Columbian. VOLUME 22 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY, NOYESIBER 29, 1882. NUMBER 43 Secret t»f "Ocmocrsiif Victory. Lecturing before the New York Free Trade Olub, on the 10th inst,, Hon. D. A. Wells said the result of Tuesday came from » feeling that the people were taxed $160,000,000 a year more than was necessary. A result of this feeling, lie said, will he a reduction of the taxation, and the question for free-traders to consider is how to bring about, while the circumstances aro favorable, au intelligent revenue reform. New England manufacturer!!, especially the prints- men, now favor revenue reform. As to the results of the reforms that directly affect the laboring man, the census of 1880 shows that the average wages in the well-protected silk, cotton, and woolen industries is about 85c, a day for each laborer. The iron and steel makers average •$1.25 a day, while tho unprotected agricultural laborers of the Wost average from $1.46 to $2 a day. Carpenters and furniture-milkers get much larger pay than the iron-workers. American laborers in . cotton mills get $245 for 300 days' work, British laborers in the same industry get $250. Tlie reason of the strikes of lust year was (hat it required $144 to buy last July the food and clothing that could be had for $108 in 1879. As the present tHviff system put a premium ou dishonesty, he bolieved tho civil sor vice reformers nnd the tariff reform, ers should join hands. Col. Bob Ingersoll, himself a shining light in the Republican party, boing inter- viewed at Detroit on thu same day, made somewhat similar admissions. He said that at least $17,000,000 should have been taken from the bunions borne hy the people. $2<V 000,000 should have beon taken from sugar and'tho entire tax from tobacco. Tho Republican party should have taken such steps that ill international taxation could with- n one year from now he ubolished. rhe people are tired of paying war axes in time of peace, and the llc- mblicans should not have postponed he tariff reform. The tariff com- nissiou was a mistake. People saw bat it was only an affidavit for coir imianco, a ruse for delay, nud that he Republican party did not intend oact. ! There can be no doubt that io reactionary tido now setting in i vigorously ngainst "protection" iu ie United States will soon toll on aiiad.i, and the sooner the better. ideed our protective policy was jnfessodly a retaliatory one as gainst so-called protection on the [.her side of tho boundary line; aud I the people of the United States iturn to their senses nn 1 freo trade, lero will be no reason why Canada ■ould not do tho same thing, and a itional and broad treaty of reei- rocity between the two countries ould then be in order and would motions speedily follow. These e a s u r e s accomplished, Canada ould become the cheapest and most nirablc) country to livo in on tho :e of tho earth, and the United ates would come next. As mat- rs have been going lately, both ire in a fair way of becoming the arest. British Columbia, more in any othor part of tho Dominion perhaps ye might say any other rt of the continent—has reason to ih earnestly for such a change. one side is the U. S. protecting II, shutting out our mineral and rine and forest productions, while the other is tho Dominion N. P. ttitig out those commodities ioh, owing to our peculiarly i- ,e and isolated position as a part "anada, wo must obtain from1 our rhbora. Between those two inill- les, so to speak, British Columbia eing ground down. But with n free, market in tho United States for our raw productions and with free entry for such commodities as we must have from abroad British Columbia would indeed experience relief and would undoubtedly bound forward in the race of empire, And why should not our neighbors equally desire itl They require our coal and fish and othor products, just as much as wo require certain of their manufactures, and thoy wonld have a reflex interest in the large developments sure to follow in the country sandwiched by their own territory. gcicnttfii* eUtisctlliin**.

It is pointed out that many wines, and especially thoso of Bordeaux, hold iu solution n larger proportion of iron than most of the so-called chalybeate waters. Recent analyses are slated to show that tlio water of tho "Holy Well" nt Mecca—so eagerly drank by pilgrims— is sewage about ten times ns strong as the nverago Londun sewage. A very durable artificial ivory hns recently been prepared by dissolving shellac in ammonia, mixing tho solution with oxide of nine, driving uiFthe ammonia by healing, powdering, and strongly compressing in moulds. It is well known that many fine bronzes soon turn quite black while others equally exposed do not. The Berlin Society of Architects finds that tho blackening, is probably due to tho presence of zinc in the bronzes su affected, * Aftor considerable di faculty, the Cavalioro d'Atiiico has succeeded in accomplishing the important botanical resUlt of nccHriiittizing a number of foreign plants in Sicily. Among them is the tea-plant, nnd it is hoped that Sicilian tea may ere long become a not unimportant article of commerce. Prof. Brims, of Tubingen, lias made some experiments on dogs., which he regards as proving that bone-marrow, completely separated from tho bono, mny be transplanted tinder tho skin of lhe same animal at a remote part of the body witli the rosult of givim* rise to the formation of bone and cartilage. Mr, Vaeher-has assured thd British Medical Association that milk from tuberculous cows must be regarded ns dangerous, but tile transmission of consumption by milk is almost incapable of proof because so many other possible sources of the disease exist iu nil enses where persons become nli'ect- cd. A wise course is to boil all milk to be used as food. A large subterranean grotto lifts been discovered in the side of a mountain at Dorgali, in the island of Sardinia. It has many beautiful stalactites, nnd there nre fifteen long lateral galleries, tho arch of one of thein resting on a range of high pillars having a whiteness liko that of marble. A marvellous effect in colors is produced when the grotto is lit up with torches. Mi*. Gill, the astronomer at the Cape Town Observatory, reports au observation there made which is quite without .precedent iu the history of comets, Ou September 17th the comet was followed by two observers with sopiii'nto instruments until it reached the very edgo of the suit's disk, where it suddenly disappeared. This, observation is an extraordinary illustration of the iutensu brilliancy of the comet at perihelion. Messrs. Frenon, Dumont aud Franco u have produced a novel substance in ths form of solidified petroleum. The solidification is effected by mixing petroleum after its first distillation with twenty-five per cent, of the purified juice of plants belonging to the family of Fuphorbiaceae, the mixture being subsequently distilled again and refined iu tho ordinary manner. The solidified petroleum burns like tallow, and may bo used for lighting or as a lubricant. It has recently been discovered that tho faded ink on old parchments may he restored by moistening the lines of writing with a solution of sulphide of ammonia. The writing will turn quite dark, and if on parchment will retain the color, records treated in this way in the Germanic Museum of Nuremberg boing still in the samo condition as immediately after the application ten years ago. On paper, however, tho restored writing gradually fades again, but may bo revived at pleasure by fresh applications of the sulphide. On the 16th of Octobor tfas commenced tbo fourth century of the "Now Style" of tinte-registor.rig. The trno year does riot contain an exaci number of days, so the fractions have been allowed to accumulate nnd havo boon added ns whole days at such times as have boen considered sufficiently accurate for practical purposes. As the plan introduced by Julius Oae- sarof adding ono day to every fourth year vtas fon nd to mako the average civil year a fow minutes too long. Pope Gregory XIII. in 1582 orderod that tho year be corrected by dropping ton days—giving to tho next day after Oct. 4th the date of Oct. 15th—nnd that tho calendar be made more nearly accurate by having three fewer leap years iu each four centuries, making evory cortturial year not divisible by 400 a year of only 305 clays. This improved system forms tho Gregorian calendar, which has taken tho place of the "Old Stylo" in nll countries save Russia, where tho latter method is still retained. FIRE INSURANCE.

Frnlts of the Vlee-Uegal Visit. . When it became known that the Pacific Province wns really to be honored with a visit from tho Governor-General and the Princess Louise, the Columbian, whilo expressing joy over so auspicious an event, regarded from a sciitiineiit.il standpoint, adverted to the more practical advantages sure to result from such a visit. Already the fruits aro beginning to appeal-. WJiile in tho interior His Excellency was not idle. Not only did he seek for information at the hands of- prominent, reliable settlers of extended experience respecting the character aifl capabilities of the country and its adaptation for .various industries but he appears' to have taken good care that the valuable information so obtained was placed In those channels where it would do Diott good. From "a mass of notes" prepared and sent by direction of His Excellency, the Toronto Globe publishes an interesting summary of statistical and othor information obtained from Mr. M. I.umby, Okanagon; Mr. John Clapper'on, Nicola Valley; Mr, James Eoper, Kamloops; Mi*. Alox. Pringle, South Thompson; Mr. T. Harper, Bonaparte Mills; Mr. Thos. Wood, Mission Valley; Mr. Honry Cornwall, ABlicroft; and Mr. Robert Lamby, Shuswap Lake. The general average outcome of the information testifies to the magnificence of tho climate, the productiveness of the soil, and the suitableness of the country for raising cattle and sheep. The conclusion arrived at is that any Bober, industrio. settler with from J50O to 81,000 ns a. starter, can go into farming .ind stock-raising in a smallish way, making u living from the vory beginning and attaining a comfortable competency in the course of a few years. The Globe also published the able and eminently practical address delivered by His Excellency at tho Victoria banquet, making the following editorial observations thereon:— It would be difficult to over-estimate the Value to a young und struggling Province of suoh a speech as that delivered by His Excellency at Victorin, and printed elsewhere in this issue. The testimony boruo by the Governor to the geniality of the climate nnd tho Mastiiess of the natural wealth of our Pacific empire is such as will carry conviction to enquiring minds. Everyone reading this speech, whether in Eastern Canada or outside of tho Dominion, will seo that the commendations given aro based upon personal experience, and that thoy como from a person who is not open to tho imputation of interested motives. Lord Lorno is to bo especially congratulated upon .the manner in which he laid down to the British Columbians the reasons thoy have to bo grateful to the Dominion, for, as he says, no othor nation of equal importance has ever done as much for one of its members. His treatment of tho difficult Chineso question must be commended. It is quito true that, wliatover may be tho interests of the Dominion, it is tho paramount interest of British Coiumbin to get a through line completod at the earliest possible moment, wliatover may be the agencies it is necessary to employ. And speaking of tho labor question, the remarks of His Excellency concerning the industry and 'notability of the British Columbian Indians throw light that is quito new to most of us upon tho prospects of the Province. If these Indiana are thus intelligent and thus anxious to learn how to labor profitably, half of tho difficulties ordinarily besetting the agricultural pioneer will not prevail in British Columbia, Many other observations concerning tlio agricultural and mining resources ef the country will, no doubt, prove to be of very great value to the colonists. the visit may be expected to bear happy fruit, Tho visit to this Province of Her Eoyal Highness tlio Princess Louiso is no common incident. Tlie cii-cumstunco of the daughter of our beloved Queen coming all the way ucross tho continent to visit this the most remote of all tho Canadian Provinces and lingering several months in it, is not to be thought lightly of or to pass away soon from the minds of the people. But the Prince-SB Louiso is something more than a daughter of the Queen. She is herself n Queen—the Queen of Hearts, going about with nil her mother's Ihonghtful, sympathetic, winning ways. True, circumstances have not boen such as to enable her to go about and see ns much of tho country and people as ono could have wished; but still, whero she has not beon ublo to go, her kind words and uiniublo nnd queenly doings hnve penetrated, and today sho reigns in the hcnrtR of tho peoplo—almost a rival to her royal mother. One important effect of nil this will be to draw closer to tlio Tln-ono n Province geographically dangerously remote and to increase our oneness with the rest of tbo Dominion. Tho population of British Coiumbin is drawn from muny nations, and it would almost seem ns if the visit of the Governor-General nnd especially the Queen's daughter woro necessary to complete the nutonomy of the British American Empire.

They will constitute at once nn agreeable and most effective medium for making this terra incognita kuown in the Old World; and whon our incomparable climate, unrivalled scenery and boundless resources come to be understood through such modiums ob these, Columbia shall no longer have occasion to lament her forlorn condition. Not that these will obviate the necessity for using tho ordinary means for securing a proper influx of population and capital, but they will act as most effective auxiliaries. Thoro is another sense in which A short time ngo, ndverting to the political position of the member for this city, the Victoria Standard asserted that inasmuch ns Mr. Ann- strong wns elected ns un independent candidate, ho was free to join the Beaven administration without laying himself open to the charge of inconsistency. Now this assertion is in direct conflict with historical facts. What was this man's position in the old House during its last session! Thnt of tho most pronounced opposition to tho Walkem-Beaven administration,—notably in respect to their dock policy. Whut wns his position in regard to the Boaveii administration nt the general election in July! Still thnt of pronounced opposition. He authorized the gentlemen who carried around a requisition for signatures to say so, nnd lio wns pledged to work hnnd in hnnd with tho two members for the District ou the opposition line—vide Mr. Orr's statement at tho public meeting in this city, August 31st, What was his position immediately nfter the general election! Ditto. Did he not rush off eagerly and write thnt celebrated letter to tho lender of the Opposition, congratulating him upon "OUR. victory," and saying, "Yale will give US two, und I think Cassiar will do tho sume. Give Comox to tho OTHER SIDE, leaving 16 to 9 for the Government side. WE mny sny the matter is now safe in OUR hands." Again, on tho 11th August, he signed n round robin declaring his want of confidence in the Benven Government,—snid document being intended to constitute ground upon wliich tho Lieutenant- Governor could arrive at u sufficiently definite conclusion respecting tlie relative strength of parties in the new House to justify him in exercising tho latent prerogative. Theso things being so—and they arc incontrovertible facts which hnve passed into history—how can it possibly be nssorted with tho slightest color of truth thnt tho man wus elected as nn Independent or wns in n position to go over to Boavoii without dishonor! And yet on the Uth of August he flopped over to Benven. Nay, it was ussorted by Mr. Orr nt llio public meeting referred to thnt "Ue had every reajon to believe lhat at the very time he signed the round, robin Mr. Armstrong .wtis negotiating with Heaven for a porifulio"!

Since Lorno and Louls-y* came amongst us Briiij.li Columbia is referred to as "Our Pacific Empire'' in the Eastern papers in which it was wont to be designated "A sen of mountains."

Gladstone's appearance in a box elicited very enthusiastic applause— wliich appears to be more than can be said of tlio play—generally pronounced a failure. * , Rain and Ruin.—Tho news from England up to the middle of the mouth is far from cheering. Ono dispatch says:—"A great part of England is now flooded by heavy rains, which havo been fulling of lato almost without intermission, so that iu scarcely any district has autumn wheat been sown. The tradio of some parts of such towns as Canterbury and Reading is carried on in bouts, and the country upon each side of tho railway looks like a lake. Sheep rot has made its appearance iu many places. A Chance fob Bargains.—Again would wo direct attention to tho auction sale to be held at Brownvilo this morning. There is a largo lot of bod- ding, including a line lino of blankets, and there uro also many valuable things required by now settlers fur household and farming purposes. In fact the articles aro for the most part singularly seasonable,, and there will doubtless bo a rare chance for bargains- as tho lot is large and tho sale without reserve. Proper accommodation will be made for ferrying those crossing over from this sido. The Dby SeEuks.—A very interesting report of Dr. Boll's geological surveying-expedition in tho northern part of tho "Great Lone Land" has been published. It would appear tlmt there lies north of the Saskatchewan au itn- menso region highly adapted for sustaining population. From careful observation Dr. Bell concludes lhat the country is subject to alternate series of wet and dry seasons, each circle lusting eleven or twelve yoars; and according to tho theory a dry aeries will follow this'year. Dr. Boll's report cannot fail to attract very great interest. PKflttONAii.—Win. Holt, Esq., Banker of Barrio, Ontario, father of Mr. Claude Holt, of the Oncjniilhih Cannery, was found drowned in a bay of Lake Sinicoe, in which ho was in "the habit of bathing every morning.

He wjiii very highly esteeniod, and tho and accident cast a gloom over thu community where he had resided upwards of twenty years. Tho circumstance of Claude having paid a visit, to his father a few months ago will now bo a source of some convolution to him. Tlie "Jersey Illy."

I'ho New York Tribune, while passing the highest encomiums upon her acting, says: "Of Mrs, Langtry's personal beauty tho report has not been exaggerated.

Tiik iN.ij'EeTloN.— Deputy Adjutant General Dupont inspected tho New Westminster militia companies on Saturday evening Inst. Both Rifles and Artillery mustered well and went through tho usual exerci.ics admirably, eliciting from tho D. A. G, complimentary remarks as to their soldierly appearanco and elli-jioney in drill. The Baud was also highly complimented. Quite n large number of spectators, including several ladies, wove present, and the affair passed oil most successfully. ■**■ —— Rowm on SoMEiionv.—Referring to the caso of Powers and Forest, which was beforo tho Court some time ago, but did not reach n conclusion, Mr. Justice Crease last Monday said it was ono of tho fnost disgusting cases ho had ever heard of, aud he had beon in tho ori in ilia i courts of this province for tho lost 25 years. Ho criticised with tho greatest possible severity the conduct of certain saloon-keepers in this Provinco who give men liquor until thoy make beasts of themselves. Liquor, ho said, wns a very good thing jn its place, but when taken to excess it was tho cause of nearly evory kind of crime and disorder. Hard on tiik Box. -Tho Sheriff keeps a tin box on tlio Court Houso table from whicli he takes the ballots for jurymen. The tin box vory much resembles Jnttf of si coal oil c"an, painted a bright pea-green color on the outside. Thnt box caught the eye of Mr. Justice Grease.on Monday j and lie delivered himsolf thus: "iir.' Sherifi', can't you got a move fospeetiiblo ballot box than Mint/ It is contrary to the eternal fitness of things that'such a box should have served tliis Court for tho last twenty-live years. Be good enough to have a proper box prepared, and if no one else will pay for it, hnve it charged to mo." i/bmiiig liu It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that a number of families have recently-, goiie in and taken up land in.what is known as tlie Matsqui District, on tho Lower Eraser. Somo eight families havo already entered aud u number more will immediately follow. The land is of tho very best quality, and nothing but population and roads are noeded to make it one of the most important settlements in the Province. One piece of road three or four-miles in length is now urgently required in order to connect the settlement with the river nn one sido and the trunk road on tho other. "coinl-u.g Brents',' &c*> On Wednesday tho local organ published u letter written by a member of its own staff advising it to prepnro to Hop ovor to the Government which must take tlio place of the present ono when the Souse meets. On Saturday tho following significant passage appeared iu its leading column: "No one deserves the lish who docs not know how to open tho oyster, ami if the Government is wrecked from want of knowledge iu playing their cards, thoy cannot blaiuu rtily one but themselves. * * * The position is simply this: Tho parties are equally balanced, with perhaps ono in favor of tho Government; but this Is insufficient'to onrry on tho business1 of the country," Evidently tho follow is posing for another jump, It is a caso of rats deserting a sinking ship. —— ... .»—. . ilevJrfli Serrieci Anotiieu LANn-si.ir.—A correspondent informs us of another laud-slip having occurrod on tho C. P. R, line near tho residence of Mr. Mclvor, Maplo Ridge. Mr, Hincho's party- were at work when it occurred. Somo of tho Chinamen, our correspondent writes, had to run for it. It was feared there would he more similar movements. Thnt formation would appear to lio as great au engineering puzzle as tho big Mini Slide near Nicomin. Would it not be worth while to hnvo a thorough examination with a view to nscortaiiiing cause and roiuody? Tho question not only soriously afl'eots railway construction, but it involves the autonomy of soveral very valuable homesteads. The special services which had been iu progress for tho previous threo weeks in the Methodist Church of tlii* city, woro brought to a closo on Sunday last. At tho morning servico the pastor read the "General Rules" of tho Society and preached upon the duties and responsibilities of Church membership. In* the evening four adults were baptized and forty-live persons received as candidates for membership. Subsequently the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to a large number of communicants. Tho congregation completely tilted tho entire edifice aud the services throughout were of tho most impressive character, Indeed no thoughtful mind could fail to bo a fleeted by the spectacle of so large a number of our neighbors, of both sexes and all ages, from' the aged grandfather to tho child of comparatively tender years —husbands and wives, parents aud children —■ thus uniting with the Church of Christ and pledging themselves as following the divine Redeemer. One pleasing feature iu connection witli the reception above referred to is tho fact that, so far as known, none of those uniting with the Methodist Church havo lvountly beon connected with any other Church or congregation in the eity. It may bo added that in almost overy instance tho professed converts have voluntarily signed tho temporanco pledge which was on baud each evening and received thoy had.found a largo number of additional names. . trim Doctors Disagreeing, It appears that thore is a disagreement* among the Engineers lespecting tho route of tho C. P. R. from a point at Port Haney west to tho crossing at Pitt river,—one party contending that a shorter an!d better line can bo obtained by keeping 0i\ok from the Fraser, while the clayey formation so liable to slides would bo entirely avoided—the other party contending for ths shore line as at present laid flown. We hear that "a council of war" was held on the subject at. Port Haney last week, aud that simiohigli-jiiika wero enacted, but no final conclusion reached. Without presuming to express an opinion on a purely engineering question, we may be permitted to sny respecting the alleged change of station that there appears to exist amongst the settlers an opinion strongly adverse to it. It is contended that the location originally made possesses the Important advantages of being inoire central and easily accessible to those for whose accommodation stations are generally supposed to-be created. Supreme Court. (linn. Sir. Jitsflcu Oro;inc presiding,) Mondag, JYtJt'. "7, The Court met at 11 o'clock ;.. m. The Crown was represented by Mr, McElmon, and tho Bar by Messrs, Bole and Corbould. GRAND JUHY. The following i'ontlemon wera sworn in as a Grand Jury:—J. C. Armstrong, Walter Blackie, Jno. 13. Lord, Jas. Cunningham, Robt, Dickinson, R. W, Deane, Chas. MoDunoiigh, H. V. Edmonds, Henry Elliott, Fred. Eickhoft; W. 1"). Ferris, Jno. Hendry, Jas. W, Haydy, Hugh MeRobecU, Henry Mathers, Daniel Mills, Geo. Turner, W, B. Townseud, Jas. Wise, Goo. C. Webster, Robt. Dickinson was ohoSdti foreman. Tllli SUtlQU's OHAllOB. Tho learned Judgo, addressing the Grand Jury, said tho eases before the Court were of a character sullicieutly grave to demand Borious attention. Two of tho indictments wore for the highest oH'encOs known to the law; and threo wero for stealing cattle—an offence which, in this country whore so many cattle Vanches existed, and whero there were so many facilities for making away with stock, would be very apt to increase unless checked by the strong arm of the law. A ffcor vei-y briefly referring to tho several cases, his Lordship pointed out that tho province of a Grand Jury was not to try a case, but to ascertain from the evidence whether there was a prima facie ease suflicient to justify the case going to a petit jury.

York, a cnttlu-raiser of Sumas, lost a steer about July last, Me was informed thnt the.steer had been killed by .Indians, Three Indians named Jasper, Ned aud Sain, living about 2 miles from his place, were arrested, and, after examination before a Hingis- ito, wero committed for trial. In court Jasper pleaded guilty, slating in extenuation of his crime that York's steer had broken into tho field and destroyed a largo quantity of his crop. Ned (for whom Mr. Corbould appeared as counsel) entered a plea of not guilty. Mr. York gave evidence as tn the losing of the steer, and the information on which he hnd the II Indians arrested. The principal witness was Jasper, one of the accused Indiana, Mo stated that the three had arranged to kill York's steer because it had destroyed their crop. "It whs agreed UiatJaspor should kill tho animal while tho other two -kept watch. Hu killed the steer in a small bush within a rod of the llfl'ld, while Nod and Sam were engaged mending the fence. After kiil- ing it ho took olf the hide and cut Iho carcass into quarters. Each Indian took a quarter, aud also a third of tho remaining quarter. But after receiving his share Ned showed the whito feather and threw his quarter into tho bush. ' The others then became alarmed ami did likewise. Jasper staled very clearly lhat all threo were equally concerned in tho transaction. Mr. Corbould then consulted with Ned aud announced that ho would enter the plea of Guilty, a' course' which Iho lenrnfid Judge very highly commended. Tho jury was therefore discharged. Sam pleaded Not Guilty, and his caso wont to the jury oiv substantially the samo ovidonco, and aftor it brief consultation tho jury brought in a vordict Of Guilt*. The Grand Jury announced that 1UM.5* in the case of the Queen vs. Jnck, tho Queen vs. Joe, the Queen vs. Hall, and No Bill iu the case of the Queen vs. Lap Kino, for assault. Mr. Bole was counsel for Lap Kino. There being no other oases ready. Court was adjourned titl Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. Tuesday, Nov. 38. The whole day was occupied with the'case of the Queen against Joe, an Indian charged with tho murder of an Indian woman near Hnatinys, a short time ago; but inasmuch as Iho ease was not concluded, we shall hold over our report of tho evidence till next issue. Caution. We beg to call the attention of the trade and the publio to the welj-keowii quality ami eloganco of finish of our Gold Casus, guaranteed by us to be of eighteen karat Cold, U. S. Mint assay, or of fourteen karat Cold, as may be stamped, and nl™ to our mode of Boiling the Hame, charging only for the Acriui, WJsrauT (;f the gold used, and not tor the base metal comprised in springs, key pipes, filling of crown, etc. To illustrate which a tug accompanies each one of our Gohl Cases, vfh\eh plainly indicates not only the gross weight o'f the case, hut also tho Net weight of tho gold. In explanation (,\ the Above wc desire to suy that the old [dan of charging for the gross weight of tho c,ise,,as if it were all gold, worked well enough ds long as tho manufacturers were content with the amount of brass and ftteel actually re quired in its construction; but when the business was degraded into a contest as to who should get the most base motnl into the least quantity of gold and call it a Oold disc, then the time came when, iu the intcrost of dealers in American Watches, it became necessary to adopt a plan of selling, showing the buyer exactly how much Golu each ease contained. To avoid imposition, purchasers of Wnl- tham Watches will observe that every genuine watch, whether gold or silver, bears our trade mark on both case and movement, Cold cases are stamped "A, W. Co.;" and guarantee certificates accompany them. Silver cases are stamped "A. M. Watch Co., Waltham, Mass., sterling silver," and are accompanied by guarantee certificates, signed ft. E. .Bobbins, ^treasurer. The name "Waltham" is plainly cngraverl upon all movements, irrespective of either distinguishing marks, This caution is rendered necessary by reason of the fact that our cases are frequently separated from our movements, and put upon worthless movements of other makers and vice, trrm, thus affecting injuriously tins performance of the watches, and vitiating our guarantee, which is intended to cover only our complete watches wholly made by us. It is necessary nlso, because it is so notorious as to be a public scandal thnt there is great fraud in the metal quality of both gold nud silver cases as now generally sold. Wo have demonstrated by frequent assays that many gold and silver canes offered in the market arc debased from 10 to 1*0 per cent, from the quality they assume to be. This is a fraud upon the purchaser, and accounts for the low price ut which such eased watches have been sold.— American Watch Company, Waltham, Mass.

Major'! mul Ja-nei Ciumlii<-Iiiii.i,*0, Now Westminster, B. OV ************ii***M gjgjggggjg* ©ur §tor!). THE MINISTER'S SON. CHAPTER IX. OK THE BRINE OF DECISION. (Gontttinod.) He had reached a turn in the Inverallan avonue where a road leading to the back entrance brunched oil', when, glancing toward the house, he saw that several figures were standing on the lawn inspecting some .young horses, whioh were being trotted up and down. He could distinguish Muriol and her father, and he thought it was Captain Leslie who stepped forward and mounted a restive animal that had proved too much for tho groom. He could not go down there und himself J-resent his note, nor did he care to ace strangers; -ho would go by tho other road and give it to tho servant. As he entered the court-yard ho met Mrs. Simpson on her way to the dairy. "Mr. Ronald! Were you Becking any one? The gentry*3 all out on tho lawn there, with the wild horses tho captain's brought." The house-keeper apoke almost auspiciously. What mould this -young man be coming round then for ? Bhe wondered, "I saw there were visitors, Mrs. Simpson, ftn*A -slid not care to stop and Vie them. I Only want to leave this note fdr Miss Forbes—I am anxious ihe should have it to-day," said Ronald, the anxiety very visible 'on his face. "Perhaps yeu will seo to it. You might give it to her when sho is disengaged, he added, hesitatingly. He did not like to say "whon sho ia alone." "YflS) I'll tako charge of it," Bhe replied- and Ronald returned as he had come. "What can he be wanting, writing to Miss Muriel, I'd like to know?" thought Mrs. Simpson, dropping the note into a capacious pocket. "She's enough to attend to without being ' troubled wi' the likes 0' him; and she's going off, too, in an hour," There are accidents into which it is ta well never to enquire too curiously. Human nature is strangely sly, even in communing with itself. Mrs, Simpson did uot distinctly say to herself that she would not deliver the note—that would have been a breach of duty—but sho could send it up a little later, when the horses were gone, and the ladies should have come in, and Miss Muriel should be disengaged; aud meantime, though the footmen were closo at hand in the pantry to carry it, her pocket was a safe {place to put it. It was lato before the horses had been sent round; luncheon had to be eaten hurriedly and last orders given; the carriage was at the door, and tho whole party set off for Ardenshaugh only just in timo to catch their train. The note was not delivered before they left, and was thereafter genuinely forgotten. Mrs. Simpson had much to see to in her master's absence. Certain changes were to be made in the house. She put on a commoner dress next day, and Ronald's note remained in the pocket of the ono she -hung up in her closet. CHAPTER X. TUB DIB 28 CAST. Ronald waited patiently, longingly, Vonderingly, at last angrily, for the .reply to his letter that never came. Was this the end of Muriel's friendship ? Gould she not spare time or attention to enable her to write one kindly word 1 Gould she not sympathize with him in his trouble, or wus she porchaftce angry because ho hud told her that he owed so much to her ii fluence ? Had that touched her prido 1 Oh, that could hardly be! Perhaps it was Leslie's doing—he might have seon Ronald's letter, and forbidden her to reply. Well, whatever the cause, it was clear that ho would ask for neither help nor sympathy again. He must, as he had said, stand or fall alone. The two days' grace his father had aceerded him had elapsed. Bennett had sternly determined that the backslider must be admonished, all the more faithfully since he was his only ton; and he did not spare to carry out his determination. Ronald listened ■doggedly to the admonition, which, "while it exposed his weakness, his want of faith, his obstinacy, his un- filial self-will, showed also that his father failed to understand either his scruples or his regrets. He made no attempt to reply; but he kissed his mother fondly as he bade her goodnight, and before day broke he was on his road to Edinburgh. There was a sound in the manse of "an exceeding bitter cry'' when, led by some secret uneasiness early to his room, his mother saw the untouched bed and realized that he had fled from his home. Never in their previous sorrow had her husband seen her give way to such vehement grief; and, with her wailing fresh in his ears, he hurried to make all possible enquiries; and though ho struggled hard to keep up a show of sternness, his self-confidence was, in truth, somewhat rudely shaken. fit could obtain no clew to the secret of his son's Bight. Knowing •very short out well, Ronald had avoided the neighboring railway-stations and had walked a considerable distance before he took a Fife train, nnd so crossed the ferry to Edinburgh. All trace of him was completely lost, Mid ugly fears were whispered about aa to his safety. Meanwhile, in tho town he hod many a narrow escape of recognition*, but by carefully avoiding the streets and hoars in which he was most likely to meet his friends, he did •scape, and soon his appearanco wus so altered that a careless passer-by would not have known hiin. Who haa not heard ef the pitiful struggles, the bitter disappointments, that await the needy who have no recommendation but their need, and no companion but their hunger? It is so terribly easy for a hot-headed boy to flip out of his place in the world, bo easy to baffle pursuit, so easy to secure oblivion, except at some one fireside; but having slipped away in search of freedom and a living, the Grst seems often purchasable only at the expense of the hut. Ronald had a small sum of money belonging to him. Lady Forbes had presented him, in his babyhood, with a note, which hud boen accumulating for him in tho bank ovor sinco; but the deposit-receipt wus at tho munse, and he would not writo for it—to do so would be to confess himsolf beaten; and bo, with some pounds lying in hia >i&uie at Tillybodle, ho often lacked a meal in Edinburgh. His mother, who steadily refused to bolievo that harm had befallen him, trusted that before long he would claim this very receipt; but she did not guess the extent of his obstinate pride. Sometimes he earned a few shillings by copying; once he was paid for an article iu the old debating-olub stylo whioh he took to a second-rate paper. But precarious work would not do, and no one would tako a clerk without a single reference of any kind, nor even a respectable home address. Ronald sunk lower as day by day went hopelessly by. He grow more slovenly, less active in searching for work, and would ovon earn u stray sixpence by taking a message, and spend mnro of it on whisky than on food, loitering afterward about tho doors of tho public-house. Of his mother he thought as littlo as possible, striving to ignore her piyn, and nourishing his prido by dwelling on his father's harsh and stern ways. Sometimes he wondered if he should emigrate, but the old craving for adventure wbb gone. He had 110 money, and tho prospect of working his way out was far less delightful when seon near at hand than when dreamed of at tho manse fireside, A strange listless- ness and disinclination for exertion oppressed him and made him shrink from any such decisive stop. Poor lad! ho did not know that want of food was rapidly telling on his young strength. It was time, full time, that he should be saved, if saved ho were to bo, from losing himself altogether. Rescue came in tho shape of a recruiting-sergeant, whose quick eye observed the broad shoulders of the youth who slouched in to get a glnss nt midday, eating hungrily the while a hunch of stale bread. "You'd fare better than that with us, my lad," said ho. "A fellow like you had better be serving the Queen than earning chance pennies iu the street." Ronald laughed, "I suppose I'm good enough to bo food for powder at least, though for nothing else," "You may do a good deal worse than take tho shilling, young man. You speak as though you'd had education—if you havo, you'll soon got on." "Get on to what, sergeant? Can you show me chapter aud verso, now?—I don't want any recruiting stories," said Ronald. "I wouldn't try any on you," said the sergeant- who saw that this was not exactly a common recruit, and he proceeded to givo a sufficiently business-like account of a soldier's prospects. Ronald listened without evincing much interest, except when the man apoke of the chances of promotion. "Why, our own colonel rose from the ranks," said he; "and what one man has done another may do." At this Ronald's eyes Hushed, nnd, with barely a moment's pnuso for reflection, he threw his cup on tho table: "On with your ribbons, then; I may as well try soldiering—it'll bo u change, anyhow." If the sergeant smiled at the phraso Ronald did not observe it, und ni he walked away ho hardly realized that ho had bound himself without power to change, A very few days of his now lifo recalled him to something of his former self; good food, clean quarters, and regular hours restored his body and his mind and ho shuddered us ho thought of the depths to which ho hud sunk during the short time that had elapsed since he left home. He oven determined that he would write and tell his mother of tho step he hud taken; but again the remembrance of his father's angry scorn made him pause, and whilo he hesitated he was recognized by u gentleman who, ns he passed up to the Castle, glanced with a professional eye at the squad of recruits engagad in the mysteries of the ballauce-step. Inquiry satisfied him of the correctness of his surmise, and he left Edinburgh in consequence hy an early train, "Muriel, I have found your missing man," said ho, as ho entered tho drawing-room at Ardouahnugh. "Oh, Frank! where? What has he been doing?' she exclaimed, while Sir Duncan looked up from his book. "That 1 don't know, but he is now a private in the Second Highlanders. I saw him drilling at the Castle," "Enlisted! How angry his father will bel And oh, what a blow for poor Mrs. Bennett!" "I thought he'd do that," said Sir Duncan. "He'll make a capital boI- dier—the lifo will just suit htm." "But, papa, a private soldier's is hardly the position ono expected for him—with his education, too. Oh dear, I'm sorry I" "Ho could scarcely afford to be nn officer,'1 said Loslio. "No, of course not, though it ia vory wrong that ihat should be so, Frank, But eun't we find anything better for him than to be a private I Can't we buy him oft'?"* The result of this conversation wns that a telegram was sent at once to the nianso, and was followed next day by Sir Duncan in person. What passed there surprised oven hiin, well as he knew the pride and reserve of the couple with whom he had to deal. At the news of his son's bodily safety Mr. Bennett rocovorod his composure and launched into invectives against tho profession whicli, as he said, Ronald must havo known that he disapproved and condemned. The mother, shaken as sho was by grief and anxiety, shed fresh tours of joy on hearing that her boy wus found, but sided so far with hor husband that she thought Ronald was lowering himself utterly by enlisting in the ranks. "He might havo avoided that, at least," she said, "knowing his father's views." {To bo Continued.)
