St. Paul, Dec. 17.—Thero is every reason now to believe that tho smug- gl:ng conspiracy which wos unearthed by United States officers here, by information of one of the band arrested at Denver, and the subsequent seizure of 800 pounds of opium e t St. Vincent, is more far reaching and of vastly greater proportions than at first supposed, It is certain that the operations of the smugglers were uot confined to opium, but that large quantities of silk and costly fabrics from China have been landed in British Columbia and brought to various points on the Canadian Pacifio Railroad consigned to tho smugglers.

ISSS* Such demonstrations as occurred in this city on Saturday night have, like all manifestations or events, some reason behind them—which is another thing altogether from saying that they are commendatory, or oven excusable. Burning and hanging in effigy, tarring nnd feathering, rail riding, and lynching are nil lawless and inexcusable actions in themselves; but they bavu occurred time and again throughout tho civilized world, and very often with suoh strong reason as to constitute un excuse in the eyes of un impartial public, "Served him right 1" is very often the exclamation of tho popular tribunal in such cases, .Sometimes the popular verdict is right, but not always. When a man has committed some revolting offence against society, with which tho law is considered not to deal adequately or with a decent celerity, and the offender is seized by his indignant neighbors and put to public disgrace, or the rope, according to tho enormity of his offence, public opinion, as a rule, sanctions and approves tho swift retribution, if it is considered that the unwritten law of equity has been vindicated, though the law of the country may have been slightly anticipated. It is not necessary to recite instances, which everyone must be able to recall. Happily, though, such is the respect and confidence in the law and its adminis- . tration in our land, that such instances as we have referred to are rare or altogether lacking, and the circumstances would have to be very exceptionable that would excuse them. Burning and hanging in effigy ure the most harmless, and, par- haps, the most foolish, of all the methods of popular punishment wo have mentioned, and are usually meted out to those who have offended, or are considered to have offended, against the publio interests. It cannot be commended, except as operating as a safety-valve for the popular indignation, and has no value except as showing which way the wind blows. The demonstration on Saturday night, however, was not necessary for that purpose even, as the popular feeling on the Southern Bailway matter has been apparent at every stage of the proceedings. The despatches of the last few days would seem to leave very little room to doubt the truth of the report that both Stanley and Emin Bey have run their heads into the Mahdi's noose and have been brought up sharp. Although any definite news from these veterans, who have been swallowed up for so long in the bowels of savage Africa, must be welcome to a curious and anxious civilized world, a general disappointment and regret will be felt that the two bravo hearts did not emerge from the jungles and shadows of the Dark Continent under happier and more glorious auspice.''—which they certainty deserved, and would havo gained, but for the treachery of their black allies and escort, The situation is not only a humiliating und precarious one for the dauntless two themselves, but galling and damage-threatening to British interests und prestige in Egypt and the Soudan. Ouptives of tho cruel and perfidious Mahdi, with legions of fanatical and murderous Arabs at his back, their livo3 are in danger of forfeit at any timo, and, unless England abandons her operations at Suakim, and even ubandoms Suakim itself, and otherwise accedes to every demand of the Mahdi, who now holds the winning cards, will not be worth a moment's purchase. The British government have got a problem similar to the one presented in the case of the lamented and heroic Gordon, who fell a victim to the Muhdi's predecessor nt Khartoum about three years ago, and it is to be feared that a like sequel will ensue in the present case. Gladstone has been unsparingly denounced for having left Gordon to perish, although, before reaching hasty conclusions as to the extent of his blameworthiness, the magnitude of the difficulties that had to be encountered should be considered. Salisbury and his administration will now havo to exercise the utmost wariness, and even then British interests in the Soudan will havo to be sacrificed to secure the safety of Stanley and Emin Bey. Fnblie opinion in England, which rose in indignation at Gordon's sacrifice, which it was believed could have been averted, will not, we are convinced, hear of any compromise between material national interests in the Soudan and the lives of the two captive heroes upon whom the eyes of tue eivilized world are fixed, A lady from Syracuse1 write*! "For about teven years before taking Northrop ft Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cnre, Ituffered from a complaint very prevalent with oar sex, I was unable to walk any distance or stand on my feet for more than a few minutes at a time without feeling exhausted, hut now I am thankful tosay, I can walk two miles without feeling ihe least incon- veaitnee." For Female Complaints it has no equal. From their answers to questions in the houso of commons, says an eastern exchange, it is manifest that the imperial ministry intend to defer for a timo any steps as to the appointment of a British representative at Washington, and also any discussion as to tho present position of the fishery question. This is a course which is plainly in accordance with the national dignity and is also expedient in the interest of amicable international relations, Though both great parties United States were implicated in the electioneering insults to the British Empire nnd the Dominion of Canada, President Cleveland and his secretaries were the official representatives of their country, and to make an approach to them by replacing the British minister at Washington by a successor, while they remain in office though rejected by the people, would be to condone their deliberate bad manners und invite further contumely. The new executive will start with a clean slate as far as any official record is concerned. . After it is installed will be time enough for any steps for the resumption by the British authorities of tho diplomatic position so rudely interrupted.* The communications to the imperial parliament of papers as to the fishery question, and a statement ,*f t/iu proposed future steps in this mutter, may be deferred with equal reason. During the presidential campaign the consideration of this question by our neighbors wus so notoriously and openly complicated by electioneering expediency that little clue to their real opinion can be obtained from their declarations when partly influenced by such vote-influencing manteuvres. Nor can any new diplomatic action be taken with advantage till after the swoll of this campaign storm has subsided. It is clear that the nations must accept tho condition that any civilized international communications can be carried on with the United States only during the lucid intervals between tho tumult, the modern Saturnalia, of two long drawn-out presidential campaigns. If this is not altogether pleasant to other nations or promotive of friendly intercourse, it is only fair to remember that if the United States become periodically offensive to their neigh- bora, tbey do not themselves escape freely from the infliction. If the politicians of their two great parties studiously insult other nations they are quite as lavish in their insults to each other and us unscrupulous in tho devices on which these mutual attacks are based. If our business relations with tho United States are periodically obstructed and depressed, their own internal business is interrupted to an extent whioh by their own calculation involves a loss of many tens of millions of dollars, and all their other affairs not immediately bearing on tho campaign are thrown into disorder or aro shelved for the time, however urgent.

"»Not oven to Italy, mamma?" The girl's sweet faco had grown tender and gentlo. She camo to ner mother's side, and drew the unfinished mending from her hands. "There 1 Let mo do it, mamma.

Mrs. Dunelle started to her foot, pale and trembling like a leaf. "Stuart Harland I A poor artist. Oh, Lucia, this is madness 1" ".Mamma, I love him!"

Denello was wringing her hands in I titter -sorrow. Neither ol them oh- so ve I thu tall, dork figure in tho ovor* crown groun.ls without, lying at full hu th upon tho garden seat, hia hat drawn over his eyes. A man of middle age, with dark- brown hair and beard just touched with g n y, keen gray eyes, and severe ex- pivtsion. Tlie two women went on with the discussion, and never dreamed of the listener without. "1 would not willingly grlovo or cross yon, Lucia," Mrs. Denello was saying sadly, "but I shall never give my consent." "Then" — rebelllonsly — "wo shall either have to marry without it, or— forgive me, mamma"—with a littlo cry of [tain at sight of her mother's distress. "No, I would never do that. Uut I would bo doomed to a life of loneliness and tinhappiness; and I know that that would mako you unhappy, too." Mrs. Denello mado no reply, and Lucia went on with tho task beforo her. All day long she worked; cooking, ironing, and mending for the noisy, mischievous six, lilted the timo of overflowing. But Lucia, pale nud patient, worked away, and nothing was loft undone. When tho sun had set and twilight had fallen over tho green earth liko a benediction, when tho last younrato? was tucked away in his littlo bod, then Lucia was at liberty. Sho throw a fleecy white wrap about her shoulders, and wont out into the dusky grounds, A littlo later Stuart Harland joined her. Tall and graceful was tho young artist, with clear-cut features, large, luminous dark oyes, nnd a dark mustache; a face to attract any woman. And Lucia knew how good and truo he was, and hor whole heart was in tho keeping of this man, whoso only fault was poverty. In golden silence the two paced on together down tho tangled garden path. At last Stuart Harland turned, and his dark eyes met Lucia's with a silent question in their depths. She shook her golden head slowly, sadly. "It is useless, sweetheart," she said softly. "I have spoken to mother. I wisbod to prepar her for your intended interview to-morrow; but*, Stuart, it is quite useless—quite. Sho will never consent to our marriage; and—I cannot blame her. poor little motherl Itwould be separation for us both, perhaps forever. Oh, Stuart, Stuart!"—tho golden head wont down upon his shoulder, aud the sweet voice broke into sobs and tears—"I cannot glvo you up!" "And yon shall not," he murmured tenderly. "We will wait, dear love." "I shall be old and grey and ugly/' sho was beginning. Hut bo stooped and kissed the Bweot red lips. "You may be ai old as Methuselah, and grey as a badger—ugly you nover enn be under any circumstances, little woman!—but you shall be my wife fust the same. I will never givo you up." And so tholr troth was pledged anew; and Stuart Harland went Lome through tho silvery moonlight with a tender smllo upon his lips, and his dark eyes shining with a happy light. "I wonder who this fellow can be of whom Lucia told mo to-night," ho queried, as he walked along. "It is a new arrival here, who has purchased IkiHdiwot)d****(^ndold|ilao9-*ndLucia says sho met him lut summer while aha was away in the West teaching school. A rich western merchant' and —by Jove I who Is that?" A tall, dark form loomed up before him in the moonlight; an elderly man. at Bight ot whom Stuart involuntarily balled.

"is—that you resign all pretensions to Lucia Denello's handi That you go away and leave the coast clear. What do yon say?" Trembling like a leaf, pale as marble, his great dark eyes blazing *****ith indignation, Stuart turned with uplifted hand. "Only your grey haire deter mo from cbnstu'ing you. as you.deBerye!"—ho ground tho words forth between his set tooth. "Out of my path, Mark Dysa'rt, or I shall forget myself, and striko you down nt my loot!" "Softly, softly, young man!" cried tha ottier, lightly. "I meant no harm.

And iho white arms went around Mrs. DouL'ltoa neck, and Lucia's lips wer-1 pressed against her mother's. ".Mamma, it is all so strange! I ran scarcely believe it oven yet! But"— she stopped short, blushing prettily— "they aro coining!" "'ihtiy" proved to bo -Stuart Harland and Mr, Dysart. Mrs. Denello looked profoundly surprised aa tho two men, arm-in-arm, entered the cool, airy room where she sat. "My dear Mrs. Denelle," began Mark Dysart, at onco, "I have wonderful news to toll you! This young mau hem, Mr. Stuart Harland. Is my dead sister's only child, and, being next of kin, ho will bo sole heir to my. possessions. I havo proved his worth.

Notwithstanding the groat opposition to the Southern Railway project the arrangements for its construction are proceeding steadily. Tho contract for some 50,000 ties has been lot ancl a large number of men aro now employed cutting them. Mv. Loamy will commence tn build tho half mile of crib-work, ubovo tlio liatcliery, in it few weeks, anil the g.-adingof the lino will be got under way as boon ns thu days lengthen; Fivo hundred men nro engage*.! to boyin work on Jan. 3rd if tlio weather will permit. Tho Southern still lives, and work will be proceeded with according to promise notwithstanding all the injunction-, which have, or may be, obtained. A Pad Slate or Affairs. Tho morality of Victoria must bo getting veiy low indeed. Tho papers an- continually publishing accounts of disgraceful occurrences in bagnios and in the streets, even tn daylight, and now the Colonist chronicles the following:— "A gentleman on whose hands time lay heavily amused himself yesterday afternoon by counting 37 drunks passing n given point on Store street m half an hour. They embraced almost every nationality and illustrated every degreo of intoxication, though all retained Benao enough to behave." It is safe to say no city in the Dominion of Canada could show such a record, and unless steps nro tnken to remedy the many existing evils in the capital city, ita once fair name will bo irrecoverably lost. Tho result of the football match at Vancouver on Saturday proves very conclusively that whilo (he Westminster club has been resting quietly on the honors it won ao easily, the Vancouver club has been steadily practicing and is now in trim to meet any club in the province on equal footing. From being the worst playing club two months ago it is now probable tbe best, while the exact reverse of theso conditions is the caae with Westminster. The return match with Vancouver will be played on Saturday next and if Westminster expects to win it must have at least two practices during this woek. Westminster does uot wish to Iobo the honors it has gained, and the football club, which has done so well in the past, is expeoted to maintain the samo leading place in the future. l'vangelht Cowboy. Interest in the case of Rev. G. W. Rasuro hns not at aU abated, and continues to be a prevailing topic of conversation on the streets and elsewhere in the city. On Friday night tho Baptist church was crowded, and a large number was unable to obtain admittance, Mr. Rasuro waxed warm in his own defence, and expressed hia determination to stay right with them nnd see it through. The matter, however, has evidently preyed upon his mind, and sflectod him to no small degree. Saturday morning he was quite out of eorls physicially, and lose night was not at tho meeting. Rev. W. Kennedy at tho close announced ns the cause that Mr. Rasuro was seriously ill. Mr, Chamberlain, a co-worker with the Cowboy Evangelist nt Windsor, Out., in religious revival, arrived last n:*-*ht by tho steamer Premier.— NewaAdvcrti^r. ♦ ,.*■**-♦ Ti*c"< Imnnf 1 Improvement*, The work en the mattrasaes at the sandheads will be relinquished for somo time, the snag-boat Sampson being needed on other work. The suet-ess of the experiment of confining the river flow to one channel has proved very gratifying, there being 17 ft. of water at tho lowest tide, which with 10 ft. additional at high tide gives a sufficient depth of water to allow any vessel now plying to Pacific coast porM to enter the river. This must put aside any doubt thero mny have been, as to the possibility of ocean-going vessels orossing the sandheads at all seasons of the -/ear, and a feeling uf confidence will stimulate the lioynl City Planing Mills Co., Roas, McLaren & Co., and others now engaged in the oxport trade upon the river. Mr. Hill, C.E., is to be congratulated upon the success of the work carried out under his superintendence. **m* Llcenslni Board. The licensing board met nt 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon; R, Dickinson. J. S. Cluto, T. C. Atkinson, Capt. Pittendrich, H. L. DeBeck, Ben. Douglas, 11. Mathers, and James Cunningham, J. P.'s, on the bench. An application was read /or a transfer of A. R. Mcintosh's license in the old Caledonian hotel, to Mr. H. V, Edmonds, for the spmo building which now standa on the corner of Columbia and Douglas atreota. A f urthor application was mado by A. R. Mcintosh for a new licenso for a hotel in the brick block on the Douglas eatate, Front atreet. After due consideration the court granted a new hotel license to A. R. Mcintosh, and the application of Mr. Edmonds for a transfer of the old Caledonian hotel license to the same building on the corner of Oolumbia and Douglas street, was refused. Mr. Tnwnley,for Mcintosh; Mr Jenns, for Edmonds, PERSONAL. Jas. Orr, M.P.P., was in town yesterday. His Lordship Bishop Sillitoe preached at Kamloops yesterday.

An occurence took placo on Saturday night, whioh, though it cannot be commended, shows the intense popular feeling the citizens of Westminster bear towards the Southern Railway project. It was the burning in effigy of four prominent injunctors. These gentlemen are supposed by the general public to be endeavoring to prevent tho construction of the railway, nnd tho popular manifestation againat them on Saturday night was probably intended to bIiow that such a course was not favored by the great majority of the citizens of Now Westminster, Tho eltigics were pelted with rotten eggs and finally burned. Fully 2000 peoplo were present and almost evoryono of these seonied to bo friendly towards tho umiiifostnlioii. Katie 1'iilunui. The Katie Putnam Company arrived from Victoria yesterday and will bo at Herring's Opera Houso to-night. Miss Putnam is a prime favorite in America from Bangor, Maine, to Sun Francisco, nud it is aaid that the moro announcement of her name is enough to (ill nny theatre in the United Status, "Dud's Girl," a romantic comedy-drama, by E. J. Swart--., in which Miss Putnam will appear to-night, is n charming dramatic play of which tho Helena Montana Daily Record saya:—■' 'Dad's Girl' is n pretty play," was thu expression heard last evening as the immense audience emerged from Ming's opera houso, nf tor witnessing the piny named as above, as produced by the Katie Putnam Company. And indeed it iB a pretty play, far excelling any heretofore rendered by the company and well merits its repetition as proposed to-night. Its situations are extremely touching, tho passages from the humorous to tho pathetic, being bo striking aa to imbue the audience with a feeling essential, leading to the success of the play. Sweet Katie Putnam was at her best, and as for the remainder of the company, they were not one whit be hind in sharing the honors of the star, "Dad's Girl" is a play that must bo seen to be appreciated; its surprise, episodes and mountings beiug such as to almost preclude description. LATE CANADIAN NEWS. The Inland Revonue receipta at Winnipeg for November are over £60, 000. Madame Larocque, convicted of manslaughter at Aylmor, got off with six months' imprisonment. The licensed hotel keepers, of Ottawa, will boycott all brewers who supply liquor to licensed groggeries.

Winnipeg parttea are applying for power to connect tho waters of Lake Winnipeg with tho Assiniboine river. Ottawa will name one of its chief thoroughfares after the premier, as a compliment to him on his 74 birthday. Col. White, the apostle of annexation, has consented toaccept a nomination for the mayoralty of Windsor, Ontario. Chief McRae left for Fargo Saturday morning to prosocute Gillett, ac- cuaed of committing forgery in Winnipeg last June. The Winnipeg nnd Northern Pacific Railway is applying for power to extend the timo of tho commencement of construction for six years. At a meeting of tho Ontario cabinet council Friday, tho formal order-in- council calling tho legislature for tho despatch of business on the 24th of January, was passed. In the supreme court, Ottawa, Friday, in the Hnldimand election case, tho appeal was allowed with costs, thus unseating Dr. Montague,- conservative, and ordering a new election,' ' Sir John Macdonald nnd other members of the cabinet deny tho ynrn of tho London Standard that the Canadian Pacific Railway offered to sell its monopoly in Manitoba for £3,000,- 000. Arthur Jackson, collector for the Hudson's Bay stores, has skipped the country. He was in Grand Forks, Dakota, when last heard from. He took with him all the money -lie collected aince the 5th. Notice ia given of the establishment of a fog alarm operated by steam and compressed air at Point Atkinson light station on the north side of Burrard Inlet.

McLachlan who left Toronto leas than a year ago to take charge of the St. Paul Institute at Tarsus, in Asia Minor, la dead. Mr. McLachlan was married only on the eve of his departure. There is general sympathy for him in hia aad bereavement. It is reported at Ottawa, on excellent authority, that the Olemow syndicate have Bold out all their franchise in the great Northwestern Central Railway to a financially powerful Eng' liah syndicate, and that the latter will take right hold of the work and push it forward with great vigor. Fred A. Kain, o" FeryPoint, Ont, a fireman on the steamer Mary Ethel, has eloped with his sister, who ii the mother of six illegitimate children by a man named Davy, at Niagara. She went to Ferry Point recently on a visit to her brother, who is married and hai three children. The brother fell passionately in love with his own siator and tho pair hove disappeared. The Globe commenting on the But- terworth resolutions uys: "Nothing can be said for Mr. Buttcrworth'scuri- ious proposal. If it is adopted by congress it would probably lead to a thorough understanding of Canadian opinion. As to the project of practical union with the United States we hayo no doubt that the judgement of the Canadians would bo such as to cure our neighbors of a delusion that has long kept them from an attempt to make the best possible of political separation of the two countries. The papers at Ottawa assail M***- Benjamin Butterworth for his prelum- tuoui proposals to acquire Canada. Sir John Macdonald when interviewed apoke in a a non-committal manner aa follows: "I do not care to express my opinion on tho propriety of the step, there ia an implied rule prohibiting the criticism of tho proceedings of oither branch of our legislature by a member of tho other division, and the same rule ought to hold equally good with respect to n foreign legislature. The proposition of Mr.B utterworth in its present utate. na I understand it, is n purely domestic matter. Thero will he timo enough to discuss the proposition when it comes before us officially." B.
