Wrilnr.ilor MornUm, Full. 10, IM, PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE. Mr. Beaven moved "that tliis house is of opinion that tlie public accounts, in detail, from lst July to 31st December, 1885, should be printed and placed before members this session, in the same form as tho accounts for the fiscal year are now printed in the sessional papers." He complained that the public accounts from the fiscal year June 30th, 1885, until. 30th December, 1885, should have been brought down in supplementary form. During every session that had commenced in January the accounts Imd always been presented up to 31>t December of the previouByear. Tlio present session formed the first exception. Hon, Mr, Smithe said a financial statement for G mos. of the current year would cost a great deal, and when tho annual statement was made it would all havo to be done over again. Tho departmental work now was infinitely greater than it had beon under the late administration, but if tho cost of conducting the departments happened to exceed that of former years, the opposition at once found fault; and if this motion were oarried it would necessitate considerable extra expenditure. The books of the treasury were always open to tho inspection of members, and he could see no reason for incurring such an expense as tho resolution asked. A balance sheet had been made up to tho 31st December, but ho did not think there was any need for a detailed statement. Mr. Galbraith, Mr. Helgesen, Mr, Dunsmuir, Hon. Mr. Duck, Mr. Grant, Mr, Pooley, Mr. Semlin, Mr. T. Davte, and Hon. Mr, Rob* son all spoko to the question, and the provincial secretary proposed to amend the resolution so us to read that the returns bo published in the sessional papers this year, and be laid beforo the houso this session if possible, Mr. McLceso protested against the amendment, after which Hon. Mr. Smithe said the discission had taken such a wide range, and so mnny misleading statements had been made, tliat he must go over a good deal of ground that would otherwise have been unnces* sary. He had never blamed the Walkem government for spending targe sums of money on public works, but for spending the revenue recklessly without being ablo to mako a satisfactory showing for it. He referred to the SI00,000 spent ou tho New Westminster-Hope wagon road as a shameful waste, and said that while the Wallcem government wus squandering the public funds it wus making no preparation whatever to meet the crash that everybody knew must come as the result of spending from §200,000 to 8300,- 000 a year beyond the revenue With a revenue of §372,000 in 1874 that government had undertaken an expenditure of 8583,000, leaving a deficit of over 8200,000. Nothing daunted, they went at it again in 1875 with a revenue reduced to $351,000, and expended 8614,000. Tho natural result of course followed, they had to give place to abler and better men; and he would say this, that tho Elliott govornment, finding the financial affairs of thu country iu an utterly wrecked condition, went to work like statesmen, und framed a fiscal policy which, although bitterly op* foscd by Mr. Beavon nt the time, ud been adopted by every government since, und the revenue was uow doublo wlmt it was beforo the policy wus inaugurated. Mr. Beavon had said that tho prosperity of tlie country was due to Ounadiuu Pacific railway construction, and not to anything dono by this government. He would ask that gentleman how it was that the prosperous condition of things did not mako its appearance until after the present government took otlice, notwithstanding the railway work had beeu going ou for three years before thut timet Kailway construction began in 1880, and a full year after the returns of revenue show 8397,000 for the year, just 86,000 over the preceding year when there was no railway work going on. The next year shows 8405,000, an increase of 88,000, and the noxt year shows 8425,000, an increaso of 820,000. The prosperity superinduced by railway construction, during tho Beaven regime, us measured by the returns of revenue, wus only a matter of 830,000 in three years. Remarkable to relate, however, if railway construction hud all tn do with the prosperous condition of things, us Boon as the present governmont eumo iu tho revonue jumped from 8425,000 to $503,000, and in tho next your it went up to 8600,000, Here is an increase of revenue in two years of 8175,000, as ugninst 834,000 in three years oqunlly during railway construction during the late govoi'iiment'H term of ollice. Tho funis are indisputable, aud although they had little to do with the HMMfi The British Columbian. VOLUME 29 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. O;, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1886, NUMBER 12 question before the house, the peculiar frailty the members of the opposition have for making incorrect statements on all kinds of subjects, whether pertinent to the question at issuo or not, made it necessary to put them right to prevent false impressions being made. The resolution had been thoroughly argued and ho thought the house well understood now that the government had not the slightest wish to prevent the fullest information being obtained upon every subject connected with the affairs of the country. The return asked for in this instance would be gladly made if it were possible without the delay of a single day, but it -Would be absurd to assent to an order which it was known beforehand was impossible of fulfilment. The amendment would, he was sure, comniend itself to every reasonable mind m the house. It requires the return to be made as soon as possible, and if it cannot be got out before the house prorogues then that it be published in the sessional papers, wheu hon. members of the opposition will be able to use it for electioneering purposes to their heart's content, After some remarks from Mr. Semliii, Mr. Orr, Mr. Grant, Mr. Dunsmuir, and Mr. Wilson, the amendment was put and oarried on tho following division: Ayes—Smithe, Eobson, Duck, A. E. B. Davie; Martin, Allen, Dingwall, Dunsmuir, Wilson, Cunning- ham, Drake, Raybould, Pooley, McTavish, Cowan, John, T. Davie, Orr.—18. Noes—Semlin, Grant, Beaven, Galbraith, McLeese, Helgesen.—6. How a Mother Wns Convened. From tho Diary of a Criminal Lawyer of Ovor Thirty Years' Practice, "A lady who had been one of an audience, said to me: 'Mr. Richmond, you go too far. I don't want to vote. I would not if I could. I don't think it would be eery nice for ladies to go to the polls among'a crowd of men and vote!' Oh, dour! what a reason for not giving tlm moral weight of woman's influence at an election. 'It wouldn't be very nice, etc' I suppose women don't go to church among a crowd of men, or tu the theatre or opera, or to large purlieu, and there, dressed as scantily as tho season will permit, circle through the voluptuous evolutions uf the waltz or round dance in the em- bruco of another woman's husband or brother!! But it is not nice to go to an election among a crowd of men, and drop into a box a piece of paper on which ib written, 'the country needs moral, honest, and temperate mea to make laws, and we will have no other.' It is 'not nic»' to stand boldly up for the right, aud for tho sake of fathers, husbands, and sons, demand of onr rulers that vice and temptations to sin shall not bo established by law, or licensed by legal enactments. Said 1 to the good lady, 'Madam, you have a son, a young man, I believo?' 'Yes,' she answered, 'and ho is a strong temperance man.' 'Yuu love him, undoubtedly, u a mother should V I asked. 'Now, suppose that your sun, every day as he went to aud fro from his home to his placo of business, had to pass by a drinking saloon; suppose he Hlioulil bo tempted to gu in and drink— at first unly occasionally, but aa the appetite increased, more and more frequently, until ut last he Bhould be brought home to yuu intoxicated; and you knew that the temptation the law licensed and established by the side of his daily pathway, had led him astray —that ho was being ruined, and that even your prayers would uot save him from a drunkard's life aud a drunkard's death, would you hesitate une moment, if it were in your power, to go to the Eolls and vote to abolish the saloon, to lot nut of existence the temptation that was leading your boy to ruin Y 'No!' said she, 'I would go, if God gave me strength to walk, or even creep ou my hands and knttei, and I would do nil I could to vote out of existence the vile spot, and the laws that established it.' 'But,' said I, 'what about the crowd of men around the polls?' 'I would not care for them,' she said, her eye kindling with that maternal instinct that prompts the must timid animal to tight fur its young, 1 wonld go if every man in the crowd were a devil—nnd I would save my boy or die!' There spoke the true, uuble-hearted woman und mother. Like tho lioness at bay, she was ready to fight singly the whole host interested iu rum to savo her darling child.'' I will add: Genuine modesty and true religion aru the two brightest urna- monts that adorn the brow of woman. Put the ballot in the hand of woman and it will do moro to destroy the 'social evil' than a century of mission efforts, or all the powers of moral suasion. The opinions of society in all ages havo been but n reflex of the spirit of the laws that govern the nation, Let woman help to make the laws, and thereby reform public opinion, Wm. Kbnt. While Canada, with a population of 5,000,000, is groaning under a publie debt of less than 850 per head, for whioh she possesios valuable assets, tho Australian colonies manage to exist under much heavier indebtedness. The debt, per capita, of New Zealand is nearly 8300; of Victoria and New South Wales about 8150, and of the ueiuhboring colonies about the same, ana for those heavy burdens they have few publio improvements, suoh as Canada pusaussus, tn show, Iu comparison with the other colonies of the empire, the Dominion occupies a favorable position, aud our futuro is full of hope— Evening Journal,Ottawa. Among the features of thu Colonial Exhibition in London, noxt summer, will bu aquarium tanks containing as many of the fishes and mm-ino productions of the colonies hs ran bu brought nlivii to England.

Fob. 10, imi. Statistics show that the valuo of tho agricultural products of tho United States in 1880 was $10,197,- 096,776. In tlie same yenr American manufactures were worth $5,- .169,667,706. The latest available statistics of the mines give $413,- 104,020. It will be seen, therefore, how perfectly true isthe claim that the United States is an agricultural country, for the products of the soil are worth more, probably, than all the other sources of wealth together. In a recent number the London Lancet gives statistics of the cholera epidemic in Europe last year. The disease seems to have completely ceased its ravages for the season a,t least, nlthougli it may quite possibly manifest itself again upon the return of summer. In Spain the number of deaths last year amounted to 78,703, in France about 1,200, and iu Italy and Sicily about 1,500, making n total of over 82,400. It may fervently he hoped that this dreadful plague will not he repeated in 1886. The experiment of educating Indians at Wabash, Ind., has proved singularly successful. Three years ago 40 young Indians and squaws from tho west were placed under training at the Normal Labor Institute, and in 3 years they have gono through the entire course of instruction with very great credit to themselves. The boys are carefully instructed in the science and art of agriculture, ns woll us in literary, mathematical and scientific subjects, and the girls have obtained ti thorough domestic education according to the ideas of modern civilization. One of the girls has developed such wonderful literary talent that she will make an effort to graduate in a regular college. Our friend of the Victoria Standard declares The Columbian's suggestion to appropriate provincial funds for the purpose of sending Chinamen back to thoir own country a "political dodge." In the very next breath the organ doubts "whether any member of the house would dare to support any such ridiculous srggestion." Now, if the proposal could not gain the support of one member in the house, what possible value can it have as a political dodge! Sometimes these party organs involve themselves in strange inconsistencies in "tlio endeavor to mislead. The Ohinese question is not a political party question at all, inasmuch as both parties have explicitly pronounced against the Chinese. Riot and Bloodshed. From our despatches in another column it will be seen that the anti- Chinese agitation at Seattle has resulted in a very serious riot accompanied with bloodshed. It seems that the anti-Ohinese organization had made secret arrangements to send away the Chinamen by force on the steamship Queen of the Pacific, and had driven them like sheep down to the wharf for that purpose. Before the steamer could get away the condition of affairs came to the knowledge of the authorities, and, to their credit, they immediately took steps for the protection nf the celestial prisoners. The militia was called out, but tho mob does not seem to have had respect for the authority or fear for tho weapons of the citizen-soldiers, and made an assault upon them. The condition of affairs was very critical, and the guards were ordered to fire on the mob, which they did with fatal effect, Tt may be ques tioned liy some whether lhe order was justified by the circumstances, but tlie attitude of tho crowd veins to have been both hostile and aggressive, -and it was certainly a most dangerous thing for them to attempt to take rifles out of tho hands of tho soldiers. The lesson is a severe one, and may exercise a most wholesome influence upon other ugitators who have hoped to loom up into notoriety on this very same question. There is no doubt that Ohinese labor is a curse to the country, and that the unfair competition which results from it is to a great extent the cause of the distress prevailing on tho sound and in some districts of British Columbia too. But tliese facts, much us they may tend to excite and arouse those who have suffered because of them, do not constitute a justification of the outrages witnessed in Seattle and elwwhere in Washing ton Territory. Let the anti Chinese forces make use of every legitimate means to get rid of the nuisance; but whenever laws nro set at defiance, the powerful arm of thc luw must be expected to be reached out for the restoration of order, Tho conduct of the mob was such as could not be tolerated under any circumstances: it must be resisted and resented, or, finding itself able to overawo the guardians of the law, the mob would probably proceed to other excesses more serious still. It is vory much to be -egretted that the anti-Chinese associations of the sound Imve permitted themselves to be carried away beyond the boundaries of justice and fair play. Tiiey will find that the excesses committed by thein* Ives will assuredly tend to alienate public sympathy from them to the very peoplo thoy are so anxious to exterminate. It is never best to do violence to one's conscience and better judgment. The Chinese may be very undesirable people, but they have rights which must not be violated, and they are entitled to the fullest protection of the laws of Canada tind the United States in the enjoyment of these rights. On tlie Wrong Track. The Victoria Times endeavors to make a point against the provincial government because the expenditures during the past three yeurs have exceeded the "ordinary" revenue. Assuming the figures put forward by the Times to be correct, the point sought to be made is a failure. In the first place these figures show that the excess of expenditure over revenue for the year ending 31th June, 1883, was $155,- 773, which is nearly twice as much as tho excess in any subsequent year. Now, the present government took office on tlie 29th January, 1883, and the estimates for the then current fiscal year, commencing on 30th June 1882, had, of course, been prepared entirely by the preceding nd ministration, and for it the present government could not be held responsible. It follows, therefore, that the government of Mr. Beaven {whom the Times supports) so ar- ■anged the estimates as to leave a deficit of 8155,773. The following year the expenditure exceeded the ordinary revenue by $83,863, and by $53,227 the yoar after. Adding tliese deficits together the Times gets a sum of $292,864 which, it says, represents the amount expended by this government during tho past three yoars in excess of tlie ordinary revenue — forgetting to mention that a good deal more than half the deficit accrued under the administration of its own friends. But there is another side to this matter which is a great deal more important than the question of responsibility. The Times speaks only of the ordinary revenue, But every one knows that besides tin ordinary revenue, there has been received a considerable sum of money to recoup the province for expenditures on the dry-dock. This dock money had to become a part of the revenue, and could either have been laid up as a surplus or expended in much-needed public improvements. The government decided that in the latter course lay the best interests of the country, and the dock money, or at least a portion of it, has been expended in roads and bridges and other works necessary to the public convenience, Now, we are quite sure tliere is no one in British Columbia who would seriously advocate the accumulation of a surplus, or the hoarding of tlio dock money as an asset, when there are so maney places all over the province where money is urgently needed for public improvements. The present revenue, although it has increased enormously under the present administration, is quite inadequate to the wants of the coun try, and any administration that undertook to pile up u surplus under such circumstances would not, in our judgment, be wisely employing its resources. But no matter which view the Times takes, it fails to make out n case against the administration because, as we have nl read v shown from its own figures, the deficit that occurred on tho last estimates of Mr. Beaven was greater than those of the two succeeding years for which the Smitho government is responsible—and thero is now a surplus of over 8100,000 i the treasury!

Ciiine.sk Exportation.—On Saturday attention was drawn to the fuet that tho Chinese Six Companies had offered to assist pour Chinamen who wero anxious to return to China, The following is the full text of the circular issued by the companies: "On account of the harsh treatment that a number of our countrymen havo received from the hands of a olass of unprincipled white men, we have made arrangements with both the O. &0. and tho P.M.S.S, companies to run the four steamers—City of Peking, City of New York, Gaelic and Belgic—from the 27th day of the month, for the purpose of carrying home thoso of our countrymen who should feel disposed to return to our native land, at the reduced rnte of $25 each person.

Arrivalopthe Train—The through tram from Savona arrived on Sunday afternoon, with about 15 passengers. The down trip was very tedious, as there were many delays. Slides of snow and earth and rook are taking place all along the line, and at some places the embankments have been badly washed away by Hoods. Shortly after passing Emory a large rock was encountered on the middle of the track whieh the train men cuuld not move. Capt. Bristol saw that the train was stuck, and came over from Hope iu a canoe, bringing some dynamite with which ho soon cleared the track. At Maple Ridge the bank is sliding again, and there ure prospects of further trouble when the frost has all gone out of the ground. Besides the passenger train, two cattle trains came down on Sunday, bringing 220 head of cattle. A short distance above Yule a boulder came down the mountain sido while the cattle train was passing and crashed into one of the cars. In consequence of these dangers the trains have to be run with grout caution, und it is not every person that cares to take tho risks of a railway ride under such circumstances. Thu train left Port Moody and Port Hammond yesterday morning for Savona.

Seattle Under Martial Law! anti CHINESE AGITATION ENDS IN RIOT. Deiiath on thr Addrkus — The do* bate closed on Monday.

They contained nothing that would In any way have improved that document, and they gavo no more information concerning the affair-) of the province. If there is nothing that requires immediate legislation, it is surely better not to introduce anything now until the electors are heard from, this being the last session of the present houso. Fault-finding is something that anyi.no oan do, and the fault-finder who has nothing to suggest iu the way of improvement might us well say nothing.

VroiD tiranue Creek. 'lie following letter, written to a tloman in this city by Mr. Donald MeUw' ir, will be found interesting, especially as the writer is known to many of our readers. It iB dated at Granite Creek on tlio 20th January: "I would have writton to you bi fore, but there has been a great deal of excitement hore about roported strikes and new discoveries, and it seemed to me better to await further developments beforo expressing an opinion. Even now I would not venture to say as much in favor nf the mines as some do, but I will give ■oino items that may be of interest to yourself and others of my frionds. Granite Creek, from within a Bliort distance of its mouth for a distance of about 3 miles up, is a sort of canyon with very precipitous bunks, mostly covered with crumbling rocks, which renders it difficult and dangerous for travel. This section of the creok is easily worked when the water is low. as it is on nn average only about 3 fuet lo bed rock; nnd although it in not a placo where uu old miner would expect to Hnd much gold, the most of it has paid well. The upper portion of the creek, commonly called thu South Fork, is. deeper to bod reck, and somo wider, witli gradually sloping banks. There are parties prospecting on it at intervals for a distance of 5 or 0 miles, and sume of them are getting a little gold, of the same quality as that which is found on the lower portion of the creek. It is the opinion of old miners iu general that there is a probability of this upper section being richer than thu lower onu, but other excitements caused prospecting to be delayed until late in the season, and nono of Ihe parties havu yet reached bed rock. Tho town is rapidly spreading over the fiat at the mouth of the creok. Thero are at present I) general stores, including 2 Chinese stores, il saloons, and 3 restaurants. There are great preparations bt*in-> made for Ihu spring trade, and for hotuo hutldhig. Two pack train* arrived via Nicola to-day, and two more nnt expected to-morrow by tho sumo mute.

T., Feb. 8.-This has been the darkest day in the history of Seattle. Citizens nro arrayed against each other and tho bitterness against factions is indescribable. One scene of the excitement hits followed upon another through the day until the citizens scarcely know whicli way to turn. At 3 this morning two companies of militia marched duwn from the rendezvous at. the court house to the Ocean Dock, where tho steamer Queen of tlie Pacific waa lying nnd where several hundred Chinamen wero huddled together under the guard of the Anti- Chinese Committee. The guards were quickly made prisoners and the militia throw out lines of sentries guarding all approaches to the dock. Warrants had previously been issued for the arrest of lending agitators, and beforo daybreak the work of arresting them began, files of armed men taking thum Erniii their homes to jail. All these, however, were hailed almost as soon as arrested. Captain Alexander, of thc str. Queen of iho Pacific, having previously reported to the court in answer to a writ of habeas corpus that ho was unable tn produce thy Chinamen on his vessel, being restrained by fon-o, .fudge Greene issued an ordor to the sheriff to bring them into court at ail hazards. The sheriff accordingly wont to the steamer accompanied by about 300 militia nnd deputies armed with ritiec. The Chinameii were taken from Wio" vessel and-marched tothe court house, no resistance being met with on tho way. Thoro they were informed that the court would give thein the fullest protection in its power; but they were warned that thc present troublo would be liable to recur at any moment. Each Chinaman wns asked whether, under the circumstances, he desired to go or Btay. Tho vast majority preferred to go, nnd were escorted back to the steumer, passage being paid hy the city and by subscriptions. Others were taken to places of sufoty. Up to this time there had been no bloodshed, although the streets were crowded with excited men nnd the militia often moved from plnco to placo with difficulty. The real troublo commenced at noon when tho Queen sailed, after having been detained 24 hours. She took out 195 Chinamen, and about 100 more, whom tho steamer was unable to take, were left ovor until the sailing of next steamer. About 50 home guards undertook to escort these from the dock. As thoy reached the intersection of Commercial and Main streets the vast crowd surged, formed, and attempted to Beize the Chinamen. The guards resisted, and the crowd attempted to tako tho guns from thom,, An order to firo wns s-iven, nnd a volley was discharged into tho crowd. Five men foil under the firo. Tho crowd recoiled and both companies of militia camo up on double quick and thu troops and honso guards formed a hollow square, facing up and down Main and Commercial streets. Iu this position they*, held tho crowd at bay fully an hour, when it began to disperse. The troops then escorted tha Ohinamen to their houses nud repaired to their nnnorii-a. Thu injured are George Smith, ngotl 30, shot through tho right arm; Bernard Mulrein, 25, shot in left lun-.', ptnbftblv fatal; Chas.

All judicial processes have bucu suspended ami persons found on the street lifter 7 p.m. are al once placed under arrest. Every precaution has been made to defend the court houso in cnBe of nu attack, and the military authorities nre beginning to feel able to cope with thu mob. A cnll haB been issued in the namo of tho territory for volunteers, and many oittaons are enrolling themselves. Tho mob is vory bitter against the home guard who fired upon thu people, and threats of vengeance are heard on every side. Appeals of a most urgent nature have been sent for U.S. troops, and they aro now on route for thu oity. (Midnight).—At this hour everything is quiet.

He said that this Compnny (the Dominion Organ and I'iano Company) had not only taken the highest award there, the very highest the judges could possibly confer over all other competitors, from Kngland, France, and Germany, the very centres of cultivated classic music, countries justly celebrated for their skill and acquirements in musical knowledge, but these judges, who comprised some of their ablest and best musicians, had declared further that the instruments of this company were superior to any they had ever seen, heard, or examined, With such a compliment from such a source, in addition to their success at this Exhibition, thc Company ought to feel content.

Nkw Yokk, Jan. 28.—The IVmid publishes four colunniB of a Washington special on the histury of the Puu- electric Telephone. Tho pith uf the article is an attack on Attorney-General Garland, The article Bays: To fully understand thc interest which Attorney-General Garland hurl in breaking down the Bell patent, it will be necessary to recapitulate a little. Firat, there was 8500,000 worth of stock in the Pan Telephono Company one-tenth of the whole company was his. Then there is tho 840,000,000 capital stock of the license com pan ies of which 40 per cent, or 810,000.000 belongs to the Pan Company. Of this emu-tenth, or §1,000,000, belongs to Attornoy-Gonoral Garland. But this is not all, or evon a small pnrt of what would result from the breakint* down uf the Bell patents, Tn tlmt event, there would not bo eight, but at least fifty companies, with capital stouks icragiiii; §5,000,000 each that would :cli liconses from the Pan-electric company. Tno hundred.and fifty mil* lions ut dollars is an exceedingly smalt estimate uf the amount at which the companies using tho Pan-elect ric telephone wuuld be capitalized if the Bell patent was invalidated. Forty per cent or §100,000,000 of tliis stock would belong to Pan Company. Oiiu- tentli of lhat, or 810,000,000 would be tlio property of Attorney •General Garland, paying only 5 per cent, and this is n small allowance, he would have au income of over §500,000, and that without being out ono dollar. Senator Harris nnd Col. Young, Gen. .Johnston and Commissioner Atkins, Dr, Rogers and Ool, Loiiey would each have as much, or more. A sparrow Adjourned the Court Phh-apelphia, Pa., Jan, 0.—While Judge Wilson was listening to the argument for a new trial in the Work case in thn old court house to-day, Court Oftloers flent.'ier and Murray stood at one of tho windows cooking up political schemes and watchiiig the sparrows that flitted about through thu big snowdrifts in tho cuilvunl. Court Oflicer Gentner saw a Hock of the little birds fly away, and noticed that ono bird snt on the snow motionless. Hu called Oflicer Murray's attention to it. They went out and brought thu half- frozen bird into the court.room They laid it ou the register, and the heat from the furnace in the cellar soon thawed the numbness from its little body, and it began to chip. District Attorney Graham stopped to listen to its chatter. Then Judge Wilson became interested in tho little sparrow and didn't appear to hear what ths lawyers were saying. The reault wai* that the court took a recess of five minutes to look at the little stranger. Judge Wilson had hardly resumed his seat in the judicial chair when the sparrow began to hop about and fly about the court room and over the Judge's head. Everybody watched the sparrow, aud Judge Wilson smiled. 'lhe court officers were going to drive it out into the storm, thinking it annoyed the court, but District* Attorney Graham stopped them. Judge Wilson Bent Court Oflicer Gentner out to get some bread for the sparrow, and the officer throw crumbs to it. When the janitor locked the doors of tho old court houso in the afternoon the sparrow waa perched on thc gable of one of the windows. Judge Wilson left orders to let tho bird stay in the courtroom until Monday morning.—New York Times. A Monkey's Trlek. On board a ship there was a big monkey, so savage that it had to bo tas-ened up with a short chain and a bell around its body. Tliere was also a littlo monkey, quite tame and harmless, which was allowed to have its liberty. One hot day tho two monkeys were lying on deck near each other, apparently fast asleep. Suddenly the little one roused up, and had a good look to see if his big com rude was really asleep. Being What Is to Come of ihe Negro? The negro is no lunger a problem. He is part of the body politic, and tho body social of the republic. He iB firmly rooted and cannot ba moved. He is here to stay; and any attempt to disturb hiin or to excite hiB fearo as to his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit to happiness, is nothing lesa than a crime. A question touching tlw negro, like any other, must be considered from this cuniinon-seii.se standpoint, and every suggestion for its Bolutioii must be subjected to the probing and searching "What good?" Prejudice must not be allowod a voice in its solution, and passion must be excluded from counsel. The negro will not consent to his own deportation. The southern planters, too, would not if they could, consent to it, nor to any agitation of it, because it unsettles and unhinges j the labor thnt is more profitable free 1 than it ever was or could be in the dnys of slnvery. The negro is more intelligent now than then, and therefore inore valuable because a bottor, a closer, and moro skilful worker. De- portation is not, for these reasons, to be considered. Wo must, therefore, denl with the negro, and treat of him with the full understanding that we cannot got rid of him. His commercial value, supplementing his rights under thu federal and stato constitutions, says wu ennnut. What then is to be done with the negro? Nothing but increase the number of schools and schoolmasters, make education compulsory, and mako technical education easily available to him in all parts of tho south, The negro must be taught tho virtuo of solf-reli- ance, and the value of the courts as his safeguard and defense under the constitution and laws of the nation and ut the states. Agitation exalts the negro to a degree of imaginary importance that people at the north cannot understand. He is a sensible man within his limits of mind and comprehension, so long as he feels that he is not the cent re of a pet anxiety. Agitation has retarded and interfered with bis growth in the past; it has proved exceedingly mischievous, and ia not to be thought of in thq future. It breeds dissatisfaction ' raises hopes that eau never be fulfilled, and tends to widen the breach botween the races. ■■~Pogify}'8&o*o* Monthly. -,'—'.. .-**■ ..—.-—_ Tjhe Queen has called upon Gliul- ihsm to form m cabinet, not because she likes him, but because he ia the representative of the progressive element in England.

Salvation Army for the current year at .£30,- 000. This sum is needed for the efficient maintenance and develop ment of all the operations now in existence, and is thus divided: For the general work and the prison brigade, £14,000; the training of officers, £8,000; foreign work, £0,000; sick and wounded, £2,000. He describes the year 1884-85 as having "beeu one protracted, heavy struggle with persecutions, afflictions, and trials of every kind, not tlm least of which has been the desperate effort mado to utterly destroy our public reputation, while from the Army's earliest days it has had a conseles^ wearying fight with financial difficult ties." It appears from the Army's tout annual report that while at honje-bhe t Salvationists' battles with rou«#B.and 'Skeletons" havo been fewar. than-' usual—Cambridge having b«an .chiefly remarkablo for the violence of; itn attacks upon the Army—abroad the 'soldiers" have encountered much violent opposition, and; notably in Switzerland.
