Eiuporor William, doubtful as to what English feeling may be towards him on his visit to London in July, has inspired the semi-official declaration that the emperor's supposed dislike to the English is a mistake, and that, after Germany, he loves England most. Miss Marie Devoe (at the cooking- school(—"Do you mean to say, chef, that we must put our bare hands into the dough!" Professor Tar- iopornes—"Sairtainly, MWselle," Miss Marie Devoe—"Perhaps that is why I failed with my bread the last time. My gloves seemed rather in tho way."

Action was taken by the Victoria board of trade on tho Mission bridge span in conjunction with the New Westminster board of trade. Vancouver's board had a meeting, but nothing is reported of any action in this matter having been taken. Was it forgotten, or were those present afraid to deal with the sub. jeoti— ll'orf'. A teacher in n western town who asked ono of hor pupils to procure a grammar received the following note from the girl's mot her: "I do not desire that Mattie shall ingage in grammar as I prefer her to ingage in moro youseful studies and can learn her to speak und write pi-opor myself.

The Bishop .1 Gibraltar, having taken counsel with the Anglican clergy of Riviera, has como to tho conclusion that it is not expedient to build n church in Monte Oarlo, on the ground that the place is too wicked. "I came," said the Bishop to Monte Oarlities, "not to call the sinners but the righteous to repentance." Such out-and-out cynicism is so startling in a bishop that I cannot help thinking there must be some other motive behind. Is his Lordship of Gibraltar afraid that the temptations of Monaco might prove too much for a resident, chapluin I—london Truth. In tho house of commons on tho 27th of March, Sir John Macdonald in reply to a question by Mr, Prior, in rogard to the action of tho government on the Behring sea matter said. The government have received no official notification from the government of the United States in regard to the proclamation. The government havo not entered a protest against suoh action on the part of tho United States as they do not think that the question afFooting tho navigation of Behring sea is involved in the proclamation. The proclamation is merely to warn their own fishermen as well as others, and issued under the aet approved on March 2nd, 1889. It is not surprising to learn from the Windsor Record that Windsor has long desired to possess a park. That is the natural desire of every well-ordered town, and wise be they who aim at consummating their wishes iu this respect. Few places have tho gcod fortune, however, to be presented freo of charge with a tract of land comprising 46 acres of a suitable sight within tho town for a'park, and this is what has happened to Windsor through the generosity and publio spirit of Mr. Hiram Walker. The land is valued ut fifty thousand dollars, and is a gift twice blessed, reflecting credit upon the donor and conferring a benefit upon the recipients. "Show mo a country" said a very wise philosopher once, "whoro people aro getting married wholesale, and I will show you a oountry that is highly prosperous." Taking this philosophic dictum as a sound basis to work upon, wo havo an additional proof that the Gape Colony is prosperous. During the first weok of tho prosperous year no less than 70 ccuples wore married in Oape Town alone, and during tho second week over 00 couples took the wild leap into the troubled sea of matrimony together. Proportionately to the population this is a splendid average. A local paper accounts for tho fact that tho weekly number has somewhat diminished sinco by the statement that "aspirants are waiting to see how the first big batch get along."—Ex. J. S.

DEFENCES, Ottawa, April 10.—The intention just expressed by the naval authorities at Washington to establish another navy yard on tbe Pacific cout near Seattle, has ereated considerable commotion in government circles here and aroused the officials. At a cabinet meeting juat held tbe Seattle announcement was disouaacd and General Frederick Middleton, commander of the forces, was instructed to draw up a communication to the home government indicating the urgency of the fortification of Esquimalt. The Canadian government realizes the contest botween Victoria and Vancouver- British Columbia sea-ports, and Seattle, Portland and Tacoma, for trado supremacy. This was brought to their attention by the 0. P. R., which has everything to make by building up the Canadian Pacific coast and everything to lose by tbe inaction of the government, A navy yard at Seattle means a tremendous rush of good people to Washington, who have in most coses been assisted to the coast by the railway or the government, and who are very much dissatisfied with matters there, as indicated by letters received east by the dozen daily. The members of parliament for British Columbia intend to catechise the government ngain next week on the question, as they did lastVah'd Senator Mclnnes, of B. C, is very outspoken in his indignation at the vicillatiou and procrastination of the imperial authorities, SAILED FOIl THE NOBTHEKN SHORES. San Francisco, April 10.—Tlio U. S.

Ottawa, April 9.—The Becond reading of the bill to provide for the conveyance of certain lands to British Columbia, took place in the senato today. Senator Abbott said that the bill was for tbe purpose of enabling the government to reconvey to tho province of British Oolumbia a tract of 45,000 acres of land which was conveyed to the government of Canada as part of the railway belt by mistake. The intention was not to convey to the Dominion any lands which bad been previously disposed of to any person, and where a tract cf 200,000 acres, which had been set apart for a certain purposs from which theae 45,000 acres wore selected, ia claimed, and he believed it is understood with justice, by the person to whom the land was promised by the British Columbia government, and this measure is to enable the provincial government to fulfil its agreement. In tho house this afternoon tho bill respecting the collection of certain tolls and dues was read a third time and passed. Hon. C. H.

Ho will not assist at the mcetinc, aa the unionist leaders have warned him that hie Appearance ou the platform would be the signal for nu uproar oii the port of those who dissent from hiB political course. The history of the deal between the unionist and tbe tories wMi regard to the nomination of candidates for the central division of Birmingham is gradually oozing out. It appears tbet Lord Hartlngton favored the candidacy of Lord Randolph Churchill and tbe tories woro quite willing he should stand. But Mr. Chamberlain insisted upon the nomination of Mr. Bright and threatonded to disrupt the union iat-tory coalition if Lord Randolph Churchill Bhould be selected. The radical leader was remonstrated with but to no purpose, and finally rather than the face the certainty of losing tbe Beat, the Hartingtou faction . deferred to his wishes. Daattld Traihs.

By an ndvertisomont in the ' Weekly Columbian, tbe post oflice inspector makes tbo notification that "sealed tenders, addressed to the postmaster-general, will be received at Ottawa until noon, on Friday, 17th May, for tbe conveyance of her majesty's mails on n proposed contract for four years twice per week each way, between Elgin nnd New ■Westminster, from thn 1st July next. The conveyance to be made on horseback or in a vehicle, nt the option of the contractor. To leave Elgin every Wednesday and Saturday at 7 a.m., to proceed to New Westminster, and get btuk to Elgin with return mail on the evenings of the same days." Further informa tion, blank formBof tender, ifec., may be obtained at the post offices at this city, Mud Bay, and Elgin, and at the office of the inspector, Victoria. The most important point, however, in connection with the above announcement is tho fact that the thriving settlements of Elgin and Mud May will have, after the 1st July next, a semi-weekly, instead of a weekly, mail service, a change whioh cannot but be appreciated. Our readers are aware that we have on quite a number of occasions urged the postal authorities, not only to grant this additional service on the mail route mentioned above, but also on the other route south of this city supplying the settlements of Surrey Centre,-Olover Valley, Hall's Prairie and Langley Prairie. Wo believe the authorities have in contemplation furnishing the last mentioned settlement with a semi-weekly service rift Langley, instead of from this city, as at present. If this intention is carried out, there will be but three settlements remaining with a weekly service, and these will be supplied, with a daily service, probably, when tbe Westminster- Southern gets iu running order. It is high time that tbe wants of the various settlements in the matter of increased mail facilities were being met, and wu are glad to be able to say that the prospect is good for this being done. With respect to the moderate subsidy asked for the establishment of a daily mail service between this city uud the North Arm, a matter which is at present before the Dominion authorities, and to which we have referred on former occasions, wo would urge upon the postal authorities, again, the propriety of assisting, to the extent of the subsidy asked, to the establishment of the service required. The advantages and the necessity of this service have been sufficiently set forth before, a fact which, we trust, the result may prove has not been lost upon the government. Mr. Gladstone's affectionate title of "The Grand Old Man" is ono whioh ia peculiarly appropriate and, from association and usage, applicable to him alone of living men. Thore is only one Gladstone. The great Liberal leader is generally conceded to be an unique figure in British politics to-day, as well as in the world of oratory and letters. The native eloquence of the ex-premier is something of which his auditors never tire, but to listen to this matchless speaker and profound reasoner is a pure treat, upon all occasions, and on any subject that he essays, That fell paralyzer, age, has not, impaired the "Grand Old Man's" physical vigor nor dimmed the fires of bis soul, but his words pour forth vehement, forceful, inspiring, ns of yore. An English correspondent of the Toronto Mail draws some interesting pictures and comparisons relating to the occasion of Mr. Gladstone's recent eulogistic oration in parliament on the lato John Bright. Mr. Gladstone came in at a quarter to four, says the correspondent, looking wonderfully freth aud vigorous, nnd ho at once entered into conversation with Sir William Vornon Harcourt. Ko nervous fumbling for notes, no signs of intense pre-occupntion, are ever visible when Mr. Gladstone has to speak. One moment he is talking in a lively manner to the person nearest hira,*»the next he is standing at the table rolling forth his mellow periods. The miseries of public speaking havo Ionic since passed out of his recollection, even if he ever experienced them. After the Hon. W. H. Smith's address, Mr. Gladstone immediately followed, and his ' oration and its' effects are thus desoribed by the writer above referred to: "Hie first few sentences showed that he was rather hoarse, as well he might be, considering the exposure to bitter Scotch weather which he had to go through last week * but whether his voice be hoarse or clear hii stylo is always immeasurably superior to that of any other man in tke house, and the standard by whioh we wen #We to judge of what was supplied. Before the proceedings mmiim the comparison must have convinced the most confirmed opponent of Mr. Gladstone that there tt no one «ho oan distantly approach himinelSuence. He brought into prominmoe with equal skill and feeling the marked features of Mr. Bright's publio life,, dwelling much upon the moral elevation of his character. Full of generosity, too, was his eulogium, for it gave the heartiest praise to Mr. Bright for those very passages in his career in which he bad been opposed by Mr. Gladstone—the war of secession, and so forth. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright held conflicting views on these events, and now the venerable leader of the Liberal party admitted that Mr, Bright had shown true foresight. All through the address was couched in that elevated strain which alone is tolerable on such an occasion, and in which Mr. Gladstone is absolutely without an equal. He came to an end much too soon, to the general regret of the house, which had listened to every word with admiration," Tho writer adds: "Mr. Chamberlain got up and made what people called a characteristic speech, that is be quickly brought things down to the level of these prosaic days. We could now compare the new school with the old, Mr. Chamberlain with Mr. Gladstone. Broad and deep indeed is tho chasm which divides them. Mr. Gladstone talked of Mr. Bright's exalted purity and noble aims, Mr. Chamberlain began to tell of hiB pecuniary relations with his consti tuents. 1 have beard and read some strange funoral orations, but that a gentleman should rise upon such an occasion and say in effect, -Our or gam'zation, which I called into existence, was perfect, and we never let the deceased pay his own eleotion expenses'—this I think is something new in necrological literature. He who drinks beer thinks beer wus the dictum of Dr. Johnson, and I suppose that be who loves money dearly will think money, but at such a time and over such a man it was out of place to talk of eleotion expenses. 'Mr. Bright was a good man and we sent hiin free of cost/ After that, the epitaph 'She painted in water colours and of such is the Kingdom of Heaven' fades away into , insignificance. Thus it came to pass that smiles were seen on the lips of many members as they left the house in spite of the sadness and solemnity of the occasion."

RALPH'S APOLOGY. , Tbe Lesson Taught by a Mother'* Love and Devotion. . Ab Ralph Darrow rode slowly through tho main street of the little country town "Not another word, sir," interrupted his father, in a tone whioh always sent the blood from Ralph's heart. "I want tho work done, and I want you to do tt Tour sprained arm is merely an excuse to bo idle. If this stable is not cleaned when 1 return to-night I will give you cause to regret it; and I positively forbid your allowing Moses to touch it."' He sprang on his horse, and rode off at a gallop, heedless that his sou hod sunk upon a heap of laths, and had covered his face with his hands to conceal the tears that started to his eyes. Mrs. Darrow had been standing by tho kitchen window, and had heard all that had passed. Sho now camo to whero Ralph lay, and bent lovingly over hlm. " It would not be possible for you to uso your arm, I know, my son," Bhe said. " It would be of no uso to try." " Ob, mother, it gives me pain to move it ever bo little. But whatcan Idol You know how terribly father will whip me if the work isn't done, and he won't believe I'm net able to do it." " Don't worry about it now, Ralph. Wo will try to find a way out of it, I want you to go to Greenfield after somo groceries I need, and when you return we will talk about tho stable." Talking won't do any good, I'm afraid, mother," replied Ralph, as he rose, and went to put tho harness on Dolly. " And I must take the whipping, I suppose." He drove to tbe kitchen door on his return from tho village two hours later, and lifted from the light wagon the basket of groceries he had brought. " Whero Ib mother!" he asked of his littlo sister Jennie, who was skipping rope in tlio baok yard, u I don't know—she's been gone ever so long," answered the little girl. " I guess sho's in the stable hunting oggs." As old Dolly's hoofs struck tho stones of the paving at the entrance to tho barnyard, tho doors of the stable were' thrown open, and Ralph saw hiB mother standing inside, a shovel in her hand.

A New Variety uf Young Women That llat Suddenly llloi-souied Forth, Wo have dovoloped a now typn of girl, says tho Now York Maltaid ■ .*;> ->-<. She is bred upon puro nativo stock, but she Is to all Intents and purposes an intermit tonal girl. Half the debutantes last winter wore of this variety of girl and n vory Interesting variety it Is. Thoyepoak English, but they do it with a French or Gorman accent, and they haven't at all our frank, aboriginal ways, They look pretty, but it is with au odd foreign prottlness that temp;-; us to du*i them, as dealers In all sorts of wai-os do their choicest stock, "imported." Thoy aro curious, Engllsh-Contlnental-American hybrid girls. TMs the progress of their growth. They are born in the land of the free, etc., and hore they livo until thoy aro porhaps fourteen or fifteen years old. Thon momnu tokos them abroad, just at the formutivo period of thoir lives, and establishes thom in a pension or a private family. Thero tho foreign nurseryman prunes thom and trains them on trellises, encourages them in this direction, and ehecks them in tyat, doing hii- best by late cultivation to eradicate tho effects of running wild in our rank new soil. By and by when tho young woman la old enough to bo introduced mamma goes af ior hor and brings home the finished product. Mamma brings a foreign wordrobo at tho samo time, and gives a tea er a dinner or a dance to lot people see tMB exotic of hers. You know that Bho is an oxotlctho minute yon sot eyes on her. Sho hus lost the ease, tho freedom and the liberty of tho Amorlcan girl, sho has not put ou quite tlio primness of tho jeutejitle, but her bearing is the oddest commingling of the two. Thero is the natural impulsiveness funnily toned down by the acquired restraint. She does not dash into festivities with the confidence of young quoendom, -fearing notMug, suspecting nothing, onjoylng nil, pushing her mother Into tho background, as young America has done sometimes. Sho stands demure in her Worth gown bo* side mamma until a partner presents himself, and as soon as tho dance is over Is conducted straight book to mamma or chaperon, nothing of tho malo sex being permitted to exchange a dozen words with her away from the safe convoy of thut friend. Sho is under guardianship, strict guardianship, and the multiplication of the guarded typo Ib altering tho wholo complexion of tho social world. Thoy aro vory pretty, those comical, littlo Amorico-foreign girls, that step in the unaccustomed harness so gingerly, letting their heels fly .in spite of themselves in an involuntary caper sometimes. They are vory amusing with thoir small pruderies, for the uuaf* cctcd unconsciousness of your real European damsel who wasn't allowed to learn young thut sho was a person of Importance doesn't come by grafting. They aro an interesting' study, but tho faster they increaso tho more certainly we aro approximating foreign waya in yet another particular, tlio real power in society, ■ she who Ib its breath of life, is not the bud, but the young married woman who regains the freedom given up by the girl. At the Wrong Window. A good story Is told by the Troy (N. Y.) Timu at the expense of tho Amherst College Oleo Olub. About ten years ago the olub mado a trip through New York State, and lung in Rochester at the same time that Kate Fennoyer, a pretty stage singer, was thero. After the concert it was proposed to sorenodo tho lady, and the club proceeded to her homo and struck up the familiar col* logo hymn, "Dear Evelina," paraphrasing thochoniBthusly: " Desr Kate Ponnoyer, Sweet Kate Pcnnoyer, Our lovo for thee Shall never, never die." After singing tho entire long the boyi waited a moment for a recognition of their serenade. Slowly a window in the third Itory was raised, later a man olothed in robes of wMte and with wMikeri a foot long was seen, and then a bass solo was wafted down to tho collegians i "Dear boys below there. . Sweet boys below there, Your Kate Pennoyer Lives four doors below here." As the last words of his song died on the frosty air, the Amherst College Glee Olub gathered themselves up like Arabs and as silently stole away. What Wonld Stop Them.
