The small, yeliowisli variety are cotisklem! more dangerous and thoir bite is most upprehend- ed at mid-day. In Durango they are black, and so alarmingly numerous—having been allowed to breed for centuries in the deserted mines- that tho Gorernmcnt offers a reward per head (or rather per tail) to whoever will kill them. There sting is seldom fatal, but it is more or less sovere, according to the state of the system. Victims have been known to remain for days in convulsions, foaming at the mouth, with stomach swelled as in dropsy, while others do not suffer much more than from a bee sting. The common remedies are brandy, taken in sufficient quantities to stupify the patient, ammonia administered both externally and internally, boiled milk and guaiacum. It is also of uso to press a large key or other tube on the wound to force out part of the poison. — Soston Transcript. It was a long time before Friday came, and I began to think that he was going to disregard my summons, and was getting angry, when ho suddenly put in an appearance. I explained to him what I wished to know, and without the slightest hesitation he snid to tho venerable arrow maker: "Tell my brother all about the poisoned arrows." "Well," said the old mail, "first wo take a bloated yellow rattlesnake in Aug. ust, when ho is most poisonous, and tie him with a forked stick to a stake; then wc tease him until he is in a great rage. This is done by passing a switch over his body from his head to his tail, When he threshes the ground with his body and his eyes grow bright and sparkle like dia inonds, we kill a deer, antelope or some othor small animal, and tearing out the liver throw it to the snake while it is warm and the blood is still coursing through it. The rep- tile will strike it again and again, and pretty soon it will turn back. When he tires the snake is teased again, and he is induced to sink his fangs into the soft flesh until all tho poison has beon extracted from him and tho liver is leaking with it. He is then killed, and the liver lifted with a sharp pole, for so dangerous is it no one dares to touch it The liver is let lie for about an hour, when it will be jet black und emit a sour smell. Arrows aro then brought and their iron heads pushed into the liver up to the shaft. They are left sticking there for about an hour and a half, when they are withdrawn and dried in the sun. A thin glistening yellow soum adheres to the arrow, and if it so much as touches raw flesh it is certain to poison to death." I asked if Indians still used poisoned arrows. "No," he replied, "no man, Indian or white man, for years past has been shot with these arrows, ane they ard no longer mado."—Omaha Republican, Wire cloth is an articlo whioh has but recontly been brought into general use. For a long timo its high cost excluded its use for almost every purpose, but for articles with at least some claims to being ornamental. The windows and door screens of former days were usually mdno of cotton netting, dyed in fancy colors, and warranted not to last more than a season even with the utmost care. Tlie few wire screens that were used were articles of such luxury that they generally bore a painted landscape or other pictorial representation to indicate more strikingly their aristocratic character. The housekeeper who would have, inserted such soreens in every window of his dwelling would have been an object of wonder to an entire community for his colossal extravagance. Closely woven wire cloth was then used for a few purposes, principally for serves and cellar-window guards, but tlie total quantity so used in a year in the entire country was insignificant. Now, however, the wire cloth industry, including the manufacture of large meshed netting, is a very important adjunct of the wire trade, enormous quantities of such goods being made nnually in quite a considerable number of fuotories, Tlie increased uso of wire cloth and its gradual reduction in price have gone hand in hand, every rocont year seeing moro and more dwelling houses furnished with screens for wimdowsand doors, not only in mosquito-ridden districts, but in localities whoso greatest insect pest is the ordinary house fly. Their general introduction has also been greatly facilitated by the efforts of ingenious and wide-awake nianu* facturcrs to provide the means of making the necessary frames at low cost, and with n minimum of mechanical skill. From all these causes, and not beeause flies and mosquitoes aro greater pests than ever before, the present season has witnessed the most active demand for wire cloth over known.—Iron Aye. THE NEWS. lix-I'rcinicr Olbson Interviewed— Anglo-French Complications— Serious Tunnel Accident- Fisheries Question. By Associated Press. WALTER OIBSON IKTEBVIEWED. San Fhancisco; Aug. 9.—Walter Murray Gibson, late premier of the Hawaiian government, is .till in tha city, but says he will return in a short time to Honolulu, despite the opposition of the revolutionary or constitution party to him. Some criticism having been passed upon his statement that the U. S. government would not like the course that affairs had taken in Honolulu. He was asked by au as seriated press reporter what the attitude of the 17. S. government was or its designs were toward tho Hawaiian Islands. Gibson said in reply, the American govornment had been compelled to take cognizance of tbo fact that the Gorman and English government, have been steadily endeavoring to improve their position on tho Pacific. Great Britain was in possession of the Fiji Islands and Germany had her eye upon the Samoan group. "Samoa has," said the aged ex-premier, "two contending sovereigns,"Malietoo, undoubtedly tho rightful sovereign and recognized as auch by tho United Status, aud Tamasscsso, a.pretender, who is supported by German .influence and with guns supplied by German merchants and thereby able to maintain an armed opposition. The contention of these two chieftains has in- terferrcd with the business of the country to such an extent that the United States, Great Britain and Germany have so far interfered as to send commissioners to investigate, and their report has resulted in a conference at Washington to decide upon what course is best to pursue Germany desires to taKe the harbor, leaving the U. S. and Great Britain each to take 'one. Mr. Gibson said he believed it to be the policy of the United States to preserve tho autonomy ol Poly- nesaia and whenever it is possible to promote self-government in the islands. The Hawaiian government had stepped in lo afford Samoa settled government. Samoa having proposed an act oF confederation with Hawaiia, he believed the United States looked upon thi. movement with favor, but the revolution at Honolulu had interrupted thi. diplomatic scheme, Samoa as a consequence, might fall under the Gorman control. Whether the U. S. would seek to prevent this he would not uy. He believed the U. S. would stand out firmly againBt any other foreign control of the Hawaiia than her own, if it came to that, but sho really desired the autonomy of all the islands of the Pacific COMri.ICAIlONS BETWEEN BRITAIN AND VBANCE. Paris, Auj. ').—LeParis announces that the English government has requested of M. Flourons, minister of foreign affairs, that Franco name tho date of the evacuation by France of tho New Hebrides, and that M. Flourons in reply declined to do so until France shall be informed of the nature of England's policy in regard lo Egypt and as to tho neutralization of the Suez Canal. London, Aug. 9.—Sir J. Ferguson, parliamentary seoretary of foreign affairs, stated in the commons thi. afternoon that England had never acquiesced to the presence of French troops iu the New Hebrides. He added the English government were unwilling to believe that iho French occupation of Iho New Hebrides would long continue and declared that the govcrnmont would in no wise consent that the withdrawal of tho Fronch from the New Hebrides should be postponed until an agreement respecting neutralization of Ihe Suez Canal had been readied.

The CoUingwood Bulletin tells us tbat "thirty tumors' institutes of Ontario have declared for unrestricted reciprocity, and only one against it," and it adds: "This result has been secured without organized attempt to boom the movement, and under tho direction of no jnfluence save the manifest interests of the agricultural population." When commercial union wns first proposed, it was believed the farmers of eastern Canada would not generally endorse it, but the unanimity of their desire for it is quite remarkable. Farming in Ontario of late years has not been profitable. Tho cost of working farms is large, while tho product is uncertain and tho prices aro unsteady. It is ovi- dent that farmers have come to the conclusion that unrestricted reciprocity would open up larger markets for much of their produce, and enable them to got a larger percentage of profit As a rule, agricultural implements and many kinds of clothing and groceries would become cheaper under reciprocity, and if in addition to this the market of the United States were thrown open to the producers of Canada, it is thought the effect would be advantageous. The agricultural vote in Oanada is very large, and tho attitude of the farmers on the question of commercial union is something whioh political parties cannot afford to treat with indifference. Bloodthirsty Frenchmen. (Jen. Boulanger's conduct in challenging M. Ferry because the latter severely censured him in a political speech may lie considered the correct thing among Paris nabobs, but it does not meet with much sympathy on this continent. The days were when chivalry demanded blood in satisfaction for insult real or supposed, and it is wonderful how the customs of barbarism sometimes cling to the world's history. But surely the practice of duelling is of all customs the most foolish. It cannot heal a man's wound to inflict a wound upon another. Stripped of sentiment, and tho coloring of false bravery und fictitious glory, what possible circumstances can justify two men deliberately standing up in cold blood with pistols in their hands endeavoring to take each other's lives! The Boulanger-Ferry duel seems to have bung fire so long that it will probably be abandoned. One or both of the principals will probably be branded by a great many impulsive Frenchmen with the stinging epithet "coward!" But true bravery is more often found opposed to the demands of society than sacrificing itself to fashion. A man may require a great deal of courage to stand up as a target for the bullet of an enemy, but probably it requires more to face the jeers of one's country and submit to be branded as a coward. It comes to this after all, that most men are cowards at heart, and they choose the horn of the dilemma where the demand for true bravery will be least. Gen. Boulanger finds it easier to stand before the pistol of his enemy than to brave the taunts of a deluded mob. He chooses the duel, therefore, because he was too much of a coward to face the other. Road Work. In some ot the municipalities of this district we notice that tenders an now being uked for important pieces of road work. In some coses these tenders cannot be accepted and the work got under way before September, and then one may begin to look for broken weather and possibly a great deal of rain. We hnve pointed out over and over again the folly and impolicy of the practice which has to largely prevailed of pitting off road work until the best part of the season bas passed. The provincial government not long ago yielded to far in this matter as to cany over a portion of the sum appropriated for road work to the following season so that it could be immediately available at early as it was needed in the spring. This policy hat enabled the government to take up road work much earlier than heretofore, and the result is certain to be vottly to the interest of the province. But tome of the municipalities teem slow to profit by an experience that has been both long and expensive. No one knows belter than members of the municipal councils how great a mistake it it to pnt off road work until after August A dollar spent in Jnne is worth two dollar) spent in September. Betides, road work should be given out at a time when farmers have the best opportunities for undertaking it If it is left until the time of harveat, the work will be more likely to go into the liands of outtidert, and it will be apt to cost more bocaute there will be fewer tender..

Je80to THE BRITISH COLUMBIAN Printing Company (LIMITED.) ON THE 10TH OP JANUARY, 1887, tho Columbian Newspaper and Printing Concern was purchased by a joint stock company composed of citizeim cf New Westminster, to he known as tbo "British Columbian Printing Co., Limited." The concern lias been for nearly a year owned and controlled by tlio British Columbia Stationery and Printing Company, of Now Westminster, Victoria and Vanoouver. The object of tlio new company Is to continue tho pub. Ueatlon of the British Corimman newspaper and carry on a general printing and publishing concern, controlled entirely by thoso whose Individual interest it will be to promote tho development, especially of the Mainland. There will bo no slackening of the energy hitherto displayed In the management of tho establishment, and its patrons may rely upon receiving full value for their money, The Columbian will continue to be entirely independent lu both Dominion and provincial politics, and will devote Itself to the advancement of such schemes as may be considered in the public Interest. The concern Is now entirely separate from any other business, the book and stationery establishment in this city having been taken over by Hr. T. It, Pearson, who will continue to carry it on in hli own namo and for his own benefit. It ti desirable that a dally newspaper should be maintained in this eity, and the new company asks for publio patronage on tho ground that It is engaged in an enterprise calculated to promote the publio welfare. It asks that the Columbian be judged on its owu merits and supported only so long as ita policy Is enoonslatt with its professions, In con- sequence of this business change all ao- conuts duo the concern must be settled without delay ao that tho books of tho former company may bo adjusted and closed.

From a statement presented to tho Vancouver council on Monday night it seems that the expenditures of the corporation for the tint six montns of this year amounts to $30,240.42. A mill-hand named Starratt, of the Brunette ww mill, had one of hie finger, almost amputated by allowing it to come in collision with a small bench aaw whioh was running at the time. , Work on the Scoullar-Armstrong building has been at a standstill all day. Manahan Bros., who have the contract for supplying the bricks, have exhausted their supply. They expeot, however to open a new kiln to-day. In another column will bo found the time card of the stage between this city and Whatcom, in Washington Territory. Thi. stage makes the round trip once a week, and will be f.und very convenient for persons who have business in that direction. Consignees per str. William Irving: H. Bros., 33 sacks potatoes; O.

No Action.— Tho snng bont Samson still lies idle at this city, and nothing has been done towards placing the buoys iu proper-position at tbe mouth of the river, Until somo serious disaster occurs we suppose tbe present condition nf inaction will continue to prevail. Gone Homk.—The Vancouver pic- nicora who visitod tho oity yesterday, returned to their homo about 7 o'clock last night. The excursionists numbered about 100, tho greater number belonging thnt olass of folks known as juveniles. They soy thoy spent a very pleasant time in tho city, nnd were muoh charmed with tho pretty private residences and green gardens of tho royal city. ,. . . Nebiiud Rhi-aius. — Somo stops should be taken by tho board of works to have lower Douglas st put in re- respectable repair. Its present state is very unsatisfactory. Tho high wator has left a mass of rotten timber and debris, which under tho scorching rays of the sun, is beginning to putrify and give forth a disagreeable cdor. A railing should also be placed along Front st. at this point as thero is nothing to prevent any one from falling ovor into the mud beneath. Tub Wilder Co.—To-morrow night for the first time the citizens of Westminster will hnve an opportunity of listening to the Wilber Dramatic Co. The company carries its own scenery, and pavilion theatre. The tent will be pitched on the vacant lots on the corner of Mary nnd Agnes Bt. Seating capacity for BOO people will bo provided. The company numbers 30 people, many of whom are well known upon the stage. The programme for tomorrow night will be Bartley Campbell's "Galloy Slave" U. S. iMMiiriiANis.—Tho official reports state that during tho twelve months ending June 30th, 1887, the number of emigrants who landed in tho United States was 484.110. Of these 106,551) canto from Germany, 74,020 from England nnd Wales and 08,130 from Ireland. It now alleged that very mnny of the emigrants must, from ono cause or another, becomo a burden to tho State, nlthough there was probably very little difforenco on the whole between the emigrants of last yaor und tlioso of any year for tho lost dozen or twonty years, Tho number of emigrants in 1880 was 328,8110. . . . ., . A Sporting Man ?—We have heard some comment about tho shooting of two grouse yesterday on the Port Moody rond by a prominent Dominion government official, who nt present resides at Moody und drives in nnd out daily. Wo aro inclined to believe that tho shooting was dono in ignor- nnce of the foot that tlie open season doeB not begin until September 1st— at least that is the most charitablo view. But for the fact that the said official evidently did not understand the mechanism of breech loading guns, and was thirty-four minutes in ejecting a shell, he doubtless would havo killed many more. Cricket and Base Ball.—In the Columbian of last night un item appeared stating thnt a mooting would be hold at 7 o'clock to-night, in tho office of Mr. J. S. Clute, to consider tho formation of a cricket and brine ball club ou a permanent basis. Wc hope the meeting will be largely attended, and that the object contemplated may be accomplished. Hitherto this city has been very far behind many other places in the province with respect to such things. One of the chief reasons, we presume, hns been the lack of suitable grounds upon which to play. That lack is likely now to bo supplied, since it iB probable that the park will be set apart by tho government, ns wns originally intended, for the UBe of the city. Every encouragement ought to be given to such exorcises ns cricket and buse ball. They aro "clean" games, uud afford excellent recreation to our young men. Thore is muoh good material in tlie city for the formation of such nn organization, and it is hoped that tho gathering to-night mny be a representative meeting. —. ,—• -♦. , The DisallowedRailwav.—Speaking of the Red Volley Railway, the Winnipeg Sun of 7th inst. says: "Thero has been no interruption in the work of ^construction, and no further manifestation of an intention to interfere on the part either of the Dominion government or of the Canadian Pacific Itailway Company. Tho work, in fact, has progressed to such an extent, and the province has assumed such obligations, as would seem to indicate that the enterprise cannot now be stopped by any obstruction, and must at all hazards be brought to a practical completion, und in using tho latter term we mean not only the laying of the rails and the equipment with rolling stock, but its operation free from any obstruction for the purpose for which it was built. It is not likely, tbat once the province hu built tho road, that anything will be attempted to deprive it of practical effect, but should any thing of that kind be done the province can at least make thing, very uncomfortable for the Canadian Pacific company. This it cau do by removing the exemption of its property from taxation, and involving an expenditure upon its part estimated at 1500,000 per annum. It is perhaps M well to remember that the making of reprisals is a game that more than one can play at. A new theory of the final description of «he earth is that tho polar iee is pentrating the interior of the globo like a wedge, and that as soon iib it readies tho furnace there will be an oxplosion that will split tho world into piccos too small for truck patches. The William Irving arrived from Chilliwhaok ond way ports at 1:30 to- Gospel and Oil Cans.—Last overling a gentleman who has beon for some timo engaged in evangelistic work in tbo United States began preaching on eornerof Columbia and McKenzie sts., in front of tho Grotto saloon. After ho had beon speaking a short time un aged woman appeared on tho piazza of the saloon boating an oil can with all her might. She wns assisted by somo boys, nnd for n time tho din was terrible.

Last year, during the heavy rains, when every stream was Bwollon to its utmost, the writer had occasion to Yinit ono of tho swamp plantations lying somo milcH below Augusta on the Snvunnah River.

Arriving nt a gentleman', place whom wo knew we told him wo woro sorry thut the high water would keep us from inspecting his lino swamp timber, having gone there for that purpose. To our Bupprise ho told us thnt this noed not interfere in the least, and that ho had on old grey mule that new the swamps better than ho or any ono else, and that wo could rido her, ond if trouble eamo, whether wo got lost or water-bound, we must givo her tho rein and she would bring us home safe; that sho could walk u log as good ns a dog; thut he had on several occasions whon theso freshelB came (his cnttlo being in the swamps nnd in groat danger of. being drowned) sont this mulo aftor thorn, saying, "Julie, go bring the cows home." The mule, Booming 16 understand, would at onoo start for the swamp. Thia mule lias been known to cross a log when it could not be seen, being two or three feet below the surface.
