In Ihe most serious pursuits of life incidents occasionally arise whioh are calculated to provoke mirth. So they ol the flush times in California would have their prac tical jokes, no iJiattcr how serious the business in whioh they were engaged. One night during the summer of .18,16, when the vigilance committee bf San Francisco was in active operation clearing the city of the criminal element with which it was so sorely infested, there was an arrest to be made. The order was accordingly written out and signed by the terrible symbol, "No. 33, secretary," when Bossange begged com mand of the party. It so happened that Bluxotne, the secretary, was indebted to Bossange for some prank played upon him, and the former thought it about time to liquidate. Bossange being a Frenchman, was not so familiar with the Oalifornian English as with that found in the popular phrase-books; though the barroom idioms wero not usual- ly the last for foreigners to learn. "All right," said Bluxotne as he fil'ed the blank ih the order with the name of his friend Bossange, "all right; the man's name is Toddy. He is usually seen loafing at the bar-room of the Union Hotel." Meanwhile Bluxotne notified the bar-keeper, who, it happened was a personal friend of Bossange. Put ting on an air of non-challance deemed necessary in trapping keen scented game, Bossange strolled up to the bar, his men all alive on the watch at the door. "I want one Toddy," whispered Bossange. ''Certainly," replied the, bar-keeper, "which will you have, brandy toddy or whisky toddyl"—From Bancroft's Popular Tribunals. -, Lucky Discovery of Jewels. Some years ago Edison, the electric wizard, was convinced that plantiuum existed in North Carolina. He sent Willian Earl Hidden, an accomplished mineralogist, in search of it, Professor Hidden little knew at tho time how full of results to him that pursuit of platinum would be. He could not find the desired mineral but he found something far better. Being in Alexander county, a quiet part of the State, many miles from a railway, he was directed by J. A. D. Stevenson to gem-bearing ground, and looking a little more narrowly, found aome of the gems. He purchased some land, returned to Edison and reported his vain quest of platinum, then came back to North Carolina, He went to work to develop his mine. Sinking a shaft in a simple way, he gradually made the opening larger until superficially the mine presented the aspect of a stone quarry. Out of this rude pit iu the earth were taken unnumbered gems—one hitherto unknown. To this J. Lawrence Smith of St. Louis, an eminent scientist, gave Hidden'! name, and "Hiddonite," the equivalent ot the diamond in value, became instantly the fashion. Its tender-tinted green crystals, its intense hardness and its new, beauties when cut, wero only some of its charms. From the day of its dis covery to the present it has been a hopeless task to supply the demand for it. Every Hiddenite found is already purchased long in advance. But strange as is this flashing green miracle of the earth, tho place of its birth is still stranger. The laborers who are working in tho mine handle their picks with the greatest care. They are on the watch for "pockets." Possibly for an hour the digging goes on and no "pockets" is struck. Presently the pick goes into au opening, with tender fingers the earth is partially removed and finally tho miner feels with' his hands every portion of the wnlls of the opening. It may happen that his search is in vain, but it is oftenor the case that his fingers touch little crystals that are so imbedded in the sidts of the pocket that their points project outward. They are carefully picked out. Perhaps all are beryls, perhaps there are a dozen kinds of gems, or yrrt again it mny be that there are only Hiddenites, Sometimes gems worth hundreds of dollars are thus taken from one pocket.—5*.

G.—Tlio Orow Indian affair came toa head yeaterday. The Indians held a big council in tho morning among themselves and disclaimed any intention to light Oen, Ruger, who had sent .James Campbell and the interpreter/ "Tobacco Jake," down to learn their intentions. Gen. Armstrong had told thorn that he hod been sent by the Groat Father to settle the trouble with tbe crows, but that they had been bad, and that they must give up these bad men to the soldiers, and as they had been bad tie had turned the matter over entirely to Gen. Ruger, who would deal with them as he saw fit. Pretty Eagle said: "We will give up Sword Bearer, but we cannot give up the others that are wanted." Geu. Ruger then said: "I want all the seven that fired into the agency building, and will give them one hour and one- half to como in." He then said to Crazy Head he must bring his son, who was one of them. Crazy Head replied that they would go back to camp and talk to Sword Bearer. Gen. Ruger said: "That is all I have to say." The Indians were patiently watched by the command until the time was up, when a few scattering shells were fired into the air at this time. The time being up, Gon. Ruger sent troops E and K down the valley on the left flank of the Indians, where they were met by about half of the Indians, gathered in a war party which numbered ubout 160. A red hot skirmish resulted, iu 'which Corporal Chas. Simpson was killed, Private Eugene Mullon slightly wounded, and Private Clark was thrown from his horse aud his shoulder dislocated. These were all in troop K, commanded by Lieut. Edwards and 2nd Lieut. Byrani. A running fight ensued, the Indians retreating to a peaceful gathering which was near the agency, and others cross- ' ing the river aud taking to the hills. Sword Bearer made a final stand at the crossing of the Littlo Horn Rivor about a mile below tlie agency, in which ho aud probably three of his followers were killed. This was the result of the skirmish and tho lire of G troop of the 1st cavalry, commanded by Capt. F. J^f. I'lrlram aud Lieut. J. B. Aileshire. Sword Bearer's body was brought to the camp, but five other Indiana only were reported dead. MB. CHAMBERLAIN AT NBW YORK. New York, Nov. 7—Mr. Josoph Chamberlain was taken off the Bteam- ship Etruriu at quarantine by a revenue cutter furnished by the government authorities, and brought to the city. He was met by Mr. William Lane Booker, the British consul-general; Hon. Win. Smith, doputy minister of marine of Canada; and Secretary Edwards, of the British legation. The party were driven to the Brevoert House, where Mr. Chamberlain will stop whilo in New York. Iu au interview this evening, Mr. Chamberlain said that ho had left English polities behind him. and must decline to answer questions now in regard to the questions at present in controversy in Great Britain. He would not pay much attention to tbo statements nf tho Canndian papers that he had been appointed commissioner in order to complicate the Irish difficulty. He declined to answer questions concerning tho probable notion of the fishery commissioners, or the line of their discussions. Being asked whethor tho Bubject of Canadian commercial union commended itself to any considerable numbor of people, he replied: "I do net know that there is anything except suggestions made by ctrrtrrir persons in Caiiadu. I mn not prepared to say how far it commends itself to any considerable portion of tlio Canadian poo- plo. 1 do not think tlio matter has roeeiverl nny consideration in England at present. It has nut come beforo tho English peoplo inn shape to require serious consideration. I observe that ono or two Canadian papers attack me vory warmly, but I think thoy misapprehend my position iu the matter. Mr. Chamberlain was asked if the idea of commercial union would bo phasing to the English people, and ho replied ho thought they would be scarcely willing to grant it because the great advantage of England's connection with the self-governing colonies is tho fact ttiat trade follows tho flag. If that advantage is lost, it is difficult to seo why England should retain the obligation throrvn upon her for their defense. He was asked whether the settlement of tho Irish question will tako vory long. His reply wns: "No man cau toll; I do not think it will be settled iu uur time." The subject of free trade versus fair trade being introduced, Mr. Chamberlain announced himself as n freo trader, aa opposed to fair tnde. He was asked whether the socialists nre making muoh headway in London, and said ho did not think thoy havo a largo following, that he did not fear anything from them. Mr. Chamberlain said no detoctivoB lind como from England with him ns reported. Ho had no doubt that tho United States will tako vory gor)diniro_ of her guests. He had no fears on' the subject. Two detectives were, however, on duty in tho corridors of the hotel, and it is understood they will net ns a body guard during his stay. It is not known by whom thoy aro furnished.

Last week we showed that tho federal government could not defend its disallowance of provincial railway charters either on the ground of the agreement with the C. P. K. (since tho monopoly clause could not be applied to provinces existing at the time of its ratification), or because the road was built to tho boundary. The ground on which disallowance hns been exercised is the general power of the fedoral authority to veto any provincial legislation whatever. The existence of thia power is not denied, but we quoted aome excellent authorities (or tbe purpose of showing that it - waa never contemplated by the Iramen of the constitution that it should be exercised in tho way in which it has been exercised of late years. The authorities we quoted were Sir John Macdonald and Lord Carnarvon. As the matter is one of very great consequence, lying, as it does, at the very foundation of the confederacy, we shall proceed now to quote the views held by Sir John Macdonald in 1873. In that year Mr. Costigan presented his famous resolutions for the disallowance of the Kew Brunswick sohool aot. Speaking to these resolutions Sir John, alter stating that he had always held the opinion that the union of the Canadian provinces ahould have been a legislative and not a federal union, said: "It was true he had been charged by some honorable gentlemen with a desire to strengthen the central power to the disadvantage of the provincial governments and legislatures. It might be so, though he had endeavored to prevent his own predilection for a legislative over a federal union from influencing his nlind; but if a resolution like this waa adopted formally and solemnly by the Dominion legislature, he must say that his original ideas had been entirely carried out, that the legislative union had commenced, ana the whole real power and authority of all the powers of government had been transferred bom the provincial legislatures to the Dominion parliament If the ultimate power Of decision as to what is right and what is wrong was to be vetted in this parliament, where waa there a vestige o" the use, of the power, of the benefit or advantage of all our paraphernalia of provincial governments and provincial legislatures! If they were to deal hen authoritatively and to order the governor-general to disallow such mils as they thought the local legislatures ought not to have passed, they would have wiped off the-ilate, a> with a wet sponge, the influence and authority of the local governments and legislatures, and have centred it all in the Canadian parliament Was the house prepared lor this) Waa it prepared to assume that new responsibility and alter in spirit tbe constitution! They might keep np the sham of provincial legislatures, but what would they be but thams if at any time the memben for the other provinces diugreeing with the policy deliberately adopted by the legislature of any one province could alter thnt policy! * * * The question was not whether this house thought a local legialatuie was right or wrong, but the; thould say at once that they had no right to interfere so long as the different provincial legislatures acted within the bounds of the authority which the constitution gave them. There was this fixed principle, that every provincial legislature should feel that when it was legislating it was legislating in reality and not in the sham. If they did not know and feel that the men- lure they were discussing and amending to suit their own people would become law, it was a sham—the federal aystem was gono forever. * * * 11 the house adopted this resolution (asking lor the disallowance of a provincial bill) it would be a great misfortune for the constitution. He believed it would affect the constitutions ol the country and the permanence of our institutions. He believed it would destroy the independence of the provincial legislature!. He believed that the institutions Md laws of no province weeld be aale hereafter. For all thin considerations he hoped that thit measure would not be adopted. II it were adopted, if this house undertook the great responsibility ol interfering with the local laws, tbtj must be prepared to discuss the justioe or injustice ol every law passed by every provincial legisla- latare; and this house, instead of being the general court of parliament for the decision of great Dominion questions, Would be simply a oourt of appeal to try whether the provincial legislatures were right or wrong in tha conclusions to whicli they came. II this loase was pro- pared to adopt thr.t prirc'.ple, then the government ol the day would have the power, the authority and the control of a majority ove.- every bill, every act, every conclusion, every institution, every right of aterj province in Oanada." Nothing oould be clearer than the principle laid down by Sir John, that the -vteto power should be exercised with respect only to such legislation as isbofOBd the power of provincial legislatures. The application of that principle to provincial l-nilwiry charters <m the1 plea that tliey are con- rirat*f to the general policy of tho country shows how directly Sir John lias set himself against the principle ho so ably defended in 1873. His present action is, in his own words, an alteration of the spirit of tho constitution. Thos. Sabin, of Eglington, sayH: "I have removed ten corns from my feet with Holloway's Corn Cure."

An Kjport Stenographer Who Cun Wrltd On.^MaguM! Speak Anollrerr SUnaUWMWly. "How long have yon lived here The lawyer was taking the deposition ol a witness in Iris office in the Mills building. Tho pencil of the stenographer was moving rapidly over his paper, leaving behind it a string of pot-hooks and other absurd symbols of speech. "You say that you havo known tho defendant for tlie past ten years. Now, I want to ask yon whether at any time during thnt porlad you ever noticed any symptom, of insanity in his behavior? continued tho lawyra. Atthe instant the lawyer begun this query the stenographer turned to tha reporter, who was seiited by his side at the table, and, without stopping his writing for a nccon 1, whispered: "Wait a mo mint and I'll, ho through, Thia won't last much longor." Tho reporter looked anxiously at the notes, expecting to- see the pencil stop its truvclri, or nt least at the ond of Mvj question)*, retrace its stops to revise some phrases incorrectly transcribed. But it made no such break. When tho lawyer ended his inquiry tbo pencil slopped. "Sow, str," continued the lawyer, "you may tell me whether you were well enough acquainted with the defendant to know whether he showed any weakness 01' mind or net V" Before tho stenographer had completed the second line of his report he again whispered to tho reporter not to be in a hurry, and, as beforo, concluded his work without a part.cle of apparent interruption. This was ths last question, and after tho papers were gathered together and tho Witness hnd loft the oHiee, the reporter natal the stenograph rr whether He hart written correctly all that was said verbatim or had only epitomized what had been spoken. "I wrote exactly what was said. Why do you ask'" "ton you read it without difficulty ?" "Of course I can, otherwise I should not bo hero; but.Why do you ask r" "I didn't see how you could write down what was being spoken and speak to me upon another subject at the same time." 'That ts easy enough to do," responded tho stenographer with a lauijh, ''when you only know how and practice long enough. Shorthonl writing is very much like playing the piano or ro- £ eating something from memory, lt > mechanical. I found years ago when I was reporting in a Western court, that it was extremely useful to be able to hear and think 01 othrr things transpiring in the court room than the evidence itself. I then began practising so that I could train myself to do two separate things at tlio same time. I would mentally make noto of everything occurring around me and keep on with. my writing. At flrst I would mako a mistake or two, but I gradually got so that I could hear everything that was said and understood it too, notwithstanding the fact that my pencil was moving all the time." "I should think that when yon began to speak it would have thrown yon off your track?" "It did at first. I learned that by j committing to memory some po»«and ' repeating it whilo I was reporting, un- til at last I could carry on a conversation on almost any subject and write from dictation upon one entirely dill'er- cut. It's a very useful accomplishment, but I wouldn't advise you to iVririi it unless yon intend to become a professional stenographer, and I would not advise that unless you have nothing better to do than to break stones in the 'streets." WMewOwtealii. "How do yon manage to have 10 many beautiful plants?" is a question often isked of succesful window gardeners, and we feel inclined to answer as did the doctor in the case of the old lady who had been taking too much medicine, that all that ia needed is, "Light, and wator, and air." But then ore ao many things Involved in these threo that it fijwell, perhaps, to be a little more explicit. A window facing the south ia the beat, with a glass door era curtain to shut off draughts and exclude dust Sprinkling the leaves with a tine brush, if a syringe is not practicable, will help to keep the breathing pores open and healthy, which every pionteequires. Injudicious watering often destroys plants. No rule can bo given, bnt the first thing is to see that they ore kept moist, but net saturated, and that the water used is about the temperature of the room. For the green Hy, and all other common insects, there wnothingso effectual asamlxture of Irellehere and soapsuds, to which is ad.led a little kerosene that has been lirst mixed in milk, aa it will not combine with water. All soft-wooded "plants should"T3 placed nearest the light; the harder ones in the rear., In potting see that there is good drainage of broken pots or any rough material that will not clog and sour tho soil. Too much heat ii often given, and many plants, as roses, azaleas, camellias, aloysia citrtodora, the various lycopods, hyacinths and other bid ns of thai sort, will thrive in a room without a Are if there is no frost. The best soil Is one-third leaf mould, two- thirds good tusfy sod. weil-nstted, and a ImloHiinU added to the mixture. Fine nianuro is beneficial to geraniums and t.i bulbs box matt plants thirve beat in. iiiiinilrewater. Uasifraga unbrasa and llio l.ySlmacbia nummularis ore safe brisket plants, while the ivies stand cool Heat nent if given shade and water. It is agreed that the gas from a furnace is more injurious to plants than illuminating gas, but by proper attention to moisture and the screening of the win- don-from dust and excessive heat, It ia possible to- be successful in window- leardirniiig. Keep a thermometer in the room, never more than 7o9 by day and 4*. at night. Thia will be ths best guide. Nickel li on elementary metal. It was Ant obtained as a metal about 1751 in Gernnny. But the ore bid been long known to miners, who called it Kupfer nickel, or Old Niek'a copper, because though it looked like copper ore, no copper could be obtained from it. When pure, nickel is silvery white, and does not oxidiww tarnish in the air. It can easily be hammered ont into thin sheets or drawn into wire; It is stronger than iron, and almost as hard to melt Its chief use is ter plating other metals, aa It gives tliem a beautiful, silverlike surface which is quite easily kept'from rusting. It is also need in alloys. German silver is made by tricing one part nickel, one part zinc, and two puts copper. Onr five and three cent pieces ore mode ol three Earts copper and one part nickel., Nickel 1 found In many parts ol the world, but the principal mines an In Russia, Germany, Sweden, Austria, England and Scotland.

THB eribOROr*-JM MVTHi Aii OU Detective Explodes the Familiar BeUeflnt'ioUso of Chloroform Uy Burglars, An old detective, in the employ of Inspector Byrnes, was telling a bloodcurdling tale of midnight robbery. "Why didn't tlie burglar chloroform tbe man tho moment he got into the room?" inquired the reporter. "You sny he was there half an liour.before tho man woke up and captured him." "Don't I tell you thot tho man was over six feet tall and as strong ss a bull, while the burglar was only a boy sixteen years old. "iw, bnt what ol that?' "Did you ever see n man chloroformed?" "No." "Will you go into a doctor's offlee sometime and seo how it is done ? Unless a man is held down by force or sn limits himself willingly to Iho operation it is impossible to chloroform him." "Yes, but this man was in a sound sleep." "What ol that? Do you know how long it takes to put a man under the influence of chloroform ?" "A minute or so, I suppose." "Tivo or throe minutes rather, and tho lirst application of the drug is certain to waken any living mnn who is not uwler-the influence of some powerful narcotic. Before he had taken two whitfs of the anesthetic he would have been wide awake, and the robber would have been captured half an hour earlier than he was." "But they do chloroform peoplo sometimes, don't they V" asked the reporter. "If you refer to doctors, I would Bay yes, but if you mean burglars, I would may no. I don't know a single iristan -rr, though the public and the press believe there are many every month, I think I can prove it to yon. Every case wliere a man iB chloroformed, according to his own account of his adventure, he lias recovered. How often do you hear of men dying under the influence of chloroform whon it is carefully administered by a skilled physician? Very often indeed. Tho chloroform must be properly mixed with fresh nir, and even then the experiment is ofion fatal. Now, do you think that an ignorant burglar could always avoid killing his victim ? Neither do I nor any one olso who has given tho subject a closo study, "No, sir," added the detectivo in conclusion. "I tell you, chloroforming persons by thieves is a myth and a fraud. It is a story originated by the victims to add a more startling flavor to their yarns and to account more clearly for their weak submission, which I have found is caused more by fear than chloroform."

Preparations have been made by the authorities to meet a riot; but there will be great excitement, and it is feared that the day will not close without bloodshed. If the lord mayor would abandon his show, and give to the poor an amount equal to that which will be expended in conneotion with a senseless parade, ho would display great good sense. , . . Rather Over Brawn. One of tlur Sound papora announces that the government ore sending out 9,000,000 of salmon eggs from New Brunswick to this coast. These figures are slightly over-estimated as the government are really only sending out 100,000 at present. Probably the mistake arose through au article published in tho Columbian, and since extensively copied, to tho effect that something over 0 millions of salmon eggs were already deposited in the: hatchery here. The government have no intention of bringing so many niil- lionsof Atlantic salmon eggs tothis const, and thoso being sent out are merely intended as nn experiments. The Kootenay Indians. It is stated by a gentleman well acquainted with Kootenay matters that Isidore is bent upon creating trouble, if he can possibly do it, and to this end hu interested in his cause the Stoneys und Blsckfeet on tho eastern slope of the Rockies, and thoFlathends and some American Indians. He says that, though Isidore has but 100 men, h. could raise about 500 fighting men from other tribes, and with this number he could commit fearful outrages. The depredations of the Indians south of the boundary, as stated in our telegrams yesterday, would seem to verify the opinion expressed above, that the Kootenay Indians are very restive and are eager for an outbreak. It is hoped, however, thnt the presence of the mounted police will still keep thein from becoming hostile until the present ill-feeling has subsided.— Colonist. . . .—■ Monthly Freight Returns. The returns of freight handled by the Canadian Pacific Railway, in this city, for tho month of October havo been madeup, and they contain many interesting features which are well worth special notice. It will bo noticed that the amount of freight handlod iB something enormous, especially when tho limited facilitios at the station nre taken into consideration. The principal items of traffic during Iho mouth were lumber and fish, of the former 1,203,810 lbs. wero handled, nnd of the latter 200,340 lhs. Root crops show a total of 132,810, and seal skins 90,120 lbs. Articles not specified 050,000 lbs., and other articles specified amount to about 225,000 lbs. These items all refer to goods forwarded, the grand total of which for tho month amounted to 2,430,310 lbs., un which the charges were 815,243.44. In goods received the principal items were flour, sugar and cattle, tho latter being from the interior of our own province. The total amount of freight received was 2,940,400 lbs., nn which the charges were $23,581.88. Amount of freight handled during tho month 6,388,710 lbs.; total charges on samo 838,834.32. These figures speak for themselves as thoy show how rapidly the freight traffic over the C.P.R. is increasing, and compared with six months ago the difference iB astonishing. . Mailers inning Worse. Chicken stealing has become bo very prevalent throughout the city that there is scarcely a roost which has not suffered to a greater or less extent. The thieves have managed to escape detection for so long that they are becoming bolder and do not hesitate ttr entirely strip a hen roost. One of the worst cases that has come to notice, so far, is that of Mr. J. M. McLeod, who lives up the hill from the R. 0. pinning mills. Mr..McLeod had probably the finest and most valuable flock of Leghorns and Houduns in the city, many of which had cost him as high 83 each, On the 28th of September the flock numbered about 150 lions and chickens besides a large number of valuable ducks. Since that time about 70 bens and many of tho ducks have been stolen, and up till to-day not one cf the thieves bad been brought to account for these dopreda tions. On Saturday and' Sunday nights 31 hens were stolen nnd a number of ducks, luckily ono of this number was mado remarkable by the loss of an eye, and tbiibonbeingdiscovered and recognized by Mr. McLeod in a Chinaman's yard, led to the arrest of the six celestials. This chicken stealing business must be put an end to by aome means, and if the present polico force is not large enough to do tho work,a fow specials, for this particular duty, should be employed temporarily, for, until a striking example is made of a few Chinamen, the stealing will never cease. A double-barrelled shotgun loaded with rook salt is a splendid antidote, and we advise owners of ohicken roosts to uso tho salt freely on any Chinamen found too near the henhouse aftor proper hours.

I have always found it exceedingly helpful; I use it in all cases of rheumatism, aB well as fractures and dislocations. I made use of it myself te calm the pains of a broken leg with dislocation of the foot, and in two days I waB entirely relieved of the pain." Poliee Court. Before T. O. Atkinson, P. M. Jack Wilson and Antonio Rodriguez, charged with receiving stolen money aud with being frequenters of a house; of ill-fame. On the first charge they were committed for trial and on Ihe latter charge sentence was deferred until after the assizes were over. Six Chinamen, all Ah's by name, were charged with receiving one fowl knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. McLeod identified the fowl as his property and swore to tbo information. At the request of the Chief of Police the case was adjourned until 3 o'clock in tho afternoon to allow sufficient time to work up the evidence. Bail was applied for but not granted. In the Snpreme Oourt. Before Hon. Mr. Justice McCreight, " Nov. 8,1887. Mr. McColl, with whom was Mr. Leamy, moved absolute a rule nisi for a writ of prohibition restraining Mr. Black, police magistrate of Vancouver, from furthor proceeding within action brought before him by Hnyden & Co, against J nines Walker, on tbe ground thnt the magistrate had no jurisdiction, as the defendant did not reside in Vancouver. Mr. Boultbee and; Mr. Atkinnon showed cause, His Lordship, following the recent case of Woods vs. Sully, made the rule absolute for the writ te issue, with costs to bo paid by Hnyden & Co. In two other cases of Cosgrove vs. Walker and Thicke vs. Walker, similar rules were mado absolute, with costs, on tho same ground, the same counsel appearing. ^_^ To lesseu mortality and stop the inroads of disease, use Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure.
