The perfect development of tlie country is of course a work of some time * ■ but, apart from its enormous yields and substantial profits, there js every reason to believe the Canadian North-West can, be made a home aud resting-place of comfort, freedom; and independence.—Liver 2>ool Mercury. The Revised Version of the Old Testament is in print, und both the Old and New Testament will be is- * sued in May. The book is to be published in various sizes on the mime day; and the snle is certain to bo enormous. When the whole Bible in its new form is in the hands of the people wo shall see what they think of it. Already, however, it is clear tliat the revised version lias made way. It is used in many schools. It is used in most families, Seldom does one of the younger clergy give a text from the pulpit but he tells us in his sermon what is the rendering of the revised version. Somo of the more advanced clergy use the revised version always in the pulpit. With the Old Testament the popularity should be greater. So many people know Greek that tliere has been an approximation of the English to tlie Greek signification of words. So few know Hebrew tliat much of the Old Testament has been dark, and some passages in the Minor Prophets are veritable puzzles to all save the learned. In fact, the majority of English-speaking people will now read Job, Ecclesiastes, and the concluding books of the Old Testament 'for the first time with any comprehension.—Ete, The British Columbian. VOLUME 27 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., SATURDAY, MAJtOH 28, 1885. NUMBER 25 Russian enmity is a legacy of Lord Beaconsfield, and it is the sole ftuit of the vaunted diplomacy which produced the treaty of Berlin, The decay, of Turkey Jias not been arrested, the passes of the Balkan havo not been fortified, Cyprus has proved worthless, and, or England could not art'ord to garrison it, would probably, if war should break out, be at once abandoned. But Russia has been fatally estranged ; and it is only natural that she should take advantage, without much delioaoy of the present difficulties of her ■avowed opponent. How would England have felt and what w,ould she have done if Russia had behaved .towards her as she behaved towards Russia jn the Russo-Turkish War, or if Russia like she had invaded the neutral zone between the two Empires in the East 1 It is a grand Achievement of diplomacy to con. tract a formidable enmity and lay jt up for yourself in sfpre against your day of trouble. Wljen palmer- ■stou waB the chief of the Jingoes I and DUraoli was leading the opposition to him fn the House of Oom-. mons, Disraeli could eeo -clearly and sUtfl plainly that the expansion of Russian empire in Central Asia wus just as natural and as little a ground for suspicion op hostility as the expansion of British .empire in the southern part of the synjio continent. But, having afterwards assumed tlm part of chief of the Jingoes himself, he At tho same timo assumed, and as uiua) over-acted, that of the diplomatic antagonist of Russia. He sent out as Viceroy of India an aristocratic dandy and poetaster whose vanity impelled him to a flashy policy and who found, as a Viceroy is too sure of finding, sycophants ready to assure him that tlie impulses of his vanity were wisdom. For the second time Afghanistan was invaded, and the result of the second invasion, as that of the first, served only to prove the sagacity of All the great Anglo-Indian statesmen and generals, including Wellington, who had deprecated aggressive movement in that direction and pronounced Afghan independence the best bulwark of British India. It is thought by cool-headed judges that Russophobists have exaggerated the importance of Herat, and it is to bi hoped, in the interest of all who would be involved iu the conflict, including Canada, that the mere possession of that place will not be mode a question of poaae ov war, - It is not likely that Russia wants war with England; her government has already too much upon its hands. Yot the situation is evidently critical, and for this addition to an accumulation of perils the gratitude of Entrland and those whose destinies are •identified with tiers is due to Lord Beaconsfield and' his Music Hall train, though perhaps the Rothschilds and their fraternity may also claim a share, as thoy certainly may claim a share of whatever gratitude is due for the entanglement of England in Egypt. -The Week, "Swamp Angel." It was in the fall of 1879 that James Grange, late physician and surgeon in the Royal Cariboo Hospital at Barkerville, British Columbia, gave me an invitation to accompany him on a hunting and fishing expedition to Bear Lake, which is situated about 45 milea from Barkerville, among ths foothills of the Rocky Mountains, near the ''Lorno" glacier. This lako is about 25 miles long by 5 in width; its outlet being Bear River, a tributary of the Fraser. Its shores are studded with a stunted growth uf pine, maple, fir and alder, the home of the grizzly, the brown, cinnamon and black bear. Wild goeseand other fowl innumerable here bring forth their young, and the lake is teeming with the speckled mountain trout, a very Eldorado uf the sportsman and hunter. From tho north and south shore* of tho lake spurs of the mountain rise thousands uf feot, terminating un the south in grand old Bald Mountain and on the north in perpetual snow and the Lorne glacier. It was about sunset of the second day out from Barkerville that we arrived, under the direction of an Indian guide, at the lake and pitched our tent on its shores. Of a sudden heavy black clouds circled around tho mountains and settled down to the surface of the lake, and it became so blaok and dark that its intensity was almost painful. Hurrying within our tent, we lighted a candle, a good supply of which we had fortunately brought along with ub, and made preparations for our evening meal. Soon tho clouds sent forth their balls of firo, accompanied by a deafening rearing and rumbling like cease* jess artillery, awfully grand and majestic, We afterward learned that the cause of its continuity was its re-echoing from mountain tu mountain, as we could hear fourteen distinct repetition of a shout from the middle of the lake. Looking out from our tent, by the aid of a Hash of lightning, I beheld a canoe with a single occupant making toward ua; drawn hither, no doubt, by our light. I immediately informed the Doctor and proceeded to get in readiness my rifle-, in case it might be an unfriendly intruder; but my fears wore groundless, fur our guide informed us that it wns a white man, and so it proved. But how can I describe him? Six feet tall, brawny and sunburned, his dress the skins of wild beasts, his hair and beard grown lontj and matted from neglect. He welcomed us to Bear Lake, nnd informed us tbat the name by which he was known was "Swamp Angel;" that he hud beon the sole white inhabitant of the lake region for tii teen years; that Barkerville waB the nearest settlement, to which he made one trip a year for supplies; and that ho lived by hunting and fishing. His only companions were his dogs, of which he had a gvodly number. He had traveled from the Yukon river at the north to Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Paoifio Ocean; had once been a voyngeur in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company, and had learned all thu arts of hunting, trapping nnd fishing, as well as other useful and valuable arts, from the different tribes of Indians with whom he came in contact. He was intelligent, good-natured, and seemed quito happy and contended. He invited us to his lug cabin, where wo remained a week. He spoke fluently five different dialects of the Indian language, and informed us that he could make himsolf understood to all the Indian tribes of America. When asked concerning his life previous to becoming a voyogeur, he was reticent and made evasive answers; noticing which we did not press him on the subjeot. The Doctor asked him what he did when he was sick, and he replied; "Nature provides mo with the means to get well again." I recognized him as belong to tho X X X X Order, whereupon tlie seemed to form' a great attachment fur me, whioh he often showed by taking mo tu his favorite fishing pools in the evening, where we would Bit and fish till it was quite dark. On ont uf these occasions he appeared uneasy, and fishing seemed to havo no charms for him. Finally he said to met "Mr. Phinney, for many years I have been a wanderer, My real name is W ; I wus born and brought up in the village of M , nestled lovingly on tha banks of the T-— river, in E . There I have a son, now no doubt grown to manhood. The story of my life and hers and his 1 cannot relate. Suffice it to say that I was tho son bf a proud, arrogant and selfish' fattier, who turned me from his door penniless, and I swore an awful oath never to return tu my native land Ah! too well I have kept tlutf oath. But my heart goes back to the old home, nnd fn my dreams I often soe that pale littlo girl, -the mother of my boy, as 1 saw ner clinging to me long, long years ago. I have a pack- ago for her or him that I would ask you to take with you, but I want you to swear to me by the oath you hold sacred that you will seek them out when I am doad, and, if he or she he still alivo, you will deliver it to them with the seal unbroken. You wil) be well repaid for your troublo; but, if you have suro proof that thoy are dead, you oan break the seal and the contents of this package aro yours." I swore it. On the 15th day of January, 1884,1 learned from a friond at Cariboo that Swamp Angol was dead. I immediately wrote to tho American consul at M—- and learned that the mother and child had both died many years ago, and that the package I had jealously guarded ao long, had boen saved from tho noble ship Olympus in 1881, whioh was burned four hundred miles off the mouth of the Oolumbia in the Pacific Ooenn— was mine. How nervously I broke the seal 1 And therein I found 4 let- tor to that darling girl written with hia own blood, deposit chucks on the baiik for $5,000, and a medical recipe fur the curo of rheumatism, this ia a true story, and every old Caribooite will well remember Swamp Angel of Boar Lake. fl. 0, PlUNNKY.

'■'Our readers in-this district aru remihded that the .temperance con venjbion to ttiscusB the Scott Act will be held in this city next Monday;-' aftemooon, beginning ut ■ 4 o'clock. 1 -It is hoped that the friends of temperance ' and reform will take an active interest in this meeting. Events that havereeently transpired show conclusively how difficult it is to regulate.the liquor tralfic. under tho present laws. It wasi hoped that a comprehensive license act would "pas's"flie prbvin- uiiii" legislature at its last' session. But., there, seems to have been no ejl'o^,*pQiide to introduce stich a measure, and tlie attempt even to pass a bill forbidding the sale of ibWhJatiiig.ilquiarsjonVSunday.re- ceived the support of only three or fow members. The public received an intimation* thnt these matters were >nqw in the.hands.pf the municipalities, and- that the house pfqao*^ w*0 len^vp it. ;* Butif the if ■ the. house had taken a tr^bifi to'Mbnir themselves thoy liiij^Ht- li&va WiBcolvfered that <'Kperi»nce has shovvn that municipal corporations ' are not safe custodians of such matters. After many' years of trial, under itiucli more perfect regulations tlian have ever been provided in this'province, the people of Ontario deliberately took the licensing power out of the hands of municipal councils and ..it to commissioners appointed ii'litneut.H j-In thfijDojnihf 1 kbi'ti 'i'833 the-same principle is recognized, and received the approval of botli houses of par- ittne^-f tt will not do for 'the legislature oTliritisli Coluriibiii to tell us at this' lato day tliat the liqpnse ; regulations must not; be taken out of the hands of the mu- nioipaiitiea/ . The license courts of this pnmne*J:tt!*'made up of magistrates, reeves aiid mayors. But wlieie jt uijinicijml licensi; by-law eitisA Ihese-liceifteCourts'maydefy piijjjif, Q»iiiioii -with impunity.

There aro numerous other cases where the licensing power has been grossly abused. The Port -Ilaney, JLcfaise is an example, and some of tlie licenses at Port in force.

Why should you say nll this, and why—why be so unjust to me? You forget that when one knows nothing one thinks, all sorts of things, and inventB a hundred terrors. Tell mo how it is in tho general, not details. You do not want Billy sympathy." "I want all your sympathy, silly or not. I want you. Hester, if we are to escape notice we must dance like the reat; we cannot stand and talk all night. And I am just in the mood for it," he cried. Many people, uo doubt, havo waltzed with very littlo inclination for it, people who were both sad nnd sorry, disappointed, heartbroken; but few more reluctant than Hestor, who felt her position intolerable, and by whom tho complacent injustice of it, tho calm assertion thnt such blind adherence was all that was to be looked for from a woman, wns more irritating and offensive timn can bo described. Wna it possiblo that hu thought so? that this wus wlmt sbo would have to encounter in the life she should spend with him? Her advieo, her intelligent help, her understanding, all ignored, and nothing wanted but u kind of dogfish fidelity, an unreasoning belief/ Hestor felt it cruel to bo 11u.de to dance oven, to ho spun through tho crowd as if in the merest caprice of gayety, while at such a crisis of her fate. But neither this nor their subsequent conversations made any difference; tlie ovening passed for her ua in a dream. Edward, who was uot much of a dancer, aud seldom cared to perform these rites with any partner but herself, danced repeatedly with others that night, while Hester stood by, looking on with gathering bewilderment. She had a headache, she said. It was her mother's way of getting free of every embarrassment, and Hester wns acquainted with tho expedient, though she had not hitherto beeu tempted to use it. She sat by Mrs. Merridew, the mother of the house, who was a kind woman, and disposed to be good to her. "Just say the word, my dear, and as soon as our carriage comes I will take you home," this lady snid: "for to sit with a rucking headache aud watch other young folks dancing is more thnn flesh and blood can bear." But nine! Mrs. Merridew's carriage wns not ordered till two o'clock, nnd Hoster had to bear her burden. And of course it was not thus that the evoning ended. He came to Beek her at Mrs. Merridew's side, and hoard tho account of their headache with a sympathetic countenance. "This was our dance," ho snid; "but come into the hall instead, whero it is cool, and let mo get you some tea." Ho plnced her there, in the shelter of the evergreens, when all tbu hub-bub of the next dance was in full progress. They were quiet, almost alone, and Edward was in a fever of high spirits and excitement. Be had said littlo about love in that strange moment when he had taken possession of her. Now he made up for nil deliciencioE. She endeavored at first to bring him bnck to what she culled the moro important subject. ''Can nuy subjeot lie more important?" ho said, with tender reproach. And she was silenced, for what could she say? And the moments Hew too fast and were too brief tn bo lost in any struggle. Thoy parted, with a few mysterious words whispered into her onr, which did much, however, to bring baok tbe painful tension which had relaxed a littlo in his presoncc. "If 1 send to you, you will see me, Hester?" he whispered. "Vou won't think of proprieties? I might have to put your love to tbo tost—to nsk you—" "What?" she cried, with almost a spasm of alarm. Ho gave her hnnd a warning clnsp aa he put her into the fly, and thon, stouping to arrange the shawls around her, kissed it secretly. And thnt was nil. She drove home iu the silence nnd dark, feeling every word thrill her through, going over it again and agnin. Whut was this teat of lovo that might bo required of her? What did he expect her to do for him, in ignorance, m blind trust? Hester had too high a spirit to accept this vole with ease. She waa bewildered—dazzled by the lavish outpouring of his love; but all that did not blind her tu the strung*- injustice of this treatment, the cruelty mi hor helpless position. For what could sbo do? She could not dosert him.in his hour of need; if he made this call upon her which bo spoke of do mysteriously, it would no doubt be in his utmost need, when to desert him would be like a traitor. And Hoster knew that she could confront any danger with him or for him —but what waa it? A dilemma so terrible hud never presented itself to her imagination. There wns a cruelty in it, a depreciation of nil the nobler parts of her, as if only in ignorance could Bhe be trusted. Her mother's * questions about tho ball, and whether ahe had danced much, and who her partners had heen, wero insupportable, as insupportable as the maunderings uf Emma. In abort, if there was anything that could have made this mystery and darkness in which her way seemed lust more hard to bear, it was the background of amusement and supposed 1 if-ht-hear ted ness against which it was set. "My head ached," she said, "I scarcely danced at nil," by way of freeing hwself; but this opened only another kind of torture, for poor Mrs. John, well uaed to the feminine indulgence of headaches, had a wholo surgery of little remedies, and bathed her child's forehead, and drew back hor hair, and would have administered sal volatile, toa, eau-do- cologne—there was no telling how many cures—if Bhe had been allowed. "Let me fan you then, my love; aometimes that does me a great deal of good. J ust let me pour a littlo eau- de-cologne first; you don't kuow how cooling lt is." "Oh, mammal let me be still; let me bt In the dark; go to bed, and don't mind me," cried Heater. "My lovel how oould I do that and leave my ohild to suffer,'' said Mrs. John, heroically; and it was heroic, for the night was cold, tho tire burning low, and tho hour three o'cloek. Heater, with her brain throbbing, all inaccessible to Bau-de-cologne, did not know Jhow to free her mother from this too-generous unnecessary martyrdom. She began to talk to break the spell. "Emma is very happy," Bhe Baid, "•he danced with Edward Vernon. She thinks perhaps it may make the other Bpeak, or that oven Edward him- ■elf—" Heifer broke off, with a quiver in her Up. "I am becoming nialiciouB, like the rest," she said. "That ii not malicious, dear," aaid Hn. John. "Emma la rery amusing, being M tank* but ihe ii right enough J when you come to think of it; for what can she do if site does not marry? And I am suro Edward Vernon, though Catherine makes such a fuss about him, is nothing so very great. I wonder what ho meant coming here that ono night, and so lato." "It was by accidont," Hester said, "It was a very odd accident," cried her mother; "no one else evor did so," "Ho had been sitting late over his work, and bis hend wna very full of— biiamesa." Mra. John lookod in all the conti dence of superior wisdom into her daughter's face. A smile dawned upon her lips. "Perhaps you think ho was coining to confide his troubles about his business, Hester, to you and me." "And why not?" said Hester, raising herself from her bed. Mrs. John dropped her fan in her suprlse, and sat down abruptly upon tho littlo chair by Heater's bedside, to her daughter's grent relief. "Why not?" sho said. "I think, though you are my own, that you are tho strangest girl I ever knew. Do you think a man ever talks to women about theso things/ Oh, perhaps to a woman liko Catherine, that ii the snmo as n man. But to anybody ho cares for—never, oh, nover, dear! I supposo ho hus u respect for you and me; think of any man venturing to bring business into my drawing-room, though it is only a poor little parlor now, not n drawing-room at all. Oh, no, that could never—never be! In all my life I never descended so low as that," Mrs. John Baid, with dignity. "I used to be brought into contact with u great many business pimple when your dear papa wiib living; but they never talked 'shop,' na they called it, before mo." "But my father himself!" said Heater, her eyes blazing with the keenest interest; "you knew all his affairs?1' Mrs. John held her delicnto littlo hands clasped for a momont, and*then flung them apart, as if throwing the suspicion away.. "Never!" she eried; "ho respected me too much. Your poor papa wns incautious about money, Hester, nnd thnt has done a groat deal of harm to both of us, for we are poor, and we ought to have been rich; but ho always hnd too much respect for me to mix me up with business. You are very inexperienced, iny. denr, or you would know that such n thing could not be." Hester followed her mother with her large eyes, with a wondering, wide gaze, which answered well enough for thnt of believing surprise, almost awe, which Mrs.. John wm vory willing to recognize us a suitable expression. Aud there was indeed a sort of awe in the girl's perception of her mother's perfectly innocent, perfectly assured theory of .whnt was right in women. What wonder that a man should think so, when women themselves thought bo! This strange discovery composed and stilled her, whon at last sho was left in the dnrk and in pence. Hester kept gazing through thnt wintry blackness, with eyes still wide open, and her clear brows puckered with wonder and alarm. Was it natural, then, a thing she Bhould accept us just, that it wus enough for her te sympathize, to share the consequences, to stand by the chief actor, whatever happened, but nevor to share in the initiative, or have any moral ooncern in the motive or the menus of whnt wns dono? A sense of helplessness.be- gail to take the placo of indignation in lior mind. Wns that whnt they called tho natural lot of women—to suffer, perhaps to share the blame, but havo no Bhare in tho plan; to sympathize, but not to know; to move on blindly nccording to sume rule of loynlty and obedience, which to nny other creature in the world would be folly nnd guilt / , Hut her mother knew nothing of auch hard words. To lior this wns not only tho ri»ht stnto of affairs, but to suggest nny bettor rulo was to fail in respect to the lady whose right it wus to bo loft ignorant. Hester tried to Binilo when she recalled this, but could not, her lieurt being too sore, her wholo being shaken. lie thought so too, perhaps; everybody thought sn, and alio alone, an involuntary rebel, would be compelled to accept tho yoke which to other women was a simple mutter, and their natural law.. Why then, was she made unlike others, or why wns it so? Edward had been in great spirits that night. Thu next time they met was in the afternoon, lute, whon Hester wus returning from a visit to Mrs. Morgan. It wns nearly dark, and it startled her to seo him standing waiting for her under one of the trees past the gate of the Vernonry. She went slowly, Bomewhat reluctantly, to join him, on tho sign, just discernible, in the dark, which he mnde her. He caught her hand quickly, as she came op, and drew it within his arm. "You have been so long with that old woman, and I hava wanted you so," ho cried, lending her away along tho deserted country road, which struck off at right angles with the common. "Couldn't you divine that I wanted you ? Didn't you know by instinct I was longing for consolation ?" "Oh, Edward! whatiswrong? What has made bo great a change in you ?" alio cried. He drew hor arm oloBer and closer through hie, nnd loaned upon her as if his appeal for support was physical too, "I told you it was too 'long to explain," he Baid; "it ia all the worry of business. Sometimes things seem going well, and then I am top-gallant high, and vex you with my levity, as the other night—you know you were vexed the other night —and then things turn badly, and I am low, low down in the depths, and want my love to comfort me. Oh, if you only be- longod to me, Hester, and wo had a home somewhere, whero I could go in to you and Bay 'Console me!' " "But, Edward, your business never used to be a fever and an excitement like this." "How do you know? I did not dar© to como to you; and you were a child then. Ah, but you are quite right, Hester; it was different. But a man cannot vogitute forever. I endured it aa long as I could. Now it iB all on a turn of the cards, and I may bo able to face the world to-morrow, and have my own way." "On a turn of the cards! Edward, you cannot mean it is play ? You are not a—gambler ?" Hester gave a little convulsive cry, clutching him by the arm with both hands. He laughed. "Not with cards, certainly," ho said. "I am a respectable bunker, my darling, and very knowing in my investments, with porhaps a taste for speculation-—bat that nobody haa brought home to me yet, It is a very legitimate way of making a fortune, Hester, It Ib only when you lose that it becomes a thing to blame," "Ho you mean speculation, Edward ?" "Something nf that sort; a capital horse when it carries you over the ford, and everything that is bad when you lose." (To be Oontimwa.)
