Tho increasing frequency of miscellaneous seizures in the Behring's Sort region emphasizes the necessity of somo decided and intelligent action by the state department. Jt is in no way creditable to our government that all matters involving iii. ternritionul relations drug along interminably, and aro apparently more impossible of settlement to-day than in t*se ages when diplomacy meant the art of successful procrastination. It >is siren, from the list of vessels "apprehended for violating the seal fishery regulations, thnt this is not only a foreign but a domestic question as woll, American sealers are as numerous in the catalogue of delinquents as are those carrying the British Hag. And still the contention is made that the latter aro sub- ject to other restrictions than those imposed upon our own vessels, on the ground that tho United States has exclusive jurisdiction over Behring's sea. The whole subject is involved in a mist of uncertainty and evasion, The British vessels talt.cn last year were afterwards released. That was a plain confession in act by the government that it found no basis ou which to sustain the claim that foreign vessels may bo excluded from these waters entirely. And yet Mr. Bayard has not said this in so many words, nor has the question of damages claimed for unlawful seizure made any progress whatever toward settlement. The policy of tho administration is a nuri'o makeshift, doing today that which is least troublesome and turning over until to-morrow that which would exoite unpleasant comment. It is risking little lo say that tho state department is prepared to abandon in practice the claim that the United States has exclusive jurisdiction over Behring's sea. But Mr. Bayard does net want to make such a proclamation, knowing the political effect that would be given to it as a democratic failure to uphold national pretensions. " At the same time, the seal fisheries of the Alaskan coast are subject to con stunt depredations, concerning which no international question can possibly arise. Not only tho citizens of British Columbia, but those of our own states as well, are attracted by the rich profits to be made out of poaching in the seal preserves. The right of taking seal in these waters has been granted to a single company, to the benefit both of the government revenue and of the fur interest; since, without such pro- tectionagainstituliscriminateslaugh- ter, the seal would in a few yews, follow the buffalo. Seizures made on the ground that the privileges guaranteed to the Alaska company must be protected, and occurring within a short limit which brings them legally within our jurisdiction, nro not only justifiable but necessary. Yet thero is a constant confusion of one class of cases with the other, and the dilatoriness of the state department in declaring*itself on the subject enables the Canadian authorities to assume that all captures, are made in accordance with a theory of exclusive authority which it believes to have been renounced and opposed by the United States more than half a century ago. The Behring's sea question, the question of tho fisheries on the northeastern coast, and the question of the boundary line between British Columbia and Alaska, sure to provoke conflict iu tho futuro when the mineral wealth of that region shall be developed, ought all to be settled explicitly and permanently. For the delay and confusion surrounding one of them nt least our own government is largely responsible. — St, Paul Pioneer Press. In 1881, whon Mrs. Julia A. Lonnon was on hor wedding trip, she lost her engagement ring while washing her hands in the toilet-room of a Pullman car.

TUB IIISAUOWUD HA1LWAV. Lumio.v, Aug. 28.—In tlie house of commons to-night Sir Henry Holland, colonial secretary, read a telegraphic despatch from Lord Lansdowne, vice* roy of (Janadti, to the jwernment, saying, "Sir John "Maiddlfcld has denied that any application has been made for British troops to be sent to Manitoba. Tho provincial act authorizing the construction of the railway was disallowed by me because such railroad would tap the Canadian Pacific Railway territory yet undeveloped, and injure tho whole country which has suffered sacrifices in the interest of ti.e national road. The provincial government is proceeding under the Publio Works Act, but has been enjoined by the Canadian Pacific people. The Dominion government has not interfered with it except by disallowance." AKIUVAL Or DK. FAKKElt. Nkw York, Aug. 28.—The Rev. Dr. Jos. Parker, of the City Temple in London, who for years was .a bosom friend of the Rev. Henry Ward Beech- er, and entertained that gentleman and his wifo whon ho visitod Europe Inst summer, arrived with his wife this morning on tho steamer Umbria. He was askod by a reporter, "Is thero any truth iu the report that you have como over here in resjionso to a call to fiH the pulpit of Plymouth Church!" "None whatever. I was under contract beforo Mr. Bcecher's death to come over this fall on a lecture tour." THE UTB WAS. Denver, Aug. 28.—General Rear- don has obtained information that there were four tribes of Utes in the battle on Thursday; they are the White River, the truo Utes, and tho Uncompahagre. Thore are eighteen hundred bucks on tho reservation. Some of the Indians thnt were in the battlo are Uncompahagro policemen, and if any of them wero killed trouble would result as the Uncompahagres aro a wild excitable tribe and would readily show fight. Estes, the chief of the Uncompahagro reservation, is expected to turn out as soon as infor- .raatiim of the fight reaches there, and ns the two places are only SO miles apart the news has already been carried to him. The situation is really critical, and the requests of officers in the field and General Reardon for troops aro justified, as tlie Indians aro nearer reinforcements by one hundred miles than the state troops are. If further trouble can be avoided until Governor Adams and General Crook arrive to-morrow, they may possibly get tho Indians to consent to go baok to Utah without further war. Some think if Colorow does go bock to Utah ho will remain there only until the soldiers are returned to their post, and the militiamen to their home, when he will descend upon the unprotected settlers and avenge the death nf his eight bucks. POSTAL CONVENTION. WASHnraroN, Aug. 29.—AotingP. M. General Stevens and Viscount Dos Nogueros, the Portugese minister today exohanged ratifications of an additional postal convention between Portugal and the United Statos. Tbe convention modifies the system of keeping money order accounts, goes in- to effeot Oct. 1st next. HIED FROM STARVATION. San Francisco, Aug. 29.—A young man groaning in pain and emaoiated was brought into the receiving hospital this morning by an officer who said he had found him writhing in the cellar of a shanty erected upon a circus lot. The suffering man gave his name as Charles Cousin. He said that lost Monday feeling sick he had crawled into tho cellar where he was found and had lain there ever since without food or drink. He died shortly after bis removal. Death is probably duo to starvation. SAFE BORDERS. Marvbviue, Cat., Aug. 20.— Early this morning E. 0. Gassaway, olerk iu Wells, Fargo & Co's. office was found lying on the floor of his room. He held in his right hand Ihe keys to the money safe. The other employees who found him say that when they first touched him in moving him to the house he exclaimed, "Don't shoot, I'll open the safe." J. B. Fuller, the company's agent, examined and found that the safe had been robbed of very near $GO0 but owing to tho ourious construction cf a package in which was $3,000 worth ol greenbacks it had been overlooked. The examination nf the wounds on Gsssawsy's head showed that he had been hit on Iho temple and nn the back of tho neck. There are no signs showing how an entrance was effected to the building, and it is supposed that the robbers followed him in as he came from the Oregon express train early this morning. bark lost. San Franoisco, Aug. 29.—Advices from Montevideo ssy that the British bark Garnock a vessel of 677 tons, en route from Loudon to Victoria, B.C., was totally wrecked on the 28th inst. on Staten Island. She was 173 days out, Capt. Mudie and crew lie site but the vessel was broken' to pieces after striking and part of her oarga drifted ashore. The loss is covered by insurance.

Chico, Cal., August 30.-At 1:06 o'clock this morning the norlh bound Oregon express dashed by the depot and struck the south bound train, whioh was standing at ihe water lank, with such force that the locomotives woro fairly telescoped. The baggage cars of both trains were badly smssnedi The engineers on both trains stayed with their engines. Only one of tke psssengers was slightly hurt, mostef them being unaware that the accident had happened. The cause of the accident was due to the failure of the air brakes on the north bound to work. an extradition treaty talked or. Washington, D.C, Aug. 30. -The assertion is made here to-day that at ths state department it Is believed a*' extradition treaty between Great Brit- tain and this country will be negotiated at an early day, as everything seems favorable to this result. It is sold that the growing objections of the Canadians to that country being a Botany Bay for thia oountry has induced the home country to aet. In addition to this statement it may be added that Minister Phelps has been indsstriously laboring to bring about a basis for a convention which would be satisfactory to the United States and Great Britain. STOCKS ABB UNEASY. San Francisco, Col, Aug. 30.—The stock market was active this morojagr. and there was an advance all along the line of from five cents to two doHeis. Consolidated California and Virgiala reached nineteen, an advance of two dollars over yesterday. NO CHANUE IN THE I'. C. S. S. CO. San Franoisco, Aug. 30.—Capt. Gcodall, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co., says then is to be no change in the running of the steamers either from the Northern or Canadian Pooifie terminus, No new contract exists, and the boats wil be kept running as heretofore. In referring to Uie telegram announcing that the Canadian Pacific had decided to pat on a luge steamer to run between Portland and Tacoma, he thinks the change would moke but little difference, as mere wu a steamer belonging to the oompany already on that route. THE ENGLISH PBESS FAVOB MANITOBA. San Francisco, Aug. 30.—A cablegram from Loudon this morning says: The English do not very clearly understand what the Manitoba railroad war is sll about, but when the Toronto Uireiiino Netrj' account of Sir John Macdunald's threat to use the British troops wss cabled here in Uie middle of the week, everybody at: one* said that the Canadian premier must be crazy. Since' his denial of the Inter view nearly all the jobrnals have ex* pressed satisfaction at the discovery that he had not littered the threat, From all that has been said it dearly seems the English public would not tolerate for a moment any imperial interference to compel Manitoba to sacrifice her markets. The Dominion generally is in favor of the Manitoba side of the contest. DEPOSED FOB HIS BMBEZZIEOTNT. Chicaoo, Aug. 30.—A rumor was received in this city to-day from fort Worth, Tex., tbat Burton Campbell, manager of the Texas Syndicate Ranch, has been arrested there charged with the embezzlement of (300,000. Inquiry at the office of the syndicate in this oity brought a denial of the arrest of Campbell. It is learned, however, that the syndicate had become dissatisfied with his management and deposed him. Investigations of his accounts is in progress but Ihe officials refuse to make any statement as to the result. THE PRESIDENT INVITED TO 'PBISCO.

He spoke in the.anion house of worship where a large and attentive audience had gathered to hear him, He adminstered the ordinance of baptism before the morning service. This is the first baptism on Lulu Island. The Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterisns hsve ministers stationed here at present. I believe Mr. Reid, of the Presbyterian church, will nnt'be here after next Sunday. Mr. W. 0. Steves, of the Baptist ohuroh, will leave for Toronto in a few weeks.

So far no serious hindrance has been put in the way of tlio Red River Valley Railway, and it is probable that the grading is now about finished. The injunction to prevent the graders from crossing the, Browning property was not served until too late. When it was known that such nn injunction had been issued, the contractors put on a large force, hurried tho road through Jthe enjoined property, and ran a fence along both sides to prevent interference by the hostile parties. Latest advices st the time of this writing are to the effect that rails were on their way from the oast When they arrive track- laying will proceed at once, and it is said that the road will be ready for traffic in time to bid for the transportation of the present season's crop. Whatever differences of opinion may exist respecting the right and propriety of the people of Manitoba in this matter, all must admit that they have given proof of courage and enterprise, and it is to be hoped nothing will occur to interfere with the usefulness of the road when completed. 11ENDER3 WILL BE RECEIVED BY tbe nndersigned rip to 7.30 p. nr. ol Sal unlay.

N. W., Aug. a, 18ST. cliwaitri Reports of the Ontario crops for this season are quite disappointing. The severe frosts of spring and the unusual drought of summer were very fatal to fall wheat, which shows only 14,435,505 bushels. This is 6,200,338 below the average for the past five years, and shows only about 16 bushels to the acre. Spring wheat is estimated at 6,030,440, a shortage of 4,500,000, and an average per acre of only 12 bushels! Barley is about 2,000,000 short, the yield being 17,436,322, showing an average of nearly 23 bushels to the aero. Oats, 50,603,590, or 30 bushels to the acre, a shortage of about five million bushels. Rye is almost a complete failure, the yield being less than half the average. Peas show an average crop, 13,133,665 bushels. Hay shows 3,093,610 tons, an average of 1.36 to the acre, Potatoes and other root crops are going to be quite short. Altogether the outlook for farmers is anything but satisfactory, and it is quite evident that there Will be little or no profit to them in the season's operations. As an agricultural province, Ontario has seen its best days. The Canadian Pacific Railway company thoroughly appreciates the advantage of advertising. It has issued a great many pamphlets calling attention to the attractions of its rood and the resources of the western territories, it has sent out exhibition oars containing samples of these resources for personal inspection, it has issued invitations to large numbers of capitalists and public men to go over the road and see for themselves what a magnificent heritage there is lying along its track, and now it is arranging for a special excursion of journalists to do some more editorial puffing. Fourteen of the leading newspapers of Ontario, 4 in Quebec, 5 in New Brunswick, 3 in Nova Scotia, and 2 in Prince Edward Island, have been invited to send representatives over the road to attend the agricultural exhibitions in the north-west and give through their journals a report of their observations. The plan is an excellent one, and we hope some of these newspaper men may be induced to venture across the mountains and take in the exhibition of the British Columbia Agricultural Association which opens at Chilliwhack on the 28th of September. It has been definitely arranged that the interprovincial congress shall open in the city of Quebec on the 13th of next month. Hon. Mr. Mowat, premier of Ontario, has signified his intention to be present, and-it is expected that nearly all the western provinces will be repre sented. One cannot foretell what results, may come from this very important conference, and we think it would be quite proper to send a delegate from British Columbia. Doubtless the question of provincial rights will receive considerable attention, and with it the question of disallowance which has for some time been occupying the public mind. It is evident that the relations existing between the federal and provincial governments need to be modified in some respects if the harmony of the confederacy is to be maintained. The tendency towards centralization at Ottawa, and the questionable exercise of the veto in relation to legislation clearly within the powers of the provincial constitution have produced widespread discontent in many quarters, and unless a different policy is adopted there is danger that the confederacy may yet be resolved Into its constituent elements, In these questions British Columbia ia deeply interested, and ought to have ■ voice in the deliberations of the interprovincial congress. Rev. 3. McLaurln, Canadian Baptist Missionary to India, writes: "During our stay In Canada, we have used Dr. Tbomss' Bcleotric Oil with very great satisfaction. We an now returning to India, and would like very muoh to take (omewlth us, for our own «, and to give to ths diseased heathen." OOUNTYCOURT. NOTICE.

ON THE 10TH OP JANUARY, 1887, the Columbian Newspaper and Printing Concern was purchased* by a joint stock company composed of citizens cf New Westminster, to be known as the '' British Columbian Prin ting Co., Limited.'* The concern has been for nearly a year owned and controlled" by the British Columbia Stationery und Printing Company, of New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver. Tho object of the new company is to continue the publication of the British Columbian newspaper and carry on a general printing and publishing concern, controlled entirely by those whose individual interest it will be to promote the development, especially of the Mainland. Thore will be no slackening of the energy hitherto displayed in the management of the establishment, and ita patrons may rely upon receiving full valuo for thoir money. The Columbian will oontinue to bo entirely independent in both Dominion und provincial politics, aud will devote itself to the advancement of snch schemes ns may be considered In the public Interest. Tho concern is now entirely separate from any other business, the book and stationery establishment in this city having been taken ovor by Mr. T, It. Peanon, who will continue to carry it on in hii own name and for his own benefit, It li desirablo that a dally newspaper should be maintained In this city, add the new company asks for public patronage on tho ground that It is engaged in an enterprise calculated to promote the publlo welfare, It aska that the Columbian be judged on its own merits and supported only so long tu lta policy la encomistt with its professions. In consequence of thia business chango all ae- connta dne the concern must be settled without delay bo that the hooks of the former company may be adjusted and closed. Address all communications and remittances to D. ROBSON, Manager. New Westminster, Jan. 28, 1887. 'l7io U . value of dress na fl*Kiuana, under favorable conditions, of prow-wing health, or, under unfavorable conditiona, of dcRtroying it, is not understood ns it ought io be; and, tliough we wonM not liayo it thought for a moment that we wish to discourage any one from taking pains to obtain 'things of beauty'' in tho ray of articles of dress for themselves and their children, we must contend that, at least, equal care should he taken that those things are such us to be conducive, not injurious, to health—for health, liko beauty, is most assuredly "a joy forfiVcr." From the earliest times the object of dress has heen twofold—first, to cover; secondly, to adorn. Among savage nations adornment has ever been considered the more important function, but sanitarians aro popularly regarded as having no sense nt all.of its importance. This misapprehension is probably owing to tho fact that certain ladies, calling themselves the apostles of rational dress, go about in costumes so utterly hidcousand, to some people's taste immodest, that they bring ridicule upon the principles thnt thoy profes' to advocate- instead of gaining converts > them. Tho principles aro perfectly cc.root, hut thoso ladies having got a smattering of them tacked on to them their own particular fads. TI1030 who nre truly concerned in tho welfnre of their fellow beings, for tho most part, work unseen and unknown by the public, lt is time, however, thnt the truo sanitarians should come forward to clear themselves from the imputation which has, as it were, been cast upon them by the false prophets. Far from having no idea of tho beautiful, we have what "timo will jwovo to bo tho highest and purest of all ideals. Beauty for us is the perfect adaptation of the means to tho end. This definition will be found equally applicable to anything- and everything in nature or art; but in its application to the Buhject in hand—drc&s—it implies a great deal. The end of clothes, so far as we are concerned, is iu warm weather to cover people without overheating them, and in cold weather to keep them sufficiently warm. Hence, ns clothes to bo beautiful must be perfectly adapted to this end, wo must havo no garments fitting so tightly as to impede the vital processes, none so heavy as to weary the wearer, none cut in such a way as to cramp her movements and none dyed with poisonous substances, "This ideal of beauty in dress is, wo fear, far from bei ng com mon at tho present time, and wo find much weakness, suffering and ill health consequent on tho neglect of its precepts. Growing girls suffer iniudi—first, from insufficient warmth of , clothing; second, from the weight of I clothes hanging mainly from the waist, and, third, from tho pressuro on tho lungs, heart and-other internal organs, i caused by bands and garments too tightly L made. I1 Most girls wear short skirts up till tho ago of about fifteen, and in quite cold weather, ns a rule, their legs and feet are only covered by thread or silk stockings ' and cotton drawers under loose skirts, Tho middle pai-tof the body is, however, overheated, for it is covore'd by tho tops of the petticoats anil drawers fastening closely round with bands, by tbo stays, ehemiso, and sometimes vest. Tho neck nnd arms are, ns a rule, quite ns badly . protected as the legs, for they havo only | the thickness of tho dress ovor tliom, as i tiro vest and chemise aro cut low in-tho neck nnd short iu tho sleeves, and- high petticoat bodices aro not always worn. If we compare this dress with that of a young mnn wo find that the male has greatly the advantago iu matter of comfort. He generally wears woolen socks, drawers and vest with long sleeves and high neck, uud his outer garments clotho him completely, - and with an oven warmth alt ovor. I do not say that men's dress is perfect in comfort, but tho bal- . anceismostdedicedlyin favor of male ) attire. As to the weight of girls' clothes, it is quite common to see a young girl, who, ] as it is sometimes said, is outgrowing her strength, and whoso spine can scarcely support her head and shoulders erect, dragging herself wearily about in a dress the skirt of _ which alone weighs some pounds, This has possibly been bought ( for her with the mistaken Idea that tho heavier a material is tho warmer it must. be. Tlio mistake, however, is a serious one. as heavy materials generally owe their weight and substantial appearanco to admixture with cotton and fibrous rub- . lush some stuffs being, as it is called, [ "loaded" in order to deceive the public s as to their value. All wool materials, if genuine, are light in proportion to their warmth. Tho chief evil, however, of ordinary dross results from tho way in which it is supported, pressing upon tho waist, hin- v, dering the development of tho internal organs and cramping them, thus tending to produce injuries which may affect the happiness of the girl's future. We believe that a large number of tho cases of curvature of the spine met with in surgical practice, generally in girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen, result directly or indirectly from the weight and improper pressure of clothes, a potent agent in causing the deformity . being tho wearing of high-heeled boots, which throw tho body forward. Tight still'stays are responsible for a great deal of harm, and we nro afraid that horrible process called tight lacing begins but too frequently earlier than is generally suspected. Labor In Japan, Perhaps it is because amusement is I considered so important in Japan that S labor makes but slight demands upon the ,;■ energies of the people, A sojourner in V that happy land writes: 1 "The year before last I had to employ 1 two plasterers to repair a place in the t wall of a house, whore a piece of plaster 1 of two feet square had fallen out. Tho two artists turned up at ten o'clock in tho morning, and, sitting down upon acouple of empty wine cases, lit their pipes. At about half-past ten one approached the damaged placo within a yard, took a men- i, tal photograph of it, ana sat down again, a At eleven o clock a mutual friend ap- i peared, who was warmly welcomed, and, aftor smoking a pipe or two, amused them J by standing upon his head, and by that ,/ time thoy hnd got very hungry, and ;1[ mado a pause oi two hours for tiffin. •A Pipes ngain. Then tho one who had |i carefully sounded tho wall, knocked I*) another piece of plaster down. Pipes * again. By five in tho afternoon they had mado the hole about three times the original size, and were so thoroughly ex- liaustodjlhat they left off. Next day n stray drop of water—wherever it inay have come, from—lighted on one fallow's nose, and made! thorn concludo it was going to rain, so that no work could bo done In thu afternoon. Well, to cut .J matters short, thoso two square foet of 1 plastor — that is, river mud—cost mo I throe dollars, tliough wages are but forty- Ji fivo cents por day. ',;. Colonies of bees that havo boon i wintered in warm cellars should not bo ■"brought out too Boon, as tho changes will be too sudden. It is earley enough to ulnco tho hives outside when natural pollen comes in*^. '£__4 _j -_.. - ■ How tliu Exiled Emperor l-'nu'd at Si. Helena. M. Charles Monselet has discovered in tho memoirs of Cnreme, a famous cook, .some inJerestirig details of tho life of Napoleon at St", Helena. He has given these to the world, after expressing a conviction that it is not without interest "to know what a tyrant can eat." Napoleon's houso staff, taken with him from Franco, included a maitro d'hotel, a chef d'olflce, a head cook and a pastrycook. FoUr Chinese servants wero added on tho arrival of tbe exile and his attendants at the islund. The nationality of this supplementary Btaff is cause of grief toCaieine, who says: "51. Lepage (the chief cook) was.doubtless the first French cook to find himself in such n difficult position—fourf Chinese men to assist him in hia work! I repeat it, this position is the worst that could try a purveyor for 1he table; still, they set to work with Ilk' four Chinese. Apparently Napoleon was not a troublesome animal to feed. ] Ie had a particular liking for blood pudding, and they lot him have all ho wanted. Other favorite dishes wero fowls a la Merengo, such entrees as could be fried vol-au-vent, and, being an Italian, inaccaroni in all styles of serving, lie had also a weakness for pastry and side dishes composed of sweetmeats* Mia breakfast usually consisted of a porridge mado from sorrel or from nny thing else, provided it was cooling; breast of lamb well broiled and served with thin gravy: a small roast fowl or two cutlets and soinetinfes vegetables, but those raised on tho islnnd wero good for nothing. For dinner, a partridge, one releve, two entrees, a roast, and the indispensable sweetmeats aud pastry.' Sir Hudson Low provided tho materials, andt of course, theso were detestable, according to Cnr- ome, who says: "The poor cook for the Emperor as often made unhappy by receiving a lean fore-r-quarter of beef,'while the Governor kept the hind-quarter for himself. There wns no game on the island. Two or three times a year partridges and pheasants would come/but the Governor would grab them for his own table, and sent very few to tho Emperor." Napoleon had his whims. One day he ordered "a soldier's soup." The cook, astonished, did not think it necessary to answer tho demand literally, and made a soup with ft very little bread, so light that tho beans could bo socn. Napoleon was not so easily humbugged. He sent for tho cook. "1 believe tlutt you were a soldier?". "Yes, siro." "Then you must* know very well that this is not a soldier's soup." "Kxcuso me, sire. I bolioved—I thought—" "That will do. Mako me a better ono to-morrow." The cook did. not repeat Ids performance, and tlie next dav served a soup so thick with bread aud beans,that a spoon could be stood erect in it. Napoleon was satisfied, but he ate very littlo of it, and never called for it again. And then Careme propounds this philosophical query: "What wus the purpose of this great Captain iu ordering a soldier's soup ?" A uother timo Napoleon ordered from his Chinese retainers a dinner of Chi nose viands. But hu could not touch it. CuriotH Facts About Flowers, Within the Antartic circle there has never a flowering plant been found. In tho Arctic region thero aro seven hundred and sixty-two kinds of flowers; fifty of these are confined to the Arctic region. They are really polar ilowors. The colors of these polar flowers aro not as bright and varied as are our own, most of them being white or yellow, aa if borrowing these hardy hues from thoir snowy bergs and golden starts. Perhaps the most beautiful of, all our everlastings, that longest defy the autumn frosts and most brighten our winter bouquets, are whito and yellow varieties. The rose of Florida, tho most beautiful of flowers, has no perfume. Tho cypress oi Greece, tlie finest of trees, bears no fruit. The bird of paradise, the most beautiful of birds, gives no song; and some of the loveliest of human forms have, the least soul. The Dorosidio family of flowors,Ruskin tells us, including the five great orders- lines, asphodels, amarylids, and rushes- have more varied and healthful influence on man than any other tribe of flowors. Nnturo seems to have made flowers as types of character and emblems of women. So we name our children after them, and always intuitively compare u lovely, beautiful child to a flower. We say tho timid snow-drop, tho modest violet, tho languid primrose, tho coy lily, tho Haunting marigold, the lowly, blushing daisy, the proud fox-glove, tho deadly night shade, tho sleepy poppy, and the .sweet, solitary eglantine: these are all types. Flowers have their historical associations und individuality. Tho vof bona, our great favorite, twenty-three centuries ago covered' tho altar of the gods. Virgil tells us the shepherds used it with frankincense in a spell designed to win tho lovo of Daphne. Tho Turks cultivate whole fields of roses, from which they make tho famous nttar-of-rosos, so fragrant that every thing touched with a drop of it seems nover to lose its smoil. In somo plants the flowers sleep during tho night and tho leaves during the day. Leaves will always face tho sky and tho earth; flowers will ufleet all'kinds uf positions, Some flowers have very great lifting power. A gentleman who owned a cask of sweet wine tells us that lu placed it in an empty cellar in order to allow it to mntnro, nml when ho went for it years after, it hnd risen from tho floor of the cellar to tho ceiling, having been borne upward, as it were, on the shoulders of tho fungi, with which plants tha apartment was filled. Mushrooms havo been known to raise n paving-stone f. oni the pavement weighing eighty pounds. A growing painpklnt in tho course of ita development, sometimes lifts two and a half tons, Plants like the calla, natives of warm climates, should bo watered with warm water. Thoy will thrive better, and bloom more nud longer, now to ubo Pianos In Summer, "In the hot weather a piano should not be placed in a damp room or left open in a draft of air, for dampness is its most dangerous enemy. It causes the strings and tuning-pins to rust and tbo cloth used in tho construction of the keys of action to swell, whereby the mechanism will movo sluggishly or ofton stick together. Continual dampness will nlso injuriously affoct tho'varnish and raise tho soft floors of the sounding-board, thus forming ridges. Extreme heat is scarcely less injurious. A piano should be closed when not in use. in ordor to prevent tho accumulation of dust, pins ete,, on tho sounding-board, and yet it should bo opened occasionally aud daylight allowed to Istriko the keys; otherwlso tho ivory may turn yollow. An India rubber or cloth cover should protect tho instrument from bruises and scratches. Moths may bo kept out of a piano by a lump of camphor wrnppod in soft paper, placed in tho inside cover. A now piano should bo tuned nt least onco every two or three months during thu llrstyear andut longer intervals thereafter. Business Directory.

This illuming n number uf boys appeared befuro his worship the police magistrate oil a charge of throwing eggs at pedestrians on Saturday night. Tlie evidence against them was of the most conflicting character. The mischief was carried on under cover of darkness, and the witnesses were very doubtful as to who the real culprits were. By dint of a long examination and much'croBS.queBtioning two of the accused boys were found to be guilty. His worship then directed to line them eaeh 910 and costs or else be imprisoned for 1 month. ghiilj) gtrttish (Eolrnnbian Taesday Kvenlnrj, Angnst :», 1887. 4 cars of stock arrived to-day from Kamloops.

Gas rates in Victoria have beun reduced from $3 per 1,000 feet to $2. The weather continues remarkably fine: bright sunshine, but not too hot. . Miss A.

The hose reel boys are still practising nightly for the 1st. They are rapidly improving in coupling hose, and, no doubt, they will retrieve their lost honors. Messrs. D. W. Port & Co. to-day made the largest fresh fish shipment of the season. The consignment consisted of 40 boxes, about 2 J tons, The bulk of it is for St. Paul and Toronto. The VVeekiy Columbian will be ready to-morrow morning, and may be had at 10 ets. a copy. This is an excellent number for mailing, as it eon- tains an account of the laying of the Masonic and Oddfellows' corner stones. Dr. Wad-el-Ward's last entertainment and leoture will bo delivered in the Drill Shed to-night. His subject is, "100 Minutes with the People of Jcrusalam." In the course of the entertainment the doctor and his wifo will be assisted hy 20 persons in oriental costume. Leo XIII is one of the most retiring of Popes. He is rarely aeen in his reception robes; still more difficult is it to observe him in his house dress. He sits constantly before his enormous artistically earved writing desk, hidden behind piles of books, diplomatic letters, and newspapers. Some CO or 00 Italian navvies on the railroad,between here and Port Moody, who have been living for some time past in boarding cars, were notified to leave and go into camp as the cars were needed for other purposes. They refused and struck work and are now being paid off by the C.P.R.—Newt. The Vancouver council has decided to have the city lighted by the electric light company. The proposed contract is for one year at the following rates: For each 15 candle power light, 92.CO frer month; for eaeh 20-candle power ight, 13; for eaeh 25-eandle power light, (3.25; for eaeh 30-candle power light, 93.50. The C. P. R. Co. seems to have fewer baggage cars than it requires, and for some time a common freight ear has been doing duty in that capacity on this part of the line. In many respects it is very inconvenient, and it does not present a businesslike appearand. Considering the amount of traffio on the Westminster line we think it is entitled to a baggage car. The young Lord Carmarthen, in conducting a canvass for election to the British house of commons, exhibited a sharp wit. During a speech he made several happy retorts upon persons who sought to annoy him. Among them was this: "Does your mother know you're out!" was asked. "She does," replied the little lord; "but sho hopes to hear on Tuesday that I am in. Mr. W. L. Fagan to-day forwarded to Peter Redpath, the millionaire sugar refiner of Montreal, a small box of the different samples of wood of the province. The samples were eut and dressed at the R. O. P. mills He alto enclosed in the box yesterday's copy of the OonmBiAW. Mr. Redpath will take tha bos to England, ud exhibit it to friends, with the hope of introducing in England British Columbia lumber for building purposes. The Scotch Gnllierlug. Next Thursday the great annual gathering of Scotchmen will take place at this city under the auspices of the Caledonian and St. Andrew's society. Preparations for the event are well forward, and there is overy probability that it will be one of the largest and most successful ever held. The programme consists of the customary athletic games and sports, for which liberal prizes aro offered, and tho other entertainments peculiar to Scotch gatherings. In tho afternoon the hose reel contest will tako place, and we bolieve this will be the great attraction of tho day. It is not yot known how many companies will take part in this contest; but tho Vancouver firemen will certainly be horo to dispute tho championship with our own company, and possibly wo may havo competitors from Viotoria and Nanaimo. Tho wholo performance will conclude with the usual ball, which will bo held in tho Drill Shed. If the presont delightful weather continues (of which there is every prospect) we may look for a very large attendance. Personal.. H. V. Edmonds is in Victoria. Elroy O'Brien, of Haney, is in the city. D, McGillivray of Sumas arrived in the city yesterday. F. R. Glcver, of Vancouver, was in the city this afternoon. Mrs. C. R.

Robson, Dr. Kent, W. Cook, H. J, Edwards, H. C. Buton, and several others. Jno. Kirkland and wife came up from Ladners yesterday. On Thursday they leave per C.P.R. for Guelplr, Ont, for a visit. They will also tako in the great industrial exhibition af Toronto, and probably go as far eastss Montreal before returning. Rich Silver Mines. Mr. J. G. Jaques returned yesterday from Illicillewaet, where he has been for two weeks past. From him a Columbian reporter elicited some information concerning tlio urines iu that vicinity. Mr. Jaques stated that the largest mines wero owned by G. B. Wright. Wright has over 16 claims. The two largest and richest, _ the Lanark and tho Maplo Leaf, nre situated nbout 3600 ft. above tlio luvol of the railroad. About'UO men nro working in tho Lanark ledgo, and tho output is large. Tho ore is brought down to lilieillewru't station on pack mules. Hero it is crushed in an ore-crusher ami then transferred on board the cars and shipped lo Oiiinhu. Mr. Wright owns another valuable ledgo, the Isabella, whicli crosses the Lanark at an acute angle and runs up towards tho Summit, nbout 1600 feet. He lias n largo force of men employed in opening up trails und paths, pro- punitory to constructing a cabio, or wiro tramway from tho mine tu tho railway dojrot. Tho Boeforo ledgo, owned by Wright & Matteson, has boon assayed and yields very richly. The Illicillewaet Mining Co., in which Mr. Jaques is a stockholder, has eight claims near the summit of the mountain. Edmonds' No. 1, the richest lead, is a vortical vein some 8 feet wide and 1500 feet long. Quartz and mineral matter may easily be discerned, on its surface. The Jaques lead, another claim of this company, is on tho nortli Fork of the Similkaineen. It is not yet accessible, but a trail will shortly bo opened to it. The Vancouver and Fanny, two more claims of this company, aro being worked. Curbett & Kennedy, an English Co. have a largo number of claims on the other side of tho mountain, about 1000 feet from the summit. They, too, will construct a wire tramway for transporting the ore over the mountain. Two of tho claims are being worked, but tho ore is simply taken out and stacked on the dumps. Corbett & Kennedy will erect smelting works at this point very shortly, and roduce all their ore as it is taken out. Illicillewaet, Mr. Jaques thinks, will .become a great mining centre. Gold seekers are being attracted thither from various quarters. Already about 100 claims have been recorded this summer, During his visit to ono of tho mines far up in tho mountains, Mr. Jaquos enjoyed tho novelty of experiencing a blinding snowstorm. Snow in August would cortninly be n phenomenon on the coast, but at that elevated point snow falls almost overy morning. Messrs. Mitchell b Piatt, druggists, London, Ont., write Dec, 1881: "Wo have sold Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil sinoo its first introduction, aud we can safely say, no medicine on our shelves has hod a larger salo, or gives better satisfaction.

P. Say ward, arrived at Victoria yesterday and furnished the Times with the following statement: The Sayward was seized about midway when 88 miles off the Island. Ounalaska was the nearest land. Sho had 600 skins, none of which were caught in Behring Sea, where she had arrived only four days before. The Sayward was taken in tow to Ounalaska. All the skins were removed, and the schooner towed out to the Pacific Ocean and navigated to Sitka by the crew in charge of a man from the cutter. At Sitka (he crew, numbering twenty-five, were allowed to leave in six canoes and one boat. They were provided with only seven days provisions by the officials in charge of the Sayward, and the voyage occupied seventeen days. Two pieces of salt pork, six tins of preserved salmon, one box biscuits, two boxes of flour comprised all their (tores. A gale of wind detained them three days at Whale Bay, and the provisions got wet and damaged; four days more brought them to Red Bay, and from thence three days were occupied in reaching Safety Cove, where the Pinto waa at anchor. The suffering of the men from .exposure and slow strava- tion was terribly severe during the latter portion of the voyage. For days all they had to eat wu picked up on the sea beach and comprised mussels and other shell fish. The Pinta sold the men enough provisions to take them to Fort Simpson, where the Hudson Bay Go.'a people and others received them with open arms. Mr. Spencer speaks in strong terms of censure against the U. S. officials for sending them adrift on such a long voyage with a totally inadequate supply of provisions.

The following bills and accounts were resd : O. Turner, $7.60, ordered psid; W. N. Bole, 8110.60, referred to finance committee; Woods, T. & (!., 8110.DO, referred to board of works. REPORTS. Coun. Elliott, on behalf of the board of works, reported that he and Coun. Duncan had made a personal examination of the lower end of Columbia st. and they had estimated the cost of widening it at about {860. The loan repeal by-law was reconsidered and finally passed. Coun. Reid brought in amended specifications for opening up a oertain portion of Montreal st. and Edinburgh St. The tenders were read. Coun. Reid moved and Ooun. Duncan seconded that the clerk call for tenders. Coun. Curtis thought the work should be laid over a little while. The city had already spent about 86000 this season, or had contracted to spend, nnd he was in a position to know that the finances of the city were in a very exhausted state. He therefore moved that the mattor should lie oyer. Coun. Reid did not believe in a lav* ish expenditure uf municipal finances, but he deemed this work a necessity. Many peoplo had bought lots in that vicinity and bad, as yet, no possible roadway to get to thorn. The motion was then curried, Ooun. Outtis dissenting. Coun. Shiles asked for further time to bring in his specifications for opening up Ounninrhsm st, Coun. Ourtis then laid Corbould & McColl's uooount before the counoil. He stated that the finance committee had gone over it carefully and had concluded a number of the items of eost should be struck out. The clerk then read the bill in full. The bill was then left in tho hands of the finance committee to make the best settlement possible. It was resolved that the portion of the account eharged on the branch railway account be paid from the land sales proceeds, and that (1600 of this fund be applied to the purohase of debentures SO, 40 and 41, Counoil then adiournod. upon Thoy . „ are first enolosed in an air-tight capsule, and by this means made to retain their full strength for years in an) climate.
