His'inodosty was so groat thut nfter ho mado tho first plough and it did satisfactory work ou his own farm he Heeliited to make a second for a neighboring go i itl em un, on tho plea Unit lie was not as good u blacksmith! us the'gentleman ought to lmvo, and recommended a neighbor of his named Gray, The latter became rich ut the business, while Allan remained as poor ns ever, though before his death liis style of. plough was in uso all oyer the .\Jwted Kingdotn.-r- »S7. Louis Globe-Democrat, Alt; Gladstone's Voice is of interest t6 the,, nation und to ofeher.'na- tiotis"; a taJhrsehess, therefore; which might be excused, and evon more in some orators, is a public anxiety in his case. We are glad to be ablo to express a favorable opinion about it. Itisboinj? carefully treated' by Sir Andrew Clark and Dr. Felix Semon, whose special aptitude; in suoh a matter all will recognize. Tliese physicians find Mr. Gladstone to have a slight but somewhat obstinate and chrouio catarrh of. the larynx.' They enjoin entire rest of the voice, and already there is decided imprpvement. We can only express our hope that Mr. Gladstone will not be induced by any of l\w&f followers of his, whose ardor, is more apparent than their judgment, to disregard tho advice of his physicians, lest hi' injure tho voice upon the integrity of which much may yet depond for tlie future dignity of political life aiid discussion in these realms.—London Lancet. Moses, tho sou of Amram, he who brought the children of Israel out of Egypt; who broke tho chains of slavery; our great law-giver was our first great Moses. Moses ben Maiinun, known as Maiiuonidcs, who lived iu tho twelfth century, a scientific investigator; u writer of philosophic works;' n student of medicino, nnd rich in Talmudical learning; ho was our second great Moses. Moses Mendelssohn, born in 1729, a modern thinker aud a pursuer- of the philosophy of the. former, who was full of Jewish piety, and yet succeeded to raise the social elevation of his Jewish brethern, he was our third great Moses, Moses Montefiore, whose death we now mourn, who was principally known for liis unbounded lovo for all mankind, htxl most particularly for his unlimited philanthropy toward his co-religionists; he put into practice tlio teachings of his three great predecessors, and was our fourtti great Moses.—Hebrew Journal. Tho importance of the Sunday school in Great Britain is testified by the presence of live million scholars in sueh schools, while the attendance at secular schools is 4.- 000,000. Thu educational statistics of Great Britain show that that country is making enormous strides in popular education, nnd that illiterate Britons will soon be unknown, Iu 1868 tho average attendance of children in secular schools was only 1,063,000, whereas in 1884 it was over 4,000,000—the attendance actually quadrupled in fifteen years. On thc registers in 1860 there were about 1,500,000 children, mid in July of this ycar'5,215,000. During the past fivo years tlio school attendance had increased by 600,- 000, and the children in tlio higher standards hnd doubled in numbers. Tho latter is nn important fact, and especially noticeable in England, where the practice of Bonding children slaves to toil in factories when thoy ought to be at the school desk or in tho playground was genoral. What has been the eflects of education upon juvenile crimo? In answer to this Mr. Mundella, the lato minister of education, gives somo startling but satisfactory figures. Ho says of crime iu Kngland, that tho sentences of penal servitude had dropped in fivo years to about ono half. The sentences of imprisonment for indictable offences for thc fivo yoars preceding 1809, were 12,- 0f>8 per year out of a population of 21,000,000. In 1883, tho oflbuces, notwithstanding an increase in population of five millions, had fallen to 9,997. Tho prison population showed a similar decrease, Tho decreasos were mainly in juvenile criminals.— Ottawa Free Press, Since Mr, Thos. Whito on to red the federal cabinet the opposition press has been holding an investigation upon his character, Tho enquiry has not beon at all fruitless. Indeed, thero nre not many men who have been so actively and British Columbian. gov §nlc nr 1* fUnt. ■VOUTtaE 28 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0„ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1885. NUMBER 17 so long,engaged in politics as )5Mr. Whito whose character would stand a careful scrutiny. Among jother curioiis things brought to lightns an old controversy between Mr. White aiul Hon. D, A. Smith, of the 6. P. 'R. syndicate. In 1873 it seems the Montreal Gazette, of wliich Mr. Thos. Whito was'editor, undertook to turn its batteries against Mr. Donald A. Smith, and said a jjood many things about him which arc pronounced without foundation. Mr. Smith remonstrated with Mr. Whito, but was met with the extraordinary plea that '-journalists were sometimes compelled by political exigencies to write iu disregard of those considerations by which .under ordinary circumstances thoy'would j be guided." When chhrged with this in 1881 Mr. Whito denied tho whole'business, and declared that it' whs without any foundation in ifact. Mr. D. A. Smith, however, published a letter showing that Mr. White's- denial waa contrary to the facts, and this letter was endorsed by Mr.. Geo. Stephen, president of tho O.P.R. To this lotter Mr. White hus never replied. The curious part of this historical reminiscence is that Mr. Thos,: White is to-day one of the most valliant defenders of the G.P.R, syndicate, of whioh Messrs. Smith and Stephen are still prominent officials. His intimate friendship for tliat syndicate will not recommend him to public confidence as a minister oi tho crown. Howover honest and straightforward the syndicate may be,* its dealings with tho government are such that thero ought to bo the most perfect independence on the part of ministers., ., j {'. i Tlie Aludleal Use ofErffs. For bums and cutn thore ia nothing move southing than the. white of an egg, which may bo poured over thn wound. It is suffer, as varnish, for a burn thnn cullodion, and boing always nn hand can bo applied immediately. It is also more cooling than the "sweet oil and cotton" which was formerly considered to be the sureat application to allay the smarting pain. It is the contact with the air whioh gives the extreme discomfort experienced from ordinary accidents of this kind; aud anything which excludes air and pre- vents inflammation is tho best thing to be applied. Tho egg is alao considered to bo one of the very host remedies for dysentery. I teuton up lightly, with. or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends by its emollient qualities to lessen th'e inflammation of the stomach and its intestines, and by forming a transient coating for these orgaus to enable nature to assume her healthy sway over the diseased body. Two, or at most threo, uggB por day would be alt thnt would bo roquirud in ordinary casus; and since the egg is not merely a medicine, but food us well, the lighter thu diet otherwise, and tho quieter the patient is kept, tho mere rapid and certain is the recovery. —Game Fancier's Journal. A suspended Sword. Ono of thu Aldermen, who was going down ou a Micliigun-avenue car yesterday, looked su pale and worried that a friend folt compelled to ask if he was ill. ' " ; "No, not exactly ill," was tho reply. "Perhaps you ate iu trouble?" "It nil comes from a dream I had lust night. I dreamed that I wns sitting alone in my offlce when a littlo, slitirp*faced man dressed in black walked in, snt down at the desk, and as ho helped himself to pen and foolscap he quiotly, said; "We'd bettor begin at tho beginning." "Beginningof what?" iiiyal. "Of your official corruption," he says, looking as cold and cruet os nn icobcrg, "I wnnted to rise up and put him out but I had uu strength to du it, and ho writes away for a minute, and then asks: "How much have you mado out ef tho pavement ring?" "Threo hundred dollars," I replied, fool that I was. "And from the sewer ring ?" "About WOO." "And the electric light ring?" "Five hundred." "And tho street railway ring ?" he goes on, his eye looking right through nio, "Well, $150 iu cash. "Very well, you will now sign this coufossiou," hu says ns he handed mo the pen." "Hut ynu didn't dolt!" exclaimed thu friend. "But I didl I was just fool enough to write my name there." "Well, It was only a dream, and of course there is nothing in it. I shouldn't feol bad." "Well, 1 duuiio. You soe, I nlso dreamed that after I sigiu.l the confession a reporter grabbed onto it nnd ran away, and I'm looking for the wholo thing to como out in cold print nny morning;"— Detroit Free Press. Tons ok Gold.—A correspondent of tho Salt Lake Tribune, writing from Shoshone, Idaho, says: "Considerable excitement prevails here on account of tho opinion expressed by Sir Robert Farquharaon, tno eminent Knglish geolugist, who has beon spending a fow dnys at tho groat Shoshone Fulls, twenty-two miles south of here. Ho1 is confident that hundreds of tons of gold dust has fuund lodgment at tho feot of tho Talis, having bean washed down tho river for ages past. The question is how to get at it, as tho water under tho falls is from fifty to onu hundred foot deep, Tho theory looks plausible, as thc country through which the river runs is rich with gold for hundreds of milos above andbu- low the falls." . .■-»_—.—.— A new map of British Coiumbin just Issued by tho government, for sale at T, R.

Sinco the sentence has boon pronounced upon Kiel tho whole proceedings of his trinl have been discussed by the eastern press. Hon. Wm. Mncdougall, who stands high as n legal authority, has written a letter in which he takes the ground that tlio trial was not a legal ono, nnd tho sentence cannot bo carried out. In tliis opinion Mr, jlncdoug- nl is not alono. It is stated, moreover, that Kiel's friends have determined to appeal ami carry the caso to the privy council of Groat Britain. It is not likely, therefore, that Riel will be hanged very soon. In fact, he will probably not be hanged at all. During the past live years Iho provincial expenditure on public works has been about as follows: Tii 1881 it was §81,000, next year .5100,000, the year following $142,- 000, in 1884 it had risen to §234,- 000, while this year it reached 8254,- 000.: jt may be remarked that the present government camo into otlioo in the spring of 18§3, and the revenue of tho country wus at onco diverted from the profitless dry dock to the construction of public works so essential to the development nnd progress of the country. Notwithstanding the largely increased expenditure on public works, there is a surplus in the treasury. On Monday afternoon the ship Toby arrived at Port Moody with a cargo of steel rails for the C. P. ft. This is, we believe, the last of the steel rail fleet. Thero are, we presume, rails enough to complete the road, and no more will be wanted at least until the work of making the extension and side tracks has been commenced. The unloading of these steel rails has given employment to quite a numbor of men, and the supplying of these men and the ships has livened things up a bit at the terminus. It is to be regretted that the railway could not be opened for traflic when tho last sliip takes her departure. That would more than compensate for the loss of the ships. Tho following paragraph appears in the Colonist of Hunday: " Tho judgment of Hon. Mr. Justice Crease rendered yesterday quashes the conviction and declares the act (Chinese Regulation Aot) to bo un constitutional." The act thus ruled out is, wo presume, the one lately passed by tho provincial legislature imposing a special tax upon Chin men:: -An attempt was made not long ago to enforco the act, but it was resisted and brought before Judgo Crease. The result is much to be regretted. Tlie judges of British Oolumbia have a disagreeable habit of driving through our statutes, and the country is sometimes made to sufter serious loss in consequence. We shall not bo much surprised if the next act upset is the one lately passed by the Dominion*-' restricting Chineso immigration. Within leas than a year the Seattle Posl lias developed into consid erable of an iinti-Ilritisli organ. Its utterances on British subjects used to be characterized by a generous appreciation of tho many good features to be found in the old motherland. Now it scarcely ever sees anything worthy of admiration across the Atlantic, and derives its chief pleasure from criticising whatever John Hull happens, to be doing. The other d;-y it sneered at Queen Victoria because in her speech at tlie prorogation of parliament she used such expressions as "my people," "my oflicers," "my colonies,'1 etc. The Posl thinks such expressions very ridiculous, because, it ventures to intimate, the queen does not really own the country or the people! Poor innocent dear Did it ever occur to the editor of the Post that lie was uttering very profound nonsense whon ropeatinj •the lines of that immortal American poom wliich begins thus: HMy country, 'tis of theo"! Wo are afraid the man of the Post is just n little freali. Free Traiio or Fair Trade. The Viotoria Colonist, which pro* fesses to believe in protection, infers from the signs of tho times that we may look for a considerable modification of the present British tariff in the direction of retaliatory duties. There has for some time been aery in Great Britain for "fair trade" as against freo trade. Tho "fair tr$de" party proposes to tax 11 articles imported from foreign countrios exactly to tho same ox- tent as tliose articles are taxed by foreign countries importing them from Great Britain. But this party has nover exorcised any considerable influence in thc councils'of the nation, and if the Colonist thinks the principle of fair trade will bo adopted by the Tory government or party it is mistaken. Pair trade was a Tory party cry while the Tories wero in opposition, but it found so little sympathy among the people that it was dropped long ago. There is nothing either in Lord Salisbury's reply to tho English deputation or in any other event to lead to the conclusion arrived at by the Colonist. Freo trade has boen the established trndo polioy of Croat Britain since lS4fi, and although agitations looking towards a change havo often sprung up, free trade is the policy of the country still. Protectionist journals are never tired of discovering evidences of an intention on the part of the people of Great Britain to abandon the policy that has so wonderfully promoted the development of Uritish manufacture and commerce, but tliese "evidences" have always proved disappointing, A Mining Boom. If the richness and extent of lhe new gold mines in the Similkameoil country havo not been greatly exaggerated, we aro Upon the evo of another mining boom. The region where these mines aro reported to exist is not by any means unknown in mining circles. For many years it has been no secret that gold and silver might bo found almost everywhere throughout the Similkamoen, and considerable quantities have been coming into the market. Bub although tho present rich strike need not surprise auy one acquainted with the character and history of the country, it is none the less welcome. Thc provincial resources upon which great dependence is placed have not this season developed according to general expectation. The lumber trade, everybody knows, has been uuusu-illydcpressed: and although it is brisk enough at the present moment, the season has been far from satisfactory to lumbermen. The fisheries have not been less'disuppointing. There have been fish enough, and millions more than could be gathered; but the prices have gone down till scarcely any margin is left. The coal market this year has boon so uncertain aud unsatisfactory, in consequence of dull times iu California and along thc coast, that our coal mines have not produced more than half the quantity they were able to pro duce. For many years the products of our gold mines have boon growing less. With these facts in view the reported rich strikes in the Siinilkatneeu and at Big Bend are reassuring. Both places are comparatively easy of access. The Similkameon mines aro only about iiO miles from Hope, and the Big Bend mines will very soon bo reached without difficulty from the Canadian Pacilic Kailway. In both places the extent of auriferous country is not accurately known, but it is known to be large. When these regions become filled with miners, prospecting parties will he finding other spots in the mountains aud streams wliere large deposits of tho precious metals exist, and in this way a large extent of country will be prospected. At tho presont moment our knowledge of these new mines is not definite enough to form a basis of action. It will not be long, however, lieforo the facts will liecoine known. All that cau be said tit present is that tho prospects soom to be extremely hopeful. A new map of llritiih (joluinhiujiiHt Issued by tlw government, for sale at T. H.

Hundreds of the volunteers in thi late war in the Northwest have signi tied their intention uf settling in that region and cultivating the land, In the police court Monday n Spun iiard got d mos, for supplying boor to an Indinn, and a half-breed wns lined $(i for being drunk and disorderly. The extent of thu cholera ravages in Spain may bo learned from our tele- grapbie despatches which announce that there have been 72,347 deaths already. There is an increase in postage on letters and papera to Australia, and persons corresponding with that colony should enquire for tho new rates at -the post otlice, It is atntod that Mr. Villard, whose 'brilliant administration of the Northern Pacific Railway ended so disastrously. will Boon bo connected again with the management of that road. It is nut known how much damage will be dune by the severe frost reported from St. Paul, but it is to bo feared wo may hear something about frozen wheat in Manitoba again this yenr. Owing to a neglect of all principles of sanitation the death rate on the Isthmus of Panama has become frightfully largo. In (Julon, a city of 10,- 000 persons, the deaths nro now nt tho rate of 9,000 a year. Prince Bismarck recently told a Russian diplomatist Hint he hnd decided never again tu use tobacco in any form aud that he regarded cigar- otto smoking as extremely noxious and ridiculous to boot. The missionary steamer Glad Tidings went up the river yesterday with a party of oxcursionists. They. hid their pic-nic on the Band-bar opposite .

McKay, M.A., uf St. An* 'drew's church, will deliver a gospel temperance address in the Methodist church, Mnple Ridgo, next Tuesday evoning, Tho meeting will begin nt 7 o'clock, nnd there ought to bo a largo attendance. Wu believo other meetings of n similar kind will follow at intervals. The best medical authorities acknowledge the great value of Ayer's Cathartic Pill, and frequently prescribe tlieir uio with tho Utmost confidence, well knowing that they aro the meat effectual remedy ever devised for diseases caused by de* rangements of tlie stomach, liver and. bowels, Tho evangelistic services by Rev. Dr. Graves continue to increase in interest. Last Sunday night tho seats in tho Drill Shed were completely tilled, and temporary sittings had to be provided. Meetings 'will be held overy night this week in the Drill Shed nt 7:30, and at 3 o'clock in ono of the churohos. The doctor's addresses are vory earnest nnd pointed, aud the meetings, wo believe, aro doing good, lis Delicacy or Flavor And the cfllcaoy of its action have rendered tho fumous liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs, * immensely popular.

W, Trutch; nnd Messrs. Gamble, Brophy, Jennings. Hnney, nnd others. We sujiposu' his report will ,determine whethor tho railway has been completed in a way satisfactory to tho syndicate. As soon as the inspection is completed tt iB expected Mr. Gamble will begin operations at this end. A Poweufcl Ironclad—H. M, ship Triumph was expocted at Esquimalt yesterday. She ia 300 feet long, 50 ft. beam, and 6,900 tons. Her draft is 28 feel.

It ia oxpected thia ship will remain for some time in British Columbia waters. A Radical Change.—Tho hest eradi- eator of foul humors of the Blood is Burdock Blood Bitters. A fow bottles produces a radical change for tho better in health and beauty. It removes the blood taint of Scrofula, that terrible disease so common iu this country. Meiui-inal. Swiings..—If publio reports tiro worthy of belief tliere is likely to bo no scarcity of medicinal springs in British Columbia. We have already published statistics showing the character nf the waters of thu hot sulphur springs of Harrison Luke. During this season several parties have visited theso springs, tind somo undoubted cures have been effected. An eastern newspaper states that valuable ;hot springs liavo nlso been discovered on .the line pf tho 0. P. li. in the Rocky-'Mountains, and thut poisons have received gnat benefit from them. It ja expected theso springs, as welt as thqse at Harrison Lake, will shortly be provided with ■ comforts and facilities for bathors. I. O. G.

Rev, Robt. Lennie requested that tho lota un Agues street bo pnt up at auction without delay, as the Baptist congregation wished ttf aecuro a sito for a church.

Ever since the announcement that thu contract had beon let the Victoria Times bus been howling because the-work Wis not given by the government to a local firm, and both it and tho Standi! rd have been insinuating that there had been crookedness. A list of the tenders is published in Sunday's Cot- onist and, it scorns to us, furnishes a very complete answer lo the organs. The San Franoisco Bridgo Co.'s tondcr was 810,887, and tho lowest British Columbia tondor was £17,500. Under the circumstances the government could not consistently refuse tho contract tu tho lowest tender. It is a curious fact that the tenders wont as high as 833,125. Thr Fishing ExPEDmoH.-r-Capt. Pittendrigh, Mr. Mowat, and somo other gentlemen who accompanied them, returned from tho North Arm of Burrard Inlet ou Mondny. Besides large quantities of. craba .they brought samples of bream, rock cod, tommy cud, uud whiting, taken from the deep waters of the arm, No lobaters were found, although some atill supposo they'exist there. The water was so deep (in some places nearly 700 feet) that a proper search could not be made with the appliances taken by tho party, A small animal was captured which is believed to bo n young lobster, lt was loss than an inch in length, and not old enough to aflbrd any very reliable information. Mr. Mowat and Mr. Bole tuok careful soundings to ascortain tho temperature of tho waters. From the surface to a depth of 18 foot tho average temperature was 60. From 18 feet to 140 it was found to average 55. This is surprisingly high, and has led to the supposition that the warm Japanese currents go up the whole length of the inlot. The ground was found woll suited for lobster culture, und there was abundance of the different kinds of weeds upon which they delight to feed. Thero arc also excellent beds far oysters culture, but it would bo absolutely necessary to destroy the star fish which aro exceedingly plentiful everywhere. ' ♦ ■ ■ 3— * High School Honors.—Mr. H. M. Stramberg, M. A., principal of the high school in thii oity, received lut week from Montreal a letter giving tho results of the examination for matriculation and for the title of Associate in Arts in McGill university, Every one of the fivo pupils of our high school took a very creditable standing, Miss Margaret if, Murcliio passed for the Junior Certificate. Misa Mildred Major, although bIio failed to como up to tho standard for Associate in Arts, mnde a, suflloiont numbor of marks to entitle her to enter tho classes for tho higher education of women, Win. Mclnnes is entitled to enter ns a student in tho faculty of arts. The othor two pupils from the high school matriculated also. OF thom Sir William Dawson, in the lotter referred to, says: "Fred: Howay and Thos. Midlines passed for tho Associate iu Arts, the former with very high marks, ns ho will stand fourth on our list For the yoar," The tubulated results show that in fivo out of the eight optional subjects in whicli Mr. Howay was ux- amiiied he passed with honor, We aro sure overy person in und out of the sellout will bo gratified nt (he success achieved by those pupils. It shows that wo have first-class material for students, and that no one need go out of tho province, or beyond this city, to find facilities that will enable him to prepare For a regular university course. Mining News. In tho Kamloops Sentinel of last week wo tind n letter from Fnrwell and one from Granite Creek giving somo particulars respecting turning operations in these regions: ma hend. Tho Big Bend mining excitement, bo much moro talked of everywhere else than here, nevertheless is bringing a great number of people here, and when thoy have arrived and obtained whnt information they cau, instead of beiug discouraged, they hasten their fitting out and aro off to the Bend. The fuels nre that the find on McCulloch creek, a tributary to Gold creek, haa exceeded the most sanguine expectations of even the oldest miners in the country. Two ledge claims, tho "Barret" or "Humestnke," and a newly discovered but equally rich ledge, tlio "Molly" have produced rock that compares in richness with anything in tho history of the Pacific coast, and in the very richness of the find lies the strange anomaly nf men finding the richest kind of quartz uud not wishing to say anything ubout it. An assay of the quartz from these mines ia daily expected, hut so strong is the faith in these mines that one-ninth interest in the Barrett claim sold here for 81,200, and twu mure, all that woro available, huvo changed hands ou private terms. This claim is but a few hundred feet above the Molly ledge and separated by a small mountain stream, These mines far outstrip any discoveries of recent date anywhere, though men who have prospected hero for years aay: "We always knew it waa there." OHANITH CREEK. From 70 to 80 white men are now located and putting in wing dams lo work tho bed of creek for a distance of 4 miles from its mouth, the upper 3 milos of which ia a narrow canyon.

The rail ship James Drummond, of Bath, Maine, reached her berth at the railway wharf on the ovening of Friday last, and commenced discharging at noon on Saturday. The work of discharging has been going on must rigorously ever since. On Monday eveuing tho Gillert Toby -another rail ship nnd another Maine ship—arrived from England, and almost immediately began to discharge. Our little town had an invasion of local celebrities on Monday: Mr. ("Winnipeg") Robs, straight over From Winnipeg, via the C.P.R., wns hore with a portion of his family; Mr. Haney; Mr. Marcus Smith, and others of tho engineering staffs.

They all wont up the road to parts unknown. Several transfers of real estate have taken place within the current week. "The London Demonstration. London, Aug. 22.—Tho morality demonstration at Hyde Park this afternoon wus attended by an enormous crowd. At twenty minutes past four o'clock the meeting had equalled iu numburs the great assemblage which gathered at the samo placo some months ngo to make a demonstration in favor of the enlarged franchise bill. Thousands uf women wero in the crowd. Ono of thc wagons in tho procession carried twenty-four littlo girls dressed in white. These girls held aloft tt banner bearing the inscription, "Shall the innocent bo Slain ?"* Another curt carried a fuc simile uf tho Queen's letter to Mrs, Gen, Booth, approving uf the Salvation Army's work in rescuing girls from vice. The cast end contingent of the procession started towards Hydo Park promptly at four o'clock. This body had three bauds and carried sixty banners. All have inscribed on them such mottoes ns "Savo our Daughters," etc. The curt which carried the enlarged copy of the Queen's letter waa given tlie middle place iu tho Hue of the Eust-und contingent. This body hud in tho lino no less than 24 horse wagons. With tho exception of une bearing 24 girls under 13 years of age and dressed iu white, tho wagons were laden with women dressed in the deepest mourning. Tho vehicles themselves were all heavily draped with black. Following the wngous woro about 2,000 men oil foot. All traffic hud tu be suspended during the progress of tho procession along its entire route. The demonstration included temperance societies, Good Templars, Bund of Hope lodges, Salvation Army and various trndo societies, ladies' national aid societies, in wagons, and Young Men's Christian associations from nine sections of the metropolis, besides excursion parties from the provinces, numbering many thousands. Bauds headed each contingent, nud numberless banners were aurriud. Tun platforms were improvised nround the reform tree in Hyde Park. Resolu tions were pusacd simultaneously at nl the platforms, pledging the meeting to assist in enforcing the provisions uf the Criminal Amendment'Act. Tho weather wm fine, and the affair was a decided success. A large crowd was present, but the entire, proceedings were orderly. Tho bishop of London has issued, to be read in the churches of his diocese to-morrow, n stirring pastoral on tho protection of young girls. _~ One of the sights of the City of Hamilton is the factory in which thc celebrated "Myrtle Navy" tobacco is made. Some people may suppose that putting up plugs of tobacco must be a very simple matter, but a walk among the ponderous and complicated machinery of this establishment would speedily undeceive them. Here are hydraulic presses, screw presses, iron frames, all of enormous strength, besides a steam engine and many other pieces of machinery. iraifflBM A Natioxai^JSvil.—There Ib uo question hut thatr DyspopBla is the national disease of our country, and when com. plicated with diseases of the Liver and Kidneys is the cause of untold misery. Burdock Blood Bittern will almost invariably cure the worst case known. New York Society- There is a roport in society that Mrs. Wm, B. Aster hus become a temperance reformer. At least she seems to have determined on affording fewer opportunities tu the exceedingly temptnble young men who figure at her receptions, and at a recent ball furnished no cigars, wines or liquors in the dressing rooms, ns has beon tho custom in Now York society. The champagne wna served with various restrictive devices. It is also said that recent developments in Washington society are bringing about the decree that the punch bowl must go. Certain it is that society women are in many quarters giving great occasion fur the tear that drunkenness is invading the ranks of womanhood to a noticeable extent. A finely dressed nnd fine looking woman, accompanied by two pretty children, wus seen one day last woek, in tho oity, in & street car, and in so exhilarated a condition us to mako a most pitiful spectacle, A large amount of the drink consumed by women must be charged to tho licensed grocery stores.

Madrid, Aug. 20.—Tho only cleanly persons who have been attacked by the cholera scourge nre public oflicinls who are compelled to visit the hotbeda of infection. Many people nre returning to the city which they consider safer than the provinces. Tuesday's report shows there were 322 now cases aud loo deaths in the city of Granada and 1148 new cases and 12o deaths iu the province.

The sea was breaking heavily, causing the vessel to ground with tremendous forco. Sho was a total wreck almost from thc moment she struck, aa ill a few minutes later sho parted amidahip. Tlie officers unil crew- took to the water, and although thc distance to shore was not more than 2.10 yards, only one man and the hoy spoken of reached it alive. Thc captain and his remaining comrades must have been dashed to pieces against the sides of the vessel or drowned. The weather was bo thick that it wns impossible to discern anything n few yards oil", and as the captain hnd lost Ids chronometer in the storm near the equator, he could not lmvo had the laud, idea of hia situation or of hia close proximity to lnnd. The saved aoninnn and boy succeeded in reaching a house near tho point where they were this morning, but so utterly shattered and prostrated as to he unable to render nny account of the immediate cause of the disaster.

The fferald denies that Russia has made any kind of agreement with Corea. Madrid, Aug. 22.—Irritation against Germany increases hourly. The official press is more indignant over the seizure of tho Caroline islands tian tho opposition press. Newspapers generally advocate reprisals. Count Vou Sohne Sonuewalde, German ambassador to Spain, now abstains from attending theatres and public promenades and places of amusements. It .is scmi-ofli- cially stated that the government intends to rupture the commercial and diplomatic relations existing between Germany and Spain unless Germany abandons her claim to the Carolines. Senor Carvajol in an address before the Spanish - African Society to - day denounced Ckrmahy for trespussing upon Spanish rights. The society has decided to reassemble and pass resolutions demanding tlint Spain take energetic action against Germany's occupation of the Caroline Islands. Prince Bismarck's reply to the Spanish protest is considered evasive and unsatisfactory although he professes tn be willing to submit the claims to thc examination of arbitrators, Madrid, Aug. 22,—The condition of Granada remains unfavorable, Hundreds of people are attacked by cholera iu a single street nearly every day. There arc no doctors and no authorities to look after those who, after passing through their agonies in streets, expire unattended in the gutters. Most of the unaffected populace have find and the few healthy citizens that remain aro disheartened and apathetic. Corpses remain uneotfincd and unidentified, The very misery wrought bythe plague has become a nuisance. There wore 4,480 new cases of cholera and 1,441 deaths reported throughout Spain yesterday.

I Miles Under ttie Sea. Iliiny curious forms of fishes have recently been found in the deep sea, One lish, dredged from a depth of nearly three miles from the surface, shows a complete modification of structure. At this distance from the surface tho pressure can hardly be realized. It is estimated that this tish has to contend against a pressure equal to two and u hnlf tons to every square inch of surface. A sealed glass tube, enclosed in a perforated copper covering, hat been nt two milea reduced tu fino powder, while the metal waa twisted out of shape. Yet the fidhes are so constructed that they withstand tlie pressure. Their bony and muscular systems are not fully developed; the bonea are permeated with - pores nnd tiasurea. Tlie calcareous nutter ib at a minimum, nud the bones uf the ver* tobriu uro joined together so loosely thut in lifting tliu larger fishes out of tho wuter thuy often fall apart. The nitiBoles are all thin and the connective tissue seems almost wauling. Yot tin si; fishes arc able tn dart about and capture prey. Sunlight penetrate) only knout 1,200 fuet li.'low tlie surface of the sea. At 3,000 feet the temperature lowers tu 40 Fahrenheit, and from about a mile from the surface to thu bottom, four or live miles, the temperature is nbout the same the world over—just abovo freezing* How do the fishes und oilier forms that livo hero see? Their uyua are modified as well ns their other parts. Thu fishes thut live 500 fuet from iho surface have larger eyea than those in thc /.ouo above thom, so that they can absorb the faint rays that reach thom. In tho zone below thia many forms with email eyes begin to have curious tentacles, feelers, or organs of touch. Many of these deep sea fishes have special organs upon tlieir sides and heads thnt aro known to possess a luminous quality. Other organB aro considered accessory eyes, so that the fishes hnvo rows of oyos upun tlieir ventral surfaces looking downward, while near nre luminous spots that provide them with light. Ouo uf the most ferocious of these deop sea forms is the Ohanllodus. Its mouth is fairly overflowing with teeth that prut rude in a most forbidding manner. The fins are all tipped with flaming spots, while along the dorsal surface extends a mw of spots that appear liko so many windows in tho fish, through whieh light is shining. The little tishes called Bombay ducks are luminous over thoir entire surface, and when numbers are collected together they present an astonishing spectacle. One of the most interesting of these light-givers is the Chlasmodus, a Famous Funerals. Two long years were consumed in the formidable preparations for the funeral of Alexander the Great. Dy- ut Babylon, he directed that hia body, which was immediately embalmed with elaborate caro by Egyptian and Chaldean adepts, ahould be deposited in the Temple of Jupiter on nn Egyptian, oasis. Undeterred by the enormous distance, the procession set forth, an nrmy of workmen having been sent forward to repair the roods and bridges. The fun oral-car was drawn by sixty-four nudes, chosen for their slrength and me, splendidly caparisoned. The car itself was of surpassing magnificence, the spokes and naves of tho wheels and ends of the axles being-covered with gold, tho platform upholding the royal pavilion iucrusted With gems, supporting a throne and a coffin, the latter of solid gold and filled witli costly apices. But the body never reaohed its destination. Ptulmey urn-Bted its progress and buried it at Alexandria, which city may be said to have itself proved the enduring monument of the conqueror, s; Very different was tho funeral of Julius Crosar. The circumstances of his death wore so tragic, and such enormous crowds gathered to tho ceremony, that they could not be formed into a procession, and tho different classes of people were accordingly askod to como together under their appropriate insignia in tho Field of Mars, The body of the great Roman was exposed lying upon a gilded bed, covered with scarlet and cloth of gold, and placed under a magnificent canopy in the form of a temple. After the funeral ceremonies wero over, a question arose where they should burn the body, Some suggested" a reiuple on Cupitoline lull, others suggested the Senate House where he had fallen. The Senate, less willing to pay him extraordinary hunors, proposed a more retired spot. The discussion was fast becoming a dispute, when two soldiers, with drawn swords and bla/.ing torches in their hands, forced their wny through tho crowd and sot lire to the'bed. In a moment there was the wildest excitement. Tho multitude fell to work directly building tho funeral pyre upon the spot. First thoy brought fngots nud then benches from the neighboring porticos, and next any combustible material they could find, and at length, as the excitement grew, the soldiers threw in their arms, the musicians their instruments, while others stripped down and threat- upon tho Humes the trappings of tho funeral procession. So fierce was the tire that it spread to tho neighboring houses, and was only with the greatest difficulty extinguished. As a fitting monument, the people erected to thc "Mighty Julius" a lofty col limn surmounted by a star. Coming down to modem times, the accounts of tho obsequies of tho "Iron Duke," perhaps the greatest ovor known in England, and the sec oud funeral of Napoleon must still bo borne freshly in mind by miiuy of the veterans of to-day. The Duko of Wellington, after lying in state five days nt Chelsea Hospital, was borne to his lust resting place in St. Paul's on a car drawn by twelve horses, accompanied by u vnst military and civic concourse, the latter including Prince Albert, both houses of parliament, judges, ViobliM,. public bodies, thu mourning coaches if thu Queen and royal family and au innumerable throng of the people. Napoleon's funeral, as a parade, remains un paralleled iu our times. The cherished remains of their hero having been received by tho French from the Eiglish nineteen years after his death, it was not so much n funeral as a vast triumphal procession that followed, during which ull France resounded wiih boomm-* cannon, tolling belts nnd strains of martial music, while the excited people lined (ho banks uf the Seine nnd filled the air with fruirzied shouts nnd cries nnd sobs of joy und grntnlation. Thc resources of the funeral nit wore exhausted upon the pageant, and the imagination is unable to distinguish the details uf a procession in which thu cutafulco, the central object of interest, was borne on a moving mound of gold and velvet drawn by sixteen black horses und guarded and escorted, it is said, by an army of 150,000 soldiers. Compared with theso splendors thn quiet uud simple funeral riles of our own Washington, so befitting republican simplicity nud the character of him who was, nevertheless, ''tirst in the hearts of his countrymen." A gathering of the dignitaries of tho neighboring town of Alexandria, with the militia and Freemasons, his friends and neighbors, his own wnr horse, duly oaparisoued, led in fho midst, one vessol in tho river hard by tiring minute guns, and the whole procession confined to his own private grounds, where his tomb was made and still is.—Boston Advertiser, Nokb Bkitub. — There is no more wholesome or delicious fruit on earth than the Wild Strawberry, aud there is no more effectual remedy for Cholera, Dysentery, Cramps and other summer complaints of infants or adults, than Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, Btsisyireciy.

Old SHuch- lielcl lias grown rich on it; and it seems strange to me that lie ahould want to sell it, even if ho was ton old to work on it himself. Ho is able to hire all the money lie needs, and loy up money besides. But that's none of our business. The question with us is whether we shall take it or not." "I don't believo it would be for the best, after all.'' Farmer Grover stared at his wife in astonishment, uot unmixed with displeasure, "Why not?" lie asked rather sharply. "Because,"—-mid the placid, motherly face seemed suddenly to have assumed a shrewd, far seeing look as she said, steadily—"it is too near the tavern—only over the way, and I don't believe that tho influence of such a place will be for Rood******to tho hoys, especially," The farmer Implied a little scornfully—"Just liko a woman—always seoing buttbeara when nobody else would think of thom; and his air and tone were ilockloilly am descend ing as ho said, in reply to her scruples: "That's juat nolhiny at nil agniiint the place in my eyes. Why, Stock- bright kcops as peaceable, orderly a house as you'll seldom See; And even if he didn't the hoys will have eiioujrh to keep them busy at home, to say nothing of their being good, orderly boys, lit to bu trusted anywhere." "Lead us not into temptation," repeated his wife, solemnly, ^ "I tell you, husband, our boys are juat liko all other boys in their, desire to hear something new; und tins vory la vein would bu sure to attract thom." "Well, what if it does? Thuy won't be likely to ace or henr anything very bad id a quiet country lavern. I'll risk them.". "Can a man touch Gi'o and nut bo burned?" persisted the mother. "There aru nlwnya n set of idlers and loafoi'3 about a country tavern, who if not actually vicious, are not the men whoso - influence On unsuspecting, homo bred boys would be for good." "I don't see any use in borrowing troublo any way," growled the farmer, as ho carefully raked up lhe glowing embers of the fire, covering them with ashes, preparatory to retiring fur the night. "I nover did believo in meeting trouble halfway." "That's just what I'm afraid wo Bhould bo doing iu buying this Stinch- lield fur ui," was the gravi reply; and for ouce Mrs. drover had tho "last word." The morning came, and with it young Ben Stinchfield, an idle, worthless sort of a fellow, whom everybody predicted would he the ruin of bis doting old father, who although be groaned over the bills that wero presented to him, had not the nerve and determination to check the boy in his courso of reckless extravagance, "Well, Orover," he remarked briefly1 after the U3uul salutations, "what nbout that trade of outsJ Tlm old mun had au offer yesterday, of a hundred morn than I offered it to ymi for, und he was for jumping at tho offer, but I told him you had the refusal of it, and it wouldn't bo fair to sell bufure we'd seen you uj-ain." "Well—really—no—!" Ho spoke hesitatingly, but tlmyonng man eagerly interposed: "You'd belter take it. Tho fact is, if I had only boen cut out for u fanner, I might have run the place, now thnt the old man is too old to work. But T could never bring myself to it; and I think it's better to sell tho plncu, even at a sacrifice, than to half work- it." The fanner inuseil thoughtfully. "Is it a good neighborhood',"' hu asked at length, "First rate—tip top! Why there's old Deacon Ingas on ono side and Squire Drummond on the oth or—likely folks, and us good neighbors ns you'll tind anywhere. But como— what do you sayl Wo must sottlo it somehow this morning, for the other man is waiting for his answer." "I'll take it." The die was cast; and although Mis. Grover looked gravo and anxious when hIio heard hor husband's decision, she made no useless objections, only smiling indulgently at her children's outspoken pleasure nud satisfaction. There wure some tears shed to be sure, on quitting the dear old home for ever, and Radio gathered the bulbs and roots from her pet flower beds with many a sigh, and she thought of the unpromising front yard of thoir new home, with only a fow straggling lilacs among tha rank wild grass with whicli it was over-run. But that was merely a question of time, and before a year bad gono by the good taste and industry that had made so bright a spot of the old home had gone fur toward beautifying and adorning the noiv. Mra. Slookbrinht, the landlady across the way, had proved herself a kind and obliging neighbor, and although rather rough and uncultivated iu her way, her good natured cordiality waa accepted as an offset by Roche especially, who seemed to Iind a pleasant fascination In hur society, at whicli oven her fathor sometimes wondered. "She is one of tho best-hearted souls in the world," was thu usual declaration with whicli the young girl met her mothur's gentle remonstrances; and on one occasion she added impulsively and with a slrnn-jje. angry flush upon her face; "If she don't make any pretensions tn extra goodness, she is certainly much moro charitable in her judgment of others than some who call themselves Christians, and forget that thoir Bible itself telli; them that 'charily tbinketh no evil.' " It was a little odd, but that very evening, glancing from thc window nf his room, the farmer saw ids daughter in company with a young man returning from a call upon hor friend opposite; and as tho two Hngered at the gate, talking in low earnest tones, the bright moonlight rovonlcd to his gaze the handsome hut evil face of Bun Stiuchtield, It wai nut a pleasant discovery; and n sad foreboding tilled his heart when, in answer to his oxpressud disapproval, Radio only answered with a burst of toui'B, preserving, meanwhile, an obsignate Hiloncu, far more ominous in lior case than words could lmvo boon. He wna not onu to borrow trouble, as lie repeated ofteiior and of tenor to himself, and yet his heart sank within him when, one evening as thuy sat alone togothor - they weru almost always *1 one evenings now—his wifo remarked, anxiously: "I am sorry that John is about Iho stable over there so much, ffo always wm fond of n horse, but sinco wu camo hero his liking hqoiiih to have grown to a regular passion, and ho spendi ovory spare moment in helping tho hostler to groom and feed them." "Well, what of it?" He knew all this himself, but ho wm not going to My io, and his wife's face and tone grew sadder yet as she answered: "Ynu must have seen for yourself, David, how much lie has changed for the worse Binco we came here. I don't know why it is, but this constant association with brutes seems, somehow, to have roughened liim—to have made hiin moro of an animal and less of a man. I used to liko to seo him pet old Dobbin and thc colts when wu lived on tho other place, and he never seemed any the worse for it. But now all his talk is about this or that horse's points, and how far it can bo mado to go in a given time. It don't seem to be so much of affection for thc poor animals as a selfish desiro to make tho most of their strength and muscle." Just then tho subject of_ thoir conversation entered and, tossing his hat itf'a cornor, sat moodily down boforo thc lire, into which he gazed with a half frown, as if thoroughly dissatisfied with himsolf and his surroundings. The farmer himself lirst broke silence. "John," hu said, gravely, "do you realize that you're oue and Iwouty to-morrow?1 "I know it, of course," wns the curt rejoinder. He had grown strangely disrespectful of late, nnd his parents, if they had said imtliiny, had felt it done the less keenly. "1 was going to say," resumed the fanner, with an effort, "that I had long since made up my mind to offer you, when thu time caiuo, a shave in the farm. We can work together and divide onr gains equally, or"—noticing the gathering frown upon his sou's facu— "anyway that suits you best, for I only want my living out of it. All that 1 have will be my children's ono of theso odd days." John hesitated a moment, and thon answered firmly: "I have made up iny mind to give up fanning, and go into something thai. I like bettor." A sharp pang of disappointment piureod the father's heart, but he managed to ask with tolerable calmness— "what aro you thinking of doing i" "I've engaged hs drive a team for Stnckbright for tho presont, and if I uver should get enough ahead, 1 menu to go-to the city and open a livery j stable. It's the height of my ainbi- tton to havu tho fastest stud of horses in B-i—, and I will havo them too, if 1 livo long enough." And as week after week passed by, and hu saw him growing tnoru coarse and profane amid his now surroundings and associates, his aching heart sent up day by day its weary cry for patience to bear this heavy burden. Thu farm had proved productive, oven beyond his expectations; and when lhe golden harvest days weru over, when burns aud graneriea seoniud bursting with, their overflowing treasures, thdn for a time, the proud husbandman, exulting in his success, forgot I113 troubles, aud summoning his neighbors from far and near, commenced preparations for one of thu greatest huakiiig-partics that had ever been scun in Thinroe. And tho evening came, the neighbors assembled, and all was mirth nnd jollity, while thu fanner's heart beat high with pride and triumph as he listened to the complimentary remarks of his guests upon his Bkill and industry. "Old Stinchlield was a pretty fair farmer, but ho never raised such a crop as this iu all his life," were the words that, morn than once reachud his ears, producing a corresponding fueling of exultation in the listener; who, as ho walked proudly up the path that led to the houso on some trivial errand, felt himself, in every bone and muscle of his stout frame, a true monarch of the soil, "What is this?" ho asked, as hastily pushing open the kitchen door, ho camo suddenly upon his wife and daughter, thu latter in tears, while her mothor looked grave and somewhat puzzled, ho thought, as he repeated tho question, "What is tho trouble, wire? Anything gone wrong.-"' Mrs. Grover half smiled at her husband's anxious face us she replied: "It was Radio's dress—that's all. I reproved hur for wearing that thin whito muslin, when her now brown thiliet would havu beeu so much more suitable, Aud instead of answering mu shu began to sob and cry, just as if I'd said something really unkind and cruel." "Poor child! She's all tirud out, and it makes hur nurvous. But 1 ran iu to say that you'd better umko tho coffee pretty soon, for they'll bu ready for supper before long now. Radio, you may—" But Budhc was gone. She had slipped out after hu camo in; and with a promise lo send both her nnd Wesley in to help to finish tho preparations for supper, the farmer went back to his guests. Wesley was found, but Radio was iiowhure to be seen, and concluding that alio must already have returned to thu houso, her father troubled himself uo more about tho matter. But when the confusion attendant upon serving the supper and clearing thu great barn Hours, preparatory to the danco that whb expected to come off there, was over, thu farmer began to wonder at his daughter's nun-appear* anco—a wonder that was changed into anger as, at thu tirst sound of thu musician's violin, he saw her approaching to take her place among the dancers, Iciiuiuo on the arm of Bun Stinchfield. Tho hot, angry blood fltiBhod the farmer's faco as lm noted the air of cosy ell'rontory with which the young man euturcd, uninvited, his neighbor's premises, nor was his anger lessoned at iho si-jIit of his daughter's pale cheeks and downcast eyes, as she languidly kept timu lo the inspiriting music. "It's the hiat timo ho'll ever Bot foot in my house," ho muttered to himself; and with an effort ho set himself to wnrk to entertain, iu his homely, hear.y, country fashion, tho fow elderly friends who yot lingered lo sue tho young people at (heir sports. But one by one, those dropped off, and ho stood alone just outside the great barn doors, through which a broad bund of light streamed across tho path boyond; and as hn stood there, silent and thoughtful, out info that illuminated space came the two whose faces haunted hiin continually for thu last two hours, fie saw tho arm about bis dnilghtbr'8 waist, tho warm kisses upon her lips, while upon the still night air hu could distinguish ft murmur of on* couruguuient and tenderness. Tn n moment he wus beside thein; his hand iMUBped the young man's shoulder with a grip like iron, ns he fairly ground his set teeth: " Vou raucul! Didn't I l ell you never to sot foot in my house again?" "That was some timo ngo; and relationship makes nil the difference in tho world. "It's a foul bird lhat will befoul its own nest, Father Grover." (Concluded on Hutimlay.)
