EXAMINED.\nWhen Mr. Parnell appeared to-day lie-\nfore the Parnell Commission he surprised\nthc court by staling that be wished to\nmake a correction in tlie testimony he\nhad given last Friday, where\nhe stated that . ho bad intentionally misled tlie House of\nCommons in regard to secret societies\nin Ireland. Mr. Parnell said tbat upon\nreferring to Hansard's report of the\nHouse of Commons, ol the speech in\nquestion lie found that tlie remarks\nwhich Sir Richard Webster quoted on\nFriday referred particularly to Ribbon-\nism und Ribbon societies, nnd not to\nsecret conspiracies generally. \"Therefore,\" said Mr. Parnell, \"the statement 1\nmade in the House of Commons was\nfairly accurate. The facts ure that Rib-\nbonism practically did not exist at that\ntime.\" This statement caused quite a\nsensation in court. Sir Richard Webster then proceeded with tlie cross-examination of the witness. Mr. Parnell\nsaid that ho had never heard that one\nhundred guineas had lieen paid lor\nthe defence of the Moonlighters at thr.\nCork Assizes in 1882. If he linn\nlieen asked to make such payments, the\nwitness said that in those days he would\nhavo approved of doing so fof the defense\nof the men. If he had reason to believe\nthat tlie law was being strained against u\nman. As a general rule, liowover, he\nwould limit such payments ns far as possible. The witness reimbursed Mr.\nHarris, who made himself responsible\nfor tlie defense of a prisoner. At the\nsame tiuie be instructed Mr. Hiuris not\nto undertake like defenses in the  future\nParnell said he hud sometimes paid\nout money Irom his own private a (count\nin behalf of the league. lie had no objection whatsoever to the inspection of\nhis private accounts. In answer to a\nquestion regarding physical force, he said\ntho majority of the physical torce party\nwere utter strangers to him, He had\nnever heard that Mr. Egan had joined\nthe Clan-na-Gael, and would regret exceedingly to find thut gentleman rejoining\nthe ranks ol Ihe physical forces.

MAY 8, 1889.\nMr. James O'Neil is authorized on behalf of the Nanaimo Courier to\ncanvass for subscriptions, advertising, receive payments and give receipts for the\nsame in tbe city of Victoria.\nMr. John Currie is authorized on lie-\nhalf of the Nanaimo CotnUBB to\ncanvass for subscriptions, receive pay-\nmeats and give receipts for the same in\nWellington. \t\nCANADA  AND  JAPAN.\nThb interview published in the Courier\nol yesterday with Mr. James Tboi p, Her\nBritannic Majesty's Consul al Yokohama,\nJapan, is an interesting one. Mr. Troup\nis a man wlio has studied the conditions\nolthat country and who is thoroughly\nconversant with the varied phases of\nlife ut present obtaining In that country.\nWe are sure that the views of that gentleman on the existing conditions of\naffairB in Japan are worthy of impartial\nconsideration by all who are interested in\nCanada's present and future welfare. Until the establishment of direct communication between the Dominion and the\nfar East little was known oi Japan or its\nproducts. Now the trade between the\ntwo countries is assuming proportions,\nwhich a few years ago were entirely undreamed oi. To the philanthropist and\ntlie optimist the strides which this hitherto benighted country is making must\ngive unbounded satisfaction. Emerging\nas it is from a state of comparative barbarism, to the full fledged light of civilization and progress, there ie ample cause\nfor congratulation, and the hope of the\nfuture is that Japan once freed from tlie\nabsolutism and exclusion which has\nmarked its former history will in the\nnear future be a land of great expectations and one wherein the latent powers,\nrepressed necessarily by narrow minded-\nness and prejudice, will under the beneficent influences of European and American civilization and enterprise be fraught\nwith the richest blessings to that hitherto\ncomparatively unknown land. The\nJapanese, while conservative, nre\nnot nearly so much so us tbe\nChinese. Tlie former are far more\nenterprising, they having seen and tasted of the sweets of civilizalien, and having freely intermingled with foreigners\nare anxious to partake of the advantages\nwhich such civilization and progress\nbring, and to this end they are gradually\nthrowing down every barrier of exclusion\nwhich has prevailed from time immemorial. The statement of Mr. Troup that\none third of tlie ten exported from Japan\ncomes to Canada is surely worthy of consideration, and it also shows the possibilities which the future has in store for\nthe development of a trade between the\ntwo countries. Canada hits within her\nborders just these commodities which\nJapan locks, and the latter is enabled to\nsupply the former with commodities\nwhich it is impossible for this country lo\nproduce. It will not be far fetched when\nwe say that Japan as a field where Canadian products may find a field to-day\nstands unrivalled among the countries\nwith which Canada bus commercial relations. The commercial connection is yet\nin its infancy, and we may reasonably\nexpect that the next few years will build\nup a magnificent trade between the two\ncountries. According to Consul Titoup,\nthe United States at present enjoys a\ncomparative monoply of the carrying\ntrade. The exports of that country find\na good market nnd a ready sale, and an\never increasing trade is developing between these nations. But we also\ngather from that gentleman's remarks\nthat it is not the intention of the Japanese Government\u2014which is liberal und\nprogressive\u2014to give any one power a\nmonoply of privileges. Equal\nrights are to be granted to\nall, and, of course, Canada\nwith her present facilities of commanding\ntrade will reap its share of the utlvun-\ntages accruing from the opening up and\ndevelopment of the trade of the land of\ntbe Rising Sun. That the Canadian Pacific directorate are alive to the importance of the trade between Canada and\nEast is apparent from the efforts being\nmade to establish a paying industry, und\none which while bringing profit to the\npromoters and which will be of\nincalculable benefit to all of the\nDominion. We live in an age oi progress and enterprises are to-day conceived\nand inaugurated, which a very few years\nago would be considered as tlie very\nacme of madness, and the promoters\nwould have been denounced us fools and\nmadmen. Our country is young, its\nvast resources are only just becoming\nknown, and, the next decade will no\ndoubt witness developments which to\nday if they were mooted would be pronounced ridiculous in the extreme. The\nlinks which bind the Occidental with the\nOriental are made of no common stuff;\nthey are destined to be na permanent as\nthe everlasting hills, and the small beginning of tlie present.will, in the future,\nassume a magnitude at present undreamed or unthotigbt of. Our future is\nassured, and it remains with us to he\ntrue to ourselves, nlive toour own interests and to the country of our birth or\nadoption.\nTHE   BOARD   OF   TRADE.\nmany and varied. If the functions oi\nthe Board be properly acknowledged, ami\ni ita legitimate objects andoitns be properly\ncarried out we havo no hesitation in saying that the benetiis accruing  from  Ibis\ni otTOtrhsttion must he !;real. and the influence which il must exert on the city's\ndestiny will be fob not only in the future\nbut in years to come. There is much\nwork for the Board to do. The policy of\ninaction which has too long characterized\neverything appertainingto this city must\nbe rflegated to the past; anew departure\nmust be made and we may confidently\npredict that anew em has sel in, liring-\nimjuith it the elements which go to\nmake a city enterprise and progression\n\u2014and we may hope that the material of\nwhich the Hoard is composed will not\nbe slow in taking advantage of everything\nthat is lo the advantage of Nnnaimo. Tlie\nvarious questions which from time to\ntime are constantly arising, and which\ndi reel ly und indirectly affect the city's\nInterests, will receive the attention ofthe\nlloar-1. The recommendations of a Board\nof Trade and its influence with Ihe local\nami federal parliaments is not Inconsiderable, while its voice on all questions of\nlocal import must be felt. We therefore\nlook confidently forward to the good\nwork, as far as the city's progress is concerned, which the new Board will accomplish. It is representative; ils officers\nure broad, liberal minded men, ami they\nare also practical, a consideration\nwhich must not be overlooked. They\nare, we believe, true friends of the city,\nand as such we have no hesitation in saying tbat their aims will be lout all limes\nadvance any object which has for ils aim\nNanaimo's benefit, due word more\nand we have done. There is plenty of\nwork to be done, and tbe newly constituted Board has touch todobefore il. They\nshould not allow any apathy to be shown\nin their work, and with Ihe wise and pro\ngressive course which wt feel they will\npursue, there will be u grand impetus\ngiven to the varied resources of Nanaimo\nand Ihe entire district.\nJ.H.PLEACE,\n\u2014 ltF.AI.FR   IN\u2014\nHARDWARE,    STOVES,     PAIMT8,    I0ILB\nROPE,   GLASS, RIFLES,\nCARTRIDGES, PAINT\nBRUSHES.\nTin and Sheet Ironware,\nREADY MIXED PAINTS, _\nNAILS, BUILDERS HARDWARE AM) CARPENTERS'\nTOOLS.\nTENDERS.\nSEPARATE TEN!\nceived by Ihe in\nnil     I I in   ' \" 1 ) i'ii, . i i ' '\nDERS WILL BE RE-\ntndersigned tor stands\nin the ''Green\" on the 24th May inst.\nup to 5 o'clock p. m. on Monday Ihe llllh\ninst., first, for Liquors ami Cigars; Second, for Eatables; Third, for Temperance\nDrinks, Ice Cream, Fruit and Candy.\nEach tenderer to enclose a certified\noheque for the amount of same.\nDONALD SMITH.\nniy-l-KI Hon.

At the rata of (200 a week It would\nbe over $10,000 a year, and us my Income was\nonly halt that and my lady lovs a person of\nfashion I pondered. 1 asked a young married man at tha club how much bis wife\nspent a year on her clothes. I know I put\nthe question meekly, but be howled at me to\n\"go to thunder with my impertinence,\"\nand so 1 went\u2014or, rather, I Weut to visit\nan aged female relative. She told mo\ntbat olotbaa had gotten beyond her, and said\nall she know was that ber granddaughter\ncould \"dance \u2022 1900 ball dress to ribbons in\na night\" Then I became frightened, uud so\nconsulted a nice little debutante who volunteered to post me ou clothes.\n\"Of course there is no limit to tho amount\nyou can spend on clothes,\" she began. \"It\nyou want to go to Worth and Plngat, or, in\nfact, to any of the fashionable Paris dressmakers, you will be obliged to pay a protty\nreasonable price. I havo a very nice word-\nrobs this year, and it cost papa just $3,000.\nWhsn we came noma from Europo I brought\nJust two Parts dresses, because, don't you\nknow, if you can't say, 'Borne of my things\nare Imported,' you are really nobody. One\nwas a perfect love of a ball dress, you kuow.\n1 wore It the other night, that pale yellow\ntulle, all embroidered In silver, with tbe big\nyellow sash and satin bodice. It looked very\nsimple, but it cost me $300, and tben papa\nhad lots of duty to pay ou It It was made\nfrom a special design und the design destroyed, so that It could not be duplicated.\n\"Then 1 brought over a carriage dress. 1\nhaven't worn it yet\u2014I'm waiting until the\nother girls wear theirs, then I shall come out\nIn mine. It was quite a cheap gown; only\ncost $150. It is tn four shades of fawu and\nof silk and velvet, made In one of those long\ndirectoiro rodingotes that are so much worn,\nwith a sash of crimson. It was made for tbe\nPrincess Somebody, I believe, but she would\nnot pay ber last bill, so they sold it to me for\nhalf price. You ueed not say anything\nabout that, though.\"\nBei o she paused for a moment and I asked\nbar if her dresses were as costly as those of\nthe Misses de fiatteur up tbe avenue.\n\"I should hops sol Why, those girls employ a $5 dressmakor, and do all the plain\ntewing themselves, and their father dresses\ntbe whole five of them ou $3,000 a year! I\ndo not inluk I am nt all extravagant, but I\ncould not dress on $000 a year.\"\nThan we came back to tbe subject of her\nclothes and what they cost\n\"Soma sweet Uttlo dancing gowns, one for\neach of the Delmonlco balls, only cost me $100\neach. 1 have a specially nice one for the\nPatriarchs to-morrow\u2014a white silk crepe\nlata*, with aa accordion plaited skirt all\ntucked with white satin ribbon, and a jardiniere of lilies of the valloy down one aldo\nand about the waist of the brocade, and on\nempire sash of cloth of silver.

Tho population of the city\nwas reduced to less than 5,000 civilians, who\nlived in bomb proofs frequently and who,\nbeing cut off from the world, formed a community of its own. This community for the\nmost part was formed of women and children, the men being absent in tliearmy. The\nofficers and soldiers nf tho garrison, between\ntbe general engagements, would enjoy social\nreunion with tbo citizens, and many dances\nwero given by tho young ladies for the\namusemoiit of their military admirers.\nBefore tbe circle around the city was complete thore camo into Atlanta by tbe West\nPoint roud a young lady giving her name as\nMiss Jane Moorehead, from Mobile, Ala.\nHer arrival was somewhat mysterious, as\nwell us her stay in the city. She at once\nsought occupation in tho hospitals, where sho\ncame to bo regarded as an angel of mercy.\nANC1KL Or TUB UOBPITAU\nHor beauty ls described as having been\ngreat, aud she bad many accomplishments\naud was evidently of gentle breeding. She\nwould never refer to ber past lifo, but it\ncame to bo believed that her love had died\nou one of the battlefields of Virginia, and\nthat she had simply resolved to devote her\nlifo to the alleviation of the sufferings of the\nsoldiers In the hospitals.\nLater on and nearlug tbo end of the siege a\nball was announced to take place in one of\nthe houses on Walton street Miss Moore\nbead, who never went to a place of amusement, was urged by a captain whom she bad\nmet in the hospital to go to the ball. The\nladles of her acquaintance also Joined In and\nurged her to take this recreation. She finally\nconsented. When tbe captain called for her\nbo found her in a full bridal costume, with\nvaluable and brilliant jewelry. It was the\nfirst time she had ever so appeared. At tbe\nball sho was one ot the gayest, and teemed\nso unlike the tad hospital visitant tbat it attracted general remark. At 3 In tbe morning the ball ended and tbe guest* scattered\nfor their homes.\nWhen Miss Moorehead failed to arise by 8\na. m. it did not surprise the lady wltb whom\nshe boarded, but when 10 o'olook came with\nno sign of bar the door was opened. There\nMiss Moorehead was found fully drafted as\nalio lay across the bed, her face toward the\nwaUL\nSTABBED TO THK HSAB.T.\nA call did not arouse ber, and a touch told\nthat tho was dead. Two stabs had pierced\nber heart, and were so closely made as\nscarcely to make a oraose In her drees. The\nsensation which followed was intense. Her\nfidelity to the wounded soldiers made every\none ot them feel that she was a titter. The\nfears of tbe ladles were aroused at the mysterious assassination.\nWho cculd have been her murderer, and\nwhat was his motive! The captain woo had\nbeen her escort the night before had left ber\nsafely at home, and no one thought of suspecting him at tho time. The chamber win\niluw opened upou the garden. Footstep* leading up thereto showed that II wet through\nthis window tbat the murderer made hi* way.\nTho fact that not a jewel hod been misplaced\nshowed that it could uot have been a robber\nwho bad done the deed.

The reason of this is\nthat these layers, having become saturated\nwith oil, are acted upou by the sulphuric\nacid, which decomposes the sugary or oily\nconstituent, and forms In its place a deposit\nof carbon. It Is in this way that banded\nagate is converted Into the onyx, with its\nblack and white layers, used lu the production of cameos and intaglios.\nExposure to strong sunlight was long ago\nfound to give a reddish tint to gray colored\nagates, and this suggested the burning of\nsuch stones so as to convert them Into car-\nnelians. At Oborsteln, likely stones for this\npurpose are first dried thoroughly, then saturated In sulphurlo acid and afterward exposed in an earthenware crucible to red heat\nThey are allowed to cool slowly, and are\nthen seen to be of a light red color. Not\ncontent with Imitating the rarer natural varieties of agate, suoh as onyx and carneliuu,\nGerman manufacturers have taken to staining agates blue, and all other sort* of colors\nunknown to the natural stone. Aniline dyes,\nas unnatural as thoy are fugitive, have also\nlately been used for agate staining.\u2014Jeweller's Review.\nEat Plenty o.'

In an Instant the detective fell on him.\nThe two men were assisted Into tbe car,\nand then the detective apologized for having\nfallen on him They tat down together in\nthe smoking car, tbe old fashioned detective\ntook out of bit pocket a lot of cakes and ap\npies, and tbey began to eat and talk about\nthe newa\n\"Tbat wat a bad bit of work thoso fellows\ndon* there in Boston.

He\nwill only go about eight feet; that It the\nregulation length of cells. Ho does this unconsciously, and even though he may guard\nhimself against it, beiore be knows it be will\nbegin to walk up and down.\n\"Of course,\" said tlio detective, \"no man\ngives himself up to justice\u2014no criminal tells\nthe detectivo that ho is the man.

While w alking\nalong Fair Oalcs avenue one day ho said to\nhis friend:\n\" 'There goes a man I met at La Junta,'\ngiviug the 'J' its natural sound.\n\" 'You mean I.a lluiiia,' replied his friend.\n\u2022That Is a Spanish name, aud in that language \"J\" takes the sound of \"II.\" '\n\"'Is that sol Well, 1 must try U> catch on\nto that.' After strolling along a short dis\ntoncu further he asked:\n''Where are tho caves of La Jolla. which\nI seo so much aliout in the papers!\n\" 'You should say I^i Iloya caves. They\naro about three miles this side of San Diego.'\n\" 'Darn tho language, It breaks me all up.\nThat's a pretty nice house ovor there\u2014that's\nArmijo's house, isn't it'\" And again he guvo\ntlio 'J' ils proper pronunciation.\n\" 'You mean the Armebo house, Yes, it's\na good one, too.'\n\" 'Damsieliu way of abusing tho English\nalphabet. I reckon, tlien, that must bo\nllovene's store which   I slopped at   in  Los\nAngelas? .\n\" 'No, that is not a Spanish name. I think\nIt is Fronch. However, it is pronounced as\nspelled, Jevene.'\n\" 'Well, how in Santa Fe is a fellow going\nto toll what is Spanish and what isn't? Why\ncouldn't they build their languago on the\noriginal plant1\n\" 'Oh, you'll soon catch It. You will find\nit safest to give the Spanish pronunciation to\nnearly everything here.'\n\"An hour later he sat down at the table of\ntho elegantly furnished Carlton hotel, and,\nafter scanning tho bill of faro, the stranger\nsaid to tho waiter:\n\" 'You may bring rue a uico lmicy pieco of\nroast beef, some pig's how 1 with caper sauce,\nsome fricasseed hack rabbit, some pork with\napple helly, somo boiled potatoes with currant ja\u2014I mean currant bam, and, ah,\nsome'\t\n\"At this point tho waiter swooned aud tho\nguests iu tho room let out. a roar of laughter\nthat gave tho chandeliers thochills and fever.\nTins mado the stranger mail, and ho leaped\nto his feet dike a crazy man, took off his coat\naud threw it dowu on the lloor, stamped ou\nit aud how-led:\n\" 'You fellows aro trying to play mo for a\nsucker, but, by tho eternal, you bnvo struck\ntho wrong snag. 1 am a disguised cyclone\nfrom Illlnoy and can lick tho wholo crowd.\nSpanish? I can sling moro Spanish in a holy\nmiuuto than Montezuma could in u whole\nyear. Let some idiot pull off his haekct and\nhump Into me, and the lirst timo I hit bun\nho will think hohas the himhanis.

Let some\nhiiucrow galoot como to tho front and criticise my Spanish hnrgon.'\n\"His friends got hold of him and took him\nfrom tho room, and es ho weut through the\ndoor he remarked:\n\" 'I can take a hoke, but it makes me inad\nfor a lot of backosses to play too for a\ngreeny.' \"\u2014Cleveland Leader.\nAn Accessory lo the Fart.\nClone to .lull.\nWilliam Jackson, sentenced to two\nyears in the penitentiary for larceny, was\nyesterday taken to New Westminster\njail in care of Constable Stewart. The\nprisoner was quite cheerful and seemed\nanxious to get to his destination. Probably finding that his crocodilo'tears had\nno effect on an unsympathethic public\nhe decided to brazen it out. Sympathy\nis wasted on gentry like Ihis and yet\nthere are numberless Instances of persons, principally women, making small\nheroes out of criminals who make a pretence of penitence in the dock. Tears\nare cheap.\nWill   feme   Ilia   Lot.\nThe Departure Hay road is in trouble\nas one one of the properly owners on the\nNewcastle townsite has informed tbe\nOity Council that he intends to fence his\nlot and hy doing so will enclose a part of\nthe road. Evidently the Departure Bay\nroad was laid out more with an idea of\neconomy than with any strict adherence\nto surveyor's lines.
