Saturday Morning, Jan. M, ISM. current Events and Opinions Just as tlie Republican party goes out of power the Washington monument . at Washington reaches its completion. This unspeakably hideous erection boasts that it is the highest structure in the world, though therer are on6 or two chimneys of chemical works in Euglimd which might dispute with it tlm palm of height as well as of beauty. If the Americans had tried to produce satire on their own ideas of art they could not have succeeded better. There is not such another piece or bad taste in the world. Tiie worst of it is that the monument mars, by its oppressive hideousness, the general aspect of a city which is fast growing in beauty as woll qs in social attractions of every kind,— The Week- It is surprising how many people get their ideas warped by not doing their own thinking. Tlio Dominion government declared that so far as their contract with the syndicate was . concerned, it ended, tvt Port Moody, consequently relinquishing to the province the whole of the land lying between that point and the Straits of Georgia. Immediately Mr. Smithe obtained that avowal from the federal authorities he opened communication with the syndicate, or interviewed * its members personally, and succeeded in obtaining their consent to an extension of the line to Goal Harbor on condition of receiving a land bonus of about' 6000 acres, the balance of the land being retained by the proviuce. Now it matters not how the thing is done, or by whom, or who may be benefitted by tbe transaction individually—the country gains largely by the operation, and great praise is nevertheless due to Mr, Smithe for the able manner in whioh the work was performed. Hy an extension of tho-line the province will benefit by the expenditure, and provincial and other lands will rapidly enhance in value consequent on the immense improvements to be undertaken, Squatters rights if uny will receive just consideration and their claims possibly go before tbe supreme, court for adjudication; at' least we are surmising that the government will offer no opposition to such a course. We can sympathize with innocent investors in Fort Moody property, but the interests of the provinco cannot be subordinated to speculators of an unauthorized character. Neither can they with justice blame the government, for tho matter rested entirely with the syndicate, and nobody ought to have invested largely without some assurance from that body, that Port Moody was to be the permanent location of their terminus. This they did not do, find if there is any suffering, it oan only be charged to those who either wilfully or inno- . cently misled their victims. Mr, Duncan Mclntyre refused to buy* a foot of land at Port Moody when offered to him by tbo writer about three years ago, and in the interest of property owners at thnt place it is hoped the syndicate will extend tho line ' from thero instead of diverging from Pitt River, which would cut it off completely.—The (Victoria) People, The British VOLUME 27 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0„ SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1885.

Apyly at THIS OFFICE. nnlile It is strange that a man of so muoh sense as Sir John Macdonald and oue at the same time so versatile and buoyant should be so little able as he appears to be to threw off the disagreeable recollections of the past, and that he should oven be given to awakening sleeping dogs whioh his sagacity ought to tell him lie had muoh better let lie, Why cannot he allow the Pacifio Kailway scandal to be forgotten? Tliat it was condoned and practically consigned to oblivion, though it would bave ruined any public man but himself, is the host proof tliat he can have of his wonderful popularity nnd of his hold upon his party and the people. With this reflection ho had much better rest content- Yet he is always challenging afresh the moral judgment of the country, which cannot bo given in his favor without a total abandonment of principle and a ruinous debasement of tho stand* ard Of public life. To compare such a transaction to the subscriptions of politicians in England to the Election Fund of tho Carlton or Reform (Hub is preposterous; thero is no resemblance whatever betweon the . two cnseB, Sir Hugh Allan was not a politician, nor did he care a straw for any question between the {.cquiesence:^'.*. Hm object was purely commercial, and he pursued it like the miracle of moral callousness that ho was. We bad his letters to his American confederates telling, them that in bis opinion the most desirable course would. bo to corrupt tbe government through Sir George Oar- tier; tbe record of his negotiation with Sir George for fche.-j^jwidenoy of the railway, tho Prime Minister taking part by telegram; his Undertaking in the'form of a letter of even date with the concession to furnish to each of three members of tho government a large sum to be used in the elections; and his letter to his confederates assuring them that he had obtained from .the government all that he and tbey could desire. Finally we had foe telegrams at tbe crisis-of tlio election, calling upon Sir Hugh Jgr further payments in consideration "of tite good thins whioh bo had'obtained. A subscriber to tho Garlton or Reform Olub Fund would bo stung to tbe soul by the slightest suggestion that bis subscription was in any way connected with the hope of obtaining a commercial favor from the government. To say that the presidency was sold to Sir Hugh Allan would be harsh; but he'wus compelled, in consideration of tbe concession, to pay a great sum to the election expenses of the party from tho hands of which he had received it; perhaps tho practice of assessing office-holders to the party expenses iu the United States is the closest antilogy that can be named. Nobody calls for Sir John's "vouchers,* or has ever imagined that nny part of the money alloted to him by the agreement was used for any purposes thnn those of tbe pnrty. On the other hnnd it is not true that the opposition "spent money in bribing a man to steal papers from liis employer." The papers came into their hands in a much less objectionable way. And now surely this most offensive corpse may be allowed to rest in its grave till tbe historical Day of Judgment—The Week . Provincial Legislature. MONDAY. On motion uf Mr. Allen tlio correspondence relating to public works in Lillooet distriot wus ordered to be printed. Hon. Mr. Itulison presented a bill to consolidate the Public Schools Acts, whioh waa read a first timo, Mr. HolgoBUii moved fur a rat urn allowing..the names of all ovpnra of lauds, giving quantities hold by ench, and diatinguiBbing betweon thoso whoso mimes woro registered nml thoso whi'sii mimes did not appear in tho registry offlco, Hon. Mr, Smithe said tho mover ahould hnvo explained his reason for submitting, such a resolution, 'The government could not obtain the information -naked, and tlio mover ought to hnvo suggested liow.it could bo obtained. He could make curtain re!urns, but could not possibly return the names of persons who were owners but hud not registered. If tlio mover had nny definite object in view the government would gladly give its assistance, but the motion went entirely boyond the limit of reason or possibility. Mr. Drake snid the mover could get from the registry ollice all the infoi :I'**i onthia pc'.nt within ronch of tho government. Hon. Mr. Davie said ns far as the land registry ofllce wns concerned tho government had uo power to search the records. Mr, Helgesen a-»id what he wanted to know wns the quantity of lnnd and the names of the owners. The resolution was put nud lost ou a vote of 12 to 7. On motion of Mr. Grant it wns resolved to establish now polling places nt Port Essiugton nnd Lorno Creek, iu Cassiar, The following bills wore introduced: To amend tlio Jurors' Aut, by Hon.

During the discussion of this question at the last ,session it came out that a large number of the members of the house were in favor of extending tliis privilege in accordance with tho petition, and we should uot be surprised if it should become law this year. The gratifying success of tlie woman suffrage act in Washington Territory will do much to disabuse men's minds of the prejudices existing in this country respecting the measure. Judge Greene, whose opinion ought to carry great weight, has endorsed the operation of the law in the most cordial and emphatic manner, and its effects have already been shown in a tendency towards enforcing laws relating to moral questions. British Columbia greatly needs the moral influence which would como from the enfranchisement of women, and we earnestly hope the prayer of the petition will be granted. A Journalistic Freak. Since the opening of the legislature tlie Victoria Times has manifested a very marked hostility towards the government. Tliis hostility has not been a dignified or even a reasonable opposition, but it savors clearly of personal bitterness. No person possessed of common sense, and concerned about the permanent welfare of the country, can reasonably object to fair criticism of a government's policy. Indeed, a strong antl well-organized opposition is one of the most essential safeguards in legislation as well as executive government. But there is a vast difference between a proper and dignified opposition and the insinuations and fault-finding with which the Times has lately been .busying itself. When u journalist refers to the provincial secretary as "Boss -John," and to his cotemporary of the CV<W-tf as "Bave,".one suspects afe once that argument and logic have been laid aside us unsuitable to the subject, and unprofessional epithets adopted to tickle the ears of the vulgar. The Times has shown its unreasonable hostility in many ways wliich could not have escaped the notice of its readers, and its change of front from independence to partisanship is much to be regretted. One of its latest freaks is to become the organ of what is commonly known as the "squatters ring," whose interests it is advocating with a vigor aud iu discretion whicli smacks strongly of the paid advocate. We are inclined to think this development is only a temporary derangement, and that the Times will yet return to its former condition of common sense. , License Laws. Petitions are being circulated through the country praying that the provincial legislature will amend the license act so as to prohibit the sate of liquors on Sunday. These petitions, we. understand, are receiving a large number of signatures, .as, indeed, they should, for the prayer of them is certainly an extremely modest one. The fact that such a petition is necessary shows how fur behind, the rest of the Dominion this province is with respect both to the regulation of tlie liquor traffic and the laws relating to Sabbath observance. But it seems to ua that the petition should have gone further. It asks that bars shall lm closed at 12 o'clock on Saturday night. The Ontario law, we believe, requires barn to close at 7 o'clock. It is on Saturday night that the largest amount of drinking ■ is usually done, When men have finished the labors of the week, the temptation to dissipation sometimes coines with peculiar force. If the bars were closed on Sunday as proposed by the petitions, this temptation woultl lw*cotm* still stronger, and a great deal of the drinking now done on Sunday - would take place on Saturday night, Wc do not see any reason why there should bu hesitation in adopting in this country a law wliich is udmitted to Ite one of tlw lwst license laws ever placed upon a statute hook. Indeed, th6 Ontario license law, with modifications suitable to the cireum- stances of tlio country, might bu wholly adopted by our legislature with great Iwnetit. There is undoubtedly needed some provision by which the number of licenses will be limited. Under our present laws there is no limit. If the liquor traffic is to lie regulated by a license law, the number of licenses should be in proportion to the population. One of the objects of the regulations respecting liquor licenses is to limit the extent of the temptation and thu evil resulting from the exposure and sale of intoxicating liquors. With this object in viow it is of great importance that the number of licenses should be limited, for it is au established fact that the drink ing done is iu proportion to the number of drinking places. We believe also that the license fee should be greatly increased, and that no new license should be granted anywhero without an unmistakable expression to that effect from the people where the license is asked. This principle was clearly sot out in the Dominion act, and it commends itself to tlie judgment of all unprejudiced persons. If the legislature takes up the liquor question this session (and we earnestly hope it will), it should pass a comprehensive measure which will place this province on somewhat of an equality with other provinces of the Dominion in this respect.1.' 1 The Probable Rash. There are abundant indications of a very large immigration to this province during thu coming season. The year just closed has seen extensive additions to our population, and a very large area of our limited agricultural land has been taken up but we are inclined to think that the immigration of 1885 will greatly exceed that of 1884. Mr. Ross, the provincial immigration agent at this city, has lately been receiving an unusually large number of letters from persons who propose to leave for this province during the year. These letters come from many different states in America, from every province in Canada, and from Europe. There are a great many British immigrants in the states and territories west of the Missouri river who are anxious to settle on the Pacific coast, and who would prefer to locate in British Columbia, These people were led away by glowing advertisements setting forth the advantages and attractions of the west; but they find tlie climate so unexpectedly severe, and the blizzards and cyclones so dreadful, that they have come to the conclusion thut the disadvantages discount seriously the richness of soil which these regions undoubtedly enjoy. If tlie reports from this province are such as to Batisfy them, they will come in companies of tens, twenties antl fifties, and will make permanent homes among us. The same causes which have produced so much discontent in the western states exist to n certain extent in Manitoba and the Canadian north-west, and from these regions the immigration to this province will certainly be considerable so soon as the C.P.R.. has been completed across the mountains. The prospective arrival of a great immigration this year should stimulate both the government and tho municipalities to make every reasonable preparation for their reception. It is quite as important that immigrants should be retained in the country as that they should be induced to come to our shores. Indeed it is more so, for those who go away disappointed and discouraged may do more harm thau can be undone by a good many immigration agents. Ono of the greatest necessities of this part of Iho country is the opening up and improvement of roads, so that new settlements may be reached and central markets may become more accessible. The appropriations made for roads last year were very liberal, and a large amount of work was accomplished. But from many quarters there still coines up tho cry for road improvements. It is a cry that will continue to l» heard until many thousands of dollars have been expended in that direction. The finances of the province are fortunately in a very satisfactory condition. There is a good sum of cash assets in hand, and the revenue has very greatly exceeded the liberal estimates of last session. We hope thu government will make the wisest possible use of this surplus und invest it in improvements that will be of permanent value to the province. It will lie the duty of tlie municipalities also to expend wisely the revenues which may come info their hands. These revenues will increase in proportion to the wisdom with which they are expended. We hope the services of competent local immigration agents will be secured in the various localities where they have proved so useful during the past season. We cannot extend too muoh aid and sympathy-to those whoso bona tide intention it is to become permanent residents of the proviuce; nnd in securing them we aro advancing the interests of the country as well as our own, - A Rare Chance!

The remains wen interred in the Roman Catholic cemetery. We are sure Mr. MoDonough will undoubtedly have the sympathy of the public in bis sad and sudden bereavement.

Now, first of all, the practice referred to was inaugurated and carried out by tlio Walk em-Boa ven administration, aiid it is singular that the "clear swindle" of it waa not discovered during tho existence of that administration. It will, howover, be an easy task to show that there is no "swindle" about it; but tliat tho writer in tho Standard has sadly mixed matters—really doos not understand the subject at all. Tho statute referred to ns allowing the government to add 25 per cent, upon taxos becoming delinquent did, in our opinion, partake somewhat of the nature of a "clear swindle''; but it wna passed by the Wnlkem-Boaveu administration and was disallowed by the Dominion government years ngo. But the pre sent arrangement is the very reverse of a swindle. "Look at your notices of assoBsment" nud you will find; thnt, so'far from adding to the amount of the tax you are liable to pay under the statute, the government actually mnke a material reduction as an inducement to pay hefore the SOth of dune. Tho larger sum plnced on yuur notice is the actual amount of your tax; the lessor sum is that which will bo accepted in full satisfaction, provided you pay before the SOth of June. If yuu will exorcise your powers in mental arithmetic you will discover that, in* stead of adding 50 per cent, or anything to your taxos, the govornment offer you a discount of 83f por cont. as an inducement to pay before the expiration of tho fiscal yonr—thereby affording the taxpayer an opportunity of relieving himself to that extent. And it works like a charm. So much for the opposition organ's attempt to fasten "a clear Bwindle" upon the government. It would bo amusing ff it were not pitiable to witness the futile struggle of opposition organs to discover somo vulnerable point, and tho vory pitiabloiiess of it tondB to pemonstrate the excellence of our pro* sent administration.- Colonial. Tbe Scott Act. Tress Dlsputeh.1 Gublph, Ont., Jan. .22.—The prohibitory liquor law known as the Scott Act was carried in tbis city to-day by a majority of 168.

The following original poem was sung at Granville by members of the Choral Union and received with immense enthusiasm: Where the sea with tender murmur Wooeth Boft the silver strand, There above the fairest inlet, Moodyville and Granville stand. As within those ocean waters Either town is mtrror'd fair, Noteth each with friendly glances Her fair rival's imago there. White-winged ships seek this still haven, White-winged birds their pinions lave. White, pure bridal white, tbe mountains Part the air and paint the wave. Peace, prosperity and plenty Grace eaoh home upon thy strand, Brave thy softs be, pure thy daughters, While thy hills around thee stand. Hail fair inlet! Expectation Bids thee open wide thine arms; Fortune comes with speed to seek thee, Ope thine eyes, and dress thy charms! See, along thine iron Roadway Messengers come rushing fleet, e'rly they haste to scatter pland treasures at thy feet.

Report reaches tho city from prirnto sources that the party now engaged iii prospecting for coal at Quatsino hava met with most flattering success. A vein was opened out long since, which measures thirteen foet four inches*in wiath and is of tho finest quality, some people pronouncing it anthracite. The San Francisco compnny havo ahout fifty men at work and nre rapidly developing two mines, taking out considerable coal in the meantime. A gentleman . who arrived down uot long since Btates that • VERY SIGNIFICANT M8COVHUEK Havo recently beon made^south of Quatsino Sound, or not far from what is known as the Southeast Arm, the coal seams lying wost of tho latter body of water. Coal, he says, wna originally discovered on the nortii sido of the inlet, hut a better quality is now- thought to, lie to tho south. It is apparently the object of the company now at work to keop mattera very quiot, but recent reports from tho locality in question, show that rapid progress has beeu made and they are now confident that several cargoes will be shipped during the COMING HUMMER, It !b understood that a shaft hns been sunk to a depth of 180 feet on one of tlio mines and sovoral cross-cuts run. Theso developments woro the means of opening up wonderful bodies of coal, which, it is claimed, will prove a surprise ovon to the most sanguine. It is said that a vessel'will sail from this city bofore tong with more provisions; the last supply, which wns taken up in October, having become nearly exhausted. Some prospecting is being dono south of the inlet and it ia thought the 'coming summer will witness mining on a very extensive scale. A letter was recoived by a gentleman in this city a few days since, from San Francisco, in which the RESULT OF A THST Of some coal from'Quatsino was given. The coal was taken from one of thb mines opened last fall, and is said to exceed in quality thut taken from tho old mines which wore partly developed somo years ago. The letter stated thst nn effort would bo made to secure the contract fur supplying the China-steam ships which aro to run in connection with tho Canadian Pacifio railroad when the line is completed. The advantage claimed by this coal company is that the distance from their mine to China is much less than any other available coal deposits, and tho harbor facilities far superior, the mines being practically in the TRACK OF STEAM KRS Going to and from China and the terminal point of the O.P.R. While tbe samples of coal recently exhibited, as having come from Quatsimo, nre very fine, yet the conl ia nut equal to the Pennsylvania anthracite as claimed by some although it may improve in qunlity as depth is obtained—suoh frequently proving tho case in the nbove mentioned State.—Victoria Times, Richmond Council.

Campenon, and the appointment of M, Lewal, as a minister of *or, has a far- reaching significance. It means an abandonment of the cautious conduct of the war in China, aud an attempt to seise Pekin. Whether this con beaccompllsh- ed.is a question open to doubt; but it is certain that it oan be done only at an immense cost of life and treasure, and the game is not worth the candle, as France would not be allowed to retain Pekin, and beyond using it as ft means to extort a war indemnity no end could bs gained. M. Campenon Is of opinion that Prince Bismark is encouraging M. Ferry in his war policy. France is already embroiled with Spain and ItaL', and her relations with England are terribly strained. The ex-minister of war thinks that France ought to conserve her energies for the struggle that is inevitable in Europe, and not to be wasting them on colonization schemes. Montreal, Jan. 12.—The customs au* thorities here have unearthed a series of gigantic frauds which have been perpetrated upon them by Brosseau k Tisa- belle, an old and prominent firm of custom brokers here, in collusion with several merchants of this oity. The modus operandi was to have invoices printed here resembling thoso furnished by ex* porters from Europe and the United States, with the value of the goods entered at a greatly-reduced rato. The name of the importer attesting to the value of the goods wu then forged and the invoice passed. In this mannermany respectable houses have also been swindle.'* ' " them r_„ in pocketing the difference, A special agent of customs hero says it is impossible to arrive at any estimate of the amount tlie department has lost by the swindle, hut he estimates that last year alone it will amount to over 8100,000, The minister of customs has ordered the arrest of the brokers, but they, cannot be found, Toronto, Jan, 12.—It Is understood that the Dominion and Manitoba governments have arrived at an agreement relative to the financial arrangements. between the two, whioh will take effect from January lst. It is in substance thut, in lieu of her lands, which are held nnd administered as Dominion lands, the province shall receivo an annual grant of $100,000 instead of $45,000, as now ; and that this shall be regarded as a final set* tlement of the land question. In addition to this, the provinco is to be put in possession of all the swamp lands within her borders, instead of one-half the swamp area as before. Ottawa, Out., Jan. 18.-It is gener- ally believed that by the ond of the present fiscal year there will be a deficit in the Dominion treasury. Three years ago tiie government had a surplus of over $7,000,000,-which the minister of finance said would be kept up. Returns published by tho government show tho revenue to have fallen off during the past six months from $1,561,000 to 81,- 050,000, as compared with the lost six months of 1883. Iu the face of this shrinkage of revenue expenditures were increased from $13,750,000 to $14,860,- 000, or nearly $1,200,000.

New York, Jan. 20.—A St. Paul special to the Tribune says: It is stated that there are extensive deposits of coal at different points along the western division of the Canadian Pacific Railway iu Manitoba. While digging wells, instead of- water the drill penetrated sab* terranean gas tanks in several instances, and operations were suspended. Lighted matches were held at the surface of the wells and the escaping gas ignited at once, and lias been burning ever since without interruption or sign of cessation. It is the general impression that immense beds of coal and deposits of petroleum wilt soon be developed in that region, especially in the vicinity of Saskatchewan river, London, Jan, 21.—Gen. Stewart's force consisted of about 1500 effective men, Tho Arabs made their attack in a tumultous rush directed principally on tlie sido of the square held by the Hussars. Tbis side of the square was broken at one time* during the fight. Officers attribute tbis disaster to the unruly conduct of tho camels which got powder burned and became uncontrollable. The line waa speedily reformed. The discipline of tho men was splondid, Tho artillery maintained un enfilading fire which piled dead Arabs up in heaps. The space in front of the British right flank was a 'veritable slaughter-pen and when the Arabs were finally repulsed they left 800 of their number (lead upon tho field. The number of their wounded able to mareh or to he carried from the field is estimated at 2000. London, Jan. 21.—A special giving additional particulars of the battle near Abuklea Bays : "The battle was a fearful hand-to-hand fight. Most of the Arabs were armed with spears and protected by spiked shields of oxhide. They rushed to close quarters and swarmed ovor the bodies of their dead und wounded comrades. The English troops, after the tirst round was fired, fought with shortened sabres anil sword-bayonets, wielded at ltslf-arin length.

Stewart has bad a heavy engagement with a portion of the Mahdi's forces near Abuklea Wells, nbout 23 miles this side of Metemuch. Tho rebels had collected from Berber, Metemneh, and Omduram- The last placo, I regret to say, prisoners roport, was recently captured by the Mahdi, and his men were released from thero to fight Gen.

Stewart's right flank. Ou Saturday Gen. Stewart endeavored to draw the enemy to make an attack, but the rebels hesitated, in consequence of which Gen, Stewart left all Ins implements,, and the camels, with a guard of tbo Sussex regiment and some mounted infantry and moved forward, keeping his forces in the form of a square. All the men were on foot. The British army passed around the enemy's' flank, forcing them to make an attack or bs subject to an enfilade fire, The enemy wheelen to tbe left and made a well-organized charge under a withering fire from' our men. The square was unfortunately penetrated about its left rear, where heavy cavalry and camel regiments were in possession, by s|ieer weight of numbers. The admirable steadiness of our men. enabled them to maintain a hand-to-hand fight with the opposing for.es, while severe punishment was being inflicted upon the enemy by all other parts of the square. The enemy was finally driven back under heavy fire from all sides. The 16th hussars then pushed forward to the wells, whioh were m our possession by five fn the evening. The enemy left not less than 800 slain around the works. Prisoners taken while the enemy were retiring report the number of the enemy wounded quite exceptional, One immediate effect of the battler is that many rebels are submitting. It %as necessary for the army to remain at the wells some hours to obtain water. As soon as practicable the intention was to push on with all expedition to Metemneh, The English wounded are doing ■well. Gen, Wolseley says Gen Stewart concludes bis report as follows: it has been my duty to command the force from which exceptions! work, exceptional hardship, and exceptional fighting have been, called, and it would be impossible regret to aay was severe,' but our success has been so complete that it may dishearten the enemy to such an extent- tbat all tlieir future fighting may be of a lets obstinate character. Gen, Wolseley Bays: Gen. Stewart's operations have beeu most creditable to him aa a commander, and the nation has every reason to be proud of the gallantry and splendid spirit of her majesty's soldiers on this occasion. Our losses were 9 commissioned officers killed and 9 wounded, aud 65 non-commissioned officers and men killed and 85 wounded. Gen. Stewart's force consists of about 1000' men all told. Renter's telegam company's dispatch, dated near, Abuklea wells, Saturday noon, gives the following account of the engagement: When the hussar scouts returned yesterday, announcing that the rebels held the wells, the British force promptly formed in mass column and advanced to the wells. The guards marched at the left of the column, the heavy corps in the centre, and the mounted infantry at the right. The column halted within 3 miles of the wells, but the rebels showed no signs of moving, Tho British troops set to felling trees and clearing away the grass.in front of the column. An abbutis was formed around the baggage, and stone breastworks with a frontage of 150 yards erected as additional protection, lu the afternoon the enemy's camp was sighted, 4 miles from our Zearecba. It was composed of numerous tents, and appeared to be fairly well fortified. Meanwhile two groups of rebels were watching us from tlie high hills on our left front. At 0 in tho evoning the enemy fired a few stray shots ami the British replied with several shells. The enemy continued firing throughout Friday night, causing only one BUght casualty. On Saturday forenoon the enemy commenced advancing in two divisions iu echelon, each numbering some 5,000 men, beating drums and waving flags. Many of them were armed with rifles, 'ilie enemy occasionally halted as if trying to discover British formation. Meanwhile the British were steadily preparing for tho reception of the rebels. They formed iu a square, the artillery being placed in the centre, and we advanced to meet the overwhelming force of the enemy, who occupied favorable ground, showing great knowledge of the art of war. They draw us to difficult positions' for operations, when, by a cleverly executed movement, they almost disappeared from view, leaving only their standards visible. A largo body suddonly appeared and furiously charged upon the front of the British square. The British replied with a deadly fire, which the rebels were unable to withstand, and then turned and attacked the left rear of the square. The heavy troops were borne down by the onslaught, having broken formation for a few moments, hut quickly rallied, and a hand to hand fight ensued. The rebels penetrated the ranks, but were subjected to a heavy flank fire and finally driven back. Gen, Stewart had a narrow escape, his horse being killed under him. It hi reported rebels are in force at Wotemneh. Turin, Jan. 22.—The Gazette of this city declares that England und Italy have signed a treaty, providing that if Italy occupied the territory from Masaowan south to Obok, a distance of 300 miles, England agrees to support Italy in its occupation of Tripoli should the question arise, anil will favor the creation by Italy of a colony in WeBt Africa. Italy, the same paper says, iB giving ita moral support to England iu her Egyptian policy. London, Jan. 22.-The Pall Mall Gazette publishes under- reserve what purports to be the text of the agreement between England aud Turkey regarding Egypt. The paper says the agreement provides that the Turkish troops shall occupy Kgypt, with the exception of the ports of Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said, and Suez,whicli England will continue to occupy; that Turkey shall undertake to maintain order in tlio ulterior after the capture of Khartoum; that England ahall retain the garrison on the Red Sea, and abandon the Soudan to Turkey:nml thut Tewfik Pasha, the present Khedive of Egypt, shall be deposed, the Sultan of Turkey to appoint in his stead a pasha who does not belong to the family of MehemetAlt. A special from Berlin says: The Ger. man coltiiiizinji expedition is making rapid progress un the western coast of Africa. Official reports received state that tho German expedition formally annexed Oglet, Brahim, in the Hindo-Bru- ka country, four mites north of Seue- gambia. This action is understood to have beeu taken in pursuance of an agreement with France, which country haa hitherto claimed protection over this region, Reports of a more sensational i-l ui meter come from Sierra Leon, to the effect that the German flag has been hoisted in the interior of tlmt country, which has long beeu held hy England, This news, if confirmed, may lead to serious complications with England, as she will probably bo indisposed to give up any portion of the fertile colony of Sierra Leon or allow Germany an outlet to the sea through her coast possessions.

Perhaps the most artistic building ou the exhibition ground is the pavilion of the Dominion Organ and Piano Company of Bowmanville. It is moreover one of the most interesting to lovers of good music as being the location of a magnificent collection of instruments.

Russell, superintend eut of the tuning department, bought out the shareholders end assumed control. Since that date the business has been booming. A further stimulus wob given to the concern by the admission of a Detroit millionaire as a partner. Piano- making was added to tho organ-manufacturing, aud thu establishment waB in- crpnsed, until it now occupies u leading fosltion amonu Canadian undertakings, t turns out about 200 organs and 50 piuuos per month.. These arc produced by 250 hands, who receive in wages ..bout 815,000 per mouth. The whole civili.-ed world is the firm's market, aud they have branches in London and Manchester, England; Hamburg, Germany; Adelaide and Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand: and St, Petersburg, Russia. The instruments on exhibition in the pavilion are fair examples of the Company's workmanship. An upright piano of burr walnut is a splendid instrument. Of square pianos thero are two kinds, a square and a square grand. The former [s intended for standing against the side wall of a room, and Is convenient for comparatively small apartments. The square grand ia finished on all sides, presents a handsome appearance, and is suited for occupying a prominent position In drawing or music room. Tliese two instruments ara of rosewood, with a superfine polish, secured by hand rubbing witli oil for liours, The touch is quick and easy, the tone brilliant mid powerful. In musical quality and appearance they are equal to the best American pianos.' The organs made by the Company are known almost everywhere. They are manufactured in all styles, and at all prlceB, ranging from $50 to $1,000. Many sample organs are shown In the pavilion. The largest, organ which the Company will exhibit, a double-bank pedal, is at present at tho Dominion Exhibition, Montreal, but is expeoted here at the end of the week. It Is arranged to be blown by Turk's water motor, which has been placed in position to await the arrival of the big instrument. The organs run through all grades, from the thousand dollar instrument down to the Good Resolutions for 1885.

A REMARKABLE STORT, (Continued.] "Is this because you—caro so much for Reginald Merridew?" Hester oould not form her lips so ns to say love. Emma made a sort of reflective pause. "I like him well enough," she Baid. "I ara not one to go on nbout love and so forth. Besides, tbat sort of thing is not becoming in a girl liko me. You can't, till you aro quite certain what they moan, don't yuu know 1 It is dreadful to go caring for them, und all chat, nnd then to find out that they don't caro for you. A girl has to wait till thoy speak." Hester listened, not with her usual mixture of amusement and indignation, but with a curious feoliug ofshamo and alarm growing in hor. Waa not this what she herself waa doing ? Emma' desire that her supposed lover should speak and settle the question wns it not much the same thing as her own curi osity and self-questioning in respect tt •Edward? Emma was always more practical. She was so in sentimental matters as well oa- in everything else. Things that uther people loavo indistinct, iu a half light, sho put clearly, without any pretenses at obscurity. Her grioved sense of tho shilly-shallying of mon, hoi- consciousness of all the inconveniences that arose from their way of putting off their explanations, her prudential conviction that a girl should not commit herself by curing for them before they made it apparent that they cared for hor—wore thoso not so many vulgar, straightforward statements of tho dilemma in which Hosier, too, found herself? But this grotesque resemblance of sentiment and situation made Hester, as may be supposed, passionate and indignant, not with Emmn, who wss guiltless, aud who pursued tho subject endlessly, never tiring of it, nor of going over tho matter again and again from tho beginning as they walked, but with Edward, and fate, which had placed her in suclr circumstances. It was something like a caricature of herself that was thus presented to her, and she could scarcely help laughing at it, even while she resented it quite warmly as an insult offered to hor, and by— whom 1 Not Emma, by circumstances und evil fortune, and the spite of a position which was intolerable, and Catheron Vernon. Atl these persons were conspiring against her, but none of them were so hard upon Hester ns this little, purring, deliberate Emma, holding up nor little distorted mirror, thnt Hester, in her own prido, might soe how like was the imago in it to her own face. While these agitations were going on It came to be Christmas,with the usual stir and commotion always produced, in a large family nnd connection", by tliat often troublesome festival. The amount of reality in the rejoicings may be very doubtful, but yet there must bo a family gathering, and tho diffuront branches of the race must seem to take kindly to it, whatever may ho their private sentiments. Dickens did wisely in finding his types of Christmas felicity among people tu whom an accidental turkey ia a benediction from hoavon, and the mystery uf the pudding has not lost its freshness. In such a family na tho Vernons the turkey and the pudding are unsatisfactory symbols—a return to tho rude elements of plenty which were employed hy a moro primi- . tivo age, and though it was au excitement for the Miss Veriion-Ridgeways, and Mr. Mildmay Vernon and- Mrs. John, to bo invited to dinner, it was hy no means invariable that their feast improved the harmony of these much- separated divisions uf tho family. It was a very big dinner, nnd there was no absoluto breach of the peace. Catherine was at the head of the table in a dress which, though very handsome, was by no means one of her best, and without her diamonds in which she appeared on very great occasions. This was kindly intended, iu order that she might not make too evident ihe con-! "ie wme. trust bet wee it her own toilet and some of her visitors, but the kindness of the j intention was uot appreciated. "Wo are not considered worth dressing for," Miss Matilda said, in her sister's ear, alter they had respectfully kissed their relative, and, with effusion, wished a merry Christmas and many happy returns. "She thinks it better taste to be as shabby as we are," said the other, being very true, though no offense was meant. As for Mrs. Juhn, though sho was quite willing to enjoy herself, her mind was kept in a state of nervous anxiety about Hester, whu was in the defiant mood which she always met her cousins with. It was her mother's dosiro to dress her plainly, in one nf the simple dresses made up on the foundation of the "silk slip," which by this time, had been worn out ns a ball- dress. These economies wore very necessary, and, indeed, it might to he said that the ball-dresses could not have heen kept up as they wero but fur thu sacrifice of Mrs. John's Indian shawl, which, after Hester and the pearls, wus the thing in tho world that the poor lady held most dear. Hester had not resisted tho substitution of the simpler dress fur thoso euro fully preserved clouds of tarlatan which were sacred to the dancing teas. But she stood firm to Iho pearls, aud insisted un wearing them, "Unless yeu will put thom on yourself," she remarked. "I wear them, Hester? Oh nol They have beeu in their box all those years, nnd I hnve never put them uu, you know. I kept thom fur you. But don't you think, dear, that, just for a family dinner-no ouo is expected to be fine at a family dinner—'' "Don't you wnnt Catherine Vernon to see them, mother ? If it iB su, lell me at once." "Don't I want Catherino Vernon, to see them 1" cried Mrs. John, stupefied with astonishment. "I wonder," Rhe added, regretfully, "what there is between you that makes yuu Iobb your good sense, Hester—for you aro very ■nlia'Vd* in ninal. Mimas nti'l fnt, t.\t,„..,..,- sensible in most thiiigs.and far cleverer than I ever was—the moment Catherine Vernon's name is mentioned ? I cannot think what it can bo." "Oh mother, yuu aro too good 1 if that is what not being clever means. When I think how you have beeu allowed to stand m the corner of 'that room, and nobody taking any notice .ojyou." "Mv dear," Baid Mrs, John, mildly, "I did not require tu go unless I had liked." "And now this dinner-—u sort of . Christmas dole for her relations—like the flannel petticoats to nll the poor women." "We do not require to go utiles* we like/'said Mra. John; "but if you will reflect n little, Hester, that is not how a lndy should talk." It was seldom that the mild little woman suid so muoh. When Hester cams up to Catherine, following her mother's little figure, clothed in a black Bilk gown which had seen a great deal of service, she saw, with an excitement that made her glow, that Catharine's first glance wob upon the pearls. "Vou are quito fine," Bhe said, ns she went through the formula and dropped a formal kiss upon Hester's reluctant cheek, "you have put oh your lovely pearls, to do us honor." "Sho is fond of 'pearls," said Mrs. John, who was very watchful to pro- vont any collision; "they wero her grandmother's and her great-grandmother's, Catherine. It is not only for their value that one iB fond of things like theso." "Thoir value is sometimes the worst thing* about thom," said Catherine, feoliug that there was a sternness of virtue iu what she said which justified hor disliko. But Mra. John stood her ground. "I don't think so,"she aaid, simply; "I like them to be worth a great deal, for *t hoy are all she will havu." Hester, thus talked over, stood drawing back, in all her flush of youthful indignation, kept down by the necessities uf the occasion. She gave a glauce around at the littlo audience, whu were enjoying the encounter, the Miss Vornou-Kidgeways in the foreground. She caught their keen, inquisitive stare, and the mantling of delight upon their faces ns they witnessed the littlo passage uf anus; and Mr. Vernon Mildmay craning over their shoulders, with his sharp faco projected to suo what it was, und Mrs. Reginald's countenance, half sympathetic, half pro-occupied, for to-day for the firat time her oldest boy hud accompanied her, and she was very anxious lest he ahould do or say anything that might injure hiin with Catherine. But the one thing Hester did not catch was Edward's eyes, which surely, if he hud oared for her, ought now tu have been. raised in kindness. He was outside of the circle, his head turned away, taking nu notice. Wheii Mrs. John fell back to give way to Mrs,Merridew,who came up rustling nnd jiugling with all her bracelets, Edward still keeps apart, He waa talking to Harry, to Algernon, to everybody except the two who, Hester felt, wanted the succor of a chivalrous sympathy. But Mrs. John had uo feeling of this kind. She felt that she had hold their own. She looked with a mild pride upon the gruup of her neighbors, all bo eagerly watching fur mischief. It was natural, when you think of it, that Bhe shuuld treat the ill-nature of the Miss Vernon-Ridge- ways with gentle disdain. Poor things ! They had neither a daughter nor a necklace of pearls ; aud ub she had nut beeu at The* dansantes, nor seen Edward in any aspect but that which he had always burne at tho Grange, Bhe felt no anxiety as to .his present behavior. Harry's was ihe eye which alio sought. She beamed with smiles when he came and stood beside her. Harry was always faithful, whoever might be careless. She looked at him and ut Hester with a little sigh. But who cuuld tell what might happen with patience and time I There was, however, one moment during the evening iu which Edward had thu opportunity of Betting himself right. It was whilo tho departures were going on, while tho ladies wure being shawled and cloaked. Catherino came down btairs, nud, iu the darkness of the further corner uf the hall, under cover uf chatter of Ellen and Emma Ashton, the young man ventured upun a hurried whisper. "Du yuu despise ur detest me must!" he said in Heater's ear. She started—what with the suddon proximity, what with tho unexpected character of the question. "I wonder?" she answered, coldly. Ho took the opportunity of wrapping her cloak round her iui-.sndduii.nl- tnuat tierce grasp. "Yuu could do nothing less; but 1 cannot bo different hore. . Suspicion produces treachery, don't you know ?" he said, will) his face close to her enr. "I cannot be truo here. No, don't Bay anything. I ought, but I cannot. It is in the air. All of us, every uno except you, we are making believe and finding each uther out, yet going on all But it is only for a time," Edward cried, grasping her hands once mure till the pressure was painful, "only for a time!" Next moment he was standing at the door, impassable, saying good-night tu overy oue, paying no more heed to Hester than if she had beun, ns indeed Bhe wus, tho least important of all the __Q*l — WOTIOE.

But Hester got from him the couloBt good-night. The very servants who stood about felt ■. passing wonder that the prettiest person in the company shuuld meet with such scant observation, but explained it by saying to each other that "Mr. Edward, he waa the one ns kep1 hold of tho main chanco." And Hester went home, unary, yet somewhat soothed. It did not make her less indignant, lest wrathful; but it {*avc an excuse which, at least, had to he taken into consideration. Before she got home, indeed, ahe taught herself to lay that offense too to the score of Catherine. Sho went homo packed into tho Hy with her mother and Emma and the Miss Vernon Kidgwuys, all together. Mr. Mild way Vernon was mounted on the box, ana tho old white horse had the nix people, besides his driver, tu drag behind him. He took a great deal of time over tho short bit of road, thinking, probably, that it was as well to tako his time over one fare as to put it in the power of his oppressors to send him out with an* other, or perhaps compel him to kick his heels at the railway station, waiting for tho last train. The ladies wore packed very close inside, hut not too close to talk. Tho sisters immediately plunged into that "criticism of life" which could scarcely be called poetry, in their hands. "What a blessing it is," suid une, "that .we can't be called upun to eat another Christmas dinner with Catherine for another year." "Dear Catherine!" said the other, "alio always means so well. It is our own fault if wo don't carry out her intentions." Indeed," said Mrs. Juhn, "she gave us a very nice dinner, aud everything was very comfortable," "Dear Mrs. John! you are always so charitable,".said Miss Matilda, "as we all ought to be, I am sure.
