" eh Columbian\ntrl\u00E2\u0080\u0094r a.tnlna, Nov. ts, 1SSI.\nWe have not the slightest objection to the Times or any other newspaper making \" a six-line local\" out\nof information obtained from the\nColumbian. What we lind fault\nwith is the copying of items indiscriminately without credit and, in\nsome instances, without even changing them to suit the circumstances.\nFor example, a few days ago tho\nColumbian published an item giving\nthe quantity of freight handled by\nthe C.P.B. at this eity during the\nweek, and the amount of money received for freight and for tickets.\nThe Times copied the wholo item,\nwithout change and without credit,\nso that it appeared us a statement\nof tho railway business handled at\nViotoria instead of Westminster.\nThis is not the first instance of the\nkind, nor is the Times alone guilty\nof such things.\nIt is said that among the freight\nbrought ovor by the steamer Abyssinia was a quantity of bricks from\nJapan. These bricks, we are told,\nmay be obtained so cheaply at Yokohama that it is possible to lay\nthem down in Vancouver at a figure\nwhich brings them into successful\ncompetition with bricks from the\nprovincial yards. If our information be correct, it may happen that\nthe price of bricks will come down,\nen event from which builders will\nreceive a benefit at the expense of\nthe brick makers. Tho demand for\nbricks in this city and Vancouver\nduring the past season has been enormous, and next season it is not\nlikely to be any less. While this\ndemand keeps up the resources of\nthe makers will be taxed to their\nutmost capacity, and prices may be\nexpected to remain firm.\nWe expressed the opinion the\nother day that it was a mistake to\nrequire college graduates who applied for positions as teachers in\nour schools to undergo a technical\nexamination by the provincial board.\nIn a letter to the Times Bev. D.\nFnuer, of Viotoria, gives expression\nto a similar view. He points out\nthtt the salaries offered to teachers\nin this province are not such as to\ninduce first-class men from the east\nto accept them. Common teachers\nreceive much better salaries in British Columbia than elsewhere in\nCanada, bnt first-class men in the\nhigh schools of the east bring from\n$1200 to $1800 a year. By requiring graduates to pass a local examination we practically shut out some\nof the best teachers, and this is particularly foolish inasmuch as we\nhave no university of our own to\nnuke graduates.\nThere is open war in eastern\nCanada and the United States between the Ohurch of Borne and the\npublic schools. Some of the most\ninfluential newspapers in the republic declare that this question of\nmaintaining the public schools\nagainst the assaults of Borne will\nspeedily become one of the chief\nquestions in many of the states. In\nOntario the controversy has long\nbeen carried on. There the Boman\nCatholics have separate schools un\nder their own management wherever\nthey choose to establish them, but\nin many instances their children con\ntinue to. attend the publio schools in\npreftv to their own. Bishop\nCleary, of Kingston, has lately been\nshowing special activity in opposing\nand denouncing the public schools,\nwarning his Bock that unless they\nutterly withdrew from these institutions their prospects in the future\nwould be extremely unsatisfactory.\nAt Kapanee the other day the\nbishop made one of the most extraordinary speeches we have ever\nheard, from a person occupying the\ndignified position to which he has\nbeen called. He made a terrible\nassault on Canadian public schools,\ndeclaring tbat they wore \" an abomination and a disgrace,\" They\nare, he laid; \" schools of corruption\nand an abomination to the country.\"\nIt has always been held that the\npublio sohool system of Ontario, established by trie late Dr. Byeraon,\nwu one of the best in the world.\nSo widely had its fame extended,\nthat commissioners have come Ipng\ndistances to study and copy it. But\nBishop Cleary eays of it: \"Such\nan Ignorant system the world never\nsaw before.\" As a result of tho ignorance aad depravity of the public\nschools, the bishop thinks the women\nof Oanada are a bold, immodist, ignorant set: Travelling in Oanada,\nlays this divine, has become \"well\nnigh intolerable by bold, screaming,\nscreeching women;\" and for sake of\npeace and quietness, , gentlemen\ntravelling on the railways are forced\nto take refute in the smoking can\nao ae to eeeape these terrible women!\nEven on the street., he says, Canadian girls are so bold ahd immodest\nthat thejr stare into men's faces until they (the men) fairly blush for\nshame! The coeducation of the\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0exes he denounces as \"an abomination whioh even pagaui would not\ntolerate.\" We are afraid Bishop\nCleary will not find many people in\nOanada to agree or sympathize with\nwith hiin in his opinions. It is a\nlibel upon the women of Canada tp\netigmatise them as immodest. That\nthen' are immodest, screeohing,\nboisterous women in Canada as elsewhere, no one will deny\u00E2\u0080\u0094and there\nlire also bishops who become needlessly boisterous in denouncing what\nthey either do not undorstnnd or de-\nlire to misrepresent. Such exaggeration is sure to reflect upon . tbo\nperson who indulges in it.\nIf a few Gkains nr Common SKHsis\ncould Ire infused into tho thick noddlo3\nof thoso who perpetually anrl alternately\nIrritate and weaken thoir Btumaehs and\nbowels with drastic purgatives, they\nwould uso the highly aeercditcd and\nhealthful laxative aud touic, Northrop k\nLyman's Vegetable Discovery anil iJya-\n[reptic Ctiro, which causes \" Rood digestion to wait on appetite, and health ou\nboth\"\nA Creaking Hinge\nIs dry and turns hard, until oil is applied,\nafter which it moves easily.

No, gold-\nh tided canes are now not considered\nfashionable. They are affected by elderly\nmen. Silver-headed canes will be worn\nas loig as the rlude continues to exist.

Yes,\nIh re is a profit in this business, bnt not\nbo big a one as many people imagine,\"\nsaid the cane nun in conclusion.\nDiUBnilap,\nColonel A. Sinierk Piatt, In in article\npublished in the North American Keview,\nexpresses tha opinion that tho people of\nthe L'n'terl States are, and for years have\nlie 'ii, in a Ntate of slavery to' the bondholders, worse even than the Negro\nanivt'i'y at th r South which Was destroyed\nby the War of the Rebellion.\nWnnt he demands it a summary release from this bondage, not by repudiating the national debt out and out, b. by\np iv n; all tho bonds that are due, and\nth n buying all that are not due, and by\nisoiing \"greenbacks\" in sufficient quan-\nt tr to m.e t cjianiwtep ot the whole\ndebt.\nIt ia quite true that a government or\nan individual owing debts, ia in a state of\nbondage to the creditors ia the sense oi\nbeing bound to pay these debts. This1\nhowever, is a kind of bondage which hu\nbeen common througout the whole history of the world, ana will remain so to\nthe end ot time. The relation oi dobtor\nanrl creditor, like that of husband ind\nwife, parent and child, ruler and rated,\nbironjs naturally to human society. Wa\nhad uot supposed that thii relation bore\nnny analogy to Negro alavery, and certainly not that it is worse than such ilav-\nery, until so informed by Colonel Pratt\n(treat benefits arise bom it, alike to the\nile: nor and the creditor. Indeed, we do\nnot well see how Kwiety could .'get along\nru iti industrial and brulneea aSairs,\nwithout having in it mow or leas tbeele-\nin nt of debt bondage. When an indi-\nvi lital or a government wants to borrow,\nit is vory convenient to find some one\nwho bas the means of becoming a lender,\nand will become such. Such wis the\ncase with this Government doling the\nlatowir;\"\nWe, however, entirely agree with Colonel Pratt in the wisdom ofgetting rid of\nthis debt bondage by paying tha national\ndebt as noon aa possible.

The clearness of its wators and\nwild beauty of its mountain surroundings,\nits fine atmosphere, and its historic recollections make it a place of more than\ncommon interest to the tourist. Its facilities for hunting and fishing are unsurpassed. There is one kind of game that\nis hunted witb much zeal by lovers of\nthis sport, which is seldom mentioned as\nan attraction to tho region. This is the\nbunting of rattle-snakes on tbe mountain\nledges and rocky hillsides every spring.\nSeveral of our oldest residents make a\ntrip each spring, when the weather becomes warm enough, to the home of tho\nreptiles of which there are several well-\nknown dens on the lake. Mr. Hershel\nColvin, of Glen Falls, and Reuben Ripley\nof Lake George, have long been noted\nfor tbeir annual rattle-snake bunts. This\nyear Mr. Colvin returned home much\ndisgusted, having only killed twelve\nsnakes. Their mode of capturing them\nis dangerous, to say the least. Taking\ntheir guns they proceeded to the piaces\nwhere the rattlers are wont to assemble\nand be at about among tbo rock until one\nis discovered. Then they shoot him.\nOftentimes they appear suddenty to tbo\nhunter. Then the sensation is not so\npleasant. The snakes nre hunted for\nthe sport, but some old hunters have\ngreat faith in their oil, which they claim\nIs very penetrating and a great remedy\nfor rheumatism. The killing off of large\nnumbers in the spring lessens the number\nto wander abroad all around the lake\nlater in the season, to the annoyance of\ncottage campers and hotel-keepers. For\nas soon as hot weather begins the snakes\nleave their dens and roam over the surrounding country. They are great swimmers, and Bwim across the lake and make\nno choice of a landing-place. Thoso interested have men engaged the season\nthrough in killing rattlers. Each morning they go out with a pole and poke into\nall places where a snake might be hidden\narid kill all they may find. In some\nspots a man is kept on the watch at all\nspot\ntim\ntimes for snakes, so that boarders at hotels ss visitors rarely if ever see a sn ike.\nIn fact, there is not an attendant at a hotel on the lake who can be enticed to\nown that he ever saw a rattle-snake, to\nsay nothing about killing one. In spite\nof all this watching a rattler will manage\nto get into a house once and awhile, and\nthen there is music for a short time\namong tbe ladies. Old campers on the\nlake who have visited it for years can\nseldom be forced to admit that there are\nmany snakes there, unless they may be\ninveigled into telling snake stories, then\none gets an idea of snakes. Two species\nof rattlesnake exist there, but as a rule\nthey will trouble no one if not disturbed.\nNo cases of anybody being bitten by a\nBiinke is recorded unless he was engaged\nin hunting them .or had invaded their\ndens. An old snake-hunter several years\nago became so careless that in trying to\ncapture one he undertook to catch the\nsnake by the tail as he slipped under a\nstone, and was bitten. Not enough\nwhiskey could be got into him, and he\nnever hunted any more rattlesnakes.\nMost experienced campers keep asupply\nof snake-root and whiskey on hand in\ncase it should be needed.\nHAUNTED? '\nTkt Adjective Does Not Truly Apply to\nUaBS^ Deserted\nIn some parts of London we may come\nupon several forlorn and neglected looking houses, dirty, dilapidated, with every\nwindow broken, covered inside with\nb'ack dust and cobwebs\u00E2\u0080\u0094a very picture\nof decay and desolation. The poorer inhabitants of the neighborhood explain\nall tlris by styling them the \"Haunted\nHouses.\" They ore in Chancery, und, if\nhaunted, it is by the ghost of wasted\nlives, ot life long hopes never to be fulfilled, of lives that might have been useful arid glorious wasted in that sickening\nwait n/ for a settlement and a to-morrow\nthat never comes. Some houses which\nare credited with being haunted may perhaps, have gained that reputation though\nbeing what we may term deserted houses.\nThe owner takes a dislike to his bouse\nfor some reason or other, and will ncithor\nlive in it nor allow .any one else to do so.\nPerhaps the death of a beloved wife or of\nan only son or daughter has made it hateful to him; perhaps some hated scene in\nhis life has oecured there, aud he has\ndoomed it long before it came into his\npossession to be a deserted house when\nin his power | perhaps some (earful secret\nor undiscovered crime has mado his\nguilty conscience afraid to think of the\nhouse inhabited by human beings, Sucb\na deserted house becomes a ruin, a place\nof fear and trembling, and, known for\nmiles around ob the \"haunted house,\"\nis avoided by young and old.\nA dwelling place, and yet no habitation;\nA lioiiio, lint iiuilrri' somo prodigious baa .\nOfcxtrorrrrniilrlcilUou.\nO'er all there lirmg a shadow and a rear;\nA icuse of mystery tlio spirit daunted,\nAnil salil, n> plain as whisper In the oar,\nThe place In hsiintetll\nTo some minis, every old house is\nhaunted.

Mr. O'Donuell\nstrongly objects to being classed with\ndynamiters and murderers, and naturally looks to those who are perfectly\ncompetent to do so, to enmo forward\nand reful c tho accusations made against\nhim. That they do uot como forward\nvoluntarily, lest thoy may in some way\njeopardize tho Irish cause or oompru-\nmise some of their companions, ii not\nregarded by Mr. O'Donnell as a suf\nfioiont reason why he should not compel their attendance aB witnesses, and\nthere U wailing nnd gnashing of teeth\nin tho home rule ranks in cuiisiqueuce\nof this resolve to protect himtelf ut sny\ncost.
