The Standard's correspondent al Vienna revives the languishing Aiistio-Uus- sian war scare by his assertions that the designs nf the Czar upon Constantinople. are of a most deliberate and determined character. The stambuloir Government nf Bulgaria, stands almosi entirely alone as an Impediment to Russian Influence in the Balkans, and this slight harrier, the correspondent asserts, is all that prevents Russia from taking Immediate action. If Ihis be true, and there is no renson to question the authority for the statement, the situation is indeed serious in the respect of llicirululity tn withstand a Russian invasion. Knumnnin is un heller oil' than Bulgaria, and there is a possibility that both of I hose countries will be occupied by Russian troops at a time not very remote. It is staled upon good authority that a number of the copartners of John Walter in ownership of thttTimet, intend to bring a suit in the Chancery Court to compel that gentleman to bear theex- fenses of the 'I'iims in its case versus the 'arnellites before Justice I Lumen's commission out of his own persona] fortune, The allegation which the action is based on is that Mr. Walters was Individually responsible for the publication of the "l'arnellisin and crime" articles, and the accompanying Recusations against Nationalist members, having printed them in spite of ihe remonstrances of his mote cautious associates. If tbe action should be successful Walters will be ruined financially. Lord Lytton, the British Ambassador at Paris, will lake a holiday ill England pending Ibe opening of Ibe exhibition.

He Didn't Secui to Understand HU Peculiar Girt. Tho following history ot a remarkable man, which wo compile from a sketch published in a Micliigun journal many years ago, tends to show that, notwithstanding the almost universal desire for unusual gifts, it ls, after all, tho dead level which is safest, since even physical strength and noble proportions, w-ticu in excess, may so ostracize and set apart a man as to make bis pre-eminence a positivu drawback to him. Tho first record wo have of Charles Freeman, tho subject of tills sketch, is that he appeared among other laborers on a western canal aliout tho year 1840, where his extraordinary strength and stature attracted much attention. Freeiuun is sold to have bean at that time 8 feet tall aud to bu vo measured 8 feet across the shoulders. His arms whore they sprang from his chest wero as large us a medium sized man's liody, and they tapered down toa hand not less limn II Inches In t.hl.*lrn«ft1 while, the fists could only be compared to a sledge hammer iu size aud strength. His ago was then 17 years, and he waa still growing in bulk. Ho received the wages of on ordinary workman, but his enormous strength mode him a most destructive one. Such a Titan should hare had giant tools mudo ou purpose for him, for when be seised an ordinary shovel it went through the clay like a breaking up plow, aud the handle soon caruo off If the blade held. An ordinary ax was but a feather in his hand; it sunk to the eye in the wood and the helve spUntered. He Eeemed quite incapable of measuring the force he laid out, like ordinary men. SHOVINO BOATS OVEB SHOALS. When lie stood among a gang of laborers the contrast made them look like children. The strolling Indians would stare at him in amazement a few moments, and then with a deep "Ugh" would hasten out of sight as rapidly as their dignity would permit. He was put to do tbe work of two pairs of oxen; to remove the trunks of trees, out in lengths of ten or twelve feet, out of the way of the diggers. He did not drag It aside as oxen would have done, but, putting his right 11 and under the end of the log, raising it from the ground, then balancing it across bis left forearm, ho shot it far out to one side with all the ease that a skilled workman piles split cordwood. And thus, day after day, the giant worked until tho canal was finished. Freeman's next appearance was on the boats that plied along the Huron river, in Michigan, where he was at once angina and tackle to handle heavy freight What others could not shove or roll he would pick up and carry, or perhaps toss. When the heavily freighted boat stuck on the tipples he often stepped out of the stern and pushed it over. The crew would havo scarcely been surprised if ho had taken both boat and cargo under his arm aud marched across by land whan they came to long bends in the river. It was not long after this time that some sporting men unfortunately heard of this uncelebrated giant and concluded that thsre was "money in liim." Freeman was as simple as a child. He lacked ambition, had no desire to exhibit or push himself, and possessed a most amiable disposition. Any one could load him, and he never appeared to realize that he was in anyway remarkable. This Innocence was taken advantage of by these sharpers, who determined to turn bis prodigious powers to their personal advantage. Accordingly, he was persuaded to accompany them to the eastern states under promise of far more profitable employment It ls not strange that in such company the good natured giant soon fell into bad habits. Unfortunately giants are only men, and th* gamblers who captured poor Freeman mads sport of him as tho Philistines made sport of the helpless Samson. It is related that at Buffalo thoy sent him into a dock saloon with a 1,000 pound anchor under his arm, much as a chopper carries bis ax, to pawn it for drinks. He got the liquor, and the barkeeper was glad to treat him for carrying the anchor out again, HE DIEO OV CONSUMPTION. Tho giant's now friends soon traveled to the sea coast and finally sailed forHugUni They intended to get the advantage of some English champion, but they found that they had an elephant on their hands. A friendly sparring match as an experiment, with a professional boxer, showed that for Freeman a match with any living pugilist was impossible. The giant's faoe could not be effectually reached. Blows on bis body might as well have been planted on a sand bag, while his blows were given with the force of a pile driver, and no matter what they mot, the obstacle went to the earth. By tho ruse of representing him aa large and strong, but wholly Ignorant of the science, his backers finally succeeded in making a match with a noted prise fighter. The part ies came on tho ground, but at tha first sight of Freeman his opponent turned away, saying: "I came to fight with a large man, not with a mountain." Tha seconds aud referees thereupon declared the match fairly "off." And now the unlucky giant became aware of tho worthlessness of his mercenary friends. While thero was a prospect that he could win fortunes for them they had lured him far away from his homo and his few humblo friends; but now, finding that no money was to bo made, thoy basely left him alone tn a strange land, without friends or resources. ■ From Michigan to Liverpool the style of living luul boon entirely new to the simple and temperately reared countrymen. Intemperance, lute hours and recklessness had undermined his hoalth, and a pulmonary trouble was developed. His enormous strength soon failed him, and, uncared for and helpless, ho shortly after died of consumption. At this time probably no human being knows his resting place. During Freeman's entire life no refining Influence cnino near him; no one tried to enlighten and beautify the mind and soul which might have informed and Irradiated his splendid body. So perished In his prime perhaps the most magnificent specimen of physical manhood that tho United States has ever produced.—Detroit Free Press, Points on Pins. Law has deigned to notice the pin. Not long before the close of the reign of Henry VIII, a law was passed entitled, "An Acta for the true Makyng of Pyunes," enacting that tho price should not be "more than 6s. 8d. a thousand." In tho days when phis were rare thoy were a very acceptable present j "instead of the gifts, a composition was sometimes received in money;" this was called, of course, pin money, a term which has been extended to a sum of money "secured by a husband on his marriage for the private expenses of his wife." Addison has recorded his dislike of what he calls "the doctrine of pin money;" "it ls," he writes in im-18. ''of late date, and it is for the Interests of both sexes to keep It from spreading." He proposed "needle money" as a better name, as It "would have implied something of good housewifery."—Qood Housekeeping The lirst of the season Riverside oranges, ; navel oranges and new cabbages can be obtained ut George Cavalsky's. * Japanese Catarrh Cure, sure euro fnr Catarrh, Cold in the Head.

A conference shortly to be lipid in Washington, between representatives of all the American countries, will give Mb. Blaine the opportunity nl' his life. He is the most conspicuous living exponent of the doctrine that the United States should cultivate close relations with the other nations of tlie Western hemisphere, and should tench them to look to it ns a leader and guardian. If, during his term of office, he can lay the foundations of a solid American system, he will win a reputation that will he worth more to him than the presidency, and the principal objects of the conference ns announced ore : First—Discuss some plan of arbitration for the settlement of disputes, that may hereafter arise between the different countries represented. Second—To consider questions relating to the improvement of business intercourse, and means of direct communication between them. Third—To devise uniform systems of weights and measures, silver coinage patent rights, copyrights and trade marks. Fourth—To encourage such reciprocal relations and customs union, as will be beneficial to all. There would appear to be n good many difficulties in the way of this programme se far as arbitration is concerned, it is already the general rule among all American powers ; although, of course, there have been some recent exceptions. The President of tlie United States has arbitrated to the satisfaction of nil parties boundary disputes between Paraguay and Brazil, and Costa Elca and Nicaragua. On tho second point, says an American exchange, the conference will have comparatively little tn do. If the United States decides either to grant subsidies to steamship lines, or lo abolish the dutieB on shipbuilding materials, it will have improved "meaiiB of direct communication " with the South American countries. The third item will present more difficulty. The uniform standard ol coinage will lie the stumbling block here, for while it would be easy enough to bring nil the various American dollars to a common basis, their free admission into circulation in the United States would, probably, upset their bi-metnllio syslem, and drive gold out of the country. But it is on the fourth proposition that Ma. Blaine's statesmanship is in most danger of shipwreck. It is hard to see how he can possibly carry out the objects of the conference in regard to a customs union and retain his standing in his party. Customs union with Mexico and her tropical neighbors would mean free oranges, lemons and sugar, and with the Argentine Republic it would mean free wool, and the question of wool duties was the central issue of the lust presidential campaign. says the McLeod Gazette, will he bailed with general satisfaction by the Northwest. It is to give the Northwest, after the present Legislature is expired, tbe samp control ol liquor legislation as is possessed by the Provincial Legislatures. Tlie bill was read the lirst time, and al- llinugb introduced late in the session, will probably gn through. This will bo. annther concession to the Northwest for which we can thank Mr. Dewdney and tbo other Northwest members. Tho only thing we regret is that the bill does nol empower the present assembly to deal with the ipiostion, and thus get a very vexatious matter disposed of. It is probable, however, thai Ibis irould not be dune, and we luayat least be thankful thai steps have been taken to definitely settle tile question, even if we must wait until the present assembly expires.

Suppose, however, that we should decline to enter into such an agreement on the ground thnt a free interchange of products is one of the privileges reserved for states which are members of our union. Would not, then, the feeling excited in Canada in favor of acquiring the treaty-making function and of employing it to effect commercial union with the United States tend to transform itself into a vehement impulse toward annexation."

At Landla valley a fox had been started and thirty-five hounds and a half dozen cross county riders were in lively pursuit. Tho trail led among tho fields and over tho hills fpr several miles, and then took tho hounds to tho turnpike. Thero, in tho mlddlo of tho piko, the scent was lost. The dogs maneuvered and beat about here, thero and everywhere, but tho ' trail could not be found. A teamster on his way to town with a load of hay had passod tho spot whero tho trail was lost in tho pike ' only a minute before tho hounds burst on the road In full cry. Tho teamster stopped on . seeing the pack and tho riders following ■ them, to watch tho result of tho maneuver- | ing. "Which way did ho go?" shouted one of the hunters. "Dunnol" the teamster shouted back, "Didn't seo him." After watching tho dog and the hunters for a few minutes tho teamster went on. The hunters unanimously declared that thero had never beforo been such an inoxplicablo loss of a fox's trail, und bad to givo up tho chase. After going a inilo or so, 08 ho tells tho story, tho teamster with tho hay stopped his horses to talk with an acquaintance ho met on tho road, and as thoy were talking a fox jumped 1 out of tho hay at tho rear end, landed tn tho road, and trotted leisurely away to cover. "Well, I'll bo jiggered!" suid tho teamster, and told his friend about tho way tho huuters had lost tho trail a mile back. They both concluded that tho only explanation of it was that the fox had jumped into tho road just behind tho load of hay as it was passing, and, being a cunning old customer, had jumped on the hay and burrowed into it out of sight tn> fore tho dogs camo up hi full cry. He had doubtless enjoyed tho discomfituro of both hounds and hunters, as it was revealed to him by tho short parloy with tho teamster, and when the wagon stopped a mile away from the last trail he had thought that a good opportunity to leave his hiding placoand had done so, At Falrville a party of hunters, with a largo pack of hounds, wero l*xl n long and circuitous choso by a fox, and at last tho trail took them to Farmer Edward lialler's garden. There tho scent was lost and could not bo recovered. The chase was abandoned. An hour later Mr, Hallor was looking out of a back window and was surprised to see tho fox jump out of a big Dutch oven In tho garden, the door of which Is four feet from tho ground, and hurry away to his native hills. During another chnso in Laudis valley tho fox led tho hunters aud dogs a long chase over a hard country and then struck for tho Lltitz pike, abovo HefTsvillo. Tho trail followed tho pike a long distance and then took to the fields again. Tho chaso lasted until late in tho afternoon, when tho fox threw tho hunters off tho scout. Toward night the fox's hiding placo was discovered by accident. It had entered a farm yard near Kissel hill and taken refugo in tho kennel of ono of tho very hounds that wero in tho chase.—Lancaster (Pa.) Dispatch. Waxed Tnpor Hags. A new article called "tho Sparks* waxed paper bag" ls now being extensively introduced, and is noticeable for its novel qualities, Tho exterior is like any paper bag, but tho interior surface is lined with a thin film of fluo parafiluo wax, which renders tho bng substantially air tight and water proof. Tho cost ls but a trifio moro than tho common paper bug. Tobacco, snuff, cigars, etc., put up in thoso bags aro preserved in perfect condition, drying and loss of aroma being prevented. In like manner confectionery, fruit aud other eatables are kept intact, wholesomo and fresh. As thoso bags may bo made translucent they render tho package attractive, and this adds a desirable selling quality, independent of other merits. Druggists use them for enveloping all kinds of preparations.; grocors find them very desirable In preserving in fresh condition coffee, tea, dried beef, bains, cheese, sugar and other foods. The difference between two packages of coffee, ono put up in tho ordinary paper bag and the other In a Sparks' waxed paper bag, is very striking. A pound of coffee in ordinary paper, when brought Into a room or car, is scented by everybody at once; but if the waxed paper bag is used tho contents cannot be detected; thero is no escape of aroma, tho preservation ls complete. These waxed paper bags are also found to be of superior value for wheat, flour, buckwheat, oatmeal, Indian meal, etc. The contents aro kept fresh, and access of moisture or other contamination Is prevented. For packing content, fertilizers, etc., tho bags are also useful. Furs stored in theso bags with tho smallest quantity of camphor or other insecticide are rendered moth proof. Valuable clothing may, in like manner, bo conveniently pro- served.—Scientific American. A Fly Cli an ib or m aid. Wan I was working over to Holyworthy No. 4 was always telling me to turn over his mattress ivory day. But I won't turn over nobody's mattress more than onct a week- no, I won't; but the byo was always telling me to do It. There was no peaco for me day or night with his talking and bossing; so I used to say "yis" ivory time ho asked mo. But he was a shyly cratur, and wan day I found a pin stuck in tho bottom side of the mattress; so I tuk it out and put it in his towel, but the next day it was in tho same place agen. To save mo sowl I couldn't think what he put it there for till wan day he sez, sez he. "You haven't turned me mattress tho day, Miss Dolan," sez he. "Yis, I have," sez I Howly mother, forgive the lie. "No, you haven't, Miss Dolan," sez he, and walked out jlst as cool as you plaze. Thin I knew what ho was up to; and so Ivory day, instead of turning tho mattress, I shtuck tbe pin on the other side, and, bedadl he niver asked me a word, and on Christmas be give me a foino shawl,—Harvard Lampoon. Only One Candidate. Tha practice of "lobbying" sometimes arises from the most innocent of motives, and ls carried on by persons whom one would never ■uspect of doing it. A class of little girls in a certain primary school had resolved to form themselves Into a secret society, and accordingly planned a meeting for tbe election of officers. One child, who hod always been deservedly popular, went about at recess saying to one and another, "Now remember, Susie Joy will make a nice vice president, and Nellie Smart must be treasurer." Her classmates quite agreed with ber, and no comment was made until another little girl, a newcomer, who was not accustomed to the leadership of this young lobbyist, bethought herself to ask; "But who will be president?" The small wire puller paused and looked at her with astonishment Then she said, in a genuinely aggrieved tone: "Why, I thought you would all want mo I You always do put ni4 ut the head of things I"—Youth's Companion.

In tbe Cotoni.1 report of tbe doings of two young boys in Victoria, under tbo head of " Youthful BhoplUtoraA appears tbe following' paragraph: ' Hie boys, who are 18 mid lo years old respectively, went into Franks' general fancy store in Johnson street, and asked to see silk handkerchiefs. Ihey were Bhown the stock, and while the elder was looking over tbe handkerchiefs the younger 'italics are our own) rated tobeahoton cigarette holder*/', It is very plainly to lie seen from tbe hbbve that Mr, Franks belongs to a class of merchants too frequently to be found in this province, who make a living by selling tobacco and cigarette poller*, to boyB. It is quite n common sight to see little fellows scarcely tbe height of an ordinary tabli- puffing away in the open street without let or hindrance from anybody, and we ire not "oing beyond the truth when we say lhat there are to be found scores of shopkeepers who not only sell tbe material to those boys, lint almost encourage them in the habit. Let anybody take a walk through imr streets at almost anv hour of the dav and we feel convinced that they will be impressed, and sorrowfully too, with the truth sf our assertions, so far as the hoys are concerned. For these ('allire boys we fed truly sorry, for Mr. Franks who bo forgot himself and his duty to society as to "look up" cigarette- holders to sell to it boy of ten years of age, we feel none—our onlv regret and we might add surprise is that Mr. Richards, the Police Magistrate, did not treat Mr. Franks to a lecture which would carry with it tbe public Indignation, but also a reproof which would convince these tobacco selling gentry of the enormity of their sin against society at large.

SMITH, 1. Secretary. NOTICE. I lauprovlisa tlie ('eint'tcr,. Every one who is interested in tbe welfare of Nanaimo will have read with pleasure tbe determination of the City Council to take some stops towards improving the conditions of Clod's Acre. Verv many persons make a lioint of visiting the cemetery on Sunday and doing what tbev can towards the particular spot that is especially dear to them as being the last resting place of some member sf their family or of a friend. Hut of course those going out thero on a short visit cannot do all they would wish, and would doubtless be willing to subscribe a small annual sum to secure tbe services of a competent man to look after tbe graves. There is also a small piece of sidewalk needed to make a continuous walk from town to the cemetery, which doubtless the Corporation will at an early date make complete. The matter of tidying up tlie walks and building a small house to accommodate the man whs would look after the graves and walks, was discussed in a most liberal manner in the Council on Monday evening and it only needs the hearty conjunction of tlie people with the Aldermen to make it an established fact. Tbe relatives of many Who arc buried there have of course left the country and some provision would probably he made '-> have the graves of these people looked after. •*>• Tlse sardonyx Arrives* The steamer Sardonyx, which met with a serious accident iip the Skeena a few days ago, arrived at ber dock 111 Victoria on Sunday afternoon, the damages to her bottom having been roughly patched up to enable her to make the down trip safely. On Friday sho completed unloading hor cargo at Dempster's wharf and was floated when the tide came up, the bole in her port sitle being covered with heavy planking. The trip down was a very quick one, the fastest the steamer lias ever made. Her good time was due to the fact that there were no stoppages and the steamer was light.

Tbe s;lilii<'«rii iii Vancouver. We have received advices of another largely attended meeting al Vancouver to protest against the employment of Chinese in any capacity whatever in that city. Vancouver is evidently alive to the grave responsibility Incurred by any city in importing and encouraging any class of labor which only serves to drain the country *)f its temporary adoption, of what money it can earn, anil in return does not, if possible to avoid It, return anything to the colters of the morchants and others engaged in trade in that country. The time has passed when cheap white labor was unattainable, and most oi our Western cities have to face the same demand for employment for the working classes as thc Eastern towns. •*• l,sis>ri>, I,ik lllc Mile walk*. The City Council has announced its intention of starting the Corporation workmen raising the sidewalk on Coin mercial street iu front of W. Wilson new store. While Wishing to congratulate theni on their determination tn improve this particular spot we wish lo ]mint out that there are several very had places in the sidewalk on our principal business street. Only a few days ago a young man while walking on the Long Bridge actually put bis foot through a defective plank and iell heavily. On recovering himself be procured some nails and nailed tlie plank down to avoid any more serious accident happening. •«. ft'orlilddeu Liquor. The dusky Aborigine in spite ol stringent legislation on the subject, continues to obtain the forbidden whiskev. It does not seem to occur to the vender or donor of the illicit beverage that in case of the Indians being hauled up he- fere a Justine of tbe Peace, tharthe verv person who he thought he was liefriend- mgwill be the lirst tn tell the whole story and possibly without even being summoned will often lay information in the hope of obtaining half the line. The unfortunate white men who most frequently figure in theBe caseB are sailors, and a word of warning to them may be in order. ■ .«.—,— Tb* FlsMontniu lasl Night.

Ilissaik that ii was hauled for about a mile along the workings to tbe pit's bottom, whero il bad to be trimmed before it could he broughl to bank.
