Wit friiialt €olttlnbi-tn. Saturday Horaliiir, »epl. 8, 1883. Pilot Boards, We endorse fully tho sentiment ot tbo following article from tlio Nanaimo Free Press of Saturday. The same tactics pursued at Nanai mo were tried with tho pilot board of New Westminster and Burrard Inlet. The board, however, bad no difficulty in distinguishing tbo book so deftly covered by the bait, and declined to bite. Wo hope the pilot board of Viotoria will learn from these facts that any further efforts at centralizing pilotage authority must be fruitless. The Free Press Bays: Previous to the year 1879 the pilotage business of British Colum- . bia was managed by a board of commissioners at Victoria, with two members on tbe board nominally representing Nanaimo. and Burrard Inlet, Tbe'outside mombors wero nonentities, for tbo simple reason that thoy would receive notices to attend meetings several days after tbe meeting had been held. In 1879 the pilotage authorities of Nanaimo and New Westminster were created, thus curtailing tbe authority of the Victoria board to where it rightly belonged, viz., to Viotoria and Esquimalt harbors. The separate boards havo given vory general satisfation in their respective districts, but Victoria has always felt sore about losing hot- grip over thb pitotago matters' of British Columbia, and bus endeav: ored by every means in ber powor to harass and annoy tho pilotage boards of Nanaimo and Now Westminster, by urging outside pilots to bring vessels into Nanaimo and Burrard Inlet, in opposition to the pilots of those districts. Sinco 1879 the shipping interests (so far as pilotsgo is concerned) of Victoria have been gradually dwindling away until there is now no excuse for keeping a starl" of pilots, or a secretary on a large salary. Mr. E. C. Baker, member for Victoria, and the secretary of the Viotoria pilot- ago authority, made a very strong ' attempt in the House of Commons last session to do away with tho separate board system, and return to tho former plan of one board for tbe entire province, with headquarters at Victoria, and himself no doubt retained iu the lucrative position of secretary. As most of our readers aro aware that Rchoine was strenuously opposed by Mr, J. A. R. Homer, member for Now Westminster, and Mr. D. W. Gordon, member for Vancouver, and it fell still born. Nothing daunted by that failure, und with an energy worthy of a better cause, the Victoria board, no doubt in responso to the sauvo arguments of thoir secretary, as well as their own wish to have again full control of pilotage matters in tho province, has made a proposition to amalgamate, consolidate or reciprocate tbe threo boards into ono. In plain Anglo-Saxon tho proposition means that the pilot boards of Nanaimo and New Westminster shall "throw up the sponge" and allow the Victorians to manago their business. - Tho proposition is couched in language that makes it appear plausible only on tho principle tbat a nauseous pill is pleasant to tako by being liberally coated . with some sweet ■ condiment. It makes no difference to tho consequences. It is with pleasure that we find ourselves in n position to state that the Nanaimo pilotage authority has unanimously and emphatically decidod to reject tho cool proposition, and thus politely inform the Victorians tlmt Nanaimo- ites aro quite competent to manage their own affairs, without any assistance from the capital. As we bare already stated, the present separate system gives genoral satisfaction, except to a few pilots who would like to reap the bcueiit of the large amount of shipping that Hilda its way to Nanaimo and Burrard Inlet, and one Or two other persons who would liko pleasant and easy situations with handsome salaries and a gold watch occasionally. The dissatisfied pilots cast their lot with Viotoria, and if the shipping of that ' port has been reduced to a stray ship or two that is their misfortune but net onr fault This last proposition is but one of the constant attempts tbat aro boing mado to centralize everything at Victorin. Tho day of Victoria's supremacy iu dictating to the provinco is over, nnd the capital now finds that the other business centres aro beginning to make thoir influence felt. We havo not space in this nrticlo to review the effect an amalgamation would have in increasing the pilotage rates to Nanaimo, or its effect generally. Tho stake must bo it heavy one, fur tho proposition was forwarded on the 24th ultimo, nnd four days afterwards Mr. E. 0. Baker, M. P. for Victoria, and secretary of tbo Victoria pilot board, made a personal visit to this eity The British Columbian. VOLUME 24 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1883. NUMBER 20 and spent Several hours ii^tryiiig to persuade the members, "or the Nanaimo board to accept tho proposition. We would not like to my that the secretary was financially interested in the success oj^ the scheme, but our readers can draw their own conclusions 'from the premises. ., Crop Reports. STATE OF CROPS IN THE UNITED STATES. Washington, Aug. 10, — August cotton returns to the Department of Agriculture are lcaa favorable than in July. Tho condition is lower in every Stato except Virginia and Tennessee. The plant is suffering from raeteorolo* gical vagaries of this peculiar season. Corn shows an improvement iu appearance during July' in New England, Middle States, Ohjo Valley, ana west of the Mississippi. In Illinois, Missouri, aud Kansas it is slight. There has been a retrograde in the south in consequence of drought and some do- cliue in Michigan from too much moisture, Taking the wholo area the condition has advanced from 88 to 80 per cent, of a perfect crop. The returns indicate that the yield is not muoh over 25 bushols to the acre or seventeen hundred million1 bushels, which is ob much as produced in 70. The condition Is C points higher than lost year. The crop is late owing to cool nights, and fears aro expressed that frost may yet cause . disaster. Spring wheat, average condition 07, tho samo as in 1882, but higher than any previous August since 77. The prospect in Minnesota favors a crop of 13& bushels per iicj-o. The fears excited by the excessive heat early in July in Northern Dakota have beeu dispelled. The returns do not essentially change tlie indicated aggregate for the entire crop. It is certain that a shoriago exists whioh will require ull the surplus of last year and keep prices well sustained. A despatch from the London statistical agent says that tlio wheat market is advancing, and stocks are large. Tho quality of the new crop is fnia. The total output of European wheat? will bo a fifth loss than lust year and a tenth bolow tho -average The. oats condition are 100, a figure surpassed only by last August since 1878. Barley, average condition, 05, the same as in August, 1832, but higher than any previous year sinco 1874. Potato returns indicate u condition of 101. Buckwheat average equals last yen; condition, 00. Tobacco, average condition, 88. DRS. M-INNES & MATHERS. Ofllce, Columbia St., opp. the Postofflce OPEN DAY & NIGHT. DRS. WELSH & HENDERSON (Scientific iHist'ell-mj*. BENT1STS. Office over D. S.

Dieulafait has concluded that the evaporation of sea water in the region of tho Rhone delta must average —at tho lowest estimate—about one- fourth of an inch a day throughout the year. Remarkable disturbances have been reported from a mountain, near Czerno- witz, Austria. Tho ground around tho mountain's baso has opened in wide and deep chasms, and many buildings near tho spot have been thrown down. The Chinese make use of lire-crackers for frightening away tlio demons by which a siok person is supposed to bo tormented, or wliich crowd around people at the hcyiliuiiig of a new year, it being a popular belief among this superstitious race that tho evil spirits ovorywhore* inhabiting tho air are dispersed by crackling noises attended by firo and smoke. Herr Helferieh reports u case in which the removal of a tumor from a woman's arm took away noarly the whole upper half of the biceps muscle. A largo pteco of tho biceps fiom tho leg of a dog was promptly and carefully transplanted in the cavity, At tho ond of three mouths tho transplanted muscle reacted naturally under the influence of electricity, while tho movements of the arm woro almost normal. In a paper read bofore tho Geneva Hygienic Congress, Dr. Dally hns maintained that tlio deformities of peoplo • may usually be traced to tho positions in which they were kept while at school. That children are as n rule well-formed at tho commencement of sohool lifo is indicated by tho researches of Dr, ChnuBsier, who found that only 122 out of 23,200 newly-born infants examined hy hiin possessed abnormal peculiarities df any kimi Among the hydrographio operations attempted by tho British navy in 1882 was a survoy of the coasts uf Corea, the little Asiatio country whoso opposition to foreign civilization and commerce has caused It tu bco-jiuu known as tho hermit kingdom. A report of llio survoy shows that tho best anchorage near Seoul, the capital, is twenty- three miles away from that city, and can only be reached through a labyrinth of islands extending fifty miles out from the port. Mr. James Pcarson, F. R. A. S., states that n singular circumstance tikes place in the tides of the Solont, tho narrow channel separating tho Isle of Wight from England. The first tide arrives from the westward and brings high wator, after which it begins to ebb, Dut soon after this, tho portion of the tfde which had been circulating round tho Isle of Wight finds its way into tho samo basin, and the water begins to rise again, thus exhibiting the phenomena of four tides in a day. A series of experiments lias boen made by Messrs. Vigier, Labordo and Rondeau upon tho effects of compounds of buracio acid when used for preserving food. TJie results prove that pure boriicto acid is not injurious, even in large doses; hut it must be quite free frum suits of alumina and lead, and frum carbonate of sudn, the impurities generally present in commercial borax. Dorado acid is so long retained in tho system that it is believed lo bo well adapted to combat infectious diseases, Joseph Rusan, Percy, wrltosi "1 was Induced to try Dr. Thomas' Eelectric Oil for a lamonoss which troubled nio for three or four years, and I found it the bcBt aitielo I evor used.

The CWonttl returns to the boundary railway matter, but puts forward no fresh argument whatever. The Cobnist thinks it would be perfectly absurd to allow railways in British Columbia whicli might possibly divert traffic from the 0. F. R, because the C. P. R. has been subsidized by the nation. This is certainly a most extraordinary argument Wo have certainly subsidized the C. P. K. most liberally, bat the road is now the property of a private company who will undoubtedly realize millions on their contract, and who are entitled to no mon generosity than thoir bargain secures. If we are to be shut up to one. railway and compelled to give it our patronage on its own terms, the Colonist muBt see how completely we shall be placed at the ineroy of a monopoly. No journalist who has at heart the commercial interests of British Columoia could honestly advocate such a doctrine, snd we cannot persuade ourselves that the Colonist has been prompted by motives either honest or patriotic in the matter. We maintain that it Is the true interest of the people of British Columbia to encourage the construction of all the railways they can obtain, and thus promote the internal development of the province and Becnre for it the best possible commercial advantages. But we do not recede from our previous declaration that the construction of the boundary railway would have a tendenoy to increase the trade of theC. P. R instead of diminishing it. Against this declaration the Colonist has not ventured to put forward any argument whatever. There is no pretext of justice or policy upon whioh the boundary railway bill could be disallowed; and if the decision of the federal government is adverse, the people of the mainland will he very apt to conclude that the government have been deceived or else that their policy is too muoh controlled by the 0. P. R. It is no secret nbout here that the 0. F. B. moj themselves build a branch from the main line across the boundary, and that f will make a second Pacific terminus at Bellingham Bay. If they, find - it to their interest to do so, it will undoubtedly be done. Would the Colonist, in that event, defend the company or the province! and would the Dominion government permit such a line to cross the boundary) We shall see. especially Victoria) has Wen Very highly favored. Mr; Bolo meant his statements to lib as a grievance against the present government, whereas, as a matter ot fact, the onus clearly belonged to their predecessors. But the misapplication does not change the facts, and we are glad to know that the government now propose that the facts shall be changed. Three hundred and forty thousand dollars judiciously expended ought to make auch change as will be easily perceived. Dr. Stephen, Director-General of the German Imperial Postal and Telegraphic Department, heartily enjoys a joke, even at his own expense. Recently on a tour of inspection be en- tored the telegraphic office at Dlrsohau, just in time to catch the operator receiving, an official deapatoh from Berlin reading: — "Be on your guard. Stophen is on the rampage. He puts his nose into everybody s pie," The Director-General laughed heartily and then ordered the oporator to telegraph back to Berlin:—"Too late. Nose is already in my pie." » —i The editor of London Truth writing of Tom Thumb, says:—"Whon Tom came over to England, having married ny sister of OonimodoreNc" T* viled the hap] a tiny sister of Commodore Nutt, I in- .ir to dinner. Tom was very dignified, and Mrs. Stratton was a remarkably agreeable lady. She had then a baby, and it was funny to hear her talk of this child in a superb matronly fashion. Their only trouble about their diminutive size was, they said, that they had to dress as children when they went out walking to escapo observation." No English fortunes have ever been accumulated by individuals in England equal to thoso of Stewart and Vanderbilt. The largest personalty was that of Mr. Brassey, the great railroad contractor, $30,000,000. The next largest was that of Mr. Morrison, dry-goods, $20,000,000, with real estate equal to some $2,600,000 moro. Tho Duke of Westminster's roality can fall littlo short of $100,000,000, but his father only left $4,000,000 personalty, and this included a famous collection of pictures. THE BRITISH COLUMBIA Mainland Compensation. One of the things which seems to have been settled beyond question at the public meeting in this city is that the whole of the dock money is to be spent in publio improvements on the mainland. Mr. Orr emphati cally declared that tha government had pledged themselves to this, and the provincial secretary said it had been deliberately decided upon in cabinet, without any outside pressure, and that decision would be faithfully oarried out This fact is very gratifying. It shows in the first place that the present government, unlike most of their predecessors, have some kind of just conception of the claims of the mainland, and that the cabinet is not a Vancouver Island institution. It proves to us that those members of the govern, ment who represent mainland constituencies, but reside (necessarily) in Victoria, have been true to their constituents. The present cabinet is composed of two mainland representatives and fv.-o from the island, and at the time o! its formation some of the opposition organs declared that it was an "island cabinet." The voluntary act of Betting aside the $840,000 dock money to be expended wholly on the mainland, in addition to onr fair proportion of the ordinary revenue, seems to ub sufficient to dispose of that declaration. But it is said, we have not . got this money, and perhaps we shall never get it. Well, wt have a majority of votes and constituencies, and the government which could deliberately violate Biich a promise may certainly expect to find the balance of power against them. If the people of tho mainland are true to themselves they hold their destiny in their own hands The expenditure of this large amount of money on permanent improvements should undoubtedly make a considerable change in the aspect of affairs. Wa agree fully with some things stated by Mr. Bole at the publio meeting. It it a fact patent to everybody that roads on the mainland are in a moat unsatisfactory condltitrj, and that in this respect tha Mttled portion of Vancouver Island, WILL HOLD THEIH EXHIBITION IN THE NEW AGRICULTURAL HALL AT—- New Westminster, B.

From a gentleman just from the Kootenay country, the Portland -Standard has the following budget of news:. Chief Engineer Roger, at the head of the Canadian Paoifio Railway surveying party, is in the country." One division of his party has already fully explored the region lying beyond the I two arms of the Columbia river, where j the' road will .pass over the Selkirk range and through what is known as Kicking Horse Pass, along the course of Beaver and Moberly rivers. The result of thb exploration is a matter of great surprise to the chief engineer. This gentleman expected to encounter very great difficulties, though not so great as the builders wore certain to meet'with in the first mapped out route around the bend of. the river. The difficulties of Kicking Horse Pass are comparatively nothing, and the work will bo piuhed very rapidly, once tho force crosses the river. The Kootenay and Columbia River Railway and Navigation Company has ordered a second small steamer which is to be used in navigating Kootenay river and the lakes,, during the examination; or rather the exploration of the region by the advance foroe of survey* ors. In addition to this tiie company has opened up a wagon rood between the Northern Pacific, at Sand Poipt, and Bonner's Ferry, for the purpose of transporting the machinery for the new stoamer to tho latter point. In the prosecution of this vast enterprise, tho capitalists interested are showing that they realize What has been under* taken; and a determination to carry it forward to a successful issue. The results of this enterprise in developing the mineral, timber and agricultural interests of this domain wiil materially affect and further the prosperity of the Pacific Northwest. Ilie scheme will make quite all of tho territory south of the international line tributary to Portland. Regarding tho enterprise of reclaiming the lands on the Kootenay river, mentioned some time ago as being in the hands of an English company, it is reported that very, little is anticipated owing to the fact that the scheme appears to be in the hands of a young man who is not backed by any man with capital. In foot, the man seems to have cut a wide swathe upon mere pretensions. He has succeeded in becoming a full-fledged justice of the peace at Bonner's Ferry, and has1 issued a fire proclamation. Reports from the mines at Kootenay ore very flattering. The yield this season has been much better than anticipated. The outloolj is very promising indeed. The Rook on which many a constitution goes to pieces is Dyspepsia. The loss of vigor which this disease involves, the maladies which accompany it, or whieh are agravated by it, the mental despondency which it entails, are terribly exhaustive of vital stamina. 'Its tnib specific is Northrop .ft Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure, which likewise overcomes bilious maladies, female ailments, and those coupled with impurity of the blood. Ths Archbishop of Canterbury, has discovered in London whole families employed in making match boxes for four and a half cents a gross and who receive only eight cents for making an ulster. Tbe First Presbyterian Church in Victoria took fire at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and suffered damage to the extent of about $3,000. The fire is . believed to have been tho work of an incendiary. There was a slight shower of rain on Thursday night, but not sufficient to lay the dust It had the effect of clearing the atmosphere somewhat, however, and yesterday one could soe across the river. The English parcels post is a great convenience. Washing can be sent by it to the country, gamo can bo sent from the country to the town, snd small-pox and itch can be transported from one point to .another with gnat facility. A party of bicyclists havo, been traveling through the country districts of Russian Poland. They created great excitement among the rural population, who followed them in crowds along the roads, and regarded them with superstitious awe. Th* steamers on the river have been making regular trips, with the exception of ths Slope. She got aground, near ths mouth of the rivor on her down trip lost Tuesday night, and has not yet returned. She la oxpected from Victoria to-night, Mr. Sandford Fleming, accompanied by his son and Prinoipal Grant, left Winnipeg on the 20th ult., for Viotoria, via Kicking Horso Pass. The object of his visit is to arrange for laying a cable between Japan and British Columbia, a stretch of 4,000 miles. Tho telephone companies now doing business In the United States, under. grants from the Bell Telephone Corn- ' pany, have an aggregate capitalisation of nearly 1100,000,000, -which is about tne aggregate capitalization of ths Western Union Telegraph Company. It is admitted by common consent that the provincial agricultural show bills just issued from the Columbian printing establishment aro the handsomest specimens of colored poster work ever exeouted In British Columbia. And it is worthy of remark that they cost leu than the plain postors printed Rt Victoria last year.

The paid up capital of the banks fn June, 1850, was $17,- 588,000; in April, 1883, it had reached 954,700,000. The circulation in 1858 was only $7,800,000; in 1883 it had increased, including Dominion notes, to 835,500,000. The deposits in June, 1858, were 89,100,000, and hi 1883 thoy had increased to 9133,000,000.

The volumo of trade in 1850 was 940,000,000; in 1808 it had increased'to 9130,000,000; and in 1882 to about 9210,000,000. The trade uf Canada in 1881 was larger in proportion to population than that of the United States, while the shipping, again in proportion to population, was moro than four times as large. These* were facts whioh marked the progress of Canada,.showing that no people had, during a like period, mado greater strides. ^-Scottish American, .June 1, '83. Delta council.

Editor Columbian.—In the Mainland Guardian of Sept. lst there is a false and scurrilous article headed "Common-Decency Outraged," and signed "Junius," in answer to which I ask you to insert what I now write. I was one of-those who on Sunday last drove 5 head of beef cattle along the road by Tronsnt Church whilst the congregation were assembled. Ono of our party remarked, "Let us drive quietly as 'tis church time," whioh was strictly adhered to, One horseman went ahead to turn cattle from going over the bridgo, and the others. followed behind cattle, neither cattle or men going to exceed IJ miles per hour, There was not a word spoken above the ordinary tone of conversation, and a whip was cracked once only. I have permission to use the names of the following gentlemen to corroborate the above, viz: Messrs. John Kirkland, J. H. Lyons, John Adair, and W. B. Adair; and those fmtlemon with one exception, (as far as can ascertain) were the only adult male attendants at the church on that day. The whip would not have been cracked had not the gateway leading to the church boon left open and tho cattle made an attempt to enter, and tho cracking of the whip stopped them. I did not own the cattle, but was merely helping a neighbor drive them to his corrall. I would like to know why such scurrilous remarks should be printed or made about a person, even if he has the affliction of losing the sight of an eye (although not tho eye itself)) for I doubt if you, who have known me for over 20 years, are awaro of my having been so afflicted; and also why I should be singled as the only one hero who does not keep the 4th Commandment. Thore are a postoffice, saloon, 8 or 0 stores, and 5 canneries within sight and hearing of said church whioh follow their different occupations without let or hindrance on all days alike, as well as steamers blowing their whistles} and nothing Is said about it. But oh I that dreadful crack of a stook whip must have been something awful. What a pity it had not fallen on the back of Junius. There is only one person in the settlement that I think would pen such an article, and. partly why I accuse him now is thstitf'a former occasion he wrote a letter to your paper about Xtnas, 1881, and "you remarked ht your following Issue 'twas unfit for publlca* tion; and he acknowledged in my house, tn presence of witnesses, that he wrote the letter.

Maokenrie, in an address before the chamber of commerce of Greenock last evening, oombatted the proposals of Sir Alex. T. Gait for a federated union, on* the ground that Canada would never submit to being ruled at London. He spoke in condemnation of the protective policy, aud predicted that Canada would soon return to free trade. He scouted the idea of separation of Canada from England. Canada would give their last man and last dollar to maintain the prestige, and power of England, Mackenzie soiled to-day for Quebec. Dublin, Aug. 30. — Parnell, in a speeoh at the Irish national league yesterday, said he could report most encouragingly of the progress of the national league movement, in America. He said he had been informed that he might after a time look for assistance from that country which would at least equal the sums received in times of urgency. He had every hope that the immigration scheme would prove successful. Thu would enable tho people to keep their promise that they would never again appeal to America for aid against famine. Nsw York, Aug. 31.—A cable special to the Sun from London gives the following additional details of the vol* canio disturbances on the island of Java. The town of Fanevang, within twenty-five miles of the city of Batavia, was swept away by lava streams. Fully one-half of the population, mostly Japanese, numbering about 1,800, perished. At Speetwyke, near Point Salcis, the red-hot lava set fire to the houses and Bwept away all Uio thickly settled portion of the town. About ten bftzaors belonging to Europeans were destroyed. Tne loss of property was Very large, but no lives were lost there. The river Jacatra, on the bank of which Batavia is situated, is so completely damaged by lava and debris that its course is changed, and from Frannier Bastion it flowed down through Tiber and joined waters with the Kiver Emerades, swelling that river to such on extent that it rose high on the battery. Figclanking was almost totally destroyed. A largo number of lives were lost there. The island of Oritts, five miles off the mouth of the Tangeranp river, twenty miles east of Batavia, is completely inundated. Tho floating dock is totally destroyed. Contave ana Fronwhem Islands, off that portion Java which disappeared, are out of sight, and not a vestige of them are left. At Batavia the loss has been largely increased since the former reports. The roof of the Governor's house was crushed in by a moss of mud, and "three retainers were killed. The town bridge was destroyed. Diamond and Peart Bastions were badly damaged and Burran Redoubt demolished. In Gaymand, . Malabar and Lion streets, the principal avenues of the city, tho damage is very great. Fort Aayti ib entirely destroyed. The town of Faggal was severly shaken, only a few buildings being left standing. A violent earthquake shock was felt on the island of Sumatra Monday forenoon, and it was feared that other disturbances might follow. Midah island, ten miles off the Japanese coast and half-way between the extreme points of Java and Sumatra, was almost wholly engulfed by the sea. A small island, Singkel, has entirely disappeared. It was uninhabited. The {legate loss of life must be fully . ,000; but the number of tliose who perished can never, of course, be accurately known. Dublin, Sept. 4.—The recent storms have almost totally destroyed grain and other crops in the south of Ireland. ..There is renewed rent agitation, consequent on the loss of crops, A general strike against rent to-night is imminent. Boards of guardians throughout Ireland demand an amendment to the land aot. London, Sept. 4;--A Bister of Captain Webb, recently drowned in an attempt to swim tne Niagara rapids, became insane when she heard of her brother's death and hor body has been found in the river at Lady Smith, Natal. A British man-of-war nos been ordered to the. straits of Sunda to make a survey of changes brought about by volcanic disturbances. Glasgow, Sept. 4.—The Irish here are much excited and scared over the report that Bernard Gallagher hod turned informer. Nino prisoners in custody on suspicion of being Fenians were examined privately to-day. All attempts at demonstrations will be suppressed, and special police precautions have been taken with a view to defeat any attempts to rescue the prisoners. Recipes for making explosive and infernal machines were discovered in the houses of Irish peasants. London, Sept. 4.—Tho Standard's Hongkong special states that 4000 Chinese troops stationed at Pakori have been ordered to the frontier. The Annamites still threaten Nagdinf. There is much excitement at Hongkong consequent upon the receipt of the news that Chinese troops are crossing Mong-Kai, This means that China has accepted the gage France has thrown down and war is inevitable. Jhk Haoub, Sept. 4.—The condition of the district of Lampong, Sumatra, is a terrible one. Everything in the district for leagues inland was destroyed. One thousand dead persona are lying on the ground, and it is impossible to approach for their interment because of the natives being furiously angered against the Dutchmen whom they hold responsible for the calamity. In one district only two persons were saved of the entire population. The excitement at Lampong U probably owing to native priests working upon the fanaticism of the people. N»w York, Sept. 4.—General Gordon, in a letter from Jafia to the Herald, says the present Chinese dynasty is menaced with utter destruction, and this result would probably change the whole aspect of European politics. Pekin is the most vulnerable inland city in tho empire, and when taken, the emperor would have to choose botween being captured by the enemy or going to central China where he would be extinguished by his own subjects. Gordon says any war between France and China would be dangerous to Franco on account of complications with England. Mr. G. W. Macully, Pavilion Mountain, B. C, writes!

For some time past an engineering project ,hau been talked of in England, which the recent failure of the-nego-l tiations botween DeLesseps and the British Government about a second Suez canal has forced into sudden prominence. This is a canal connecting tha .Mediterranean with the Red Sea by'way of the valley of* the Dead Sea and the river Jordan. It has long been known, as the result of engineering surveys, that the Dead Sea —which is itself in some places 1,300 feet deep—Ues at a distance of over 1,200 feet below the level of the Red Sea, while the Galilean Lake—the Sea of Tiberias—lies betwoen 600 and 000 feet below the level of the mediterranean. These two bodies of wator lie in the valley down which the Jordan flows from the latter to tho former, and thu valley extends southward, nearly to tho head of the Gulf of Akaba, the eastern fork of the north end of the Red Sea. How high the barrier between the Gulf of Akaba and the southern extension of the Jordan valley—known as the Wady Arabah—ia has yet to be ascertained, but if it is not too high to be out through to the sea level it is safe to say that some day it will be out, and the effect will be to let the waters of the Red Sea into the valley and to flood the latter to a great depth, _ By this means will, be created a magnificent inland sheet of navigable water, extending on the north-west to a point within 25 miles of the Bay of Acre on the Mediterranean coast bf Palestine. The cutting of a canal through these 25 miles would probably be the most serious engineering feature of the scheme, as the height of land would Have to be overcome by a out 240 feet deep. . Though this route would be more than twice the length of that aCross the Isthmus of Suez— 230, instead of 100 miles—the length of canal to be cut would be less than that of the proposed, second Suez Canal, while the work, for purposes of navigation, would be more satisfactory. It has been estimated that it would take two years to cut through the watershad of Akaba, and five to cut through tho one between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean. It has also been estimated that after the southern one is cut, and allowing for loss of wator by evaporation, it would require three years to fill the Jordan valley to the ocean level. The construction of this Jordan Volley Canal would -have some interesting results besides tbe creation of a gigantic inland sea 200 miles in length, from 600 to 2,600 feet in depth, and varying in width from six miles upward to an extent as yet unknown. Recent exploratory surveys show that the filling up of the Jordan and Dead Sea valley to the ocean level would place the site of Jerico under salt water to a depth of feet, and would cause to disappear in a similar manner many other interesting Scripture localities. The whole region traversed by the valloy is full of them, and once covered up in this way they would cease to be subjects of dispute amongst the archaeologists. How the construction of such a water-way under British auspices would affect the theories of the Anglo-Israelites remains for them to explain. How it would affect the industrial develop-. ment of Syria and Palestine Ib a more generally interesting question. That there are valuable natural resources in this part of Asia is shown by ancient history and modern exploration, and if the Turks are only sensible enough to part with their nominal ownership on reasonable terms an entirely new condition of political affairs may result from tiie construction of tbe projected canal.—Globe. - ■**■ ' ■ Searching tor Pharoah. — The announcement that Abbe Moignot had successfully carried out his scheme to explore' the Red sea and Bitter lakes of Egypt in search of the remains of Fharoah's army, which was destroyed while pursuing the Israelites, has given rise to a great deal of humor* ous conjecture and burlesquo argument, I But the scheme, after all to a scholar, and especially to the Egyptologist, is one of engrossing interest. It is by no means visionary as the superficial writers would have us believe. That there was a great exodus is now an undisputed historic fact: that the passago was made somewhere within tho geographical limit set by the sacred narrative was long ago conceded by engineers, explorers and savants, for there the conditions still exist. That an event of this extraordinary character, attested by the records of two nations, should have loft somo memorial of itself is not a chimerical idea. The 600 chariots of Pharoah may have long since been crumbled into dust, but the investigations of the pious Abbe, if conducted with scientific patience, cannot fail to be of value to the world. , .» -—--■■ Oaneatrint. a French scientist, has cut off tho heads of flies, ants, grasshoppers, and butterflies, and observed that decapitated insects retain their sensibility for a very long time.

Down the long'roads bordered by the low stone walls, which serve ta the North instead of hedge or fence; tho fresh, keen air blowing from many a breezy flat, till the scenery from being uninteresting became varied and pioturesque, growing into beauty that pleased and riveted the eye. we had been ascending gradually for somo minutes; and then we uttered a simultaneous exolamatlon at the glorious scene below and around. There lay tbe Colder flowing peacefully between its grassy banks; on either Bide park- like meadows, with trees of every shade, hue, and variety, now blending together their rich nutnmnal tints. Bete and there through the leafy foliage beeped some white house, but this was rare; no signs of life showed themselves, but some blaok cattle grouped together on the farther bank. Suddenly we stopped before a lodge, but only for a moment, and then went rapidly on through a long winding annuo. Such a glorious old avenue, now quite dark and shady from the branches meeting overhead, and now in white glades of light, with here and there a purple shadow lying on the smooth turf and bosky knolls and patches of yellow moss, and every now and then opening glimpses into shadowed dells and long grassy aisles. "This beats the Priory, Nellie,' said Dudley; and aa I nodded assent, c it gradually widened and broke into a circling line that belted in a long smooth lawn of softest turf, which ran up to the very door of a noble white- winged house, whioh already stood open for our welcome. The gray-headed butler, so respect able looking that I almost took him for a clergyman, came forward to receive us, and leading ua across the hall ushered us into a pleasant-looking room, "I will send Mrs, Arundel to show yon to your apartments, ma'am, unless yon prefer taking any refreshment. flrstr "No, thank you, we would, rather rid ourselves of the dust of the jour* ney before your master arrives,' returned Dudley, answering for me; "sc send Mrs. Arundel by all means." Mrs. Arundel arriving, proved a trim motherly-looking person in black silk, hardly as formidable as her name, who, dropping a respectful courtesy, made many kind inquiries after our comforts; and then taking Rill by the hand, bade us follow her. We passed through the noble hall with its tesselated pavement and great stained windows, and up the wide stone staircase with carved oak balustrades and quaint niches, filled up by many an armorial suit and plumed helmet, till we reached the roomy landing-place prettily fitted up with couches and flower-stands and with two bronze figures at tho head of the ■tain, holding lamps in their hands. On either side were two arched curtain recesses, to one of which Mrs, Arundel pointed. "These are Mr. Delorme'a apartments, ma'am, and the old master's, too; bless his dear heart, he waB never far from his father, and sadly he's drooped since he's gone. May be aa 'ou are honored guests, as Allan says, ie'11 show them you; for Mr. Clive, that's our clergyman, calls them the gems ot the house." "Then they won't be withheld from us," wu Dudley's whispered comment, as he helped Mrs. Arundel to undraw the heavy crimson hangings from the opposite arch. This done, we found ourselves In a long lofty corridor, lighted by high, narrow windows, and with busts on crimson-draped pedestals, alternating with curiously soaped flower-urns, which lent a quaint and tasteful effect to the whole. Opening one red-baized door, Mrs. Arundel announced that this was Dudley's apartment; and a pleasant room it was, with a southern aspect, and a large bay window with a writing- table and arm-chair within it; a largo bath-room adjoined. "This is called the 'green room,' sir; every apartment in the house has its name. Master Herwald, I mean Mr. Delorme, calls it the 'bachelors' room,' for hiB college friends always sleep here. Miu Mortimer's is the next to it." Leaving Dudley gaxing longingly at the marble tank, she ushered me into the prettiest chamber I had ever seen. A rosy room, rosy from the ceiling to the floor, delicate rose chintz on the couch and easy-chairs, roses twining on the walls, roses lying piled up on the mossy carpet; real roses, white and blush, in the Dresden vases on the toilet table, and roses clambering in at the two open windows filling the room with fragrance. Could it be possible that Herwald had remembered my old predilection for roses? and, as if answering my involuntary thought, Mrs. Arundel said— "Yes, it is a pretty room, ma'am, and glad Mr. Dolorme will be that you like it. When he knew you were coming, he made me show him the lilac room whore our ladies always sleep, whioh is farther down the corridor, and has five windows; and he •aid it was too large and bare-looking, and that he would rather have this fitted up for you: he went to Liverpool himself to choose the furniture." "I am sorry to have caused bim so much trouble," and then I turned as rosy as the room, for I saw her honest brown eyes were kindly but keenly scrutinizing me from the dusty crape trimmings on my dress to the tired- looking face reflected in ths gilded mirror opposite, and I said, somewhat quickly— "I ought not to have been surprised at sueh kindly attentions from your muter, for it is only like him to pay them. Tou know, Mrs. Arundel, he wu my poor father's ward, and at one put of his life wu a brother to us, and, indeed, was considered by us u suoh." "Yes, ma'am, so I have heard,",wu Mrs. Arundel's brief comment; "and now shall we take the dear littlo missy - to her room? tea is ready for her." ' I followed to inspect the blue nursery, which was largo enough and gorgeous enough for twenty Rills, and after having spoken to the pleasant- looking young woman that wu to take charge of her, and seen the wee lady sitting up in her high chair with her round eyes fixed on the cakes and jam, I returned to complete my own toilette. A lingering one it wu too; it wu so long before I could tear iny- »1( away from the window, and again •nd again I returned to look at the paradise below. At the back of the house was a bread stone terrace communicating by three flights of steps with the gar- dens; the central one being ornamented by vases and urns filled with the MfUtflowere. The garden itself wu a wilderness of sweets, flower-beds, masses of gorgeouj color, grassy bantu and cool splashing fountains fringed with ferns, with here and there a. miniature lawn bordered by rose-trees, the whole shut in by a dark massy shrubbery, through whioh the eye could not penetrate; but on oithor side only divided by slender palisadu, was the open park, with its giant oaks and elms and smooth - barked beeches, under which a few deer were daintily grouped. Oh Herwald, Herwald! well might Keith say, "tho lines aro fallen unto you in pleasant places." A low tap came at my door. "Are you ready, Noll? because we well go down," and Dudley stood out- aide, a white moss-rose in his buttonhole, and a pleased excited look on his face. JU tho foot of the stairs the butler awaited us, and leading the way through a music-room, with an organ and various instruments ranged round, ushered us into a noble drawing-room, with six or seven windows opening on to the terrace. A room so vut and capacious that the numberless couches, tables, and ottomans seemed but to furnish an oasis in the desert, and the three mighty fire-places could hardly servo to warm it comfortably. Placing me laughingly in tho depths of a yellow damask ottoman, Dudley put his bands in his pockets and lookod round. 'It must have taken an upholster- ers shop to have furnished this, and it is not half done yet. Fancy Herwald spending his half-hours here before dinner, a small black figure with a background of yellow satin. One thing, I do not believe it is ever used, it does not feel well aired, doos it Nell? thore is not a bit of home fooling in it; no wonder Herwald longs for the old, shabby drawing- room at Sunnyside." "It is a magnificent room," I replied; "look at the view from those windows; thia one looks directly on the park." "It is too beautiful for me; it wants an army to fill it, bevies of fair damsels and attendant knights. I won't meet the fellow here; let ub find out the old library be spoke of." "Wandering about a strange house the first moment of our arrival." "Of course, why not? conio along," and half-leading, half-dragging me through the alleys of chairs and sofas he got mo to the door. Thore wu no one in the hnll, so Dudley peeped into the dining-room, its long tablo loaded with silver and glass, and thon turned the handle of the door next it. "Holloa, that's the billiard-room. Oh, if Bruce could only see that il I will make acquaintance with it to-morrow. This is the library, Nell, oome in." We entered, and then both stood spell bound on the threshold; it was like going into a church, so still, so grand, so peaceful. This wu the sancutary of the house; and all that was home-like and precious, and hallowed by daily use, was here; and though there wu nothing that told of the ministering hand of woman, yet here it wu not missed, as in that great unused drawing-room. Two deep bay windows commanded varied prospects, one looking out on one of the miniature lawns with which' the garden abounded, and the othor on a pretty dell like hollow of the park, .There wu no palisade, so the short velvety turf ran up to the very window, beside which nestled, adding unconsciously to the general effect, a tame doe and her fawn. With the exoeption 0/ the windows and fireplace, every space and corner of the room wu filled by carved oaken bookcases, running from floor to ceiling, and loaded hy massively-bound volumes. The writing-tables, escritoires, and cabinets were of the same carved oak; and so were the two largo armchairs that stood on either side the fire-place, with a curiously-shaped reading desk, and lamp placed beside each, well littered with papera and periodicals. "That is his father's chair," said Dudley. "How do you know that?" "Because there are the initials carved with the motto and crest— Willoughby Delorme, Oh, Nellie, is this not a place to spend one's life in?" The sound of Dudley's voice had roused a very small dog lying on n vel yet oushion on the table; a blaok and tan terrier, so tiny that it wu not larger than a full-sized rat. This small atom of the canine breed commenced barking in a strangled whispered bark, like a child's toy dog, till on Dudley's taking it up, it left off with a dreary little whine, its slender legs trembling violently. "Let's ue your name, you little beauty. Why, here is extravagance, a gilt collar! Sprite—eh; why, it's a dog's sprite if over there were ono, so it is a capital name. Oome, come, be a good doggie and He down." But Sprite wu not to be soothed; she showed her little white teeth, and glared with hor beads of eyes; so she wu put sulking on her cushion again, and she instantaneously curled herself up into a round ball and, went to sleep, A long heavy scratch at the door and then another. Dudley opened it, and the two deer-hounds rushed in, springing on hiin ffratefully with many joyful whines and slobbering caresses, and after carefully inspecting ine, one lay full length on the rug, and the other Boated itself erect on Herwald's chair, both listening with grave intelligent faces for thoir master's footstep. "Those are the dumb companions C.G. MAJOR Importer and dealer in GENERALMERGHANDISE T M2 RANCHER'S OAK CHILLIWHACK, B.C. ot his solitude," said Dudley. ''Hark, what's that?1 Only a back door opening and closing quietly; only a light, swift step in the outer hall; hut Sprite haa jumped up barking joyously, and the hounds, with a low whining cry, ara by the door looking up at Dudley with their imploring eyes, and Dudley, with a flush on his -face, has opened it, and, afttr listening for a moment, follows them himself, and I am left alone looking at Sprite. Fivo minutes, ten, and then again there ar, footsteps, voices, the door opens, Sprite barks, and then Dudley comes back, and following him is a slight, boyish looking figure, in a gray tweed shooting-coat; and this is Herwuld Delorme!
