Raleiou, Q. 0., Oct. 23.—Governor Fowler to-day opened the colored state fair here, and spoke to a large audienco of negroes. Ho refurred to tho Chicago negroes' action in appointing a day of fasting and prayer for southern negroes, nnd said that his auditors wero as happy as any people on the faco of the earth. He protected all their rights and he pledged them tho wholo power of the statu to be exercised in their behalf, juat as much aB in behalf of the white men. The sentiment of the negro towards the white, he said, in the south is kindly, and thin is reciprocated. Negro schools and asylums lu North Carolina aro as well cared for as those of tbe white people. The Chicago negroes who havo sought to lot apart u day of faatine nud humiliation will never enjoy the same attributes of freedom as the North Carolina negroes. They never even see tho in* lide of a jury box. Tho governor touched upon the negro exodus, and laid the negroes were free to go whore they wished and would carry with thom the best wishes of the whitu people, 10 whose women and children they have been so devoted during tho late war; but they would, in goin ., leavo a state whero they wero bettor protected and happier than anywhere else. The Rev. Mr. Leak, colored, secretary of tho fair, endorsed Governor Fowler's remarks, which wero frequently applauded. Rev. Mr. Leak said that tho negroes' rights wero more fully protected iu North Carolina than anywhere lio ki-L-w of. He heartily denounced the exodus, saying that the negro agents who were urging it were paid so much per head for each negro, whom they induced to emigrate. A LITTLE UNPLEASANTNESS. LoUIsvili.™, Oot. 23.— A special to tho Post from Pinovillo, Ky., says; "The troublj which has beon browing in Harlan county for .omo time past between tho Turnor and Howard factious has br-'keu nut iu earnest and a bloody war ii in pi-ogress.

William Howard liua gathered about him 25 mou and hau openly doited the authorities. He thre&toued destruction to tho entiro Turner faction and Howard nud his men were entrenched in an improvised fort on Poor Fork near Hor- Ian court house. Judgo Lewis with 40 men, mostly Turner sympathizers, essayed to capture tho gang, surrounded the rendezvous, and quietly waited for Howard and his men to make their appearance. As soon ns tho latter sallied forth, they wero tired upon, and a bloody battlo followed. Tho Howard party Buffered from tho fir*t volley, onu m .li being killed and six of thu party badly wounded, Will Howard had a ball plow' a furrow around his neck. His brother, John Howard, received thu contents of a gun and will die. Twu of Judge Lewis's men were wounded. Both sides drew away, and Judge Lewii imd his mon fortified iu the court houso.

Boeok. Tho couplo went to Hamilton, Out., but uftorwards settled in Toronto, whoro Boeck kopt an umbrella storo, Schwinn instituted divorco proceedings, but tho mattor was dropped aud Schwinn died, leaving hia property to Betsy and Laviuia Schwinn, hia daughters.

The property left to tho girls cannot bo touched until they reach their majority, Mrs. Schwinn, their aunt, is trustee of the estate. It is thought that Mn. Jacob J. Schwinn will probably return to Buffitlo. The older daughter, Laviuia, will soon como into possession of her own property, ai she is now 18 years of ago. Sho will take care of her younger sister, Bessie.

MICHAEL DAVITT Delivers a Powerful Address Before the Parnell Commission at the Reopening To-day. The Princo and Princess of Wales are Enthusiastically Received at Athens.

Pricei will be found aa low as at any other offloe In the provlnoe — Adv, TUB KARNELL CASE. London, Oct. 84.—The special commission to inquire into the charges made by the Times against Parnell and other memben of the Irish national party in parliament, resumed iti session today, the proceedings being confined to summing up by the counsel for the variouB penons interested. Job. G. Biggar addressed the commission, and wu followed by Michael Davitt. Davitt read hia speech from manuscript. In addressing the commission, ho said he wbb running directly contrary to popular opinion in Ireland, which had unqualifiedly endorsed the action of hia colleagues in withdrawing from the case before the commission, but he wbb impelled to defend the character of the Irish peasantry, whleh had beeu wantonly and gratuitously aasailed. Although he was no longer a Fenian, he aaid he would become one again if the conditions in Ireland were similar to those of twenty- five yean ago, The aims of the farmen, however, had been partly fulfilled, and the land league, which was baaed ou the same patriotic spirit that had actuated the Fenian organization, waa fast securing justice to Ireland. Unable to resist the steady march of progreu, Dublin Castle would soon quietly submit to the fate of the Irish Ohurch. Davitt reviewed the testimony of Patriok Delaney, who is serving a life sentence in Maryborough prison for complicity in tbe Phoenix Park murders, and who aix yoars ago or more swore away the life of bis own brother. Delaney, he uid, had committed deliberate and wilful perjury, as ho had done in previous oases, and had attempted to obtain his freedom as a reward for service to the Times his villainy had rendered. No agent, David declared, had done more to keep alive the national antipathy of the American Irish to Great Britain than the Times, whose brutal lauguago extended back to the comments of the paper un tho extermination of the Irish peasantry, following the great famine. ABDICATES. London, Oct. 24.—It is reported that the King of the Netherlands abdicates the title of Luxemburg in favor of the Duko of Nassau. ROBBERY, MURDER AND SUICIDE. London, Oot. 24.—About noon today an unknown man entered the bank at Sidosbury, aix milea from Mansfield, ostensibly for the purpose of opening an account. Suddenly he drew a revolver on Mr. Allen, manager of the bank, and fired, and then fired a second shot at the olerk, but missed him. In the confusion the man grabbed a package containing £80aud fled, taking a straight coune aorosB the fields. Ho was pursued and overtaken, but before seized he turned tho revolver upon himsolf and shot himself dead. Possibly Manager Allen may recover, but his condition is serious. ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED. Athens, Oct 24.—The royal yacht -'Osborne," bearing tbe Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Albert Edward, Prince George and Prince uses Maud and Victoria, waa met off the Island of Serdra by the British and Greek fleets thia morning, and escorted into the harbor amid salutes from all tho warships. Upon the arrival of the royal yocht in port the king and queen of Greece and the Duke of Sparta, accompanied bf Lady Monaon and tbe attaches of the Britiih legation, went on board and gavo the visiton the warmest kind of welcome. The entire party were then driven to the palace, being enthusiastically greeted all along the route by the people. ANOTHER ANNEX. London, Oct. 24 —Theophilua Shep- atone, adviser of the late King Uban* desi of Swazilano, who drank himself into his grave, hu been elected ruler of Swazis by the ful! council of the nation. Swazilano Hu between the Transvaal aud Zululand. It gavo assistance to the British in the war against the Zulus, and ia coveted by tho Boon, but ia now to be considered safe in British handi. Hart- Field ■!■_. Work ia progressing most favorably, aays the Free Press, in and around the North Field mine of the New Vancouver Coal Oompany, and It is now confidently expected that coal will be shipped in time to allow patroni In Sim Francisco to cook their Christmas dinner with coal from this continuation ot the Wellington aeam. The seam ll turning out a moat excellent ono, the prospecti indicating that for regularity in thickneiB and quality it will have no equal in this diitrict. The coal that ii now being brought to the surface is pronounced by all who have seen it to be of the fint quality, and will be a main factor in keeping up tho enviable reputation enjoyed by the Wellington coal. The railroad and wharf are also making most satisfactory progreu. The laying of the rails on a portion of the line will bo com menced almost immediately. " —*■_.-- New Tag lor WeilMlnMer. Mr. 0. D. Rand returned this morn ing from the Sound, whither he went to Port Townsond 00 Monday, by the u. Premier. It ii learned that Mr. Rand'i minion waa in connection with tho purohue of the second most powerful tug on the Bound. We refer to the tug S. L. Maatlok which hai been purchased from its owners by Mr. Rand for the MoLaron-RoM Sawmill and Manufacturing Company, of New Weitmimter. Mariners and shippers will now fully comprehend the importance to our shipping interests the purchase of thia tug meaiu. For a time the Muitick will continue tho towing business in connection with the Sound buainui. It ii alleged that Lhe towage tariff charges for vomcIs enter ing Burrard Inlet are meh ai to favor the Sound mills. The determination of the new proprietors of the Ma stick is to so reduce the rates u to effect a saving of several hundreds of dollars in favor of Burrard Inlet and the Fraser river. Tin's will hare the effeot of popularizing the mills in this and the neighboring oity, New Westminster. The move inaugurated by Mr. Rand ia a commendable ono and must result in largely benefiting thu lumbering industry.—World, liliiiicu Treasure. John Garnett, who died at Seattlo last weok, was well-known in British Columbia. About thirty years ago he deserted from an English mi n-of-wor, lying at the Royal Roods, Victoria. He went to Port Discovery when quite a young man and worked in a sawmill at that place. During the gold excitement on the Fraaer river ho went there and made a amall fortune. Returning to Victoria he engaged in tbe drug businoss for about five years. Fortune frowned on bim and he lost all. He afterwards went to tho Cassiar mines, with varied success, wintering every season in Victoria, *he-'e he is well-known. Fifteen yean ngo be returned to the Sound, working for the Puget Sound Mill Company at Port Gamble. Since then he hu worked at Moodyville and New Wettminster. Five years ago, while loading a veuel with lumber at Port Blakely, a large timber fell on his leg and foot, and lio was laid up for nine mot hs, He seemed to have had hard Hues ever after. Ho wu laid up in tbe hospital in Portland for eighteen months. Leaving the hospital he woit to Tacoma lut May, and worked a: sawing for a contractor who did not s ay him. Garnett retained attorneys to sue his claim and the cue is now peiding in the district oourt in Tacomi Being out of money he went to Seattle whore hia friends helped him. He obtained employment in the night ahift at the Mechanics mill where he wu 1 mployod at the time ho went to the hoi el whore he died. Garnett wu on En*: lishman. He was never known to tell any one where hia relatives Jived, and it is now twenty-three yean'since ho vrote to them, Garnett told a friend he intended going this winter -0 Apple Ialand, between Vancouver Is and and tho mainland, where 8160,000 of treasure wai buried. He aaid it wu located on the wut aide of the island, where the western horizon opens between two other islands, and was under a large rock that wu now covered by a landslide from the bluff. He gleaned the information from a dying man in the Cascade mountains. Just previous to his going to the hospital in Portland, he waa waiting to hear from his attorneys, and wu in hopes that he would get his money to enable him to hunt for the buried treasure. CORRESPONDENCE. Editor Colombian—Sir,-—Seeing on article in your paper the othor day re* ttommanding another largo grant to the park, I beg leave, in the name of a num* ber of residents on the bill to protest against tho proposed grant at tho present time. We do not say that it is not very desirable to have farther improvements made in the Queen's park, but we wish to say that it is more desirable and of greater importance to have streets opened post houses where at present it is both difficult and dangerous to find au entrance, During the summer wo sub* mitted quietly to tbo large and * xponsivo improvements made in the neighborhood of the park, believing that aft r the exhibition some attention would 00 given to other parts of the city where no streets are found. But it appears that, Instead of attending to this, attention te directed tothe desirability of continuing these improvements where they would not be of any uh for ono year. We think it is a disgrace to the oity to seo suoh a atreet as John etreet, for instance, between Queen's avonue and Montreal street, in the very heart of the city, full of stumps and stones, it being dangerous on a dark night to use if. What with being destitute of stn etlampa, sidewalks and streets, no wo.ider tbe large population on tbat street should cry out and protest againBt money being spent where it is at present ncc needed while they remain without these conveniences, that other residents of the city In less populous localities, possess. For example, ono street can be pointed out, that has been opened wh ro thero is only one resident, whereas on John street, above Montreal street, there are nearly a dozen families, and in ordor for strangers to reach some of the. 0 housea tho writer has to send one of hi 1 children to pilot tbem through the bush or they would certainly lose their way. The residents on the hill, I think, are entitled to a fow city advantages if tboy aro expected to pay taxes, and I think It would become The Columbian" and othen to champion tho interest! of their streotlew, sidewalkleu and gar less people before advocating a loan foi improvements that are not required at present A Resident of John .Street.

Tho stroot improvements that have been proseouted and nro still boing carried ou tlii*- season, under tho §55,000 loan by-law passed last Juno, arc tlio cause of considerable agitation just now, hi faot, considerable fueling ha. been manifested on tho subject, particularly with ro spect to tho Agnes stroet improvement-, for several wooks past. It cannot bo denied that a, number of individuals ou that struct have* immediate causo for complaint on account of tho manner in whioh tbo improvements affect thoir property, but as to whether they hnvo good grounds of grievnnco against tho -city council, which in carrying on publio improvements has incidentally damaged private property, is another question, and one which wo suppose the couns will settle. If wo might express :in opinion, it would bo hardly reasonable, or in tho public interest, to thus hamper the city in its street improvements and other public works. As to tho wisdom of carrying out the certain design or grade adopted by the board of works on Agues and otber streets, we shall say nothing here. Opinions are nl- roady vory cheap and diverse on that question without getting any nearer an int. lligent solution. But a good deal of nonsense is talked about the money for streot improvements being spent generally other than where the ratepayers supposed it was to bo expended. The ratepayers have no excuse for supposing. The $85,000 loan by-law, under which these improvements are being prosecuted, recited in detail tho approximate apportionments to tho various streets, etc. The by-law in question was published continuously for ono montli, nnd it was tho by-law as published upon which tho ratepayers voted and which thoy endorsed almost unanimously. If the board of works and oity counoil have departed materially from the letter and spirit of the by- lav/ in tho expenditures which they have made on street impi-fSvohieifts, then they are culpable; otherwise not so, in that respect at least. Tho cause of the so called Unionists is dying hard, but dying surely. The report of the Irish National teaguo of Great Britain shows that in 188-1 there were 4,600 members enrolled, whereas in tbe present yon*- the number is 34,117. In 1883 the branches of tlio leaguo numbered 52; tliis year tlie figures are G23, whilst the subscriptions have increased iu greater proportions. From this we may infer that tho prejudice which has on v'eloped the causo of Homo Rule is being dispelled, and tho lato election returns (to which we have previously referred) prove conclusively that tlio electorate' sees with Mr. Gladstone thai", efficient legislation for the remainder of the United Kingdom is delayed until the Irish question is gob rid of by the granting of ,a parliament to sit on College Green, The Homo Rule movement could not be Irish did it not havo a humorous side. It seems a Unionist lecturer, the Rev. Mr. Barfield, disappeared, and at once tho Unionist press declared that ho had been "removed" by the Oian-na-gael, atthe instance of thu wicked Parnellitea. Threatening letters addressed to tbo reverend gentleman woro known to bo iu ■■■ciateiieo, and altogether there could be no doubt that ho had forfeited bis life because of his "loyalty." It now turns out, howovor (according to Conservative newspaper.. ju.*t to hand), that Mr. Barfield bad merely eloped with one of his fair parishioner.?, and that tlio lady herself indited the threatening letters as ti blind. This is a story with a BUjfge-jtiyo moral, antl that wondeif. ! hotch-potch tunned tho Unionist party must bo growing tired of H;-- notorious, if not famous, men who hold high positions in so virtuous a oaii.'ii. Pi-,'-It, the forger, aud Barfield, together with the numberless informers and spies in tlio pay of tho Times newspaper, such as LeOaron und Delaney, form a combination inert! easily imagined than described, but when wo add tho names of niiio-tonllm nf the aristocracy of England (to loud tho combination that air of respectibility it so much needs), and then throw in tbo disappointed oilice seekers of tlio Liberal party, like Chamberlain and Collings, it is easy to perceive that the "only genuino" loyalists of England are, to put it mildly, a very mixed lot. Thu pity and tho wonder of it is that decent men like Hartington continue to have any common intorest with so peculiar a combination. Our'correspondent "u resident of John street," protests, to-day, at some length, against tho proposed loan (which he calls a "grant") for tho purposo of completing certain improvements und making certain additions in eon net: tion with the exhibition buildings and grounds, tho athletic grounds, otc, at Queen's park. While admitting that it is "very desirable to lmve further im provements made on Queen's park," our correspondent "ou behalf of a large number of residents on tho hill," expresses tho sentiment that it is "moro desirable and of greater importance to havo streets opened past houses where at present it is botii difficult and dangerous to find an entranco." John streot, between Queen's avenue and Montreal street, is cited as in a deplorable condition, "a disgraco to the city," full of stumps and stones, and destitute of street lamps and sidewalks. This is certainly a harrowing picture, and the board of works and the city council will bB justly reprehensible if thoy do not take early steps to look into and improve such a state of things as is represented to exist in tho John street precinct. In tho "streets and park" loan by-law, passed last June, there was an appropriation of $1,000 for St. John street (wliich wo suppose to bu the samo street that our correspondent denominates plain "John.") While it is hardly practicable that all the street improvements provided for in the by-law referred to should be carried on at once, still John street, or St. John street, evidently has claims upon the council and board of works whicli should bc attended to with as little delay as possible. Wo cannot seo, however, that our correspondent's natural and proper plea on behalf of certain desirable and oven necessary street improvements has anything particular to do with the proposed loan—not "grant"—for the enlargement and improvement of tho buildings and grounds at Queen's park. The proposud loan is for a specific purpose, and whether it is carried or not, should not and will not affect street improvements in any quarter of tlio city. If our correspondent argued that, instead of being applied to the exhibition buildings, grounds, etc., tho loan in question should bo raised for St, John street improvements, tlio caso would be quite different, but no such contention is put forward. Therefore, as wo have already said in other words, tho two are ontirely separate questions, aud should be so treated. St. John street should havo justicej and the proposed loan for improvements at Queen's park should bc considered on it-i own merits. Our correspondent states, as an argument ..gainst the park improvements, that lliey will not bo of use for a year, meaning, undoubtedly, at the time of our next exhibition. Even if this were so, the improvements in question would havo to be begun somo months beforo tbey would come (into actual use, and if they are to be made—as they must —sometime before the exhibition next fall, thero is nothing to gain, but something to lose, by shelving tho matter for a few months. It will be obvious, however, that the improvements, to tlio athletic and pleasure grounds at least, will come into uso as soon as they arc completed, and will be a constant source of pleasure and profit to evoVy citizen, besides boing au attraction and a credit to the city that will redound to the general benefit iu many ways. Improvements to the buildings and grounds at Queen's park, it should be remembered, are a benelit, not to any particular section, but to the entire city. Too long havo wo gono without such necessary resorts and attractions to any city, and it would be tho extreme of folly, especially in view of the exhibition next year, to neglect to carry to some state of completion the works and improvements so energetically, but necessarily hastily, inaugurated this year. The question of further necessary enlargements und improvements to tho exhibition buildings and grounds and athletic aud pleasure grounds will be discussed at a public meeting in the city hall to-night, aud wo would recommend every ratepayer and citizen to viow the matter on its own merits and act accordingly. NOTES AND COMMENTS. At d dinner party given in New York tho other night by William Waldorf Aster, that gentleman declared that the proposed world's fair must bo held, and hold in New York, nnd mado u success, and if necessary he would foot the entire bill, even if it amounted to $20,000,- 000. It is Jiintod that thero was abundance of extra fine champagne at, William Waldorf As tor's dinner. Tho New York World, commenting on tbe Brooklyn tabernacle fire, snys: "Dr. Tahnago is not ono of those who sit down and lament when calamity overtakes. Tho pastor himself has issued ad appeal for aid in building on thu old site a etifl more magnificent placo of worship." Br. Tulmagu's is the largest ohuroh congregation on this continent, and au appeal from such an aggregation of Eastern capital to tho wholo country for aid hardly seems necessary or beoomming, think3 the Post In- tclUtjcnccv. Major John J. Horner, of Helena, Ark., has made what promises to bn a highly important discovery. Believing that some uso could bo made of tho cotton stalk, he gathered about 10 pounds of tho material and sent it to a factory in New York to be operated in the the same manner as hemp and flax. The result was about twenty grades of (ibrcus material, from coarse strands of the stalk to a glossy fiber as soft as silk. It was produced by an electric process, and ib is thought that materia] for the best of bagging and also for cloth as fine ns linen cau bo mndo very cheaply from this product whieh has hitherto gone to waste. If so it will add enormously to tho profits of cotton culture.

I .o not mean that there arc fowoi thoroughbreds, for thoro are probably moro, but. horses suitable Tor other purposes than ruclug und park uso nre becoming rarer every uny, and although the price paid liy the Oovornment is higher than it has been lor the last twenty yoars, it is vory dtfitciilt to sccuro propor remounts for (lip cavalry, while len, or ovon five, yeara ago at least three times as mnny horses ablo to pass muster as tho advertisements called for. "I havo served on the plains noarly continuously for more tban thirty-live year.," continued tho speal-or, " and tun tolerably familiar with ull tho features ot coyulrj life. A cavalryman always has a frontier station nnd only twos civilization during hlc brief leaves. Civilians do not realize Uio hardships and exposures to which a cavalryman is subjected, He has seasons of Idleness, but also long periods ot great exertion, and as u proof of tho effect of hte life ii can be safely stated that scarcely one man out of ten reaches tho ago of forty-live without being seriously broken down. Indian campaigns aro tho causo of this. I have (ought and chased Indians from the British hue to the Uio Grande, and know what campaigning means. The Indians always get a tremendous start of tho cavalry, and seldom arc overtaken. Tho army has'been blamed for its M-success, but when tho circumstances aro understood It is wonderful that so much ns been accomplished. Tho Indians never attempt to commit outrages In the vicinity of nn army post, and nows seldom used to nrrivo until twenty-four hours or moro had elapsed, nnd the Indians had a long start. Nearly always tney wero provided with remounts, the loose 'horses being driven beforo tiie band, and when an animal shows ..igns or fatigue another wus remounted and the light continued on a fresh animal. Horses aro also stolen wherever met with, nnd the consequence is that tho trooper,'who is confined totho use of a single animal, has a poor ohancb of Overtaking the Indians. Aa a genera! tiung they can fight or cscapo as they pleaso, und never do ihe former except when in overwhelming numbers. Tho fatlguoa of ono of these fruitless marches, generally made on short rations to sccuro celerity of movement by avoiding carrying baggage, can well be imagined, and tho condition of man and beast after a two-months'campaign is wretched in lho extreme. .■Nowadays tho active Indian campaign- lag in coufinod to Arizona, but whon I was n young inan 1 ho Northern Sioux.

The Sioux woro the largest and most powerful tribe, and gavo us more trouble than any others. They wore in their way as well drilled as tho Kiowas, I myself having seen a single chief direct tho movements of a thousand warriors, scattered overall extent of country five miles in diameter, simply by flushing a littlo mirror hold in the hand. The Blaeltfoot- being foot Indians, woro more easily reached, and aftor one or two lesBone novo, yuvc nny movo trouble, although last winter they threatened an outbreak. The Crows and Pawnees being hated by nil othor tribos, were our allies, and made our bost trailers. Tbo Utcs, wiiiie less daring than tho plains Indians, from their situation hi lho mountains woro enabled to ambush tho troops very easily, and many lives have been lost iu this way. Fighting withal was rather a run than a combat, and tho troops had for many years little chance against thom on nccount of their great celerity of movement. It was not until the winter of 1876, when General Nelson A. Milos began his series of winter campaigns, that the plains Indiana wero thoroughly subdued. That ofiieer followed their trail in the coldest weather, drove them from their winter camps, and, although unablo to overtake thom, kept them constantly on the move. Tho Indians, sensitive to cold, and ill provided with clothing, died liko sheep of hardship aud oxpos'uro, and ono by ono tho baud.-;, fairly tired out, camo in, surrendered, and wero disarmed aud put oa reservations.

Mac* tuiiity snys: "Porfect disinterest, tineas and ^elf-devotion, of whioh man ucoms incapable, la sometimes found in woman." Evon Napoloon, who was no admirer ot women in tho abstract, admitted that on groat occasions it is almost always women who havo given tho strongest proofs of virt- uo nnd devotion ; aud Stcolo Baid that women's honrta are much more susceptible i'f good impressions than tho minds of the other box. Otwuy, tho author of --Venico I-reserved," paid this tribute to womon: 0, woman I lovely woman! noluro mailo thoo To lumper man; wo bad boon brutes without you. .' %-ols nro pain tod fair to took lllte you; There's ln you all that wo believo in Hcavon— Am ti i-lng brightness, purity and truth, Etoruul joy and cverlusling lovo. But while discussing tho subject of con staney it may bo of intorest to seo, briefly, what somo mon havo said concerning the constancy of thoir own much-lauded sex, and to Inquire whether, upon tho evidence of writers und mon of lottors, it is entirely ftur to chargo tho foible of fickleness ex clusivoly to woman. What Bhall wo do with Shakoapoaro, who says: Sigh no more, ladies; sigh no more; Men wero deooivors oven ■ One foot oa sea and one on shore, To ono thing constant never. Or how Bhall wo answer Cowpor whon he Sing:-; i • Weak and irresolute is man, Tho purpose of to-day, Woven with pains into his plan, Tho morrow rends away. Somo foe to his upright intent Finds out his ivcniter part; Virtuo ongagos bis assent, Out pleasure wins his heart. GENERAL SHERIDAN. rormumlClmrnctoi-lKtirs of the Commander of Undo Sum's Army.

Sho is a dozon yoars younger than tho General, who remained a bachelor until ho waa forty-odd. Ilo was always afraid of women. When n commissary on tho Pea Ridgo campaign, in Missouri, be took n lively fancy to n young woman living in the town whoro ho was stationed. In a bold moment tho blushing Captain proposed a drive, and tho girl took it in, of courao. Wlion tho timo camo to fill tho engagement, the young indlan-slayor of tho Wost weakened and rotroated. But ho did the beat bo could under such distressing circumstances, and, liko tbe old military horo of tho Plymouth colony, ho sont his proxy with tho nobbiest vehicle thnt could bo hired in tho wholo' Town"' This proxy waa tho Captain's clerk, and tho stipulation was that tho interesting young woman Bhould bo driven by tlio military headquarters. Tho view that tho Captain thus gained of tho doar girl so charmed him that the drivo by proxy becamo a daily occurrence. Don't you wish you know, now, whether tho clork captured tho girl J The Genoral has four little-children, but two of thom do not acknowledge that designation. While thoy woro all tramping niong with their rather, not long ago, an Interested passer-by stopped tho two girls walking behind, nnd uaked: "Aro you all General Sheridan's children?" "No," answered one, with n show of impatient disgust. "Thoy nro General Sheridan's children,1' said tho other, ns sho pointed to tho boy and girl walking with tho father. "Wo nro tho twins." There is a distinction for you. Tho Gonorai was horn, brought up, married and ho lives in the Roman Catholic Ohurch, His parents woro County Cavan poopio, but, un liko tho dominating Scotch Presbyterian importations iu that part of Iroland, thoy woro straight Collie and faithful Catholics. Short, dan is loss than flvo feot six inches tall, but is nearly na broad as ho Is long. His shouldors uro as broad as a door and lis chest ia quito deep. Tho forehead Is brood, hut uot high- tho jaw is squaro; tho mouth firm; tho eyea dark and sparkling. A whito mustaoho and imperial havo succeeded tho full board of war timo. Tho hair is stiff and bristling, but beautifully white. What a head it covers] Until ho bogan to havo his lieuti-dress mado to ordor, Sheridan novor found a cap or hat that would stay in placo. Thts ia tlio reason ho so often rodo in battlo with liia hut or cap swinging in his hand. Tin* head, in tho first place, Is uncommonly large, but bnck of tho ears is a development that puzzles both the hatter and the phrouol* ogist. HAL CLAYTON'S BEARD.

KENNEDY BROS. no! ' PROPRUTOI™ . Bryan O'Lynn had no boots for to wear, So he came to Westminster to buy him a pair. " I'll have one pair of thick ones and one pair of thin, If I can find J. Rousseau's," says Bryan O'Lynn. He hunted the stores all along the main route, Says he, "The right one I've not yet found out I want J, Rousseau—I'll buy only from him, For he sells the cheapest," says Bryan O'Lynn. He stepped a little west of McKenzie street, He met Rousseau's sign—sure it was a great treat; He lifted the latch, and Jim stood within. " I've found it at last," says Bryan O'Lynn. . We showed him both Calf Boots, Kip and Cowhide, The ones we praise mostly, without seams at the side. We have Boots of all kinds, from Quebec and Berlin; " Sure you have boots for the million," says Bryan O'Lynn. He bought him his boots, which of course were no trash, He paid down the money, for we sell only for cash; To the public he says, "lie not taken in, But buy from J. Rousseau," says Bryan O'Lynn. " If there is a leak in the toe or side of your shoe, Just take it to Rousseau, that's all you need do; He will peg it or patch it just while you are in, And the charge seems like nothing," says Bryan O'Lynn, C.

The extraordinary Bucceas of thu cannery men In western Alaska, Inst summer, mado it appear that thnt portion of the territory would in tho near futuro control the whole industry, but the serious falling off in the run tho past summer has made those engaged in tho business turn their attention to southeast Alaska, the indications being that this section ia a more reliable one for A steady pack. Tho steam schooner Gertie Storey, ownod by theennning company on Kayak Island, recently spent conaiderablo timo in prospecting for cannery sitea in tho vicinity of Cross- Sound, and it is more than likely thut ne a result of hor cruise additional can- nones will bo started next yoar hy San Francisco capitalists. An Unfortunate Caw, A woman named Eliza Orr was brought to tho city yesterday from Cariboo, by Sergt.-Major Lindsay, government constable. Sho was com. milted na iusano by John Stone and John Stephenson, justices of tho penco nt Richfield, and u certificate of insanity was furnished hy Dr. Watts, of Cariboo. Tho woman is also known by tho namo of Mrs. Brooks, 1-ut tho former is hor correct namo. Her nr- roat arose out of a quarrel which sho hnd with another woman un the Btreet in Richfield. Tho magistrates examined her nnd decided that she was insane, which decision waa corroborated, by Dr. Watts, who did not mnko n. professional examination, but baaed hia opinion un her actions nnd conversation in court. On hor arrival in Weatmlnater yesterday, Mr, Warwick, government agont, appointed Dr. Ooopor and Dr. I. M. McLean a hoard of medical examiners to enquire into hor sanity. After spending the grouter part of tho afternoon, and subjecting- hor to a very thorough examination-, tho board could not find sufficient evidence on which to b;iso a committment for insanity, and reported accordingly. In accordance with the report of the board, Mrs. Brooks has been dismissed from custody, and will bo sent homo to Cariboo. Tho affair is rather unfortunate, » it has placed Mrs. Brooks in a very awkward position, and tho magistrates who couimittod her on uuoh slight grounds are mueh to blame for not going into the caso very thoroughly beforo Bonding her all the way to Westminster on n mBrn suspicion, Mrs. Brouks practices as a midwife iu Cariboo, and she fears thnt the notion of tho magistrates will oause hor patrons to cense giving her employment.
