Tlie unnexatioii of Burinuli to the Indian Empiro will be a hnppy event for tho inhabitants of tho former country, who have boen groaning for years under the intolerable tyranny of King Theliaw. History does not record a creator monster than he, if, indeed, it records his equal. He is a Nero without the graces which relieve the blackness of Noro's character. He is the personification of cruelty. If the stories of his excesses aro to bo believed, he hns been in a state of intoxication almost continuously for soverul yours. In that time lie hns caused almost all the nobles in his kingdom to be executed. He has also extended the same mark of attachment to such of his own relatives as were not fortunate enough to escape to India. His story is like a page torn from the history of Media or Assyria, and surreptitiously inserted in tlie annals of the nineteenth century. The removal from the earth of such a horrible anachronism as Thebaw would be a blessing to Ins miserable subjects. It is doubtful whether Europe, and especially Russia, will look with equanimity upon such an extension of British territory as the annexation of Burmah would mean. It would thrust the English power, like a wedge, further into Asia; it would bring the English face to face with tho French in Anam, and would in a great measure restore brilliancy to British prestige among the peoples of Asia, which has been bnilly tarnished within the past year. lt is not likely that any nation would interfere forcibly in support of such a wretch as Thebaw, but it is not improbable that Russia would answer a British advance in Burmah by n further advanco into Afghanistan.—Seattle Post. The British Columbian. VOLUME 28 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1885. NUMBER 35 A very curious and signilicant document appeansd in tlie London Jlcconl of tho llth September. It is a list of nil Uu* Liuullilittoc fg-r parliamentary honors in the coming contest throught the wholo of Great Britain. This list has been compiled with great cure. Much labor has been expended upon it, and everything has been done to make it as far as possible accurate. Of course it is not entirely so. This was scarcely to be expocted; and accordingly letters are appearing in the London Times and other papers from those who think they have been misrepresented, in which they seek to put themselves right with the public. Iu a general way, howover, it is understood that tho list is an accurate ono, and that though, of course, the liecord is strongly anti-disestnblishmeut, tho very best has been done to get at the actual facts. What then are thoso facts? So far as ascertained thero aro 1.061 candidates for election in England, Scotland, and Wales, Of these, 403 Liberal candidates are iu favor of disestablishment, and only 37 ugninst, whilo 33 refuse to give nny information. About the views of the remaining 106 Liberals, no information had been received, though tho likelihood wns that tho majority of them would rather favor tlio disestablishment viow, Of tlioso declared in favor of disestablishment, 3 would havo it in Wules only, 14 in Scotland only, and 10 in Scotland and Wales only. There are 482 Conservatives before the electors, and thoy are to a man against disestablishment. This shows an amount of progress in the direction of disestablishment which even the most sanguine could not a few years ago have anticipated, It also fully confirms thc statement mado by Mr. Gladstone in his recent manifesto, that the question is surety moving forward into the region of practical politics, and will, at no very distant day, have to be met and answered. Indeed it is already iu the region of practical politics, and though it may bo delayed for a few years is as certain as anything in the future can be, to como to tbo front before long and to continue thero till it is finally and satisfactorily disposed of,— Globe. ■ The Irish question under the leadership of Parnell moves steadily forward. Its real object becomes plainor, nnd circumstances undoubtedly favor its accomplish- ment. Mr. Parnell's fundamental conviction throughout tho controversy has obviously beeu that England would grant nothing to Ireland except upon compulsion, that no English party is really friendly to Ireland, and thnt, according to tho occasion and its power in parliament, Ireland must play ofl* one party against the other- nnd by every kind of parliamentary obstruction force redress for Ireland. At the dinner to Lord Spencer, John Bright said that the Irish leaders had shown "a boundless sympathy for criminals and murderers, from their lips no one sentence of emphatic condemnation for them has passed. There has been no word of pity for their victims." The sting of this assertion lies in the undoubted fact that if Mr. Parnell had firmly denounced and prohibited the crimes, they would have stopped. If he did not take this course because of the feeling that they were provoked, his judgment was at fault. If he did not take it because he feared to lose control, he buys hiB leadership at too high a price. The present important events in the Irish discussion are the recent address of Mr. Gladstone, representing the conservative Liberals, and the speech of Mr. Chamberlain, representing the radical Liberals, and the Wick- low speech of Mr. -Parnell. Mr. Gladstone admits that there must he un enlargement of local government, but he holds that the supremacy of the crown, the unity of the empire, and tho authority of parliament to preserve that unity, must be maintained at all hazards, Mr, Chamberlain declares that Parnell's policy is in many respects a good one, but that separation is a calamity to which England will not submit. Mr. Parnell, in his Wick- low speech, assumes that further "forced legislative connection" is practically abandoned by England, but that two conditions are held in England .to be, essential to the change: first, that there shall be no separation, and second, that Ireland shall not be allowed to protect her own, manufactures. To this he answers that thc chief wrong to Ireland has beeu the destruction of her manufactures; and if justice is to be done, an Irish parliament must be free to foster the few industries in which Ireland may excel. In regard to separation, he advises England to trust Ireland altogether or not to trust her at all. Since eighty-five years of parliamentary connection have produced the in- tensest disloyalty, may it not he supposed that with thc removal of the cause the effect mny also disappear! In Australia und Canada disaffection has disappeared. Why should not a similar result follow in Ireland? This speech, with tho address of Mr. Gladstone and the Bppnnli nf Mr. Clmmtieriain, shows how near the Irish question is to a tentative solution. How complete is the ascendency of Mr. Parnell nppears in the fact that his candidates for parliament were'nominated without a dissenting voico by the convention, and each candidate signed a pledge that if elected he would sit, act, and vote with the Irish parliamentary party, and if the majority of that party should at any time decide that he had not fulfilled the pledge he would instantly resign. In the convention a third of the one hundred nnd twenty delegates were priests, and they cheered most loudly tlio selection of thc candidates. The London Times says that the govornment of Ireland has passed or is passing out of the hands of the English ministers, and it seems to tell the truth. At this distance the situation appears to be one which requires that the question be settled either by the reduction of Ireland to a province or tho concession of nn Irish parliament with powers bo large as to be practically equivalent to independence. The radical difficulty with Mr. Parnell's plan is tlie absence of that trust upon the part of England which is iudispensablo to the arrangement, and it is not at all improbable that Mr. Parnell himseif would seo with profound apprehension a substantial separation. But tho situation is exceedingly interesting.—Harper's Weekly. rOIIN GARROW, M. D, PHYSrCUN AND SURQEON. T OF THS R.

For somo time the commissioners appointed by the Ontario govornmont 1ms been at work laying out and appraising tlie property lying on tho Canadian side of Niagara Fulls with a view to the establishment of the long-looked-for public park. It is snid that the Canadian park will be wore extensive nnd complete than the one opposite, if the views of the commissioners are carried into effect. It is to be hoped no difficulty may crop up to prevent the accomplishment of the very desirable scheme upon whicli the commissioners nre engaged. Worse ami Worse! Tt was not our intention furthor to pursue lhe question of military defences at present. Time will toll whethor our defences are to be posted in accordance with tlie recommendations of military men, for military purposes, or are to bo used as political patronage and placed where thoy may be expected to do tlie greatest amount.of political good. So far, not one genuine military authority has beeu quoted in favor of Victoria or Esquimalt— they have invariable favored the inlet. Onr readers must know that a newspaper discussion of the question will not be likely to influence those in whose hands the location of the defences is but since the Colonist returns to the matter with assertions and inferences tliat are misleading, we must be excused for making a fow further remarks. We do not propose to discuss the question of defence, but simply to correct the opening and closing sentences of our cotemporary's last article on 0 Battery. Our cotemporary begins by stating that Thk Columbian is guilty of falsehood because it wade the Colonist to say that if Victorin and Esquimalt were protected "these were the only places thnt should be protected in the provinco." Now, our cotemporary certainly did assert thnt if those two. places were protected, there would be no need for further protection on the mainland. And if the protection was not needed, it should not lie given, for it would in tlmt cuso ho Bliperfluouo. Kill. tho Colonist wust, therefore, have advocated something that should not bo done, or it did not advocate protection for the mainland. Our cotemporary may choose whichever horn of this dilemma he thinks best. In concluding our cotemporary snys: "We would remind the Columbian that the civic address presented at the royal city was framed to draw his excellency out on the Battery 0 question." To this wo reply that the civic address presented at tliis city did not even mention Battery C, or anything that could possibly be construed by any sane person to refer in tho remotest degree to that battery. Our cotemporary shows himself to be utterly ignorant of tho subject upon which he undertakes to instruct his readers. The Loan By-law. In another column this morninj will be found a copy of the loan by-law to which reference was made somo time ngo in this paper. It need not be said that the purpose of this loan is to find means to se secure the immediate construction of a railway to connect this city with the iiiuiii line of the C. P, R. I n a letter addressed to Mr. J. A, H. Homer, dated the 23rd of July last, Mr. Van Home says: D--.-.U Sui.— Itcplying to yonr letter on the aubject of the New Westminster branch, tt is our intention to send engi* m-cis tu locate the branch as soon as they •Mil lie spared from the work between .Savona's Ferry and Little Shuswnp Lake, which, from present appearances, will be within from three to four weeks, As Boon ai the surveys nre made, n plan will be submitted to the city authorities of New Westminstor covering our requirements as to depot grounds nud right of way, and theso liuing satisfactory, and if tlie §37,500 to be contributed by the city in rash and the similar amount to be contributed by tlie provincial government be in n position te satisfy our solicitors, we intend to commence tho work of construction without unnecessary delay, and to complete it at ne early a date as practicable; but we cannot agree to any specific date for the completion of the work, because it is as yet uncertain when tho government lino will be turned ovor to tho company, und the compnny is not iu a position to commence work on the Coal Hnrbor extension aud New Westminster branch until they are in possession of the government Pit,—Youn truly, W. C VanHoune, Vlco-Prcs, Since this letter was written ttio engineers spoken of havo made a thorough survey of the brnncli line, and the details of the plan for submission are nearly completed. Thn gap in the main line, also, lias been closed, or will be closed in a few days, and everything indicates the probability that tlie syndicate will 1* prepared very soon to go on with the line to this city at an early date. We publish Mr. Van Home's letter because it sets out distinctly one of the conditions upon which tlie construction of the branch will be undertaken. « The bonus from the government, and the bonus and other considerations promised by the city, must first be so secured as to satisfy the syndicate's solicitors, ft is for the purpose of complying with this condition that the loan is now proposed. Tho government hns intimated that its half of the bonus will bo forthcoming when required: the city wust place itself in a position that will enable it to give a similar assurance. It bus already been pointed out in these columns that the loan now asked is intended to be merely temporary. It is asked simply in order to meet the circumstances above mentioned, and to prevent tho possibility of delay in construction arising out of unreadiness on tiie part of tlio corporation. If it is deemed best to sell any pnrt of tho public squar before the completion of the rond, tlie money received from the sale would bo applied to the railway bonus of course, and the loan would bo proportionately reduced. Ifc way even happen that sufficient money will be obtained by tliis weans to obviate the necessity of any loan. In that case no debenture? will be issued. But where promptness is of such supreme importance the council could not be justified in taking any risks. It was intended to make,the loan $48,- 000, but upon examination it was found that so large a loan could not be legally taken upon the assessment of 1883-84, which had to be adopted as tho basis of calculation. If the sum now asked should fall short of requirements, it can lie supplemented next year, if necessary, by another small loan. But we do not anticipate such a necessity. .We are sure it is not necessary for us to commend the by-law to the favorable consideration of every citizen who desires tbe prosperity and development of this city. 0. V, It. Route and Terminus. The Victoria Times of Friday publishes an interesting letter relating to prospects at the 0. P. K. terminus. The letter is dated at Ottawa on the 15th inst, and from it we make tbo following extracts: "The company havo determined to extend the main line by way of Port Moody along the south sliore of Burrard Inlet to Coal Hnrbor, thus giving the company control of the entire foreshore for over U wiles, constituting Burrard Inlet beyond doubt the finest harbor in the world. Por Borne weeks the company's officials wero m this city obtaining information and data lie- fore cowing to this conclusion. Instructions have beeu issued to its engineers in your province to proceed at once with the survey and location of the line along the beach of tlie inlet so soon ns tho New "Westminster line has been disposed of, wliich will be oarlyiiiext week. Being favored with a glimpse of the plans and specifications of the terminal buildings and other facilities at Vancouver for the company's business, I enn assert that there is a GHUAT SUBPBISB IS STOitl" for British Columbians, who have supposed theso would he of a trifling character. Although not of arohi ■ toctural beauty they nre large, cow wodious, and very substantial, intended to be ample for the requirements of tho company for some years to come, and likewise capable of extension without detracting from their symmetrical effect. The wharves are to be of modorn design and intended to aecommodali an extensive fleet of the largest ocean - going vessels, Mr. V Horne, the company's energetic general manager is waiting the junction of thc rails in order to proceed to Vancouver to wake final arrangements for tlio locating of the several buildings and choosing the site for tho docks and wharves. I. am informed thnt he is confident that he will accomplish the journey from Montreal to Vancouver during the first week of next month, as according to his last advices from the Sel kirks di\,*siou there were only twenty-one wiles to finish. Mr. L. A. Hamilton, assistant land commissioner, has been instructed to proceed with all expedition with the preparation of the block plan of the Oity of Vancouver, in ordur to have ifc complete for the inspection of the general manager ou liis arrival there, and to receive his approval ero it is registered. LOCATION OF C I1ATTKIIY. On excellent authority I have it that the govornment has decided to locate C Battery on the Coal Harbor peninsula. The military officials have recommended tbe selection of this locality and it will unquestionably bo carried out. Tiio change will creato dissatisfaction, but as no bill was introduced carrying into effect tho items embraced in tho estimates, it is held by those in authority that tbe change from Victoria to the mainland terminus is not only permissible but likewise justifiable, in consequence of the immensely valuable proporty that will require protection at the tor* minus. It is understood that the government will erect buildings at the terminus of a character in keeping with those of the syndicate and likewise oxpend a considerable sum in harbor improvements, all of which will be deemed necessary in the publio interest ESTATE OF DANiEl DOCKSTEADER, mENIiKlls Will. 111!

Prejovnlsky nnd his Cossacks tirst fought iheir way iuto theso inhospitable regions many months ngu, hy a cuuple of regular military engagements, putting tn flight a largo immuci- of the native nuniads, whu ran away from the dondly liru of thu Itussian DordnnkiiB. The Oolo'ltoLltddl that, notwithsaiidii.g lhe opposition uf the Chinese, these unlives are now extremely well disposed towards the Russians generally,and have given ihu warlike traveler a hearty reception. It is now plain, without ihe least necessity for imputing political motives to tho Russian exploring party, that Col, Prejovnlsky is mm of tho pioneers, though a very early onu perhaps, nf Russian prtotlge in theso parts. It certainly Beems strango to the ordinary reader, who is led tu believo that the regions iu question are at least nominally within lhe dominion of China, that tlm armeit expedition uf Col, PiojoviiUkey lias not. awakened moro suspicion among the Chineso Hum appears to have lieen aroused.

Loxnox, Oct. 24.—It is now evident thut tlie parliamentary campaign will not pilau off without serious rioting in some quarters, as party feoling, which already runs high, daily grows more bitter. The Marquis of Lorno, Liberal candidate for Hampstead, went to Brentford town, seven miles west of London, to deliver a campaign speech, and while addressing the electors, was assaulted by n mob with rotten eggs, ami some of them gaining the platform smashed the hat over his head. The supporters of the marquis rushed to his rescue and a fight ensued. The noble lord now became so thoroughly frightened that he hastily departed from the scene and ran th-ough the streets in a drenching rain towr-ds a way station and immediately departed for London, Meanwhile the fight continued, the supporters of the marquis being roughly handled, and be- coming discouraged at their desertion by their champion they retired, leaving ■tiie-V contestants masters of the field, 'lhey then seized the platform and passed rcsohiti us condemning the policy of the Liberals, Whon the Queen's son-in-law made his appearance as thc Liberal candidate for Hampstead it occasioned considerable surprise, and when he put forward in his address advanced radical opinions, tho surprise was greatly increased. He adopted Chamberlain's programme of free education, and advocated immediate disestablish ment in Scotland, He championed the principles of tlio free land league, and the withdrawal of encouragement of the subdivision of land; s.iggeatcd that the sale cf large estates, en Mae, should be subject to heavy taxation, while sales of land to he divided into small lots should b« left duty free. As to the house of lords, he hardly went so far as tho Hamp- stend radicals desired, being of opinion tl at that venerable institution might be amended by tho infusion of ejected members. He favored the extension of local self-government to Ireland. Auiany, N.

Ottawa, Oct. 2(J.—A number of Conservative members of parliament have arrived in the city to intercede iu Kiel's behalf. An effort will be made to obtain nn interview with tiie government at a full session of the executive council. No dato has yet been arrived at for suoh meeting. I'ho gravity of the situation ia appreciated on all sides, and it ia impossible to conjecture what course the government will adopt. The Montreal troubles add to the difficulty surrounding tho government in dealing with this perplexing question.

That ever reliable remedy, Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, should be at hand, for use in an emergency. European News Budget. London, Oot. 24.—Addressing a meeting of the delegations to-day, the Emperor Francis Joseph said: "The foreign relations of Austria uro of a, most friendly nature, and the recent meeting of the emporors at Kremsier clearly indicated to the unprejudiced that tho active and trustful relations of Russia, Germany nnd Austria still continue, which is a very important faot at this juncture for the peace of Europe. The powers who join ub will maintain the legal status of the Balkan state, guaranteed by the treaties of Berlin and San Stefano- as a basis for securing peace in future. The unanimity of the powers on this point is nu important guarantee of thu success of a peaceful solution of the Ruutuelinn question, Tho signors of tho treaty of Berlin seek to restore tho statu quo which was so unexpectedly violated by THE ROUMELIAN ltlSINO, endangering thc peace und welfare of the people of thu whole Balkan territory. Europe evinced her respect for the treaties of San Stefano nnd Berlin by tho confidence wherewith she gave the Balkan states an independent political existence, Austria's first care is to maintain pence among the nations and to protect tbo interest of her monarchy. Bosnia and Herzegovinia are making steady progress iu nu industrial and economical sense, nnd are able to pay their own administration." If the emperor's speech means anything it means that Germany, Russia and Austria are making united determination to secure the deposition of Prince Alexander and complete the restoration of that state which existed iu Balkan affairs before tho exaltation of the prince. Dispatches received this evening from Constantinople indicate that England will take a decided stand against the position announced for Germany, Austria and Russia by the Emperor Francis Joseph's private utterance. All tho powers have accepted the porte's invitation to attend the conference at the Turkish capital ou tho Balkan question, and the representatives are all upon the ground. It is to-night stated, unequivocally, that the representative of England has been instructed by his govornmont to make a motion in tho conference to maintain the union of Bulgaria nud Ruumelin effected under Prince Alexander; and it is further declared that the representatives of France and Italy havo beon instructod by their govornmont i to support England's motion. If this motion bo made the conference will be at once divided—Germany, Austria and Russia arrayed against England, France and Italy. It is not worth while to conjecture how Turkey, the power chiefly concerned will stand. Her attitude will be decided by force, and it is strongly suspected that England possesses such relations with the porte as to compel it ultimately to side against Russia, aud if that is accomplished the difficulty would seem to he Bottled. The way tliu matter stands at present ia that in n conference called by Turkey to take steps to settle tho powerful revolution agiiiBt her authority, TIIK THUKK tIMI'lltKS (IV KfKol'K aro arrayed against England, France and Italy; thu former triumvirate insisting on a formal return of tho rebellious states to their former allegiance to the porte ns a preliminary basis for thu discussion and settlement of the question, nud tho latter triumvirate insisting on the acceptance of the accomplished fact. To say the least of it, the situation ia one fnll of dangor- ous elements. In the meantime alliiin of atato grow hourly moro seriouB and turbulent between Belgrade, tho capital of Servia nnd the great entrepot of the trade between Austria, and Turkey and Nissa, 130 miles distant. In Servia railway trallic is already entirely suspended. Thu Orient Express company of Vienna announces that it is compelled to runs-- the issue of through tickets beyond Pesth, Hungary. Press correspondents havo boen forced to leave Nissa, and thuy roport thu army contractors iu that country nro working night and day making uniforms, ana every soldier is being supplied with a pair of heavy boots. Sixteen thousand Servian soldiers are already massed on the frontier ready to cross at a moment's notice. King Milan, tho Snr* via'n ruler, in a note to Italy explaining thu military movemonts in hiB kingdom, declares that it is his intention to scrupulously adhere to the forms of tho treaty of Berlin nnd await tho result of the Constantinople conference. Mr. Colemitn Macauloy, itl behalf of the Indinn governmont, has obtained permission from China to open up Thibet tn Indian trade. He reports the present Grand Llama of Thibet has always be imi willing In allow this ooncoBtuon, but has been prevented from granting it hy tho government of Pekin. China's present consent is ac cepted as tho greatest indication of the many sign*- alio Ims recently given of a determination to pursue her progressive policy in a western sense. A dispatch from Paris this evening shows that tho French peoplo ore again excited by their ip&wspapurs against the govern men t's disastrous colonial enterprises, Thu military organs take a peculiarly gloomy view of the Frenoh situation in both Tonquin and Madagascar. The Avenue, referring to the recent wholesale massacre of Christians in Tonquin, exclaiuiB, "This butchery is a disgrace to our protectorate." Proffrm Militaire stateB that tlie government ia sending to Tonquin ten men per regiment to replace those French soldiers lost in that miserable countiy by disease, and declares as its opinion the end of the whole French military venture in China will be a diB- t-raceful failure.

Are You a Christian? It is an old story, and wo havo often told it; nevertheless, it will bear repeating. We were holding a series of evangelistic meetings in the city of Providonee. The place or service was iu the Music Hall. A largo number were staying to tho after-meeting for inquiry and conversation. Passing down the middle aisle, speaking to the poople ono by une concerning their souls, we noticed a finely dressed, handsome woman sitting on an end seat, a few steps in advance of tho position we hnd reached on our way down the length of the hnll. As wo approached her wo noticed that she drew horself up and put on a haughty nir as though sho would rebuff ".s before we ventured to speak to her. Nevertheless wo approached 'her, and in courteous manner nnd address asked her the usual question, "Madam, are you a christian '•?" "No, sir," was tho instant response, "I nin an Episcopalian." Now, the good lady did not mean to say that whicli her reply implied. Sho only mouut to say that being an Episcopalian, and unused to thc methods of an inquiry room, sho did not esteem herself a proper subject for our inquiry. But the suggestion the response raised in our minds was that there are many persons in tho Church of Christ who aro not prepared to answer promptly and joyously: "I am a Christian, who can, nevertheless, snap out tho fact that thoy aro Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregation- ulists or Episcopalians. Apropos of this, we once had a man in tlie church of which we were years ago tho pastor, who, in all other things but spiritual lifo, was an exceptionally good man. If there was money to bo raised he was the lirst to givo; if thero was any enterprise on hand for tho advancement of tho church or tho denomination, ho was foremost in his interest to help; but when spiritual matters wero under discussion he was always silent. He came to tho Sabbath service, but nover to tho prayer-meeting, We wore urging him one day to como to prayer-meeting, pressing upon hiin his duty as a Christian man to take a more decided stand in spiritual matters. . His prompt and frank reply was: "Pastor, I agree with you, that every Christian man ought to attend, to the spiritual interests of the church and cf his own life; but tho truth is, while I am absolutely sure that I am a Baptist, I have always been in doubt as to whether I am a Christian; indeed, I don't think I am." We are well assured that there are many Congregationalists and Presby- tcriuus, as well as Baptists aud Episcopalians, of this type.—Words and Weapons. The Origin or "O.K.-" In the lnngungo of the Choctaw Indians, one of the most frequently recurring expressions is the emphatic oke, with whicli nn aflirinatioii or denial is concluded. This oke (pronounced with strong accent ou the last syllable) is oue uf the substitutes for thu copulative verb to bo, which is wanting iu Choctaw. Oke, as pronounced in Choctaw, has exactly the same sound as the alphabetic pronunciation of the letters 0. K. in English. Tho meaning of the expression, as nearly as it can bo conveyed in English, is: "That is true;" ''That is all bo." A few examplos, out of many that mii>ht be cited, will illustrate thia. "Tho Ohoctaw Indian is a good follow" is expressed thus: Battak api Iinina Chahta achukniiih oke, in which hattak api humu moans "Indian" (literally, mun • body - rod), achukmnh moans "good," and oke is the copulative expression, "it is so." In the llev, Cyrus Byingteu's Chuctaw New Testament tho first sentence of Matt. 5:13; "Ye arc the salt of the earth," is: Gnkui in huppi huchchia hoke; literally: "The earth its salt ye; that is so." To General Andrew Jackson is attributed the introduction of the Choctaw word into our Antflu-American speech. Before the war of 1812, in voyages up and down the Mississippi and in trading expeditions overland from Nashville, Tenn., to Natchez, Miss., through tlie Choctaw nation, ho was brought into frequent communication with the Choctuws. General Jackson, as ovorybody is aware, was prone to the use of down right aud energetic methods of assertion. Hearing this emphatic oke so frequently uttered by tho Choctaw people, he learned the moaning convoyed by it to the Choctaw mind and appropriated it, out of haud, to his own purposes. From him it passed over to tho multitude. This account of the origin of 0. K. has been current in tho South for many years. If not true, it is, to say tho least, ben trovato. No one who has ever read nn autograph lotter of General Jackson's will easily eredit tho story that he was in thc habit, when ho wns President of the United States, of indorsing, in kultem blute, applications for office, with the letters (J. K., under the belief that those were the proper initials for "all correct." Jackson was no scholar, but he was unt so grossly ignorant of English orthography as to fall into a blunder of that sort. Ho may have indorsed documents with the letters 0, K. ns a jocular symbol of his favorite Choctaw expression. Tho story that those letters woro seriously intended by him as au abbreviation of "oil knrrect" was probably, ns Mr. George Bancroft suggests, a posteriori invention of the enemy—to wit, the Whigs—during the hot political con- 'tests in tho days of the roaring '40's. That tho abbreviation 0. K. was coined by Jackson himself and used by him long years beforo it passed into current slang, finds curious confirmation in an extract from the old court records of Sumner county, Tenn., quoted by Parton in his "Life of Jack- snn," vol. I, p. 130: "Ootober 0, 1700. Andrew Jack- 8011, Esq., proved a bill of snlo from Hugh MoGary to Gnspor Manskor, for a negro woman, which was 0, K." ["A common Western mistake," adds Mr. Parton, "for 0. It., which means Ordered Recorded, Hence, perhaps, tlio saying 0. K."l Is it not moro likely that tho 0. K. of tins entry was suggested by Jackson himself, as a brief way of Baying, after thn Ghootaw fashion, that tho claim had been legally mado mit?

Ptanon ft Co.'s, * Emperor mid Prisoner. In tho gray of an early morning, during the reign of good Joseph XI, of Austria, a Btrange scene occurred iu one of the streets of the old city of Presburg. Wo can forgivo history much of its dry detail and stiff formality when it also -records for us heart- touching incidents of real life liko this that we havo hero to tell. The nearly silent stroet, flanked by its two rows of tnll houses, most of tlio blinds and shutters still closing tho windows at that early hour, was being swept by a gang ef convicts, brought each morning through tho prison gates for the purposo. In the lino of prisoners was an old man whoso hair und heard wero white ns silver, and whose ugly uniform did not wholly hide a certain statelinoBs of bearing which he, however, did not allow tu hinder his work. But in spito of his prepossessing luck and manner it was to bo noticed that only he, of till his wretched companions, dragged at his leg a ball and chain. Yot it seemed impossible to beliovo that he excelled in crimo the repulsive looking wretches about him. As tho work of cleaning tho streets progressed tlio thoroughfare, in spite of the early hour, came nt last to have onu passer-by. A tall, elderly man, very plainly dressed, but weaving a kind of uniform, advanced iiIoul* one of the pavements, and as he looked at tho gang of sweepers his oyo quickly singled out the old prisoner. This observer seemed soon to notice that although the white Inured, aged man, in spito of having the ball and chain to drag, managed, by sheer exertion, to keop up with tho others in his work, the overseer was nearly nlwuys shouting at him in anger and finding fault with him without causo. Tho spectator Btopped into tlio road to tho old man's side. "What," ho asked, "is your crimo, that you are treated in this way ?" The old prisoner, at the sound of a voico which had in it a tone of pity, looked up and stood still, resting his broom upon the atones. It was a terrible story of persecution and cruelty he had to veil. He belonged to a distant province, and his position there answered to the olass iu England called "yoeman;" ho having been owner of a small propertyeof his own. But, most unfortunately for him, the farm lay on tho skirt of the great estate of , -md this nobleman had fixed an envious eye upon its scanty Holds, as King Ahab did long beforo on Nu- both's vineyard. Tho owner prizing the spot as hnving been the homo of his forefathers, rofusod to sell it to tho count. From that hour began his persecution. Ouo ■ legul process was served on him after another, costs being run up at every stage. In the end he was fairly ruined, and was forced to agree to sell the farm to tho rapneious nobleman, but he bargained that ho was to remain in the houso for one year moro. One day soon after tliis he was standing at his gate, deep in grief at the prospect, A wounded hair unexpectedly ran by, and, without thinking what ho was doing, ho instinctively raised his stick and put the poor creature out of its pain. At tlint moment tho count's servant came up and arrested him on the spot, and although he had not laid a linger upon the haro ho was taken to prison. Thero ho lay for six mouths before he was tried, nnd when he was placed beforo the judge tho influence of the wicked count secured his being sentenced to to two years' imprisonment. In the meantime his wife and children were turned out of the-houso nnd plunged iuto uttor poverty. "That, sir,' concluded the ngud prisoner, "is my history." "But can this persecution be possible?" asked his sympathizing listener; "why is your emperor not informed of it?" "Oh," sighed the old' man, getting his broom again in motion, "the emperor is far away; and, besides, in a quarrel with a nobleman a poor man like myself must bo in the wrong." "I will seo tho govofnor of your prison," was tho next remark. "Nay, nay, sir," the prisoner hastened to say, in a trembling voice, "pray do not try to interfere in my favor. A person unco did so, and ns tho result I suffered fifty lashes, and have had to drag this heavy chain, Do not speak for mo, or I shnll sutler for it." Another voico now broke in, speaking in luud, harsh tones. "There you are again, you lazy fellow, chattering away your time instead of working. Have you found another soft-hearted fool to listen to your whining? Co you wish another fifty lushes, and a chain and bullet .for your other leg ?" The brutal speaker was tho over* seor, and he raised his stick to strike the old man. But tho gentleman parried tho blow with his walking-cane, sonding tho truncheon flying. "Sirrah," exclaimed tho furious overseer, "I will arrcBt you for daring to interfere with an official. You ate a prisoner, sirrah!" Leisurely tho stranger unbuttoned his fluitout, disclosing to view a glittering star upon his breast. It was the Emperor Joseph himself. Ho was accustomed, whon travelling, to walk out alone, early and late, seeing things with his own eyes. "Mercy! mercy!" cried the terror- stricken overseer, fulling upon liis knees. "Away!" replied tho emperor, "Lead mo this moment to the governor!" Tho governor Bank into a panic still worse than that of the oversoor un hearing that the emperor had entered thu jail. He, however, stammered out that tho blame rusted with the judge, who was a great friend uf tho count. "0 groat Gud above, what villainy!" exclaimed tho emperor. "But woo to him who now injures n hair of that old man." Hurrying back to his castle, tho ompororordered tho judge to be summoned before him. Tho result wae that the judge was put into prison, where he lirst of all recoived fifty lashes, answering to those ho had, by his unjust sentence, inflicted on thn old man; next the chain mul cannon ball woro transferred from tho innocent prisoner's legs tu his own, after which he was made to clean tho utroets of Presburg liko other convicts. And among his companions iu this task he soon fouud out tho ex-governor and the ox-ovorsoor; tho latter of whom now found the stick ho had so mercilessly ill-used often coming down upon his own back. Nor did tho good emperor stop hero in doing justice; he Heut for the liberated old man and thus addressed him: "I will make you governor of tho jail, believing that you, who have suffered tho barbarous cruelties of persecution, will show humanity to tho prisoners undor you. Pare woll! Collect your family around you, and may God bless you!' Bofore thc amazed old man could thank the just, God-fearing emperor, tho door of the apartment closed upon him.
