New Wrsimlnslrr. dwrohloto Is nur climate changing 1 Many times wo liavo heard tho question asked, mid priilmps the licst answer is that in suji a climigealile climate it is hard to got data' upon which to found an opinion. There can be little doubt, however, that the clearing away of the forests is beginning to tell quite materially in the matter of rainfall In some places ou the continent it has told disastrously ; but the conformation of the country will probfiUy avert any 'ifucli con- ■sequences here,' ] It cannot Ijh Sitid that Lord Salisbury's speech at the Mansion House dinner threw much light ■ on the Irish question. According to his lordship only a few more years of coercion are required to "restore the prosperity" of Ireland. There are men, however, with much higher reputations for brains and honesty than the noble marquis, who take a very different view of the situation ; and, of course, there may be two opinions even as to what "prosperity" mean. In the1 opinion of some men, a nation of. broken-spirited slaves, toiling for the enrichment of the "gentry," would be prosperous, so long as the taskmasters succeeded in getting the full amount of their, demand. Israel in Egypt was prosperous in that sense. The Twonto Empire says:—The British Columbia people are making 'extensive preparations for a grand display of the resources and1 capabilities of the Pacific province at the coming. industrial exhibition. Mr. Hill, the secretary and manager is informed that in response to the requests of the authorities, the people throughout the province are contributing and preparing ar^c)e| for exhibition of a character and on a' scale which will not fail to make the British Columbia Court, as it is to be called, one of the features of Canada's great fair. The value of the industrial as an . advertising medium of this kind can. hardly be overestimated, where a display of the agricultural, mining and nninu- factuiing products of a country will reach the eye of so many thousands of visitors. And the idea is a good oue at this time, when an increasing interest is being felt in this portion of tho Dominion in regard, to, British Columbia as an emigration field. An amusing incident occurred while the Imperial Parliament was considering the Local Government Bill lately. At one sitting the house was making great progress with the bill, amendments being cleared Off the paper at the rate of a score a minute. Finally Mr. Ritchie, the, member of the government irrcharge of the bill, moved an amendment of which he had given notice, involving some slight verbal change. So quickly was the work being done before the chairman could put the amendment in its new wording, Mr, Ritchie's rapid mind had gat to the next amendment; when theohairman put the usual question, Mr. Ritchie rose and objected to his own amendment, mistaking it for the next. The members laughed at the slip, the only one, it is stated, made during, all the .sittings taken up with this bill by Minister Ritchie, whose abUity in conducting this important measure through the house -of commons is favorably commented upon. A '■, - r -.; "' The premier of Victoria docs not appear to be a mail who is likely to let sentiment run away with him, us may be. inferred from the following utterance on the subject of the Australian colonic:):—"We Australians nro not likely to submit to bo ruled from a little island in the Atlantic when we csn managn our own defence, Such independence is prophesied as n certainty i '-but this only is certain, whatever" the future may bo, it will be utaolutcly in accord with our own wishes. Our wishes are not in favor of sepdratio'n, Two reasons check any such desire. Danger to Australia may arise from two, sourr.os~.frbm- Oliina or from Russia. We could not cope with either. Our only present safety lies in remaining a colony of the United Kingdom. Whoh Vfo number 20,000,000 to 30,000,000, tho ease may be different; but the decision will lie with Australians, and not with others. Meanwhile the practical point is the federation of llio Australian colonies amongst themselves," BY TELEGRAPH.

The government, ho said* was not able to diminish poverty or to enrich men, but it could enable them, without interference, to enrich themselves, The government had been successful In lessening the tyranny which an association exercised over the Irish people and had increased the sanctity of contracts. j^Ii the government of- Ireland, he declared, were administer* ed with the same judgment and iinu- neaa as now for a few years lunger, the. liberty and prosperity of the country would be restored. In1 "Egyyt Lurd Salisbury4 said the expectations of the government had been exceeded. When -Egypt should be able to deal with her foes without.help, Great Britain would be glad to leave that country absolutely, As to Bulgaria he hoped that the statesmen of the continent we're being convinced that it would be best1 t6 leave her to herself. He believed that tho emperor of Germany appreciated the value of peace, and especially as Germany could get nothing by war. He believed it was more desirable for. the peace of the world that the policy of Russia should be more oh a parallel with the policy of Germany. All that Hid occurred in Europe recently had been in the direction of peace, and England's efforts- were always in the same direction. ■.' RIOTOUS DBMONaSfJtATIU.YS. :. > Paris, Aug. 9.—The official reports show, that 24 persons were arrested yesterday for participating in the riotous demonstration which attended the funeral of General Eudes. But H of tho offenders were held, hewever. The night was generally quiet, although there was some, disorder in (he Plnoe de la Republique and troops were aent to assist the police. A fight also occurred in the Fauburg St. Antoine. The newspapers generally consider that yesterdays demonstration was lets serious than might have been expected. The Radical press charge the police with losing their temper. The strikers are quiet at Amiens to-day. Another meeting of the cabinet was held to-day. At. Floquet, the prime minister, informed the cabinet that the Labor Exchange had long been used for purposes other' than those for which it had been instituted and it had therefore been closed by the government. The approaches to each entrance.of it are guarded by the police. The strikers, made an,-attempt to assemble to-day at the Exchange but were driven away by tho police. TO-DAY'S DESPATCHES. MAXWELL CLAIMS INJUSTICE. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 10.—lAto last night Maxwell gave out a document for publication in the English press, in which he severely condemns what he calls the injustice of his trial, and claimed that tho prosecution bribed witnesses to testify against him. PAID TUK ,£ENALTY. q St. Louis; -Aug. 10.—Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, who murdered C. Arthur Preller in the Southern Hotel several years ago, was hanged at 0:01 tiiih. morning. Landgrnf was hinged at tho same time. When tho death warrant was read to Maxwell at 8 o'clock he paled perceptibly and it became evident that he was about to weaken. Ou the march to tho scaffold the knees of the condemned man commenced to tremble and it appeared that he would collapse. , Ho pnuentud a piteous spectacle, while Lmigraff, the murderer of his sweetheart, his companion in death, tripped bravely for' ward. When the arms and fegs of both inoti had been bound, they wero asked if they had nnvthing to cay, and on their replying "n<>," Maxwtill in .a scarcely audible tt>ne, ■ the trap was sprung. Not a muscle moved in the case of LiugiatT, while Mux^ull'd struggles were afyful'tii bohuld. Tho iojui around his luekiiad slipped ami cut his him1, ami it - siruam ■ hands of Secretary Endicott and will i be until after the funeral of General Sheridan. It is probable that an order assigning ("ieneral Schofield to duty as commander-in-chief of the army, will be issued on Monday morning. PAUPER IMMIGRANTS. New York, Aug. 10.—Commissioner of Immigration Stephenson testified beforo the committee of the house, investigating the immigration question, that he believed six per cent of the immigrants, arriving at Castle Garden should bo sent back. Many who have come over on false promises of certain prosperity awsiting them have become despondent on learning the true state of things and gradually become hi- ' sane. Fully 50 per cent' of the immigrants now arriving are penniless, dlaine's arrival. "' New York, Aug. 10.—Shortly beforo 8 o'clook this morning steamers and other vessels to meet Blaine sailed from port. Among them was the str. Sloan, which met the City of New . York at quarantino, and both vessels steamed back to port, followed by a gand procession of other crafts, laino was seen standing in the .midst of a group of friends on the deck of the steamer and gloriously surveyed the inspiring scene, while the strains of "Hail to the chief," "Home sweet home," and "Star spangled banner," was heard on all' sides, On tho saloon steamer Stsrin, Chairman Bartlett, of tho reception committee, made an address of welcome i in highly eulogistic terms, concluding with "oue blast on your bugle horn were worth thousands of men." Blaine, in roply, said ho wished every one who wished to appreciate his wel- ' come after his long absence had seen nnd heard what he had during the 14 ' months he had been away. The com- in» campaign, he said, is viewed from a European standpoint with as much interest as in tho U.S. It is tho opportunity of England, it is the long Idokod for occasion upon which the cheaper labor and the cheaper fabrics of tho old world expect to tntade the new and lower the wages of American workmen to tho Europoan standard. I say the wages of the American hi- outer cannot be reduced except with the c.msont mid votes of the' laborer hiinsolf. Ou arriving at Stann's pier, Maine was driven to the 5th Avenue ' Hotel. To n reporter Blaine said hfl did not know whether he would go on . to Maine to-night or not. He did not know what arrangements had been nnide fur him. When told tho Irish Americans proposed to serenade him to night and present nn address hn roplied, "That's nil right; lam clad of it" As to what part he would toko- : in the coming campaigu, Blaine said he could say nothing at present; He . did not think he would go outside of Maine until after tho state election there on tho second Monday in September. When asked about his health ho at first said he was perfectly well, ' and then added, laughingly: "That's ! a question I haven't answered in three ! yea"-" ' •'*■■■■■■■!' ' •- .T. H. Earl, West Sheffora*, P. 0.; writes: "I have been troubled with liver complaint for several years, and; bate ■- tried different medicines with little or no benefit, until I tried Dr., Thomas' Eclec- trie Oil, which gave mo Immediate relief, and I would say that I have used it since with the best effect No one should be without it, I luve tried it on my home ■ in cases of cuts, wounds, Ac,, anal think . it equally as good for hotte as for man." gaiig frttjgh Colnmbian Frlilw Evu.lni, A««. H. UM. By the Southern Railway negotiations, which received so successful a consummation the other day, Westminster, without prejudicing any of her former connections and associations, has been brought into touch with new centres of population and commerce on the American side of the boundary line. A certain mutual friendly feeling has always subsisted betweeu this city and the rising cities of the Sound, particularly Seattle and Whatcom. The prospective city of Blaine, by reason of its proximity, must also share in the same good-fellowBhip. It is evident that the Southern Railway project has established a stronger community of interest between the royal city and the cities, present and prospective, on the Sound, than could have existed without such a link. 'Hie cordial relations thus established are evident from the iitterauces of pub- lio men and the press on the other side of the line particularly. With our almost immediate connection by tri-weekly—it may be daily—steamers with Whatcom and Seattle, and the speedy completion of the bond of steel to these points, our social and trade relations will be still further developed and consolidated, to the mutual and lasting benefit of all the cities and districts on both sides of the line, whether directly or indirectly concerned. - A few months ago the world was watching at what promised to be the death-beds cf four illustrious, world- famed men—two in the old world, and two in the new—John Bright, a renowned statesman of England; Frederick, the idolized emperor of the German nation; Dom Pedro, one of Brazil's best sovereigns, and Gen. Sheridan, •' Little Phil.," as he was endearingly called by his comrades, one of the heroes of the civil war in the United Stntes. " One shall be taken and another left," says the divine oracle, and it has an exemplification in the different fates of the four men whose struggle for life engrossed for a time the sympathetic attention of civilized humanity. The English statesman recovered; the German emperor gave up the ghost; the sovereign of Brazil wrested a new lease of life from the very gates of death; and, on Sunday last, at Nonquitt, Mass., after the longest heat of all, the hero of Shenandoah succumbed to his last foe and joined the innumerable army that have gone before. General Phillip Henry Sheridan was of Irish extraction, and was born in Somerset, Ohio, in 1831, making him at the time of his death only about 57 years of age. Ho was a graduate of West Point, and served with distinction in the civil war from 1861 to 1805, and was repeatedly promoted until he attained, in 1884, to the highest rank in the gift of the army, and received, a few months before his death, the title of "General ot the Army." He leaves a devoted wife and four small children, besides a nation that delighted to do him honor, to mourn his untimely taking away. His name will figure prominently in American history. It has been already immortalized in Buchanan Reid'a familiar and soul-stirring epio, " Sheridan's Ride." An enthusiastic and level-headed writer in an American magazine, the Current, speaking of Mexico and its prospects, lays great stress upon the part that railroads must necessarily play in the development of this extremely rich, but hitherto, by reason of its lack of modern institutions and appliances, rather backward country. Aocording to the writer referred to, however, Mexico, with an infusion of new blood and modern ideaa, is beginning to awake and to shake itself free from the sloth and degradation of ages, in which ignorance, superstition and anarchy reigned supreme. It has been the one great misfortune of the people of Mexico to perpetuate the social life, tho customs and crude civilization of three centuries ago, and to share but little, if any, in tho mechanical progress so brilliant and enriching to the United States and the Canada*. " Railroads," says the writer, " have been the basis for the great advancement which has taken place among the people living to the north of Mexico. Railroads have cheapened and facilitated and made comfortable intercourse—have encouraged and fostered the diversification of home industries, developed the physical forces and given character to the manhood and womanhood of our English and French •peaking neighbors. The same ways with improved means will push the Spanish-speaking people to a much higher civilization, for here, in Mexico particularly, and measurably so in the states to the south, the climate and natural resources are better and greater than those in the states to the north. Hera it may be that the Almighty has designed that his race shall bo perfected. Hero already nature unassisted has done more for the floral, plant and fruit kingdom than in most countries on the globe; and may it not be here, too, that tome day will be developed the grandest men and the noblest of women t Railroads arc powerful influences for enlightenment. We owe it to them that local arid race pre judices are disappearing. We owe to them the diffusion of progressive ideas which will distinguish the nineteenth century from all- time that has gone hkore. Railroads will yet make all the people of the world shako hands, eat together, and be brothers in a common cause, the causo of humanity and the bettering of the physical conditions of each other. Railroads, by facilitating our intercourse and by bringing us constantly and agreeably together, will yet msko us speak one language, sing the same songs, laugh at the same jokes, bow in respect to the same God, and be at home at one another's firesides." The writer quoted above proceeds to show that wherever and whenever tho western nations have exchanged with the east, and wherever tho Occident has selected a route to the Orient, then and there have been built great centres of civilization and trade, and the people have been lifted to a higher plane of action. As it has been in the past it will be in the future. The destiny of Mexico, says the writer, is a grand one. The people shall yet diversify their home industries and become free and inde pendent of the workshops of other lands, and with industrial freedom she must become great. It is not independence of, nor dependence upon, but it is inler-dependence with other nations for which Mexico must strive. " If tho Mexican people advance as resolutely and as uncompromisingly for industrial and financial freedom as they did for political independence, rapid and certain will be their ascendancy over those people who ride with their backs to the locomotive of progress and never see an opportunity until it is past. * * * When Mexico's system of railroads is completed in all directions, including Ead's ship transport route, and all under the control of the government in a spirit of equity, and made the basis for the diversification of home industries and security for the nation's credit, then the people of the earth will come by oommon consent to her soil to exchange courtesies and to negotiate business." The advancement and prosperity of Mexico, with its vast undeveloped wealth in minerals, tropical fruits, and other products, is a matter of interest to the entire world. Connected, as we •will be in a few years, by a continuous line of railway, of which the Westminster-Sonthern will form an important link, with this Eldorado, the development of its resources and its political regeneration has a special interest for us. The " little burg," by its railroads, will soon reach in all directions for the commerce of the world, and the southern connection which it has just inaugurated will soon justify the indomitable enterprise und faith of the royal city.

When, in consequence of ago and disease, tho hair becomes weak, thin, and gray, Ayer's Hair Vigor will strengthen it, restore its original color, promote its rapid and vigorous growth, and impart to it the lustre and freshness of youth. I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a long timo, and am convinced of its value. When I was 17 years of age my hair began to turn gray. I commenced using the Vigor, and was surprised at the good effects it produced. It not only restored the color to my hair, but so stimulated its growth, that I have now more hair than ever before.* J. W. Edwards, Coldwater, Miss.

Tho Sobstltnt* for Whipping In Their Ear-Away Country. Ths babies In Japan have sparkling eyes and funny little tufts of hair; they look so quaint and old-fashioned, exactly like those doll babies that are sent over here to America, says a writer In St. Nicholas. Now, in our country very young babies are apt to put everything in their mouths; a button or a pin, or anything, goes straight to the little rosy wide-open mouth, and the nurse or mamma most always watch and take great care that baby does not swallow something dangerous. But In Japan they put the small babies right down In the sand by the door of the honsr\\ or on the floor, but I never saw the I- attempt to put anything In their, mo; lis unless they were told to do so, ami .0one seemed to be anxlousabout tin ■. -.;■;• \\ ■■ :i little boys or girls in Japan are 11;, i.ryand disobedient, they must be pit lied, of course; but the punishment la \\ -y strange. There are very small pieces of rice paper called moxn, and these are lighted with a match and then put upon the finger or hand or arm of the naughty child, and they burn a spot on the tender skis that hurts very, very much. The child • soreams with the pain, and the ™d hot moxn sticks to the skin for a moment or two, mid then goes out; but the smarting burn reminds the little child of bis fault, 1 do not like these moxas. I think it ii a cruel, punishment, But perhaps it is better than a whipping. Only I wish little children never had to be punished. FOOD OF THE PRIMITIVE MAN. ; allowing Arguments for and against that Theories of Vegetarians. Primitive man, wherever he was first east, whether in oue centre or In more than one, must of necessity have found his food In the plant world. We cannot imagine him commencing his career learned in the art of hunting, killing and I cooking the lower animals tor food. Many Infer from this circumstance that ihuurgument In favor of vegetarian prne- ' licni* copied direct from nature, signed nnd delivered by her. N>t quite so fast. There is one Inter- 1 posing barrier to the free acceptance of vegetarian deed and act of conveyance of food from nature to man. Nature, her- tvlf.nf her own right royal will, makes for 'Animals, herbivorous and carnivorous, one iiistiuctivi! animal food; a (secretion from the living animal organism, a fluid which la a standard food—meat and drlu)c iu uue-ihu fluid known under the uunid of milk. 'Against absolute vegetarianism, then, wo miy fairly set up one exception, de- rivfj from nature as the unerring guide. On observing the habits of animals wa hiucover another natural fact, We find Hint animals of quite different natures, 1 In respect to primitive selection of food, piwaess the power of changing their 'modes of feeding and of passing over M it were, from one class to another. : This change is distinct but limited, and tru must accept it with all Its extension on the one side and with all Its limitation ^n the other. Tho fruit-eating ape oan bo taught under privation to subsist on animal diet; a flog can, I believe, be taught to subsist on egetable diet. But It would be as Impossible to teach a sheep to eat flesh as It would be to make a lion feed on grass.— Tou temporary Review. PREPARATION FOR BUSINESS. I Notable Examples of Fanlghted Shrewdness by Merchants af Holland. A level-headed race, the Dutchmen. . calizlng they are being outstripped la s\\ie foreign trade by the English and the jlerniaue, a number of merchants have Jirgauized an association called "The (foreign Country." j The object of the association Is to send I oung men to foreign countries, not only f i get acquainted with the mode of trans- (acting business, and particularly In the lazaars of the East, but that they may reel at homo in those countries, and thus Itrepare the way for the establishment of I )utch commercial houses. l They propose to support these young Ken by paying their expenses and giving Ihein a salary. In return the men an to Kud themselves to return the whole or plot the money whan they can do so f thout difficulty, when the moniywUl l> to enlist others. J The Dutch rightly conclude that know- ' idga of business or commodities is not to lo learned behind desks, but by personal \\pcrlenee.

Misautta, a city of Mexico, situated in the contra of a valley surrounded by mountains some 6;0QO feet above the level of the sea, is supposed to be tho original home of vanilla. It has been found in various parts of Central America, both north and south, but in no place posses- 'situajiditu'flco rich and rare as in the valley of Misuutta. . Ingenious, painstaking and scientific Frenchmen have cultivated It on the Island of Mauritius, and'were successful iu producing a fair Imitation of vanilla which they termed tho "Bourbon" bean for which they found a market In England nnd France, but the crop of each succeeding year deteriorated until it sold for less than half the price nf the genuine vanilla beau from Its original home In Mexico, where it has been from time Immemorial cultivated and prepared for the market by the native Mexican. The native Mexican plants it near the base of a ccrub oak to which he fastens its vine, . It produoos no fruit during the first four seasons. After that it bears fruit for eleven or twelve years. The fruit or pod grows In large clusters similar to those of the bWnana. Its blossoms are In clusters much like our lilac, but white fu color; and in fragrance wonderfully rich, exceeding that of the tube rose, -The pod at first Is large and green like the banana, but when ripe, it soon shrinks until it has a dry and withered appearand'. All its virtues and excellences serin to bj absorbed in the bean. ; These receive numerous mjuilpulntioUH from the native producer:*. These patient, diligent workers nllinu the absolute ne- cosalty of a ninety days' hamlliug luorder to ripen and retain the heat qualities of tho vanilla I-can. They expose them to the sun for a certain length of time aud then place layers of them between blank' eta until the alternate layers of blankets nnd fruit form a large pile aud In this condition they undergo a "sweating process." Thus several times each day they arc exposed alternately to the sun and the blanket covering until all moisture Is removed. They are thus handled untlleach bean attains the color of a very dark cigar. y , .''•/' ' Notwithstanding all this sweating and drying process the beau must be kept In rooms or vault s where the temperature of the air must be so uniform as to avoid all extremes of boat, cold, moisture, pr dryness. . The tonka beans grown in South America, are often palmed off upon the unwary as genuine vanilla. The tonka Is aromatic lu odor and strong in taste, It Is good to perfume snuff aud to scent clothes to preserve them from the ravages of the moth, but a wretched substitute for the vanilla beau. " The tonka is worth fifty to sixty cents a pound, while vanilla commands a ready sale at from 112 to f 14. Last year the vicinity of Misautta alone exported sixty million beans, the great portion of which reached New York. They are ,used by druggists and confectioners, and are a very important article of commerce, u* ' *-j .-— — ■*...£>-■- WHERE THE DEFECT LAY, A Brother fores the Colored Preaelitr'e Beeigaatlon.

The public schools in this city will re-open on Monday next. Mr. W. 0. Coatham, principal, informs us that no changes will be made in tho rooms occupied by the different departments for some weeks yet, until the new school rooms are ready for occupancy. The high school will also re-opou the same day. After their good long holiday, the children and youth ot the city should be ready and willing to returiVto their studies again. Cricket Match. To-morrow afternoon s cricket match will be played on the athletic grounds betweon teams chosen by Messrs Gilford and Armstrong. Team No. 1 is composed of Gilford (capt), Coulth- art, Lewis, Smith, Wilson, Read, -G. Armstrong, Peebles, Brine, Fletcher, Olute, jr., and Drysdale, Team Nn. 2 will be composed of Armstrong ('.-apt), Miles, Ghappell, Woods, Parks, Ham- her, Harvey, Raymond, McMurtin, J. S. Glute, sr., Moresby and Lister. Stumps will bo pitched at 2 o'clock sharp. llHulliigOnl the limit*. The principal canneries hauled out their boats-to-day, the soekeyo run being over for the so.,eoii. Nothing further will bo done until tho oohoca put iu choir appearance, and if they run as largely hs is expected tho can- ners will bo able to make up the losses incurred by the sock eye run. After to-morrow there will be very few boats on the river except those employed in supplying the local demand. Chinese domestics have been scarce for the last six weeks, but there will now bo two where one is wanted. ItttallNg Accident. Two young men named Harris and Wilson while out for a sail lost night, opposite the city, met With an accident that nearly proved fatal. By some accident their boat was cspBizad and in a moment both of them wero struggling in the water. Luckily some fishing boats were iu the vicinity and one of them went to the rescue and succeeded in saving both young men, though none to soon as they were almost exhausted when picked up. The boat was fclao secured and brought to tho city. Sailing is not a very safe amusement for persons inexperienced in the currents of the river, and much caution is always observed even by those who have a thorough knowledge of it. HnniMlH of Huntley. It is reported that the Marquis of Huntley, who with Lady Huntley nnd suite spent a fortnight at the Harrison Hot Springs hut year, is negotiating with the Dominion government for the purchase of one of the large islands facing the springs nn Lake Harrison. It is said to be his lordship's intention to stock the island with pheasants, and to erect a shooting lodge thereon. He will sond vut for his private use a comfortable steam launch, and will spend the greater part of each shooting season with it large party of friends at this charming resort. Hi* lordship when at the Harrison Hot Springs last yenr Btuted that he thought the scenery by far the linen! that he had seen in his varied travels. The climate, he considered vory tine. ATrltratc, We tako the liberty of publishing the following testimonial to British Columbia and This Columbian, which we received yesterday, by postal card, from Liketield, Ontario, dated Aug 2, The writer is Mr. W. C. Steves, well known in this city and district. ' The noto runs as follows: "Tub Columbian of the 18th July did not gladden; my family circle. Please send a copy of that date.

It claims something like $6,000,000, on tho con- tcntion that the British Columbia sec Hon of the road handed over to it was not so well built us it should have been. The counsel for tho government ex- torted the confession frpiu ono of the company's witnesses that tho road handed over contains work very much like that put into all railroads when first built in mountain sections, and that some of tho work objected to could bo matched on that part uf tho Canadian Paeilio built by the company. But then it was Kind in reply that this is only temporary work, and is intended shortly to be replaced by better.

It may seem a strange thing for a man li ft. high to bo lost in a field of grain, but it is nevertheless a fact, and there are a dozen more fields on tho Belta where the same thing might occur. Cremation Introduced. That Westminster is rapidly falling into Hue with the customs of modern cities, and adopting tho most advanced ideas on all subjects, is becoming more apparent every day. The latest departure to chronicle is the, establishment of a crematory, which though Unsuccessful in its first operation may yet become as perfect as could be desired, Mr.Jiis, \\yiq.temuto had the, misfortune,, a fe'w dap ago, to lose a well beloved horse, which he desired to cre- mate iu the .must approved and scientific manner. The furnace was erected on'n^'acant'lot in trie upper, portion of the city, and when all was ready the remains were conveyed to the spot and the process began. Unfortunately for the success of the experiment the hone had led an active And useful life, and had spent more time in performing its duties than in putting fat on its ribs. The furnace fire was both largo aud hotehougri to do the work well under ordinary circumstances, but the conditions in this case were extraordinary, as the whole carcase refused to lend even ono ' drop of oil to hasten the ceremonies; ' Additional' wood was heaped on and stirred up, but to no effect, tho carcase would not burn and the ceremony was given up iu.despair. The remains now He exposed to sun, wind and weather, aud owing to the partial process do not present a very attractive appearance, and the peoplo in the neighborhood are quite justified in demanding that the, cremation be properly finished or'theTemains of the remains decently interred, The JlfKl Pill*,—Mr. Win.

The result of their efforts has been laid before the minister of justice here, nnd from what can be gathered they.have not only in the opinion of the government, established the fact that an innocent man was hanged, but have placed the crime on the man who committed it, and who swore away Mill- man's life to Save himself front the gallows. It is expected the murderer will be captured within a few days. The question arises if his 'guilt is established, could two men be hanged for one man's crime? !
