Says on exchange : Mrs. Grover Cleveland has deoided to allow representatives of New York's 339 only (since the four hundredth one wad arrested for stealing a sealskin clonk) to call upon her. Mrs. Cleveland ever was patient, amiable and complaisant. The chief obstacle in the way of capital punishment in Kew York by electricity appears to be the inability of the authorities to find a noun which will express "death by electricity" and a corresponding verb. New York felons propose to die grammatically or not at all.—- Ea, Incrediblo ns it may appear, nays an exchange, statistics prove tbat 6,000 men wen* killed last year while coupling cars. With 10,000 potent car couplf-ft on record in the XJnitpd States patent oflice, it would seem that the responsibility on the dirnctova of 150,000 miles of railroad was somethi ng which ought to attract their uttention for a few minute**. A little fellow who was earnestly si-arching tho columns of a certain religious journal for something in the juvenile department found the paper rather bulky to monoge and sproad it upon the floor. In reply to his little sister who wna impatient at his slowness, he defended himself by saying, '-Well, you must remember that this pup jr has two parts— the religious and sacriligeous !" It was the same bo-,, by the way, who announced that the Scripture lesson at school one morning was from tho book of Collisions. Hippolite is Preparing: a Cruiser to Devastate the Ports Held by Legitime. Robert Lineoln, Son of Abraham Lincoln, is Appointed Minister to England. The estimated cost of building the necessary dams, stocks and improving the navigation of the Bod river so as to allow of the passage of boats drawing soven feet, from Lake Winnipeg to Winnipeg is $225,000. Deep water navigation ends at Selkirk, boyond which railways are necessary to bring lumber, lirowood, etc., from the lake and its tributary rivers to the east, up to tho city. Winnipeg contends that railway charges over this short distance do not admit of sufficiently choap carriage of lumber, firewood and ties, to develop the timber resources of tho lake. The O.P.R. reading room at Kamloops will soon be in working order, nnd the employees will have a very pleasant and comfortable place in which to spend a profitable hour or two during the time it is open.

In addition to theso a library wilt also be procured, to consist of works of science and art, history, biography, etc. When the committee get things into shape we will give a more extended notice of the institution.— Sentinel. The 'company are to be com mended* for providing suoh a resort for their employees. In one important respect, says an exchange, General Harrison is a very different kind of man from any president that this country has ever had. Ho stands, in a remarkable degree, for morality and religion. Other presidents, of course, have been men of integrity and patriotism, and nominal Christians; but none of them hove been life-long temperance men, nor permitted their religion to oxert any visible influence over cither their lives or their public policy. General Harrison, on tho other hand, has been all his lifo a total abstainer from liquors and all fashionable tipples and, since his maturity, a devoted church member, an active church official nnd a Sunday school teacher. Ho is a believer in tho power of prayer, and rigidly maintains a family worship. When he received the news of his nomination ho retired to his home, conversed with his family, read the ninetieth Psalm, nnd devoted an hour to family prayer. His pastor is authority for tho statement that he is deeply impressed with the belief that his nomination nnd election were in accordance with the will and providence of God, and that he is fully determined in all matters of state to seek divino guidance and conform to the divine will as ho sees it. It ii understood tho Mail n mak* itg preparations for its libel suit with the Jesuits wholly regardless of ox- penso.

Minneapolis, Mar. 27.—The long talked of glove fight, between Harry Gilmore, of Chicago, and Dan Need* ham of St. Paul, came off at 3 o'olock this morning in a barn eight miles up theriver. Much wrangling over tho preliminaries occured, but finally everything was arranged and ahortly after midnight the party left for the battle ground in carriages, John Mo- Gill, tho featherweight and St. Paul's sporting man seconded Gilmore, and John. H. Clark and Dick Mooro were behind Needham. Time wus called at 3:20 and thero ensued tho prettiest and most scientific fight over seou in the Northwest. Gilmore hud perhaps the most science but lacked in hitting power and finally in the twentieth round was knocked out by Noedham, who received a purse of $400. In the last round Gilmore received a terrific thump in the neck aud went down. Ho stood up just before time was called, but very groegy. Danny made a run and knocked Harry down. He was unable to uso for fifteen seconds, and lost the tight. The referee is a well known sporting man, and the story of the fight by rounds shows some excellent fighting was dono. Indeed it is agreed the fight was the most scientific and gentlemanly ever fought in the Northwest. No blood was shod and at the elose Needham was as freah sb a daisy, with only his right eve black. Both of Gilmoro's were blacked and ho was badly winded. He suffered no Berious damage. THE STRIKE A FAILURE, Fall Riveii, Mass. Mar 27.—Tho wcavei-*i strike ended this morning.

Loss four thousand dollars. Rev, Mr. Castle has resigned tho principal ship of the Toronto Baptist College, owing to ill health. Rev. Dr. D, A, McGregor succeeds hlm, to-day by thousands who assembled to hear the debate on tho Jesuit question. Colonel O'Brien said .he moved his amendment owing to the convictions of his conscience and what he believed to bo the sentiments of a majority of the peoplo of the Dominion. Ho reviewed the history of the Order in Canada. Far was it from him to say anything derogatory to their functions. Since tho time of Queen Elizabeth they wero suppressed in England. Their object was to overthrow the Protestant establishments in England. If they wore not expelled they were on the point of being expelled from scores of other countries. Look at their fate in France. While other religious bod- ioB in Canada were revived, thia property of the Jesuits was left out in the cold hb a result of their bad historical record. Their estates in Canada were not taken over till 1800 when the last sur-'ivor of the Order died. They were then left in truat to the Province to be administered for the cause of education. There is no legal, moral or equitable claim for a restoration of the estates. Premier Mercier himself admitted in his correspondence that the JesuitB had no legal claim upon the Government. The sixty thousand dollars out cf tbe $400,000 grout was awarded to tlie Protestant school fund of Quebec. It was a bribe nf money whioh equally belonged to the Protestants. He ridiculed the idea of the Pope interfering in Canadian civil matters and drew attention to tbe reference to the Pope in the preamble of Premier Mercier's bill. It seems childish to contend that nn aot of a. British legislature should not become law without the consent of the Pope. Tho time has come and this occasion is ouo among a number of moments when the world must know that Canada will brook no interference, civil or religious. She desires to remain British. He then moved the resolution which is as follows : "That an humble address be presented to His Excellency the Governor-General Betting forth that this House regards the power of disallowing the acts of the Legislative Assemblies of the Provinces, vested in His Excellency • in • Council, aa a prerogative essential to the national existence of the Dominion, That this great power, while it should never be wantonly exercised, should be fearlessly used for tho protection of the rights of the minority, for tho perservation of the fundamental principles of the constitution and for safe-guarding the general interests of the people. That in the opinion of this house the passage of an act by tho legislature of the province of Quebec entitled 'an act respecting a settlement of tho JeBuits' Estates,' is beyond tlio power of that legislature. Firstly: Because it endows from the public funds a religious organization thereby violating the uuwritten but undoubtedly constitutional principle of o completo separation of church and state and of the absolute equality of oil the denominations beforo the law. Secondly: Because it recognises the usnrpation of a right by a foreign authority, namely, his holiness, the Popo of Rome, to claim that hiB consent was necessary to empower a pro- vinoial legislature to dispoao of a portion of the publio domain and also becauso the act is made to depend upon his will and the appropriation of the grant thereby made is subject to tho control of the same authority, and thirdly, because the endowment of the society of Jesuits an alien, secret and political-religious body, the expulsion of which from every Ohristain community wherein it had o footing has been rendered necessary by its intolerant and unchristain intermeddling with the functions of the civil government, is fraught with danger to the civil and religious liberties of the people of Canada. Thia houae thereby prays that his excellency will be graciously disposed to disallow tho aaid act." Mr. Rykert followed. He declared that a majority of the people are not in favor of disallowance. If the provinco of Ontario were canvassed it would support the action of Mr. Mercier. The papers and aome members of the order said that no Orangeman dared to support the allowance of the order in the house. Speaking aa an Orangeman he was prepared to support the government He read from the rules of the order to show that Orangemen were obliged to support civil and religious liberty for all classes. Ho would not go in for any anti-Catholics crusado, and knowing what he did ho would not attempt to attack the Catholics in Quebec. He would be equally justified in crushing the Pro- tostanU. Ho was not here to champion tho Josuits, but could bear tribute to the good done in Canada by the Roman Catholics. Mr. Barron and Mr. Clark Wallace supported the amendment and Mr. Colby opposed it. The debate was adjourned at 11:20 p. m. HOME RULE. The Conservatives at Last iJecide on Tenant Owners and Home Rule for Ireland. John Bright Passes Away Painlessly and PeaeefuUy In the Presence of His Family, The Czar Receives a Strange Warning at the Church Altar from a Priest. SMALLEY'S CABLE. London, Mar. 27.—There seems to be no reason for much excitment over tho Birmingham announcement of the new government policy with reference to Ireland. What the Birmigham Post says is said with some flourish, but on examination it contains Uttle that is new. The germ of it all may be found in Mr. Chamberlain's laat speech in tho houae of commons, asd in Lord Salisbury's lost platform speech at Watforf. The ministry have definitely resolved, declares this Birmigham paper, whioh is Unionist, to deal with the Irish land question next year, and to introduce an Irish local government scheme the year following. The tenants are first to be turned into owners and all things else wiU then he possible, for the bottom will have dropped out of Irish discontent. The Irish demand for home rule will cease to be of a revolutionary kind. It is Mr. Chamberlain's "round table" scheme over again. Lord Salisbury has announced himself as ready for land reform without pinning himself to details. You hove only to put these two things together to discover the origin of this new portent. The Glsdstonians, of course, like it no better than they liked Mr. Parnell's new departure. They could not afford to assail ttie Irish leader for proposing to deal with home rule as an open question.

JOHN BRIGHT DEAD, London, March 27.—John Bright died at 8:30 this morning. DIED PEACEFULLY. London, March 27.—John Bright died last night at Rochdale, His strength was bo slight he was unable to rally from the dangerous condition reported yesterday, and he continued to fail gradually until the end came painlessly and quietly as if he were sinking intoa peaceful sleep. His four sons' And threo daughters who bad been hastily summoned when Mr. Bright's alarming symptoms appeared yesterday, were present at tbe death bed. BRIGHT'S DEATH. London, Maroh 27.—In the house of commons to-day, W. H. Smith, government leader, with much emotion referred to the death of Mr. Bright Smith said ho would postpone his remarks on Bright until next Friday, when Gladstone, who waa called to Scotland by the death of his brother, could be present. John Morley thanked Mr, Smith for his consideration in regard to desiring Gladstone's presence i-n 1 si-id tho latter, who was a lifelong friend of Bright, would bo greatly gratified. BUCKINGHAM DEAD, London, March 27.—The Duke of Buckingham is dead, aged 06 years. Ho was the third of the title, to which he succeeded in 1861. A STRANGE WARNING. London, March 27.—On the occasion of tho Czar's last visit to the Fortress cathedral of saints Peter and Paul, on the anniversary of his father's death, the officiating priest who presented the crucifix for the homage of the sovereign said to the Czar: "Your Majesty's greatest enemies are of yonr own household. Beware of Minister Vsrontzow of the Imperial household, and the procurer general ot tha how synod." The Czar ordered an immediate inquiry. The priest hu pronounced insane, and hss been confined io an asylum. HiB friends, however, assert that he is sane. THE SLAVE TRADE.

Marseilles, March 27.—A tiro among the docks hu caused damages amounting to two million francs. EMIGRATION FALLING OFF London, March 20.—The good immigration prospects are hardly maintained. Detailed enquiries of the agents of the Allan. Dominion and Beaver lines elicit the fact that since the spurt of the hut two weeks there has been a great decline in the booking of passengers. In the British emigrants now booked in advance to the Dominion there is a decrease of 60 per oent, compared with that of 1888. This .ib partially due to the immense emigration to tno Argentine Republio under the stimulus of free passages and and probably also to Canada's suck ef' forts in promoting immigration. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Brother James, a Tmppist monk, while working in a shingle mill at Antigonish Monastery, N.

Tlie local improvement by-law introduced nt last meeting of tho council, under the provisions of tho "New "Westminster Act, 1888," will enable much necessary and valuable streot work and improvements to be dono in uny part of the city whero twothirds of the property owners, representing one-half of tho value of the real proporty to bo directly benefitted, shall sign a poiition to the council to that clluct, agreeing to be assessed for debentures issued by tho city for tho purposes of special street work and other improvements in their respective localities. Much of such work, so . urgently needed, could not otherwise be undertaken this year, probably, if the ordinary revenue were tho only source, and the city's progress would be appreciably retarded. It is understood that property holders in various parts of the city nro anxious to avail themselves of tho provisions of a local improvement by-law, which, in fact, hus led to the council's action. In a city of Westminster's promise, and with the unbounded und reasonable con6dence which her citizens possess in its future, any measure that will tend to hasten the accomplishment of valuable und necessary public works will be amply justified in the results, While we would not advocate nor condone reckless expenditure of the city's funds, we shall heartily support all progressive movements that will help to raise our city speedily to that position which it is destined to occupy. With such resources and advantages, such an assured future, we cannot afford to crawl nny longer, where walking is practicable and safer. As the rugged winters and howling blizzards of the Atlantic coast fail to reach us on the balmy Pacific slope, except by report, so the great political and social storms which occasionally agitiate and convulse tlie popular mind in the eastern provinces, die away in a ripple and a faint echo ere the wide continent has been spanned. Notwithstanding our blissful iguorunco and comparative apathy (for which, however, we are not to bo blamed, ns we are not immediately affected), the louder roll of what was erstwhile tho "low muttering thunders" of discontent portends the speecty breaking of a storm in the eastern horizon, of which, perforce, we must be spectators, at least. It is useless to deny the importance of the precipitating causo or to attempt to confine tlio larger question growing out of the discussion on tho famous "Jesuits' Estates Act" to tho arena of pu't'y politics. This is being amply demonstrated by the widespread agitation and increasing interest being munifosted on the question throughout Ontario, principally, at tho present time, and the fact that a motion has been introduced into the Dominion parliament, calling for tlio disallowance of the obnoxious act, and which it is expected will occupy about a week in debate and evoke the most intonso interest. Every one nearly has heard something of tho "Jesuits' Estates Aet," passed by the Quebec legislature in July last, and engineered through as n government measure by Premier Mercior, whereby the lioutennnt- ' governor in council is authorized to pny to tho socioty of Jesuits in Quc- hco tho sum of $-100,000. A fow historical facts are nocessory in order to an intelligent understanding of this matter. What is known as the "Jesuits1 Estates" wore" originally granted to that order in Quebec by iho kin£ of France for the "purposo of tducating the no-1 tives of tlie oountry." Subsequently, in 1761, the Jesuits were suppressed in France and their property taken by the king for the purposes of education. As Quebec was owned by Franco nt the time, tho Jesuits' estates thero reverted to the crown. In 1773 Pope Olen-_%XIV., in his famous brief, sujipresSe* forever the order of tho Jesuits throughout tho world, confiscating all property hold by thom as a society overy whoro. Subsequently, under British rulo, the property known as tho "Jesuits' Estates" was securely vested in tho - crown and confided without reserve to the provincial legislature of Quebec, to bo used for the purposes of education, Since the days of Clc meat the Jesuits have managed to evade the full foroe of the infallible decree "suppressing" and "annihi. Uting" them "forever," and have grown into a mighty order in both numbers and influence. About three years ago Mercier, to strengthen u hinself politically, suoceefully-championed a measure through the Que fcc legislature incorporating tho order of the Jesuits once more in Canada. As is. quite natural, the "Society of Jesus" has had its eye on its long lost estates for the last hundred years, and the obliging Mercier compounded last July by I having the "Jesuits' Estates Act" pund, thus recognising the olaim ] and compensating tho order with §400,000 to be used ostensibly "for the purposes of education." Neither at tho timo of the incorporation of the Jesuits, nor last year, whon the estates' act was boforo tho legislature, was there any opposition to speak of from any quarter within the province, which fact is accounted for by some on tho ground of the hopelessness of a forlorn minority opposition. The people .and a section of tho press of Ontario have,, however, recently taken the question up in dead earnest, and the result has been that strong pressure has been brought to bear on tho federal authorities to disallow tho "Jesuits' Estates Act," and various are the opinions held and expressed as to tho constitutionality of the measure, tho moro prominent and tho larger number both of Conservatives and Liberals boing of the opinion, bo far, that tho act waa strictly within the rights of provincial legislation and, therefore, not disallowable. Ool. O'BHpn's motion, asking the house to pronounce in favor of disallowance, was, as will bo seen, introduced yesterday at Ottawa, and it is expected that tho leading speakers on both sides of tho house will take part in a most interesting debate, 'Inch will probably continue for several days. As regards the altitude of tho press on the question, it is worth whilo remarking that the Toronto Mail hns beon a consistent champion for disallowance throughout, while the Globe flopped suddenly and mysteriously the other day to the same side, after upholding for somo months, with the majority of tlie loading eastern papers, the constitutionality of the act. As far as the motion boforo the house is concerned, the niatter will be settled, probably, on strictly technical or constitutional grounds. It is tho deeper question, howover, as to tho morality of tho transaction that must continue to agitate the public mind, whatever temporary conclusion is reached by parliament It may bo decided, technically, that the province of Quebec has a right to dispose of its lands and its money as it sees fit; but it will bo asked by many thinking people, Catholics and Protestants, throughout the Dominion, Are we going back to the dark ages, and even beyond them, that an order turned out of nearly every Catholic country in Europe, over a hundred years ago, and banned by the most eminent and pious of popes and cardinals, should bo nurtured and nourished, and practically given tho reins, in free (I) Canada at this stage of the nineteenth century !

How Medical Science IS 'Practiced lu tho Flowery Kingdom. 1 recently visited the Tung Wa Hospital ut Hon*- Kong, uud how thoro muuy things of interest, tbo routine in a Chinoso Hospital being vory differout from that of a European ono, says a writer In tho St. James1 Qazeiic. In the early days of tho colony tho Chinoso .inhabitants used commonly to thrust out tholr sick and dying Into the stroot, thero to perish.' To remedy so scandalous a stato of things the Government offered to provide a hospital for tho oxoluslvo uso of tho Chinoso community, and this offer they accepted, with tho proviso that it should bo undor their own management. A suitable building was accordingly erected and handed ovor to a Chinoso committeo ta 18«7. Tho medical staff are alt Chinese, and their practice, I was informed, is quito uninfluonccd hy European science. As our chair coolieB deposited us at tho entrance to tlio hospital, a flne atone building situated in the center of tho Chinese quarter, we observed a crowd of peoplo in front of a series of largo frames suspended against tho wall and containing somo hundreds of photographs, Tbo stolid demeanor of tiio crowd gavo us no hint as to tho tragic naturo of tho exhibition; and it was only on our way out that a casual glance at tho photographs revealed to us tho ghastly truth. A fow days previously ono of tho passongor steamboats which ply botween Hong Kong and Canton took Uro whilo she had on board over throo hundred Chinese, who had gono to tho jubilee celebration. 'Nearly all thoso poor poople were lost, thong tho steamboat was ruu ashoro and thero wero plenty of nativo boats about. Tho fow who woro saved owed their livos to a passing European vossol. Tho committee of tho Tung Wa Hospital had hud tho bodies photographed, and tho gruesome picturo was shown in public for purposes of identification, A Icbb careless glance now shows U3 Bomo pathotio groups—wives, husbands, parents, ehildron, searching for what might turn a terrible fear into a no loss terrible certainty; but tho indifference and stolidity of tho Chinoso character woro still vory apparent in tho crowd. Tho hospital itself is a large two-story building with verandas, and it contains largo, airy wards of tho usual character. Each ward, howovor, ia dividod by incomplete wooden partitions into eight cells, In oach of which is accommodation for two patients, who thus oujoya certain dogrooof privacy. TheBO Chinoso havo yot to loam the paramount importance in a hospital of cleanliness and good ventilation. The bods consisted of boards resting on trestles, and covered by a grass mat, with a bamboo pillow, and by oach was an earthen pipkin .containing modicino. Many of tho sick woro smoking—somo tobacco, moro of thom opium. Wo heard that ln cases which wero considered hopeless patients wero allowed to smoke opium ad lib.; if so, the percentage of hopeless cases must have been high, .judging from tho number of patients who gazed at us with lack-luster oyos and list- loss oxproflsion. Tho othor pationta nodded pleasantly to us, and tho present of a cigar or cigarette evoked numberless " Chin- chins." Tho wards themselves woro fairly clean, but the patients as a rule were dirty, and among tho surgical cases wo observed many with undressed, unwashed wounds, and other evidences of neglect. In tho women's quarters wo camo upon a group of somo thirty or forty young girla, many of thom really protty, whoao merry laughtor aud tho vigor with which thoy plied their chop-Btioks, emptying bowls of rice, fish, etc., suggested thnt thoy could not bo patients. Wo learned that thoy wero kidnaped girls, mostly from tho mainland, who had boon rescued by tho police and woro i lodged at tlio hospital uutil claimed by thoir frionds. Tho dispensary was tho place of greatest interest, perhaps. It was most neatly and methodically arranged, and tho staff wore hard at work making up -prescriptions. Round tho walls wore numberless drawers, mostly-containing-dried plants, shedded. roots, minerals, etc.; also, vossols filled with bones, huge nauceous-looking boluses, as big as plumbs, oto. Among tho bones Bomo < fragments of a tiger's frame woro shown us as a groat treasure, their use being to "makoe trong," as tho dispenser explained. As oach prescription was read • portions of various roots, loaves, etc., wero weighed out, wrapped up in brown paper, 1 and marked with a brush. In an adjoining room we saw tho rest of tho process. Each packet of drugs was placed in an earthen pipkin, with water, and Bet to simmer on a charcoal flro, and tho resulting decoction was sont to tho pationt in tho pipkin in which it had been made. We thon glanced at the small-pox patients, each of whom was isolated in a largo, dark, stone celL Vaccinnation is littlo practiced by tho Cbmese, and consequently small-pox is very prevalent. But tho committeo of tho hospital havo organized a staff of vaccinators, who are doing good work. Wo found a few lunatics confined in stronly-barred, padded colls, clean but dark; a fow of tho patients had chains on, but tho majority were freo. Our final visit was to tho outrpationt department, whore wo found a vory portly and cheory native physician, who greeted us courteously and showed us his implements, etc, consisting of pitch- plasters. His lost patient, a wizen-faced, voluble old woman, was just going away, but Bho turned bock and showed us a sore leg, with a plaster on It, Evidently aho was Improving, for, pointing to her doctor, Bho exclaimed; **Ho number one piocee," and then, her English boing too scanta to give expression to her gratitude, she proceeded to sound hia praises in her own language, somewhat to Uio old gentleman's embarrassment, though ho smiled and nodded pleasantly at her, Aftor glancing in at a somewhat tawdry joss houso we dopartcd, On our way back wo visited the Alice Memorial Hospital^ a new institution with a European medical staff. Wo wero told tbat it was founded by a Chineso gentleman who bod studied mediolne in England, and found on his return that his countrymen wero too prejudiced to afford him any scope for his western science. Tho wards wero clean anda woll ordored and full of patients. Already it has drawn a good many patients away from the Tung Wa, ROUTING A BEAR. Bruin Trees a Cowboy with m Grin, But Itotirctt In Discomfiture. A cowboy tells tho Fargo correspondent of tho Minneapolis Tribune this boar story: " I haven't timo to tell you a long -yarn* tonight, but will givo you my first experience with a bear, away back in tho oarly mining days, whon Helena was a mora mining camp, and not largo at that. I had struck a prospect pooket away up near tbo head of Lonosomo gulch, and was working it alone, Iliad to go down tha gulch formy regular grubstake one fino day in tho fall of 1863. , My prospect was about seven miles from Helena, and I had mado a little over half tbo distance on my way back, littlo dreaming of bears or any thing else but my gold \ pockot, which hadn't panned out aa well as I expected. "My horso was pretty well loaded with . flour, bacon and other stuff, and I had my riflo lying across the flour sack in front of mo, My horse seemed to be dreaming, as .1 was, whon out of tho brush Into our path walked a great big boar. My horso gavo a snort and wheeled liko a flash, throwing mo into the brush as he departed down the trail as If all tho boars In the oountry were at his heels. I had no revolver and uiy riflo was traveling down tbo mountain, "My knowledge of boars was liiuitcd-aud l: that particular time I was not anxious'for any now acquaintances in tbat lino, but not so tho bear. Ho seomod to regard me with a friendly eye, for ho boldly advanced,while I made for a tree with all tho speed tbat my legs woro capable of. The bear wanted to keep me company, for ho got to the foot of tbo tree by tbo timo I had gained a limb about six feet from tho ground. Tho troo was just about small enough for tho follow to climb, and he tried his claws on tho bark aa high as ho could roach. I was in a bad fix and uo way to help myself. " 1 couldn't uso n kuifo for I had none, but good luok and a happy thought helped mo. I had a canteen of kerosene oil suspended around my nook, which I thought would mako his eves Bmart and drive him away. Tlie oil had no effect on tho oyes if it managed to get into thom, for, tho miserable brute continued to look up ab me and Boomed to grin. Thon another Idea got into my hoad. I had a fresh'box of matches, and if 1 could sot flro to tho oil that I puurcd ovor the bear's hoad the battlo was won. L mado several attempts to drop burning matches on tho oily hair of thu bear, but tho lucifors either went out or missed the mark. " I had no paper, but I managed to tear a piece of lining out of my vest, and gotti n g a limb almost threo feet long fastened tho rag to it, set firo to the rag; and with moro satisfaction than I ovor did any thing sinco, lowered the burning rag at tho end of the stick until within about three feot of tho boar's oil-soaked hoad and let it drop. In about ono second I was enjoying all tlio fun to myself, and tho other follow was in trouble "The oil instantly took fire, and tho blaze from tho burning hair was something good for one in my place to gaze at Tho animal was surprised beyond the limit of any bear's imagination. One howl of pain, thon up wout tho paws to rub the burning bend to got burut for their trouble, followed by another howl; thon down went tho nose into tho dirt, but no relief, when, with a terrible howl, tho boar made a rush through tho brush up tho mountain out of sight. "Well, boys," Baid Sullivan, "you may laugh all you'ro a-mind to, but it will bo many a long day before you can onjoy any tiling U31 did to seo that bear cut up so soon aftor lio thought that I was his moat. I didn't wait long aftor tho boor loft, for his howls might have called somo of hts friends around to seo what was up. I found most of my provisions scattered down tlio gulch and my horso in tho Prickly Pear valloy, I nover mot nuy liuntor or .minor that found my boar in his trnvols, ond I think tho poor cuss must havo died. I'll seo you oil to-morrow night," and tho old man bad gono up tho bluff to his cabin. PRETTY YANKEE GIRLS. . rjomo of Thoso Who Havu Blsm-locl French Politicians and Not-lumen, I proposo iu tliia lotter to mention briefly *omo of tho American girls who have wedded Frenchmen, and to give you somo jttlo Idea of thomsolvcs uud thoir families, vrltos a Paris correspondent of the Now "i ork Matt and .Express. Mine. Wuddiugtou, ■vifo of tho Fronch Ambassador to England, .vas Miss King, of New York, whoso fa'.hor .vas onco prcsidont of Columbia College During the exposition of 1878 M. Wudding- lon was Minister of Foreign Affairs; nnd I -.-member that at ouo of tbo grand balls jlvOn at tho palace of the Quay d'Orsay Jlmo. Waddington and a young gentleman .'rom Now York led tho cotillon, or " ger- .nan," as wo say in America. I waa vory .iroud to see all thoso dnneors followiug ho load of two of my compntrlots. Ono of Mino. Waddington's sisters married Hon. ".ugeno Schuyler. Another sister Is the ,vifo of Mr. Wostenborg, who onco ropre- ,cutcd tlio Netherlands in Washington, and who is now accredited to the court of King Humbert. On her husband's sido sho is well related. Hor brother-in-law, -liehard Waddington, represents Rouen in tho Chamber of Deputies, and another brother-in-law _b a profossor in the fjorbonno, Tho Waddintrtons nro quito as much English as French. Thoy wero born .n Paris, of English parents, and educated n English as well aa In French schools. Mr. Itichurd Waddington's wife is Scotch, and .hoy all speak English as easily as Fronch,. .ilthough Mr. William Waddington once -uid to me that if ho wished to mako a speech 116 preforred to do so in Fronch. The wifo of another distinguished French publio man Is also an American. I refer to Mme. Cle- aioncoau. Sho was Mias Mary Plumber, of >conwich, Conn., and first met her future ■ liusband nt a well-known Connecticut voung ladies' boarding-school, whoro young Dr, Ciomoncoau war- tho French teucho;\ lime. Clomonccau is frequently seem at public receptions with her husband, but, with the exception of au oceustonc*. uppcar- mit'o. on invitation, ut the United Statos Minister's, Bho is seldom seen ia American circles' at Paris. This is said to bo duo to tho intiuoncbof hcrliUBbitnd, who wishes his wifo to become ^Wholly French." And he lias succeeded admirably., Mme. Clomcn- jcau speaks tho laugu ngo with only a slight accent—less than her husband has in English—and has adapted herself very quickly and readily to her new surroundings, Although at heart sho is atrongty'American, on tho surface sbo is decidedly Fronch and European, M. Rlbot, one of the ablest mon on tho Republican sido of tho Chamber, is the husband of the daughter of Mr. Bureh, ouco a prominent Chicago banker. Thoro is tho Marchioness do Talloyrand- Porigord, for Instance Sho was Miss Curtis, of Now York. Her father was once a "merchant princo" who lived on Murray Hill and was related to ox-Governor Hoffman and othor woll-known Manhattan families. Sho got a divorco a short timo ago from hor Lothario of n husband, who has sinco married unothor American, Tho Bis- ter of the Marchioness was oho of the prettiest young girla in Paris whon sho wo3 in hor teens—sho may bo yot, but 1 huvo not scon hor for several years-and mui'i-icd, somo two or throe yeara ago, Princo Uospoli, mombor of a distinguished Italian family. Miss Curtis was hia third wifo. BaronosB do Cbavctto, wifo of tho commander of tho Pontifical Zouaves, was Misa Polk, daughter of Colonel Polk, of Nashville, Tenn,, and granddaughter of Bishop Polk, who was killed in battlo during tho of tho rebellion, not granddaughter of President Polk, as has been ofton stated, Mme do Charotto now fives at-La Basso Motto, an estato presented to hor husband by tho zouaves. Baron do Charctlo Is nephew of tho lato Count do Chombord, and for that reason, if for no other, in''more Royalist than tho King." Tho Viscountess do Courvnl was Miss Ray, of Now York. While traveling with her parents in tho Holy Lund sho mot tlio Viscount, wbo was fascinated with hor charms and married hor. He died u fow yenrs ugo, and tho Viscountess now lives alono in hor beautiful houso, 0 Ruo Forlin, Champs-Elyseos, Hor entertainments aro among tho most umgnillcout given in Paris. At 83 Fifth uvenuo lived Miss Elsio Forbes, who, in 18ft, became the Duchess do Cboisoul-Fraslin. Miss Norma Christ* mus, of New Orleans, is now tho Marchioness do Buarc.: d'Autau. Liko Mme do Charotto, sho profers to llvo nt hor husband's country place, near Marseilles, and, although sho has a lino residence in the Avenue du Hois do Boulogne, sho is scarce* iy known to Parisian Bocioty. Tho Marchioness do Mores, who will sonic day be Duchess do Vallombrosa, was Miss Medora von Hoffman, of New York. Tho report of hor contemplated divorce is without foundation. Sho aud tho Marquis havo gono to India, intending to spend a year hi hunting, Hor ambition at present is to bo tho ' flrst woman to kill a I rhinoceros. Tho Princo of Wales' has given M. and Mmo, do Mores lotters of introduction to aU tho Raiahs and Muhiv rajahs, and thoir friendly relations with Lord Dufforin, tho Viceroy, will also add greatly to thoir sources of ontortaiumont whilo in India. On his return tho Marquis intends to engago in somo colossal railroad schemo in America.

Tho steamship Walla Walla reached San Franciaco on Saturday nfter a passage from Victoria of eixty hours. Immediately upon arrival Capt. Blackburn waa interviewed with reference tu the charge against tho steamer for smuggling. The captain makes light uf the charge. He says it was simply a clerical error, Tho barrels of grease, alleged to contain opium, were marked on tho San Francisco manifest and it was not copied to tho coastwise ono. Ho nlso thinks the opium muat have been placed in the barrels while they lay on tho wharf at Tacoma. Now that operations at the Monarch mine are temporarityauspended, owing to the smelter nt Vancouver not boing able to smelt its ore, Field will ngain be a strictly railroad hamlet. It is rumored that the company will at once put in additional sidetracks, add 3 more stalls to the roundhouse, nnd make other needed changes and improvements, so as to make Field a sort ot big hill division point.

The store had been most artistically prepared for tho reception of the ladies, and the beautiful linos of new goods of new designs and eolors wero draped and folded so as to show off their shades and uses tu tho best advantage. Tho storo was liko a ben-hive nil day and it was with thegreatest difficulty the firm kept to their resolve not to sell any goods, It is safe to say that a more varied and better selected stock of dry goods was never exhibited in British Columbia, nnd Messrs.

En-lion CoisCMOiANi—At the foot of tho column of "Notes nnd Comments" In yonr issue of the Mth inst. there appears tho apparent and startling' discovery by a correspondent of tho London Daily News, that a typographical error In the book of Zochanah, chap, XI. verse 17: "Woo to the Idol shepherd that leaveth the flock," etc., whicli ho would correct by substituting tho word "idle" for idol" had escaped all otber readers and students of the Bible since 18311; and tho revising company had consigned the fault to oblivion by using the word "worthless" avoiding any reference marginal or otherwise to tlio alteration made. A statement of thia character In a dally paper circulating In populous districts-—where other reading matter is both abundant and diversified—might pass unchallenged; but coming In The Coi-UT-nuAN, ob a sweet morsel to a sojourner in camp where othor current Ht*- Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla erature la rare, It could scarcely bs ex- fiected to pass unnoticed. ( In this case, he writer wearied with swinging an axe, and thirsting to know the true inwardness of the matter, resolved that tho day of rest should be pressed into unusiuil sorvico. A dusty Hebrew Bible, Geseu* ius' Lexicon, and Young's Concordance— world renowned—were consulted. With onu accord they declared that the worthy correspondent had advanced his views through a "density of ignorance" unequalled figuratively by the London fog. The Hebrew Bible has the word elil na tbo original; Gesenius shows that the word is derived from the verb alal, and means "nought," a "thing of nought," "of no value," worthless," "vain," "empty," "idols as nought or nothing," and gives Job xiii, verse 4, as an example; ■'physicians of no value," Young's Concordance shows that tho word eUlis used in that sense in the following texts, viz: Lev. xix, 4, "Turn ye not unto Idols," kc.; Lev. xxvi, 1, "Ye shall make ye no idols," ko.} I. Chr. xvi, 26, "For all the gods of tho people are idols"; Fs, xevi, fl, "For all the gods of the nations aro idols"; Ps, xovh, 7, "That boast them* selves of idols"; Ib. ii, 8, "Their land also is full of idols"; Is. ii, 18, "And the idols he shnll utterly abolish"; Ib. ii, 20, "His idols of silver aud his idols of gold"; Is. x, 10, "And bath found the kingdoms of the idols"; Ia, x, 11, "Ab I have done unto Samaria and her idols"; Ib. xix, 1, "Tho idols of Egypt shall bo moved"; Is. xix, 3, "They shall seek tothe idols"; Is, xxxi, 7> "His idols of silver and his Idols of gold"; Ez. xxx, 13, "I will also destroy tho idols", Hah. il, 18, "That trustcth therein to make dumb idols"; Zee. xi, 17, "Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock." Tho word j'rf- phah, which moans "idle," "remiss," is used in Ex, v, 8, "They be idle, therefore they cry," also, Ex. v, 17, "Ye arc idle, ye aro idle." The words of a well- known professor come to tho mind: "You cannot improve on tho words of tho book," An immense Douglas pine, laboring under a prolonged squall, rivets attention. Many a dark and threatening scene that tree has survived! Axeman. I Logging Camp, Mud Bay. PROGRESS.
