I till I, , I IL Anclent Wine. During the past few months we havo published a number of articles discussing tbo character of Jewish wines from various points of view. Tho question is one of great interest, and should be met honestly and without prejmHt* 80 -fir at we know it ia not one of sect or party at all. In ihe New YorlclFftnen of 29th Ma; we find an article on this subject which brings out some new points, and is worthy of perusal. It says: "In considering this important subjeot, six things are to be kept in mind: 1. That throughout the Old Testament there runs a series ot passages wherein wine is spoken of. as a blessing, and another series, wherein it is spoken of as a curse; and that different names in Hebrew are usually given to the two kinds, one being believed to be fermented and the other boiled. 2. That tbe ancients know nothing about alcohol, which was only discovered by distillation centuries after the Old and New Testaments were completed. The various preparations of the fruit of the vine therefor, could only be distinguished by their different appearance or the different effect, they produced. 3. The different names given to distinguish these different preparations in the Hebrew of the Old Testament are merged into one general name in the New. So thut the distinction, so far us name is concerned, between the kind preserved by boiling and tbe kind by fermentation is lost. One exception to this rule is found in the case'of the preparation used at the Lord's Supper, which gets a different and distinctive name; as if to make sure tbat the mistake would not be made ot supposing that Jesus used the fermented wine, whioh is elsewhere called a mocker, and likened to a serpent. 4- The two ways of preparing the juice of the grape to keep for com mon use are praetised now in Syria, as they were in the Old Testament times, and they are called by different names now aa then. It iB not supposable that there was an interregnum in this twofold use ot grape- juice, at the time the New Testament was written in Greek, during whieh only fermented wine was made. Various adjectives were used to designate the different kinds of wine by Greek and Roman writers, all of whioh, including syrups and even cakes (like cakes made of maple sap) were called wine. Such preparations cannot have been intoxicating, though c.tiled wine in classical writings. 5. To assume that wherever win. is' mentioned in the Greek New Testament, and in our translation of both Testaments, it must have been fermented, and consequently intoxicating, is gratuitous. On the contrary, every line of evidence leads to the conclusion that the two different kinds are often included nnder the same nam. in the New Testament, though for the most part distinguished by different names in the Hebrew of the Old Testament, 6, The fruit of the vine was, and is in Palestine and Syria generally, a most important element of th. food *f the people. It was and is used most freely in the natural state at the time of gathering the crop, and as long after as it will keep. It was, and is, in the inspissated or boiled preparation, in common use all th. year round. This was doubtless the main use of it in Old Testament times, as it is at present, and it is not to be supposed that there was any material difference in the habits of the people during the time embraced in tha New Testament nap rative. The boiled or inspissated pr.prr.tion was and is used tor sweetening, as we use sugar and molasses; and it was and ia also tued freely as a beverage by mingling water with it, as we do with various syrups. It was thus an important element in the food ot the people, and so continues to be; only a small portion of the grape erop is tormented now in Syria compared with what It boiled In the Church of Home tbe practice of watering wino for the celebration of the Supper has descended from the first institntion of the ordinance; although in process of time, fermented wine, whieh needs no watering, and gets none usually, hu been substituted for the boiled grape-juice, which doe. need it. These things being so, it is easy to understand the account of the marriage at Oana in a sense no way derogatory to our Lord's wisdom and love. The wine at that marriage (syrup of grape-juice) had been prepared as a beverage in the way common alike among Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, by mingling it with water, when used for drinking, a prooeM whioh take, many ancient wine, ont of th. lilt, for what modern -[■•■-"--"--■"- Columbian. VOLUME 26 NEW WESTMINSTER, R 0„ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1884. NUMBER 46 wine is mingled with equal parts ot water,or sometimes withtwieaor three times as much water as wine, before being used) At .the marriage slipper doubtless good wine or the syrup of grape-juice not too muoh diluted with water, was provided, and when more was needed the Lord caused water to be poured Into the water- pots again, and though ther. was no wine (syrup) put into the pots to mix with the water, th.ro cm. out richer, better (less diluted, win. than before. Instead of th. company being partially intoxicated, aa tlw irrl- tabl. defenders of intoxicating wines would have us believe, they had merely had a good supply, and now they got a second supply of .batter quality than Ui. first To Ml that th. Lord provided tf firkina-of more iotoxfoating -J a company which wa. already pritty well intoxicated, is so absurd that it is astonishing anyone could for a moment deem that understanding the right one. The term "well drunk, in this narrative, as the same word rendered "drunken" ih the case of the Corinthian Christians who made the Lord's Supper a meal, has evidently no reference to intoxication, but to being full, or satisfied already. These statements, which much investigation into tliis question convinces -is are substantially, correct, will be found to explain those texts which have been supposed to describe and warrant the use of intoxicating wine, nnd by analogy of other intoxicating drinks. And by this understanding, what a mass of interpretations favorable to the use of alcoholic liquors is swept away I" A Discover)' In Surgery. After the oxooution of Lloyd L. Majors, on Friday last, a post mortem examination of the body wat held by Dr. E. H. Wooltoy, of Oakland, in the pretence of several other physicians. This examination gave an unusual opportunity to observe tho initial stage of repair after the fracture ot the bone. Just ono wook before Majors wat hung, in his attempt to oscapc, he received a fraoture at the middle of the right ulna, ono of the bones of the right forearm. Thit wat a simple, commiuuted fraoture j that it, the tkin was unbrok en, but the bone wat broken in several pieces. A compound fraoture com munlcates with tbe air by means of a wound. The fracture of Majors' arm was carefully dratted with a splint. At the pott mortem examination th. fraoture wat examined and tho .entire ulna wat removed. There waa no bony union, nor any union whatever at the bony surfaces, bat the callout material, whioh unites the broken fragments permanently after fraoture, had juat Itegun to be aeoreted. There wss just a little tenacious material perceptible on the surfaces. That the beginning of the secretion of callout material at the end of the first week is noticeable, hat been accepted aa the rule by turgeons, but in practice it hss been found that thit callous material hat not been sufficiently abundant and condensed to yield tigns of repair until about the tenth or twelfth day after injury—lhat is to say, ths so-called knitting of the bo:., '.~m not occur until about that time. An opportunity waa offered in this case of studying the earliest pro- oestet of repair in fraoture, tuch at hat very seldom before boen afforded ft) turgeons. It is understood that the books contain no parallel case, Whenever an opportunity has been given to observe repair of fraoture, it hat been in subjects who have died from injury or disease, and not in one who waa in other respects perfectly healthy, and having, at thit one did, all the forest in active operation. To the surprise of Dr. Wooltoy, it waa found that temporary union of the broken bone had already taken place, not by callous material, but by means of the organization of the blood which had been poured out about the fracture at the time of the injury. Thia organised blood embraced the bone at the point of fraoturo, and for about two inches above and below. Tho fraoture showed that originally it had been oblique and that, by a continuation of tho force vf the blow that caused the fraoture, the lower projection or point of the upper part of the bono waa broken off. This little fragment projected a little from1 ita place, -but it and the two main por-' tiona of tho bone were held together by the grasp of this organised blood so firmly as uot to give away in the least upon the disarticulation and entire removal of tho bone from the arm. This provisional clasp, as it may bo called, waa elastic, and the bone wat grasped at one end and shaken it would yield and give away at the point of fracture; but it waa sufficiently strong to prevent any drooping of the distal fragment at tho othor end when the bone wu held, still. From this examination thia muoh was learned that wu not known before; or, at all oventa, it wu nol sufficiently known to be recognised and laid down aa a principle, vis: that the early and perfect adjustment and perfect maintenance in position of fractured bone, it necessary to perfect repair. The prevention of irritation of tissue, and of consequent pain and constitutional diaturbance and the liko have bean the tpeoial reasons for th. early proper adjustment of fractures, but all that hu been deemed absolutely necessary to tenure perfect repair of the bone iti.lt hu been a perfect adjustment of fractured bones fiior to the eighth or tenth day after injury, and maintenance af- tetwards in place. But thia case furnishes signincent proof of the great value of the perfect adjustment of a fracture before the coagulation of the Mood at the seat of the injury hu had time to occur. Dr. Wooltoy remarked to the reporter who questioned him about this examination that never before, in all hia practice, bad a similar opportunity been offered to examine a fracture in the first ataauof repair, and alto, that h. deemed the disclosures ct great scientific value.—S.

Ma". Great Men's Views. The tor-centenary of the Univer- aity of Edinburgh was recently held. Speaking of it an exchange aays: "The occasion was made remarkable by the presence of 'men of renown' —men of more than European reputation. Among these were Lavel- eye, Helmholtz, and Virchow, the great German scientist The audience that thronged to hear Virchow was immense, a thousand students being present Helmholtz had uttered a word of warning against what he called 'False Rationalism' insolence; Laveleye reminded hia atudenta that their first duty was to seek the kingdom of God, but Vir ehow surprised, astonished and produced a perfect furor of excitement when he proclaimed with emphasis that 'Evolution had no scientific basis.' The Darwinian theory, he aaid, might be true, but what he demanded was proof, not hypothesis. Such testimony from the greatest anatomist, the greatest master of natural science now living, it was felt wu a real triumph for religion. Dr. Edmund de Fresense, writing- from Paris, declares that Virchow's speech will have a great effect on the continent of Europe." The Ferry. The reeve of Surrey does not admit that his municipality is wholly to blame for the slow progress in the ferry business. He declares, however, that Surrey will not content to any ferry agreement unless certain conditions which do not now exist are imposed upon the ferryman. One of these is that the ferry people are to handle freight coming across; another is that trips must be made oftener tban one* in two hours. Now, it seems to us very late in the day for Surrey to appear with these objections, and it is quite possible they may prove fatal to the scheme, if insisted upon. We should be exceedingly glad to find some person willing to run the ferry e^ery hour, to handle all the freight, and to carry nt leas rates than those mentioned in the schedule. But in matters of that kind one must just make the best bargain possible under the circumstances. It seemed very doubtful last year whether any person would take the ferry charter at nil, and it is quite possible no person would have taken it if encumbered with conditions sueh as are now proposed. We hope the people of Surrey will at once formulate their demands, and let us complete or kill the ferry without delay. A Protest. In its edition of Sunday the Colonist gives special prominence to tbe following protest: "The failure of the Dominion government to commence work on the dry-dock and open the publio lands to settlement, in accordance with the provisions of the settlement bill, excites surprise and indignation everywhere. It is scarcely necessary to point out that the Dominion Government are violating a solemn treaty which was ratified by the British Columbia and Dominion parliaments. Sbould they continue thus to disregard their obligations, the popular sense of their treachery will soon make itself heard and felt at Ottawa. The province is suffering severely from the laches of the Dominion in respect of the two interests we have named, and Is not in a mood for further trifling. Immigrants are leaving the province daily because they can get no satisfaction about the mainland railway lands and because the drydock ia not being pushed as was promised." It is timo a unanimous protest went to Ottawa against the polioy of inaction. Not only should the press of British Columbia let its voice be heard, but our representatives in the commons and senate should also urge the im|>ortance of having the railway landa opened to settlement without delay. The School "Scandal." This ia the dignity to which the person who writes to the GuardiatX tuts elevated the Port Moody school question. We say the "person who writes," for although these articles have appeared as editorial they are written by a person who does not reside in tbe city. That circumstance, however, does not affect the (one ot whatever argument they nay contain. It leaves the question, nevertbeltM, in thia unfortunate con dition, that the assertions contained in these articles require proof before they can curry any weight. And they are full of assertions, without a shadow of proof. In referring to the Port Moody school business a short time ago, we did not consider the facts aud circumstances called for a serious reply to the article which appeared in the organ. It was altogether a new revelation to us, because it put forward statements some of which were very strange and others we knew to be utterly without foundation. The very question upon which the contributor to the organ founded his observations was misquoted nnd distorted in a manner worthy tbe genius of a cant ab. This person first manufactures a man of straw, and then proceeds to demolish his own creation. We have already pointed out that Tub Columbian nevor claimed for the government any special credit for tho establishment of a school at Fort Moody. But the organ had been claiming all along that the government was deadly hostile to Port Moody; and wnen the school wns granted we merely pointed out that this action of the government did not support that view. Now, the facts are these, and we submit them for Cantab's serious consideration: There never was any application for a publio school at Port Moody until a few months ago, and no intimation, so far as we know, had been given that a school was wanted. Mrs, Heslop, a resident of Port Moody, had for about a year been teaching a private school, and it was generally supposed the people did not wish that arrangement disturbed. But last spring the people of Port Moody came to the conclusion that they ought to hnve a public school. On the occasion of the provincial secretary's visit to that place a few months ago a public meeting was called and the matter discussed. A report of that meeting shows the steps taken to secure the school, and tbey are just such steps as were indicated in these columns. The provincial secretary promised that if an application was sent to the government he would use his influence to obtain for it n favorable consideration. In the words of the report, "He expressed his regret that the proper petition had not been sent in before the estimates for the year had been framed. Had that been done, the amount required for the erection of a school house and the salary of a competent teacher would have been plnced in tbe vote for educational purposes." Our readers will probably agree that the provincial secretary, who is also minister of education, knows better what steps are proper and usual in asking the establishment of a public school than tho annonymous 'writer in the organ. At the Port Moody meeting a petition was read by Mr. Meek, asking for the creation of a school district and the establishment of a school. This petition received the signatures of the ratepayers, was forwarded to the government, and the prayer of it was granted. We repeat that this is the usual practice. It is not customary for the government to create school districts or establish schools where there has been no request for a school. In the case of Port Moody the petition was not sent forward until after the estimates had been passed. If the government had been hostile to Port Moody, as the Guardian and its annonymous contributor seem so anxious to make out, it could very consistently have refused the request for a school on the ground that there was no appropriation for that purpose. But the government went out of its way to meet the wishes of Port Moody, and a school has been established iu advance of the appropriation. The Columbian claims that this is not an aot of hostility to the people of Port Moody; and we think the public, and especially the people of Fort Moody will admit this beyond dispute.

Thtee families leave" this morning for the same destination. On Monday 28 immigrants registered at the office beforo On. m. There are four families in the immigrant shed awaiting the return of tbe husbands and fathers who are looking for suitable locations. During the past 5 months 125 foreigners have taken the oath of allegiance here. Several of those lately arrived have purchased property in tho city and are preparing to erect houses thereon. On Monday another family arrived from Manitoba, driven out by the severity of the winters. School Report.—According to announcement an influential meeting of ratepayers took place last Monday to receive the annual report of the publio school trustees. Mr. Wm. Johnston occupied the chair, and at his invitation Mr. T. J, Trapp, secretary of the board, nad the following report for the year ending June SOth, 1884: "The board beg most respectfully to nport that the different branches of the public schools are in a flourishing condition. The number of ohildnn on the registor is 304, and tho average attendance 129. The government grant for incidental expenses has been expended in the usual way, for sweeping, cleaning, coal, wood, etc. The government have completed the new school building, and the whole of the classes aro being taught therein, The board have muoh pleasure in reporting that tho government have at length made an appropriation for a high sohool iu this city, and that arrangements have been made for repairing part of tho old school building for the high sohool, whioh will be ready for occupation on the 1st of August. In reviewing the past year the ooard have much causo to congratulate the publio gei. • ally on the position of educational -Lairs in this city; and in retiring from office they have to thank not only tho publio, but the government also, for the very liberal support they have received in their efforts to make the public schools what they are to-day; and they trust that the same consideration may be extended to their successors to enable them to carry' out their cherished hope of making* the publio schools of New Westminstor second to none in the province." After a brief discussion, on motion of Mr, O. O, Major, seconded by Mr, D. Robson, tho nport was adopted, and the meet* ing adjourned. Anglican Indian Mission. [Reported for the Columbian.] On the 28th ult. His Lordship the Bishop of New Westminster, accompanied by Mrs. Sillitoe, Miss Woods, Archdeacon Woods, Revs. Ditchem, Small and Wright, Messrs, Lowenberg, Mony and Cantell, left for Lytton to attend a large gathering of Indians in Yale District, to hold divine services and arrange for missionary labors and review that whioh had already, been done during the put year. On arriving at Lytton, horses wen in readiness to take tho party from there to tha site of the Indian eamp, situated about 15 miles above Lytton on the old "Hat Creek Trail," leaving the wagon nad at the confluence of the Thompson and Eraser rivers. The camp was at a point called,iu the Thompson language, Pretannie, and signifies "TheGreat or Grand Place," and is the resort of nearly all the Indians in the neighborhood, it being a central point for the Indians belonging to Lytton and below, also those of Lillooet, Cook's Fer ry, Bonaparte and Ashcroft, and elsewhere: an abundant supply of food for horses and cattle Is obtainable. A ma* terial addition to the cuisine is found hen in the shape of Camasa (Camas- sia Eaoulanta) and other bulbs and tubers. Tne lakes and streams afford a generous supply of trout. Dusky or blue grouse, ruffled grouse and deer an fairly plentiful, and a picnic or outing on a large scale Is annually held. His Lordship had been specially invited to attend on this occssion, which would thus afford an opportunity of his meeting with the greater part of the Indians at one point, thus avoiding the expense and trouble of visiting each camp separately, and enable the Indians to confer with him and go into council respecting church, school and other matters nlating to the body politic. The meeting waa of a very hap* 8y character. A large amount of huroh work was undertaken and settled, and the Rev. Mr. Small, the incumbent lo be stationed at Lytton, was inducted. Divine service was held daily in the open air. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered, and a number of childnn received the rite of baptism. Over 900 Indians were in attendance ; the utmost harmony prevailed ; good order and a due attention to their religious duties were observed on all points; and, to an ob* server, religious services conducted un* der suoh circumstances and with such surroundings wen coupled with a singular charm and significance. The camp ground chosen was singularly handsome and picturesque; a gentle sloping mountain on the one hand, tor* raced and sloped at intervals, and the slopes and plains covend with verdure and the most beautiful and luxuriant flowers. The place seemed covered with a carpet of richness, requiring to be seon to be fully appreciated. The flowers noticed wen : Violet, Dogwood, For - get • me - nut, Columbine, Larkspur, with here and then a clump of cottonwoods or pines; Honeysuckle, Friteltaria, Meateagirs, Ranunculus, Wild Sunflower, Golden Daisy, Lady's-slipper, Strawberry, Service- berry, Seringa, Cruoiferrae, Lychmis (Red and Yellow), Heather, Pansy, and many others not identified. At the foot of the valley ran a purling stream of ice-cold water, the banks fringed with cottonwood and alder on tho opposite side of the valley, the mountain slopes covend with balsam- fir nnd other coniferous trees presented a scene very handsome indeed. Overlooking the Indian camp on an eminence was arranged the Bishop's bell tent, used as a reception room, flanked on either side by the tents of eaoh party; floating over the whole waa the British Ensign, the Australian aud the Hessian flagsj while over the Indian encampment were various Church flags, and at the chiefs' own tents, ait* uated at a short distance from the main encampment, the Dominion flag proudly fluttered in the breeze. Thousands of horses of all sorts, ages, sizes and colors dotted the hill-side, and the camp itself was bustle and activity— with bands of horses coming and going, Indians arriving and departing, breaking wild horses, etc., etc., formed a scene never to be forgotten and very pleasing to behold. After remaining in camp for 5 days the party broke up, returning to their respective homes, with tho exception of the Bishop and Mrs. Sillitoe, who have gone on an extended trip to Kamloops and Okanagan. His Lordship was provided with a camera, and took some interesting groups, as well u the camps of whites and Indians. The camp ground at Pretannie lake is 2,050 feet above Lytton, being about 3,550 feet above' the sea level, and no mosquitoes, und flies or troublesome insects ara thero. t The secular portion, suoh as arranging for transportation, commissary, etc,, was under the direction of Mr. J. C, Hughes, of this city. Bridge Rirer Mines. Correspondence of the Standard. What little news then is from the Bridge River mines is that there was not muoh work done on account of frost in the ground and the river rising on the south branch. The Indians ap* pear to have the best ground bench digging; they took out quite a dab of gold. Most of the miners left the south branch and have gotten a new creek—Tyaughton Oreek. It is about 50 miles from Lillooet, There ara about 20 men on the new creek. They all camo down and recorded thoir claims, took back more provisions; and they think they have diggings that will pay from 94 to 97 a day, fine gold. Tho oreek has been prospected for six miles and the stream ean be easily turned. Miners an busy whip-sawing lumber for sluices during the high water. There an about 26 or 30 whito miners and about the same number of Indians in the mines—and the miners oan advise their friends, Then has been a large quantity of gold taken out this spring around Lillooet, mnn than thero has oeen fer yean, A Government party hu gone out to fix the trail to the mines. Weather, very warm aud dry; some of the ranches suffering for water, Beans, none; bacon, scarce; flour,we may have enough to last until new wheal comes in. At last the Lillooet saw milt will start up this week. We may expect some news in a few weeks as to what the mines will come to. As yet thero ore no Chinese gone into the mines. The Indiana will not Eaokfor them or there would hare een lots go, I will send you tho news after high water. There Is every show of good diggings, as each party have good prospects, The miners are all satisfied. From Chilliwhack. Prom Our Special Correspondent. Chilli whack, May SO.—Your corns* pondent has now spent the greater part of two weeks "cruising" through this district which he finds to be by far the largest, richest, and every way the moat Important agricultural section of country so far visited since ho set out on his circuit. Tho district of Chilliwhack takes In the north or upper half of the great Chilliwhack-Sumas valley, is about 15 miles long by 8 miles broad, and comprises an area ot at least 120 square miles. The Fraser enters the valley In the softth-eest corner and In a great curve, sweeps around the head, ami along the north side of the valley, close to ths mountains, receiving, as it rounds the north-east corner, the beautiful, clear, blue water of the Harrison. The surface of tho valley Is nearly level and flat, with a slight fall towards the Fraser. It has few er no marshes or sags, but is interspersed hers aud there with an occasional low fiat ridge, generally well timbered or covered with thick brush, except where under tillage, Travelling through the valley, the eye is never sensible of any inequalities of surface, save when It catches sight of the "Little" mountain, whioh ia situated in about the centra of the distriot, and Chilliwhack mountain, which rises on tbe south bank of the Fraser, In ths west angle formed by the confluence of the Luckakuckand that river. The former is little else than a high elongated ridge, but the latter rises to the dignity of a hill. Both—especially "Little" mountain—are heavily timbered. Contemplation of these elevations suggests the Idea that Nature providentially placed them where they are for a certain and very obvious purpose. TBS PREVAILING SOIL of the district is a rich clay loam, with a deep compact clay bottom. It is admirably adapted for the growth of wheat, barley, and hay, and all kinds of vegetables. Barring the "Big" prairie, the district Is everywhere thoroughly drained by the numerous small rivers and sloughs which intersect thia end of the valley. Along the foot-hills, on the south side of the valley, extending near* ly north and south, lies the "Big" prairie of Chilliwhack. It is about 10 miles long by from 1 to 3 milea broad, covered with a most luxuriant growth of wild grass, called "blue joint," and "narrow blade." It Is almost perfectly level and flat, with here and there a patch of willows or rushes, and its entire surface may be said to be covered with water, varying in depth from 2 or 3 inches to a foot. It has however a slight fall, and could be easily drained, and thus rendered very valuable, for stock-raising and dairying purposes. The surface soil of the whole prairie, as well as that of the bush land immediately abutting on it, Ib a stratum of peat moss, varying from 1 to 3 feet in depth. The subsoil is a solid compact layer of clay of great depth. It will thus be seen that tliis large and valuable stretch of land, whioh in its present condition seems little better than a peat moss bog, could, by proper drainage, be reclaimed, and rendered very fertile. For so soon as the water is drained off, the moss will dry, harden, and sag, and finally become disintegrated and converted into a sort of blaok muck loam. The north west corner of the district— the arc formed by the bend of the river and the Hope slough—iB intersected by several sloughs from the Frasor, and cut up into a number of small islands. The soil of this section of the district is lighter and more of a sandy loam, with frequently a gravelly bottom. Yet the land on these islands ia extremely fertile, except along the banks of the sloughs where the soil in a great many cases consists of nothing but pure sand. The settlements OS THE ISLANDS during times of high water, are to a certain extent cut off, and isolated from tho rest of the community; otherwise the district is composed of one thickly inhabited and compact settlement, having all tiie appearance of a comparatively old and settled country. Nearly all the public land in the district is now pre-empted, by far the greater part of which has been taken up since this time last year, There ia soarcelv an unpn-empted lot left on the prairie; but were still remain unclaimed considerable stretches of bush land In several localities—probably an ggregate of about eight sections in all. _ lut tne rush and craze after land continues unabated, so that, in a very few months, there won't be a lot left unclaimed in the district. A large percentage of the pre-emption claims taken np here aro not by bona fide settlers, but by "speculators and land grabbers"—perhaps better desoribed land gluttons—some of whom, "with reverence be it spoken," are old residents of the valley. A large proportion of the public land in this settlement is thus-to put it mildly irregularly and illegally appropriated and "corralled" and afterwards sold at big prices as squatters'claims to the immigrant and bona fide settler. This practice, which by some unscrupulous Individuals ia made a regular business, your correspondent found more or less prevalent in every settlement he has visited. In some instances, however, the land is not "corralled" for speculative purposes, but ia appropriated and added to the family estate under the name of pre-emption claims for the minor and prospective male members of the family, and, in this provision, even the baby, if It happen to be of the required gender, is not forgotten; and some fathers have suoh a deglutition for land, that if tho operation Were quietly practicable, .they would unsox their little girls In order to still farther enable them to take advantage of the pre-emption act, and extend their domain. The IHMIURATION DEPARTMENT however, is after these fellows like a hot brick, and they will all be made to dis* gorge, A capable and energetic local immigration agent—Mr, H. Kipp—has bean appointed for the municipality, and he seems very ambitious to do his work faithfully and well. About 40 new comers have located here within the past year, all of whom have taken up preemption claims, and gone to work as bona fide settlers. They were all Immigrants, and, with ono or two exceptions, all from Canada. Thia end of the valley being considerably higher than the Sumas end, tho freshets of the Fraser can hardly be said to affect it at all. Hence mixed farming Is engaged in hero, and prosecuted very successfully, and in some instances conducted on a very Large scale, Every kind of crop usually raised on a, mixed farm Is produced with more tban ordinary success, and, both In quality and average yield, the product of the soil of this valley la second to that of no other agricultural section of the province. Last year's crop, on account of the drouth, fell below the usual average yield, as waa generally the cose throughout tho country. This year, should the season continue bo favorablo as it has done so far, and taking Into account the operations of new comers, there will be a VERY LAROE INCREASE over the average yield of any former year. The armors say they have nevor crops look bettor, and more promising in this settlement. Previous to the welcome rain of last weok, it was fetred the excessively hot, dry weather, it prolonged, would have a disastrous ellcet on the crop similar to that of last year, but the copious rainfall of last Saturday dispelled that apprehension, aud farmers say tho year's crop Is now assured. Nothing else here has attracted the attention of your correspondent bo much aa the large, healthy and magnificently yielding, orchards he sees on every hand. And still there is scarcely any care or attention given to the cultivation of these orchards. From the time the trees are planted, until they mature, tiie only attention they may be said to receive, is to be stripped of their load. Immense quantities of fruit of almost every kind, and of the best quality are grown every year, qf which New Westminster, Victoria and Yale get each a share, but by far the J;reatur part of which ia preserved for 1011111 use. Your correspondent has boon luxuriating for tho past week on the most luscious cherries and strawberries. Both stock raising and dairying receive considerable attention in tbis end of tho valley also, but of course not nearly on the same extensive scale as in tlie other end. Here the chief and ATAW.K INDtrSTRV IH AGRICULTURE, yet muoh care and attention ia bestowed on the breeding and raising of blood stook, and thero is scarcely an old settlor or prominent farmer In the settlement, who cannot boast of being tho possessor of one or more thorough-brads of some kind or other. Homer- ..o fowls of evory kind are fairly plentiful, and tho irrepressible hog ia ever present, though not nearly so muoh in one's way as In the other end of the valley. Cows, horses. and team oxen aro scarce, and command a very high figure—-higher than over known heretofore in the valley. Thoro is one settler here engaged almost exclusively but on a limited scale, in sheen- farming. His ranch is en Fairfield Island, and he ays he makes it a success. Mr. A. C. Walts, one of the oldest and most prominent residents of the valley and certainly one of the largest and most successful fanners in the province, is running a cheeso-faotory on his premises. Tho factory, which has been in operation now for over, a year, and which turns out about 250 lbs. a day, is equipped with all the most modern and improved machinery and appointments of a first-class factory; and it. Ib unnecessary to add, conducted by its proprietor with hia usual and well-known energy and success, Mr, Robt, Stevenson, another prominent, large, and successful, farmer, a little farther down tho valley, ia running a grist and shingle mill combined ou his premises. At the head of tho valley (Popcum) the Knight Bros, are running their saw and shingle mills-sto which thoy have recently added a lathe and wood-turning machinery and a tannery—to their full capacity. The VILLAGE OF CENTERVILLE the town yet to be, and that too befe/e long, is situated in about tlie centre of the settlement, about one milo from the steamboat Landing. It has 2 hotels, 2 stores, blacksmith and wagon shops, millinery and dressmaking establishment, a custom boot and shoe shop, council hall, grist mill, (at present idle) an English and Methodist church, school house, doctor's office, and quite a numbor of private dwellings. ^ At the steamboat landing is another villago, and at present perhaps aa important a ono as the ono described, and the two largo general stores and the very excellent hotel there compete successfully with Centerville for tlio trade of the settlement, Besides the one already mentioned, there are other two schools in the settlement and a very nice new R. C. Mission Chmch on the Indian reservation near the steamboat landing. There are also besides the one in the village two more blacksmiths, one at each end of tho settlement. There are about 125 inhabitants in the sottloment, all of whom own separate homes and ore happy, except, of courso, those of thom who are not so fortunate as to enjoy tliat greatest of all earthly blessings—the divine ministrations of angelic woman—without whioh uo man can be truly happy here below. Tlie majority, however, are married, and happy in the possession of wives aud families; hut—(your correspondent confesses toapaitgo. delicacy in being compelled, in the interests of truth, to mako this revelation)—a large number of the old settlers, though all well matured and developed, are still on tbe odiouB "list," and nearly all the new comers being single men, the poor unfortunate "bachelor tribe hi this Battlement musters, even in this land of celebacy, an unusually heavy roster. Yet it must not be supposed that those desolate, lonely, but gallant fellows embrace the forlorn, fruitless, celebate state from choice. Far from it. Not a man ot them— so they all aver—but would jump at the chance of freeing himself of the baccalaureate odium if the means to do so wero obtainable. Your correspondent can vouch for the truth of this; for he is in the confidence of these noble sufferers, and indeed authorized by them to cause the fact to be mado publicly known in the Columbian. No; this cheerless and miserable condition of life, is saddled upon them by the general DEARTH OF WOMEN, which, throughout all ita history, has been known to atllict this country. The suffering and despised "bachelors" of thia country, therefore, are so by necessity, and as auch, instead of being maligned and abused, as they very often arc, ought to be commiserated and sympathized with. Some bachelors in this settlement aro so far gone, anxiously waiting and expecting in vain some women to come along, that not a few of them now avow, that, unless thia summer's immigration wilt bring some mar* riageable females into the settlement, they will certainly "miscegenate" by next fall, as they are determined uot to "put in" another winter alone. True there are some exceedingly handsome young girls right here in this settlement, But what of that ? at least so far as the poor honest "ranching bachelor" is concerned. These precious young creatures, long ere they have left their short dresses, nre bespoke by the young native male bloods of the settlement. Besides the young ladies of Chilliwhack, as a general thing, are, if any thing, a little too romantic and hifalutlu in their notions of young mon and matrimony—so much ao, indeed, that for the average "bachelor" ever to entertain auy "matrimonial designs" In that direction, wonld be the height of imbecility. They look for dash, glitter and knightly qualities iu a young man, and unless he nave a chivalric turn and elcping tendencies, they put him down for what tho Indians call "coitus." Marriage in this settlement, without being signalized by elopement, would be considered a very tome, flat, and inBipid affair indeed. The laat event of that Kind here took place a little over a month ago, and waa of a highly romantic and thrilling character. Your correspondent haa certain information of another, and similar event, which has been undergoing an elaborate process of incubation for the past two or three "weeks with the view of completely outdoing aud eclipsing tho last in sensational interest. Look out for the denouement! Lost-fall a farmer's orange was organized here, being the first grauge ever formed in British Columbia. It is a branch of the Dominion Grange, and has already 40 members, Tho object is mutual improvement, protection against extortion in trade and the advancement of agricultural interests. Tho initiation foe is 82 for men and 50 cts. for women. Meetings are held monthly. The officers are: Win. Ford, D. O. M.i J. Patterson, Seo.; and there are several female members who lend tlio charm of tlieir presence and moral influence nt tho meetings. If properly conducted this grange, it is believed, will accomplish a great deal for tbo settlement. This settlement unites with Lower Sumas in oue municipality, aud the union is harmonious enough except iu the matter nf roads. Tho Snmasites accuse the Chilli- whackers of being too mindful of their own interests in tlm respett uud too oblivious of (hose of thoir neighbors; aud tbe latter having both thu majority und preponderating influence in the wttteun* gomot of the municipality, the former are naturally haunted by the-suspicion thnt their big ally duos not just do tho fair thing by them—especially in the matter of expending this year's government road grant. Vour correspondent baa no right to EXPRESS AN OPINION on this question ono way or another; but lie may bo permitted to say thut all tho roads in Chilliwhack are good, und ull the roads iu Sumas bud; and that when tlie improvements and repairs now being made to tliat section of tlie Yale trunk road whieh runs through the oldest and most developed part of Chilliwhack are finished, it will look more like a "boulevard" than a country rond. Tho people of this settlement think thoy have here the prettiest and healthiest spot in thia province, and they are determined to make it tho health, sporting and summer resort of the country. Hence the lavish outlay on the improvement ot the roads in order to afford pleasant drives, and attract visitors. It must be confessed that this end of this magnificent valley affords ell the attractions aud possesses almost every requisite of a salubrious, enjoyable and delightful summer retreat. The surrounding woods swarm with game, and the neighboring small mountain lakes, of which there are many, and tlie numerous rivers and creeks which intersect the valley literally teem with trout; so that for the sportsman, whether he be of rod or rifle, this is au El Dorado, The mountain acenery- well, your correspondent must confess tbat he approaches this subject with a feeling of bashful timidity and delicacy, So muoh has been made of the scenery of B. C. that it has come to be a by-word that tlie whole country Ib nothing else but one sea of mountains. Nevertheless, attention must be called to the magnificent MOUNTAIN SCENERY in thia neighborhood—but only attention —for a description of it cannot now be attempted. Save whore the Fraser enters its head, in the S, 10. and the Harrison in the N. K, corner, the valley ia encompassed on all sides but one—the south end—by an unbroken rampart of "rook- ribbed' mountains varying iu height from 2,000 to 4,000 feet. At the head of the valley, riBtng on a sheer perpendicular, its summit covered with perpetual snow, liko a shrouded colossus, stands the "patriarch" of the valley—Mount Cheam— .,200 feet. About half way down the valley, on the nortii Bide, on the aouth bank of the Fraser, between the river and Sumas Lake, rising sheer from the .water's odge on both aides, stands Sumas Mountain, 2,100 ft. This mountain tbe Indians regard with superstitious awe. According to tlieir tradition a terrific battle wob at one time fought on the top of tho mountain between two hostile tribes for the possession of a beautiful lake, "with one small lonely isle," which, singular to say, is situated on the very summit of the mountain, The lake covers an area of 30 acres, and has an island iu the middle of it of ahout 3 acres, with a huge cotton* wood tree in the centre. The chief of one of the opposing tribes, bo continues the tradition, with all his braves were slaughtered by their adversaries; but their spirits took to their canoes, and made for the Island, and there they "hold the fort" to this day. The Great Spirit in the meantime caused the big cotton- wood tree to grow, to provide them witli council and smoking accommodation. Society is organ-Ted and maintained in Chilliwhack on strictly moral and religious principles. Nearly all the old residents are persons of large circumstances, with sumptuous, and in a few instances elegant, homes, and refined and cultured familiea. NOT A DROP OF LIQUOR of any kind is permitted to be sold in the valley from one end to the other; nor baa thoro been for yeara, nor will there be ao long aa the present generation "hold the iort." In B, C. and in thia, one of its largest and most populous rural districts, this happy state of affairs is certainly very remarkable; to your correspondent altogether surprising and unexpected. The people here are all, heart and soul, dead level against ever permitting any whisky or intoxicants of any kind to be introduced among them, ana the anxiety and eagerness with whioh they apparently wish this to bo publicly and widely known, has been frequently cause of amusement to your correspondent. Aa an instance of this, he waa ence honored by being waited upon by a sort of committee with the request that he would cause the sentiment of the people of the Chiillwhack-Sumaa va'ley, on what they termed the "infernal liquor «courgo,"to be published in the most coispicuous corner of the Columbian. He received the committee with hia usual urbani.y and grace, but certainly and very properly refused the request, unless the same were paid for as a "special" among the "locals," and this waa no sooner said than done. Your correspondent will now make his conge to the kind and hospitable people of this delightful valley—where neat the heart and lunga of thia provinco—and for their many kindnesses and hospitalities to himself personally, as well as their generous and hearty support and patronage of the paper he has the honor to represent, he begs to return them one aud all his sincere and grateful thanks, and hoping the Spirit of Peace may ever hover over and around their happy arcadian homes, ho will now introduce their request, and then travel mountain-wards.

NEWS FROM AU PARTS OF THE WORLD. Winnipeg, May 30.— In the legislature to-day Mr. Norquuy made a statement of the government policy in regard to the Dominion government's proposals. Ho lead a long document giving a reply to each clause in tho Ottawa government's dispatch, and entirely rejecting thu terms offered in thu latter un the conditions pro- pi ised. This wns adopted by the legislature nnd a committeo appointed to put a reply in shapo for trnnsTnission to Ottnwa. Mr. Nor- quay's b--M stand has again placed him in harmony with public opinion here, though ho was rather lute lu taking it. The legislature to-day voted down a motion of Mr. Martin, of Portage la Prairie, to recall Attorney-General Miller from Iub mission to EiiL'luiid on the* ground that the Dominion government had refused the province tlie public lands, and nothing could bu gained by his attendance there. Ciuuaqo, Juno C— The morning of tho fourth dny of the Republican National Convention opened cloudy and threatening. The convention was called to order at 11:20 a. m. The Arthur men, it is said, decided to try and force nn adjournment after a few ballots. An earnest consultation was going en among the New York delegates. One hour and a half before tho time of the convention to assemble vnst crowds of people were at the entrances waiting fur tho doors to open. It seemed that there had been iio change frum laat night whon thousands demanded admission to the hall already overcrowded. Doorkeepers, policemen nnd sergeants-at-arms exorcised great patience, and there was little irritation. The rumor this morning in the uir is that the independents, alarmed at the strong Blaine demonstration last night, have determined to cast tbe vote of Massachusetts and Vermont on the second ballot fur Gen. Sherman, After prayer camo the oall of the roll of the states for the fint ballot, which resulted as follows: Arthur, 2S3; Blaine, 334|; Edmunds, 87; Logan, 55; Sherman, 43; Hawley, 13; Lincoln, 4, No choice. The convention then proceeded to the second ballot, which resulted in a little chpnge. Judge Foraker then moved that Blaine be nominated by acclamation. Boose- volt of New York demanded a call of the roll. There was great excitement, Port or Antwerp. It is stated, on tho authority of Mr. Edouard de Lavaleve, iu the Pall Mall Budget, that the city of Antwerp in Belgium is now the -chief seaport on the continent uf Europe, the tonnage of vessols entering it in 1683 having reached tho great extent of 3,724,428 tons, represented by 7,370 vessels, In 1883 the tonnage of Havre wob only 2,200,000, thut of Genoa 2,250,- 000, and of Bilbao 315,000, owing to its iron ore exports. London is still the first port in the world, with a tonnage of 10,421,000 tons and Liverpool the second, with 7,351,000 tons; Newcastle follows with 0,000,000 tons, also ia excess of Antwerp, but 'both Hull and Glasgow arc below, witli respectively 1,875,000 and 2,110,000 tons. The remarkable growth "of Antwerp is partly due to its position as the embarking point from the continent of Europe, and partly also to the recent additions and changes which have been carried out there, and which are now almost completed. This ia bo well known that vessels bound for Switzerland with a cargo of corn from Russia pass Marseilles and go 2000 miles out of thoir way for the purposo of unloading at Antwerp. No other port in fact offers the samo facilities. There is not another place in the world where fifty vessels of 3,000 tons can come alongside as easily as the penny boats on the Thames run into tho landing stages. Many important lines running from Bremen and Hamburg, the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and a great many English vessels, select this port to complete their cargo and take on their passengers. They embark for instance wire from Germany, glass window panes from Belgium, and other goods. Business Directory.

We have often heard of the wonderful line between thi. country and Teheran, the capital of Persia, a distanco of 3,800 milea, but we ecarcely recognized the fact that good signals were obtainable through ao great a length of wire until recently, when we availed ourselves of au invitation from Mr. W. Andrew., the managing director of the Indo-European Telegraph Company, to make a vint of inspection. It was between 7 and 8 Sunday evening, April 13th, when we reached the office. In the baeemant of an unpretentious building in old Broad atreet we had the Morse printer in connection with the main line from London to Teheran. The courteous clerk in charge of the wire, Mr. Blagrove, informed us that we were through to Erad.n, with the aame ease with which one "wires" from the city to the West End we asked a few questions of the telegraphist in the Gorman town. When we had finished with EmcJon, we spoko with tho same facility to the gentleman on duty at Odessa. Thi. did uot satisfy ui, and in a few minutes we were dear through to the Persian capital, Teheran. There were no messages about, the time was favorable, and the employee ofthe various countries seemed anxious to give us an opportunity of testing the capacity of thu wonderful line. ' T. H. N. (Teheran) said, "Oall Kur- rachee," and in less time than it takes to writo these words we gained the attention of tha Indian town. Tho signals were good, and our speed muat have equalled fifteen words a minute. The operator at Kurrachee, when he learnt that London was speaking to him, thought it would be a good opportunity to put us through to Agra, and to our astonishment the signals did-not fail, and we chatted pleasantly for a few minutes with Mr. Malcom Khan, the clerk on duty. To make this triumph of telegraphy complete, Agra switched us on to another line, and we soon were talking to a native telegraphist at the Indian Government Cable Station, Calcutta. At first the gentleman "at the other end of the wire" could not believe that he waa really in direct communication with the English capital, and he exclaimed in in Morse language, "Are you really London!" Truly this was a great achievement Metallic communication without a break from 18 Old Broad Street, London, to the telegraph office in Calcutta! Seven thousand miles of wire! The signals were excellent, and the speed attained was not less than twelve, perhaps fourteen, words per minute.—Telegraphist. _> . Talk to the Boys. The boys of America are being demoralized by the abominable printed stuff that is sold under the name of cheap literature. Dime novels and villainous story papers make heroes of such cut-throat scoundrels as Jesse James and Billy the Kid, and make highway robbery appear to be a very fascinating occupation. The love of adventure existing in the breast of the average boy is perverted and played upon by vicioua writers and rascally publishers, and the very qualities which, properly cultivated, would be the foundation of character, are all misdirected and made the incentives to evil. The purveyors of vile books cannot be denounced too severely for thus de* , praving the minds of children; but parents are guilty of contributory negligence in falling to counteract the influence of auch literature by common- sense talks to their children. Last week two boys ran away from Gloucester with their pockets stuffed fall of dime novels and their heads full of wild schemes of "making tnir own way," as they explained their notions. What these adventurous Youngsters need is some person to say to them: "Boys, the men who live long and have good times in this world are not tbe murderers, robbers, tramps and miscellaneous outcasts you read about in dime novels. Jesse James did not enjoy life a bit. He robbed trains to get money to buy liquor and get drunk with a lot of state-prison birds. When he was with his companions he was in mortal terror lest one of them might be an officer in disguise ready to shoot him •t the first opportunity. He did not dare to go among decent people and live like a white man. He was hunted from town to town, and had no peace on earth. Such men as he will always be miserable, and they ought to be so. If you try to live as he did, you will get yourself hanged, or somebody will shoot you in the back of the head, and serve you right. "Don't you get the idea into your head that it is smart to steal from other folks, or noble to go around ■hooting at them, because if you do somebody will take a club and beat out the Idea and your brains at tbe aame time, and nobody will be sorry for you either. The books you have been reading tell nothing but lies, and If you believe them you will get into trouble as sure as fate. The folks who run things in thin country are the ones who work for their bread, and they won't let you be robbers or bandits in slouch hats with pistols in your belts. They'll lock you up in jail the tirst time you try it, and make you work harder for bread and water than you'd have to outside for roast turkey. You try to get up any Jesse James business around here, and the police wilt catch jfou, and if you go around breaking into houses, you will get to be such mean, miserable men that your mothers won't own you. "You can't be bad men out West, either. There are too many good men there to let you ride around flourishing pistols and trying, to get your names into dime novels. They'll take you out and hang you up on a tree for the crows to eat. If you want to make your own way, go to work for a carpenter or a machinist, or somebody, ud learn how to handle tools. You can make your way honestly with a Mw or a drill, but you oan't make anything but a road to State prison with a pooket full of dime novels. If a farmer sees you trying to 'make your own way* in the dime-novel style, he will Mt the dogs on you. The bandit busineu don't pay worth a cent, and if you want to start in on that line, you fust make up your mind to live the life of ft dog and die young." After talking to the boys iu this way, it would be a good idea to inform them that a young Jesse James in Philadelphia has just been sent to prison for ft year for carrying a pistol. -Bottm Weekly Qtobs. A Magnificent Palace Oar. The private coach recently built for Mr, E. Talbot, of the Chicago Railway Age, is one of the moat luxurious affairs, says Mr. Pullman, ever put upon a railway traok. It runs on twelve wheels, six of whioh were made in Germany by Krupp. The observation room at the end of tho car is finished in oak with plate glass windows, extending to the floor, velvet carpets and embossed leather furniture, including aofaa. The bedroom is finished in maple and amaranth, and, opening from it, is the parlor, the most j elegant apartment of tho car. It ik finished in Bolid mahogany, with inlaid panels and carvings ot rare and costly woods from all corners of the earth, including the Holy Land. Tho butler's pantry, kitchen, and the sleeping apartments for the servants are models of elegance and comfort. To duplicate the car it would cost $75,000, It was a present to Mr. Talbot. VanflerMU's Strong Box. I stood the other day in the vault of tho formidable fortress of iron and masonry on Forty-second streot, where last year the richest nabob in the world looked up hia $200,000,000 in stocks, bonds and other securities. It is one of the most redoubtable works of defence on the American oontinent, though you may not be entirely certain of that by surveying the building from the outside. Its foundations were blasted out of the rock; the front wall is five feet in thickness, and the side and rear walls are three feet, the materials used being pressed brick with brown-stone trimmings. The beams, girders and main pillars are iron, incased in fireproof material. The doors, window frames and minor partitions are iron, marble and glass. No wood is to be found in the structure. The great vault is 36x42 feet, of wrought iron, steel and Franklin- ite iron, is imposing in strength and proportions, and iB situated on the ground floor. Ita four outer doors weigh 8,200 pounds each, and have every effective and known improvement in defensive devices. A massive wall of masonry surrounds the ironwork. The vault, which is burglar, fire and water proof, constitutes a distinct building in itself. Tho armed watchmen who guard the building day and night are under the strictest discipline, their hourly movements being recorded by an electric dook connecting with various points on each floor of the structure, and there are also wires running to police headquarters and the offices of the district telegraph. In one corner of this great vault, behind heavy iron bars, are the heavier iron doora of the works containing the Vanderbilt securities, which can be opened only by skeleton keys held by the owner alone. I suppose that a hundred men in this building, with Gatling guns, oould easily defend it against a mob of 100,000 assailants; it could be reduced by nothing less than the continued play of heavy artillery, —John Swinton. A whisker dye must be convenient to use, easy to apply, Impossible to rub off, elegant bi appearance, and cheap in price, Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers unites In itself all these merits. ftytt. • WHOLESALE & RETAIL eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeo ICAL HALL.

My son, drop that dime novel or flash paper and let's have a little chat. Yes, Indian and detective stories are thrilling, but don't go too fast. The chances are that you will never see a live Indian outside of a circus or a Btreet parade, and as for killing 'em, don't. No doubt you could strap a bowie- knife and revolver around your waist and take a loaf of bread under one arm and the pamphlet life of Buffalo Bill under the other, and go west and slay Indians by the cord, but don't think of it. An Indian has feelings, the same as a white njan, and as few of them have laid by any bonds or mortgages, or invested to any great extent in life insurance, you must realize that the widows and orphans of your victims would be left in a sad plight. As for detective stories, go and talk with a real detective or a county sheriff. Ask 'em about "Old Sleuth's" disguises and exploits and magic luck and then listen carefully while they tell you what a fool you are making of yourself by grinding the end of your nose against pages of such trashy fiction. We want you to read, but for the land's sake look about for something different! Thore are good boy- books, your father takes the daily papers, and if you should read a page of history now and then you wouldn't waste your time. That crowd of New York publishers who are flooding the country with flash papers and dime novels are your worst enemies. No matter to them whether you grow up a respectable man or a murderer so long aa they get your money. Their stories are the basest lies, too silly even for a boy 10 years old to believe. Now, then, look about you and soe how many men in our stores and factories and offices and upon the streets are getting gray and wrinkled and old. Twenty years from now not one in ten of ub whom you see in business to-day will be able to put our shoulders to the wheel. Even a decade will retire tens of thousands. What then? Why, my son, thia is a world which knows no atop. Thia iv a life which knows no rest until old age compels it. When the men of to-day are laid up in dry-dock the boys of to-day will be the fresh set of hands called on deck to work the ship. They will be the merchants, farmers, manufacturers and professional men of the future. You will have to bear the burdens and anxieties of keeping this country on the track of peace and prosperity, and your voices will sound from the halls of Congress and your pens write words to burn in the memory of future generations. Oome, now, begin right. Don't get it into your head that an Indian-killer is about four pegs above a State Senator. Don't imagine that a detective wouldn't trade places with a lawyer very quickly if he had his say nbout it. Don't you believe that an embezzler, burglar or murderer is a hero, and that men admire him. Drop your novels and flash papers as a starter. The boy who feeds on such trash gets false impressions of the world, and is more certain to bring up in State Prison than in respectable employment. If you have a pistol fling it aside. The man who carries one about the streets is a coward, and men mark him as suoh. If you have a bowie-knife on hand turn it over to Jour mother for a meat or bread knife, f you have a sand olub lying around loose shy it into the ditch before any body finds out hew empty your head has been. That pair of brass-knuckles can be tossed into the river. "Old Sleuth" and "Buffalo Bill" will make a good bonfire, and then you are ready to begin life and to ask yourself what trade or profession shall be yours when done in the school.—Af. <Hio<*, in Detroit Free Press.
