The New York Mail and Ex- press-stay* of the practice of giving gifts at weddings: * I uirsts invited to one of the prettiest weddings of the week were surprised to read in one corner of the dainty wedding cards, "No gifts," engraved in a quaint arabesque scroll, which perforce attracted attention. It required some independence of character and somo self- dellial to go counter to established custom in such a matter, but the dimpled little bride announced to her friends when they questioned her decision: "I won't make my marriage to Archie a donation party, where all the parish bring in this, that and the otber to patch up the salary. We have a circle of three or four hundred friends, and every body knows that a great many of them would buy presents (or us not at all because they loved us, but because it is the proper thing, and even if they can't afford the outlay they musn't be outdone by rich Mra. A. or Mrs. B." Sooiety people have, indeed, pushed the gift business hart) within a few seasons, until there are dozens and scores of young married oonples who pinob themselves during lent and dread the coining of June because of the draft easter and early summer weddings make on their incomes. If matters go on as they are doing now, there may sometime be a spring exodus from New York into the country and to Europe comparable to the flight of the May tax (lodgers from Boston, to escape paying the debts of honor accumulated, in the shape of 200 or 300 weddings, to be returned at the marriage of tho givers. A Story AlMit Wasklutf a. There is an unpublished story of Washington, told me by a descendant of the ancestor who is in the story, whioh represents the great General in the pleasant family life we have all liked to contemplate, and not as the grand man and the hero at the head of his army. During the war he was travelling through Connecticut snd visited Hartford, staying at the Bull's Tavern thore. A boy came in to the kitchen of tho tavern and said: "I want to see General Washington." The functionary oh duty did not propose to let *ny mere boy see General/Washington merely for the asking/ ind said as much. "But I have a note for him," remonstrated: theJboy "From Whom!" "My father, Chief Justice Ellsworth." "Oh—well," and the functionary relented. General Washington read the note and said to the boy: "Your father Invites me to dinner: I will do more than that. I will go and breakfast with him." And he did the next morning. And after breakfast he took the twin sons of the Justice, each on a knee, and sang them the "Derby Bam," an old English ballad, beginning : "It was on a market day," and setting forth that the Ram of Derby was so big that. the birds built nests in the wool on his back and the butcher wbo undertook to kill him was drowned in the blood. —Independent, .

It was begun in 1882, and was to bo completed this year, 1888, but it will not be finished for several years yet. It hns the same breadth and depth as the Sues Canal, and is about four miles long. Tbe deepest 'cut is 250 feet. It passes through solid rook, and its sides are ns yet left almost vertical. It in to lm lighted by oloctricity. The cost was estimated at S7.000.000. This canal will save vessels from Trieste or Brindisi to Athens or Coustanti nople about 200 miles; it will save ships from Gibraltar about 75 miles. It lias biren dug largely by Itali iii«, Turks and Montenegrins, Few Greeks have been employed ; they do not take kindly to such work. Tlie canal carries out a plan that wns cherished by many of the an- irionts; it actually follows the course which was surveyed by order of the Emperor Nero.—Scribner's ATaja- srmfl for July, Mr. T. G. Wells, Chemist aud Drug, gist, Port Colborne, Ont., writes: "Northrop & Lyman*.

The Garden q|t**Eden tats been generally suppqpd to have been located in C^tllfAsiai, Some "open polar sea " enthusiasts have declared it as their opinion that the " cradle of the race" would be found up about the north pole. Most people, however, rnr*e-l>m"content to fall baok- upon the generally- aooepted dictum of tho sages-whicli alleges that the first pair had tbeir home somewhere on the greet tableland of Central Asia. But the Garden has been moved again now, and this time Central America iB favored with a call, and Madame Alice le Plongeon, wife of the eminent Frenoh scientist, is tho apologist for the newohangeof base, Sheinakestho striking and original declaration that she Is in possession of writings which detail the whole of the early history of mankind and likowiso establish the fact (which is not original) that tho continents of Kurope and America were in prehistoric times united by a bolt of land, over which the billows of the Atlantic have rolled for countless centuries. This would seem to support the theory of the lost island or continent of Atlantis, of which our readers have heard more or less. It would be interesting to leam something as to the exact nature of the documentary evidence which the clever Frenchwoman* founds her new theory upon. In the meantime wo might develop some latent " gardens of Eden" nearer home by making the most of our natural resources and driving out some of the serpents. In the annual report of the Victoria board of trade, under the head of immigration, it is suggested that a board of immigration, similar lo that supplied by the State of Oregon, be instituted under the direction of the provincial government, as it would greatly aid in inducing immigration, and in according immigrants necessary information in regard to suitable localities, now not obtainable. This is a good suggestion. Something of the sort is wanted in tliis vicinity. We are told that immigrants here cannot get anything like the attention and information which should be at their disposal. The result is a greater loss to tbe city, distriot and province thnn would bt> imagined, Although we might not be much better off for nny amount of miscellaneous immigration, still we can stand a great many of the proper sort, especially if they come prepared by an intelligent apprehension of the resources, capabilities and availabilities of the country. The following, which we take from a Winnipeg paper of a reoent date, illustrates the way they do things in the prairie province! "A special immigrant train arrived from the cast last night with 69 persons for Winnipeg, 83 to points south and southwest, and 63 to points west The train was mot a few miles east by Mr. Alexander, of the Dominion government intelligence office. At the station Mr. Armitage,' of the Manitoba immigration service, and Mr. A. Smith, of the city colonization, scheme, were on hand and talked with the various peoplo who thought of taking up farm lands. The former met four desirable families who were going to take up land near Brandon, and also a number who had already taken up land in Southern Manitoba. An Englishman named J. A. Haynes informed Mr. Armitage that he was on his way to British Columbia to take up land. Hearing thia the Manitoba agent informed Mr, Haynes of the unsuita- bility of the country for farming, and showed him samples of what Manitoba could do in the shape of grain-raising. The Englishman, who has * large family, decided to remain in Manitoba, and removed his baggage from the oar, where it had been placed to be taken to the coast. Mr. Haynes is well pleased with what he hu seen of the country." By an item which appeared in The Columbian the, other day, it will be seen that there is quite a demand in this distriot at present for farm hands at good remuneration. If this had been properly made known in time, it would seem that the demand might have been satisfied with benefit to all parties concerned, as well as to this district and the province, by adding some good immigrants to our population. It is impossible to predict the extent of the developments which will follow the speedy placing of the Westminster-Southern Railway under construction, but One result will certainly he an almost immediate opening for immigration of various classes. A " board of information " or something of the sort, whose business it would be to furnish and disseminate definite and useful information, is wonted badly, It is to be hoped that people will look at the "Westminster-Southern Railway si home on its own merits as lunch ns possible. A certain ninotint of disadvantageous features unilr.i'ir- cumBtaiices i*nro to nilbero to any, graft enterprise' like the one under consideration. People have learned, not without good cause probably, to be very suspicious of their fellows when there is any opportunity of turning a publio soheme to private advantage—m other words when there is a chance to " boodle." It must be admitted that in the present instance—the formulating and car- rying out of some practicable scheme for constructing and maintaining tho Westminster, Bollingham Bay i* Seattle Railroad-such opportunities will not bo wholly wanting. Whilo every citizen has the inalienable right to "mak' siccar" that none of his fellows gets more "fingers in the pic" tban is good for tho "pic" and tho shares of others who hopo to partake, and while it is hoped that this right will lie exorcised with hli vigilance and conscientiousness, still it must bo remem-; bered that there is another and infinitely broader aspect to the question. For years thiB Southern Railway has been talked of and looked forward to by the people of Westminster. After many reverses- hopes and fours—obstacles from different quarters interposed and overcome—a, charter has behn secured by our own citizens, the Dominion government finally withdrew their disallowance, which at one time threatened to at least seriously retard the progress of the scheme, and a dofinite and practicable proposition, involving the completion of the road within a year, has at length been laid before the city, A bonus of 8150,000 has been asked on the completion of the road, to be paid ns follows: $50,0000 on completion of first 10 miles; $50,000 on completion of 20 miles, and the remaining $50,000 when the line is finished to the boundary and trains are running. An additional $100,000 is asked as a bonus to a railway nnd traffic bridge at this city to cost nbout half a million, the bonus to be paid when the bridge is completed—probably not for two or tnree years at least In the meantime it railway ferry, costing, it is said, nbout $75,000, is to bo put on and maintained, A tii-weekly steamboat lino between this city, Whatcom and Seattle is another condition, to be established immediately, on the ratification of tho proposals by the city. The coin- puny nlso ask from the city right-of- way, necessary grounds for the erection of tlio station house, freight sheds, car repairing and machine shops, and exemption from taxation for 25 years. On the other hand, the machine and car shops of the railway, to employ over 200 mon, will be established in this city. Satisfactory bonds, it is said, will be given by the company that their part of the agreement will be carried out to the letter. The by-law is now being prepared, and it will not be moro than thrte weeks, probably, before the raW'JMyet's will have an opportunity of passing finally upon the scheme. This will give ample time, if it is improved, for thoroughly discussing and ventilating the whole subject. It is hoped that no delicacy or other reason may interfere with the fullest and freest discussion. This ia a question of the utmost importance, and while many think it will be in tho best interests of the city to accept the prepositions now before us, it is not impossible that there may be some objectionable features in connection therewith, Anyone discovering these, and establishing their obnoxiou'snesB conclusively for the benefit of his fellow- citizens, will go down to posterity just as much a benefactor as the one who points out the advantages of the scheme The Columbian will lay before its readers from time to time all the information posssible on thiB very important subject, and at the sumo time we throw open our columns and invite the fullest and fre.ist discussion. We would suggest that a pnblio mass meeting be called at an early date to further the complete ventilation of the subject and give every one interested an opportunity of expressing their views. No one should voto on the by-law without being thoroughly posted, . mt, Almonte, writes: "For wu troubled with chronic »u.ui, at times wholly disabled: I anything and everything rocorn- d, Jiut failed to get any benefit, ' 'Ionian who wu cured of rhmi- Dr- Thomas' Icleotrio Oil, .lout It I began nslng It both Iy and externally, and before two iv ere used I was radically cured.

All these and many other things conduce-to a gradual decreuao in the power or vision, nnd if too greatly persisted in will finally cud in the total destruction of the. sight. "The principal cause ol! the prevalence of short sigh led nes s (umong our business men at least), is the pornicfouo habit so largely indulged in of reading newspapers while riding in tin-surface cursor omnibuses.

This is the report of twenty-five canneries, which are creditod with 4000 to 11,000 caaes •piece. Two canneries at the Cascades are credited with 20,000 cases, making 179,600 cases. Shipping merchants say if these low figures are correct thero will be great disappointment. s. - Ex-Member far Como*. A correspondent writing to the Toronto Globe, says: A copy of the daily Globe of June 6th hu been handed to me. and on page six. Dominion news column, I find a paragraph purporting to be tho genealogy of A. Maitland Stenhouse, ox M. P.P., of Comox, B. 0., which you will please allow mo to correct. Stenhouse belongB to an old Scotch family in Fifoshire, Scotland. He is neither the son of a prophet nor a prophet, unless ho goes now into that lino of business. His father, now somo years dead, was Robert Stenhouso, Esquire, of County Park, Fifesliire, and ut ono timo commissioner of customs for tho Ionian islands, aud one brother owiupies a high position in the military and civil service ol India. •■-•-♦ Another prop.sltlon. Tlio Mrqilo Leaf hose team, consisting of n number of fnst runners, has been organized in this city. Tho fire laddies aro determined to hold a tournament in this oity during the provincial exhibition and with two good teams in training they expect to make a good showing. A proposition will be made to again run the race in which New Westminster claims the first prize. This race took place in "Vancouver on July 3rd, and the judges decided that the three teams should run again. The New Westminster team refuted to run and Vancouver took first prize, V ictoria seeond. Tbe proposition of the Victoria team is that they will refund tlio second prize and add S1C0 if the Vancouver team will rofund tho first jirirro and ran in Viotoria with tho Now Westminster team. Or our boys will refund the money if tho Vancouvers will do the same nnd compete in Nanaimo with tho Victoria and New Westminster teams.—Times. See Measers.

The ceremony of laying the cornor sluue of the new Presbyterian church takes place to-night, beginning at half- past seven. A large assemblage is expected to be present, including many from other churches. In the event of rain, the servioes will be concluded in the ohurch adjacent. About 50 gentlemen will be present to-night at tha dinner lo be given in honor of the promoters of the Southern Railway and the lumber shipping industry. A splendid menu lias heen prepared by Mr. Pither. of the Colon- tal and it ia expected the dinner will be in every way worthy ol the oo- ossion. Nothing new hu transpired in rail, road matter* today.

Concerning lho Indian troubles on the Skeona rivor and the prospect of a massacre of all the whites iu tlmt district we learned to-day, on esceltcnt authority, that a largo armed forco is to be despatched immediately to put down the outbreak and overawe the Indiana. The C.P.N. Co. will furnieh a light draught ateamer capable of ascending the Skeena to the head of navigation, and nn litis the force will be conveyed, It is not stated whether the foroe will bo civil or military, but in case militia is required wo understand that Capt. Scoullar has telegraphed to the government ottering the services of tlie Westminster rifles. If troops are required it ia quite possible our boys will have a chance of seeing a littlo service. Sinco writing the abovo fresh advices have been received from the north of such serious nature that the government have ordered "C" battery and H. M, S. Caroline to the scene of the trouble. Indications point towards a lively time with the Indians. It is quite possible that the entire militia force of the province will bo under arms within a week, Tke Und Uauaslnlea. Messrs. Atkinson, Eckstein & Jenns returned to-day from Chilliwhack, where they have been attending on tbe Land Commission to arbitrate on the Squatter's Claims. We understand that the commission hu given the greatest satisfaction through the whole country. The sittings have been largely attended and everyone agreed that the government has acted wisely in choosing Mr. Plants to conduct the commission. The patience, perseverance and endurance displayed by the commissioner hu been simply unending—uo case so involved, no witness so exasperating u to tiro him. Tho general feeling anent the commission is of satisfaction, aU interested parties realizing that however cases might turn out they had a full and free opportunity of expressing any grievances they felt. At Sumas the sitting was particularly disagreeable. The mosquitoes were in millions and tho sittings were held in a small room in which it was necessary to keep a smudge firo burning, the smoke from which smothered lho eloquence of the legal lights ss well ss the cheerful sung ofthe mosquito. The sittings commenced at 9 a.m. and generally continued till past midnight, and naturally the legal gentlemen return home completely worn out. —, ... Ak 81a ■cleaned. . It will be remembered that a China' mail was arrested about a week ago, by Constable Pearce, with two chickens no .tly enveloped in nn old gunny sack and threo eggs in his pocket. The hour wss 2 a.m., and the vieinity of arrest wu Columbia St., near H. V. Edmonds' residence. When asked where the ohickens were procured, Ah Sin tsid he wu a chicken dealer and wu out disposing of his *k-ok. Constable Pearce placed th* celestial under arrest and the chickons were exposed for recognition by the owner, but no one could identify therm. Ah Sin was remanded from day to day in hope that a claimant would turn up, but to no affect. This morning, si there waa no excuse for holding him longer, the police magistrate discharged the Chinaman. Probably 200 ohickons have been stolen by Chinamen within a year and this wu the first, celwtisl arrested with chickens in hi. possession. It seems tno bad thst this msn, who without doubt stole the chickens found in Iris possession, should escape, but u no direet proof could be brought against him ther* was no other alternative but to let him go. The police feel annoyed Ihnt Ah Bin should have been well housed and fed for a week, the chickens fattened and returned to him, and than allowed to depart from Last night and the night previous, at the Rectory school, a number of tlie juvonile member) of Holy Trinity church gave an entertainments, the proceeds from whicli will be added to the bell tower fund. The progrsmme was opened by a chorus sweetly and accurately sung by six lovely young ladies dressed in pretty muslin dresses and each holding a lovelybouquetof flowers. Much applause and an encore from the enthusiastic audience followed this performance, but the young ladiea could not be induced tu sing again. Several ducts and recitations followod, all rendered in style so touching aud enchanting tlmt the audience were forced lime and again to give vent tn their feelings in salvos of applause. "Tread on tho tail ol my coat," by oue of the young gentlemen who was drosaed in a beautiful coat with a long tnil convenient for stepping on if anyone wished to take the risk, waa admirably sung in the pure Cork brogue. Although tho singer in a must aggravating manner held out every inducement for someone ill the audience to walk up and tread on hia coat tail, no one accepted the challenge and consequently trouble wm averted. The bloodcurdling play uf -Bluebeard" finished thia very enjoyable programme. Bluebeard had the traditional bluobeard added tu which was a fine blue moustache tlie like of which tho original old villian could not boast in his palmiest days. The old gentleman was bound to marry his daughter to the murdorous Bluebeard, and, though Fatima made the customary objections (which ladies are always supposed to do), she finally made up her mind that even an old villian like Bluebeard wus better than no husband and accordingly decked herself out in gorgeous array and proceeded to her husband's castle, whore she arrived with a good appetite. A magnificent banquet wuapread consisting of dishes and a rice pudding. The former she could devour to her heart's content but the luttor she wu forbidden to touch on pain of death. In spite of nil warnings, woman's fatal curiosity prompted Fatima lo lift the covor, which was observed by Bluobeard through a crack in tho wall and ao enraged that goutlcman that bellow into tho chamber intent upon murdering the wife ol an hour. While the audience sat spellbound and powerless to prevent the awful tragedy about to takeplnco, Fatiina'a true love, a gallant young soldier, marched in, and, though not more than half the size of Blue- heard, ran the old villian through with his trusty Bword nnd carried off the fainting Fatima amidst the plaudita of the nudienoe. "God Save the Queen" brought tho entertainment to a closo. The orchestra, an excellent cue, was furnished bv mosfruitoos who were indefatigable in their efforts to interest the audience. The financial result i uf these entertainments adds a nent little sum to the bell towor fund. Personal. T. C. Atkinson returned from Chilliwhack inst night. Hon.

Vienna, July it—Mr. Borland, a well-known packer, hu arrived from Hnzleton on the str. Bnscowitz to confer with the attorney-general regarding the stato of affairs at Hazleton, on tlio Skeena river. Last yenr an Indian named Kit-Won Cool Jim murdered an Indian doctor at the forka of the Skeena. A posse of specials under Mr. Washburne was sent from this city to srrest the murder. When they arrived at Hazelton it was discovered that Jim had gone lo the mountains to olude the officers. The party consisted ot Waahburne, Luring, Green, Holmes, and Parker; Thoy encamped at Haz- eltou and awaited the return of the i.iurderur. Early in June tbo parly received information that Jim was at a place called Kihngar about 15 miles below iho forka. Ou the morning uf the 19th June, au Indian brought the news that Jim was in a houso at Kit- angar. Early in the morning three uf tho party walked down tu the house, which wus occupied by 20 Indians. Jim wu among the number and was called on to surrender. He made a break for the door and ran towards the bush. Holmes fired a revolver over Jim's head after calling on him to surrender but he still kept on. Green then raised a Winchester rifle and fired, striking Jim in the back, the bullet going clear through his body. Jim fell dnd expired in a short time. Washburne and Loring came to the scene of the tragedy about an hour after the shooting and handed the body over to an Indian who is acting as a missionary. The latter told Washburne to take his specials to a place of safety on account of the threats made by Jim'a friends to massacre the whole party. The specials then returned to Hazelton where they are at present hemmed iu by hostile Indians. They have erected bastions of timber and bags of aand and can hold out for a month if the Indians can be prevented from burning the placo. Borland is engaged in packing goods for the Hudson's Bay Company between Hazelton and Babine Lake. His freight triifn and five mon are above Huzletun and no freight con be curried up. He had great difficulty in coming down. His canoe was stopped by one party uf Indians and the occupants ordered to return. Borland was determined to get through, and at last convinced the natives that ho was not connected with the specials. At every encampment his four Indians wont ashore and held a conference with their brethern. Amongst the whiles in the locality where the shooting took pluco are Mr. Clifford and wile, (in charge of the Hudson's Buy Company's store), Rev. Mr. Fiolds and wife, and Mrs. Hankin and family. Thoy are veiy much trebled over tlie state of affairs. The Indians demand that Green should be handed over to them and 8f.000 paid to them. If the specials refuse to accede to their demands they threaten to burn down the houses and murder every white person in the locality. Indian trappers are still out in the mountains, and a number of their men are at work in the canneries. The Indian women are calling on their warriors to avenge the death of Jim. Mr. llnrliind ssys. prompt steps should be taken by the government. Should a rising take place, the lives uf all will be sacrificed. The Indians will not alluw anuther white person lu come down the river, and unless a large party proceed tu Hazelton without a moment's delay, the result will be the massacre of the speciala, The river is not navigable fur a man-of-war. The government will send a small storo- wheel steamer and a large force of specials up from here. Wioieaie fotyMMket Bftt, per 100 lbs... Pork " Mutton " Hldcs(gr'u)" Potatoes " Cabbage " .

Bum* Cuiumma:*.—In tUetw (l»Js of progress In everything Hist'relates to man's earthly well-being it might not be amiss to turn "onr attention, a few minutes, to a subject o( equal importance. Westminster, after low wit anxious watting, seems now to he the favored place not only in new eutei prists of • national oritur, hut also of a moral and religious nateio. We have been, getting accessions in the shape of new church Imlldln-s and also new man to officiate in them; lint tlie most novel of all our acquiremouts luu been tlie Salvation Army, and whilst some, evon good-meaning, people have stood aloof from this new feature in Christian enterprise, not a few of equally well meaning Christian people have heartily sympathised with the elfortfcof these good lassies, which have been in many Instances crowned with seemingly good results. The -Captain,*' who has been many years in tho service, was two weeks ago obliged to take a rest, and is now ill Victoria; another of tbe .two leading women associated with hu bt* beet promoted from a osdet to lieutenant and transferred to Vancouver, while the third "lassie" lias heen promoted to a captaincy and left this morning for Hooeejaw. They have been here for about four otoliths, and, although illfferinj veiy mnch in their physical and mental make-up, they were a wonderful trio—a perfect unit lo the prosecution of Salvation Army work. They have been the means of much good in Westminster, both to the "saint and .'•Mer," It teems to be sn established rule to keep changing the officers from Iilace to place frequently, and although t wonld teem at first thought a mistake yet, even thing considered, lt is perhaps hotter. It koeps them in mind that here "they have no abiding place." It is Very mnch to the credit of tilts place that thoy I■- • ■ everybody, places will I that they have been well treated by It is expected that their places will be filled hy a new set of officers at onoe. , OR4KKVKR. ■ ..__ .. ■ J - Worms cause feverishneu, moaning and restloasncs during sleep.'

He works about eight teen hours in the field every day, nnd wben the darkness deepens he has to feed a lot of inoppreciative hogs, milk several cows which nro old enough to know how to milk tliRniselvea and do about 3,000 other chores for which lie receives no extra pay. Nobody over heard of the hired man going on a strike, however. He toils along unostentatiously, nnd never branches out ai a labour reformer. All honor to the hired man who earns his every loaf of bread by a gallon or two of sweat. —Nebraska Journal. Jacob Loookman, Buffalo, N. Y,, says he has been using Dr. Thomas' Kcieotric Oil for rheumatism; he had audi a lame hack he could not do anything, but one bottle has, to use his own expression, "cured him np." He thinks It is the best thing in the market. Hinn Autiiomty ran It.—Conductors on the street ears, and some- timet othor workmen, instead of addressing momen whom they must speak to as Mist or Madam, at it used in other walkt of life, invariably say "lady," "Here's a teat, lady," or "Your fare, lady." It hat an odd sound to most ean, but there is high authority for it. In Much Ado about Nothing the ''Messenger" says to "Beatrice": "I tee, lady, the gentleman is not in your books"; and again, "I will hold friendt with you, lady," And other character! in Hbukeapear't playt uie the word in the tame way.—Chicago Herald.
