We are glad to observe that eastern Canadian newspapers are beginning to wake np on tbe Chinese question. II the debate On thii subject whieh took place during last seaafon of the Canadian parliament produces no other effect than thia, it will not have been by any means fruitless. If the press of the country once enters upon a vigorous crusade against Chinamen, publio opinion will tone the government to adopt such legislation aa will regulate and abate the evil. The Ottawa Free Press of the 3rd inst aays: "There is at present every indication that the bad fruits of Sir John Macdonald's disallowance of the British Columbia bill prohibiting Chinese immigration will before long be experienced in this part of the Dominion, We are informed by the telegraph that between three and. four thousand Chinese have already applied for work on the Canadian Pacific Railway, east of the Rooky Mountains. There are at present many thousands of Chin, ese in British Columbia. Owing to the Dominion government's unwise interference with local legislation many thousands more will arrive there. When the work of railway construction in that province ia completed the bulk of these will have to look elsewhere for work. They will not be permitted to enter the United States, and they will have no recourse but to come to that portion of the Doiuinion east of the Rocky Mountains. When that time, whieh is not far distant arrives, wo will be able to fully appreciate the evils of Chinese im* migration." If the -Fn, Press.ni other* journals in the east had exercised ordinary judgment, they would long ago have foreseen this result. While the evil was far away, and confined to British Columbia, they rested content; but the presence of these celestials in Manitoba indicates the approach of the Asiatic invasion, and has opened tho eyes of Ontario to personal danger; and now the newspapers begin to howll In British Columbia we havo had actual occular demonstration of the evils of Chinese immigration these ' many years, but we have hitherto been protesting in vain, tbe eastern newspapers treated our affliction as a joke, and even charged us with communistic notions; and the house of commons sheltered itself behind the plea that olass legislation was contrary to the spirit of British institutions. But self-preservation is one of the first lawaof nature, and acting under that Taw we demand that this fair province may be preserved from the Chinese. Other British possessions have made similar demands; and their right to legislate on the question has been conceded by the imperial government Is it possible that the government at Ottawa has become leas liberal than the government at London 1 Sir John Macdonald vetoed the Chinese bills without consulting the home government, and it is very generally believed that but for this action of the Canadian premier, the bills would have been enforced. However that may be, the.peeple of British Columbia do not propose that the veto shall turn them aside from the question. It ia of too much importance to ua aa a province, for unless some restrictive measures are adopted we shall very soon be swallowed up completely by these Asiatic invaders. The Free Press, concludes the article above referred* td in the following words: "People in the eastern portion of the Dominion have long considered the Chinese question as something which did not concern them, but the celestial army has already commenced its eastward march; and if we are not to be subjected to the horrors with which British Columbia ia now afflicted, prompt action ahould be taken to restrict Chineso immigration into Canada. Under the circumstances the disallowance of the British Columbia legislation on tbis subject cannot be condemned in too strong terms." _ Propwty -Mlongbu te th. Ebwrmr ■town estate fn- tale hr 0. 0. RAKD,* A '-War-Turtle.'- Boston is the home uf the reformer, the anti-war man, the heretic, the Puritan, the anchorite, the free-lover and the inventor, and while the others are busy with their theories, their arguments and their agitation, the inventor, bending incessantly aver his plans and drawings, is putting the finishing touches to a plan for the building of a terrible man-killer, u land monster to be used in time of war. Up to this date nothing hu been written or printed about it, but the int. venter, a well known builder of locomotives and the originator- of many valuable and famous machines, has an far developed hi. plans that be is will- inn to speak of then, iu the general way, while he hold. Heok fejthe present the secret detellrof manufacture. To fully appreciate the invention one roust imagine a huge, steel monster, turtle-shaped, impregnable to the most forcible missiles of artillery, creeping over the face of the earth and raining from the machine guns within it, showers of ballets and dynamite bomh. .which work terrible havoc among the ehCMy. The shell of this "war turtle," aa the inventor has christened it, is to. be made of tool steel, thick, heavy and massive, which no missive can penetrate, It will move on broad wheels, shod with thick rubber bands, which can take a strong hold oh the ground, establishing so great a traction that the turtle can climb steep hills, driven by the enormous engine concealed within its body. "Of course," says the inventor, "the weight of the turtle, whioh must carry ammunition, petroleum in tanks beneath the steel skin, and men to man the guns and steer the fighting craft, will be enormous; but I have carefully studied nnd calculated and find that I can get enough power from the engine to move with sufficient rapidity and clesr away whatever obstacles; the enemy may erect to stop the turtle's progress." The sharp, knife-like edge of the monster will be able to cut down small trees and shrubbery and the terrible force of the engine will be sufficient to o'limre it through sub'tantial b irrieaoVa, Two pilots, protected from shnrp sh-.utt'r* and stray balls by heavy plates, wil. have positions in the steel ho id of the creeping battery and guide it bv a peculiar mechanical apparatus nnd thi- Suns, pointing iu all directions, will e able to disohnrge 0000 Indian minute. In the tail of the tunle, so to apeak, will be placed a nmoliine enable of hurling 20 dynamite bombs a minute, throwing them so far thnt the turtle will be nut of range when they explode. The inventor, who is no Darius Green with his tlylng-maohiiiu, but is known asaelear, level headed man, says that of course the tunle with his guns and dynamito will keen, impracticable tn the uveraaeeiigineei alio mechanic*, but he insi.ts t at In- can build it'and work it suouessfully whenever tho government shall have need of suoh a terrible weapon and death-dealer. Until that time pwhably the essential detail of manufacture will be kept secret from all save a few intimate scientific friends who are inter- ested in the development of the scheme. The inventor, whoso name cannot be given at present, was led to conceive of his fighting turtle after noticing that, while the most important changes in naval warfare had been made during recent yean, the notable improvements iii land fighting were few and far between. Shuuld the United State, go to war with Germany or Eng land, he says the "turtle" will do for the land force what Kricsou'a "cheese box" did lor the fighters by sea and river.—Boston Letter. will leave for up'cbuntry about tbe mid- die of May. np-a-td. 3-1 H.

The learned Prince of Granada, heir to the Spanish throne, imprisoned by order of the crown, for fear he should aspire to tho throne, waa kept in solitary confinement in the old prison at the Placo of Skulls, Madrid. After thirty-three years iu thia living tomb, death came to hia release, and the following remarkablo researches, taken from the Bible, and marked with an old nail on the rough walla of his cell, told how the brain sought employment through the weary years. In the Bible the word "Lord" is found 1863 times; the word "Jehovah" 6865 times, and the word "reverend'' but once and that in the Bth verse of the 110th Psalm. The 8th verse of the 117th Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible. The Oth verse of the 8th chapter of Esther is the longest vorso; 36th verse, 11th chap, of St. John, the shortest. In the 107th Psalm 4 verses aro aliae, the 8th, 16th, 21st, and 31st. Each verse of the 135th PSillm ends alike. No names or words with more than sis syllables are found in the Bible. The 37th chap, ot Isaiah and 10th chap, of Snd Kings are alike. The word "gist occurs but once iu the Bible, 3rd verse and 3rd chap, of Joel. . There are found in hoth hooks of the Bible, 3,68(1,483 letters, 773,003 words, 31,373 verses, 1,180 chapters, and 68 books. The 28th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles is the Bnest chapter to mad. The moat beautiful chapter in the Bible is tho 22ud Psalm. The four most inspiring promises are John Uth chap., 2nd verse; John Oth chap., 37th verse; St. Matthew 11th chap., 28th verse; and 37th Psalm, 4th verse. The 1st verse of the 00th chap, of Isaiah is the one for the new convert, All who flatter themselves with vain boastings of their perfectnets should learn the Oth ohap. of Matthew. All humanity should learn the Oth chap, of St. Luke from the 20th verse to its ending. Mr. Henry Marshall, Reeve of Dunn, writes: "80m. time ago I got a bottle of NorthrOp * Lyman's Vegetable Discov. ery from Mr. Harrison, and I consider it the very beat medicine extant for Uy.. pepsin."

The general character of that ser- viol iu this country, however, has scarcely beeu iu that direction. It bu been a constant source of complaint and annoyance; nnd although in some respects tbo facilities of mail communication have improved within the past few years, there ara many grievances still remaining. Nnt long ago it was announced that a proposal had been made to withdraw two of tho four mails a week between this city and the upper country, and to substitute, in lieu of that service, a daily mail to Viotoria. The proposal was considered by the Board of Trade, whioh refused to recommend it, because it wonld be depriving the upper country of mail facilities whioh were considered important The people of tbis city regard the daily mail service as a great accommodation; but they are not willing for the sake of personal advantage, to curtail the mail facilities of the rest of the mainland. But it seems the acting post-office inspector paid no attention whatever to the action of the Board of Trade. Two mails a week were withdrawn from the river service, and a daily service was established to Victoria. Not long ago tenders woro asked for a daily mail between this city and Port Moody. According to theadvertisement,mails were to leavo this city every morning at 7:30, and arrive at Port Moody one hour later. Returning, they were to leave Port Moody at 4 p. in., and arrive here ut 5. Now, every one acquainted with tbe:cir-. cnmstanees knows that the person who undertook the service on such specifications would be working at a great disadvantage. The stages leave for Port Moody and Granville at 9 a. in. A stage which had to leave with the mail at 7:30 would rarely havo anything but the mail to carry. It is too early for pas- aongcrs, who would generally prefer to wait for the 9-o'clock stage. Again, unless the road happens to be in the very best condition it would not be possible for n heavy stage to make the trip in one hour; and to return in an hour, going up the steep grade at Port Moody, would be almost impossible under any circumstances, Beside;!, during the winter, when the roads are worst, the stage would have to leave this oity beforo daylight in tho morning, and wonld not be ublo to return till after dark. When the inspector visited this city some time ago the absurdity of the specifications wan pointed out to hiin. lie stated that tho department would not in- sist upon the service being performed according to the advortised schedule — that people tendering would be allowed to vary according to circumstances. But when the blank forms of tender camo up it was found that they contained a declaration that the contract would lie on the basis stated in the advertisement. There wu no mention whatever of deviation from the schedule. The result is that some intending contractors refused to ten der, and if any person takes the contract at all he places himself at tbe mercy of tho inspector. There has also been a longstanding grievance in connection with the location of the Port Moody postoliice. It stands nearly two miles distant from that portion of the townsito wliere the settlement is, and spite of petitions and protests it stands there still. With respect to the post-office in this oity there are many complaints, und ns soon as one grievance disappears another seems to present itself. When we had two mails a week the post-office wu kept open for mail matter until 9 o'clock on steamer nights. Now we hnve a daily mail, bnt the office doses at 6 p. tn. and does not open till 9 a. m. The result of this arrangement is that persons employed in manufacturing establishments, or elsewhere, have no opportunity for getting letters at the poet-office. It does not open until after they have gone to work in the morning, and it closes beforo their day's work is done at night. We are not placing tho fault upon tho postmuter, but merely mentioning the facta in the hope that a remedy may ke found by the proper officers. Tlie postoffice should not clow before 7 o'olock at night, when other _____________________ business places close, and then every person oould receive the accommodation which . the post-office is supposed to provide, There have been a great many complaints made about the present arrangement, nnd they are not without reason. Tlie Judgment. On Wednesday it wu announced by a telegram from Victoria to The Columbia!- that the police magistrate had dismissed the gambling eases on Ihe ground that thb play was not actually going on at tho time of the arrest. In tho Victoria papers of Wednesday I wo find further particulars of this singular case. There wero six gamblers arrested, of whom one was the dealer. At the time tbe police entered the premises the dealer was in the act of dealing out tho cards; but, of course, operations were ut once suspended. The dealer was first tried before tbe police magistrate, and he was acquitted on the ground that ns the dealer in this game is prohibited from playing, a charge of gambling could net lie against him. In the next case, that of Cooper, the magistrate makes the following points: (1) The dealer was in the act of dealing at the time (of the raid); (2) The would-be players were waiting for cards with which to play; (3) They had not received the requisite number of cards; (4) Consequently no playing was going on at the time the officers entered. Now, every unprejudiced person, not learned in the law, will doubtless experience a great deal of astonishment at this conclusion. When the officers entered the saloon these men were undoubtedly engaged in a game of cards. They were sitting round a table with cards lying before them, and the dealer was dealing out more cards to complete the required number. In the table drawer there wu money and all the implements necessary for gambling. The table and the whole arrangements were shown by witnesses to be just what aro commonly found in the gambling game known ns stud.horse poker. The policemen arrested these people, captured their table, cards, money, and other implements, and produced them in court But tho learned magistrate finds that because, tho police did not actually see these men in tho act of playing, thero could bo no easel Tbis may be good law, but it seems to us the most absolute nonsense. Does the magistrate for one moment imagine that when the police officers entered the room tliese men would continue to play on and give thomselves away! If they had continued the game under such circumstances, that fact would lead one to suspect they were engaged in a lawful act But thoy stopped at once. They knew perfectly thnt they were gambling and had beon caught. If the decision of the magistrate is a proper decision, it follows that it would bo perfectly impossible to convict any person of gambling without resorting to the objectionable oxpedient of employing an informer. No matter how often the police might raid the gambling places. The money might be there for stakes; the cards might be thero in the hands of gamblers; the dealer might be there: but if the players happened to stop, as they certainly would, on the appearance of the officers, there could be no gambling proved 1 Does any person imagine. that the law ever contemplated such a thing u this? We think not; and we think tbat every person who has read the evidenco produced in this case must be perfectly satisfied that it was a clear caso of gambling. A man half drunk is found sitting with a glnsf in his hand at a table upon which there stands half a bottle of whiskey. A policeman enters and arrests him for drinking. But the magistrate asks, "Did you see him drinking'" "No," replies tho policeman, "I didn't see him drinking; but 1 know there wu liquor in him and liquor on the table beforo him, and from the circumstances I am perfectly satisfied he was drinking." "Ah!" says the magistrate, "but you must see him do it: the case is dis missed." In these gambling cases the magistrate said he had no desire to screen the offenders. If the point raised had been a technical one, he said, he might have passed it over; but the point seemed to him vital, and he had no alternative but to dismiss the case. We do not pretend to question tbo honesty qf tho magistrate; but with all respect to bis judgment we must admit that the ground of dismissal strikes us as being puroly technical. To say that the dealer could not be playing because he was dealing is a mockery; and to say that the rest could not bo playing because the caids had not nil been dealt, is to insult com. mon sense. Blow could stud-horse pokor be played without a dealer? He is us necessary to tho game as any of. the five who take their hand, end to exempt him on such a ground is pushing technicalities to the verge of absurdity. We cannot congratulate either the city council or the police magistrate of Victoria on the conduct and result of these eases. Thoy all profess great anxiety to put down gambling, but tlieir wholo action in this matter boars a very different appearance. They may hnve been honest in their intentions, but wo ask them in all candor what they could havo done more than they did to prevent a conviction in these now celebrated gambling cases!

Mail Mattksh.—In an article in another column we have spoken at some length on the mail arrangements, and the inconvenience of having the mails close at 6 p.m. Last night the inspector brought in some new post- office regulations whioh will be found in our advertising columns. According to these regulations a supplementary mail will be mnde tp for Victoria and down offices at 6:15 a.m. This n a decided improvement. Tne office is also to be kept open till 7 o'clock Wednesday mid Saturday nights. It should have been Monday, Wednesday snd Friday nights, as it in on these days the eastern mails arrive at this eity. If that arrangement were mndo, the grievance would disappear. -*.

The genera] formation of the Cotmr d'Alene country is slate; not the laminated slate in thin strata with which miners are generally conversant, but the more permanent formation which exists in solid slabs, broken by fissures and crevices. Through a canyon in suoh a formation Pritchard oreek tlows. The bed of the creek varies from twenty to eighty rods in width.. The diggings have been represented as venr deep, but ns a matter of fact bedrock hns been tapped at a depth of six feet In every instance where drain diktat hava been cut. This is an important fact which will prove of immense value to the camp and which will do much to enlist capital to aid in the development of the placer fields when it boooroet general!? known. In several of the opened claims bedrock is found at four feet, and even less. The gravel is of the "dead" variety, very loose and coarse, but carries fine color from the water level to the bedrock. The bulk of the gold is, of coune, found on and in the fissures of tbe bedrock. The character of the gold is water-worn shot gold, the larger nuggets generally carrying more or less quartz and assaying $16,75 fine to the ounce. With a uniform system •if drain ditching on the several claims hydraulic power can be successfully and economically employed. The w-rk already done and the prospects obtained on several claims have demonstrated the fact thnt Pritchard creek will pay to work for its entire length. Many of the side gulches nf Pritchard creek are undeniably rich. So much w'-rk has been done prospecting on tbe different claims that the status of the placer mines ns gold-producers is an assured fact.— Goeur d Ahne Eagle. About Judges.—Since the temporary retirement of Judge McCreight, on account of ill-health, the people uf this city and district have been put to very great inconvenience. There were four other judges in Victoria, with, apparently, not it great deal of vork on hand, and it was supposed thai one of them would - be sent to this city to supply Judge McCreight's place. Yesterday Judges Gray and Walkem came up, and some people thought one of these gentlemen would remain, at least for a short time. We learn, however, that they are both going up country. Judge Gray takes the assize court at Vale, and Judge Walkem takes the court at Kamloops, Bui the court sit-t at Yale on the 19th, and at Kamloops on the 30th, and oue naturally wonders if it would not be possible for one judge lo take both. Indeed, looking at the dates arranged for courts in the interior one can scarcely fail to notice that the provinoial government pur* posely intended thai one ju-ige should do the work. But the provincial government dues not control the judges, and they seem perfectly free to go where they please. There is tin re-isoft tn the world why one of these gentle men should not take the courts nt Yale and Kamloops and Clinton, and thu other remain at this city. This would not only greatly facilitate business, hut would also save a great deal of unnecessary expense to the Dominion government. Kailway Accidents. From tbo Yale Sentinel. Middle of last week the "Pony ou- gine" ran against a stone down t ,e track, and had to be brought to the machine shop here fur repairs. This littlo "Curlit*," so-called engine, is often in hand to bo put in running order. It is called an old trap. Sat urday tho mail train was late iu consequence of another slide at Maple Ridge; it tuok four hours to clear the track. Monday at 1:30 p. in., the "Yale" engine, engineer Campbell Johnston, conductor Joe McKenzie, and fireman Geo, McCulIuugh, left Emory, and while their tram was going through No. 2 tunnel, near Hopo, met the engine "Lytton," drawing a gravel train, and a collision took place. The parties with the "Lytton" were engineer Ed. Hosker, conductor N. Spriggs, and fireman Robt. Ward. As the engines approached under considerable speed, and after whistling down brakes —the thought no doubt simultaneously occurred—they jumped off. And the men named acted wisely under the circumstances, and we arc pleased to announce escaped without serious injury; the only person feeling the effect of the meeting of the trains was Johnny Maddigan, a brakesman, who was upon- the last car at his post of duty trying to check the speed, and the collision knocked him down. We believe his injury is not serious. Where rumor says the blame properly belongs we are nut disponed to chronicle, in advance of an investigation; in all auch cases contradictory statements are generally put in circulation. One, thing is certain, there was criminal neglect somewhere, Men were promptly sot to work to clear the track ns soon as possible, and the down mail train, engine "Savona," was ablo to' pass through the tunnel on Tuesday; in the afternoon, 19th inst., the "Lytton" was so far fixed up as to ho able to bring up lhe "Yale," etc., to the machine shop. As the two engines with a flat car containing portions of j the wreck passed, the damage appeared I to be pretty serious; we understand the amount has beer, estimated at between 05,000 and 00,000. Out of five locomotive engines belonging to the railway company three art now out of NpAifc Notwithstanding much has been said about the importance of a blood-purifying medicine, it rosy be possible that tbe matter has never seriously claimed your attention, Thinkrpf it now!

Such a course on your part I consider very unfair; firstly, because it was very untrue, and secondly, even hsd the declarations beeu properly made there would have been no such a thing as perjury in the case, as the improvements called for in the land act were made to the full extent required, and moro than required; also the land haa been in occupation by Mr. McKenzie's agent ever since he first took it up. I was indeed very muoh surprised to see the Columbian publish the evidence of a man bearing such a character when the defendants were not beard. As for my brother and myself, we have lived in this district for upwards of ten years, and I will defy any man to attach (truthfully) dishonor to our name, John MoKee, Jr. ' Pioneer Temperance Lecturer." Editor Columbian.—I see, by the Victoria Colonist, thai a certain Dr, Stevenson claims to have beeu tbe first temperance lecturer in British Columbia. Whether or not he was the fint professional lecturer, I cannot positively say, though I u.ver heard of his being that. This I can say, that on May 25th, 1869, the late Rev. E. White held a temperance meeting in the treasury building, Queenborongh (New Westminster) and lectured on that question. Several other gentlemen participated in the exercises. In August 1st, I860,1 called a temuer- ance meeting in Nanaimo, at which Mr. White lectured, and quite a number signed the pledge. On July 18th, 18r.it, I assisted, as a charter member, in organising the Victoria Division, Sons of Temperance, in Victoria city, the late J. T. Pidwell, Esq., acting as D.M.W.P. On the 19th October, lm, I took part in a temperance meeting at Fort Hope, at which it was decided ta form a division of the Sons of Temperance. The division was organized tlie next week and met in my school room while I remained at Hope. There was a good deal of temperance work done in Biitish Columbia before that lecture was delivered by Dr. Stevenson, in 18(12.—Yours, Ac., E. Roiwos. NEWS FROM AU PARTS OF THE WORLD. London, May 12.—In tho commons to-day George Anderson (advanced liberal) gave notice that he should shortly make a motion condemning the existence of a house of lords. The announcement was received with great hilarity. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, conservative, moved again his motion of May second, that, the house regrets the courso taken by the government which has not tended to promote the nuccess of General Gordon a mission; aud that steps to secure bin personal safety lmvo been delayed. Tliis motion was received with prolonged cheers, Gladstone, in rising to speak in defense of the government's course, was greeted with hearty cheers. He congratulated Sir Michael Hicks Beach on his forcible speech, but strenuously denied that the government had deserted Gen, Gordon, The demand of the honorable gentleman, he insisted! amounted to a war of conquest against a people straggling to be tree, (Cheers from the liberals). The war which the Mahdi is waging is a war of freedom. It is that which the hon. gentleman wishes England to put down. (Renewed cheers). Continuing, the prime minister denied that the government had failed to do one single thing tbat was not for the safety and success of Gen. Gordon. The charges which the honorable gentleman has just preferred against tbe government are absurd. They ami only be accounted for by his lack of knowledge of true facta and real object Whatever may oa Its ostensible aun its effort Is to displace the government, (loud cheers from liberals). Gladstone next referred to official dispatches to provo Geu. Gordon's security and to justify the action of tho government which it bad taken, he contended, without precaution. The charges failed because it waa not a fact that Gen. Gordon had orders to resort to military force if peaceful measures should n t prove sufficient. "I have a duty" Gladstone further said, "to General Gordon, and a duty to tbe country to perform. Both will be performed despite the honorable gentleman or cliiratic danger and difficulty It may be the duty of the government to plant a British force in that terrible country; but the government declines to be driven on without considering blood, honor and ticasure. The government also declines to enter upon that scheme of conquest to please tho captious opposition."

The long-continued drought and the great heat of tbe weather nro be'gining seriously to affect the prospects of the crops in the.planting districts. With the exception of two or three light and local showers, there has been no rain in Bengal and Bohar since Christmas. In Behnr the fierce, hot winds are rapidly burning up the indigo crop. A worse district is Ghuprn, whore the indigo will turn out very badly should the present weather continue a weok longer. Things are not quite so bad in tho tea aud jute districts; but in these, too, rain is much wanted, At Simla, tho water supply has fallen so short that work on the new Government offices has been suspended, and 5,000 workmen have been sent to tneir homes.

Dr. Grant In tho Week. From the summit of tho Selkirks- down the western slope—to the Columbia, the distance is about forty-five miles; and, in the first week in September, a trail had been cut only about half way. Sunn after starting from the summit, wo came upon the Ille-cille-waut, sometimes called Mu- berly Creek, und followed it pretty closely nll the way down, except in the Inst threo or four miles of its courso, Wo found ourselves in tho heart of the uudittturbed forest primeval, und among slate mountains intersected by quartz veins tempting to prospector?. Thu cedars, hemlocks, spruce nnd wliite pine are all on the largest scale. Beforo reaching a point where the river is said tu "fork," ur whew a large branch enters tho main stream from thu north, we camo upon the most jiotfcct box canyon wo hud yot seen. Tlm river boila between walls of naked rock, two hundred foet high, the distance from wall to wall at une point being nut more than twenty feet, A mile or two below tbis canyon, tho trail—to our sorrow—ended. Horo, at McMillan's camp, whoso mon were busy surveying aud trail making, wc were to pnrt with Major Rogers and with oat hones, and foot it ns bust we could to tbe Columbia, whero wu hoped tu effect a junction with Indian*- from Kamloops. Ou the way down from the summit to McMillan's camp, I had many long talks with the Major about the steps taken by him to discover tho pass, Tho information obtained then, and confirmed subsequently, in nil requisite points, by official documents, I may give in the form of u historical sketch: From the time that British Columbia was formed into a oolony, its publio mon looked forward to being connected, by wagon road aud then by railroad, with tho other British colonies in North America. Thsy wen thoroughly loyal, and had no idea of remaining in tho condition of a thumb separated from tho body any longer than they could help. Discoveries of gold at the Big Bend of the Columbia attracted a mining population m 1864 to that remote district, and it became important to connect these with the settled parts of the province. Miners aro a profitable community to deal with, and the British Columbians were unwilling that the Colville merchants, south of the boundary line, Bhould monopolise the trade of what were expected to turn out rich gold fields. From Kamloops, steamers could run up the South Thompson River and Shuswnp Lake; and from a point on the lake called Seymour, Mr. W. Muberly constructed a trail through thu Gold Mountains to the Big Bend; and in 1865, he discovered a direct pass from Shuswap Lake to the Coiumbin. Mr, Trutch, in a Report uf the Land and Works Department, datod 29th October, 1866, speaks of this pass and of his hopes in connection with it, in what has turned out fo bu prophetic language: "It was not only unknown to wliite men but so far aa can be ascertained, neither the Shuswap nor the Columbia river Indians had any knowledge uf it previous to Mr. Muberly'»reconaissance Tho Gold Rango was supposed to be I an unbroken and impassable wall of mountains. The summit of thia pass, now known as Eagle Pass, is only four hundred and seven feet above the level of Shuswap .Lake, whioh lako is one hundred and twenty-seven feet lower than, thn Columbia River at low water majkattue mouth of the pass—the distance through being thirty-two miles. For some distances near its summit, this pass is walled in on each side by abrupt cliffs und is not therefore available for the construction of a cheap trail; but for a wagon road or railroad it is moat applicable, and its, discovery may be regarded as of great value, for by this pass, it may be confidently hoped will one day be brought a line of communication, by wagon road first, and afterwards by railroad, from the British possessions on the Saskatchewan across the Rocky Mountains into the central portions of British Columbia, and down the valley of the Fraser River to the sea." The Eagle Pass through the Gold Range having been discovered, Mr. Mohcrly was naturally anxious to find a pass across the Selkirks also. He was sure that quartz mining in the '■ Big Bend would be moat extensive, Hi'mgli it would tako time to develop the mines, as the extremely difficult nature uf the country mode it impossible for prospectors to move about without trails, Those quartz veins to which he alluded in his reports are still awaiting a railway through the Huckius before they can be developed. That there was a pass through tho Selkirks hu had little doubt. On coining throuuh tho Gold Mountains to the Columbia, a cleavage through the Selkirks can he seen almost as if it were a continuation of the Eagle Pass, Through this cleft tho Ille-cille-waut runs into tho Columbia, and it was obvious that by it a pass should he sought. He sent one of his engineers to ascertain if anything favorable could be found, hut his report was discouraging. He himself.then took the matter iu hand. Proceeding up the Ille- cille-waut to its forks, and rightly judging tliat the pastern branch of the rivor was the one to follow to its source, he tried hard to induce his Indians to accompany him up it and all thu way across the range. But, as he reported, "all my efforts were unavailing, as thuy affirmed that if we went on ae should be caught in the snow and never get out uf the mountains. As I uow found it would not be possible to complete the exploration of the easterly branch so as to arrive at a definite conclusion, and as a partial exploration would only be a waste of timo and money, for should it be explored throughout, at any future time, which I would recommend, the same ground would have to be traversed again, I decided to explore the northerly fork. At a distance of about four miles abovo the forks I entered the slato range, and continued in it the rest of the distaqce travelled up tho stream. These slato mountains are intersected in nil directions by innumerable veins of quartz, and on the river banks and bars much hard blue gravel, intermixed with clay, was seen." Ho washed a few pans of dirt and obtained prospects pronounced to be five cents to the pan. Noticing traces of silver in a vein of quartz, he knocked oil' a few pieces of rock, and the Government Assay Office reported tho mineral tu be argentiferous galena, with 84 uz, of silver tu the ton. Finding thnt the valley turned more nnd inure to the north, and that nothing could be gained by a longer continuance in the Selkirks that year, he retraced his steps and reached Shuswap Lake on the 10th of October. Soon after theae explorations, the Big Bend having proved disappointing to the miners who had flocked to them without proper equipment, the necessity for further examination of the Solkirks by the British Columbia gov eminent ceased. Tho colony had no money to spend on surveys tlmt did not promise an im mediate return, nnd Mr. Moberly had thus uo opportunity of discovering tho put" in tho i-.xi-.t- once of which hu tolly believed. That honor whs reserved fur our friend the Major, When the Syndicate decided to get n mure direct route tu the Pacific than that- which thu Yellow Head Pass ottered, it became all important to know whwihcr thu Selkirks could be crussod or not. Major lingers, who was appointed Engineer of the Mountain Division in February, 1881, was instructed to settle the point. Studying the Reports, hu saw that hu had only to take up the examination uf the mountains whoro Muberly had been obliged to loavo off. In April, he left Victorin, 11. C, for Kamloops, nnd obtaining ton Shuswap Indiana from the mission thure, he detorminud tu push through the Eagle Pass, cross the Selkirks somehow, and reach tlm mouth uf tho Kicking Horso; for, from the first hu had como to tho conclusion that the Kicking Horse was the natural pass down the western slope of the. Roi'ku-h. Ho failed in this first effort. He forced his way indeed through the Eagle Pass, and succeeded in getting up the eastern branch of tho Ilte-cclte- Wrtiii, into the heart of the Solkirks, and on May 39th climbed a mountain near Syndicate Peak and saw that there, was nn opening down thu other side nf the range, ami "biiow clad desolation" everywhere else. But provisions wero running short, nud it was impossible to advance farther. Turning back to tho Columbia, ho dismissed his Shuswaps, and rafted down the river to Fort Colville. From that (mint he got round to the Vermilion •ass, and on July 10th ho met on the Bow near Pndmore's his Kooky Mountain parties, Tho rest of that season wns spent iu exploring everything bearing tho name of n pass in the main range—the Kananaskis, Vermilion, White Man's, Kicking Hone and Howse. In May, 1888, ha made ano ther attempt to find a pass through the Selkirks,' beginning this' time from the eastern side. Starting from the mouth of the Kicking Horse with a small party he struggled up tho south bank of the Beaver till he reached a point where he saw Bear Creek joining it, and coming evidently from the right direction. The Beaver waa in flood. He tried to cross that he might follow up Bear Creek; but though he felled trees on its bank by the dozen, they either broke as they fell or they wero too short and the current swept them away. Failing in his attempts, and provisions running short, he pushed southerly along the Beaver, and then struck across the divide into the valley of the Spill-a-macheen. and got back to the Kicking Horse Cache on June 16th. The mon .with him hod kept his birthday by sweetening their tea; but tea and everything else as well as sugar were exhausted before they reached the Cache, and had they not found a canoe that, enabled them to cross the Columbia it would have gone hard with them. A month later, he started on a third effort to discover the Pass, taking with him Carroll and D. Bellhouse as assistants, and three Indians, Louis, Charlie Mountain and Pete. Every man carried his pack, ana the brush was so dense that thoy travelled only from two to four miles a day. olt rained almost every day, and when it did not rain the black flies, mosquitoes and sandflies made it hot for them. Cutting their way up the north bank of the Beaver they crossed Mountain Creek and Bear Creek, and discovered the Pass on July 24th. But the Major was not satisfied. Every spot had to be explored. There might be a connection between the head- waters of tho 'North Fork of the Ille- celle-waut and of Bear or Mountain Creek; so, sending Bellhouse and an Indian back to a point where he had cached some provisions, and instructing them to push up Mountain Creek, he and the rest went down the Ilie- celle-waut to the Forks, and then pushed up the North Fork. "Each day," said Carroll, "was a repetition of its predecessor, with this exception, that our packs were becoming lighter, and we were able to make better time. Finding that there was no prospect of a Pass by the North Fork, we con-' eluded to cross from where we were, and try and strike Mountain Oreek. It tuok us a whole day to climb from the valley to snow-line, about 7-500 feet high, where we camped, melting snow to make our toa. A high wind wu blowing, Our clothing was wet. Our blanket—for the Major and I had only one between us—was wet also. We could not get enough wood to make a big fire. Our supper had been limited as there was little grub left. Altogether, it was a night to be remembered. The next duy we crossed the main divide, but tor some time could not find any water running in the direction of Mountain Greek. At last we struck it, and also a good Cariboo trail which followed the stream about sixteen miles and proved invaluable to us in our almost famished state. At one place near the trail we saw eleven large cariboo, quite tame, but we had no gun Soon after, we met Bellhouse. and we then made for the Kicking Horse cache. Two of our Indians were worn out, and one of them has nut been able to do much since. Major Rogers suffered severely from mosquitoes and black files. His forehead and ears swelled so, that they shook as he walked; and he declared that they felt just like a piece of liver." This sketch is sufficient to show how important wero Mr. Muberly's contributions to a Canadian Pacifio Railway, and how much credit he is entitled to in connection with tbe discovery of the Selkirk Pass, It may also enable even casual readers to understand somewhat of the phenomenal energy and pluck of Major Rogers. Not one engineer in a hundred would have risked, again and again, health and fife as he did. Certainly he deserved success. Few can understand the difficulties that have to be encountered, where everything has to he transported on men's backs, and where—what with torrents, precipices and inhospitable mountains, densest underbrush and incessant rain—only a snail-Iiko progress can bo made. The Selkirk system consists of several parallel ranges, which send out transverse spurs en* closing deep valleys; and it ia simply wonderful that among suoh a sea of interlaced mountains so good a Past as the Rogers' should have boen discovered. It deserves to be known for all time by the name of its discoverer, and on the same principle I would suggest that the Pass through the Gold Range should be called after Moberly, instead of oy the meaningless title of the "Eagle Pass." It may be asked how it wai that the Indians did not know of the existence of the Rogers' Pass. The explanation, is that tha Iudian travels either on horseback or in a canoe. He would rather go a hundred miles round tht difficulties that huge fallen trees and dense underbrush present than out his way through a mile or two with an axe; and tho valleys of the Beaver and tho Ille-cille-waut wero chokttd with obstructions that he considered insurmountable.

I could see nothing but a little boat rooking on a golden sea, and Xeith in it—Keith who had come home to England and me. Presently I becamo aware that the chair beside me was taken, and thon lorne one was drawing the hands away from my face with a gentle force that would not be denied. "Nellie, I want to seo you. I have not looked at you yet!" Oh, the ring of those brave Scottish tones, that I thought I was never to hear again! Oh, the touch of that strong faithful hand! I looked up at Keith; and thon, I don't know how it happened, but Keith waa holding mo to his heart, aud I felt like a tired bird that had found ite nest, and was at rest and content—that was never to vendor again—never, oh, never! "I have found you, my Itaohel; I have you here! ana Jacob's long term iB over—my own, my very own!" "Do you want me, Keith!" "I have served for you for more than ten yean now, and, liko Jacob's, 'they were as nothing to tho love I bore.' Look up in my face, my darling bird, and tell me what you soo thon!" "It looks tender and true, Keith. Ob, Keith, what hare I done, that you should love me so"" And aa the involuntary exclamation escaped my lips, low words of blessing seemed to hovor over me, and fold mo with ineftable peace. "Hare I come back to my wife, Nellie? Dear love, I have wooed you so long and patiently. I havo suffered and labored in your behalf." "I know it, Keith; I know it " '"What aro you saying, doar? I cannot hear you." "I will be what you wish." And then he kissed me again. And after that we grew calmer; and he talked to me, and I listened till Katio came in, and then Dudley, aud then we all went back to the drawing-room. What a long delicious dream that- evening seems, looking back on it now; with such a sense of being tenderly shielded and watched over, with such a feeling of indescribable repose; and then, when it was over, the moonlight walk to Sunnyside, wrapped up in Keith's plaid, with his strong arm to lean upon; and to know, oh, happy Nellie, to know that it was mine to lean upon forover! And then, the circle round the blazing fire; Herwald's merry jests, and Louie's fond caresses, and Katie'a bright sparkling face looking up from the rug at her husband's feet; and last, but not least, Dudley's proud glance of triumph as he sat with Eloanor beside him, looking at Keith and me. "Nellie, do you think now you did well to trust me with your future?" Keith w,tched me, smiling. "I don't understand you, dear;" but getting hot, as I replied, nevertheless. Dudley left hia place and bent over me. "What should you say, my pet, if you knew that your brothers, feeling how lonely you were, and how well somebody lovod you, wrote a long letter to that somebody, bidding him cross the sea that had too long divided you aud him, and take Sunnyside and Ids wife together? "And what ahould you aay, my pet," us 1 hid my face so gratefully, oh, so gratefully, on his shoulder; "if Bruce added a postcript, bidding him leave the business that had ao ill kept him from poverty, and take the young, er brother's share at tho factory, which my marriage would leave vacant? "And what would you aay if that somebody started the very next week, and arrived just as wo were sotting out for the parsonage?—no, you ahall not thank 'us, child; are you r.ot our very owu?" "Hush!" cried Keith, drawing me to him, "what is that?" And then, as we wero nil silent, the , pealing of tho Christmas-chimes broke ou our car. "Peace on earth, good-will towards men—a happy Christmas to you all, my friends?" "Amen," said Dudley, solemnly, "and a brighter and a better life to yon hoth at Sunnyside." Chinese Women Smuggled. Tho Portland -Vein says that a short time ago eleven Chineae women were taken across the border from British Columbia, and were afterwards taken into custody by the U.*. authorities. Evidence was ut hand to prove that these human chattels had been smuggled into tho country, contrary to the restriction act, and it is now asked what has become of them, and why they were not sent back from whence they illegally came? The fact of theso women being worth 91,000 apieco in tho slave marts of Portland and San Francisco should net be allowed to be a means of .defeating the ends of justice, and it is a well known fact that they are now at large. It is reported from the other aide that a new sohemo haa been adopted by the Chinese to ovade the law prohibiting the importation of females of that race. A Chinaman wishing to import a woman of that description from Victoria takes out a license and becomes legally married to her, and after crossing to the American aide disposes of her to the highest bidder or consigns her to a regular dealer in suoh stock. This scheme is said to work very satisfactorily tor tho Celestials, as under the provisions of tho restriction Inw the wife of a Ohinamnn living in the States has the right of free egress to the country. WHOLESALE k RETAIL eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee cceeeeecceeeee Preferred Marriage to Law. A Portland, He., dispatch to tho Boston Globe says: A young Portland man who is about aa innocent as a dove, though hardly so wiso aa a serpent, is uid to have been ensnared into matrimony by a device which has the charm of novelty. He iB a handsome fellow, and earns good wages at hia trade, and is, of courso, a favorite with the fair aex. One of his young lady friends, who has alwaya shown an especial fondness for him, asked hiin Soint blank in tbe course of a recent unday evening tete-a-tete: "Who are you going to ninny ?" "You," he said Jokingly. "Biaily!" "Yes/ "Shake hands on it," the businesslike maiden demanded. The young man did ao, thinking it the most amusing incident he had ever borne a part in. The young lady, however, told her father that Hr. Blank and she were engaged, and the young man wu immediately waited upon by tha interested parent, and has decided to marry tho girl rather than stand a threatened suit for breech of promise. <* Wainm-to See His Nose.—Young Blabbitt hal been making calls at stated intervale for aome time in South Olinton. Lut Sunday night he called aa usual, and after waiting an hour in the parlor the girl's little brother came In, and in rather a sheepish manner uked to ue Blabbitt1- nose. "See my now!" exclaimed Blabbitt.

The wutem gambling spirit has so taken bold of the Indians about Spo. kane that every day squads of them may ba wen seated on the ground and intently engaged with a pack of common playing cards, trying to rolieve eaoh other of what money they may have. Small pebbloa anawer for chips, and tlieir games are played with all tho •anwetnen of skilled profwaionali. They not only wager their money, but, losing all that, often bet and lose their wearing apparel--in true oiviliaed style. -Spokam Oanmiel.. New Use Tor a Telephone. A police inspector-at Odesu hu discovered a new uw for the telephone. One day a policeman brought to the atation a Jew, having in his possession a quantity of silver believed to be stolen. But as tho Jew stoutly declared the metal to bo his own property, the police inspector was put in a fix, from whieh all his crosi-examina- tion of the presumed thief failed to extricate him. He went to the telephone in the adjoining room, and, mentioning to the officials at the police- muter's office what had happened, instructed thom to utter in solemn tones, on a signal being given, the words, "Itano Smeliansky, it will he better for thee'to confess that thou hut robbed somebody, otherwise thy punishment will inevitably be more severe," Afterwards, summoning the Jew into the room, he pointed to the instrument on the wall and told him that it really did not matter whether he divulged his crime or not, oa the "machine" would do. it for him. At this the Jew laughed outright, while the inspector placed a iheet of paper on the table and prepared to take down the confession. When everything was ready, ho told the Jew to put tbe tube to his ear and decide whether he would confess himself or allow the "machine" to do it for him. Then, giving the signal, he returned to the table, when a second or two later ho had the satisfaction of seeing the Jew's face turn deadly pale at hearing the solemn advice mysteriously conveyed to him by the "machine,' and of noting down directly afterward, a penitent confession from the thief's own lips. a. The Earth Born of Fire. Soionce spans the gap between the present and the past. Its magio fingers lift the curtain and we gaze upon tho sublime scene of our earth being born from the enn. No era stood at its dawn. No historical ovent ran parallel with its birth. A seething ocean of fire, whirling around on its axis at the rate of a thousand miles an hour, like the impatient racer, darts away in space, sixty-eight thousand miles an hour, on its unseen railway around the sun. How grand the spectacle, as we gaze upon the fiery billows, heaving, surging, bounded on all sides by a blazing sky ! Seething, boiling, like molten iron, now it wildly leaps forth ns if to embrace the fiery clouds; now retiring, crouching, like tho tiger for a fatal spring, it sends its fire-capped billows into the very bosom of the burning sky! But I despair. It is not for mortal pento picture a scene so sublime. The Tartaros of the Greeks, where tho flaming Phleoethon rolls ita waves of fire, ia but a Chinese firecracker when compared with it. There is no day here now, for the sun's rays can no moro be seen in the blinding light of melted metals than the dim beam of a tallow dip in the midst of the electric light. There is no night hero, to bring rest and reposo with its cooling dews and southing shades. There is no autumn with its "rainy season," no winter with its freezing blasts to mitigate the burning heat. Where, then, was all tho water thnt is now contained in our oceans, lakes and rivers? It had not yet been formed —not a single drop. Its elements (hydrogen and oxygen) wero everywhere; but water oan form only undti- eertain conditions, and these conditions wefo not present. There were no coal measures then, no limestone, for nll the carbon was far away from the earth. All tho stones and all the metals were then in a like condition, resolved by the heat into their original elements, and by the heat driven off into space in spite of gravitation. Wo take no note of time as wo gaze upon our embryo planet, for no dial has measured its houn, no pendulum has paced its seconds. The heat radiates into space, reducing the temperature of our globe at its surface. As tfce ice forms on the bosom of a lako, so rook on the surface of the shoreless, fiery sea. Tho rocks form, break into fragments by the tossing of the fiery billows, re-form in a greater mass, again to bo crushed and broken like sheets of ico in tho wildly rushing torrent. Hound and round the globe the molten waves incessantly roll, tossing, tumbling up the embryo crust into craggy islands, against which dash the fiery waves and congeal into rock and girders, binding the islands into continents that reach forth toward each other until the fire is covered and its clory hidden from our view. It now ceases to shino aa a Ntar in the heavens. Henceforth it must depend upon othor bodies for its light, nnd finally, when miles in depth of crust have been formed, its heat also. - -Froin the.
