At the close of last year ita annuls numbered 2290, of which 1121 tyid been added during tho year. In experiments continued for four yeara, M. V. Larroquo hns found thut, after eight or nine months, copper wires under the action of electric currents show signs of deterioration. A Mexican plant, called by natives the "herb of - prophecy," is reported to induce a sleep seemingly indentical with the hypnotic stato. The patient is completely insensible, bi-t answers questions put to him, and obeys any commands given. An official report states that in England and Wales 540 persons were killed by lightning during the 20-yonra from 1852 to 1880. The inhabitant;' of rural districts aro found "to suffer moro from lightning than those of towns, while vicinity to the west and south coasts reduces the chnncpfi of| injury by lightning, and. distance from the coast and high land soeni to increaso them. . Thk Largest Meteoric Inos.—■ The heaviest purely metallic meteorite known is the "thunderbolt" of the Arab Sheik Kalaph Ben Arab. It fell in Central Arabia, and is one of the ten known meteorites that havo been seen when falling. It wus bought by English authorities, who have since caused it to be chemically analyzed. It contains 91.04 per cent of iron, 7.40 nickel, 0,66 cobalt, traces of copper, phosphorus, and 0,39 of amorphous carbon. Its weight i*- 120 pounds. Mu<.h larger stony meteorites aro known, including one of 25 tons. Tni* American Cereal —* Of maize or Indian corn in the United States, Mr. J. H. Patton says: "A brief comparison may give a partial view of the immenso value of this crop, which next to rice supplies food directly or indirectly to the largest number of the human race. Iu 1880 the corn-crop was 1,75*1,- 861,535 bushels. This was more than two and a half times the next greatest crop—tbe wheat. It had 707,647,119 bushels more than all our other crops of grain combined— tho wheat, tlie rye, tho barley, the oats, and the buckwheat. It is quite probable that this ratio of production, or nearly so, will continuo." The Congresses. — Affairs of human interest are likely to be pretty thoroughly discussed at the international congresses to be held in connection with the Paris Exhibition. A fow of these meetings, which will continue for periods ranging from four to sixteen days, are the following: Opening in July -—technical education, bibliography of the exaot sciences, chemistry, bulloning, pigeons; in August— hygiene, higher education, physiological psychology, geography, photography, criminal anthropology, primary education, horticulture, prehistoric man and remains, electricity; in September—chronometry, mines and metallurgy, applied mechanics, meteorology, river utilization, commerce and industry, hydrology and climatology. Diving in a Sand-Bank,—A Dutch engineer, W. H. Ter Meulen, has put in operation a novel plan for the recovery from beneath a submarine sand-deposit of gold and silver amounting to several million dollars. The war-ship Lutine, sunk in Dutch waters .in 1799, carried this treasure of which about half a million dollars has been recovered at different times. The uew apparatus for penetrating the sand covering the ship consists of a very strong hose seven inches in diameter, from tho lower end of which is suspended a heavy cast iron tube five feet long, with a copper rose, through which tho water, injected into a hose with a pressure up to 125 pounds to the square inch, radiates against tho bed of sand. The bank is rapidly disintegrated so that a well may he made to the Lutine through 2(1 feet of sand in nino minutes. Tho divers may thon descend, and work several hours, the upward current preventing the refilling of the well. A Zoological Link. —- The Natural History Museum of Paris has received specimens of tho African Mud Fish. (Protopherus annec- lens 0w.), which have excited the intorest of naturalists on account of being fishes with a double-breathing apparatus and double heart chambers, or a veritable link between the fishes and tho amphibia. This peculiar animal lives in tlio rivers of Central Africa, another species of tho genius being found in the tributaries of the Amazon, and still another in the swamps of South Australia. The African species is from fifteen to twenty inohes long, and iB most abundant in flooded swamps, feeding chietly on water- insects. It propels its eel-like body through the water by its tail, but as the swamp becomes dry it ceases to breathe with its gills und makes use of its lungs, becoming a dry land animal. Late discoveries show that tho creature makes the change by burrowing in the mud, when it becomes covered with a slimy secretion, whieh soon hardens into a shell or cocoon. Thus sealed, it may remain in a dry place four or five months, to reappear on return of water. TERRIBLE FLOODS In Pennsylvania in whieh Hundreds Lose their Lives ami Thousands arc Rendered Homeless.

WULiAMsrouT, Pa., May 31.—The biggest tluoil sinco tho memorable one of 18155 is now on its way down tlio west branch of the Suaquelumna Itiver. Advices from the north of hero indicate that much damage has been dono by high wator and what muy follow no one cares to predict. A -"rent vuluuie of water has fallen in this part of tho country iu the past few days and all the streams are bank full. Telegraphic, telephone and railway communications are vory seriously interfered with and numerous land slides aro reporled all along the Pennsylvauja road, north of here. At Oltnctield tho water is rising at the rate of U feet per hour. Half a dozen bridges wore swept away and Btreets of the town overflowed. People nre rowing about in boats. Booms at Caledonia and Conwoiuville havo broken nnd it is feared that Lock- htiveu boom will break before morning. Lumbermen here fear that in the latter event the Williumsport will not aland tho strain and thnt 225,000,- 000 feet of lugs will be carried away in tho flood. Tho rivor is rising rapidly here and by morning it will probably bo 20 foot abovo low water mark. Beech Creek railroads hnvo already sustained losses that will aggregate $25,000. Pennsylvania railroad ofliciuls in PittBburg Btate that thoy havo advices that over 200 dead bodies havo been counted floating down stream at Johnstown alone, while all along the line many additional lives have beon lost. Johnstown is described as wholly submerged, unly two houses boing entirely above water lino. A Bpocial train has left Pittsburg with Pennsylvania railroad ofliciuls, newspaper men and telegraph operators on board, Telegraph oificcB will bo opened at the neurest available point to Johnstown. AGreensburg, Pa,, special to Pittsburg says reports from Johnstown are to the effect thnt hundreds of lives have been lost and houses carried away bodily. People fortunate enough to escape are fleeing to tho mountains. Eighty-live persons wore seen floating past a point near New Florence clinging too drift-wood. All buildings along tlio Ccvemau<rh between New Florence and Johnstown have been carried away. Railroad towers have been abandoned by telegraph operators. Covetown and New Florence bridgcB have been destroyed. It ia stated that the roofs of only two houses in Johnstown aro visible above water. THE PENNSYLVANIA FLOODS. Pittsburo, May 31.—A telegraph oporator in the Pennsylvania Railway signal tower at Shanghullow, 12 miles below Johnstown, lays thnt about 75 dead biuliea havo flouted past him down the river from Johnstown. It is Btated that tho reservoir abovo Johnstown broke about 5 p. in. and deluged the town, speeping away hoines by scores and drowning probably hundreds of peoplo. Wires aro down und no communication can be had with Johnstown to-night. No trains nre running east of BUirsville, 25 miles west of Johnstown, and there will bo tio.to through to the east before tomorrow. LAUGHED AT WARNINGS, New Florence, Pa., Juno 1.—Jno. McCartney, who lives in Johnstown, reached here this morning. Ho left Johnstown yesterday at 4:30 imd says the scene waa indescribable. Tho people had been warned early in tho morning to move to the high luini.-, but did not heed tho warning, althoitgli repeated a number of times, up to 1 o'elook, when the water poured into the streets several feet deep. Then the houses began rocking to and fro, and finally tho force of the ourrunt carried buildings across the streets into vacant lots, and dashed them against each other, breaking them into fragments. These buildings were freighted with poor wretches who so shortly laughed ut tho cry of danger. McCartney Bays in some cases ho counted 15 persons clinging tu building-i. It was impossible to got tu Johnstown primer, t-idiiy, in any manner except by bun', and the only hope is to net within nbout three miles of J'-hnstntvii by special train ur by hand cur. Tho banks on both sidos ef thu river nro crowded with anxious watchers, and with horrifying frequency thoir vigili aro rownrdod by the discovery of n dead body. TERKIllLE FLOODS IS PBNSLYVANIA, Johnston, Juno 1.—Tho waters wliich overflowed thia town yesterday, e-imiir* death to hundreds and misery to thousand.-, are subsiding rapidly,' but ns yet it U impossible to obtain anything like exact information concerning the extent uf tho distress. It is no exaggeration to say there are mourners in every family. Thou* lands are missing. It ii certain thnt hundreds have been lost, while many of those who are now missing and "mourned as dead have doubtleBS been lived from final death. ROASTED IN THE FLOOD, The report has just reached here that at least 100 people wero consumed in the flamea at Johnstown last night. Ruins of houses, outbuildings and other structures were swept against tho railroad bridge at Johnatown, and from an overturned stove or some such cause the upper part of the wreckage caught Are. There were crowds of men, women and children ou the wreck, and their screams soon addod to the awful chorus of horrors. They were literally roasted in tho flood. It is impossible to describe briefly the suddenness with which the disaster camo. A warning Bound was heard at Covemaugh a few minutes before the rush of waters camo, but it was attributed to tome meteorological disturbance; as tho low rumbling noise increased in volume, however, and camo nearer, suspicion of danger began to force itself even upon the bravest, which was increased to certainty a few minutes later, when, with a rush, the mighty stream spread out in width and then there was no timo to do anything to Bave themselves. Mnny of tho unfortunates were whirled iuto the midst of the stream before they could turn around. Ab Johnstown similar scenes wore enacted, only on a much larger scale. ANOTHER ALASKAN i'lC-NIC. New York, June 1.—Judge John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, has been invited to become a member of General Alger's party, to start for Alaska on the 20th of June. He hns concluded to accept.

Consequently it is with pleasure that I listen to a representative from the better class of our people, a man who did not leave for his country's good and is not afraid to return." A DISASTROUS FIRE.

Reid, of the Parnell counsel, itated that au enquiry had resulted in the finding nf thirty books belonging to the national league and whioh would be produced in court. Mr. Lockwcod, one of the Parnellite counsel, produced a pass book, apparently belonging to Mr. Justin McCarthy, which dited from November, 1880, t» May 3887, which eoulaiHed an entry of a check for £100 to Frank Byrne, the dynamiter, Mr. McCarthy informed the court that the pass book did not belong to him, that it never waa in hia possession and that he did know that the book existed. Mr. George Lewis, tho solictor for the Parnellites, testified before the Parnell commission to-day. He was questioned about the missing books of the land league but disclaimed all knowledge of any league books except those of the English branch which had been produced tn court. He had applied for a return of tho cancelled cheques or bank pnss books. He had not in* quired what becamo of the leaguo'i letters nor taken any steps to trace the payments that were made by the league. Mr. Judge Hannen stated that it was not permissible for either to select books to be put in evidence. All of the books must be produced or none at all. A POOR KING. San Francisco, May 30.—The latest advices from Honolulu announced that King Kalakua was contemplating a trip to Europe for the purpose of visiting the Paris Exposition. It is, however, learned from good authority that His Majesty licks the necessary fundi to carry out his intentions. An agent is now in the city negotiating a loan of 910,000. SNOW IN THE STATES. Chicaoo, May 30.—It is reported from northern Michigan to-night that a heavy snow storm prevailed in that region to-day. At Howard City the snow fell heavily for an hour or more and at other points along the line of the road there was an inch of snow ou the ground. At Grand Rapids a heavy rain fall changed to snow during the afternoon. At Tuesola, 111., where it had been extremely cold for three days, snow fell this morning and iee formed later in the day. Heavy rains have fallen for 60 hours in Central Illinois. At Galena there* was a dam* aging frost lust .light, blighting the fields of corn and blasting tlie fruit trees. At Bamboo, Wis., a hard frost prevailed this morning, entirely ruin* ing the corn and grape erops. Vegetables were cut down. Ice formed oue eighth of an inch in thickness at Winnimay, Ind., and a snow storm prevailed all the afternoon. There will be much damage done by the floods. STARTED BY SOCIALIST. Berlin, May 29.—Evidence is accumulating to fix the responsibility upon socialist agitators for the strikes among the Westphalia minen. The police at Dortmund to-day made a raid upon the houses of the leaders of the striking workmen and seized, to* gather with a considerable mm of money, many letters and papors emanating from socialist sources and clearly establishing the close connections between the striken and the socialistic propaganda. Tbey also arrested the editor of the Westphalia People's Gazette, a socialist organ, who ia charged with having instigated the strikes.

S. senato committeo on trado relations with Canada held a session at Seattle on Wednesday last. Among other things which the venerable inquisitors ascertained, was that the Scattleites looked upon the O.P.R. as their only salvation from the oppressive rates and general diBobligement of the Northern Paoific, Before the Canadian rood was finished the merchants of the queen city of the Sound Imd, in the significant words of tho president of the Seattle board of trade, "to bog for accommodation in addition to paying for it." We are not much better off here with respect to the C.P.R., which now threatens to kill our fresh fish export trado by prohibitive express rates, not only to the serious damage of thoso engaged in the business, but to the loss and deprivation of the eastern consumer as well, who will be obliged to smack his lips in vain for the delicious fish of the Pacific province. If Seattle looks upon the O.P.R. a** a benefactor, no less will we. hail the advent of a competing American road to check the extortionate tendencies of the O.P.R. nt homo, which is not so amiable and accommodating with us as with our cousins. The O.P.R. is neither better nor worse than any other road so far as taking advantage of the carrying monopoly which it possesses. Competition is the only salvation for any community from the oppressive propensities of railway monopolies. The subject of corporal punishment for criminals was discussed at - We are' glad that tbe provincial secretary and the government have recognized the importance of the Scott road and connecting roads through Surrey to the boundary, and have decided to put theso roads in a thorough state of repair this season, and commence the work without delay. As our readers are aware, we have repeatedly culled attention to the importance of Uio Scott road and connecting roads -constituting the stage and mail routo through the districts south of tho river to the boundary—nnd to tho crying necessity of placing and maintaining this much travelled thoroughfare in a passable condition. In consequence of Southern Railway operations, the increase of settlers, and the general development which tho country between this city and the international boundary is experiencing, travel by stage and otherwise over tho route in question is constantly and rapidly increasing, nnd tho inconvenience and hardship would bu groat if theso roads wore to bo allowed to remain in their present and deteriorating condition. Formerly i1; has appeared to bo nobody's buslines, t'-tween tho government and tbo municipalities, to keep this very important line of travel in proper repair, and wo must commend the provincial secretary and the government, if thoy have been a little tardy, for recognizing the urgency and the importance of the matter and deciding to put the thoroughfare in question in a perfect state of repair without more delay. For about two weeks now tho Mud Bay postoffiee has been abolished, only temporarily, it is hoped. Mr. Woodward, who hns been post- raastmaster for yenrs, has relinquished tho position, and no one has yet been appointed to take his place. ln the meantime the Mud Bay mail is conveyed to Elgin, where, considerably lo their inconvenience, those who liavo bfeu heretofore served by the Mud Bny postoflice have to repair for their mails. From what we can learn, it would appear to be difficult to got anyone conveniently located to the mail routo to act as postmaster since the resignation of Mr. Woodward, and the mail carrier is not paid for carrying tbo mail off of the main road. Thus we have an unfavorable combination of circumstances by which the public interests seem likely to suffer. It is earnestly hoped, however, that the postal authorities will seo to it that the Mad Bay postoffiee does not go by the board altogether owing to the slight difficulties which appear to threaten its continuance. This postoffiee, is, we believe, tho oldest established of any in the Surrey municipality, and serious inconvenience, we are told, would result from its abolishment. As a new and semi-weekly service is being inaugurated this month for the mail route whioh hns formerly served Mud Bay and Elgin with a weekly mail, the present would be a good time for making such arrangements as will insure Mud Bay tho regular seme-weekly service to which that important settlement will now be entitled. We hope that the postal authorities'will make this their business. It would be preposterous, on almost any consideration, to allow the Mud Bay postoffiee lo lapse, and we cannot believo thoro ia nny intention of doing so. some length recently in the British house of commons on a motion for the second reading of a bill relating thereto. Mr. Mil vain, the mover, stated thut ho proposed by his bill to consolidate tho law with regard to flogging and also to amend it. The measure did away with the Hogging of incorrigible rogues, and provided that juvenile offenders under the age of sixteen years might, in certain cases, bo whipped, but only with birch reels. The most important provisions, however, were those under which corporal punishment could be inflicted upon burglars who had made use of or been found armed with dangerous and offensive weapons, and upon prisoners convicted of revolting crimes. The necessity for this latter oxtension of the law especially, Mr, Mil vain said, had become very apparent to him during his experience upon the nortii eastern circuit in the lost three years. In that time tho average yearly number of charges of brutal offences against children alone in the district mentioned had been ninety, and about two-thirds of theso had resulted in convictions. Violent assaults upon women, too, had become alarmingly frequent, and many grand jurios throughout the country had brought in presentments in favor of Hogging as a punishment for offences of this class. After a good deal of discussion the second reading was carried by a vote of 194 to 126. The opponents of the bill wero led by Mr. Brndluugh, who took the ground that it was a step backward in the direction of brutalizing punishment. Other speakers on the same side maintained thut Hogging does not act as a deterrent, whilo some of them actually argued that it tends to oncourago the perpetration of tho various classes of offences for wliich it is prescribed us a punishment. It is possible that thero uiny be something in Mr. Bradlaugh's argument, so far as punishment by flogging for burglars who arm themselves with deadly weapons is concerned. Such men, however, are ruffians of the worst type, and it is difficult to see how they could be made more brutal than they are, In the case of thoso who commit revolting offences upon women and children there appears to be no room for argument al all. It is idle to talk of degrading by corporal punishment men of this stamp. The London Times, which thinks flogging not only justifiable but necessary in both classes of cases, snys; "When men are already sunk to or rather below tho level of the brute, flogging is about tbe only humanizing agency we havo at command. It is the most mischievous and ridiculous cant to talk about the risk of brutalizing a ruffian wbo enters our houses at dead of night with a jemmy in ono hand and a revolver in tho other; or tho wretch who perpetrates the abominable attacks upou defenceless women and children, which considerations of decency exclude from the law report. Flogging is a highly appropriate and elevating punish- ment for persons of that appalling depravity. It 13 idlo to appeal to sentiments which have no existence, or to apprehend a degradation which is already accomplished in all its fulness. They havo to be taught in the first place that the way of transj gressora is hard, and nothing bring3 that lesson homo so directly and forcibly as the lash. When the brute bus learnt thnt lesson the moral teacher hna something to work upon, but not before." It is not uncommon to have aggravated and brutal offences on tlie criminal calendars of our supremo courts, but one seldom or never hears of flogging being added to tho sentence of imprisonment. A change in this respect might be attended with wholesome results. NEW WESTMINSTER Real Estate and Financial Agency RICHARDS, HAYWOOD & MACKINTOSH, Conveyancers tt Notaries Public. 3P.

'■Let mc toll you one or two incideuts that huvo come under my observation to iilus- truto the effect of tho mind over the body. Ono of Lheso was very sad, tho other os- coedingly ludicrous. Somo timo ago thorp was a lady and gentleman oponding tbo winter horo in tho city. Just provlous to thoir coming hero thoy had lost thoir only children—a grown son and a grown daughter—in a shilling disastor at Bt. Louis, tho ico in tho river having brokon uud tho eonplo having boon drowned beforo a3siat- nuco could reach them. Well, of course, this was a groat blow to tho fond parents. Thoy were almost ovorcomo with grief at the aad ovout, and the rosult of it waa—as it i3 in every case of tho kind—thoy clung to each other with. a lovo and affection thoy had uovcr known boforo. These people camo to Indianapolis to spond tho winter after this troublo, and whilo horo tho husband was taken with typhoid fevor, and in opito of all that could bo dono for him ho died. Soveral days boforo bis death it was known that lio could not recover, and ho and his wifo talked over tho futuro with tho samo compo3uro that other persons would talk ovor a brief separation. Sho hardly abed a tear, seeming utterly rosigned to what was coming. As I said, tbo man died lii.-i funeral was hold, and his wifo sat bv his coHiu without tho slightest show of grief. Bpcctators wore astonished. Undor tho circumstances tboy looked for hor to bo completely prostrated. After tlio funeral she Btvid to mo that sho would soon follow, that it was only a temporary separation. Well, sir, that woman lost ber appetite, refused to oat, grow weaker, and in ono wook from her husband's funeral hers was hold iu the samo room." uHowdoyou account for this; was there no ail merit of any kind?" "'Koiiout all. Hor whole mind and soul woro centered on tho ono thing until tho thought absolutely withdrew from all power from tho body to discharge its functions and the result was sho diod—a real caso of what has boon poetically described as doath from a broken heart." ■ ■ What of the othor caso?" " It was very different from this, yet it illuotratea tho power of tko mind ovor the body no loss forcibly. Somo timo ago a very intellectual and highly-accomplished young \aCfj horo in the city holding u pin in her mouth, swallowed It, or, as sho thought, swallowed it. Tho thought of what sho had done, tho very Idea of that pin boing in hor stomach, throw her instantly into tho most vloiont spasms and convulsions. I was summoned to soo her, and found her in a vory criticul condition, cold sweat all ovor hor body, convulsion following convulsion, and altogether iu an alarming situation to ber frionds. Here's tho funuy circumstances: The young lady woro false teoth, and in one of her convulsions throw thom out on tho floor, and tho pin, which hnd all the time boon sticking up behind the plate, foil down with thorn. Every body, of course, roared with laughter, and tho young lady was woll as quickly as sho had been taken ill." UNSUBSTANTIAL SOLES. Cobbling Thnt Wus Clood Enough for u Corpso, Uut Not for a Llvo Drummer. Two traveling raou recently stopped at thoTifft House, says tho Buffalo Courier, One of them hud on a pair of boots very much worn through tho oolos, and ho thought ho would got thom mended here, for lio was going to Tonawanda tho noxt dny to call on » merchant und bo wished to bo well dressed, Ho had only tbe one pair of boots and hia friend agreed to take thom to u cobbler whilo ho romnincd in his room initilUioy woro patched. Tho friend found a cobbler and told him bo must havo tbo boots that evening. Tho cobbler said ho could not mend them so soou. "Oh, but thia is a caso of necessity, tbo man i3 dead and wo want to put u decent pair of boots on him. Wu'vo get to tako tho body out of town." Tho cobbler finally promised to hnvo tho boots done, and bad thom ready when Uio druniraci* called in tbo evening. Hb friend slept pca'.-efnlly nnd tho next morcln-jjiuton thb mended boots feeling that ho could look t!rj wholo world lu tho faco. It was quito n wall: from tbo railway station nt Tounwanuit to the b-iloo-'or-tliu; merchant ho sought, and bo h*ul i.otgono hnli tho distance whoa to hia usi Duislunont and iVraih oho pf tbo now solos anno loose aud flopped about in a most dilapidated manner. The gentleman sat down by the rond* aido and found that tho rascally cobbler had just pegged a strip of leather over tlio old sole. He hammered it on with a stono as best bo could and shuffled slowly on. He transacted hia business with tho merchant and bad to walk all through tbo works with him, during which tho othor solo came loose, but bo managed to conceal tho troublo until bo got away, whon ho hammered tho boots together again as best ho could and returned to Buffalo. Ho showed tho boots to*hia friend aud usked if that was tho way in which the Buffalo cobblers usually did their work. His friend was as indignant 113 ho was, and, tailing tho boots, rushed round to tbo luckless cobbler, shook tbourticlosin his face, and asked what ho meant by palming off sueh work on peoplo. "Why," said tho disciplo of St. Crispin. "I told you I couldn't inond tho boots in so short n'timo as you gave mo, and besides, you said tbe hoots were for a doad mau, and I thought that a bound solo was unnecessary. What sort of a dead man was itr1 ho asked, ina grieved manner, "that would wear out a pair of boots walking arouud In thom? HomuBtbo awfully lively for a doad man. If he'd laid still, as any respectable dead man should, tho boots would liavo nover brokon," and with this explanation tho traveling man had to bo content. I ! SNAKES IN PIECES. A Serpent That Joined Itsolf Togothor After Ilotng Cot In Two. Persons who novor saw a joint snako oro naturally incredulous us to tho fact .of their existence. Tho observation of tho writer r.nd tho killing of four or livo of tho "critters" in hiB life has removed ull doubts, bo far as ho Ib concerned, says tho Corinth iMIsb.) Herald. Tho only opon question remaining Is: Do tbo disjointed guakos unite tho pieces and livo again! Thla la by many persons nssortcd, and yot by an many disputed. The "uniting is just as reasonable H-* tho disjointing. It Is tho tall, which coi'tttitutes ubout two-thirds of the animal, and not tho body proper that Uii joints. An old darkey whom \\o interviewed suid: " 1 knows tboy gets together again, for I hilled tho tail of ouo, left in littlo short pieces; tho hood got away, and wbon I got back to tho place tho head had gathered all tho pieces togothor and gono off." John P-Mui'son-a vory Intelligent colored man, testified more directly to the point. He nniil: " I know thoy got together again.

A deputation of tlio congregation stepped forward, and, aftor convoying their expressions of kind regard, presented the pastor with a handsome purse of motiuy.

In reply to it question by Senator Hoar, Picken. who professed to bo well informed on the subject, told the aenatorB that "The Nanaimo minea havo never boen conducted tit a profit, and that the Wellington mines, which wero good ones while they lasted, aro located in a basin which ia now about worked out." For the inforinocion of Mr. Picken, it may be stated that the supply of coal ut the Wellington mines is practically inexhaustible, and there is sufficient in sight to last the next hundred years at the rate it ia now mined. —Cobnut.

Jones, district; pay mar iter, is staying at tho Oolonial. Tlio Clara Port Sunk. The steamer Clara Port met with an acc'idont in Boundary Bay, yesterday, by whicli she now lies beneath the surface of thoso placid waters. She waa employed in towing a boom of loga from Boundary Bay to the Fraser Itiver. The tide commenced to fall before a start was mado from the bay, and only a short distance bad been made when tlie steamer ran full tilt against a sand hank, whoro she stuck fast, end-all efforts to back her off proved unavailing. As iho tido receded furthor tho Clar.. Port careened over until she lay on her aide with her hold full of wator. Mr. Gilley hastened to .WestminBter and procured the services of the tug Clara Young, and with her left for the scene of the accident. As the hull bus snffurod no dumngo it is thought that little trouble will bo observed in dinting tho Bteamer again, aud it is probable she will bo towed into port tonight safe and sound. This is the second -icoidont of the kind the Clara Port has met with. The inspection of No. 1 battery B. V. B. G. A. and the Westminster Rifles took place on tlie cricket grounds this afternoon. For some months both corps have been steadily preparing for this event, but tho nun-arrival of the new uniforms for tho rifles until a few wcekf ago, told heavily against that corps, as it waa impossible to got the mon to turn out in plain clothes. Thoro is not much enchantment about military parade when not accompanied by tho handsotno uniforms. Both corps mustered at the drill shod nt 1 o'clock, and shortly before two, headed by the fine band of the rifloB, marched to the inspection ground where a number of movements wero goiio through whilo awaiting the arrival of tho inspectina officer. The day was very warm, but, fortunately a lino cool breeze was blowing, which tempered to a considerable degree the heat of the sun. The attendance of thu general public wus very large, and the ladies, iu particular, turned uut unusually well. Notwithstanding tlie heat and other discomforts thoy watched tho proceedings throughout with great interest. A few minutes beforo 3 o'clock the troops were drawn up in lino at open order ready to salute. The artillery, under the command of Lieutenant Mowat, turned out35 men- while tho riiies, undor Captain Seoul- lav, Lieutenant Glover and Lieutenant Cotton, mustered !J8 men. Standing in line the men looked evory inch like soldiers, a credit to the service and an honor to tho city. Tho dark blue tunics, white belts and bearskins of the artillery gave thorn a votoran-liko appearance, and thoy looked tit for anything. The rides in their dark green uniform, busbies and leggings, presented a smart appearance. Tho excellent physique of both corps was particularly noticeable, and favorably commented upon by tho spectators. Sharp at 3 o'clock Major Peters, accompanied by Capt. Jones, arrived, and was received with a general salute. Tho inspecting officer then passed down the ranks and inspected the arms and accoutrements. The march past, in column und quarter column, followed, which was porfortnod in good stylo. Tho companies wero thon put through various movements, nfter/ which the artillery woro marched down to tho OrcEcant battery. The rifles gavo au exhibition in skirmishing and this closed tho cricket field part of tlio programme.

Mr. Ewen has littlo to say as to the real object of his visit east, but it is conjectured that the results were not unsatisfactory. Mr. Ewen brings the good nowa that our member, Mr. Chisholm, is rapidly gaining his health again, nnd has ao far recovered as to be able to attack busumss almost with his old timo vigor. The doctors have ordered Mr. Chisholm, aa soon as he is in condition to travel, to go to the mountains and Bpend the sunnnor, whoro tho light nir of the higher altitudes ia expected to prove vory beneficial. It is probable Mr. Chisholm will Grst go to Calgary and from there to Banff. Juat when ho may bo expected home to Westminster is not known yot, but the general wish is expressed that before tho summer months are gono be will be back iiifain perfectly restored in health. Mips Chisholm, who has boen a moat careful and loving nurse through Mr. Clmh'.lm'a long illness, has boen called to Nova Scotia to attend her mother's funeral, and on her return to Ottawa both will leave for tho west.

Tie suicide was accidental, but even the knowledge of this fact does not alloy tho genoral feeling of sorrow, Tho facts of tho accident are as follows; Mr, Urcn, tho photographer, had a vory fino dog, even tempered, intelligent and thoroughly subservient to its master's will. This dog was kept for convenience sake on the second atory verandah of Mr. Uren's establishment, where it waa usually chained to ono of the poatB to prevent i t from finding an exit to the Btreets through ono of tho numerous open windows, At a late honr last night tho dog concluded to have a run down town anyway, and either forgetting that a strong chain was attached to tho collar, or trusting to its superior strength to breake tho attachment, it jumped boldly from the gallery into space. The chain and collar proved very strong, too strong for the poor animal, to break notwithstanding its superior canine efforts, and the result was that the dog wbb strangled. No onu was near when the accident happened and the cries of the animal wero unheard and it died in great agony. No inqucst was considered necessary.

He is at present at the Driard, hut as soon ub arrangements can be made will take up his residence here with hiB family who liave accompanied him. To a Colonist representative, Mr. Breretun stated that he still believed tbat this province afforded the best inducements to Crofter immigrants. Thoso who had located on the plains eaat of the mountains were succeeding, but the nature •of the country was altogether different from that to which they had been ao* customed. Queen Charlotte islands, ho thought, was tho moat desirable ■place for them to locate, for they would then have the advantage of the great fishing banks in the waters adjacent. Ho also believed the west coast of Vancouver island was suitable for Crofter settlement. Frotn what lie could learn the fishing fields nf the Pacific were equal to, if hoc superior, to those of the Atlantic, and whon tho -value of this Pacific coust country was understood in Great Britain, there could bo no doubt that a large immigration to its shores would result. At present British Columbia was little known in the old world, and in fact, the residents of the province* were but slightly acquainted with it outside ot the settlements. Mr. Brereton further eaid that there would be no Crofter immigration this year, but iu 1800 a numbor of Crofters would be located in British Columbia, aud if thoy pros- ficred, a large contingent would follow ftter,—Colonist. ll. *'. .lockey Clult. The British Columbia Jockey Club held a meeting last night. The attendance was good and considerable business w&B transacted. The object of the meeting was to consider the rules and regulations which have been prepared by the committee appointed for that purpose. W. H. Ladner, M. P. P., acted as chairman, and W. Seitz as secretary. The secretary's report relating to the formation of the society having been read and adopted, and a Blight discussion having taken place on the rules, it was moved and seconded that the regulations as submitted be adopted, subject to completion amendment by the committee to be appointed later on. Sonie little discussion then took plaoe anent the appointment of the president of the club. Mr. Orr, M, P. P., desired to see Lieut.-Gov* crnur Nelson in that honorary position.
