Wedncsdfur Morning, Oct. 3. 1883, [Written for the Columbian.' Pootoo: A Christian Pilgrimage to a Mongolian Mecca. . On th. extreme eastern .eabonrd of Chin., not many hours steam from tho ancient and prosperous oity of Ningpo* lies a group of islands, known as the Chusan Archipelago, which' havo more than a local reputation. As the haunt of a numerous and formidable band of pirates, whoa, depredations extend— tor they still carry on their nefarious trade—along a considerablo sketch of coast, southward and in a lesser dogroe, up the creeks and rivers of the moro northern provinces, the group has an unenviable notoriety among Chinese sea-faring men; while it is equally famous among d.vout Buddhists as embracing the beautiful isle of Pootoo, a ploc of pilgrimage to which thousands of devotees are attracted yearly, more especially during the months of January and February, towards the close, that is, of th. Chines, year. But Pootoo is famous not only among the Chinese. It has. favorable reputation as a sanitarium among the throe thousand foreigners whom Fortune—some of them would say Miss Fortune—has compelled to settle down, in quest of tho elusive dollar, on th. banks of the mighty Yang-tae and its tributary, tbe Hwang-pu. The foreign settlement of Shanghai furnishes of course the largest portion of visitoreduring lhe summer season, but from the various- riverine ports—Chinkiang, Kiiikiimg, Hankow, and othors of less importance —and from the adjacent city of Ning- po, come numbers of mon, delicate- looking ladies nnd children, in quest of the cooling and health-laden breozos whioh stir the beautiful groves of the sacred islo. July and August ore the months whioh count the greatest number of foreign sojourners on tlie island, but many families commence their pilgrimage early in June, and a formidable undertaking it is, for everything needed during the stay on the island—badding, furniture, copkmg- uten.ils, and provision,—has to bu taken along. The only accommodation to be had in the way of lodging takes the. shape of a temple, overy building on the place being either actually occupied or owned by tho priests* Of these there aro usually Homo Llifoo hundred scattered among innnniorublc temples ami nionnstei ies, tiiou'gli in iii.- early part of the yeai' tut many isii,o thousand uro said to take part in the 'religious cermoutes winch attend a- immense a cmcourso of pilurims. Oi ' these latter,'by far tlio largest' proilor- tion ar. of tho sterner sex. Until within the last few years, indued, uo woman was allowed to set font on the island; and even now, so far as the writer is aware, the only exception made is in favor of native amahs, or uursus, accompanying foreign families. Thero ore two methods of reaching Pootoo—by native boat from Ningpo^ a todious and not oltogothor safe mode of conveyance—and by steamer from Shanghai direct. This latter method, however, can only be availed of during two or three months of the year, and then more, perhapsthrough thecourtsey of the Chinese, steam-ship company who own the line of vessels running as fur as Ningpo, than from any profit they make out of th. business. This company is known as the China Merchants' Stum Navigation Co , and is in reality • govornment concern. It is conducted by a board of native merchants, at the hud of whom is an able man, Tong " lino, who received his edt " in. the King Sing, who received his education in. the English High School at Singapore, ana was for many years head oompradore, or cashier, with tho famous firm of Jardine, Mathoscn and Co. The China Merchants' Co., as it is famillary called, possesses a largo Hoot of powerful ocean and river steamers, th. latter u large as any to bo found on American inland waters, and built on th. urn. principle. Thos. an employed in the Yang-tse River trade, and Eroooed as far up that mighty stream as chang, a distance of a thousand miles from th. seo. The ocean steamers are also vary One vessels, and mak. connections with every treaty port on the China tout, from Kiung-chow on the Island of Hainan, in th. far south, to Niu-ehwang, in th. province of Siting- king, which adjoins Coroa, iu the ex- tram, north. Distant some hundred and twenty miles south of Shanghai stands th. oity of Ning-po, which has already bun mentioned u a place of some Importance and th. point from which the pleasure-seeker bound to Pootoo must take his departure. Th. compsnys' stumers, during the ordinary suson, proceed no further than this point, but during the months of July and August, and sometime, later, th. Saturday trip from Shanghai is ...tended t. th. island sanitarium, to the gnat convenience, more especially of th. European paterfamilias—all foreigners in th. East are spoken of as Europeans—who avails himself of the opportunity to catch a glimpse of his family, and at th. same time secure a few mouthfuls of fre.h air, a scarce article in muggy, sweltering Shanghai during th. summsr months. This was the mod. of conv.yance ssttled by a party of whom th. writ.r mode one, which had naolved on a visit tn th. famous archipelago. Liko tho family immortalised by Wordsworth, wo were HV.n. It was my first visit to the islands, but th. rest had made annual pilgrimages for years past, sometimes by steam-launch, som.timu by pilot-boat —bothplosM t modes of convoynnos— -mmmetm The British Columbian. VOLUME 24 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1883. NUMBER 27 but iiBimlly by the Bteamer we were about to journey in, the Kiaug-teen, a tine vessel fitted up mainly, of course, with, an efe to native accommodation, the amount of foreign travel between Shanghai and Ningpo befog inoonsider- able. Sho hod, however, a fife, spacious saloon, with state-rooms for about thirty first-class passengers. iOn the occasion of our trip these were more than filled, several members f of the sterner sex who had proven dilatory in securing their passage having to content themselves with such accommodation aa was afforded by a settee, or a cot strung in a ccol and secluded spot on the main deck. The Snanfthai mos- quitos having fortunately failed to bo- oure passage, and the journey being a brief one, this was a matter lather for congratulation than otherwwtfethe state rooms offering anything but'favorable conditions for sleep, packed as thoy were with so many perspiring specimens of humanity, tine arrancem-wts for the trip weie as follows": The Kiang-"' toon was to cast off from the Kin-lee- yuen wharf at 6 p.m. of Saturday1, and proceed direct to Ningpo, where Bhe was due at six ou the following morning. After discharging her freight of Chinese passengers and goods, she was then to proceed to Pootoo. which aha. was' expected to reach about noon on Sunday, Here she was to remain quietly at anchor until tho following morning, when she was to return to Ningpo, and after a stay of a few hours, giving sufficient timo to sight-seers to take a peep at tho city, once more head for Shanghai, where she was duo at daylight on,Tuesday- morning. Such an arrangement offered an excellent chance for an outing to tliose whom business firovented the taking of an extended ho- iday, and the majority of the excursion- ists were of this category, only the ladies aud children of the party—of jrhom there were about half a dozen, all accompanied by their native nurses —looking forward to a protracted stay. At the hour appointed, all the intending holiday-makers being assembled on board, tho steamer cast off from the wharf, and commenced to thread her way through the throng of shipping of all nationalities, British, French, Amorican—the latter greatly in the minority, I am compelled tu Btato—Gorman, Chinese, Siamese, and Japaueso; amongst them ninny tine vessels, the huge mail steamers of the "P. aud 0." and tho Messagoiiea Maritimes companies attracting particular attention. The sun had already loBt much of hia - power, and ob we steamed past the beautiful publio gardens of the English Concession—once an unsightly mud-bank, and reclaimed by the municipality at considerable expense ■— numbers of gayly-dressed* promenadera were to be seen, engaged in conversation, or listening to the strains of the Manila Band, in institution also supported by the municipal council, which provides frequent open- air concerts. Tho gardens and tho hniK.jome and stately foreign "hongs" or business places of the Bund were SLtickly loft behind, nnd the mouth of to Suo-chow creek paused.- -Then came into viow the American Concession; on the oppostto, or Porting, shore, the ^-extensive ship-haili ng yards of Boyd & Co. being alao ■« suable.

Half way down the river wo pass Gough Island, a considerable tract of land formed by deposits of mud loft by tho eddying river, nnd whioh a dozen years ago nad no existence, but is now cultivated and sottled. "Tho Heaven-sent Barrier," as tho bar at tho mouth of the river ia liously termed by tho natives—a langorous and annoying obstruction— ia safely crossed, and tho lights of Woosung begin to appear. Tho forts on the banks of the stream at its am- bouohoro into the mighty Yang-tse looking very formidable in tho misty twilight. Out into the yeasty waters of tho "Child of tho Ocean" wo pass, aiid the vessel's head is turned towards the sea. The Yang-tee at this point is several miles in width, And by reason of opposing and treacherous currents, and the comparative shallowness of the water, navigation becomes moro and moro difficult. Our pilot ia a man of experience and judgment, however, and directs the vessel's courso amid the mazes of the Tungsha Banks with admirable skill. Tho welcomo sound of tho dinner-bell is now hoard, and the saloon is quiokly filled and tho important business of refreshment receives attention. A couple of Hours having been consumed at tho table, au adjournment is mado on dock. By tins time darkness haa fallen, and the night threatening fog and perhaps rain, the saloon Ib onco moro sought; without any feeling of disappointment, however, at tho change in tho weather, sinco thero is nothing to be Been of the coast until the mouth of tho Ningpo river is reached.

The Hamilton (Ont) Antes thinks that the present season will not be favorable to Candian farmers genet' allj. The wheat crop, it says, is considerably below that of last year, smd there ia no probability of high prion either. Supplies of wheat from India are more plentiful than usual, and the Knglish warehouses are full. If Canada lias a short crop with low prices the effect may lie very serious. When the purchasing power is small among farmers, all industries suffer. There have for some time been rumors of an approaching commercial stringency. A short time ago the cotton factories were pnt on short time because the supply had gone beyond the dcumnd. The number of financial failures, too, has been increasing tliis year; and altogether the prospect is not reassuring. A shortage in the wheat crop, and a consequent curtailment ot trade, may go far towards precipitating commercial disaster. Entered toe Pool. It is no secret that great expectations were entertained respecting the Northern Paoifio Railway. Those who find it necessary to patronize the other two transcontinental railways have found the rates exorbitant, and they looked for relief to the Northern. It was confidently expected thnt this road would keep independent of the pool, and bring tho tariff down tn a reasonable figure. But these expectations have been nipped in the bud. Before the road has been fairly completed the announcement goes forth that the Northern Pacific has joined the pool, and that froight aud passenger rates will be the same as those of the Central and Southern. There is to be no competition, no relief from the monopoly. Tlie Northern agrees to deliver gooda at San Francisco for the'same rates as the other railways, and tho Central and Southern agree to deliver them ut Portland at same rates as tho Northern. This pool arrangement begins at once, and continues at least till the end of 1884. Whether it will be extended beyond that period or not depends upon whether the pool works to the satisfaction of the companies concerned. For the purpose of establishing healthy competition the TT. S. government made very liberal land grants to the Southern Pacific Bail- way, But that road, when finished, very soon formed a pool with the Central, and there competition came to an end. The Northern was heavily subsidized by the same govornment for a similar purpose. Now the Northern does exactly what the Southern has done, and the three railways become one grand monopoly. There iB one hope left yet for the people of this coast. In two years the Canadian Pacific will probably be finished. The importers of San Francisco are looking forward hopefully to that event because they have an idea that the opening of the C. P. K. will cause a decline in rates. We hope it may, but we aro afraid it will not. The C. P. B. unfortunately is not a government road. It belongs, or will belong, to a private syndicate who have all along manifested a desire to monopolize everything that could by any possibility interfere with their interests. The C. P. B. syndicate have just aa great an ambition to make money as any other railway company. If they find it to their advantage to join tht railway pool, they will undoubtedly do it. No patriotic motives will prevent them. We hope the C. P, B. will remain independent, however, and will make a tariff that will leave nothing to be desired. tention to the common mistake of somo people who bring nothing to the show because they have nothing whioh they consider worthy of a prize, Suoh a polioy, if generally adopted, will be certain to lessen very materially the success of tho exhibition, and in many caws it will bring regret to those who pnnue it, It is a very common thing for people visiting an exhibition to discover in many departments articles quite inferior to those they left at home as unworthy of the show. Bring the very beat yon can find; But if you have anything even fairly good, bring it along. It will materially add to the exhibition, and who knows bnt it may carry off a prize as well, But the motive whioh should govern all exhibitors is' higher than that of personal gain. " Breathes there n man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath Bald, This Is my own, my native land!" We do not believe the people of British Columbia are wanting in patriotism, nnd there has, perhaps, never before been presented an opportunity when they could better bring into public notice the resources of the conntry. Aside, therefore, from any consideration of prospective prize money, it is to be hoped tho people of British Columbia will take some trouble to make the approaching ahow a fair and creditable exhibit of the agricultural capabilities and resources of the province. Let every district,' every settlement, every farm be represented by the best available products. Thero are many strangers now in the province looking for lands and other invest- ments. These people will be vory apt to attend the exhibition for the purpose of learning how and where they may most profitably place their energies or their money. Those neighborhoods which are not represented, or which are badly represented at tho show will lose an excellent opportunity of advertising thom selves, and may thus escape the notice of persona who, if they became residents, would add materially to the resources and revenue of the community. It is expected there will be a large attendance from all parts of the province. There will be buyers and. sellers of produce, stock and manufactures of all descriptions. It will be a grand provincial market day, as well as an exhibition, Persons who havo anything to sell will find an opportunity to sell it j those who wish to buy will find plenty from which they maymakeaselection; and those who can neither sell, nor buy, nor exhibit, nay with profit examine the collection which represents the industries and resources ot British Columbia.

With thia object in view representatives of the company will canvass the country between Whatcom and Semiahmoo, and the building of the road will be contingent upon the donations offend. Surveys will be made in the very near future. The company do not propose to tie up the title to nal estate for an indefinite period, but will place a limit upon the time which the road ia to be built, and if not built within the timo prescribed, then all contributions will revert to the original ownera.—ITAafcom Btwille. Stealing a Crave I Wo have heard of stealing nil sorts of things, even to a corpse The following dialogue, between a certain undertaker in this city and the gov't, agent, was overheard on Columbia st. ene day last week, and brings to light a species of theft hitherto unheard of: Undertaker.—Who buried Don- Ian?- Gov. Aot.—I don't knew. Who is Donlanl U.—The man who was drowned at the wharf. Who buried him! G. A.—OhI I suppose it was the gaoler. , IT.—And who paid for the funeral! G. A.—The expenses of the coffin wen paid out of money found on his person, and the work waa done by some of the chaingang, . U,—But they have stolen my gravel G. A.—Stolen yonr grace! How's that? U.—Why, I had a grave all nady dug in the cemetery arid they went and put Donlan into it, and when I sent out the next corpse a new grave had to be dug. I shall expect the corner house, occupied by Chinamen, waa built by the Royal Engineers in 1868, and used by them as a survey office and storehouse. The house north of this was the old guard room. It was built of logs, in 1868, and is said to have been the 'first house erected at Sapper'on—before the dense forest of fir and cedar which stood on New Westminster oity site had been, interfered with. When the colony bad beon divided this building waa used as the government printing office. tlcmtmtnicjttions. The Special Prizes.

Peele, Sec. [Written for the Columblan.1 Pootoo: A Christian Pilgrimage to a Mongolian Mecca. (From F(rst Page.) . On the following morning everyone was astir betimes, and as all had enjoyed a sound and refreshing sleep, the sea having, fortunately, proved calm throughout tho night, the whole company were in excellent spirits. The morning broke bright and beautiful, and promised a lovely day. A light haze hung over trie waters, obscuring the coast-Tine from view, but now and then the veil of mist would lift an reveal a glimpse of the beautiful islands we.had come to visit. Just as the sun began to ahow his face over the edge of the watery horizon, the fog cleared, and we had a splendid viow of the islands aid the country lying about the mouth of the river, whioh we were* about entering. Aa at Weosung, we found'the onterance obstructed by a large fleet of salt-junks, guarded by mandarin tax-boats—quaint structures, gaudily painted and bo-fagged—and tiny gunboats propelled by oan and carrying in the bow a solitary piece, of about the calibre of a good sized musket. On the left bank ia situated the town or city of Chin-line, which is surrounded by a substantial wall, and protected by a number of forts. During .the war between China and England, theae were invested by tho latter power, after a stubborn defence, and the guns now surmounting the bastions are probably tho very ones that dealt out death and destruction to the invaders a generation ago. No stop was made at Ohin-hae, and we sped quickly along, in momentary prospect of running down and swamping some of the numberless frail sampans, propelled by screeching females, that made a point of darting right under our bows, as though with the very object of getting themselves run down, that they might olaim compensation, a trick peculiarly Chinese, and by no means uncommon. No object of interest was visible along the banks of the stream, with the exception cf a number of thatched *' godowns" or warehouses, in which were stored supplies of thin and filthy ice, gathered from the sur- - • "el, government to pay me for that grave. The G. A. retired reflectively, and ia probably still considering whether the undertaker has a lawful claim on the government for that atolen grave. ■ o Laldlaw's Cannerjr Burnt. 101113TIMTE0 AT ABOUT 100,000. Shortly after 0 o'clock laat Mondsy night flames wero seen issuing from Laidlaw & Go's, cannery, at Sap- perton. The alarm was at once given, and a messenger despatched to this city tor assistance. In a very abort time after the fire boll began to ring, the engine and hose cart wen on their way to tho conflagration. But the distanco ia fully a mile, and before the firemen arrivod the whole establishment waa enveloped in flames and beyond all control. The tinmen at once took in the aituationand directed their energies towards saving adjoining property. A ahort distance beyond the cannery ia a wharf upon which atands a small warehouse when were stored 1300 esses of salmon. This was saved without difficulty. Between tho cannery and the road stood Mr. Laiillaw'a own residence and thne or four buildings occupied by his Chinamen. Theeelaa- tiala gathered up their worldly goods with wonderful promptness and packed them off to safe places, while many willing hand, assisted Mr. Laidlaw in mnnving llio furniture and effects from his dwelling. The contents vf all the buildings, except tlie cannery, wen saved, but some uf thoni wore much damaged by removal. Thu only building saved un the road was Mr. Laid* law's residence. It was ut one time- hoped that the others might be kept from the flames, but the heat from the burning cannery becamo so intense that the best efforts of the firouien could do no mors than okeck thefleroe- s of the blaze. There were In the cannery 4000 cases of salmon, worth at lout 190,000. These were entirely lost The cannery was 300 feet long, part of It 30 and part 60 feet wide. It contained a considerable quantity of machinery and all appliances for the business of canning fish. The loss, Including fish, ie roughly estimated at tromjW-.OOQ to 170,000. Mr. Laidlaw was insured, but does not yet know to what extent. It Is probable tho insurance amounts to about (60,000. At ene time the fence round the penitentiary grounds caught fire, but it waa quickly extinguished. Tho tinmen worked well, and ao did many ef the eitiaens; and we must not omit to mention the Indiana, who atood at the breaks manfully. This fire blotted out some of the auoiont land marks, The rounding rice fields, for consumption by the good people of Shanghai. Yes, there was ono other object that excited Built, attention—a hue;* Krupu flun, apparently of considerable value, which lay on the muddy bank where it had landod perhaps a year ago, exposed to the action of the atmosphere and the ebb and flow of the tides, whioh reaohed and covered it day after day. Such la China I Less than an hour sufficed to land the couple at hundred bustling Chinese passengers with their multitudinous bundles and blankets, and tbe freight that had been brought down, and the vessel's head was once more turn seaward. The equanimity with which one is said to hear the misfortunes of othen received practical illustration as the steamer steered off from the landing- stage. A respectably dressed Chinaman, evidently bound for Pootoo, reaohed the pontoon just in time to aee us leave, and the way that unfortunate individual danced about the stage and leaped into the air, " ohin-chinning" the steamer, and as long as it remained in view, beseeching it to come back, afforded intense amusement (a strict regard for truth compels me to state) to his more fortunate fellows, Poor man. It was a serious matter for him; for he must either wait a whole week for the next steamer, or charter a email junk for his special behoof, a costly proceeding. Wo soon left both him anil the city behind, and glided down the diity river—ell the rivers of th* north are muddy—passing three largeOhin.se gun-boats, of foreign construction, and sighting a canal which was cut by the British during the war. ' We were again forcibly struck with the enormous number of -ice-houses liuing the banks of the river, and after listening to a description of the method employed by the ice-harvosten to secure tlieir crops which consists in flooding, during the •inters, the manure-saturated rice flats, and garnering the thin flakes uf ice forming on them—we began to understand the nlation of the germ theory nnd the oholora question among tho natives. On reaching the open, the sea was found to be beautifully calm ; as it was, indeed, during the whole trip, one of the greatest drawbacks to all marine excursions, saa-sicknesi, boing thus happily escaped; Leaving on our left a rocky islet surmounted by a modern lighthouse, and en our right another, topped by a moss- grown fort, wo shaped a course for the Sacred Isle, passing through a perfect labyrinth of islands, large and small, which, though mostly flat, were green and inviting. Thia was, the captain's first trip to Pootoo, and realizing the difficult nature of the'taak of piloting his veasol through such a maze et islands, he had wisely seoured the services of nn experienced Ningpo pilot, under whose watchful can the excursionists safely passed through the archipelago, and reaohed the sought-fur island, It woe close on the tiffin hour when the Bteamer dropped anchor, which she did in deep water, some forty-five fathoms of chain being paid out. The heat had become oppressive, and it was unanimously agreed to postpone our landing until lunch had been partaken of, and the aun'a rays had lost a portion of their fervour. It wu just u well thnt this deoislon waa arrived .at, for the vessel hsd hardly boon brought to an anchor befon indications of an approaching storm began to make themselves manifest, and In a startling brief space of time thick clouds overspread the heavens, and a terrific squall of wind, accompanied by blinding shoe's of rain burst over the vessel. Bythe time the tiffin wna over, however, the nin had ceased and the wind fallen. The sky once mon became urene, and the atmosphere so cool that it was resolved to land at once, instead of waiting until towards sundown, as had-boon intended. The ship's boats were called away, and a number of the passengers, provided with towels and other necessary bathing gear, took their scats and were conveyed to the shore, some of tho lady passengers landing later on, to indulge in a stroll over the island. The landing-place iB not a particularly good one at the best, and at low tide a considerable expanse of muddy beach is laid bare, at the mouth of the little cove where excursionistMmially stepon .shore. Little inconvenience was however experienced in landing, and the iarty turned their steps toward the arther side of .the island, where the bathing grounds are-situated. On the way up, a party of sad-looking European missionaries, were noted seated on a wall overlooking the sea. It was understood that they bod been rusticating on the island for about a month, and were to be joined by another band who had como down with ub, but who. on account of its being Sunday, deoliued to land 1 . The path for some time loy upward, but the ascent wu an easy one, and the road good, a smooth causeway of hewn stone leading from tho landing p'ace'to a divide which if not the highest, point on the islandd's lofty enough to afford the sight-seer an excellent idea ef Ub topography. Here the priests had, in' times remote, erected a rough gateway of mud. This was in no wise a remarkable structure, either in point of beauty or in massiveness, but it served tho excellent purpose of a frame or setting to the beautiful-land and sea scape on either aide of the island, whioh, with its help,, wu seen to the best possible advantage. Here the party halted for a few moments, in order to do justice to the view. From this point the road began to descend, and the scenery became more varied and beautiful. Nestling down in the heartof the valley, on tho left, lay a olustor of temples, while away in front were the low hills, covered with verdure, beyond which were hid the cool, sequestered beaehes in search of whioh the pleasure-seekers had come. When near the foot of the bill, the party halted to inspect a couple ef curious stone tablets, whieh stood by the side of the road, embowered in shrubbery. They bore inscriptions in Chinese, andinanother language which, it wu understood, had bo far proved undecipherable. One of tho party hazarded the opinion that thocharacters were Sanscrit, and this conjecture seemed to carry a certain amount of weight from the fact that the Buddhist priesthood in China and Japan aro possessed of a rudimentary knowledge of tliiB father of languages, of which they avail themselves in' the way of furnishing posthumous titles for inscriptions on tomb-stones. Others of the company, however, declared that the memorials had boon examined by learned men of various nationalities, who had confessed their inability to expound their' meaning. And so the matter rests. The writor doos not pretend to any intimate acquaintance with the languages of the eutern continent, and cannot take upon himself to settlo the vexed question. While perusing a recent number of a scientific journal, however, he wu struck with the remarkable resemblance of the characters in they had been—wore compelled to forogo tho exciting delights of a scramble up tho steop, slippery, weed- clad rocks, for. the perilous pleuure of being wasliod yards away by somo thunderous breaker. "Oh, the inorry days of youth!" On tho way back another path wu c-ioson. Tins lod to a snjall bmlding, formerly used ub a tomplo, but at the timo occupied by fishermen in the om- ploy of tlio priests. Tliis wu famous- for its woll of clear, ice-cold water, to tlie virtues of whioh the attention of the pilgrim wu called by a Btone bearing on inscription, in Chinese, of courso. It is called the Gonu'B Well, and. it is believed by tho devout tliat a draught of Its cool,- crystal waters confers the gift of longevity. On learning thia, every member of the company of course made a point* of Indulging in a good, long draught! Near by, in a dilapidated temple, were a largo bell -and on enormous drum, the latter certainly twelve feet in diameter, nnd giving out when struok perfect thunder-peals. The bell is without a clapper, and is struok, as all bolls aro in the Far East, by means of c. kind of battering-ram of wood, shod with iron, slung by ropes on one side, at a suitable height. Some idea of its great size will be gathered when it is mentioned that tho combined strength of two able-bodied men wu required to bring out its full tones, which reverberated, it seemed to us, all over the island, and well-nigh Grand Concert!

As early as five o'clock, then, tho wholo of those who had already paid their respects to Father Neptune* with some others, tumbled out of bed and ashore. As it turned out, thero was plenty of time to get over to. the beach and indulge in a dip. Such was tho enthusiasm of some of the swimmers that a mere dip would not suffice them, but they must needs make the circuit of a point of rooks which separated the bay they were in from another—equally convenient, but not in such favor—to the left, winding up with a genuine wallow in a fresh-water runlet which emptied out of the lotus-pond aforementioned, 'some half mite distant.

A short walk down hill brought the sightseers to tho main group of temples, to reach which it was necessary to crass a pond filled with lotus—the plant sacred to Buddha, on which he is usually represented Bitting, in the attitude of meditation—in various j-tagea moro or less approaching maturity. The temples themselves were not particularly striking. Years ago they were no doubt beautiful, but they now present a dilapidated appearance, and aro being allowed to'fall "into decay. Only one of them contained anything worthy of inspection—a gigantic idol, at least twonty feet high, and ten in circumference. It was in a sitting posture, with the limbs crossed, a la Turque, and appeared to be com- < Ksed or plaster or papier-macho, avily gilded. An adjacent building contained a number of wooden carvings, muoh tarnished, said to represent the punishment of evil-doers in Hades. The island abounds with shrines and temples, somo of them of considerable size and containing hundreds of gilded idols; but neither in point of architecture or decoration are they worthy of note. In the summer season they are, however, largely availed' of, by both foreigners and natives, as well as by fleas and other objectionable insects, as lodging-places.' , Four years ago no less than forty Europeans, from various ports on the coast and the Kiver Yang-tsze, were temporarily domiciled oh tho island at one time. It is a favorite sanatorium with European missionaries, who come to it from all parts of China, and stay threo or four months at a time—at the expense of the .pious people in homo countries, of course. At tho timo of our visit, the weather was delightfully cool, and as a rule the temperature throughout the summer is always considerably below that of tho mainland. We found thero' were already a number of peoplo from Shanghai settled down for the summer—among them an educated Chineso family—tho head of which was a mandarin, who had accepted the doctrines of Christianity. Thoy wero accustomed to entertain in tho western style, their homo in tho eity being a' favorite visiting place with U. S. naval officers. Ono of the daughters was accustomed to dress in European fashion; and married a Dane, the commander of a Chinese revenue cruiser. Tho youngest, a damsel of sixteen, was a charming littlo creaturo, even in her hideous national dress. Tho whole family spoko English with perfect fluency, and understood other foreign languages, and played aud sang. On leaving tho temples, the party mode for a small village, the road leading to it, as elsewhere throughout tho island, being lined with beautiful shade trees, - and paved with broad, smooth blocks of granite. The hamlet contained not mon* than a couplu of score of dwellings, most of them stores for the sale ot tho holy picturon and vosarios, and wm an uninviting place. Passing this, the smul-banks topping tlie hunch wore quickly reached, tho sight of the sen leading to a race along the hard, whito strand to a shady nook in the rocks whioh afforded admirable facilities for tlie preliminaries necessary to bathing. How joyous was the prospect! Tho bright, blue sea—such a contrast to the leaden colored Hwang-pu, that ono hod been accustomed to gain on every day for years—camo frolicking in On tho smooth stretoh of hard sand, with just enough of surf to offer inducement to a tussle with it; nhd, sooth to say, little timo was lost by tho bathers in availing themselves oi tho invitation il oxtended to them I Old and young tumbled and splashed about in the e'ear, oool waters with unbounded delight, and it was with tho greatest rtluotanco that somo of tho party at least—fellows not quito so young as loose, puce-colored robes.

"By always thinking of me. when you waar it; then, as no went down- at&irs, "Hy mother wore it on her wedding-day. Now I am suro you will Value it more." Herwald and Dudley wore in high spirits as they went along, and I oould aot help beine infected with their gay- ■ity, and Herwald w»b in the middle of an anecdote when the carriage drove through the lodge gate, and in another minute stopped at the hall door. The powdered-haired footman (I was glad Herwald did not have his servants) lo disfigured) wanted to hand me over te a jaunty-looking French maid, hut Herwald aaid, "No need," and with Aia own hands relieved mo of my shawl. giving me at the same time a Bweet reassuring smile; and offering me his arm, took me in. Thereat the ond of a long, lofty room, sat Miss Rivers on her couch of state, who welcomed mo graciously, and Herwald and Dudley warmly. Bhe looked really well in her black lace with coral ornaments, but I Bhould have thought it better taste to havo worn a quieter dress, especially as no one was to meet us. "What makes you so late, or rather punctual to the minute 71 said come at six." "Pardon me, but I could uot disturb this infatuated angler," said Herwald, coolly; "it would havo been cruelty, I assure you, Miss Rivers;" and then Mr. Rivors entered, and after a few words of polite greeting took me in to dinner. Miu Rivera followed ajp-ith tho two gentlemen, walking between them in a regal manner, and in the same way she monopolized .them both throughout the whole meal, dividing her words and. emilei between the twain, though I knew where the bluo gray eyes looked moat often. For myself, but for Mr. Rivers' kindly, attentions I should have been very dull; but he started some interesting topics of conversation in which I could readily join, and though we did not find as much to laugh at as they seemed to at tho other end of the table, I was not ill-amused. Now and then Herwald or Dudley addressed me by name ond aaid some pleasant thing across the table, but Miss Rivers never followed up their remarks, and if some general aubjsot were started, let it drop to the ground; which was discourteous in so young a hostess. The first time she really turned to me of her own accord was, when she gave the signal for rising; Herwald oponed the door, and aa I passed gave me a pitying smile. When we reached the drawing-room, though there was no fire, Maud Rivers marched up to tho hearth-rug as was her usual custom, and I meekly followed her. Standing thoro she turned her haughty eyes on mo, and quietly looked me over; and I am certain not a single point, good or bad, escaped her scrutiny—hair, eyes, hands, all passed under review; then Bhe drew up her tall figure to its utmost height, gave a swift survey of herself in tlie opposite glass, made a mental comparison disparaging to mo, and then said coldly— "Won't you Bit down, Misa Mortimer?" and took the corner seat of the couch opposite to the ottoman to which •he had waved me, and paused her* 1 self some time in silence., ( "Do you paint?" she said nt length, somewhat abruptly. "Not the least, Mies Rivera, but I hear you do." She put the question aside as not worthy of comment. "Do yo play harp or piano?" "The latter a little, but I am no musician." "Sing then?" "My voice has never been properly trained. I leave all the accomplishments to my sister; she both drawe and plays beautifull \" "Then I suppose you read a great deal?" "Alas! I rarely open a book; a leisure hour is a rare treat to me." "Why what on earth can you find to do?" was Miss Rivers'next question, arching her eyebrows inqusitively. "We are a large family," I said, "and I am the eldest and the house- kteper, and I have mauy children to work for." Miu Rivers smiled disdainfully, and evidently looked at me in the light of an inferior person, "Sou teem to be very friendly with Mr. Delorme.!' 1 felt her cold eyes on me, and answered hotly— "Of course, Herwald is my adopted brother." "Ah," she replied swiftly and with marked emphasis, "ah, 1 dare say yon have an elder-sisterly feeling towards him?" I was silent, attributing thia idea to my staid demeanor. "Why don't 70a advise him," she continued, "to go into parliament?" he hu great abilities," "True, but hut health will not bear it; his doctors have recommended rest and a quiet life for some years to "Oh, that ia nonsense," ihe said, sharply; "there ii nothing ails him but nil lenelineu and morbid feelings; I saw it abroad; you who are nil friends should recommend him to settle, nancy, enter into publio Wo, tako Us position In the county in fact." "Oh, f thought to.myself, that lsl what you aro aiming at, but I would' rather see him in his grave than you his wife, Maud Rivers. I made ani- "Yes, rather," I observed again, wearily. "Then you want to go home, you ungrateful girl?" "Not before yot; are ready, pray." • "Well, we must endure an hour's music first, or Miu Maud will never forgive mo;" and then he walked off to the tea-table, where he remained, but Dudley brought his cup and stood by my aide. "Why have I never been invited into the studio?" uid Herwald in an injured tone; "out of revenge because ws outbid your father in the Guido?" Miu Rivera laughed and looked flattered. "Oh, no, my only reason is that T want you to sie my picture complete'I. and to give mo a candid criticism." "Nearly finished, is it Maud?" "Yes, papa, I have only a few days' work." 'What iB the subject, may I uk?" 'Dido's funeral pile." 'On my honor, Miss Rivers, you are bold to select such a subject; it will want delicate handling." "I am delighted it is nearly finished," observed her father, "for Maud is putting all her color into the picture, and I nover plan a ride, drive, or visit, but it is 'Please, papa, I must finish this figure, or put in this piece of drapery.'" • "Miu Rivers was very good then to spare me a few hours on Saturday," said Herwald quietly; sho colored. "Papa exaggerates dreadfully; shall we havo some music now ?—aud sitting down to her harp she mado Herwald accompany her on the piano. The effect was very good. Maud Rivers showed herself to be on accomplished harpist, and when they had played two or three pieces, her father begged fora vocal duet, 'and they sung somo Italian and German sungs together. Herwald had an agreeable tenor, and though Miss Rivers' voico was thin and iuferior in quality, sho made up for it by tho excellence of her training. When they had finished, Herwald of his own accord sat down and sang a Spanish canzonotte so sweetly and melodiously, that I could not help whispering as he rose— "You ahould sing that serenade to tho lady you deign to woo; it would certainly win." He laughed and answered mischievously, but I dared not pursue the joke, for Miu Rivers was watching us closely. "Don t you sing, Miss Mortimer?" sho , observed, with nn attempt at lira- oiousness. "Like a nightingale," answered Herwald, gayly; "I have a vivid remembrance of Bonnie Dundee, and Auld Robin Gray; but you must excuse her to-night--(how kind nf him to shield me so)—and now, my fair hostess, 'the way iB long, the night is cold,' though, by-tho-bye, 'the minstrel is not infirm and old," and thanking you for your kind entertainment, you must permit myself and friends to withdraw. "Nonsense; it is only eleven." "Did I Bay it waB twelve ? you have no basis for your argument; I have quick ears, and I know Zephyr and vixen nro stamping their hoofs this moment at your gate." "You are so ridiculously careful of your horses; they shall bo put up if you like." "Thank you;" replied Herwald, quietly taking her hand, "you are very kind, but we cannot bo late to-night. I suppose Miss Rivers Knew of old that it was useless to dispute Herwald's will, for sho Baid nothing, but bade us good-bye, scarcely acknowledging my parting thanks, and then to my groat relief the carriage door was shut upon us, and the horses went off at full speed. Herwald was. silent all the way home; but as we drove up the nvenue, he said:— "Wu are sure to find a fire somewhere; I'declare It feels quite chilly Public forks Department, COTTONWOOD CANYON, FRASER RIVER.

"How delicious and homelike!'1 I said, as I leant back nnd closed my oyes. "You have been wretched this evening Nellie; you have not enjoyed yourself a bit; I am so vexed!"
