It.will lie tttmnmboreil tlmt there is in tlio charter of the Cunndian Pacific Railway Company n clanso whicli enables tlie government to control the tiu-jff of tinflic charges. When the not profita yield 10 per cent, on tlie money expended by the coin|>miy in building tho rond, the govenunent has power to revise the tolls and reduce them to a scale whieh would keep tho profits below 10 per cent, It was contended by those who favored tlie syndicate bar- ■ gain thnt in this .clause there was ample security against extortion. The opponents of the bargain point* ed out that thero was no security at all, inasmuch us by watering stock, and by other ways well known to railway magnates, the construction account might be increased tb u sum so vast thnt the profits would never reach 10 per cent. The beginning of tho end is now appenring, The company's stock is selling at 60 cts. on the dollur, and the capital has been increased from $15,0U0,000 to $100,000,000. That is, tho amount actually paid for stock is $60,000,- OOOwhile dividends will be-drawn on S100.OUU.000. In this way the company will be able to manage their affairs so that their tolls may be oxhorbitant without ovor reaching that point where tho government could make an adjustment. But this is not the only resource of tho company by wliich they may evade government interference. A secoud company has lately beeu formed, called tho construction company. The object of this company is to build the railway for the syndicate, aud tho purpose of it mny bo twofold, first, to take over the effects of the syndicate and, second, to increase the apparent cost of construction still further. The syndicate will not build any more road. Thoy hand over the whole construction to the construction company at a certain figure. But the construction company do not build the road either. They sub-lot it to controctors at lowest rates, and pocket the difference. It may, therefore, happen that tho construction company will build the road and take a mortgage on it to seouro themselves. When eompletcd the road will belong, not to tho syndicate, but to tho construction company. If tho government should at any time find it necessary to force tho syndicate to fulfil the conditions of their agreement, thoro would be nothing left in their hands upon which to seize— everything would belong to the con Htiuction company. The Hamilton Spectator, a thick-and thin Conservative newspaper, seems to have Income alarmed nt the possibilities of this combination. It sees in tho shuttling of cards thnt "the time for anxiety has come," and says: It is generally understood that thu members of tho Syndicate have formed thomsolvoa into a Construction L'omiiany- tlint tho same men, noting as u syndicate, contract with themselves ns a construction company to build tliu rond, or large portions of it, at n price enormously greater than the cost of tlio work, and mt tlio Construction Company lets out tliu work to Buh-coiitrautoni on tlm best terms 'ivailnblo. It is earnestly to bu hoped that tho Government will not permit anything ot tho sort to be done; or, If there is no provision of law to prevent It, that thu contracts with tho actual huildura of tho line shall hu tnkuti ns n basli for en leu luting "the capital actually expended in the construction of tho railway." If thnt be not dono, there is grunt danger thu company will be permitted to charge tolls out of ull proportion to tlio cost of tho work. Lst us supposo that, over nnd nbovc the government grant* the rond will cost $5,000,000. flow, if Mchsi-s. Stephen, Angus, Hill k Co,, noting ns n syndicate, contract with Messrs, Hill, Angus, Stephen ft Co., acting as a construction company, to build thu rond for .#0,000,000 It will bo seen that tlicy Mill lio untitled to doable the profits contemplated undei- thu law. That very thing was dono in thu caso of the Union Pacific of tho United States. The uompany formed itself into a Credit Mobilier; contracted with itself ns a Credit Mobilier to build the rond: the. work which roally cost about liftv millions was made tn uost a lumdrctt millions! and the members, nfter purchasing members of Congress und others to secure the necessary legislation, divided tho runt among themselves nn individual-'. Huch things cuniiot lie permitted in Cau- ailiv with safety. Wo itre afraid the Spectator's fears hnvo beeu aroused too Into. We aro inclined to think the syndicate have loo much power und influence to permit of tho failure of their plans. 5 They took tbe charter to make money, und money they nre bound to make, no matter what the cl.'eel on the country mny be. Mons, Parize hns discovered tbnt the crumbling of imperfectly baked bricks is caused by tho growth in them of microscopic organisms, nnd not by exposure to the weather. At a recent brilliant reception given by Mons. Louis Rati in Paris, each of the Indy guests about to take part in a danco was presented with n bouquet, in the middle of whioh shone a miniature electric lamp fed by butteries devised by Mons. Trouve. Tho Preside111 of tho French Meteorological Bureau, Mons, Mangon, reports that 83 per cent, of the weather forecasts mnde by the Bureau have proven good. Of 207 tempest warnings sent to seaports, 100 hnve boen fulfilled entirely, 05 partly, and 42 uot at nll. On the government cinchona ^notations in Jamnica the ti!£hc»t meteorological observatory in the British Empire hns just boon established. At this spot—4,000 feet above sen-level— the menu annual rainfall is 136 inches, nnd tho moan annual temperature is 60 degrees Fnhrenheit. Dr. ClouBton, an Edinburgh physician, snys: "All acute mental diseases, like most nervous diseases, tend to thinness of body, and therefore all foods nud all medicines nud all treatments that fatten nre good. To my assistants and nurses and patients 1 preach the gospel of fatness ns tho great antidote to the exhausting tendencies of the disease we hnve to treat, and it would be well if all peoplo of nervous constitution would oboy this gospel." For sovoral years Mr, J. E. Suitter- lm of New York hns given attention to the treatment of statuuiorjug, and with u simple und philosophic method he hns beeu very successful in removing the trouble His system does not rely upon medical aids, but comprises chiefly n careful drill of the vocal or- guns and such mental discipline ns may seem desirable, the principal object of tho latter being tho diversion of the subject's attention from himself. Statistics collected by Mr. Suitterliu show that the habit of stamering is very seldom contrncted at a later period in lifo thnn the tenth yonr. The singular faculty possessed by somo animals—such ns cats, dogs and pigeons—of returning in n direct course to a point from wliich they havo been taken, is n puzzle to naturalists. It has been referred tu instinct, to intelligence or reasoning power, nnd to poculiar bodily functions. Wallace supposed smell to enable nu animal to return over u courso which it hnd traversed in u basket; Toussencl believes thnt birds hnve nn iden of direction by recognizing the north ns the cold quarter, the south as tho warm, the east (in France) ns the dry, nnd tho west ns the moist: and now Vignier suggests thnt tho fnculty depends upon n perception of magnetic currents. Speaking at Milan of the great comet of 1882, Prof. Schiuparelli, the eminent Italian astronomer, remarked that such n body is vory small in the cold of distant space—so small ns to be invisible even iu the most powerful telescopes. As it approaches the sun it gradually becomes hunted, nud its solid or fluid matter is largely converted into a gaseous stnte, causing it to swell enormously in size. It then develops a tail of very diffuse substance, the immense tail which stretched across tho eastern sky during the mornings of last autumn having been estimated by one astronomer to contain only a few pounds of material. The cometary body reaches its greatest expansion when nearest tho sun, nnd us, it returns into distant space it again contrnets into insignificance. No oxact calculations hnve yet been made of the orbit of tho grout comet of 1882, but from observations in September, October nnd November it ia assumed that its period is included between 800 and 000 years, thnt its aphelion is 175 times as far from tho sun as the enrth at its moan distance, nnd that its velocity is 23,000 times as great when nearest the sun as whon farthest away.

The organs of the late provincial government ought to know that their foolish attempt to make capital out of the dry-dock, island railway and railway lands settlement carries no weight with the people of this province. Every person knows that these matters must he arranged if tho province is expected to bo in a position to tako advantage of the present large immigration. The federal authorities would not take over the dry-dock or guarantee the island railway unless the settlement of tht land question was included. We could not hope to succeed as a province while the railway lands remained shut up, and to carry on the dry- dock meant financial embarrassment of a very serious kind. This embarrassment we have all experienced already. The country has been suf fering very severely, for publio im provements, while the dock continued to swallow up our revenue. And the effects of the settlement are seen at once. In the ostimates of this year we notice a very large increase in the appropriation for roads and bridges—an increase of over $100,- 000. That amount could not possibly have been available if the dry- dock had been retained as a provincial work, and yet it is far too small to meet the pressing want? of the country. So far as we e been able to discover public opinion on the mainland is almost unanimously iii favor of the settlement. Tho organs may set themselves against public opinion—they may endeavor "to make water run up hill"—but the attempt will bo as fruitless as it is foolish. We venture to assert that no settlement, however favorable to the province, would have been acceptable to these organs if it had been procured hy the present government, The "6rob" Report. report which we publish in another column may be accepted implicitly as a report of facts. It is tho result of personal observation and enquiry by a gentleman thoroughly competent and absolutely disinterested. In giving the number of buildings in and about Port Moody he assures us he has not omitted anything. It will be seen that from tho end of the north road to the station', and over a mile beyond, there aro at present just 29 buildings, including tbe railway buildings, shanties, and places in course of construction. Of theso, 4 are hotels, 2 of which are yet unoccupied. There are 3 stores iu operation, a shoe shop, a shingle factory, a bakery, and a boarding house. These buildings cover u distance of between two and three miles along tho inlet. This is Port Moody as it actually exists. Tho situation has many advantages in scenery and surroundings. There is excellent water, and timber is both plentiful and good. At tho present timo thero is not much work going on. The railway men have nearly all gone up the road towards Pitt River, and building operations uro not brisk. The only new building we know of at present in contemplation is a $1500 hotel which is to be eroded immediately. That will make 5 hotels for a place of less than 100 population. But we presumo theso hotels have in view future developments. When the track has been laid aoross Pitt River, we presume railway operations will be carried on chiefly from Vovt IMoody. There tlie rails and otl'ur material will be laid down from the slii^s and transported by veil to their destination. Aquan- ti.y o£ bridge timber wu3 landed last weel:, and wo understand that track- laying will bo commenced within a few days. Tliis will bring some move business to Port Moody, and givo it more the appearance of a railway terminus. We publish these facts for public information. We have no interest wliatover at Port Moody or elsewhere which would have a tendency to prejudice us in its favor ov against it. Port Moody has been greatly r '"represented by persons who hoped to gain advantugo by these misrepresentations, lt has been lauded nd nauseam, and mercilessly criticised. Between two extremes the golden mean muy generally bo found. WANTED IMMEDIATELY, f-Jtcudy employment and gooil wages guaranteed. iny23-tc.] E. B. SCOULLAR & CO. DRS. MGINNES& MATHERS.

Our contemporary, tbe Victoria ] Stimdard, does not appear to take kindly to tbe report of tbe house committee on tbe so-called Port Simpson land grab. Tbe committee found, as we stated last week, that there was no evidence of crookedness on tbe part of tbe government. The only fault that could be found was tbat public notice had not been given when tbe lands were thrown open. This omission, Hon. Mr. Smithe stated in his evidence, wns simply a neglect on the part of his deputy, Mr. Gore. In bis evidence, Mr. Gore says: "The true reason the order-in-council was not gazetted was tbat in the hurry of business it was overlooked." We accepted the committee's report ns satisfactory, in the absence of any other evidence whatever. The Standard of Friday publishes the evidence taken before the committee, and professes to see in it proof of corruption, for it puts at tbe bead, "A flagrant piece of jobbery on the part of the government." Now, we have read this evidence carefully, and we candidly do not find anything in it to justify such a statement. Thero may have been jobbery, but if there was the cliief commissioner and bis deputy must have wilfully misrepresented the facts, for their evidence does not show it. We prefer to believe that the statements of theso gentlemen were honest, and that tho conclusion of the committeo wiih just. There has certainly been no evidence whatever of crookednesH, although there were enough singulur circumstances to justify an enquiry. Our conclusion that tha investigation exonerated the government is the only possible conclusion tlint could be reached on the evidence. On tbe one band wc have the plain statements of two credible witnesses and tbe report of tho committee: on the other hand wo havo the assertion of tht Standard, unsupported by any evidence at all. Surely our contemporary knows that he has not made a case. [L.S.] CLEMENT P. CORNWALL. CANADA. PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Probably very few of our readers nre awaro of the fact that the Australian colony of Queensland has formally annexed tbe vast island of New Guinea. Seeing thnt the act was accomplished some weeks ago, and formally made known to tho British Government on tbe 16th of last month, it is strange that we should havo hitherto heard so littlo about it. The annexation of an island whieh is the third largest in the world, is reported to abound in natural wealth, nnd which has besides been long coveted by several nations, is surely an event that ought not to be ignored. It is true that the British govornment has uot yet assumed the responsibility of confirming the bold aot of tho Colonial authorities, yet it has not refused to sanction the step—a fact which holds a very favorable significance for the aspirations of the enterprising Qucens- hinders. Papua, or New Guinea, lies within a few hours1 steam of the northern shores of Australia, It is 1300 miles long and 300 broad. Its aborigines, the Papuans, had, and probably still havo a taste for cannibalism, but are otherwise a not unamiable or unintelligent race. Tho island is said to be rich in gold, copper and other metals; in ebony, sandal-wood, mahogany and other valuable timbers; in tortoise shell, pearl shell and pearls; in ambergris, beche-de-mer, spices and medicinal barks. Of its geography very little is known, since Europeans have penetrated a very small distance inland, yet in right of this trifling amount of exploration, nearly every nation in Europe can prefer as good a claim to its annexation ns Great Britain. It ia probable that should trouble with the natives bo tho only obstacle iu tho way of the Queenslanders, the mother country will lot tho colony finish what it haa begun, nt its own risk nnd expense. But since Queensland has no army or navy, Great Britain would of course haye to assume tho responsibility, or altogether relinquish tlio schome should a foreign power stop in. Aa matters stand at prosont, it looks ns if Queensland will roup without difficulty or opposition from any quarter, whatever benefit thoro maybe in nor new doparture.—8. E, Newsletter, mm\ ., Dr. II.

(Correspondence of the Columbian, Since Thursday, owing to tho cool weather, the rivor has beeu falling rapidly. On Friday Mr. Cowan engaged from the B, C. Ex.

Crops are looking exceedingly well, and there are prospects of a largo fruit luirvost. Tho floods of last year left a considerable deposit of fino clay on the land, wliich has greatly enriched it, and everything is growing luxuriantly, Mr. A. C. Wells has just completed a cheese factory whicli is now ready for operation. Tho building is 20 by 30 fuet. Tho same gentlemen has erected a now barn 30 by 60 foet. It is expected that a now agricultural hall will be put up tliis summer, and thero are also a number of other buildings in contemplation. The Blue Ribbon club will hold a picnic ou Mr. AshweH's farm on the Queen's Birthday, and thero is likely to be a large gathering. Mrs. Harrison will provido the refreshments. She has already received orders for 200 dinners. laundry. Seven private residences, of limited size, three of them occupied by families, two "ark" scows, in one of which Capt. Clark is about to domicile liis family for tho summer, a good- ish store, not yot occupied, un unfinished lock-up, to bo presided over by Mr. Constable Sharpe, nnd a stable, belonging to the railway contractors, fills up tho bill. A few cables farther to tho east is a picturesque promontory known as Rocky Poiut, where Mr. Murray has erected a fine, substantial building for a hotel. If woll finished rooms, witli wido halls, broad stairways, and ample balconies from which can bo seen everything that transpires within the "Port," and all separated conveniently from thu railway and the town, and fanned by the cooling breeze from briny wavelets rising, nre the requisites for a desirable summer retreat, then Rocky Point is the spot. At the head of the bay Messrs. A, and H.Cameron are wrestling with treo, root and knoll, for wliich they aro substituting a garden, tho soil giving promise of groat fertility. Closo by stands tlie new building of Mr. Allen Noon and family who have succeeded botter than most people in. bringing to their wild-wood homo many of thoso souvenirs of artistic refinement which go far to keop up the connection of the past with the present and alterod life, It is just possible that the wo'jlenmillof the future, for which a government bonus is offered, may bo located here ns Mr, Noon informs me that tho wator power is available and ho is in correspondence with a friend in good old Yorkshire in reference to taking hold of tho mutter. About throe-fourths of n mile from tho wator, up the old "skid road," Mr. James Cattle has located and is evolving a garden farm from the wilderness. Nearly the same distance, but to the south, is Mr. S. S. Lehman's claim, and it is expected that ho and his large family will bo a valuable addition to tho community. On the north shore is a promising "family eomoact," of which Mr. George Buchart is the centre, ably supported on either side by his sons Bruce, who has a good wife but no house as yet, and Nerval, who bus a good house but no wife. These three claims are beautifully situated, bathed in sunshine, cooled by the sea breeze and affording perfect view of wharf, railway and "the oity," Tho soil is good and the owners are putting things in shape most earnestly. Tho only remaining institution is Mr. J. B. Tiffin's shingle mill, say half a mile wost of Buchart's. From the finest quulity of cedur found in the adjoining forest, the enterprising proprietor, assisted by some half dozen men, is turning out most excellent shingles for which ho finds a ready salo in Victoria as woll as iu the im mediate locality.

I'rcMcnl I'linilKlun of the Terminus city, [Reported for tho Col tun burn.] A horseback rido in early morning over tho North road is at once a means of health and pleasure. Tho now robes of springtime enchant the eye, bursting buds nnd fresh-blown flowers delight the sense of smell, while rustling leaves and birds of song supply tho needed music. The first building descried is Johnston's hotel, situate on tho wostern side of tho road, say three chains from tho water's edgo. It is a building similar to the Holbrook House in this city, nll spink spank now, without tenant or christening as yet. Nearer tho shoroj the proprietor, pioneer Bottler at this landing, lives in an uuprontentious cabin and keeps a boat livery, whioh is just the thing for thoso who seek to develop muscle by a "spin" upon tho "vasty deep." Tho opposite side of the road is occupied by Mr. Steele's store, where a selection of goods is offered at reasonable prices to all comers, and Bonson's Hotol, tho first licensed house in the region. The edifice is sufficiently commodious, has received a fresh coat of paint, aud hai stables attached, to the shelter of which I committed my horse, and, chartering one of Johnston's boats, bent the willing oar for a cruise around the shores of what is oxpected to lie- come some day a harbor all astir with foreign shipping. Tho only settler between the north road and the wharf is Mr. John Shannon, who with his family occupies a two-storey house situated amid a moderate clearing on tho rising bunk. Near by thero was, a year ago, erected a spruce brewery, but the proprietor found that he had under-rated the taste of his expected customers, nnd the establishment hns literally "gone down." Tho C. P. R. terminus wharf is situated about one and a quarter miles from Bonson's, and is a work of somu magnitude, being 1,400 feet long. The marine worms are its most dangerous enemies, and have mado sad havoc of some of the piles. Upon the wharf stands a large froight shed, the roof of which, I am told, proved but a partial protection from rain. Behind the wharf is a neat station house, used at present us u dwelling by tho resident engineer, Mr. Hill, while on the higher bank is situato u rudo building used as a boarding-house for the men employed at the wharf, and on Sundays as a chapel in whioh religious services are held. Mr. Nelson and his family have ohargo of this establishment and giye tho interior an utr of tidiness which iB in contrast with the rough exterior. Operations at the wharf seem to consist in landing stores and material for the contractors and removing the steel raits lately deliver ed from tlie Duke of Abereorn- Theso are being transferred to tho Eraser river by the str. Rithet. Capt. Gush- on's stoam "donkey," with a crew of somo doaen longshoremen, stands ready to deliver with despatch any future cargoes which may arrive. Ono mite oast of tho wharf and along the line of railway is springing up what promises to be a centre of business. It is located upon the land claims of Messrs. Clark And Murray, on low, level ground, with shallow water frontage. Tho pioneer building hero is the Caledonia House, run by Messrs. Scott & Kelly, Immediately adjacent are the stores of Mr. Grant and Mrs, Eckstein, in which customers will find wall selected stocks of merchandise. Across Queen street is White's shoo shop and nlso a Chinese bakery and The Excursion Band. Editor Columbian.—-In reply to the remarks contained in your last issue relative to the engagement of the Excelsior Band for tho Queen's Birthday excursion, tlio committee bog to state that until a, lute dato they wero led by members of tho Band to supposo that the Excelsior Bond would accompany tho excursion for tho same sum as lost year, namoly, 850, with such furthor donations as the funds wonld allow; but when the committee desired a definite understanding they were mot by a raiso of ono hundred per ceut., to which demand they did not feel justified in acceding. Arrangements have beon made for suitable music to accompany the excursion. W. Mobesiiv, Sec, Municipality of Surrey. Iti-lcrotitViif of lis Extent unil KcHonrccH Iu our last issue we promised to give some particulars respecting this important municipality. The following sketch is taken from the British Columbia Directory, published by Mr. R. T. Williams, of Victoria, Persona desiring further information Bhould read tho .advertisement of tho municipality which appears in another column, and address the intelligence officer: Lying between the corporations of Langloy, Fraser River, and Delta, ox- tending from Eraser Rivor to the International boundary Lino .of 40 dog., North Int., contains within its limits the important and growing settlements known us Hall's Prairie, Olovor Vnlloy and Mud Bay, consisting of about ouo hundred and twenty squaro miles, has many good roads, and two navigable rivers, namely, tho Serpentine and Nicomekl, which discharge into Mud Bay. Vessels of a largo size can ascend the Nicomekl for about ten miles from its mouth. Tho Serpentine though somewhat narrow, has sufficient depth of water to allow vessols drawing about six foot to ascend a distance of eight miles. At present, however, bridges span both theso rivors aud stop tho navigation for any distnnce up stream. It is to be hoped that before long these structures will bo provided with a draw each, so as not to interfere with the freo navigation of both streams, the value of whieh can hardly he overestimated to settlors along their banks. Hall's Prairie is situated about threo miles inland, on Campbell River, which empties into Semiahmoo Bay, about ono milo from the Boundary Lino. A fairly passable road connects it with salt-water, and also another road leads to and from the Hopo wagon road. Hall's Prairie, a rich tract of prairie land, is high and dry, and not subject to overflow. Tho suafaco of tho land as of tho surrounding bush country, is rolling, which allows drainage as easily and inexpensively us such work can bo dono anywhere. This prairie was bought up many yoars ago, and ia hold at the present time, principally by nonresidents. The timber land in this settlement is, however, of a very superior quality, and is owned and settled on. The clearing not boing of a hard character, the settlers havo made good progress and in almost ovoiy qiinrter section may be found a number uf acres cleared and improvements of nll kinds woll undor way. The soil of tliis section is adapted for tho production of all kinds of grain and root crops; notably potatoes. Wm. Brown raised off a fow acres tho enormous quantity of sixty tons, being n yield of about ten tons to tho aero. Up to the present time the settlers have confiuod thomsolvos principally to root crops, but tlio day is not far distant when, with its flour and saw mills, a necessity in all now countries, Hall's Prairie will help to supply British Columbia with home grown and homo manu factured flour and feed. It is but fair to say of this settlement that beforo long it will rank among tho most productive nnd important in this section of the Mainland. Clover Valley is one of the most thickly settled sections of Surrey. It takes its name from the great quantity of clover found growing wild throughout this section. The .land, though timbered, is easily cleared, being light cotton wood and alder with hero and there a bunch of willow bushes. The alder nnd cotton wood are nearly all dead, which makes tho clearing of the land light work, compared with the clearing up of tho green timber, the stumps come out easily, and when tlie clearing is done the field is smooth and clean enough tu run u reaper over. The soil is clayey loam and produces wheat of a vow fine quality; also, oats and barley. Vegetables and root crops of all kinds do well and are easily cultivated. Thore are also prairie or grass lands which lio at tho head of the Mud Bay, which furnish tho settlers in this section with pasture for their stock tho summer. Tho grass when cut makes very good winter food for cattle. Boing able to cut what wild hay thoy noed enables settlers to cultivate the lund they clour up, which is a very great advantage in commencing a new farm in a timber country. Tlio Nicomekl river passes along tho south sido of this settlement, and is destined to carry at an early day the trade of this section. It also furnishes tlio settlement with whatever quantity of salmon or trout they may desire. Thero are also largo numbers of deer or boar; tho lust numod species proving themsolvos troublesomo neighbors by their bad habits of making their breakfast or supper, as tho caso may bo, off any stray pig that comus within tlieir reach. Bruin will soon be compelled to retreat to a placo in keeping with his habits, us ovory year his shelter is becoming less, owing to tho progress made in clearing up and cultivating the land. It is expected that a school will be built here this summer, wliich must add very ltutterially to the prosperity and advancement of this important and beautiful section. Bud May is a small sheet of water at tho eastern extremity of Boundary Bay. Into it dischargo the rivers Nicomekl and Serpentine, on which two rivors is situated the settlement commonly known as the Mud Bay settlement. The agricultural land hero is subject to tidal overflow. It is easily dyked, however, and when reclaimed is without exception .the most productive and richest land in the country. Thoro are about ten thousand acres in tho valley, which varies from two to two and a half miles in width. The land, however, is not of a vory uniform quality. Along tho banks of the river it is excellent, easily drained, and having a fall of about two feet, allowing ample chance to thoroughly drain the soil, but in towards the centre whero there is no natural drainage tho lund is peat, and, in many places, cranberry bog. This can be subdued and mado available for agriculture by a thorough system of drainage, but at tlie present time, and while there is much uncultivated land of a better quality, it will not pay to spend time and capital in reclaiming these bogs. The soil along tlie bay and banks of the rivors is of the most productive charactor, as high as one hundred bushels of oats having been harvested off a single acre of dyked laud. Vegetables of all kinds do well and grow to au enormouB size, and as thero are no summer freshets, and the highest overflow from extreme high tides -in winter not exceeding eighteen inches, it will be readily understood that tho reclaiming of these lands is but light work. Added to this the facilities for shipping produce afforded by the two rivers and it will be easily understood by all that tide will be ono of the most productive and important sections on the Lower Mainland. Game of all kinds abounds throughout and affords excellent sport for the huntsman during tho full and winter months. Mud Bay itself is renowned for its oysters and shell fish of all kinds. A company from New Westminstor havo obtained a lease of the oyster bods here and intend cultivating' thom. The Bay is also tho great seining ground for tlie Fraser Rivor fisheries in the fall. Many thousand cohoes (salmon) are taken here overy fall and shipped to tho Fraser River canneries, somo of .which draw no inconsiderable amount of thoir supply of fall fish from Mud Bay. A postoffice has beon established at tho residence of Wm. Woodward, of Mud Bay last winter, and tho Local Govornment propose to placo a steam ferry on Eraser Rivor between Brownville and New Westminster, thus connecting Surrey with its principal source of supply and market. There are, also, two extensive fisheries in operation within tho limits of the corporation. Surrey was meliorated as u Municipality in 1860, all taxes collected by the Council are laid out in improvements of roods, bridges, etc., throughout tho Municipality.

Ottawa, April 2L—The Sub-Committee on Liquor Legislation met Saturday morning, Dalton McCarthy in the chair. Professor Foster appeared and asked to be examined in answer to the memorial of the Licensed Vitual- lers' Association and the points raised by Mr, Hodge, its representative. He was questioned nt some length opposing the proposition mado to permit the taverns, saloons and shops to sell liquor until 9 p. m. Ho favored accepting o suggestion of Hodge's that certain liours be specified on Sundays for the sale of liquor to guests at hotels, in place of the present mode. The committee agreed to chunge tho recommendation as to the basis of population on which licenses nre to be issued in municipalities, and adopt that of the Ontario low of one tavern license for every 250 persons of the thousand, and one for overy additional 400. Applications for new houses in cities, towns and villages must bo accompanied by o petition from one-fourth of the rate-payers in the polling subdivision. Petitions against granting such licenses may be presented, and when ono-half of thp rate-payers so petition the license cannot bo issued. The recommendation as to shop licenses will bo that one be allowed for every 400 population up to 1,200, and after thot ono for every 1,000. The committee propose that iu rural districts the number to be issued shall be left in the hands of the Commission. They will also recommend the appointment of inspectors and sub-inspectors to see to the enforcement of the law. It was stated that an addition to the bill will be made legalizing the present Provincial law until the Aot now being drafted comes into force on the lst of January next, tho time proposed when it will take effect.

CHAPTER XXXIX. THE IAST HOME-COMING. (Continued.] A day or two after his arrival Sir Duncan and his daughter came to call. It soemed to the lattor that in this way tho inevitable meeting would be more easily got over, and that sho might second without romark the invitation which her father intended to givo. Ronald thought her depressed and Bilent; but though he spoke to hor but little, he paused for nn instant before he replied to Sir Duncan's request that he would come and stay at Juver- allan. Muriol observed the pause and fillod it. "We hope you will bo able to come," she said, in a lower tone than waB usual with her. "Certainly; it will give mo great pleasure—tlmt is, if you will let mo defer my visit till I have been to Edinburgh. I want to soo the best surgeon at once, so as to determine my plans for the future." "And what will you do if you lmvo to leave tho service?" "I do not know. My mothor will not lot ino speak of emigration unless she accompanies me, and I should require to be very Buro of my prospects before I could allow that." "Indeed! I'm going to put a spoke in that wheel, too," snid Miss Hardwicke. "If you don't take care you'll havo two old ladies coming to look after you—I can't be left to myself again. "If yon will wait till I've got an American farm in good order for you, you will be welcome," Baid Ronald, smiling, and it appeared to Muriel, aa she listened, that he spoko with a light heart. Surely, if thero over had been any truth in the idea at which Laura Harris had so plainly hinted, if he ever had entertained any fueling beyond friendship for herself, it must havo died out ere now. What oIbo, indeed, could sho expect, when she liad treated him with such marked coldness and mistrust—and that, too, at a timo whon all his friends woro praising him? She had set herself apart from him, nud now lie bad ceased to regard her. Thinking tliese things, Bhe felt herself humbled in hor own eyes, and waited patiently for tho verdict of the surgeon, and the consequent decision as to Ronald's plans. He waa uot loft in doubt aa to his future. He would recover to a certain extent the uso of his arm; but he would be wiso if ho loft the servico, and underwent no further exposure to thoso vicissitudes of climate in which the British soldier is oxpected to do his work. He accepted the decision quietly, though, when it came to the point, it was not easy to quit the profession and the regiment which hud been hia homo for so many years. "What will you do with tlmt old uniform, Konald ? It's no use, is it?" asked his mother one dny, when she found him laying awny together his soldier's clothes. "I shall keep it, mother," he answered, with an odd laugh. "You may think it sentimental, but I couldn't throw* away that coat, stained aa it is. As long as I live my heart will warm to tho old tartan and tbe sound of the pipes. It's hard lines tbat I shan't be in the deur old corps when it comes home, though I'll see it land, if I'm anywhere in Britain." "There's a deal of romance in tho laddie," said Miss Hardwick, to whom Mrs. Bennett repeated this speech— 1 'a deal of romance. But mark my words: he'B leaving tho army at tho right time; if he stayed in it the romance would burn as dull as tho tiro Jean lit with damp kindling this morning." "Why bo?" said Mrs. Bennett. "Why bo ? Why, becauao Ronald's a lad of spirit, and he'll not go daundor- ing about with a cigar in hia mouth, and clothes on hia back that make him look like a tailor's advertisement. It puts me past my patience to aee the young officers toddling down the town together of an afternoon. Don't you tell rae Ronald would be content to do the like!" replied Miss Anne, energetically; and Mis. Bennett did not contradict her, but nodded her bend sagely, and Baid, "Quite true, my dear —quite true." CHAPTER XL. TIME BRINGS EVEUVTHLVO TO HIM WHO CAN WAIT. Ronald's promised visit to Inverallan was brief, and seemingly nnevontful. He must hurry away, ho said, nnd begin his inquiries respecting farms in America, for he could not endure to be idle longer than was necessary. Very soon his plans began to tako definite shape, and once and again he came over from Stirling to consult Sir Duncan, who listened and advised, and regretted his decision. "I think it'a a great pity you should go away, Ronald; you had much better marry and stay at homo," aaid lie; but Ronald made no reply. A second time ho had made tho suggestion, when ovor their claret they were discusaing the merits of American land companies. "You'll have to find a wifo out there, sinco you cannot mnke up your mind to Bottlo at home," said Sir Duncan. This time Ronald looked bim in tho face. "You havo said that before, Sir Duncan, and as I am to leavo soon I may as well answer it. I shall novur marry, for I can lovo but one woman in the world, and sho would think mv love an insult if I were to uttor it." "Are you sure of tbat?" said Sir Duncan, slowly, nnd answoring hi- companion's startled look, he contin ued,"Mydear boy, I think I have known it sinco my daughter and I road a note of yours, writton beforo hor marriage." "No doubt you lmvo, Sir Duncan.'1 "Then I can only say that, if you choose to speak, you have iny permission, so far as that is needed, and, I may add, my good wishes, "Aro you in earnest? -is it possible, Sir Duncan?" stammored Ronald. "Certainly I am in earnest. No woman should consider herself othorwiso than honorod by such a faithful affection as yours; and I think n woman might well trust you." "Ah, that is just what Mm. Leslio does not do," "I am not so suro. At least, you can ask an explanation of her mistrimt, if you choose." "If I choose! Good lioavoni. Sir Duncan, say if I dared! Why, it scorns madness!" cried Ronald, springing up and turning awny from bis old friend. flo leaned against the man tub niece behind him in a whirl of conflicting hones And fears. "I will rink my fato," ho said pres ently, "since you do not think it unpardonable presumption; but I must choose a moment when I am cooler," he added, smiling. "You need not go home till late tomorrow/' replied Sir Duncan, "and now we will join the ladies." Ronald made his opportunity somewhat skillfully on the following afternoon; for, though ho had hardly a spark of hope, he did not wish to undergo ono needless hour of suspense. "lt ia a long timo since I havo been in the picture-gallery, Mrs. Leslio; I have a fancy to soo your favorite old Jacobite again." said ho. "Let us go and look at him, then," replied Muriel, and unsuspectingly led the way to the low ottoman which was placed opposite to the picture of which she was so proud. (,Do you remember telling me'hero that you liked soldiers? You were a very little girl then." "Yes, I remember, and how you said you wished to be ono." "Naturally, ainco you always liked tho profession. Your word waa law to me always," said Ronald, quickly, and Muriel colored ns sho glanced up at him. "Mra. Leslie, will you do mo a favor?" "If I can. What is it ?" sho aaked, almost timidly. "Will you toll me what it was I said or did that made you think I had not acted truthfully ? I hoard of your impression from Sir Duncan, though I did not need any one to toll mo that your friendship for me was lessoned." "Dou you remember driving with mo to the plantations? I naked you about your friends." "I remember it only too well. I wna ao happy that day, till we wore gotting out of the carriage, when your manner changed nll at once. What had I done ?" "Vou snid you did not even know whero any of your friends wero—and I know Mra. Jenkins waa in Edinburgh, and that you hnd seen her," replied Muriol, very low. There wns n moment's silence, and Ronnld laughed a short, bitter laugh of scorn at the thought that he bad oven for a moment fancied he could win this woman.- Why, Bhe had not even troubled herself to understand what ho had told ber of himsolf I How beautiful she lookod just now, sitting there! for alio had suddenly sunk on to the ottoman. How bonutiful, and how utterly out of his reach! Ho would at least speak to hor honostly for onco —would toll her tho wholo truth—and then freo himself from chains ho had worn too long. "So it was poor little Ellen who unconsciously caused me ao much pain! Perhaps I was a fool to feel it ar, deeply as 1 did. You never guessed how your changed yoice and cold looks stung me. You hnvo never cared to understand what has beon the main influence in my wholo lifo. Why ahould you, indeed? But I will speak now before I leave you, Mrs. Leslie, and you must liateii—just this once. I answered your question quite truthfully. Had I not told you I had no friends nniong the sergeants' daughters nnd wives I Friends! Did you think I could drop quito easily from your society and your friendship to theirs ? For you were my friend once—when we wore happy children—and I lovod you then, and have loved you always! Once I fancied it would bo enough lor me to livo near you—to help you, to be near nt hnnd if you needed mu—and I aought no greater reward than your kindness and your good-will; but that dream is over. You mistrusted me nnd doubted mc, nnd when 1 went away I knew that tho life I hud spent hero could never bo resumed. Now that I have returned I know more. I know that I am not atrong enough to remain so nenr you and yet bo far away. You nre too beautiful—too dear. But I havo courage enough to leavo you forever, and mako a home for my mother elsewhere; and all tho more bo Hint I have dured thia once to say what is iu my heart. You nro the only woman I ever loved, nnd I have lovod you beyond everything in this world. Now can you pardon me enough to bid mo good- He waited for a reply, but none came. Muriel's face was hidden iu her hands, and he saw that sho was trembling. ' 'Not one word of farewell ? Then I must go unforgtveu. Good-bye, Mrs. Leslie." He spoke slowly and Badly, now that tho passion of his words Imd passed, and slowly he turned away nnd moved a step or two toward tho-door. "Ronnld!" * It was tho faintest whisper; but ho hoard it, and aa ho paused and looked at hor the fleeting glimpse he caught of her face ore she hid it again brought him back to hor side. "Yes. What have you to say to me?" ho askod, in an eager whisper. "Don't—go—awny from mo!" "Muriel!'1 He had not uttered tho sweet old namo for yoars, and now it cunie tremblingly, aa ho knelt bcaide her, and, vory gently touching the slender wrists, tried to d.aw her bauds away from her face. Suddenly the hands yielded themselves up to him, nnd tearful, happy eyes looked into his. "Forgive ino, Ronnld. I will tell you about it all somo day. I wus very wrong, but—" Wiint the "but" wuh remained unsaid, as Ronald drew hur to him and know that nt last ho had won his crown. Iu the first tumult of this sudden change he found but few words; but by-and-by bo rose, and still holding her hands bade her look up nnd answer him onco fully. "Let me hear you sny you aro content. Say that you are sure you enro —thnt you nro suro you aro not afraid to trust mo ?" "Quito sure, Ronald." "Oh, Muriol! my Muriel! This is beyond my dreams! My queen, what a beautiful thing our lifo shall bo!" "I am vory glad, iny dear," Baid Sir Duncan, when his daughter sought him iu tho library. "Thore's little onough lovo of n noblo kind in the world, and such affection na Ronnld's doBorvos to bp rewnrded. I'm growing old, too, and I can loavo you contentedly in his caro. Well, well, I'll Bay no moro of tlmt, for be must not soo tears in your eycB to-day. By-tho-byo, Muriol, perhaps I hnd bettor toll Aunt Alicia?" "Pour Aunt Alicin'! Yoh, I think you hnd," replied Muriel, smiling' nud Sir Duncan wont to find his sister nt once, and throw hor into a state of indiscribnbte confusion. "But, good gracious, my dear brother, the man is of no family whatever!" cried alio, "Why, ho has been n private soldier! Ob, I told you thin would happen! Muriol to marry tlio minister's son] It is terrible! To bo sure. Mm. Bennott wns n Mncgregor of Glen Monncb; but dear, dear, what Is that?" "Hor people have farmed thu Glen for fivo generations; that is almost n pedigree,isn't it ?" put In Sir Duncan, domuroly. (To tit'CoiillM.t'1.)
