Current Events and Opinions. British Oolumbia is to tho fore challenging competition na a field for the energotic nnd wealthy who are seeking new homes; nml hundreds aro now on thu way to the Pacific provinco with ttie intention of "growing up wjth the country." Its gold fields, forests aotl .fisheries nre the source from which wealth is obtained. Of tlie latter tho San Francisco Chronicle very recently said that "the timo is near nt hnnd -when British Columbia waters will be deemed the richest bonanza ou tlie Pacific Coast" Britisli Oohiui' Asia ie decidedly a region of somo promise; und uow that it hns beon -given ■cGUiuumiciition with eastern markets (through the medium of the .Canadinn Pacific, it is certain to grow very fast in ttio next few years, and possibly the terminus of the great highway, Vancouver, will become a second San Francisco.— Chicago A merican-Canadian. British Columbian. VOLUME 30 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1880. NUMBER 9 In reference to the important part likely to be played in the near future in tho railroad affairs of tho country by the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Sau Francisco Chronicle calls attention to the fact that the distance, via the Canadian Pacifio, from the Pacific coast to Montreal, is about the same as the distance by the Central and Union Pacific and their connections, from the coast to Pittsburgh, the figures being as follows: siii.es, From S.F. to Plltslnirf-li. via (lgilQU.,,.2.888 From Port Moody to Montreal by ClP.t2,8ti5 At Montreal, continued tlie Chronicle, passengers and freight by tlie Cunadinu Pacific strike ocean steamers winch carry tlicm by a voyage -of 3,043 miles to Liverpool, whereas passengers and freight by tlie Pact fie roads running through Ogden, when they reach Pittsburgh, still 444 miles from ocean steamers at New York, and then they have a voyage of 4,430 miles before they reach Liverpool. If, says the Chronicle, Canadian steamers -Ht Montreal were as swift ns those Elying betweon Now York and liverpool, pnssengers by tlie Canadian route would beat those by the American route not less than three days. If ever the Canadian Pacific people put on a line of stea ers from Port Moody to China and Japan, the Chronicle thinks American transportation lines will have to look to their laurels. — Urad- street. Another issue has just been added to the now famous Sproule murder cose, the government having received today intelligence that the attorney-general of British Coiumbin has given notice of nu appeal to the imperial privy council. It will be remembered that Sproule, who is an American citizen, wns arrested in the Pacific province on n charge of murder. A verdict of guilty wns brought in, and sentence of death wns pronounced, but prisoner's counsel made an application bofore the supremo court for tho relense of Sproule on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Henry, who was sitting in Chambers nt the time, without going into the merits of the ense, decided that the prisoner hnd not heen legally tried, Sproule having been removed nnd sentenced in a distriot otherwise than that where the alleged offence was committed. The judge further ordered tlmt Sproule be brought to Ottawa by the sheriff, for the purpose of being discharged from custody. Tlie sheriff has not shown any alacrity to obey the summons, and the decision of the attorney-general of British Columbia to appeal to the highest court in tlie empire will make mut ters rather complicated. Many points of great interest to the legal profession, involving the jurisdiction of the supreme court and tho constitutionality of an appeal to Kngland, will be decided by the final judgment in this-'case. Sproule, who is at present respited until August 19th, will likely liavo to enjoy a further lease of life as the appeal cannot bo heard before the privy council until several months elapse,—Ottawa News. The appeal of Air. Gladstone to England in favor of home rule has failed totally. His defeat is signal. Yet some of the results of the agitation are of the utmost, significance. It has made Irish houn; rule the great issue of English politics, and has transformed tho Liberal party into n home rule party. It has also forced the Tory party, whieh is an organization without principles or purposo except what Beaconsfield called British interests, to hang out reform colors. By thus facilitating the solution of the oldest and most perplexing of publia questions, it has been of tho greatest value to the country. Another striking ro- ■ult of the agitation, as shown by the figures of the election, is llm uncertainty of a large part of the Liberal pnrty. In a poll of some thing less thnn three millioni of votes the anti-Gladstone majority may bo about one hundred thousand, while the Tores in the houso will not havo a working majority. This result shows that if the full Liberal vote had come out, Mr. Gladstone probably would have been sustained. Another result of the agitation, and one also of the highest value, was the distinct and honorable declaration of Mr. Parnell that home rulo does not in can separation. Tho two effective anti- Gladstone weapons were the assertion that the land bill proposed to tax Englishmen enormously to pay Irish landlords for land from which no returns could be assured, and thnt an Irish legislature means Irish independence and Irish alliance with a foreign and perhaps hostile power. Thus the land bill, which was meant to propitiate capital, was used to alienate labor, and Irish home rule figured ns British decadence. This last cry, which was a stirring and searching appeal to British pride, was fairly silenced by Mr. Parnell's solemn avowal that his party did not ask nor desire separation, and his manly declaration that if Ireland should attempt separation, England could overwhelm the island and crush the endeavor. It was no answer to this to say that Parnell lied, or that even if he could be supposed to tell the truth the ignorant Irish purpose of separation would sweep liim awny. It was a strong anti Gladstone contention, also, thnt homo rulo was not a unanaimous demand of Ireland, and that a third of the Irish people would oppose it to the death. So Lecky aays of the revolutionary movement for in dependence- in tliis country, that it was not a movement of tho whole people, But the event showed that practically the Revolution was the act of the people, despite colonial Tory hostility. The most touching episodes of the angry agitation were the breach between Gladstone and Bright, and tho respectful tone toward the Liberal leader of Lord Hartington, who led the Liberal opposition. . Ho was never betrayed into any word of reproach or vituperation that he could ever regret, nnd the evident sincerity of his sorrow in differing from a man whom he plainly loved and revered gave great weight and dignity to all his speeches.—Harper's Weekly. A Small swindle. A smalt swindle has recently come to light in Wall-street of tho kind that serve to create a laugh and provide j unscrupulous but clever gentlemen with cash. It shows how the delusive dollar may be coaxed from its hiding place by means of two telephones, a lintidrod foot of wire, and a ticker. W. D. Miles and Townsend Percy Btartled the speculative world last winter by announcing that they had solved the problem of long-distance telephon iny, and thnt their frienda had better get in nu tbe ground floor quick. Milea wiih a rod-headed Irishman of plausible address, who had been employed by II. A. Armour, of Chicago, and hnd come haro to operate on the Produco Exchange, where his supposed connection with, Armour gave liim prominence nnd acquaintance. From his auburn locks he got to bo known as "No. 2 Red," after a variety of Krain. Ho mado frienda rapidly and soon became a member of the Stock Exchange and opened a broker's ollice in Broad-street. Townsend Peroy was a uood-Iiit-king ymmg fellow nbout town, who had ono foot on the dramatic stage and the other in a bottle of ink, for ho wns perpetually writing little things which the papers printed, He HAD ALSO INVKNTKIi AN KYKGLA8S, Thereforo when it wns announced with a great flourish that those two individuals owned a patent, by which men could telephone to Chicago or San Francisco, or evon to Europe, aa easily as ncrosB the street, thero waa great curiosity to seo it work. Mon looking for n good investment were quietly taken up to tho Broad-street ollice, and wore surprised how easily thoy could hoar quotations of grain, pork, etc., sent frqm Chicago, nnd now distinctly their own words were undoi-stood. They compared tho advices roooivod with the ticker aud found thein correct in every instance. It waa a big thing, A company waB formed with a capital of 8S.00.000, of which ten por cout. should be subscribed for advertising, constructing expenses, otc.

The daily will he sent to any post- office in Canada or tlie United States for §10 o year. As tho daily mail service will shortly extend over a considerable portion of this district, we expect to have a number of daily readers outsido of tlio city. Thoso who do not euro to take a daily will ho supplied with the weekly edition, whicli is to he puhlished every Saturday morning in time for the mails. Tho weekly edi- dition will contain considerably more reading matter than was contained in two issues of the semi-weekly, nnd it will be sent hy mail for $2 a year. Our country subscribers will, therefore, receive a better paper for ono dollar less. Tliose whose subscriptions have heen prepaid on the semi-weekly will bo credited for an extra period on the weekly. For example, a person who has paid 12 months in advance for the semi weekly will be entitled to receive the weekly for IS months. The publishers hope to he able to present a much better newspaper for less money, and if it is received with as much favor as the semi- weekly edition has met with they will be very greatly pleased. Tho first issue of the weekly will he ready next Saturday morning. The C. P. R. Tea Trade. The arrival of the first tea ship at Port Moody is an event worthy of more than a mere passing notice. Hitherto the tea for Canada and the United States has been going by water round tho cape or over American lines of railway. Now the Canadian Pacific Railway enters into competition with other carriers for this trade, and with a very good prospect of success. The tea ship which arrived last Tuesday after* --noon1 is the first, but it is not intended that she shall he by any means the last. The ship Stafford was to leave Yokohama on thc 10th i-flst^. for Port Moody, and the ship Cyprus is also under contract for a cargo. The Flint brings 17,-140 half chests, equal to about 75 cur loads. The other vessels are larger, and will bring heavier loads. These teas are not all for Canadian and American dealers. A large quantity of them will be sent across the Atlantic to Great Britain. Between Yokohama and Liverpool via the 0. P. R. is about 1,000 miles less than by any of the United States lines. It will be seen, therefore, what large odds are with the .0. P. R. in the tea trade; and if this trade becomes large and permanent it will be of great benefit to British Coiumbin Not only will tho transfer of large quantities of tea give employment to a considerable force of meu, but the increase given to our shipping business will be of the greatest importance. Vessels coming here from China and Japan will not go away empty. They will take from us cargoes of coal and lumber and fish, and some of them will tako tho products of our manufactories. There will be an interchange of commodities, and the markets of the whole world will be made easy of access to Canadian producers. One can scarcely estimate the advantages that may follow the arrival of the first tea ship at Port Moody. Short and Swift. The great problem of tho commercial world is to discover short routes and secure swift modes of intercommunication. These desiderata liave occupied the minds of men for many years on both sides of the Atlantic, and various projects have been brought forward with the object of bringing Europe and Americii near er each other in point of time. Homo ono has lately astonished commercial circles by proposing a stoimship service across the Atlan- tio that would accomplish 10 miles an Hour, thus making travel by water equally swift with tho average railway train. Whether this oan ever be accomplished we dare not venture to predict, but one enn scarcely limit the possibilities of science in the nineteenth century. An Interesting article appears in a lateinumber of the Scottish-A rmrkan giving ft history of the various effort* made to shorten and hasten the voyage across the Atlantic. The latest proposal in that direction is to make the American terminus of the ocean line on Long Islnnd, where a new harbor is to bo established, and to change the Biitish terminus from Liverpool to Milfnrd Haven. This would shorten the ocean voyage between London and New York hy 288 miles. Uut our own Sandford Fleming long ago pointed out a much better plan for "bridging" the Atlantic. He proposed to make Shippegan, in northern New Jlnmswick, the American terminus of the ocean route, and to connect that port by railway with New York. Shippegan is 743 miles nearer Liverpool than New York, and from New York to Shippegan by rail is about 8?Q miles. H would lie quite possible for one of the present ocean steamers to make tho trip from Liverpool to Shippegan in IIfitttltnisinust be received by0p.m. oii Wednesday,-Ith August. d-JIy3Itd T.

Pittendrigh, J. P., to answer to the charge of maliciously assaulting his wife, Annie, on Wednesday eveiiiinr. The complainant, on being sworn,, stated that prisoner had called her a prostitute, and liad chnsed her with a' knife into n neighbor's dwelling. In cross-examination by Mr. Leamy she admitted theru wns liquor in the house at the time of the trouble, but she had not taken any. Mr, and Mrs. Bur- nyett, in whose house complainant had taken refuge, testified to the effect that she came to their door about 9:30 in the evening, and shouted to let her in aa her husband waa going to kill her. Prisoner followed and attempted to force his way into a room into which his wife had gone, but, on Mr. Bur- nyett opening the door and telling him to go, he walked out on the verandah and commenced shouting for the police. A daugiiter of thu unhappy couple, with considerable reluctance, testified that her father returned from Vancouver on Wednesday and commenced scoldin-/ complainant; thut they both went out into the wood shed and wheu they returned his fuce wns cut in the manner exhibited in court. He aaid he wanted to get her mother arrested. The prisoner himself, on oath, stated that ou the evening in question he had called his wife names in consequence of Borne previous trouble aho had given him which made liim jealous. She went out doors and, not returning, hu went after hor. On going intu the wood-shed he saw something Hush through the air, and was Btruck heavily in thu fuce with something that cut and stunned him. It waa dark at thu time, but he believed his wife had struck the blow. When he recovered his senses he was in the house, and told his daughter he was going to have hor mother arrested. Prisoner also swore that there waa liquor in the house nnd that he had given both complainant and the witnesses some in a cup. Mrs. Buruyett also admitted that Bhe had taken a spoonful to please Mrs. Coughlan. The evidence tn the case heing concluded, his honor adjourned the court for one hour. Both parlies finally expressed their intentions to separate aud live iu peace and were condemned to share the cost of the case equally. The Scrap Basket. .

Washington, D. C, July 20.— Members of congress, especially tliose from the east and from the states along tbe Canadian frontier, discussed with a great deal of interest the now extradition treaty; Tlie general opinion was that the treaty was good enough as far as it goes, but that it does not extend far enough by any means. The crimes which, after the ratification of this new convention, will be extraditable are manslaughter, burglurly,*-om- bezalement or grand Iufeeny, and malicious injuries to property, whereby tho life of nny person 1 liall be endangered. This latter course is regarded on all Bides as a direct, blow to the liberty of dynamiters, who had heretofore enjoyed immunity by crossing the border line. There was some expression of opinion today to the effect that the Irish societies of the country would bring their f-.rces to bear upon the senate in order to secure a modification or the expunging of this clause, but it seems to be the firm opinion of those members of the house who havo talked with thu senators on this subject at all to-day that tlie whole treaty will be ratified just ns it stands, with perhaps AN AMENDMENT TO ARTIOXB TOt'K. This article reads: "No fugitive criminal shall bu surrendered under the provisions of said treaty or of this convention if the crime in respect to which the surrender is demanded be nnu of political character, or if he prove to competent authority that the Baid requi-iition for his surrender haa, in fact, been made with a view to try and punish him for a crimo of a political character.'' Those member*) of congress who have had any knowledge of diplomatic affairs are inclined to look with disfavor upon ihis clause, as they claim that it is in direct opposition to tho spirit of extradition procedure, which hits heretofore been the guide of the law of nations. Thoy regard it aa possible under this clause that the prisoner may be required to prove more than it would bu possible for auy one to provo, namely, tho intent of the government demanding the surrender. It is urged ngainst this clause of the new treaty that the burden of proof rests altogether upon the offender, instead of upon tho state against which thc offenco was made. Said onu member of tho houso to-day, who has had wide experience, not only as a representative of tho United States nt n fore inn court, but also as 11 diplomatic oflicer in the state department; "This article four needs very euieful attention, and it should not be passed has'ily, but should bo thoroughly inquired into bofore it is acted upon. 1 mn inclined to think thnt it is in VIOLATION OF ALI. OtHt IDRAM of international law upon Ihu subject of thu surrender of political prisoners. While I do not think it would make ally difference in the caao between the United States and Great Britain, slill the principle involved mit-lit bo very serious in lhe case of Russia. In case a Kusidan political offender should escape to this country, and his extradition for Home crime ho demanded, he would find it difficult to prove that tho requisition for tunoiidor has beun made with n view to punish him fora crime of n political character, Ou tiio whole, however," continued thia gentleman, "I think the treaty ia a very fair document, aud thnt it should bo ratified without delay, although I trust thu time will come when othor crimes which are not now included in the convention or the treaty of 1842 ahall bo mado extra- ditable." A correspondent with the British Afghan Commission had a conversation recently with a Moslem priest. He maintained that our frontier commission had all been foretold by the Prophet; that Russia was Gog and Magog pressing down from the north; and that we English were the Bene Israel, and of the same ancient atock as the Afghans themselves The Mahdi, he said, would soon appear in Ihe region of Khurasan nnd convert ub all to the true faith, and that Jesus would come, and, after a few years' reign on the earth, die, and be buried in Medinah. Says the Pall Mall Gazette: It would seem ns if there was no satisfying the changeful mind of woman. Everybody knows the disastrous effect produced on the simple village maiden when the versatile Lord of Burleigh dropped the role of painter and showed himself in hia true colors. Taking warning by this young lady's aad fate, Mr. Conway, a thoughtful butler, determined to reverse the order of things in the Lord of Burleigh's cruel proceedings, So he went to America, called himself tho Hon. Seymour Conway, and wooed aud won a high-born maiden for his wife. He then brought his wife to hia buttery in England, wliere hu, of course, dropped the Hon. Seymour part of himaelf and prepared to settle down to domestic life. But instead of bei-jg delighted nt this little surprise, tne lady ts terribly annoyed. It is true she has not died, but she has done the next best thing, and instituted divorce proceedings. Courting in fancy dress seems not to be a success whichever way it is tried.

White Bronze being non- corrosive and unchaugeable, it is stated to be equal to gold, silver or platinum, and superior to copper or antique bronze, which throws off a verdigris. The monuments are cost from refined zinc, and are given tlieir sparkling appearance by the aand blast, sand being blown against the work under a high pressure of steam, which cuts the surface, but does not adhere to it., A thin film of oxide which forma on this bronze is indistructible by the elements; it cannot be dissolved by water, aud air cannot penetrate it, af* though the film is so thin as tn be immeasurable. Ko corrosion, it is affirmed, can take place.— Boston Journal of Commerce. Chas. J. Robson, New Westminster, is agent for the White Bronze Monuments in British Columbia.

'■-*' Offlor into which they seem to fall, one finds in tho approach un inmieiiRu block of .bituminous coul from the Wellington mine, Vancouver Island, representing tho wholo thickness of the seam. Another block is frnm tho Nanaimo mine. These two nre tho Oioai important mines of British Col* i Wfa From the former 220,000 tons •■^S obtained last year, worth 4 dote. per ton at the wharf; whilo from the Utter the output was 137,500 tons, and, considering the eparscnoss uf the population, thin is a fair development. There is also biumiuoua coal from Van* whan the supply is now largely met from Austral-milt. As one passes from the Pacific const eastward the deposits tend to a lifjnitic nature. From Baufli on the Hue of the Canadinn Pacitio Railway, in thc mountains, a scmi- . - anthtticite is obtained, as may bo Been I bjr tbe specimen shown. Tlie Band" mine, whieh is known to comprise two seams of ahout 4 feet in thickness, has ,.. tyut ^ recently beim discovered. In _ .ifiiflity the fuel compare.-) with some of g ',!&(■$beat anthracite of Pennsylvania, Wffi is about to bo mined in such a w*y °8 to ensure its extensive use. Further west on the line of tho great ■- coal-bearing rocks of the North-west cornea the Lothbridgc mine. This is now being actively worked by the . North-West Coal and Navigation Co. in connection with the operation of the railway from Duumore, on the main route of the Canadian Pacific Railway to Loth bn dye. The specimen shown from the Gait mine, as it is popularly called, is from a seam 5 feet 4 inches in thickness, situated so near -■ the aurface aa to obviate the necessity of any shaft, and make working a simple and comparatively inexpensive pro- cess, Tho extent of this conl region is enormous. At Lethbridge alone the , i quantity underlying one square mile is . estimated by Dr. Dawson .t five million tons. Aud it must be clearly * ' borne in mind that the geological survey has only as yet examined the southern regions of thc plains, which ._. form one vast conl bed tending from bituminous to lignite as une proceeds frum west to east. The coal shown by •Messrs. Pocock, Frcath, and I'ocock, ■< frotjr the Suuria Valloy, Southern Manitoba, ja thus a lignite with abuut -, 20 per cent, of water, as against about 10 per cent, in the Lethbridge coal. And yet the Suuria conl is of tho utmost value to settles, and also in view of manufactures, for thc fuel used by the Germans for like purposes is to a huge extent much inferior. From Ontario and Quebec no specimen! are forthcoming, because no conl is \\foond in these provinces. New Brunswick sends but one exhibit from - Grand Lake. This coal lies near tiio auf-faoe, and the seams are ao thin that, seeing the closo proximity of tht* vast coal areas of Nova Scotia, it is used only for locnl purposos. Tho extent of the coal fields in Nova Scotia may be gathered from the fact that last year the total output was 1,352,200 wtofll7 ahd the local government have done well in seeing the prorinco so well represented ns it is. Iu all 13 mines contribute—tho Sydney, Bridgeport-, Reserve, Glace Bay, Gowrie, Old Bridgeport, Springhill, and Albion, - and tho mines of the Low Point Barn- / soil and Ltngan Mining Company, the Yale Coal Company, Arcadia Coal Company, and tho Intercolonial Coal Mining Company. The coal is of the true bituminous class and of immense extend, at present worked to supply the demand ot the maritime provinces jmkI_ as far weat as Ottawa, beyond whkb it ia not at present profitable to lend It. ■ Th* exhibits of iron comprise every kind of ore from all parts of the Dominion, Nova Scotia prominently, ns well at New Brunswick, and parts of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. From, the largest iron works in the Dominion, Londonderry Iron Mines, of Colchester, Nova Scotia, a good exhibit of ores and products is made. In quality, Canadian, and especially Nova oootian, iron must be considered a tfreat deal better than the general run of English iron. It is, in fact, very - pure and rich: the magnetites comparo ■omewhat with those from which the celebrated Sweeish iron is made. And an idea may be gained of the immenso market available in the. Dominion .}■) itself for this abundant metal from the fact that in 1884 the iron and steel imported into thia country in various forma reached a valuo of 14,700,727 dais,, and the total of imported iron and steel during tho seventeen years itnee Confederation amounts to a value of no less than 230,741,434 dols., a demand whioh the resources of Canada are well able, with proper development, to meet. Sulphites of copper come from Quebec, British Columbia, , r and Ontario, the latter including two exhibits of native copper .from the Lake Superior district, which should, * now that it is opened up by the Canadian Pacific Railway, attract capitalists to work what is declared tube one of the most extensive copper deposits in the World. Of antimony some fine apeoimons are shown from R-iwduu, in Neva Scotia, aa well as from Prince .William, New Brunswick, from which much is hoped.— Canadian Ua:.e(lt,, L The Wars of Great urllain. It ii interesting to note the number df wan the British have been engaged ■■■ivMring (he past century, ft is only twneh a review that wc can reach a " if lense of. the unparalleled war* which haa carried them to tyj * of victory.

A generation of men was born, grcyv up, and advanced woll toward-i middle lifo whrt- did not remember a time when their country was not at wax: Tippoo was not disposed of on tliis occasion until after his defeat at Semigapntnm in 17112. The samo your saw the beginning of tho long war with France, a war which lasted, with two short breathing spells, until after the battle of Waterloo. Into this terrible conflict every European nation waa eventually dragged, on one aide or tiie other. In 1798 tho British were at war with the Dutch, who had fallen undor thc Froncli influenco. In 170G they were at war with Spain, and in 1800 with Denmark aud Russia. The latter country mnde peace with Britain after tho death of Emperor Paul in 1801. The result of these wars with Great Britain was thb utter ruin of tho naval power of France, Spain, Holland and Deumarjt: tlio French lost 083 ships of war, of which 115 were line of battle ships; the Spaniards iost 213, tho Dutch 89, and the Danes 114. In thoso wars the British captured from their enemies or destroyed 207 line of battle ships, 351 frimites and 562 smaller ves- els of war. The peace of Amiens made with France iu March, 1802, caused a cessation of hostilities for fourteen mouths in Europe, but in the meantime the British Imd boon kept busy in India. War with Tippoo had broken out again iu 1791), but the groat son of Hyder Ali wns killed the same year, and the following year the Climatic was conquered; The >iir with tho Mahiattas commenced in 1802, and lasted, with one truce of considorablo length, until 1818, when thoy were finally subdued. The war with Ncpaul commenood in 181-1 and lasted a year, ond the Pindaree war was waged in 1817-18. The war with the United States of America commenced in June, 1812, and did not end until tho beginning of 1815. Altogether Groat Britain waa engaged in more than twenty different wars with ton different nations and peoples Irom 1790 to 1820. This without counting the bombardment and destruction of that nest of pirates, Algiers, in 1S10. The first war with Burmah commenced in 1823, and ended in 1820. In 1819 the Kaffirs were at wnr with the British, and again iu 1831. In 1832 there was war with tho Ha j ah of Coorg, ending with the annexation of his territory two years later. The first war with China commenced in 1838, aud did not end until 1843. There was war again with the Chinese in 1847. In the meantime the Afghan war had broken out iu 1838, and did not end until 1842. The Scinde war began in 1843, tho Gwiilipr war in 1845, and Sikh war in the same year. It ended in 1849 with the annexation of tho Punjab to India. Tho second war with Burmah commenced in 1851, and closed in 1853. At the same time a second war with the Kaffirs waa being carried on, which ended abuut the samo time. In 1854 Great Britain went to war with Russia and peace was nut brought about until 1850. That yenr she went to war with Persia and China, and while in the middle uf these contests was culled upon tu face thc Indian mutiny. Threo wars at once was rather more than enough. Tho war with Persia was concluded in 1857, that with China in 1858, and tho Indian mutiny quelled in 1859. Tho British wore again at war with China in 1800, but the contest closed the same year with the capture of Pekin. In 1800 there was wnr with the Maoris uf New Zealand, which did not end until 1800. In 1803 there waa a stjite of war with Japan. In 1868 thore wns war with Abyssinia, and Magdala was capturod. In 1874 the war with the King of Ashantoe ended in the destruction of his capital, Coomassie. It is hardly neceBsary to relate the more recent wars, which aro fresh in tho memory of every one. The wnr with the Kaflirs, with thc Zulus, and with the Dutch of tho Transvaal iu South Africa; the war with the Afghans, the war with Arabi in Egypt, the contest iu the Soudan, and finally the last successful war with Burmah, which has ended in the annexation of the whole of that country to tho British crown. Nothing haft been said of of contests with tho Hill tribes in India, which are frequent, or of petty quarrels whioh call for the services of British forces in ull parts of the world. A Stately Presence. I heard a good story of a Republican leader and a Democratic editor. It seems they both had accounts in a bank in Harrisburg, and they both drew upon them largely. One day the leader sent up from Philadelphia a draft of unusual size, which the long- suffering cashier positively refused to honor. The leader hastened Lu Harrisburg and explained that tho draft was for a debt of honor, and must be paid. The banker was obdurate, and tho leader in despair came back to town, sought uut his friend, tho editor, and explained matters. The editor heard the story, and at once said that the draft must bu cashed. "If it ia not," he said, "we will withdraw our accounts." "But," replied tho loador, "I.have no money tliere. Have you V "Not a cent," answered the editor; ''but we will withdraw them, anyway." Tho next duy tho two stalked into the Harrisburg bank. The editor began, "Mr. Bankur, 1 undurstand that you have refused to cash this draft f" "Yes, air," "Well, I am here tu say that unless you do so we will both closo our accounts with your bank at once." The cashier looked at the two gentlemen iu amazement for a moment, and then paid the draft. It is a good thing sometimes to have a stately pi csouco, -Philadelphia Call. As nearly as it can be figured out, the late strike on the Gould railroads in tho Southwest coat §4,500,000.
