The famous Pitcnirn colony now numbers 107 people, of whom 57 aro women. They are happy, contented and religious, using neither tobacco nor liquor. There is no sickness among them, and no death has occurred in two years. McCoy and Young, the leaders of the colony, are now very old, hut can still sing Moody ami Sankey hymns with great vigour. The colonists aro the descendants of the mutineers of the British ship Bounty, whioh in 1788 was sent to Tahiti for bread-fruit trees.—N. Y. Tribune. A New York photographer prints a circular containing the following advice:—"When a lady sitting for her picture would compose her mouth to a serehecharacter she should just before entering the room, say "Bosom," and keep the expression into which Ihe mouth subsides. If, on the other hand, she wishes to assume a distingushed und somewhat noble bearing, she should say "Brush," the result of which is infallible, If she wishes to make her mouth look small, she must say "Flip," but if tho mouth be already too smalt and needs enlarging, she must say "Cabbage." If she wishes to look mournful she must say "Kerchunk," if resigned, she must forcibly ejaculate "S'uat." The manufacture of false teeth for hones bids fair to become a regular industry. A New York veterinary surgeon recently said on the subject: "They bare made wonderful progress within the past year, and they oan do anything now in horses' teeth that they can do in human, I heard of a case' a few days ago when this new invention was tried with perfect success. The horse's teeth were pulled one by one, and in the cavity left open a new tooth was inserted. It was literally cemented in, and although the gums were sore for a week, they finally hardened and now give the animal no trouble. Filling hones' teeth and cleaning them is a common thing now, and in a few yean that practice will be all the rage." "Mamma," said little Bobby," "can't I have another piece of pie)" "No, my dear. You had sufficient," "Bat why can't I have morel" "It might make you sick, and if you become siok and might die." "Die just like Johnny Brown!" "Yes, my dear," "Everybody said he went to Heaven, mamma," "Yes, dear. He was a good little boy and always minded what his mamma told him." "And people said, mamma, that he'd be ever so much happier in Heaven than, here." "That's right, Bobby, So he would." "Do all good little boys go to Heaven, mamma." "Yes, dear." "Am I a good little boy, mammal" "Yes. Bobby is a good little boy." "Then why don't you let me have another piece of pie? Don't you want your little Bobby to be hnppyl"—Pittsburg Dispatch. According to an official report, which has just been issued, the annual cost of the attempt to exter minute the Australian rabbits in Victoria has risen from £1,280 in 1878 to £20,200 last year, while in New Si.nth Wales no less a sum than £360,000 has been expended during the List four yean; and although in some districts they are considerably reduced in numbers, yet there is no general improvement, and it is now suspected that the rabbit destroyers have not been acting honestly, as, although hundreds of thousands have been killed, yet in a few mouths they are as abundant as ever. The New South Wales government now proposes to resorts to the more practical expedient of inclosing 12,000,000 aores of the most thickly infested districts with 2,000 miles of net-wire fencing.—London Truth. The Scientific American gives tho following receipt for curing deerskins sn as to make them durable and pliant like soft leather:—"Wash the skin in warm water and removo all llcsby matter from the inner surface; then clean the wool with soft soup and wash clean. When the skin is perfectly free from all fatty and oily ■natter, apply the following mixture to the flesh side:—Common salt and ground alum J pound each and ' ounce borax. Dissolve the whole in ono quart of hot watenjand sufficiently cool to bear tho hands; add ryo meal to make it into a thick paste, which spread on the flesh side of the skin. Fold it lengthwise, the being quite moist, and let it remain for two weeks in an airy and shady place; then remove the paste from tho surfnoe, wash and dry. When nearly dry, scrape the flesh tide of the skin with a crescent-shaped knife." ' BY TELEGRAPH.

MILXTAltY itlOT.S. LoNixiN, Oot. 17.--The military riots between the King's Rifles and the Irish Rifles of the British garrison at Malta were more serious than was at first reported. The affair was most scandalous, and will be the subject of an inquiry. The number of, tbe injured is not definitely stated, but the reports agree tbat it is large. Tho arrest of the participants in the disgraceful fight continues, and the guilty ones will be harshly dealt with, HOOTINO THE ALORBMEH. London, Oot. 17.-A deputation of unemployed workmen made another visit to the Mansion house to-day to demand work. Tho aldermen whom they saw, referred them to the work houso. This infuriated - the mob who hooted the aldermen vigorously. The police surrounded the crowd while they were marehintr through the eity. Twenty persons have been arrested for participating in the riot. The number of injured cannot yet be correctly stated, but these taken to , the hospital alone aggregate & much greater number than was st Brst supposed. THE LONDON RIOTS. London, Oot. 17.—To-day's riot in Trafalgar square was a ridiculous affair at the best and reflects no credit upon the police, who might have prevented any demonstration approaching to violent disorder. Their action to flay, however, hns done more barm than good, and created a great deal of sympathy with the mob in quarters ordinarily aud for the best of reasons, opposed to the so-called "unemployed workingmen" and their claims. The chief cause of complaint against the police is that they allowed tho mob full license up to the point of rioting, and then, when the crowd acting upon the natural assumption that the police were afraid of them, became noisy and violently demonstrative, began to push and pumraell them into submission. Everybody who had an opportunity to observe the affair from the beginning to the end is of the opinion that the crowd could have been dispersed by the exercise of a little more - firmness on the part uf the police at the outset without the necessity of striking a blow, and agree that the dangerous element, still convinced by the temporizing of the authorities that they are held in fear, will persist in holding meetings, forming processions and making riotous demonstrations unless some decided notion iB taken. Should the trouble continue, drastic measures must be resorted to, and the belief is general that they should be taken at once. The mob is chiefly composed of ex convicts and other dangerous elements that would scarcely be tolerated in America, The really deserving unemployed take no part in the acts of violence, but, of course, come in for their share of the blame, and their sufferings aro consequently very much increased, while their chances of obtaining employment are correspondingly reduced; Trafalgar square is daily and nightly filled with legitimate ob* jocta of charity, and has become one of the principal visiting places of sightseers curious tn observe the extreme depths if misery. Winnipeg Items. Winnipeo, Oct. 15.—About 11:30 lust night a general fire alarm was souuded. A tire hnd bi-nkoii out in the lan/e frame building formerly occupied by Buokle »t Sons, printers, Riboyd, bookbinder, aud several other firms. Iu a few moments tho building was one mass of flames and the firemen bent their energies iu trying to savo thu adjoining buildings, in whioh they Kart'aUy succeeded, A high wind was lowing at rhetimunml the burning ilih:ia -van carried through the air. This rendered the firemen's ttsk a ditlicult ono. Sparks alighted on the building occupied by Jolm A. Tees, commission merchant, fully 300 yards away, and in a few minutes the whole building wns ablaze. The tirtmen woiked hard ami kept the fire confined to Tees' building, O'Loughlin Brbp,, wholesale stationers, close by, hud n narrow escape. By 3 o'clock tlio tire was completely under control and tlu'citizens breathed freer, as at one time it looked as if the whole city was doomed to destruction. Tho heat was so intense thnt several firemen were probtratod und hnd to be carried away. The loss will probably reach 850,000. The buildings wcreinsuredfull value in the Norlh British Commercial Union, Northern, Quebec and Glasgow and London companies. The other insurances were unknown. D. L. Moody, tlio famous Evangelist, hns signified his willingness to visit Winnipeg this fall. Tho local government have agreed to grant aid to extend the Hudson Bay Railroad ten miles to Lako Manitoba this full. . A syndicate of local capitalists, acting iu connection with the city council, has made nn effort to tako up the entire $300,000 of bonds of the Red River Valley Road on certain conditions, one of which is that this amount will secure the completion of the road. Oood lawyers here declare the bonds to bo legal, but whether they are or not, the peoplo have confidence in them. Gomroumratiim*. Mitchelstown. Editor Columbian.—Are you not just a littlo mixed about that Mitchelstown affair? You inform us that "tho officials who precipitated the Mitchelstown riots have been indicted by the grand jury for murder;" and then, after some very sensible remarks about tho danger of appeals to rice prejudices, you exclaim, "but no one looked for the indictment of officers tent to onforco the law against pugnacious tenants." Now, the Mitchelstown affair was not an "eviction" riot at all. A public meeting (not "proclaimed") was in progress, in the open air—a legal, constitutional meeting. 'A government reporter wished tb get to ft#~ platform, and the police undertook to club a passage lor him through the audience! The audience naturally resented this treatment—a riot ensued . —the police took refuge in their barrack—some stones were thrown at the building—and the police shot down three of the rioters. That is the history, in brief, of the Mitchelstown affair; and I certainly cannot see how the conduct of the reporter's escort is to be justified, unless one is prepared to adopt the coercionist theory that a policeman, oh the production of na other warrant than hie dub, must be, allowed to doas he pleases, where and when he pleases. Such a theory may do for Russia, but it willbea"oold day" for freedom when it becomes generally prevalent under the Union ' Jack. . Briton. [We confess to a misapprehension of the exact nature of the Mitchelstown riot. Eviction riots have been so fearfully common of late in Ireland that we inadvertantly associated the deplorable events at Mitchelstown with one of them.—Ed.] .: AyoubEhan.

London, Oot 18.—The .nxiety, not to siiy alarm, of London tndauuo and middleolasses at the miwhievwu attitude and bold threat! of th. din- gorous classes, as winter approaohut is undisguised. The police declare themselves abundantly able to dad with every demonstration that may b. made, but the slowness with whieh, they have acted in previous instance, when depredatory forays have been made by thievish crowds hu natural* ly lessened the confidence ol tndw- rncn and citizens generally in the ability of the guardians of uie peaoe to. prevent such sharp and sudden nidi ou thoir property aa they fear may be made under circumstrances whioh may arise favorable to prowling ganga ever alert to profit by any opportunity that may present itself. Tradesmen haw uot forgotten the plundering of the shops and ahow window, list year, when thousands of pound, worth ol portable, and fragile goods were stolen or destroyed before the' police could check the thieves and ruffians', who seemed to delight in ruining what they could not steal. The poor spiritles. objects who sleep in Trafalgar Square, and who have invaded the park, of late iu such number, that persons at ail fastideous feel like abandoning then resorts altogether, may becume formidable when associated in great numbers and egged on by shrewd thieve., who welt know how to use a orowd of vagrants as a cloak to tlieir dangerous enterprises. The cold weather will soon serve as an excuse for very hug. additions to the already numerous processions of pinched and hungry- looking men, carrying banner, inscribed with demands for work or bread; though their carrier, are rally and decidedly indifferent about either, nnd the shopkeepers' trouble, will begin, in earnest. Many of these have purchased arms for themseves and their employees and the display, if not' uie, nf these weapons will serve to protect their property, for the London mob-1 man has an intense drewl for oold iron aud lead. The estimates of the polioe is that thore aro thirty thousand thieves in London, of whom they credit one thousand to the weaker ses. The male portion of this army of habitual criminals may always be counted upon' to supplement any crowd, thtt may fill the streets to suoh a degree as to render the police temporarily helpless, and they are Jclever enough, to aecur. thuir booty and vanish by the tinie tlio officers begin to club away more innocent obstructors of the highway,1 To the thorough Cockney, the Irish question and Russia', occasional msnaoe. to the Indian government Mn' u nothing to the visible danger, ot a London mob. t ■ »—••—•—' Mrs. O'Hearn, River street, Toronto, uses Dr. Thomas' Eolectrio Oil for hsr cows for Cracked aad Hon Teats;«. thinks there is nothing like It.

IS, 1881. Misrepresenting Again. In his issue of Friday evening our cotemporary of the Vancouver Herald gives us another column on disallowance. Our esteemed cotemporary founds his remarks on the assumption that the Columbian adviscil the people of .Manitoba to call n special session of the legislature, grant another charter for the road and rush the work through to completion beforo the veto power can be exercised. We have frequently had occasion to remonstrate with our salt water cotemporary because of hia habit of twisting things out of shape, and endeavoring to convict peoplo on testimony evolved from his own imagination; but these remonstrances seem to have been fruitless. In the present instance the Columbian gave no such advice as stated by our cotemporary. Indeed, it gave no advice at all, and the Herald has been merely constructing a man of straw. It would be very easy {or us to show the absurdity of our ootemporary's remarks; but in view of his disagreeable fondness for perverting facts and misrepresenting circumstances, wa deem it unwise to enter upon a controversy with him on this question. The "(lampion" Speaks. In his issue of Friday (which, for some unaccountable reason, did not reaoh this city till yesterday) our cotemporary of the Colonist makes some very pointless observations respecting the "champion" resolution passed by the council of this eity. Our cotemporary expresses indignation at the Columbian's vigorous language, but is discreet enough not to deny any of our assertions. An attempt is made to lead the public to suppose that the Columbian's reference to the time-table was suggested by the Colonist's impolitic denunciation; but as a matter of fact both appeared on the same day, and the Columbian was issued long before any Colonist of that date reached ths mainland—a fact which our co- temporary very well knows. Our cotemporary refers to the Columbian's remarks on the timetable as » "futile effort" and a "milk-and- water policy." Have the more vigor- oui (if less politic) remarks of our cotemporary been any less futile! We may submit to our cotemporary the same question we submitted to the council. Which would be more likely to receive favorable consideration from the railway company and result in the adjustment of a grievance, the hostile and illnatured denunciations of the Colonist, or the temperate protest and friendly suggestion ot the Columbian! If we bed wished to be sensational, or to have reoklewly ruptured the amicable relations which have always existed between the railway company and this city, instead of do- siring above all things to guard the interests of those whom the Colonist ■ought to enlist as allies in its unpatriotic attacks upon the railway and steamship line, we should, per haps, have adopted our ootemporary's style. The Colonist concludes by intimating that of the two papers published in this oity "one is so interested in Vancouver and the otter so wrapped up in Fort Moody" that neither of them represents Westminster. In proof of this it asserts that some of our citizens have on hand a scheme for the establishment of a paper here that will stand up for the interests of this city. Our local cotemporary may ■peak for himself, but we deny in uie most unqualified terms that the Columbian is interested in Vancouver or that it has ever, advocated the interests of that oity against those of any other section of the province. Neither the Colonist nor the "citizens" who have taken it into their confidence can furnish proof, either general or specific, to substantiate any suoh insinuation. Indeed, it is not long since this very Colonist was acousing the Columbian of sectionalism and selfishness because we stood up vigorously for the interests of Westminster and tke mainland against the greedy de signs of the journal which our council now certifies to be "champion" of royal city rights! If the proposal of a scheme to establish another paper is proof of the Columbian's failure to guard the interests of this oity, then we shall prove that tho Colonist has conspicuously failed to advocate the interests of the city from which ita support is derived. At one time it was the only newspaper in Victoria; but three others wen brought into existence, two of which still live; so that our cotem- ponury's argument tells against him- •eif with doable force. While the Columbian has endeavored to keep in view the interests of all sections of the province, it has never suffered itaelf to forget that Westmin ■Mr hu the fint claim upon its attention, and we can appeal with oonfldence to our readers to Bay whether it haa punned a course that jtutifie. either the council's resolution or 'he groundless insinuations of: the eonnoil's "champion." aaaBHsHHssssaa . loo's Fruit Salts 80 ots, at Herring's Drug Store. doelltc Perfeot Hair Indicates a natural and healthy condition ol the scalp, und uf tho glands through -which uouriahuicnt is obtained.

It is a character in Til. Dituurior's drama of D'Aubcrge ilus a.li-uts. His accomplice Is Bertram!, a simpleton and villain. To Go tlie Hounds, or To Walk the Hands—In former times in England, the lawyers us.'il frequently to give In- trrrvleiYfl to their clients in tbe Hound i liuruh; md 'walk tlio round' meant loitering about the Round Church, under the hope of being hired for a witness. Stuck-L)i People—Pretentious peoplo; parvaiins; nobo.lies who assume to bo soinobo-lir's. Tlm allusion ts to birds, as the p.-rr ne!; whir'h sticks np its tail; tiie turkey rock, which sti-ks up its (outliers general,y, etc;, to nrld to its 'importance,' and 'awe rlmvii' nntii^oiiists. /■fiilmn-This ivorrl was Introduced into thi- I' i rlisli lilngil ig • in 1807. The editor oi »hr Aiiuiiril liuytyor for that year rh'si'ri bull tlio Imltle of I'ylan, anil tu doing so mentioned a flattish hill, which Tie srii.I 'in Freni-k military phraseology is culled a plateau.' Lest this should be misunderstood he inserted a foot note to state that the word meant a platform. Putting the. Right Foot Forward—One of the additions of Pythagoras was this. 'When stretching forth your teet lo have yonr sandals put on first extend your right foot, but when about to step into a buth let your left foot enter Am. Jaui- bliirluu says the hidden meaning is: 'That worthy actions should be done h artily. but base ones should bo avoided.' jirmoralitc—Our own Dr. Webster seems to have toineri this word. Prof. i.y.ril, an Krig'r-ri luulior in his 'Travels in llie liiiteii Slates, srivs Hint when he w.iHiii'this'coriiM'i' bonified upon Web- Hror, who. iu (Tilly to 'inestions, said be lind 'onlv roiiitr I onp word, Iho verb to ilurtioratut*, mil I nut not for the die- t-oiiary, but for* a pamphlet published in uie last century; d'o"—The .v.r'i to gall is a metaphorical allusion lo the. helplessness of a young bird (aid, yellow, Irom the color of the. down of art unite Igcd bird.) The French use the word ninis, a nestling, lo signify one easily galloJ. Thu Italians use the word pippione, n young pigeon, in the same sense, Vo have borrowed the latter, and use thu woi.1 in the case of a rritlgeoii, one who lias been duped at imrils or any other gamo. To Trumpet 'Ine'i (loud Deeds.—Tbe allusion is to oio of ihe Pharisaic sect mile I Iho aim's-'iver, who bad a tram- p.rt sounded Ire.oru them, ostensibly to Miiiiiiiini the p ior together, but in reality to publish unroll their abnegation and lietievo'.encu. Iu the phrase, "ron sound your trumpet,' the allusion is to heralds, who ita 'tl lo niinoiiiicu with a flourish or truiupcls Ihe knights who entered * ll.it. s> Hummer—Literally one who sits or irl'es about; a loafer; a |ast,-jtecltless nd intemperate person. Tie term originat- e 1 in California a few years ago, ana was llr-st applied to a class of men who pro- lessed to be journalists, aud who obtained, on the strength of their false repre- s 'iitnlionr, free dinners, drinks and other favors, They were styled 'literary bummers.' Tlio term 'bummer' soon had a general application in its reference to the Inning, disreputable men who inlest society. Q in the Comer—Properly 'qneue'ln the Corner.' The queue is the seal affixed lo legal documents in France. They were so-called because ther/ ,weje»i>r- merly attached to a loop or fall (French queue) which depended from the parchment. The seal is now placed in * corner ol the deed itself, but is still called lire queue. The 'Q in the corner' is therefore, the most important part, aa it ratiHea the whole ♦ntents of the documents. Man-of-War—Tlua Is a phrase applied te line-ol-battle ships, contrary to the usual rule in the English language, by which all ships are feminine. It probably arose from the historical fact that 'men of war' were heavy armed soldiere. A ship full of them would be called a 'man- of-war ship.' In process ol time the word 'ship' was discarded as unnecessary, and there remained the phrase 'amen- of-war.' Cod Save tht Mark—Hotspur. In 1 Henry IV.' 1.3, apologising to the king for not sending the prisoners according to command, Bays the messenger waa a 'popinjay' who made him mad with his lu'iiiianly way, and Who talked 'like a waiting gentlewoman of guns, drums, and wounrls (God save the mark!)' meaning that he himself had been in the brant of battle, and it wonld be nd indeed if 'hie mark' was displaced by this ceurt butterfly. The whole scope of the speech is lost eight of by the ordinary interpretation—'May thl soars of my wounds never be effaced.' (Ood save my scars). _, j. _.

Thoy are now tlio Popular Hlillrig.rlnco for ' Small Ilulliible Arllvloj, Since Surveyor Beattie began to appoint women as inspectors of cusAms, more attempts at smuggling have been detected than ever before. Tho women have shown groat zeal and aptitude for the work, and the male inspectors, in order to make as good a record, have been exhibiting more activity than usual. The newest expedient for smuggling is the bustle. The bustle now required by fashion is a capacious structure of wire, and ocean travellers of the gentler sex who desire to escapecustome duties hnvo adopted the expedient of tilling their bustles witii merchandise. .Deputy-Collector McClelland said recently tlmt bustles were becoming the burden of his lifo. It Beemcd as if every third woman arrived from Europe had her bustle rilled with dutiable goods, and be was nearly distracted. There was a large number of seizures reported recontly. It seems that nearly every woman who goes to Kuropo brings back a meerschaum pipe for somo mule friend. In the bustle of Fneulein Charlotte Weinmann,. a passenger on tho steamer Trave, Inspectress Wcstoner discovered two meerschaum pipe bowls. Inspectress Lily K. Bricback found in the bustle of Mrs. S. H. Harbrldge, u pass.'ii- geronthe steamer City of Chester-, two meerschaum pipes and 'one cherry-wood pipe. On Fneulein Wclnmann's person and in her baggago were also found thirty yarda of Bilk, thirteen yards of velvet, fifty yards of linen, three Bilk shawls and many other articles of value. Some of the stuff was concealed in her bustle. Around Mrs. Harbridgo's waist wero found two pieces of cashmere, and another piece was found sewed in the lining of her skirt. In tho bustles and on the persons of the Misses Evans, who arrived on the Khineland from Antwerp, wore found silks and velvets. J. Bierman, who arrived Friday on the steamer Trave, declared tbat he had no dutiable goods. He was met on tbe dock by a friend, who approached Inspector O. Scherman and told him if he would pass Bierman's trunks that gentleman would make it all right with him il be would call at his ofllce, corner of Broadway and Houston street. Tho inspector examined Bierman's trunks, whicli were found to contain the following dutiable articles: Seven books, 2 boxes of medicine, 12 linen sheets, il cases draughtsmen's instruments, 0 tablecloths, 1 needle case, 86 linen napkins, 12 towels, 1 pocket- book, 72 linen handkerchiefs, G fancy handkerchief boxes, 7 boxes toys, 1 card case, 1 looking glass, 70 pioces ribbon, 15 dolls and 12 umbrellas. They wero seised. Inspectress M. S. Wilson also made n seizure (rom a passenger on the Trave. On examining the trunk of a Miss Wagner, sire discovered a false bottom, whicli sho removed, and below it found the following articles: Three yards cotton velvet, threo pieces tr! silk containing IS) 17J and (21 yards respectively, 1 gold bracelet. Miss Wilson then took tlie lady _ a private room and searched her and found 8 yards of woolen dress goods concealed on ber person. iV. K World. Hww a Chicago Man Got Into Parliament. I was in London on the day that the Gladstone Ministry resigned, a year or two ago, and I had some odd experiences. I wanted very much to be present at the session of the House of Commons, because everyone believed there would be extraordinary excitement. I went to Mr. Wnllor, the American Consul, and secured n letter to Mr. O'Connor, the Consul, however, assuring me that the chances wero agaiust me. Me thought that il I could get the letter into Mr. O'Connor's hands I would succeed, but he did not believe that I could get the letter to Mr. O'Connor. I wont to the Parliament house to find a great crowd of prominent and distinguished people endeavoring to gain admission. Tlie dillienlty, I soon discovered, wus to have the three Or four lines of policemen give miy attention to the letters carried by persons who presented them. I noticed, however, that messengers and telegraph hoys went through the lines without being questioned or detained.

I buttoned my coat, put my hat on the back of my head, ran around until I got into a fiinie then taking O'Connor's letter in my hand made a dash for the door.

He hustled me along to the next line and the next man bustled me to the next, and I went through the door, pushed forward by the man who stood on guard. Once Inside I asked lor Mr. O'Connor, presented my letter, explained how I got in, ud he, laughing pleasantly over the incident, gavo men good sent, and I beard the "famous debate to great advantage. I was one of tho few Am ririins who gained admission that day lo the House. —Itilcr. Omul. Try Tour Acutenes* on This.

Both ladies have remarkably sweet voices, thoy sing pleasantly and with ease and are remarkably free from af* fectation. John Caasidy us an English dude and step dancer was very good, especially in tho latter in which he might be said to excel.

Wook boforo last some person, dur- tho night, entered tho residence of Mr. T. R. Pearson, ou Royal Avenue. Entrance was effected by breaking a pane of glass iu tho kitchen window. The housebreaker seems to have gono all through tho houso, which was unoccupied at tho time, but the object of his visit remains a profound mystery. Nothing was taken away except an old felt hat. The burglar wont into the bedrooms upstairs, but made no search for valuables, as the drawers and dres- sing stands wero undisturbed. He turned down the clothes of ono bed, Bat down on the sheet, and afterwards got into tho bed with his boots on. He must have been sitting in the gutter before entering the house, judging from thb marks he left. The bed clothes of the other bed were undisturbed, but on this also he left the marks of dirty boots and trousers. A small centre table in the parlor was upset, apparently by accident, and a eard-receiver which stood thereon was broken. This is the only damage dono. Tujo dresses belonging to Mrs. Pearson had beon carried from the bedroom upstairs and left on tho parlor sofa. Every person acquainted with the circumstances is completely Wholesale €lty Market.

It gives The freight returns for the woek ending Oct. 14th are of a very satisfactory nature, Bhowing as they do an increase ovor the previous week of 718,350 lbs. in the amount of freight handled, and an increase of $4,906.90 in the receipts during the same time. Amount of freight forwarded, 823,010 lbs.; charges ou same, 86,031.31. Amountof freight rcctived,859,2901bs.; charges on seme, $8,828.51. Total number of pounds handled during tho week, 1,082,300 lbs.; charges on same, $14,459.82. Receipts from sale of tickets, $526.40. As will be seen by the above tigures the amount, of merchandise and other freight handled is enormous, considering the conveniences and the numbor employed on the staff of tile freight department here. At present the shed room for receiving freight is far too limited and the means for handling it are not as perfect as they should bo. The management at thia station certainly deserves thu highjost credit for the systematic manner and business like stylo in which tlio affairs of the freight department are conducted, notwithstanding the mnny drawbacks and inconveniences. _ Ordered Ashore. gens, comets all irregularities, and ex pels Imparities from the system.

N.Co. and has suffered an, Indignity at the hands of one of the company's officers. Yesterday afternoon Mayor McLean, along with soveral of the oity aldermen and a number of prominent citizens went down tp the C.P.R. wharf to visit the steamer Premier and extend t welcome to it in the name ofthe oity of Vancouver. Un the way to the wharf a message was delivered to the mayor, .aid to have been sent by Oapt. Irving, stating that he wss not wanted on board' until certain remarks made by him (the mayor) were explained. His worship, however, decided to make tho intended visit, probably not sun- posing the message wat really in earnest. Soon after the party got on board, Monroe, the mate, went up to Mayor McLean and ordered him and his I friends ashore, at the ssine time using language totally unocoasriry for the occasion. As this proceeding wss confirmatory of the message he had re- ceived,the mayor and his friends withdrew from the steamer. This manner of paying off an old score is scarcely to be commended even supposing Mayor McLean did use the language he is accused of concerning the company's stesmer Princess Louise. The insult wss direct, and as Mayor McLean went aboard to welcome the steamer in tbe name of the city of Vancouver, and in sn doing representing every citizen within the limits, the people of the terminal oity will likely take tlie insult ts if intended to be general. • . . ..— Mr, It.
