IBM. PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE. On Tuesday Mr. Orr presented a petition asking for the repeal or amendment of the Sumns dyking net. On motion of Mr. McTavish a memorial was ordered to be forwarded to the Dominion government asking for uniform telegraph rate** throughout Canada, irrespective of distance; also, a resolution expressing the opinion tliat a museum should he established in the province. Mr. Beaven moved that an order of the house be granted for a return showing all correspondence and public business transactions between tho government of British Columbia or any of its members, or anyone acting in their behalf, and James Cunningham, Esq.„M. P. P., since he was elected a member of this assembly, with'a list of goods supplied by him, work done, eon- tracts made, prices paid, or to be paid, for tlie same; also a statement of any contracts with tlie govern* ment to which said James Cunningham became a bondsman. The mover thought that a casual glance nt tho public accounts would show the name of that gentleman appearing very frequently, such ns iu relation to the keep of prisoners, new gaol, erection of public buildings, roads, .streets and bridges, etc., and it would interest the electors of New Westminster to know exactly how much thnt gentleman had drawn from the public treasury. The honorable member (Mr. Cunningham) had said thut the present was tho hest government ever formed in British Columbia. How he nrrived at thnt conclusion was nt present a matter of conjecture, though the returns asked for would no doubt assist tlie house and the public in perceiving the means by wliich thut conclusion had boen arrived at.—Mr. Ounningh'am said the motion was a very personal matter witli him; nnd he was suro the governmont would furnish the honorable gentleman The British Columbian. got §nk et lo Sent. VOLUME 29 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1886. NUMBER IG nuts dyking lands, Hnd it wub desir- ablo to ascertain in which government wai vested the ownership of them.—After some remarks from Mr. Grant, Hon. Mr. Smithe said he had tho utmost confidence that in the end everything contained in the agreement would be carried out in good faith by the Dominion. Xt was only the question of time which was the cause of complaint on the part of tho provincial government. Mr. Cunningham spoke of the hardship experienced by settlers on the mainland lands. They were un- happy in their uncertainty—a feeling which it was in the power of the Dominion government to dissipate. Tho present state of things was an injury to the settlers and to the districts concerned. He was. in1 favor of the resolution and thought the government could be fairly nsked to aot in good faith.—During the debate a question, arose as to whether the federal government could claim the whole of the land within the 20 mile belt, or only alternate blocks, and the motion wns laid over until this point could be definitely settled. Ou motion of Mr. Allen, a select committee was appointed to enquire into the management and working of the Olinton school. He said the school had been carried on In defiance of the law. On motion of Mr. Moleese, a resolution woo passed asking the Dominion govemment to extend the postal service between Alkali Lake to Soda Oreek, by way of Chimney Creek and Williams Lake valleys. On motion of Hon. Mr. Robson, the federal governmont was requested to enforce the contagious diseases act in this province so as to prevent the importation of diseased cattle at Chilliwhack and elsewhere. Mr. Beaven gave notice of a motion for returns relating to pipe supplied to the New Westminster gaol. In reply to various questions, the following statements were made: This province will be represented at the Loudon exhibition by the agent general. No decision has been reached respecting the dispute between the federal and provincial governments over the minerals in thc railway belt. The cost of the 'Metlakahtla Commission was $2,- 137, which the Dominion had been asked to pay. Tlio government has granted no extension of the Hastings Sawmill lease, but it has agreed to extend the lease of that part of tho property granted to the C. P. R.

He was in trade as a means of living and wns still compelled to follow it, even ns the honorablo mover had been, but who Imd since had an opportunity of becoming rich, for he had been chief commissioner in his time. He did not assert that he (Mr. Heaven) had done nnything improper, but current report said be had taken advantage of his opportunities. The dealings he (the speaker) had bad with the government had been en tirely of a business nature; he had given them the worth of their money, and he challenged anyone to prove the contrary. He regretted to have to speak of himself so much, but was prepared to stand by all he had done. Failing to make auy points against the government, the mover of the resolution now attacked tho supporters of that government, tif the leader of the opposition could effect anything by this course, the honorable gentleman was perfectly welcome to do so.—Mr. Beaven said the last speaker had said he would not shirk the consequences of what he had done. The honorable gentleman would uot bo able to help himself. If he was not the same James Cunningham whose namo appeared so frequently in tho accounts he, the mover, would bo very glad to know it; but if, ns he suspected, he were the same, nll ho could say was thnt the honorable gentleman had been guilty of that which wns entirely unconstitutional. Personally, he regretted to hiue to take the step he was doing, for it was the first timo in his political career he had felt constrained to do so. With regard to the insinuation of his abuse of ofllce, he would ask the honorablo gentleman whose friends were in power to search the records and accompany the imputation by proof, Hon, Mr. Kobson moved his resolution relating to lands in the railway belt (the resolution was published some time ago in this journal), and in speaking to the motion he suid the government had dono everything it could towards the encour- ngomont of settlers. Nothing had retarded settlement so much as tlm delay on the part of the Dominion in regard lo tho opening up of the railway lnnds of the province. Large numbers of settlers who had gone upon the lands in good faith under a rather uncertain circular issued by the Dominion agent in this province, were hampered in the improvement of their pre-emptions hy tho uncertainty existing with regard to final acquirement of the lands. He hoped tho house would show its do- sire to strengthen the hands of tbe government in their representations to the Ottawa houso.—Mr. Orr waB thoroughly in accord with the last speaker. He would add, howover, that there wero other lands beside .actual railway lands which were in the sume position, notably the 8u- Clilncse KallroiuR Nuw Yokk, Feb. 1.—The Commerced Jiutletin says; On the highest authority it is stated that no contracts for building railroads in China have as yet been placed, and (hough it is expected America will have aa good a chance as others iu competing for the business, political and other considerations may, it is argued, give the work of construction into English hands. H. N. Twombly of the China and Japan TradingCempany said: "I think the prospects for constructing railroads in China are good. I am sure that neither English, American, German nor other syndicate, can be allowed to control or own the railroads there. AU we can do is to get a business contract for building, and I do not see that American enterprise should be ignored in this respect, though, of course, there are many considerations whioh mitilate against us." A. M. Towns, agent of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Association said: "There will be some rivalry for the construction of the proposed railroad in China. Thia is only natural. America may, of course, obtain contracts, but there are many influences at work whisk we do not always know of; still, I do not see why contractors of this country should not be able to offer such terms as will enable them successfully to compete with England or Germany or any other nation. In my judgment the Chinese government will prohibit any foreigners from owning the roads when oompleted." The principal of a firm, having extensive relations with China, expressed his belief that the troubles in connection with the Chinese question in this country will prove a stumbling-block in commerce or tu any proposition tho Americans might desire to advance. He believed railroads would be constructed there within a reasonable period. In hii judgment England would get the contract. It might be that Germany and America would be ablo to obtain a portion of the contract work, but it would be relatively small. pOKBOl LD, Mc' OU, A ATklVHOV, BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, ETC.

Of course the outrages committed on the Chinese ure generally condemned, us they ought to he, hut public opinion on tlie Chinese question is undergoing considerable modification. Then- uro u great many eastern journals now that regard it, not as it 1ms been regarded, as a question quite apart from politics, and one seriously affecting the interests of the people. We believe the time is not far off when public opinion will demand thc exclusion of Chinese from all the leading industries of tho country, and when that comes the coun- trv will bo very much better off. Thc American Ornithologists' Union has issued a circular concerning the destruction of birds. It appeals to all who are concerned in the beautiful to give their aid for the protection of the beautiful songsters which enliven and beautify tlie forests and the fields. We believe there is no law in British Columbia for the protection of birds, und we shall be glad if some member of the legislature will introduce such a measure. The Ornithologists' Union suggests the formation of a society for the protection of birds, the perfection of laws relating thereto, the prevention of nest robbing for any purpose, etc, Mr. Jno. Fannin, of Hastings, Burrard Inlet, is agent for the union in this province, and will be glad to co-operate in any movement looking to the furthur- ance of these excellent objects. A good deal of interest has been taken in the recent sweeping reductions in transcontinental freights. The Transcontinental Railway Association, whieh has hitherto been regulating these freights, has broken up. Thc monopoly having bursted, different lines have adopted competing rates, and the tariff is re- . duced by sums equal to one-third or one-half. One of the immediate effects of this reduction will be a largo increase in the number of people who will come across the continent to this coast, and British Columbia will undoubtedly receive a share of this influx. There aro thousands of peoplo in the east who intend leaving for this province as soon as the C. E. U. has been completed, but the cheap fares over American lines may induce them to come before the opening of our own line. ^^ Political Uegeneracy. Tt is much to be regretted that party politics in this province are being forped altogether out of the region of intelligent and honest discission, Iu past years this hus not been conspicuously characteristic of Uritish Columbia. Indeed, people from some of the eastern provinces, where pnrty lines are clearly de- lined aud misrepresentation docs uot hinder the schemes of machine politicians, have expressed pleasure at the absence from us of that bitter partisanship with whicli they had become disgusted. But it is to be feared we shall not long be able to claim distinction in this respect. Hitherto the Guardian has enjoyed the unenviable notoriety of being the most rabid and unscrupulous party organ in Uritish Columbia but now this distinction undoubtedly belongs to the Victoria Times, The Guardian is not less vindictive than it has been, but its impelling motive is so evidently personal hatred against the provincial secretary, who once stood in the way of its business interests, that people have become accustomed to regard its political utterances as the expression of personal animosity and not public opinion. But the Times lias so fur surpassed the New Westminster organ in the amount and the vigor of its party editorials that the ancient oracle has became insipid by comparison. There is nothing necessarily objectionable in criticism, if it be fair and honest; but the Victoria Times lias long since suffered itself to be carried away into a region so remote from fair criticism that one cannot discern even the shadow of honesty. It distorts every aot of tho house and every motion of the government into an evidence of unmistakable corruption, and charges with dishonesty every member who does not seem to think or votd in accordance with its vision, -tliis attempt ou the part of our Victoria cotetnpur ary is to be regretted because of its demoralizing effect both on the organ Itself and on those who may be inflninotd by it There can bt no excuse or justification for it, ami we venture to predict thut the Times will discover its mistake when people have had the opportunity of learning how utterly groundless most of its charges have been. International Animosities. From the telegraphic despatches it appears that the end of the Chinese riots across the sound may be more serious than the rioters anticipated. There can be no doubt that these unjust and unlawful assaults upon Chinamen are of sufficient importance to enlist tho action of the Chinese authorities. It is not expeoted that international war will grow out of them; but retaliatory tneasuros may be adopted, and, in case of a demand from the United States, satisfaction would probably be firmly refused. It is a poor rule tliat does not work botli ways. If American citizens can assault Chinamen iu tho United States and escape punishment, Chinamen may also hope to assault Americans in China with the same impunity. It is not likely that the Chinese government has even a very wholesome dread of the American navy, for it knows well enough that there is no American navy for winch dread need bo entertained by a nation possessing even the imperfect armaments of China. It may be true that the United States could force China into the payment of indemnity if she chose in earnest to undertake the task; but the enterprise would undoubtedly prove both large nnd costly. The Chinese riots will be productive of good and ill. They will probably cause a groat and gratifying exodus of Chinese from the Pacific states and territories, and prevent thousands of Chiamen from seeking these regions as a field for future operations. These two results will exercise a most beneficial influence upon the development of the country, and open the way for thousands of whito men who will take the places of thc exported Celestials. But it is altogether probable that the United States will be forced to pay an indemnity to China, or be prepared to see her own citizens in China suffer far greater indignities and losses than were inflicted in the late riots. Then, tlie trado between America and China will be disturbed. That trade now amounts to over twenty millions per annum, and any disturbance of it would bring about a serious loss to American merchants and shippers. It may be expected that the opening of the C. V. R., and the contrast between the treatment accorded to Chinamen in Canada antl the United States, will divert the Asiatic trade over this lino. "When the C. P. 31. steamships begin plying between Burrard Inlet and China, we may look for both increased trade and increased immigration from that direction. The trade we shall welcome, but the immigration must be deplored. Indeed we aro not sure that the interests of the province would not be safer without the trade than with it and the obnoxious people whom it will surely draw from the Chinese empire. It may become necessary for the people of British Columbia to consider these matters carefully, and to devise some scheme which will protect them from being overrun by this most undesirable race. We are firmly opposed to the methods employed over the sound, but there are, perhaps, others that may be unobjectionable.

About 5 o'clock on Saturday morniug Bhe was towed on to a reef off East Point, Saturna Island, thirty -miles from Victoria. It was near high water ut the time. The vessel was running through the water at the rato of five knots per hour when she struck, and soon afterwards commenced to make water. The Tacoma rnn into Che mainus and telegraphed to Port Town- send and to this citv for assistance.

Tho prinoipal owners of the vessel were Sewell & Co., of the State of Maine, who lost the famous Thrasher on this part of the coast a few years ngo. The gentleman in Sau Francisco from whom she takes her name has also a small interest iu the vessel, and to the extent of his interest only is she said to be insured. The cargo, in thc ordinary course of business, is doubtless insured.. Considering the tonnage of the vessel, and the value of the coal at 115,000, the loss is a very large one.— Standa.-d of Monday, City Council. — Council met on Monday night. Members all present.

The chair whs occupied by Mrs. Thain, of Moodyville, vice-president of thu bnciely. The programme eonsiited of 5 choruses, a duet and chorus by Miss Kirkland nud Miss Cndwaliiidttr- an organ solo by Miss Kirkland, an inatrumonlnl duet by Messrs. Arthur and Chorlos Sullivan, 2 recitations, 1 rending, 3 dialogues, a tableaux, and addresses by the president and Rev, Jos. Hall. The president's address, read by Mrs. Thain, was as fiillows: Bra it Frihxiih.—We rejoice to meet vou iii this our first mass meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Burrnrd Inlet. It will not be inappropriate on this occasion to make brief reference to the history, aud progress of the ({rent organ Ir-atiou we have the honor to represent, That wonderful movement of World-wide celebrity known as the Woman's Crusade, which began in Hills- boro, Ohio, In llftl, constitutes Ibe epoch from which our organization dates its inception. That movement lasted about six months and spread over a vast territory. Its immediate result wns the closing of saloons in two hundred and fifty towns and villages. Mrs. E. J. Thompson, of Hillsboro, daughter of Governor Trimble of Ohio, and wife of Judge Thompson, a leading lawyer, was the chosen leader of the first crusade hand. It was at once seen by the leaders of temperance reform that the great lesson of the crusade movement consisted in the view it afforded.of the partthatChristian women were destined, in the providence of God, to take in the accomplishment of the holy work of saving thc drunkard and banishing intemperance from the lnnd. Accordingly the Woman's National Temperance Union wns organized la Cleveland, Ohio, in November, 1874. In the United States alone there arc 3000 auxiliaries, and the good work continues to spread with wonderful rapidity, so that, in the opinion of John B. Cough, it is now accomplishing more than any agency in the furtherance of the great work to which that world renowned orator has devoted the greater part of his life. Through tho new interest enlisted in the good cause in British Columbia by tho able advocacy of bucIi talented lecturers as Miss Willard, Mrs. Foster, Miss Moore, and most recently Miss White, unions have been formed in all the important centres of population and Influence in our province, among them our own organization the Burrard Inlet W.C.T.U. in the uiftumn of 1884. The following are our elected officers: President, Airs. Hall; vice-presidents, (from the different churches represented on the Inlet). Mrs. Thain, Mrs. Trimble, and Miss Bell; recording sec, Mrs. Corduier; corresponding sec, Miss Kirkland; Trees., Mrs. Mel'liaiden; supt. of ecclesiastical -work, Mrs, Sullivan. The history of the organization as well as the principle it proclaims will show that its purpose is to unite in one grand army nil Ciinltian women, without distinction of creed or denomination, for aggressive effort in this holy war, until the demon of strong drink shall uo more curse our earth; and we now trust the day ia not is not far distant when we shall have tho assistance ef all women of Burrard Inlet, especially mothers, for whose influence will remain like that of a mother's when families separate, and the young man fa at large in the world, left to his own will for weal or woe! Then let us be proud of tho noble motto of our order, "For God, and Home, and Native Land." The six virtues," representing Prudence, Charity, Temperance, Modesty, Humility, and Patience, iu which Misses Hunt, Patterson, Kirkland, N. Bell, Cadwalluder, and Currie personified the virtues, wns well rendered and inculcated some very useful maxima. Mr. Thos. Beckett and Miss N. Bell as Mr. and Mrs. Tipple showed how domestic felicity mny be marred by tho cup that inebriates, but that reformation and tho signing of the pledge restores harmony around the family hearth. ''The first gloss" was the history of a ycung man who seems to have inherited a taste fur strong drink from hia father, who filled a drunkard's grave, and whose untimely and disgraceful taking off so touched hia mother's heart that for consolation she flew to a black bottle and was soon quietly resting by her husband's side in the potter's field. This young man, warned by the fate of his parents, was a total abstainer, but unfortunately for him he didn't "swear off1 nor join the Blue Ribbon, and the result jvas that when the tempting fiend approached him iu the shape of his affiance he took his first glass from her hands on her birthday, and when he noxt appears upon the stage he has touched the lowest depths of drunkenness and dissipation, robbing his poor sister of some spare cash she had hoarded up for a rainy day, in order to indulge in the demoralizing game of draw poker. It may be interesting, however, to those who hnvo tender hearts and sympathize with this unfortunate young man's sudden fall, to learn that he reformed ns rupildy ns he fell and is now a thriving family ■nun, having married the lady of his * early love when his soul was pure and unsullied, and ia at present occupying the dignified position of president of u temperance society. The piece de resistance of the evening was a tableaux entitled the "Angel of temperance," in which Miss Cad* wallader and Miss Kirkland were the performers. Miss Kirkland was the angel visiting a wretched woman in a dark garret, the only furniture being a bottle of whiskey and a glass, the latter of whioh the wretch was in the act of placing to her lips when an intense violet light illuminated the darkness, and behold the angel of temperance stood before her with threatening mien and outstretched arm, freezing her marrow and paralyzing her with fear. The hand which held the glass remained fixed and when we see her again after the scene shifts she is woeping in the arms of the celestial messenger. Misa Kirkland plays the part of an angel very well as they appear in tableaux, and if sho continues fho good work of binding up broken hearts and bringing consolation to those suffering in the bondage of intemperance she will act the part of an angel indeed. Rev, Mr. Hall made a few remarks un tho temperance question which were practical and to the point. The collection amounted to $20, which will go for expenses. Many thanks are due to Mrs. Ridley fur the able assistance she rendered those who took part in the pieces on the programme. Kailway Competition. Such serious com plications have lute* ly arisen regarding the tr-inscoiiti- nontal business between Atlantic seaboard points and Pacific coast points that all hopes of effecting a reorganization of tho Transcontinental Association in Now Vork nro being abandoned. It Jb stated upon good authority that tho Canadian pacific, which is about completed through to the Pucitic coast at Port Moody, hus decided to compete for tho California business from eastern seaboard points. It has informed tho Southern Pacific Cum pany that it will join the Transcontinental Association on condition that it is awarded fifty per cent, of all the Pacific cuast busineu!-. This exorbitant demand has spread dismay in the ranks of the other transcontinental roads, and t-spccinlly the Southern Pacific, which for some timo past bus been taking the bulk of the businosB by its Now Orleans route (Sunset Line). The Southern Pacific perceives that the Canadian Pacilic is iu n position to compote fur the business in an effectual manner. The Canadian Pacific claims that the distance by its line to San Francisco is no greater than by the Southern Pacific Sunset route. The latter's water route from Nuw York to Now Orleans, it claims, is more than twice as great us tho Canadian Pacific's water route from Port Muody to San Francisco. The general oflicers of the Southern Pacific, as soon ns they loarnod of the intention of the Canadian Pacific, loft for tho east to consult with President Stanford nnd Vice-1'resident Huntington in regard to the matter. It is learned that it is the intention of the Southern Pacific to meet the new competition by the Canadian Pacific by changing ita Sunset routo. Instead of taking business by steamers from New York to New Orleans or Galveston, it is to be taken by steamers to Newport News, Ya.„ where connection is made with the Chesapeke & Ohio (which is controlled by Mr. Huntington). Thia road has a through line from Newport News to Baton Rouge, La, except a link of less than 100 miles between Lexington aud Louisville At Baton Rouge it connects with the Southern Pacific toad. Jt has an arrangement for using thu Louisville and Nashvillo link, but contemplates building a short cut from Lexington to n connect km with its southern line. By this means it saves (juite a distunes, by avoiding Louisville and by connecting at Bntuu Rougo instead of New Orleans,-it nlso saves a distance of over 150 miles. By opening this route the Southern Pacific will not only be able to shorten its present lino to Pacific const points over 200 miles, but it will also shorten its wnter route from throe to four days to twenty-four hours, und this, it thinks, will pluce it tn a position to defy, not only the Canadian Pacific, but evory other transcontinental route. The Northern Pacific will also be seriously affected by the Canadian Pacific competition. By the breaking up of the Transcontinental Association it will lose the subsidy it now receives fur staying out of the California traffic, and it will hardly be able to compete against the Southern Pacific und Canadian Pacific for California business, as the former road has its own line through from New York and thu latter from Montreal, wlfile the Northern Pacific hns to divide rates with a number of lines Between St. Paul and New York. Besides this, tho Canadian Pacifio will prove a powerful competitor of the Northern Paoifio for Oregon and Washington Territory businssH.—Chicago Tribune. movement for the relief of unemployed workingmen, stimulated by the success in London, is spreading to the provincial towns.

The dense fog gave some reason to apprehend attempts at robbery, but the panic was almost idiotic. All the shops were shut, and many were barricaded with plank. The police were going about in fours, whole platoons of them wero marching and countermarching all day: hussars were galloping between the different barracks where companies of troops wero kept under armB. In Scotland Yard, the headqunrters of the metropolitan police, 2000 constables were in reserve with horsed vnns ready to convey them to any point. All the Btreet lumps wore lighted. Gangs of young ruffians were rushing about, shouting and grently enjoying tho fun. This state of thing was almost entirely due to the action of the polico. Public opinion denounced them so strongly for their utter inaptitude on Monday that thoy were compelled to mnke a show to save thoir credit, and so thoy went about everywhere at mid-day ask iny the shopkeepers to closo instantly.

The colored man whoso tongue wus removed for the curo of a cancer, as described in the Tribune recently, has been discharged from tbe New York Hospital. Ho was taken to the College of Physicians and Surgeons by the surgeon who performed the operation and shown to the students as an interesting example of the progress of surgical Bcience, Only a few yenrs ago the removal of the tongue was regarded as necessarily fatal. Hut now, by means of the most scrupulous precautions—every instrument being kept scrupulously clean und being dipped in carbolic acid immediately beforo using —even Buch operations as thia nre performed with only rarely an unfortunate result. But in surgery eternal vigilance is the price of success. The wound in the colored nmn's mouth hns hoaled up without a single unpleasant symptom. In order not to disturb the antiseptic dressings in the mouth, the patient was nourished for the first forty-eight hours by injections of peptone and other highly concentrated forms of food; and respiration was curried on through an artificial opening iu the windpipe. Later, milk, simp, and beef tea were administered by means of a flexible tube introduced through the mouth into the stomach. The metal tube, inserted in an artificial opening In the windpipe near the Adam's apple, through which the patient bud been breathing, was removed and the man was once more allowed to breathe through the mouth and noso. Tiie opening in the neck promptly closed up, and now the scar is hardly noticeable. When the man's mouth is closed no one would suspect that the tongue had been taken uut, but of course tbe inside of the mouth looks strange. The tongue is entirely wanting, and the opening at the back of the mouth Ib much larger than in the normal condition. The patient, it seems, did not understand that the whole tongue was to be tuken out. The surgeon hnd told him that the cancer, which was giving him greut pain und would soon cause his death, oould be removed without much risk. The mnn had consented to this, but when he found that it hud been necessary to remove tbo entire tongue he was n tritlc indignant. The next time he saw the surgeon be pointed to his mouth, and suid: "Tongue out.'Jt The surgeon admitted it, but explained that it was necessary in order to save tho patient's life. The next question was, "How can talk ?" The response to this was that after he got used to it he would be able to talk fairly; that u good many people hud had their tongues taken out, and they had all been able to talk well enough to make themselves understood. The man can pronounce everything protty distinctly except th, st, and other sounds produced by pressing the tongue agamst the roof of the mouth. To show how woll hu could talk lie told the students whore lie lived and how old he was. He can talk well enough for conversational purposes. The only unpleasant feaature of operations of this kind is the fact that even when successful they do not effect a permanent cure.—New York Tribune. Toronto Exhibition. THE DOMINION PIANO & ORGAN CO. Speaking of the great central exhibition opened at Toronto on the 10th Sept., the Toronto Globe says: An object of special attention, which by very reason of its promineuce on the grounds cannot escape the attention of the most casuul and careless observer, is thc pavilion of the Dominion Organ Company. This is a separate building but a little distance from tlie south east of the Main Building. This pavilion must be about IiO feet by 40 feet, with a porch or railed passageway all around it extra. It is handsomely painted, with ample and almost entire glasa section, comprising fully one-third of its height in windows, and announces to all in broad letters that ifc is the pavilion of that company, and that Joseph Ruse, of 08 King-street West, represents the company. Inside no pains hnve been spared to make it attractive, and certainly its designs have succeeded, No one should viait the Exhibition without going through this pavilion, there he will find a little paradise of music. Here are decorations, handsome pictures'of the Dominion factory und of the present store room of Mr. Kline, and ahove all, pianos uud organs of the most artistic and unique designs. The display of these instruments is grand indeed, and a splendid tribute to the genius und skill of our Canadian manufacturers.

A double manual and pedal bass organ, with handsome pipe top, faces the visitor at the extreme end as lie enters this pavilion. For company are organs of every style and design to suit the purchuBer. The Company also exhibit with the degree of triumph and merit the fact js worthy of a cable despatch to them from Antwerp, Germany, announcing that at a Grand National Exhibition held there the Company had just carried off tlie first prise over all competitors for its instruments. This is certainly remarkable, though when the rapid rise of this Company to public favor and confidence is considered, not so remarkable us at first might seem. The Company's success in honors, liome and international, is something remarkable, The exhibit ou tho grounds is certainly attractive und will amply repay a personal inspection and visit.

He said that this Compnny (the Dominion Organ and Piano Company} hud not ouly taken the highest award there, tho very highest the judges could possibly confer over all other competitors, from England, France, and Germany, tbe very centres of cultivated classic music, countries justly celebrated for their skill and acquirements iu musical knowledge, but these judges, who comprised some of their ablest und best musicians, had declared further that the instruments of this company were superior to any they had ever seen, heard, or examined. With such a compliment from such a source, in addition to their success at this Exhibition, the Company ought to feel content. [T. R.

For man ie alone meant insanity or suicide; two men to bo together means bide; pure woman alone can keep 'sty moving, healthful, progressive, within orderly bounds, he prevailing form of civil socioty i Adam to the Hood was probably lumbal, as it is among the Bedouin bs ot the present day. The first undoubtedly kopt bis children other descendants about him us ! as possible, and exercised paternal lority over them. As families hi- sed tribes were formed; these es formed nations, hb iu the caso of Jews and ancient Britons. Tho ily, the tribe, and the nation wero gned and taujjht by Elohim to pt such rules and regulations ns ti adapted to tlie condition uud cir- utances of each—such as were best miated to promote its security, its erial prosperity, its numerical und sicnl strength, and its moral uud 'itual advancement, 'he tirst regulations of civil Bociety in to have remained much tlio same h alight modifications mul additions il the giving uf thc law on Sinai. j principles pf thc regulations were jontly tho result of u correct knowl* « of "Elohim possessed by the pious riarchs of the highest antiquity, rent knowledge of Elohim, tlio ore- it and moral governor uf heaven and th, und of tho relations men sustuin them, is certainly tho principal und of all true moral happiness and isperity among human beings, and absolute necessity for acceptable e, faith nnd obedience. Under the viarchal government beforo the )d, lawlessness, profligacy- und pineal athoism weru so rampant that ormatiou in the estimation of Bio- n was hopeless, and total destruction j only remedy. Four hundred years er, under a like government, super- tion, idolatry, debauchery, nud nll 3ir attendant evils were rife, and at became universal. And, na no 3ple loft to themselves evor regained correct knowledge of tho true God, w civil institutions wore an absolute ceBsity in order that tho chosen poo- might answer their high destina- n and preserve the true knowledge Elohim to succeeding ages. In er to the giving of a religious und il constitution, that provided such titutions for tho accomplishment of ih a sublime end, Jehovah, through e intervention of Mnses, suffered liim- If to be elected by the people us their ng. He then gave them the auni- ury of those laws on two tables of one on mount Sinai, a final standard right and wrong, that were to be a ■rpetual memorial of tlieir obligations himself as their invisible sovereign, id to each other as his subjects. 'ith respect to Elohim's acceptance of e kingship of the Hebrew nation, it snid: "Then God (Elohim) spnko all use words, saying, 1 am the Lord t-hovah) thy God (Elohun), who rought theo out of the land of Egypt, " Elohim is not dual but plural, id, in tlio concise history of creation, used hy Mobcb more than thirty Hies—Gods created: the noun being lural und the verb singular in every istance. And to avoid mystification, erplexity, and setiuue error, the name llohim ought to havo been retained, ain the Samaritan and Chaldee, the Idest and best versions of thc Bible u the world. Tho prevailing idea of 'iod in both the Old and New Testa- nents is that of plurality; and this ilurality is invariably limited by three; hvee distinct yersinia, bnt voluntarily ■ud practically one in council, purpose, .nd action. During the four great 'piclis in the history uf revelation the ilurality in thc Divine Godhead is dia- iuctly and memorably set forth: iu he introduction to the history of orea- ioti; in the giving nf the law; at the laptism of Christ; and at thc close of lie Nuw Testament. The fundamental religious element u tbu new constitution ia thus ex- [miaied: "Thou shalt love the Lord ihy God with all thy heart (affections), uid wiih thy soul (intellect), und with ill thy strength (physical energy)":— j(|uivaleiit to—Thou shalt love Father, Soh; and Holy Spirit, each of which is equally self-existent, independent, almighty, eternal, omnipresent, pure, mid perfect. To love in this sense, is to engagu all the powers of the mind iu meditation hn the divine excellencies, with the most pleasing and tho warmest appreciation thereof; and a constant, earnest, lunging desire and effort to have all the mental and pliysi- jkoul activities in perfect harmony with I the divine will. This ib perfect man- I hood*—it is the tone of a loyal subject, k The fundamental civil element in [[the new constitution in: "Thou shalt ■love thy neighbor ns thyself," inelud- I ing servants and strangers. Even I laboring cattle were not beyond hia ' special caro. Any wrong done to tho I poorest and feeblest of his subjects ho would regard as done to himsolf. Under tho civil law un open act of idolatry wns to bo considered treason ngainst himself as their invisible king, and .! punished with death, whilo the murder ■ of one of his subjectb was treated in like manner. Thus in the sloi'tt accounts of luw he appeared before his J subjects as a loving father rather than 1 king. Under this const it ut ion, we may ! very properly regard the Holy of { Holies as the palace of obligations they were under to adhere to the civil and religious constitution thoy had most solemnly sworn to sustain, Ezek. 30:32-14. Thuy are us a nation still within the unyielding grasp of the fundamental principles of that samo moral and civil law. Sever life from the bodv they may; but sever the relations that bind them to Elohim and to each other as a civil society they never can. Wander whore they may, they are ever accompanied by their Creator, by a sense of dependence and obligation, and by conscience, Thoy have long been and are still suffering fer their paBt rebellious conduct to their invisible king. The great principles of their constitution apply equally to ourselves as a people. Time makes no change, the principles aro eternal as tho nature of God who gave them. No nation or peoplo ia exempt from obligation to them; they comprehend humanity. Whatever tho particular form of civil government, it must, in ordor to secure tho divine approval, bo based on tho laws of God and of nature. And us subjects tif that government, nur best defence is not our army or navy, or both combined, though armed with the must terribly destructive instruments of war that inventive gonitis, art, and science can construct, and backed up with that world renowned courage, bravery, daring, pluck, and persistence that extorted from a great warrior the remark, "These British never know when they are beaten." 0, no. Our best, and only reliable defence, is in hiving obedience to the will of our invisible king whoso viceroy our beloved Queen Victoria is, as King David was before her; continued, loving obedionce to those sublime principles and precepts laid down in tho Holy Bible for our guidance is our best defence. Tho theocratic government of the Hebrews was in some respects a mixed oue. It was theocratic in as much us the invisible Elohim was their.chosen king; it was aristocratic in hb much as the superior magistrates, princes of tribes, and heads of thousands composed the select national assembly; and democratic, because the lower order of judges, genealogists, and as many of the common people as chose to attend, composed the inferior assemblies. The object of this theocracy was tbe preservation of moral order and true religion among tho people, as a nation, with tho ultimate design of soouring, if possible, thoir present best interests and future happiness, in harmony with their free moral agency; and through them to bless humanity at large to tho end of time. For whatever was good and enohling to human nature among all cotemporary nations was obtained directly or indirectly from tho same moral governor, So that all that is good in civil society and civil government is based on the three distinct persons in the Godhead, hurmmiiouBl.v working as one for the goud of human kind, and virtually saying to each free moral agent, "Follow us." Whether as a father of a family, the head of a tribe, or the ruler of a nation we have a fine example, a beautiful model iu our heavenly Father, with respect to the spirit ihat should animate us in the performance of all the duties growing out of such relationship. He condescends to show us in Ins own person what principles should guide us, what spirit should animate us, and what object should engross our attention; how we should conduct ourselves in our social capacity towards superiors, equals, and inferiors; how we should ba hi-3 represen lives among nlen, by principle, precept, and example. The Son of God manifest in the flesh is our sublime pattern. Loviiig, untiring obedience to his divine Father was ever the all-absorbing idea that pervaded hit mind. He muBt be about his Father's business; he must do the will of him that sent him; how was he straitened until it was accomplished: "Not my will, but Thine be done." Loving, prompt, persevering obodionco was the engrossing aspiration of his soul. No man spake as he did of thoso exalted virtues so necessary to good citizenship, Matt. 5; to eaoh other we are to do as we would have others do to us, Matt. 7:12; to governments wo aro to render dutiful obedience-—"to Ciosar the things that are Closer's, and to God the things that are God's," Matt. 22:21. He goes still farther, and says, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to thom that hate you, and pray for them that de- spitefully use you and persecute you," Matt. 5:44. The unnumbered objects of charity that everywhere thronged his path, including the halt, the lame, blind, the dying, and the dead, testify to the exalted character of his citizenship ua a aubject of the Roman empire. Both his example and his teaching exhibit a profound regard for civil institutions. As thu Son of man, filial lovu beat pure and strong in his bosom, for while expiring amid agonies unknown to mere humanity, he committed his dearly beloved, but anguished mother to the care of a beloved disciple. Thus the second person in the Trinity sols ns an example ol citizenship so beautiful, so self-sacrificing, * and so God-liko that it is unexampled in tho records of humanity, POWDER Absolutely Pure.
