Tlio Kamloops Scnf i»*;( of the 19th inst. tells of tho suicide of a man named David McMartin, last Wednesday morning on the Caribou roc1. McMartin left Ashcroft on Thursday morning, the 10th inst, with a seven- horse team and freight wagon laden with merchandise for Barkerville and way points. He laid over at Cache Creek two days and at Cargill'a two days, From Cargill's he went to Dougherty's, arriving there on Tuesday of this weok. On Wednesday morning he continued his journey, and went about five miles on his way to Clinton, whore ho stopped and tied the horses by the road side. About 11 o'olock on the samo day tho st-ye reached there and the driver stopped to look for McMartin, but could seo nothing of him. A searching par.y was formed at Clinton, and a search made for him on Wednesday, but no truce cf him could bo found. On Thursday a larger party was organized, and tho woods thoroughly searched. Tho hunt was successful and the unfortunate man was found hanging to a tree, dead, Tho body waB cut down and taken 11 Clinton, there tu await the action of tho authorities. The deceasod had been drinking heavily at Ashcroft, and it appears he contim ad his libations at point; along the routo, and the natural supposition is that he became temporarily insane through excessive drinking and while laboring under the craze committed the rash deed whioh ushered his soul into the presenco of his maker. McMaitiu was well known in Kamloops and surrounding section, and wns generally conceded to be a harmless and inoffensive fellow. He originally oamo from the neighborhood of Durham, Grey county, Ont,, where it is believed he has friends or relatives Btill residing. He was betwoen 40 and 60 yeaia of age. The Protestant committed of the council of publio instruction are going to summon a special meeting at once, says a late Montreal dispatch, to movo on tho government's reply to their resolutions re Jesuit estates mattor, Toronto still keeps up her splendid record as being a healthy city, the mortuary returns for September snowing a ratio of 1.17 per 1CD0 of population.

I88f, Accounts from tho Athabaska region, hid before the synod of the diocese of Athabaska, notes nn eastern exchange, reproaent tho Indians thero us in a slate of .starvation. Rabbits aro said to liavo been ull exterminated, and partridges have boooine scarce ■ und, aa sometimes ha I-I*-' is wilh wild animals, there was gieut mortality among tho heaver lai-t winter. Lynx huvo become scarce; the Beaver Indians have killed most of their horsos for food, and tiie fishery on Athabaska Lake and tlio adjoining rivers waa bad last autumn and winter. Several cases of cannibalism aro reported to have icjurred among Indians who have i great abhorrence of that crime, lint who wore driven to it as the on y escape from death. Some Iimito< relief has boen afforded by tho missions and trading posts, but I ow inadequate these sources were is told by the mortality. One mrty of Orees numbering twenty-nine is reported to have been -.-educed to three by cannibalism. In othor instances death resulted from starvation. In this ex- tremit /, the Dominion government is nati rally looked to for help, and to be i ffective it will have to come soon. Tho Indian can be pauperized at well as civilized men by having hi:., wants supplied without exertion on his part. But the present crisis not only justifies but makes absolutely necessary tho supply of state relief. Tbe latest reports of tho government of India on the subject of irrigation in that division of the empire are interesting. In no country in tho world has irrigation been carried out on such it lurge scale as in tho Indian segment of tho empire. There the government has control of the operations, nml millions have been spent and the best engineering talent has been employed on the process. In India irrigation is nn urgent necessity. In 1877 78 there were lost in the northwest provinces of India by drouth 3,420,000 tons of food grain, equivalent to tho food of 21,000,000 of population. During the famine which followed over a million and a quarter of people died of want, and this isa sample of what occurs from time to time in India in tlie unirrigated districts*. Since the awful scenes of 1887-78 the Indian government has given more attention to the extension of tho urea of irrigation, especially in tho Punjab, which bus usually sulfered the most from long arid periods. In that district cf India irrigation is effected by permanent and inundation canals, thf foi mer for crops at any time in the year, und the latter for one crop following tlio rainy season. There aro five perennial canals in the Pun- jab, in wliich §22,0-30,000 have been in vested, to irrigate an area of 1,210,- 607 acres which lust year produced crops valur-d at about $14,300,000. Tite net return on the capital in qhtirgos for water service amounted to 4 per tent., uud tho people along the longest canal (542 miles, aerving 400,00 J f.crea) pay but half-rates, as theyaie being educated in the art of irrig iting their crops. The inundation c.mals, which are used for only one crop after the rainy season, show tho net returns on the capital invest*,* 1 much larger than in tho case of the perennial canals, ranging from IjO to 170 per cont. wimmin," was the opinion expressed a gootl while ngo by a competent au thority, and the dictum has nover been questioned. Most mon would declare unhesitatingly that if a woman should wake and find a burglar in her room she would either scream so us to raise the roof or elso faint dead away, and yet here are two modern instances, ono where a women clothed only in a robe de nuit, chased tho burglar down stairs, and the other where another woman dropped her man with a pistol, Perhaps thero is no lesson to be drawn from these two incidents, unless it be that it is the unexpected which always hap pens, but at the next national convention of burglars resolutions will probnbly be adopted demanding tho taking of extra precautions in visiting houses in which there are only lone, lorn women. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The strike among school-children, noted a few clays ago, has spread through the schools of all the ohief cities in Scotland. They won't stand caning, and protest against home lessons. Two of tho most remarkable scientific men of the century, Thomas A. Edison, the well-known electrician, of Menlo Park, and William Orookes, tho groat London chemist and discoverer of radiant matter, aro Theoso- pbists. Mr. Edison is a member of the Aryan Theosophical Society of New York, and Profossor Orookes ia vice-president of the London Theosophical Lodge.—Ex, Tho Imperial palace at Strasburg, where the German Emperor and Empress resided during their recent \\ isit to that city, has taken five years to build, and it has cost £130,- 000. It is the finest Imperial palace that has been built by the royal family of Prussia, and the contractors for the various parts of the work wero exclusively Alsacians and natives of South Germany. Woe on suffragists in a genoral senso vill bo pleased to learn that woi-noij ? sphore of usefulness and achievement is constantly enlarging; in the riQi'ghboring republic, at least, tho ger,tier sex nro demonstrating their right to vote beyond question. A San Francisco exchange gives the following intera-iting" accounts of feminine daring und exploit that must put to the blush tho bravery(1) of many representatives of the "sterner sex"; A few nights ago un enterprising burglar entered tho rom of a huly in this city (San Francisco), and she mado him tired of burgling by aliasing him down stairs, catching bim in the stroot and holding him until she could de- Hvor hiin t > n policeman. A night or two latrr anoiher lady, who lives in ft littlo town about tliiity miles from Los Angeles, was awakened by a, burglar in her room. The burglar, finding her awake, tried to shoot hor, but missed his aim, whereupon she seized a pistol lying nenr her bed, ran out into the hall nfter tlio burglar and shot him as he was climbing through tho window. The man managed to get away but, is believikI to have boen mortally wounded by the plucky woman. If this sort of thing iB to go ou tho profession of burgling will cense to be attractive. Burglars, as ft rule, presume upon the timidity of women, and deem themselves safe in a houso whero thero uro no men, but since the example furnished by the two .'women referred to, tho burglar will have to revise his code, and confine his operations to houses tenanted by the other box, us being less dangerous. "Bum crccturs is A calculation just made shows that Canadians pay $7.25 a head per annum for liquor and tobacco ank live cents per head for missions. It cannot be truthfully said that w are over zealous in the matter of laying tho Gospel before the heathen, But this discrimination is not without parallel. The man who pays a dollar or two for a seat in u theatre will think himself uu excellent Christian if he gives ten cents in church. —Mail, Signor Crispi relates tho following anecdote : "During my first interview with Bismarck, at Fried rich- shuho, the chancellor caused two enormous glasses of beer to be brought, and invited me to drink the one placed before me. I protested thut I drank only water, whereat tho Princo seemed astonished beyond measure, but said nothing. But when he had emptied his own glass he slowly drunk the one which hud been intended for me. Shortly afterward two large pipes filled with tobacco- were brought. The Prinoe lit his own and handed tlie other to mo. 'Your Highness,' I observed, 'many thanks, but I do not smoke.' 'What !' exclaimed Bismarck, rather impatiently. 'You don't drink and you don't smoke 1 what sort of a man are you, then?' " Difierence of opinion exists among labor authorities on the subject of the eight-hour movement. The English trades unions are not unanimously in favor of it. But our Canadian trades council has come out boldly in its behalf. At a recent labor meeting at Hamilton Mr. Powderly spoke with referonce to it. He says he favors the eight-hour day, but he is of opinion that it is not to be obtained through strikes. Agitation alone can secure it. The chief of tho Knights of Labor is, like Chief Arthur, strongly opposed to strikes except as a last resort. He looks for results from influence brought to bear upon public opinion. The dock strike in London has nevertheless, done good. It has given the laborers bettor pay, und has exposed to tbe dock shareholders the faot tbat dividends and wages have been small because tho directors overpaid themselves. Tho oldest notes are tho "flying money," or "convenient money," first issued in China 2697 B. O. Originally these notes were issued by tho treasury, but experience dictated a change to the banks under government inspection aud control. The early Chinese "greenbacks" were in all esseutrials similar to tiio modern bank notes, bearing the name of the bank, date of issue, the number of the note, tho signature of ofiicial issuing it, indications of its value in figures, in words, and in the pictorial representation in coins or heaps of coins equal in amount to its face value, and a notice of tho pains und penalities foiling counterfeiting. Over and above all was a laconic exhortation to industry and thrift: "Produce all you can : spend wilh economy." The notes wero printed in blue ink, on paper made from the fibre of the mulberry tree. One issue, in 1396 UO., is all carefully preserved in the Asiatic Museum at St. Petersburg. CORRESPONDENCE. Taxpayer Answered.

There la to bo found in the heart of tho small city of Kablus, in North Palestine, u littlo religious community—now numbering nbout ono hundred and fifty souls, which has defied the ravages of war and poverty uud oppression nearly throo thousand years. Unlike the Vaudols, theso Samaritans have had no friendly system of mountain buttresses to defend them through tho centuries; and, still more unlike the long- lived Savoyard Protestants, they havo beon right in the pathway along which tho devastating armies havo marched buck aud forth from tlto timo of Sargon to Napoleon. But, writes Kov. Dr. John F. Hurst In Harper's Magazine, they havo lived on, and their unity has novor boon brokon, They have clung to littlo Nablus and to their sacred Mount Gorizim, os the very cactus roots to tbo granite sides Of tho somber Ebul that confronts them across their littlo enchanted valley. As the population of Nablus la just about 13,000, tbo littlo Samaritan community is almost absorbed by tho surrounding Mo- iiaminetlan mass. Savo to a careful observer tlio vory existence and presenco of the Samaritans us a distinct clement of citizenship in Nnblus would not bo noticed. Tho Samaritans wear a turban much liko that of their truo Moslem neighbors, but between tho history and theology of tlto two classes thore Is not a sin glo point of positive resemblance. * * * The. Sainnritun synagogue is a small building in tho center of Nubble, half obscured by tho surrounding dwullinira. I pnGaciUbrouRh arched und littered streets to a littlo court, in tho middle of wliich waa a Httlo plot of grass, relieved by three trees, two of which woro lemon, I horo found a littlo Samaritan school, uud at tho sight of a stranger tho ehildron sprang from tho floor whero thoy wero sitting, kissed my hand, and begged for backsheesh. Tbo teacher was a youth of about fourteen, tho son of Amrain, the liigb priest. I wus greatly disappointed at falling to find Antrum himsolf, but in tho end this circumstance aided mo in my chief object, for tbe young man was willing, for a good fee, to show ma the ancient Pentateuch. His rather might havo been deaf to all entreaties. Tho claim of tho Samaritans to have a copy of the Pentateuch oldor than the Jewish 13 supported by tholr own unbrokon tra* iliUoii, and by tbo opinion of soma learned men of tbe present time in Christian countries. But tho weight of Internal evldenceis against it—among which may bo mentioned grammatical emendations, late glosses in tlto text, insertions of foroign passages, alterations, Snmarilnnisms, and changes In support of Samaritan doctrine. Tlioro nro throe codices kept in tho littlo synagogue in Nablus, two boing generally shown to strangers, Itls very rarely that iho veritable one can bo seen. My goud fortune in getting a hasty look tit it waa duo to tho venturous and avaricious spirit .if Amram's son, rather than to any management of my own. Having first exhibited tbo two imitations, tbo youug man, upon tho offer of an additional fco, then brought out tho original scroll from a chest. After tho removal of tho red sntiu cover I saw thut tho codex was inclosed in a silver cylindrical case, which had two doors opening on two seta of hinges, When these doors wero thrown baok tho wholo column was exposed to tho vision. This cylinder is of rich workmanship, It is ubout tint foci and a half long and nearly a foot in diameter, und presents' in exquisitely raised work, a good plan of tho Tabernacle, with every part given with tbo utmost minuteness and rarest skill, The roll consists of dingy skins—prepared before the invention of parchment—sewed together with neat stitcbeB, aud worn and patched, uud horo and thero entirely Illegible, Tho flldus are of equal size,' and measure oach twenty-five inches long and liftcon wido. Ueforo leaving Nablus I had tlio opportunity of spending an evening with Amrum at his own house. Ho lived in lho greatest simplicity, though iu Palestine that is tlio rulo father than tho exception. Mrs. El Kui-cy, tho wifo of tlio missionary iu Nablus in the employment of tho Church Missionary Society of London, wus good enough to accompany mo and serve us interpreter. Tho.vonerable high priest, who was barefooted, uud clad in a great turbau and loose flowing robe,' recoived us with calm und dignified cordiality in his rocm-at ouuo his parlor, dining-room und bedroom. His very used mother was lying on tho floor, covered with bed-clothing and asleep. Thero wero soveral children, half asleep, lying about tho room. Amram's son-in-law was slowly copying a Pentateuch—for tho Samaritans liavonoprluting-prcss. It requires a year to make a copy, which Is novor sold, and is only used by tho community. Tlio peculiar views of Amram may bo said to represent very fairly tho theology of his dying community. Tho world, ho claimed, is about seven thousand years old. Pur JUty-ilve years mou will go ou increasing in wirkedncss, after which there will somo .■■ time of grout peaco and purity. Then there will como on a now period of consummate wickedness, which will last three hundred years. Tliis timo will bocon* stimulated by tbo total dootruction of tho world. After this the genoral judgment will tako place, when tho righteous will go to livo with Ood and tho wicked with Satau. Thoro aro somo poopio wbo havo clean hctu'to, or at least aro accepted us clean, though nono uro ubsolulely pure. Just boro Antrum looked off, as if iu the distance, and said: "Ood is one I" Here ho intended a slight thrust at all Christians, becauso of their emphasis ou Christ and His divlno bhaructor. Ho spoko with interest of tho ruins on Uouiil Gorizim, and of tho Increaso of his tiummunlty within tho last thirty years. Ho closed by expressing his firm belief that tho time would como when the Samaritans would bo tho most numerous body in tho world. Ami-nm bus sinco died, and tho sedate son-in-law, being tho oldest male relative, has succeeded hlm iu tbo high priesthood. iv-'iillurly Marked.

' Thero nro many Chinoso tailor shops in Pfetv York. Mott street is filled with them. i i'iioy •■so in collars, whore pig-tailed Mon- ko. i'uii3 sit and watch on three-legged stools, aod a pass-word or a doteotivo is ne. del to pass a stranger from the street. They aro in tho rear of first-floor shops and soniei avo in upper stories, through long, wilding halls that smell of dried fish, boil* iiif birds' nests and frying pigs' tails. The clothes arc kopt on dingy shelves and in ' boxes under dark counters, and only form part of tho general stock, liko nails in a lta-dnaro shop. But thore is only ono Poole In ."Sew York, and he has no imitators, says [ the New York Mail and Express. To Imi* tatiourCoIostialPoolorequirefl more cap- itiv tliiin tlio averago Chinaman possesses, Mr Toole is known to the business public - ti3 Moi Leo Wu & Co., and is familiarly callod Mr. Mel by those who have tho honor i>i ids personal acquaintance. His place of l-ii!.in-.!S8 is iti the Bowery, whero he occu- pies the flrst floor and the basement of ono of tho largest buildings under the shadowof tho olovated road. I 1 ho tailor shop looks as little like the cus- ! ternary clothing store as a Chinoso laundry doos hlto n Murray Hill drawing-room. It Is rv largo room filled with tables pllod high with goods, and olothing seems to bo about tho only thing that is not offered for salo. A casual caller might fancy at tho door that Ml*, Mei kept a tea store, Boforo ho hnd gone twenty feet'ho would credit him fl wlih keeping a crockory storo, Another Imlf-dozen pacos would chango bis opinion tig'iin, with onothor chango ln tbo appear** tui.-o of thostoro. On the flrst row of tables aro kopt Chineso wares of all styles und at all prlcoB, from common crockery , sets worth {5 eaeh to a superb rod vase valued at $1,000. On tho next row are • ghisawaro and square boxes holding teas mid spiced herbs. Behind glass cases, against tho wall, aro knick-knacks in ivory and gilt, worth a week's wages for evory ' square inch of surface. Farther back in the storo are laundry goods and tha various utensils used by the frugal Mongolians for their housekeeping. | The Chinoso Poolo is aMacyand a Kid- ■ loy combined. Against tho rear wall, wliich conceals from tho barbarian world tho I Ivlng apartments of Mr. Mel and protty Mrs. Mei, is kept tho clothing. Itls all mado in China and imported in bulk. Here are clothes onough to deck out tho 8,000 China* - men of Now York in holiday attiro and keep them in their Sundny clothes for a yoar. * A Chinaman's overy-day outfit is beautiful in its simplicity. It consists of a pair of j loose trousers almost as short as pantalettes and entirely wanting iu frills, an undershirt, a short coat that is callod Chan v, Ba Tien, or something that sounds liko thnt, and an overcoat known to tho ■ inliisUed as a Poo Hoi Sam. Tho boots, ; called Tien Sun Hi, together with tho hat ■ and hosiery, completo tho wardrobe. Thu undershirt doos not differ materially from that worn by nativo New Yorkers, and is usually made of pongee Bilk. Chinoso dutleB when not working In tholr laundries wear finer grades of silk. Tho long coat is only worn on festal occasions by tho common ■ clasat*:-of Chinese. Tho working-men usually contont themselves with tho short coat. Tho long garmont costs from 510 to flB, depending upon the wealth and rank of tho wearer. The lowest priced article Is made of coarso silk and is usually blue or black In color. The short coat sometimes costs $200, but the variety usually seen on tho streets enn bo bought for from f5to|3. It is mado of silk and is ofton given a waterproof gloss and does doublo servico as coat ana brelta. Tho sandal-shaped boots aro made of clothand have solos an Inch thick. Theso solos aro fashioned of layers of cotton pressed; together, and aro as Impervious to ' moisture as solo leather. The tops of tho slices aro embroidered, and thoy sell at . from (il.fiO to $50 a pair. As nono of tho coats havo sleeves tho selection of a suit of Chinese clothes ia both Himplo and satisfactory. The customer simply fits tho garment around his neck, ' antl takes cnro to select ono that is not too loi g for him and tho task is dono. Chinoso boots havo no right or loft, and th>: only care iu choosing a pair is to see ' thi-tthey are not too tight or ao loose as to rub up and down nt tho heel. Mr. Mci's clerks follow an admirable sys* ; torn in selling their clothing by thowhole- ' mil *. Thoy havo a numbor of Uttle wooden . mi.nikins which aro dressed in tho various co! tmuos offered for salo. Thoso nro the sain -ilea and from them tlio choice is mado. Tho higher grades of clothing aro not offered for sale indiscriminately. Thoy aro thb marks of rank and c*in only bo worn by thi so entitled to the honor. I am not cer- tnin about this point, but I understand from Ml. Mci's second assistant, whoso knowledge of English Is but little moro extensive thru my acquaintance with Chineae, that it is not permitted thom to Bell high grade ok thing to a base born customer, But however that may bo, I saw no rich garments in the assortment, and oven tho manikins wearing such goods woro carefully put out of the way in ono of tho glass cases by the door. Whilo thero aro a number of Chinoso clothing stores in New York, thero is no Chinese tailor. All clothing is ready made. Than ks to tho Celestial stylo of coats, evory ono, from a giant to a hump-backed dwarf, c-m bo fitted wtth equal caso, and as to trowsers, all that Is over soon of them by tho publio Is tho bottoms, which to bo in stylo must flap against the ankles at ovory stop. | GIRLS WHO SMOKE. Bomo ns n Itmuody for Toothache, Others Because They Liko It. fljT "" A letter-writer from Hartford Bays it is not disputed that thore are a great numbor of Connecticut young ladies who smoko cigarettes, and many of thom aro less than sixteen years old. Not loss than a scoro of Norwich maidens smoko, and two or threo girl3 in short dresses occasionally aro seon puQling ut a cigarette while on tholr way to school. In mnny instances tho female smokers boldly buy thoir tobacco supplies at tho cigar Btorcs; in others a gentleman friend, whose ago ranges from six to sixty yoars, min hi tors to tho f ominlno demand. In Hartford tho number of young ladles who smoko is twico or throo times as great as that in this town, and in Bridgeport, Now Haven, Mention aud Waterbury thoro aro foraato monitors, both minors and adults. It Ib ovt den tto overy ono that tho officers empowered to onforco tho Jiivcnlto Smokers' net will havo to bo mon of conspicuous tact and inc*-ii.iustiblo discretion. . ■*-■ • A startling illustration of tho passion wltli which Connecticut girls have takon a stand on the tobacco quostion may ho noted' At Waterbury not long ago a fashlonablo young lady talked freely with a newspaper reporter. Sho said: "0, yes, wo all havo smoked moro or less. I hardly know of a girl in my acquaintance who has not smoked cigarettes at somo timo or othor—just to sec how it would tasto or seem, you know. Thou lots of us smoko them for toothache You doubt It! Woll, just try It tho noxt timo you have a toothacho and seo whether lt is of any good. It's a suro ouro. Moat of us have tho toothacho quito often, you can Imagine." . .- .^,-fv*-.™ Still another Connecticut city girl expressed her views: "Why, of courso wo mnoko more or loss; all socioty girls do. I mean cigarettes, of courso, though I know a good many young ladies lu tho highest society circles who rarely pass a day without smoking a half, or at least part, of a rogular full sized mild cigar. Why, it's easy enough to got cigarettes. AU tho drug uloi'oa keep cigarettes nowadays, you Know, and nothing ill is thought of a young lady who goes boldly ln and buys n pnok- ii'.'i. Why should it bo considered a quoB* tlonablo not? How is a dealer to know whether thu purchaser or a malo member o< hor family is going to use thom. Why, in New York ahd all othor fashionable ci ,l?s Booloty girls, toarn to smoko in board* ir.-f.r-chools, Thoy frequently bogln by ivrn-whig a olgaretto of a gentleman fi tend, nnd nfter thoy havo learned what a jelly thing tobacco is why they tako up cigar smoking—just a littlo bit, you know, because then thoy havo learned to enjoy smoking asa luxury, not as a novolty," - SAVED HER FATHER. Dow a Brave Girl Tut to Shnmo Fifty lUood-Tlilmty UuorrllliiB. Tho neighborhood of Union Depot, Tenn,, wus distracted with feudal troubles during tho war, says a correspondent of tho Philadelphia inquirer. Colonels Snap, Ledbotter and Loltb, of tho Confederate forces, with their partisan bauds, ravaged tho country from ono end to tho other, and wore an** with otorn resistance by tho Union Homo guards, At lho beginning of thn hoBlili- tica tho bridge across tho Halston, above Union Depot, was fixed upon for destruction by the Confederate officials. A band of men undor Colonel Ledhotter was sent up from Knoxvlllo to lire the structure Thoy arrived in tho town just after sunset, and proceeding to tho bridge found it guarded by two mon. Ono of thoso guards run away when tho.Confederates began to smear tho bildgo with coal oil, but tho othor remained, and, shotgun iu hand, opposed tlio marauders. As thoy advanrod ho retreated, fighting thom step by step, and several of tho guorrlllas, shot dead, foil from tho bridgo into tho turbulent stream and wero carried on down toward tlio Tennessee, Kimilly tlio brave defender was overtaken nud otib of Uio Confederates, who know blm, cried out, with musket cocked and presented to his hcurt; "SuiTondcr, or you aro a doad man." "Nover," cried tho watchmnn, and ho discharged his shotgun full at tho advancing man's heart. Tlio Confederate fell upon tho ties, and his body, resting for a moment, finally tumbled Into tho river below. Tno burly watchman's gun was empty and ho had shot awny nil of his ammunition. Ho clubbed his gun, and iu tho lurid light, already flaring nbout him from tho fired bridge, ho fucod his enemies, resolute, delimit totho last. They rushed upon him nnd he waa overpowered. His gun was wrested from bla hands, and a Btout ropo was wound about his body, fast inclosing his arms. "Whut. ihall wo do with him?" asked tho leader. "Ho should hangt Hang him!" echoed the chorus. "To the cedar grovel" was tho ordor, and thoso grim guorrlllas, with tho bound watchman in tholr midst, marched back across tho bridge, now a shoot of flamo, nnd through tho town, to a donso grove of cedars on tho ridgo beyond. Horo they halted, aud tbo leader of tho band, addressing the prisoner, said: "It's the vordict of tho crowd that you be banged. Havo you any thing to say}" "Nothing!"was thodefiantanswer. "You aro whelps and I am a Union man. Do your worst." "Stringhim upl" ordered tho loader, and a rope was produced and knotted about tho patriot's ucck. Ho was allowed a minuto for prayer, and his whito lips wero lnaudlbly voicing a last petition to tho groat Fathor, when a slender, girlish figure, attired in snowy white, burst through tho grim throng and throw her arms around tho doomed mini's nock. With nervous Angora sho undid tho noose, and, forcing tho stern-visu gal crowd aside, cried out In daughterly indignation: "For shame I You aro fifty to one, and you would commit murder. This is my father. If you hang him you shnll hang ine alHo." The guorrlllas wore abashed at this bold defense, and for a timo said nothing. Finally one man spoko, and ho evidently voiced tlie sentiments of his fellows, for his words were wildly choorod. "Now," said ho, "lot's adjourn J elf Davis la a trco man." "Aye! oyol" was tho answer, nnd they slunk away, leaving father nnd daughter to make their way back to tho little town, which now was photographed against tho sky's background by tho lurid glare of tho burning bridge. Father and daughter still live in Union Depot, and evory night tho brave, girl, now a matron with children about her knees, gathers up her two bright tin bucket!! and journeys to tho spring below tho town, chatting gayly with her neighbor women. ^THE HOOSIER WON.

Tlio conversation turned In somo w;\\y to tho subject of eyesight. An old Hoosler farmer who hnd been Hstonlng to our conversation lounged up and snid: " I reckon yew fellers air right smart chaps o-galllvaiitin' roun' through thokontry Hlto I heorn tell yow dew, but I'll'low, b'gosh.'atlklnscofurder un' draw a boad finer nor ary ono o' yo.

"Wai, I dunno's thar war nothin' so very cute 'bout it, but I reckon it war right Bmnrtseoin'." All through this wonderful recital Georgo B., who dearly loved a practical joke and noror missed nn opportunity toperpotrato one, hnd stood gazing fixedly off toward the northern horizon. When tho Hooslor had finished ho remarked! "Yes, undo, that was mighty good'Bccin',' no doubt; but IMI go you a big, round dollar that you can't tell mo tho number of geese In that flock up there," pointing in tho direction In which ho had been gazing.

KENNEDY BROS, isol rROPRIETOItS: 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, "Be 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, .

I'i Iu the ovening tho annual banquet cf tho Vancouver Riflo Association was hold at tho Windsor Hotel, nt which tho visiting team was present. A very onjoyable evoning was spent in speech- makirg and song singing. Many complimentary remarks wero mndo regarding tho fricndliress er.isting in all mat tors betweon the two terminal cities, and tho Bonlimenta expressed by all the speakers favored a continuation nud extension of this order of things. Tho Westminstor team wns highly complimented on tho plucky stand it had mndo that day under adverse circumstances. About midnight tho parly broko up, "happy to meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet again. s-'i 3111 the iVi-fit t'onsi. Mr. Ward G. DeBeck arrived in tho city to-day, by way of Nanaimo and Vancouver, from Discoveiy Pass on the east coast of Vancouvor Island, just nbout opposite Bute Inlet 0.1 the mainland. Mr. Dolieck is wording largo timber limit* in lhat vicinity :'.nd shipping the logs to Niinaimt* te supply Mr. A. Haslotns mills ut that pointi To a representative of Thb Columbian M . DeBeck stated that thoro was a great deal of fine timber on both tho mainland and tho iiland, near the const lines, but that a mat quantity uf valuable limber was being destroyed ovci-* yoar by forest (iros. Thoso lircs aro caused principally by ihu uarelcBBtlOSB of tho natives, who in camping here and there on the coast, set lire to tho dry drift wood, with tlio result that tho ilanicisprends Inland aud ruins mil lions of foet of valuable timber annually. Mr. DeBeck thinks, a we hnvo boforo pointed out, that police sur- veiilaneu nnd more stringent regulations are urgently needed to prevent thu present whulesalo destruction of tho valuable timber resources of tho provinco by fire. Another matter tbat requires police intervention, Mr. Do- Beck statea, is tho illicit whisky trado carried on on the west const and among tho Islands by moans of sloops. The very worst sort of lire-water is supplied to Indiana and to thu logging camps, and tho trado is constantly increasing. Thu Indians of tho coast aro described as a most degraded, lazy nnd thioviah lot. Altogether tho vicinity in quostion would stand looking after, and Mr. DeBeck's suggestion that a local justice of the poaco should ba appointed and a small jjdvernmenii police vessel provided to cruiso up and down tho const continually, is a good one. Cod, halibut and other tlsli aro reported plentiful in tho vicinity of Discovery Pass, and it is no troublo at all to catch them with a line. Mr. DeBeck loft again to-day for the west coast, PERSONAL. A. B. Gray, of Victoria, is in tho city W. J. Mathers left for Viotoria tin afternoon. E. A. Wadhams and Mias Wadhams, of Ladnen, wero in tho city to-day. Mrs. H. N. Rich, of Ladners, was tho guest of Mrs A. R. Orooii to-day. T.
