The French and the Hovas. France lias three wars on her hands at the present moment, and in every instance the result appears most uncertain. In Asia the French are confronted in their aggressive designs by not only the Black Flags, but the whole Chinese nation. In Africa the contest may not be exactly a national one, bnt it involves Important national interests. The French commander does not seem at ill equally matched against Stanley, and the position is very discouraging. In Madagascar France saw easy victory, but her task may not have been properly understood. The Rev. Mr. Sibree, of the Mauritius, seems to think so at least. He snys that "those who know Madagascar and understand the character of the Hova Malagasy have been not a little astonished to see the opinions expressed in most French papers, and followed by many English ones, as to the probable speedy termination of this war. We read in French newspapers that "Franca is waiting for the submission of the Hovas, which cannot now be long delayed!" These writers look at the subject entirely from a European standpoint. In Europe it would no doubt be safe to conclude that when the chief seaports of a country were in the hands of an enemy tbe submission of that country could not long be deferred; but it is forgotten 'hat the Hovas •nd other interior tribes aro not iu any way dependent for the necessaries of life upon foreign commerce. Their own country supplies them with rice and vegetables, with sugar and coffee, with abundance of cattle •nd poultry, with iron and timber and fuel, and they manufacture with their own simple appliances cloths of silk, cotton, hemp, and other fibres. They can get on far better without the help of foreigners than foreigners can do without them. True, they will miss the cheap cottons and prints of America and Lancashire ; but native handicraft will be all the more encouraged. It is certain that they can subsist for years in the interior with but little discomfort were all foreign supplies cut oft". Because the Hovas have wisely retired from the coast, knowing themselves unable to cope with modern artillery, and because they have formerly made many concessions rather than fight, the French mistake their action for tame submission to any outrageous demand. But, instead of tbe war being ended, it is not yet fairly begun. If France holds the ports and does nothing more, these ports will bo a most costly and useless possession, because no trade will- pass through them. The Hovas will continue to cut off all supplies from the interior, and tbey will of course spend nothing upon foreign goods. At present, and for a long-time yet to come, the chief loss and damage arising from the French actiou has fallen upon the foreign traders, and not upon the Malagasy, least of all upon the Hovas, On the other hand, if France sends an expedition to the capital, that will require the equipment of a force of from 20,000 to 30,000 men, who will be exposed to the nuhealthiness of the climate, snd will have to traverse a country without roads and through forests snd mm-asses, obliged to oarry all their supplies with them, nn<J constantly harassed by guerilla attacks from an enemy who knows the country, and can take every advantage of a defending against an attacking force, It is quite certain that a desperate resistance will be made by tho Hovas, who possess s dogged tenuity of character which is not at all properly appreciated by foreigners, Not only the men, but even tbe women snd children are determined to resist to the last, and to join together ss one in tbe defence* of their country, .lather than allow their capital to fall into the hands of the enemy they will themselves Ntiton fire, and then retreat to inaccessible parts of the island. This Is the firm |iersuasion of some who have just oome from the interior of Madagascar, who have known the Horas for msny years, snd have Been ths quiet determination which now fills the minds of overy olass of the community. Were England mid France to unite in* guaiin.teeing the independence of Madagascar, roads would be made, foreign capital on. couraged, and a rich and fertile island, the third largest in the world, would be opened up to Europr-an enterprise and trade. But war car- ried on by France into the interior means the destruction of most of the good work already done, the throwing back of till enlightenment, civilization, and progress, and the pros- pect of misoi y aud bloodshed for nn indefinite period for a people who 'should rather have the sympathy and help of all enlightsmMiiaUoi s. Should France eventually succeed, it will be a dearly-bought victory, bringing her no glory, but shame and dishonor." British Columbian. VOLUME 24 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C„ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1883. NUMBER 43 Life on the Planets. REASONS WHY THEY ARE NOT INHABITED. Prof, McFarland, of the Ohio State University, in the Sidereal Messenger, says:—Thirty yours ago tho question of the Imbilability of the planets was widely, and, in some instances, in-, temperately discussed. Several volumes were written, pro nnd con, the writers mostly seeming' to think that they had a direct commission from on high to settle the question or to settle their opponents, which things thoy proceeded then nnd thore tn do. Ami both sides about equally forgot or din- regarded the facts, nnd, with great heat, argued on general principles. An article in the .Turn- number ef the Popular Science Monthly, entitled "The Oost of Life." and which wns in Sart criticised in a lnte numbor of tho fmenger, is n kind of renewal of tho useless debate, and isolothed inlojno equally ns conclusive ns wus that of tbe original controversy. The points given lately touching the weight of a man on Jupiter and on Murs were included ns a part of the proof that tho*o planets are not habitnblo. To pass in review all tbe points of error would require an article of too great length for the pages of this journal, so I shall confine myself pretty ohisoly to a few of the more important onos. The same author, speaking of Mercury, Bays;—"With a temperature <>f boiling water in the frigid zones, and ri^d-hot iron at'the equator," etc.— therefore there can be no life on tho planet. But thero is no proof of any such temperature, nod in the nnt ure of the ense there can be none. Wherefore the conclusions are of no force, Thu error consists in virtually assuming that the clnnnte of a place depends solely on its distance from tbo sun-- whereas this is only one of a hundred causes. It is well known that even in the torrid zone, at an elevation of about three and one-half miles, snow does not melt;, tbat century after century "eternal11 boows whiten loftv peaks in all latitudes. The temperature of a place ou the earth's surf new depends on many influences, any ono or several of which mny be greatly modified or annulled by the other, so that thero is no general ride for climate. As a part of the multitude of things to be taken into consideration, ns touching the matter in hand, we may name these, viz., tho latitude, the elevation nbovo tho sen-level, the ocean currents, tho direction of tho prevailing winds, tbo presence and trond of mountain ranges, the amount of vapor usual to the atmosphere, the degree of cloudiness, the quantity of rain and snow fall, the size of the body of land, tho amount of land in close proximity, and its surroundings, the nature of tho soil, the amount nnd kind of vegetation, the density nnd height of the atmosphere, the length ef tlie day, the obliquity of tbe sun's rays, and the thousand and one other things which go to make up tbe whole temperature and climate. Of the greater part of these—indeed, almost every one of thom—as exhibited on other planets, it is absolutely impossible to know anything at all; and, ns a matter of cnurne- no one can speak intelligently of the climate on any planet except our own. But should nil those items be known, the further question nrises whether it is not possible lhat nnimated heinue could live in an environment totally unlike that which surrounds us, The conclusion of tho wholo matter, so far as astronomy and physics can now tell, is this;—That tho four large outer planets havo not sufficiently cnoleil down to allow life ou their surface, sueh as we see on thu earth; thnt Mars gives all the teloscnpio nnd ono stereoscopic probabilities of conditions enpa- tilde with life ns wo see it; that tbo earth certainly for millions of yearn has been ooverod with multifnriouH life; that of Venus nnd Mercury wo have no certain knowledge; and that tho satellites aro protty certainty not fitted tor sueh life as is on tho earth; that, in particular, our moon has no water and no atmosphere, consequently no climatp or vegetable lifo, If the sun and tbe planets continually lose heat, then thero will oome a time in the far futuro when she sun itsolf shall go out in everlasting night, and the planets cool down so that tlio "eternal snow" wonld bo hot compared with the degree of cold through all space where everything shall be dead. For profit don't keep old fowls year after year, except for extraordinary merits, Some few old hens are famous mothers, and are worth keep- lug on that account sometimes. But as a rule, work them off in two years or so, „> A Fortunate Escape.— Mra.

Many serious complaints against tho land system pursued in the Canadian north-west continue to find their way into the newspapers, If half that is published be true, there must be a sufficient grievance to call for searching official enquiry. Tht north-west is embarrassed with disadvantages of many kinds. The climate is extremely severe, the means of intercommunication nre very imperfect, nnd thoro ip a good deal of monopoly hoth in railway and land. Unless relief j fee given in some sliape it is possible the development of that ricli and fertile territory may be seriously retarded. In another column Br. Garrow sets himself right before the public with respect to the inquest on Mrs. Mitchell. Tho evidence before tlio court wns, in some respects, strangely ondicting. Dr. Bently swore that tbe wound found on deceased was made before death, that tho substance found in tho womb was placenta, and thnt the lungs floated •when put in water. Dr. McLeod e,vore that he saw the wound beforo death occurred. Mr. Jackson sworo that the wound was made after death, gave it as his opinion* that the matter found was clotted blood and not placenta, and swore that portions of. the lungs sank. Now we have Dr. Garrow declaring that Mr. Jackson's statements made on oatli are not true! The public can hardly find much difficulty in deciding who is right in such a controversy. Most people who knew the circumstances will be surprised at thu result of the trial of Peter and Jim for the murder of Bailey. The defence was to establish an alibi. That this plea utterly failed must be seen from the statement of the jury when they gave their verdict. They stated tliat they believed Peter and Jim were in the city on the day of the murder.' Tbey could not have been in tliis city and at Katsey at the same time. It follows tfint the Indian witnesses for the defense were not believed by the jury. There seems to be a general , impression that ih the liberation of the prisoners there has been a failure of justice. If the Indians discover that they can clear their tili- enms by false testimony, we are afraid it will soon become as difficult to convict an Indian as it is now to convict a Chinaman. It is said that the C. P. E. syndicate have obtained control of the Credit Valley Railway in Ontario, and arc nbout to acquire the Northern it Northwestern Railways, running from Toronto and Hamilton.to the Georgian Bay. These amalgamations are causing serious alarm. At tho rate at which thoy have been going on for the past year the pros- poets are that the syndicate will very soon own nearly every railway in British North America. Having acquired all the leading roads the syndicate will have a monopoly of Canadian traffic which may produce ' very serious results. They will bo able to fix such rates us they please, and effectually prevent competing lines even after tlie monopoly clauses of the railway act have lapsed through time. The concentration of railways, and the creation of powerful monopolies cannot be viewed complacently by the .people of Canada. Anti-Settlement Predictions. Our readers are asked to peruse the address sent by Mr. Dunsmuir to the people of Nitnaimo, which will be found in another column. Therein will bo found muoh solid food for reflection. Mr. Dunsmuir's statements are pointed, and many of them aro known to the general public as facts whicli cannot be obscured by opposition sophistry. But it is quite certain the opposition organs do not want facts. They seem to ' be concerned chiefly about the discovery of some means by which die defeat of the present progressive government may be accomplished. They fancied the settlement bill might do this, and they have been discussing it with a zeal and unfairness which leaves the impression that it is the Inst remaining hope. We are persistently asked to believe that a majority of the peoplo aro opfosed to thia bill. When asked for proof of tho assertion the organs are dumb. There certainly has been no expression of public opinion that would li-ad to such a conclusion. We are now told thut when the house meets it will throw overboard not only the settlement bill, but the government also, If one goes it is very likely the other will follow, but we know of no circumstances which point to tht fulfilment of tbe organs' predictions. The house which passed the settlement bill ten months ago by an overwhelming majority could hardly reject it now after both the provincial and Dominion govern' ments have committed themselves beyond recall to its provisions; and we really do not for a moment anticipate an event which would bring such disaster to the province.

Remember the conversazione in the Drill Shed to-night in aid of the Holy Trinity bell tower fund. Our citizens took advantage of the mow on Monday, and quite a number of sleighs were on the streets. Mr. A. T. D. MoElmon has returned from the east, and it is reported lie will open an office in Victoria.

It is not now expected that all the raits wilt be laid to Emory before January. Mr. Aikman, registrar-general for this province, has been offered the appointment of Dominion land agent, and it Is believed he wilt accept. Complaints are made about the coasting nn Mnry atreet. Coasting on the sidewalk after dark is very dangerous sport, and ahould on no account be permitted. Manitoba farmers are complaining because the price of wheat hns lately fallen about 20 cents a bushel. The fall ia owing to a rise in railway rates since the close of navigation. Mr. T. S. McGillivray was sworn in before Judge McCroight as stipendiary magistrate yesterday.- We believe he will open a court at Port Moody this morning, where there are several prisoners awaiting trial. To-day, we believe, tho semi-weekly mail service up river ceases. Hereafter, during the winter mouths, mails for up country will leave every Wednesday, and will be carried by the British Columbia Express Co. • - In reporting the Indian-Chinese case whioh was heard in the council' chambers last Wednesday it was stated that Mr. Black appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Eckstein for the defence. It was just the other way. Notice has been given by Messrs. Corbould & McCell that application will be made to the legislature fur au-, thority to construct a railway from thb south branch of theSimilkamoen river, near Princeton, to the 0. P. R- neb?

His wife and mother were with.him, and all had a very narrow escape. The sloop, containing all his money and effects, was totally lost. The office of Governor-General has cost the oountry over a million and a half dollars in fifteen years. As a salary, the Governor-General receives $60,000 yearly, and his expenses amount to about $13,000. . The keep- up of RideauHall also requires a liberal expenditure.

The case of the Queen v. Peter and Jim, chorgud with the murder of Bay- ley, occupied Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until about 6 o'clock. As has already been said, tho defence attempted to prove nn alibi, nnd 19 witnesses were called for that purpose. Some of them eworo thnt Peter and Jim vote at home on the' day of tho murder, but on cross examination thoy failed. _ Tlio evidence for the crown was virtually the same as presented at the inquest lust summer. Mr. T. Herring testified, in addition, that on the duy of the murder Peter left a gun with him in the morning, Baying ho would call for it next day. Iu the afternoon he came and got it and i-aid he hnd changed his mind; Charley Stewart, an Indian in the employ uf Mr, MoDonough, snid that "on the day of the murder he saw two men in a canoe following Bayley up the river about onu or two hours before Robertson started. This confirmed Robertson's evidence and confession. Robertson, who is undor sentence of death for the same murder, was examined at great length, and his evidence was exceedingly contradict cry. - He declared very positiyoty that Peter and Jim planned und executed the murder. The learned judge charged very strongly in favor of the prisoners. After an absence of about half an hour the jury returned with a verdict of not guilty. Before announcing the verdict the forman said they wore satisfied that Peter and Jim were in the city on the day of the murder, and that the murder was not committed by Robertcon alone. He did not think, however, that the evidence against the prisoners was sufficient to convict them. On Monday the two Chinamen, Ah Fin and Ah Sing, found guilty of larceny, were sentenced to 2 years in the penitentiary, nnd the court closed. Kicking Horse Pass. Reliable information comes to us from the east to the effect that Kick ing Horse has certainly been abandoned for the C. P. Railway hue and parties are now out searching foi*" a new pass. The trouble lies not in Kicking Horse but in the Rogers Pass in the Selkirk range, which is pronounced impracticable by the company's ungi- iiuera. For 30 miles an expenditure of $400,000 it mile would bo necessary, and even then u gradient of 280 feet to the mile would be necessary. This is, of course, out of the question and uu- less a better pass than tho Rogers can he had the line will have Hi be brought into tho provinco by wny of Yell-'W- head—thu pass originally* selected by Sandford Fleming. —Cohnid. Yesterday the government received an official dispatch from Ottawa announcing tbat Yellowhead pass has been abandoned und tlmt a line has been adopted crossing the Roily mountains by tho Bow river puss and the Sotkirk range, through what is known ns Rogers pass, by Beaver creek and Ilieciltuwaut river valleys and through Eagle creek puss tn Kamloops. This announcement ought to put tu rest all reports such us was published yesterday. The question of route and practicability may be regarded us permanently settled.— Colonist. <■ Winnipeg, Nov. 10.—General 9^ Egan, accompanied by Major Rogers nnd Mr. Ross, Supt. of Construction, have returned from the ond of the track. They made the distance, 900 miles, in 40 hours. He reports the line completed to tho summit of tlio Rockies. 120 miles west of Calgarry, and will be operated to Calgarry all winter. There has been uo suspension of work. Tlie road will bo completed to the Pacific in two years. Major Rogers reports a definite location from tho summit of the Rockies to tho summit of the Selkirks, and seven miles of the preliminary hue from the Selkirks to Columbia river, forty*three miles. The maximum grade in the mountains is 110 feet tu tho milo. Thore is not much tunnelling necessary. In tho upper Kicking Horse Pass there ate two tunnels aggregating 1,000 feet and in the lower, six uf 2,400 feot. The Howse Pass is practicable, but longer and more exponsivo than the Kicking Horse. Three hundred miles will complete connection with the Pacific Prom Clinton. (Correspondence of tho Columbian.)

This was not for the six a handsome reward for their toil, but the gold is described as of the most splendid quality, the largest nugget taken by these men being worth $27.

Editor Columbian.—Ih your report of the cose, Queen vs. Masters, in yonr issue of the 24th, appears tho extraordinary evidence of a man named Jackson, I will not tako up your valuable space discussing It, as the principal points have already been refuted by Or. Bentley, and will content mynelf with a broad and flat contradiction. In no particular pertaining to tho post mortem was he correct—the mode of procedure, the post mortem appearances, tho deductions arrived at therefrom, and tho relations between Br. Bentley and myself, The legal construction put upon the faot of my not being called to rebut that statement, or in support of Br. Bentley's statement, by His Lordship and the learned counsel for the defense, and the fact that tlie learned counsel for the crown did not deny tlie soft (more properly hard) impeachment that my evidence would support Jackson's in preference to Dr. Bentley'a statement, I maintain, iu view of tlie legal" presumption, that I had a right to be hoard, if not in -tho interest of the crown, in self'defence. Is not my sworn testimony in connection with the coroner's Inquest assailed ? What is to account for the apparent change of opinion that must have taken place on my part if that presumption he true in fact? Tne truth of the matter is simply this: that the legal interpretation is true only as a point of law -not as a matter of fact. My evidence to-day (yes, to-day, and the trial is over, and in due deference to the opinion of tliose distinguished gentlemen of extensive and varied experience) would ho the some precisely that it was at the inquest. I consider the silent testimony of the unfortunate lady deceased the best answer to the treatment upheld and teaching, inculcated. It was both absurd and illogical to look for outside means of infection and other causes. and seek to establish them as primary in producing death when the one cause— that of self-polution from retained placenta, consistent with the post mortem appearances, remained undisposed of. In conclusion, Mr, Editor, let me ask did you ever know or ever hear tell of a case iu which a self-appointed nnd therefore irresponsible layman had as much weight m the witness-box as a duly accredited M.

What wus probably thoir last communication with the government of France was tho delivery of the ultimatum of the Chinese, tbat tin at tuck upon Bucninh will bu regarded as a declaration of war.

Berlin, Nov. 23.—The defeat of Hicks Pasha by Egyptian rebels caused a painlul sensation hero, as eight German officers were with tlie Egyptian expedition, It is the unanimous opinion tliat England cannot withdraw her forces from Egypt, and that she must avenge the denth of Commander Mon- crief, the Consul at Suakin, and others who wero aetivo opponents of tho slave trade. Cairo, Nov. 23.—A telegram from Mr. Power, the artist, who was with Hicks Pasha's expedition at Khartoum, reports that the first attack of tho Egyptian army was successful.

MR.DUNSMUIR'8 ADDRESS TO NANAIMO. Mr. Dunsmuir having beon invited by tho people of Nanaimo to attend a mooting and explain Iub views on tlio settlement bill and island railway, returned the following reply: Gentlemen,—I' have received from a number of you a requisition to attend a public meeting to bo head in tho Institute to-morrow evoning for1 the purpose of explaining my "views on the gigantic land monopoly that will bo created by the ratification of the present Settlement Bill." I regret that important business matters prevent my responding in person to your request, but I beg leave to place upon paper for your pcruEal some of my views and certain facts bearing upon tho subject. The "Island Railway"'is no new thing. It has, in one form or another, been boforo tlio country for many years, and during the post four or five years it has been going a-begging among capitalists. In 1881 tho Walkem government urgontly pressed it upon thVO. P. R. syndicate, through Sir Charles Tuppor —the provincial govornment offering the lund and the Dominion government offering tho money subsidy; but that powerful corporation refused to have anything to do with it. In 1882 it was offered to tho so- called Clements' company, which company engaged to construct it in consideration of tho lund grant alone; but that company failed to find the capita) or even the money required to be deposited ub security, uud so thut scheme fell through, but not before it was mado manifest thnt it was a wild speculation taken up by mon destitute of capital.' Capitalists wouldn't touch it! Now let us compare the Clements scheme with thu present one: Tho Clements scheme required the surveys to bo commenced iu (jO days, ami ten ..miles of road completed tho first year, ten. the second, nnd ten (lie third; and Boon; whorens tho present scheme requires the work to be "commenced furthwith and completed within 3i years." Tfio Clements scheme permitted a "cheap -aiid nasty-t-rond, with any class of iron raits, and sucti gradients, curvatures and structures ub the company pleased; whereas tho presont contract is governed by tho strictest specifications, which call for steel rails, and gradients, curvatures, structures, &c.<, ns good as tho best on tho C, P. R,, and better than most roads on the continent. In a word, under thu Clements scheme, the cheapest mid most worthless class of railway could havo been built; whereas tho present one requires the best class of road to be found on the continent, I am safo in asserting that tho difference in tha cost of thu two muds is nt least equal to the money subsidy to be paid by tho Dominion government under the present scheme. There is another vitally important difference between tho Clements scheme und tho present uno, deserving of special notice. Under thu former, the land grant was larger than under tho presont. Under tho former the land was to bo at onco handed over to the company to deal with absolutely, without any restriction whatever as to price, &o. Under the present scheme the company gets no control whatever over thb land till tho road is completed, until which timo'theso lands aro to be administered freely by the provincial land department at the nominal price of one dollar an aero to actual settlors, while tho rights of .squatters nro more liberally dealt with and carefully guarded. You talk about a "gigantic lund monopoly;" but is not tho sting taken out of tho so-called monopoly by this condition,- Su far as the interests of settlement are concerned there will bo no monopoly nt all, but on the contrary- tho interests of settlement are carefully guarded. Again; undor tho Clements sohemo the railroad might have given Nanaimo tho go-by altogether; whereas under tho present, it must mid will como to Nanaimo, with the power and prospect of milking it nn integral part of tho great C. P. R. by meaiiB of a steam ferry nt your very door! No provision was mado in the Clements schomc for ■■ telegraph servico in connection with tho railway; whereas, tho present sohemo culls for a lirst- chiss telegraph line and service. Under tho Clements Bchenio there were no guarantees whatever that tho Bole control of the railway nud lands would not pass into the hands of foreign and antngoniiitic monopolists whose policy might be to injur*.; our interests; but nnder the presont sohemo the, pormunout control of the whole enterprise is vested in and seemed to onu of yourselves—one who has grown up aminty.it ym\ and whose. interests uro thoroughly identified with your own. Let me say in conclusion, and in all sincerity, that any opposition to the Settlement Bill comes rather late, The opposition of Nanaimo cannot stop tho railway, but it may inflict injury upon herself, and that in more ways than one. The Sottjeinent Bill w«w. passed by iho provincial itjmalatiiio by )iv»tu,',( 10 to 6, Acting ijitflur (hut bilfthc Dominion govornment havo awarded the contract for thu railway aud telegraph to mo ami my associates, und the local government havo .-.auctioned the net I, on my part, have paid over $250,000 security money, and have beon carrying on the survoys preparatory to commencing vigorous construction in early Bpring. The Dominion govornmont cannot go back on that contract. Tho provincial government cannot go buck on it,' The local legislature wiUnotgo back on tho amended Settlement Bill, which is very much moro favorable to the provinco than the one it passed by a vote of 10 .to 6. But even if our legislature Bhould bo fur stultify itself as, to do so, tlie Dominion government Would still havo nil tho power they required under the existing bill, uud tho work would go on—not on terms so favorable to the province, it is true, but still it would go on. Having put my hands to tho plough, I am not the man to turn back, I have the contract and I am going to build the railway and telegraph, and operate them too, in spite of any opposition emanating from jealous,individuals who would act the part of tho fabled dog-Mii tfio manger; snd in faithfully and vigorously carrying out tl.e contract I have the satisfaction of knowing that I shall be acting in the true interests of the province in general and. of my own constituents in, particular, no matter what may bo thought now by misguided persons. I have the honor to remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, Robert Dunbmuju. ChlUlvimck Council. Council met on the *J0th inst. Present Seo.-R, Ashwell (Reeve), and Councillors A. C. Wells, Thos.

(CuiitlnUuJ,) "I wns walking early one morning in the lioulevards ot Paris, when I noticed a tall soldierly man bofore mo with two supdrb deer-hounds; tna aniinala as well as their master seemed to attract great observation, and many beaido myself paused to admire them. All at once ono of lhe hounds stopped and uttered an unoasy whine; his waster stopped also, and turned round, as if expecting sumo ono; as ho did ao, I caught sight of the bronzed beard and noble features of tho sick soldier. I hastonod my steps to accoBt him, but beforo I could reach him, a young man galloped past on an Arab, and1 then suddenly reined him up, and in a moment Allan had turned into tho road in obedience to his quick signal, and I lost him, but not before I had recognized tho rider as Herwald Delorme." "Oh, what a pityl" I exclaimed. ''Nay," returned Misa Vivian, quietly; "it*was enough for me to see them well ond happy, and in each _ other's company; wo shall meet again some day." Here a mossaga was brought from Mrs. Kgertun, begging Miss Vivian to aing. She rose directly, and put her hand in Dudley's arm with a cheerful acquiescence tliat was truly amiable, especially as she had before observed to ine that she disliked singing in public. As she crossed the room, I noticed all eyes followed her graceful figure, and when she commenced her song, t breathless silence succeeded to the buzzing of the many voices. She sang, ns I know she would, with pathos and deep fooling, regulated by tt highly cultivated tnste, and with a voice at once powerful and sweet. Cheerfully as she had commenced, she complied oiice and again, and thon without waiting for her justly merited appluuse, put her hand again in Dudley's arm. "Will you take me to my hostess, Mr. Mortimer? I am certain Dominique is waiting for me by this time." "You are not going ao early, surely!" said Dudley, earnestly, and in a tone of real regret. "I must, indeed. I have a heavy day's work before me to-morrow, and we start tor Calais tho next duy; but I have had a very happy evening, thanks to you and your sister." "You are not the only one who has had that," he replied, pleasantly. "Here is Nellie behind you, Miss Vivian." She turned to me with a aweut smile, and pressing my hand warmly, bade me adieu. Dudley took her out to tho carriage, and then came back for me. "I had no idea it wns so late; what a nice evening we havo had; look, the fieople are going, so we had better do ike wise j--wrap up warmly, for there's an awful fog." I was glad to go, for I was anxious to hear wlmt Dudley thought of our new friend, but at my first word ho bade me shut up my mouth, and run ns fast aa I could, so it was nut till we were all sitting cozily round the Sre in the oak parlor that my curiosity was appeased, "Admire her!" said Bruce, senten- tioualy; "why, he can't help doing . that; she ia a very elegant woman, but uot as handsome as our Loo." "Far handsomer, Bruce, you mean." "No, he does not," returned Dudley, quietly, as he atood looking down into the tire. "Miss Vivian is not Bruce's stylo." ''Yes, she iB," retorted hiB brother; "I think her a very superior girl, and a clever one in the bargain, and what's more, I tell you sho will be a great acquisition to our society; she is just the sort of woman fitted to preside over it. I never saw such well-bred manners, uud then what a voico she has!" "And, Dudley, what do you think)1' "That she is very beautiful, and what is better, very good. Bruce would tell you the same, only his head is full of that little baby - faced widow." Bruce laughed and reddened. "Mrs. Sullivnn, do ynu mean? Poor little Laura Sullivnn? Nonsense, Dud- ley*, she haa only lost hor husband ^ajfhl months; besides, I have made Tip my mind that if -either of you marry a widow I won't be at your wedding;" and with these terrific words, I bade thom good night. - That night, and the next, I looked curiously across nt the Priory, and on the following morning after that, ns I was going along High street, a carriage passed ine nt full speed, mid a lady throwing back her long white veil, looked out, and waved to me with hor hand-—it was Marion Vivian! It occurs to me that among the many characters and persons I have touched upon, briefly or othorwiso, I have never mentioned either Mrs. Hazoldcan or Ruse Meredith. Now this will appear at first Bight all tho more strange when I aay that Rose Meredith was my friend, a silent, ro- , served sort of one, to be sure, but still a friond, and ever to bo held by me aa auch, nud her name would certainly have found ita way into these pages over and over again, but that her life and very being wore of necessity incorporated with that of a woman who hnd been my aversion from my youth up, and that was my godmother, Mrs. Hazeldean of flazlitt Park. The cause of this aversion was deep- rooted, and beBt known to myself, though 1 believe I shared it with many other members of my family, particularly with Louie, who was the second goddaughter, for Mra. Hazel- dean was not a woman to bo beloved and respected, and was, in epite of her grand house and great wealth, decidedly and deservedly unpopular. I cannot myself trace the origin of our close connection with one bo uncongenial with our tastes aud feelings. Dudley indeed had told mo that at some time or other of our parents' early married life, Mrs. Hazeldeoti had none my father a kindneBS, and that he had in gratitude selected the child- leu lady at sponsor to his two eldest girls, but whether this was true or not we had now no means of judging. Suffice it to aay that Mra. Haztldean had always exercised a distant and lofty kind of influence over our lives; showing ui kindness hy Tits and starts,' ind exacting iu return nn amount of respect and deference that was at times rather diflicult to yield. For my godmother was not a lovoable woman; hers was one of those natures which, governed through life hy ono strong masterful passion, isolates itself on a pinnacle of its own creation, which, while it demands worship, dues not deign to crave for love. Hers woe indeed a solitary nature, perpetually enveloped in a mantle ef reserve; abovo the puerile weaknesses of humanity, needing no support, perfectly solf-contained, entirely Belf-ab- aorbed. And yot I have often thought that had my godmother been bred up amid less narrowing influences, nnd been taught in her early days to bear and forbear, like the leas favored of God's creatures, she might have become a more lovable and estimable woman; but one hereditary fault, engendered iu childhood and fostered through youth, growing with her growth till it became, not part, but an untirety of herself, proved tho baneful influence of her own and other lives, and this was pride. . Prido of birth, and of her stainless pedigree; of hor ancient acres of wealth, of, her own stem solf, and even of her pride itself —what marvel that with these imperial notions, and exaggerated sense of her own dignity, the Lady of Hazlitt Park should remain within hor own fastnesses, avoided by her neighbors and friends whom her scant courtesy offended, uud leading the lifo of a solitary recluse! Such was Mrs. Hazeldcan in her prime and whon I first remembered hor, but of late years the infirmities of age aud tho slow agonies of an insidious disease had worn deep ravages iu her constitution, under which her haughty temper tiucoumbed, and was replaced in time by a restless and nervous irritability. It had boen a custom tn our family from time immemorial for Louie and mo to pay an annual visit at Hazlitt. Regularly every year a solemn invitation, couched in my godmother's stiff handwriting, came to ub iu the fogs of November, and waB always as solemnly accepted; and now it had come again, following close upon our pleasant Northoru visit. I had hoped to have refused it this year, but Dudley proved inexorable; and, turning a deaf ear to my remonstrances, informed - mo that it was my duty to go, and all tho more a duty thut it was unpleasant to fulfill! "For heaven's Bake, Nellie," he exclaimed, when I had urged him out of all patience, "why should we break through tho old rules that our parents laid down for. us? What if it be an unpleasant duty, it is not worse than former invitations, and it has but to be borno once a year. Pshaw, child! a fortnight is nothing, and the sea-air will do you good." "But wo have the children, Dudley. Think of the children." "I do 'think of them. Is not your invaluable Mrs. Graham able to take chargo of baby and Hennie? and can I not answer for the boys?" "Yea, but you are away all day at the factory, and supposing anything wero to happen!" "Well, are they not away, too? I am not omniscient, but I think I dare answer for the cuiiseijuuces. If Bruce aud I and Mrs. Graham cannot manage to look nfter three children for a fortnight it is a pity. Come, I will have you take Louie with you for companionship or you will be moped," "But you and Bruce will be so dull without us." "Do not be too sure of that. It is possiblo to find a worse fellow thnn Bruce, and when we are hard up for female society, we can go over to the parsonage, or sit with old Charlotte in the kitchen." He seemed much set on it, unnaturally so, I thought, till 1 remembered how anxious he wns ever to follow his father's example to the letter, and to honor the friends he honored; bo, though not moro than half convinced, I wrote a reluctant acceptance of tho invitation, and with a heavy heart prepared for the Hitting, for I disliked Hazlitt Park as much aa its mistress, and perhaps when I have stated my reasons more fully, the reader wilt sympathize with me. Mra. Hazeldean of Hazlitt Park was, as I have said beforo, a woman of great wealth, residing within twenty miles of ub, at a place called the Point, which tfas the central and highest part of cliffs, inclosing a long broad arm of the sea. Hero sho lived in solitary state, a childless widow. Solitary, because, being unloved and unlovable, her neighbors and friends avoided her rather thnn otherwise, a state of things which did not fret the mistress of Hazlitt Park, but rather accorded with her grim taciturn humor. My godmother, at the time I write, was about seventy, a fair personable woman, with handsome, well-preserved features, and soft white plentiful curls, of which slid was very proud, as she was of her still rounded figure and small shapely hands. A woman with many vestiges of past beauty, but with stem steel-gray eyes, and a haughty droop of the mouth, which marred the whole expression, and gave it a lowering look of pride. A face that rarely smiled, even upon those it loved, but ever wore the same cold expression; and with a tongue cunning as Machiavelli, studying only how to conceal her thoughts. I have said beforo that ahe was widowed, and very early too in life, I believe; but what manner of manlier husband was I never knew, save that he had been a colonel in the Guards, and had died on hia first campaign, That she waB childless mattered lit' tie to this strange unloving woman, but that she lacked an heir wns a thing hard and not to bo borne. With wonderful inconsistency she therefore resolved to adopt one, and made chuice of tho very Inst person that one would have expected her to fix upon. Passing by the chums tf wealthier and happier relatioitB, she-m-lected the child of her half-brother, an embarrassed and needy artist, whom she had ctldly neglected and nover voluntarily looked upon during hia lifetime, till broken-spirited and wrecked in body and mind he had laid himself down to die by the side of his dead wife. It was in that visit, which Heaven knowa why she paid, that she first Baw Phillip Hazeldean, then a lovely boy of some eight years old, weeping in lhe corner of that miserable garret; for whom she instantly conceived an infatuation, which made her resolve to adept, educate and make him her heir. Nor was hor choice unwise, for Philip was a bright bold boy, who gave ample promise of more than average talents and a fair allowance of good qualities; in those days at least he was truthful, generous, and sincere, with a laughing, ringing voice, which sounded merrily in the ears of his adopted mother and aunt. But with hia manhood there came a change, whether from the blighting influence of tho old house, or trom the weary verifying of tho proverb that It is ill waiting for dead men's shoes;" but certain it was, if truth must be told, that ths heir of Hazlitt Hall was moody discontented man.
