We need the application to our political life of the principles recognized - in our social and religious life.âCanaila Presbyterian. One thing thut strikes me us being very peculiar in the economy of this world, is the large number of peoplo who can tell tlio way to do any particular thing much better than the man who is doing it. I need only walk half a dozen blocks to iind us many men who could show Gladstone just wliere he is wrong about every question concerning the British'government. Tliere are men to be found at almost every saloon who could give Wolseley, pointers about his management of affairs in tho Soudan. As for the men who could "run" newspapers in a way vastly superior to that adopted by the editors themselves, why, tlieir name is Legion. And yet these men never seem to be able to "run" themselves. How is itl To hear them talk one would imagine that thero was nothing that they were not able to do better than the people who are doing it j but there is one thing they cannot do, and that is to prevent their hearers from classing them us donkeys of the most long-eared kind. â Toronto Truth. The New York Mail and Express publishes nearly two columns of names with a running commentary on American women who have within a few years married titled foreigners. Looking over the list, the i fact assumes a painful prominence that thore is not a single instance where a titled foreigner has married an American woman who lias had no fortune. Not a single girl has ever caught a titled foreigner unless she had .t dot running up considerably beyond u hundred thousand dol- Jm*, It is absurd to say that there is any |pvo or auy romance in such PiiarriugeSj unless it is the romance of an empty title. An interesting papor might be constructed by going â¢over this list and writing out some of the results. What l>ad these young women gained in the way of â¢actual advantages over an alliance whicli might have been made with itheu* pw.n cpuntrymen 1 In a majority ioJ fmet jihey have not obtained good husbands, fhey have exchanged ii fortune foi'Â« titlo, which, with every passing year is Jjeooining of less importance.âS. F. Bulletin. In Mr. Moody's ease, God rebukes the pride of organization. Here is "no prophet nor son of a prophet," no ordained oilicor of a visible church. If there bo such a thing as grace of orders or "apostolic succession," here they are all lacking, nnd tho finespun theoriss of our church antiquarians are blown ti) the four winds. Organization has its placo and value, but life is greater thau organization. We livo in a critical epoch. A vast amount of work for Christ and men is being carried on outside tho church organi jzations. As Mr. Moody said.it would be hetter that all such work were carried on within thein; other tilings being equal, it would thon bo mora efficient and complete. Mr. Moody and scores ol other Christian workers feel this keenly. Now it rents with the churches themselves whether this great growing work shall be done by and with them or without and apart from them. If they place more value in the form .than the power; if they cling with unreasoning tenacity to eft'ete methods and oast-iron rubrics, it will presently be tho parable of the old bottles and the new wine re-onaotod. This young, vigorous, irrepressible life will frame for itself the organizations in wliich it will work. But if our olergy and eoclesiastioal rulers are wise in time; if they realize the necessities and the opportunities of the ago in which we life; if coming down from the pinnacle of their traditions ani theories, they gladly welcome the workers, make room for new developments, cherish the new life, readjust tlieir methods and Appliances, and impart elasticity nnd mobility to tho external organisation to meet tho growing, throbbing, expanding powor, tlie life will flow on in the old channels, and gain power, efficiency and permanence through the organizations in which iit will spontaneously and freely work.âEvangelical Clmrchman.

War horses, when hit in battle, trumble in overy muscle and groan deeply, while their eyes show deep astonishment. During the battle of Waterloo, some of the horses, ai they lay upon the ground, having recovered from the first agony of their wounds, fell to eating the grass nbout them thus surrounding themselves with a circle of bare ground, the limited extent of which allowed their'weakness. Others were observed quietly grazing on tlio field between the two hostile lines, their rides having been ahot off their b^cks, and the bulls Hying above their heads and the tumult behind, before and around them, caused no interruption to the usual instinct of their nature. It wus alqo observed thnt when a charge of cavalry went past near to any of the horses already mentioned, thoy would start off, form themselves iu the rear of their mounted companions, and, though without riders, gallop strenuously nlong with the real, not stopping or flinching when the fatal shock with' the enemy took placo. At the battle of Kirk, in 1745, Major Macdonald, having unhorsed an English officer, took possession of his horse, which was very beautiful, nnd at one. inmintud it. Whon the English cavalry fled the horse ran away with its captor, notwithstanding nil his efforts W restrain him; nor did it stop until it wag at tho head of the regiment of which apparently its master wns commander. The melancholy, nnd nt the same timo ludicrous figure which Macdonald presented when he saw himself the victim of Iub ambition to possess a fine horso, which ultimate- ly cost him liis lifo upon the scaffold, mny be easily oonooivpi}; TitouuLE Bbrwino. â: The London Times, referring to a pastoral letter issued by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol to Iiia clergy snys thnt the bishop does uot regard the present quiet in the church as a sign of lusting peace. Advnntugo is being taken of the pause, his lordship observes, to push on silently ohjeotionnble practices. At the inereaie of these practices ho expresses sincere regret, "Practices are now being quietly introduced ponir pared with wliich lights aud vestments are innocence itself," and he specifies reservation of the Sacrament, celebrations of the Eucharist that are repulsive even to advanced High Churchmen, studied avoidance of the use of the New Testament in the religious teaching in the parish schools, careful exclusion of the diocesan inspector, and admissions to confirmations only on condition of regular and periodical confession. Those praotices, Bishop Elliott contends are "furtively increasing." TH. B. J. OFFBRIIAUS, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, oe29tc Kamloops, B. C. IOIIN GARROW, 91. D. PHYSICIAN AND SUUGEON.

Some of our cotemporarii's havo boen entertaining their readen with rumors pointing to the delay or probable abandonment of llio scheme for tlio extension of the Canadian Pacific Railway to Coal Harbor. Major Rogers and Mr. -Roberts, the en"ineors to whom were entrusted the work, of surveying the extension, were Inst woek ordered to tlie Selkirks, and this circumstance has been seized upon as a pretext for promulgating those disturbing minors. Wo aro in n position to say that, within tho present week, the govornment has received telegrams from Mr. Van Horne which place the matter ill a very different light. The railway company not only has no intention to reconsider its determination to carry the road to Coal Harbor, bnt the most substantial evidence has been furnished of an earnest intention to push the work to' completion' at ns early a date as possible. It does not seem to be generally remembered thut the syn- dycate by its agreement; is bound to make nn early commencement of the extension work as well as to have it. completed before the end of 188G. We make these observations in the interest of the peoplo, for the purposo of setting at rest rumors that have had a tendency to disturb public confidence. lie found many willing supporters of a law which would set nt rest the license court agitations whicli havo boon n cause of no small concern in some communities: but whether those who thus feel are in the majority or uot, we cannot say. Whatever determination the temperance peoplo may reach, and whatever result may come through the agitation, we aro sure tho minority will loyally stand by the principle that majorities should rule. In the eastern provinces prohibition victories still go on. The Scott Act has been submitted in 06 counties. Of those 55 liavo been carried by the temperance poople, and 11 by the antis. Tho total number of votes polled in theso counties was 167,863, and tho aggregate, temperance majority 35,631. The Inst county was carried bv u majority of 3,612, the largest yet obtained. Let us come to the consideration of this question with honest purpose nnd unprejudiced minds, and follow the course which points to tlio acquirement of tho greatest gootl to tho greatest number. . p STEVKSSON, Mi D, (Formerly ol New iVoalmliister-lMz-lKl.)

It must be a matter of sincere regret to all rightminded' persons that two of the magistrates constituting the license court at Mud Bay last Monday should have taken upon themselves to issue a liquor license for that place in spite of the strong public protests which were presented. Wo are especially surprised at the course which tho reeve of the municipality is said to hav pursued Hitherto we believo that gentleman has commanded tho confidence of n majority of'the people, but wo fear that his action will have ri tendency both to destroy that confidence and interfere seriously with his action. Upon general principles we cannot conceive how Mr. McDougall oould deliberately assist in establishing nt Mud Pay a traffic which ho knows will promote neither the moral nor material interests of the settlement. But apart from this phase of the question, if the statements of our correspondents are not beside lhe truth, the license was granted in complete defiance of the law. Sec. 1 of the consolidated statutes of British Columbia provides that no liquor license shall be granted in any settlement unless upon a requisition for tho granting of such license,"signed by at least two-thirds nf the residents, other than Indians or Ohinese, over 21 yenrs of ngo," of such settlement. A correspondent stntes that a majority of tho residents actually petitioned against the license. In this case the license is worthless, nnd would be rescinded ou application to the judge. From every point of view the action the license court seems to be most unfortunate and objectionable, Coming Event!>. It will be seen from an announcement in another column that a convention to consider the submission of the Scott Act in this district is to lie hold in this city on the 30th inst. Tf it is considered best to take a vote on the act, tliere ought lo be thorough preparations made to have a full and fair expression of public opinion. If. the Scott Act does not command the support of a majority of (he people, it ought not to be put into operation. In laws of this sort it is of very great importance that the public judgment should be in favor of the en aetinent. Wc observe that a bill has been presented to the house of commons amending the Scott Act so as to make it. applicable to this province. In view of this fact, and thu approaching convention, the publio need not be surprised if the Scott Act should bo canvnnsed and voted upon somo time during the presont season. It will bo well, therefore, for the peoplo to begin now to reflect upon tho provisions of the not and tho probable effeots of it upon tho district. The liquor interest in the rural parts of llio district ire, fortunntcly, not largo. Some of the largest and most important settlements hnve no saloons at "Â»Uânotahly Ohilliwhock arid Sumas, the North Arm, and Mud BÂ»y, We believe thnt there will Our Defenses. In another column will be found very important despatch from Ottawa in wliich it is stated that the British authorities intend to strengthen the defenses of Britisli Coiumbin by the addition to our Heet in these waters of four or five powerful ironclad ranis. It is nlso intimated that the Oonadinn Pacific Railway will be pushed to completion with all possible haste, so it may be available in tlie event of its being uecessary to send additional troops to this coast. When tho railway has been completed, the importance of Britisli Oolumbia in a military senso will be greatly in- crensed. Great Britain might find it exceedingly difficult to defend the Suez canal and keep it open and unobstructed in case of a great war. Even in the event of her being able to keep possession of the canal, it might bo blown up and destroyed by dynamite. If anything should happen to the Suez canal in time of war, the Canadian Pacific Railway would at once become a most important concern with the imperial government, as it would be by all odds the shortest and most expeditious route by which troops could bo despatched to the Pacific and India. For the possession of this railway, antl especially its western terminus, there might be a great struggle. Not only is it important ns the terminus of what may become a vory valuable military road, but closo to that terminus aro the finest coal fields and the finest timber on the Pucific. No nation having possession of tliese materials and advantages could afford to value them lightly; nnd now, when tho air is full of warlike rumors, it is not to be won- dered at tlint the military authorities of the empire begin to turn tlieir attention to British Columbia ami the Canadian Pacifio Railway. It is quite possible that Burrard Inlet may bo fortified. There are reserves about its entrance which havo. been held purposely for forti ficittions. Besides, the harbor of Esquimalt, and the graving dock, may need special protection also. We shall not be surprised, either, if the imperial government regards the entrance to Burrard Inlet of sullicient importance to have a permanent garrison stationed there. The place is not difficult to defend, and it need surprise no one to seo the construction of permanent works of defense undertaken there before many months. VTo shall be very glad to seo the work begun. MI'! UlOtlll! WHITE THE CLOTHIER, Hus Just Received OVER 300 MEN'S SUITS A Lnrge Quantity of Boys' and Youth's Clothing!

Dunsmuir arrived from Nanaimo on Saturday afternoon.' The str. Mermaid is. to he hauled out ou the ways and repaired. About 30 hend of cattle came down on the Btr. Reliance Monday night. Everybody must admit thnt the weathor for the last week has been extremely lovely. Tenders for supplying the Royal Columbian Hospital will bo received up to tlm 31st inst. The str. Princess Louise arrived ' from Victoria shortly after 4 o'olock on Monday afternoon. On Saturday the Mosquito issued a supplement containing some vory interesting telegraphic news. Yesterday was the 17th of Ireland. The only public recognition tif the dny was n moderate display of bunting. It is eipected that the new colls being constructed in the penitentiary hy Mr. Hayward will be completed this week. The str. Teaser nrrived from Viotorin Monday morning and proceeded to Fort Hammond. On Monday night â he left for Viotoria, Yesterday afternoon the Btr. Jas, McNanght arrived from Seattle. Capt. nnd Mrs. Dyer and their daughter were the only passengers. Speaking of the new British Columbia Directory the Victoria Times eeym "The typography is most creditable to the Columbian office." Latest intelligence from New York indicutes thnt (Jen.

There ought .to be a light placed at the excavation during tno night or thero may bo a serious accident. The collections of XJ. S. internal revenue for the first seven months of the current' fiscal year wero $05,341,000, against Â§00,902,000 in the same period lost year. It is not true that Capt. Peele wns asleep during the eclipse. The captain declares that he saw thu whole performance, and it met with his moat cordial approval. The British war vessel Satellite arrived at Port Moody on Monday nnd still remains in that harbor. The Satellite is 225 feet long, and carries 8 guns and 100 men. .It is stated on apparently good authority, that about $200,000 wore taken in uu tho Onderdonk section of tho Canadian Pacific during tho past season for froight,âTimes. Attention is called to the professional card of Dr. Stevenson which appears .in auother column. We believe Dr. Stevenson is thu only homeopathic , physician in British Coiumbin. A deficit of $200,000 hns boon discovered, in the accounts of Gen. Ben Butler ns president and treasurer of the Soldiers' National Home. The discovery lias caused a sensation. ' It is announced that the revised version of the Old Testament is now published and for sale at the book Btores. It is generally known thnt there are many important changes in this version. Some cf our ambitious equestrians entertained Columbia street lust Saturday with an exhibition of scientific horsemanship. One nt least of the horses almost exploded with merriment. A Panama dispatch says the canal commission under DoLessops occasions much anxiety to the contractors, some most important of whom have stopped work and threaten to appeal tothe tribunals. General Gordon, though hu never cared to put his wonderful experiences into print, was an indefatigable diarist, and letter-writerâone of the most impressive of that olois of writers, who overlived. The license court for this city sat on Monday. There were no applications for new licenses, and the only business done waB the transfer of the EickhoiV House license from Mrs. Sinuerbuau to Mrs. Crossman. A bill passed the provincial legislature at iti lost session extending the operations of the game laws to this district. This is a very proper stop, and we hopo tlie provisions of the law will bo rigidly enforced/ It 'waa reported on Monday that a Russian war vessel had arrived at Purt Moody, Our local military men could hardly be restrained from Russian over, to attack thp hostile craft, but it turned out to be u British man-of-war. We have received from Mr. W. C. McDougall, of Mud Bay, a communication in reply to the Semiahmoo correspondence which lately appeared in The Columbian. Mr. MeDougall's letter is too late for this issuo, but will appear on Saturday. The annual report of the Viotoria Protestant Orphan's Home shows an expenditure of $2,197 for tho year, and a balance on hand of $650. During the year there have been 20 ohildron in the home, and there were 17 at tho end of the year, There was a very successful eelipse of tho sun on Monday morning, commencing about 8 o'clock and lasting until near noon. About ten-twelfths of tho Jtun's surface was obscured by the shadow. The dny was clear nud .bright, and the phenomenon was witnessed by many citizens. Tho London (Ont.) Advertiser begins a despatch about the Iobb of the Band- head lighthouse keeper iu the following words: "Jas. H. Henry, head keeper of the lighthouse at Fraser Point, with three assistants, left Victoria, B.C., some time ago iu n boat for the station." After suoh a display of wisdom one might look for almost any announcement. A guard at the penitentiary was leaning against tho guard houso rail on Mondny morning, gazing intently at the eclipse. The rail gave way, and was followed suddenly by tho uuard into tho bottom uf thu glen, When (ho man' Appeared ngnin he could scarcely he recngnixeti through the coating of mud, nnd still continues to rail at tho insecurity of all wooden support.

The "Nicola" engine was used to do the drawing, but nt a particular place lacked power aud the broken engine got away and ran back toward tho river. Another engine was placed last Friday to assist the "Nicola" and both had full steam and apparently doing well when the connection between tho two working engines gavo way and the broken engine pulled tho "Nicola" over tho bank and both skiddadled down gradeâupsott ing and a general smash of both.

And yet in the face of all this, and in the absence of the petition signed by two-thirds of the resi dents, which the law requires, two members of tho court, Mr. McDougall and Mr. Shannon, granted the license! This action can not be regarded in any other light than that of a most iniquitous and high-handed proceeding and raises the question whether this licensing court shall be allowed to continue or whether tlie law Is to become a dead letter.

"Tiiinculo.âO' my trot hi I do now let loo.se my opinion, hold it no longer] this Is no fish, but nn islnniicr."âThe Tempest, Editor Columbian.âWill you favor mo with permission to make a fow observations, through your columns, upon n bill which has recently passed our provincial legislature, and which, 1 see exult- ingly announced, is to give Van additional representative to New Westminster." Were that all that the billânow an act âprovided for, I could scarcely see that it would demand any comment. There seems to be, iu certain quarters, a good deal of uncalled for Belt-congratulation over the prospect of this addition to the representation of New Westminster, as if thut comprised tho whole substance in the act in questiou. Unfortunately such is not the case, No; it seems that not one step could be taken towards doing justice to New Westminster dis* trict and the'mainland section of the province, in the way of representation, without basting to the measure an un- requisite and unjust) provision for an additional member for Vancouver Island. The large and comparatively populous aud wealthy distriot of New Westminster demands au additional representative; it is insisted upon that little Cow- ichan, Mr. Smitlie's constituenoy, shall have au addition to its representation also; and little Cowichan gets it, too, I can Bte no cause that anybody hu for congratulation ovor the bill. -Tilings remain as they wsrc, only that the province is to- have the felicity of providing, certainly not without expense, for two additional. members, one of whom is brought iuto the houseâit is useless to deny itâfor the whole purpose of coun teracting the other. If our lawmakers wish tb equalize our legislative representationâaa thoy certainly ought, or at least to approximate to an equalization of Itâwny not go about tlie work "man fashion," according to some recognized constitutional principle? Population Is, in all constitutionally governed countries, the Imi* upon winch parliamentary representation ia founded, subject to a few rare modification upon which I need not here dwell. If we take into consideration these two constituencies which have just suffered special manipulation, wc shall Ond that whether we deal with thom according to their respective territories, populations, trado, or the revenues derived from trade, New Westminster is entitled to, at least, Jire members to Cowichan's otic. But I suppose there is not a white man, or scarcely a child, throughout the whole province, who does not thoroughly understand what this peculiar sort of double dealing all means. Can it be that there arc men so infatuated er so obfuscated at to really believe that they can, to the end of time, evenly balanco ths power, and wealth, and influence of Vancouver Island against those of the mainland, in this province of British Columbia! It would really seem so; although nothing could bo more preposterous. Allow mo to make a fsw comparisons: We have, on the mainland, a vast territory of 310,845 square miles; on Vancouver Island, 18,000 square milos. By the census of 1881, the population of Vancouver Island amounted to 17,203; that of the mainland to 32,107, or nearly double that of the island, lt matters not what proportion, iu cither case, consisted of aboriginal Indians and Chinese, not allowod to become electors. The peoplo of those races havo Interests nevertheless, which have to bo protected by the wliite representatives of the districts to which, hi each case, they happen to belong; just as in the case of the slave papulation of tho Southern States, Srevious to tho lato war. No ouo can oubt that, since. 1881, the disproportion between the, populations of the island and the mainland lias largely increased, particularly with respect to the white iu habitantsâthe recognixed electorate. If it waB deemed expedient, oa it certainly was and is just, to rectify the representation, horo won the obvious constitutional lin-tU on which to operate. Yet tha islnnd and tlio mainland arc rostneted to nu equal number of legislative representatives; und some of these unintentionally tunny islanders obviously believo that they are going to maintain this "balanco of power" lor over and ever! We have seen that utterly impracticable polioy thoroughly tried out in another part of this Dominion. By the constitution of 1840, the two former provinces of Old Canada woro accorded ctptnl representation in the legislature of tho- consolidated province. It wss at best but anunstatesmnnlikemakeshift. At the outset, it was obviously unjust to Lower Canada. Its people, of French origin, grumbled, yet bore it. tint hih.ii Upper Canada far tiut-diataneed thut lower sectiou, in population and all its accompaniments. 'I hon commenced a long ami intensely bitter warfare between the two groat local divisions, the evil results of. which are not dissipated yet, and will not be for many years to como; and, had it not been for the fortunate union of both with the maritime prov. inces, in 18(17, the last condition of Old Canada would have been worse thau the first; and we should have seen the outrages of 1837 re-enacted with aggravated hatred. But that Old Canadian "balancing of power" was effectedâor attempted ratherâby the queen's command. . Here, certain of our Vancouver Island politicians feebly hope to main tain such a policy solely by dint of their own sweet will. They might just aa well try to dam up the Fraser. The flue blooded and conditioned roadster of the mainland cannot and will not muoh longer endure to trot quietly side by side with the donkey of the island, however ambitiously tbe latter may toss its htad and lash out with its heels. I might have remarked tbat the influence of the capital, in any legislature, is far out of proportion to the number of representatives which it has therein; aud here Is ensured a great addition to the grievance which this mainland has against Vancouver Island. That little bit of a oity of Viotoria, with its four members in the legislature, virtually rules the whole ef Britisli Columbia, and always has done so. But this, too, ia an outrage which cannot be muoh longer tolerated. If anybody supposes that the many thousands of new inhabitants who will be poured into the mainland of British Columbia within even the next four years, will submit to. carry all their metropolitan business to, and coddle up as the seat of government, a tiny spet, projected afar, between the ocean and a foreign country, the most remote that oould possibly be discovered from overy other spot in this immense province,â such a hallucination can only be accounted for through a long confinement to unmitigated insularity, the world unknowing, by tho world unknown. â Yours.

He refused, on the ground of publio policy, to make any further disclosures. Tho alleged occupation of Roeatea, one of the Society (South Pacific) Islands, by the Frenoh is denied. In 1882 the French flag was hoisted on Roeatea. Ab soon-as England heard of it she protested. France at once disavowed the action and said the flag had been raised by the naval officers without warrant, France, however, requested that the aag should be allowed tn remain until England and France should arrange the dispute about their respective rights on the island. The controversy is still in amicable progress. In regard to the CamerooijB difficulty, negotiations are atill pending between England and Germany for a frieudly settlement. The outcome of these negotiations it is impossible to foretell with exactness, but whatever it might be it would boyond all doubt include a complete provision for proper respect to all rights in the Camcroons. The negotiations for the settlement of the Camcroons dispute embraced a general scheme for the adjustment of all questions in dispute between England and Germany in regard to their respective colonial claims iu the entire region of Africa and the South Pacifio upon a basis of mutual concessions. Korti, Mar. 10.âThe British troops retiring to Korti were harassed between Gakdul and Hambok by marauding followers of the Mahdi who were armed with rifles. Several British soldiers were wounded. London, Mar. 10.âIn the commons this eveniug the government announced a telegram from St. Petersburg fully confirming Gladstone's view of the Anglo-Russian arrangement of the Rutso-Afghan frontier. Denver, Mar. 16.âA dispatch from .-ringer, New Mevico, says: A desperate encounter between officers and outlaws occurred here to-day; Last Sunday a noted desperado named Bill Todd was arrested here and lodged in jail. He immediately telegraphed the fact of his arrest to Dick Rogers, leader of one of thb most desperate gangs of outlaws in the whole south-west. This morning Rogers appeared with a number of followers and went to the county jail where Todd was confined, and attempted his rescue. The officers opened fire from within, to whioh the outlaws replied. A desperate battle ensued. The attacking party finally withdrew leaving three of thoir party dead in the street. The remainder of the party hastily left town and sum* moned reinforcements. They are hourly expected to reappear. Tno greatest excitement prevails. The citizens of Springer have appealed lor protection to the district commander, who promptly ordered the troops stationed at Fort Union to move quickly to the scene of action. Santa Fb, Mar. 16.âThe latest from Springer is to the effect that 50 men are surrounding the jail determined to mob the officers, who have taken refuge inside. The soldiers from Fort Union who are momentarily expected may prevent further trouble. Company H., second regiment territorial militia of Santa Fo, is in readiness to move at a moment's notice. New York, Mar. 17.âReliable advices state that tho revolution at Panama has onded. Denver, Mar. 17.âThe situation at Springer is unchanged since midnight. Large numbers of cowboys still remain in town, some of whom are very defiant. The troops will remain until order has been fully restored. Canadian Troops.âGeneral MacJ dougall writes, ".o the London Times strongly opposing the employment of Turkish troops to aid in crushing the Mahdi, and suggesting that the offer of the Canadians should rather be accepted. This is What the general thinks of the Canadian militia: "I commanded the Canadian militia during tho Fenian troublea of 1860 and 1807, when I saw battalions, after only a few days of camp training, almost. rivalling in smartness, steadiness and" discipline the regular troops with whom they were brigaded. X trust, after the good service Canadians have already done on the Nile, that Colonel Wil- Hams' battalion will not be relegated to garrison duty, but may be permitted to take part in tho dangers and glories of their English comrades in the field, os would be Iheir own wish aud the wish of Canadians generally."

Â«Â»â Wellington Before the Peninsular War.âHe (the Duke) seemed to lapse in a kind of reverie, and remain od silent so long that I asked him what he was thinktng of? He replied, 'Why, to saytho truth, I am thinking of the French that I am going to fight. I hnve not seen them since the campaign in Flanders, when they were capital soldiers, and a dozen years of victory under Bonaparte must have made them better still. They have besides, it seenm, a new system of strategy, which has out-manoeuverod and overwhelmed all the armies of Europe. 'Tis enough to make oue thoughtful; but, no matter; my die is east; they may overwhelm me, but I don't think they will out-manamver me. First, because I am not afraid of them, as everybody else seems to be; and, secondly, because, if what I hear of their system of maneuvers be true, I think it is a false one as against steady troops. I suspect all the continental armies were more than beaten before the battle began. I, at least, will not be frightened beforehand."â Tite Crofter Papers, Jennings, The Question of the Dav.â"What is good for a Cold **!" is a question often asked, but seldom satisfactory answered.

As if sho did not'know 1 Sho hnd been rather glad of all tho delays and longueurs of tho tale, aud inarched along through it, glad to mako them out of breath, almost hoping to bo at hor uwn door before the crisis; but in this who did uot succeed. Sbo did not look ut them, oven, but kept iier eyes upon the path with steady indifforenco. "Dear Catherine!âbut you won't blame him, poor young fellow! It was your own Edward, that dear boyâ" Prepared as she was, the name gavo her a shncl:, as perhaps Miss Matilda, still holding her elbow, folt; but if so, it was only for a moment. "Edward!" she said, with n laugh, "You menu Hairy, I suppose! Edwnrd was nt lioino, and busy, occupying himsolf in a very different sort of way." At this the sisters interchanged glaueos again and shook their heads in unison. "Ah, Catherine, thnt is just how you are deceived. Wo know Hurry Vernon's voico very well. It was Edward." Catherine turned upon them with a countenance perfectly cloudless, n laugh upon hev lips. "When I toH'you," she snid, "that, he wus in my own hi'tiau! ho could nut, I think, hu in two places at uncoâmy house, his houseâIt is nil tho siiin'o. He wns ut homo- " she added, after a moment, in a deeper tone, "and with me." "Oh! with you!" Tho sisters broke off with sudden fright, uot venturing to persevere. So sudden a check quenched Miss Matilda's lively geni us altogether. It was her sister, tho practical member, who added, with a spasmodic gasp, "Oh, of course, Catherine, if ho wus with youâ" "Yes, of course ho was with me; he is only too attentive. I could wish lie look ti little more amusement. So yuur line story is nt an end, you see. If it hnd boon uny ono else, I might havu thought it my duty to inquire into it; hut, as I can prove it not to be Edwardânot that I nee much harm iu it, if it had boon Edwnrd,'' she added, turning upon the accusers again. "I am not feud of Hestor Vornon, but she is his cousin nil tho same." "Oh, no harm! oh, I never thought so,'; cried tlie gossips, alarmed and faltering. "It was only justâit wns merelyâit frightened ub, thinking that dear Catherine must be ill, or something happenedâ" "Dn you think, then, that your dour Catherine, if shu were ill, would send for Hester Vornon?- as hor prime favorite, I suppose, and tho one that loved hor best among all those who -" Catherine paused; the native magnanimity in her, boncatli all the pettiness whioh hur laughing cynicism hud taught her, would not insult even thoso heartless women by n reminder, in so many words, of tlieir dependence. It cost hoc nil hqr strength to stand, up erect before them, and put off their assault. They had gut ut her heart, hut they should nevor know it. She st"'nl niiiplo and serene botween the two slim, shabby figures, and smiled defiance. Nevor wero talebearers more completely discouiluted. Thoy turned upun eaoh uther with mutual reproaches iu tliu confusion of the moment, "Yuu need not have made such n fuss, Matilda." "I told yuu, lUghtU'p to be su conti (CflOtitlUdll.l It wns at this moment that a shuttling light stop became audible, hurrying along the road, and a voice calling "Catherineâis it roally Catherine?' followed by another step and another voice, with a fainter sound in the repetition, but also calling upon "Cathorine!" Catherine Vernon paused and looked round, her faco losing its gravity and brightening into its usual humorous look of half-contemptuous toleration, "It is Catherine!" cried Miss Ver- iitiii-Ridgwny; "I told you su. Dear Catherine, isn't this lung walk too much- fur you, und un such a cold day? Take my arm â please take my arm; or wull't yuu come bnck to our little house and rest, and we'll send fur tho carriage? It is a long walk for us, who nre not used to luxury, and what must it be to you?" It wns true that tho Mias'Vuniun- Hid ways were under fifty; nnd Catherine Vernon wns sixty-live; but sho was far more vigorous than thoy wero, und more capable of exercise. Sho turned luund upuu them, smiling, but kept her arms closo by hev Hide, and refused nuy support. "I assure you," she said, "I um quite capable uf walking. You know I havo always been accustomed tu exercise." , "Ah, yos," wild the sisters, "you woro brought up sensibly, dear Catherine, not spoiled darlings, us we were. We never quite gut over it, though we shuuld have known belter long ago, if experience was all; rip one cau toll how wo miss our carriage; and when we soe you un foot, who can cummnnd evory ease, it quite wounds ouv feelings," suid Miss Martha, coining in at the end in a Utile provocation by herself. "It is very kind uf you; but it does uut at nll hurt my feelings; Tins is n lino day for a walk, und 1 hope yuu nro enjoying yours, us I du," said Catherine, with hor laughing louk.- They both Bhook their heads.

"I was visiting my old uncle, which iB a, duty I never like tu neglect." v "Oh!" said one sister, and "Ah!" snid the other, Then they cried eagerly, each to each, "I knew it was a vilo story. Of course, we have been misinformed." "What was there tn be misinformed uhoutr said Catherine;- then, as she luuked frum uno tu another, u sensation of coming trouble shot across her.
