Among the latest announcements of international congresses at Paris aro one of botany during the second half of August, and one of mines and metallurgy early in September, . Dairy schools, at a cost not exceeding §55,000 a year, hnve increased Denmark's butter export in twenty years frpm $2,100,000 of poor quality to $13,000,000 of excellent quality annually. To the perfumes ef flowers M. lingerer ascribes the power of protecting against, and even arresting, consumption. In the perfume-distilling town of La Grasso lung troubles are but little known. A complete list of the Horn of SNcvvfoundland and Labrador, in "preparation by Rev. A. 0. Wag- horno, will contain about 900 species of (lowering plants, about 50 ferns, and over 250 mosses and lichens. Some quarts crystals included in an exhibit of American jewel minorals, prepared for the Paris Exhibition by Tiffany & Oo., are curious ou account of their minute size and perfection, there being 7500 to the ounce. A mechanician of Danzig has constructed a hand fog-horn that may be heard ten miles. With a second horn of lower pitch to mark the divisions between letters, whole sentences can be clearly transmitted by the Morse or other code of signals, In Dr. B. W. Richardson's lethal chamber, in London, 100,000 homeless dogs have been put to death painlessly, with five affected with rabies. A lethal muzzle , for dogs has been instructed, to be used in the streets by the police, and also a similar muzzle for horses. A botanist and a chemist of Berlin, Profs. R. Hertig and R. Weber, have given two years to an investigation of the wood of the beech, cutting up in the course of their work more than 100 trees of all ages. An account of the results forms a large book of 238 pages. In experiments by Drs. Straus and Dubarry, of Paris, the bacillus of charbon wus found living iu water after 131 days, where it formed spores; thut of typhoid fever, after 81 days; and that of Asintio cholera, after 39 doys. Even this duration of life in theso germs is probably not the maximum. The children of women addicted to the morphine habit are stated by Erlenmeyer to be practically morphine-eaters from birth. Without morphine during tho first few days of life, the violent symptoms are manifested whioh follow the sudden withdrawal of the drug from adult opium-eaters, and the result to the weak child is likely to bo fatal. As Important Food. Tho value of dried potatoes as an articlo of food is urged by Dr. Jakov M. Shmulevitch. Among tho advantages claimed is that it keeps much better than the fresh potatoes, and, being far lighter and less bulky, is moro readily transported. Before cooking, the dried potato is macerated in water for ten or twelve hours. Oxyoxx is Industries.—Oxygon is now prepared in London at a cost of not more than $1.75 per thousand cubic feet, and it bids fair to come into extensive use for various purposes, some of which were lately mentioned to the Society of Ohemi cal Industry by Dr. T. L. Thome. It is almost always the true agent in bleaching operations, and a stream of the gas applied to the bleaching of paper pulp has ell'ect- ed a saving of thirty per cent. It can be used in the purification of illuminating gas; and when applied to the maturing of spirits mellows them in ten days as if they had been kept for several years. Tun SkaSkiifknt.—An English naturalist, Mr. A. H. Swinton, has collected and analyzed over ono hundred notices—ancient und modern, truo and fictitious—relatiug to the great sea-serpent. He is thus forced to the conclusion that the creature is "a vonorable sailor's yarn derived from oculur impression, whilo, quite apart from all other considerations, it is mainly impossible that a species of sir-breathing serpent should lie at the bottom of the ocean and be so seldom seen." He finds thst tho enormously long tentacular arms of the giant squids or calamnrs- distinguished from the better known kuttle-fish by their cylindrical bodies —have given rise to a story of the groat sea-serpent. Paper Materiaia—A writer on "the age Of pulp," upon which we have entered, declares that paper- makers are not likely to suffer lack of raw material. Few fibrous substances—sueh as esparto grass, straw and wood—have as yet practically taken the place once occupied exclusively by rags, but pulp has been successfully obtained from East India ramie, pineapple fibres, bamboo, bagape (the refuse from sugar canes), peat, broken or common fern, flags, rushes, seaweed, tan and hop stalks. Paper has been made in Scotland from hollyhock stems; in Ireland from the mallow, red clover, hop vine, and yellow water iris; in Domarara from the plantain; and in France from leaves. Arbor day was quietly obierved at Winnipog yesterday. AMERICAN DEFENCES. A Great Warship to be Built for American Defences on the Pacific Coast. The Copper Conference at Paris Ends in a Complete Failure. Distrusted Americans. A Great Storm Levels the City of Tahiti and Great Damage is Done. Children Cryfor Pltcher'jCastoria KEW COAST DEFENCE VESSEL. Washinoton, Mav 4. — Secrotary Tracy tu-day awarded to tbo Union Iron Worka- of San Francisco, the contract for constructing ths great armored coast defence vessel, at a enst of 81,(128,000. The new vessel is to have a length of 256 feet, with a breadth of 60 feet and 4000 tons displacement. Sho will bo protected hy a Belt of Bteel armour, sixteen inches thick over the engines, boilers and magazines, and eight inches thick forward and aft The specifications call for 5,400 horse power. The new vessel will bo a departure in design frum any vessel in the navy, will be the moat formidable vessel for her displacement of any iu the world, and able to cope with anything afloat' She approximates the monitor type, and is of 5000 tons displacement in cruising trim. When she goes into action, by taking on water ballast, ahe sinka until her deck is but eighteen inches abuvo water level, thus diminishing the size of the target opposed to < its opponent. But her most remarkable feature will be tho tremendous power of her arnia ment, on the forward barbette. Mounted on a turntublo and manipulated by a hydraulic power, she will carry a sixteen inch rifle, weighing 110 tone and49 feet long, one of the largest guns afloat. In rear of the barbette there will be a 12 inch rifle, weUliing 46 and one half tons. A fifteen inch dynamite gun 50 feet long wilt project from tho bow and in othor places the vessel will carry six 23 pounders, threo 9 pounders, ell revolving cannon and rapid firing guns, Tho machine guns and electric search lights,on tho hollow steel military mast, will complote the ship, which will take 3i years to build. AZTEC ANTIQUITIES SEIZED. El Paso Del Norte, May 4,—Some 28 oases, containing Aztec antiquities, whioh have been purchased by Adolph Sutn- in tho city of Mexico aud other important places in the republic, have beon seized by the Mexican customs officials. The officials claim that the antiquities aro contraband, and that thoy will bavo to turn them over to the. general government, Remonstrances are being mado to the Mexican officials by tho Americans, but the only satisfaction given by the Mexican authorities is that there is a law in Mexico which prevents the exportation of Aztec antiquities. TO VISIT CANADA. Chicago, May 4.—A visit by the interstate commerce commissioners to Canada, for tho purpoie of observing and studying Ub railways and their relations to the U. S. in the matter of traffio, is regarded as probablo in the near future. It is believed such & visit would have a' good effect in enlightening the people of both countries on tho unity of their interests. wuitelaw reid. New York, May 4.—Among the passengers on the French line steamship L. Bourgogne was Hon. Whitulaw Reid, minister to France, and Mrs. Reid. He was i*iven a farewell dinner at Delmonico's last night by the members of the Tribune staff. POSSID1L1TTES OF A K, R. WAA. San Fhanoisco, May 4.—A local railroad man, speaking to-d&y of the Northern Pacifio and Union Pacifio controversy, said: "If it should Come to a war the Northern Pacifio is the only road in a position to moke a stubborn tight for the Puget Sound travel. The reason is very plain. In the first place the Northern Pacific has a vast amount of land that it is anxious to sell, in order that the territory through which it passes may be settled ss speedily as possible. It could well afford to carry settlers for nothing for a timo. Just now thoro is great interest throughout the east concerning tho Pacific Northwest. Tacoma and Seattle are both booming, and.I have no hesitancy in saying that if a war nf rates should come, in six months time no loss than fifty thousand people would bo carried into Washington Territory by the Northern Pacific. However, 1 itin not very apprehensive of suoh a war, but if it does como the chief benefit will be derived by the Northern Pacific. AIIK1VK1) IN SAFETY. San Francisco, May 4.—Tho Bulk- entina City of Papeete, considerably overdue from Tahiti, and wliich it was ft uved bud boon lost in thu hurricane that proved so disastrous at Samoa, came into fort this morning, having been delayed by gales and adverse winds. FEH9ENDON NOT A DEFAULTER. Boston, Muy 4.—Concerning tho reports circulatod concerning Treasurer Fossenduu, of the Capo Cod Canal, whose statement from San Francisco was published to-day, F. A. Lock wood, of the Canal Co., says he knows nothing of Fessendon's relations with the Co, that would warrant anything like tho statement printed. Fcssen- don went to California two weeks ago. Everybody who had an intorost in the matter knew whon he went. "I don't know anything of his indebtedness," said Lookwood, "except he Is all straight with the Capo Cod Ship Canal. His accounts as treasurer sro all right," Mr. Lookwood thought the talk about Fossendon malicious and inspired by enemies. Thomas J. Marsh who htm business relations with Fessendon for many years said he knew Fessendon was going to California. He went out with hii wife and daughther somo time ago, aud leaving them there returned to Sandwich. Two weeks ago ho went out again. Marsh considered Fessendon a man of integrity-. TUB COri'ER CONFERENCE FAILS. Boston, Mass., May 4,—The morning Herald has a threo column osble dispatch Irom Paris of the failure of the copper conference. Tho amount of copper held for money advanced to tho syndicate, il about 175,000 tons, 150,000 of which is in Paris and the rest in London. The principle Pan's holders are the Bank of France, whioh haB 60,000 tons, and the Rothschilds have 40,000 tons. Baring Bros, are tho largest English holders. Tbe Rio Tinto Company insists tbat the American mines should send only twenty per cent of their output of copper to Europe. Colonel Li verm ore, representing the Calumet & Hecla Company, would not agree. Tho conference hits failed to arrive at auy agreement, written or verbal, and hus broken up without fixing a price. The American committee has left Paris in disgust, uud will sail from Liverpool for New York to-day. TUB TRACKAGE AGREEMENT New Xork, May 4. — President Harris of the Northern Pacifio says that Mr. Adam's genenl idea of a joint trackage agreement, as expressed in his letter, is this: That lu eastern Oregon and esstern Washington the Northern Pacifio aud Union-Pacific shall eaoh have access by contract to the branch roads controlled by each other, and avoid unnecessary dupli cation of railroads. The matter is in condition for negotiation, GREAT STORS AT TAHITI. San Francisco, May 4,—The hark- entine City of Papette, which arrived from Tahiti thii- morning brings news of tho terrific galo which struck the Island about the same time as Samoa was visited. The storm levelled almost everything standing to the ground, but, fortunately, no lives were lost. The storm was so continuous that the Pa- pette was unable to enter the city of Tahiti for seven days. In the city the streets were so littered with debris that business was at a standstill when the vessel loft. BRUTAL MURDERER. Trov, N. Y..

San Francisco, May 3.—Among the cargo of tho steamer San Bias,' whioh arrived yesterday from Panama were nine boxes of oranges,. The boxes wero from Mazatlan, and wero consigned to this oity. As the unloading uf tlm vessel's cargo was in progress, tho boxes excited the suspicions of the customs officers, owing to their unusual shape. The officers opened one of the boxes, and were surprised to find that the contro portion of the box was packed with cigars, which wero surrounded with oranges. An examination of the other eight cases found them also filled with cigars, all of which wero seized and confiscated by the customs officers, Tho seizure amounted in value to about $1,000. paunoeforte at the white house. Washington, May 3.*—Secretary Blaine introduced Sir Julian Paunoe- forte, the British minister, to the president to-day. Paunceforte's address was as follows: "Mr. president, sir, I have the honor to place in your hands, the letter from the queen, my august sovereign, accrediting mo as her envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to tho United States. In fulfilling this pleasing duty I desire to express my sense of ths distinguished character and special importance of the mission Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confide to me, and assure you that no effort will bs wanting on my part to worthily discharge the great trust. My utmost endeavors will be devoted to the object which Her Majesty and her poople have so muoh at heart, the maintenance of relations of peace ind friendship whioh happily oxist between Great Britain and the United States, and to strengthen if possible the many ties which unite those two great English-speaking countries, destined to exercise the most beneficial influence for the advancement of civilization and iho promotion of happiness throughout tbo world. I beliove the citizens of thu United States reciprocate the feelings of amity and good will I have expressed, and are animated by the most kindly sentiments toward Her Majesty's people. 1 am also convinced that in my relations with tho government of the country over which you proside I shall meet with that spirit of justice and conciliation for which its statesmen are so eminently distinguished; such qualities it will ever. be my earnest wish tu emulate. The circumstance that I enter upou my diplomatic functions at the time of the Washington centennial, when a national tribute is being offered by this country to the memory of the greatest of her sous, will ever be associated in my memory with the distinguished honor I have had this day, of bmng presented co the Chief of the States." Kick Strike at Kootenay. The latest nows from Kootenay lake speaks uf the new strike in the No. 1 mine aa being larger and richer than was at first supposed. It is impossible to tell the oxtent of the oro body. As the incline penetrates the mountain it increases in size, until now, it is said, they havo ore under and over the drive, and on each side. It has been found 15 feet through at one plaoe. This ore goes up in tho hundreds of ounces of silver to the ton. The No. 1 now bids fair to eclipse the Hall's mine at Toad Mountain.—Spokane Re- Luoius Tuttlo, late general passenger traffic manager of thoC. P.

INVITED TO DINS, Paris, May 4.—The ambassadors or ministers of all but three foreign powers hate accepted invitations to dine with President Carnot on the 15th of Muy, on tbo occasion of the opening of the exposition. THF SUGAR BILL. London, May 4.—Tbe revolt of the supporters of the government against the sugar bounties bill, gains in strength every day. Something like 70 unionists members of the house of commons have decided to oppose the. bill. Theso include Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Randolph Churchill and Lord Harttngton. This means a set back for the Times unless something happens to prevent it. The powers who have sent delegates to the conference on tho sugar bounties law meeting in London may relieve the government from the difficulty in whioh it finds itself, by serious rupture among them- Belves. Differences havealready amen in the conference and these are probably encouraged by Lord Salisbury. If the convention should collapse, ttie premier could withdraw his bill without facing the humiliation of defeat in parliament, and it is thought he is trying to bring this about. The liberals have naturally expected to weaken and embarrass the government by accomplishing the defeat of tlie bill by tho aid of the Hartington faction and outside skirmishers, but they are likely to be* disappointed. The result on the contrary will rather tend to strengthen tho tories with the working men who support the measure. The government will be able to say "We desire to protect your interests, but we were hot allowed to," while to the opposition it can say "Wo found the bill waa regarded as a breach of free trade principles and therefore did not press it upon the house." The pretense in either case would be pretty thin, particularly as Lord Salisbury is probably doing his best to make the bill impossible for his own political ends, but the story in tha. first instance is quite likely to be swallowed. THE VANDELEUR ESTATES. London, May 4.—Sir Chas. Russell - has deoided, in reference to the rental disputes on the Vandeleur estates, that tenants shall pay a year's rent to March 1889. Orders have been forwarded for the release of Wm. O'Brien and Harrington from jail, in order that they may testify before the Parnell commission. THE PARNELL COMMISSION. London, May 3.—In his cross-examination to-day, Mr. Parnell denied knowing "Number One." either under the name of Tynan or any other. He had never heard Egan associated with the "Martyr's fund." He saw nothing criminal in the fund but rather thought it was right to assist the innocent victims of tho martyrs. The sensational incident of to-day's examination occurred when Sir R. Webster quoted a statement by Mr. Parnell during the debate on Mr. Font* er's bill in 1881, suspending the habeas corpus act, to the effect that secret societies bad thon ceased to exist in Ireland. Sir Richard asked Mr Parnell if he believed the statement when he' made it? Mr. Parnell: "No; at any rate it was an exaggerated statement, SirR. Webster: "Did you, or did you not, misstate the fact when you made that statement?" Mr Parnell admitted that he had made the statement knowing it to be wrong, or at least extravagant. He further admitted that ho had never withdrawn the statement. His purpose in making it was to ex* aggerate the effect which the league had in eradicating secret societies. CORRESPONDENCE. A Voice From flamy. Editor Colum wan.—It Is generally believed that editors of papers aro in. the confidence of railway companies, especially if they are not opposed to them. Knowingthatyour paper has always heartily supported tbe Southern Railway scheme, perhaps you ean ' give some idea when that railway and traffic bridgo will be open for the convenience of travellers. It will be a great boon for tlio farmers on tho south side of the Fraser when tbey can load their teams and pass right over to New Westminster without the fear of being swamped in the old ferry boat. It makes us feel nervous when wo hear of tbe haste and despatch with which the C, P.R. is building a bridgo over theriver np atthe Mission, Wo aro beginning to fear that wo will get loft behind. A bridge connecting Westminster with the settlers on the south aide of tho river would be a mutual benefit, and would have paid both parties concerned, if they hsd united their orcdit for that purpose long ago. Cities are not built up by railway so much as they are by uninterrupted local trade with produces and consumers, Hurry up that bridgo if you want the farmers' trade, which Is getting of still mote Importance. Wo aro not tbo poor isolated settlers that we used to be when the merchants of New Westminster turned np their noses at us. Fajsmib. A party under Chief Grier left Bat Portage to go up the lake after Red- don, and surrounded him on a point of the mainland and secured his tent and camp outfit and arrested Joe Thompson, a eanoe man, but Beddon escaped in the uuderbrush.

P -V w\\) jBritiah ialumbian -ialur-l-ty Evening, Mny *. 1999. The Winnipeg Commercial thus compliments tho British Columbia boards of trade, and our own board particularly : The advantage arising from tho work of well organized and active boards of trado was recently demonstrated in the case of the 0. P. It. bridge across tlie Fraser River in British Oolumbia. Tho 0. P. R. Co. recently commenced tho construction of n bridge across the FraBer River at Mission Station, a point on its main line east of Van- couver, where connection is to be mado with a road running south to Puget Sound. Plans were prepared for a bridge with a draw span of only sixty feet. This soon came to the knowledge of the New Westminster board of trade, and a vigorous protest was at once made. New Westminster is, of course, the city most directly interested in the free navigation of the Fraser river. It j was pointed out that so narrow a span in the bridge would be a serious impediment to navigation and a dangerous obstruction to place across tbe river. Tbe C. P. R, Co. at first declined lo chan^? the plans of the bridge, and then sought a compro mias. But the board remained firm, and isa-sted that the draw should be not less than 100 feet The Victoria and Vancouver boards of trade followed np the action of the Westminster board. An appeal was made to Ottawa, and it is now announced that the C.P.R has been obliged to give in to the demands of the boards. But for the timely action of tbe boards of trade, it is more than probable tbat a bridge would bave been built across the river which wonld have proved a aerious obstruction io navigation. Oivic corporations cannot be de pended npon to look sharply after the many questions of this nature which are continually arising, and besides in nine cases out of ten, a board of trade will carry more weight in a matter of this nature than a town council. Town councils are often the result of wire pulling and political scheming) while thia is not the case with a board of trade. The latter is invariably composed of the representative men of a place, while the former frequently is not. Tho board of trade is therefore as a rule better qualified to give an intelligent and unbiassed decision upon questions, than is the average civic council. British Columbia is to be' congratulated upon her thoroughly organized and energetically conducted boards of trade. Mr. Slaven, president of the American Dredging Company, which hns had a large contract on the Panama canal, has just returned to New York from Paris, whither he went to meet the directors' and stock-holders of tho canal company, says an exchange. In an interview with a Herald reporter he gave some interesting information concerning M. DeLesseps* "great ditch." The amount so far spent on tho canal, he says, is about $250,000,000, and to show for this there is only about fifteen miles of completed work, thirty feet deep, on the eastern end, and the uncompleted Culebra cut. The latter is the sticking point, the highest point of the cut lieing over three hundred feet above sea level, and the amount of work yet to be done in it enormous. The French engineers made a sad mistake in their calculations as to the slope which it would be necessary to give the banks of the cut. It was soon found tbat the earth would not stand at the angle allowed it, and the -result is tbat the amount of excavation in-.'■:..•.■■ try is just twice what it was first estimated at. Into the Cuk-iji.-- cut the company's money I-;-:, been poured like water, and much of it has been wasted. Tbe French are magnificent engineers, Mr. Slaven says, but on the Isthmus tbey have been hampered in every possible way by red-tapeisra. Under tlie bureau system there are about seven chiefs and sub-chiefs to every latiorer, and the maintenance of suoh a staff has alone cost bun dreda of thousands of dollars. In the care of the plant', moreover, the utmost carelessness has been shown. Aores of machinery, much of which has never been used, is rusting away without any effort being made to Sroteot or Bave it. The canal can e completed, Mr, Slaven says, for about.9200,000,000 more, but the money ia not forthcoming; Not that the French people have, lost faith in M, DeLesseps, but their savings are alt gone, ahd they hnve no more to invest in shares. The original company represented them; Uio second on* represent* the capitalists. The Utter, with the. Credit Foncierat their head and the Comptoir d'Ks- compteat their backs,, would probably nave been able to raise the funds required for the completion of the work, but just as the arrangements were being made the failure of the copper syndicate shook the French banks to their foundations, and the scheme has been dropped for the prenenfc "There are no more people | The edifying spectacle is presented jusb now in Great Britain of Lord Salisbury and tho Conservative- Unionist govornmont grimly determined to hold unto their seats for tho remaining three years of the natural torm of the present parliament—which their majority in the house, notwithstanding it is being decreased by tho by-elections, will probably enable them to do—in defiance, if need be, of tho sentiment of the country towards them. By that timo it is devoutly hoped by these pertinacious bench-warmers that tho "Grand Old Man" may have passed from earth away, and Home Rulo have lost ut once its redoubtable champion and chief power for striking terror and defeat into the Conservative-Unionist ranks. An exchange thinks that such hopes have the slimest sort of mud-sill, and supports the idea well, as follows:' The Unionists are calculating closely upon Mr. Gladstone's chanco of living three years and retaining sufficient physical and intellectual power to carry Home Rule into effect. They are overlooking the almost inevitable result which would follow his death, if the lost great work of his wonderful career were left unfinished. Gambetta as premier brought forward a large measure and was defeated. Within a few months thereafter he (lied, and the policy which he had advocated was adopted by the Republican legislators without a sti uggle, almost without debate. Mr. Gladstone is the greatest figure in English public life since Chatham and Pitt. The death of so illustrious an Englishman—and Christendom unites in the hope that it may long be deferred—would be certain to impart an immediate impulse to the cause of race reconciliation with which he has been identified during his closing years. The Cnionists may succeed in wearing out the veteran statesman, who is now rapidly ageing. They cannot guard against the popular reaction in favor of Home Rule which would follow his premature disappearance, Whether Mr. Gladstone lives or dies, Home Rule is something that must inevitably have a trial. An Irish parliament may not last ten years, but whether it be crowned with success and prosperity or bo doomed to premature failure, with complete disenchantment of tho unhappy, impoverished population who aro now grounding upon it extravagant hopes, it must come. The English people, after tinkering for twenty years with the land laws and allowing themselves to become half converted to Home Rule, will be compelled to try Mr. Gladstone's experiment. Liberal advocacy of the Irish causo has done more to bring tho two races together than -iOO years of coercion, The Euglish people appreciate the significance of this fact when they see Edinburgh opening its gates to Mr. Parnell and listen to the Irish members cheering with tumultuous enthusiasm when Mr, Gladstone speaks in the commons. They know that force has never boen a remedy for Irish discontent. They nre gradually becoming convinced that Home Rule is a remedy that must at least be triod. 1 NEW WESTMINSTER Real Estate and Financial Agency RICHARDS, HAYWOOD & MACKINTOSH, Conveyancers & Notaries Public.

The Man Who First Popularized Swift Retribution. TT*m Ule Services Which Ho Rendered tbe Proud Dominion of Virginia Aro Appreciated hy tlie l'rosent Generation. ... Says tho Lynohburf? (Va.- correspondent of the Inter Ocean.' While chatting with an old antiyuanan in his cool library this afternoon, I casually inquired how this town came by Ite peculiar suggestive name. " Did the original judge of dreadful fame ever live here!" I asked. *■ Yos, tto did," ropded tho old gentleman, with brightening eyes, that revealed delight in tho topic. "Judge Lynch innjht fairly be called the founder of tbo city, and ft makes mo angry to boo all these newspaper stories, not only locating blm in other States, but condemning his mode of- procedure as Infamous bud brutal." '•Then you believe In tho summary method ot dealing with sinful men!" "Not so fast, young lady, not so fast," said the tine old Virginian, smiling, "I will tell you the story just as I had it from my grandfather, wbo was proud of his ac- (-ualntance with that shrewd ferryman who wiped tho crime of horso-stoaling, for which tho Stnte was growing famous, right out. Why, Virginians wero notorious for tho lovo of other men's horses, and evon taught tho trade of acquiring thorn to tho Cherokees and CbickasawB, much to tho disgust and shcuno of tbo better class of citizens." "When was;thisl" queried your correspondent. " Mot long before the revolutionary war, ond at that time thoro wero quito a number of that splendid race, tho Bcotch-Irish, Bottled here. Shrewd and brave, cautious, yot daring, dashing, but prudent, honest and energetic, evory man of tbem proved a great blessing to tbo settlement, and not a few bocarae famous, such bs General Andrew Jackson, James K, Folk, John Cal* houn, Sam Houston, David Crockett, Robert Fulton, Putrick Bronte, and later, Robert Bonner, A, T. Stewart and Horace Greeley. Those names como most readily to mind, but thoro is still another generation of them, including ox-Presidout Arthur and James G. Blaino." " And tho Lynohosl" I ventured, " Wero from the samo stalwart stock and Bottled In Princo William County. There wore four boys In tho family, and one of them, John Lynch, was a bright, quick young fellow and remarkably courageous. One day, in rambling about tbo head of the Jamos river, be found a gap in tho mountains on either sido of the water, which, it struck him, would make a capital crossing point for travelers, nud forthwith ho drovo hiB proprietory stake, and shortly after, \ with a fow logs and a scow, established a primitive ferry. The borsothfovcB wero among tho first to take advantago ot tbe . now convenience, and young Lynch, himself scrupulously honest, was disgusted and humiliated at having to tako them across. At this time the country was sparsely settled, courts were few and jails far apart. The ; ovil continued to increaso; finally the ferry < becamo tho favorito means of escape for . the stock-dealers, and John Lynch, thoroughly aroused, proposed to put an end to it" " What could ho do single-handed?" "Woll, I will toll you what ho actually did. Ho applied to tho Govornor of Virginia for a commission to aot as a justico of tho peace. His reputation for honesty and good judgment was boyond a doubt-, and his commission was granted. Howas qualified and becamo a judgo. Tbo first uso bo mado of bis power was to appoint somo spoolal coii- . stables and cngago a fow sharp detectives. .Thoy at onco began work with such success that gang after gang wna captured." . " Did tboy have no trial j" "Yes. Thoy wore broWght'beforo Judgo Lynch, and ha novor acted until ho was positive of tholr guilt, and his knowlodgo of tho mon und tho country was an immense [ advantago to him. "If ho found them guilty ho would, ac- I cording to tbo law, require a good bond, I which, of course, in thoso days a thief could novor get, and whon, that form was complied with would start thom off,woll guarded, to somo far-away jail. Tho constables knew I what the ordor of march meant, and as Boon as -they found themselves in a thlclt I wood choso a stout trco, and with a good | rope whioh thoy carried created a temporary J scaffold, from which the horso thieves 1 quickly dangled. Hanging was tho legal 1 puuir-bmont for horse stealing in thoso days, [ but the promptness and dispatch with which I Judge Lynch meted out justice at thoir j very door terrorized tho evil-doers of tho [ country, and between thoso ho bung and J those who fled, in two years thero was not a I horse thief In Virginia." "And what becamo of Judge Lynch!" "Ho continued to lire noar tbo ferry, J, round which a largo villogo grew up under [ the namo of Lynch's ferry, and not until I long aftor his death did it become I Lynchburg. During hie lifo lynch law was 1 honored and upheld, but since then it has altogether lost ite original character and moaning. Now, aa I understand It, it is I morely the infuriated impulse of a rough \ mob, wbo, without waiting for tbo law at I hand to prove Innocence or guilt, decido on I it according to tbelr own inclination, and tako a lifo perhaps moro unblemished tban [ thoir own, "No," concluded the old gentleman, r "John Lynch did this Stato a service in ridding it of a lot of miscreants, whom, but for bim, were out of tho roach of tho law; but woro bo living no ono would bo quicker than he to resent thia barbarous mob fashion of putting a man to sudden death .when tbo law, the courts, tbe prison and tbe scat* , fold aro close at hand to mote out justice !,apdpuL'ishment." DEAD-SHOT JIM'S FIGHT. | A Western Hunter'* Torrlble Encounter with ii Huge 1 iinthor. They called him " Dead-Shet Jim." Lean- ling on his riflo, bis bright dagger glistening | iu his bolt, ho told this story of nn encounter I with a panther to a Ban Fraucisco'^-inilner I rcporton "-My two dogn had troed the tin* I iiuul on tho other Bide or tho deep gulch 1 which I would havo to cross mm shaky I fallen tree to roach him. I worked my way I to the fallen trco und started to cross it. I wont vory slowly, as the log was quito Blip* | pery. Uy dogs had ceased tholr uolso when [ I flrst camo in view, but just as I was about; half way across Uio bridgo thoy bogan to bark moro fiercely than over, I thought that perhaps tho animal hod seen mo and was about to jump out of tho tree and mako his cscapo. I stopped in my dangerous walk, and, steadying myself, looked up Into tbe tree. Great Scott I t had soon a great many panthers before and had killed a few, but ! tho ono I saw looking at mo from the I branches of tho oak was larger and fiercer j than any I had ever seen or heard toll about Ho lay crouched along a branch about midway to the top of the oak, and glared at mo with great oyes that gleamed liko balls of fire, From tho moment ho flrst behold me he paid not the slightest attention to the dogs, but kept bis eyes riveted on mo, uttering deep, low growls, and swaying hiB long tail to ana fro. I know that I had no time to loso, but must aot I quickly, aa the varmint was preparing to epringatmo. Bracing myself for the shot I, as best I could ou the slippery tree, I raised \ tho rillo to my shoulder and aimed for the I center of the brute's head. Just as I [pressed the trigger a piece of rotten bark that I was standing on gave way and I i slipped, at tho moment whon tho riflo vomited its load of flro and lead. In saving myself from falling tbe empty gun slipped , from my grasp to tho. rooks below, and I ( would havo followed it had I not lucidly fallen 'astraddle of tho tree. I drow my hunting-knife from my bolt but had ho sooner dono so whon the panther gavo a shriok of mingled pain and rage, and tho noxt moment he bounded from his porch * and landed on the ground within threo foot of ono end Of the log on which I sat. The ball from my rifle bad made a slight wound ln tho brute's head, tho blood from which ran Into hia oyos, making him look terrible in his maddened fury. Hii ej.es wore fastened oa me, ud I knew that his next spring would bring htm within a foot or two ofwherolsat. My faithful dogs wore by this timo at tho roar of the infuriated boast, and before he could leap upon mo they attacked him boldly. He turned with a flash, and with a yell of defiance struck one of tho dogs Buch a blow with hts powerful claws that knocked the poor pup dead into tho river below. The other dog bad gotagrip on ono qf the panther's bind legs and held on gamely. Tho noxt moment tho dog and panther wero rolling on tbo ground in a struggle for tho mastery. Tbo huge beast threw up cloudB of earth aud dead leaves with his sharp claws, and for a time tho combatants were lost to view in tbo dust. Tho strugglo soon ceased, and through tbo falling leaves.I could see tho writhing dog between the jaws of tbe panther. Tho jaws camo together and I could hear tho crunching of bones, and in another moment tho limp body of tho dog was thrown on tho ground, - The panther was now thoroughly enraged. Giving Mb head a shako to free his eyes from tho blood and dirt, ho gavo a yell that nearly froze my blood, and crouched for a spring. I grasped my knlfo firmly in my right hand, and, steadying myself with my left, awaited tho shock. It camo. Tho long, lithe body flashed through tho air, and the noxt moment I was nitting faco to face with the infuriated beast Leaning forward quickly 1 plunged the keen blade onco, twice into tho animal's neck. Tho hot blood spurted iuto my faco. I felt tho breath of tho panther on my cheek, and then tbo powerful paws, armed with tho long, sharp nails, roso in tho air and thon descended on my chest. I felt the sharp claws burning through my flesh. Tho knlfo foil from ray weakoncd grasp and bounded on tho rocks to tbe river below. I folt my brain whirling. I mado a desperate grab at tho panthor boforo me, and, locked In a closo embrace, wo rolled off tbo log and fell togothor on tho rooks bolow. The sun was far down the horizon whon I recovered consciousness. I was not vory seriously hurt, for iu tbo fall Handed on top of the panther, which saved mo from having my bones broken. The huge beast lay dead on tho rocks beside me. Uy knife had touched his heart, and no doubt ho was dead boforo bo a truck the rockB." HIS HAIR TURNED WHITE. A Chicago Business Man's Experiences la tbo Var Northwest. A successful Chicago business man, well known in real-estate circles, regaled a reporter for the Tribune with a bit of personal experience. They met In an office not far from tbo Chicago Opera-House block. Though yot middle-aged, tho man's hair IsgrayalmosttowbitcneBs. On the reporter mentioning this, lio told tbo following story: "In December, 1885, I invested in a copper mine near Bisbeo, A, T., and January 4, 1880, arrived nt Tombstone to examine into my purchase. I bircd a saddle-horse the morning of tbo 5th, and started for Bisbec (thirty-three mile*-), over the trail tbat leads through Cai-r's Canyon in tho Mulo Mountains. When about half the distance bad boen covered my borso stumbled and fell into a washout on tho trail, breaking, a leg. I was thrown heavily, but sustained no severe injuries. What was I to do. I was unarmed, my horso was useless, and I had no alternative but to mako my way to Bisbeo on foot. I pushed ahead and arrived at Sandy Bob's station on tho oro road at noon. I was told that four hostile Indians from Goronlmo'B band bad boon seen in tho vicinity, and that a squaw bad been captured tho day. boforo. I kept on up a narrow canyon, keeping a sharp lookout. A pack train of troop I, Fourth Cavalry, passed me In single file. Shortly aftor it had passed I heard two shots down tho canyon. Then I-"began to get norvous. Looking bock I sawtwo Indians- on my trail. They were trotting. Abovo mo tho cliffs towered to tho heavens; below was a deep abyss. I saw tho futility of hiding, and was unablo to outrun the bostilcs. My mind was quickly made up. I would loap from tho precipice beforo I would surrender and Undergo tlio devilish tortures and horrible death of an Apaeho prisoner. As thoy camo noarer I backed up to tho cliff and awaited them with knlfo in hand. To my Joy, as thoy camo nearer, I -found tbem to ho Indian scouts of tho Government. 1 traveled with tbem for three milos. I took ono of their rifles and, firing, hit it stump at throo hundred yards. Ono of tho Indians patted mo on tho bock mid cried: ' Bueno, buono, Senor 1' and then in brokon English: 'You heap good man.' I said nothing, but kept my oyes wide open, as I wus afraid of treachery. Whon 1 arrived at Bisbeo my hair was white from tho fright," 41 And your raihel" "Proved a wholo on my hands, It waa only on papor." TWO KINDS OF COURAGE. General Porter Shows Which Variety .Is Entitled ta Most Praise. General Horace Porter coi* tribute* ou article to the Cuitaru pn "Tbo Philosophy of Coimijic," from which wo quoto as tallows: "Indifference to danger Is not always tho form of coinage which should entitle Its possessor to the highest crooit. It is n negative virtue as compared with tho quality which enables ouo to norform a dangorous duty whilo realizing tho full measure of tho peril encountered. "These two traits aro best illustrated by tho old story of tho two soldiers whoso rogi- moot was charging up a hill hi a despornto attempt to capture a battory. Wheu halfway up, one of tbem turned to tbo other ana said: ' Why, you're as palo as a shoot; you look liko a ghost; I believe you're afraid.' 'Yos, Iom,' was tho answer; 'and if you woro half as muoh afraid us lam you'd have run long ago.' It is something higher than physical courage, it is a species of moral courage, whioh recognizes tho dangor and yot overmasters tbo senso of fear. When tho famous mino In front of Petersburg had been completed, ond tbe National troop-* drawn up roady to charge the enemy's works os soon as tho mino bad dono its work iu creating a breach, tho signal was given just boforo daylight th* fuso was lighted, and tho command stood waiting with intense unxiety for tho explosion which was to follow. But seconds, then minutes, thon tons ot minutes passed, and stilt no Bound from tho mine. Tbo suspense becamo painful, and tbo gloom of disappointment overspread tbe anxious faces of officers and mon. Tho fuso had beon spliced about midway. It was now thought that tlioro was a dofoct in the splice, and that it was at this point lhat tho fuso was hanging flro. The day was breaking, tho onomy was becoming alert at Bight of our unmasked columns, there was not a moment to be lost, Lioutonant Doughty nnd Sergeant Roes, of tho Forty eighth Pennsylvania Infantry, now volunteered to exam amino tho fusa They entered tho long-dnvk gallery which led to tho mino, and without stopping to calculate tho chances of lifo, calmly exposod themselves to ono of tho most horrible forms of doath. With no ox oltomcnt to lend tbem its Intoxication, with nothing to divert thoir minds from tho fato which Boemod to await them, thoy followed tho courso of tho fuse through the long sub- terrnucan passage, found tho dofoot at which the spark hod beon arrested, and mado a uew splice. On their return tho match was again applied, and tho train was now prompt to do Its deadly work. Theso mon displayed oven a higher ordor of courage than those who afterwards charged into tho breach." Rights of X*asieii(oi-i, A passengor boarded a train Of tho St Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway Company, and beforo ho loornod that he could got no seat tbe train was going at a high rate of speed. On his fair boing demanded tbo plaintiff refused to pay it untoss a scat was provided for hlm, offering, turnover, to pay If a sont was provided. The Supreme Court of Minnesota bold (Harden-' burg versus tho St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway Company) that tho passengor had a right to refuse to pay the fare, and that ho did not thereby become d trespasser. The Court Bald that a nassdbgm has a right to a scat, and that a railroad having tho right to ojoct from its train ono not a trespasser must do so at a regular station, . . ,-. FREE-HAND Crofen.

The party will ascend from the south Bide of the mountain and cross to the north peak, whioh is to be the place illuminated. It ia calculated to reach the top of the mountain about 12 o'olook, or a littlo after, on tho day of the Fourth, so that ample time will be had for preparing the red fire for ignition.

It is expeoted lhat in case the weather ia clear the red fire will be plainly Been from all points on the Sound from which a view of Rainier is obtainable. Miss refers* Concert. Tho concert givon at the Oddfellows' Hall last night by Miss Peters and hor pupils, was a completo success in every way, many present being of tho opinion that it was the the best amateur entertainment given this season.

The stage was handsomely arranged, and, with tbe actors, formed a pretty picture. Mis**.

The Keefer Divorce. The Keefer divorce cose which will come up at the noxt session of parliament, is a complicated affair.

Mr. Keefer for some time had been in British Columbia engaged in various publio works. He owns a magnificent mansion, one of tho finest in Niagara district, situated in Thorold, All tho parties to the Buit aro well known throughout the Niagara peninsula, and it is supposed that the present suit ia brought principally to settle legal complications, and consequently that litt'e or no defense will be made to the petition whieh, in this instance, is brought by Mr. Hugh Forbes Keefer himself. Going Back en the -Tcrfenh's." The professional race at Victoria on tho 24th is off. At a meeting of the general committeo held Wednesday evening the following resolution was carried unanimously : Moved by Mr. J. H. Seeley, seconded by Mr. R. P. Rithet, that tho understanding with Mr. Hamm for n professional race on the 24th of May celebration having been that threo othor professional oarsmen wero to row here before rowing at any point on the coast north of San Francisco, and from a telegram and letter just rend from O'Connor they now intend to row at Tacoma on the 18th of May, whioh would be likely to seriuusly detract from the attract ion which a contest uf oarsmen wonld bo; Resolved, therefore, that tho programme arranged at the lost meeting of the committee be amended by omitting therefrom the professional prize of $1,000 Unexpected Soekeye Bun. If every fisherman on tho Fraser river had caught a whale in Ins net, he could not have been more surprised than he was with the results of last night's fishing.' A small run (if sock- eye salmon commenced last night and every fisherman made excellent catches. Vianen'a boats brought in thli morning over 400 fish, by far tho largest number since the season opened. To say the fishermen wore surprised scarcely expresses their feelings, the run being ao unexpected and unprecedented at this season of the year. A few aockeyes are annually caught In the months of May and June, but the fish are not usually numerous till July. The fishermen freely expressed the opinion that these fish are some moro of the good work of tho hatchery, othorwiso tbo run would not have commenced till tho usual time. How long the run will last, and the dimensions it will asume, are questions which excite considerable speculation, and the results will be watched with keen interest ...... ■»» ... Sir Leonard Tilley, lieutenant-governor of Now Brunswick, was to leavo Fredoricton about May 1st on a two monthi trip to tho Pacific coast. The UcLaren-Boss Mills, The directors of the McLaren-Rosa Lumber Co. wont up by Bteamer this morning to the Mclnnes farm, tho site of their new mill, to inspect the ground and to examine into the practicability of tho proposed plans. In conversation with Mr.D. MacLaren, a representative of Tm: Columbian gleaned tho fact that tho building of the mills is now arranged beyond a doubt. The only hindrance to active operations commencing immediately iB the necessity of having thu plans complete in every detail so thut uo useless labor will bo expended. Mr, MacLaren would not say what the exact capacity of the mills will be, but intimated that they would at least equal any in the province. A second mill will be built Bomewhoro up thu coast, but its location has not yet boon chosen and may not be for some littlo time. Mr, MacLaren is favorably impressed with Westminster aa a business centre, and considers hor situation excellent for shipping and ci-minoroial purposes. Spooking of British Columbia timber, lie said it certainly was maguiticiout,nnd superior to anything he had over seen of its kind, but he was positive in declaring tlmt the Canadian white pine wus n better all-round marketable lumber. The Messrs. MacLaren will remain in the city till Munday. Sinoo writing tho abovo the directors have returned from inspecting the mill sito, and it is understood, on the very best authority,that the plans bave boen adopted and Mr. Kendall has heen instructed to commence work on the now mills forthwith. The mill building will bo 455 feot hint by 72 foet wide, und it will bo furnished with the most modorn machinery. Mr. Kendall will commence active operations on Monday, (Mr. Justice McCreight Presiding.} Saturday, May 4. His lordship took the benoh at 11 o'clock to pronounce sentence on tho prisoners convicted.

Remanded till May 8th. Henry Juillot, convicted of assault, was remanded till Mny 8th for sentence. The court then adjourned till May 8th. A Would-be Dnelllst. J ust nfter tho Colonist had gone to press yesterday, the report of a revolver shot was heard on the street, and almost opposite the office. Investigation showed the street lo be deserted, but a hack rattled away in the distance led to the belief that its occupants were the parties who aroused the .neighborhood. During tho day the facts of tho cose were discovered to be briefly as follows: The occupants of tho carriage were threo young gontlemen (?) who have recently been amusing themselves about Viotoria by attempting to run the city in defiance of law and order. Two ot them passed a few hard words, the younger of the two beiug under the influence of liquor and rathor quarrelsome. He finally challenged his friend to a duel, and produced two loaded revolvers as the carriage was rattling along Government street. The friend took one, and extracting the cartridges handed tu the othor occupant of the hack, informing him that lie could act as second. He replied that he would look after tho matter, and pocketing pistol No. 1, reached out his hand for the othor, ostensibly to see that it was properly loaded. The young man handed it over, and the third party was drawing its contents when tho challenging party objected and attempted to tako the «eapon from him, in tho scuffle tho revolver was discharged, tho bullet piercing tho palm of tho young man's hand, which he will carry in a sling for some days tu come. The bullet was extracted by Dr. Helmoken, and no serious results are anticipated. —Colonist. PERSONAL. John MacLaren, of Ottawa, arrived in tho city this morning.
