muke their way through a pass which seemed to promise an easier outlet. When crossing n forbidding ravine, a fallen tree which tliey hud utilized as a bridge gave way and precipitated three of the party Into Its depths. The youngest being the least also in weight had crossed first and the support of Hits log bridge being apparently assured, the ot herd had ventured out together to their death. Oppressed by the ovor* powering sense of loneliness, aud his help* less conditfon, it was by an almost incredible exercise of fortitude and endurance that the survivor m.-initgeil to roach the cauyon of tho Bio Grande river, living on such game as he managed to thn th and steadily coniuming his small stock 01 ammunition. One day he fairly tumbled into a turquoise find of the most exiravn--ant value. He filled his pockets with the gems in the rough, and made a bag out of skins to hold all ho could carry. How lie managed to get across the Bio Grande; which is not navigable, and which is Honked by mountains from 6,000 to 12,000 feot In height, the loftier peaks above tho suow lino, lie cannot remember. When he first camo to consciousness of bis where. abouts, he was in tho northern part of the territory, about forty miles below San Luis, Colorado, nnd in the very dutches of a party of hostile lies who had eut off'every chance' of escnpc, nnd thnt probably after following tils insane wanderings for some time. The instinct of self-preservation in the face of danger for a familiar: human foe doubtless brought buck his tottering reason* A desperate struggle did not prevent his capture ulive, and he was reserved for the most elaborate tortures, which culminated with the devilish work of tbe scalping knife.

As soon as his ex* pectont gaze beheld the toast he declared that It was not of the quality he desired; that he wanted "toast with holes in it" Being in doubt what was wanted, tho waiter reported the matter to the proprietor, Mr. Page, who, anxious toi please everybody. ordered the cook to prepare another plate of toast Another order of nice, crisp, buttered toast wai soon placed before the young clerk. Then his indignation became very apparent. He iiied the plate of toast and went with U In person to the proprietor and complained bitterly of his service, and declared tbat he had twice ordered "toast with holes in it," and the waiter had brought common ' brciuMonst both times. When asked to explain what ho meant by "toast with holes in it," he said. "Like that whioh Mr. ■ bad for breakfast yesterday," The waiter remembered that Mr. > had been served with waffles on that occasion, and thereupon, without further unnecessary delay, the young man got hia "toast with hole's in it.*' ' ■ .

Fishes aro not very common In deep water, and until lately, it was thought there were none, chiefly because of the Immense pressure being one ton per square inch for every 1000 fathoms. As sunlight fails about 200 fathoms down, vegetable life also ceases, and as a consequence deep sea fishes are carnivorous. The most voracious often eat their own offspring, whilo others are nourished by animnlculie, which like a constant rain, settle down from tho higher waters.

Thanksgiving, Then and Now. , Many of. the States formerly regarded Kew England's Thanksgiving with feelings akin to those which move the stiff Highlander to sniff at "thftlittlo government Sunday, that they call the Fast." But time and tne appropriateness of the custom hove worked the day into general observance, so that now in almost all the States, the day ia not only observed, but the preceding week bristles with preparations to honor the Nation's Harvest Home. "Thanksgiving" originated in the pious: sentiment tlmt to the Lord of the Harvest were due tlie publio thanks of the harvest- era. The Pilgrims of Plymouth began it. Prompted by their sympathy with the Jewish "Feast of Harvest," and by the fitness of things, they set apart a day on which to rejoice together, "before the Lord," for the yield of "twenty acres of Indian corn" and "six acres of barley and pease," In the spring of 1021, "when the leaves of the white auk were as big as the ear of a mouse"—that being the Indian season for planting-tlioy "set" thi corn and Bowed the barley and peas. "Sqnnnto," the friendly Indian who had beon kidnapped by lawless Englishmen, showed them "how to sot, fish-dress and tend" the corn. So thoroughly did they manure tho ground with herrings, that their old chronicler writes: "God be praised, we had a good increase of Indian corn, and our barley indifferent good; but our pease not worth gathering, for wo feared they wore too late sown." It was one year after the Pilgrims had sighted from the deck of the Mayflower the sands of Cape Cod. - "Our harvest being gotten hi," writes the chronicler,' "the Governor [Bradford] sent four men on fowling, tlmt so we might after a special manner, rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit ofourlabors.'i. Thus began New England-** Thanksgiving —a Harvest Home, celebrated when seven log huts housed its founders; Nine yearl utter, the .Puritans of the Massachusetts Colony observed their first Thanksgiving. It commemorated the ar*" rival of the provision ship which saved the people from starvation. Gov. Wintlirop, seeing that the supplyof food was likely to run short, hud sent the snip Lyon to England for a load of pro* visions, Storms and contrary winds detained the ship so long that the people or Boston were forced to llvo on clams* muscles, ground nuts and acorns. Thoy became discontented and murmured. A day of Fasting nud Prayer was appointed. Wintlirop had put his last batch of bread in the oven, and was distributing his Inst handful of meal to a poor man. Suddenly somo one saw a ship at the mouth of the harbor. The half-starved people flocked to the beach. The good ship Lyon dropped her anchor, and her cargo of provisions was distributed according to each man's necessities. The day.of Fasting was changed Into a day of Thanks* giving. The festival met the social wants of our pious, but precise, 000681018. They hnd but little time for merry-making, and thev rejected Christmas because to them it was associated with superstitious notions and unseemly practices. But some festival wot* needed to interrupt the monotonous toll ol the yenr and give expression to their social end pious feelings. » Thanksgiving struck its roots deeply In Uew England's soil, because It symbolized both the God ward and the mauwurd side of the people's life. It expressed thankfulness to the Bountiful Giver; it extended hospitality nnd charity to man. Associated with the ingathering of hsrv* etsand families, it became the climax-of Kew England's social life; the crista of its feasting; its day of "holy convocation.". Now, as when first set apart from the days of tbe year, it is both a domestic and it religious festival. It is the day that brings back children and children's, children to the old home. Its point of attraction is tho family, that vital unit and subtle nexus, whose spiritual gravitation moulds a tear, preserves tho man and guides a nation. Thanksgiving compacts together these old homos, "new Jerusaletns" are tbey, scattered throughout the land. Beneath the family roof-tree pleasant memories are revived and old vows renewed. Children's children become sensitive to the family idea and clow with the homo-Sentiment There I the tired heart rests, tbe disconsolate ore exhilarated, and the past, with Its sacred moulding associations, becomes the present, Thousands will go out from thia Harvest Home with hearts pulsating to a mother's touch, determined (hut their life shall grow Into a harvest of noble deeds and holv charities. The Jewish Feast of Harvest wiiV n time of dedication. All through the land the people, swayed by the generous gifts of the earth, dedicated the harvest with thanksgiving, and themselves with prayer nnd holy vows, to Him who openeth His hand and fiUeth all with good. > Melancholy Complalnen* Sometimes the least thankful • and the most complaining are the people whose lives are crowded with "good tlpgs;"' No aches, no sleepless hours; uo hunger thai may not be satisfied, no eare of deformed or Idiotic children, no solicitude about money, no heavy burdens—no really heavy burdens—no new-made grave yonder in the cemetery to swallow up the possible joy of every day f well-to-do, plenty to do. Why should they not be full of thanksgiving 7 But they are not" 'They see everything through blue glasses. Green grass—blue; fair lilies and royal roses—blue; blue sky- blue-black; faces of best friends—blue. The weather Is bad even when vou think it tolerably good weather. It will storm be* fore night—even though the sun comes up unveiled over the hills and looks out on a cloudless sky. Theeook might have done better—when every body elao hits full proof that she has done her best Poor sermon- tlmt every body liked. So it goes in little matters and in great, In-doors and out, nl home and abroad. "What's the use of Thanksgiving days? Who's got nny thing to be thankful for—that Is, if lie has sense enough to see how bad every thing Is? Thanksgiving days tend te dissipation. Men overeat on such days. Children, Indulged too much at these times, are spoiled; . and they turn liberty into license. Preachers use the occasion for preaching political sermons and stirring up a contentious spirit In the church, Laboring men get a taste of rest end-return reluctantly to their work, or they get drunk and waste their money," Hnve you never heard such melancholy complalnen?

Rand, of Vancouver, was in the city to-day endeavoring to form a company to bore for minerals, water, natural gas, coal or anything of value likely to be como across in the boring. Mr. Rand has a boring machine of the latest make and is read-/ to commence work the moment sufficient capital is subscribed to enable him to do so. The proposed site on which tho boring will be commenced is at the top of the hill directly in rear of the city. The many valuable discoveries made with the aid of the boring machine ought to bo a sufficient inducement to enterprising men to engage in tho scheme. North Arm load.. The work on the cuustruction uf the new North Arm road, in spite of the rainy weather, is progressing tolerably well. Mr. Green, in chnr-*-*, expects that the C. P. R. portion of the road will bo completed by about ChrUtmaB day, if circumstances are favorable. It is understood that the contract for the government portion of tho road has been let, although the work is not yet under way. About one mile of the right of way of the government's portion still requires cleuring and burning. There is very little doubt Lut that tho road will be ready for the uses for for which it is being built by spring.-— World.

The Sea Shell Indians who navigated tho canoes report that they made the trip down in two days, being favored with a nor'west gale from start to finish, Tho deer wore sold to W. H, Vianen and brought a fair price considering the large stock at present on the market. The Indians say that deer have never been more numerous than they are this year and it is no trouble to kill as many aa one might wish to. Sixteen deer belonging to ono man were killed by him in two days—an evidence that they are not scarce. » *•»-*> One Thousand Hollars' Reward.

Another Pioneer Cone* Alderman- Joseph Humphries, of Vancouver, died yesterdry morning at 4 o'clock after a short illness. Aid. Humphries was one of the early settlers in British Columbia, having arrived in tho province in 1862. For some years he mined in Cariboo, and when the Cassiar discoveries were made he was one of the fint to shoulder his pack and seek a fortunoin that new Eldorado, For a number of years Mr. Humphries lived in New Westminster, whero he was greatly respected, being a man of strict integrity and honor. He moved to Vancouver about the time the first laud excitement broke out in that cily and resided there until his death. He was elected as a member of the first city counoil after the charter was granted and held his scat ever since. His actions in civio affairs were always marked by strict honesty, and anything in the shape of corruption cliques he strongly opposed and never hesitated to expose. He was a member of the Masonio fraternity. HU death waa the subject of many comments today and on all aides universal regret wu expressed at his sudden demise.

"•>»■* ■ —, . District Court. Before T. C. Atkinson, 1'. M. The oase'of A, C. Cooper, on remand, charged with attempt to murdor, came up for a hearing this morning. On application uf Mr. Moresby the information was amended by striking out the word Quinton. J. H. Bosustow, sworn, said:—I live within four miles of Brownsville; I am slightly acquainted with tho prisoner; between tho hours of 7 nnd 8 Sunday evening, the 25th Nov., Quinton, my youngest son Stephen and myself were eating supper in our cabin when Cooper unexpectedly knocked at the door; I said "Come in"; he entered with a rifle and asked me if my name was John H. Bosustow; I Baid yes; he said "my wife has beon annoyed" and bo* fore I could say anything lie etruok a blow across iny head with the butt end of the rifle; it staggered mo and I foil back on a bench; he then attacked Quinton dealing him two violent blows with the muzzle of tho same riflo; Quinton clutched the rifle with his hands, when Cooper drew a revolver and threatened to shoot Quinton and caught him by the leg and drapged him out of the door; when outside he gave him a severe poke in the side with the muzzle of the rifle; Mrs. Cooper then interfered and asked him to desist; that is all I remember. To Mr. Moresby:—Mrs. Cooper came over once; I never gave her authority to take my daughter away; I had an agreement Borne three months ago with Coopor to take a portion of his land on certain conditions; some timo afterward we had a misunderstanding and I threw up the job; I came to town next morning; I saw Coopor coming around the corner of the hous-t, when I was in tho bushes, with the revolver in his hand and swearing that ho would shoot me if he found me; it was a dark night; I could see by the light of a lantern; my little girl told mo ho had a revolver; 1 was not drunk on tho night of the occurrence. Oross-examinod by Mr. Jenna:—I came to this provinco from London, Eng.; I camo to better the prospects of my children; I have testimonials with me; Hived first at the Pitt River farm; I was not accused of burning tho building on the said farm; I was carrying on dairy work; I lost considerable property by the fire, and was compelled on that account to relinquish the farm and then I came to Sapperton; I had charge of the buslneu In the Cleveland Hotel before I made the arrangements with Cooper; I remained about three weeks on the farm and during that time I was good friends with Cooper; 1 worked on the ground that waa pointed out to me by an old settler as being Cooper's land; I remarked to Mrs. Cooper that she was occupying a portion of Usher's land; Cooper entered my house on the even- in question a little in advance of bis wife; he charged mo with annoying his wife. Dr. Bentley gave evidence as to the wounds found en Bosustow and Quinton when examined by him. Arthur Quinton gave hii evidence, which substantially corroborated Boa- ustow's.

Moody was here addressing the largest audiences, perhaps, ever assembled in Westminster and winning all hearts by his simple presentation of the gospel. Hundreds professed to have been specially helped and blessed by his ministry, In return he would accept of nothing from na except the amount of his hotel bill, paying his own travelling expenses to and from the oity. This he was able to do because backed by wealthy men who Bee all his personal expenses paid. It is well known, however, that Mr. Moody Is carrying on largo training schools for Christian workers, at his home In Northfietd, Mass., these schools being sustained by voluntary contributions. It has been suggested t) at a trifle from each of the hundreds who were ao much helped by his preaching would form a very nice little memento of his visit to us, and cheer tho heart of a man who Is always ready to help others. Let all who approve of this way of showing our gratitude hand in their contributions during this week to Mr. D. 8. Curtis, trees, of the Moody committee, or to any of the city pastors and forward to Mr. Moody In Portland. 50 cents by 200 people— ?100. One Who Was Helped .*»■■■-».■■*> Tbe Seott Read Aialn* Editob Columbian.—With your permission, I would reply to Wm, Murray's lettor of the 15th Novembor, with reference to work done on Scott Road Murray's letter is a falsehood, excepting one item which says: "Had Gray expended the money, there would have been no complaint, I quite agree with him in this, aa I would have cat all the brash, put one foot of gravel on whero tho mud was applied, and a sufficient depth of gravel wherever required, the whole length of tho road, for the $400, Headers of The Columbian aro aware of Mr. Sprott, in connection with a hotel-keeper near Langley, expending $400 on Scott's rood, and all the benefit to the rood bed oould bo done easily for $10: 30 feet of corduroy, 4 culverts slightly repaired, 1 piece of corduroy tn a bridge, with a few ferns trimmed off the Bides of the road—these few items coat $400. Why did the charge d'affaires for the district in road matters apply to a retailer of whiskey to repair roads, when practical men wero at hand? The Whiskey man would bo sure to employ men who would pass the most of their earnings over his bar—''blow it in." This work is a disgrace and hu left tho wagon track worse than before interfered with. Thla work shows the error of bringing men 18 or 20 miles to do work on roads in which they are not interested any further than to draw their pay. Men who live on the roads and travel them would seo that the work was do.o. properly, on their own account, as well as for the benefit of the travelling public. I have never before known a man holding a liquor license to have the expending of publio* funds. When a hotel man is approached there is something going on. Perhaps he is an influential man, as all whiskey men are said to bo, and has done services last election, or may keep the boys solid for a future election. As Murray only appeared on the road once or twice a week, if lie was not behind his own bar the balance of the time, where was he, while the men were trimming fern on the roadsides, wbloh was no benefit to the road whatever, Tho wagon track should have been the first consideration, and then, if there was any money to be thrown away, do that later. But cutting fern was easy and pleasant work and no boss to hurry. This accounts for ub having to slush through mud and water to the hubs at the present time. If the government does their duty they will dismiss Mr. Sprott at once, tio him loose, as he hu proved himself unworthy to feed at the publio crib. Now, I understand thero is 860 moro to be fooled away on the road. I would suggest that Mr. Sprott, if allowed to remain in office long enough, send this money up to Langley and let Murray "set 'em up for the boys" during the holidays. It might be the best means of keeping them solid until tholr services are required, as the money would have no beneficial effect to the rood if spent under the present management. Mr. Murray brings certain charges against the undersigned for not doing work according to agreement. That is false. There is no truth in it. He would have people to believe he took the logs off the road which have accumulated since repaired by me; but by passing over the road they will be fouud untouched, and, as for cleaning out road ditch to drain my own farm, that was done at my own expense. It would bo of groat advantage to the merchants of Westminster to have this road kept in good repair, as it is tho entry to the city from Mud Bay and also from Boundary Bay. Farmers can bring no produce over it, Thoy have to seek a market elsewhere. The government has made a good corduroy road from the end of Scott's road to Ladner's Landing, which is equal to a plank road, aud yet Scott's road is impassible. Now, thla state of things is discriminating against Westminster. Produce ia brought to Ladners that would come to the city. And where produce is sold supplies are bought. If Westminster don't see to the leading roads being kept in order, they will feel the effect in business. Robert Grav. Soseph ltusau, Percy, writes: "I was induced to try Dr. Thomu' Eclectric Oil for a lameness which troubled me for three or four years, and I found It the best article I ever used. It hu been a great blessing to me." Frauds may imitate Dr. Thomu' Eclectric Oil in appearance and name, but in everything else they are a dead failure. LATE CANADIAN NEWS.
