Now suppose 'General Harrison' is li Presbyterian," all tho people of the United States are not. He has not been olcut'il president for tlio purpose of dictating reforms- in the' social oinusoroentfl of the public, which hy the great majority are regarded as harmless. If Gen. Harrison - consulted his own tasto and inclination, lie would most likely dispense, ..as much as was in his power, with all the fuss and parade upon the oc- casiou. But being a man of sense, lie will in all probability leave all the arrangement and responsibility in the hands of others, and perform simply the duties of a Christian gentleman required of him upon the great occasion. There was disposed of in a London auction room the other day, says an exchange, a arrange . object which suggests the reflection that the most precious relics of one age may descend to base uses in the next, The objeot referred to was the Hindoo "Lingham" god, consisting of a cat's- eye standing upright in a topoz, and mounted on a pyramidal base studded with diamonds and other gems. The Lingham god reigned in venerated splendor for a thousand years in the temple of Delhi, but in the Indian Mutiny of 1857 the last King of Delhi got into the hands of the conqueror, and the god disappeared in the general ruin. It was supposed to have been secreted by the Queen of Delhi, who sold it and after passing through the hands of several unbelievers it hu at last been subject to the indignity of a knock-down in the auction room. The butchery of the gladiator to "make a Roman holiday" was a handsome distinction compared to thefate which has overtaken this old idol. A writor in the New York Graphic makes the following sensible remarks : Things and not books should keep young eyes busy. You should hear the wrath of Boston doctors with children of their own over the increasing work ot the school committees of that and near towns put on the pupils. "If I let ' my girl study half that is prescribed," says one, "she would be myopio in two years and sightless by thirty, I wish I could move out to Dakota, twenty miles from the nearest school house, and bring the children up myself. They would know a hawk from a hernshaw as far as any one. See those boys with big, handsome eyes, going from school. Half can't sight a target or a duck in a marsh or a ship down tho bay, If the country should have another war the government would have to find regiments in speotaclesl Nine hours a day do those publio school children pore over school-books with the vilest print that ruin eyes. Between the poor print of tha ichool books and the newspapers, ahd incessant reading, we are losing eyes es fast as possible. The big, handsome-eyed women have to nte atropine to see at all. and the olever women all have contraoted sunken eyes from reading too muoh, They begin at five years old and keep up tasking the eyes till the amaurosis sets in. Do you know thero isn't one person in SOO with really good eyes, snd fewer children I" PEACH rilEWCTP.Il.

TROUBLE AMONO THE REBELS. Suakim, Jan. 2.—General Grenfell will shortly return to Cairo; a special parade of the troops took place to-day when the Egyptian officers and men were highly commended by tho khe- dive, through General Grenfell for their bravery in the recent battles. General Grenfell addressed tho troops and gave the men gratuities. A deserter from the Arab camp says that Osman Digma attempted to send the women of his harem to Suakim fearing trouble with the Dervishes. The women were started, but were stopped by the Arab scouts and sent back to Handoub. The Dervishes are very euspicious of Osman Digma, whom they accuse of treachery. Arab scout, mounted on camels and spearmen on foot were observed to-day from an outlying post.

In one of the attempts Sergeant McComb received severe pitchfork wounds in the cheek and leg and serious injuries about the head from the stones with which the attacking party were pelted, and oarried away entirely disabled.

Mitchell, Kilrain's manager, asking him to arrange a meeting between the latter and Jackson for a purse of $0,000, McAuliffe, when spoken to last night about his battle with Jackson, said: "Jackson is a good man and a square fighter, and I was not in condition Friday night. I was made to believo I had a soft thing and therefore did not train enough. As soon as 1 get over my soreness, which will be in a week, I am going to challenge Jackson to tight for $2,600 a Bido I think that he will give me a return.

Concluding a retrospect of- the yesr, the Winnipeg Sun says: "No one is heard discussing the prospects of emigrating. All seem to be well satisfied with their present home. Our merchants arc hopeful They tell of increased business, of a less stringent money market, and of notes promptly paid. Loan companies speak of few renewals and the tale of mortgages unredeemed is rarely heard. All Manitoba now requires is a reign of peace; all she asks is to be let alone and permitted to work out her own destiny. Her own-people will advertise her; her wonderful prodigies in the production of grain will attract what is her only present need—more Bottlers. With a fair field and no favors, Manitoba will be heard from in a very few years and will assort herself as 'the keystono of that mighty arch of provinces extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific,' about which Lord Dufferin so proudly spoke. The inhabitants of our province are a sturdy, enterprising, pushing people, generally pervaded by a spirit of honesty and frankness. There are signs that the spirit of enthusiasm, which in the past has been their chief characteristic, is rapidly giving place to soundness and maturing of thought. As the province grows and crystallizes into proper shape, so will her people assume the same mould. The retrospect is over. Although the year has not been one of pronounced prosperity, it has been one of fair average progress, sufficient to make us lift our hearts und voices in the song,' Praue God, from whom all blessings flow.'" There is not much hankering after annexation in the foregoing, and Manitoba has been quoted by American "assimilators" as having no hope save in annexation. Various and contradictory are the views held and expressed on the much ventilated subject of woman suffrage. In conservative England, and among the "lords temporal," too, this disturbing question has divided tbe house, so to speak. Tlie Duke of Argyle, facetiously known in the north nf Scotland as the "red bantam," says an exchango, holds strong views as to tho subjection of women, nnd was accustomed to tell his audiences at popular lectures in Edinburgh that " a woman has no right to appear upon a platform except when she is about to be hanged —then it is unavoidable," much to the delight of his fellow-bantams, Tho duke, being truly loyal, did not, of course, extend his limitation to the sovereign; the freedom of the throne snd the freedom of tho scaffold were thus open to men and women alike. The duke had to bear a good deal of chaffing comparisons with respect to his own womenkind, especially with his mother-in-law, the notable Duchess of Sutherland, who was in the eyes of some as much his superior mentally as she was physically. In common with most of his brother Whig landlords, the duke has recently sworn off from Mr. Gladstone and been effusive in his adhesion to Lord Salisbury; and now his new love has wounded him in bis tenderest spot. Speaking at Edinburgh recently the prime minister said: " I earnestly hope that tho day is not far distant when women also will bear their share in voting for members of parliament and hi determining the policy of the country. I can conceive no arguments by which they are excluded," Speaking of woman suffrage, the ladies of Boston lately availed themselves of the municipal franchise to tho number of 20,000. The occasion was the election of the board of aldermen anil the committee on schools for tbe ensuing year. A merica thus describes the situation; "The mayoralty, tho board of aldermen, and the committee on schools being under the control of Roman Catholics, the work of undoing the Reformation, setting aside the Protestant colonisation of America, surrendering the fruits of the Revolution, and generally going back on the truths of history, was begun by kioking Swinton's History out of the public schools, and reprimanding an American school-teacher who had dared to tell his pupils that the Roman Catholic ohurch had ever sold indulgences." We take the above extract from a long article on the subject in America. Commenting on the election, America says: "A Protestant Re publican majoritj-ggOf 8 _U> i was ' t'l^J----_-_______m_____m>', and ■jttee Apropos of the discussion about convict labor, we quote the following taken from Boston Budget: "The necessity of labor for human happiness is at present strikingly shown in tho state prisons of New York. Owing to some neglect by the legislature the convicts are left without employment, The result is a great increase in insanity. Ono of the physicians recently resigned, giving as a reason that constant idleness would produce a condition of misery that he would be powerless to alleviate. Besides, as men aro constantly going insane, the danger to keepers, physicians; and attendants greatly increases. While kept at work, comparatively few become sick, and only occasionally does ono become insane. Idleness has filled the hospital, and an average of three every week become unmanageable and are sent off to the insane asylums. It really seems that when a convict is sentenced to a term of years at hard labor ho is entitled to relief if the conditions are not in all respects fully complied with. Confinement in idleness may indeed be so much worso than confinement at work as to come within the list of cruel and unnsual punishments forbidden by the United States constitution." A- phase of the subject is presented here whioh must be kept in view when discussing the whole subject of convict labor. The state assists in making many of its criminals, and for that reason, and in any event, owes them a duty, after they are incarcerated, as well as it does to society in incarcerating them. It may bo laid down as a prime condition, that the convicts, both in the jails nnd penitentiaries, should and must be em- played continuously at something, as much for their own good as oh grounds of economy. It then becomes incumbent upon the state to so arrange matters, if possible, as that the labor of its convicts shall bear injuriously upon no particular class or section of the community. Except in the case of the commonest sorts of labor, such as street and road work, the convicts should not be brought into competition with freo labor, In other Words, the products of skilled penitentiary labor should not be put upon the market at a lower rate than the same grade hi goods made by free mechanics, nor should the market be indiscriminately flooded within circumscribed bounds, nor with such articles us would affect most injuriously the legitimate and ordinary industries of the country. We believe that, in some way, the penitentiaries could be bo administered that the convicts would be continuously employed, without tho infliction of injurious competition upon the mechanic or laborer. So far, the problem has not come home to us with any force in this province, as the improvements in the penitentiary grounds, and supplying the needs of the institution, have kept the convicts busy; but this atate of things can hardly last, and a consideration of the subject is not out of placo. Mr. T. C. Berchard, publio school teacher; Norland, writes: "Daring the fall of 18811 ava. much troubled with biliousness and dyspepsia, and part of the time was unablo to attend to tne duties of my profesaion.

Among my tour-year-old daughter's birthday gilts waa tho lamiliar toy known as "Nosh's ark," nnd Its wooden Inmates .mre an Immediate and deep delight. The day after her birthday she sat on the floor and began the arrange -,*{nt ol A long procession. "One woman hadn't any man to go with," she said. "I think you'll find another In the ark," I suggested, without looking up. "What Ssn ark?" ahe aaked.looking sharply for Noah ot ens of tbe boys. "PThe ark," I lepllsd, wss a sort ol a boat like a houw, for a low people to live In when God drowned all the rest because they were wicked." "Here's the other man 11 can tell the men by their hats, The men's hats are black and the women's are blue. How'd he drown them?" "He made it rain forty days IB * forty °gM"yi didho. Awful beat Bard's It could pour?" It now occurred to me that ln the multiplicity ol other duties we had neglected the story of the flood, and that here was a good time to tell It. "Would you like to hear about It?" I asked. "Oh, yes, mammal" sho exclaimed with a child's eagerness for a story, and promptly deserting her play sho seated herself in her little rocker. "A long time ago/'I began— .„ - "Csn yon renumber It, mamma t" "No. It wu long before Icu remember." "My I It-wii be iloat Usm ByoB "tbo twenty* seven i**ri**Adtod years I should say." I began again: "A long time ago the world was lull of very wicked people who wonld not obey God but did every. thing to displease him"— "What did they do so awful?" "Why, I suppose they were unkind to ich other and told wrong stories, and did otherdreadfulthings, t'o after wait ing a long time for them to grow better God became discouraged"— "What's discouraged?" "When I say GodTrecamo discouraged I mean he thought there wss no use saying anv more to make these people good, and that he might as well destroy them." "What's destroy?" "To destroy anything means to pnt an end to it God thought he must kill these people and so put an end to them." "All ol them?" "Yes all of them." "Little girls?" "Yes, I suppose thoy wen wicked too. You know little girls are sometimes " saucy to their mammas and nnkind to their brothers snd sisters and don't love to go to Sunday school." "If tholr mammas keep them home ior ioar they'll catch tho whooping cough, then what?" (This was s recent experience,) "Of course that would not be wrong. Yon needn't Interrupt me so much, I can't tell a story if yoa talk all the Ume." "Well, I wont talk any more. Goon, mamma." "So God sent a great flood to drain*, everybody," "What's s flood?" "So much water that It covets the around, and gets Into the houses and docs a great deal of harm. But Noah and his wife were good, and so wero Noah's eons and their wives, and God wanted to save them. So he told Noah to make an ark—" "Did God use to talk to (oiks'?" "Yes, sometimes, and sometimes he sent sn angel." "Mamma, angels don't have to wear any clothes," uid my auditor irrelevantly. "What makes yon think that?" "Why. I've seen them in pictures and they only have to wear wings and a sheet sround them." "I thought you were hot going to talk until I finished my story." "Wall, I'm not, msmma," "Nosh worked a long time bnlldlng ths ark. and he made It lust as God told him, and he was careiul to have it strong enough to keep out the water, and f presume nil his neighbors thought he was wastingtime ana work and was vet}, foolish.

During tho Paris Exhibition of 1S7S ho had lost a shirt, or something equally important The Uanchisseusc protested lier innocence, and, in spite ot all that was said, the article was not forthcoming; it only remained to pay ths bill. In it the missing shirt stood charged among the items. The charge was objected to; but the washerwoman shifted her ground to meet the new attack—"All I know Is, monsieur, that I washed tbe thing before I lost It." I • I m dot So Hash to Blame.

Young Husband (tenderly)—How good you aro, darling 1 Can yoa think I'll ever soil that shirt by wearing it? Never I I shall keep it snd cherish it forever. (With heroic firmness) I wouldn't wear that shirt down town, Maria, for s whole years salary. A Contradiction. When people lose their tempers thoy are apt to eay things that are contradictory. Two New York gentlemen got into a quarrel at their dura. Finally ono ol them, who believes in the code, said excitedly: "You are a low blackguard and an nnmitigated scoundrel.

The Buildings Erected During 11188 and their Values Make a Splcn- did Showing* for the City. Tlie Prosperity or the City Evinced by the Many Fine Residences Built During the Season. CORRESPONDENCE. A Few Saber KeOectlons. Editor Columbian.—Now that the holidays are past, and there will be a chance to settle down to sober thought, it might not be amiss to review some of the sayings and doings of ourselves and others, under the extra excitement of the roast beef and plum pudding, saying nothing of the other exciting causes which abound In new communities. Your Vanoouver contemporaries have outstripped everything in the shape of a local exhibition of hopei and prospects for the future. According to these hopeful journals, Vancouver is to be the hub of all creation, the great distributing centre, not only for B. C, bnt for "China, Japan and India to the west, and England and all Europe to tbe east." I am not disposed to quarrel with these yonng giants of the terminal oity about the size of the potatoes, cabbages, cauliflowers, etc., which B. C. Is capable of railing; and the fine applet, pears, etc., whioh can be grown in the Fraser valley; but when I come to the wild assertion tbat "B. 0, Is capable of producing more fruit than Canada and the U. 8. combined," I am disposed to question the prophetic genius of the writer, and can- not help thinking that ho must have been under the inspiration of something stronger than soda-water, As an antidote to such extravagant ravings the writer on "Fruit and Horticulture" should grub and plant an sore in "Stanley Park" in fruit trees, and wait the result. In the meantime he could try his band at raising some of the mammoth vegetables we read about, and by tho time that his orchard was producing enough to help swell the great export trade of which by inspiration he has caught such a vivid glimpse, no doubt "-nr--" "a his head will be "silvered o'er with age and long experience will have made him •age." _aa^ Pumpkin, Home Energy, Home, Capital uud Home Talent, aad met Foreign Capital, Fathers ear Progress, New Westminster has shown by the rapid strides it has made during tho post two years that its many natural advantages aro doing for the Royal City what foreign capital and inflation aro doing for other cities. The wonderful growth New Westminster has mado during tho year just closed is hardly known to our own people. In the business portion of the city tho changes which have taken place were easy of note, but it is on the outskirts and in the suburbs that the progression is most noteworthy and surprising. For lack of funds tbe city has been unable to open out new streets and clear them of the trees, stumps and logs with whioh they have been encumbered for centuries. But tho energetic lot-owner has not been deterred by these drawbacks and has managed to build even among the stumps and logs the homo which in a few years will ho a perfect and lovely paradise. The value of business blocks erected during 1888 does not equal that of the previoui year, but in residential buildings, the true sign of a city's prosperity, a greater number wero erected during the year than tlio grand total for the three years previous. Plans are now in preparation for a number of tine blocks to be built during the year we have, now entered on, and, as dwelling houses are still at a premium and in great demand, it is almost certain that tho Royal City has entered on a year of progress and prosperity whioh will completely eclipse the past The following list, which includes most of the structures erected during the year will give a fair impression of our substantial advancement; Presbyterian church, corner of Blackwood and Carnarvon Btreets; built of brick, handsome in style and finish and has a seating capacity for 1200 people. Designed by Mr. G. W. Grant; Ackerman Bros., contractors. Cost, $14,- 000. Hamley Block, on Columbia street; (10x70ft; 2 stories; contains 3 fine stores with plate glass fronts. L.
