"Ohl" he aaid, recolle-ling Parson's •asurauce thtt she bad known him from report, "1 understand. But, my dear msdsui, pray consider. The longer tbis acquaintance has existed, Ihe less reason is there for delay now. Why not at once fix a period for gratifying the hopes of your devoted admirer!" "It has been represented to me again and again, and this ia tbe course 1 ought to pursue," repli'ed Miss Lillerton, "but pirdon my feelings of delicacy Mr. Tottle—pray eacuse thia era- barrap|c_ent—I have peculiar ideas on such subjects, and I am quite aure that I never coul! summon up fortitude enough to name the day to my future husband." "Then allow me to name it," said Tottle eagerly. "1 ahould like to fix it myself," replied Mias Lillerton, bashfully, "but I cannot do so without at once resorting toa tlurd party." A third party!" thought Watkins Tottle: "who the deuce is that to be, I wonder!" Mr. Tottle." continued Miss Lillerton, "you have made me a most disinterested anrl kind otfei—that offei I accept. Will you at once be lhe bearer of a note from me to—to Mr. Timsonl" ' Mr, Timson I" sail Watkins. "After what had passed between us," responded Miss Lillerton, still avertrni; her head, "you must understand ohotn I mean; Mr. Timnon, the—the—clergyman." "Mr. Timson, the clergyman!" ejaculated Watkins Tottle, in a state of inex- ires»ible leatitude, and positive won der at his own success. "Angel! Certainly—this moment I" "I'll prepare it immediately," slid Miss Lillerton, making for the door; "the events of this day have flurried me so much, Mr. Tottle, that I shall not leave my room again thia evening; I will send you the note by the servant." "Stay—stay," cried Watkins Tottle Still keeping a respectful distance from the lady; "when shill we miet again?" "Oh! Mr. Toitle," replied Mias l.iller- ton, coquettishly, "when we are married 1 can never see you too often, nor thank you look much;" and she left lhe room. Mr. Watkins Tottle 8ung himself into an arm cluir, and indulged in the most delicious reveries of fut're bliss, in which the ilea of "I'*ive hundred pounds per annum, with an uncontrolled power of disposing of it by her last will and testament," wis somehow or other the foremost. He bad gone through the interview so well, and it had leriiiin itr-d so adniiiablv, that lie almost began to wish he had expressly stipulated for the settlement of the annual five hundred on himself. May I come inl" said Oabiiel Parsons, peeping in at the doo-. "You may," rejlied Watkins. "Well, havey. u done ul" anxi rusly inquired Oabriel. "Have I done i.i" sail Watkins Tottle, "hush—I'm going to tbe clergyman." "Nol" said Parsons. "How well you have managed ill" "Where does Titn.nn liwl" inquired Watkins. "At his uncle's," replied Gabriel, "just around the lane. He's waiting for a living, and has been assisting his uncle here for the last two or three months. But how well you havo done it—I didn't think you could have carried it off so I" Mr. Watkins Tottle was proceeding to demonstrate that the Richardsonian principle was the best on which love oould possibly be made, when he was interrupted by the entrance of Martha, with a little pink note folded like a fancy cocked-bat. "Miss Lillerton's compliments," said Martha, as she delivered it into Tottle's bands, and vanished. "Do you observe the delicacy!" said Tottle, speaking to Mr. Gabriel Parsons. "Compliments not lime, by tbe servant, ehf Mr. Gabriel Parsons didn't exactly know what reply to make, so he poked the forefinger of his right hand between tbe third and fourth ribs of Mr. Watkins Tottle. "Come," said Watkins, when the explosion of mirth consequent on this practical jest had subsided, "we'll be off at once—let's lose no time." "Cap.tall" echoed Gabriel Parsons; and in five minutes they were at the garden-gate of the villa tenanted by tbe uncle of Mr Timson. "Is Mr. Charles Timson at home?" inquired Mr. Watkins Tottle of Mr. Charles Timson's uncle's man. "Mr. Charles ir at home," replied the man stammering; "but be desired me to say he couldn't be interrupted, sir, by any of the parishioners." "I am not a parishioner," replied Watkins. "Is Mr. Charles writing a sermon,' Tom?" inquired Parsons, thrusting himself forward. "No, Mr. Parsons, sir; Re's not exactly writing a sermon, but he is practicing the violoncello in his own bedroom, and gave striot orders not to be disturbed." "Say I'm here," replied Gabriel, leading the way across the garden, "Mr. Parsons and Mr. Tottle, on private and particular business." Tbey were shown into tbe parlor, and the servant departed to deliver hia message. The di taut groaning of the violoncello ceased; foot-steps were beard on the stairs; and Mr. Timson presented himself, and shook hands with Parsons with the utmost cirdialiiy. "How do you do, sir!" said Watkins Tottle, with great Boleiunity. "How do you do, sir." replied Timson, with as much coldness as if it were a mati"r of perfect indifference to him how he did, as it very likely was. "I beg to deliver this note to you," said Watkins Tottle, producing the cocked-bat. "From Miss Lillerton!" said Timson suddenly changing color. "Prav sit down " Mr. Watkins Tottle sat down; and while Timson perused the note, fixed his eves on an oyster-Bauce-coloied ponriii ofthe Archbishop of Canterbury, which hung over the fire-place. Mr. TitnBon rose from his seat when he bad concluded the note, and looked dubiously at Parsons—"May I ask," he inquired, appealing to Waikins Tottle, "Whether our friend here is acquainted with the object of your visit?" "Our friend is in my confidence," re plied Watkins, with considerable importance. "Then, sir," said Timson, seizing both Tottle bands, "allow me in his presence to thank you most unfeignedly cordiallv, for the noble pari you have acted in tbis affiir." "He thinks I recommended him," thought Tottle. "Confound these fellows! the)' never think of anything but their fees." "I deeply regret having misunderstood your intentions, my dear sir," con- tinued Timson. "Disinterested and m.nly, indeedl There are very few men would have acted as you have done." Mr. Watkins Tottle could not help thinking that this last remark was anything but complimentary. He there fore inqmied, rather hastily, 'When is il to be I" ' On Thursday " replied Timson.— "on Thursday morning at half-past eight." "Uncommon early," observed Watkins Tottle, with an air of triumphant self-denial. "I shall hardly be able to get down heie by that hour." (This was Intended foi a joke.) "Nev,r mind, iny dear fellow," re plied Timson, all suavity, shaking hands witb Tottle again most heartily, "so long as we see you to breakfast, you know— " "Eli!" said Parsons, with one of the most extrsordinary expressions of coun lenincc that ever appeared in a human f ice. 'What!" ejrculated Watkins Tottle at the same moment. "I say that so long as we see you to breakfast," icplied Timson, "we will excuse your being absent from the ceremony, though nf conrse your presence at it wouM give us the utmost pleasure." Mr. Watkins Tottle stagg "red against the wall, ami fixed his eyes on Timson with appalling petseverance. "Timson," said Parsons, hurriedly brushing his hat with his' left arm, "when you say 'us,' whom do you mean)" Mr. Timson looker! foolish in bis turn, when tie icplied, -'Why—Mrs. Timson that will be this day week; Miss Lillerton that is " "Now don't stare nl that idiot in the corner," sngiily exclaimed Parsons, as the extaonliiiarv convulsions of Watkins Tottle's countenance excited tbe wondering gaxe of Timson,— 'but have the goodness to tell mo in thiee words the contents of this note." tbe next time you're a Sfuiiging-house, jusl sway. And I c e I up in ■vail there till I come and take you out there's a good fellow." II w, or ai wnat hour, Mr. Watkins oitle rttornadto Cecil s'r-tisun- kn wn. His ln.ots were s.-en outside .is bedroom door next morning; but »<• «ve the authority i.f his Ian ila'v for ■tsting ihat he neither enicged therefrom n r accepter! sua enance for four- an l-twentv hou a. At the expiration of that period, and when a council of war was being treld in the kitchen on the propriety of summoning the parochial beadle to break his door open, he rang bis l-ell, and demanded a cup of milk awl-water. The next morning he went through the formalities of eating and drinking as usual, but a week afterwards, he was seized with a relapse, while perusing the list of iiiai'iiagua iu a mnniing papi-i from which he never perfectly recovered. A few weeks after the last named occurrence, the body of a gentleman unknown, was found in the RegenVl canal. In the trousers pockets were four shillings and threepence halfpenny; a matrimonial advertisement from a lady, which appeared to have, been cut out of a Sunday paper; a toothpick, and a card case, which it is confidently be li-veil would have led to the identification of the unfortunate gentleman, but for the circumstance of there Irein^ until* but blank cards in it. Mr. Wat kins Tottle absented himself from his lodgings shortly before. A bill wbicl has not been taken up, was presented next morning; and a bill, which has not been taken down, was soon after ward affixed in his parlor window. " This note," replied Timson, "is from Miss Lillerton, to whom I have been for the last live weeks regularly engaged. Her singular scruples ana- strange feeling on some points have hitherto prevented my bringing tbe en gagement to tbat termination which I so anxiously desire. She informs mo here, that she sounded Mrs. Parsons with the view of making her her confidant and go between, tbat Mrs. Parsons informed this elderly gentleman, Mr, Tottle, of the circumstance, and that he, in the most kind and delicate terms, offered to assist us in any way, and even un tertook to convey thia nole, which contains the promise I have long sought in vain—-an act of kindness for which I can never be sufficiently grateful." "Good night, Timson," said Parsons, hurrying off, and carrying the bewildered Tottle with him. "Won't you stay—and have something?" said Timson. "No, thank ye," replied Parsons; "I've had quite enough;" and away he went, followed by Watkins Tottle in a state of stupefaction. Mr. Gabriel Parsons whistled until they had walked some quarter of a mile past his own gate, when he suddenly stoppr-d, and said— "You are a clever fellow, Tottle ain't you?" "I don't know," said the unfortunate Watkins. "I suppose you'll say this is Fanny's fault, won't you?" inquired Gabriel. "I don't know anything about it," replied the bewildered Tottle "Well," said Parsons, turning on his beel to go home, "the next time you* make an offer, you bad better speak plainly, and don't throw a cbanoel PASSAGES FROM THE DI&B1 OF \ LATE PHYSICIAN. THE THUNDER-STRUCK THK BOXER. IS the summer of IK—, London was visited by one of the most tremendous thunder-storms that have been known in this climate. Its character and effects, some of which latter form the snbjeot of this clrapt' r, will make me remember it to the latest hour of my life. There was something portentous - a •till, surcharged air—about tho whole of Tuesday; the 10th of July, IS—, as though nature were trembling and cowering beneath a common shock. In tlie exquisite language of one of our olrl dramatists, there seemed ll fur ii t tnpest, when Itn. gaDtle a'r Lays In r suit ' in ir rise tu tbe - rtll. In lit a For Unit sin. 1 am utt,.Is un tn ravish har. i about eleven o'clock at noon the wore a lurid threatening aspect, Fro sky thai shot awe into the behold jesting to startled fancy the notion. that within the dim confines of the "laboring air," mischief was working to the world. The beat was intolerable, keeping almost men-body within doors. The rlogs, and other cattle ill the streets, stood everywhere panting ami loath to move Thorn was no small excitement, or rather agitation, diffused throughout the country, especially London; for, strange to say (and many must recollect tho circuinstance), it had been for some time confidently foretold by certain enthusiasts, religious as well as philosophic, that the earth was to be rstroyed that very day; in short, tbat the tremendous Judgment was rtf hand! Though not myself over credulous, or liven to superstitious fears, 1 own that on coupling the-e fearful pre- lictions with the unusual, nnd almost preternatural aspect of tbe day, I more than once experienced sudden •ualnis of apprehension as I rode along on tny daily lounds. I did not so much communicate alarm to the various cir oles I entered, as catch it from them. Then, again, I would occasionally pass a silent group of passengers clustering round a street-preacher, who, true to his vocation, "redeeming the time," seemed by his gestures, and the disturbed countenances around bim, to lie foretelling all tbat was frightful. The tone of excitement which pervaded my feelings was further heightened by a conversation on the prevailing topic which I had in the course of the morning with the distinguished poet and scholar, Mr. . With what fearful force did be suggest possibilities; what vivid, startling coloring did he throw over them! It was, indeed a topic congenial to his gloomy imagination. He talked to ine, in short, till my distur lied fancy began to realize the wildest chimeras. "Great God, Dr. !" said he, laying his hand suddenly on my arm, his great black eyes gleaming with mysterious awe. "Think, only think! What if, at the moment we are talking together, a comet, whose track the peering eye of science has never traced — whose very cxistei.ee is known to none but God—is winding its fiery way towards our earth, swift as the lightn ing, and with force inevitable! Is it at this instant dashing to fragments some mighty orb that obstructed its progreass, and then passing on to sards us disturbing system after system in its way? How—when will the frightful crash be felt? Is its heat now bright- ing our atmosphere? Will combustion first commence, or shall we be at once split asunder into innumerable fragments, and sent drifting through in j finite space? Whither, whither shall we fly? what must become of our Specie*! Is tin- Scriptural Judgment then coining? Oh, doctor, what if all ihose things are really at hand?" Was this imaginative raving ca'cu- lated to calm one's feelings! Uy the time 1 reached home, late in the after npon, I felt in a fever of excitement. 1 found au air of apprehension through out the whole bouse. My wife, children and a young lady, a visitor, were all together in tha parlor, looking out for ine through the window anxiously, and with paler faces than they perhaps were aware of. The visitor just alluded to, by the way, was a Miss Agnes P , a girl of about twenty one, the daughter of an old friend and patient of mine. Her mother, a widow (wiih no other child than this), resided in a village about fifty miles from town, from which she was cxp-ctcd, in a few days' time, to take her daughter back again into the country. Miss P was a very charming young woman. There was a softness of expression about her delicate feature tbat in my opinion con stitutes tbe highest style of feminine loveliness. Her dark, pensive, searching eyes spoke a soul full of feeling. The tones of her voice, mellow and various, and her whole carriage and demeanor, were in accordance witli the expression of her features. In person she was about the average height, and perfectly well molded and proportioned; and there was a Hebe-like ease and grace about >dl her gestures. She excelled in most fciiiinliieaccoiiiplishiiients but her favorite objects were music and romance. A more imaginative creature was surely never known. It required all the fond and anxious survellance of her friends to prevent her carrying her tastes to excess, and becoming, in a manner, unfitted for the "dull commerce of a duller earth!" No sooner had this young lady made her appearance in my bouse, and given -oken of something like a prolonged stay, than I became the most popular man in the circle of my acquaintance. Such assiduous calls ro inquire after my health, and that of my family! Such a multitude of men—young ones, to boot—and so embarrassed with a consciousness of the* poorness of the pretence that drew them to my house! Sueh matronly inquiries from mothers and elderly female relatives, into the nature and extent of "tweet Miss P —s expectations!" Billing a for mer stay at my bouse, about six mouths before the period of which I am writing. Miss P surrendered her affections—(to the delighted surprise of all lu-r friends and relatives)—to the quietest, and perhaps worthiest of her aiinams—a young man, then prepar mg for orders at. Oxford. Never, sure, was rhere a greater contrast between the tastes of a pledged couple, die'all riling, romance, enthusiasm, he serene, thoughtful, and matter of-fact. It was most amusing to witness their occasional collisions on subjects which developed their respective tastes and malities; and interesting to note tliat the effect was invariably to raise the one in the other's estimation - as if ach prized most the qualities of the ither. Young N bad spent two days in London—the greater portion of them, 1 need hardly say, at my louse—about a week before the period of which I am writing: and he and bis fair mistress had disputed rather keenly on the topic of general dis cussion—the predicted event of the lOtbof.July. If she did not repose implicit faith in the prophecy, her belief bad, somehow or another, acquired a most disturbing strength. He labored hard to disabuse her of her awful apprehensions—and she as bard to overcome his obstinate incredulity. Each was a little, too eager about the matter: and, for the first, time since thev bad known eacli otlier, tbey parted with a little coldness—y. s although he was to set off the next morning for Oxford I In short, scarcely anything was talked about by Agnes, but the coming lOtli of July; and if she did not anticipate the actual destuction of the globe, and the final judgment of mankind, she at least looked forward to some event. mysterious and tremendous. The eloquent enthusiastic creature almost brought over my placid, little, matter- of-fact wife to her way of thinking! To return from this long digression which, however, will be presently found to have lieen not unnecessary. Afrer staying a few minutes in her parlor, I retired to my library, for the purpose, among other things, nf making those entries in mv Diary, from which these "passages" are taken—but the pen lay useless in my hand. With my chin resting on the palm of my left hand, 1 sat at my desk lost in a reverie; my eyes fixed ou the tree which grew in the yard and overshadowed my windows. How s'ill—how motionless was every leaf! What subry — oppressive— un- usual repose1 How it would have cheered me to hear the faintest "sough" of wind—to see the breeze sweep freshening through the leaves, rustling and stirring them into life! I opened my window, untied my neckerchief, and loosened my shirt-collar—for I felt suffocated with tlie heat. I heard at length a faint, pattering sound among the leaves of the tree -and presently there fell on the window frame three or four large ominous drops of rain.

BOMB, It appears that tbe Scott Act wus killed in the Senate, -iy a voie of -IU to Ij the Senators decided tlmt their amendments In- sustained by the Common*. Senator Mclnnes voted witb the minority and hopes to die u Mint. If tbe Act, ns amcndid, paasei ibe Commons, it will be no Act. Wisdom has nothing to do with legislation at Ottawa. A flock of crows cawing, ntter sounds as useful as tlie words spoken by Senators and Members of Parliament. The Victoria "Times" is greatly changed. There is nothing in it, and you do not know where to look for the nothing. Every one skips the third page and then tries to escape from the fourth and goes baclt to the (irst. We know where to find the nonsense in tbe "Colonist," and the news; but there is nothing in the "Standard." The solemn little "Poet" is sleepv. Every time we expect to see a woolen nightcap or the picture of a man aslrepj In Victoria there is only a small parti cle of the geniuB of the age, and it does not appear in the newspapers. Nero fiddled while Rome was burning, and in Victoria the Attorney- General and the lawyers are fiddling with a comedy called "law" in the Supreme Oourt. If the people had any brains at all they would put an end to the play and with ono voice proclaim to the world that in this British Province there shall bo no slave wasters. The following clause is the only law that will settle tho Chinese question:—"And be it enacted ihat any white man, or woman, who shall be convicted of hiring or keeping a Chinese servant, shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to twelve months in tbe chain gang." The |50 tax imposed by law made at Ottawa is a delusion. The meanest slave-master will pay that sum tu enjoy the privilege of keeping a slave. The fiddling at slavery practised in Victoria ie a disgrace to the people. Jjiwyera and judges are all ready to maintain that slavery suits them very well From Yale to Peace River and from Alaska to the Rockies, the signs of prosperity are apparent. The wheat crop is simply superb. It was irrigated by water from the clouds. The potato crop is the very best ever pro duoed in that region; and if the harvest ia good the farmers will be as happy as kings. The railroad will distrib- nt - the surplus produce of the soil and provide luxuries at low prices. Another dead man found in the sen near the North Arm. No inquest. Rohtiou & Oo. believe that men on the Mainland are dogs. On Saturday the dead body of a man was found in the harbor at Victoria, and forthwith a jury was summoned. There was no evidence to show what caused death, but the enquiry was satisfactory. Mr. Shakspeare, the M.P. for Victo ria, haa been talking a good den! of twaddle on the Chinese question in the east—at Toronto and other places. He snys he was elected by tbe working men to represent them in the House, li tbey elected a broom-stick it would do just as well. He did nothing. In fact he could do nothing. He belongs to the same class of nonentities who represent the people in the local House. To be useful as a representative man iu ibis age of corruption it is necissary io be bold, eloquent, and full of ihe s|ririt that is ready to sacrifice everyihing for llie sake of Jusiice. Have we such a innn representing the people here or ai O'lawa? Alas! no. The age of dhfvatry is pasl, and the mice of the ercu'bn elevated by ignorance, rule and rub. Mavery prospers; corporations have more power than kings; and in fifty years t'-e people here will be like the Chinese at home, helpless, hopeless, crawling things. UNITED STATES. The sla'ue of "Liberty Enlightening the World" has arrived from France and is in New York. A roaring mulii- I; d: looked at it and appeared to be well pleased. It is not worth a red cent An asylum for insane persons in Paris or New York would be useful—a representative institution; but this lump of bronze means nothing. Ii is quite possible that Bartho'di intended lo present lhe mind wiih a new idea; but he has failed. Every one who sees the bronze woman supposed to represent "Liberty" points to "lhe crown of thorns" on her head and asks—What is the meaning of that? She holds aloft in her right hand a goblet of fire, and looks very like a mad woman preparing to drink lhe flame?, If the artist who paints the picture of a horse must write under it "This is a horse," bis art is nowhere. It is quile possible this statue of Liberty was made lo commemorate tbe "Goddess of Reason," a prostitute worshipped in Paris one hundred years ago! Let us pray. Thos. Cluverius, of Kings county, Va.. was convicted last week of the murder of his cousin, and the heart of his good old aunt is broken. She could no; be lieve that he would be guilty of the murder of her adopted daughter and his own ioster sister. Bui he is a mere dude; a charming snob; a vile cur, worse than Bill Sykes, who murderer) his Nancy. Bill's bloody deed was followed by instant remorse; but Tom, when he heard his sentence of death pronounced by the Judge, smiled. '[ he prisoner insisted that he had not seen* the girl since September last, but the Stale proved- beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was wiih her in Richmond on the day the murder was commiue . The rope will finish his career. Eigln e oaths ago John Smith arrived at Omaha I om Chicago, and at that I lace lie opened a div goods store, and in letter* of cold he had written over the house,'The Mekchakt Prince of the I'ka.eies."

The war of ihe elements continues in raue over the great Republic. At Pittsburg on Tuesday there was thunder, lightning, and a hurricane. Then a cloud bur.il and wrecked seveia' towns; the railway was destroyed in (our places, and the trains going at fu 1 speed got m o lhe mud. For seven hours over an area of forty miles square the scene was terific; hou.-es were twisted round, and several washed away, but no lives were lost. The "Chronicle," published at San Francisco, says:—"If one of our journal ventured to emulate the feal of the "Pall Mall Gazette" it would be ruined. It is not only In London that young girls are led astray in dens by immoral men. In this modern city by the Goldi-n Gate the work of seduction is carried on openly; and if all the scoundrels who now bask in the smi'esof San Francisco society were to receive their just deserts lhe accommodations at San Quentin and Folsom would be entirely tjo restrtcteJ. Any journal may, wi h p.rfecr s,rfe y, hold up to scorn tbe ac lions of a bummer or a hoodlum. To expose crime in low places is a popular proceeding; but you must not meddle with the millionaire.

In thn Soudan lie did nothing. Judged by all the evi denee, the whole proceeding of tbis great General anil liiS biave army was a sham that cost millions. As commander-in chief of a British army that achieved nothing, be deserved to be noticed, but not to be cheered. The Pall Mall Gazette, published in London, has created a sensation all over the world by accusations made against a gang of old sinners who have heen engaged in seducing female children. The reporters employed to make private enquiry did their work as well as if they were skilled detectives; and the result will be a law to save inno oence from miserable old human spiders. Human nature in London is like human nature in the wilderness, and it must be lashed if it presumes to violate tlie laws of decency. In a leading ar tide headed "Wn Bid You Bo of Hope," the editor gfcys: —"If chivalry is extinct, and Christianity effete, there is still another enthusiasm to which we may with confidence appeal; namely the combined forces of democracy and socialism." The tale told by tbe editor is horrible, and he enters the lists to do battle for the right, supported by the Archbishop o' Canterbuiy, Cardinal Manning, tha Earl of Shaftesbury, Sam'l M irley, M. P., and the Ear! of Dalhousie. The Earl of Carnarvon, the new Lord Lieutenant, was received in Dub Iin with great enthusiasm: an immense multitude escorted him to the Castle, cheering and shouting Cead mile a faillhe. The authorities made no attempt to secure a welcome for bim; it was given with a will. Wlien he ascended the steps to the vice-regal lodge, he turned, bare-headed, and bowed-to the multitude. Then he heard the charging cheer of tbe Irish; that terrible hurrah! that startled the Banes at Clontarf and terrified the French at Waterloo. Privare telegrams from Berlin to London say that Emperor William is very weak and may die while be sleeps. The grand old monarch is very old and must obey the natural law. His herr, the Crown Prince, loves England, and believes that an alliance with her is necessary io secure in perpetuity all the advantages gained by Germany in the late war. He is even more conservative than bis illustrious father; and rumor says Gladstone suffered defeat for the sake of his country, so that in case of the Emperor's death, the new Eutfei-or may have with him bis ii.Innate friend. My Lord of Salisbury. Together these two men can dictate the law to all Europe, and if we may venture to give judgment according to the evidence, this alliance will produce a very great sensation. France sees it is probable, and there fore she is polite when she makes ref- -r. nee to uil'aiis in Egypt. Russia sees it, and therefore she halts on thn way to Herat. It is quite possible that the great rigc which threatens the life uf the greut Emperor pri-serves the peace of Europe today, und bis death may seal the bond tliat will secure the perpetual peace for which John Bright hopes and prays. Only one In tpn thousand of the politicians know any thing of thu wonderful designs that aiv prepared by tlie genius of those who rule tlie United Kingdom to preserve for her tbe first place amongst die nations of the earth. Telegrams to Odessa from all parts of ibe Russian Empire announce a complete failure of this years' crop. The whole nation is alarmed hy the Ion.- continuation of dry weather. No rain for the next ten days in Russia, means a famine for the people of that vast empire. On Monday the Munster Bank sua pended payment. Liabilities $.'1,750,- 000. The directors say the assets are ample; but the suspension will produce widespread ruin in Cork. THE RAILWAY EXTENSION. Our readers have no doubt read the reply of the first minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, to an enquiry of Mr Blake, in whioh he stated tbat it was perfectly true that Port Moody had been adopted by the Federal Government as the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but that the company would most probably extend' the line to English Bay, being necessary to the Asiatic trade. Let us here note in passing, that the extension is wholly unnecessary fnr the purpose named; that there is plenty- of available space at Port Moody, and that a similar amount of space at English Bay, were it anything equal to that obtainable at Port Moody, would cost an enormous sum, such as we do not think it likely the company has at its di-posal. The ridiculous story widely disseminated, that the company, on the strengtii of the extension, will be able to issue terminal or terminus bonds, and so raise the. necessary funds, is tlie merest nonsense; they cannot sell their bonds of the entire Canadian Pacific Railway at anything like a favorable price, and it is calculating too much on the credulity of investors to suppose that the company could dispose of any bonds for a merely speculative terminus, which is very likely to be abandoned as useless. But it must be remembered that by the declaration of Sir Join. A. Macdonald, the company are going to construct the extension at their own cost and risk. That by constructing the additional twelve miles of railway, tliey have, or pretend to have, some advan tage in relation, to the Asiatic trade. They consequently enter tho field as a private company, who are making u railway for some possible private advantage, and must pay for their right of way whatever the private holders of the land may ask for it; and are liable to taxation on lands, plant and income, for the benefit of the Province. It, must be clearly understood that the extension in no way benefits the people of this Province; on the contrary they arconly being subjected to the grasping monopoly which lias already made itself noted as an incubus upon the people of Canada. Tlie water frontages that this company seeks to secure on Burrard Inlet and English Bay, exclusive of those at Port Moody, would, in the hands of private owners, be productive of employment for our people and taxes for our public treasury. But what is this celebrated Canadian Pacific Railway Company going to do? They have, through their arrangements with our corrupt local Government, secured the possession, in fee, of at least six thousand acres of most valuable land at English Bay. They pur pose to carry the extension down the margin of tne Inlet, and they no doubt expect by so doing, to possess themselves of all the valuable frontage from Port Moody to English Bay! What are they going to do with these: are they going to build wharves and warehouses on them? Not at all. Their calculation is to make a monopoly of them, so that they may sell or lease them at exorbitant, prices; or, failing what tbey conceive to be a proper price or rental, they will hold them unutilised to the exclusion of people who would turn them to profitable account on behalf of our people. We ask the people of this Province if they are going to allow themselves to be gobbled up by a set of greedy monopolists, who seem to think they have a right to do what they like with us; and, because it suits them to make a moek extension in order to put money in their pockets, we are to submit humbly to have a large number of our best citizens ruined, becauso this high and mighty company choose to speculate. It is true tliat we deserve a great deal of tbis grievous wrong that these heartless monopolists propose to intact upou us. We have placed in power four men who are absolutely using our own money and land in older to sell us to these railway speculators. \Ve are to lie sold like a Hook of sheep, that these four men may lie enabled to make some money. We are to lio sad died with a huge monopoly, iu order tliat these men may realize a handsome sum and leave us to work like galley- slaves, dependent on the crumbs that fall tn us fi <>in tbe table of the Canadian Pacific Railway company ! They who rejected tin: Yellow Head pass to cross the Selkirk range, and wbo now will have to make a detour, absolutely making the line much longer, at an enormous expense. They will make the change at the expense of tbe people of (.'unrein, and we shall '•■ taxed to pay for their misinanng'-inent and reckless adoption of a line that never should havi- been chosen. We, the people of British Columbia, have given towards the construction of this millstone of a railway, which now bangs round our necks, forty miles broad of our land throughout its entire length in this Province; our present valued local minister gave in addition three million five hundred thousand acres of vidua ble land at Peace river; we are now paying inequitable and burdensome taxes to pay interest on the loans that the present Federal Government make to this wonderfully fortutia'ecompany, who, when we have given them our lands and our money to bqrld the rail way, take it over in perpetuity as their own property. Not only so, but we give them funds to speculate and buy otlier lands, which have nothing to do with the original contract. Is it wonderful that tbis company believe tliat Canada was made for tbem? That the people are only the bees in a coop to gather the honey for their particular delectation? How otherwise, in the face of tho recent demand for a loan from the Dominion Parliament, would tliey dare to come to this Province aud destroy our little enterprise by becoming particeps criminis with our corrupt niinisrers and make a wholly unneces sary extension of the railway? The whole affair is so brutally heartless, so completely at variance with the commonest rules of fair play aud decency, that it is perfectly revolting. It is just possible that the so-called ministers of tbe local Houso may be enabled to consummate this shocking transaction: but it will neither avail themselves nor the monopolists that, for pecuniary reasons, tbey desire to serve. The whole scheme, from first t.. last, will prove a failure, because the next local Government will upset the entire affair. RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT. If ever words were prostituted, they certainly Jiave been iu the case of the two words at the bend of this article. It is supposed tha' a government, so- called, is re ponsible to the people for their acions, and that the people's representatives call ti.em to account when tbey do wrong. This would be very wise if the representatives did their duty, but when the represr nta fives make common cause with the Government and accept a part of fhe plunder for betraying their constitu i-nts, who will protect tbepeopie? The duty in such a case falls upon the public press; but when thnt, also, is bought by the Government, the whole system becomes a mass of corruption, and so far as the people are concerned, a ridiculous farce. Having secured the representatives and the majority of the newspapers, nothing remains for the bogus ministers to do but to please the nrob. This is done in a variety of ways: certain of tlie voters are created Justices of the Peace; that is, they have a license to fleeco the people on their own particular account, and to administer what is supposed to be the law in such a way that they can secure their own particular friends from mer ited punishment and satisfy old grudges. The whole machinery of such a government, from the highest to the lowest oilii-inl, is vicious, because corruption prevails everywhere, and men otherwise honest and well-inclined, become inoculated with the common disease and are rarely able to return to an honest way of gaining a livelihood afterwards; hence, the ease with which Governments hire willling tools to help them in cheating the people. Respectable heads of families allow themselves to be bribed to complicity by the bestowal of a place on a son or relative. They see nothing but corruption everywhere, and although they do not admit it to themselves, they tacitly cunie io the conclusion that where everybody steals they may as well have a share of the general plunder, and tbey feel called upon in consequence to defend the public robbery, because they are defending iheir own share of it, being particeps criminis. Probably the worst enemies the Government have are those they have failed to satisfy with bribes. The ministers do their best to buy these growlers, but failing that, they detail some of the miserable traitors in their pay to persecute them, and woe betide the growlers if they can be dragged within the meshes of the law, civil or criminal, they find themselves reduced to beggary or disgrace; and often fail to recognise the hands of ministers in their affliction. Then come the masses: they must be satisfied. This apparently is very easy; THE BEST i EFFECTS. remedy, -or sll diseases u i i >il ordered condition of Ike storns •'. ■ ti Ayer's PO*, Ml>. ltn.lr.

Uow much does Rui-t-ia gain, tbey aay, by Lord Salisbury's Acquiescence in L«-rd Granville's treatment of the Penjdeh incident and in th" I.easar boundary, if the fresh encroachments, to which those accessi.na were meant to be but stepping atones, are to be re messed with an ir ui hand? Have the Russians poured out blood like water and lavished ntoney that their stmitened finances could ill afford on thesucceatdve expeditious of Kaufmann, Luareff, and Skobeleff—whereby the Russian territory has been steadily extended from the Caspian to Khiva, to Geok Tejic, and to Mtiv—merely to find their further advance inflexibly cut off and to l»e hopelessly cooped up in two or three oases of the Turcoman de*ert? The .St. Petersburg diplomatists are too well informed not to perceive that if Gen. Komaroff should have to stop abort at Penjdeh and Sarakhs, which are valueless except aa way stations on the road to II.-T.it and to India, he would become the laughing stock of every bazaar in Turkestan. But this ia just what may happen should success in the general election give Lord Salisbury au untrammelled control of the Government which he now directs by sufferance. Ku-sia th-n would unquestionably be warned not to advance an inch beyond her actual frontier, and not to meddle upon any pretext with the affairs of Afghanistan. And thia admonition would be heeded, when the Czar discovered that the helpless isolation in which England had been plunged by Mr. (iladstone'-j shuffling and hand-to month diplomacy hid been exchanged tor an alliance with tbe powers ot centra! Europe. For such a league wouhl mean in its ultimate significance that a gun fired und^r the walls of Herat would be answered 00 the Vistula. -A'. K 9U0, LATE NEWS ITEMS.

The value of the residual product of petroleum (iis*illatioii aa an efficient and economical source of steam power is claimed to have'been conclusively established in connection with the marvellous development by the Bruthers Nobel of the petroleum industry, at tbe Baku Works, Russia, which are fed thinngh pipe lines of an aggregate length of more than sixty miles, by the Apparently inexhaustible petroleum supplies of the Aspheron peninsula. The residual or heavy oil which remains after extracting the illuminating and lubricating oils from the petroleum, and of which Messrs. Nobel now produce 450,000 tons annually, is already used as fuel on upwards of three hundred steamers upon the Caspian Sea and tbe Volga, and by the locomotives on the trans- Caucasian and trans-Caspian railways. In regard to the employment of refuse petroleum ns fuel in locomotive engines, it iB claimed tbat, weight for weight, it bas 33 per cent, higher evaporative value than an thraeite, and that while 00 per cent, of efficiency is realized with the latter, "5 per cent, ia obtained with petroleum refuse. It is stated that the recently patented process for the manufacture of a gum of the eucalyptus globulus, which haa the effect of thoroughly removing the scales whieh form on steam engine boilers and preventing rust and pitting, haa created a largely increased demand for it. The effect of this preparation in thus preventing the pitting and corrosion of boilers will, it ia expected, extend the period of their usefulness 100 or ISO per cent , aud at the same time insure a very considerable saving in fuel, as scale is a nonconductor of heat. The distillation of essential oil from the leaves of this tree is another branch of industry. The modest tone suddenly adtpted by the Brisson Cabinet toward England is a striking sign of the times.

"No, Mr. G.," saya I, "we've come up on a national question We've come up tae advise we' you in your ditticultie*., for it seems tae me ye're jist floundering awa' out o' ae mess iutae anither, Mr. G.. listen; when ye lost thoosan's o' valuable live in the Soudan, where ye had nae business tae be, we stuck tae ye; even when ye gaed doon on yer knees tae Koo-diia, an'sochtthem no'tae withdraw Kamoraff, even then we stuck tae ye; but we've dune wi' ye noo—it's the last straw breaks the camel s back, an' ye've put it on; ye've raised the tax on oor national drink, an' there's no a Scotchman but is rai*-iug up against ye." "But, Mr. Kaye, we need money." "Wee! put it on something that can staun' it; say a ha'penny stamp on every bottle 01 lemonade, it's a luxury, an" teetotallers ahould pay their share o' tho taxes as well as itbers." "Childers, take a note o' that,'' says Mr. G.

Tlie Prime Warden nf the Fishmonger.' Company, London, told the Society of Aits, iu a recent address, that the daily supply received at Billingsgate, the great London tr--.li market, amounted to flOO tons. A ton of fish is equal to 28 average sheep, so that 500 tons equals a consumption of 14,000 sheep. It mast be admitted that the municipal authorities of Loudoushowgreatconsideration lor the sanitary and recreative needs of the population of that city iu providing it per- severiugly with additional open Bpaces. tht strip of waste land adjoining St. Thomas's Hospital, on the Thames Embankment, is the latest of these invaluable gifts to the people. It is to lie laid out as an ornamental garden. A hazardous experiment was made some time ago by au association of Knglish philanthropists, who advanced money to send a colony of East Londoners into the Canadian northwest. Not one of the colonists had tbe slightest experience in agriculture, yot the settlement is reported to have pros[iored and only one man has deserted. The celebrated rocking stone at Buck- stoue, in Wye valley, England, waa accidentally thrown over recently. Some performers in a variety company used too much force in rocking it, and the stoue fell from its p isition on the summit uf a hill into a wood lielow. The ancient Druidical altar is the property of the crown, and was an object of great interest to tourists.

Of those imported from 'he United States, 1,570 cattle, and tsil sriuep were thrown overboard, and 85 c.t.l.i und 92 sheep landed dead, or a total lots of 4,850 anitiut.s. Due Pel was lately fouud guilty in France uf the murder of his mistress hy poisoning her, and sentenced to death. There was go >d reason to helievo that after death the woman's body had been burned by the lliur- ri'erer, aud one of the witnesses, a chemist, testified that he had burned a corpse in a sruiill kitchen grate, iu order to test the possibility of Pel having so disposed of the remains of his mistress. The witness informed ilr ('onit Hint a corpso of average weight uii^ht he burned in a kitchen grate in forty h .lira, without causing any more disagree- r.i.l.- .dor I lum Und arising from the cooking uf rniiUi'lr cutlets. It Iisb lately been decided tu increase the already large staff cf German military pigeuns, of which there are, in different fortresses, about 4,000. These pigeons are taught not to alight on the dovecote, but, on their arrival at their destination, to knock against the cloned wire wicket, which mot on causes a leaden hall to drop, thereby opening the wicket and setting a niechunistu i.i mo.ion that connects with a bell in the room of the keeper. The officer then detaches the messigc from the tail feathers of fie pigeon, the message being rolled up in t.ie hollow quill of a pigeon's tail feather, ivarch feathoi-B are carefully collected for de-p.tch purposes, as being most easily hr.l.len among the natural feathers of the tri. i-ier bird.

He is a nobleman of—as Mr. Freeman has pointed out—extraordinarily ancient and renowned lineage. His Int lu-1 wus remarkable as the architect, builder, andcierk ofthe works of his magnificent ■eat in Gloucestersliire. The present Lord Sudeley passed his early years in lhe royal navy, from which hi retired at 23 to enter the House of Commons. The death ufhis eccentric brother put him, two years later, in the House of Lords. He married a niece of that extraordinary old Earl of Dysart who 'lied some years ago, leaving $9,000,000 i i personal property and a real estate of $2i>0,000 a year and was one of his executors. Lord Sudeley at one time embarked largely in a Welsh flannel manufactory which was not a success. His jam farm and factory promises much better. He is a lord-in-waiting to the Queen. The Princess de Sngan, who is at the pinnacle of Parisian high life, gave a most splendid masquerade ball lately. The courtyard of her residence the finest in Paris, was adorned with palms and ablaze with torchlights. In the hall and on the great staircase, walled with flowers, were placed at intervals fifty powdered footmen. The Princess represented a peacock, her dress being a miracle of splendor. Mrs. Deacon, an American, was a briliant succesri as a dragon fly. Toward midnight a door was opened and a huge hive was seen. A drum beat, and from the hive burst a swarm of bees in bodices of brown satin aprons spangled with gold, and little gold hemletswith bees' proboscises on them. They danced a charming ballet, in which they pretended to try to escape, bnt were deterred by the drones —gentlemen in brown satin. At length the queen chose a king, and the ball ended by a waits of drone-and bees. Prof, liurdon Sanderson, one uf the ablest of English physicians, said, in a lecture on cholera, that if the disease intended to attack Loudon this year it would long ago have been ou the march.

'I he motive alleged is that wumcu are unlit for such public service. Business has not for many years been so dull ui Austria as it is now. At the late annual market nf Bruun the |.rices of cotton cloth and leather showed a great fall on the averages of previous years. 'I'he war alarms stopping puichas.-s fi-.m Hussia anrl the Danubiaii principalities uisy have had something to rl.. with this. Bnt the general stagnation iu Au.trian commerce cannot lie explained wholly by this cause, for it existed throughout lhe past years, as is shown iu the iliiuiniOicil rsonpte of all the railway tines and of the Danube Steamboat Company.

The general belief there is thut tliraje whodn not know the English tongue are in the rear of civilization. A writer upon coaching in London concludes that the use of tho whip is now nearly a lost art, one reason for which is tbat wfiereas in old times almost any animal was considered gond enough fnr a couch, arid the stimulus ..I I In- Irr.-lr was a necessity, now'only highbrod and not overworked horses are employed, anil there is little occasion for urging. An invention which would be of great service here has just been patented by Mr. C'rainmond of Belfast. It shields the wheels of tram cars so us tn prevent the possibility nf injury to any person fulling between thoni. Though simple it fulfils its purpose. A Frenchman namedCotnbeville, who lived nearSaiut-Denis, recently inherited 50,000 francs. The money worried him. How to take care of it, how to in- vestit, anil how to guard against thieves and sharpers pu/./.led him during the day and kept him awake during the night. At last he cotilil'nt stand it any longer. So he bunged himself. The police have recently made a masterly and successful raid on nil the racing nnd betting clubs ill Manchester, England, which have, been regarded ns a nuisance impossible to put down for many years. Twenty-thr.ie clubs were raided and ISO prisoners made and bound over iu heavy sums for trial. Eighty-nine out of niiity-one members ofthe Cork County Club voted for tlie expulsion of Dr. Charles Tanner forilie- playiug a black flag during the recent visit of the Prince of Wales.

The first drew a long, deep breath from the receiver anil reported that the sen- sensation was delightful; he felt it tingle to the ends ol his fingers. The second took uu inspiration, and became pale and agitated; he was told that the oxygen hud found a weak spot in his anatomy. The third man declared he felt nothing; he could take the stuff in all day. Then it was discovered that the professor' hud forgotten that morning to connect the tube with the oxygen reservoir The patients had been breathing ordinary atmospheric air. The Japanese of the higher classes, as is generally .known, have adopted very generally European dress in place of their own graceful garments. The higher class of officials, having for the most part become accustomed to foreign dress in Europe, have retained it on their return home. Hitherto, however, the wearer could select what dress ho pleased, except iu certain court cere monials, when European clothing was de. riijoeiir; but now, it appears, the option is no longer to be iven. Officials of all classes must give np their uative dress and adopt the European when engaged in their official work, and, aB the latter p> beyond the means ofthoBewho get only small salaries, a suite of European clothing is to be furnished to each of them at the cost of the State. Such at least is thn story which comes from Japan by the last mail Young Lady—Do you not think that Miss S. is a very graceful girl?
