FRASER. subscribe for The Prospector. A petition will shortly be circulated and forwarded to the government asking for the street on the river hank to be opened up. It is the intention to make a thirty-three foot street, instead of sixty-six feet, so as to overcome some of the difficulties of people having houses on the line of Btreet. The opening up of this street is a good move and is a thoroughfare that will give access to valuable property, besides cleaning out a few of the dens run by the Chinese. A move is also being made to straighten out the affairs of the street running past Uren's blacksmith shop nn which in Hurley's house and barn. Witli the advancement now going on why does the government not have the townsite affairs put in shape, so the residents and property holders will know the true state of affaire. In another column we publish a communication from Kamloops, "An Appeal." While not agreeing altogether with the views we publish same in fairness of the opinions on this question now being so actively discussed by the general public. At last a move has been made in (he matter concerning the cemetery and we hope the work will continue. While the question ie now warm it would be advis- uhle for the committee to start in at once in the subscriptions and repairs. A, W. Smith, M. P. P., lias introduced a bill in the legislature to amend the Landlord and Tenant Act. THE SCHOOL BILL. The debate on the School Bill was resumed liy Mr. Denis Murphy. The bill could not he considered without also considering the p.ct amending the Assessment Act. The hill proposed extending the system inaugurated in 1803, in the case of the coast cities, to the other cities anil towns of the province, anil this could not be done without a readjustment of the taxation. This would most affect the coast cities, and the leader of the opposition hail piotested that it would increase Vancouver's burden by $3,000 and probably increase lhat of other cities. With regard to the revenue tax, the principle could not be wrong anil oppressive, 01 Mr. Martin would have repealed it when he had the opportunity, lie could not stigmatise it as the nefarious thing which some newspapers popularly believed lo voice his opinions declared it to be, without stultifying himself. lie said it was wrung because it taxed the peo- pie least able to pay taxes—the laboring classes. In that he was wrong. The province must hav money for public works, rail ways and general development: there must be increased taxation. But the government did TO THE DEAF.

Last session they imposed a tax on coal and the inineraljoulputjandduring the recess theyjabol- ished lhe rebate on lumber, Mr. Robins, of the New Vancouver Coal Company, begged lhe goveinmnnt not to impose tlie tax on coal; it would ruin the industry. Othei industries protested against being taxed. Mine-owners and lumbermen declared they could not stand it. Tlie member for Rossland vehemently opposed putting a tax on minerals; in fact, every person whose pocket was affected cried loudly against being taxed, lie was glad that the government had had the courage to take a determined stand. Every tax is opposed, no matter what class it touches, and the increase in the revenue lax must meet with opposition, like those which w'ent before it. [Applause.] No one would venture to say that the government hail not expended lhe money derived by those taxations to the best advanthgc, or lhat they had spent a dollar unnecessarily. It was absurd for him and hisfcllow-membcrs to come to the house and ask large appropriations for their constituencies, and then, when taxation was proposed, oppose it. The ordinary citizen would blame the supporters of the bill for assisting the government to impose this new tax of $2, but in time all would come lo acknowledge its justness. Mr. Martin owned that tlie tax had some good qualities; it would reach the Chinese and Japs, lie was informed by the members from Cariboo that the miners there would be willing to have the old free millers' tax re-imposed in order lo make the Chinese and Japanese pay their share of the taxes. The opposition argument that it would full on the poor man was unfair. Property owners paid on their real estate and other property, What would thc oppositon propose? Would they still further tax the industries of the country? The proposed tax was a just one, and was calculated to reach just [hat class which could not be reached in any other way, those persons who, enjoying the benefits of established institutions, protected in their life and property, shirk paying their just share of the expenditure. The schools benefit the poor perhaps more than the rich, for the latter can afford to pay for their children's education at private schools and colleges. Why should nol the poor man contribute to the general revenue? Was it not better that men should pay a tax of $5 than be saddled with an immense bonded indebtedness? [Applause.] The people of British Columbia were peculiarly situated. Today a man might be a laborer; tomorrow, by a stroke of fortune, a millionaire. No other country presented Bucb possibilities. Fortunes were to be made at every turn, and all had an equal chance, but the development of the country by roads and railways would would increase those chances, and be felt sure that no one would object to contribute to such development. (Applause.) Wages in British Columbia were high- et than in any other part of Canada. The man who paid $1 tax 111 Ontario was actually paying more than the one who paid $5 tax here. In Ontario the government paid laborers $1 a day; here they got $2.50 a day. Give tbeaveruge laborer here the alternative of working in Ontario for $1 a day nnd pay no taxes, or e.irn $2.i50 here and pav $5 a year taxes, and how many would accept? (Applause.) Tbe revenue tax was not tbo terrible thing some people would like to make it. It is not wrong In principle, Il reaches the Chinese, it reaches everybody, and no one can claim that it is too heavy. (Applause.) Bourassa Crushed. An Ottawa despatch says: In tbe house by a vote of 144 against 3, for Mr. Ilourassa's resolution on tbe Sumh African war was defeated. Those who voted for were: Messrs. Bourassa, Angers and Monet. The retolution was to tlie effect that Canada bad the right to participate in the settlement; that an honorable peace ahould be effected, and that enlistment of Baden-Powell's Police should be stopped. Mr. BouraBsa made a long speech iu support of his motion. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in reply, pointed ont how inconsistent it was for Mr. Bourassa to be wanting to participate in the settlement of the South African problem, seeing that he rcliisi'il to take any part in sending a contingent. Sir Wilfrid made an eloquent speech, showing bow just the war was on the part of the Briiish and bow the wh le fault of the outbreak of hosiili'ies wns due to Mr. Kruger and his insolent ultimatum, In conclusion the premier said that either the Dutch or English would have to rule iu South Africa, and he preferred English civilization to the 200-year old methods of the Dutch. Whnt was desir- ab'e in South ifrioa was confederation similar to Canada, under tbe British Hag. Mr. Borden said that it did not require the eloqueht speech of the premier lo persuade him to vote againBt the resolution. IN THE WEST LILLOOET DISTRICT Are Now fn 1 nil Swing: and Others areBelufj Installed.-A Busy Season Ahead for the Whole District.

In K. T. Ward vs. Bank of B. N. A. and Cran, a similar case, which has been going on for two days, judgment reserved. The Pan-American Inhibition. Toe provincial government bave practically decided to have a mineral exhibit at the Tironto fair owing to the large number ot visitors who will be there from the Pan-American exhibition at Buffalo. Mr. Smith Curtis is urging that there be an exhibition at the latter fair also, as a recent visit by him to New York convinced him that capital in the near future will come from there for British Columbia mines rather than from England. It is also urged that a newspaper man, because of biB tamiliar- ity wiih the best methods ot advertising and using tbe press, be advisable in the appointment of a commissioner. If the appointment is made it is believed that Mr. C. II. Gibbons of the Province will likely be the choice. Denis is All Right. Mr. Denis Murphy's speech on the school bill has evoked many high encomiums. Tbe member for West Yale bas a pretty trick of oratory, as one might ex. pect from liis name. When Dame Fortune was distributing her favors, she evidently upset Der basket of eloquence over the Einercld Isle, and sometimes we think that she thought tbat was enough for one place, and carried her store of happiness elsewhere. But, be this as it may, Mr. Murphy, in his speech referred, to showed that be possesses more than the faculty of saying things well. It disclosed him ns one who thins; out a difficult subject and handle it convincingly. He possesses also the inestimable quality of youth and if lie has not a career before him, we shall be much mistaken. He is spec- tally fortunate in being wise enough not to apeak when he has nothing to say.— Colonist. Looks Like lur.Yr. Kohert Smith, 0. P.

Tbe Calgary Albertan has the following despatch from Ottawa: " It is stated here authoritatively that as soon as the census returns a:e all in from the territories steps will bo taken to divide the present Noith vest Territories. Tlie proposal is to incorporate all east of the third meridian with Manitoba and constitute a new province of the weBtern portion under the name of Alberta. The capital of the new province will be Calgary." Here is the latest conundrum—"Why does Kruger wear thick boots." Tlie answer we are told, is obvious—"To keep du Wei from defeat." AN APPEAL. To the Working Men OF B. C: A bill is now before the Provincial Legislature asking for the increase of the present $3.00 revenue tax to $5.00. This falls as a direct tax upon lalior, and should not be tolerated for an instant by the workingmen of this province. Wc have already suffered long, and submitted paitently to the many indignities thrust upon us by bungling Legislators in the past, and now patience has ceased to be a virtue. We have been deprived of just representations in the legislature; this same revenue tax has very often been taken from us by stealth, by drawing our wages to the amount without our consent or knowledge. And worst of all, while our heads have been bent in toil, the public domain has been stolen from us in large quantities by charter mongers and company promoters, thieves, in collusion with the men to whom we foolishly trusted to guard our interests. Let us rise in our might and put a stop to this sort of thing at once and for ever. We can do it this way: If this bill is defeated in the house well and good. Don't forget the members who opposed it; they will be deserving of the support of the people at the next election. If the bill is carried, as it is likely 10 do, then this appeal is a call to action. A copy is being sent to every constituency in thc province lhat it is possible to speedily reach, and you are urged to call public meetings in each riding, pass resolutions condemning the act, and ask for its repeal. Many of the members will have voted against it, and Ihey would have their hands strengthened by such resolutions. To those who voted for it, we can only say, " It's time you found out lhat you arc our servant, and that if we say so, you must repeal this act or lie dismissed, just the same as any servant who refuses to do his master's request. We claim it is better for a few to swallow their pride than for the whole province to be bound in the bonds of iniquity. There are a few good men in every constituency whom this appeal will call to arms, like a bugle to the battle field. Do not wait; but go ahead, and call a public meeting in the most populous centre: get a few live speakers from among yourselves, and present the question fairly to the people and have resolutions passed condemning the act, and call upon the members for that district to urge and vote for the repeal of the act. If it is possible, and in accordance with public sentiment, pass an addbiona! resolution asking him or them to advocate a tax of three or live per cent, per annum upon thc present selling values of the land, including mineral, with periodic valuations. This is a just method of raising public revenue, and has made New Zealand the most prosperous country in all the earth. Fellow workmen! brothers! arise! Do not let this thing pass unnoticed, or we will be still further oppressed oppressed by our self-imposed taskmaster. It is in our power to repeal this unjust measure. Strike! While the iron is hot. Strike! for our homes and little ones, and—liberty. Alister Thompson. Kamloops, B. 'aC, March 9, loot. _*x-F»resl_ent Harrison Dead. Indianapolis, March 13.—Gen. Benjamin Harrison died at 4:45 this afternoon without regaining conciousness. His death was quiet and painless, there being a gradual sinking tin till the end came, which was marked by a single gasp for breath, as life departed from the great statesman. The relatives, with few exceptions, and several of his old and tried friends, were at the former president's bedside when be passed away. Benjamin Harrison, tbe twenty-third president of the United States and grandson of the ninth president, was born at North Bend, Ohio, August 20, 1833, He graduated from Miami university, Ohio, in 1852, and after studying law, began practice at Indianapolis in 1854. In 1862 he entered the United States army in the civil war and assisted in raising the 70th Indiana regiment of which he was made colonel. In 1S64 ho was placed in command of a brigade and made the campaign with Gen. Hooper's corps from Chattanooga to Atlanta. For ability and galantry he was given 'he rank of brevet brigadier general of volunteers in 1S65. It is announced that the landing of Strathcona Horse, fully equipped, in South Africa, cost Lord Strathcona about $400,000. The outfitting alone cost upwards of $150,000. Census Commissioner. R. L.

Professor Vang of the University of C.uef, Switzerland, entertains groat fears concerning the future of our lower Limbs. This sage is of tlie opinion thut within the next thousand years human beings will have forgotten how to use their legs, and that these limbs, If evolution will not do awny with them, will serve as mere ornaments to the rest of the body. Professor Yung states that at the present age human beings show a de- elded aversion to personal or physical locomotion, and this is more mauifest every time a new automatic traveling . Instrument Is invented and rendered practical. Steam, electricity, cable power and the different velocipede machines all bear an Influence over us and create n dislike for walking, and the future generations will likely have the convenience of steerable airships at their wludows aud electric automobiles at their doors, aud these conveyances will be so cheap that almost every oue can own them, and this means the doom of our legs. The latter will be regarded as super- lltious appendages, no use will be made of them, and who knows but that they may disappear altogether? But so much more will our arms develop in length and strength. These are the cruel laws of evolution, nud It will be due to their pmuks that future generations will again resemble the apes. There will come another epoch of short legs and long arms. Compiled Wltb the Law.

We publish below a complete synopsis of tlie Manitoba Elevator bill, giving all the salient points und provisions of the same: Sections 1 to 13 are of an interpretation character, citing the tale of ihe act and limiting its operations to the inspection district of Man it oba, providing for the appointment ami defining the duties uf tlie warehouse commissioner, whose heuh office is located at Winnipeg, and weighmaster, and fixing fees for weighing grain. The fees are, for each carload, 25 cents, and each cargo, per 1,000 bushels, 30 cents. Sections 11 lo 28 deal with terminal elevators and warehouses, the managers of Which must procure a license from the commissioner. Provision is made that, such terminal elevators shall receive for storage any grain, dry and in a suit able condition for warehousing, that is tendered in the usual maimer in which elevators are accustomed to receive grain in the ordinary and usual course of business, not making any discriminat Ion between persons desiring to avail themselves of warehouse facilities-such grain to be in all cases inspected and graded by a duly authorized inspector, and to be sLored wiih grain of a similar grade. In no case shall grain of a different grades be mixed together while in store. Sections 2V> to 42 are of more general interest to the public, as relating to country elevators, flat warehouses and loading platforms. All elevators and warehouses are declared to be public, and must secure an annual license, as also being subject to the government and control of the rules and regulations promulgated by the governor-in-counwl. Section 34 states lhat "the person operating such country elevator or warehouse shall keep a true and correct account in writ ing, in proper books, of all grain received, stored and shipped at such elevator or warehouse, stating the weight, grade and dockage for dirt or other cause of each lot of grain received in store for sale, storage or chip- ment, except as hereinafter provided, and shall, upon the request of any person delivering grain for storage or shipment, receive such grain, w thout discrimination us to persons, during reasonable and proper business hours, and shall insure it against loss by lire while in his elevator or warehouse, and shall, upon request, deliver to such person a warehouse receipt or receipts therefor, dateil the day the grain was received and specifying upon its face the gross and net weight of such grain, the dockage for dirt or oiher cause, and the grade of such gra in when graded conformably to the grade fixed by law and in force at terminal points; and every such receipt shall stat*' upon its face that the grain mentioned in such receipt has been received into store and that upon the return of such receipt, and upon payment or tender of payment of all lawful charges for receiving, storing, insuring, delivering or other wise handling such grain, which charges may have accrued up to the time of the return of such receipt, such grain Is deliverable to the person on whose account it has been taken into store, or his order, either from the elevator or warehouse where it was recohed for storage, or, if either party so desires, in quantities not less than carload lots on track at. any terminal elevator in the inspect ion district of Manitoba on the same line of railway or any lino connecting therewith, so soon as the transportation company delivers the sanif at such terminal and the certificate of grade and weight aro returned; except that in the case of a country elevator or warehouse on the Northern Pacific and Manitoba railway line or any line of railway operated therew'lh, ;f either party do- sires such grain to be shipped to a terminal point, it shall be delivered on track at the proper terminal elevator at or adjacent to Duluth. Such grain when so delivered at terminals shall be subject to freight, ■weighing and inspection charges and all other charges (if any) lawful at such terminal point; and the party delivering shall be liable for the delivery of such grain as will on weighing at such terminal point conform to the grade according to Canadian government inspection and as near as possible to the weight mentioned in such receipt. Nothing heroin shall prevent the owner of such grain from, at any time before it is so shipped to terminals, rtv quiring it to be shipped to any other terminal than as above provided." Provision is made in section 36 that "in case then* is a disagre- ment between Ihe purchaser or the person in the imniediute charge of and receiving the grain at such country elevator or warehouse, and the person delivering the grain to such elevator or warehouse for storage or shipment, at the time of such delivery, as to the proper dockage for dirt or otherwise, on any lot of grain delivered, an average sample of at least three quarts of the grain in dispute may be taken by both of the said parties, or by either one of them if the other declines, and forwarded in a suitable sack, properly tied and sealed, express charges prepaid, to the chief inspector of grain, which shall be accompanied by the request, in writing, of either or both •f the parties aforesaid that th« said chief inspector will examine th* sample and report on the dockage the said grain is, in his opinion, entitled to and would receive if shipped to the terminal points and subjected to official inspection. "l>. It shall be the duty of the chief inspector, as soon as practicable, to examine and inspect such sample or samples of grain and to adjudge the proper dockage to which it is, in his judgment, entitled, and which grain of like quality and character would receive if shipped to the terminal points in carload lots aud subjected to official Inspection. "8. As soon as the chief inspector lias so examined, inspected and adjudged the dockage lie shall make out in writing a statement of his judgment ami finding and shall transmit a copy thereof by mail to each of the parties to tlie disagreement, preserving the original together with the sample on file in his office. "4. The judgment and finding of. the chief inspector on all or any of the said matters shall be conclusive." "37. Whenever complaint is made, ta writing, under oath to the commissioner by any person aggrieved, that the person operating any country elevator or country warehouse under this tut fails to give just and fair weights or grades or is guilty of making unreasonable dockage for dirt or other cause, or fails in any manner to operate such elevator or warehouse fairly, justly and properly, or is guilty of any discrimination forbidden by this act, then it shall be tlie duty of the commissioner to Inquire into and investigate such complaint and the charge therein contained; and to this end and for this purpose, the commissioner shall have full authority to examine and inspect all books, records, and papers pertaining to the business of such elevator or warehouse and all the scales, machinery and fixtures and appliances used therein, and to take the evidence of witnesses under oath and for that purpose to administer the oath. "2. In case, the commissioner finds the complaint and charge therein contained, or any part thereof, true, he shall give his decision in writing and shall at once serve a copy of such decision, with a notice to desist and abstain from the error and malpractice found, if any, upon the person offending and against whom the complaint was made; and in order to afford prompt redress to the person injured, the commissioner shall make a special report of the fact found and ascertained upon tho investigation of the complaint and the charge therein contained, (which report shall also include a copy of his decision), to the minister of inland revenue, who may institute and carry on in the name of th-s complainant or on behalf of th» crown, as to him may seem fit, such actions, civil or otherwise, as may be necessary and appropriate to redress the wrongs complained of and to prevent their recurrence. The erection of fiat warehouse! and loading platforms is provided for in sections 41 and 42 as follows: "On a written application to tht commissioner by ten farmers residing within forty miles of their nearest shipping point, he may give permission to any person to erect under the provisions of this net, a flat warehouse covered with metal of not less than 3,000 bushels enpneity with power to enlarge tlie same should necessity require it, at such shipping point, Such fiat warehouse shall be erected on the rail* way company's premises after* getting location of a siding, and the railway company shall be compelled to give such location with siding on its premises, in some place of convenient access, to be approved of by the commissioner, ar a rental not greater than that charged by standard elevators. If in the judgment of the commissioner more than one such warehouse is required at a station one or more additional warehouses may be authorized by him, and in such case all the provisions of this section shnll apply t© the construction of such warehouses; except that in the case of each such additional warehouse the applicants desirious of erecting it shall bo liable to pay a rental equivalent to six per cent interest upon the value of the lands taken, such value to be determined upon and fixed by tho commissioners, and shall also be liable to pay the cost of constructing the necessary siding, the company providing the necessary rails and fastenings and charging the aj>- plicants either the actual cost thereof or an annual rental of six per cent upon such actual cost, at tho option of the applicants. "2. The owner and operator of such warehouse shall give bonds and lie licensed in the same manner as elevator owners. "3. Such warehouse shall contain not less than three bins of 1,000 bushels capacity each, and each bin shall be numbered by a separate number. "_. The owner of any such warehouse shall on the application of any farmer undertaking to ship a carload of grain, allot such farmer a bin in such warehouse as soon as one is available. The allotment of bins to applicants shall be made in the order of applications therefor, and without discrimination of any kind. No fanner sliall be allowed to hold more than one bin at any one time to the exclusion of other applicants. Applications for bins shall be made in a form to be approved of by the commissioner, ami blank forms for such applications shall b* furnished to applicants by the warehouse operator. "5. The owner or operator of any such warehouse shall at once on every allotment of a bin apply in writing on a form approved of by the commissioner, but furnished by such warehouse operator, to tho proper railway official to furnish a car to the person to whom such bin Is allotted, stating in such application the time when the car will be required, such time to be not later than live days from the allotment of the bin. "6. The shipper shall be allowed for filling such bin and loading on car six clear days exclusive of Sundays, and as much longer time as is necessary to get and load a car from such bin (twenty-four hours being allowed for such loading). If & carload of grain is not delivered into such bin and loaded on a car within the time above provided, the Warehouse, operator may at liis option either load on car the grain then in such bin and ship it for the owner to terminal elevator subject to freight inspection olid weighing charges at terminal antl all charges of such flat warehouse use. including an additional charge of one half a cent per bushel for such loading, or he may sell such grain on account of the owner thereof and sliall then be liable to account to tho owner for the proceeds, after deducting all proper charges.

A CURIOUS CLIENT. Ah Unexpected Verrtlet on a, Picture Tainted by Col. While the late David Col, the great Antwerp painter, was at work in Ids studio one day many years ago there enter ed a farmer who requested him to palut his father's portrait. The artist, not being overburdened with wealth at that time, gladly agreed to do the work and Hiiid that he would he pleased to sec the old gentleman at any time. Thereupon the farmer Baid mournfully: "Oh, you can't see him, sir, for he's dead." "Then how on eavth do you expect me to paint his portrait?" asked the artist, with a nigh. "Oh, you're fooling me, sir!" fiiild the farmer. "Just tell ino whose picture that )s on the easel there." "Thot Is a portrait of St. Anthony," was the answer. "Is that really St, Anthony?" "Yes," "Did he sit to you?" "Of course not." "Well, then, isn't that a clear proof that you are able to make the portrait of a dead man?" Col, who wanted money badly, allowed himself to be persuaded by this novel argument, nnd, therefore, he obtained from the farmer as many particulars about tbe dead man as he cuuld, and then, after making a sketch of the boh, because he said that he closely resembled his father, be began work on the portrait. When it was finished, he sent for the farmer and showed it to him. To his Burprise, the man fell ou his knees und bugnn to cry bitterly, his eyes meanwhile fixed on the portrait. Col flattered him self that he had made a lifelike portrait and that it was the wonderful rescin bluuce which caused the son to grieve ■o sorely. "Why do you cry so much?" he asked trying to comfort lilm. "Oh, my dear sir," was the unexpected reply. "I never thought that any one Could change so much In such a shorl time! Dear me, how terribly ugly my poor father has becomeI" A THRILLING RESCUE OUT OF THE VERY JAWS OF DEATH WAS HE SNATCHED. An Old Whaleman'! Exciting Star*? of n Race Fop Life Thnt Mnde Ills Utttr Torn Gray end C'uused Him tu Quit tbe Business, "It was in 1875," said the old sea captain, "and I was au able seaman on the whaler ltivenoak looking for blubber in the south Atlantic, with a seat in the second mate's whuleboat. We had had the boats ready to lower and the mastheads manned for over three weeks before we sighted grease, and when the cry, 'There she blows!' rang out from the fore skysnil yard tht' old mnn went wild with delight. 'Sperm whale sure!' he bawled. 'Down from aloft, every one! Stand by to lower 1' We got the bouts off iu good shape, and our boat took the lead, which we held till we camp up with the whale. The boat header let go his harpoon, sending it out of sight into the side of the monster, which started off at a rate of speed that made the boat hum through the water. She kept this up for 20 minutes, and we soon lost sight of the Rlvenoak and the other boats. And then, as though tiring of pulling UK along, she suddenly showed Unices and began to make for the bottom like a load of pig lead. The rope, one end of which was attached to tlie harpoon in the whale's back, ran out of the boat ho fust that it looked like a thread of blue BtnoliQ. ' 'Cut that rope if It fouls,' cried the mate, tossing me a hatchet, 'and lose no time about it! If you don't, Cod help ! The beast is going to sound 100 fathoms, sure!' 1 had just leaned forward to pick up the implement when there was a -sudden jerk, a crashing, whirring sound, and I knew that the rope had fouled. The next ml mi to 1 felt myself drawn down through the ocean like a shot from a gun 1 entlght a brief glimpse of the longboat Hashing through the water, a number ol btniggling forms, and then 1 began tu come up. It seemed ages before 1 reach ed lhe surface and those blue skies never seemed so welcome before. Only one of Uiy comrades succeeded in getting uut of the bout, and he was flouting about on a long plank which had been stored In the bottom of the boat for just such a purpose. I swam up and caught hold of the other end of it. Luckily the wnter wa calm and the plank kept our heads well out of water. Not a sign of oil ship oi small hunts did we see, however, and the thought came over me that we might just ns well have been pulled to the bottom by the whale as to die by indies. The hours wore on. however, and we began to grow weak and it got to he a question of how liuch longer we could hold out. "Just ns we were about to despair n' ■ver being rescued, my companion. Hi! Royce, gave n shout of joy aud poluteil out over the ocean toward n big stent! frigate which was pointing in our direc tion. We were quite sure she saw us n- we must have been plainly marked agniiisi the angry colors of the sunset. Tlie ves Mel looked like a man-of-war, for he: spars were clean cut and rakish nnd wc caught the glint of polished brass work The smoke was pouring out of her fun Uol and iu a few minutes she was within i\ quarter of a mile of us. 1 remarked to Royce, tlint we were very lucky, nnd re ci iving no reply 1 turned to look ut him. "1 have never seen such a look in n man's face before nor since. It was n- white as a sheet, his eyes seemed t'e bulge out of his head anil his teeth nil tied together with castanets. lie eaughl my look aud in reply pointed off in tin direction opposite to that from which tin frigate was approaching. 'Sharks.' h whispered. "They have been attracted b) the whale's blood. It's all up uow, fn sure.' "I saw but one shark. Tie was quite ;: distance off and was making for us in ;i leisurely way. The men on the warship saw it too and realized our danger. A single dull boom was heard, and a sold shot struck ahout HO feet to one side of the man eater, which paid no attention to the compliment hut continued to make for us with a slightly increased speed. Behind him, about 30 feet in the rear, was another shark. Roth were quite near now. So was the warship. "Wo could hear the crew manning the davits and fails; we could hear the splash as the small boat took to the water. Again the gun boomed from the warship, hut this lime the shot went clear over the sharks and struck the water a quarter of a mile beyond. Nearer aud nearer eame the first shark, uud we now saw that the small boat could, not reach us in time. "The beast made straight for Royce. who screamed with terror. Over on his buck turned the shark, with his cavern Otis mouth open and his long, cruel teeth reeking with froth. The boat was sill 20 yards off. Itoyce in sheer terror lit go iiis hold ou tlie plank and tried to swim for it. The next instant the shark was upon him. I closed my eyes, heard a shriek from Royce. and when I looked the wiiter was stained with blood, but Royce wns gone. It was my turn now. The second shark was nlmost upou me, ami I caught a glimpse uf his little swinish eyes as he turned over on his back. The yards of the warship were thronged, and nothing could he heard but the splash of the approaching boat. 1 was paralyzed. I could not have left the plank to save my sou!. Nearer came the shark, and again I shut my eyes. I could even hear the snuffling of the beast, aud then came the clear, coo! command: 'Steady, men! Aim! Fire!' A volley of musketry awoke the stillness, and then I lost consciousness. When I came to, 1 was on the deck of the United States ship . The jackies in the rowboat had shot the shark when it was within three feet of me. "Since (hen, gentlemen.

It was nut ouly an eloquent speech, but it was remarkable fur its masterly array of fuels nud figures and its convincing arguments. "Yuii must have devoted considerable time to its preparation." said one uf the statesmen's admirers. "Well, I gave nbout two hours to it," Tnonilis replied, with u careless. Indifferent air. Somebody repented this to Stephens in the presence of several congressmen. "Two hours!" he exclaimed, somewhat irritably. ''Prepared that speech in two hours, did lie? 1 spent two weeks on it Thai's all I cure to say."

His weird methods of conceiving und working out his pictures never had a more startling illustration than i.i the case of bis must famous canvas, "Christ Before Pilate." This picture, which Is 20 feet long nnd 12 feet high, contains more than 40 figures. All the figures save one were sketched In with u rapidity almost maniacal between dtiwn anil twilight of one day. 'The one space remaining empty wns that reserved fur the figure nf .lesus, nnd it remained so ninny dnys while Mnnkaczy worked on the other figures, he approached the oasis of white canvas left untouched by his blazing colors the artistic and devotional fervor grew upon him, and he shut himself nway from the sight of man tlint lie might iu perfect solitude and silence realize his conception of the linn of Sorrows. When the picture was finished and had brought him worldwide funic, be always insisted that while lie was sitting nlnno and lust in a profound reverie n white vision flouted before liis eyes and passed into the iinpninted space on the canvas.

Not only In Canada, But In Every Civilized Country Throughout lhe World—M.rlt Alone hns Glvt n This Sle.llc-ine Its Great Prominence Over Competitors Everywhere. The reputation achieved by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills not only in Canada, but throughout the world, rests upon a very solid basis, which may be summed up in two words— sterling merit. The Enterprise has had occasion to investigate a number of cures effected by this medicine, and knows that in some instances at least these cures wero wrought after other medicines had failed even to give relief. Recently another cure enme under our notice that cannot fail to Increase tbe popularity of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills iu tltc locality in which it occurred, and as we can vouch for tho facts, it may well bring hope te sufferers elsewhere. Mr. Walter If. Johnson is one of the best known residents of lite northern section of Queen's county. He resides in tho town of Caledonia, where be keeps an hotel, and also runs a stage that carries passengers and mail between tbat town and Liverpool, a distance ot some thirty miles. Mr. Johnson was in Bridge- water recently, on which occasion lie gave a reporter of this paper thu following facts: About three years ago he was taken very ill. He bad tho best of medical attendance, but made very little progress towards recovery, and the doctor told him there was very little hope that he would be able to return to his former work. Tbe trouble appeared to have located itself in liis kidneys, and for eight weeks or more ho was confined to bed. Ho suffered greatly from constant pains in the back, his appetite became impaired and bis constitution generally appeared to bo shattered. At this juncture he derided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and got a half dozen boxus. In the course of a couplo of weeks he noticed an improvement in his condition and he continued the use of the pills until ho had taken some ten or twelve boxes, when he not only felt that his cure was complete, but also felt that in all respects bis health was better than it bad been for .vein's. Since that time he has been continually driving his coach between Caledonia and Liverpool, and has not bad the slightest return of tlio trouble, nol withstanding that he has to face at times very inclement weather, that might well bring on a return of the trouble bad not his system been so strongly fort ilied against it through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If the blond i.s pure and wholesome disease cannot exist. Tlie reason why Dr. Williams' rink Pills cure so many forms of disease is that they act directly upon the blood and nerves, thus re-aching the root, of the trouble. Other medicines act only upon the symptoms of the trouble, and tbat is the reason the trouble always returns when you cease these medicines. Dr. Williams Pink Pills make permanent cure-s in kidney troubles, rheumatism, erysipelas, anaemia and kindred diseases. Dut be sure you get the genuine which bear the full name Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Teoplo on thc. wrapper around every box. EPIGRAMS BY BALZAC. Love Is not only a sentiment; it is an art.
