N- .wonoer il« asanir 11„ woo Bacr bundled himself towards the end of the deck whereon 1 was standing, looking, I have no doubt, ruefully upon this acquisition, should exclaim ashe atw me— "Vou have got a revolver theie, ttranger and you are In a jolly fix, ain't yim now, how to fire it off?" • That was just my difficulty, so I replied meekly, "Can you tell mc if it is loadedf "Why, don't you know?'' replied the youth, with great contempt. "Mr. Ti. has just given it to me, and I forgot to ask him if it was loaded or not. Do you know anything about revolvers'" "Should rather think I did," was the response. "Let us have a try." As he spoke he took the weapon out of my hand, and soon solved the doubt, a. be discharged a ringing shot over the ship's side. The report brought two or three of the stewards to where we stood, wanting to know what the noiae was about. "Did ye think I had killed yer graiid- motherl" answered the youth very rudely. Then as he saw the purser coining along, he changed his tone, and commenced to i-xplsin tba situation, asservating very strongly lhat the revolver would be in far better hands if the lady would give it to him. As no one made any reply to this, Master C. addressed himself directly to me. "It is a jolly good revolve,," he said, "and no use to a woman. Come now, I'll give you five dollars for it, lhat s a fair deal!" "I have told you thnt Mr. /. has made m? a preset-.; of this levoleer,-- |,rey rraiore it." more t in unwilling to pari witli 'iiis, hit ii,.'i:;inloui''s ],ro|iert_>, [he pnr»rr in- uti'inM • simplified the H« ,ii|i|" ! ihe hoy's hen . i i Mm aBiile, snd held the revolver in his own lirunl-., within a minute uf time; and them a calm, deliberate manner he showed me bow to manage tills niui- lerous liltln instrument. "You had better let your mozo carry this for you," said this good-natured gentleman. "I think I have a little case somewhere which Ihis will fit into. I will look at once, as earlv -o-inorrow we reich La Liheiiad, and I shall be busy," So ««ring, he withdrew. 'l'i,., day and the night passed, and th.* early morning found tne fast asleep when the poit of La Libertad was reached and left. As soon as 1 made my appearance on deck, one of the stewards accosted me as he pointed to the canvas bag which had come on board with Mr. Z. "The gentleman left hto ecmpHments for you, madam," he said; "and 1 was to give you these cocoa-nuts, Mr. Z. thought you might like them. Mr. Z. would like to have shaken hands with you, but lie would not have voir called. He toll me to say that he hoped you would have a good journey, and to be sure and get provisions wheiever you can." , This was the first and last I have seen of Mr. Z., but I shall always have a kindly temembrance of this sympathising eccentric fellow-tiavellsr. La Union was to be our next port, and in consequence the whole of the C. family were in a state of high excitement, as this was their point ol d»bark- ation. Great wat the sciubbing and dressing; and as some ot theii old clotheH were cast into the sea, I rescinded the wish of my heart,'—viz., that the accordion would be assigned to the deep in their company. Much as we all had suffered from that instrument, and often as we bail vowed vengeance againtt it, I don't think any one even shivered as the eldest C. girl performed "Home sweet home" for the last time. It was an "adieu" to us in a manner, and they were going home to "father." The children looked softened, too, as they were put into fresh raiment; and Master C. was so civil to me that I made over the bag of cocoa nuts lo him and his on the spot. Amapala was the next port, so 1 made my arrangements, and we were all in marching order when, some hours later, we stood opposite La Union. Like most places on this coast. La Union appeared to be an assemblage of red-tiled roofs, bnilt in groups, the gaps being filled up by dwarf, green sbruba, and.here and there by a tall palm-tree; tbe shore low and sandy snd looking as if quite ready to slip into the sea on the smallest provocation. This is a place of some magnitude, however, and is more regularly bnilt farther in the interior. A good deal of ttadu is dons here, and La Union holds the repntation of being an improv- ling snd progressive lown. more than ordinary curiosity, as the anxiety displayed by the <'. family to greet tha husband snd father h.d quite enlisted my sympathies. Several boats bad come to tbe ship's tide, conveying merchandise and visitor"), but no Mr. C. pot in an appearance. The patience of the younger gitl wa* becoming exhsusted, and the had just fetched her breath for a scream, when a sailor came on tbe poop, and presented a letter to Mrs. C, the mother. This wat to tell har that Mr. C. waa far away up lb* country, but tbst he had deputed line vTctrcfmsni ■ w meet her aucMier children, and that apartments would be ready for hei in La Union. Tbe poor woman waa at once disappointed and relieved. Very soon a large host was waiting at the ship's side. A nice pleasant-looking man stepped on board, and it wag announced that he had come, ss requested, to fetch away Mrs. 0. Whilst the luggage was being put in the boat, tbe consul -held a iittle chat with me, and offered to take me over with them to see La Union, and partake of the hospitality of hi. house. There i-ould be a difficulty about my return, and the time was very short, so I was obliged to decline the favour. All over the world the American men are paiticuiarly kind to lone females, and I scored this gentleman as orfe example more on my list After a short coufeience with the captiin, the consul and his chaigestnok their departure. Mrs. C 's blue feather and the redoubtable accordion perched on a mountain of baggage wus the last we saw of this family. Now for Ami- pala. "I shall order a particularly good dinner on your account, as you will dine before you leave us," s,id Captain C, laughing. "What do you like bescf You know it will be long before you get a decent meal again." This hard fact had by this time been pretty well impressed upon me; but \ am not onelo "suck sorrow through the long tnbn," and so Ifeplied, "Do not disctiurai'.' n long fernai'-, il you pJra*»; other people h,ivr ias:e,i through rooafa travelling, mid »l;_i should 'I he on 'i H-n I heart, o r i ... eouiiii/h'i "I the r ,ilv wording part r llouiliiriis railway—tnat «tiich from km Pedro Sula tn Pueri I —as the most direct nn ■ i oouh*l i We were seated at lhe tiroinise'l flood dinner when the part of Aii,,|i,ik was reached, "ilr. Ball), llie consul, will come or board," somebody, »,i d, "Don't hurry; lie will take lii.-i time, nnd hu will we." Apparently the consul did take his time, for we watted long befoie the custom-house boat put off from the slime. As it came nearer, we hav that two persons occupied it—a little while man, anil a very Uige black man. "The consul is n it c ining thi- rime," said an officer; "heie's bin clerk „nd the captain." "Captain whol" I could not help repeating. "Oh," laughed the purser, "thst black fellow is called 'captain' on account of his warlike performances. He has fought, he says, in three of the revolutions in which this country delighted to revel some yea's ago; and, according to his own accounl, he was the means of routing the enemy on more than one oocatlon. "Do you believe this?" "Not a word. The captain in an awfui fellow to brag, but hn can work and ilni'.H work; 1 will sny that for him." "What brings lum herei" 1 ask. "He i> the consul's seivant. and I daresay has been sent to fetch or carry something for the custom-house. I hope to goodness he has brought some freeh n\h," continued the puiser. "Have you your tetter of introduction to Mr. Bab',? As he is Bot here, you had better send it to the clerk. That genileman in transactiitg some business with Captain C. just now, but 1 will see about it." Presently up cam* the cleik. He wns a dapper littlo man ttith a large white faca, which did cot impress me very favourably as to the salubrity of Ams- pala. 1 found, however, on conveisu.g further, that he was ready to vouch that Amapala was a perfect sanifarium. "Fever I yah—no I" exclaimed he irvdrawl- ed out English. ''People die! yes, some ime ail must; but fever here—ah, no, tnol" "Nor snakes neither," interposed the chief engineer, with a wink at his neighbour. "Nor yet snakes—no, no; mountain leopaMs, one or two—never seen—all nonsense." ■: il„",a mount.in-leopardi used Mgers,'' persisted the "Why, that mountain over ■till calred ihe Mountain of Tigers - .'

Two men came in as the "captain' welit out, and we were much amused to hear him informing tliem of the charge he was taking of the English lidy—"Urand thing to speak English," I heard him sny in that language, as ho finally took himself off.

The scheme was a very nice one, the promo- tors being quite aware that a railway by any other means was out of the question. It would ho u very pretty little game for these unprincipled speculators to induce us to destroy our beautiful city to enable them to sell their lands at a high price ! But worse than all, if tliey aecomplislnil this cunning trick, they would really take away all the little trade and traffic that r, mains to us, and make the Royal City a mere passing station for goods and passengers to English Pay.

And they say in lower tones, "Kngland and fiance would resist this annexation scheme with all their available force." It is wise to speak in whispers of opposing ihe iron Chancellor, who represents in Europe as much power as the first Napo con possesssed the day afier llie battle of Austerlitz. In the Commons last week, Lord Randolph Churchill made a very foolish speech. The Conservative leaders, if they have any claim to the character of Statesmen, are. bound to separate themselves from hs strategical methods.

If I were to tell you how many of them deserved to be hanged J should keep you listening for a day.

The Catho'ic hop, or "dancin.' for the love of God," is practised in many places on ihis continent where good na- tured people are engagul in raising funds lo pay for p'aces of worship. The New Vork Freeman's |ournal, which is the bes Caiho ic newspaper published on this continent says :—"It is bad enough to see lhe children of Irish pa rents deocendjng the st'irs of the elevat ed railrtM ' ■ ifi , dark, having il '■■ tihdei Ihi guardianship of the I 'Harrj ;,' W Ibin S or the " luldoon 1 'otei e but, when ■ . . -relies ,: ,-i. \ u ith.ei who can .,.

Councillors are not supposed to be lawyers, and they are necessarily compelled to be guided by their paid legal advisers. But it is strange that the omission in the Bylaw was only detected by outsiders who could not be so well-instructed as themselves in relation to the object of the By-law. 'Let us look at this object as it is publicly understood ; it is the construction of a branch railway from the Canadian Pacific at the Coquitlam, to this city. This is a most commendable object, and one that the citizens generally must regard with favor, although we have always insisted that a tramway with the requisite cars would answer all the purpose; not on the roads already constructed, but by a route well known, which would avoid the abrupt declivities existing on our present liighwuys. We are still but n small community and there is nothing in justify the construction of n rsil- sy, which must involve a large ex- ii'iiditure fori i,»i**l4>ii<>na.. u -1 I lolling stock, to say nothing of irjain- 1 • nance. The argument of p ,,, crested inland at Granville, to the "ii'ect that we shall be behind in the race for supremacy, und that other roiniutiiiitir's with railway connection must of neei'ssity take away all our t-ade, is mere besh. We have persistently ignored Port Moody, until the p.-ople nf that rising city, despairing of any connection witli us, have given the best part of their trade to Victoria, snd there it will now remain if we hud fifty railways. What have wo then to 1 pay a railroad? A little passenger traffic and some small trade thnt might employ one or two cars per day for the conveyance, it will be seen, therefore that if everything was favorable for tbe construe linn of a railway, we should be paying too dear for our whistle to give away ninety thousand dollars as our proportion supposing that would be accepted and tying a mili-stone round our necks in the shape of running expenses, which would ultimately render the city bankrupt and property worthless. On the otln-r hand, a tramway would answer every present purpose: it could be worked by private enterprise or be provided at the public expense and leased to a company. There would be no great outlay, and the existing *•—fl! ns/jd fit—ir all er. penses. It would al-io effect another and very important purpose, it would make the property on the entire length of road between its two terminal points very valuable, because it Would deposit passengers and their parcils at thedoors of their residences, an accommodation which could not, by any possibility, be afforded by a railway. But we doubt very much the legality of any By-law for the disposal of the city squares. As we have shown by a previous issue, if the reserves are not required by the citizens, they belong to the Dominion Government, and we have not yet obtained permission from tho Federal authorities to dispose of them. Our im pression is, that property holders on the streets and squares affected or likely to be affected, by the sale, was permission granted, are not yet satisfied that the sale would lie to their advantage and we question very much whether they ever will he, so that the sale, under any circumstances, can never bo carried out. There is, however, another and much more objeotionable feature to the construction of a branch railway, at present, at the espense of the city. From - Iinl ws ■'•i'. l'jtvnr. t the ctv's birthright and bind the city to piv ,.,, the conveyance,with all they VYe, do not, however, believe 1 ile of the Councillors were ies lo this atrocious fraud.

But we should counsel these gcntlsmen—we mean Messrs. Smithe, Davie, and Drake, to have a little consideration for them selves. We are perfectly aware of the feeling which is absolutely necessary amongst the memliers of a ministry, if it was only for the government of Trial Island. The vulgar adage of "honor among thieves" has some such application. Of course the Ooverninent at James Bay may be parfaitement if accord; they may understand one another better than we outsiders are inclined to think. For instance, that glaring piece of jobbery in the reservation of the land at the North Ann, must have been agreed upon in Executive Council and looks as if their agreement was solid. The construction of a branch of the C. P. R. to Granville may have charms for them of which we know nothing.

IFrom the Mailil. il Ouardlan, It is rather an unpleasant admission to be compelled to make, but our rulers are unequal to any role above thnt of a strolling player ; at least, we arrive at thn above conclusion after duly con sidering the tactics of honest John. He las a regular system which he follows on every occasion and at every place where he goes to "orate." The agents are appointed to "bill" the place, lo work up an excitement, and to manufacture an address ; and, when everything is ready, the "hon?st" makes his appearance It is quite immaterial Whether the majority of the inhabitants ":'■•• him or not : i'i fcqti he is ctl • M I" what they Hunk about bim. li I 1 fi, • ' agi nts in.' i In re to •'',',': a bim, 1h.1t , 11,;' oi en : ;r.-i -in v 1 nor hi '■'%" w,\ th , '•.,'' absolutely kick [pulling in the same boat with a steady STAPLE & FANCY GLUTi iti -AND- Gents' Furnishing GOODS MERCHANT TAILOES We have the finest aasortment „l Casinw liapall Broadcloths. , ni- model mini iters „*' him out earefulb pti ; aril his speech for the next issue of his own papers that appear after the meeting or the "picnic" or the gathering which he honors with his presence. The address s printed in full and the entire description, according to his paper, is carefully copied into the "Colonist" at Victoria. In any other part of the world such a course of proceeding would be deemed discreditable and disgraceful; but our people in this Province are easily pleased ; anything iu the shape of a man that can ".spout" is looked upon ns n ',;/,; ai'is. But "the best laid schemes of men and mice are gang aft agley," nnd honest John is only mortal and must take his chance with the rest. Sometimes everything goes olf without any serious inishup, and people are so used to his peculiar system, that they lo not think it worth their while to jive the matterssecond tl,ought. They forget that they become a party to honest John's deception through his paper ; that lie dors not care two straws for their opinions, good or bad, if they will only allow his own account of his proceedings to pass unchallenged. Sometimes, however, the coaxing, cajolery, or threats of his agents are unavailing to produce more I linn a perfunctory address, usually extracted by lavish promises of Government grants for roads, school houses, 4c, or the hint of a place or a contract. Some such affair occurred at Maple Ridge ; the Reeve and councillors of that Municipality having strong impressions about honest John, and it was quite evident that the address was obtained under very hard pressure and probably with the fear of being deprived of any aid to make their roads, strongly in their minds. This must have been patent to honest John, who in the speech published in his own paper is made to say some very disagreeable things to his audience, which he certainly would not have said did he know that nine-tenths of those present absolutely disliked him, He must have given his speech very nearly "verbatim" to the printers, because it is so like him. There is all the snarling and coarse sarcasm that he would address to men whom he know despised him. The address of the Municipal Council of Maple Ridge and honest John's reply are unique and deserve to bo recorded, as they will be, in his own paper. V»hot he. and his col- •rngur s iiiink nt the p.

Hall, rraerlv of Port Moody, has opened a book id stationery store on Columbia street, ew Westminster. We congratulate both Hall and the people of this district on e event. The high reputation of the for- ner has preceded him to this coast; and we earn from those who have had best oppor- Initiee of knowing him, both in tbo Eastern roviuces and the Western States, that he not only a thorough master of his business all iU details, but has always been noted k his atriut business habits and unswerving Integrity. We anticipate that Mr. Hall will hieve a signal success in this his new enture. A New Doctor.—Dr. H. E. Langis, a aduate of Victoria College, Montreal, and Noently in practice at Port Arthur Ont., hs taken up his abode iu Port Moody, and pa openod an office in O. K. Coon's drug lore, adjoining the Klgin House. Speaking his removal from Port Arthnr, the "Daily eatinel" of July 3rd, says:-"Dr. H. K. Lan- s leaves Port Arthur to morrow for Vie* »ria, B. C., where he will take up his per- anent residence. Since his arrival here ore than a year ago, he haa been a very tecftseful practitioner, and has made many Lends. He interested himself in a promiu- way with the establishment of the hos- |tol here, ami waa the first attending ysiciao 'tion. We wish the |rtby d'■'. "i euccrsa in his new field of j certainly hns no reference ^^1 | question. We arc inucb gratilied iu being able to inform onr readers that Port Moody, or rather the North Ann, has bean definitely fixed upon by the liuperinliinverimuntas the site for the new Graving Dock, nnd that operations for its const!uciioii will soon commence. We lisve this information from a gentleiqan in an official position, who hns received a letter to that effect. This will at once cast to the winds all tho nonsense industriously got up by laud jobbers respecting some mythical branch of the C P. K., which it supposed as likely to be constructed to Knglish Bay. It is very likely that a knowledge of this fact lias impelled tbe b. biers of laud at the bust named place to make a air-rema effort to get riil of their property. Thay are perfectly aware that after works of importance arc commenced at Port Moody, all hopes of Belling at anything like a high price will have vanianed forever, and all hope of purchasing lots at Port Moody, at prices tliey esteem their proper value, will have dis appeared. The establishment of the naval depot at Port Moody has been kept carefully out of sight by these Knglish Buy land-holders, and tho fact we arc now statiug will I* a sad blow to tbem, but, of course, we can't, help that. We note that the "Colonist" tries to deceive the public with the absurdity that Mr. Chapleau is coming to this Province in relation to the Chineae question. Surely, no one could lie impowd upon hy such ridioulous nonsense, Mr. Chaploau comes, very probably, to endeavor to make some compromise about the Esquimau dock, and he may achieve this by throwing open tbe lands in the railway belt on the mainland, or by giving the present local government a little more money to enable them to buy votes for the coming election.

Hamples of this wood taken out of buildings said to have been ere,-led mora than two centuries ngo did not show the slightest indication of decay, the wood bein^ as sound as on the day it was put into the building. In color this wood is nearly as dar*k aa logwood, is very heavy, and sinks in water, and so hard lhat the boring of tho holes for the spikes and forming the groves for (he rails is very laborious woik. It appears to be almost im pervious lo decay, but has a tendency to split if exposed to Ihe heat of a tropical sun for a few months; for which reason the zapote Bleepcrs have to be kept equally covered with ballast.

Such of the Egyptian peasants as havo received some little culture know that the waters of the Nile come from the "land of the dark men"—from the mountains of Abyssinia. In the year 1874, at the time of the war with Abyssinia, it happened that the Nile was slow to rise, anrl the opinion was expressed that the King of Daln-seh was fill- filling an ancient threat of Ethiopian kings to lead off the Nile before its entrance into Egypt, through a canal into the Red Sea. But the inhabitant of the more isolated inland villages has not even such lights as these. Should you ask him as to the Nile and its origin he would, with a grateful glance toward heaven, answer, simply, "Min Allah!" that is, from God, or from heaven.
