Belief mode's of the moon, on the scule of ninety miles to the inch, are being made in London by Mr. H. F. Brion. Assuming tho average depth of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to bo 2J miles, Prof. George McGowan calculates that there is 312,850,000 tons of salt in tho water under each square mile of surface. In nn examination of the stomachs of over 500 English sparrows according to Pro£ Eiley, only 82 wore found to contain any insect re- mains at all, while the stomach of a single truly insectivorous bird had 250 web worms., This bird would <: have given mare aid toan-orobardist than nil army of the useless sparrows. Sea. Tempebatop.es.—In a recent paper before the London Society of Telegraph Engineers, Mr. W. Lane Carpenter mentioned that the temperature of the Mediterranean was found to be 54 ° P. at a depth of 2000 fathoms, while in the Atlantic at no great distance, 36 ° was met with at the same depth. Other instances of thermal differences between partially land-locked seas and the ocean were given, among them tho Red Sea, in which tho mininum temperature is 71°. In the Sulu Sea the lowest temperature was found to be 50 ° .5 at 2550 fathoms, while the temperature was 31s to 33 ° at the same depth in the Indian Ocean. Flames pbom Water.—It seems rather paradoxical to speak of water as an excitant of combustion, yet Mr. Brereton Baker showed the London Chemical Society in 1882 that carbon burns less freely in dried than in moist oxygen. Continuing his researches, the same investigator has found that selenium, tellurium, arsenic and antimony burn with equal readiness in dry and moist oxygen; but that the combustion of carbon, sulphur, boron, and both tbe red and yellow modifications of phosphorus, is greatly modified by the amount of moisture present. Some oxidation took place in all cases, but its extent varied with the degree of dryness of the substances, and no flame appear* mi whon most of the moisture bad been excluded. Yellow phosphorus was obtained of such purity that it did not eveu glow in dried oxygen, though the addition of water caused rapid combustion, ' «v VrBhiiiblw-P-^bB»-of '(n«-.most striking conceptions of modern physics is that matter is eternally trembling with vibrations, to the variations of whioh are due our sensations. Vibratory law, said Mr. 0. 0. '■ Haskins in a recent thoughtful paper, lies at the very bottom of all vegetable and animal life. To it we are indebted for all that is beautiful in art ahd in nature. It gives us all our magnetic and electrical action. It actuates our telegraphs and our telephones, the fire alarm and the electric light. Our batteries would be powerless without it Nay, more; withont these minute movements, which prevade the entire universe, there would be neither heat, nor light, nor color. The stars would ceaso to shine, and the sun would be a blank, invisible. The earth would refuse to move; all sound would cease, darkness, and death, and chaos would instantly succeed to tho present beautiful creation.

A new development of the idea haa been introduced by a French society, and has already found favor in the waiting rooms, gardens and theatres of Paris, It is called the "Electric Magic Lantern," and serves something of the purpose of an illustrated daily paper. It is in the form of a highly ornamental box or pillar seven feet tall, bearing a oonspicious invitation to "Givo ten centimes and soo." The person accepting the invitation looks through a five-inch lens in the front of tho apparatus, drops Ins coin in tho slot, and sees . pass upward a series pf seven drawings illustrative of current events, each picture pausing for a few seconds to give time for a good View of it. A Swan electric lamp illuminates the pictures, and the entire mechau* ism is operated by electricity. The drawings are changed daily, tho list of representations being neatly placarded on tho outside. The Chicago Tribune discourses thus facetiously on the ever fertile subject of annexation: . Before Miss Canada turns up her little blue, cold nose at the idea of Accepting Uncle Sam as a suitor let her remember that he is as young and good looking a fellow as will ever be likely to present Himself, and that she herself is no ohioken. Moreover, her farm jines his'n. Jos. Beaiidin, M.D., Hull, P.Q., writes: Dr. Thomas' Eeleotric Oil commands a large and increasing sole which it richly merits, I have always found it exceedingly helpful; I use It In all cases of rheumatism, as well as fractures and dislocations. I mode use of it myself to calm the pains of a broken leg with dislocation of the foot, and in two days I wai entirely relieved of pain." OEHMAN.S SOUNDLY THUAHUK1). San Fbanoisco, Jan. 19f—The str. Alemadafrom Sydney this morning brings details of a battle iu Samoa on Dec. 18th, in which the Germans suffered a severe loss. Tho captain of the German corvette Oka itated to the captains of the British and American warships in Asia his intention of goto* to Saluafata for tbe purpose of terminating in a peaceful manner the war between King Matoafa and Tarn* asese, tbe pretender. Eighty soldiers from the Olga, accompanied by a num* ber of Tamaseie's men, were landed and marched inland to meet Mataafa. Mataafa retired further inland at their approach. The Germans followed up aud fired into Mataafa's forces, killing a young son of a chief. The chief became excited and was only prevented by his own people from returning the fire, but while strugo-ling against their efforts was shot dead himself. The Mataafa men could not stand this, and by common impulse shot it their assailants. Their first volley killed six Germans and wounded others. The Germans then retreated and 60 of them were killed and wounded. Mataafa lost about 10 killed and 30 wounded. The Olga then threw shells into the spot where Mataafa was supposed to be and several were killed. Next day Mataafa's late residence was burned by the Germans, The commander of the U. S. steamer Nipsic protested against these measures, but the protest was unheeded. On Thursday tho Olga bombarded the town of Mataafa* gutele, after whioh men were landed and burned it. No notice was taken of protests of European and American residents against the destruction of their property. A meeting of the three consuls was finally held, but it came to an abrupt termination. The German consul proposed that Mataafa should bo disarmed and that ho should surrender liim-ulf on board one of the German warships. His life was promised to bo spared,. but no guarantee would be given for his liberation. The proposition was not accepted by the other c<insula. Tho Germans thereupon made no secret <.f their intention to crush Mataafa if they 'cotHd: At latest advices the British and American warships have made ready for action and are pre* pared to land men to protect their respective countrymen. Two natives who were deported to Germany with the deposed kini*, Malietoa, havo returned to Samoa and state that the king was kept in prison during the Whole of his stay in Germany. Matteloo'fl followers have obtained a good supply of ammunition, about 25,000 rounds; and of this 1,000 rounds was recently sold to them by au American trader. The Tamasese troops are reported to have only a small supply of cartridges, but a large number of shot guns, and a quantity of powder has been sent to them by a German firm. The followers of Tamasese occupy a very strong position and they have lines of outer and inner forts and are thus strongly entrenched. The men under Tamaseie's command are said to have undermined, for which they were stationed, and that it is their intention to blow the fort up in event of its being taken by the rival party. The United Statei war ship Adams, after a prolonged stay at Apa, left on the 7th of Deo. for San Francisco. She wai replased by tho Nipsic. THE TARIFF BILL, Washinoton, Jan. 19.—The members of the senate finance committee, bavinr* in charge the tariff bill, admit frankly they are not ot ull sure the bill will pais the senate when the date for the vote ia reached on Tuesday next. The fact that Senator Quay fought againit the lugar bounty proposition, coupled with frequent statements that the Pennsylvania senators prefer the preient tariff to tho adjustment pro* posed by this bill, makes them very uneasy as to the result of the vote.

Shanghai, Jsn. 10 Tha lire whioh broko out in tho imperial pakco at Pekin on the 17th is still raging but will be confined within its present limits. Tho loss is enormous. The palaoo enclosure is,a oity itself and about a quarter of it is in flames. The great audienee ball with '"• *laborati ornaments and valuable work, of art is destroyed.

Their majesties were hastily conveyed to a fortress at a safe distance from the flames.. The palace and warehouses were heaped with costly stuffs and treasures, which had been accumulated in preparation ' for the marriage of the young emperor. Immense quantities were destroyed.

London, Jan. 18.—Sir Charles Tupper will attend next Thursday the farewell banquet to Mr. Phelps,the American minister at the mansion house. It is understood that the foreign office here entirely shares Sir Charles Tapper's hopeful view of the fisheries question, and the belief ia generally entertained in official circles of seeing a ready acceptance of the treaty of 1888 among the foremost statesmen of both parties in the United States aa • reasonable and honorable settlement, and that the time is not far distant when similar principles will be accepted as the basis of a complete agreement Favorable comment hu uso been elicited by Sir Charles Tapper's in* direct reference to annexation, when he said that Canada wu in no way jealous of the United States, but on the contrary, admires and wishes them well, knowing that the day is not far distant when Canada herself will pro- sent a similar measure of progress snd prosperity. A COMPLETE SURPRISE. London, Jan. 18.—The result of the eleotion for members of the new London county council, whioh took placo yostorday, is a complete aurprise to everybody. Unusually small interest was taken in the progress of the election, but the turn which the contest took has aroused a general discussion. It is believed that the Radicals and Liberals will have a majority of 28 out of the total of 118 memben of the council and the probability that Earl Rosebery will bo elected chairman is very strong. PThe greatest surprise which has resulted from the election is tho fact that noarly every one of the memben of the present board of works who sought eleotion to the new council wu defeated, and this circumstance is claimed by the Radicals to show conclusively that public opinion iu London ia changing and SDints to the ultimate triumph of omooracy.

In order to give voters generally tho exact method required we print the form of ballot paper which will bo used on Monday, and place a cross opposite tho names of nine candidates. The cross must be distinctly made and should be wholly within tho lines, opposite the candidates' names for whom the vote is intended. Any cross on the lines spoils the whole ballot, and on this point voters ahould observe the greatest care. It will be noticed that the crosses on tho annexed ballot form are placed in front of tho names of the candidates who represent ttie popular ticket, and no voter will be astray who marks the list as below given. Only nine candidates oan be voted for, if more the ballot is spoiled. prevents us citing from that document to day, hut we shall do so in our special Monday morning edition. iCKEBMAFJ. (O. B.

So much bewildering mathematical jugglery has been perpetrated in anonymous fly-sheets with respect to the Southern Railway debentures, interest, and sinking fund—more for the purpose, one would imagine, of confusing the judgment and confounding the sense than for anything else—that a plain, brief and sensible statement of the ease will not be out of the way at this time, as some unwary elector may have got himself tied up into a double knot trying to unravel the interminable skein of misstatement and exaggeration. Let us, then, examine the matter briefly and fairly: Two bylaws have been passed, providing for the borrowing of a total sum of $100,000 for fifty years, at 6 per cent. A total annual amount, for interest and sinking fund, of $12,- 000 is required, which will be raised by levying a speoial annual rate of 14 mills—a little loss than l.V cents —on the dollar, on §862,511—the value of the ratable property of the oity according to the last revised assessment. Every ratepayer knows, or can asccrtnin, what hi. property ia assessed at, and, by multiplying the amount of his assessment by 14 mills, the product will be the exact amount addod to bis yearly taxes. For instance, if a ratepayer's assessment on the roll is $1,000, he will bo required to pay an annual tax for Southern Railway purposes, in addition to his ordinary taxation of $14. The Southern Railway will, of course, enhance every ratepayer's property, immediately, to the extent, at least, of the amount paid during the next ten yeara in railway taxation; but (which is also important) tho 14 mills aforesaid will continue to be levied each year on the value of property when the by-laws were passed, and not on ita enhanced value, as this is increased by the railway, and will continue to inoreaae indefinitely for the next fifty yeara. Moreover, of the $12,- 000 to be railed by taxation, $9,000 only is required to meet the interest on the debentures; tbe remaining $3,000 it lor a linking fund, which will accumulate in the oity treasury, fuidmayWi^n^eBilrfbjrthe city, thai bringing in cumulative interest, which •aayW f^W iVtl)* re-pur- chase and cdnca-jung of debentures, or. when a sufficient sum hai been aeonred, in meeting the intereat and •inking fund far a year, when the ipecial rate tor that year may be napended. Thil '» only common •enw anyway, but tha new oity charter providei ipecially for thu and othor matter*. Lack of apace Referring to our criticism of tho action of the city council here, in deciding not to publish tho auditor's statement in the newspapers, as heretofore, but in pamphlet form (a decision which we can now commend the council for revoking), our cotemporary of the. Voncouver ll*or*i makes the following comments, which we make no apology for reproducing in full, as they present the case of the British Oolumbia press, with respect tothe publio, aud as compared with the press elsewhere, in a very fair and just light. Our cotemporary says: "Unfortunately the civic authorities do not possess a monopoly of the starvation tactics towards the local press. What right has any ono to ask a newspaper to make a cut in its regular rates 1 Possibly in no other community does this habit prevail to a greatir extent than it does in Vancouver. A glance at the advertising columns of the local press would lead outsiders to suppose that publishers and proprietors here had veritable bonanzas in their journals. No greater mistake could possibly be entertained. Thoso who do extend their patronage do so in a manner not at all becoming the dignity of the city and the energy and enterprise of its press, which has and is doing so much to build up and make known abroad the great onward strides Vancouver has already made and the prospects in store for its future growth and prosperity. In nine cases out of ten some eastern backwoods town newspaper rates are quoted and the question asked why equal rates, should not be charged here. The fact is overlooked that whereas the wages paid in the east range from $8 to $10 and 812 per week, here the average runs from $18 to $21 and as high as $25. Paper in the east costing 5c. per lb. here costs 7c. Rent and other expenses are one hundred per cent, higher here than in the east. But the most important item of ail is the tdegrsph account. Omitting the thrw leading dailies of Toronto—the Gh}.. Hail and Empire—we jive __e__ m the order of their seniontT—Ate ?>r._* of British Columbia p_?t sm* far its telegraphic terxdez thi-:1! __i Ute Ontario press combine,.!.' Tlm province has a population in ex«*s of two million, densely settled and within eusv reach of railways. The population of British Columbia at tbe outside will not greatly exceed sixty thousand, and very remotely settled, at "magnificent distances" us it were from each other. The field here, it avill thus be seen, is circumscribed. Yet its press is the most enterprising on the continent, or fcr that matter in tho world, for nowhere else can such excellent journals be found as those of which British Columbia can boast. With these faota before them, we hope that never again will the eastern press be held up to this journal as paragons whereby' to regulate ita charges and spirit of enterprise. Is the lawyer asked to accept fifty per cont. of his account when presented) Or the medical adviser to reduce his bill by seventy- five per cent! When the grocer states his price, is he asked to take forty cents for that which he cannot honestly sell for less than one dollar! Tho practice could be lengthened out to any extent as illustrating the starvation tactics pursued towards the press, For this state of affairs publishers, however, are themselves greatly to blame. Once a scale of charges—and that a fair one—has been adopted there should be no deviation therefrom, Such in future shall be the World's polioy. At first it may appear unreasonable. Nevertheless, if the high standard which we have set out for ourselves is to be maintained, every inch of space whioh we have for sale to the public must produce its full value, Weare confident our confreres of the press throughout the provinco will re-echo these views and sentiments." It would be difficult to add anything to the World's statement of the case on behalf of the press of the province, so far as our experience goes, that would add to the forcible truthfulness of our cotem- porary's arraignment, and wo shall not attempt it here. Gllbort Laird, St. Margaret's Hope, Orkney, Scotland, writes: "I am requested by several friends to order another parcel of Dr. Thomu' Eoleotrlo Oil. The lost lot 1 got from you having been tested iu several cases of rheuma* tlsm, has given relief when doctors' medicines have failed to have any effect. Tho excellent qualities of thia medicine should be made known, that the million, of sufferers throughout the world may benefit by its providential discovery."

To the Municipal Electors of New Westminster OUg: Lames and Qeniuiiun,- Having been requested by a number of citizens to allow myaelf to be a candidate for alderman, and having beon duly nominated, I consider it necessary to make known to you somo of my views regarding a few of the important oity interests. As regards railway matters, I am solid; and having been connected with railways for ovor six years, I am confident that it is to the best interest, of thia oity to make Itself a railway centre. I believe the now council should imme- mediately lay the foandatlon for a first- olasB water works and thorough sower- age system. I shall endeavor to have all moneys that can adviaedly be taken from our resources used to beautify our park, knowing that auch is ono of tho greatest health-giving benefits any oity can have, both for tho old aa well a. for the young. This being the year for the provincial exhibition to be held in this city, I will do my utmost to make it a grand success. I will give my hearty support to anything that may be brought forward of vital interest to this city. I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, i 'our Obedient Servant, djal7t3 s, H, WEBB, ELECTION CARD To tke Municipal Electors of New Westminister City : Lames and Gentlemen,— At tho request of a number of friends I hnve consented to place my name In nomination for the position of nlderman nt tho coming election, fully realizing the Importance and duties of the office. If elected I will eudoavor tn the beBt of my ability, to place our city in the front mnk of the cities of B. C. The following Important questions will have my careful attention: 1. "Railway.—1 will use every legitimate menus ln my power to bring to a successful termination the building aud com- {iletlonof theSouthem Railroad,and will rent liberally any projected railway which may wish to run Into our city, always carefully guarding the best interests of the city. And it if, my opinion it we are true to ourselves and bury any little differences that may exist and wore shoulder to shoulder, we can mnke Kew Westminster the greatest railway center and most Important city between Seattle and Alaska. 2. Water Supply.—I am In favor of the city owning Its own watef works, for there Ib a very large revenue to bo derived from this source, It properly conducted, and, If elected, I will at once take up this question nnd deal with it on business principles, Water rate debentures when issued, bear tholr own value nnd will not be one dollar's tax on the ratepayers. & Sew eiiag e.—Th Is Is one of the most Important questions thnt tho new counoil will have to grapple with, nml, un there Is bound lobe a large emfgrntldii here this .vinr.it behooves us to bo iil-vo midget our city well advanced so as to keep away those tit-end diseases which we so mercifully escaped last yenr. And I have no don hi tt .vim • led the right men a scheme can bo got np whereby tho city can be piPIioily sewered,und the revenue derived f mm i ho snle of water he made to pay tho Interc-il and sinking fund for both water work*; Hint sewerage. ■I. stkkkts— Something must bo dono utnnceto open up all streets In the city so as to give workingmen and mechanics n clnince to get to their lots nnd buildings, nn.l, if ('let-led I will give this subject my careful nttentlon and hearty support. ft. City Hall.—If nny proposition Is brought forward for the erection of a suitable cily hall, nnd If the finances of the city will allow It, I will givo It my warmest support, 6. Street LiGn.TiNo.-I will favor the o-ucndlngnnd Improving of our system of street lighting, for there is no doubt It will stand considerable Improvement. 7. I'akk.-Iii order to make the coming agrlmiUural show a success we must put* portion of the city park ina fit condition with suitable buildings, etc. If elected I will do my best to make the grounds a credit to the roynl city, I am also ln favor of removing the unsightly stumps on Albert Crescent and planting n few shndo trees to replace the -dumps. Nature hns done much for our city and it only wants touching up a little to make It perfect. 8. Publio Library,—There is no doubt a new building Is wanted to replace tbe delepldatcd one now occupying a valuable lot, and there Is no doubt in my mind, but that a suitable one could be erected with stores underneath and library above* and the rents from said stores would more than pay for Interest and sinking fund, and leave a balance for keeping tho library In proper condition. 9. Manufacturers.—I will oncourage any manufacturers thnt contemplate starting business ln this city, treating them In a liberal manner, and will use every effort to show them the advantage of doing business here. It Is well known that manufactures aro the backbone of any eity. 10. Communications.—I will urge upon our ror *••-«■— ••— — ■*-- Domini boat bi „..__.. _..._ also between here aad Ladners Landing. We must also get better connections with the surrounding district. 11. Letter Boxeb.-I will also endeavor to have the postal authorities supply and put In plaoe letter boxei In the suburbs of the eity. 12.1 wilt also urge on our eity member the necessity of having the local govern* ment place a sum of money ln this year's estimates to put the North Arm road In a fit condition for travel. 13. Street Naming and Nukberino,— If elected I will urge npon my colleagues the necessity of havfngoiirstrcets properly named and buildings numbered, as Ib always done ln well-regulated cities. In fact, any project that may be brought up for advancing the interests of the city will have myt arcn.il attention and hearty support. I remain, Your Obedient Servant, E. S.

We poked it pretty lively about the licod with tho Mazing torches, as it passed nud made it d i-op the bam; but felt mightily re- UevaWatleast I did—to see It scuttle like a thief out of the aback. The itinniest, thing to mo about both these burglarious var*nitit was that neither of 'em showed a tooth, or seemed to lose temper, as we broke in on 'em. From what we could see of 'em they impressed us as good-natured animals, who regarded the situation of affairs asany thing but tragical. Seattle bad had similar experiences of the friendly advances of grizzlies before, especially In the old timer*, before the '60s, but I never had, and, had 1 been alono, I should certainly bsve taken to my Winchester and tried to drive 'em off. But it was very evident by this time that Seattle knew what he Wis tatting about, and the hears in this gulch were visiting us ln a spirit of prying curiosity, if not positive friendliness, and were also, most likely, attracted by the aroma of frizzling bacon. Wo were in the baok room looking over the mischief tbe last bear had wrought among our provisions, when tho same mil-, mul, as far as we could Judge, thrust his head inquiringly Into the .front door. Seattle swore a good-natured oath about this re* markablo exhibition of cheek, and hurled a tin dough-pan at him. The noise of tho pan Beared him away, but he stopped und turned round bofore he had gone many steps, and seamed half inclined to come baok. The taste of ham hung around his ohops, and but for his dread of the torches 1 believe he'd have come baok and disputed its possession with us anyhow, for if there is 0110 thing a bear likes better than any thing else it's a nice sugar-cured ham. A bear will stow away more ham than a Sioux, which is saying a, food deal more for the bear tb*f yon; i^gHstoposi. As wo sat by tbe fire and stowed aW-V fiap-jneks and Bacon and coffee-*one of the biggest of the grizzlies sat on bis haunches just beyond the circle of the glow, surveying us with a wistful leer and licking his chops as though begrudging us every mouthful we took.

The annual congregational meeting of the Presbyterian ohurch was held on Thnrsday night last, when reports for the year were submitted, and officers elected for the ensuing year. Mr. Benwell, capt. of the Vancouver foot ball club, telephoned over to-day requesting that tho foot ball match be postponed as the grounds were in a very bud condition. A future date for the match will be arranged. Sunday school annivorsay services will be held in the Methodist churoh to-morrow morning and evening. The illustrated sermon "The Oity we Live In," announced for Sunday evening, is unavoidably postponed for one week. ■ In spite of the addition of 200 buildings to tho oity lust year dwelling houses are atill at a premium. Soveral families are living in the immigrant shed nnd the old high school hns been let to a family which wero unable to secure a suitable dwelling. The ship America, a collier, plying between San Francisco and Nanaimo, will be Hboled in the sum of $1000 to insure the payment of a line of $500, imposed for breaking open the hatchways of the ship after they were ortlorod closed by tho government officials. . Wo havo been requisitod to state that the omission of the "II"-—denoting bond-signer — before alderman Oyens' name in the municipal voters list recently printed, was not intentional, but an error, as Mr. Ovens was one of those who signed the citizens' railway bond. At the police court this morning an Indian woman named Eliza was lined 95 or 10 days imprisonment for being drunk. She got the whiskey from a Siwash named Squamish Charley, who, after getting her drunk, kicked her into the street. A warrant has been issued for Charley and he will be brought to account for his actions. The public meeting to be held this evening at the Drill Shed to allow tho candidates for municipal honors to explain their sentiments on the loading questions of the day, promises to be one of the largest ever held in this eity. It is the duty of every voter to be present this evening and hear tho arguments in order to decide for themselves which are the right men' in whose hands to place the government of the city. Owing to numerous applications which have been mado lately by parties for admittance Into the New Westminster high school, an appeal has been made to tho parents of pupils and others for contributions for the purpoie of making up a salary for an assistant teacher m that institution. It is no doubt necessary that an assistant should be obtained, but so long as the government undertake the support of these schools, we believe they ihould tako the matter in hand. The olaim recently located un Texada Island, about live miles above Gillie Bay, and whioh is owned by Messrs. Ensson, Jenkins, Prowse, Tree and Tippet, seems to givo promise of being a most valuable find. Very tittle development work haa been done, but already a tine ledge, carrying copper, silver and gold has been struck. fyp gold-bear hi}- vein is from six to twelve inches in width, and judging from samples, is of the richest description, fairly bristling with native Sold. A shaft hss been sunk to the opth of about twenty-live feet, and a short tunnel has also been run. Tho work of development will be vigorously prcieouted. The find has created considerable excitement in this city, and already numerous parties are boing fitted out, with the purpose of going to (he spot and locating claims.—Vancouver World.

There was. a delighted crowd at Ilart'B Opera House last night and if the applause which the company received Is any indication thore will be another packed house to-night. No one went expecting to seo a high class play with elaborate plot and stnrtling situations, If they did thoy were mistaken and it is probable they were mistakon. The farce is of the richest kind and the pranks of the bad boy, tho pitiable situations in which the Grocery man is continually finding himself, and the old man's trouble with his son keeps the audience in continual roars. J. J. Wilson in the rolo of the "bad boy" is inimitable, and he is not undeserving of the sobriquet of prince of comedians which was conferred on him by the American press. Frank Oalburt as the Grocery- man is tho best on tho road.—News Advertiser. -»-*»■».- . - V. .11. c. A. Anniversary.

E. 0. Brown, the new president, occupied the chair. After prayers by Rev. Thoa Scouler, Mr. Austin the retiring president and Mr. Jack, tho hon. sec, read brief reports. Short addresses were eiven by the Ven. Archdeacon Woods, Rev. Thos. Scouler, Rev. Mr. Baldwin, Rev. Mr. White and others. A quartette "Drifting with the Tide" by Mrs. Flanders, Miss Williams, Mr. H. L. DeBeck and H. M. Cunningham, in which the former took the leading part, was very well rendered. Mrs. Flanders then entertained the audience with a comic song, "I Woudn't Would you?" and, being recalled, gave "Come book to Erin Mavourneen," both of whioh received enthusiastic applause. Mr. H. Wilson followed with the grand old song "Rooked in the Cradle of the Deep," and on being recalled sung "Flee as a Bird to the Mountain." Both selections were given in good voice and style. Coffee and cake were then served. This portion of the programme was provided by Mrs Hill, Mrs. Dickinson, Mrs. Major, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Scouler and Mrs. McNab, which ladies are always indefatigable in making thii part of the programme not tho least enjoyable of whole, As Pabkelbe's Vegetable Pills con tain Mandrake and Dandelion, they cure Liver and Kidney Complaints with unerring certainty.

CORRESPONDENCE. '.fnnis to Know How It Is. Editor Columbian,—Kindly oblige by answering tlio following for inc. You will remember that our lato City Clerk was ignominously dismissed from his position for discussing as a private citizen, Southern Railway mutters. Despite this precedent, our present City Clerk finds time and opportunity to indite a lengthy letter on the same subject whioh you published in Thursday's issue, and which has since appeared In pamphlet form. If the cx*city clerk was guilty of wrongdoing, is not the present occupant of tho oflice equally guilty ? If not, wherein does his innocence Uo 1 Does being on "tho other Bide", justify his action, and will it meet with tlio supremo npproval ot tho "powers that bu", irrespective of their former decision. A VOTEfl. (We take much pleasure in answering the above. In the first place tho Into city clerk was dismissed on a charge of using improper language to the'mayor, not for "discussing as a privato citizen Southern Railway mattora." In the second place Mr. Robson is secretary of the Bond of Trade, and as such hod a Eerfect right, when instructed by the oard, to reply to the charges preferred against that body, providing always that in so doing he did not sacrifice the city's interests. Tho right of tho city clerk to diacuss public affairs, as a private citizen, has never been questioned, nor is it likely to be, bo long as ho makes no improper use of his position as a servant of the corporation.—-Ed.] Mr. Lnndboni's Utter. Editor Columbian.—In the Mainland Guardian ot tho 16th Inst, there appears a letter over the signature of A. M. Lund* bom, which has plainly been prepared with the object of influencing the present municipal election In thb city, and In which the N. W. board of trade are taken to task for passing a certain resolution, which is quoted in part, regarding tho action of Mr. Lundbom and others in opposition to tho N. W. Southern Railway. Mr. Lundbom says that the idea of tho citizens being called on to ratify the con* tract "is absurd" and that the vote of a bonus of $150,000 to the railway "is another wild statement." Now, I believe that tho ratepayers of this city kuew, when they voted the bonus, that it was for a railway ferry and workshops, hut I believe they were also aware that the forry and workshops were part and parcel of it too; as without the forry the railway could not enter our city uutil the bridge is built, and the workshops being here will bring as permanent residents to the city a large number of skilled mechanics and laborers, whose earnings wilt bo spent in the city for tho support of themselves and families. Mr. Lundbom fears lest tho electors "might possibly be misled by the board of trade's statements." I have more respect for the intelligence of the electors of this city than to suppose that they are likely to be misled by the statement of anyone, even by Mr. Lundbom's pam> phlct and I am suro that they appreciate at their proper value the services of tho board of trado to this city and also thoae of Mr. Liuulbom ct al in the .same behalf. ■■: ',■ Mr, Lundbom says that "aa soon as "tho N. W. Southern Railway Co. bad " a few trees slashed down they have " persistently attempted to get tne de* " Dentures or the proceeds therefrom." This statement is untrue, and Mr, L. knows it to be so. It has been shown at a publio meeting that a large amount of money had been expended by the con* tractors, that the right of way was all cleared, and, in laot, no time has been lost since the contract was made In carrying on the work until the approach of winter put a temporary stop to tho operations. It is well known that Mr. L. opposed the railway from the first, and voted against the bonus by-law, and that nothing would please hlm better than to have the wholo affair stopped; but I think the representations and advice of such aa he will be put at their proper worth by the people ot this city, who have shown time and again that they want this railway and will have it, too, notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. L. and his confreres. In conclusion, Mr. L. Bays the strength of his party will be shown on the 21st inst., when the mayor and aldermen will be elected for tho ensuing year. Well, I am content to wait for that occasion to see it: Mr. Hendry was elected by acclamation on the Hth inst,, and Mr, L, did not venture to bring out his man, and I have no doubt that on the Slst will bo shown the strength, or rather the weakness, of Mr, L.'s party of obstruction, by the election of nine good and true men as aldermen to support tho mayor—men who will bo solid on the railway and also favorable to tho progress and advancement of our fair oity, so that it can take its proper place in wealth and Influence on this coast. As nature has done so much for It in that respect, It only remains for its oitizens to do their part to that end. Happily for New Westminster the number of those who hold Mr. Lundbom's views on municipal affairs Is growing small, by degrees, and beautifully less, and their influence Ib not of much weight at present, I am, sir, yours truly, VoTxn, Win. O'Connor left Toronto yesterday afternoon to row against Gaudaur for 91,000 aaide, tho race to be for the championship, to which ho waa challenged by Gaudaur. After Gau- j daur'sraceit is probable O'Connor will go to Australia, unless ho can in* duce either Searle or Kemp to go to England. He is after tho champion- ahip of the world, and wants a race at $5,000 a side for it, either in Australia or England. He is indifferent to the place. The customs department, Ottawa, havo received during the flnt half of the fiscal yoar from the Chineae immigration tax $28,361, compared with 15,095 for the corresponding period last year. The increase is due to the United States Exclusion Bill, several hundred Chinese returning beforo they were aware of the now law, preferring to pay the Canadian tax tban tn go back. Since then this special immigration to .Canada has again dropped Off, and only nine Ohinamen entered the county last month. .11.— ...—m-m-t - . ,. 1 ■■ ■ , Give Hplloway's Corn Cure a trial.
