During the late froaty nights persona who have been out after dark have noticed the magnificent display of northern lights plainly visible in the clear sky. The aurora borealis or northern lights, as will be noticed, are seldom stationary and appear and disappear suddenly, and though seldom seen in this neighborhood on ao grand a scale, sometimes cover the whole sky, frequently having a stormy, tremulous motion from end io end. A form of aurora that is very rureiy i.een but which when viewed can never be forgotten, iB when the i ays appear to hunt; fr in * he sky like fringes uu thu fulda if a mantle. The ordinary L*��j'iis of the northern lights is a pale greenish yellow, but crimson, violet and steel color are not uncommon. Crimson auroras - such as that of Thursday night���have often heen imagined by the auperatitious to be omens of war, pestilence and famine, and many queer instances are given of the effects of the lights upon our ancient forbears. In Shetland and in the north of Scotland the auroras are known as the "merry dancers," evidently from the constant shifting of the peculiar appeal ing lights. Iu Ceylon, where these lights, strange aa it may aeem, have appeared, they are termed the Buddha lights, whilst in the first recorded appearance of I hose phenomena in London in the year 1560, they were alluded to as "Burning Spears." The aurora seems to vary iu heiglit, and n low latitudes is at such an ain uilu that the sounds reported by Arctic explorers as accompanying its appearance, are not dia- cerniMe. The average height estimated by scientists varied from 50 to over 100 miles. I* lias been seen occasionally in the day line -iverul records having bee a made of the f .ut, though the diurnal appearances have been very rare. The onuses of the magnificent northern lights seen in the winter time at different parts of the globe have not been positively decided yet, though aeveral theories have been advanced as to their origin. One writer considers the aurora formed by storm clouds which instead of bursting into thunder had been drawn in in ih ��� upper partB of lhe atmospheu and the vapor i crysiulliz-il into tiny prisms by the iutense cold; the electricity having b*?coiie luminous in flowing over their icy p-.nicies. Electric currents have been superinduced in telegraph wires, and though transient in many cases, have been pnwerfu*���caused by the electricity in the atmosphere during the appearance of an Aurora borealis. From the different investigations and observations made by scientists into the causes of this beautiful natural phenomenon, it haa been generally conceeded that the lights and movements are caused by the actions of both electric ..nd magnetic influences combined together. It haa beeu often noticed in connection with the Northern Lights, tho appearance of a dark bank of cloud below the archea,and usually just above the northern horizon, of so thin a character, stars can be seen through it, thia is variously con* sidered to be a part and pr.rcel of the phenomenon, though also may be often attributed to the natural hazy oondition of ths sky giving it an appearance of being oloudy. *��� -. nan aim . b. c, Saturday, febkuari 24,1894. TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY. Silver was quoted at 27J in London yesterday. The rumor that the Holy Office had issued a decree from Rome to condemn the doctrine of Henry George, is without foundation. Wm. Waldorf Astor has subscribed by cable from London $10,000 to the mayor's fund for the relief of the unemployed in New York. v Dr. Eugene West, convicted of murder by malpractice of Addie Gilmour, was yesterday at San Francisco sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment in,the penitentiary. The Spanish consul at New York sent back to Havana on Wednesday, 27 immigrants who had been deceived into coming to thiB country by the false representation of an immigration agent. The New York Herald's Panama, speoial says: It is aaid here that M Mange, agent for the liquidator of the Panama Canal Co., will assume the euperintendency of ibe Panama roilway, in place of Mr. Rivers, on March 1. Panama and Colon will gain much by the change. The anarchist named Bourdin was buried yeaterday in London. The funeral was attended by a large crowd. There were no signs of any disturbance until the hearse reached Marylebone road, when someone hoisted a red flag. Thia waa a signal for an outcry, but the police charged on the crowd scattering it in all directions, and tearing down the objectionable flag. At the cemetery Anarchiat Quinn attempted to deliver an oration, but waa seized by the police and hustled outside the gates of the cemetry. As Grayson Brown and his bride of a week were travelling along a mountain road in Lowns county, Georgia, two men stopped them and with revolvers compelled the bridegroom to stand by while they compelled his wife to submit t'o them. They left and threatened death if they were informed upon. Next day Agnew Burrows and John Thompson were arrested, but while they were being taken across a creek they leaped into the stream and escaped by swimming. Mrs. Brown was one of the prettiest girls of the aection and when the crime became known the people ot the county organized for lynching. They are still scouring the mountains for the men. The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting on Benham's action in protecting the British ship Naemith while obtaining a supply of water in the harbor of Rio, saya it is difficult to underatand why the British fleet is at Rio if not to protect British interests. The St. James Gazette says surely Lord Roseberry does not equieace in the doctrine that the sole right ot iutervention belongs to the Uuited States, und adds, it is humiliating in the extreme tn think that British sailors had to seek American protection. The Globe is curious, and says Benham is doubtless ut liberty io hully the insurgents, but it iB quite a different thing from offering a most injurious insult io the British navy, it should be the duty of the British Government tn demand an immediate apology from tbe United States for the extraordinary conduct of its officers. Two well known travelling passenger agents had an exciting time at Niagara Falls John E. Burke, of the Louisville and Nashville, and William Killogar, of the Chioago, Milwaukee k St. Paul, were in the city on business. In company with local passenger agent B D. Denniaon, of the New York Central, they viaited the ice bridge. The party climbed the ice mountain, and while on the brink, Burke'a hat waa blown off, and began to roll down the ice on the aide of the mountain towards the American Fulls, Burke, without thinking of hia danger, dropped down on hia stomach to lean over and secure the hat. He began to slip down the aide of the ice mountain towards the whirling water and certain death. He shouted "help me!" and Kelly, leaning over, caught him by the foot. The ice was slippery aud Kelly lost bia footing and he too began to slip. Dennison, who is a big, powerful man, grabbed Kelly's legs, and thus tlfe three formed a loop over the top of the mountain. Burke ahouted, "for QoiI'h sake don't let go!" Denniaon managed to ge Kelly o\\er to hia side of tbe mountain and then pulled Burke up. He brought li s hat with him. ��� School of Penmanship. The young man with a bad handwriting who seeks employment among business men finds there is no demand for his awkwardness at any price. Everyone who uses a pen should write legibly and attractively. There is no excuse in these days for a young person to write in a slovenly manner. This should be left to those of a past gen-ration, who were educ tted before the daya of business training schools. Here all of ordinary intelligence and application can acquire a good business handwriting, the value of which is not easy to compute. The Nanaimo Business College has a special department of penmanship, at the head of which is Mr. J. R. Denneny, who iB acknowledged to be not only one of the finest penman in the world, but one of the beat teachers and developers of good pen manship in others. 18-2 lm Odd FELLOWS' Block, Nanaimo STANLEY HOUSE STORE TALK PLUMS FOR BARGAIN HUNTERS They Are Dropping Your Way.

Persons interested in sealing in Behring Sea or intending to engage in the business will do well to read the lentrthy dispatch from Washington published in our issue of yesterday. The dispatch gives a synopsis of the bill introduced in the House of Representatives of the American Congress by Mr. McCreary, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on the subject of sealing in Behring Sea by American citizens. The bill is designed to carry into effect the award rendered by the Tribunal of Arbitration at Paris under tbe treaty to that end between Great Britain and the United States which was concluded at Washington in February of last year. Similar legislation will also no doub'. at once be introduced in the Imperial Purlin ment by the British Government, and will, we think, also be concurred in by the Dominion Government at Ottawa by legislation of alike sort introduced in the Dominion Parliament at its next session. This c mcurrent legislation trill of course be binding on Canadians as well as Americans, hence its special interest to the people of this Province, and to all Canadians and Britiah subjects everywhere. The provisions of the McCreary Act are to become operative when tbe President of the United States shall by proclamation announce that the British Government has adopted the measures necessary to give effect to the regulations agreed upon by the Tribunal of Arbitration at Paris. We need not here give a synopsis of the McCreary Act. That has already been done sufficiently in the dispatch which we published yesterday, and to it we refer our readers for details. It ought to be studied by every master of a ship engaged in the sealing business, and by the owners also. to reply to Mr. Kitchen at all. The Premier in his reply to Mr. Forster'. rambling remarks, briefly explained, that he had not argued, as that gentleman seemed to imagine against Government control of railways, against the building of them by the Government, or against the establishment of such enterprises with public money. The Speaker seeing no one else rising called three times, "are you ready for the questionT'and rang the division bell. Mr. Brown, as though arroused from a comfortable nap, then innocently asked the Speaker, "Did you ring the bell?" and on receiving an affirmative answer, at once sat down. Mr. Beaven then got upon his feet and protested tbat when a resolution of want of confidence, such as was moved by Mr. Kitohen, was presented, the Government Bhould make soms sort of reply. Hon. Mr. Davie remarked that there was nothing to reply to. Mr. Beaven who was still not satisfied blamed the Sneaker for not allowing the Government the courtesy of a reply. The Speaker said, amid the laughter and applause of tbe House, that they had not complained. Mr, Beaven then proceeded to complain on his own account, saying that he had intended to address the House, but had waited for the explanation which tbe Government should make when a motion of censure was offered. Mr. Beaven continuing to grumble, the Speaker asked what the hon. gentleman was speaking to, and pronounced the discussion closed. The motion was then put and lost on a division of ten to twenty-one. Such are the tactics of the opposition and their method of conducting a debate. It is in faot simply a wasting of the time of the House, offering motions whioh they cannot support by argument, and them grumbling ad libitum. OPPOSITION TACTICS. Hon. Mr. Beaven, the leader of the Opposition, some time ago made the extravagant and croaking statement thai the con- vertion of $1,700,000 s.x and four and one- half per cent, bonds into three per cents would cost the Province upwards of $600,- O00, that is, that more than one third of the total amount would be wasted in the operation. On Wednesday afternoon last Hon. Mr. Turner, the Minister of Finance, came to the Legislative Assembly prepared to go into the question. He asked leave to explain the subject of the conversion of the bonds,which appeared to have been so much misunderstood. But Mr. Beaven objected on the ground that such an explanation was out of order and should not be allowed, oth er wise every member who was misunderstood or misrepresented could claim the right to speak. Hon. Mr. Davie argued that the Minister of Finance had a right to speak first on the motion to adjourn the debate, and in the second place because it was asserted by the Upposition that he had failed to make an explanation of the matter. Mr. Beaven, however, still objected that the explsna Inn of the Finance Miniater was not in oril* i . n*i th�� Sp- ker decided the .point in ln�� fawn-. I* he c appears that the leader uf '.he Oppsoilion took advantage of a technical rule of debate to prevent the explanation of a matter in which the oountry at large is interested, and which is either not understood or else is deliberately misrepresented by the Opposition. Hon. Mr. Turner is therefore clearly justified in claiming tbat tbe Opposition do not want an explanation, perhaps on the ground suggested by the Premier that they wished the falsehood told by their leader to get a good start before the truth could be made known by the man best informed on the subject. This is a fine example of Opposition tactics, but we think the public at large will concur with us in saying that it is not altogether to their credit. Another matter which does not redound much to the credit of the Opposition is the way they managed the debate on Mr. Kitchen's voluminous want of confidence motion. The hon. gentleman was not able to support hia motion with anything that bore even a resemblance to argument, and Mr. Foster, his seconder, was if possible still more feeble and irrelevant. Mr. Foster's speech was simply a rambling disquisition on single tax, state sooialism, and matters of that sort. The member* of the administration did not think it worth while Mb. Kkitii has again made himself the laughingstock of theHouse by comparing Mr. Beaven to the archangel Gabriel. The last time he had occasion to belaud the leader of the Opposition he said his face shone like the face of Moses when he descended from the mount. Mr. Knith ought really to have some mercy on his leader and not make him as ridiculous as he makes himself. Mr. Beaven, who is not exactly a fool, must be thoroughly ashamed of his admirer and his absurd oomparisons of him to celestial per* sonages.

VERNON, Gold Commis-aoner. Viotoria, B. C, ��th December, 1803. 20-1 td The pkopli of Paris are panic-stricken and excited beyond their power of self-control by fear of the anarchists and their bombs. If a man were to put a tin box under his arm and proceed to wulk along one of the streets of the city, he would be instantly arrested by a squad of frightened policemen and relieved of his box. The latter would be carried off gingerly and with the utmost oare to be examined by a public analyst, and the man himself would be marched off to prison, till it was ascertained what his box contained. In point of fact the anarchists are making themselves public nuisanoes all over Europe, and if they go on as they are doing will not only make themselves and their principles universally abhorred���they are so already by all but the lowest, most ignorant, and lawless classes���but they will force all civilized Governments to outlaw the whole faotion. The British Government will no doubt be the last to do so, but public opinion will in the end force Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues to take positive and energetic action against them, and to ask Parliament for power to drive them out of England and keep them out. Indeed thit is what ought to be done, without any more delay. Thk Spanish Americans, to all appearance, -would not be happy without a civil war of some sort to keep them umused. The little Central American states of Nicaragua and Honduras are now at it hammer and tongs, but fortunately or otherwise there does not seem to be many lives lost. The other day a great battle took place on the river Wauko, wherever that may be, between the troops of Nicaragua and those of Honduras. The battle, it is reported, was a hot one for a Central Amerioan fight. Just four persons were killed, one of whom was an American, who with other Americans was helping the Nicaraguans. The Honduras battalians, it appears, were defeated. This Central American squabble seems if possible to be even more absurd and redioulous than the Brazilian war. The American government should send a little sticking plaster to both the hostiie armies, and advise them to go home and keep as cool as the wetther, which ie always hot down there, the moaquitos, and the fleas will permit them. If the British or Canadians were to do so it might be construed by the Yankees into a breaoh of the Monroe doctrine, and might lead to the spoiling of much paper and the shedding of much ink in diplomatic correspondence, before the affair oould be properly settled. * TO CONTRACTORS.

The Dime Novel in London. "Cyclone Kit; or, the Young Gladiator" has led two of his disciples into serious trouble. The whirlwind gentleman was, it appears, a daring young highwayman who defied Scotland yard and Pinkcrton's detectives combined and lived on other people's purses. He was the idol of two lads in Highgate named John Baker and John Stanmers. They always carried I he record of his life, well-thumbed and beautifully unbound, in their pockets, and recently determined to imitate his exploits. But they found the reality very different from the romance. Instead of riding away on a cyclone with the four purses and six silk handkerchiefs whioh they had stolen from shops near Highgate Archway, they found themselves before an officer of the police station, who calmly said, "take down your pants." It was a trying moment for the two followers of the dashing Kit. The idea of such an indignity had never arisen. But they took them down, and only appreciated what the afteimath of a cyclone really meant when they attempted to sit down after the laat of the six strokes had been ad. ministered. Stanmers was then allowed to go home, with mind and epidermis thoroughly disillusionised; but Baker was ordered by the magistrate at the North London police court to think for a month over his follies in gaol. In addition to the life of Kit he had in his pocket a sensational story called "The Locked Valley." He is now in it in reality.��� London Daily Telegraph. m Welsh Mines and the Contracting Ont Clause.

A Chinaman suffered an awful death four miles from Union on Wednesday morning, being run over by the cars behind a passing locomotive.

The head was carried some distance From the trunk. The Chinaman was one of a gang that worked for the Union Colliery Company and who constantly travelled backwards and forwards on the cars. Piracy at Texada. A letter was received yesterday from Texada stating that some partiea are practising piracy on the Northern Coast of the Island. On Feb. 5 some men stole the steel wire rope from the drum of the Puget Sound Iron Mining Co., and a large canoe from the miners on the island. After this they stripped a sloop lying in Blubber Bay, chopping down the mast and stripping it of all ropes, bloeks and tackle. Upon observing the robbery, four men from the Lime Kiln, gave chase in a boat and after a pur suit of nearly 20 miles, they had to give it up when within 1$ miles off. The sloop, however, outsailed the boat, and the latter having no provisions, the ohasers had to give up the pursuit. On their return they reported the matter to Mr. Manson, J. P., whom they saw ou the ss. Comox. It is believed that some of the hand loggers are the aggressors. The thieves left a skiff behind them which may prove a key to identification. ����� Y. H. C. A.

Will wo not, Ralph?" The young captain pressed his lips to Eustace's brow and sobbed aloud. Many an older cheek ���was wet with tears. A few more faint ���breaths, nnd then the kind brother, the loving Bon, the devoted husband, the truly Christian patriot, yielded up his life for his country I I make no attempt to describe the mourning in tho camp or the anguish at home when Ralph and Rose brought the remains of one so deservedly loved aud honored back to the stricken family. Such sorrows are all too well understood. Very grievous was this loss to Mr. and Mrs. Newton, who had given him a son's place in their hearts, but having unreservedly given him with their other sons to their country's cause, knowing that he went to face death, they could, while bitterly grieving, still say, "Thy will be done." Of the wife, whose heart was knit to her husband's from earliest childhood, the young babe, who was never to know bis father's face, I may not speak. Hers was a sorrow that mortal may not trespass upon. God only can bind up thi* broken heart. By his love her soul may ���will���find rest and peace. The night before this sad battle Eustace had sat for more than an hour wit':: his brothers and Rose. She was to remain in a temporary hospital at a snit.i- able distance from the field, ready to give care and attention to such of tlie wounded as the next morning's battlo iu_. bring her. From this sweet rister, who bad so nobly followed them, they had no secret. They knew that tho morrow wa * full of peril and would dawn upon one of the most fiercely contested fields of the whole war. After some time spent in this discussion Eustace turned the conversation to the anxious hearts at home. He read them a letter he had received that evening from his wife, in which she spoke with a mother's pride of his Utile son and with much tender longing that he could jee the child if only for an hour. Inclosed was a picture of the babo in her arms. Rose and her brother were enthusiastic in their expressions of dells nt at the evidently faithful picture of tr*.*n loved sister and their little nepl.-��. Their loving remarks were occasion*/:.' mingled with a laughing reproach of Etastace for concealing his possession of such a treasure. . But George, noticing that he had been unusually silent during this joyful, half ���playful conveBBttlon which tho letter and picture had caused, repcllly tuider-* stood that the husband's aud father's heart was yearning for one look upon t'.ioso he so dearly loved, ami doUbtk^S (thoughts of the coming sirup 1? i:'.-".- fled with other emotions. A BigniUcttl't look from George sufficed to check Ralph's humorous speech and gradually change the conversation. Eut Eusta-.o noticed tho change and understood t'.io ���reason. He looked up and tried to n:r.'.3 upon them i:i his old, loving way, but suddenly dri; ?ed his head upon the table beside L._. For tv.r.v.y minutes all were silent. God only knew the storm that tv. *;ft over that motionless Qg-ure. but whin l;e ���raised his head the darlmess had C*_, tlie storm hod passed, and a holy calm shone upon his face���a peaco such lis ,c!ose communion with God only c::n bring had transfigured hi .i. aud years will never efface that expression from t the minds of those who sympathized '��� with what they knew must havo lieen * the agony that preceded it. Roso wiU ���tell you that from that hour she iV.lt assured that the golden gates had Opened, giving him a foretaste of the glory to .soon to bo realized. After a moment's silence Eustoco calmly referred to the great burden ths.: had weighed upon his heart for hot * ��� and remarked that he hail been nm.'r tlie impression that ho should fall in tie Immediate struggle. Ho had been ui!:.- ious to speak fully to them, but i ..* 1 waited till ho Could feel i.i.t his ot.:. heart was resigned to his Father's tv*... Now he could speak to them with composure. -, He then urged upon his brothers the ���importance of entering upon the morrow's labors with every thought ccr.<. :*> | trated upon tue work, prepaiv.. to banish ' rM personal feeling, to know nothing save that the enemy were beforo them and with God's help mtist bo de*. trtefl, ' even if it cost the dearest friend tr their j .own lives. Entering upon tho little \\ with this entiro self abrogation and I rusting to the Almighty arm for assistance* they wero sure to conquer. II! .0 foil, he looked to his brothers to load l:ij in*-.::. He needed no response from tlie siera, pale faces before him. No 'word x:M spoken. Their hearts wero too tall* Ev.t the long embrace, aa each Lro" rr!Ifc his tent and as Rose bowed her head one moment on his breast and then pmt.cda lingering kiss upon his lips, told more than words could havo done how fondly nnd truly their hearts were with him in richest affection. Tho next morning an orderly handed Rose a letter inclosing one to her sister, evidently written after they parted the night before. If I (all In the aiming battle, Rosle, irtro the Inclosed to my precioos wife; If not, dostroy it. E.D. With that sacred letter we havo nothing to do. That the merciful Father was near this noble family in the hour of their deepest trial, as he had been when lesser clouds overshadowed them, wn j^GoocryOBfmmg'ttt, XBttLq cannot doubt It has not been my intention to manufacture a romance from the simple sketch of two families. I only wished to take some of the most prominent events transpiring at a crisis in our country's history that has tested the character, separated the "dross from the pure gold" more surely than any other period has ever done. % M [:'{yyJ-i-m%k - m* _n orderly handed Rose a letter. Honor, truth, industry and a full true', in our Father's unfailing caromakecourageous, self sacrificing natures and h:'.ppy homes, not exhaustless riches or (stately mansions. In this unsettled period of our country's history, when each day surprises us with sudden and startling changes, when tho poor are exalted and the rich brought low, it may be wise to inquire if anything can moro surely secure competence and permanent happiness, dispel repining and despondency, than cheerful industry and contentment. I havo hoped this simple narrative ol life's vicis:-:*.mles with which every wcoli is full mi lit cnoblo com6 young rradci to U'.i'Ur.-iautl that the loss r>? rieheii through r>> wrongdoing of its possessor liaii r * 1 >v.-e:' to dvnutiish the respect or destroy the happiness of a pure spirit and well lv.-nlnled mind. Our country teems with just such characti *rn : s I havoprrtrayod, but quiet nnd unobirurivo in their goodness lw*- cause they are too fully occupied tc* "sound it t"u:* pot before them." The lessons, vhey might teach are learned only by the observant, careful searchers after the "right way." TBI IUD*, Harmless Swearing. One of those rather shocking atoriet which one hears occasionally regarding Admiral Ooldsborough, represents him as inquiring of the chaplain how hia labors with the sailors prospered, to which the reply was that satisfactory progress was being made, except that the men could not be induced to abandon swearing so long aa their officers set them a bad example. A contributor to Kate Field's Washington, in narrating the incident makes the admiral rejoin: "Tut, tut, man, that is not to be helped; the officers all swear; I do it myself sometimes, but I don't mean anything���not a bit more than yon do by your praying." SLAVERY IN OLD ENGLAND. The Bjrstsm Not Entirely Abolished Well On In the Seventeenth Century. Slavery in England was of very ancient standing. Ciesar states that it existed as an institution among the Celts, and in Roman England the conquered natives were held in a state of serfdom. In Saxon and early Norman times the children of the old English peasantry and captives taken in war were sold like cattle in Bristol market and many were exported to Scotland and Ireland. "Doomsday book" states that the slaves numbered twenty-five thousand. Soon after the conquest the distinct slave class ceased to exist and the slaves were merged with the lower class of eeorls under the general designation of villeins. The villeins in early feudal times were annexed to the land and were devisable as goods and chattels, but in process of time tho higher class of villeins gained a title to the land on which they worked, and after the reign of Richard II. we find little reference to villeinage. Although the church had eurly succeeded in putting an end to the English slave traffic by the canon of the council of 1102, slavery was never abolished by any positive enactment; and, according to the Brooklyn Eagle, it was not till 1660 that the last remnants of the feudal system were finally swept away. Slavery was abolished, but slavery did not cease, for until the time of George III. colliers were bought and sold, and if they left the estate to which they belonged were brought back by force. It was not till the year 1775 that an act was passed by which they were declared free and were put on the same footing aa other servants. The advertisement of the brigand Candimo, in the Journal of Sicily, complaining of a correspondent's letter, ia curiously illustrative of the march of civilization. He is still pursuing his profession at the head of a considerable band, and he begs to state, "through your esteemed columns," (for which purpose he forwards five francs) that the remarks in question aro injurious to him. "We do not touch the poor who work for their living, but only the rich. Nor do we kill persons with a dagger, as ia infamously asserted of tha man Oaaaetaro; we shot him!"

THE ART OF SHOPPING The art of shopping is not Becetsarily to make at all times a good bargain, but to secure a fair equivalent of the money spent, and to be able to do this with the least expenditure of time and tr uble. A GOO 3D _3_^.i?G-___.iisr Is distiiig ished from a cheap bargain, but in these days of bargains aud bargain-days, when from one end of Canada to the other���yea, and ihe United State", too���the newspapers are crying bargains���and we read about bargains in this thing, and bargains in that thing, when bargains are by many moie to be sought after than wisdom, and when every dealer in the country from the "peanut vendor" to the "merchant prince" call*- everything a bargain���in these days it is not so easy to distinguish a good.bargain from the.cheap one.

Hilbert was not returning from the Masquerade ball when she met with her accident. The mishap occurred at 8:40 p.m. aa she was returning from visiting aome friends. A well-known sea captain who haa been on the ooast for a great number of years stated that he had never seen the barometer ao high at thia time of tbe year as it haa been Tor the last few daya. We are asked to state that some of the temperance societies which petitioned the Board of Police Commissioners lately, are surprised at not receiving any public acknowledgment or particular reply to the same. One Anderson, who was found to be taking orders for clothing in New Westminster, was captured and fined $25.00. The local tradesmen find times hard enough without lm vim/ these outsiders coming in to take their business away. Two Indians supposed to have been connected with the Savory island murder have been arrested at Alert Bav. The Indians state that Lynn is concealed in the mountains and that they are willing to conduct the police tu the spot on being rewarded for doing so. In our account of the masquerade ball we omitted to mention the Misses Campbell, who were charmingly dressed; one as an Italian dancing girl and the other representing Bummer, l'he dancing girls' dress was true to Ihe style of sunny Italy and waa decidedly admired. Boys have been skating considerably on the pond in the Park, and though numbers of them have gone through the ice, such little miahups do not discoumge I hem.
