And he\nshould be allowed to rise in the\nmorning as soon as he wakes. It\nis not only torture but an unhealthy\nmischief to compel children to lie in\nbed awake two hours to prevent disturbing older people. The morning\nsun is most essential to plant lifo.\nA conservatory should always, if\npossible, be on the east side- of a\nhouse. It is equally true that\nthe morning sun is most valuable\nfor animal vigor, arid that includes\nhuman beings. We, all of us, are\nbrcoking both ends of the law.\nOur sleep should be taken earlier,\nand wo should never fail of getting\nthe rooming sun. I abominate\nnight parties for children. I be\nlieve every physician does, lt is\nnot so much the exposure and the\nrating in the night, and the bud associations formed (of a high-toned\nsort, possibly), but the breaking inlo the sleep habit. Equally bad is\nit for children to study in the even-\nin*. It gorges their brains with\nblood, and if they sleep they dream.\nI had n little patient of 12 years,\nwho wns wasted and nervous, and\nwhose dreams woro filled with h'S\nproblems. It was a marvel and\npride to his pruents that tho young\nster worked out hard proulcms in\nhis slr-ep, such ns hu failed to master\nwhen awake, r'.ut he came near\nhis tinnl problem, I locked up his\nbooks at 1 o'clock. He must not\ntouch one after supper. He must\nplay and romp, and then go to bed.\nHe is now robust.

Peele.\nH.-rrlb era Walevlee We.eraa.\nWe aro called upon to-day to announce the death of Mr. Joseph West-\nwood, of Rookhall Farm, East Wei-\nlington, a veteran of Waterloo, who\ndiod on Sunday morning at hia resilience. Tho deceased gentleman wu\nborn in Stourbridge, Worcestershire,\nEngland, on June 10th, 1792, ana\nwhen quito young entered one of the\nBritish regimenii as drummer. With\nthis regiment he took part in the glorious battle of Waterloo, in whioh the\nfamous Duke of Wellington lr?a the\nBrit sh army to fame and glory,' and\nrouted the French army under the '\nleadership of the great Napoleon.\nAfter leaving the army ho worked at\nhis trade- blacksmith \u00E2\u0080\u0094in England\nuntil I80O, when he went to the United\nStates, and finally oame to Nanaimo\nand entered the employ of the Vancouver Coal Company as blacksmith.\nShortly afterwards ho took up the\nland in the Millstresm Valley, now\nknown as tho East Wellington Colliery,\nwhich he sold to Mr. R. D. Chandler,\nof San Francisco, a few years ago, for\nover $100,000. The deceased was a\nremarkably healthy and strong man,\nand was able to get about until about\nnine days before his death, when he\nwas confined to his room, but not to\nhis bed. He passed quietly away on\nSunday morning, surrounded by hit\ndunghtcr-in-law and grand children.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\niVfliiaimo Free Press.\nHard and soft coins oannot withstand\nHolloway's Corn Cure 1 it ia effectual\nevery time, Get a bottle at onoe and be\nhappy. guilU \u00C2\u00A7 ritish Columbian\nIiiilay Erralir. ttb. 3, ISSS.\nHow (o Mark a Ballol-\nTomorrow the electors of St.\nAndrew's ward will have the opportunity of electing two persons to\nrepresent them in the city council.\nThe last election in this ward was\nconducted with such unaccountable\ncarelessness on the part of the\ndeputy retiirning-oflioer that it was\nimpossible to tell who had obtained\na majority of legal votes. It was\nalso discovered that some of tho\nvoters seemed to hnve very imperfect notions witii respect to the proper way to mark a ballot. This has\narisen partly from the fact that in\ndifferent countries different methods\nare pursued. Below we present a\nsample form of ballot paper, which\nwill show clearly how ti ballot\nshould be marked:\nSt. Andrew's Ward.\n1\nJONF.8,\n2 '\nROIIEKTSO.V.\n3\nSmith.\nX\nOn the ballot paper as above represented the cross opposite Smith's\nname means that the person who\nmarked it wished to vote for Smith.\nThe only mark provided by law is a\ncross, as shown. A straight line\nwill not answer. Moreover, the\nmark must be at the right-hand side\nof the name, and in the space on the\nright side of the perpendicular line,\nas shown iu the diagram. There\nmust be no mark on tlie name, and\nno other mark whatever on any port\nof the ballot, or it may be rejected\nby the returning offioer. The ballot paper on Saturday will contain\nthree names: Henry Hoy, Thos.\nOvens and John Reid. Any voter\nmay vote for two of these, by making a cross opposite the names of\nthe two for whom he wishes to vote\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094but if he votes for more than two,\nhis ballot will be spoiled. It is not\nnecessary, however, to vote for moro\nthan one. Voting for only one\ncandidate is known as \"plumping,\"\nand this practice has become quite\ncommon. We do not know that\nany objection enn be made against\nit. We hope thit on Saturday\nevery elector will feel it his duty to\nvote, and to vote for the right man.\nThe River Front.\nDuring the past weeks a considerable quantity of earth, and some\nsmall trees and rooks, have been\nsliding down from the river bank\non to the front road, and men have\nhad to be employed clearing it away.\nThe same thing occurred lasts pring,\nand it will keep on recurring every\nyear until some plan is brought into\noperation to protect the front of the\nhill. These slides have resulted\nfrom tke cuttings made by the railway oompany when the road was\nbeing built. While the bank was\ncovered with grass and sod, it remained firm; but as soon as tho top\nhad been removed, the concrete was\nexposed to the frosts of winter under whose influence it was brought\ninto a condition which made it\ncrumble easily as soon as the frost\ndisappeared. No one acquainted\nwith the character of the soil expected anything else. The railway\ncontractors took no pains to slope\nthe bank or protect it against the\naotion of frost. We think the city\noouncil ought to considor well and\nwithout delay some plan that will\nprevent any further sliding of tho\nbank, In many places the distance\nbetween Columbia st. and tho front\nroad along the river is very small;\nand if no protective measures are\nemployed it will very soon happen\nthat Columbia st. will begin to go\ndown the hill. The large maple\ntree and the breastworks opposite\nAlbert Crescent are on tho very\nverge of a precipice, and may go\ndown on to the railway track or into the river any time. This would\nbo o serious misfortune, for the tree\nis a very decided ornament, and\nthese breastworks, rude though they\nmay be, are the city's only defence\nagainst the hostile guns of an enemy.\nThe work of putting the river bank\nin a safe condition will cost a considerable sum of money; and as the\ntrouble hu arisen wholly through\nthe excavations made by the railway company, that company should\nundoubtedly pay the cost. It is a\nquestion whether the hill ought to\nba evonly sloped and covered with\ngrass and aod, or protected at the\nbottom by crib work. If crib work\n. il und, it will have to be very\nstrong, er the frost will push it out\n'y'Sf plaoe and destroy the whole\nscheme. We believe that if the\nbank wai sloped and the surfuco\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0own with gran in the early spring,\nk Md would soon be formed sufficient\nto prevent the earth from sliding.\nThii would also add very greatly to\nthe appearance of the hank, which\nii now in many places anything but\nattractive. All Indian houses\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2hould alio be removed and the\nplace kept free from obstruction.\nWe hop*j:our new council will take\nthii matter in hand without delay\nand devise such a scheme ib will\npermanently remove., the serious\ndanger now threatening the front of\nthe city. There ihould be no time\nloat either.\nConstipation\nIi a universal and most troublesome disorder. It causes Headache, Mental Depression, impairs the Sight and Hearing,,\ndestroys the Appetite, and, when long\ncontinued, causes Enlargement of the\nLiver, Inflammation of the Bowels, snd\nPiles. Constipation is speedily cured\nby Ayer's Pills.\nFor a number of months I was\ntroubled with CosMveiiuss, in conse-\nquerice of which I suffered from Loss of\nAppetite, Dyspepsia, and a disordered\nliver. My eyes also troubled me. I was\ncompelled to wear a shade over them,\nand, at times, was unable to bear exposure to the light. I was entirely\nCURED BY USING\nthree boxes of Ayor's Pills. I hare no\nhesitation in pronouncing this medicino\nto be the best cathartic ever made. \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nJames Eccles, Poland, Ohio.\nI suffered from Constipation, and, con*i\nacquently, from Headache, Indigestion,\nand PilcB, for years. Avor's Pills, which\nI took at tho suggestion of a friend, have\ngiven me effectual relief.

Sho\ncleared on the return trip this morning with a large numbor of passengers\nand 45 tons of freight. The Yosemite\nleft Victoria yesterday morning at 5:45\no'clock iu hopes of making the river\nbofore the log got very thick. On arriving off the mouth of the river the\nweather was so dirty that in the absence of the buoys it wns impossible to\nmuke the entrance, nnd the steamer\nwas obliged to lay outsido until the fog\nrose. At ihe c-**d of fivo hours the\nweather cleared sufficiently to allow\nthe steamor to resume her trip, and\nshe arrived in this city about 7 o'clock.\nWhen tho Yosemite passed the s. s.\nMexico yesterday morning the latter\nwas still high on the rocks bolow\nPlumper's Pass and no apparent signs\nof being relieved from her perilous\nposition.

The slide wo announced\nhist week waa the cause of the detention. One of tho passengers, iu describing it, said it was a formidable\naffair, being over 400 feet in length,\nand in some places 40 feet deep. He\nthought tho company deserved much\ncredit for clearing it awny iu such a\nshort time. The line is now reported\neloar and iu good oamlition.\nTMoMriiHun.'-ad-rt.\nJust before noon on Saturday, Mr.\nMichael Boyle, n coal trimmer ut Departure Bay, went on board n small\nBchooner moored to the new wlinrf, to\nwnh'u up two of hiB fellow trimmers,\nwho lived on tho bout in question. Ho\nfound the cabin hatch closed tight, and\nopening it, went down to call tlio men,\nbut getting no answer, he shook them,\nonly to find that they hnd entered a\nBleep from which he could nut arouso\nthem.

Justice McOroIght.\niu thia caso the petitioner claimed\nthat the election should be declared\nvoid on the following grounds: That\ntho returning officer acted also ns re-\nUming officer at the election of chief\non) inoer aud nisistant engineer; thut\nho omitted to plr.uo his initials on\nthree ballot papers cast for tho petitioner; that no proper compartment\nwas provided for beeretly marking the\nballots) that tho ballot papers and\ncounterfoils were not properly sealtd\nup and kept by tho reluming officer\ni i h's posseHsioni that one of the ballot pa pen cant at thu oleotion wns not\nre'urned by him. and was wisslngj\nthat tho voters' list used was not a\ncopy of that finally revise:', and was\nimproperly made up, because the as-\nsesame\u00C2\u00BBt roll was not duly returned;\nthat votes of persons voting in respect\nof trades' licences, but not qualified by\nresidence within the ward, or not being\nBritish subjects, woro improperly ro-\nc-'ived. uud that none ol the person!\nre urned ns elected were qualified tobe\nelected, and none received a majority\nof votes, The petitioner objected to\ntbe following votes; Shadwell, not\nresident of ward; Diobel,Tietjen, Vianen and Beuter, not British subjects;\nCrake, license not paid for three months\nbefore election; Rankin, name ndded\nto liBt on dny of election. No evidence\nwas offered as to the alleged mis;.ing\nballot, nor that any of the respondents\nwere disqualified, nnd it appeared that\ntho objection to Vianen's voto was\nmade by mistake,, he having become\nnaturalized many years ngo.\nHia lordship held the objections going to nil tho validity of tho oleotion\nwero not well taken or not sustained\nupon the evidence, and in any case as\nnone of them were shown or even suggested to have affected the roault of\nthe election it could not be voided because of them.\nThe caso thon turned upon tho\nscrutiny of tho votes. Those objected\nto by counsel for Elliott wero W. A.\nPurdy, not bolder of license and not\nresident of the municipality for n yenr;\nA. G. Matthews and Peebles, nut\nholders of a license; Hockley, not\nholder of license nud not currying on\nbusiness; E. Rand, license not paid\nfor three montha before election; Oglo\nand Campbell; not holders of license\nand lirm's license not sufficient to qualify: Thomas Cunningham, not voted,\nthough ballot was cast for him. This\nlatter mist.iko has already been explained in our columns.\nHis lordship held upon tho authority\nof numerous decided eases that\ntho ques\" ion ss to residence\nmust bo determined with reference to the object of (ho act. To\ngive effect to its intention sometimes\ntho word means whero a person\nsleeps, but tho authorities showed\nclearly that often tho word was used\nwith regard to hia place of business.\nIn this c;ise tho license was granted\nfor the carrying on of business\nwithiu the ward where it had boen\noiereUed fur nearly two years,\nand whero his interest as a voter\nin that reapect must bo supposed telle. The reasonable construction, his lordship thought, was therefore to hold the residence sufficient,\npointing out that upon a different construction all persons living out of the\ncity limits but carrying on business\nwithin it, might be disfranchised no\nmatter what the exte.it uf their business or interests in tho city might bo.\nAs the act provides that tho license\nmust be pnid for tho period of three\nmonths nost preceding the day of election, ins lordship held that persons\nwho hud paid within that period were\nimt qualified, his lordship sustaining\nMr. McColl's objection on this point\nas mentioned by us in our issue of yesterday. It was also held I hat the voter\nmust bo a license holder nt tho time of\ntho election, which commences upon\nthe day of nomination, and thnt licenses expiring at the ond of last year\ndid not qualify. The counsel for\npefiiioner, iu defending votes for him,\nraised tlio quoation whether householders paying a rentul of $40 were\nnot entitled to vote under the net of\n1885. This view was opposed by\ncounsel for respondents, aa also afterwards by couubbI fur petitioner. After sumo discuRsion evidence wasttken\noa b .i!i sides upon tlio point,nnd nfter-\nwards his lordship held that such\nhousehold era wero, by the act reforred\nto, qualified to voto ami could not be\ndisqualified by llie omission of the\ncounoil io assess tliem or place them\non the li t.\nIn deciding the qunaiions raised by\n! the petitioner,'and ftiiBwen, hia lord-\n, ship pointed out that all parties had\n: proceeded upon tho assumption that\n1 the voters list was not conclu-ive,\n; evidence having been given aunitiBttho\nquulilloutinn of many of tlio voters for\nI r. *..-**it every ground that could bosu*/-\nI gcatedj and it had not even been BUg-\n! girted that tho list was liiul.
