Pbxscott, Ariz., Mar. 14.âDan Burke, who was sent to warn the settlers along Wossayampa river of the danger of tho breaking of the Walnut Grove dam, has been discharged. Instead of doing as directed and thereby saving fifty or sixty lives, Burke became beastly intoxicated and made no attempt to perform his mission. He was arrested by Sheriff O'Neill shortly afterwards, on charge of manslaughter, while trying to leavo the country, but has now been released on the ground that there is no provision in the laws of Arizona under which he can be punished, although tbe entire responsibility for the loss of over 60 lives can be laid directly to him. Immediately on being released from custody Burke celebrated the event by drinking and carousing. Public indignation against him Ib very strong here. Sailor. Wanted.

Four of the passengers were hurt and all received a shaking up. A Wonderful Mirage. Ashland, Peun., Mar. 14.âA remarkable instance of mirage was witnessed here yesterday about four o'clock in the afternoon. It presented the picture of a clear and well defined city, full sized, though, of course, inverted. It appeared like a large city suspended in tlie air or falling through it as the ground on which it stood was not reflected. The church steeples and walls of'houses were slightly inclined. The phenomena seemed to be only a few hundred yards above the earth, and was visible for nearly three-quarters of an hour. It was clear aud calm with a cloudless sky and many spectators claimed that the city reflected was Mansfield, 80 miles distant;others that it was Sandusky, 06 miles away. Each party professed to recognize buildings in those places. Great Kaln Fall. New Orleans, Mar. 14.âRain has fallen now 64 hours along the river, the total fall exceeding five inches. The river here has risen one and a half inches in the past 24 hours.

The Italian who brought the news to the customs bouse stated that the bodies were in a good state of preservation when he found them at first, but a â ghastly sight met the vision of tho posse on I heir arrival. The lies!) had been entirely eaten from tbe bodies, and nothing btit their skeletons remained. The head of ono wasall that there waa In sight, tho balance of the remains having been dragged off by coyotes. Not a vestige of anything remained by which they could bo identi- The Sugar Market. New Yobk, March 14 Willott & Gray's sugar circular says quotations aro slightly easier on account of purchases during the week in producing countries, particularly of the best sugar. The present situation is favorable for fair profits in refining, and less is heard from competition of refiners. Licht's estimate of the local crop is now 866,000 tons, against 2,786,444 tons last season. He estimates an increased cultivation for tho noxt crop in all countries as the result of the Inst campaign has been satisfactory to producers. There remained for export on Feb. 1st in Germany nnd Austria 836,000 tons, against 440,000 tons at same time last yoar. This groat increase would lie considered serious wore it not for the rapid Increase of consumption in Eurono nnd America, and the fact that surplus stocks are hold In the best countries alone. Tho prospects for Loulsianu crop are as good as in March, 1887, which was au exceptionally good year. The Mexican, frotest.

The Women's Humane Society intend to present to the Ottawa City Council an ambulance waggon. They will ask thein to accept it and keep it in repair. The society considers this step necessary from the fact that accidents occur frequently, especially in the-mills and factories at the Chaudiere, and on the variouB railways centering in the city; and that it is desirable that the rreatest care Bhould be extended to injured personB, whose lives very often depend upon careful conveyance to their homes or to the hospitals. The ambulance which the society proposes to provide will be tbe same as that used by the Toronto police force and will cost $060. The London Gazelle announces that the Queen has been pleased to grant her royal license and authority that Lieut. W. G. Stairs, R.

PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT. [From Our Own Correspondent.1 Wednesday** Proceeding! Concluded. Mr. Duck moved the second rending of the University Bill. He hoped the day was not far distant when the Government could see its way clear to contribute something towards tho maintenance of a Provincial University. British Columbia was the only province in the broad Dominion of Canada that had not one or moro universities. Even the youngest province of all. Manitoba, had a flourishing university. The principal question, of course, was that of maintaining the institution once it was begun, and the university of British Columbia would have to be supported by personal endowments just us other institutions of a like nature olsewhere. There are many wealthy people in this province and if tbey could arrango that at their death a part of their wealth should go to maintain tbe university a great difficulty would be overcome. We have no people in the province rich enough of themselves to endow an institution of this character. Our millionaires are scarce and it is only once in a long while that a rich man is philanthropic enough to bequeath his treasures for such a purpose. The free schools aro very good in their way find cover a certain amount of the ground, but if British Columbia desires to keep pace with the world's onward march of progress she must have a university. We have many young men and women here who desire a university education and they must go to other lands to obtain that higher education and in this way their affection for their native province became alienated. This bill is for the purpose of founding an institution where our sons and daughters may receive the great benefits of the highest education right at home; The university would be conducted on a purely non-sectarian and secular basis where no religious dogma would be allowed to warn and interfere with tho inculcation of tlie truth and of knowledge, imparted on the most approved principles of science and modern ideas of education.

By Mr. GrantâTo move the House in- . to committee upon the following resolutions: That it Ib desirable to amend the Municipal Act so as to impose a license upon Express Companies, Gas Companies, Telephone Companies, Electric Light Companies, Street Railway Companies, Investment and Loan Companies, fur dealers or fur traders or their agents. By Mr. GrantâOn the further report of the Municipal Act to insert the following new sections: ' (1.) If on account of a sum being on hand from a previous year or yeara, or from tho investment from the sinking fund or on account of the increased value of property liable to assessment it is found to be unnecessary to levy the full rate imposed by the by-law in order to raise the instalment of the sinking fund and interest required to be raised for any year, or to raise such instalments for any future years of the then unexpired timo which the debentures have to run, the Council may pass a by-law reducing the rate for such year or for any such future years so that no more money may be collected than the amount required. No such by-law shall be passed unless, having regard to the time the debentures have to run, a proper Kroportion of sinking fund and interest as been levied according to the intention of the original by-law. (21.) No by-law passed under the preceding section shall be valid unless after it is passed it is approved by the Lieut- euaut-Governor-iu-Council, and the facts which authorize the passing of such by-law shall on its submission for approval be verified by the solemn declaration of the head of the council and by the treasurer and clerk thereof, in case of the death or absence of such officer upon the declaration of any other member of the council whose declaration the Lieutenant-Governor may accept. (3.) In any case of passing a by-law for contracting a dent by borrowing money for any purpose the Municipal Council may in Its discretion make the principal of the debt payable by annual instalments during the currency of the period within which the debt is to bo discharged: such instalments to be of such amounts that the aggregate amount payable for principal ana interest in any year shall be equal, as nearly as may be. to what is payable for principal aud interest during each of the other years of such period; and may issue the debentures of tho Municipal Corporation for tho amounts payable at the times corresponding with such instalments together with interest annually or semiannually as may be set forth provided in the by-law. (4.) The by-law shall set forth a certain specific sum to be raised in each year during the currency of the debt, which annual sum shall be sufficient to discharge the several instalments of principal and Interest accruing due on such debt, as the said instalments and Interest become respectively payable according to the terms of the oy-law, and in cases within this section it shall not be necessary that any previous provision be made for a sinking fund.

On Wednesday Mr. Cunningham introduced his bill. " An Act for the En- " couragement of Agriculture ondHorti- " culture," into the Local House. Tho Timet will note that it doesn't say a word about " water," as that journal iu a would-be facetious but drearily aqueous article attempted to anticipate the other day. Tbe principal object of the bill is the incorporation of a society having for its object the general advancement of the interests of fruit growing and horticulture throughout tbe Province. Section three provides that the Lieutenant- Governor-in-Council may, by letters patent under the great seal, grant a charter of incorporation to any number of persons not less than iifty who shall petition therefor, constituting such persons, ond others who may become subscribers, a body corporate to be called the " Horticultural Society and Fruit " Growers'Association of the Province " of British Columbia." It is further provided that no such letters patent shall issue until the fifty petitioners have deposited with the Minister of Agriculture a declaration iu which each of the petitioners shall agree to contribute yearly towards the society a sum of not less than two dollars. The society shall have the power of making by-laws, not lieiug contrary to the laws of the Province or to the Act incorporating it, for its own regulation and for the affiliation of other societies of a similar character, and shall hold an annual meeting in the month of January (besides other meetings that may be provided for by its by- laws), at which the officers, to consist of a president, vice-president, Becretary- treasurer, and at least seven directors, shall be elected. It shall he within the power of the society to hold, at such times and places as may be decided upon at its annual or special general meetings, exhibitions for the display of fruits, flowers and vegetables, for which prizes, etc., may be given; to purchase seeds, plants and trees for distribution amongst tbe members, for the purpose of experimenting and the introduction and cultivation of new kinds nnd varieties; to purchase and hold lands (with power to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of tbe same), and erect thereon buildings, and obtain all necessary equipments therefor, for the purpose solely of experiment or instruction iu the methods of horticulture, or holding exhibitions, or the establishment of n museum of specimens pertaining to the study of horticulture, to establish and conduct a bureau for the collection nnd dissemination of information bearing on tbe science of horticulture, or a department or departments of natural history having special objects iu view for tho promotion of the said science, and to do all these and any other things not enumerated, within the scope of the Act and the laws of the Province, that may be be decided upon by the society nt its regular meetings. Full annual reports, embracing reports of the results of all doings and enterprises of the society, are provided to be submitted by the secretary, a faithful and correct copy of which shall be transmitted to the Provincial Secretary on or before the fifteenth day of January in each year. A clause in the bill further provides that the Minister of Agriculture may at any time, nnd from time to time, nppoint any person or persons to inspect the books nnd accounts of any agricultural or horticultural society in the Province receiving Government aid, and that all officers of any such society, whenever required so to do, shall submit such books aud accounts to such inspection, and truly and to the best of their know ledge answer all questions put to them by such person in relation thereto or to the funds of the society. Mr. Cunningham's bill for the encouragement of agriculture aud horticulture appears to be a carefully prepared and exhaustive measure and is certainly well fitted, as it is calculated, to further the two great aud important interests that Mr. Cunningham, both by training and experience, is peculiarly qualified to advance. The bill substantially as submitted should receive the unanimous support of the Houso, and, after its passage, we have no doubt that Mr. Cunningham's next move will be to obtain reasonable Government assistance for tbe society to be formed under the Act, in which ho should, and doubtless will, be equally successful. HUXLEY ON HENRY GEORGE. Ma. Hvxi.ky. according to nn exchange, has boon reading Henry George'B ''Progress aud Poverty" lately, but has evidently not been convinced by its reasonings. While conceding its admirable style and the ability with which it is written, he cannot accept cither its propositions or its conclusions, though he does not call in question the honesty of the author's purpose or the intensity of his conviction that ho has discovered the panacea for all the ills that tho modern state is heir to. Mr, Huxley finds what he conceives to be the radical error iu Mr, George's book, nnd the political system which it advocates in the confounding with ono another two things that are entirely dissimilar, that is to say, in the confounding assumed natural rights with those moral rights which form the basis of all practical politics. Following Rouosnay and the physiocratio school, of which he waa the founder, Mr. Huxley defines natural right as "tho right of a man to " do anything necessary for his own 41 preservation and to possess himself of "anymeans of enjoyment." This,of course, he shares not only with all his fellows, but with every one of the inferior animals, and it must vest in the individual before he has entered into tlie social state, and must, therefore, be antecedent to all forms of relative justice and injustice. It is pos- to its full and literal extent by every and any wholly isolated man; but the contemporaneous and contiguous existence of many individuals who assert and maintain this right must necessarily constitute a state of war in which each is against all. This doctrine, carried out to its logical conclusion, seems to give to each individual man the right not only to slay the inferior animals when they can in this way be made to contribute to his welfare and enjoyment, but to enslave or destroy hiB fellowman, when by bo doing hiB own individual interests can be advanced by so doing. On this principle every individual man has not only a natural right to the earth hut to all tbe products of the earth, not excluding man himself. He has, in fact, a right of property in everything and everybody bo far as he has the power to subordinate that thing or that person to his own interests. And, of course, every one who objectB to being enslaved, or robbed, or killed and eaten by this individual is guilty of invading his natural rights, though lie is at the same time unquestionably acting within his own. Thus does it appear that the natural rights of man and man, as well as of man and tbe inferior animals are diametrically opposed to one another. They are rights to which no correlative duties belongârights of which the exercise may be impeded or prevented without the perpetration of wrong. ThiB doctrine of "natural rights"âthat is to Bay, individualism pure and simpleâ as Mr. Huxley points out, "if carried '' out logically, is merely reasoned sav- " agery, utter and unmitigated selfish- " ness incompatible with social exist- " ence." It follows that if thiB view of natural laws and rights be correct, they not only do not afford any basis for anything in the nature of a polity, but they are radically inconsistent with the very existence of anything of the sort. The moment that human beings enter into combinations and become the subject of social arrangements, they come under the dominion of an altogether different setoflawB by which their rights and duties are defined. Hence it has become an axiom in political science, that, in dealing with the various problems which it presents, the first step must be, as Prof. Jevons expresses it, to rid ourselves of the idea that there are any such things in social matters us abstract rights. Whatever may be tbe nature or value of the rights which nature confers upon the individual, they cease to exist when he comes to form a part of a community. There is not the least connection between the natural rights of the solitary individual, and the moral rights of the man who has entered into association with others. Indeed, they are diametrically opposed to one another. The conclusion of the whole matter is that the foundation upon which the social fabric rests Ib not natural, but moral law, a law which is the expression of authority enforced by penalties, and which, while it confers rights -at the same time imposes correlative duties, Aud if this conclusion is correct, as the thoughtful render will readily perceive, comments an exchange, it pretty effectually disposes not only of Mr. George's theory, but of a good many other of the speculative and theoretical systems which have less or more currency iu our day. ____â _________â ____ NOTES AND COMMENTS. on using it. This is human nature. It is also a fact that the conductor never turnB the weary away, partly perhaps because be hasn't the heart to, and because the higher powers have never given him orders to that effect. This is human weakness. But even with things different, how could the conductor resist determined, muscular and leg-weary citizen? Physiclal violence would not meet the case, and moral suasion is ineffectual before dinner, which iB the usual hour for overcrowding. In fact the whole question is a grave social problem that ought to engage the closest attention of the world's philosophers.âEmpire. The new lease to be executed by Secretary Windom of the exclusive right to take fur seals is apparently confined to the islands of St. Paul and St. George, Alaska. The lessees bear the name of the American Commercial Company, the capital stock of which Is $3,000,000. The term of the lease is twenty years, the rent $60,000; in addition to which the company will pay a revenue tax of $2 on each sealskin, 17.(12.^ for each Bkin that may be shipped, and 50 cents for each gallon of seal oil. Besides, it Ib to furnish to the natives of the islands, free of charge, such quantity of dried salmon as the Secretary of the Treasury may direct, as well as salt and barrels for the preservation of meat. This lease will bring an enormous Increase of rent; the Alaska Fur Company paid (300,000 a year; if 100,000 seals be caught the Government will in future receive about (1,000,000 a year. If the operations of the company be confined within the maritime jurisdiction of the United States, the lease will in no way interfere with the rights of other countries. When the contract was made with the Alaska Fur Co. public attention had not been generally directed to the Bubject; the new lease is made at a time when both Americans outside the company, and British subjects, aro equally looking for the protection of their rights in Behring Sea. It is not probable that, under the circumstances, anything will be done to interfere with theBe rights.â Monetary Times. Gillespie tb Black. A case involving the title to a valuable lot on Hastings street, Vancouver, en- giged the attention of the Supreme ourt for a time Wednesday and was then adjourned until Friday. In 1886, Gillespie, one of the squatters on the Granville lots, became indebted to Geo. Black, and when his title to the lot in question was admitted bv the C. P. R. Co., he authorized the issuing of a title from the latter to Black, which was done. Since that time the lot has risen in value and is now worth something like (16,000. Gillespie disputes the conveyance, and brings this action to set it aside. A number of Vancouver witnesses are in the city to give evidence.â Timet. F.

Apropos of the statement made that the white fish in Lake Winnipeg were rapidly being exterminated, and that the fish now caugdt are much smaller than formerly, a correspondent of the Manitoba Free Prett writes that the the average weight of several carloads of fish caught In Lake Winnipeg this win ter was four and a half pounds, a greater average than ever before known. A committee of the United States Sen ate is endeavoring to ascertain how it is that the newspaper correspondents at Washington secure information with regard to the proceedings of that body when in secret or executive session. The newspapers, however, make no secret of the source of their information: they say that the "leakage" is not In the Senate Chamber, hut in the Senators themselves. Public opinion in the United StateB is now in favor of the abolition of the secret sessions. The people rightly think that there is no good reason why there should be any mystery about the conduct of public business. The spirit of tho age is not favorable to "star-chamber" proceedings.â Mail. Louis Sloss, the head of the old Alaska Fur Company, says that the Government will make in the twenty years of the new lease (14,000,000 more than would have been realized by renewing the lease to his concern, which, he says, is more than they could have made at the old prices for skins, and he claims that a rise in price will lessen the demand proportionately. On the contrary, the higher the price tho more determined will be a certain class of femininity to havo them. If sealskin sacques were (5 apiece they would soon be a drug in tho market.

Oh, dear lost heartacheâsweetest pain, When hours wero weeks and weeks were years, And eyes had always room for tears, How blest It was to pine and sigh, To wait for letters, sick at heart Of hope deferredâto kiss and part On dim street corners In the rain, To win a smile or madly feel A frown divide the soul like steel. Oh, loveliest misery 1 Why, why Did we curtail that happy grief, ' Or make one darling pang more brief ? For now the days are Bimplyâdays. We purt each mom, each night wo meet; We kiss and yawn, we talk and eat In married life's calm peaceful ways.. But, oh, for those dour woes abjured, And the sweet heartache that Is cured I âJudge, A SPECTRAL TRAGEDY. Strange, Weird Experience In tbe Far West In the summer of 18T8 I was thirty years of ageâin perfect health and of steady nerve. I was no believer In the uncannyâhardly in the supernaturalâ and had always pooh-poohed at tales of ghosts, phantoms and visions of all sorts. But at the time mentioned above the oxporienoe I am about to relate put my intellect and sensibility to tost In aucb. a manner as to make me sparing henceforward of ridicule and forced mo to find a place in credenoe for the possibility of apparition. It is unnecessary to explain how I camo to be traveling in the far West without companions, except for horse and dog and gun. Following tho general route of the old overland trail, I camped one night in the edge of a considerable forest and at a point from which I oould look forth over a broad, open plain, It was already after sundown. The good horse was pioketed, and, having provided a supper for myself and the dog from a rabbit which my dog had brought down an hour or two oarller, I disposed things for the night, and, as the stars camo out, lay down to sleep, comfortably rolled in a blanket. It was probably in the small hours of night that I awoko and rose to a sitting posture. The moon was climbing the eastern sky, with not a feather of oloud in her course, and every object stood forth as clearly as in the day. But it was not for me to contemplate tn quietude the rare beauty of the night. In almost the first moment of consciousness my eyes fell upon a slowly-moving object in the distanoe. It was one of those oanvas-oovored wagons, the "prairie schooners" so familiar in the early days of overland travel to California. It was approaching almost directly toward me and my curiosity was at once aroused. Why any one should be traveling thus and so late at night I could not imagine. The movement was heavy, as if the horses wore jaded, and tho man who walked by their sido had a weary stop. Twenty-minutes passed, the vehicle approaching nearer and noarer. Still on it came, until when about thirty yards from me it suddenly stopped, and the man looking about seemed to bo considering tne wisdom ot muiongoamp. At this point I suddenly realized that the approach of tho wagon had been utterly noiseless. Not a chuck of the wheels, not tho sound of a step either of horse or man. And furthermore there was no indication that I had been discovered, although I should have been as visible to this man as ho U> me. What could this mean? Was 1 dreaming? Nok I was nevor more awake. Was this hallucination? No, for the dog, who had been aroused by my movement in awakening, now turned his head In tho dlreetion of tho new arrival and uttered & low growl. I laid my hand on him to keep him quiet Tho man now stood by the forward wheel, looking in at the opening of tho canvas top, und though I heard no voice I imagbiod that he was speaking tosome ono within. A woman's head appeared and after a glance around gave a nod of assent und tho man proceeded to unhiir- ness the horses and turn them louse to graze. Then, after a moment, In which ho seemod to bo anxiously surveying the trail over which they had come, he helped the woman to alight. And now their movements greatly puzzled mo. Walking to and fro thoy Boomed to bo searching for some particular spot of ground. As I said above, I had selected my camping-ground in the outer edge of the forest. They wero moving about therefore amid mingled shadows and moonbrums, but every motion was visible Finally tho woman pointed a space between two young trees, and tho man after looking at it for a moment wont to tho rear end of the wagon and brought fosth a spade. With the edge of this implement ho marked off a rectangular space about Ave foot by two, and began to dig. All this, lot It he remembered, was In absolute Bllenoe. Hero were apparently living beings, actively engaged, and not mure than ono hundred feet away, and yet no sound was borne to mo on the quiet air. By this time my curiosity had turned to marvel. Hero was a contradiction of Common sense! I could not believe that what I saw was real; these beings must bo apparitions. And yet here by my sido was tho dog, aa alert as I, and trembling with an impulse to Investigate, while obedient to my hand of restraint. The digging proceeded, and the soil being soft, some five feet of depth was soon reached aud then the man throw out the spade upon the ground. The woman meanwhilo hod been plucking branches of evergreen, bringing thorn in armfuls and throwing them besideâ "the grave," I thought And now, with the utmost bare and patience, the whole cavity wus lined with these sprigs of evergreen, hold in plaee by twigs thrust into the banks on either side. This done tho man sprang out The two surveyed their work for a moment, and tlion, after gazing onoe more, as if in anxiety, over the route by which they hod como, they approached the wagon. Having rolled up the canvas on ono aide they lifted out a small mattress, depositing it upon a blanket which thoy had spread upon the ground. The mattress was not without Its bur- don. The beams of the full moon enabled mo to see thereon a slight formâ thatof a little girl who hod scarcely lived out three years. The pretty white hands wore folded over the breast. Long golden curls fell upon tho pillow. The faco which I oould see with astounding clearness was wonderfully beautiful in its aspect ot innocence and wore a lifelike smile, as if in answer to tho radiant queen of the sky, who seemed to be smiling, too, as she looked steadfastly down upon tho living and tho dead. The mother forthwith proceeded to arrange the spreads upon the child, tucking them and smoothing them i down as if she wero only putting her little one to bed, although while I heard no sob nor any expression of grief I could see that her breast was hoavlng with sorrow and her face was visited by tours, The two now knelt on either Bide, kissing their darling many times and weeping over her, though trying apparently to comfort ono another In tholr mutual wretchedness, if porohanoe there might come In their hearts a ealm like Unit with which tho moon was still sending down her beams to Illumine the tearful scene, Then laying hold of tho blanket thoy carried their darling to the grave, and by the aid of the bridle-reins let the preoious burden down into the place whioh they had so carefully prepared. Green boughs were scattered over her until they covered the beautiful form many inches deep, and then the clods were gently replaced, and a little mound was heaped, and the ohild transferred from her mother's bosom was sleeping at last in the bosom of the greater motherâEarth. The two Sad mourners knelt again beside the grave, and seemed to be engaged in prayer, lifting their faces now and then to the sky as if in its indefinite elear depths they saw the future hopes. All this-though I still thought it unrealâhad awakened in me the keenest interest and sympathy. But my attention was now suddenly diverted to a line of figures in the distanoe, somewhat beyond the spot where I had seen the wagon when I first awoke. Those were horsomen, who oame sweeping on at a rapid pace, as if engaged in eager pursuit From the manner in which thoy rode I knew they were Indians. Ah! I saw it all now and understood why these spectral visitors had so often looked baok apprehenslvoly in the direotion from which thoy had approached. These pilgrims across the plains had seen Bigns of savages and had used night to push on beyond their roaoh, if haply they might bury their dead In peace and find safety for thomselves. But tho foe had discovered their trail and followed them, bent on massaore. I laid my hand instinct! voly on the rifle under tho edgo of my blanket that I might join In the defense, and was about to ory out tn warning of the danger that I saw approaching, hut instantly bethought myself that this was unreality; a more vision, calling for no practical action, and I might hotter let these Bhadows work out their tragedy to tho end. I again restrained the dog, who seemed agitated, whether because ho saw what I was seeing, or" out of sympathy with my omotionâI know not whtoh. .The two at the grave seemed unconscious of the threatened danger until their enemies wero within tt few hundred yards, whon the man sprang up and lifted the woman also to her feet They turned toward tho wagon as if to gain its shelter and secure weapons for defense. It was too late. I saw flashes of fire and also a flight of arrows, still without a sound, however, to break the ealm of tho night. Both tlie man and woman staggered as if wounded. They stopped and turned face to faco, throwing their arms about each other as If realizing that this was their last embrace. Anothor volley, and, still clinging to each other in the agony of death, they fell together upon tho grave of their child. Tho Indians were not long in completing their work. Then catching tho horses and harnessing them into tho wagon thoy hastened away, as though themselves in fear of pursuit. I watched them until thoy disappeared, and then was alone with my thoughts and the brilliant night. I realized that I had soon a vision, and though I turned myself resolutely to rest my sleep for the remainder of tho night was fitful.and disturbed. Whon flnully 1 awakened again the sun hud risen, and under the influence of that great dispoller of illusions and in spite of tho vividness of the night's experience I began to think that after alt I might havo boon only drowning, especially when I saw the Bpuco whore I had Been tho burial and tho tragedy that followed was not open and clear but overgrown with brush and young trees. Nevertheless, yielding to a curiosity of which I was meanwhilo almost ashamed, I soon made my way up into tho hushes. Parting these with my hands as I went forward, and scanning the ground closely, I shortly experienced a new shook of surprise. For there, in the exact spot marked hy tho night scene, was a little mound, nnd over tt tho remains of two skeletons. And now for a retrospective foot which gave to this weird oxporienoe of the night a personal significance. While I was yot a lad in my toons my brother, twenty years older, hud taken his young wife and only child aud set out across tho plains in pursuit of fortune The molls had brought homo tidings of tho progress of their journey up to a certain point Beyond this all trace was los t, and we never heard of thorn again. I have not boon able to account satisfactorily for what I havo related, Was this an indubitable information vouchsafed to me from another world as to the fate of my relatives? If so, why was tt resorved for this time and placo? Was It impossible that I should huve this vision elsewhere? And If this is the ease, then why? Had nature photographed these tragic scenes and preserved their reflection, to reproduce them for an eye that was fitted by some occult law of sympathy to behold? Let thesavantsanswer if they can âI can notâEdward B. Payne, in Overland. A DRUMMER'S RU8E. Hit Lively EtperlÂ«nee In a Disastrous Georgia Hurricane. "Drummers aro capable of doing some slick things when they want to." The speaker was an ex-drummer. "I knew a young member of tho 'profosh,'" he continued, addressing a Savannah News reporter, "who played a good ono on a tobacco house in Savannah on one occasion, "A severe hurricano passed over the southwestern portion of Georgia, and the young drummer happened to be down In that section at the time. The firm hero know that he was thero, and they were alarmed. Thoy wlrod, but were unable to got a reply to any of tholr dispatches, as tho linos in that section were on tho ground. The tracks wero washed and trains did not move for a week. The young drummer, failing to get word from his house, and being unable to loavt where he was stopping, foil In with a, company'of young mon and had a royal big time. He had some prtio sample cigars, and ho opened box after box, and thoy wore smoked up. He had a good deal of premium chewing tobacco, and the country hoys helped him chow it When the weod ended he was without samples. During the excitement he did not stop to think In what a predicament he would bo when he would start out with a score of empty grips, He 'stuck' by tho town, onjoytng himself with the boys, until toward tho end of the week, when be received a dispatch from tho houso reading like this: 'Are you kilted? Wire particulars.' It flashed in his mind to put up a pitiful story, and he sent them this: 'Not dead. Escaped with my life. Samples gone; send more' It was a groat hit. Tho proprietors replenished the sample oases, and, in addition, sent tholr representative sovoral boxes of fine Havanas for his own use," The young man made his rounds on the extras and oame Into the city as fresh as you please, receiving the congratulations of friends and the firm. NOT THE LAST DECADE. A. D. 1901 Will Be the lint Ten In tbe Twentieth Cental-?. The newspapers aeem to bo bound to mislead the public in regard to the calendar of years, as they have so frequently done on every opportunity, and most notably of all within the recolleo- tion of the present generation, In the year 1850. It takes fifty full years to make half a century, says the New York Mail and Express, and consequently every body finally saw and acknowledged that 1851 was the beginning of the second half of the nineteenth century, although the newspapers with al- mo|t entire unanimity had led oft in announcing 1850 to be the commence- ment.of that half century. On a similar principle It takes ten full years to mako a decade, and the silly talk of 1890 being the commencement of the last decade of the present century is only another repetition ot the blunder so easily committed on this subject, The same kind of an error will undoubtedly be committed on the first day of January, 1900. The slip-dash, hullabaloo newspapers will blow up the trumpets that that Is the beginning ot the twentieth oentury, whereas the plain, arithmetical truth Ib that tho whole of the year 1900 will belong to the nineteenth oentury, and the first day of the next century will be January 1,1901, Let us illustrate this in such a way that even a ohild can understand it: The thing proved is that ten years make a decode and ten deoades make a century. The mere changing of the digit from 9 to 10 does not make a year, nor will the obanglng of the numbering of the years from 1890 to 1600 make a yoar. The full year 10 belongs to the first deoado and the full year 1900 belongs to the nineteenth century, The following table will more fully explain it: DMADXS, Ut, Id. td. 4th.

D. isoo is the Inst your of tlie ninth decade ot the nineteenth century, and not the llrst year of its lust or tenth decade. In 1850 we remembered hearing a very eloquent divine who hud entered into the contest on philosophical and historical principles, ns lie asserted, who was at tlrst so thoroughly convinced that 1850 began tho Becond half of the ntnetecth century that ho declared he was just as sure ul it as lie was that thero wus a Ood in Heaven. We wero extremely shocked lo lieur such 11 declaration frtuu the pulpit, and remarked that tlie divine did not understand himself, foe In reality lie was much more sure of the latter than of the former part of his proposition; und it was only about six months from that timo when we had tho good fortune to again bo present in his church when he publicly acknowledged und confessed his error, deplored tho seeming profanity of which lio hud been guilty, und took baok all his theories that the your 1 had begun at the commencement of the seoond year of tho Christian era, and consequently that the twelve months preoedlng were, and ough t to bo, marked only with a cipher, as If thoy did not occur in any year, and admitted that the commencement of the second half of the nineteenth century was still some six mouths in the future, He advised his congregation nevor to follow his example of allowing the heat of debate so to obscure their vision and warp their Judgment as to insist upon the invincibility of any position which they were led to tako from a superficial understanding of the subject. Tho Drench Government seems determined to make the "pleasant land ol Franco" as unpleasant a land as possible for foreigners to live in.

BEATING A LAWYER. Bow a Farmer Made a Handiome 8am Without Much Trouble. One of the best gems of Allen, ot Mississippi, says a Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, waB dropped the other night at Cham- berlln's. Half a dozen congenial spirits were seated together at a table and one thing and another led Allen to reel off a full dozen ot stories. The last one was about his Tupelo constituent, Bill Brown. Bill is an old farmer who owns half the marshes around Allen's native city. A year ago he bought a young bull from a lawyer who is a shrewd fellow and known throughout Allen's district. "Brown wasn't quite sura of his bargain." said Allon, "so every time tho lawyer went that way he hedged so much that tho lawyer grew extravagant tn his praise." "I tell you, Brown," said he, as he rode by the farm-house, "that's the finest animal tn tho whole country. I'd ride any timo two miles out of my way just to pass It in your moadow. I sold it to you for 875, but I reckon it's worthâ" "How muoh is it worth, cap'n?" said the farmer. "Well, It I was selling It to-day 1 wouldn't let it go for a oent less than 9350. It's worth that and I congratulate you on shaving me so neatly." Bill Brown felt pretty good over the bull, and every time he saw tho lawyer they talked about it, the lawyer always repeating that he would not sell it for less than 8250. The lawyer in the meantime had become couitsel for a Mississippi railroad and had to appraise and settle all difficulties for the corporation. One day as he sat in bis office loutish Bill Brown came in, twirled his hat between his thumbs, and said In a wheedling tone: "I reckon that 'air bull li â food for a pert sum, cap'n." "Certainly, Mr. Brown, oertalnlyj 9950 couldn't buy it of me if 1 still had It In my possession." "Well, eap'n, that 'air bull was run over by yer railroad las' night, an' I reckon you'll see that they pay me 9350 for it" âBeefsteak Rolls.âOut a steak from the round in halt, lengthwise, that is, split It and then out each half Into strips as wide as your hand; rub an onion over the inside of these strips. Butter thin siloes ot bread and stick into each one clove, add some pepper, salt and celery seed or aomo bits of chopped celery.

Then put them in a saucepan with wator to coyer them, and let them stew slowly for two hours. Romovo the threads whon serving. The gravy should be plenty and good. NOTICE.

The range should be dry enough for practice within a week or two. It is understood that the collector of customs will take into custody tlie fire alarm apparatus now in use in Vancouver unless the duty according to the full valuation of the goods be paid. The goods were put under seizure at tlie time the entry was made, but proceedings were delayed, pending instructions from the Customs Department at Ottawa. The Westminster Bides parade for company drill to-night at 8 o'clock sharp. The last parade was very poorly attended, and it will be a bad lookout for the company on inspection day if the interest is not maintained up till the very last. Evory man should strain a point to be regular at drill us it will not last much longer and it is most desirable to pass a really good inspection. The editorial and business offices of Tiik Columbian have been removed to the new Powell Block, Colunibia street, where parties having business to transact with any of our departments are requested to call. Our new offices have not been completely fitted up yet, but it wast deemed advisable for greater convenience to have the whole working of the establishment under one roof. *tc Blaine is reported to have caught the boom at last, and property is selling very rapidly. Messrs. BichardB & Mackintosh, of this city, received a despatch from their agent at Blaine stating that he had closed deals this morning amounting to nearly $10,000 in value. There is no reason why Blaine should not go ahead. It has an excellent situation and will soon be a railroad town. About 20 tons of potatoes have reached the market during the last three days, and the supply is now adequate to meet all local demands. Prices continue firm and there is little chance of a large decrease in value before the now potatoes come in. It would be well, however, for farmers to dispose of their surplus stock without delay, for if reports are correct there is still a large quantity of tubers to find their way to the market. A splendid sample of tho power of the United States navy arrived in Port Townsend harbor on Monday iu tne shape of the V- & 8. Iroquois, which had Ihoii 100 dayB coining irom Honolulu. For 82 days she had been blown about helpless on the waste of waters, her crew on short allowance, and in pitiable plight. Her difficulties commenced in the breaking down of her engines, which by tho way would never givo her but four knots speed, and she had to sail Into port. ^^^^^^^^^ An' What for Nn, Mnlmiear Canada's clover comic join u tl, Grip, in its last number to hand, March 8th, has a quarter-page cartoon representing the gallant Senator Mclnnes, of B. C, in all the glory of bonnet ami foathur, tartan nnd kilt, and bare knees, with one arm akimbo holding a tack hammer, and the other in a flourishing attitude pointing to the following legend which he has just tacked up on a dead wall: "Gaelic shall be an official language, too, whateffer!" Just underneath the figure is the line, "Hielant too, an* what for no, Mclnnes?" followed by the notice of motion given by Senator Mclnnes in the Senate recently, to the effect that Gaelic should be an official language Â»s well as French. It is unnecessary to Bay that the artist is Mr. J. W. Bongough, who delighted Westminster audiences last fall with his clever sketches and performances on the public platform. Tho lti.jÂ».irn Oonimeaeed. The repairs of the North Arm bridges have boon commenced by tho contractors, the San Francisco Bridge Co. The number of men employed as yet Ib small, but tho force will be gradually increased as tho work progresses. 'Mr, Balfour, the Government superintendent, is on hand, and all repairs and additions aro tiindt! under his direct supervision and orders. The fanners are satisfied that the work will be thorough this time, and they have evory confidence In the ability of the superintendent to make the bridges what thoy were at first intended to bo. It is expected the repairs will occupy between two and three months, and perhaps more if high water should happen .to interfere with operations. Lights are to bo placed on the bridges at night as a guard to navigators, and to prevent the recurrence of any such accident as happened the Btr, Fairy Queen last fall. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla; Dr. Baldwin's Lecture. Dr. Orpha D. Baldwin lias arrived in the City and will lecture to-night at Herring's Opera House on "How to make life worth living." Dr. Baldwin had some trouble in reaching Westminster owing to the stupidity of the train hands on the Atlantic express. The conductor failed to mention that a change for Westminster was made at the junction, and the brakesman also neglected to give the passengers the accustomed warning. Iu consequence of riot knowing the geo- raphicul situation of the Royal City, _)r. Baldwin was carried to Port Hammond, where Bhe was so fortunate as to catch the str. Gladys and thus reached the city. The Opera House should bo filled to-night, ub it is quite certain the lecture will be well worth hearing. To-morrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock Dr. Baldwin will give an address to mothers, to which girls over 15 years of age will be admitted. â Â»â*ââ¢â The Mendelssohn Club. As will be seen by an advertisement in another column the celebrated Men- delsBohn Quintette Club,, of Boston, will give one of their talented performances at Herring's Opera House on Friday evening, March 21st. Of this excellent combination the Buffalo Courier Bays: The playing of the Mendelssohn Quintette, Increased to a sextette, was an important part of the concert. The club contributed three numbers, which were enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Max, Droge, the 'celloiat, played a movement from Heinrich Hoffman's concerto, which Ib a composition imbued with the grace and purity of this musician's style. The music was exquisitely played, as was Aopper's dashing "Spanish Dance." Mr. Ryan was unable to play the solo announced for clarionet, and a violin solo, with orchestral accompaniment, was substituted. Mr. Ohliger, the violinist, is musical, well drilled, and an artist. H1b boIo was encored, and he responded with Schumann's "Trim- mere!." ,â_âÂ»-â Â»â ,< Afloat and Ashore. The str, Adelaide experienced a rather eventful trip up river this week. The water Ib unusually low at present, and places where the river steamers can ordinarily approach without trouble are only covered with a few inches of water. The Adelaide ran aground somo three times in all, once at Sumas, again at Chilliwack and lastly in a slough a short distance above Langley. The steamer Gladys assisted her oft on one occasion, but in the other instances the steamer was obliged to wait for high tide. A bar is forming very rapidly above Langley, so rapidly in fact that steamboat men knew nothing of it, and it is not to be wondered at that the Adelaide went aground where no impediment was known. At this point the steamer lay from last evening until an early hour this morning when she floated off and reached port shortly before 6 o'clock. These iniBhaps delayed the Adelaide about 30 hours, but her experiences will be of benefit to the other vessels plying the river, as they will bo able to avoid the bars she went aground on. ,â.â*â*â, The Licenses to be Iisuod. Yesterday Messrs. D. W. Port & Co. tolegiaphed Mr. J. A. Mara, member of Parliament for Yale district, asking him to call upon the department and urge the immediate issuance of fishing licenses. Mr. Mara evidently lost no time in attending to the request, for this morn ing a reply was received from him stating that tho Minister of Fisheries had promised to authorize the immediate is sue of the licenses. Mr. Mowat, Inspector of Fisheries, received no official infor* matiou on the subject to-day, but it is expected the order from the department will come to hand within the week. This morning a second telegram was scut to Mr. Mara, asking him to muko an effort to have the department issue an order to Mr, Mowat by telegraph to allow fishing permits until the licenses are to hand. If this last request is granted it will givo general satisfaction to the fishermen. Now that the issue of the licenses has been ordered the leading question is, how will they be divided? Any attempt to cut down the number of free licenses, from that issued last year, aud the cannery licenses increased at their expense, will not be satisfactory, aud such a proceeding will be strongly resented. To-Morrow'a -Match. Rain or shine, the football match between the Westminster nnd Vancouver clubs will come off to-morrow afternoon iu Queen's Park. The Vancouver team lias been practising everyday thiB week, and will consequently come over in the pink of condition. The home team has practiced twice, but on neither occasion was the full team out. All things considered the odds should lie strongly in favor of Vancouver, but after all Westminster may show a form that will sur- Eriso everyone. Tho visitors will arrive y the 2:30 train, and the match will commence about a half an hour later. The 4 p.m. train will be held two hours to permit the Vancouver contingent to see the match nnd return the same evening. Following Ib the team chosen to represent Vancouver: II H Mnekay, full back; A B William It P Woodward, C Nicholls, Va backs; C H Woodward, J O Ben well, '., backs: R M Fripp, R E Palmer,âHome, J W Dawson, R J Harvey, P Evans, E W W Pugh,âLee, A G Malcolm, forwards.

Westminster Klectrle Unlit Oo. The charter for this company was finally passed on the 5th iust. by the legislature, and Mr. A. M. Herring, one of tho directors of the company, tells us that the work wilt be proceeded with at once. Three of the company have Iwen for some time examining the different systems lu the United States aud Canada, and have selected the ve.iy best system now in use, both for street aud house lighting. Plans and Bitecificatlons aro now being prepared for the building aud other works of the company. â¢ Mr. Herring received a letter from the president of the company, Hon. Senator Mclnnes, yesterday, stating that the negotiations for the purchase of the plant, etc., were progressing favorably, aud that he expected to place the order with a reliable company In a few days. Tho company was very fortunate in securing an excellent water power near the city, by which they will lie able to effect a saving to the shareuolders, as against using Btenni, of many thousand dollars per year. One advantage of the city being lighted by electricity, will lie that the river in front of the city will bo as navigable at any hour of the night as iu the daytime. The actual foundation of this company is another evidence of the prosperity and progress of Westminster, the Inception of which Is due to two of our enterprising citizens, Hon. Senator Mclnnes and Mr. A. M, Herring. Tho stock of the company is being rapidly disposed of, Hon. Senator Mclnnes is President and Mr. A. M. Herring Is Secretary aud Treasurer, â #_*ââ¢â, Thero is trouble in St. James' cathedral, Toronto, and some of tho members of the congregation, prominent among whom is Col.

Curtwright Accuses the Government of NegligenceâInteresting Immigration Statistic*. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Ottawa. March 14.âThe House met at the usual hour and Cartwright attacked the Government for their delay in bringing down important measures. He particularly attacked the Ministers of Finance and Customs. He considered that the Minister of Finance was negligent in not bringing the budget speech before this date, and he took pleasure in supporting Mr. Laurler's motion censuring the Government for the delay. Hon. Mr. Foster defended the Government and denied the charges. Mr. Lowe, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, appeared before the committee on agriculture and immigration and gave some interesting information on the immigration into the Dominion for the last calendar year. Of the total arrivals at all ports of Canada there settled in the country 91,600 persons, of this number 31,000 souls were Canadians who had been for a time settled in the United States, but returned to remain in Canada, which, after all their experiences, they found it to be the best country for them. Manitoba and the Northwest received the greatest number of these repatriated immigrants, but all of the old provinces received it portion each, especially Quebec. The value of personalities brought iu by immigrants in household effects tiud money was $1,115,000. The total cost of tho immigration service for the year, including literature, agencies and all other expenses, was $120,000, equal to about $137 per immigrant settled. Several railway delegations waited on the Minister thisjiuorning, one was from Hamilton and the other from Toronto, Adam Brown's Pigeon Bill was defeated last evening. ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS. The equatorial province which Emin Pasha waa forced to abandon to at least partial disorganization is not likely, observes au exchange, to relapse iuto the savage condition in which Egypt found it fifteen years ago. ThiB district is fertile and comparatively, salubrious, and its development is not likely to be neglected after Lake Victoria Nyanza, from which it is easily accessible, is brought directly within the sphere of European enterprise. Whether Emin r< turns or not, his old province will not be relinquished, and either under the nominal sovereignty of Egypt, or directly as an annexation to the British Empire, the Upper Nile valley is likely very soon to pass into the control of tbe British, whose East African territory, up the whole length of which a railway is projected, already extends to with in few days' march of Emin's old headquarters. With Britain pushing across the Zambesi to Lake Nyassa and the central lake region, and also westward to Nyanza, as well as holding the practical control of Egypt, it seems not unlikely that before many years tho flag of Great Britain will be a familiar emblem of empire the whole way from the Cape of Good Hope to the mouth of the Nile. Thus the British Empire grows by force of circumstances to dimensions which a few years ago were scarcoly dreamed of. A girl named Jessie, an occupant of a house of ill-fame, in Winnipeg, took a dose of rough on rats the other night, and succumbed to its effects the next morning. *ââ¦_.-, New lot of Linoleums and Linoleum Mats; something new, at Ellard & Co.'s. no Proponed Lines of Klectrle Tramways from Lulu Island and the North Arm to Westminster and Vancouver. A scheme is now on foot to build au electric tramway from Vancouver across the North Arm to the south shore of Lulu Island. Mr. J. W. Sexsmith, reeve of Richmond, is taking an active interest in the enterprise, and is one of the leading promoters. A large number of Vancouverites are interested in the scheme, and have agreed to purchase a majority of the stock shares. Several wealthy North Arm and Lulu Island farmers are also taking stock in.the concern, and it may be said that the electric tramway will be under construction before the autumn.* The estimated cost of the tramway is $150,000, and the extreme length of tlie road will be 12 miles, Mr, Sexsmith and several of the most prominent promoters of the scheme will go to Victoria early next week and endeavor to have the charter passed through the House before the present session closes. In connnection with the above enterprise a tramway from Westminster to the North Arm is alsoBpokon of, but Westminster capital will be required if the road is to be built. Willi tne completion of the proposed road to Vancouver the North Arm and Lnln Island trade will naturally pass over to the terminal city, unless at the same time equal facilities are olt'ered the farmers to reach the Royal City. An electric tramway from this city running down the centre of Lulu Island will give Westminster tho control of this trade, and immediate steps should be taken to guard our interests in this direction. The line to Vancouver proposes to carry freight as well as passengers, and to make the entire run of 12 miles in about an hour. With such facilities as these it is easy to see where the channel trade would naturally incline to unless equal inducements towards the mora natural market, Westminster, nro offered. â¢ PRRSBYTERY OF COLUMBIA. The Ordinary f.|iriiig Meeting Opened With a Full Atlemliiiiue of Ito- j.rvH.-ntiiliv.'H. The spring meeting of the Presbytery of Columbia opened at Victoria Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock in the First Presbyterian church, Rev. Alex. Tnit, modorntor, in the chair, nnd Rev. 1). McKae, clerk. The other niumbers of the Presbytery present were: Revs. A. Fraser, Comox; H. D. McLaren, Vancouver; J. A. Jafl- ray, North Arm; Thos. Scouler, New Westminster; Alex. Dunn, Wharnock: Geo. Murray, Nicola; W. W. Warren Ladner's Landing; P. McF. MeLeod and D. Eraser, Victoria; EldersâHon. John Robson, J. C. Flett, Victoria; nnd D, C. McMorris, Kamloops. Hew E. D. McLaren reported that he had moderated in a call in the First church, Vancouver, it was iu favor of Rev. T, C. Jack, of Maitlaud, N.S., and parties supporting this call, as well as those in opposition, were heard nt length. On account of the want of unanimity the Presbytery declined to sustain the call. Rev. Mr. Macleod reported that he had held a meeting in St. Andrew's church, Nanaimo, for the purpose of electing a pastor for that congregation. The names of two ministers wero presented to the meeting ns candidates for the vacancy, and on a vote being taken it resulted iu a tie, necessitating the abandonment of the proceedings. Each candidate received 25 votes at the meeting referred to, and In view of this deadlock the congregation will bo forced to look in some other direction for a pastor. Rev. Alex. Fraser of Comox, and Rev. John Chisholm of Kamloops were the two gentlemen upon whose claims tho congregation wero divided. Rev. Thomas Scouler was, on iiiotlun, apiHilnted Presbytery treasurer, vice Itev. R. Jamiesou, resigned. Kev. John lining, D. I)., of Duudas, Out., was nominated as moderator of the next general assembly, which is t be held at Ottawa in June. A considerable portion of tho afternoon was taken up lu discussing the Home Mission work of tho Presbytery, and especially iu revising the grants to be made to the different fields of work, The evening sederunt was occupied with reports on Sabbath observance, the state of religion, ten i pent nee am Sabbath-schools. Interesting addresses were made on these subjects by Rev. Messrs, McLaren, Scouler, McRae, A. Frasor, D, Eraser, and Murray: and tho Presbytery adjourned until Thursday morning at 0:30 o'clock. ^^^^^^^^^^ I*ATK CANADIAN NKAVS. Frank A.
