The City of Paris has 20,000 bancs in prizes for current-meters for olectrio light service. Lime burners are free from consumption, on account, it is suggested, of breathing dry, hot air. In the Vienna General Hospital »mnn lately died from oancer who bad been infected with trichinosis twenty-tive years before, and whose body contained trichina- estimated to number 4000 millions. Au ofiieiu.1 report upon one of the most disastrous boiler explosions on record attributed the aooident to tho ignition of coal gas that had collected in tlie Hues. Recent observations show that explosive gas is sometimes developed in steam pipes. The American Association for the Advancement of Science meets this year at Toronto, from Aug. 27 to Sept. 3; the British Association, at Newoastle-on-Tyne, Sept 11-17; the French Association, at Paris, Aug. 815. Great meetings are expected. In his work on Baku and its oil, Mr. Oharlos Marvin states that in 1886 a single well spouted as much as 11,000 tons of petroleum per day —an amount equal to the aggregate daily yield of the 25,000 wells of America, the thousands of wells in Gallioia, Roumania and Burmah, and the shale oil distilleries of Scotland and Now South Wales. Tub GreatGiobe.—The immense globe for the Paris Exhibition represents the earth on the scale of one- millionth, and ie nearly one hundred feet in diameter, Details are given true proportions, Paris occupying about a third of an inch. All the great lines of communication by land and sea are shown in detail. The earth's daily rotation may be precisely imitated by clock work,"a point on the globe's equator moving an eightieth of an inch per second. Edible Flowers.—The flowers of an Indian tree, the Mohwa (Bassia lattfolia), are mentioned by Mr. P. L. Simmonds, F.L.S., as being most remarkable on account of their largo proportion of sugar, which reaches 63J per cent. They fall off and eover tho ground, a single tree yielding many hundredweights of corollas. These form—both fresh and dried—a staple of food in many places, and, as a rule, are eaten once ?r twice a doy by the poorer classes of the wild tribes of Central India, and iii parts of Rajpootana, Bombay and Bengal. Revaccikation.—The practical stamping out of small pox in Germany, according to Dr. Hervieux of the Paris Academy of Medicine, has only been accomplished through rovuecination. Vaccination lessens the frequency and severity of epidemics,-and revaccination tends to make them disappear completely. Revaccination should be practised every ten years, and should be performed at once when an epidemic is threatened, even though but a short time has elapsed since, the last operation. Human or heifer vaecine may be used. Biiitish Rabies.—Doubts as to the success of inoculation as a means of combatting hydrophobia, and the question whether in some fatal cases the disease-has not been produced by the remedy, will long continue to give interest to statistics concerning the operation of this method of treatment. A late parliamentary report statea that in 1887 sixty-four persons were sent from Great Britain to'the Pasteur Instituto for treatment for rabies. Of these five died, hut the victims had all been bitten by dogs unquestionably rabid, and in three cases the wounds wero not cauterised. In 1888 Pasteur treated twenty-one British subjects, with no deaths. Light and Magnetism Early in the century experimenters tried to magnetize iron and steel by the action of light, but such a thing has since como to be regarded as impossible. Prof. Shelford Bidwell thinks, however, that some evidence of the aotion of radiation upon the magnetism of iron should be found, and he is seeking it A soft iron rod magnetized and then demagnetised is known to havo undergone somo mysterious change of structure, making it peculiarly suseeptible to magnetic influences in one direction. It appears also to be remarkably sensitive to illumination, and in Mr. llidwell's preliminary researches the magnetometer has seemed to indicate that the effects may be not entirely due to heat but partially to the light rays. Animal Locomotion.—Since 1872 instantaneous photography has given more accurate ideas of animal locomotion than were held previously, In a leoture on this subject at the Royal Institution, London, Mr. E. Muybridgo illustrated by moving pictures the interesting fact that all quadrupeds exoept the camel walk in the samo manner. They support themselves first on two feet, and thon on three, The two may be either both on the same side or one no eaoh side. When the former, the legs are widely extended, the forefoot being thrown forward and the hind-foot stretched backward; and when the latter, the legs are both under the belly of the animal, and the fore-foot being in a backward position, and the hind-foot thrown forward.

San Francisco, April 27.—It was learned at the office of the Union Iron works to-day that Wednesday May lit had finally been decided upon as the date for the trial trip of the cruiser Charleston. It is intended before starting on the long voyago to Santa Baraba, tbat the steamer shall mako a shorter trip on the bay to give her engines a preliminary test. DROPPED DEAD. San Fbanoisco, April 27.—Tom Avery, a young pugilist, with a good local reputation, fell dead on the stage of the theatre at one o'clock this morn- inc while having a friendly set-to with Edward Ouffe, another pugilist. Cuffe surrendered himself. A WINDY PROMISED LAND. Guthrie, Oklahoma, April 27.— Nearly every tent in Guthrie has been demolished by a terrific wind storm. STRUCK DY LIGHTNING. Topeka, Kansas, April 27.—Lightning fatally injured a Mrs. Arnott and seriously injured several other people here last night. GREAT FIRE. Lowell, Mass., April 27.—The Lowell Manufacturing Co.'s Carpet Mill, on Market street, was burned this morning. Loss, 0200,000; partly insured. 700 hundred men are out of work. The fire broke out in the card room and the company will lose nearly $40,000 worth of new machinery, besides stock in process of manufacture. The fire ia believed to be duo to spontaneous combustion, MUTINY ABOARD SHIP. New York, April 27.—Mutiny occurred to-day on board the bark J. Walter Scimmell, from St. Johns, N.B., lying in the harbor and about 'fojgyi with lumber for llio Janeiro, It was claimed the ship was in an tm- seaworthy condition and a fight occurred in which one of tho men was knocked over. Tho bark ran up a signal of distress and.was boarded by the harbor police and order was restored, It was agreed to abide by tbe decision of the proper authorities in the matter. The British Consul will investigate tho case. NO SUNDAY WORK. Washh-oton, D. C, April 27.—The following important order was issued this morning at the post office department : Hereafter the post offlce department will be closed on Sunday to the clerks and all employees thereof, except the required watchmen, engineers and firemen. Clerks and employees shall without exception be denied admittance on that day to the main building, and to the several win*; buildings, and the watchmen ou duty shall strictly enforce the provisions of this order.

McKeel, 18 years old, and John Ivoy, a year older, livo at Norwalk, about twelve miles from this city. A few days ago Ivey traded a horso to McKeel for a watch and $5 and got the watch but not the money. Last evening there was a revival service at the Methodist ohurch at that place which McKeel attended with his mother and sister. Ivey came up to the door and made an insulting remark about McKeel in so loud a tone that tho latter heard it and got up and went out to remonstrate. Ivey drew a dirk and stabbed McKeel once in the side and once under the right arm, penetrating the lung Hnd indicting a fatal wound. Ivoy has been arrested, wheat.

The facts of tho caso are that abuut one week before his discharge from tlie army in July 1805, Dermody obtained leave to visit his family near Trenton. While on leave he interfered 'to prevent a drunken soldier from beating a drummer boy, and was shot in the thigh by the soldier. Afterwards he applied for a pension and Black rejected it, because tho injury was not incurred in the line of duty. Tho laat congress passed an aot granting it to Dermody, but Cleveland vetoed it on Black's ruling. Now Bussey holds that the injury was incurred in the line of duty, as it was Derraondy's duty to protect the drummer boy. DOMINION PARLIAMENT. Ottawa, April 20.—In the house of commons to-day Colonel Prior brought up the question of the iHegal seizure of British vessels in Behring Sea. He knewliMt the Dominion government had ai England to secure a settlement and wanted information at to the delay in bringing the international negotiations to a close. If any blame _existed he wanted to know whero it rested. He contrasted the delay in nettling tins Behring Sea affair with the baste shown by the United States in tbo Samoan affair. He contended that a majority of the Americans on the Pacific* coast opposed the monopoly enjoyed by tbe Alaska Commercial Oo. in Alaska. Nothing, he contended, could justify tho seizure of the British vessels, in several instances many hundreds of miles from land. He referred to the issue of the proclamation by President Harrison and said it was a violation of international rights. Mr. Blaine he regarded as tbo author of the proclamation, which simply proposed to enrich the Alaska Commercial Co. Ho urged tlie government to ask the Imperial authorities to send a British war vessel to Behring Sea. He felt certain that if even a little boat put its nose near tho Aleutian Islands we would have no further seizures. Mr. Davies agreed with Col. Prior on the importance of the matter. The delay simply shows tnat Canada never can secure justice until she hu an agent at Washington. Mr, Weldon's extradition bill passed in the senate to-day. The measures, despite the rumors to the contrary, will be assented to next week by the governor-general. It is also reported that it will be submitted to the English government for approval before it becomes law. In the house to-day Mr. Barnard dwelt on the importance of British Oolumbia as a mining country, pressing her case with much detail and advising the freo admission of mining machinery. He pointed out that several articles of machinery manufactured in the east were for the treatment of freo milling orea, but wero not adapted for treating the Pacific coast ores. If the government removed the duty and established the minim; industry, Canadian manufactures in tho ond would be benefitted. BUILT IN A DAY. Wichita, Kas., April 23.—No one who had never seen a western town take form and shape can comprehend how quickly a full-rigged city, with a double-deck boom, can be put in running motion. Guthrie haa already its main streets, its Guthrie avenue and its Oklahoma avenue. This morning it was a wilderness, and this afternoon the first municipal election occurred. The election notice appeared to-day in the Oklahoma Herald, a daily paper published at Guthrie on the first day of its existence. A council will be elected at the same time. Nearly one thousand votes were polled,'as there are about that many men in Guthrie with the intention of becoming oitizens. The leading candidates for mayor wore Adjutant-General Reice, of Illinois; William Constantino, of Springfield, O., and F. L. Sumner, ot Arkansas City. A strong dark horse is T. Vulney Haggatt, of Huron, D. T. The bank of Oklahoma opened for business at Guthrie to-day, with a capital stock of 845,000. M.W.Levy, a Wichita banker, is president. The new city is flooded with business cards of all descriptions, representing every line of trade and business, evei-y profession and every occupation imaginable. A mass of mail is expected to reach Guthrie postoffiee every day. It ib now being run by a postal clerk detailed for that purpose, but Mr. Flynn, lately appointed postmaster, will take charge in a day or two. A scheme which resulted in the practical cornering of town lots to*day originated, as has been frequently indicated in this correspondence, with tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, probably in combination with a syndicate who have been hard at work in Arkansas fora week or more past. As stated before, a number of men have been going into the territory as deputy marshals, and others under permits as railroad employees. The marshals were simply commissioned and not sworn, and the railroad men were not burdened with official orders. They all did their work to-day and did it well. Officials in the Guthrie laud offlce say that men seemed to spring out of tho earth as noon approached, and that it did not take fifteen minutes to occupy half the townsito, THE GERMANS BEATEN The German Expedition Under Dr. Peters for the Relief of Emin Pasha Abandoned. Hair-Breed Kaeaslaeu. A gentleman quite familiar with the Prince Albert district says there is no doubt that Gabriel Dumont may do much harm in that region. The half- breeds have such short memories that promises of restitution of property lost during the rebellion will bo enough to make them forget sll they suffered at that timo. They are easily led, and can bo induced to make the most absurd and ungrantable requests. For instance, one of their demands in 1885 was that the government should build for thom schools, churches, and convents. There is a Mounted Police post at Batoche and a larger detachment at Prince Albert, and Gabriel will be pretty well watched.—Mail. .— .-»—. Behring Sea fisheries. It is likely that Col. Prior will initiate a discussion in tho hnuBO in reforenoe to the Behring Sea seizures. Tho people of British Oolumbia nro not unnaturally anxious to secure a termination, of the unpleasantness whioh hss existed for the last three years, and until the question of jurisdiction in Behring's Sea is determined, some irritation is likely to exist. It is understood that negotiations aro still in progress on the subject, tho present aspect of them inclining to the belief that an international conference will be held to deliberate on tho question whether or not Behring's Sea is a mare clausum, The preposterous claim of tbe United States to exclusive jurisdiction in those waters is one that affects all the great maritime powers. France, Germany and Italy are almost as much interested in the question as Great Britain and Canada, and tbe support of tho* governments of these countries is confidently relied upon to sustain the contention of the Canadian government. At the preient juncture the premier will, doubtless, not feel justified in speaking as openly on the question ss ho or the people of British Oolumbia would like, but, doubtless, he will be able tu give suoh assurances to the house as will satisfy the country that the government has not been neglectful of its duty or of Canadian interests. —Empire, The Buke of Edinburgh is Taken Seriously IU and Is Taken Home to England.

Bombs manufactured at Zurich aro believed to bo concealed in various parts of Russia, but ready to be brought to any point of action determined upon by the conspirators. ROCHEFORT SNEAKS OVER. London, April 20.--Tlie reports concerning the departure of Mr. Henri Rochefort from Brussels and his arrival in EngUnd have been conflicting and without doubt were designedly so. It was given out at first that he had been left behind in Brussels when Gen. Boulanger and his companions in exile left the Belgian oity. Later it was reported that the valiant editor accompanied his chief in his English invasion, and still later this was denied. Tho facts are that M. Rochefort was left in Brussels and came over yesterday, stealing into London last night very quietly and going unobserved to Madame Dieudonne's hotel in Ryder street. The reuon for so much secrecy and caution is tbat M. Rochefort feared a rough reception at the hands of an English mob on account of anti-English utterances to whioh he has given expression in bis paper during the last dozen years or so. He was afraid his delicate wish that the Mahdi might annihilate Genera) Wol- sey and his command, when the latter was conducting the Egyptian campaign would stir up an unpleasant resentment in the English hearts and causo his arrival ou English soil to te decidedly disagreeable. M, Rochefort had a consulation with General Boulanger this morning at tho tatter's hotel and remained with him for some time. Another danger threat-ens M. Roche- fort. The artist Pi to toll, who is in London, proposes to renew tho hostilities againBt him whieh were broken off last February. M. Pitotell wanted to fight a duel with M. Rochefort because the latter wrote an insulting article criticising M. Pitotell's caricatures of General Boulanger. M. Rochefort would not fight, but now that the artist haa him on his own ground, he may succeed in making it lively for tho trenchant editor. Before T.C. Atkinson,P.M., and P. Mc- Tlernan, J, P.

It must bo- apparent to overyone who 1ms followed tho proceedings in the council chambers recently with respect to the "local improvements by-law," that, from ono cause and another, this scheme for "raising the wind" to do necessary street work and improvements in tho city is destined to be defeated so fur as the object had in view. Theoretically, there appeared to lut no good reason why the provision:- of section 191 of the New Westminster incorporation aot should not be availed of ns a means of raising money to enable important city improvements, for which tho ordinary revenuo is inade- . quate. being undertaken this year. But in this, as in so many other instances, a fatal hitch has developed between the theory and the practice of the thing. Those who have been paying taxes for years for genera] city improvements, and who own property in sections hitherto unimproved, municipally, and which it is now proposed to improve by the issue of local street debentures, naturally object to bearing the exclusive burden of local improvements, while other street work, to which they havo contributed and continue to cotribute, has been and continues to be a tax upon the general fund. It Is true this reasonable objection might bo overriden, and street work carried on under the "local improvements by law" in certain localities in spite of it, by obtaining the requisite majority of petitioners in favor of the measure; but this would hardly bo satisfactory, and, perhaps, not fair either. A more serious objection, however, and one that must bo considered as giving the death-blow to all hopes of a satisfactory working of tho streets debentures scheme, lins been discovered, in the disposition that has become apparent, threatening to, unwarrantably—at least inconveniently—extend the operations of tho measure to all stieet improvements in tho city, howover trivial, thus defeating whatever of good tho "local improvements" idea might contain, by its very abuse. As a worthy alderman said, ."You can't make tisli of one and flesh of another;" but since the matter hns come to be looked at in this light, good-bye to any harmonious nnd beneficent working of the "local improvements" scheme. In fact enough has transpired to demonstrate that it would be the part of wisdom to abandon the idea altogether at this stage, and adopt some other and better plan to enable necessary, pressing, city improvements to bo accomplished this season, Tho obvious alternative is to raise the required sum, for general improvements, by a city loan, specifying in the by law as to its apportionment. A considerable amount of city improvements, not within the means of the ordinary revenue, must, or should, be done this year, and the city is in a first-class position to borrow tho money required, Its debt is small—only $5,500 at present, and, when the Southern Railway debentures are added, still only §155,500—and its credit, of course, unexceptionable. Under all the circumstances, we believe that steps should be taken without delay for borrowing, say, $75,000 for Btreet improvements and* about $15,000 for the park. Both of these amounts could be covered by ono bylaw. We hopo to see some such action taken by the counoil immediately, and have no doubt that such a measure, properly laid out as to details, would receive the almost unanimous support of the ratepayers. An English journalist, says the Graphic, hus recently thrown down the gaunlot to the stngo by tho assertion that the average actor, if not exactly illiterate, is at least a far less well informed person than he should be—than socioty, considering the exceptional oharaoter of Mb calling, has a right to oxpeot him to be. Ideally, ho is a master of poetry and prose; conversant with Shakespeare; ready to attune his mind to any mood, humorous or philosophic, and able not only to declaim fine' speeches by the yard but to linger lovingly over overy subtile cadence and pause to gather a gem of fancy which everyone else has overlooked. His perceptions are supposed to havo been po.ished by the study of both men and books, and he il understood to be equally at home in a library or a drawing room. Such is the actor that enthusiastic admirers of the drama have often evolved from their innor consciousness; bnt thoso who have had the privilelge of meeting these horoes of thi* sock and buckskin in private life, will probably not bo willing to admit that tho portrait holds the mirror up to nriture. Putting aside, of course, such ornaments of tne stage aa Irving, Booth, Jefferson, the Wallacks, Barrett and many others, and coming to what might be termed the dead level of the "profession," tho searcher after the ideal player Will not probably consider himself repaid for his trouble. Whilo in the delivery of his lines nnd the por- trayal of character the undistinguished actor is often admirable, he appears to lose all interest in the subject when he doffs his costume. Talk to hiin afterwnrd of the ethics of his part and of its relations to the tragedy or comedy in which ho has been playing, and you find that the subject has no attraction for him. Suggest, however, that some rival has given a better impersonation than Ida, and he suddenly heroines the most interestedof listeners. Thus the more one sees of the "profession" in private, tho more one wonders tbat a class of men possessing so little general information, and in no sense what might be termed liberally educated, are still able from dramatic instinct and an accurate knowledge of stage traditions, to present a forceful ahd truthful portraiture of characters that educated people find it a pleasure to study. When, therefore, it is sought to cultivate the player's acquaintance and to acquire still further information regarding the theories on which tho impersonation is based, it is disappointing to iind that, in the majority of cases, theso do not exist in the histrionic mind, and, liko that of Canning's knife- grinder, tho amusing talo is absolutely without a moral. But if actors are not what tbey might be—imd who of us are 1—it must bo admitted that society seems very well satisfied with them as they at present move about among us and havo their being. And in fact much of tho absence of heroio achievement on the part of these popular favorites is due to the foot that tho discharge of their functions as social pets leaves them but little leisure to satisfy the engrossing demands of self-culture!

"kYcu would be surprised if I should give you some Idea of tlio kiudsot -queer' coius circulating in thin city," said Mr. William Dickerman, an ex-Troaaury om]Jtoyo, but now publisher of the Vnttcd States Treasury Counterfeit Detector. "Most people," continued Mr. JDicker- man, "do not pay the same attention to email coins as they pay to bank notes, if the bogus coin looks aU right it is taken without any examination. Then, again, spurious coius aro mado moro oasiiy thau cotes, Besltles requiring a large amount ot skill, it takes even a good engraver five or six months to finish the plates, of a bank note. But molds of varioui1 kinds can bo inade Within a week or two at very littlo expense. Mostofthecoumcifeit silver is mado from molds. The most dangerous counterfeits aro those struck' from a die, but these are mostly among tho bogus gold joins. "I will show you tho best samples of ■queer1 gold ani silver coins. Now, strange to Bay, thero is no first-rate counterfeit of tbe doublo eagle. There is a fair counterfeit of the eagle, bearing date 1855. It has ft vory fine appearance, but, as you seo \ hore, whan tho gold-plating ia worn off it leaves the whito metal underneath exposed. Of tho IS gold-pieco tboro are several very dapgeroua counterfeits. The 1844 counterfeit was assayed and found to contain H4r worth of gold. Consequently it resisted acid tost about as well as the genuine. Perhaps the most dangerous counterfeit !6 gold-piece is the ono dated 1681 and 18S9. This counterfeit coin failed to pass tbe sbarp eyes of John H. Vassal-, of the Boston aub-Treasury. It was sent to tho United States -runt, and there analyzed. Its eBfcaj valuo is 14.43. Tho reeding and milling are exceedingly well done. Most of tho coin counterfeits aro mode in molds, but thia one was, without doubt, struck from a dio prepared from wbat Is known as tlio-drop' process. " there aro a great number of very clever counterfeits of tho quarter-eagle, or $3.60 piece. Tho one bearing the 1853 dato Ib the most dangerous. It contains only 27 cents' worth of gold, and yot its size and weight are correct. Tbo best acid tests have failed to reveal its bogus nature. Tbe otber counterfeits are mostly composed of fcrassor platinura, and then heavily gold plated." " What are somo of the best counterfeits of silver moneyl" "Hero, for example, is a trade dollar dated 1877, having mint marks fc> and U. 0. It is only 3 grains lighter than the genuine coin. Its composition Is silver, mercury and German silver, Tho vory best way to detect these counterfeits is by tho ring. A good ear will detect tbo sound at onco. " Then, again, there is tho Bland or standard dollar, first coined in 1878. A number of olover counterfeits of tbls coin have come into my possession, which, although made in a mold, havo a fine general appearance. Tbey all como nearly up to full weight, averaging from 880 to 410 groins. They aro composed of antimony and lead, nnd plated heavily with silver. Tho ring is almost the aamo as the genuine. . "Listen to this keen, sharp ring," said Mr. Dickorman, as ho threw down a silver half dollar, "Doesn't that sound as if it contained glassl Well, tbat Is a counter-' feit of 1870. This coin is nearly full weight and size. But tbo milling and reeding, and especially tho lettering of tho word ' liberty' on tho shield of tho goddess, aro somewhat defeotive. " Of small coins thero are more ' queer' nickels than any othor kind. AU tho counterfeiter has to do Is to read tbo act of 1880 to find the composition of alloy, and thon he can strike off coins of tho samo metal as tho genuine nickels at a profit of threo and three-quarter cents each'. Those bearing tbe date of 1875 aro well calculated to deceive, although the lettering in -tho words 'United States' is Imperfect, and tho stars surrounding the flguro 'flvo' are not well done. "The devices used to mako these small coins aro often exceedingly ingenious. Last year tho chief of tho secret sorvico captured a money-making machine that, turned out nickels almost as fast as a nail machine turns out nails. It would seem as If evory 1 ono engaged in tho 'queer' business had a different way of fixing their stamps and making their composition." 11 Is there any other way of making coins 1 queer* besides using dies or molds)" "Yes, thero are several ways vof '.doctoring • coins. Tbe most common' process is ' plugging.' This Ib dono by boring holes in 1 tho coin, extracting the gold, and tbon filling in the cavity with cheaper metal. Only tho larger gold coins aro used for this purposo. The holes aro bored into tho coin from tho edge or reeding, and afterward covered with gold. Tho reeding is Hum ro- , touched, whore it has boen removed, by n file or machine for this purpose. A coin that has been plugged is well calculated to pass tho sharpest oyo, as It has a perfect ■ appearance, only tho edge showing the least sign of boing 'queer.' "Another process is called 'sweating.' This is dono by removing a portion of tho gold from the surface of the coin by an acid '■' bath. Tbe reduction In value of such coins is from one-tenth to ono-fiftcenth. Of course, tbe coin subjected to such a process has a fair appearance, the weight only being ' ahort. "Thero is still another process, called'filling.' This is often done hy sawing tbo covi through the edge or receding, removing tho i Interior, and putting in cheaper metal. 'Filling' is also done by sawing tbe coin partly In, two from the edge or reeding, on \ one side, leaving a thin and thick portion. ' The thin sido of tho coin is turned book, and the gold taken out from the thicker side. Tho cavity Ib filled with a cheap substitute, and tbe sides pressed back and brazed together. Thus tho coin may loso ovor one- half of its value, and still present a good appearance Platinum is mostly used to replace the gold extracted, both boing of tho samo weight. Whon other and less 1 costly 'filling' tban platinum is used, tho bogus coin will bo light, weight, and will usually havo a bad ring. "It Is surprising," said Mr. Dickorman in conclusion, "howmany Italians aro engaged in passing tho 'quoor.' The chief of the so* crot sorvico told ino a short time ago that in making his replies for tho annual report ho found thoy outnumbered all tho othor clusses. Thoy aro.not olover counterfeiters. They mako, usually, only small coins, and try to pais thom off on some newly-arrived emigrant or somo fruit vondor." The Brotherhood of Creatures. Noar tho city farm In Lowlston, Mo., is a curious pet and a stranger adoption. A philosopher finds in it proof of tho brotherhood of all creatures that livo. A few wcolis ago the family dog brought In a baby mink, its eyes hardly opon—a holploss creature bo inoffonsivo that the dog -would not barm it At that timo tho family cat was in tho joys of recent maternity, and her family was still in durknoss. Tbo littlo girl of the houso bethought herself to put tho mink in With the kittens, and after a fow objections the cat accepted the addition to hor family, and has since carefully tended, nursed and reared it. The kittens and tho mink are all 1 wido awako now, and it is hard to toll which Is the Unppiest. The odd-looking littlo animal ploys cs gleefully as tbo rest, rolling over tho floor, capering, gamboling, jumping, and ln all respects enjoying lifo. It Is not evident, cither, that the cat has any. less regard for it than for auy of tho kittens. .. ■ The Kentucky Cllrl at Work. The Courier of Hickman. Ky., Which ought to know what it's talking about, has a lively 'description of a Hickman girl chewing gum. It says: "She keeps timo to tho music ut the theater; chewing hard and snapping ber jaws together when the villain is in sight, chewing softly when the hero Is on, but stops short at all love scenes, and gently poises tho Black Jack and Tutti Fr-itti on her flngoi tips, but when tbo orchestra strikos up It Ib thrown back Into tho cavil y, and, gee whiz 1 how her jaws fly."

The enormous outfits for salmon fishing in Alaska which have been sent this season from San Francisco have had the effect of creating an uneasy feeling ih the English market. Should tiie Alaskan canners be successful in a moderate degree, it is estimated that the aggregate pack of the coast will be Jji eioeis of the demand, and in which case a sharp reaction of the high figures of tho last two years may be ex* peeted. The Dominion Illustrated of AprH 20th contains some mountain sketches of Britiih Oolumbia scenery (including a sketch of Donald as it appeared to 1880} by Mra Arthur Spragge, and a somewhat lengthly article from the pen of tha lame lady, entitled "Our Wild Westlaud, or Points on tho Paoific Province." The articlo is rery oireumtoribed in its scope, dealing principally with personal goSsip •nd a little topical descriptive. As It purport! to be the first of a series, however, the comprehensive title may be yet justified. Mr. P. Latham to-day opened his llower, plant, and fruit store with a fine selection of plants and flowers in pots and hanging baskets. An inspection of these would amply repay any flower fancier. Mr. Latham informs us that ho has several thousands of plants and flowers in pots at his green houses, of which those ut tho store on Columbia Btreet ore but a specimen. About sixteen hundred tons of quartz havo been taken from the Good Friday claim, Texada Island, for shipment to San Francisco for the purpose of reduction. It is to be hoped that the test will be as satisfactory as the owners can desire. Dr. Bredemeyer, who recently visited Texada, is convinced that tho island contains excellent quartz, and will in the noar future be a groat producer of tho precious metals.—Courier. Workmen nt tho Jubilee Hospital were surprised this morning when they discovered that the cornor stone at the Jubilee Hospital, laid on Tuesday last, was turned over. Tlio valuable coins and documents in tho receptacle were not disturbed, although they were within tho reach of anyone wishing to take them. Tho disturbers were either frightened away or committed the olleuso through love uf mischief making.--rimes. Thu scaling schooner Mollie Adams, Capt. Solomon Jacobs, has arrived ut Seattle, aftor a two months' sealing cruise, with some000 sealskins, which wero caught near the northern end of Vancouver Island. Capt. 'Jacobs is well pleased with tho work of the Adams, but thinks sbe could have done far better if permitted to havo gono into Behring's sea. He intends to return after taking on supplies, and will cruise up to Behring's sea for seals and then complete his cargo with cod* fish from tho seas. —Colonial. Crosied tbe Divide.

He came to Westminstor iu 185!) with the sappers aud minors corps, on tlto old troopship Thames Oity. For many years Thos. Walsh conducted a tailoring businoss in this city. The deceased had many friends in this city, being known as an honest, good- hearted man. But, like bo many better and worse men, drink was his bano in life, and, it is to be feared, hastened his end.. "Tommy Walsh" will bo missed hy nut a few.

P. Bay ward, was practically concluded by tho late Mr. Dunsmuir some timo bofuru his death and we learn tho arrangements will be oarried out by his successors. It is understood that the prico agreed upon for the mill property and business wns $75,000. The logs and lumber on hand, whioh are also purchased, oro estimated at {50,000, but thoir value will be'dntermined by inventory. Tho purchaio dues not include Mr. Say- ward's timber lands, some 7,000 acres of the choicest in the province, which are about boing purchased by a syndicate of local capitalists. It is reported that Mr. Croft will assume the management of the sawmill business upon his return from England The businesa is an excellent one, and under Mr. Snyward's management haa been very Srofitable, Tho Bale was effected by Ir, E. M. Johnson.—Times. Tons of Hr-ll. Seldom, if ever, has ihe fish mnrket of Westminster been so lfbornlly supplied with fish as it was to-day. Salmon were received in very largo numbers, no boats bringing in lesi thou 20 while many brought in from 25 to 30 fish. Among the salmon were many small ones, which tho fishermen attribute to the work of the hatchury, as never before in the history uf tho Fraser river have small spring salmon been so plentiful as they are this year. Oolachans were so plentiful last night that a couple of hauls satisfied tho fishermen, as the market is glutted and the run is so far advanced that the fish have passed their best stage and are beginning to lose in quality and flavor. Sturgeon headed tho list, some 6 tons having reached the market this morning. Theae fish were of all sizes and woights, from 2r.Uu to 700 lbs eaoh. Tbe supply being far .in excess of the demand the fish were offered at very low pricea. The 700 lb, monster was put up for sale at Jl.60--one fifth of a cent per pound —with no taken. Some very large shipments of salmon were made to Montresl and other eastern points, ■ ■■>*•■ A.,,1 «_*.

Vicxoma, April 27.—Tho schooner Penelope has arrived from the southern sealing grounds with -100 skins. Ono ot the huntors states that seals arc very plentiful but could not be killed in large numbers on account of heavy weather. The schr. Sapphire, Capt. Cux, haB arrived with tho largest catch of the season, 7-11 skins. A prominent owner stateB his opinion that sealers will not tamely submit to capture this season. The iron steamship Sardonyx, owned by the C.P.N. Co., left here on the 15th inst. for the north with . cannery supplies. Word was received to-day by the str. BoscowiU. that tho Sardonyx is ashore at tho Aberdeen cannery, with her bottom broken and full of water. She is loaded principally with tin plate and twino. It is not known at present what effect the fresh water will have ou the tin plate, but it is thought if recovered in a reasonable time it will not bo damaged. Tho particulars of the wreck will bo had latter by the Boscowitz, Tho principal part of tho cargo is owned by the Northern Pacific Packing Co. The cargo was valued ut about $25,000, fully insured. Tho steamer is valued at $05,000 snd is not insured. Admiral Heneage is much improved and he visited the city for the first time yesterday.

Tko Hcndelisokn Club's Concert, Every seat in the Oddfellows Hall last night was occupied when lhe celebrated and world-famed Mendelssohn Quintette Club appeared on the stage. Everybody went expecting a rare musical treat, and it is safe to Bay no one left tho hall disappointed. The opening piece by the quintette delighted ovory car and prepared tho audience for the treat thnt followed. Misa Ryan's song-'La Clemonza do Tito," allowed that the singer's voice has received n most caroful cultivation. Her voice and manner were both pleasing, and her eoonnd song was most heartily encored, Herr Anton Hekking's vio- lincello solo was the masterpiece of tho ovening, aud few present ever imagined such beautiful music could bo extracted from the instrument. It wus something never to be forgotten by thoso who heard it; and it is doubtful if Herr Hckking has his equal on tliis instrument. Mr. Thos. Ryan surprised and delighted tho audience with his chuiin*Ito- Fantaisie, rendered in such manner as io draw forth the most rapturous applause. Herr Wilhem Obligor's violin boIo was also a masterpiece, and words spoken in its praise would fail to give expression to the merit displayed. At the close of the concert the playing uf the nations! anthem, fur somo reason, was omitted,. which omission was severely commented on by many. The people of Westminster nro indebted to the enterprise of the Messrs. Lyal, who furnished the guarantee required to induce tho Mendelssohn Quintette club to give a concert in this city. For Mircpl Charity's Sake- Few readers of The Columbian will have furgotten that heroic woman, Mra. Van Luven, who, when the email- pox epidemic broke out in the Walworth settlement, left hor home and I littlo ehUdren to nurse the afflicted, and in ao doing lost her lifo and left behind a mourning husband and four motherless babes. Her laat request was thai tho children might bu kept togothor, aud this dying wish has been faithfully kept by tho afflicted father. But it has been a terrible struggle with Van Luven to obey this wish, ho being only a poor settler, without means, and, with the children on his hands, it lias been impossible to leave home and work for wages. To make matters worse ho has latterly been suffering in health, and his condition is really serious. One of tho ehildten is dying of Hpiunl discaso, nnd both father nnd child are suffering for the necessaries of life, to say nothing of thoso little things for .finch tho system of a sick person always craves, Tho government was petitioned somo timo ego to grant relief to this suffering family, as a partial return for the invaluable services rendered by Mrs. Van Luven in nursing tho smallpox patients, but as yet nothing has been done in the matter, As relief is uot likely to be granted from government sources, surely some charitablo peoplo in Westminster will oomo to the rescue of this alllicted family, and provide the wherewithal to give tho sufferers at least the common necessarios of life until Van Luven has so far rocovcred his health as to be able tu work for the support of his children, We tool curtain this appeal will not bo made in vain, as it does not seom possible that tho motherless babos of the heroic Mrs, Van Luvon will ho allowed to Buffer actual want in this Christian country, PERSONAL.
