Bnt Utile Belief bom tlie Monotony et Existence—Decline In Bfnrftlfc Forne one asked a famous coleoptorisfc n'ur'lhr'rli.' did not regret having de- rote I Ilia life to such a narrow study. "No," ho einpliutically replied, "if I could live my life again I would dovoto it to one family of beetles." A melan- rlrvily examplfl of tire domination of one Id'-n. Ui nl e!v lizod peoples the most coiif-piiwiusly in wrrnt oi relief from tho inonoto iv ol tlieir ideas are the Chinese. Tlie Hin Ino* ilirivn their frequent poo- jalis, wlriih auto great inroads into thtir wo i.iiti linir; the Mohammedans havo their fuslivnls; the Burmese are always g iy, an<l ruquire very little pretext to. have a "iwoay," or entertainment: the Manilla Indians and Most- isos learl qiiitn a merry life; and ths Japautrsr wu know to lie tho best holiday mrUi-M in the world. But when wo cornr' lo thu Oliiruwi wu tree a plod. plod. plod from year's ond to year's end; and with tliu exception of n day or two's ruinous rissipation on the occasion of a iriiirrni e or a funeral, ami n littlo dumb show rrremony at thu Iniiiily grave, tho nr.linrrry life of a Chinese appears to foreign eyes as dull as that of a galley BluVe. liven tho rich are littlo better of! than the pour, owing to the absence of means of recreation a;r>l t.reir inability to enjoy t.iusj tlr.it do or alight exist An official rlrrres nut attend a theatre for fear of being denounced and to go for half.a day's picuio would expose him to the attacks of tliu censors. Tha amusements of these Chinese officials must, therefore, be kpt witbin the privacy of their own walls, and unless they have a strong taste for literature or imrro collcclina they..must often be ti'iupted to fall back un iwrsonal intrigue of various kinds, merely to occupy the va nut chainlrurs of the mind. Is it this that causes high Chinese officials to 1114 ge themselves in the prettiest details which in other countries would bu rel'gnteil to quit.- subordinate functionaries .' Tlie alrs.nce of healthy recreation irpiv ani lo art ou the mind as the pr.vnii .11 of v g'talilu diet does on the body; in th ■ oim cose the defect may Lu reine.iiinl liy. lime juice; what is the cure lor tli j ot Per? The aversion to physical exercise, partly innate and partly imposed by the oppressive canons of social etiquette, is perhaps the miost morally destructive of ull tonus ol tho privation of amusement. Moral health lies great diiiiculty in maiiit.i uing itself without frequent nud copious draughts from the refreshing springs of nature; and the life that is mewed up between brick walls, in an atm sphert. laden with odious effluvia, is of necessity'thrown back on ita own inner darkness, with what consequences it is easy to imagine. All forms of open air amusement are, therefore, to be considered as boons to the Chinese, and if oh Ihe love of. gambling, already .well developed, could be engrafted the love of true sport, it wonld be u sign of that awakening from tho sleep of ages which a celebrated essayist hu lately enlarged upon. Napoleon After Waterloo. Whether any course was open to Napoleon after the disaster of Waterloo other than that which he adopted, a second abdication, is certainly very doubtful. Had he taken the precaution to dissolve the Chambers beforo setting out on thu campaign iw probably could haveral ied thu nation and protracted thu htrurjylc. But the Chambers were untried!/; any parliamentary body is naturally unfriendly to a military despotism, an I at' that juncture nothing less than a military despotism oould possibly have savsd Frances Iroa the calamity of the restoration of the Bourbons by foreign bayonets. Henoe, unless Napoleon should execute anew ceiin dVful, there was nothing for him but abdication. On the Uth of Jaly 1815, Napoleon surrendered himself ou bond' the British man of war Ikw'erophon, Of hie appearance and bodily condition during the two months oi ids stay on thia vessel we have an i inlawing, account In the narrative ot Captain nfaitland. who commanded, the shin.

THE IWU.MoY* Ir/UriiCtSf. Secretary Fali-etillil ami tlie Eankors. Secretary Falrcliild recently went to New York and held n conference with several of its lending bankers, as to Iho policy pursued by tho Treasury Ue- p-rtm nt of tho Government with reference to the question of bond purchasers for tho relief of tho money market. TIipbo bankers, without exception, ex- pr. wl llicnisolvcs strongly in f rvor of the policy inilicutod in the lost treasury Circular. Theru-cnn be no doubt that the uicasnro proposed wub a wise ono. It at once prorltieed a better and moro hopeful state of feeling in tho circles of business. i Tho $14,000,003 ot bonds which tho Secret rry prorroscs to buy will, if pur- rliased, go to tho account of the sinking fjin.l. There is no reason, however. Wiry ho should stop the purelniso of boii'anl t:us point, provided tirilt tho nee ns.lies of the money nurrket rj- quln its continuance. He as ample authority nt nny timo to psa tho surplus money in the Treasury for Iho purchase of Government bonds. Tho micon.l action of tho Act of .March 3d, 18S1, expressly Bays: "That tho Secretary of the Treasury may at any timo apply the surpl h money in tho Treasury, not otherwise appro'priateii, or so. much thereof as ho may consider proper to the purchase or roileniption of United Hates borels; Proctiled that tho bonds .so purchased or redeemed shall constitute no part oi tho. sinking fund, but shall be canceled." The Secretary of the Treasury, having met the demands of the law in respect to tlio sinking fund, mny, under this authority, go on with his bond purchases, subject only to the conditions imposed by tlie law itself. There can- hot be the least doubt abont his authority in the premises. It is to bs remembered that the Treasury hu on hand a large surplus for which it hu no use, and that by the co.ljction of revenue it is constantly abstracting money from tlie channels of trade, at the rate of nearly $1,000,0:10 a day. Unless the whole or the larger portion of theso (unds is speedily returned to tho money market, the eli'ect is to withdraw money whicli the people need for commercial purposjs, iin.l lock it up in the Treasury in llio i.llo state, to the inconvenience and damage ol business. Thu only way in which tho Treasury, in existing circumstance^ can prevent this result is by tlie purchase ol Government bonds under tho authority given by tho Act of March 3rd, 1831. This he can and should do until Congress shall otherwise direct. In a Wlgmaker*. Establishment. The sign "Combings made up," in a showcase in which was displayed an assortment of wigs, toupees, waves, bangs and false arrangements of hair of every conceivable pattern and color, caused a reporter to ascend to tho second floor of a building in Brooklyn the other day. Ho found a pretty girl Bitting before a table on which lay peculiar looking combs and brushes and many tittle packages of hair. "what aro combings, nnd how are they made up 1" asked the scribe. "Have you nover noticed the cardboard receptacles, daintily trimmed with ribbon, that ladies hang near their toilet tables l Well, the hairs that tho comb pulls out in dressing the hair aro placed in those receivers. When a quantity is gathered they aro brought to us or so'nio other hair artist and mado up into bangs, waves or switches, that will perfectly match the rest of tho hair. We take tho coamings and arrange them into orderly buiurhos, liko tha kind we buy, and then make up as ord"rud. Watch how 1 mako a bang." Th-> girl placed three pieces of clastic between two supports so that they were stretched from four to ten inches in length. Then she took wisps of hair about four inchu long and deftly fssteued them doubled on the elastic. Fifty ol these on the elastics make a strip ol hair eight inches long. The girl then gave each lock oi hair a twirl with her fingers and it curled beautifully; then tho elastics were taken oil'tho supports.' There suit was a bang of curly hair four inches long and ready to be worn. ' "Tha hair curls becnuso it is curly hair," said the girl. "Wo buy it so or lanky, us wo want it. It costs about 5 J cents a hunch, aud a package will mako a hang, sometimes two. Un n spurt I can make livo down or so a day. Bangs retail ior about $1.50,each. Waves aro made of lonjer hair. They take more time in making and sell from $4 up, according to tho fineness of the hair, pattern and many other things. No, we don't make any chignons now, but, perhaps, wu may soon ; lor tho Grecian bend bustles are coming back, and the waterfalls may come with them, Why Burd.Ua Want. (Jnlot Similars. Speaking of the old Puritan Sabbath, as it wns observed in his younger days, Oliver Wen lell Holmes says: "1 have never got over Ih • saddening offects ol tills carry nra ipiiiu; in .eel, 1 havo hardly rccov. red fi-o.n it to this ilav." If the stern ull Puritan .'uobah, with its summing, sa Idening olleets, wrought out such joyous nutures as Uccclier's and gavo to tlie world such a lieniitiiiit blending of tonderuess and strength, laugher and tears, heart-deep pathos and sunny humor as Oliver Wendell Holmes, let us have another century of f uritan Sahlrath. Up to dat j the Sunday of the beer garden has failed to bring fortli a Holmes or a lloeeher. It hu envolved a Johann Most an,I nn August Spies, but somehow that sort of a product doesn't seem to bo quito up to the old Puritan mark. If It is up to the mark of to-day, then Heaven save the mark. When you run up the bunting to-morrow, remember that it was tho steady-going old Puritan Sabbath that hatched the Fourth of July. "Tlie day we celebrate," dearly beloved, wasn't born In a Chicago beer dive on a bunday afternoon; not by a jug full. When during the heated term one who has been exposed to the sun's heated rays begins to suffer from headache, giddiness, nausea and disturbance of sight, accompanied with sudden and great prostration of tho physical forces, sun- -stroke is probably imminent.

We uro very much afraid the " monumental" has reached that dizzy northern outpost of civilization. Tho honor of Britisli Columbia is now at stake and the peo- }ile of the whole provinco will unxioUB- y await the discovery, by the Kamloops Smliircl, of a 40 lb. potato to offset this terrible blow. That Highwayman. The Victoria Times haa lately got into the very bad habit of appropriating items from the Columbian and giving no credit for them. It has not only done this but on one occasion deliberately ascribed the item to another source. Tbe othor day we published a worn out highwayman story whioh really did occur soveral years ago. The Times did not happen to seo tho trap but grabbed the bait and swallowed it whole, giving its readers tho story as au article of its own production. The same issue contained a number of other important items clipped from the Columbian, and as in the robbery case no credit was riven. The Times turns out to bo the robber and in this instance was properly caught and unmasked. Credit should be given where credit is due brother rimes, aud it would bo well to remember "honesty is the best polioy." Tho Colonist "cribs" from our columns with just as much dishonesty and unfairness ns tho Times, and it, too, gobbled the highwayman story and gave the yarn to the publio as one of ita own legitimate production!. Aa Old Fashioned Duck Sboot. A poor weary typo of thia city, who had handled the "stick" day after day since July 1st. without a rest, deter- having an old fashioned down east mined to celebrate Thanksgiving day by duck shoot. The typo has a beguiling sort of a way about him, and, disliking solitude, induced another enthusiastic (whose namo we suppress out of re- Bpe'ct to his family) but unlucky sportsman, to accompany him. Shoulder- ingtheir beautiful (jueon|Annon)uakets, and providing themselves with gaino bags enough to hold a cart load of ducks, they set off. for the railway station intending to tako the train to the junction and walk from there to Pitt Meadows. Uirfortuuatly, "the devil," who had been sent. ahead to warn the officials of tho intended excursion, had loitered on the way and ihe train had left when they reached the station. Ai it was not convenient for the company to furnish a special train at the moment, our enthusiastic sportsmen declined to wait a quarter of an hour till arrangements were made and decided to mirke tlio journey ou foot. They walked tho whole distance, waded and llrruudererl round tho Meadows all the afternoon, not wet through, nearly frozen, lost -their dinner nnd then walked home—without a duck. About 7 o'clock last evening two delapidated looking individuals might have been seen trying ro get up town unobserved, they did nut speak to ench othor and it wns evident from their idoomy glances thut tho kindly feeling towards each oilier, so observable in the morning, had passed awny.

The Drill Shed was fairly packed with people in the evening to hear the concert, and their atteudnncQ was rewarded with a good programme excellently carried out- Miss Tiffany, Miss Mathers aud Mr. Rickman all sang very nicely and were rewarded with encores.

Mr. Calbick, on behalf of himself nud wife, returned thanks in appropriate terms. A most, pleasant little social was held in the Presbyterian church last evening which passed off in a very happy manner.

There were not many of them at home, ai some of them had waited for nearly three weeks, expecting the commission, but had loft loug before it come. They had two days of it and, I suppose, they told nearly all they had to say. They were not pleased with the parting speech of one of tho commissioners. One of the leading' men from here hns just returned from his summer's work in Alaska. He had made a trip to Sitka, whero he met the governor, who gave him a letter saying that if the p.mp-e here move into Alaska they will be allowed to take 160 acres of land each, and will have the privileges of the free school, and all the privileges of American citizenship.

C, Nov. 18.—Ah Chow was executed here this morning in the jail yard, at 8:10, for tho murder of Ah Sue, on March 14th last, Only a fow spectators were admitted. The prisoner cried piteously whilo preparations were being made. It was feared he would break down and have to be carried on to the scaffold, but he rallied at the last, asked fur tobacco and a paper, rolled himself a cigarette lit it, and looking nt the clock, smoked until the time wus up, when he threw it away and said he wob ready. He then shook hands with and bade all present good-bye and made a brave attempt to ascend the scaffold. The procession left the jail at exactly 8 o'clook in the following ordor, hangman dis- tmised, Rev. H. Edwards, of tho Church of England, prisoner supported by Constables Hussey and Armstrong, Sheriff Phnir and Deputy Sheriff McKay and spectators. When the scaffold was reached and the prisoner placed on the trap, he looked down at it, his eyes closed und his head, fell on his breast, and-showed no further consciousness of what was being done. Ho had to be held up by the constables while the noose and black cap were being placed over his head. -While Bev. H. Edwards quid a prayer, the sheriff gave the signal, the drop fell, and the body swayed to and fro without the least sign* of a struggle. The neck was dislocated. ' He was pronounced dead nine minutes after Uie fall. Tho coroner's clerk held an inquest on the body. Great credit is due fo Sheriff Phair and Constables Hussey and Armstrong for having everthing worked in such an excellent manner. The body was buried in the publio cemetry. C. C. Jacobs, Buffalo, N.
