According to our visiting Hindoo, who wears a wliite turban and imparts geographical knowledge to the Geographical Society very much in tlio style of Artemus Ward's famous discourse on "The Babes in tlie Woods," Britisli civilization and rule in India is a bad tiling for tlmt country. That is the old story. Tho truth is India is vastly better oft' to-dny than it was under the rule of native princes. Under tho lattor rule thero was no hope for the country. Thore was a perpetual conflict of races and religions. The rulers were rapacious, irresponsible ami oftentimes cruel. Tho Hindoo's respect for animal life is so great | thut he will let tho deadly cobras broad in the by-ways and hedges, and man-eating tigers uro allowed to prowl in the suburbs of largo towns. Uut when the savage, under the veneer and varnish, is excited, human butchery has been ns shocking in India as in any other part of the savage world. Great Britain may be nn exacting ruler, but sho has given law, personal protection, and public improvements to India. She has also introduced a better civilization. If Hindoos decline to accept it, so much the worse for them. Their own civilization culminated ages ngo. It became inert and utterly hopeless, The condition of Upper Burmah to-dny, under native rule, is a good illustration of tho condition of the greater pnrt of India before British authority was extended over that country. Tho ruler of Burmah is as cruel a wroroh as there is in the known world. He lias followed tlie customs of his ancestors by murdering everybody in that country who might by any possibility through lineage be his successor. Tlie miserablo and bloodthirsty monster ought to be suppressed. He has kept Upper Burmah in a deplorable condition. There is no protection for lifo or property. He represents absolute and irresponsible sovereignty. Yet he is not worse than were many other native princes when the British began to govern India. A better fortune would happen to Upper Burmah were that country brought ut once under British rule. There would at least bo some protection for life and property. To-day there is none. Whatever may hnve been the defects of British rule in India, it has lieen vastly more beneficial thnn auy government maintained by native rulers.—San Francisco Hut- It'ihi.

KIPD, 22ap:)m lailu Inland. NUMBER 40 having an accessible sea coast and n large commerce, would be more exposed to attack than slie is now and would dread the English fleet more, The very wealth of tho new province and its accessibility would be guarantees for peace. The Spectator admits that its article is partly speculative; but it says Englishmen will (lo well when they think of Russia to remember that "there is but one conquest whieh would rt lieve her treasury ; that tlio idea of this conquest has never been absent from her military bureau ; and that European circumstances at this moment render this conquest move possible than it ever seemed -before. She has on the theory t6 light England anyhow; why not light for something worth her haying'!' Globe. Some mouths ago Gen. SoboletV published a remarkable article iu a Moscow paper. In this he said that Russia does uot want India, or wish for .it, and that when she threatened it would bo for the purpose of forcing England to allow her to do ns Iier interests require on tlio Bpspho- rus. At that time there was no idea that danger of war between Russia and England would arise for many years. Since it has become probable that a war is at hand, it lias been frequently asserted that Russia's real object was to acquire the rest of Armenia and a port nearer than Batoum to tho open sen. Others have suggested that Russia's real purpose is to obtain access by rail to the Persian Gulf and there establish tlie ever open seaport for wliich she longs. The London Spectator suggests that this may be her real object, aud that it may be her purpose after seizing Herat to invade and annex Persia, covering an area of 000,000 square miles fertile as Italy, and capable of producing everything from wheat to pineapples. Misgovernmont has reduced the population to live millions. This country under Russian control would soon have a largo population and contribute to tlie financial needs of the Empire, It has no forco capable of resisting, even for a brief period, such nn army as Russia could throw into it. This, and not the wild mountains of Afghanistan held by fierce, unconquerable tribes, or-India, which with a population loyal to Groat Britain she could not hope to conquer, mny be the real object of those preparations which are supposed to menace India. Coming out of a war with such an accession to her territory, Russia would consider herself victorious no matter what hor losses might have been. Old Anglo-Indians and many others think that wero Russia established in Persia it would be necessary to maintain an army and navy in India at least twice as large as the present peace establishment. This, it is believed, was Lord Palmerstou's opinion. The Spectator thinks that the warlike twenty millions of tho Puiijaub could always furnish a force sufficient to hold the Russians in check, and that Russia holding Persia, Mr. Gladstone's speech upon asking the war credit was received with great enthusiasm, ahd tlie tone of the comments upon it shows how thoroughly united England is upon the subject-. It is fortunate that at this moment a man like Ghidstono is prime minister, because tiio country has tho moral assurance that if war should come, it is honorably unavoidable, and that it is not undertaken for any kind of Buncombe or Jingoism. The contest would appeal to the strongest feelings of Englishmen, nnd John Bright's refusal to attend the peaco meeting shows that he feels the significance of the crisis, and the possibility that war is the lesser of threatening evils. It is, however—and every English home and every thoughtful Englisl man will feel it deeply — a vory solemn moment for the country. A war between Great Britain and Russia cannot be a little war, and its consequences are incalculable. It will not lie u hurrah campaign, and the relations of other powers to the combatants can not be forseen. The interest of Germany docs not lie in the aggrandizement of Russia. Bismarck may dislike Gladstone, but lie knows that the plans and policy of (Jreat Britain do uot con- j template an extension of British territory in Europe, while neither Bismarck nor nny other statesman can now count upon Russian satisfaction with its European limits. Germany can not wish to see Russia at Constantinople, and may always suspect a Russian alliance with Franco to enable ftraiiea to settle old scores. In tho event of an English and Russian war, which should evidently raise the question of the greater ascendancy of either power in the European system, the feeling expressed hy the Vienna Taghlatt would be the conviction of liberal Europe s "Tho lust days of England's power would be also the last days of European liberty." As regards the comparative resources for war, Russia has the larger military force, but England the greater naval power. The financial nd vantage also is largely with England,although no great war was evor stayed for want of money. The general military advantages which a despotism like Russia may appear to possess are offset upon tlie English side by the spirit of a freo people. Neither combatant, indeed, would be defending its own territory, but the situation would none the less join the issue between the two countries as representatives of opposing principles. Preference of liberty and sympathy with a nation of our own blood and great traditions, whose advance has always extended freedom and civilization is not a sentimental delusion. In a speech upon St, George's Day Professor Goldwin Smith said that ho had little faith in conquest as a means of civilization, but if evor it sincere effort to give civilization has beeu made, England has made it in India. Tt might, he said, bo doubtful whether England is richer or happier for possessing Jndin, but the overthrow of her powor thero now would not bo a gain to India or to humanity. It would only restore tho murderous chaos from whicli England has lifted the country.—Harper*# Weekly. T\H. E. J. OFFKBHAU9, PHYSICIAN AND BURGEOM, nuSDk- Kamloops, B. C. IOIIIV GAIUIOW, HI. D.

Mills lht fivitish Columbian. WeilniMliiv Muruliitt, May '.'0, 1HS.1. Uniform Franchise. After a long and determined iitflit, it seems the new Dominion franchise bill is likely lo be abandoned. So determined was Sir John to puss tho bill this session tliat he made a rule some time ago tliat- the bill must be taken up dny hy dny, to the exclusion of all other matters, until it should be passed. This determination seemed so unfair to the opposition that a firm force was organized to light tlie matter out to the bitter end. Both parties resorted to the stratagem of speaking against time, and sittings of unheard of lengths were the result. The hope of the opposition wus that the government, or the house, or both, might become utter ly wearied and abandon the bill. Another advantage of delay was the opportunity afforded for an expression of public opinion, wliich the opposition felt was mainly opposed to the bill. Public meetings were being held throughout the country, and petitions were being circulated and signed everywhere against it. It is now announced that the bill has been dropped, und tlmt it will go into the waste basket Some of the provisions of tliis new franchise bill are very extraordinary, and we cannot help thinking that in its defeat the Dominion has escaped a most unjust aud obnoxious measure. The printed voters' lists were to be made the sole guide for returning officers in case of an election, which is right enouirh. But the final revision of these lists was entrusted to "revising barristers" who wore to be appointed by the government of tlie day! From the decision of these partisans there was no appeal. They had power to strike from the list the names of voters who were obnoxious to thein or tlieir party, and to add those of persons who might not fairly be entitled to vote at all. In a good many constituencies tlie electors are politically divided with such evenness tlmt the changing of very few votes will determine an election. It will be seen how perfectly adapted the machinery of tbin -vol. was to the accomplish meu t of great political corruption. Tliere were a few Conservatives who had independence enough to stand ou L boldly against so unjust a measure, but we find that the British Columbia member*, as usual, voted always j ■with the government. This is'the! more to be regretted Itecause the bill proposed to disfranchise a great many of our present voters. The qualifications of a voter in tliis province are so few that wc* practically enjoy a system of manhood suffrage. The bill proposed by the Dominion government changes all that, and would set us back to the ancient system of property qualification. A recent dispatch from Ottawa says ; "Peter Mitchell, in the Montreal Herald (now under Conservative control) say that an end must lie put to one more government bill and that tbe Franchise Bill must be withdrawn. If the bill is not withdrawn he predicts the downfall of the conservative party, He adds that the opposition are naturally against the bill. It describes the revising barrister clause ns moro infamous than any election machinery provided under the last French empire, Tlie government is beseeched to consider other business, and so avoid that desertion in the ministerial ranks wliich must ensue if the bill is pushed to the bitter end," From the result it would seem that tho voice of public opinion has been strong enough to prevail. Vox Popull. If the federal government has been laboring under the delusion tlmt it could with impunity impose upon the people of this province such regulations us it thought lit, the resolutions and speeches of the Saturday night meeting may come to it as a rude awakening. The meeting was large, aud representative in its character, and it was very enthusiastic tn its expressions of approval whenever any speaki touched upon tlie subject of federal impositions or provincial freedom. The hints thrown out nbout separation and armed resistance wore received by prominent men with the most cordial approbation. From the time when British Columbia entered the Canadian confederation until now, wo have scarcely ever lieen without n substantial grievance, and this unsatisfactory relationship must have a strong ton- dency to produce a state of chronic discontent, It is beyond dispute tliat the federal authorities seem ut terly unable to comprehend the circumstances and requirements of this province, and the ordinary result of every attempt to adjust matters pertaining to us is a complete muddle. It need not surprise tho people of Canada, therefore, that the recent regulations respecting timber dues, and other matters, have produced upon tbis province an effect much greater than the importance of the things themselves would seem to justify. These are like the last straws which break tbe camel's back We aro hopeful, however, that these matters may be adjusted in such a way as to prevent actual fracture of the spine, or even of the relations which exist between' this province and the federation. Thore wore some circumstances connected with the meeting of Saturday night which should not pass unnoticed. A great deal of wlmt was said did not pernio at all to the object for which the meeting was called. At such meetings there arc some persons always ready to put forward their personal grievances or party notions, and it was rather odd to hear somo of thn speakers who afl'ccted to deprecate the disagreements which were working so much mischief in the community, themselves liberally scattering abroad sentiments of the bitterest discord. Mr. Thos. Cunningham declared that lie did not believe the announcement made in Tiik Coi.umiiiax a few days ago that the provincial government was making a protest against, the new timber nnd land regulations. This declaration came not only after the announcement; but after Mr. Hendry had explicitly stated in the meeting that the provincial government was doing exactly what Tin: COLUMBIAN suid! Then Mr, Cunningham imported into tho discussion a very extraordinary and incomprehensible story he had heard about a statement made by the provincial secretary to a deputation of persons interested in the so-called squatters' claims at Coal Harbor. Tbe answer said to have been given by the provincial secretary to that deputation, if correctly stated, is conclusive proof that either the hon. gentleman is absolutely crazy, or that he so regarded Ins interviewers. It is simply beyond the belief of any reasonable being, and must be the result of either a very grim joke or a grave misapprehension. Mr, Cunningham's ordinary good sense ought to hnve prevented him from being led into such an absurdity, It was also etntert by Mr. Ounninglnim tl»«t when an attempt was made to sell a portion of the oity squares last year for railway purposes the scheme fell through beeaus" some persons wanted the road to connect us with Port Moody, while others wanted it to go to Coal Harbor. This is the lirst time we have heard that any citizen ever proposed to connect Mew Westminster and Coal Harbor by a branch railway. No such proposal was made in connection with the sale of squares. It was intimated by more than one of tlie speakers at the Saturday meeting that the Dominion government had broken its promise to give lands in the railway belt to settlers at 81 per acre. Such an intimation is not correct, and it may produce a very injurious effect if it goes through the country uncontradicted. The land regulations recently issued state that the price of homestead lands may be fixed by oi'der-in-eouncil, nnd Mr. Homer not long ago telegraphed that by an order-in-council the price had actually been fixed at 81 per acre. This telegram was published several days ago in Tui: COLUMBIAN, and much of Mr. Cliisholm's eloquence in assailing the provincial government was, therefore, thrown away. The spirit of the meeting generally was patriotic, and it showed a firm attitude of hostility to any measures which might be imposed to the destruction of our interests. Itought to liavo a salutory effect upon the people who rule us at Ottawa. isro'rxaE.

In response to a requisition of prominent citizens a large number of people assembled at the Court House lust Saturday night to discuss various grievances affecting tho interests of this province. Tho chair was occupied by his worship the mayor, and Mr. Wm. Ross acted as secretary. Tho meeting was both large and influential, and manifested much enthusiasm in the proceedings. Mr. Jas. Cunningham, M. P. P., briefly stated the action that had already been taken by thu Board of Trade respecting tho timber nnd hind regulations, the river channel, and the mail grievance; and tho mayor referred to the action of the city council. Mr. J, E. Lord wus the first speaker. Ho said that under the settlement act wo wore led to believe that the Dominion land and timber regulations would be about tho same as thoso of this province, but an i,rder-iu-cuuncil had lately buen passed wliich totally changed this beliof. According to theso regulations a mill that manufactured 1,000,000 ft. of lumber in a year would have to pay 810,000 [the speaker evidently meant 81*000] in dues. Tiio mills could not stand such a tux, and thoy would be compelled to leavo tho uity nnd go elsewhere, beyond tho Dominion bolt. Were the peoplo going to stand this? At the present timo onu of our mills is idle, and another wub working on short time, nud evory one know the effect bf this on the community. If till those mills were closod or moved away business would soon become stagnant. Another result of these regulations would bo that mills across the sound could compote with our mills and undersell them. He intimated that possibly personB who held large provincial limits might be responsible for these absurd regulations. He proposed the following resolution: That wc request that tho attention of our parliamentary representative, Mr. Homer, be called to the recent regulations made by the Govcmor-iii-Coniicil respecting the disposal of Dominion lauds within the railway belt, in the province of British Columbia, with a view to his taking immediate and prompt action to havo the same rescinded and proper regulations made; as we consider thnt the regulations iu question are unreasonable, unjust, and tyrannical in the highest degree; as these regulations plnce exorbitant prices on lumber, thus crippling our staple industry and rendering successful competition with the American mills impossible, as well as seriously affecting rights already acquired; thus directly tending to depreciate and injure the firoviuce us a place to settle in, and put icavy burdens on our present population, without any corresponding advantages. Ho called upon f lio meeting to protest in the most emphatic manner against those iniquitous regulations. If redress did not come it might be necessary for ttio peoplo to do as they liad dono across the mountains, and by forco insist upon justice! Mr. Job. Cunningham, M. P, P., seconded ttio resolution. He said tliis was nol a timo to impose increased burdons upon the industries of tho provinco. There liad buen depression iu (lm fishing and lumbering busities', nnd wp wore not able to bear an inert'*e of taxation. We had 3 mills here, nnd for some tune tlioy had nut buen uniking much money. Now thore was a prospect thut these mills would havu to bo moved. Tho Dominion government had better be careful how it treated British Columbia just now. Possibly if it hud been moro careful in its treatment of tho Nu ''-west a great doal of blood and treasure might have beon saved. Mr. Oeo. Turner, C. E., said thu regulations were evon worse than wus generally srj posed. According to one clause (Hoy applied to ull lauds purchased since 1858. Many acres of laud, useless for agricultural purposes, had heen purchased for thu timber. Now it scorned thoy could not claim the timbor, nor tho minerals, but only tho soil, which wub worthless. Mr. Jno. Hendry Biiid a consultation h nl taken pluco between tho chief com mi tinner, the provincial Bocrctary, and Hon, Mr. Trutch at Victoria, aud they interoroted thu regulations in tho way stated by Mr. Turner, and thu provincial govornmont was taking stops to enter un energetic protest against Uio enforcement of these regulations. Mr. J. C. Armstrong wished to know, in view of the statements already made, if il would not,be the best plan to begin an agitation for separation from Uio Dominion! Theso lnnd regulations might be comparatively a thing of small importance, but for us it was usurious mutter. Tf those regulations were going to be enforced, wu might as woll get out of tliu country at once. We had bolter get under the czar. Tlio wholo federal policy towards ua had boon unfair und tyrannical. The railway was a huge monopoly--a modern Juggernaut—and the land regulations wore a disgrace. The wholo mainland, he thought, was iu sympathy with this meeting, nud hu suggested thnt u petition be prepared fur signature throughout the country protesting against the grievance. The resolution wus put aud carried unanimously. Mr. Tims. Cunningham said that great cliunges hnd taken place in this city •since he luft it 20years ago. Lute ly thore had been lively times ami encouraging prospects, but it seemed an if wo woro now drifting back to (he dull times of 20 years ago. Ho was afraid the people had not learned well the lessons of past experience. Not, long ago uu attempt was made to nti-n- money for a railway bonus by selling thu public squares; but some wanted tho rond to go to Port Moody, while others wanted it taken to Coal Harbor, and between tho two parties the scheme was defeated. Our interests wero bound up with those of the farmers around us, but what nre we doing to show these puoplu that wo are in sympathy with them? Hu not tend a statement in Thk Cou'MMAN that the provincial authorities had protested against these regulations, but he doubted that statement. Ho was told that a member of the government said not long ngo that if a mini occupied land whioh afterwards became valuable lhe settler should bu removed 1 He believed Doo. Chinholm would bear him out in this. (Doc. Chisholm, who whb presont, said the statement was true, It was mado by the provinoial secretary iu the presenco of himself and Messrs. Adam Innes, Ooo, Black, und D, Mc- Pliadon, each onu of whom wus prepared to mako oath to tho fact.) Mr. Cunuiugliam then moved the following resolution: Whereas All order uf the Dominion govornor-iii-eoniicil regulating the settle* ment of laud situated within tho railway belt of this province has been recently published, nud whereas the Hiiid regulations nre in conflict with, nnd contrary to, the solemn obligations of the Dominion government repeatedly expressed Mien disposing of said land to actual settlers ijt a stipulated ami unalterable price; nml whereas tho settlers of thin province have in good faith, aud relying on the justice nf the government, taken up and improved theso lands; now there* i fore be it Resolved thnt this meeting views with eousternation and alarm the unrighteous j attempt of the Dominion government to j enforce nny regulations conflicting with ; the spirit and letter of the terms and conditions on which such lands have been or may be hereafter taken up, and we hereby pledge ourselves to oppose with all our might any effort on tbo part of the Dominion government to force upon us land regulations nnd restrictions which arc manifestly unjust and which tend to discourage and retard the settlement aud development of this province. He said if it were not for the hopo of tho federation of tlio British empire, he would hold up both hands for separation. If Mr. Homer did not represent the wants und wishes of his constituents, ho should bu invited to stup aside aud make room for somo one who would. Ho was free to express tho belief thut wu were uot represented ut all. The resolution wus seconded by Mr. J. 0. Armstrong, and after n few words from Mr. Jaa. Kennedy, Mr. D. Chisholm expressed his astonishment nt the turn affairs hud taken. He remembered hearing the provincial socretary tell the peoplo at Langley last yuur that tho lund question was all settled, tliat the government hnd made n grent bargain, that the laud in the railway belt was to bu §1 au acre, and that tho government by this concession had suved 840,000,000 to ihu country. Tho two district representatives wure at that, meeting, and confirmed these statements. Now, it scorns, tho whole thing is in a muddle. It seems that wu have no rights, und the settlors havo no lands. Farmers were leaving thu country iu disgust and going south of the houndary. Some people would say Old Doc. Chisholm was down on the provincial government. He was down upon nny Bet of men who imposed upon tho rights of tho poor man. He proceeded to chargo the provincial government with having miBlod the peoplo, and declared that uu person was doing right who supported a government that did tho people injustice; or a representative who supported such u government. Not only had the government misled people horo, but it hud scattered abroad statements which woro calculated to deceive, In one of the government immigration pamphlets hu found a postscript stating thut the Dominion lands had been thrown open to settlors nt $1 an aero. (Mr. Ross, lately immigration agent, produced one of tho books with thu postscript). The speaker procooded to say that before sending out these circulars tho government ought to have boon sure that thero was no chance of mistake. Ho referred to tho late election at Victoria, and the cry made against Mr. Williams that he owned some land ou tho mainland, and he counselled union and united action on tho part of tho people. Mr. Jno. Buio related some of his own experience us an illustration of the oppreisivenoss of the new timber regulations. Ho said he wus not after the provincial government, but he thought wu had a representative at Ottawa who did not represent us, and we should lut him know it. We did uot want us a representative a man who had his own interests to servo. Tho resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. T. J, Trnpp referred to tho statements ulrrady mtulu, and aaid ho believed British Columbia would bu butter off if she had uot entered confederation. It waa possiblo Mr. Homer had uot dono all hu could, hut wo ahould not condemn him unheard, It was a vory c< uimon thing for a representative to look out for himself. He would not like to see the people rising up ns thoy had done in thu North-west, but lot us lay theso matters very plainly boforo the Dominion .government, and if nothing is dono let them know thero will ' n double ahond. Tho people of Victoriu bad always workud against tliis city. If wu hud tho wealth and influence of Victoria this city would very soon be thu terminus of the C. P. U. nnd the centre of trade for tho province. Uu then moved tlio following resolution, seconded by Mr. Thus. Ovens: That, as tho city of Now Westminstor is the head uf navigation, for si a going vessels, and the distributing point for the mail service of the mainland, resolved tlmt tins meeting urge on the Dominion government, through our representatives, the importance of huving the channel at the river mouth properly murked und deepened, and the buoys kept iu position, aud thut the snug bout should be kept employed at this work and removing obstructions from the navigable portions of the river. Mr. Jns. Kennedy thought it was a pity those who poinjiliuned about divisions should bo ho ready to Iind fault with nthors and sow the seeds r.f dissension themselves, Hu referred to thu ferry, and the want of wharf accommodation, mid said it waa very important th we should cultivate and keep thu la of the people across tho river. Doc. Chisholm sau. t was not fair to blame Mr. Homt-i . >r neglecting his duties when he was not here to defend himself. The resolution was carried unanimously, Mr. J. C. Armstrong thought a committee should bu appointed to prepare a memorial for .signature throughout tho mainland. Mr. Thos. Oifnmhig- ham thought it butter to appoint three meu to visit the different settlements on the lower Fraser. Finally ho moved, seconded by Mr. Elauii: That this meeting nnp'iut a committee and draft a memorial tn both .--Dominion and provincial governments showing forth iu num Lit likable language our wants and grievances, and that said memorial be scut to the district for signatures, ami that said committee ooiumnriicnto with other districts in the province for cooperation. The following gentlemen were selected for this oom lull tee: Wm, McDougall, Mud Hny; Jno. Hendry and Thos. Cunningham, New Wurtmiiister; Thos. Shannon, Surrey; H Boyd, Richmond* W. M. Campbell.

P., moved, seconded by Mr. Henry Hughes: Thnt an the mainland is dependent for Its mnll servico upon a subsidized slimmer from Victoria under contract to sail at the hour of 7 n. in. on mail days, it is unre.-soiuhte and unjust for the postal flutlioritiri to change thu hour nf sailing iu order to suit tliu convenience of the owners of said steamer to the injury uf the public interests. Mr. Hendry moved tho liual resolution as followH: Thnt a minminry of these resolutions be telegraphed to Mr. Homer, our representative nt Ottnwa, with instruc- tiyns thnt iinWs satisfactory luodilien- tions nre secured ho Withdraw his support from the government. All thu resolutions were passed without opposition, and after a vote of thanks to the mayor and secretary, the meeting adjourned at 10:15, What Will be Done Next?

Tho Times thia morning declares that meu of ull parties aru agreed in thinking "somothiug is wrong.'' In other words, that a peaceable arrangement with Russia is even now not certain, This warning by tho Times probably signifies that a hint has got out uf thu contents of tho dispatches brought here by Cornice Stephen, and that thoy charge thu Russians with aggression und with perversion of letters and telegrams of correspondents of daily papers, Thu especially inspired Daily News strongly asserts this.

London, May 10.— The British government to-day issued diplomatic papers which state that Her Majesty's government will be compelled to regard as a hostile act any movement by Russia toward Herat. On the other hand it is announced that Kussiahns spontaneously disclaimed any menacing intention with regard to Herat, Tho British government is therefore favorably inclined to consider that the question tit issue botween England uud Knssia has reached n settlement satisfactory to both countries. The documents submitted to parliament to-day cover the Anglo-Itiissiun dispute up to the time of the Penjdeh incident and aggression on the part of the Russian government upon tho Ameer's territory of which Herat is the salient point. From St. Petersburg comes the news that tho Russian government has decided upon Russianizing the German provinces along tho Baltic. To accomplish this the Czar bus issued a ukaze that hereafter the Russian language shall be taught in all schools in those provinces and shall entirely replace the German language iu these schools wherein heretofore the Gorman has been taught, A similar edict hns been issued in tho Warsaw official journal. This edict makes the Russian language the only elementary language to be taught throughout Russian Poland, It is announced that us soon as the Anglo-Russian difficulty is settled the Czarina will visit the Princess of Wales in London, The rush for authentic copies of the revised old testament is unprecedented in Kngland. The Pall Mull Gazelle states this evening that a Loudon correspondent ot certain New York papers offered £500 for simply an advance copy of the revised copy of tht old testament. At one university publishing house the officers having the printing in charge were obdurate in refusing the correspondent's request. The correspondent of the Gazelle says ho was authorized by his paper to spend §2,500 iu telegraphing the main features of the new edition. The first orders for the new issue of the revision amounted to over 100,000. The Dally News says that if the revisers of tbo Bible have erred at all it is on the side ■■[ obstinate conspivatisin, rather than un the side of rash innovation. The Athenaeum says the revision is n literal success. There ave no pretensions to scholarly completeness. , Practically there is no alteration in the text. The revisers can be congratulated on the wisdom of their decision in declining to mnke a new text of the old, Madrid, Muy IG. — Over 4,700 persons have been inoculated with chulcru microbes by Dr. Feran in the province of Valencia, as a preventative of the disease.

Mr. Phelps, new United .States minister to England, was iu the court room, dressed iu mourning, nnd listened closely to tho judge's charge. Mr. Phelps seemed very much imiirc-scd by the stern language of the judge. The jury returned a verdict finding both prisoners guilty, nud they were sentenced to penal servitude for life. Ciiiiiiinghnm maintained his self* oomposuro, but Burton broke down and sobbed when the verdict was rendered, When the prisoners were asked if they bad anything to say why the sentence of the law should not lie passed upon them, they both protested innocence.

YESTERDAY'S DISPATCHES. London, May 111.— Tlie Press association has issued n two-column statement by nu Aiuerienu, giving full details of tbe dynamite plots, llurton, it is stated, wns one of fho centres of a society called the Robert Kmniet Association, or Sons of Freedom. Each centre directed n party of plotters who wore unknown to each other; therefore u party of men might bo working in the same plot nt the same plnco unknown to each other. Tho chief of the society was uot O'Donovan Kossa, but n mnn residing iu Philadelphia. Burton, alias .lames Fnncy, was long a bosom friend of Rossa. While in Baltimore Burton was a con- stmit visitor nt the house of a hnndsomo quadroon woman nnmed Mary Smith, Other parties were offended at nnd complained of this connection, which resulted in the recall of Burton to Now York. A fortnight later the woman was found dead, having lieen shot in a mysterious manner. In 18S0 Burton.quarrelled with Kosbu and they hnve since boon bitter enemies. Burton founded the Society of Avengers. It Is believed Burton's motive through out wns not patriotic, but pecuniary. The statement gives the method by which explosives were brought to Kngland. Tho (lower- st. explosion was done by au older brother of Cunningham, resembling the latter, who escaped to America immediately nfter tho oxplostnn. Burton directed nll the explosions except that At London bridge. H< detailed Ctinmnghnin and another innti to blow up tbo tower, Ciinntngliuni only watched while the other man placed tho explosive. The accomplice escaped before the fuBe was consumed. Three men effected the Westminster explosion, two of whom, iu female attire, curried the explosives in their hoop skirts. All three escaped. The attempt to blow up Albert memorial failed owing to the exposure of GamcB* package of dynamite, probably still in the Serpentine, Suakim, May 19.—Gen. Lord Wolseley and Col. MacNeil have started for England. London, May 19.—The British admiralty have decided to have a combined naval reserve squadron, including 14 first class men-of-war, assemble at Portland and proceed thence to Bantry Bay, Ireland, to engage in the naval demonstration. Torpedo experiments will be earned ou, on a gigantic scale, and the demonstration will conclude with a sham naval battle of a magnitude beyond all affairs of the kind ever heretofore undertaken. Montkbal, May 10.-—Small-pox is spreading rapidly in all sections of the city. The health department is broken down completely, but the mayor with the assistance uf loading military men is endeavoring tu check the disease. By looking at the quotations of tho Virginia tobacco markets it will bo found that the highest price paid for "fillers"— which is the tobacco which forms the body of the plug—vory closely corresponds with tlie invoiced price of tobacco leaf imported into Ontario, As over four-fifths of all the leaf imported into the province is for "Myrtle Navy" stock, this fact iB otlicinl proof of the claim thut the "Myrtle Navy" is made of the finest Virginia leaf. He a DAOHE.-T? Headache is one of those distressing complaints that depends upon nervous irritation, bad circulation, or a disordered state of the stomach, liver, bowels, etc. The editor and proprietor of the Canada Presbyterian waB cured aftor years of suffering with headache, ahd now testifies to the virtue of Burdock Blood Bitters. The Czar's Domain.—One seventh part of the land surface of the earth, aud one twenty-eighth part of its wholo area constitute the dominion of the Czar of all the Russias. More than 100,000 people call htm father, and are under his absolute govornment. In Russia a child is born on an average every eight seconds throughout the year, and a death occurs every eleven seconds. At the present rate of increase the population will double in about sixty years. But Russia is very fur behind most civilized nations iu the care of children and iu the preservation of life. Stat- ifltiofi show that CO per cent, of all the children die under the age of five years. The average duration of life in Russia is only twenty-six years, wliich is much below the average in tho western countries of Europe and in the United States. A Secret.- The secret of beauty lies hi pine blood and good health. Burdock Blood Bitters is the grand key that unlocks ull the secretions, It cures all Scrofulous Diseases, acts on the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, Skiu and Bowels, and brim's t a bloom of health to the palid cheek. Pbohjmitionin Texas.—The Cleveland, Ohio, Leader says: Prohibition appears to be taking deop.root in Texas. The people are greatly in- censed against the legislature for not submitting an amendment to the constitution forbidding the manufacture and sale of liquors in the stute, and now a red-hot aggressive prohibition campaign is about to be t.i on foot, A call hns been issued for a state con* vention, to bo held at Dallas, commencing on the Sth of May next, and all the temperance organisations, churches and Sunday schools are in* vited to send delegations. The intention is, if possible, to carry the next legislature and secure the submission of an amendment. L 'ing Democrats admit that a pi ' .-', ry amendment would carry i> Texas under the present state of public feeling on the subject. - —- -» — ' This is Reliable.—R. N.

Perhaps the most artistic building on tho exhibition ground fa tho pavilion of the Dominion Organ and Piano Company of Bowmanville. It is moreover one of tho most interesting to lovers of good music as being tho location of a magnificent collection of instruments. Tho erection of this building, which cost about $1,000, became necessary to meot the requirements ot tho company, which had been cramped for room in tho Main Building, where it is impossible to judge the merits of high-clnsB instruments. The enterprise displayed liy tho Company in providing suitable quarters on tho grounds for their business has been rewarded. Tho largo number of visitors who cnll, inspect, and purchaso proves beyond question that the public approve tho provision mado for their convenience aud comfort. Hero a crowd may bo scon listening to test performances on lirst-claBS instruments made by leading city and country musicians. Right well do the Company deserve the success which thoy have achieved. Tho present prosperous concern had, like all great Institutions, its day of small things. It had ita origin in Bowmanville about fifteen yean ago, tho stock being at thnt timo largely held by parties unacquainted with the business. About ten years go John Wesley, tho present secretary and treasurer; Oeorgo Piggott, tho manager of the manufacturing department: nnd Vf, S. Russell, suptrintend- ent of tho tuning department, bought out tho shareholders and assumed control, Since that dato tho business has been booming. A further stimulus was given to the concern by the admission of a Detroit millionaire as a partner. Piano- making was added to tne organ-manufacturing, and the establishment was increased, until it now occupies a leading fosition among Canadian undertakings. t turns out about 200 organs and SO pianos per month. These are produced by 250 hands, who receive in wages about $15,000 per month. The whole civilized world ib the firm's market, and they have branches in London and Manchester, England; Hamburg, Germany; Adelaide and Sydney, Australia; Auckland, Now Zealand; and St. Petersburg, 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 there are two kinds, a square and a square grand. The former is intended for standing against tbo side wall of a room, and is convenient for comparatively small apartments. The square grand is finished on all sides, presents a handsome appearance, ana is suited for occupying a prominent position in drawing or music room. These two instruments are of rosewood, with & superfine polish, scoured by bind rubbing witli oil for hours. The touch is quick and easy, the tone brilliant aud 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 prices, 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 presont at the* Dominion Exhibition, Montreal, but is expected here at the end of the week. It is arranged to be blown by Turk's water motor, whioh haa been placed ia position to await the arrival of the big instrument. The organs run 'through all grades, from the thousand dollar instrument down to the parlor favorite. The cases show wonderful variety. Many of these are of rare beauty and skilful workmanship. The case which secured for the Company a prize at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia is still much admired, and is largely manufactured. Cases for parlor organs aro chaste in design aud artistic in execution. Tho musicians who tested the organs affirmed that for sweetness of tone and elasticity of touch they are model instruments; while visitors can themselves judge as to the beauty and style of the cases.

A RlARKABLE STORY, "Besides, ony may accept a fuvor from onu's cousin," hu suid, ''(.'specially when it is uot much ot' u favor. boing the dump part of tho house which fow peoplo would hnve taken hud thoy been pnid for doing so; bat to be indebted to a linu of bankrupts is impossible," Mr. Mildmay Vornon snid. He tool; his departure in tlie beginning of the winter, just when the want of hot-water pipes would be beginning to make itself felt. And it wns almost without consulting hor mother that Hestor mnde arrangements for removing their few household gpods into his liouso to leavo their own free fur the mistress vf ull. Mrs. John consented to the arniugouieiit, but uot. without n few tours. "It is not that I mind the diffor once," sho snid, "in thu sizu of ihu I'l'iims, ur anything of that sort, but it feels like coining down in tho world." "We hnve ull ouino down in the World," said HoBler; "nnd Catherine most of ull," And then Mrs. John criod for Catherine as shu hud done first for herself, und resisted no mure. on . the It was early in November when lhe time camo for Cathorino to leave the Grunge. Sho had made u selection of u very fow things to go with her; ami it was thought thoy would yell very well. She Iiml sumo pictures which had been in the house for-generations und some things wliich her grcat-unelo hml picked up when ho mado (he grand tour. And there was a great denl of valuable china and quantities uf old silver, tho Accumulations (,f a family that had not been disturbed fur general ions. Sho showed no feeling about it, people said; and Indeed Catherine felt thiit neither about this nor auy othor external thing wns she capable of showing much feeling. Sho cured u'olhing about leaving tho Grange. Hud she been actually brought down as far na Ihealms-houBB, iu nll likelihood she would hnve taken it with the proudest placidity, What was thoro in that to move a soul? One room was very much like another, if you went to general principles, though it might be larger or smaller. Were these matters to mnke ono's-sclf unhappy nbout? So she said, fully meaning it, und with ti smile. She was at the otlice every day. It seemed a matter almost of economy to keep for the i. ent the brougham, with its one horse, which took her there; but of everything else she divested herself with tiro frankest good-will. Ti onler world situ kept lior good I 'hough i'ho wus thinner, and her complexion paled; but those who watched her moro closely fuund that there were many changes iu Catherine. "I'm killed, sire," old Captain Morgan still said. Hu himself had given them great alarm; he hnd had "a stroke" in the beginning of the winter, but it had passed away, though he still said everything was too fnr for him, and found hts ovening hobble tu tho Grange too much. He went ns often as he could. sometimes to bring Hestor homo who wus always thore tu receive Catherine nt her return, sometimes only to sit , nud talk for an hour in the evening. With other people when they came Cntherino employed tho same plan which she hnd sot on foot wiih Harry She made Hester her representative it) tho conversation, She said it did Iter good, while she rested, to henr the voices and to take into hor mind mnv ami then a scrap of tho conversation, lint it Boomed to Hester that she paid leas uud less attention to whnt people said. She wus very cheerful iu her time of business, but when she lay back in her chair in tho evenings she was so still sometimes that, but for her hand now and then stealing to her eyes, her anxious companion would scarcely have known that she lived, She thought nothing of her health for her own part, und constantly said that she was quite well and that her work agreed with her. There had been a littlo excitement iu her appearance when she came homo in the evening of the last day she was to spend at the Grange, Heater thought it was the coming change that occasioned this, though Catherine declared her indifference to it. She talked with u little haste and excitement during dinner, und when thoy were alono afterward did not flag ns was her wont, but continued to talk, "It Jb a great pity," she snid, "a girl like you, that, instead of teaching or doing needlework, you should not go to Vernon's, ns you have a right to du, and work there.'1 "1 wish I could," Hester said, with euger eyes. "Thoy tell mo you wanted to do something liko what I hnd done. Ah! yuu did nut know it was nil to bo done over again. Thia life is full of repo titiuns. People think tho sume thing docs not happen to you twice over but it does, in my experience. Yoi would booh learn. A fow years' work, nnd you would be nu excellent man of business; but it can't be." "Why cannot it bo? You did it. I should nut be afraid--" "I wns old. J wui past my youth All thut sort of thing wns over for ine. It could bo in one way-if you could mnko up your mind to marry Hany—" "I cuuld not—I could not! Twill nover mm ry." "It ts iv great pity you cnu uut-I think it is n mistake. I hnvo dono him a great denl of injustice in iny timo; but ono finds out, sooner or later, that brains are nut overything. Thero is another man, nud ho has brains, who would mnrry you if you'd hnvo him, Hester—Roland Ashton, Tnko lum— it is better in the oud," "Oh, do not nsk mo! I will never marry," Hostor cried. Then Catherino suddenly sat upright in her chair nud clasped her hands together with almost wild emphasis. "I would marry," sho cried, "if I were you! I would wipe out ovory recollection. Did they tell you tho pitiful story of a mooting in the train, a marriage suddonly mnde up, nnd who it was that wont nwny into the darkness in what wns to have boon your plnco )■' "Yos, thoy havo told ino," aaid Hester, in a low" voico, "Lord in hoaveni" cried Catherine; "what a world, whnt a world this is! all mockery and delusion, all farce oicept when it ia tragic. And nfter that you will not marry—fr,r the sake of-'r "How can I help it ?'' oriod the girl, with wistful oyes. "You do thesame yourself." "Myulff Thnt is different. Your heart will not be empty forever, Hester, It cannot closo itself up forever. With me tlint was tlio Inst. This It one thing that makes a mother liko m one else. Hold tho last fast, they sny, It was everything one had to look to. I am very cheerful, aud I shall livo for years—nmny poople do, But I have ' gut my death-blow," Catherine suid. Then tho silence dropped again between them. It wits before u cheerful lire, with u lamp burning—altogether ii moro cheerful scene than in thoso aad summer days. "Thoro nre some people who would not take much interest in it," Catherine continued, "but you do. T think you are liko me, Hester. We woro kepi apart by circumstances; perhaps it is possible wo might hnvo beon kent apart on purpose. He"—Catherine made a pause beforo nnd after, nnd said the word with a sob—"never understood me. Thoy say ho wns—afraid cf me, never could trust me with whnt ho roally wished. Alus, nlns! It must have boon my fault—" "Oh, no, no!" "Ah, yes, yes! I hnd rather think that: nud there i-i ft great deal that is base in nio. I cuuld not but laugh even at that story of Emma—even now. Human nature is so strango: it is a farce. I am not angry though, lint nt all: ull things seem float ing off from mo. I could think we were floating away together, yuu and I—-'' '•Yuu are not well; you are doing too much. I Bhould like to scud for the doctor,'1 '"1 believe in un doctors. No, no; I am quite woll, only tired with the day's work and ready tor rest." And tho silence resumed its swuy. She laid heraelf back as before, her pale liond against the dark curtains stuod out like ivory. Seme timo afterward slie sighed two or three times heavily; thou there was no Bound at all. The lire burnt cheerfully- the lamp shed its stead;,' glow upon Hester's book, to which after this talk she did not, as may be supposed, pay very much attention. But Catherine did tint like a vacant watcher, and the book war it kind uf safeguard, protecting her from tlie sense uf nn eye upon ber. Perhaps an hour passed sn. A chill crept iutn the room like nothing Hester had over felt before, though all was still, serenely warm, und bright to outward appearance. Sho rose softly tit last nnd touched Catherine's hands, that wero folded iu her lap, tn wake her. It wns from them the cold hnd come thnt had crept iuto her heart. Thero was, thon, lio need that Catherine Vornon shuuld over lio in cramped rooms, in another honso from that in whieh she hail beeu burn. When tbey ci.rried her out from it u week after, thu whole population came out to moot the procession and followed her weeping, lining tho path, tilling tho streets. Hor misfortunes, und the noble courage with which she had stood up ugninst thom at the oud, brought back till tho fullness of the love aud honor with which she had boen regarded when she first became supreme in tbo place nnd all bounty flowed from bur. There was not any une connected with her, high or low— not only tho poor Vernons who bad snarled nnd scuffed while tbey accepted hor favors, but tbo very men of money who hnd of late taken upon themselves the nir of patronizing Catherine—but was proud co bo able to repeat now, on the day of her burying, what sho liad said to them, and how thoy bad como in contact with her, Tbe due- tors wero not clour us to how sho died. Sho bu I never been stispueted of heart disease or uny other disease. Hut it was her heart sumehow, with or without u medical reason for it, that had failed her. The last touch, those who loved her thought, had beon too much, Derision such ns she hud delighted in other pircuinstltucos had overtaken tho last tragic occurrence uf her life. Cathorino had not been able to bear the grim mockery, tbo light of n farce upon that tragedy of ber uwn. And na for Hester, all that can bo said fur hop 13 that there are two men whom she may choose between, und marry either if shu pleases—goud men both, who will never wring her heart.

Tho revenue raiders lmvo some very thrilling experiences sometimes. 'A few nights ngo a party of raiders were up tliu Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. hi ihe party was u vory quiot but utterly fearless young fellow named Leo Cnpe. Tlio party approached a distillery iu which live men wero at work, and aa the place wna being surrounded llio moonshiners discovered that something was going wrong. They made a wild daah, evory man going in a different direction. Near by was a creek about fifteen foot wido and eighteen incites deep. The night was one of the coldest of tho recent severe weather. A distiller made a bold dash toward that creek. Leo Capo was on the oil' aide of tlio stream and put out to intercept him. As the moonshiner approached one bank Lee came up op the other, both panting from tlie violent race. Without hesitation the fleeing 'stiller plunged in, and as lie did su Loo Cnpe from the opposite bank presented a big revolver and said: "Halt!" Tho moonshiner stopped in the middle of the stream, "Don't run," snid Cape, "Hello, Leo,' observed the moonshiner, standing hnlf-waiut deep in the icy waters. "Hello, Mobo," stud Cape, "come out and givo up." "You come in here and take me if you want mo!" "Yuu run and I'll shoot you." "1 won't run." "Well, como out, then!'' "1 won't!" "Well, stand thore!" "I'll do it!" "All right," said Cape, "you'll stand in that wator and I'll stand bore. I can stand it if you oan." The moonshiner's teeth bogtm to chatter. At last he said: "W "Hey?" "I'll have to cavo; I'm coming out." "All right." And the blocknder, shivering and freezing, ciime up dripping from tho creek and Lee marched him into camp, —Atlanta, (la., Constitution.
