On Saturday night, November 2nd, 1884, an Englishman named Morley Roberta arrived at Westminster on the str, Gem and registered at the Farmer's Home, then kept by Hr. Turnbull. This man, although wearing garments and presenting an appearance which would lead most people to pronounce him an ordinary tramp, was a^ very remarkable character. When he arrived in this city he had just completed a journey of 8000 miles over- Idnd from New York. Fart of that journey was made on the ears, where he often beat his way, port on steamers, and a good deal on foot. From the western end of the 0. F. R., then at the summit ofthe Rocky Mountains, he had walked nearly all the way to the Mission, a distance of about 540 miles, and he landed here with about two dollars in his pocket. But Roberts was an educated man, being well read in many branches of. literature, and familiar with many of the standard Latin and Greek authors. In the spring of 1884 he left England for a tramp on the American continent, and reached Texas in April, dead broke. There lie found employment among cattle herders and bull punchers until it became irksome, and after suffering hunger and fatigue and misfortune he left for the Rocky Mountains to work on the C. P. R. On the 7th of August he left St. Paul for the scene of his future operations, and after a journey of 1600 miles by rail reached the end of the track with an empty pocket. The railway work was not to his taste, and his senso of right could not tolerate the treatment to which the meit wort) subjected by some of the bosses. He determined, therefore, to push on to the coast. The incidents of his wanderings ate recorded in "The Western Avernus," a book of 307 pages just issued in London, and the volume is one of more than ordinary interest. Mr. Roberts is a Jfeenjobptvor and seems to be perfectly frank and honest in recording circumstances as he found them. He is a graceful writer) too, and his decription of scenery and surroundings is of undoubted merit. ln his long and wearisome tramp from the Kicking Horse to this eity he met with experiences and incidents whieh although related without apparent coloring, possess as muoh interest to the reader as some of the most thrilling works of fiction. He dosoribes all the plaoe through which he passed, the people whom he met, the character of the stopping places, aad the dismal state of civilization he observed. His personal sufferings were often intense. Without the means of procuring suitable clothing or food, he experienced from day to day the inconveniences of extreme cold and the pangs of real hunger. His feet became terribly blistered, and for dnys he tramped along with skinned heels Wl empty stomach. After coming ovor Jackass Mountain he describes his astonishment at finding a house, formerly used as a hotel, where he got a square meal with Revs. Messrs. Edwards and Small, two English church clergyman who kept batcholor's hall in that lonely place. The pie he ate at that meal he describes ns being like "a board, solid, unbendiiblc, durable, and waterproof;" and it gave him dyspepsia for throe days. This, it may bo explained, was Mr. Edwards' first attempt at pie making—and it could not be pronounced a success. His experiences in this city were more romantic than delightful. Two days after his arrival his financial balance sheet showed just 25cta. of a surplus on hand, and he went to work handling lumber in the Dominion Saw Mill. This was a kind of employment to which he had not been accustomed, but he did the best he could. After working n few days, he says: The superintendent spoke to McCulloch ono day: "What kind of a man is that fellow with the highlit)" "Well, Mr. G—, he does not know much about sawmills, but I tell you he's a rustler. He gets round quicker'n any man in mill the in spite of his long legs." "Wby, I nearly fired him the first morning," said the superintendent; "But I must have mnde a mistake." Mr. Roberts soon found his way to the public library where he spent manyhoursot the evenings reading such works as pleased him. On the 29th of December he walked out to Granville with John Anderssen, Fete, and Oharley, and on his return he was attacked by fever from which he did not quite recover until sometime in February. The lou of time, and the doctor's bill, made him in debt $30. By the end of March the mill owed him (23, which he managed to get through a singular incident. Ono day nt dinner ho thrashed the China cook and was discharged by Mr, Henderson, the manager, and draw bin money. In about ten days afterwards, he says, the mill company became bankrupt, so that if ho had remained it is doubtful if he would have drawn any wages at all. After returning to Eagle Pass and making some money, he went to Victoria, but found no work and 'spent all his surplus; worked his way on tho str. Olympian to Tacoma; found no work there; beat his way to Kalama on a freight train, and walked to Portland; no work there; after trying iu vain through the country for work ho walked noaily all the way to San Francisco, where he arrived with 25 eta. in his pocket But no work was to be bad there, and for days' he' Wo&dered about looking for jobs and starving Finally he struck work in the country and saved money enough to take him back to England. The book may be said to contain a record of the wanderings of an educated tramp a period of whose life seems to have been sadly wasted among the lowest classes of society. We hope Roberts has since learned that time is too valuable to be squandered aimlessly as he squandred it on this continent. BY TELEGRAPH.

London, Oct. 14.—The CTironirfe'j correspondent nt Berlin says that he has learned from an unimpeachable authority that the condition of the German crown prince is precarious and that Dr. Mackenzie's treatment has failed. That the prince became so weak in Tublach that he could travel only by easy stages, and that he positively refuses to submit to any further operation, although the original symptoms havo reappeared. TOOK MRS. IIALLEIT. London, Oct. 14.—The wife of Col. Hughes-Hallett lias appealed to the Conservative committee of Rochester to bo lenient towards her husband, and not to call upon him to resign hia seat in tlie house of commons. She has, sho says, condoned her husbands offence, and thinks the electors should nlso do so. Sho offers to personally visit all the electors in her husband's behalf, and asks the committee's opinion on the subject. Tho committee has replied, extending its sympathy to Mrs. Hallett, but does not favor her visit to tho electors. ON THE WAR l'ATH. BiLLiNus, Mon., Oct. 14.—Special Agent Howard, who is investigating the difficulty at tho Crow agency, said to-day thnt unless ordered otherwise. by to-morrow, nn attempt will be made to arrest the insubordinate Indians. Bloodshed will surely follow. Chief Sword Bearer at the head of 200 braves is camped within gunshot of the agency awaiting developments. Ho ia gaining reinforcements daily, and much uneasiness is felt by the settlers. Tho Indians ut tbo.agency are sullen and uucommuuicntive. TUB YUKON A SELL. San Francisco, Oct. 14.—A. M.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 15. —At 12:30 o'clock this morning General Master Workman Powderly attached hiB signnturo to a peremptory resignation of his position. He will withhold the presentation of tho document to the assembly ponding aotion upon tho report of the ooraniittee on laws which wss submitted just beforo the adjournment last evening. The report recommended dropping off two members of tiro general-executive board and placing the appointing power of the membership of that body in the hands of the general master workman. This is the climax of the administration's light upon Barry, of Michigan, and Bailey, of Ohio. The trouble originated when the executive board ordered that the stock yards strike at Chicago be ended. Barry and Bailey insisted then, and again yesterday ia the convention, that the men would win had thoy been left alone, and this insubordination apparently tho master workman never forgive, TO OVERAWE ANARCHISTS. Ciiif'Airo, Oct. 16.—The presence of a battalion of U. S. regular soldier, at tlio international encampment haa suggested to a number of offlieUU tha idea of keeping them here until after the execution of the condemned anarchists on Nov. Ilth. Liout.-General Sheridan will arrive here to-day, and it is stated that the mayor and sheriff will request the liout.-general to older a battalion into camp somewhere near the jail until all signs of trouble an over. 1 beecheb'u successor. New York,' Oot. 16.—Dr, Lyman Abbott, editor of the Christian fTnion, has been engaged ■• preacher for Plymouth Church pending the .election of a permanent pastor. He wilt begin his duties in November. It is understood tbat Dr. Abbott will not' bo a candidate for permanent paator and that he will not uta\ta—vSat pastorate dutios other than preaching. INSTANTLY KILLED. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 15.—Last evening Wm. Wickmeyer, of Cornel, Iowa, and H. W. Rice, of Desmoine., were instantly killed in south lewa whil. attempting to cross the railroad track. They stepped out of a south bound train and were struek by a north bound train. They were laborers employed in packing-houses. CLEVELAND IN DANCER. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 15.—When the Kansas Oity, Fort Scott & Gulf train, preceding presidential train, arrived at the trestle between Bonner- ville and Jonesbdra, Ark., yest>erdav, the engineer discovered the trestle to be on fire. A correspondent who happened to be on the train made a careful examination of the burned timbers, whioh gave unmistakeable evidence of an attempt at train wrecking. The fire was started on the underside of the oross tie. in suoh a manner that then can be no possible belief that tha sparks were the cause of it Further examination showed that the torch had been applied' to eight or nine of the. timbers. There are many good reasons for believing that the fiends who aet fire to this trestle had in mind the president's special train which- was- to be the noxt one over the road after the train which discovered the fire. Every trainman whose opinion the correspondent asked on the matter said freely that he bad no doubt the intention was to wreck the president's train. NORTHERN PACIFIC MATTERS. ' New York, Oct. 16. -President Harris said to-day concerning tha n- port of radical changes to be made in the Northern Pacific's management: "So far as I am' McfcHiS'-I waa elected one of. thirteen: direotomat the recent annual meeting and I intend to serve the fair term. Tha directors made me president, but of course I would resign if the board wishod to put another man in my place. There ia no movement in that direction so far as I mm informed. The reported consolidation with tha Wisconsin Central is without foundation. We are on good terms, but than is no reason why the Northern Pacific should buy or lease any railroad to Chicago when wa have a terminal at the head of lake Superior. ANOTHER OKI ANTIC CANAL. Ottawa, Oct. 15.—Tha Conservative government hon is kept in ofllce by keeping electors busy with publio works. This system of sapping the resources bf the country keep. Sir John Macdonald in power and is not allowed to flag. The cabinet, after mature consideration, haa determined to begin shortly another moat important undertaking, which was broached as far back as 1833. They an going to utilize the valley of the River Trent to connect Lakes Huron and Ontario by a canal that will shorten the. present route from head of St fit Law* rence to Mackinaw Straits, a distance of 850 miles to 750 miles. Tha estimated cost will be {10,000,000. Tha Trent is a large river dischirgiug into the Bay of Quinto at a point 08 miles west of Kingston, and in passing from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron by tbe proposed route a vessel would ascend tho River Trent, oross Ryo Lake to Ottanabee river, and clear Buckhom, Oliemong, Pigeon, Sturgeon, Cameron and Balsam Lakes, theuee by canal to Talbot River into Lake Simcoa, and by River Severn to Lake Huron. THIS AFTERNOON'S DESPATCHES. ANOTHER OADLE PROJECT. San Francisco, Oot. 15.—A project is on foot hen to lay a submarine cable to Farallene Islands, 23 miles west of this port in the Pacific Ocean.

IS, Tbe TrausitaclRe Line. Having obtained a satisfactory subsidy for the Pacific steamship line from the imperial government, the 0. P. R. Co. is now making arrangements to place suitable steamers of its own on the route. Sir Georgo Stephen will shortly leave for England in pursuance of this seheme. Tho Montreal Star says that there are to be three steamers, built after the most approved pattern, capablo of making 18 miles tn hour, and being about 4,000 tons burden. One of the conditions of the imperial subvention is that the vessels shall be constructed according to a pattern that shall meot the approval of the British admiralty, and be available for imperial service in case of war. It is promised that they shall be in every respect flrst- olass, and equal to any steamship afloat. The placing of these fine steamers on the route between this province and Ohina will be an event of great importance to Oanada as well as to the 0. P. B. The steamers now on tlie transpacific line are obviously unsuitable in many respects. Their passenger accommodation is extremely limited and of a kind that is not calculated to promote travel, and they are too slow for the times. With high-class steamers running in connection with the 0. P. R. we mny expect to seo a very large increase in passenger travel to and from China and Japan, and whatever benefit there is to be obtained from this trade will fall into tbe hands of our own people instead of going to foreigners. This arrangement will also considerably augment British shipping on the Pacific. Hitherto the great bulk of the carrying trade of the North Pacific has been dono in American vessels, but the day may not be far off when the British fleets will cover the Pacific as they now cover tbe Atlantic. It is also announced again that the 0. P. lt. Oo. will put a new line of fast steamships on the Atlantic to run in connection with the railway, and that the journey {rom London to Yokohama will be made in 24 days! Good News. It is stated that an arrangement haa been reached at lost between the Dominion government and the government of this province whereby patents will at once be issued to settlers on the lands known as the Sumas Dyking lands. These lands are in Chilliwhack municipality, and are among the richest and most valuable agricultural lands in the' province. The area is very large, bat a considerable portion of it is subject to overflow. It is believed that the extent of the overflow may be considerably reduced by dyking, but hitherto the settlers have been discouraged from attempting any extensive public enterprises because of the uncertainty surrounding their titles to the land. Our readers are aware that the ownership of these lands is claimed by both governments, and the question of right has not yet been settled. Af arrangement has been made, however, to issue joint titles to holders, and these titles will not be affected by any proceedings between the two . governments respecting the right of administration. The adjustment of this embarrassing question removes one of the greatest hindrances to the development of this district, and we may look at once for signs of substantial improvement. The good agricultural lands of this district are being rapidly taken up, and before many years it will be diffioult to And a piece of unoccupied land fit for cultivation. There an several instances, however, where people are holding a great deal more land than they can develop to advantage, and in some cases they seem unwilling to accept anything like a reasonable figure for their idle property. This policy retards the progress of settlement, and interferes with tho production of wealth, and ia contrary to the publio interest During the presont season a great many new settlers have located in the district of Westminster, and it is probable the immigration next year will be quite as large as it ever has been. The putting of the Sumas dyking lands on the market will be an event of real importance, and we hope it may be the means of securing to us a large number of good settlers who will add materially to the productiveness and wealth of the province. The Viotoria Times intimates that tho arrangement above referred to is one oi the results of the provincial sec- reUry'i visit to Ottawa. If this be true, the mission may fairly be pro- munoed a moat successful one, even ii it should accomplish nothing more; and the illnatured and vindictive remarks of the Guardian will have heen proved to be entirely uncalled for—if, indeed, any suoh proof ii needed.

Dyspeptic1 Why She liirl'usfil. You say you wont to tho party last night and you saw Mrs. Smith, an old friend, whom you had not scon since sho and your sister were ut school together. Vou had a very pleasant tulk until supper, whon you gavo hor your arm and took her to supper. When aome ono came along with a few glasses of wine on a waiter and offered her a glass, you saw her shudder as she said "No!" and you wonder why Mrs. Smith, who didn't need to be so particular about such things, not only refused, but Bhuddorod when she said " No!" You cannot toll why! I can toll why. You went on with your talk and a little flirtation, did you? I won't say you didn't. Sho was vory gay, and seemed very glad to forget herself, did she? Very well, I am very glad that you gave her that hour of. tho evening. I can toll you where she went after the party was over. She went home—the latest person from the party. She was glad it wns late, for her husband had not come homo. She sat and rend for an hour and her husband did not come. She wrote for an hour and hor husband did not come. Sho sat at the piano for an hour but he did not como. At length, between 3 and 4 o'clock, there was a noise at the door, and two policemen held him in their arms. She knows them both woll by this time. It happens so often that she knows evory policeman on the beat. They hade her good-night. She had locked her child's room that he might not abuse him. Sho took tho abuse as be flung himsolf on the bed. She dragged off his neck-cloth and coat, and sat there until ho should fall into a stupid sleep. She is the woman who rofusod the glass of wine with a shudder. You thought she was gay and bright. I know hor Btory because I am her minister. They havo a sort of skeleton in the closet, which wo are permitted to soo and you are not. And whon we see that skeleton, do you wonder that we sometimes say pretty sharp things about moderate drinking, and the temptations offered at parties ?—Heir. E. E. Hale. .—. . . Beer and Health. A pamphlet sent out a few mouths ago by tho "literary bureau" of tho United States Brewers' Association, claiming exceptional good health and longevity for men employed in breweries and heavy beer-drinkers, called forth the following noteworthy reply, published in tho Iitrmrmice Monitor: "Thomaun's pamphlet, published in this oity a short time ago in the interest of tho brewers, in which it wns attempted to prove by statistics that boor-drinking is healty, has called out the following criticism from Dr. Bom- baugh, whose long experience as a a medical examiner enables him to speak from the book: Thomanu simply proves whnt he did not start out to prove—that the robust mon employed in the breweries, who drink from forty to fifty glasses of beer daily, remain in robust health for somo years by virtue of their large umount of vital force and tenaoity; not by virtue of beer, but in spito of it. We have closely watched the heavy beer-drinker in this community, with referonce to their mortality ratio, for moro than twenty years, and our observations Bhow that out of evory hundred who saturate themselves in this immoderate way, not -more than five pass the age of fifty-three. Those that escnpo Bright'a disease or uriirinic poisoning become victims of cirrhosis, or fatty degeneration, or cryBipelas, or apoplexy. One or othor of theso fatal diseases invariably gives tho finishing touch to the 'splendid physique,'about which Thomson rants, long before the period of natural expectation." Alarm of the Liquor Dealers. The St. Louis Olobe-Democrat, commenting upon the plans of tho liquor men to defeat prohibition, says: "The alarm which has boon manifested by tho loading liquor dealers throughout tho country recently is ono of tho most significant and oncouraging signs of tho times. Representatives of tho whiskey interest rcalizo at Inst that their industry is in peril, and aro taking measures to protect themselves. During nearly all the years whioh hnvo intervened* bo*t'ween the timo of the organization of the first temperance society in the United States and the early portion of tbe present year, tho liquor men considered themselves masters of the situation. It iB probable, to be sure, thnt they felt some fear when the early crusades ugainst the rum evil were inaugurated ubout half a century ago, but that emotion was successfully transformed into con- tompt, amusement and indifference ae they realizod their own powers nnd the weakness of their foes. But all this has been changed since tho beginning of the present year. The old arrogance und swagger has departed, nnd in its place lias appeared a decided manifestation oi dread at the perils by whioh they havo Buddonly found themselves confronted," Dr. Prudden says that an ordinary glass of water may contain hundreds of thousands of bacteria, but nobody should quit water on thnt account and take up with the other thing. A bushel of bacteria in his stomach will play far less havoo with a man's natural history than ever so small a snake ih his boot.—Washington Clitic. -. . . — Tho name of a certain liquor-selling firm in a certain town suggested to a wag who conveniently dropped his "ha" that "the business of tho 'ouse wns to make cash di stew-'arts."

Oulldutited to tlie Frontier. A French traveller in this country lost mimmer gave an account of a visit which ho paid tn Russia, to illustrate tlio milliner in which the government of the G'iinr giionls and preserves its power. In 1803, Monsieur de B. (an elder brother of the narrator) spent some time in Russia, and on returning to Franc i published an account of his travels, with' some stringent comments on the condition of the lower classes. The book was, of course, prohibited in Russia, mil had but a limited circulation in Franco. lt Ion;,' ago dropped out of public notice. In 18S3, just twenty years lut i-, Iii; younger brother of the author, in making a tour through Europe, came to fit. Petersburg. "I arrived," ho said, "at night and was driven to a hotel. The: next morning un officer in a gorgeous uniform called on me, and after an introduction and most ceremonious salutations, said,— "Your name, I believe, ia Monsieur de B ?" • ''Yes." —— "Fromo tho province ol —, tn France?" ..'._.„ I assented. "A kinsman, it may be," with a still moro profound bow, "of Monsieur de B , who, in 1803, published a certain voluiii i entitled ?" giving the name. "lie ii my brother," I replied. "What ot that ?' "Nothing. But I have the honor to bo detailed to conduct monsieur to Mental." "But I am not going to Memel 1 I am going to travel through Russia." "Pardon," with extrennjsuavity, "Monsieur is going to Memel by the noon train, and tliesn gentlemen and I will bear yon company.'' He opened the door; two gendarmes were in the corridor. It was useless to resist. Heaccompan- ied me to the tralivsat beside me that I might not apeak to any other person, was civil, but a jailer. At Minuel be took leave of me, with the utmost courtesy.

I had frequently noticed that when engaged iu deep' thought, jiarticulary at night, there seemed lo be something like a compression ol the eyelids, the upper one, especially, and Uio eyes themselves were apparently turned upward, as ii looking iu that direction. This invari- ubly oi'cured; and tlie moment Ihat, by uu effort, f arrested the course of thought, uud lived the mind from the subject Willi which it was engaged, Uur eyes rumiiiitTd tlieir natural position und thu compression of tli j lide ceased. Now, it occurred to me one ulght that I would not allow tlie eyes to turn upward, but kept them deleriiiiuedly in the opposite position, us if looking down; and having done so (or u short time 1 found that tho mind dirl uot r.-wrt to the thoughts with which It hid been occtiiiiod, and I soon fell inrlei'p, I tried tup plan again, with the n.mi- result; and lifter an experience of t rrr years 1 cun truly say thut, unless v.

Every girl should be anxious to leurn plain cookingand plain sewing, not that she may devote bar exclusive attention to them, but becauso they are in general more valuable than any other accomplishment she can lean In the aame time and with the aame ease. ..:!_ 1 ■ BHBVITIEB. ...'ij: » I/Iathxr chair seats may be revived by rubbing them with well beaten white of egg.

Ska Mt for Victoria this morning at 7 o'eloek, taking 10 tons of hay and 1000 boxes of salmon from Ladner's Landing. The salmon catch took a better turn last night and the boats averaged over 60 each; som* of the boats brought in as many as 70 Ish. In spite of all predictions to the contrary, the run is keeping op well, and those who ought to know say the oohoes will be caught In paying numbers until the first of December. Tha following extraordinary yields an reported from Ladnet's Landing: At English's, from one acre and one- eighth of potatoes over 900 bushels wen harvested, not counting tho small potatoes, which amounted to 65 bush- ell. Off first crop, at Shsrpe's, 58 tons of otti—8,411 bushels Canadian measure—were threshed from 20 acres of land,—Timet, . • A roving eow has been doing great damage lately by destroying plants and shrubs in various gardens throughout tlio city.

Two firoB occurred at Victoria yesterday. In the afternoon the Gordon Hotel, on Johnson St., was burned with nearly all its contents; und nt 0:30 p. m, Mrs. Morris' boot and shoe storo, adjoining tho Grant! Pacific Hotel, was burnt. Tlio loss in both cases was considerable. New Trial Refused. The application for a 'new trial in the case of Judge Walkeni vs. Higgins, for libel, has boon refused by tlio court. It will bo remembered that the jury gave Judge Wnlkem $2,500 damages, which the defendant considered excessivo under the circumstances. It is said an appeal will bo taken to the supremo court of Canada. The Tribal War. Acting on the principle that prevention is better than cure, Supt. Roycraft took such measures ob were deemed nocccssary to protect tho Simpson Indians from being attacked by tho Salmon tribe which was supposed to be awaiting them at Seymour Narrows, as stated in yesterday's Column ax The Indians are to be accompanied by an armed escort until tho point of supposed danger has been passed. Salmon shipments. The steamer Western Slope is being put into repair for tho purpose of transporting salmon from tlio various canneries along tho rivor to Victoriu. In all about 25,000 coses will bo taken over, whioh will form part of the car- go of a vessel about to commence loading for London, Eng. Tho Western Slope will only make three or four trips and will then be replaced by tbe str. Rithet when the str. Louise goes on this routu again. Pack Opera Co. The very large and respectable audience which welcomed the Puck Comic Opera company in the Calgary Theatre last night were mightilly pleased with the entertainment. The company is by all odds the best that has visited Calgary; thoir performances are as springhtly and pleasing as ono could desire. They are artists, evory one, and thoroughly understand thoir business. "Fun on Shipboard" is a conglomeration of burlesque, comedy, opera and tragedy, and consequently pleases every taste.— Ileridd. . Incorrect as isaal. The Guardian tltis morning announces that freight arrivals per C.P.R. havo been light for tlie past few days. Our cotemporary is mistaken as usual, but if ho had paid us much attention to our railway items as to our general news when making up his local column, tho mistake would not have occurred. Instead of being light this week, the arrivals of freight have been very heavy, and when the returns are made out thoy will bo found to bo almost equal to any provious week, and fully double thoso of last week. Close Season. The closo season for trout commenced on October first and will continue until December thirty - first. The closo season for trout is the same in this province as in other parts of the Dominion; this is a mistake, for the trout arc at their very best during the time fishing is prohibited. It is not until after the middle of January they commenco to grow bad, and under Uie presont law thoy spawn during the open season. We understand an effort will be mado to have the close season changed, us it is utterly useless at present for the purpose intonded. . Bomewnrd Hound, Tho Indians, who havo boen working tor the canneries all summer, are being paid off and are returning to their villages up theooast. Their wages have averaged (2.25 per day since the season opened, the greator part nf which hss been spent tn this eity in purchasing supplies and clothing for the winter. Several canoo loads of these Siwashes left for the northern coast and the island to-day,in every case loaded to the water's edge with almost every conceivable kind of merchandise. The Indians are ull welt pleased with their soasim's work and are returning home in the best of spirits. They will spend tiro winter in hunting and trapping, which in some oases is almost ss profitable as salmon fishing. nighly Approved* No article that has appeared in the Columbian for a long time seoms to hnvo mot with suoh general favor and commendation us tho one relating to the council's resolution uf thanks to tlio Victoria "champion" of Westminster's rights. Wo luivo received iiiiiny expressions of approval, and some of them have como from very unexpected quarters. Tho action of the council in this matter, so far as wo have beon ablo to ascertain public opinion, is universally condemned, nud many peoplo arc Jlllswlod to find tin explanation of tho singular occcntiicity of n body of citiirons whoso acts aro usually governed by common sense. The Stcvcuso-t Ledge. Mr. O. G. Ballantyno, of Viotoria, arrived down from Hopo last evening on the steamer Irving. Ho has just eamo over tho mountains from Granite Crook, whero for some timo he has been looking nftcr his interets iu the Stevenson ledge of which he owns the northern extension. Mr. Ballantyno states most emphatically that tlie Stevenson ledge has been found, and it is equal to all that"wos expected of it. Ho brings with him COO lbs. of vory fine ore which will be sont to San Francisco to be melted. Tho ore was not chosen for it richness, but is a fair sample of the ledge. Mr. Ballantyno describes the ledge as 3 ft 6 in. wide and easy for working. As to the richness of the ore no one seems to have the slightest doubt, and if present prospects hold out, the owners of the ledge have a bonanza.

It was in no manner a joyous leaving, except that tho weather was perfect. The atmosphere was clear and bracing, and a twonty-milo-an-hour breeze was blowing from tho north-west. Thero were few yachts or spectators about the scene, and little in the way of a "sond- ott" was given to the defeated cutter. As the yacht filled away on the port tack and began Iter run down the bay, the colors on tho Corinthian Yacht Olub house were dipped, salutes were fired on the. steiunyacht Hindu and sloop Vision, and two or threo of tho dozen watermen on shore waved their huts.
