It ws. a gro-\n'.i-ijiie if not. a ludicrous scene, and\noccurred during the period of i.iy\n\"walkiiig the hiHpititls,\" as it ia called,\nwhich occupied the two seasons iin-\niiiet'iately fever my leaving Cambridge.\nA young, and rather interesting female\nwas minlilted a patient at the hospital\nI Rtte.iu'ed; her case baffled all onr skill\nand herayiiiptotiis evu,i defied diMDOaif.\nNow, it seemed an enlargement of the\nheart-now, an ossificaJo.i-- then this,\nilmt, and the other; and, at, Inst, it was\nplftin we knew nothing at all about the\nmatter\u00E2\u0080\u0094HO, not even wln-ilier her dis\nolder was organic or functional,\np.ii.i\u00C2\u00BBry or symptomatic - or whether\niv was ieully the heart that was at\nfault. She received no benefit at all\nunder the fluctuating schemes of trent-\nr.ieiK we pursued, and, at length, fell\ninm dying cireuniHti\.ice3. As soon as\nher ii'ieiu'.s were apprised of her situation, and Inn! an nikling of our intention to open the body, ihey insisted on\n^\u00E2\u0080\u00A2moving her Immediately from the\nhospknl, that she might \"i!ie at home.\"\nIn vain did Sir\u00E2\u0080\u0094nnd his dreeser* n\npostulate vehemently with them, and\n.ep.'esent, in exaggerated terms, the\nimminent peril attending such a step.\nHer two brother* avowed their apprehension of our designs, and were\niiillexi'ile in exercising their right of\nroi.iovi.ig their sisier. I used ail my\nrhetoric on the occasion, hut in vain;\na.id, at last, said to ihe young men.\n\"Well, if you are afraid only of our\ndissec.ing her, we can get hold of her,\nif we are to disposed, as easily if she\ndio wi.li you as wi.h ub.\"\n\"Well\u00E2\u0080\u0094we'll /;.;;\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 that, master,\" replied the elder, while his Herculoao\nfist oscillated somewhat significantly\nhd'ore i.iy eye.. The poor gii 1 was removed accordingly to nerfaiher'l bouse\nwhich wm at a certain village, about\nfive mile* from Loudon, and survived\nher arrival scarcely ten i.ii.iulesl We\nsoon contrived to receive intelligence\nof the even*; and as I and Sir 'a\ntwo dressers hud tr.ken great interets\nin the cose througnout, and felt interne\ncuriosity about the real nuturo of the\ndisease, we met together and entered\ninto a solemn compact, that, ooiuo what\nmight, we world have her h.idy out of\nthe ground. A trusty tpy informed us\nof the time and exact place of the girl's\nburial; and ou expressing to Sir\t\nour determination, about the matter, he\npatted me on tho back, saying. \"Ah,\nmy line fellow.\u00E2\u0080\u0094IP you havo spirit\nenough\u00E2\u0080\u0094diuigerous,\" Ac,, Ac, Was it\nnot skilfully said. The baronet further\ntold us, he felt himself so curious about\nthe matter that if fifty pounds would\nbe of use to us in furthering our pur\npose, they were at our service. It\nneeded not this, nor a glance at the\neclat with which the successful issue\nof the affair would bo attended among\nour fellow-students, to spur our re-\nsol re*\nTlie notable scheme wa\u00C2\u00AB finally adjusted at my room* in the Borough.\nM and E , Sir '* dressers,\nand myself, with an experienced \"grab\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is to say, a professional resurrectionist\u00E2\u0080\u0094were to set off from the\nBorough about nine o'clock the next\nevening\u00E2\u0080\u0094which would bo the third\nday after the burial\u00E2\u0080\u0094in a glasa coach\nprovided with all \"appliance* and\nmeans to boot.\" During the day,\nhowever, bur friend, the grab, suffered\nso severely from an overnight's exces*\nas lo dissappoint us of his invaluable\nassistance. This unexpected contretemps\nnearly put an end to our project; for\ntlie few other grabs we knew, were\nabsent on professitntl tours/ Luckily,\nhowever, I bethought lue of a poor\nIrish porter\u00E2\u0080\u0094a sort of \"ne'er-do-weel\"\nhanger-on at the hospital\u00E2\u0080\u0094whom I had\nseveral times hired to go on errand*.\nThis man I sent for to my rooms, and,\nin tho presence of ray two coadjutors,\npersuaded, threatened, and bothered,\ninto acquiescence, promising him half-\na-guinea, for hia evening's work\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nas much whisky as he could drink prudently. Aa Mr. Tip\u00E2\u0080\u0094thai was tho\nname he went by\u00E2\u0080\u0094had some personal\nacquaintance with the tick grab, he\nsucceeded in borrowing his chief tool*;\nwith which, in a sack large enough to\ncontain our expected prize, he repaired\nto my rooms about nine o'clock, while\nthe coach was standing at the door.\nOur Jehu had received a qpiet douceur\n\t\nI:\nI addition to the hire of himself arid\ncoach.

The\nweather had been exceedingly capricious\nall the evening \u00E2\u0080\u0094 moonlignt, rain,\nthunder, and lightning, fitfully alter\nnating. The only thing we (\u00E2\u0080\u00A2**<\nanxious about was the darkness, to\nshield us from all possible observation.\nI must own, that, in analyzing the\nfeelings that prompted me io undertake and go through with thi\u00C2\u00BB affair,\nthe mere love of adventure operated\nquite aa powerfully as the wish to\nlienefit the cause of anatomical science.\nA midnight expedition to the tombs!\nIt took our fancy amazingly; and then\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Sir '\u00C2\u00BB cunning hint about the\n\"danger\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094and our \"spirit!\"\nThe garulou* Tip supplied us with\namusement all the way down\u00E2\u0080\u0094rattle,\nrattle, rattle, incessantly; but as soon\nas we had arrived at that part of the\nroad where we were to stop, and caught\nsight of\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094church, with its hoary\nsteeple\u00E2\u0080\u0094glistening in the fading moonlight, as though it were standing sentinel over the graves around it, one of\nw Inch we were going so rudely to violate\u00E2\u0080\u0094Tip's spirit began to alter a little.\nlie said little \u00E2\u0080\u0094and that at intervals.\nTo be very candid with the reader none\nof us felt over much at our ease. Our\nexpedition began to wear a somewhat\nlrerebrained aspect, and to be environed with formidable contingencies\nwhich we had not taken sufficiently\ninto our calculations. What, for instance, if the two stout fellows, the\nbrothers, sliould be out watching their\nBister's gravel They were not likely to\nstand on much ceremony with us. And\nthen tlie manual difficulties! E\u00E2\u0080\u0094was\nthe only one of us that liad ever assisted\nat the exhumation of a body- and the\nrest of us were likely to prove but\nbungling workmen. However, we had\ngone too far to think of retreating. Wo\nnono of us spoke our suspicious, but the\nsilence that reigned within the coach\nwas tolerably significant. In contemplation, however, of some such contingency, we had put a bottle of brandy\nin the coach pocket; and before we\ndrew up, had all four of us drunk\npretty deeply of it. At length, tho\ncoach turned down a by-lane to the\nleft which led directly to the churchyard wall;and after moving a few steps\ndown it, in order to shelter our vehicle\nfrom the observation of highway\npassengers, the coach stopped, and the\ndriver opened the doorl\n\"Come Tip,\" said I, \"out with you.\"\n\"Get out, did you say sir? To be\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ure I will\u00E2\u0080\u0094Och! to be sure I will.\"\nBut there woa small show of alacrity\nin iiis :. nam its as he descended the\nI. -]is: for, while 1 was speaking, I was\ninterrupted by the solemn clangor of\nthe church clock announcing the hour\nof mid light.

It wa*\nof no use, however. Hi* reluctance increased every moment\u00E2\u0080\u0094and it even\ndifprited us. I verily believe the turning of a 6traw would have decided u*\nall on jumping in tho coach again, and\nreturning home without accomplishing\nour errand. Too many of the, students\nhowever, were apprised of our expedition for us to think of terminating\nit so ridiculously.

It wnuld\nreally seem us if there was a conspiracy\nin existence to repress the. growth and\nprogress of this young, but rapidly rising town, and to damage it and its\nresident* in every meanly possible way.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 The conspirators, too, n.re so circumstanced that, if they had common sense\nenough to comprehend what was to\n'their own true interests, if they had\nany manliness and souho of justice, to\nsay nothing of generosity, they would\nheartily endeavor to promote the welfare of the place, instead of retarding\nit Port Moody has been grossly\nmaligned to the ears of strangers and\nHa interests shamefully neglected, or\nopenly opposed, by that curious little\norganization known as the Government\nof British Oolumliin, by the people of\nVictoria, those of Kew Westminster,\naud indeed on almost every hand, so far\na* our nearer neighbors are to be\nconsidered. It ia a paltry and contemptible spirit of jealousy which\ncauses thi* procedure. The latest of\nthese nasty littlo attempts may be\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 stated thus: There is a certain Naviga-\n. Uon Jompany, having its principal\nbeing in the village of Victoria, and\nwhich is popularly known as the \"Forty\nThieves.\" This association of large\nminded business men have managed to\nsecure an aliuoBt absolute monopoly of\nthe Btoainer traffic of this province; and\nalmighty airs they have been putting\non since they secured it! Such a \"riding of tbe high horse,\" such an imposition of* extortionate charges, such a\n. dotnineering over customers, havo seldom been witnessed; and there are few\nplaces In the world where they would\nbe tolerated. The members of tliis\ncompany probably appreciated the fact\nthat their time was short, and that they\nmust make the most of it; but they\nhave accepted tho fact with a very lied\ngrace. Of late, they have practically\nall but closed the navigation of the\nFraser between New Westminster and\nYale. But there was the railroad between Port Moody and Yale gradually\napproaching completion, so as to bo\nsoon practicable for purposes of traflic.\nSo, now tho report is that an attempted\nnegotiation has been, or is being, mado\nbetween them and Mr. Onderdonk, by\nwhich the latter is only to allow his\ntrains to run from Yale and the Fraser\ncrossing above it, down to a spot on the\nFraser calledVort Hammond\u00E2\u0080\u0094because,\nwe suppose, there is no port there.\nThere the company's steamers are to be\nexpected to connect with the trains. If\nthis little arrangement could be achiov-\ned, it would lead to two results, both\nof them very desirable according to the\nwishes of its projectors. This place\ncalled Port Hammond, in which a number of them are largely interested, would\nderive very great benefit. On the other\nhand, Port Moody, which tliey would\nUtterly destroy if they could, would be\nproportionately injured. This cunning\nlittle Bchome, however, has not yet\nbeen projected; and it is never likely so\nto be. It would be an outrage upon\nhonesty and decency\u00E2\u0080\u0094a shameless vio\nlation of every principle of right. Doubt-\niisa the many enemies of Port Moody\nwould exult immensely over their little\nt.-iumph;although at best it could be but\na brief and temporary one. But this is\na case in which the schemers have literally counted without their host It\nis a wholly incredible thing - too much\nfor anybody to believe\u00E2\u0080\u0094that tho Canadian Government would permit the\ncarrying out of this projjet for the\ndamaging of the very place they have\nthemselves selected, and are resolved\nto retain, as the terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway. And let it not\nbe supposed for a moment, that they\nhavo not the power, as well as tho will,\nto prevent it, or to put an immediate\nstopper upon any attempt to effect such\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 nefarious little job. There is no difficulty about that. By one ot the\nterniB of the contract with Mr. Onderdonk\u00E2\u0080\u0094a condition not perhaps generally known\u00E2\u0080\u0094the Government have retained the power of taking out of the\ncontractor's hands, any section, or portion of the railway, at any time when\nIt is in a condition to be practically\noperated, in order, of course, to throw\nit open fo- traffic. 8uch is the condition of that portion of the railroad from\nthe wharf, at Port Moody, to Port\nHammond. Train* hare Iwen running\nover it for month* past -and heavily\nfreighted trains, too. The Government\nhave but to give Mr, Onderdonk a bint\nth.it he it not to take part in any tuch\n\"dodfja\" 03 that above described. He\nwill Mud it immensely to his advantage\nto accept tin- hint promptly; other* it-\nhe will Snd himself under the necessity\nto accept another condition of allium\nnot at all to his advantage.\nTHE LAND GRABBING.\n[Pr.in tli. U.lol.ad QuBrulso.l\nWhat are the people ol this province\ndoing towards staj ing ihe progress of\nthe land-grabbing fever? We are not\naware of any effort being made io prevent every eligible acic in the country\nbeing grabbed by adventurers or ihosc\nwho desire lo make corners in agricultural land, tiuibcr or minerals. The\nremarkable part of the matter is, that\nihe malady should have broken out\nunder the present 'ocal administration,\nand that the land grabbers arc principally composed of ihe honest John party\nor his friends. It may be a coincidence\nor it may be from knowledge which\nenables many of the land seekers to ask\nand be ceruin of a favorable reply.\nHowever it may be, the fact remains\nlhat the people's lands are being given\naway, literally for nothing, because, except for actual settlers, who confer a\ncertain advailge on the commonwealth\nby their induyry, one dollar per acre\nfor agricultural, mineral and timber\nlands, is a mere bagatelle. There is no\nargument in the world can palliate the\nconferring of lands on specularors at a\ndollar per acie, and the delivery of the\nfee simple at such a price is the purest\npublic robbery. All the members in\nthe House are perfectly aware of the\nshameful transactions, yet not one has\nventured lo remonstrate\u00E2\u0080\u0094a peculiar\ncircumsance taken in connection wiih\nthe fact rhat applications for land have\nnever reached anything near the present extent under any previous Government. If there was any excuse for giv-\ninglhe land io foreign speculators, there\nmight be some \u00E2\u0080\u00A2.xlenuaiion. If, for\ninstance, ihey opened the land on favorable erms to settlers; if they erected\nsaw-mills and gave our mechanics employment ; if they opened and worked the\nmines, confining iheir business in connection with the mines to this province,\nthere might be some laint shadow of a\nreason for excluding our own people\nfrom the profits resulting. But when\nwe know that these foreigners secure\nthe land to hold for high prices, the\nlimber to sell to our saw mills at a\ngrcarly enhanced value on previous rates,\nbecause they will only sell when the\nprofits are large, in relation to the\nmines, it is well known that all the supplies, tools and labor will be obtained\nultimately from the United Slates, although io keep up appearances for a\ntime, something will be done with our\ntraders and anizans It is equally well\nknown that he intention is to smuggle\nthe the metal taken out, into the United\nStates, as it could not be made to pay\nif brought through this country. The\nsaving in carriage, duty, etc., will enable\nthem to bribe hcai ily, so lhat a few of\nour people will gel rich on corruption\nwhile the rest aie being robbed and\nimpoverished. The fell example has\nhad its due effect on some of our own\npeople, who are endeavoring to feather\ntheir nests during the present happy\njuncture, by means of monop dies, and\nmuch scheming is going forward, some\nof them evidently having the inside\ntrack. Monopolies, no matter by whom\nachieved, are like certain paiasitical\nplants that destroy the vegetation on the\ntrees lo which '.hey cling. 1 hey are like\nleeches on the human frame, sucking\nthe life-blood wherever they fasten.\nThey are always a misfortune, and\nshould be destroyed whenever they are\ndetected.\nA SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE.\n[From tbo Malnl.nd Guardian,]\nWc learn from honest John's paper,\nand, of course, from ihe very best source,\nthat the contract for the construction of\nthe False Creek road has been awarded\nto Messrs. McDougall brothers, and that\nthe work will be commenced without\ndelay: the contract price is upwards of\ntwelve thousand dollars. Our readers\nare aware that the road will be of no\nearthly advantage to this city; that ihe\nroad really required is ihe road to Port\nMoody, which would be an immediate\nbenefit 10 us. They know that the loc.il\nGovernment has imposed enormous\ntaxes on Port Moody under false | re-\ntences, and lhat, consequently, the Government is treating this civ and vicinity\nwith marked injustice and oppression.\nThat a great effort has been made to\nutilize a porlion of New Westminster\nand Port Moody proposed railway to\nmake a line to Coal harbor, by a ring\nwell known in this city, in order to\nivert the traffic from us. The object\nis unquestionable; they are endeavoring\nto kill this ci y, and honest John is\ndoubtlessly at the head of it. Who is\nthis man, who dares to trample on the\nrights of our ci izens f He may have a\nfiendish delight in revenging himself for\nihe adverse opinion of himself entertained in this city, but it seems rather\nimpudent lo attempt to rob us of our\nproperty and continue to publish his\npaper here at our expense. Our citizens\nshould remember the fact that his paper\nis now remarkable for its bitterness in\nreferring to anything or anyone connected with the city; lhat it advocates\neverything that is opposed to our in er-\nesis, and that the longer we support and\nharbor an enemy in our midst, the\nlonger its injurious influence will tell\nagainst ourselves.\nBRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.\n[From th. Jl.liil.od OnsrdlsB.]\nThere is probably no more contemptible being in cxisence lhan the man\nwho cheats a constituency into electing\nhim and sells himself to the highest\nbidder. There are, of course, men so\nconstituted as to believe ihey are doing\na smart thing in making money afcr\nthis dirty la&hion. They have no sense\nof honor, decency or fair play; they\nwould rob a child of its bread and butter,\nan 1 laugh at ils tears. They are the\nstepping stones to monopolies: ihey enable land-grabbers to secure the public\nproperty. If these miserable wretches\npretending to represent honest men,\nwere annihilated, we should have honest\nlegislation; but, like distasting parasites\n?.s they are, they not only rob iheir fellow mortals, but arc the cause of more\nvice than any other class. It is by\nmeans cf such tools that Vanderbilts.\nGoulds and Uunlingtons, make their\nmillions; ihey lie down lhat these greedy\nrailway men may walk over them to rob\nthe puolic. The revelations afforded\nby the publication of Huntington's loiters shows clearly that the United Stales\niscompiete'y in their grasp. The people\nmay declaim and threaten revolution,\nbut they are bound as firmly in the grasp\nof Huntington and his colleagues as if\nIhey were in fetters. He can buy Con\ngrcssmen, Senators, newspapers, telegraphs, and even public opinion. What\ncan Ihe peop'o do against this ? They\nare supposed to have a government\nwhich is supposed to be guided by ihe\nrepresentatives e'ected and sent to Ihe\nlegis'a ure by the people. And so it is,\nbut it is guided entirely in ihe interest of\nihe railway magnates. Men who don't\nknow whnt they are talking about, denounce Kings, Kaisers and aristocracy;\nif they could be all be levelled down\nto-day, to morrow the people would all\nbe in the hands of railway men. Just let\nus glance at the manner in which these\nvampires suck the very heart's blood\nfrom the people. A d. zen of them gel\ntogether and pool their fundi. They\nthen project a railway and hire ihe press\nto crack it up arid show its absolute\nnecessity for the section of country\nthrough which it runs; then they buy\nup the Congressmen and Senators, by\nwhom a bill is passed, conferring millions upon millions of acres of the\npeople's lands upon these adventurers.\nThe railway is built, and ri\u00C2\u00ABes like a\ngreat snake lo devour the people whose\nlands have nourished it intolifc. Settlers\nbuy ihe lands on the margin of the rail\nway, and from that moment become the\nbondsmen of the company. These monopolists take care to control the traffic\nin suchwisc, that if they sec their serfs\nmaking too much money, they immedi\nately impose an additional rate for the\ncarriage of farm produce. If an oppo-\nsi ion line is constructed, it is only to be\nrun by a second set of thieves, who, if\nthey are too strong to be run off by the\nfirst company, are allowed to come in\nand share the plunder: ihe bondage of\nthe people is only made more irksome\nby the intrusion of those who pretended\nto serve ihem. We, poor innocent souls\nin British Columbia, believed we were\nin a kind of paradise, in which nothing\nof a disreputable character could be perpetrated We used to hold up the people\nof the United States to ridicule, as people who believed they were free, but\nwere only deceiving themselves, and\nboasting of our own freedom from corruption. That was before we elected\nhonest John. Since lhat time we have\npassed the Kootenay bill for account of\nAmericans: and the touters of the bill\nwere allowed to walk about the floor of\nihe House and hold whispered communication with the members I Since then\nwe have passed the Settlement bill, by\nwhich we make over the whole island,\nto whom? to Crocker, Stanford and\nHuntington, who are exposed in these\nletters recently published, for the \u00E2\u0080\u00A2grossest and most bare-faced corruption. It\nis a strange coincidence that no sooner\nwas honest John made a member of the\nGovernment, than these American cor-\nruptionists flocked to this province by\nthe dozen, and have succeeded wonderfully well. They were very liberal, and\nthe members, or a good many of them,\nlook upon them as fine fellows. It is a\nvery sad period in the history of this\nprovince, and will always be remembered by honest men, with shame.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThe Stumpage Act, to be introduced by\nMr. Suiithe, requires all persons desirous of\ncutting timber from public lauds, to take\n.it a license; the rate per acre, or per tree,\nis not yet fixed. The applicant must stake\noff and describe his claim, and then advertise it, PineB for non-oompliance, fire to\nfive hundr id dollars. A return of the number of troes cut must be sent in every three\nmonths. The Crown officers may seize and\nsell any timber out unlawfully. This is not\ntho first attempt to make the saw-mills pay\nfor the timber they stole from the pooplo,\nbut hitherto without success. The bill will\nno doubt be rendered of little or no use for\nthe purpose desired, but if ihe bill is passed\nat all, it will be the thin end' of the wedge\nintroduced.\nAmotbxb attempt a* legislating about\nland has been made by the honest John Qov-\nernineot, in which there ar* two privileges\nasked from the people: first, the power to\nsell up to 640 acres, to speculators, aud to\nmake that palatable, two dollars and a half\nper acre is to he charged. We need not\njioint out, that, under these provision*, a\n.peculator may eaaily acquire twenty thousand acre*, and the beet timber or miueral\nland* in the province. Very littlo espouse\nwill inform tile desiring purchaser of wliat he\nis gettinj; in the lands asked for, and no\npower rest, with llovemnient to control\nhim after he has secured the fee simplui this\nho doc* ss soon as thu survey is completed,\nwhich will aRord all the facility he could\ndesire. The people should refuse to place in\nthe hands of Government power to sell\nmure than 100 acres to any one person, ami\nat not less than live dollar:, per acre. Of\ncourse a great many quarter si-ctions may In,\nsecured by the ssme man, as they can be\npurchased in different names, and subsequently transferred, but it will impede land-\ngrabbing, and the Government and the temporary agents will get something out of th.\nmonopolist.\nOur local cotem., in his last issue, states\nthat he does not represent New Westminster,\nbut tho entire Province. It would lie well\nfor our citizens w ho have a real interest\nin the Hoyal ('.ity, to give him the advantage\nof being supported by his extensively scattered readers, and bestow the littlo support\nthey have hitherto accorded him, on the\n(iUAKMAN, the only New Westminster paper.\nWo know that honest John would like to see\nthis city nnd Port Moody sunk beneath the\nflowing tide for twonty-fonr hours. Ho liaH a\ndeep and abiding hatred for New Westminster, and will throw every impediment in\nthe way of its progress that he possibly can.\nOca readers may romember that after\ntho celebrated dinner at which Mr. Smitho\ndistinguished himself, tho Chicago Trioune\nstated, yj ithout hesitation, that several names\nwere attached to the document asking the\nUuited Slates to annex us, anil amongst that\nnumber was the name of Mr. Kobson. Now,\nMr. Kobson made no remarks tbat could be\noiTousive to our Amcricau visitors, so that\nthey had no reason to single out Mr. Kobson\nrather than Mr. Smithe, who had olfendcd\nthem. We may be quite sure that a re*\nspectable journal, holding the position of the\nChicago Tribune, would not make tnch a\nstatement ft ithout the most undoubted proof.\nIt may be remeinliered that when this paper\nexpressed its determination to publish'the\nlist of wuuld-he annexationists, that the\nColonlft appealed to us in a deprecatory tone\nexpressing it .elf sure lhat we would not publish tho list i that alter a period It expressed\nitself delighted that wo had derided to publish the list, and hoped we would get it\nsoon. Our readers can perfectly comprehend\nthe serious position in which it would have\nSlaced the persons who signed the precious\nocumeut, and the natural des: ro to esiape\nfrom such a serious charge. They can also\ncomprehend that n desire from this government would prevent tho document 1 ouig\"-:x-\nhibitcd, ami so allow thorn to boast that tliey\nnever signed the paper. Wo have no objection to the device\u00E2\u0080\u0094it is only natural they\nshould adopt it\u00E2\u0080\u0094hut if they think they can\nconvinco tho public by nicro assertion, they\nare grievously mistaken. The stigma will\nremain and often bo referred to when the\nnames of tho porsons signing the annexation.\nist document are referred to.\nProbably the best criterion by which to\njudge the prosperity and progress of a district, is the amount deposited in the Savings\nHank. The deposits in this form are greater\nat Victoria than in this city, but if wc\nanalyze the deposits, wc shall find that iu\nVictoria, capitalists aro glad to make tour\nper cent, on as much of their capital as the\nDominion Government will permit them to\nhold at call, whercxs in this city the deposits\nare for tho most part by settlers and farmors.\nDeposited in our bank, from July\n1st, 183.1, to 31st Dec, 1883. $154,294.00\nWithdrawn during same period, 103,115.70\nDue depositors, Dec. 31st, 1883, 344,447.00\nWe defy any savings bank in the Dominion\nto show such a return with alike population. The causes aro well known; the soil is\nmost productive, the eliiuato is mild anil\nhealthy, the people aro frugnl and don't\nbother themselves much with politics. The\nprices paid fur agricultural products arc\nsueh as to leave a very large profit, and the\ncompetition is nothing at all, owing to the\nsmall amount of immigration. Of course,\nas rapidly aa we get new settlers, so will a\ncertain percentage of the profits decline; but\nthe fact la that wu want more help to induce\nour farmers to cultivate more land, and so\nshut out more foreign produce.\nCONSTITUTIONAL REVISION IN\nFRANCB.\nT'.td first important political news that\ntho new year brings from Europe relates to\nthe Fkrky scheme for tho revision of the\nFrench Constitution. According to a tole-\ngram from Paris the principal changes proposed by the present Ministry will be the\nsubstitution of the scrutin de liste for the\nsrrutin d'arrondissrment, aud the aliolitiiin of\ntho office of Life Senator. It is said that\nthe llight, reversing the course which it pursued on a provious occasion, will support\nthe fanner proposition, while the sacrifice of\nthe Life Senators is manifestly intended to\nconciliate the advanced Radicals. Nevertheless, the Jerry Cabinet will be singularly\nfortunate if it survives the crisis which the\ndiscussion of -hese and associated questions\nis certain to provoke.\nIt ia now nearly two years .ince the so-\ncalled Grind Ministry of Gambktta was\noverthrown at the outset of a career from\nwhich much had been expected, because it\ninsisted on the very change in the method of\nelecting the Chamber of Deputies which M.\nJui.es Kerry, it is said, feels himself Btroug\nenough to carry out. The argumont for the\ncontemplated electoral reform are no stronger\nnow than they were then, and it is the same\nChumher of Deputies whose members will\nbe once more called upon to strip thduiaelves\nof the locrl influence which the present system of voting has given them. It was just\nas true in 1882 as it is now that under the\nexisting law, which allows each arrondisse-\nment to send a representative to the popular\nbranch of the Legislature, the construction\nof a stable majority professing definite political principles is extremely difficult in\nFrance.\nNo difficulty of the Bort is experionced in\nthe United States or in the United Kingdom, although the method of choosing the\nmembers of our House of Representatives is\nidentical v. ith the *rrtitin iVarrondisseenient,\nwhile the mode of electing tlie House of\nCommons docs not differ from it materially.\nWe can see, however, that if the Congressmen allotted to a given State were nominated at a Stcte Convention and voted for on a\nState, ticket, like the Presidential electors,\nit w oul.l bo much easier for tbe party leaders\nto designate and control them. Such a system would he perfectly legitimate in this\ncountry, not being prohibited bv the Federal\nConstitution, but it would not bo sanctioned\nby the people liecause for many years party\norganization has been firm enough without\nit. Indeed, we hare sometimes suffered\nfrom an excess of coherenco and a too rigorous effaccment of individual independence.\nIn France, on the other hand, not with\nstanding the fitful experiments of the last\nninety-five years, representative Institutions\nare by no moans deeply rnolod, and the efficient working of t hem by party inacumory\nhss yet to b* attained. What has trammelled and at more than ono juncture paralysed\ntlie legislative ructions of the Chamber of\nDeputies under the present regime, lias been\nthe absence of thst spirit of toleration and\ncompromise snd thst habit of cooperation\nwhich are indispensable to the efficiency anil\neven to the exi.teuce of parties, Thu ten-\ndew y lo disintegration, the propensity\nevinced by each Deputy to subordinate th*\ngravest national concerns to the petty interests of bis ow n constituency, reached its\nseme is thu summer of 1882, when the\nChamber flung away the influence which\nFrance hio'. assiduously built up in Egypt,\nand overthrew M. he FltKYcrvKr ostensibly\nl\u00C2\u00ABcausc he asked for a money grant, insignificant beside tho sums which lias since lec-u\nlavished upon Touquiu, but really because\nlie failed to sati\u00C2\u00BBfy the demands lor patron-\nage with which he was besieged hy protended patriots.\nIt was the ruin of French prestige in Egypt\nand the Levant which opened the eyes of the\nFrench people to the difficulty of governing\nwith a Ministry representing the fluctuating\nmajority of a body composed as is tlie pros-\nent Chuinlier ol I iepiiticx. llepubtican opinion haa accordingly undergone a marked\ntransformation with reference to tho method\nof electing Deputies. Nor is there any reason to suppose that the reactionists opposed\ntlie scrutin de lisle two years ago from any\nvehement objection to the system itself. So\nlong as the change was advocated by Gam-\nbetta, it was their cue to resist it iu the\nhope of breaking down the man whom they\nregarded ss the mainstay of the republic.\nThe strength of the reactionists is concentrated in particular departments, and they\nare not unlikely to gain more than they will\nlose by a provision that all ths Deputies for\ns given department shall lie voted for on one\nticket. There is nothing improbable, therefore, in the report that the Might will concur\nwith the Ministerialists in demanding the\nscrutin de lists. M. Jui.E\u00C2\u00AB Fkkry is not so\ngreat a man that the enemies of the republic\nshould think it needful to ruin him at sny\noost. On the contrsry, he is much less objectionable to them than many of the other\nRepublican leaders, and his aversion to taking harsh measures against the dynastic\nfamilies has evon caused him to be charged\nwith secretly furthering the interest of the\n< 'route UK I',', I.I-.\nRut whilu the present Gambcttist Cabinet\nhas a better chatice than Gambstta himself\nhad of obtaining the scrutin the liste, thuro\nare other questions connected with the project of constitutional revision thst may give\nthorn much trouble. Few Republicans, indeed, are likely to defend the offiue of Life\nSenator, for which they are indebted to thu\nreactionary element of the Versailles Assembly. But will M. Friiky undertake to define\nand limit beforehand the subjects to be discussed in the Constitutional Convention! It\nis very doubtful whether sueh restrictions\nwould be binding ou the joint convention of\nthe two Houses, and the attempt to impose\nthem was the pretext, although not the real\ncause of Gamiiktta's downfall. If on the\nother hand, the advene ed Radicals arc to bo\nat liberty to advocate tho most sweeping reforms of tho Constitution, a long anifexcitcd\nsession of the Convention may be looked for,\nin the course of which some unforeseen pro-\nfrosal or some unexpected combination of\nactions may overthrow the Ministry.\u00E2\u0080\u0094New\nYork Suit.\nTho German Minister of Public Instruction intends to add to the Rcrlin\nUniversity a dental institute, the plan*\nof which huve been submitted to the\nmedical faculty.\nFrance gives her Ambassadors thrice\nuBmuchnsBhe gives her Cabinet Ministers, and Germany does likewise.\nKngland also pays tier Ambassadors\nconsiderably more than any member of\nthe Cabinet.\nAt Kolendreck on the Rhine, a guest\ncut down and saved a waiter who hud\njust hanged himself.

AcoIpknt.\u00E2\u0080\u0094On tho evening of\nSaturday last, about 11 o'clock, whilst a\ntrain waa delivering rails, up at tho front of\ntho works, near the Mission, there was a run\noff the track, by which conductor Dioki*.\nWas seriously injured. In tho following\n(Sunday) morning, a locomotive ran down\nto fort Moody,, through which means a tele-\ngraph message was B.mt to Dr. Trcw, at\nNew Westminster, calling on him to attend\nto the casf. The doctor promptly repaired\nto the scene of the disaster, via Port Moody\nand the railway, and did what was necessary\nunder the circumstances.\nIt is outrageous how the pcoplo of this\ntown are being used about the opening of\nthat new L'larku road. For some time past,\nwe have been virtually cut off from the outside world. It is true that the stage coaches\nmay, aud we believe do, still run to tho end\nof the North road, but there U now no ferry\nboat running from that point up to tbo town\nproper. It is known that there ore packages\nand parcels of goods, nt the end of tho road,\nfor people here in town; but they might just\naa well he at New Westminster. They cau\nonly bo conveyed from the North road by\npacking', and that, in many instances is quite\nimpracticable.\nIC I'lfclly shameful Is the mode in which we\ncontinue to be disserved an to postal matteru.\n'There seems to bo no nearer prospect of our\nbeing provided with a postoli.ee now than\nthere was six nwmths ago, The usual mode\nof doing things is, that onrlotters and papers\narc, down at Watkis's, tied up iu a bundle\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094we are not allowed u 1*. 0. bag\u00E2\u0080\u0094this\nbundle is entrusted to any ehance pedestrian\nwho may be coding up town. Its contents\nare often profusely, but of coutbo unintentionally, utrewn along tlw way. The residua\nIs dropped into (Jrant's shop, or the Caledonia hold, where u general scramble enmi .-s\nover ''the mail,'' No wonder people ol\noftci\nfind their letters and papnru mUsing. Nobody is reppusible for anything. How long\nis this to bo eudurod ?\nThe harbor lias, especially in its shallower\nparts, been slightly skimmed with ice, a\nfact which will be a great source of comfort\nto some people who are ever on the outlook\nfor something which may redouiul to the\nrllscredit of Port Moody. Whilst readily\nadmitting this fact, as a fact, we must remark that this slight scum of ice\u00E2\u0080\u0094the congealing of the great quantity of fresh water\nwhich floats on the tidal brine\u00E2\u0080\u0094in no way\ndo tracts from the value of the harbor, even\nas a winter port. This thin scum of ice is\ninsufficient t<\u00C2\u00BB prevent tho progress of any\nvessel larger than a canoe, or thu smallest\nclass of row-boats. Moreover, it neud nut be\nallowed to form at all. The plying about of\na small tug l\u00C2\u00BBoat -or even the smallest of thu\nPraser river steamers\u00E2\u0080\u0094during tho few cold\nnighta that wo havu during only lent* of our\nWinters, would quite prevent this at worst\nbut trivial difficulty.\nSo, wo havo got back to the old and or-\n{.editions, way of having criminal justice administered, so far as the people of this tuwn\nare concerned. For instance, on Thursday\nof last week, a poor wretch of a Chinaman\nWM arrested, at New Westminster, on| a\ncharge of larceny supposed to have been\ncommitted at Fort Moody, and on a warrant\nissued at Port Moody. Ho was kept in Westminster jail some twenty-four hours. Ou\nFriday, a police constable from Fort Moody\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094wo suppose on being telegraphed for\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwent over to Westminster ana brought poor\nJohn back to Fort Moody. He was kept in\njail hero until Saturday evening, there being\nno J. P. present before whom he could ho\noxaminoa. Ho was, that evening, brought up\nbefore Mr. McOillivray. The prisoner preferred being tried summarily. That requires\ntwo J. F.'s, and there waa only one on hand.\nBo the unfortunate Chinamnn was remanded; and, on Monday, constable Sharpe had\nto escort him back to Westminster. It is\nauppoaed that these operations coat nothing ?\nand that a Chinaman haa no rights.\nTHE FORT MOODY ROAD.\nOn Monday evening last a meeting took\nplace in New Wes tin Ulster, respecting an\napplication to the local Government for aid\nVj construct a pa*sable road between this\ncity und New Westminster.

KKFUKUS.\nAccording to news published In the Ran-\ngoon papers, King Tbtjbaw haa become a\n\"reformed character.\" Till lately this potentate had been regarded as a weak young\nman, given up to indolence aelMndulgtnce,\nand cruelty; it is reyortsd that since the\ndeath of 'the monster,\" Yanouug Prince, a\nmarked change haa takrn place which has\ndone much to restore King Thebaw's power\nand intlueuce. W ith the reeatoblishment of\nhis ascendency the moderate and enlightened\nmen wbo have always be\u00C2\u00ABu attached to hia\nparty, and who, thongh uot actually banished from court, have, we learn, lately had\nlittlo or no say in the conduct of affairs,\nare now* taking their pro-pur position In the\ncouncils of the nation.\nTbe Kiug himself has awakened from hia\nlethargy, and has begun to assert himsolf as\nsovereign and ruler, whist? in a corresponding\ndegree the interference and niiiueiK.:- oi the\nQueen have decruasod. He now, according\nto the same source of information, regularly\nattends and presides at the meetings of the\nHtootdaw, and .appears to have suddenly\ndeveloped \u00C2\u00BB surprising amount of intelli-\nfencu aud energy. Tlie latest news from\nhebaw.s court is that the King, beiug determined to make au elfort to subdue the\nrebellious Shan chiefs, has despatched 5,000\ntroops to the Shan States, uuder four Generals, accompanied by several Italians in the\nKings icrvice,\u00E2\u0080\u0094London Jktilv New*.\nBy many individuals in many countries an\noath is regarded very lightly. To them it\nis just as easy to swear an to sneeze, aud in\nmany instances easier. Iu the Eastern nations, among the Mohammedans, an extraordinary sanctity is attached to a solemn as-\nBcveratson, and the belief in punishment hereafter to a perjurer is carried to a degree\nof fanaticism. When a Hindoo or a Burmese\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0wears, he implicates not himself alone, but\nall his kindred to the seventh degree, all his\npersonal acquaintances, and all his posterity.\nWhen he, through lapse of memory, perjures\nhimself, all these aro condemned to \"ten\nkiuds of punishment aud five attacks of\nenemies.\" Bhould thu perjury be of a more\nserious form, the \"earth will open and swallow them all up.\" Should he knowingly\nmake a false oath, all hia friends and ao\n((iiaiutanccs will be precipitated into eighty\ngreat hells aud one hundred aud twenty\nsmall ones.\nOu tho strength cf the success of Last\nJanuary's ice carnival at Montreal there is\nto be another. Some Canadians suggest that\nsuch sin exhibition, after all, brings the coldness of the country into uudue prominence,\nto the terror of European, emigrants. That\nhowever, is a narrow and superficial view of\nthe matter. These sports, on the contrary,\nimpress the strauger with the fact that midwinter itself, presumbly the most inclemont\nand dreaded season in Canada, is the time of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0the greatest gayety ami enjoyment. To\nhave shown what pleasure can bo had in that\nlatitude during the heats of July would have\nbeen small encouragement foi immigration;\nbut the scenes of a January carnival, with\nit prodigious Ice palace glittering under\nelectric lights, It* toboganning ou the bills\nits curling houspiel at the riuk, its mow-\nshoe steeple 0liases hy day and torchlight\nprocessions by night, its skating matches,\nracing in sleighs, games of hookey and quadrilles on the frozeu river, not to speak of its\nregular railroad trains running across the\nSt. Lawrence upon ice ton feet thick\u00E2\u0080\u0094such\nspectacles as these present a Canadian winter\niu anything but a forbidding light.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Ex.\nThe late peculiar appearance of the sky\nafter sunset has attracted much attention in\ntho Antipodes. The Melbourne Argut mentions a peculiarly rich glow which has appeared in the western sky for a considerable\ntime after sunset, and has boen popularly\nascribed to the aurora australis. The Government Astronomer, Mr. Kllery, however,\nattributes tne phenomenon to a different\ncause. The spectrum, he points out, exibits\nf;reat breadth iu the telluric of atmospheric\nines, an.l especially of those shown by M.\nJaussen to hu due to aqueous vapors In certain conditions in tho higher strata of atmosphere. He is satisfied that the oause of\ntho gorgeous sunsets is ninjply ft peculiar hy-\ngrometric condition of those regions. He\npredicted wst and broken weather; and as a\nmatter of fact the peculiar sunsets have been\nfollowed by copious rains all over the Australian continent. The seAson, in fact, in\nihe colony,has boon almost as remarkable as\nthe sunsets, nothing like it having boing experienced for many years. Another and\nmore uncomfortable solution of the great\n\"sunsot mystery\"' is given by a Persian astrologer, who predicts that the blood red\nappuarenco of the \u00C2\u00BBky is a forewarning of a\nwar Buch as tho world haa never yet behold.\nThere is to pe bloudahtd on an unexampled\nscale iu all the quarters of the globe.\nThe French Chamber of Deputies haa re\niocted tho Government demand of three millions and a half of francs for the Senegal\nRailway; Tins may perhaps be regarded as\nindicative of a reaction against the colonial\ncraze which had lattorl , taken such a strong\nhold on the French imagination. Something\nlike a milliou sterling has already been spent\non thia undertaking, the protection of which\nnecessitates daily a heavy outlay in addition\nto that required for its construction. Natives cannot be got to work on the lino, and\nthe rate of wages demanded by the Chinese,\nthe Morocco Africans, and the Europeans\nemployed is ruinously high. The tornadoes,\nso frequent in that part of Africa, often undo\nin one night tha work of weeks, and the\nwhite worms honeycomb the sleepers almost\nas soon as they are laid down. As for traffic\nthere is nothing of the sort iu the region\nthrough wlj.ch the line passes. A few sol-\ndiera now and then occupy a carriage or two;\nbut there is no transport of merchandise,\nand even the ubiquitous globe trotterhtmself\nshows little desire to penetrate these regions.\nOf the hundred miles contemplated in M.\nFreycinet'H scheme, only fifteen or sixteen\nhave been completed; and as the Chamber\nhas decided not to throw good money after\nbad, the Senegal Railway will probably take\nWHAT \u00C2\u00A3.\iiLHXD WILL DO FOit\nKGYPT.\nTbe pressure of events and a decided change yi U/*u* iu the organs of advanced Liberal\nopinion hav a at last constrained the Gladstone Cabinet to adopt a definite and vigorous policy with regard to Kgyut. The intention of withdrawing the British troops\nfrom tbe Nile country has been abaadonned,\nand, far from striving any Longer to belittle\nthe importance of the religious upheaval ia\nthe Soudan, the .Ministers \u00C2\u00BBcku\u00C2\u00ABw led*3 that\nthe Khedive's dominions are in imminent\nneed of defence against 1*21 Uahdi, aud they\nagree that under certain restrictions the\nunited Kingdom shall furnish the necessary\nprotei tioti. These restrictions may yet cause\na good deal of trouble, but even the present\ncircumscribed programme is a long step toward the incorporation of Egypt among tbe\nBritish | oesea\u00C2\u00BBit>ns.\nLooking first at the positive side of the\nnew policy, we see that the Knglish Government guarantees the security of Egyptian\nterritory north of ths first or second cataract,\nit is probable that, for atrategic reasons the\nlast-named limit will be fixed upon. Nothing\nis said about Kuakim aud Maasowah, but, although these seaports lie south of the boundary designated, they will undoubtedly be\nincluded in tlie protected district, since\nin the hands of El Mahdi they would become the centres of a revived slave trade,\nand might seriously Interfere with the safe\ntransit of British merchant vessels through\nthe Ked sea. But to garrison those ports\nand to maintain a line of defence at the second cataract, detachments from the native\ntroops belonging to the British Indian army\nwill be requisite, since at any of tbe points\nmentioned the climate would prove fatal to\nEuropean soldiers. Owing moreover, to Ihe\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0^subordination and religious excitement of\nthe people, the British force now stationed\nin the Delta is to be considerably strengthened. The whole number of troops, therefore, which Great Britain will have to keep\nlenuanently employed for the defence ef\npermanently\nEgypt\u00E2\u0080\u0094utciuding those needed to preserve\norder in the country aud guard the ports of\nthe Ked Sea as well as those massed ou the\na perihapent place in the category of magnificent but abortive conceptions of which\nFrench genuis has lately been so prolifi.\nFrench doctors almost invariably pre\nscribe red wine rather than white, and\nLiebig beara them out, as the following passage, found among his writings, proves:\n\"The white wines are hurtful to the nervous\nsystem, causing trembling, confusion of language, and convulsions. The stronger wines,\nsuch as champagne, rise quiekly to the head\nbut their effects are only of short duration.\nSherry and strong cider are mote quickly\nintoxicating than the generality of wines,\nand they have a peculiar influence on the\ngastric juices Of the stomach. The intoxication of beer is heavy and dull, but its use\ndoes; not hinder the drinker from saining\nflesh. The drinkers5 ef* whiskey and brandy\nare going to certain death.\" Red wine is the\nleast hurtful, and to aome cases, really be-\nreficlal.\"\nsouthern frontier to resist an attack from the\nSoudan\u00E2\u0080\u0094is not likely to fall short of 30,000\nmen. That is to say, the change in the\nEgyptian situation, aud the method of dealing with It adopted by the Gladstone Cabinet, will involve the permanent retention\niu the Nile land of as large % force as\nwas temporarily intrusted to Lord Wol-\nselev for the purpose of suppressing Arabi\nPasha.\nNow, who is to defray the cost of suppor-\ning a standing army of 25,000 men iu Egypt?\n'1 In: British taxpayers will not do it, and the\nfeltaJdn cannot do it, unless they are relieved\nfrom the burden laid upon them by the Khedive's civil list and the intolerable extortions practised by the native Ministers. If\nthe family of Mehemet Ali were ejected\nfrom a land which they have done their best\nto ruin; if Egypt, like Cyprus, were occupied by Great Britain under a stipulation to\npay a fixed tribute to the Porte, it would be\neasy to provide for the military defenee ! of\nthe country from its existing revenues. Indeed, under the systematic and honest administration that might be looked for at the\nhands of British officials, so great a stimulus\nwould be given to agriculture and trade that\nthe public revenues would be materially augmented, while at the same time the condition nf the hard-working native population\nwould bo sensibly improved. Sucu.)a transformation in the internal government of\nEgypt will be tho logical result of the weighty\nresponsibilities which are now formally ae-\ncepuid by Great Britain. The first move in\nthis direction has, it seems, beeu already\ntaken by Earl Grauville in notifying the\nBritish agent at Cairo, Sir Eveline.Baring,\nthat ccrtaiu reforms in the internal management of Egypt will be at once begun under\nhis supervision.\nThu determination reached by the Gladstone Ministry makes it tolerably certain\nthat, whatever may be the triumphs of the\nFalse Prophet on the upper Nile, his northward advance against Egypt proper will bo\nsuccessfully withstood. Nevertheless, a good\nmany diplomatic protests and recriminations\nare likely to be provoked in England's refusal to make any attempt to recover Kordo-\nfan or even to save Sonnaar and eastern\nSoudan. Not only will the British Government do nothing of itself to avert the\ncomplete conquest by El Mahdi of\nthe Khedive's possessions south of tho second cataract, but it will not permit Prince\nTcwtik to squander tbe resources of Egypt\nin a fruitless effort at resistance. In the\nform of advice, which is, of course, equivalent to a command, Earl Granville haa signified his wish that the Egyptian garrrisons\nat Khartoum aud Berber, and the expeditionary force under Baker Pasha, should\nbo withdrawn behind the line of'defcnee decided on at 1 /mden. He has also declined to\nsanction the cooperation with Abyssinian\ntroops which had been proposed by Baker\nPasha, foreseeing, no doubt, that Mas-\n\u00C2\u00BBowah would be the price demanded for\nAbyusinia's assistance. As to the offer of\nTurkey to reconquer the Soudan, Lord Granville has no objection to such a demonstration, provided it is made at the Saltan's coat;\nbut England will not suffer Egpyt to spend\nany money for that purpose. It remains to\nbe seen whether Turkey or France\u00E2\u0080\u0094deeply\ninterested as both powera are in arresting the\nprogress of El Mahdi\u00E2\u0080\u0094wi.l undertake at\nthen* own expense an expedition to the Sou-\nIan. Even in the improbable event that\neither of thoie powers, or both jointly,\nshould assume the task, the possession of\nSuakim or Massowah would be indispensable. But it might happen that at the last\nmoment Great Britain would refuse to let\neither of those important harbors, wbioh at\nresent are virtually hers, pass into foreign\nands\u00E2\u0080\u0094New York Sun,\n(1AXX BONSONV-i.)\ndead of lorth Re.d. 1'erl Mood7.\nJOHN S.
