Iu u race between a zebra uud au ostrich, held in Zanzibar recently, tho prize was given the rider of tlio zebra, although the ostrieh came iu 100 yards ahead. The zebra's j ickey claimed that his rival won on a fowl and tho judge sustained him. A biography of the lute Emperor Frederick of Germany will bo published in London shortly. It will relate solely to his domestic life. It is believed that his widow is the author of the work. Her name is appended to the preface. The profits derived from the sale of the book will be devoted to u hospital for the treatment of diseases of tho throat. Tho Now York Herald is authority for the statement that not a singlo cigar-maker in Florida has been attacked with yellow fever, and that Southern physicians recommend cigar-smoking as a preventive. If it is a fact, says an exchange, it is well worth knowing, and doctors would do well to enquire whether tobacco smokers enjoy immunity from other diseases, such as smallpox. An exchange says: Shakespeare's advice to girls about the selection of a husband is the best in print, without excepting poor Richard and Hannah More. " Dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and uncoined constancy, for he, perforce, must do thee right, because he hath not the gift to woo in other places; for these fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves into ladies' favor, they do always reason themselves out again. What, a speaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a ballad, a good leg will fail; a straight back will stoop; a black beard will turn white; a curled pate will grow bald; a full eye will wax hollow; but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and moon, or rather the sun, und not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps its course truly." Tho London Daily Telegraph has rocently closed the correspondence on the question "Is Marriage a Failure V It received in all 27,000 letters on the subject, and the conclusion it arrives at is as follows: "The oonsensus of letters is over whelmingly strong against early marriage. Our law ought, we think, to forbid marriage to young men under 21 and to young women under 17. Among the working classes especially this would produce, we think, an excellent effect, Then, also, it is clear to our mind that the law of divorce must be enlarged to permit dissolution of marriage for desertion, for lunacy, for confirmed inebriety, for conviction of dis ._ce ful crimes, as likewise for established incompatibility of temper and temperament, such as a just and prudent judge would admit to be adequate. That the marriage service as it stands calls also for alteration has been abundantly demonstrated by these letters, and the sooner his Grace, the Primate, finishes with the Athanasian Greed and turns his attontion to passages in that service which shock young minds nnd disconcert older onos, the bettor." Dr, Bryco, secretary of the Ontario Board of Health, has been interviewed by a Buffalo reporter on methods of guarding against the spread of small-pox, and is reported to have stated that it is impossible to disinfect a house where small-pox has beon save by the heroic plan of burning it down, nnd that there is littlo danger of infection until a patient roaches the pustular stage of the disease. The Buffalo Evening News challenges tho accuracy of both those statements, and says in regard to the first that medical experience has shown ugniti and again that houses can be disinfected absolutely, and with reference to thu second, that competent authority asserts thnt small-pox is infectious at nil stages. It adds that many patients never reach the pustular stage, the premonitory fever breaking tliom down so that they die before there is timo for tho eruption to commence, It is of importance that the point in reference to the danger of infection from patients sho.ild be absolutely determined, as Dr, Bryce's theory, if acted upon, would, in tho event of its boing incorrect, lead to grave dangers. But in the meantime who can decide when doctors disagree, for there is no doubt that tho Buffalo critic was inspired by a medical man. Do not delay in getting relief for the littlo folks.

TUB ATLANTIC SERVICE, London, Oct. 17.—Tho 2'imes continues to publish lettors pointing to the importance of the coming decision of the Canadian government respecting the Atlantic mail cervico. Undoubtedly thero is a growing opinion that unless Canada initiates an Atlantic service equal to tlio New York service bIio must fail in her efforts to establish a route to eaBt via tho C. P. R. It is slated to-day that negotitntiona are proceeding for a Canadian Pacific mail service to Australia. It is reported that the promoters expect on imperial subsidy equal to that granted to the eastern lino in addition to a joint colonial subsidy of fifty or sixty thoutand pounds. This is probably premature, but it iB pointed out that unless the Atlantic section of the through route can be completed as speedily as by the New York service, Canada will be unable to compete with the existing routes to Australia. THE HIVES NILE. Lonoon, Oct. 17.—There is a fust growing fear among the Egyptian natives that the preient low stago of the Nile, unprecedented in recent years, ii due to the machination! of the Mahdi. It is argued that tho ancients wero fully aware that it was possible to deflect the course of the Nile, and in support of this argument the exponents of this theory quote Ezekicl, 29 ch. v. 3 and ch. S v. 11, and Isaiah in, v. 5, threatening tho destruction of Egypt and tho turning ol her waters from their courses. It is further alleged that tho king of Abyssinia in 1704 threatened a Turkish Pallia at Cairo to avail himself of hii power to turn the Nile from the course at some point in an unexplored region through which the great rivor runa and many persons not sharing the fanaticism of the Mah- di's followers aro inclined to believe that he too has discovered the place snd the means of putting Egypt to death slowly by drying up her fountains of life. TYRANNY CAUSED HIS DEATH. BacssEis, Oct. 17i —The official account of the death of Major Bnrttolot haa been received, which gives tho following particulars: Major Barttelot had become exceasivcly annoyed at the din caused by Temas attached to' the expedition in tho capacity of porters, etc., practising singing and drumming at the early hours of the morning and late in the hours of tho evening" On the morning of July 10th, in spite of the attempt of Captain Bonny tu dissuade him, he proceeded along to the tent whence came the sounds of drumming. Shortly afterward a shot was heard, and Major Barttelot's body waa found in front of the hut with a bullet hole in hii breast and hia clothing near the wound burned with gunpowder. Professor Jamieton hearing of the ahootiug next day, returned to Major Barttelot'i camp but found that the natives had departed taking with them the stores. Mr.Jamieson then retracked his route to Stanley Falls leaving Captain Bonny at •Arurimi. Tippo Tib, the report sayi, wa! intensely grieved at the death of Major Barttelot; he had often, ho said, warned him (Barttelot) against his excessive harshness to the natives undor him and prodicted dire results of his persistent overbearing and even brutal practices. Another rolief expedition is regarded as almost impossible. TO-DAY'S DESPATCHES. A SUSPICIOUS EVENT.

Hardly less atrocious and equally mysterious and unsolvnble with the fiendish Whitechapel murders is the diabolical Gait (Ont.) candy poisoning ease. According to a despatch published in this paper over a week ago, there arrived, on the evening of the'4th nut., at the Gait postoffico, three separate packages, post marked Toronto and addressed to Mrs. John Oherry, Miss May Lowell and Mn. Ridley, wife of Rev. John Ridley, of the English church. All three, as wu subsequently ascertained, contained chocolate oandies into which strychnine had been inserted. One of Mrs. Cherry's children, little Met* Oherry, died from eating the chocolate!, and three other children became ill with symptoms of poisoning. As wai natural, this startling incident created intense feeling in Gait, and, in fact, throughout eastern Canada generally, which is by no moans being abated as tbe investigation proceeds. It seems very difficult to get hold of a definite clue or to conceive any motive for such a dastardly attack upon the lives of innocent people. Some dark secrets evidently remain to be unearthed and the denouement, when it dees come, promises to discount some of the deep-dyed plots of the stage. An important discovery has already been made, namely, that the box containing the candy addressed to Mrs. Oherry, although post marked Toronto, came originally from Gait, thus tracing the murderous villain to the near vicinity of his victims, and proving that the posting at Toronto, by an accomplice, was merely a blind to baffle investigation and put the officers of the law on a false scent. A late number of the Toronto Empire, in the course of a lengthy report of the investigations into this strange case, throws out the following suggestive and sensational hints: " Another of the interested parties * * * ■ communicated some startling information to the Empire correipondent, but it being in the interest of justice to withhold main facts for a short time, this information cannot at preient be published. It is sufficient to say that if this party be correct a thrilling denouement is not far off. Very few days will suffice to prove or disprove the accuracy of his views. It only remains to verify certain facts, and the end .will, he claims, have been reached when certain parties, against whom not a breath of suspicion has ever been pointed, will be placed upon trial lor their lives for as fiendishly a contrived plot as has ever been recorded in the annals of criminal juriiprudence. Parties—for there is more than one interested— as thoroughly conversant with the details of the every day life of the intended victims and the purpose of the crime, in so far as two of tho parties are concerned, is clearly indicated. The person who gives information is considered to be a shrewd, clever man, who usually knows whereof he speaks, and who ii in a better poiition to obtain inside facts than any one interested in clearing up the mystery." That the mystery may be speedily cleared up and swill) punishment meted out, wherever it may fall, must be the universal desire, and will be awaited with interest by all. crat ticket in the state shall have been elected it will vote " solid " for Cleveland and Thurman; if the Republican ticket, it will vote for Harrison and Morton. It must be remembered, however, that there is no law compelling an elector to vote with his ticket; he may, if he choose, vote for the candidates of another party, but it is sufficient to say that he never does. Good care is always taken to place men in the college of whose loyalty to their party there is no doubt, but even should an elector feel inclined to desert his party at such a time he would doubtless find the experiment a dangerous one in more ways than one. The ballots cast by the electors in oaoh state are transmitted under seal to the president of the senate at Washington, and that official in presence of congress assembled opens and counts them. The person having the greatest number of votes for president he declares duly elected, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed. If no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three, the house of representatives immediately chooses one for president by ballot by states. A similar method is followed in the case of the vice president, except that where a ballot is necessary tho number of candidates taken from the list is only two, and the vote is taken in the senate, a majority of the whole number of senators being necessary to a choice. On March 4 inauguration takes place. As the tickets elected in the various states in November are morally certain to vote " solid " in tho college, the proceedings on the second Monday in January are purely formal, and the result of tbe popular vote is a sure indication of the final result. The number of electors in the college, as at present constituted, is 401, and 201 votes, therefore, ere necessary to a choice. Certain states are usually conceded to either of the two great parties. The Democrats, for instance, are secure in the southern states, which gives them 153 votes in the college, while the states which are ordinarily counted safe for the Republicans have 182 votes. This leaves the Democrats 48 votes, and the Republicans 19, to make up from among the doubtful states. The latter are New York, with 36 votes; Indiana, with 15; New Jersey, with 9; and Connecticut, with G. It is on these doubtful states,- of course, that the result really hinges, and, with the assistance of the foregoing statement of the case, the reader with a penchant for solving riddles and balancing nice probabilities may, perhaps, be able to satisfy himself as to which candidate for the first office in the land " will come out ahead. Although not pining for citizen ship in Uncle Sam's domains, we cannot help taking a friendly interest in the " sayings " and " doings " of our big neighbor to the south ind in view of the foot that a presidential campaign is now in progress down there, an explanation of the fearful and wonderful morfu* operandi by which the ingenious Yanks make t practical application of their preferences for president and vice- president cannot fail to be of interest to most of our readers. It may not be generally known that the election ii not by popular vote, The vote out on November 6th next will be for memben of an electoral college, which in its turn, on the second Monday in January, will proceed to elect the president and vice-presi dent The names of Messrs.

When, in consequence of ago and disease, tho hair becomes weak, thin, and gray, Ayer'.*- Hair Vigor will strengthen it, restore Its original color, promote its rapid and vigorous growth, and impart to it the lustre and freshness of youth. I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a long time, and am convinced of its value. When I was 17 years of age my hair began to turn gray. I commenced using the Vigor, and was surprised at the good effects it produced. It not only restored tho color to my hair, but so stimulated its growth, that I have now moro hair than over before.— J. W. Edwards, Coldwnter, Miss.

In reference to a despatch in theso columns, yesterday, from London, England, announcing that a number of leading British Columbia canners wore arranging to bring out 120 Crofter families to supplant the Indians and Chinese in the canneries, a representative of Thb Columbian intot-viewed a number of the largest salmon packers to-day for the purpose of ascertaining the worth of the despatch. Without exception they all denied any knowledge of the reported scheme, and are decidedly averse to it. They have enquired into tho adaptability of, nnd in several Instances have been in contact with, the crofters, and have concluded that these people would not be suitable for salmon fishing in British Columbia and that they would never be able to supplant the Indians, who are the best fishermen on the coast. The Indians, the*/ say, have been brought up to the fishing from childhood, and thoroughly understand the smallest details of tho business. In fact, they declare the scheme to be impossible aud without foundation, and one that can never be realized on the Pacific coast. Tbe Sir. Duniriiulr. The sir. Robert Dunsmuir, owned by Capt. Rogers, remodelled and re* built and practically a new boat, is ex* pected to leave for Westminster on Friday. The steamer, formerly a side- wheeler, has been transformed into a twin screw propeller, and hor old engines replaced by compound tandem engines of 120 horse power, built by tho Albion Iron Works Co. from plans suggested by Mr. W. A. Russell, steamboat inspector. A speed of ten miles per hour is guaranteed. The steel boiler is as good ns new, having only been in uso about three years. By tho alterations to the Dunsmuir her carrying capacity has been increased 60 per cent. Almost all the woodwork is new, including the rails, sides, cabins and fittings throughout. The cabin deck has been extended about seven feet forward, and every improvement that would increase her utility or comfort has been made. Yesterdsy afternoon the new engines started for the first time and worked splendidly from the moment the steam was turned on. The new Blake air purnp was also tested and was found to give entire satisfaction. The Detroit lubricator, a very unique and convenient mechanical device, is attached to the engines and is found to answer tbo purpose perfectly. It consists of a small oil tank, with which a small ateam pipe connects. The pressure of the steam forces a single drop of oil out of the tank into the cylinder, the automatic oiling being either fast or slow, ns desired. The Dunsmuir resumes her place on the Westminster, Nanaimo and Comox route next Wednesday.— Colonist. A Clever Capture. Early last spring an Indian named Jimmy, from Spuzzum, severely cut and stabbed a Lytton Indian named Charley, and a warrant charging him with cutting and wounding with intent to murder was issued against him. This occurred at Vancouver nnd Mr. Moresby, governor of the provincial gaol, took an active part in trying to secure his arrest. Jimmy escaped before the warrant was issued and no trace of him could be found or knowledge of his whereabouts learned so well did he cover his tracks. Mr. Moresby had never seen Jimmy and his only chance of identifying the rascal was from the description obtained from other Indians. This morning while the police court was in session Mr. Moresby, as usual, dropped in to observe the pro* ceedings nnd his attention was directed to the Siwash in the box, charged with drunkenness and assault, and who favored the description of the Indian connected with tho Vancouver stabbing affray. A glance at tho police court record showed the prisoner's name to be Jimmy, which decided Mr, Moresby, and, as the Indian stopped from the box a free man he arrested him on the charge mentioned above. Jimmy was surprised and showed signs of objecting, but he was quickly transferred ton cell in the lock-up, where he is now detained. Further enquiries by Mr. Moresby among the Indiana present proved that the right nnn wus caught. The case will oitthe up fnr a hearing to-morrow* morning at the police court. This olever capture reflects the highest credit on tlio ability of Mr. Moresby, but it is not by any means tho first case worthy of mention in which this untiring and zealous officer has distinguished himself. Ml British CelusfcU fthlBglM. *' A New York firm are about to begin to handle in New York Oregon ci-dtir shingles. Of course this means tint thu shingles aro to bo shipped something liko '1,500 miles, but the dealers aro confident that the shingle commend itself to the public, nnd that it can be successfully sold in competition with shingles not bo good, which may be manufactured nearer the field of consumption. The Oregon cedar shingle as nearly approaches perfection as anything in the cedar line that is made, and it need be no matter of surprise if it makes headway among tho purchasers, even in the New York market." The above, from the Mississippi Valley Lumberman, will give some idea of whut can be done iu shipping British Columbia shingles eastward. The British Columbia shingles are equal iu every respect to the Oregon article, and if the latter can be sent to New York, British Columbia shingles should bo able to find a profitable market in Eastern Canada. No doubt all that is required is a reasonable rate of freight from the C. P. R. British Columbia cedar shingles now find a ready sale all over Manitoba and the territories.— Winnipeg Commercial. Steamboat Liquor Selling. We have received a communication —anonymous with the exception of initials—addressed to "up-river settlers," and asking them how long they are going to submit to the practice of tho river steamboats selling liquor at the landings. The writer states, among other things, that the recent murder near Stave River is attributable to liquor procured from this source. This may or may not be the case. Steamboat liquor, of course, is neither better nor worse than the article obtained on shore, nnd in certain coses will produce the same results. It is a matter of history and every.day experience that alcohol precipitates tho worst passions in many men, and thus becomes responsible for a great many crimes that would not have been otherwise commit* ted, besides doing untold mischief otherwise; but its sale, both on land and water, is overwhelmingly sanctioned by the people of this province, through their representatives—as has been demonstrated time and again— and a considerable change must tako place in public opinion before any adequate remedy can be hoped for. It does seem unjust, though, that certain communities who have vetoed the liquor business within their own bounds should have the evil brought to their doors in the manner indicated by our correspondent. This iB a grievance of long standing, and, owing to the nature of the case, we are afraid it will be difficult to draw such u line as may effectually put a stop to the evil complained of. However, if the communities direct!*' affected are sincere in their opposition to this practice, they will leave no stone unturned to do away with the evil, and they will havo the sympathy of right-minded people in their efforts. We would respectfully ask our correspondents, in writing articles for publication, to write more carefully and coherently, and to inclose their full name, even if they do not wish it published.
