It is am it a ing to observe tlie lu dioro-aff attempts Sometimes mnde by tbe organs to present Mr. Beaven in the light of the "Farmer's Friend." It must be admitted that our statute- books bear prima facie evidence of his claim to that appellation. Foe instance, it was he who invented the ingenious method by which, with the arbitrary stroke of the pen, twenty- five tier cent, was added to the farmer's debt, and eighteen per cent, interest charged thereon. Huppily the Dominion Government intervened and sta&ped out that piece of heartless ex tori-ion which would hnvo brought the blush of shame to Shy- lock's cheek. ]t was lie who, lnuill:- ed by Federal interposition, conceived the idea of mating the farmer's indebtedness delinqtisi t on the 30th June, and instantly adding some thirty per cent, thereto. But here, again, the Federal authorities interposed to prevent a Minister from perpetrating an outrage tor Attempting wliich a private individual would have been exposed to severe pains and penalties, in is to this same Minister that llio settlers are indent ed for bavin? ..o pay ten dollars for a survey, fiv<-* do'Vs for a Crown deed, and two dullars for a certificate of improvement. It is to the samo Minister that the settlers are indebted for the luxury of paying a swing- ■ ing wild-land tax upon the vory pie- upfw-j. 5 they are struggling to mob;i.ujr)iiiose into farms, AH those enactments and many more of . thesame nature emanated f:oin tlie ' present Premie r, and show the true inwardness of' tlio man. The whole genius and tendency of his law-making hns been to screw, by hook or by crook, the last dollar oat of the very olass upon whom it should ho the aim p- the Government to make t.i..;ition a- light as possible, lt surely requires no very profound knowledge of political economy to understand that overy dollar taken away I'-'om the settlor stritjryilng to create a boniest mul and develop a farm is just liy so miioh a reduction of the productive foi-c.es; To render . the settloi*, in liu earlier struggles, weak and helpless hy multiplying imposw and pi'irg up ta::ation, squals in folly nm) exceeds in heart* lessness tbe fabled old idiotic cobbler who killed the gooso that laid the golden egg. And yet such has been Mr. Ceaveil's policy throngbout,— exhibiting no little ingenuity in devising schemes for squeezing money out of the most important, but least able to pay, industrial class. Nor : are settlers, as a rule, ignorant of the faet that it is the present Premier they a* a chiefly indebted to for these things; and il is this knowledge that has much to do with making tbe Government so universally unpopular in the country. Go where you will in the farming districts, more particularly in the newer a*t- tlements on the Mainland, you will hear bitter complaints aud imprecations against this man and his mean, tShylock policy towards the settle■« Thus it was that, at the general election in July, candidates who at heart belonged to tbe Beaven party were driven from tho sheer tVoo of popular opinion to uot only disclaim all sympathy with that parly, but roundly denounce it at the hustings. Indeed, in some instances, these were ihe moat ultra in their expressions )f condemnation of the Beaven ad ministration. But fortunately the •reat majority of the efectois had iiscriurination enough to discover in inie that these we'6 wolves in itieep's c-othifg, nnd conse'queiitly ihey we'*> rejected at the polls. The »op)e throughout the country genially tbo'ougbly understand theso btngs, and the organs will lid that thoy are, as our local eon- emporary once exptossed it, at- empting to perform the impossible iak of making water run up-hill. The Qwcen %m flic General. Tlio Sitlilicr XlnkriK a Etaiiny Kit, London, Nov.-7.—-Sir Garnet Wol- soley's lung journey to Balmoral and brief visit iu tho Queen had, aftor all, n pleasant side to them, writes the London correspondent of the Now York Tribune. Be reached tho Cnstlo nt 3, as tlie Quoen was setting out for a drive, her custom always of tho afternoon. Bev Majesty greeted her successful soldier cordially, but did not postpone her airing. Royalty is not iu the habit of postponing its pleasures for tho peoplo; nor probably would lesser great people have thought of postponing anything' previously arranged.*" This is a Country where people do not pat themselves out. Tho ceremony in Biich matters is to be unceremonious. The Queen informed Sir Garuot that he must be tired with his journey, and handsomely suggested to liim that by the time she hnd como in from driving ho would bo rested and better able to talk. Sho returned at 5, tea wns ordered, maps were produced, nud Sir Garnet wns commanded to describe the campaign to Her Majesty. He found her familiar wiih miliary details, n3 might be expected. SI R CA KN.ET WAS l'LACKD AT lllli QOLBn'h IlIOllT HAND, and tho Egyptian talk went on. Tlio Queen showed herself throughout most gracious, whioh wns the more remarked because heretofore Sir Garnet Wolseley haa not been a favorite nt court. Royal opinions nu military mutters are supposed to be much influenced by tlio Duko of Cambridge, and the Duke of Cambridge, us everybody knows, has been at daggers drawn will) Sir Garnet on short service and other questions of army reform. There is a story—though it seems ohurjish to revive it nnw—that the Queo i insis'ed on Sir Garnet WuUoley going i-o see hor before ho left for Egypl. Ho was oo ill that his physicians had forbidden liim to receive the Prince of Wiiliis, The Prince asked just lo put his hand msida tho door and sliat.e hands with his departing friend, hut the doctors stuck to their no. Well, This critical state of health was due largely, snid people at tho time, to tlio journey Sir Garnet liad been forced to nniko to Osborne— or wherever the Queen may luu? chanced to bo—In lako leave. And one reason for Hur Majesty's obstinacy iu tlie matter was her determination to speak her royal mind to Sir Garnet, ou bouie points of military administration which he, ns Adjutunt-Gonc-rnl, had beeu ordering otherwise than was pleasing to the Duke of Cambridge. Let us hope this is mere seiindal. But all that is over, and so was Till! nitfSBtt AT BALMORAL, after a time, but not before au incident had occurred which high authorities say is quite unprecedented. Wlieii tho wino came on at dessert, the Queen rose and proposed a toast, to tlio health nf Sir Garnet Wolseley, with u flattering word or two about his success in E^ypt. There was n situation for a simple-minded, blunt sflldiorl Sir Garnet declares that nothing iu Kgypt pussnled hiin so much as to know what lie ought to do in this emergency. Wlmt did etinuette require—nay, what did it permit I Wlmt might a subject iu presenco of his sovereign do to acknowledge this extraordinary not of royal condescension 'I Propose the Queen's health in return? Doubtful as matter of propriety; certainly coin* mon-placo if proper. When tho Queen sat down Sir Garnet stood up (for I suppose he could not stand while In.* own health wn^ being drunk, oven iu the Queen's presence) aud said:— "Wilt your Majesty .permit me to propose a toast V Hor Majesty signifying her assent, upon which Sir Gar-et snid: "I beg io propose ■ dih of my gallant conirade-in-aru. '* ltoyal Highness Uio Duke of Opuuau3 V Quito perfect, was it not I They say the Queen was immensely pleased J both with the tact of Sir Gamut Wolseley and with the compliment to her son. When the General took his leavo, thoy parted upon tho best of terms, nud ou ihe whole, it appear* that tho hero of Tel-el-Kebir and Cairo does uot regret his 1,200 miles of travel lo mid from Dal moral. ONfi OF SIH OAUNBT'S ANECDOTES about Tol-ol-Kebir is not yet out of date Ho bad limed the night attack to begin nt a Used hour, and reports to bo brought him from the dillereut bodies of troops that had actually reached thoir positions, Surrounded by his staff he was waiting on horseback, ond in his nerVous impatience ho was continually pulling out n repeater he carried, and ringing the hour. The night wns extremely dark, the repealer very old, and Sir Garnet frequently grew anxious, lest tho moment should pass before everything was ready. A faint light dawned in the Eastern Bky, and grew twiftly brighter, and before long the horizon and all that quarter of tho heavens woro radiant with the hues of early morn. Sir Garnet threw down his watch with an exclamation of despair, ond turning to tho stall', said:—'-You see, gentlemen, it ia too lato; it will be broad daylight before tho troops can reach tho enomey's linos," "But, why?" queried the hold man; "tho hour fixed is not passed." "It must be passed," rotortod Sir Garnet; "look at the light in the sky." "Yea,'' responded the bold man, "I seo tho light, It is a comet." 8. H.

Our esteemed correspondent asl;a who is to blamu for thu disgraceful negligencu which constitutes thu immediate subject of complaint. Thoro can be no doubt about tho answer. It is the Government. To bo more exact, it is tlio head of the Lands aud Works .UOpartinent. It is quite true, theoretically speaking, that thero ia, right at Granville, nn oflicer whoau duty ia BUpposed to be to look after such matters! and at tho first blush it might bo imagined that ho 'Ib tho party to blame. But those acquainted with the tnio inwardness of tho Department and its prosont head know bettor. There ia such an amount f rod-lapo and downright meanuoas about tho way the atlaira of that Depart men t aro administered that no officer of tho Government can be oxpected to tako thu responsibility of acting in such matters without first porting the nitVcrgoncy aud obtaining ^instructions." Nay, if he did it would bu matter of doubt whether lie could got men to do the work; so well haa-i't como to be understood that it is really worth ns inuch to get mio's rtay from tho bond of ihat Department as it is tn earn it.

In tho Nanaimo Free Press of tho 2nd inst. appeared a report of a caso which occupied tho court at Nanaimo for half a day. During the trial the presiding judge, Chief Justice Sir M. B. Begbie; mado some extraordinary observations with reference to the ttovernor-General's approval of certain pilotage by-laws. His principal observation wns published in the Ooi.u.u- niAN of the 9th, and the local Government (jjrgan makes the item a pretext for one of his venomous attacks upon the editor of this journal. If tho statement attributed to tlio Chief .Justice id not correct, the fault 'lie:i clearly with Iho Nanaimo Free Press, and not with the Cpt.ff-MCUir, for we Said nothing which tlie Original report in tho InV nninio paper does not'completely-justify. Uot the organ doo3 not content himself wiih this. He goes on ns usual to iliug about assertions and insinuations wliich any person possessing Lhe instincts of a mtn would bu ashamed of. Hu refers again to the old uiiaii- of "twenty years ago," whon thu editor of this journal was thrust into prison by tin; aitino Judge for alleged '-'contempt of court."_ The "Victoria Letter" of tho organ alao attempts to hiip- ploinuiit tho editorial paragraph", but it ia pretty well understood that thu "Victoria Letter" is written iu thi city and by the same. llaiJd that wrut the editorial. This will help people l:i perceive thu "true inwardness" of tlio Victoria Letter. Aa thero aro many now in tho country who know nothing (if events whicli transpired here twenty years ago, we propose briefly tn statu the facts of the so-called ''Contempt of court" casoi About twenty years ago. wliun British Columbia was a crown colony, and Mr. Iinbsou', in tho capacity of editor of tho Dkttjsh OoiiUH- r.iAN newspaper, was vigorously contending for the rights of-the people and thu pi'cso-, a communication (written by a very respectable clergyman thuii at Cariboo) appeared in thai journal. This communication criticised tho conduct of Judge Bcgbio ill connection with certain'land speculations with which he was believed to bo connected. At tho assizes held in this city some weeks after tho publication of tlio letter Judge Begbie had Mr. Robacih brought before him, informed him that ho had buen guilty of "contempt of court,1' and announced that unless he apologized; or retracted thu statement contained in thu letter, ho would be committed to prison. Mr. Unbenti replied that tho communication had bean received'and published iu tKo regular way,.uud in good faith, and it would not bo possilde for hint to apologize or retract until ho had au opportunity of communicating with the aikhor ti .id ascertaining the grounds upon whicli the statements restod. He pointed out that an apojogy or jetnio- tion mndo undor sueh qivcuinstances (iu order to evade imprai-nmcnijoouhl not help tho Judge's reputation. But the Judge would listen to neither reason nor argument. In tho exercise of his autocratic powers ho committed Mr. llou3on to prison, .where hu remained for threo days, This is tho history of Mr. Robson simprisonnlent, and it is a piece of colonial history which may certainly bu repeated without discredit to himsolf. It is worth while to mention that the Judge's arbitrary nnd unjust, conduct on that memorable occasion met with a moat emphatic condemnation from all classes. An indignation meeting was at onco held iu this city, attended by a very largo number of the most promt* pent and influential, citi/ci, when resolutions were passed denouncing tho Judge and expressing sympathy for tha editor. And the British Columbia press of that d:iy, without u single exception, stood up fm* thu journalist who had siiii'oied unjustly in the cause of liberty. Ilut in those days the newspapers of thia province wure conducted by men Who, Although often fiercely opposed to each other on political und otho? public qtlctitioitfl, never descended tu tho level of tho Guardian. There ave no rights too sacred, anil thero is no cause top high and niible, to bo beyond tho reach of the dirt thrown by t!i"u unprincipled editor of that scurrilous sheet. (fommtuucitiono. A Public Grievance. Editor OoiotfuiAN.—Having occasion to visit New Westminster* I left Granville Inst Tuesday with a horso and hiiimy at 1 p. nf. About half n milo after starting I encountered a log acrosB tho road. Thin necessitated unharnessing the horse and lifting the buggy over the stump. 1 again started on my journey and had proceeded aa far an the bridgea, which, aa you no awaro, arc situated about ono Utile anil a half from Granville, Ono of the bridges was rendered impassable, being smashed, a tree having fallen tici-osa it.

'Continued,) While they conversed in low tones the room began to till, and one nnd another bf tho new-comers looked with disapproval at the unaccustomed visitor in the corner. Tffo ladies hesitated to take the next table, which was the only one vacant, saying audibly something about a smell of smoke. Mrs. Bennett, who had seen their manoeuvre, hoped that Ronald would not notice the remark, but his quick ear caught it, and rising, he said at once, with a bow, "Excuse me; I assure you I do not smoke," but at tlie same time he drew his chair a Iii tic farther away. The elder of the two ladies looked annoyed; but they took their places, nevertheless, and ordered their lunch- •eon. / uIf you have finished, ma'am, we thtfuld be glad of the table," said the waitress to -Mrs. Bennett, shortly afterward. "Ah yes, ffe are "keeping it too long," replied Ronald, rising and paying -for the luncheon. As he moved the chairs, and stood back tr Ulow his mothor to pass, he felt that every one was watching him; and he was walking out of the room with head erect, when a lady and gentleman entered, and there waa a momentary pause, as a waitress, tray 'Jn hand, barred the way. The "entleman—a stout man, in a light suit—looked again, and spoke. "Surely X know your face—met you somewhere." "Yea, in different clothes, skating on Airthrey Loch." "To be sure; Mr. Bennett, I think. I never forget a face; heard you en- lilted," aaid Mr. Hardwicke, shaking hands with Ronald, and glancing at Mrs. Bennett. "My mother, Mr. Hardwicke," said Ronald. "My sister, Mr. Bennett; she's just- home from schodl—hardly knows Tillybodle," returned Hardwicke. "Have jou haa lunch ? Pity—might have had it 'together. How d'ye like the servicer "It's not as bad as it's painted," replied Ronald, smiling. "Ah—wish I was in it—wanted to go in—guardians wouldn't let me— might have done some good then. Are you ataying in Edinburgh, Mrs. Bennett ?" "Only for tha day. I came to see my son." "My carriage is at the door; couldn't it take you anywhere 7 Pray use it." "We shall be some time to lunch- Ernest likes to lunch wall," added Miss Hardwicke, smiling. "Of course — something to do. Where will you go, Mrs. Bennett V Mrs. Bennett was about to decline, but Ronald interposed. "You are very kind indeed, and I know my mother is tired. I shall be vory glad if she can go to the National Gallery." "Certainly—come along —I'll put you in. Laura, get the carte and choose the soup — not '-the rest, though. So saying, Mr. Hardwicke escorted Mrs. Bennett down-stairs^ and, to the amazement of the shop-girls, she and liar ion>drove off in a neat brougham. "Well, that's a good fellow," said Ronald, "and I remember I thought him an ass. Na wonder; I wus too -great an ass myself then to do otherwise." "I never heard of these peoplo before," said his Bister to Hardwicke, as lhe sat down and began to study the •carte; you seem very friendly with them; just a private soldier, isn't he 1" "Ye«ryou have heard of them. Tho ■old lady is the wife of the Tillybodle minister. Son ran away from home, and enlisted. I barely know him— heard all about him—sorry for his old mother; sorry for him, for he is another of them." "Another of whom?" "Another of us—man who loved Muriel Forbes—only it wrecked him and saved me—that's the difference." "Ernest, that sounds as if you had been something dreadful. I wiali you wouldn't speak so." "So I was—dreadful ass—am an ass still, but I know it—that's different; mean to try and help other asses—another difference; and she did it. Will you have apirlings? They may be good. Lobsters can't be eatable here." "Well," said the head waitress, meanwhile, as she paused to speak to har companions in the aliop, "Mrs. Bennett may be all right, and Mr. Hardwieka'i quite the gentleman; but if Mr. Bennett comes hero again I'll Set the manager in, for there's five liferent parties spoke about him today." So true it ia that the fickle British public will cheer itself hoarse one day over a departing or incoming regiment, and will turn the cold shoulder tbe next on individuals whose uniform ought to be their pride. In the quiet rooms of the gallery, with only lovely Mrs. Graham's eyes gazing at them from ths canvas, mother and son resumed their interrupted talk; and there, as gently as he could, ha told her that in a fow months he must tail for India to join the headquarters of his regiment, and tried to make her comprehend that be could nat by any possibility remain with the linked battalion in tha Castle. True remorse for hia mad act had never smitten Ronald till he saw his mother cowerim? down on the crimson ottoman beside him, as though shrink ing from some mortal blow. She hid her face so long in her hands that at last, alarmed at her silence, he touched her, and whispered a loving word in her ear. She looked up at him, her face blanched, har eyes glistening with un- •had tears. "Ronald, if you go abroad it will kill ma!" ''Mother, you taught me to love honor, did you not ?" "Yea-well T "Well, you know my only honor aow ii in going on well with my pro- leuion; and you surely know, too, that I cannot leave it. Would you like your father's grandaon—a MacGregor's jpandaon—to be caught as a deserter 1 or would you prefer to have him branded as a coward ? They are tho only alternatives." "Why as a coward?" "Because there is a rumor of war, and, therefore, I could not, oven if I wished it, take my discharge now. No, mother, you must not bo less brave than your forbears," This was an argument that appealed to Marian Bennett's heart; but though she acknowledged its force, sho raised herself wearily and shook her bead. "To endure, to endure, and always to endure. That's tho owre-word of some women's lives—it has been so with mol" "And what says our old proverb, mother?—'Ho that tholes, ower- comes.'" "Ay, laddie, it's easy talking; men1 work cases their troubles, but a woman's griefs nro about her day and night. Well, well, I'll do my best; and mind you ibis, laddie—I can bear trials that como in tho natural course of .life, but what I could not boar would be to know ynu were unworthy." "Mother," said Donald, bravely, "I hopo I may never causa you another heartache by anything I do. I've had my schooling und my paiks,1' he continued, moro lightly, "but I mean to be a gude bairn henceforth; believe that, and let me think it's some comfort to you." "Tho boat you can givo mo, my dear bairn,"said Mrs. Bennett, with shining eyes. "That's woll; and now I fear you must be goinjj, or you'll miss your train," said he. And leaning ou her boy's arm, Mrs. Bennett walked along Princes Street, crowded at that hour, to the Waverley Station, and did not even reiloct that her old friends might chance to meet hev, and might look askunse nt her on his account. Had they done so sho would havo rogarded them with pride ns great as their own, for Ronald was more hers to-day than ho hud been for yoars. Ho had spoken freely to hor, and she w content. CHAPTER Xni. A P 11 B S11 8 T A It T. When Mra. Bennett reached homo her husband waa waiting at tho door of his study, and followed her into the parlor, poking tlie lire restlessly, while tbo old maid-servant, atrdous to seo to her mistress' comfort after lior unwonted absence, lingered about her, putting a chair for hor near tho hearth. She was anxious too, old Nancy, for she knew what errand had taken Mrs. Bennett away; but she would not utter tbe, question that was on her lips, because tbe minister was by. For the Bamo reason Mrs. Bennett only gave hor a nod aud a smile—a faint and wan smile—and said, "I'd like a 0up of tea, Nancy—I'm tired;" whereupon Nancy left the room, thinking within herself lhat that weary voice could have no good uows to tell. There was silence when husband and wife were left alono—sho sitting ou a low seat, her listless bands ou her knees, her sad eyes fired on the blazing coals; be standing, a dark figure against tho ruddy light, with aidelong glance at her drooping head, and heart too proud to question her. At last ho spoke in a 'one shapen- ed bv anxious impatience — "Well, wife f" She raised herself, and looking him straight iu the face, said slowly, "Ronald is well. Ho will get on. He — goea to India-in about sh months." "What do you say? How 1 The First ia quartered in Edinburgh." "Tho First is not his regiment, yon must remember; be joins the Second Regiment with tlie ne::t draft." Bennett walked to the window and drummed with his lingers on the panes, each sound going sharply through his wife's aching head. "Did ho ask for mo—or wish—to aee mo?'' ho inquired, without turning round. "Ho said he supposed you bad not wished to see him; you wore always so stern to bim, and he was neither clover enough nor good enough to satisfy you. Ho said it had often seemed to hiin ho had no father; ho knew that you never loved him ns 1 did." These sentences were uttered in a monotonous tunc, as though the speaker did not expoct them to produce any effect, and was merely answering mechanically the questions that had boen put to her. Again there was a pause, till on her startled ear broke a sigh tliat was almost a sob, nnd a smothered exclamation, "ily boy—my boy !" She turned and looked, and in tho fading light she saw her husband leaning hfo betid on his clasped hands against the window, and hor heart leaped. Was it only by losing her boy that ahe was to find again tho loving companion of her youth ? Would the stern nature unbend at last, ho that bo and ahe might comfort each oilier in their lonely old ago \\ She rose, leaning for support upon a chair, half fearing a rebuff, half awod by Bennett's unwonted attitude. "James!" she said, timidly; aud again, "Jamosl" Bennett did not speak; but he strotchod out bin hand iu mute appeal, and she tottered rather than walked across tlio room, and thing hor anus round bin neck, drawing toward hor the still hidden faco. "Husband!"—she had not so addressed him for months—"come to the firesido and lot us talk together, Let me see into your mind aa I did when we were young -and oh, let there bo peace between us!" So with tears and gentle force sho led him to her own arm-chair, nnd sitting by liim, laid her hand in his and drew hiin on to speak. To that outpouring of the BtJcrots of a reserved nature no stranger ear should listen. Now and again such a character creases our path, and we recognize with pity, the coldness that covers inward tire, tho harshness aud reserve that hide such agonies of self- immolation, such atrivings aftor the fulfilment of duty, aa aro unknown to happier souk T.
