Of course this reduced the profits of tbe cable companies, ao they began\nto make rules. Tbey refused to tram\nmit any combination of letter* unless It\nspelled on actual word. Then they limited tho number of languages they would\ntransmit. Tben they refused to take,\nproper names, unless the context showed\nthey were a proper part.\n'Ail this, of course, waa to make it eo\nhard to got up satisfactory and permanent cable codes that the merchant would\nbe compelled for safety's sake to resort\nto straight out and out discourse in f ran i\ning his messages. But as tbe difficulties\nincreased men began to make specialtief\nof devising Ingenious codes, and finally\nthe companies bad to come out flat footed\nand refuse to transmit messages In cipher.\nUf course this was a severe blow to trade,\nas a vast quantity of small b 'tints* could\nnol then be done, because ths oast of\ncabling about it cut off most of the even\ntual profit.\n- CaJUUB WAS VXBT ILL.\n\"But even then coda* were used, but\nof a curious sort In one that I know of.\nfor Instance, it was arranged that a certain large catalogue of common verbs,\nnouns, adjective* and prepositions should\nbe understood to have no meaning whatever. The cipher words were made up\noutside of this catalogue, and the exempted words wero used to fill In, giving\nIhe semblance of an actual, straight out\nsentence. Here was a sentence, for instance, that I cabled while a olerk in a\nshipping bouse\n'Can-la very Ul Tell Thomas prspar* nitrate:\nAnanias colni-: leleRiupl, Josephine.\n\"That looks innocent: yet thi* is whal\nit meant:\n'Carry\u00E2\u0080\u0094*t*rk*t on e.e of a sharp rise.\n\"Very\u00E2\u0080\u0094Buy for .lasmilatlon\nHI\u00E2\u0080\u0094No mftauiiiK\n*ToII\u00E2\u0080\u0094No masnliiu j\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Thomas -Ship at *aiil*\u00C2\u00ABt dispatch.\nPcepai,.

We\nare led, upon giving the matter further\nconsideration, to suggeBt that in the election which is shortly to take place in\nNanaimo and district, that no pledges be\nrequired from Ma. Haslem. Ourreasons\nfor such a suggestion are that having onee\ncarefully selected a candidate in whom\nwe thoroughly believe, a man utterly\nabove suspicion of entertaining interested\nmotives in his desire to enter the Legislature as our representative, that then\nhaving got such a candidate, it would be\nthe wiser plan to give him a \"free hand,\"\nrather than to shackle him with pledges\nand promises which circumstances yet\nunforeseen might make it both harmful to\nhis constituency, and derogatory to his\nself-respect to keep; but which as a man\nof honor he would have no choice bul to\nkeep. We would impress most strongly\nupon our readers that in such a country\nas iB this of British Columbia, where opposing parties have no sharply defined\nline of policy, but necessarily deal with\nmatters as they arise\u00E2\u0080\u0094a country in which\nwe firmly believe that for the most part\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094whichever side happens to be in power\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094that Bide endeavors, to the best of its\nability, to advance the general interests j\nwe say where this iact is admitted by all\nbut the strict partisan or the professional\npolitician, tbat our chief aim in selecting\nthe proper man is nol to choose the one\nfrom whom we are able to extract the\ngreatest number of promises. What\nhave such promises been worth in the\npast from, say\u00E2\u0080\u0094the member for Comox,\nbesides others we could name nearer\nhome? What we do want,\nhowever, is a man upon whom\nwe can rely to use his own judgment\nwisely and well, in the event of grave\nmatters of importance arising. A man\nwhose record is good. One whose\nstraightforward probity is questioned by\nnone. When such a man as this consents to become a candidate for Parliamentary honors, we contend that the\nfewer pledges he haa to give the better.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Nothing so fetters a man's hands as\npromise* given, which he may be unable\nto fulfil, or in the fulfilment of which,\nowing to altered conditions, he may be\nmaking a serious mistake. When we\nconsider all this, we are led lo the belief\nthat such a candidate as we have the\ngood fortune to possess in Mr. Haslem, would probably make a better and\nmore efficient public servant in every\nway, if his future course be left largely to\nhis own discretion, as to what he may\ndeem advisable when the right moment\nnriseB. We grant this \"no pledges\"\ncourse o\u00C2\u00A3 action can only be adopted towards exceptional men, but Euch a\none we feel that wo have got. We think\nwe have reason to believe that though as\nyet untried, Mr. Haslem has ability of a\nhigh order\u00E2\u0080\u0094the kind of ability that\nmakes a leader oi men. Further, we\nknow liim to be no adventurer, but the\npossessor of considelable interests in our\nimmediate neighborhood. Moreover,\nMr. Haslem is one of the most active\nand ambitious of our local captains oi\ncommerce. We can well understand the\nman with nothing eftse to fall back upon,\nwishing to get into iVrliament to subserve his own interests but what other\npurpose can a man haveUn devoting himself to legislative work/Vpther than that\nof the public good, when tfcat man pos-\nsesseB the advantages which we have\nenumerated in the case of *Mr. Haslem.\nParty wire-pullers invariably advocate\nthe drawing of sharp line* between\npolitical opponents. We hope ibis constituency will not blind itself ao the fact\nthat in this country\u00E2\u0080\u0094at least isi^M-nres-\nent condition\u00E2\u0080\u0094the great dssU^At h is\nthe man rather than the measure.; C laving obtained the former, we may rest\neasy as to the latter; and in this particular election to which we have reference we think the electors may rest ca\u00C2\u00ABy\nin the knowledge that they hare secured\nthe former.\nFIRST AID TO SUFFERERS.\nto volunteer to givo the necessary lectures and instruction, for of course it is\nto the medical man to whom we must\nturn for aid in this matter. And yet but\nvery little instruction would be needed in\norder to insure the saving ef many valuable lives in the course of a year. The\nloving ministrations of solicitous wife or\ntender mother, are but of slight avail\nwithout at least some small degree of\nspecial knowledge as to her patient's\ntreatment, a know ledge that is simply invaluable until the arrival of the doctor.\nNor is it to women only that our suggestion of forming such a class i9 made, We\nhave ourselves within the last four years\nseen two death9 occur, which we have\nevery reason to believe would not havo\nso occurred, had we possessed but the\nmost rudimentary idea of what treatment\nwas required. On describing the symptoms afterwards to a medical friend we\nwere told, \"Oh! you ought to havo done\nso and so, of course.\" However, we did\nnot \"do so and ao,\" owing to our ignorance ; and yet we have always felt that\nwith but tlie slightest modicum of skill\nand knowledge, those two lives would\nhave been spared, at least until the Buf-\nferers could have reached a duly qualified Doctor. We throw out this suggestion as we hear much talk of clubs\nnnd classes already, or about to be\nformed, having for their aim the pleasant whiling away of spare time, or the\ngaining of health by invigorating exercise. That our citizens of both sexe*\nwould find themselves amply repaid and\nthat shortly, if they would take up this\nmatter of a class to acquire at leaBt the\nrudimenla of how to render first aid, we\nfeel assured, and it is our sincere hope\nthat the matter may be taken up by\nsome of our more influential residents\nand made at once both popular and\nfashionable by those ladies who can\nspare the time joining in the movement.\nNotice of Partnership, j Canadian Pacifl.

If\nregard be had to the condition under\nwhich we now-a-days work, we consider\nthat a man who has been toiling all day\nin his shop or office is not. usually in a\nfit state, on bis arrival at home, to ait\ndown to a heavy meal, or even to one\nconsisting of a single dish, and that of\nmeat. There is probably not a man but\nwho has in his life experienced the distressing sensation of Bitting down to a\ndinner with a ravenous appetite, and\nfeeling, before five minutes were gone,\nthat his stomach was distended, and\nthat he was completely done up. When\na man is wearied, fatigued, or anxious,\nhis stomach is not in a fit condition to receive a hearty meal, and while at his dinner he ought to be resting. Now, if he\npreface his meal with some light gravy\naonp and a piece of stale bread, he will\nnot experience the unpleasant distention,\nfor the fluid will be rapidly absorbed,\nand distribute a feelingof warmth, comfort, and strength throughout his Bystem. If he next partake of fish, properly cooked, he will feel fresher and lighter,\nand be quite ready for the reception of a\nmoderate amount of meat; and I venture\nto say that tho man who has taken such\na meal will not only feel, but will be,\nbetter than he who has consumed half a\npound of eolid meat by itself. The one\nwill be able to amuse himself for the rest\nof thc evening, whereas the other will\nseek his sofa, or fall asleep in his armchair.\nAlex.

After fully investigating several cases, the Inspector came\nto the conclusion that in the majority of\ninstances the fault lay with outside country offices. In one case an oversight had\noccurred, whilst several were too far back\nto allow of thc fault being clearly traced\nhome. He, the Inspector, expressed to\nus his fullest confidence and belief in the\ncare exercised by Mr. Earle (Postmaster) in the delivery of mail matter, and\nassured us that any complaint made in 1 u\nture shonld he inquired into at once.

That is\nwhy your ancestors, tho argonauts, gave such\nilreudful names to theso towns\u00E2\u0080\u0094euch as\n\"Hnngtown,\" \"Murderers' Bar,\" \"Shirtail\nCauyon,\" and the like.

It is a luxury for a boy to wade\nthrough a mud puddle and soil his clothes\nwhen at homo ho lias Urn from first to last\nlicked into clean garment*, und tho flrst anc*\nlost thought associated with a pair of clean\npantaloons is bis mother's threat that if he Boils\nthem ho will bo punished. California gave her\nfirst settlers liberty to dress, talk and act in\nmany things about ns tbey pleased. Of course\nwhon men first have liberty in anything thoy\naro apt to abuse it, or rntiior make a bad uso\nof it. But liberty they've got to have some\nLimo or ot her before they can learn to mako a\nproper uso of it. You can't mako an expert\nhorseman unless you givo bim full liberty\nwith tho horse. Thnt is a very shaky kind of\ngoodness or virtue which always docs the\ncoinmondnblo Ihiug because somo ono else\nlaysit is the thing to do. That kind of goodness is very often deep down in tho depths\nwanting to do tho forbidden thing, but not\ndaring to do it for lack of opportunity.\nMany of your solid citizens of today, pillars of church, statu aud society, during\nthoir earlier years In California weut for\nthings forbidden in tho older states \"flat\nfooted.\" Thoy went for tho fandango, for\nfaro, for nioute, for tho bar\u00E2\u0080\u0094for anything\nand everything which tho Now England 9uu-\nfciy school suid was wrong. They went Sod\nsaw, und tried and tasted, and drank to the\niregs, and found tho cup bitter, and theeo-\niwiiiiii, wben footed up hi tho ledger of\nhealth, to bu a losing one, and being men of\njudgment, balance und common sense, they\nput away tho ovil thing once and for-\nsver, having satisfied themselves out of their\niiwu exporlonco that tho evil thing did not\npay, and tbey really wanted no moro of It.\nThoy could then pass tho gilded portals of\ndanger without caring to go in, and that is\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2tprobnbly moro than over they could have\ndono had they remained in the older states\nand trod nearly tho samo path their father.\ntrod.\nTHE MORAL IN IT.\nI believo thoroughly that It is far better\nf or ono to sin and sin in good earnest so es to\nknow tho evil that comes of it than not to sin\naud yet havo always a covert desire to do so.\nBorne of our very good girls and boys, both\nof smaller aud larger growths, covet a great\nileal. Thoy would dare toll no one, hardly\nthemselves. Tho result Is, I Imagine, that\nIhey may keep on covotlng and live covoting\nand dio coveting and go to glory coveting,\nand if it bo truo that there no thing can bo\nhid, and \"even to tbo teeth and forehead of\nour faults wo must givo iu evideuco against\nourselves\" wo may havo somo difficulty in\njotting within tho golden gates and getting\nour checks cashed at tho bank of otorual\nhappiness.\nBut this is n danger that the old seasoned\nargonaut who bos seen for himself and triad\nfor himself ueed not foar.\nIn other words tho 'forty-niners had a\nhotter chance to bo natural than in.tho older\nimmunities.

It was\nsuggested incidentally by listening to a colored man, Dick Milburn, known as \"Whistling Dick,\" who wandered about the city\nwhistling in imitation of a mocking bird, at\ntho same time strumming an aocompuniment\nupon the guitar. Struck by his remark nt-lo\nperformanco as a warbler Mr, W. said to\nhtm one day, half iu jest, \"Dick, I'll write\nyou * song for your mocking bird.\" The\ncompass of the colored man's voice- was\nhardly an octave, and, as will be observed,\nthe melody was made Very simple, bo as not\nto be beyond his reach. The words, \"Listen\nto the Ifocking Bird,\" which ran higher,\nwere to be spoken by him, not sung, except\nwhere they came within his compass, foi*\ntowed by the whistlers marvelous imitation\nof the bird.\nThe man was a very good natured fellow,\nbut of to little intellectual capacity that\nthough be came to Mr. Winners music store\nnight after night to learn the words of the\nlong, he was never able to master more than\none Terse of it. Such, however, was his\ntents of the comic and such his facility in im\nprovising lines to tho music, suggesting ridiculous fancies to attract the crowd, that, his\n\"Mocking Bird\" soon added greatly to Did: s\nlocal reputation. The song was published in\nballad form, and at once became very popular,\nand such is its hold upon the public fancy that\nalthough It has been sung and whistled und\nplayed the country over for an average lifetime, it still retains its place as a song of national reputation,\u00E2\u0080\u0094Philadelphia Record.\nAte Five Dot-Fin Raw E.fiW*\nA boiler maker named Howo astonished the\nepicures at Bcheffer & Ker linger \"s restaurant,\nBaltimore, by offering to bet $.\"\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 that he could\neat, without intermission, five dozen raw\neggs, shells and all. A doubting Thomas accepted the offer, and the freshest chicken\nfruit obtainable was placed bofore the boilor\nmakor. The latter, a hale and lusty mechanic.\nunbuttoned his vest und prepared for business. The first two dozen disappeared within\nhalf U hour, the eater apparently onjoyiug\nlilt meal. He was not so fresh getting away\nwith the third dosen, and took more time,\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0till swallowing the fourth. Ho kept at work,\nhowever; and Anally succeeded lu dispatching the last twelve, though not without on\neffort\nHis method was a peculiar one. Ho took\nup one egg after the other, and, after sucking\nIt dry, tossed the shell into his mouth, and,\nafter crunching it into powder, swallowed\nthat also. When he hnd (lulshed bis job he\ndrew from his pocket a beer bottle filled with\nalcohol, used In a spirit lamp, and drank\ndown ths fluid.

Ueorsre t'rcere Hniunc-il\nliook i.ukr.\nsi uini:\nOt Janies Malcolni, DsUag u Revolver\nto Slsoot Flies.\nJames Malcolm, a half-breed, aged 23\nyears, who has been on a protracted\nspree, suicided on Sunday evening by\nshooting himself with a large muzzle-\nloading revolver. Early on Sunday morn-\nin<* he returned home after a drunken\nspree, and requested his young brother,\nAndrew, to loan him his Winchester\nrifle as 'he wished to go berry picking\nand would like to have the weapon along\nwith bim. His brother refused and\nplaced the rifle in another room. Deceased broke open the door of the room,\nand after smashing the butt of the rifle,\n. presented and snapped the weapon at\nins younger brother. The weapon was\nfortunately not loaded. In the evening\ndeceased came to his home very drunk,\nand having procured u revolver commenced shooting around the house while\nlying on his bed. His father and brothers left the house, and after hearing four\nshots thev returned. W. Malcolm noticed\na smell of something burning, and opening the door of his brother's room, saw\nthe quilt on fire. He dragged the quilt\noff the bed and noticed that his brother\nwits dead, shot through the chest.\nDeceased was 23 years of age and married, though separated from his wife.\nTHE INQUEST.\nAn inquest was held yesterday morning before J. P. Planta, S. M., upon the\nbody of James Malcolm who came to his j\ndeath by shooting on Sunday evening.\nThe following jury was impannelled :\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nJ. Horner, (Foreman), A. Tranfield, T.\nDavies, J. Hampson, T. Hirst and D. G.\nDaley.\nThe jury repaired to Haliburton street\nto view the body, and was there sworn\nin.\nDr. Praeger, sworn, said I have seen\nthe deceased frequently during bis lifetime. He was dead when I saw him\nabout 9:4o on Sunday evening. I found\ndeceased lying on his back on a bed in a\nhouse on Nicol street. He was lying in\na small pool of blood which had flowed\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 -from a small wound situated in the middle of the chest about one inch above the\nnipple. There was a mark of scorching\non the body below the wound. He was\ncovered with a quilt that had a burnt\nhole in it. There were no other marks\nof violence on the body. Deceased was\non the bed when the shot was fired. The\nburned quilt indicates that the shot was\nfired quite close to him. The wousd\nwas sufficient to cause death. The appearance of the body leads me to believe\nthe deceased committed suicide. Revolver produced is the one I was shown, I\nwas also shown a bullet tbat was picked\nup.\nThe arms of deceased had evidently\nbeen adjusted before I saw the body. The\ndeceased had evidently been lying on tbe\nbed firing the piBtol, as there were markB\non the rafters where a bullet had struck.\nWilliam Malcolm, sworn, testified, I\nreturned home about 0:30 p. m. My\nbrother James was drunk. He started\nshooting round the house about (i :30 p.\nm., with the revolver produced. He\nsaid he was shooting at flies. He fired\nabout four Bhots while lying on his bed.\nI smelt the quilt burning and went into\nthe bedroom and saw the quilt on fire. I\npulled it off and found my brother wus\ndead.1 When I pulled the quilt off the\npistol fell to the ground. When James\nfirst entered the house he asked my\nbrother Andrew for the loan of his rifle,\nwhich was refused. He afterwards took\ni the rifle artd broke it on the floor.\nJohn Malcolm testified that his sons\nJames and Andrew had a row over a\nWinchester rifle. James took the rifle\nand snapped it at Andrew. James afterwards went to bed. I saw n bottle of\nrum standing on the table. James commenced firing off the pistol produced.\nI had the pistol under the blankets in\nmy bed in the morning.\nHe has done no good since his wife\nleft him. He has stayed with me for\ntwo years and during that time I have\nreceived nothing from him.\nAndrew Malcolm, sworn, said, when\nJames came home he struck me with a\nwhip and told me to get up. He wanted\nmy gun. I refused to lend it.

Ho (Mr.\nCiirmichael) says that he has thirteen\nmen at work, who are engaged in working five different claims. Two shafts are\ndown thirty-five feet on the \"Golden\nSlipper,\" with every indication of the\nrock bearing more of the precioitB\nmetal as the depth increases. Assays made from time to time he\nassures us are of a most satisfactory\nnature, though no large crushing has\nbeen done as yet. We understand that\nthe rest of tho claim-holders on the island are awaiting the result of the syndicate's enterprise; a not altogether wise\nproceeding on their part, we imagine, as\nif the syndicate should by any chance\n\"shut down,\" the market value of every\nledge on the island would be materially\ndepreciated. This would be most unfortunate, as we understand that many\nother claims, some of which are held by\nNanaimo men, are in all probability,\nquite as rich, if not richer, than the\nmuch-talked of \"Golden Slipper.\"\nBASEBALL.\nStan Island, June 9.\u00E2\u0080\u0094New York\nBoston 1, at Cleveland:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Cleveland 9,\nPittsburg 6, at Washington:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Washington 1, Philadelphia,3, at Chicago:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Chicago 4, Indianapolis 3, iu 1st game, at\nChicago: 3, Indianapolis 2, 2nd game.\nAt Brooklyn:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Brooklyn 7, LouiBville 5,\nat Philadelphia:\u00E2\u0080\u0094AthleticB 8, Kansas\n3, at Baltimore:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Baltimore 1, St. Louis\n9, at Columbus:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Cincinnati posponed\non account of rain.\nSHIPPING NEWS.\nTenders are invited up to the 17th inst.\nat 12 a. m., for the erection of three six-\nroomed tenement houses with outhouses\nand fencing, for Arthur Bullock, Esq., on\nAlbert and Selby streets.

In an incredibly\nshort Bpace of time a full muster of our\nvolunteer brigade was at the engine\nhouse.but with in n very few minutes from\nthe time of the alarm word was brought\nthat the flames merely proceeded from a\nbush-fire between the boy's school and\nthe old Douglas shaft. There was a high\nwind blowing at the time, which rendered\nthose who heard the bell doubly anxious\nfor a short time. We would like to add\na word of caution 'to persons setting fire'\nto brushwood within or near to the city\nlimits. They should remember Vancouver and the origin of its destruction.\n *. *\nCapsized in the Bay.\nJohn Honeymnn while out sailing in\nthe bay yesterday, was capsized in a\nsquall.
