Dr. Tero, of "Vienna treats rheum- atiara with bee-stings, In 173 cases 39,000 stings were inflicted. THe pain fa much less to the rheumatics than tlio same operation would lie to healthy porsons, An espalier pear-tree nt Pollet, France, was planted iu 1580, and is now the oldest in Europe.

Ligner, tlio Austrian meteoro- logiat, has become assured that the moon affects the magnetic needle. Tlio disturbance is especially noticeable when the moon is near the earth, when she is passing to flrst or last quarter, reaches its maximum when the moon is in tho plane of tho equator, and is greater during the northern declination. Rapid Cremation.-—A French crematipnist, Af. Guiohard, has been striving to make tbe incineration of bodies'ns rapid us possible. A late test of his improved process gave evory satisfactory results, the carcass of a large sheep in a wooden case being reduced to ashes in forty minutes, without perceptible odor or smoke. He employs coal gas, of which jets are directed on the body by means of strong pipes. Aristotle divided matter into four olemonts; and chemists a few yean- ago recognized about seventy primary substances as making up the universe. Tho latter view is now in turn outgrown, for, as Prof. J. P. Cooke states, the recent study of the rarer earths leaves us in doubt whether wo have an indefinite number of elements, or only one under unnumbered manifestations; and spectrum analysis indicates that many of our elements are decomposed in the sun and fixed stars.

The'Laughing Plant—A plant whose seeds produce ellects analogous to those of laughing gas is mentioned by Falgravo us belonging to Arabia. Two varieties are known, ono attaining a height of three tb four feot, with woody stems, wide- spreading branches, and light green foliage. The seeds are black, resembling a Fronch bean in sizo and shiipe, and havo n sweet taste, a flavor somewhat liko opium, and a sickening odor. Small doses of tho pulverized seech givo rise to peculiar manifestations. The person laughs boisterously, sings, dancrs, nud cuts up all kinds of fantastic capcis. Tho excitement continues about an hour, when the subject falls into a deep sleep of on hour or moro, nnd awakens utterly uneou- scious of his late ridiculous behavior, Sand-Drifts.—Dry, loose sand, wherever it occurs, is constantly being shifted by the wind, and often buries cultivated lands, buildings, and forests, On the shores of Lake Michigan are drifts 100 feet deep, and those of Cornwall reach 300 feet in depth, while the drifts of the (M Desert are 40 miles long and 900 feot high in places. On tho shores of the Bay of Biscay the drifting sand travels inland 16 feet a year, in parts of Denmark 24 feet, and in Southern India 17 yards, ln smiio places walls and barriers of vegetation have been created to stop the destroying drifts. Fine sand is taken up to a great height in tho air, and deposited many miles away. In 1882 Iceland waB visited by a remarkable sand-storm, lasting two weeks, which hid the sun and objects a few yards off like a dense fog, and caused the death of thousands Of sheep nnd horses.

Svonry, April 13.—The Gorman warship Olga arrived here from Samoa to repair dumages sustained iu the recent hurricane at Samoa, which sank her companion ships the Eber and Adler and the American vessels. Tho Olga'a damages are slight. Sho has on board the commander, two officers and thirty of the crew oE the Adler. The steamor Rock ton was chartered by admiral Kimberley and wiU start immediately for Samoa to convey tho crews of the American war ships Trenton and Vandalia to San Francisco, The steamer Lubeck, wliich left Apia April 2nd, reports the Nipsic badly injured and it is very doubtful if she will be able to return to America. The Lubeck also reports that a largo number of bodies of the seamen drowned on board the ill-fated vessels wero recovered. The bodies were buried at Apis. The Lubeck brought to Sydney tho officers belonging to theEber. They will proceed to Germany in the str. Hapsburg. Three officers and 75 men will be left at Apia to guard the interests of the Germans. The captain of the Olga roported the Nipsic lost her rudder and propeller in tho hunicane. The Trenton lies on the reefs full of water, and German ship Adler lies in the some position. full particulars. San Francisco, April 13.—The str. Alameda arrived from Sydney, via Apia, Samoa, and Honolulu this morning. At Apia tho str, took off 42 of tho ship-wrecked officers and seamen of the U.S. war vessels, all at Honolulu to bn brought up by the str. Umatilla. The Alameda brings details of tho terrific hurricane whioh occurred at Apia on tho fifteenth of lost month. Early in the morning tho German war ship Eber was driven on a reef nnd broke in pieces in a few minutes, one officer and four men being saved and 75 drowned. Shortly afterwards the German war ship Adhr, a veiy hoavy vessel, was lilted, high out of the water by the great waves on the reef. Twenty of her men were killed or drowned. The U.S. ship Nipsto next followed, but by skilful management of tho captain and officers she waa beached on the sand; seven of tho men jumped into tho water and were drowned, but would have been saved had thoy stuck to the ship. Shortly before the accident the German ship Olga collided with the Nipsic, carrying away her smoke Black and several of her boats. Her smoke stack being broken off, tho. furnaces would not draw to keep a full head of steam un. Had it uot been for this the Nipsic, which has powerful engine?; might have rode out tho gate safely. At latest advices the Nipsic had been Bucecsst'uly floated to her old anchorage and will be sent to Auckland or Sidney to bo repaired. Joslj^.bcforo tho Nipsic was beached, tlio Vahdnlia collides with both the British ship Cal- Hope and tho Olga. and was codsider- nbly damaged. The Calliope then steamed out to sea and returned a fow days later having suffered little dam- ago, Capt. Sohoonmaker of the Vandalia headed his vessel for share- and; in endeavoring to reach the sandy beach struck the reef and filled. The captuin, paymaster, lieutenant of marines and m .uy others wero washed overboard. The vessel was completely submerged and all handB had to tako totheiiggiug, Sho lost her cptain, three officers and SO seamen and marines. The U. S, ship Trenton, with Admiral Kimberly aboard had her fires extinguished by tho seas and drifted about, finally striking the Olga. Tho bow of tho latter opened a large breuoh in the Trenton, and the next minute she wrs aground, a bad wreck, Two hundred and fifty Samoans from King Mitoafca camp and the men-of-war sailors worked all day saving property on tho Trenton, nnd several Samoans and sailors were also engaged working on the other wrecked vessels. Tho Olga, whioh was the last vessel left afloat in tho harbor, mado headway •jr-aitiat the soa for a short timo and finally beached iu a good place and los. none of her men. Capt,* Morse said the matter can bent bo summed up in this way. Tho German men-of-war were waiting to protect Tamasese whilo the Americans wero thero looking tutor our interests, and to see that nothing went wrong in regard to Mataafa and neither of them panted to go first. The English ship having no ties of that nature to bind her, and having a vastly superior steaming power slipped her cable and got out in the teeth of tho hunicane. Itwasavoiy terrible affair, but Mataafa did all in his power to render assistance to both Gormnns and Americans. Aftor the disaster ho was called upon by tho Germans to assist in saving their boats, and replied:—"I do not purposo to assist you ih saving your ships to bombard my people after thoy are ssfo, but I will do nil in my power to save life," which he did in a herioo manner. "I suppose by this time, from what I learned at Apin, that Tsmaseso hsd in sll probability been captured and his head taken off. Admiral Kimberly is in charge of the American interests at present with 6C3 men in his command," RATHER POl'llTFUL.

San Francisco, April 13.—California's export of deciduous fruits this year will amount to about 2200 cars, or over 25 per cent, more than last year. Reports from various parts of the state indicate that the season is an exceptionably favorable one, and that nearly every kind of fruit promises a heavy yield.

A Van* pouver c6mp{i.ny have leased 3,700 foet of Ciyoosh Oreek, about four miles below tlu famous Bonanza Ledge, and there i* no doubt but they will be well paid for their enterprise; active operations commenced a fow weeks ago. If this should prove n success no doubt other leases will be asked for, as the next, four miles above are supposed to be equally as rich, but perhaps moro expensive to work. The Bonanza Quartz Co., have completed their ICO* foot tunnel and closed down for a week er two. Somo very rich seams of quartz were struck in running iho tunnel, but the main ledge has not yet been reached, but I learn tho indications are very favorable that tho vein is closo at hand.—-Times The Ottawa limber K ton. Says the Times: Mr. D. McLaren, senior member of tlie McLaren-Ross Lumber Company, of Ottawa, has gone north to examine the lumber resources of tlio coast. In company with Mr. M. King, he left yesterday to visit tho lumber regions of the north, and tho trip will be of two week's duration, in which extensive examinations will be mrde, rs to the ex'.ent of British Columbia's lumber supply. It is understood that the prime object of Mr. McLaren's visit to the Pacific province ia tho establishment of a lumber manufacturing company to bo known as the North Pacific Lumber Co., and with that object iu view ho will make ox* tonsivo observations, not only as regards tho supply, but as to tho best location for the erection of saw mills and tho manufacture of lumber. As far ns tho building of mills goes, Mr. McLaren thinl'B that itwould bo tn tho beat advantage of nil tho manufacturers of luuiborto havo their milli in somo central place, whero tlio prohloiu of procuring a plentiful supply of Inbor at a*' so'isoiis would bo easily solved. The I i-iispp l-'Mieiicrt. A rivor fishery liko that of the Frasor, if left without official regulations, might bo soriously damaged; and it is hard to givo general satisfaction by any regulations that may be proposed. The government it seems, has been asked to limit tho number of tisliing boats, o i this river, to 600. But thii does not suit tho canneries, uf whioh there aro 15; they say that tho proposed limit of boats would leave them without a sufficient supply of fish for thoir business. The fish seek tho rivers in whioh to deposit their spawn, nnd the caso of the goose that lays tht golden egg requiring a reasonable measure ot protection applies here. Thore must bo somo limit tn tho obstruction of breeding milium, < v the fishoiy may be in danger of Buff-jring serious diminution. It may bo that tho number of tish in tlio e(,a cannot bo sensibly (.muni-shed by pitf mode of fialiing theioiii, f>utf experience slioxft that tho ru lu would not hold go-ados to river fishing. Still, oven here, moiv dam-go ii dono by sawdust aud (ilher im-unities throwp into rivers than by fishing. The Fraser Rivor salmon fishery is exceptionally valuable, and on that account the necesoity of preserving it is the more imperative. Canners themselves, if they look beyond the present, must admit this.—Mo-iefnri/ Times, The Ladles aro Declared Ineligible to Sit in the London County Council.

Mr. Parnell demanded that the chief secretary should make a straight answer to the question put to him. Mr. Balfour's refusal to explain implied that an explanation involved something he was ashamed of. (hear, hear.) The uso made of the circular, he continued, proved that the government was not neutral towards the commission, but were prosecutors behind the Times. Mr. Psrnell also referred to tho use of the battering ram toforcoevio- tionsinDonegal. He protested that their use was not only an act of cruelty, but barbarity. Mr. Balfour ignoring Mr. Parnell's demand for a straightforward answer to Mr. Stuart's question said that the uso of the battering rams was necessary, as the persons to be evicted had in almost overy cose erected within their doors an elaborate barricade . with the intent to hinder the officers of the law in the performance of their duty. Sir W. Vernon Harcourt described the policy of Mr. Balfour's as one of extermination. Tho government's remedy to alleviate tho sufferings of tho Irish tenants was to level the houses of the poor to the ground. Mr. Gosohon declared that tho Parnellites were responsible for the existing state of affairs. Tho evictions occurred not because tho tenants oould not pay their rent but because they would not It seemed to him that Sir W. Vernon Harcourt preferred that tho heads of the polico should bo battered rather than that the doors of the tenants' houses should be opened upon the demand of the law. It. €.

READING HUMAN NATURE Personal Oharaoterlsttoa w Shown by the Feature* '"Tho proper study of mankind Is man," is the way a scientist greeted a Washington Star roporter the. othor day who called to loam something about the art of reading human nature. "This faculty of reading a man at a glance," he continued, "is extremely interesting, and enables one to discriminate wisely ln business as well as In social life. It is also a great aid in making a direct selection of friends and associates, and it often' saves one from becoming the dupe and victim of unscrupulous and designing persona.: I remember once," continued tho scientific man, "when delayed in a small town In Western Maryland on business, I missed the train and was oompelled to put up at tho Inn, the only one for miles around. As luck would havo it it was fair time and the town was crowded, as was the inn, and when I applied for a room I was not surprised to learn that it would be necessary to have a bed-fellow. Being tired I went up-stairs early and looked over my new quarters. It would be impossible for me to describe the room, but It wu a very dirty one, and the bod, while clean enough, threatened evory moment to deposit you on the floor. I had just turned in when the door opened, and In stalked my bed-fellow. -Tall, lank, with topboots and trousers stuck ln them, he possessed any thing butapleas- ing appearance. I waa struck with tho peculiar glare of his eye, the shape of his nose and mouth, and came to the conclusion that ho was craiy.or bordering on that state. I determined to Keep awaice, and It was woll I did, for about an hour after, wbon all was still, a form passed the window through which the moonlight wu streaming, and approached the bed. Instinctively I reached for my pistol, which wu tn convenient reach, and waited. In less timo than It takes to toll it I wu seised by the throat I tried to halloo, but could not. In my fright tho pistol wa. forgotten, but recovering my presence of mind I pushed It to his waist and fired. Hi. hands relaxed, and uttering, ory of pain he disappeared through the door. I was arrested the next dny and came very near being sentenced, the man swearing 1 had entered the room for the purpose of stealing, ud when he went to Interfere wu shot, After I bad given my testimony a young physician stopped forward aud swore .tho man was crazy. This ended the trial and I wu released. The man wu afterward sent to tho insano asylum, where he died. "I told you this story," continued the speaker, "merely to show you how, with the knowledge of reading the human faoe, I undoubtedly saved my life." " What are the signsl" queried tho Star man, "by which an ordinary person can toll tho character of a stranger I" "Well," answered tho scientific man,"by tho eyes, the hair, the nose, the mouth, the forehead, tho chin, and lut, but notloast, by the walk. In my opinion this faculty should be included tu the education of youth, and every person should become thoroughly familiar wltb the fundamental principles, at leut It Is a well-known foot that animals possess In a luge degree this talont-In fact, it oould be called an Intuitive perception of character. This Is more especially manifest In the moro intelligent classes of animals—for instance, observe how a cat, a horse or a dog will watoh and read the character of their masters, and acting as though upon th. conclusions thus drawn, regulate tbelr conduct Women also have In a large degree the faculty of reading human nature, ud their conclusions are usually correct "But," bo continued, "to go Int.detail we'll commence with the eyes, tke most eloquent features of the countenance. In fact, they aro miniature wlndowa through which every desire, passion and impulse looks out, und differ widely in color, brightness, size, shapo and expression. For Instance, a largo, bright oyo denotes quick perception, and is indicative of great susceptibility to external influences, while small, dull, sunken ores will retain Impreulons longer. Beautiful eyes, with finely arched eyebrows, when found In a man, Indicate one of truly refined artlstlo nature, ud ono who is au ardent admirer, ud appreciative of symmetry, oleganoe ud loveliness whor- ovor they appear,*' " How about beautiful eyes In womonl" asked the reporter. "Why1, when beautiful era, with finely arohod oyebrows, appear ln .womanthoy denote a character fond of dress, plouure, music and other artlstlo pursuits, altbbugh at times they aro Indicative of . cruel,splto* ful nature. Large, full eyes, resembling . cat's, aro Indicative of a timid, stupid, treacherous nature, ud the possessor of such oyes will seem-f lightened and appro- honslve when engaged In eon venation wltb you.": "Before you give me your opinion relative to black eyes," ventured the reporter, "Mme call your attention to the color of my own." After assuring tha reporter that ho would bo careful, he continued i "When you meet n person possessed of .black oyo you must lookout; theyare.ptto be artful, crafty, treacherous and always scheming. Score- livo in a marked degree, they sure possessed of unrelenting malignity, and when once resolved upon an undertaking are thoroughly reoWoss. Beware of putting confidonco in persons possessed of such eyes. While the majority of black are bad, some of them are exceptions, Indicting frank, ness, Warm affootlon and a great degree of character. Thero la one thing, however, to bo remembered,.bout buck .yes; don't rouse them. They .re oapable of taking fearful vengeanoe, ud never forget an Injury, ud will bid. their time. "Blu. ves, or I might «dd," he continued, "Ua-ht«7U,lMe-iso they are a* tko samo category u a rule, are cunning. Being full of tactics thoy keep their secrets well, .nd .re like snakes In tho gnus. While professing the greatest friendship for y-srth-y are likely to be plotting your rule. UltoMaokoyes, there tie some exceptions, and thoso oxoeptlona mako warm friends, being amiable, truthful, affectionate. Onoo perverted toevll, howovor,tho,v will assume tb. character abovo dosorlb-al ud seek your ruin. lastly, In speaking of the eyes, lot mo call your attention to gray eyes. Theso, taken et a rule, make good friends, although possessed of a good doul of Bullishness, and persons having such eyes are generally painstaking, Intelligent and thrifty. "The forehead," he continued, "is another important factor lu the general makeup of a person. It is the seat of reason, und here intellectual powera reside Directly over the eyes are located the perceptive faculties, and directly over these and occupying the upper part of the forehead are the rofleotlve faculties, the literary powers being found between the two. A person, therefore, possessing a wide and high forehead generally has quick perception and great Intelligence." How about the mouth!" said the reporter. " What important part does that play In reading the character ot a person!" "Avery important one," answered the scientist, "a large mouth belongs to a coarse, vulgar person. Lips with a cherry redness, having a cushioned appearance, belong tc domestic natures, fond of kissing aad caresses; they make affectionate friends. LlpB, on the other hud, that are thin, denote a great deal of self-control, and an indication of coldness and unsociability. You have often seen persons with their lips habitually open. Well, they belong to a class that thirst for notoriety, applause and commendation. Generally speaking, they are deficient in passions, emotions. One of the most eloquent and Important factors in the geueral make-up of a person's oharactor is the nose, When wide aud prominent tt Indicates a character strong In its composition ud one determined to accomplish every thing undertaken. Indicative u it is ot a commercial nature, a person with suoh a nose would make a' good business man, while the opposite type of nose, 1. c, narrow, is Indicative of rather an effeminate character, with a great deficiency la business pursuit.. When turned up, u yours is, it denotes a prying ud In-' quisitivo character, an Indefatigable nows hunter. Should tho nose be tbe reverse, however, that Is, convex, like an eagle's beak, look out for the possessor of such a proboscis; as he is exceedingly revengeful, never forgetting an injury and never for- giving one. It Is also indicative of a quarrelsome disposition, " Perhaps you don't think It, but the chin Is another guide to oharactor," continued the scientist. "A broad, full one shows strong, unchanging affootlon, ud a narrow one, while possessed of more intensity, lacks in power and constancy. A pointed chin is an adjunct to a warm ud Impulsive character. The square, massive chin, though, is the Indicator ot a strong, determined and persistent oharaoter, ud ono possessed of great will power. These are the ones tbat achieve success in this world and have stamped themselves like Cesar indelibly on the communities, the countries ud the times in whleh they have lived. "Lastly comes tho hair, black belonging to the bilious temperament, thereby giving great power, strength ud great endurance to the possessor, whilo light hair la indicative of fineness and delicacy of organisation, and denotes the lighter or loss robust typo of character. Auburn hair denotes a delicate physical organization. "Doyouseo that white horse!" queried tho scientist. "Well, that reminds moot red-haired persons.- Thero is nothing specially of importance to observe ln a person of this type, except tbat they should pursue, u f ar u possible, out-door life. They are generally fiery, impetuous ud passionate, the curly- baireu type being excitable, emotional ud impulsive. "And now," sold the solentist, "my time ia drawing to a close, ud I will have to stop, touching slightly upon thut last groat requisite in tho make-up ot a oharaoter—tbe walk. Now, every one bos a style of gait peculiar to himself or herself, denoting firmness, decision of oharactor, fickleness and Instability. Those who step firmly may bo regarded as possessing a firmness ud solidity of oharactor, while a light stop In- dicstes that tho possessor is ot a mirthful disposition, ud apt to bo secretive. A graceful step belongs to a person who transacts his business in u euy muner. The brisk, rapid walker Is a person of ambition, onergy ud hopefulness, while those of a shuffling gait aro almoat in every case traitors, usually resorting to treason and stratagem to accomplish their ends." OSTRICH ODDITIES. Why On. of the Bird, left the Haunt, oi Clvllisatlqn Forever. Ostrich farmers, of whom muy aro In Southern Africa, doubtless find their queer broods productive of amusement as well u moro practical advantages. An article in tho Saturday Jte.:ew make, the statement. that the birds have a dervlsh-like habit of waltzing, when ln good spirits. They go sailing along ln tho bright wnshlne, tholr beautiful wings spread, giving thom tho appearance of white balloons; but they bave an unfortunate tendency towards becoming giddy and stumbling. Some of tbem, hoi-' ever.can " reverse u cleverly u a practiced human dancer. , . When n solitary chick Is reared at tha farm-house, It becomes absurdly and often inconveniently tame. One such chicken callod "Jackie" wu tho terror of nil tho littlo negroes about tho placo; for as thoy sat on the grond, with plates of rice and pumpkin In their laps, Jackie would bear down on them, taking toll from one plate after uother. Occasionally he acted ln suoh a menacing manner that the youngsters dropped their plates and wont away crying. Jackio would then squut on his heels among the debris, and regale his enormous appetite at leisure. But one day retribution came. Having noticed the pot In tho kitchen, from which the pumpkin ud rice always came, he thought ho would attack the fountain-head; so, plumping his hoad Into the pot, bo greedily scooped up and, with tho lightning-like rapidity of ostriches, tossed down his throat . largo mouthful of boiling rice. Poor fellow I the next moment ho wu duoing round tho kitchen writhing in agony, shaking his head nearly off, and twisting his nock u It bent on tying It Into a knot. Finally ho dashed wildly from the bouse, ud the hut that wu seen of hlm wu . little cloud of whito dust vanishing on tho horizon. Seven He-rlmmta* louts. lb.papor in the Centnry, after citing some of the most s overo regimental losses In tho civil war, Colonel W.F. Fox says: " The extent of these lossos will bo better understood il compared with somo ef the extraordinarycases olted in the histories ot other wars. Take, for Instance, tbe charge of tho Light Brigade at Balaklava, —tbo charge of tbe Six Hundred, Lord Cardigan took 673 officers ud men Into that action; they lost 118 killed ud IM wounded; total, SM7, or 80.7 per cent The heaviest lou ln the late - Fruco-PrUMlan w.r occurred at Mania-Tour, in the Sixteenth Gorman Infantry (Third Westphallan), which lost is percent. But the Ono Hundred Forty-first Pennsylvania lost ti por cent at Uettvsburg, while regimental losses of 60 per cont. wero frequent occurrences ln both Union and Confederate armies. In tho war for the Union thero were scores of regiments, unknown or forgotten in his- tory, whose percentage of killed ud wounded In certain actions would far exceed that of the much-praised Light Brigade; ud nobody blundered either."

Gabriel, who late-y invented and patented tho Oriel Sanitary and drain pipe, which haa been bo successfully experimented with and so favorably commented on by Experts, is considering the advisability of establishing a factory in Westminster for tho supply of the mainland trade Tlio heavy nature of tho pipes makes the cost of transportation expensive, and it iB for tho purpose of being able to supply his manufactures eheuply that he purpoaos to establish the branch factory. Ho will arrive in tho city in a fow days and lay his intentions before tho city council and. ask'for a small inducement to build and manufacture here. Westminster is the manufacturing centre of the province, and Mr. Gabriel seems to bo aware of this fact, AXc-rlnwIiriu. Mr. &. W. Armstrong, district registrar, has handed in to the provincial government.hia resignation of oflice. Tho resignation has not been accepted yot, but will be in a few days. Mr. Armstrong hns held tho position of registrar for nearly six years, and during all that time he has fulfilled his duties in a maimer abovo criticism. Ho will be greatly missed by tho poople ho has beon so constantly brought into contact with in tlie transaction of his duties, and with whom he was extremely popular. Mr. Armstrong resigns oflice for tho purpose of resuming tho practice of his profession, and has entered into partnership with Mr. L. P. Eckstein and will open oflicos almoat immediately. The new legal firm ought to bo a success, ns both gentlemen have acknowledged ability, tire well up in law, hnvo had a considerable experience nnd hold tho respect of both bench and bar. Mr. Armstrong's thorough knowledge of land laws, titles, etc., is alone enough to secure the lirm a lucrative praotice. The Com? ai man, in general with the poople of Westminster, wishes tho new firm every success. Tbe 111 union Bridge Mr. Hairy Abbott, superoiutendeut of the Pacific division of tho C, P, R., came over from Vancouvor this morning to confer with the board of trade respecting the Mission bridge. The council of theboard met Mr. Abbott in the board rooms at 11.30, and dis* cussed the question at so;no length. It seems that the board's information respecting the width of the draw waa quite correct, as tho plan submitted by Mr. Abbott showed only sixty feet between tho piers. Mr. Abbott thought this space ample, bub stated that if the board was not aatistted the company might consent to n larger draw, sny from 70 to 80 feet. Hu stated that it would be practically impossible to operate a wooden draw oE 100 feat. After hearing and discussing tho proposals submitted, the board naked for a few days to consider whether it would be justified in the public interest, in modifying its demand for a 100-foot draw. Mr. ■ Abbot stated that the railway company Imd no wish to do anything that might impede navigation, but tho cost of a draw of 100 feet would be very great, and it scorned to him au unreasonable width to ask undor tho circumstances. An I'upnrliuil Triinnrrr. Mr. J. B. Fisher, manager of the bank of British Columbia, has aold his fine residence, Gadshil], with all ite contents to Mr. A. J. McColl, of tho law lirm of Corbould,McColl & Jones. The financial consideration is ©15,000, which is far from being an exhorbttant price, Gadshill is oue of tho best appointed houses in thu province, and few establishments in tho country are bo comfortably and luxuriantly arranged. Mr, Fisher has taken groat pride in improving nnd beautifying Iub house and grounds, whieh hnvo latterly been brought iuto a state bordering on perfection. The valuable collection of brio a brae, curios, works of art etc., chosen by Mr. Fisher with an evident display of good tnste and judgement, become the property of Mr. McColl, who secures by the purclm-jo nil those rare and beautiful articles which Mr. Fisher has been years in collecting. The conservatory and grounds havo been kept in perfect condition, aod, though small, aro a picture of loveliness st nil times, The conservatory contains many plants nnd flowers of rare varieties, and aU in a state uf tho most perfect cultivation. Mr. McColl Is to bo congratulated on the acquisition of this splendid property, which as n whole is equalled in beauty by few in British Oolumbia. MR. DUNSMUIR DEAD. Sinn.

Tho Victoria despatches of yesterday spoko in a most hopeful tone about tho condition and expected ultimate rccovory of tho hon. president of tho council, who bus boon 1} ing ill at Victoria for soveral days. It would appear, however, that Mr. Dunsmuir's actual condition was more precarious than these sanguitio reports represented. At all events, it wna generally known ou tho streets of Victoria yesterday afternoon that the honorable gentleman had Buffered a serious relapse, and was in great danger of his lifo. Physicians wero summoned in hot haste, but their efforts were unavailing.' Uo breathed his last, at aix o'clock, tho members of hia family who woro in Victoria being at his bedside. Deceased was in tho 05th year of his age. Ho leaves u widow, two sous and seven daughters. One of his sons, Mr. James Dunsmuir, is manager of the firm's business at Departure Bay; another'sou is manager at San Fran cisco, and arrived'a day or two ugo in Victoria on account nf tho illness of hia father. Two of his daughters; Mrs. Croft, wife of Mr. Henry Croft, M. P.P., and Miss Dunsuiuir went east some days ago and sniled on Tuee day, Oth inst., tor England, and tho first news of his death will reach thom on their arrival on thu nther side of the Atlantic. Hm youngest daughter ia attending school at Brighton. Eii| land. Mrs. James Harvey, Nanaimo, another daughter, went down yesterday, summoned lo hia bedside, but too lato to see her father before ho died, Mrs. Hpdghtou, wifeof Col. Houghton, is now in Montreal. Hon Robert pansmuir was born in Huilfc .- Aj rahire, Scotland, in 1825, in whxi. y'r.xco his father and grandfather before him had been coal masters, lie wns educated at Kilmarnock academy. In 1847 he was married in Kilmarnock to Joanna, daughter of Alex. White. He came to Canada in tho early fifties as a coal expert and was employed by the Vancouver Coal Co.. and remained in their employ for u number of years, In his explorations for himself he discovered a rich vein of coal at Wellington, which, it is needlesa to state, subsequently amassed htm a groat fortune. In his early operations he wns assisted financially by Admiral Hornby, Capt. Egorfc and Lt. Diggle of the navy. The conditions on his part wero thathoshould own half the mine uud havo ontiro control of tho operations. The mine was opened successfully and developed with such profit to Mr. Dunsmuir that he was enabled to becomo sole owner, buying out oue partner after another, the last beingTjioutonant"Digijie. towhom ho paid a cheque of £750,000 or £800,000 in full of all claims. His mining property made him very wealthy nud con- aequenily very iiifiucntal, and he died probably the best, known man iu Brit- is!] Columbia, and certainly tho richest ih tho province, and ono of tho richest iu the. Dominion. His income has been variously oslimated at $1,000 a dny and upwards. However, no accurate estimate can bo placed on Iub wealth at the present time. Mr. Dunsmuir, whilo rich, was:itlfid-:Very enterprising, and fow largo enterprises ur industrial project*} undertaken in the province, but were largely assisted by him. Besides tho mines at Wellington and Comox, of which he was F.ole proprietor, bu wns president of and the largest shareholder in tho Eequitnalt and Nanaimo Railway nnd its extensive coal, timber and farming belt; he was ono of tho most extensive owners of quartz claims in the provinco; he was ono of the largest share holders in tho Matsqui Dyking Co., the Albion Iron Worics and tho 0. P. N,, and an extensive owner of real estate in various parts of tho province, besides numerous other investments. He also.).-it is understood, was one of promoters of the proposed Canadian Western Railway. It is safe to say, in fact, that thero wore few enterprises of any magnitude in the province in whioh he was not interested. His death must, therefore, have a very marked effect in business and financial circles. Hon. Mr. Dunsmuir first entered the political arena in 1883, when he was eleoted to represent Nanaimo, as a supporter of the Smitho-Robaon gov eminent. He waa returned again at tho last general election, in 1886, by tho samo constituency, and tho following year was appointed president of tho council, without a porfolio, succeeding the late premier, Hon. William Smlthe, who died during the cession of 1Q87. Although, -scarcely, by nature or experience, >. politician orntates- tlian, Mr. Dunsmuir was a practical und busiiio i*llko legislator, aud had much ii lence in the houso, gonerally sucoeedtug in tar.ying out his purposes. Per-tonally, Mr. Dunsmuir nnd many admirable qualities, and, in spite of his business push and brusqueness of manner, was genial with his friends of whom he had many, kind-hearted, genoroua and benevolent, A despatch received at this oilice to-day, from Victoria, gives some idea of the feeling at the capital in connection with the sad ovont which wo chronicle : "Thu death of Hon. Robert Dunsmuir whioh occurred nt 0.40 last evoning has cast a gloom ovor the whole city. Flags nro flying at half mnst, nud a general feeling of sorrow at Iho loEs, and sympathy with tho sorrowing friends of the deceased prevails. Although the deceased gentleman in his daily lifo had differences with men with whom he camo iu contact, it mny be truly said ho has not left behind a single enemy. Hu wns warm-hearted and true, a friend of tm country and a man who invariably treated tho poor man with tho camo consideration as that extended to tho rich. His death romoves a landmark that eannot be replaced." In this city flags are flying at half-mast out of respect to the deceased, and tho Bad event is tho subjoot of general conversation and interest. The funeral will tako place Tuesday at 2 p.m. and will bo attended by all societies, clubs, etc., in the city, Tlie E. nnd N. Rnilwny Depot and rolling stock aro draped in mourning. PERSONAL.

Siuart Tupper, Winnipeg, and Mra. Cameron, wifo of Major-General Cameron, Kingston, arrived at Vancouver,, by private car attached to tho Pacifio express. They immediately took pas- sago per S.S. Islander for Victoria, and will return probably on Sunday, Thoy wero mot at the depot by Mayor Oppenheimer and a number of citizens, who wore introduced tu them and presented their compliments, and with whom Sir Charles Tupper and party chalted pleasantly until the departure of the train. Sir Oharles Tupper was interviewed by press representatives in his private car and extended to them his characteristic courtesy in expressing hiB views on all tropics of public interest concerning which he waa questioned. Although not having enjoyed for several years his former robust health, ho apparently stood the long journoy across tho continent well, and referred to the trip as having bceu personally muoh enjoyed. The object of his visit he snid was to note the progress of the' west and keop himself in touch with all parts of the country, diplomatic representative nf which he was abroad, This is his third visit to the coast, but tho first since (he line was opened to Vancouver. He testified to tho efficiency of thu C.P.R. sorvice and he wua pleased to find both tho road bed and the rolling stock in excellent condition nnd of such a high standard; Referring tu Canadian affairs in point of rotation to tho empire, Sir Charles snid that they woro attracting constantly increasing attention at home, and that the people of Great Britain wero manifesting a deep interest in all that pertained to Canada. Thero woro many inquiries as to British Columbia among capitalists. Tho stream of immigration to our shores from the old oountry continued to flow, but in a slightly decreased volume this year, owing to the government of Canada having ceased granting assisted passages. He recognised tho competition to which it exposed tho laboring moil and mechanics, and said tho energies of the immigration department were now directed towards including agriculturists with capital to settle in Canada. The agitation for Imperial federation, which had for its exponents such men as Lord Roseberry, was a livo ono in England, and waa doing much towards bringing tho resources of the colonies into prominence nnd harmonising their relations with iho mothor country. ■Whon Baby was sick, wa gsre her Castoria, wlien ahe wat a Child, she cried for Cantoris, When she became Miss, she dung to Cutoria, When aha had Children, she gave tbra Cutoria 11APT1ST CHURCH, Aftnes Htreet, 13 Kast of Mary Street.
