San Francisco, Feb, 10.—The s-r. ■ Mariposa arrived from Sydney nud persona short of food in mid-ocean | Samoa thU morning. J. C. Klein, the correspondent whom the Qerimiti.i ao* euse of leadi 11« Ihe attack on their auilors and marine on Dec. 17'h, was among the passengers, having left Samoa because of the aimnuiiCQmciit that the flermani intended to nrtTst him. The following i-i the history of events at Snmon since .Ti.n.i.iry 3rd, on which date four hmrired fullowera of TantABCte deserted for Malietoa. On the morning itHioOili lhe residence of the German consuluto ami Btore houses wero burned, entailing a loss of 8100,000. At first the German consul swore tne Americans mul English were responsible for the casualty, but it was finally proved tho Hre wrf. accidental. On the 14th several of Tama* sese's can-x-s wore observed going to the German warship Adlor, which was getting up stenm, und Capt. Mullan, of the U. S. ship Nipsic, inquired what the preparations were for, but did not obtain an answer. Next dny it waB ascertained that Tamasese hud intended making a descent on Apia that night and the boats Imd cunte down to notify the German ul.ii.s to be ready forthe ■ (tack. Thoy learned, howover, thut Matuafu waa roady ior them and remained away. A few days later a beat belonging to Capt. Hamilton, the American whose property was destroyed in the bombardment (>f one of Mataufu'u- villages, wns seized by the German* but shortly released, flu- Ui-iman consul on Jan. 19th i.s'-i-'I a [i.-.'clniiniiu , of win- and declared Sumdtt under martial law. Several vessels on arriving wero not allowed to land iheir cargoes until they had been examined by the Germans for contraband of war. The dny following the proclamation theliritith consul ordered British subject-" to pay no attention to it, althor.gh the pmo- clamation stated citizens of all nations on the ialand wero under martial law, and for any offei.ee aS-tiii-it tho slated regulations .rouhl l.o liable to prose* cut ion by court martial. On the samo day Klein, the correspondent, received information the Germans were about to place him under arrest and take him on board one of their men-of-war, there to b_» sentenced to deportation, nnd perhnps death, by court martini, his chief offence being his alleged leading of Mataafa's troops against llie Germans. Klein thereupon conferred with tho American consul, Blakelock, and Capt. Million, who advised hiin to go on board Iho Nipsic or he might bo seized and oould not be released without protracted diplomatic negotiations. Klein, finding himself watched by German officers, left his house at a late hour on Ihe night of the 21st, ran the gauntlet of tho German guard nnd escaped to the Nipsic. That same dny the German guard boarded the British steamer Ulchraond nnd nrrested an English tourist named, Gillan. as a spy for interviewing Mataafa aad making sketches. The commander of the British warship Royalist notified ihe Adler's commander that if Gillan .we not released forthwith he would lie taken by 'force. The Roynlnt was immediately cleared for action, but the Germans gave Cillan up. The 24th was tho day for another proulamaUpn by the GermiuiB, This wot. to tho effect that citizens of a'l nationalities would be searched for arm-.. Capt. Mullan, of tho Nipsic, wr.

The German consul on the 31st mado an urgent request for an in- cerview with Mntnafa in the interest of ponce, but failed to meet the king up to Feb. 1st, the d>.y tho Mariposa left Samoa.

Sir John evaded replying by retiring from the ohamber. might support life indefinitely if prouitlcd with appliances for capturing tbe small marine fauna which is very abundant in tbe Atlantic, and probably in nil temperate and warm marine waters. A wcll-poli-thcd glass rati, rrndored luminous throughout its length by a small eleotrio liibip'iit ono ond, is used by two Vic-mia physicians for illuminating from Iho oufcido some of tho cavities of tho body, suJi aa tho larynx and tbe nose. Placed against the skin 0: the throat it lights up the interior of tlio larynx sufficiently for surgical operations. Birth of New Plant Species.— Tlio plants recently collected from Christmas Island by the English Admiralty prove to be closely allied to those of Java. Yet their insulation has had tho effect of making them mostly unlike their .lava congeners, though not sufficiently different to be specifically distinguished In this gradual alteration Sir. W. T, TJiiscltou Dyer sees "a manifest case of nascent species/' r.EET-SucAii h Europe. — The first beet-isbgrirfactory v-a, .'stiblish- cd in T.'.iwo!'s;!i-~.i;i)near the close of lust century, but wa.1. lUisuocessful. What was culled tho ti'ilo method of rxtratting beet sugar was laboriously developed about tho beginning of this century, but such improvements havo sinco been mado that forty per cent less beet is now required to produco a given quantity of sugar than in 183)3. G.-imuny, tbe chief producer, now has 401 factories, with 3000,000 acres under beet cultivation, uud turns out about a million tons of beet-sugar yearly. France and Austria-Hungary produce about half a million tons each, Russia and Poland about 350,000 tons, and Belguim 90,000 tons. The Electric Blowpipe The ordinary methods of electrio welding by passing the current through the points to be fused together are not convenient for all purposes, and Prof Samuol Sheldon, of Harvard University, suggests what he believes would be better for many cases. The pole of a powerful magnet strongly attracts or repels the electrio arc, which may by this means be driven out sideways into a point very similar to the point of ilamo projected from an ordinary blowpipe. At the end of this point tho heat is intense, being sufficient to melt large copper wiro instantly and to fuse any pf tho metals. It would serve admirably for welding, and a slight alter atiou would fit any arc lump to perforin tho double function of lighting and welding. Oun Commonest Plants. — Grosses, as Dr. H. Triiium states, are tho most universally dift'ured over the globe of nil (lowoiiiir; plants, there beins no district in whioh they do tiott-;iir, while in nearly all 1 hoy tivou leading ai 1 -luminant [feature of tbe lioiu. Two other qraers—-Gompdtritatllihd Leguminosae —contain a greater number of species than the Gramineao, but nOne has so many individual -plants. The gpeoies of grasses probably number about 6000, and they form .about onetw.-iitie-hoi' the flowering plants ns a whole, though in almost any given locnlitv tliis proportion is largely exceeded. Tho actual pro portion of species of grasses 10 tho whole llower bearing flora in different countries is found to vary from about oneiourth in tlio Arctic regions to about one-twenty -fifth at tho Cape of Good Hope. It is about one-twelfth in the l.ritish Isles nud in tho United States, increasing to one eighth in tho southern part of the latter. Life Man Cannot See. — Not only 1110 the ultimate divisions of matter vastly beyond man's powers of assisted vision, but even living animals nre known of suoh smallness that the most powerful microscopes fail to reveal them. According to Dr, Royston-Pigott, the bacilli (rod- shaped bacteria) of typhoid fever are filaments only 1-000 of an inch long and 1-125*000 of nn inch thick. Such genus are gigantic, however, in comparison with some of the micrococci (spherical bacteria) seen in. putrid moat inllusions. These aro usually from 1-25,000 to 1-30,- 000 of an inch in thickness, and are sometimes inconceivably more minute. The smallest of the micrococci are discoverable in decomposing cod's head, the organisms on bursting from their parental sac being utterly too small to be recognized by any instrument. It is estimated that at birth they must measure considerably less than one millionth of an inch, and they can only be discovered aftor some hours of growth. Yet when first visible their forms comprehend the special apparatus of their fuller organized life. Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla GtlKAT FIRE RACING.

Measrs. Prior, Barnard, Gordon, Chiaholm, Mara, Senator Reid, ami Senator McDonald, saw Sir John Macdonald to-day, nud asked him to seo that the new line of Pacific steamers calls at Victoria, both on the outward ard inward voyuges. The premier replied that tho Dominion government in thia matter was in the hnnds of the Imperial government. Sir Arthur Blackwood, tho secretary of the English pustofilee, had already declared that tho delay necessitated by calling at Victoria would be too great. Mr. GoBchcn at first opposed granting au Imperial subsidy, but finally yielded after pressure by the admiralty on condition that the Dominion subsidised n fast lino of Atlantic stenmern, the object being to secure the trnnait through Canadian territory of us muoh through business as possible. Tho house was in supply all day considering (he appropriation, for the marine, interior and privy council departments. Hon. Peter Mitchell assailed the government for its fishery policy, and warned Sir John of the dangera of impending retaliatory legislation by tho United States. Sirt Aichnrd Cartwright received a dressing down from tho minister jf marine nnd fisheries. Sir John Macdonald announced that the mounted police canteen kept at Regina by a civilian has been transferred to the control of tho police -quartermaster. The canteen question ia a source of controversy in lhe Northwest, several newspapers there having declared it to be mismanaged. ARMKD TO THE TEETH.

CORRESPONDENCE. "Daily Marinas !■ sea-sola." EniTOR Columbian.—As this is a question which interests every man, woman and child In the country (except tbe Chinese and a few old bachelors and maid b), I hope you will pardon mo for desiring to ventilate tho subject in your paper. First, the teachers institutes of Victoria, Vancouver, Nanaimo and New Weatmlnater districts have condemned the nye* tern. The text-book authorized by the government for the use of tho teachers of tlio province condemns it in these strong terms: Halwin, page 340, "Tcnchfng vs. Marking. (1) Marking machines belong to a paat age, Few schools can now benr the incubus of daily marking. (2). Daily marking exerts a baleful intlnence. Pupils are stimulated to study to recite rather than to know. (.1). The business of the teacher Is teaching, not marking. Daily marking wastes much of his energy. No marking Is better than daily marking. {4). Marking must never interfere with teaching." Again, page 277: ''Studying to recite is one of the greatest evils connected with school life, iu many schools the pupils who study to know are the exceptions. The lesson is recited glibly to-days but forgotten to-morrow. Good marks are secured; but the child ia not educated." Again, page ,'VJi): "l*..ily marking is a relic of the old education, nnd is an Incubus and a mistake. Un* philosophical, it tends to mislead teacher and pupil. It wastes precious time and gives no equivalent. As n rule, pupils should not be marked ofteucr than once in two weeks." In n letter of the superintendent of educntion to the IVnnniino teachers' institute, thiw acntenco occuis: "'As dally markiuc has been made compulsory hy legislative c_inctmcut, we have no alternative but to obey; hence tbe only instructions required arc that the demands of statute must be strictly com- filed with." You will observe that Mr. ope includes himself with the teachors. What doeB the text-book any, page 193? "Teachers have rights; to insist 011 these is noble, A truckling, cowardly sycophant is not fit to be a teacher. The teacher lias the absolute control of the Internal workings of tho school.

I*H». A correspondent from Vancouver hits a letter in this number of The Colombian Iti which lie denounces the "daily marking system" in voguo in the public schools. We do not profess to know nil about overy thing, hulrwq aro perfectly cognisant of the fact thnt there are defects and weaknesses in our present educational system. Some of these wo hnve pointed out before, nnd the ono which our correspondent eulls attention lo—"daily marking"—is shown in his letter, pretty conclusively, we think, to be a nuisance to the teacher and an injury to the scholar. Mr. Muir, wo understand, is a teacher himself, aud ought to know whereof he speaks. There is certainly too much "stuffing" in schools and too much teaching nnd learning for show, instead of for sound and permanent knowledge. Our correspondent shows that legislative enactment is necessary in order to reliuve the schools of the incubus of "daily marking." Can our legislators show cause why tho enactment shouldn't enact? Considerable agitation is going on ut present against Sunday newspapers. Tho feeling against them is not confined to any one section or country, but is widespread. We believo we aro sufe in saying that out of the three great English speaking countries, the United States is the only place where Sunday papers are received with favor, we might say tolerated. British Colunbin, us the only place in the Doiiiinion,inust, howover, be excepted, us there are two daily papers tbat issue Sunday editions nt present—the Colonist, of Victoria, nnd the /Jews-Advertiser, of Vancouver. A few weeks ago our despatches contained tho announcement that a "daily newspaper to be issued on Sunday" bad been started in London, Eng,, "uiidor American aiutpices," Tbe. Pall Mall Gazette severely condemned the new enterprise, declaring the "introduction of the practice to bo a social crime of the lirst magnitude," and appealed to all journals and journalists to set their faces against it at tho very outset. Editor Stead, of the Gazette, wns not far oft' in his characterization of Sunday papers, and even in the United States there is arising a better sentiment against this form of needless Sabbath desecration which promises in time to work a reform. To come nearer home, however, the clergy of Vancouver have from tho first opposed the idea of a Sunday paper at the ' salt water terminus, and havo used their endeavors to bring about a reform in that respect. Rev. T. (J. Thomson, of the First Presbyterian church at Vancouver, has been preaching n series of sermons on Sabbath desecration, und dwelt last Sunday evening on tho evils of Sundny papers. Wc publish his remarks in another column as given in tho News of Wednesday. The Col onist of Friday takes Mr, Thomson to task for his "complete ignorance of the'subject he endeavored to discuss, or the lack of credibility in the 'good authority' he quoted." Continuing, the Colonist says: "There is but a few hours work on a Sunday morning paper, and that all before 7 u.m., whereas ou a Monday paper the staff is required to be at work as on other days, Mr, Thomson is willing that newspaper employes should work after nine on Sunday evening. Is the early morning moro sacred in his eyes than the evening, or in he simply inconsistent?" Neither, we cau answer for Mr, Thomson. In tho first place, the Colonixt's statement that, "on a Monday paper, the staff is required to be at work as on other days," is not true, A Monday morning paper can be issued by beginning work not earlier than. 9 o'clojk Sunday evening, or even nt midnight, and this has been demonstrated in actual practice. But supposing, for argument's sake, that as much Sunday work was necessary on a Monday as on a Sunday morning paper, which is not the case, the publio would be saved thfi demoralization and bad example of receiving and devouring a secular paper on Sunday morning, as on other days of the week, and '' would be butter served and suited besides, in avory respect, by a Monday ' morning paper instead. These two ■, are the real points; and it is really ; very difficult tn invent an excuse for \ the Sunday newspaper that will hold j water. regarded from the land eil' sea. He would have tho British const marked off into districts, each possessing a battery of the type of machine guns devised by that ingenious Yankee, Hiram Maxim, nnd the districts so connected by telegraph that 32 of these pepper-boxes could be assembled at short notico at a threatened point. It would not be necessary to have heavy guns on the coast line, be says, because, where the intent was invasion, men would have to bo landed in boats, and those he would open on us soon as in rnnge. He says that nt many points of tho coast ships could not come close in shore for tho rocks, a statement abundantly supported by ibe soundings, as given on the admiralty charts.; that it would require timo to launch and man tho boats, and still more to get them to the bench, thus affording timo to pre- pare tite defense. But let us suppose that the enemy, instead of obligingly making ready to fall into this cleverly constructed mouse trap, should select a bold portion of the coast for his enterprise, occupying himself during tho day hours with making things lively about the shore, nnd, nt short range, playing upon everything having the appearance of a battery, and when night came, ami under cover of a hot enfilading tire, embarking his expeditionary force in boats armed not only with machine guns; but us' Well with shields to protect thom from the fire of those in battery ashore. Captain Verner speaks of the American dynamite gun in high terms, and believes that, too, would prove useful on such occasions as those be would prepare for. Indeed, it would seem ns if ho might profitably mnke this bis main reliance should the enemy come up within a mile and a half of the shore, but in ease he did not, perhaps he could not put iu the day hours to better advantage than by telegraphing for torpedo boats and carefully measuring distances and finding ranges to make effective when night should set in, even if such preoccupation risked the completeness of the machine gun battery. Admiral Porter (Am cricun) and otber high authorities have recorded the opinion that the result of the coming navul war, let it be between powers whose relative forces hnve heretofore been well do fined, is likely to be uncertain, because of the introduction of war material of a novel description and the necessity for a complete change in tactics. Because of this change in oonditions and the lack of data gathered from the operations of actual war, it is not easy to suggest u theory of attack or defense which docs not contain n self-evident fallacy. One military authority tells us that shoro batteries, unless of the most powerful and elaborate description, cannot hopo to beat off big modern ships. Another explains th careful detail how that torpedoes in the channel ways and torpedo boats in tbe roads mny bo looked to to stop tho the advance of anything that can be floated. Both arrange tbe details of their plans under the most favoring conditions, and each seems plausible, perhaps conclusive, until the otber is examined. land Registry Ordinance, 1870 Children Cryfor Pitcher's Castoria BAPTIST CHURCH, Agnes Htreet, Kast of Mary Street, Lord-it Day Services at II a. m. and 7 n. in.

Haw a Gentleman Should Manipulate BU Vila Whan Heating Lady Acquaint- •neas—The Difference Between n Well-Bred Han and ft Boon A woman's role is to seem utterly oblivious of her bonnet after the parting look into the mirror establishes the pleasing truth that it ii -settled safely and becomingly, remarks a writer in Once a Week. The men who forgets what he has upon bis head is a boor, incorrigibly absent-minded. The right manipulation of bis hat is like spelling—it must be learned early and thoroughly, or it comes hard, and is always a skittish possession. A mother habitually Indulgent to her children, called her eldest born—a boy of ten—back wDen he had left ber on a street corner. The lad cowered under the severity of eye and accent "Never dare leave me in the streets again without raising your hat 1" she said. ''Itls a token of respect you owe to every woman, and never forget that your mother Is a woman 1" The reproof was doubled-barbed. Association with mothers and sisters is excellent practice in an exercise that can not be y abated without Injury to him who takes the liberty, "The fellow who nods a cavalier welcome or farewell to bis sister at the .. window, or in tbe atreet, will, with the f most gallant Intentions, some day, in a At of abstraction, or when hurried by business into forgetfulness of his company manners, nod as carelessly to some other fellow's slater, and score a point In favor of the rival whose hand, from tho force of early, habit and long usage, moves Involuntarily toward the cop brim at the approach of any woman whose face is familiar io him. A nod Ib not a bow. To nod to a woman is open disrespect. The mother who carves the two sentences and the import thereof upon the mind of ber boy builds so much better than she knows as to merit tho gratitude of her sex. The bob or duck of tbe covered head which salutes a comrade of his gender is barely pardonable, even in America. Students in foreign universities would be sent to Coventry wero they to practice it on meetingiu corridor or thoroughfare. Equally general in tho older lands, where external courtesies rank higher than with us, Is the custom of dufflnc. the hat on passing a lady, London, —stranger or acquaintance—on the staircase or iu the halls ot hotel or other public building. In witnessing tbe effect of the neglect of the gracious little ceremony in the country tbat furnishes the best hus, bands in the world it is important to restrain the regretful sigh: •Theso things ought ye to have done, and not leavo tlio other undone 1" Tbe undoing is carried to a disgraceful excess as we descend the social scale. The lower we go tho moro scanty is the observance of tho etiquette and moralities of the bat, until we are forced to consider the important adjunct to the out-door toilet as an almost infallible barometer of breeding. Respect ot the rules regulating its management in refined circles is tbe last sign of belter days and better manners with whioh the decayed gentleman parts. When his ' uind forgets the way tothe hat brim, he ii ■ very now the foot of the hill, What a slangy lad once called In my hearing "the nat trick" isllkewlse that which theielf- made man ot plebtan extraction is slowest (*o learn. I have seen millionaires forgetl ■ 'o remove their hats in superb drawing] •OOB-B. Ono of the most mortifying experiences i ■•! my earlier married life was tho visit to ■Hir country house of a distinguished man] ban whom the State held none abler of bis u-ofession. Wo had invited several friends jo meet blm, and the dinner given in his 1 tonor passed off smoothly. The lion roared ii a perfectly satisfactory manner, winning -iniversal admiration. Coffee was served ni the veranda, and tbe evening betngcool, '•bo great man called for his hat. Uej •night have asked permisslonirom the worn- . «i present to assume it, we thought, but, -".raters must preserve their vocal cords from j 1 uBt. As the chilliness increased, we ad* . .turned to tbo library, where a Are had been t .iudled. There, in the assembled presence ;>f our choicest neighbors, Vie great man ■ /ore his bat until the' hour of separation 1 l-,*he recollection is an agony. The Inference, borne out by subsequent discoveries, .vas inevitable. Be was a commoner ot the ■omn.ona.lty and vulgar ingrain. It ought o have been impossible for blm to commit .uoh a breach of good manners in any dr- li umstances. Tbe varnish of surface—audi ■ mnoemtomod-oourtesy, liko other cheap md putcnt dressing, requires frequent re* . ie wai and can not bo warranted to wear. As a grateful contrast, I offer another au-l hentio incident. A true gentleman, driving) < hrough the country with his wife and cliil- \rcu, stopped at small farm house to iu- ,ulre the way. A child on the front seat of | ho carriage bad a view of him as he knocked l'i tbe door. > "Papa's talking to a lady-," chirped the little one. "I can't see her, but I know be- 1.use he took off his hat when the door pened, imd is standing with his hat in his jand." " Tbe "lady" followed him to the steps as he . e turned to t*be carriage. Ber sleeves were V .lied up to hor shoulders; she wore a shabby ■ ilico go wu without a collar. Ber hair wu f nkempt, her arms and hands dripped with ;uds. Ber parting directions were shrilly asal and ungrammaticaL The man who ppeared beside her as a prinoe beside a erf, stood with bla noble bead bared as ln . royal presence. i, "Bow could you I" queried the quick-eyed '- -wupant of tbe front seat "Bhe wasn't a •it of a lady." , . "She was a woman, my boy; and a gen* •mum is always a gentleman for his own ake." "Hen can do no end of pretty things with eir bats," sighed a Mia to me. "Thetao- cs of tbat useful article (masculine) ere a . cience—one of tbe arts. Yet two-thirds of f.iom don't half appreciate their privileges' ia that Hue, or suspect their possibilities." . I saw a man who calls himself a gentle-! urn kiss his betrothed the other daj-, wltb [is hat set as immovably on his head as it it -ad grown there with hie growth and trengtbenod with bis strength I ;1 Fancy a condition of mind and body that] ould mako such a thing practicable in a christian land, and in the nineteenth cent- ANCIENT IRELAND. Woolen nnd Linen Fabrics and Metal Work In tbe Good Old Day: Poets and rhetoricians have in their usual free and easy way exaggerated the material prosperity of ancient Ireland, says Commissioner McCarthy in Harper's Mug-Bine. Much of tho splendor attributed to Celtic Kings and Bishops and hards fades under the cold light of historical research. But this very research has put beyond all doubt that beneath the exaggerations of rhetoric land song there lay a solid substratum of truth. Thus the publication by a parliamentary commission of tho immense aud previously almost unexplored mass of tonal institutes known as tho "Brehpn Laws" bos verified the fact that at a time whon Britons were almost naked savages the Irish Kelts were clod In woolens and linens of tholr own manufacture. The Brehou laws abound with references not only to woolen and linen goods, but to carding, weaving, dyeing and Iho other processes ot tbelr manufacture. Again, in tho remarkable metrical account of the rights of tlio monurclis of Ireland and the provincial Kings, attributed to a contemporary of Bt. Patrick, and known as the "Book of Rights," we find tbat tribute was paid to u large extent in eloaks, tunics, mantles and other articles of woolen nnd liuon manufacture, some white, somo brown, somo trimmed with purple, somo with fur, und somu witli prld. Wo can see for ourselves something of what was done in the mora durable materials. Textile fabrics, except of the coarsest kind, perish in far less tiuie tfaiui 1,300 years. But metal-work, if good in material and design, survives. Accordingly wo have abundant specimens of suclt work como down to us from tho Keltic period. Many of these aro rough, but many are rich in materIal,guod in design, nnd is exquisitely skillfulin workmanship. Somo were found deep below tho surfaco of, our hogi, whero probably they were dropped iu (light, and got gradually covered with peat in the slow lapso of centuries. Others worolound In stone chambers mado for thoir reception, and forgotten for moro than 1,000 yours. Vast quantities of tbe gold-work wero consigned to tbo crucible. Some goldsmiths estimate that they purchased and moiled down as much as-£10,000 worth of nucient Koltlc gold-work found from timo to time in Ireland. But fortunately much n!ao has beon preserved. There is quite a magnifl-. cent collection ot works in gold; silver nnd bronze ia the museum of tho Royal Irish Academy in Dublin. Resides these there aro many fine specimens in Trinity Collage, Dublin, and in the British Museum, \_Z A WOMAN'S REVENGE. How a Lovely Creature Got Even with n Cross Counter-Jumpor. In ono of the largest dry-goods stores in this oity there is a particularly cross salesman, Bays the Chicago Tribune. Uo is altogether too superb a creature to bo behind a dry-goods counter, and wbon bo does condescend to wuit upon a customer— so the women say—it is such a favor that it is really painful. Yesterday a young woman wbo had suffered at his bands got even with him in the highest style of the art. She had been selecting tbe matcriul for a dress for an out-of-town friend and -tho disagreeable salesman bad chosen to assume, when sho aaked for samples, that she had no intention of buying, and had loftily referred her to somo one else, intimating as much. The young woman had bought at least half a dozen dresses at that counter, and she vowed vengeance. Yesterday sho walked up to this superb creature with her sweetest and most do* muiv air. She had n sample of oasbmere that sho know couldn't be matched in Chicago, and. V; sat down infrontof him without a word. If thoro is any thing' that ho hates—so tbe women say—it m to take down goods from the shelves; but when a sample is brought in to be matched ho cau't help himself. Bo was in a particularly lofty frame of mind yesterday and picked up tlio unoffending sample with tho condescension of a Duke at the feast After ho had taken down three heavy bolts of cloth he grumbled: r "Bow many yards of olottt do^you require!" "Two," Bho answered, with her sweetest smile. After he bad taken down two or threo moro he impatiently remarked to space: "Rather an unusual shade V*'- "Yes." Ho took down several more and scowled. "h It necossary to have an exact match!" ho finally asked. 'Yes; it must match perfectly," said tlte young woman, decidedly. The salesman knows his business, if he is disagreeable— so tbo women Bay—and, giving a disgusted kind of n sniff, he went to work again. Finally, after ho hud taken down at least a dozen pieces and gone over hia entire stock, he brought her a piece. "This Is tho best I can do," he said, spitefully; "aro you suro your sample came from this store!" "Oil, no," smiled tho young woman, demurely, "I got it ln New York, and I knew you couldn't match It" A HINDOO WEDDING, "fry. I'*n How to Uo a Good Neighbor. The London Quoen thinka that to be really good neighbor demands the possession of ■nany excellent qualities—Uot, temper, dis- ornment and consideration for other peo- .le'a feelings. Anent intimacy, It thinks tt s necessary to exeroiae a littlo tact and to ry to find out when one's neighbors have -lost leisure, and at what hours they like est to receive visitors; there are, it thinks, .•very few neighbors, even if intimate ••iunda, whom one cares to see every day; heir society la apt to pail If one sees them no often. In tact, friendship with near oigbbors, however nice and charming ucymaybe, Is belt sustained by not tot> instant interooum, A .Jlunaman's Theology.

The branches of tho trees ln the garden wero outlined with little lamps, and a largo pond in front of the house was hung round very high up with flags, between which more lamps were suspended., From tho balcony of the house I saw tlio bridegroom arrive on u led horse, accompanied by many friendi. He was dressed in cloth of gold, and woro a splendid, hat, and bis richly caparisoned horso tied wreaths of yellow flowers placed at equal short distances across its hack, and hanging down to the ground. He dismounted at the entrance, whero hia little brido met him, and threw rice over her own and his head, ns a symbol that sho would care for tho wants of; the household. They went together into the house, whore tho wedding guests wore assembled, and sat down on two red cushions facing ouch other. A white cloth waa held up in front of his face, and sho covered her faoe with hor earl, while a cord of yellow and whito wonted was put up around their necks, joining thom togother. ' t\ ■ . A large piece of muslin was then put around his neck, and held up close to her, and under this they joined hands. On leaving the houso, a bouquet, on which attar of rases bod been poured, waa presented to (every guest, and wreaths of flowers were hung round our necks by onr hosts*. , A pot of red paint sooths to have been oue Of tho "properties" necessary at the wedding, end the veneration ln whleli the red paint was held was exemplified by a fact narrated by thb correspondent When telegraph posts were flnt eet up In some re- Imote parts of India, the gentle Hindoo was 1 von t to cut tho same down for firewood, - A | Voting engineer, who had studied the aboriginal character, painted the posts rod. wlKToupan tho natives worshiped the p-isis, land ceased to onriy thom away aa burnt [offerings.

Mr. Thunisun, pastor of the ilrat Presbyterian ohuroh, on Sunday evening preached ono of a series of sermonn on Sabbath desecration, iu which he brought prominently to notico newspapers that are published on Sunday. He regarded thoir publication on that day aa a retrograde step and a return to tho immorality of tho middle ages. Those who do not respect the Sabbath enjoy the Sunday newspaper and desire it to bo left alone, but, he asked, should it be? The distraction of mind it caused nnd the distraction from the holiness and quio!: of Sabbath observance were pointed to. It waa argued, ho said, in defence that thero was moro Sunday work in connection with a Monday paper than with a Sunday paper, but this ho denied on what ho considered good authority. Tho greater part of tho Monday morning paper ho thought could be printed ou Saturday and tho remainder after nine o'clock Sunday evening, or even after 12 o'clock at night, which would allow all the employees an opportunity to attend both services on Sunday. Thoro waa no rest fur the lirnin of thoso engaged in getting up the paper, and besides a number of newsboys had to bo engaged to circulate it in the morning. Woro thoy willing, ho naked, to havo thoir boys thus pollute tho day and be engaged in Sabbath breaking. Tho possibility was that dime of the boy burglars had mado thoir first Btep in soiling the Sunday paper.'. The preacher was of tlio opinion that Iho adveriiser were really responsible, as it was simply another wny of disturbing advertisements on Sunday. No doubt thoro waa nnt ono but would hesitate to send men around .paltering dogers, or pasting up bills for that day, but tho samo result was achieved by advertising iu a Sunday paper.

To-day we have to receive 11 governor-general chosen by the imperial government, and our past experience shows that they aro little versed in questions of vital importance to a strong, growing, enterprising business peoplo ; Canada has served as a school to educate these mon to thu best form uf colonial government in the world, and when, by their continual intercourse, they have become attached to the country, the people and tho customs, nnd ure iu this attachment compelled to take an interest in our welfare—then, wo tay, when they become of some use—some value --they are called by the expiration of their term to leave ub, And it is a noticable fact that they aro never kept idle at home, but tho imperial government, (no matter of what party), seeing thoir increased usefulness, dispatch them upon important missions and to Hll important posts, which it is strange to say they do uot apportion toothers who havo "neBtled under thoir wings" at home. Now, to this representative uf the British crown we pay 850,000 a year—they use up all their old clothes here—and carry away quite a little balance with them; whereas, if we had a crowned head, instead of one semi-c.wenetf, although his establishment might provo a littlo more costly, the court moving from point to point throughout the country would cause the upper ten to circulate considerably more money than at present—money that would never be circulated in any other way—and, more than this monetary diffusion, would be tho direct bandit. t> every Canadian in the interest uf the interested crowned head iu u people growing up around him in ciumoercial importance and wealth, making him vie with them in overy ambition tu increase tho proi-i* rity uud attain the general welfare of his people, so that, at lirst sigh', ivo aie persuaded Mint, Iiu mcinlly, the ohango would bo a sue- 1 cess, WiM speak from a military point ntor.
