Law, for British Columbia at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. In the Court of Mines and Mining we were represented by a very striking monument of coal, in three seotions, base, pillar, and cap, prepared by the Union Coal Company of Comox. This monument was the most artistic specimen of ooal on exhibition in the Mines Building. Adjoining it was a pyramid of ooal in two seotions, weighing about three tons, supplied by tbe New Vancouvor Coal Company. Smaller speoimens of coal were furnished by Mr. It. D. Chandler, of Nanaimo; the Crow's Nest Coal Mining Co.: ihe Kamloojs Coal Co.; and the Wellington Coal Co., of Nanaimo. A quantity of coke was exhibited by the Union Coal Co., wbioh was a particularly good commercial product. The awards for coal were given to the New Vancouver Coal Co., of Nanaimo, and the Union Coal Co., of Comox. Other coals would have been given awards if it could have been shown that they were actually working and that their output waB going into eoonomio consumption. In the case of most of the coals these facts could not be given, as they had only just been opened up and statistics were not supplied. Whilst these coals merited awards they did not receive them, for the reason stated, and it is no leflection upon their merits that awards were not given to them. The moat prominent feature of the Mining Court was a large pyramid composed of imi tation gold brick, made in the form of gold bars, of the maximum value of about $o0,- 000. Thia pyramid was surmounted by four shields, bearing the arms of the Province, and by a silk bannerette, having upon it the information that the pyramid represented the quantity of gold taken from the placer fields of Briiish Columbia from 1859- 189.3, to the total value of $53,512,000. This pyramid was kept constantly gilded and its bright appearance attraoted thousands to its inspection and made patent the faot that where so much placer gold had been taken out there must exist equally rich quartz reserves whioh had supplied the placer fields with their wealth. Other countries made a display of their gold production by means of pyramids, formed of square blocks, representing solid oubic leet of gold. Your instructions to me in reference to this gold trophy were most explicit as to its form, and I must say that no better form could have been devised, as it attraoted more attention than any other exhibit of the same kind. The specimens of ore from the various pans of the Provinoe were displayed on three octagonal stands and were contained in six glass cases. The walls of the Court were decorated with handsome photographs representing British Columbian mining scenes. A glass case, containing about $4,000 worth of plaoer gold, was on view daily. One specimen, of the value of $3,000, represented the Big Bend Distriot, -Kootenay. Cariboo was represented by $500 worth of specimens, takeu from the Mosquito Hydraulic property, owned by Messrs. Flynn Bros. The seventy specimens of ore from the Slocan district received special attention from all the Jurors on Awards, beoause of the extremely high grade charaoter of the specimens throughout, the average iu silver product of all the samples being muoh greater than had ever been known in any oountry before. ...... The beer forwarded by Messrs. Fairall k Co., Victorin, and the Union Brewing Co., Nanaimo, did not arrive in good order. The corks not having beeu wired they were forced out by pressure during transportation, and the content**) escaped. Therefore no exhibit could bo made of these. # �� . . . . The British Columbian exhibits in all departments of the Canadian seotions ranked third in comparative importance to those of the other Provinces, being surpassed only by Ontario and Quebec, which Provinoes took first and second places respectively. Our Mineral Exhibit was the ohief attraction to the public, because it wa* felt that we had more to offer the investor and speculator in this field than in any other. There is no doubt that a much greater impression oould be made on tbe public if we had made an effort to secure more from the producing mines of the Province. Wherever ore was being shipped to smelters from points in the Kootenay it would have been possible to secure a carload lot from each property and, of course, this could not have failed to at- iract great attention, although at some cost. However, the impression produced Was very favorable, and oannot fail to have a beneficial effect in the direction of attraoting more capital to the Province for investment in mining enterprises. Our agricultural exhibits surprised every- one who visited the Court, and the people of Eastern Canada, as well as those of the United States, were pleased to recognize the fact that, while our agricultural districts are limited, they possess possibilities equal to those of the most favored portions of the Temperate 7. me. Our ability to excite interest in this department was only limited by the faot that we could not afford THE ELITE PHOTOS The only ground-floor studio in Nanaimo. Near the Opers House.

PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE. Fourth Session of tbe Sixth Parliament. Forty-Third Day. Victoria, March 30.���[Speoial.]���Dr. Watt, chairman, presented the report of the seleot committee on forestry. Report read and received. The House again went into committee on tho Hall minea bill, Mr. Rogers in the chair. In order that the bill might be amended by the promoters in order to meet the views of the House, Hon. Mr. Beaven moved that tho committee rise and report progress. The motion waB put and dec'ared carried, and the committee rose. Hon. Mr. Davie presented a return to an order of the House for further information with respect to the Nakusp k Slocan railway. Mr. Horne moved the second reading of the bill respecting the Consolidated electric railway and light company, the object of which is to amend the aot of incorporation of the Vancouver electric railway company, and to authorize them to lease or aoquire the property of the Westminster or other electric railway companies. He stated that since it hud been refei red back to oommittee the bill had been amended so that, it should be iu accordance witb >he notices and petition, and in ils amended form it has been approved of at meetings of the share-holders of the two companies mentioned. Bill read a second time. The House went into committee of the whole on the messages of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, transmitting the following bills, which were then introduced and read a first time: To authorize the sale of certain lands to the Bishop of New Westminster; To amend the public school act 1891 and amending acts; To provide for the formation of councils of labor conciliation and arbitration. Hon. Mr. Davie moved the second reading of the drainage, dyking and irrigation bill. He explained that this is an amendment and consolidation of existing acts, but confers muoh greater powers on the com missioners, especially in the matter of borrowing the money required for their works. Bill read a second time. Jurors' Aet. Hon. Mr. Davie moved the second reading of tbe bill to amend the jurors' act and amending acts. Tbe object of this bill, he explained, is to distribute jury duty more evenly than it has been distributed up to tbe present. Under the act as it now stands a very few men are called to serve as jurymen, and the same men are seen as grand, special and petit jurors year in and year out. By the provisions of this bill, however, when a man has once served for a while in the capacity, he will be free, practically, for seven or eight years, at all events in a large city like Victoria or Vancouver. Fraser River Bridge. The House went into committee on the bill respecting the granting of aid to the Fraser River bridge. Several clauses having been adopted, the committee rose and reported progress. At 5:30 p.m. the House rose. After recess the House again went into committee on the Fraser River bridge bill which was reported complete with amendments. Hon. Mr. Davie presented messages from His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor transmitting the following bills: To provide for the appointment of official scalers of sawlogs and other out timber; Respecting the Cariboo Hydraulic Mining Company; Respecting the Ilurs* fly Hydraulic Mining Company; To authorize the grant of certain lands to the Westminster k Vancouver Tramway Company. Ordered, that the messages and accompanying bills be taken into consideration tomorrow. The House took into consideration the report from committee of the whole on the municipal aot. Hon. Mr. Davie moved to amend the Sunday closing olause so that the except- tions shall read thus: "Conveying passengers or Her Majesty's mails by land or by water, the operating and running of railways, and street rail Aays,* lighting works, telegraph and telephone lines, and offices, hotels, restaurants,the delivery of messages, the printing, publication and delivery of newspapers before the hour of 9 o'olock a.m. the selling and delivery of milk, and uf drugs and medi ines.and works of necessity and charily excepted." Mr. Anderson moved an amendment to seotion 10-1 of the act, to provide that the corporation shall have power to limit and define an area within which nn fish, game, meat, poultry, etc, may be sold, except at the public markets. Lost on division. Further consideration of the report was adjourned, and at 11:35 p.m. the HouBe adjourned until 2 p tn. the following day. ou Dominion Day would draw a large body of strangers to the city and would be the means of a good deal of money being circulated. Wclland Canal Hen Excited. St. Catherines, Ont., March 29,���There is great excitement over the proposed re. duction in the number of men employed ou the Welland Canal. The Government has decided to make the lock tenders swing most of the bridges, aud as the old canal is to be closed to navigation, lie only men required on it are those who attend to the water privileges.

Mayor Hoy and City Solicitor McColl of New Westminster are atill in Victoria attending lo the city's interests in the matter of the Fraser River Bridge Bill now before the Legislative Assembly. A snowalide occurred up the Vancouver waterworks pipe line yesterday which stopped the water for a short time. City Engineer Tracy soon had a gang of men at work, and by night the pressure went up again.

The teama left New Westminster on Thursday morning by the Princess Louise. The boys expect to get to their destination on April 1st and on the following day will play their first match. Another interesting pamphlet on tbe Behring Sea question has been isbued, by- Andrew Wishait, who is one of the best authorities in Scotland on international law. He has taken considerable interest in British Columbia affairs, and lately was appointed a commissioner to administer oaths in maters relating to this Provinoe. The pamphlet has a good map of the sealing grounds, and i�� complete with an excerpt from the Kus. imi treaty of cession, the recent arbitration treaty aud the award. The stand taken by the author is indicated by his conceding paragraph, in which, after contrasting the United States' exclusive pretensions with regard to the portion of the Pacific affected, with their contentions against Canadian juris- tiou over the Atlautic inshore fisheries, he proceeds: "The seal fishery is a trifle beside the great fishery interests of Canada and Newfoundland on the Atlantic. These consulate a great source of natural wealth. It is not too much to say that they intimately concern the future stability aud security of the Eiupiro, and if the Behring Sea controversy had done nothing more than illustrate the excessive pretensions whioh Canadians have to combat in their efforts to preserve their greatest natural industry, it would have done something to correct that vacillation and incompetence which Canadian fishermen have too much reason to regard as a tradition of our colonial polioy." Summer's Harbinger. The Nanaimo Silver Cornet Band will give the first open air concert on the band stand at 7 p.m. Saturday evening. This will indeed be a harbinger of summer. �� ' Posters���large or small���at The Dailt Tklsoram. NANAIMO, B. C., FKIDAT, MARCH 30, 1894. "A FRAMING PICTURES. Protecting flcturea uf High Grade Art Excellence at a Trifling Coat. Many households are at the present time rich in accumulation of pictures of ^eim.iie artistic merits. Huch, f**r instance, ns ones included in the holiday numbers of the magazines and periodicals. While all may not be worth the trouble of preserving, A ribbon frame for riPTURB. net a few are worthy of framing and hanging at least in the sitting room and bed rooms of the average homes. To preserve one that pleases, a single frame can be made thnt is ample protection and costs but a trifle of labor and expense by following theBS directions, given in the New York Times: Gum the picture on a mat of bristol board, leaving a margin the width of the ribbon to be used, about 1 1-2 inches. Fit a piece of window glass over the mat and picture, holding it in place on either side with a band of ribbon passed quite around glass and mat and secured with a bow. A piece of narrower ribbon or wire attached to the mat and glass through a perforation hangs the picture. Is the Cellar Clean ? % % A writer in the New York Tribune oan- tions inexperienced housekeepers concerning the importance of cleanliness in every department ot the house as a sanitary nee essity. He says: Many a careful young mother who gnards her little ones with the most jealous care, and who oversees every detail connected with their well being, would be greatly surprised if she were told that if she wonld give less attention to the nursery and more to the cellar, for instance, her children would have fewer colds and sore throats. How many of our young dames, we wonder, visit daily all the underground portions of their houses, the dark closets, the pnssagPwavs and. above all, the cellar? And yet it is just those places that may nrri-ct the air of tne whole house. The plumbing and drainage of the dwelling ill the basement are of the greatest importance, and had air in the cellar may cause unpleasant throat troubles during the entire winter. It behooves every housekeeper, therefore, to see that the cellar is kept with as scrupulous care as the drawing room, In the first place it should be whitewashed every year. Lime in itself is a disinfectant, and it niakeB it much cleaner and lighter. Any servant can whitewash witli a suitable brush and the whitewash Itself is ea-ily made in the following way: I'm two quarts of tinslacked lime in an old tub. Pour a teakettlefnl of boiling water on it and clap a cover immediately over the tub. When cold, add enough water to make it of the consistency of milk, a little bluing and a handful of Bait nnd beat it well. The windows in the cellar should be w-shed frequently, and on every fine, sunshiny day let them stand open an hour or so. The floor, too, must be cleaned two *>r three times during the winter, and if the cement is broken it should be filled in. A well ventilated, clean oellar is of the first importance, and yet it is generally the last thing considered. Why Flowers Sleep at Night, Why should flowers Bleep? *vkR Sir John Lubbock in "The peantios of Na- tnre and the Wondt-rB of ti.e* World' \Vo Live In." Why should some flowers do ..-a and not others': Moreover, different !!*.>'.���.-- ers keep different hours. The daisy open.-* at sunrise anil closes at sunset, whenco its name "day's eye." The dandelion (leontodon) is said to open about 7 an i close about 5; Arenaria rubra to bo op.n from 9 to 3; the white water lily (nymph-am) from about 7 to 4; tho common mouse ear hawkweed (hieracium) fru'ii 8 to 8; the scarlet pimpernel (ana_allii) to waken at 7 and close soon after 2; Tragopogon pratensis to open al. 4 in the morning and close just before 12, whence its English name, "John go to bed nt noon." Farmers' boys in some parts are said to regulate their dinner time by it. Other flower, or the contrary, open in the evening. Now, it is obvious that flowers whioh are fertilized by night flying insects would derive no advantage from beiir; open by day, and. on tne other lwnd.that those which are fertilized by bees would gain nothing by b**ing open at night. Nay, it would be a ilUi met diBaclvantii re, because tt would render them liable to be robbed of their honey and pollen by insects which are not capable of fertilising them. I have ventured to suggest then that the closing of the flowers may have reference to the habits of the insects, and it may be observed also in support of this thnt wind fertilized flower:! do not sleep, and that many of those flowers which attract insects by smell open and emit their scent at particular hours. Thus Hesperus matronalis and Lychnis veepertina smell in the evening, and Orchis pif olia is particularly sweet at uight. , Louis Post-Dispatch.

Mr. Foster has delivered his budget speech. It appears that the readjustment of the tariff is expected to reduce the revenue about a million and a half dollars per annum. The readjustment is intended to simplify the tariff by abolishing mixed duties. Mr. Foster justly claimB that Canadian industries have been materially increased by the National Policy since 1878. He also argued that Canada's geographical position rendered it necessary that she should protect her industries. There is no question of this in the mind of any man of intelligence, who is not blinded by party spirit, or of the further fact that Canada's protective policy, steadily pursued since 1878, has been of the greatest advantage to her. Il has enabled her to manufacture for herself most of the things she needs, thus affording employment, to her own people; and the cost of goods to tha consumers has not been increased. It has on the contrary been lowered. But the time has comewhen a readjustment of the tariff, in the direction of lower duties, may safely be attempted. A vast number of changes are proposed by the Finance Minister���some six hundred. Some of these are of but slight importance to the people of this Province. One of the most important is that in regard to coke, which heretofore was when imported taxed 60 cents a ton, but will be henceforth free Mining and smelting machinery, not made in Canada, will be free up to May, 1896. The average duty on imported goods in Canada under the new tariff will be about 28 per cent, as compared with 30 per cent, under the Wilson tariff, as it stands at present. Descending to details, live animals will be taxed under the new tariff from 20 to 30 per cent; hogs, formerly two cents a pound, will now pay 25 per cent; fresh mutton is reduc ed from three cents to two cents; pork from one and a half cents per pound to 25 per cent.; lard and cottoleuo from three oents a pound to 25 per cent.; beeswax from 20 per cent to 10; candles to 25 percent, ad valor em; common soap from one und a half to one cent per pound; perfumed soup will be charged 35 per cent.; feathers 20 per cent dressed feathers 30 per ceit. Butter and cheese the same as at present; condensed milk and similar goods 30 per cent.; corn and barley remain the same, except that they are to be admitted free from countries which admit Canadian produce free. Oats are unchanged. Uncleaned rice is to be free, instead of being charged l"i per oent. Cleaned rice is to pay one cent per pound, instead of 1J. Rice and sago flour will be charged 25 per cent, starch, 1J cents per pound. Sweet potatoes and yams will pay 10 cents a bushel; pickles and sauces, 35 per cent. Garden seeds are unchanged; mustard cake is reduced five per cent. Hops will pay six cents a pound as before; fruit trees, three centa each fruit plants, 20 per'cent, ai) valorem. This ends the agricultural list. Books are changed from 15 per cent, to six cents pound, with 121 per cent, for royalty ou British copyiigho b oka. This is lo be the rate of duty on books till March 27th, 1895, when it will be six centa a pound on all. In illuminating oila there is lo be no change this year; but on oila coming in barrels, the duty on each barrel ia to be 20 per cent. Linseed and flax seed oil are reduced from H cents per pound to 25 per cent. Olive oil in hulk for manufacturing purposes has been plaoed on the free list. Ochres and siennas are reduced from 30 to 20 per cent., and turpentine to five per cent. China and earthenware are to pay 30 per cent.; plate glass, small sizes, tour cents per square foot; marble and slate in the rough, 30 per -cent.; slate pencils, 20 per cent.; leather board, 20 per cent.; leather in skins, belting leather, and sole leather of all kinds are slightly reduoed. Pi? iron remains at $4 per ton; bar iron is reduoed from $13 per (on to $10; a larpe redaction has been made on steel, on iron sheets thinner than 17 gauge, and on boiler plate. Forgings of iron and steel are to be 35 per cent., and steel rails 90 per cent. Nails are to be oharged 30 per cent.; house furnishing hard- wan, 32} par cent.; hatchets, mattocks, picks, 90par cent.; axes, lawn mowers, hoes, shovels, spades, 35 per cent.; surgical and dental instruments, 15 per cent. Railway locomotives will be oharged 35 per ceut. On agricultural implements the duty is reduced from 35 to 20 per cent. On sewing machines the duty is to be 30 per cent., and on pumps and windmills the same. On barbed wire the duty ia reduced from IJ to j centa per lb. Lead ia unchanged. Plumbago is reduced from 15 to 10 per cent. Farm wagons and similar vehicles are to pay 25 per cent.; all other carriages 35 per cent. Musical instruments will be charged 30 per cent. The sugar duties are ta be but slightly changed. The color standard has been raised to 16 Dutch standard, all above 16 are unchanged. Grey and unbleached cotton will be charged 22J per cent., white or bleached25 per cent., and cotton fabrica 30 per cent. Binder twine iB kept at 12J per cent. BagB will be charged 20 per cent. The silk duties are unchanged. Manufactures from wool are to be charged 30 per cent. Fertilizers are reduced from 20 to 10 per cent. Druga, acids, and dye stuffs have been placed on the free list. In tobaccos and spirituous liquors there is no change. In coal oil also there is none, but on the barrels containing it the duty has been reduced from 40 to 20 cents. Manufactured lumber, including railway ties, staves, shingles, pickers, etc., is to be made free, but if any country imposes a duty on the above classes of lumber the Government may by proclamation impose an export duty on logB. The above are the chief details of the proposed new tariff. The reductions are considerable and will amount in the aggregate, as stated above, to about $1,500,000 a year. The Finance Minister calls this a sharp cut, but says that he has every hope that the revenue will soon acquire buoyancy. XVe think that the policy of the Government, in preserving the principle of the National Policy, while lowering the tariff so far as the requirements of the revenue will permit, ia wise and ought to be supported by the people at large.

RECEIVED THE HIGHEST MEDALS AND DIPLOMAS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. LABOUCHERE BROUGHT TO BOOK Mr. Labouchere, who has been making himself conspicuous and obnoxious to every one but rabid Radicals as un-English and unpatriotic as himself, by the way he has been talking in his paper, miscalled Truth, of the way the British forces acted in the Matabele war, branding them as marauders and murderers, has been roundly taken to task by Major-General R. C. Money, who had a son in Wilson's party and who, of course, was killed along with the rest. General Money squarely charges Labouchere with publishing "cowardly lieB" regarding the forcea engaged on the British side, say ing that he lias not heard the laat of his cowardly attack, that he haa raised "such a storm over his head that he will doubtless ere it ia passed wish that he possessed one-millionth part of the bravery and honor of those whom he has so falsely accused." It is almost to be regretted that Prince Albert, when Priuce Consort, made himself so active in suppressing the practice of duelling in England, else such fellows as Labouchere would not dare to publish their foul calumnies of better men, fearing that if they did they would be made to answer for them in a way that cowards would very much dislike. But in our day nothing can be done to them. The law does not apply in auch cases, and as they simply laugh when they are told that they are oowardly liars, not having honor enough to feel the reproach, they practically go scot-tree. Mr. Labouchere is a specially bad example of the class, filled with envy and hatred of all who possess higher rank than himself, whom he makes il his special mission io life if possible to abase. Of course he is a speoial favorite with the RadicalB, who hate and envy aa much aa he does himself all who are of a rank superior to their own. Libouchore'a taunts and lies are especially provoking, because he owns a paper in which to publish them, and possess just ability enough to make them sometimes ludicious and always irritating. He belongs to a class of men who since the days of Thersites have always been detested by brave and honorable men, and who deserve like him to be soundly thrashed, when their impudence beoomes too great to be any longer tolerated.

Thk London Times in a leading article in ita issue of yeaterday heartily applauds the Canadian Government for reducing the tariff and ehanging its polioy from high and dry protection to one of moderate protection. It congratulates both British and Canadian business men on the result. Some 600 Canadian grape growers have petitioned the Dominion Government, ask ing that the French treaty be not ratified. The value of the grape and wiuo intereata in Canada, it is claimed, amounts to nearly $6,000,000. Few people heretofore imagined that it amounted to anything like that sum. A motion has been introduced in the American Senate by Senator Dolph of Washington to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which the Americans olaim was never observed by Great Britain. The treaty forbids the construction of the Nioar agua canal, henoe the attempt to have it ahiogated. The funeral of Louis Kossuth is proceeding this week with great pomp and ceremony.

The ring of the hammer on the anvil haa had au attraction for The Tixeokam man from his earliest youth.

Aa a man, the fondness haa not left him, and tho sight of Mr. Craig's ahop on Baation atreet waa an attraction he could not reaist. But he waa not prepared to find a ahop so complete in all its details, nor auch a quantity of finished and partly finished work, nor yet Buch an extensive establishment aa Mr. Craig haa. The blacksmith shop has two forges, swages and dies of massive size for hexagon or round work, a tire upsetting machine, an emery wheel stand with two wheels of Hart's (of Hamilton) celebrated wire web pattern, besides all the vices and other toolaa first-class ahop ia in need of.

Is prepared to undertake any sales with which you may entrust him, and can guarantee to get you fair and proper prices. KITCHIN'S DREAM Business being only quiet, I spent the afternoon till dark doing somewhat heavy work in the garden, and having dined sat me down in the same arm chair I've sat in many times before in my happy home in dear old England, and many a "forty winks" have I had in that same chair. I was very tired and feeling very sleepy, said to my dear wife, "If I fall asleep let me sleep on." And fall asleep I did, and dreamt the following dream:��� I was in the garden, spade in hand, when a fine-looking elderly man, with snow white t air and beard, and ruddy, honest face, that showid unmistakably that he was a man who had weathered it more ways than one, came to the gate and said "I also have b en a worker, and seen much of the world and its 'ups and downs.' For forty years I was a miner���come alorg with me and I will show you something worth the seeing." I laid down my spade ani involuntarily followed him. When on Front street he said: "See you those vessels in the bay? That's the commencement of better times, and there are real good times ahea**l for your good C ty of Nanaimo. The worst is pa<st, not to return for years, if ever, hut that I guess you know yourself. See you that tramway ?" I could not, but thought I should. "I want you to go with me by boat to Vancouver and on to the richest country, or one of them, on God's earth, the Kaslo-Slocan country;" and so we went. Once on board, the old man, putting his strong hand on my shoulder, said: "I guess you also have seen some of the ups and downs of this wicked world." "That's so," I said, "but 'Never Say Die,' is my motto, and I mean to get there yet." "Well said," replied my friend, "theu you will not regret this journey." From boat to trail), and then we seemed to fly, and landed in a country teeming with untold wealth. Mine after mine he showed me, and seemed to know many of the workers. "This is no talk, no idle fancy," said he, "there it is before your eyes, unto'd wealth;" and so it was���unmistakably. Wc then followed, as I remember, the track of ihe Kaslo-Sl can Railway. c'ln less than three months from now, my friend," said he, "the rails will be down and trains running into Kaslo; and here we are in Kaslo itself. I must Icve you now, mate good use of your opportunity, and if y* u have the pluck you'r credited with, (and but for that I should not have sought you out), I say if you have the sense I think you have, put your last dollar into Kaslo, and grow rich." I turned to thank him for his good advice, and saying I would act upon it, stretched out my hand, but his was gon<, it was my wife's I grasped, "You seemed so restless, Tom, I thought I'd wake you, [t's time to go to bed " she said. And to bed I went. This dream is a fact. It may have arisen from the unbounded confidence I havi* in the future of NANAIMO, B. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 30. _8��4. OOPVHiaMV, I....

He flung himself into a restful position against a tree and looked over ut the windows where at times Virginia's shadow touched the shade. His fact* had grown haggard; his eyes were alight. Oh, he loved her! It seemed now he had always loved her. "To tell hei^-oh, to tell herr was his Muttered cry. "Oh, if I had something to offer worth her taking���not my beg gar's portion, not the ashes of my dreams. Virginia���dear, tender, sweet voiced. Strong hearted Virginia, 1 am not fit to love you." And now a Btate of feeling beyond expression or definition assailed him and held him as in a coil. It was strange, subtle, exquisitely sad. The mist aud ruin were part of it. the blustery darkness, the troubled breath in the trees, the longing and indecision in his soul, the ache of passion, the ambition so limitless and unavailing, the dull acquiescence of the conquered. How merciless destiny seemed in that moment! How empty the world! The race so long, so tiring, ending���even at the best���iu what? He waa stirred to an ecstatic) sadnam. Something vital fniakened In _��� oon- 0ciousneaa, ' The- swcnity of his fciir, nntempte'd year* sank from 6ight, and he seemed to look down an illuminated depth into the very heart of life. Love and death were there; agony nndsin; joy, derision, temptation, despair; the curse of the suicide, the laughter of young girls, the sorrow that cries in tho night, tt was all so terribly clear. It racked him, inundated him, knitted itself to him. , One after another faces arose, young and old; hands seemed outstretched. He heard words that contained the glory and fire of diamonds, so real they were, so trenchant. Oh, if he could but write them as they thronged into his mintj���if he could tell the wonderful story that unfolded itself before him like a scroll upon the darkness���might not some stand and listen? He shivered and looked around, emerging from his waking dream as from a trance, and almost startled to find himself alone. What was this tnarvelons change? He seemed on the threshold of a secret, the door open to his hand. He was as one born again under new conditions, with keener faculties for ���reasoning and feeling. A lire had touched lii.ii���a fire of love. It lightened tho dark places of his nature, melted the crust that held the currents of knowledge Imprisoned, and he felt stimulated to walk victorious whore before Ire had stumbled. He thought of the play that bnt a short while since had been so dear a thing to him. Grade, false and sterile it seemed now. ��� And yet to venture again���dare he do It? Even while he questioned he knew he must. His fingers tingled to grasp a pen. The delight of the artist, the creator, quivered through him. It was tempered by a sickening edge of dread, bat still it was delight. In a little while he waa again In his own room tearing the leaves of tho rejected play to pieces. He flung them into the grate and touched them with a match. "Virginia was right*," ho said, his voice broken, ae if lie had run a long way, and indeed his inner self had journeyed to far, undreamed of heights that night. ���You are __��. _ota word of you ahull VsfStP m/r l,-J . ;>��*. \,\-i;!i!i. -iVi/z] "Tern art ftmmx Sot a word of vou sKaU me." He stood with bowed head watching tbe papers. They rustled in a swirl of wind and flame, subsided into spasmodic flickerings, and nothing was left hut a handful of charred fragments light as thistle down. "God, help me! Give me my dream," bo, murmured, his lips scarcely moving. A sustained burst of deep toned sound from the organ floated to him through tie closed doora. It thrilled him to the h-iirt. He seemed to hear Virginia's stanch words ia their delicate intonations: "I believe ta yon, Tom." Loader the music rolled, higher, sweeter, one keen minor note transcending the heavier volume and crowning it like a star. The man's longing eyes brightened as he listened. The festival of. Jijirinony augmented his |t*rength. His love riished out to meet it lflte'lloofl nieetitig'flood. Virginia seemed playing a pasan of sanctified victory fit for a crusader who holds his standard aloft, though a rankling wound pales his lips. Be would accept her rni*ssaa*e> Until the last vibration had sunk te a r whisper he stood sal CH_pr__ iv. The Inspiration did not desert him. All day and far into et.ca ni "lit he wrote with felicitous ease. No hint of his love passed his lips to Virginia. Pride, with .*. promiseot ultimate victory in its warn- ;u<j voicft b:lde pabsion wait. "You are nothing, you have nothing now, b:-.t foino day yuu will. Some day yon may dare ask her to add her love��� ihe richest jewel���to a measure alreadv full." And so the time went by with an outward seeming of ovi-ntful quietude, and October came. Virginia sat alone one bright afternoon. She was painting a panel for a fashionable shop that was pleased to ac- copt her work and pay as littlo as was ; oesible for it. Her head wa.-i bent low, and a loosened strand of hair swept her cheek. Her figure in its inclined posi- ; ion revealed a supple strength and com- i'k'to repose. The little maid who helped her about tho house had departed, and the room was quiet, eavo that a tiny while kitten purred before the stove and tho clock ticked upon the mantel. And how a ..lock can tick in a silent room! Question it: it answers you. Sit mute, and it voices your thoughts. Virginia laid : her brush down and listened to it. There was something pathetically childish about her as she sat there, her chin upon her open hand, her dilated eyes couched under the delicate brows, mirroring the passionate regret that of late had poisoned aU her days. She was pot in Tom's confidence now. ! r-'he did not share his walks. The gay familiar companionship so unutterably dear was ended. He did not k::ow���he never must know���how often she had < r*=pt to Li**: door late at night to listen to ihe scratch of his impetuous pen. Perhaps her words bad stung him to ���roch violent activity he would scon leave them to fight fortiine in a wider field. A startled breath broke upon her ftps, What would this place be without himV What would her life be? The clock answered with a cynical, knowing tick. A shadowy wave of desolation rushed over her, and tho roopi grew dark. Her hands fell dowu helplessly. The clock ticked louder, like a garrulous crone foretelling disaster. "Virginia!" fell upon her ears with a soft suddenness that startled her. The panel slipped from her knees, and grasping the arms of the chair she turned her head to .find Tom standing above her. "I have been watching you for a full minute," he said, throwing his hat down and drawing over a low stool, so that he faced her. In the hushed, masterful whisper she recognized something unusual. Something unusual in his face too. Repression was there, excitement, joy. "I didn't hear you come in," Virginia answered, her voice sounding thick and far away in her own ears. She half stooped to draw back the piece of satin on which a hunch of daisies was still wet. He caught her hand and with gentle fingers that brooked no resistance took the thing away and placed it out of her reach. "Dear little hand!" and his voice was heavy with love, "dear, faithful little hand I Let it rest awhile here, Virginia." The girl shivered as one does who rushes from a cold vault into the sunlight. "Look at met" she heard him saying in a half suppressed voice of intense exultation. "I am the happiest fellow in New York. You told me you believed in me. You told me that. Oh, Virginia, how those words have staid with me! And you were right. I have succeeded. My last play was accepted aud by the man who rejected all the others." A boyish laugh of pare delight loft his lips, and he sank on his knees beside her. "I'd like to set all the bells in the chapel pealing, call out the fellows and tell them the exchange was not so bad after all. Not so bad, eh, Virginia?" he asked, thinking how lovely were the velvety deeps of her eyes. "It is so sudden, so strange. But, oh, there is such gladness and light in my heart for you, Tom! Tell me more, tell me all about it." He leaned closer. She felt his hand upon her shoulder. His mouth, in its lithe, boyish curves, was very near her own. , "There is something else I must tell you first," he said slowly. In that long, sultry look she knew all. Her pulses quickened, a fire grew in her heart. He loved her, then? Oh, he did, he did! Their faces were bo close there was a resistless iinpuh-*. a moment of confused, delirious joy. and their lips clung in a kiss that drew Virginia's heurt with it. Tom's lids foil henvily, He was very white, A great sign came from his lips: "Virginia" But the door opened. Tom had scarcely time to stand up'. efprehor father came In, followed by a boy with a package. The old man was aglow with pleasurable excitement. He closed the door after the messenger, crossed the room ,in his graceful, stately way and shook hands with Tom. "I have had a pleasant day," he said briskly. "Such a delightful coincidence! What* would life be without the unexpected? Have you ever thought of that, Tom?" "I am thinking of it now, sir," and he exchanged a fleeting glance or arch meaning with Virginia. ."But I differ with you slightly. The unexpected can prove ���well, at some moments���an out and out nuisance." "When it's of an unpleasant nature, yes, of course���my slippers, Virginia��� thank you, my dear���but when it carries you back to a pleasant -time and surrounds you with happy memories���ah, then!"

If you live in what you consider an enterprising city and believe that your local daily paper is first- class, write to the publisher of Thk Daily Telegram, Nanaimo, British Columbia, and ask for a sample copy of his paper, and when you obtain it compare it with your home production. Go down and talk with the publisher about it afterwards, and ask him why it is that he can't print as good a paper, or, obtain as good a local patronage, or have his paper as free from dead head or objectionable advertisemen's? A useful lesson may bo learned from Nanaimo." TENDERS TENDERS will he received up to 15th April, 1894, lor the purchase of Lot 11, Block 26, Prideaux street.
