Dominion governments at an early day to the necessity of providing, in the event of a subsidy being granted for a steamship lino between British Columbia and tho Asiatic coast or Australia, that provision should be inserted in any contract entered into that will provide for the steamers both ways enming to Victoria or Esquimalt.

Tho wealthy class use the street curs as hearses, and tbo friends follow beside tho car on foot. When tho would-bo imitators of the Princo of Wales and others of the royal family ask outfitters from whom they buy their supplies what is what, thoy nre invariably misdirected, so that many a London swell sports a color or an effect with the boast that it is the same thing as tlio future king of England affects, when, in fact, he wouldn't havo it nt any price. This fact accounts for the many bad fads that havo been accredited to tho prince. Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, wont to Omaha in 1858 or 1859. Ho was young, handsome, gallant and fond of adventure, He fell in love with a vaudeville actress, who proved a coquette.

Stanley, honest in his infatuation, knelt beforo tho woman and protest ed his love desperately. A reporter described the scene in his paper, and Stanley thrashed him for it.— Philadelphia Times, Mr. W. B.

According to instruction wo wore to enter at tho rear door of the tabernacle, climb the back stairs and occupy a rear gallery, whore wo would not be seen by the congregation. Thero was an immense audience, over 7,000 persons being present. Mr. Moody preaohed his sermon, and nt the close said to the people: 'Wo will now bow our heads a few moments in silent prayer.' That was our timo, Wo softly sang, 'Steal Away to Jesus,' and everybody oxcept Mr. Moody was astonished. They looked at the ehoir, but tho choir was as much surprised ns themselves. They could hoc no one on the platform but Mr. and Mrs. San key, and they wero not singing. No words oan described the effect it had on them, many actually believing it was the singing of angels. We had sung in France, Germany, Austria and in Scotland, and beforo seven of the crowned heads of Europe, but had never created such a sensation ns we did then, and," concluded Mr, Thomas, good humoredly, "we have nover been taken for angels since."

Woodruff, secretary of tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Ry., was arrested this morning and taken to police headquarten. It is affirmed by his friends that he never knew of the transaction which ruined the road. They say his duties as secretary wore merely pertunctory and he is not guilty of any wrong. It is believed, however, Woodruff has been in communication with Ives lately. "It is probablo Woodruff waa arrested in order that ho might be had as a witness at the coming trial of Ives Stayuor, at New York. WASHINGTON'* MliTHDAY.

Tho officer staled that there is no communication between tho coastwise towns, but information was recoived on February 12th from St. Marie, ot a serious conflict between tho northern and southern armies that occurred three days before, ono mile below St. Marie, in which the army under Hvppolito had been completely routed and 200 or ".CO killed. The mail carrier said that the northern army had lied to the blockaded port of St. Marie, after which Legitimes army moved toward the interior, and on tho second day's march encountered a detachment of Hyppolito'a army with the above result. The success of Lcgitime's soldiers wns due tu the superiority of their arms.

The answer was: "1 cannotiay what tho government mny determine to do in the future," Mr. Orr asked who or what person or company has control of the largo quantity of qunrtz mining machinery now lying on the bank of tho Fraser river at Yalo. Can the government tako possession of said machinery and utilise it for the development of the quartz mines lately discovered? The answer was, "The machinery belongs to the Cariboo Quartz Mning Company. Mr. Mason has charge of it. Tlio government has no authority to take possession of the machinery. On tho motion of Mr. T.

Mr. Bole will move that tho government introduco legislation to provide an official stenographer in connection with tho houm PL'BHO OPINION Uefeinln llie "Kingdom of 1'nnndu" AgafnHt "Colonin." Sorry we had no timo to reply to the man of many names, who in this instance signs himself "Colonist," and now that wo do intend to do ao, can hardly find anything worth answering, as tho main drift of his production seems to have bean to nir his sarcasms and show the people around him tho fact that; lie lias always lived in a. narrow sphere. ; Now, Mr. Colonist, you say "you havo often noticed that Pub' lie Opinion furnished more material agaii'st n contention than fur it," and in this instance assume the same to be the caso. Tho position taken was this: That the men now sent us by the imperial government, when they did become versed and interested in our affairs, were called by tho expiration of their term to leave us, and that we lost the benefit that would accrue from their increased UBefuluc3?, but nowhere did Public Opinion contend that wo had the best form of government, but the best form of colonial government in tho world, and iho film must havo been thick on your eyes whon you assert that the acknowledgement isinado that our colonial government is in advance of the imperial government. From what source you find that the European governments, except England, nre in a state of semi-barbarism it is impossible to say. You evidently never road it, and you cannot have visited their courts, or you would uot have mado the statement. You reverse actual facts when you refor to kingly rule as having a dwarfing influence, and I would have you remember that the principal nations of Europe have boen built up uuder kingly rule,and when wo neoded money to build our groat railway it was to (hum we had to go for it. Again, you assert that Canada would have boen a howling wilderness in the possession of tho Hudson's Bay Co. but fur tho republic. Mr. Colonist, the boundary is a little south of tho territory over whicli the Hudson's Bay Oo. had control, nnd, although tho eagle Bumetimcs stretches his neck with eager eyes over tho boundary, tho day is far distant, and let us hopo never will bo eoen, when wo shall be governed from Washington. And now we come to that part of ynnr letter where sarcasm merges Into abuse, and comfort ourselves in tho facts that history gives us: That all great schemes or changes, when proposed havo met with stern opponitiiii, nud when small minds failed to bring any forcible arguments againit them tiny would consign their promoters to the lunatic asylum, and it is not to be wondered at that contracted intellects should to-day do the samo, Ono fact still remains for Public Opinion to state ; that is: That, in tho ever changing tido of events, we no more than any other dependency can stand still, and some change out uf the many constantly placed boforo us will tako place, be it "imperial federation," "separation," "annexation," or "tho formation of ourselves into a kingdom." It will be far better for us to aot ourselves and ohocsc a ruler than in the near future to havo one forced upon us, bo he good or bad, and the time is not so far distant when princes of the royal houso will be apportioned a colony und yot subserve the British throne.

A Startling: Story Promised which will Accuse Prince Rudolph of Murder. Children Cryfor Pitcher's Castoria TARNELL commission. London, Feb. 22.—In tho Parnell commission to-day the cross-examination of R'chard Pigott was continued. Further letters between the witness and Archbishop Walsh were produced, confirming the impression made by the first as to Pigott'B desire to expose the conspiracy against the ParneHites. The witiiots, however, in reply to a point-blank question from Sir OharleB RusboII, confuBsed that tlio statements in his first letter to the archbishop were wholly unfounded. Sir Charles then asked thu witness if ho believed Iho Parnell letters were genuine. Pigott answered, "No, I don't, because I am unable to recognize the handwriting of any one of them." Being further questioned, Pigott said he bo- Heved Egan'a letter to be genuine, be- oause he knew the handwriting. W. Reid next laid before the court tho correspondence between Pigott arid Mr. Forstor, when the latter was chief secretary for Ireland, under tho Gladstone administration. Pigott asked for a thousand pounds for services rendered tho government by his piper, The Imiimun. Mr. Forster finally sent hiin a hundred pounds.

It is reported that the Baroness Vetzeri intends to pub- ItOi a full account of her daugeter's death. The interesting point of this is said to bo that the story will reveal whether the young baroness committed suicide or was murdered by Rudolph. THE SAMOAN QUESTION. Berlin, Eeb, 21.-The North German Gazette reproduces an article from the Voss Gazette, whioh admits the propriety and justice of Prince Bismarck's action regarding the German council in Samoa, but questions whether any future director of Germany's affairs will always havo the resolution to utter a note of warning or to stay the clamor and pressure of those who would protect the interests of tho empire beyond seas when they go too far. Tho article further asks whether an intornal remedy will be possiblo without damaging Germany's prostigo, and says thst every mistake that these officials commit may become the sourco of numberless complications. The Foss Gazette therefore notes with apprehension that men have been selected for the positions who hnvo shown themselves little capable of assimilating Prince Bismarck's ideas. OUR NAVY. London, Feb. 21.— Kitracts from tho report of the commissioner of naval manoeuvres in 1888, will bo pro- vented to the bouse of commons today. They any thut the nation has every reason to bo satisfied with tho personnel of tho navy, but that the main lesson of tho mnnojuvreB is that Groat Britain is far from being ns strong as sho should be on the sea. Theyeay: "Wo are decidely of the opinion that no time ought to bo lost in placing the navy boyund comparison with the combinod naval forces of any two powers. At tho Bame time wo boliove tho navy strong enough to cng.igo nny single maritime power with success." It is universally admitted in political circles that tho session of parliament just oponed will bo the fiercest on record as regards legislative fighting. Measures affecting Ire laud will bo vigorously watched by the Irish members. Mr. Gladstone concurs in this opinion.

At tho last meeting of tho city council, tlmt body, by u resolution, moved by Alderman Jaques, and seconded by Alderman Cunningham, heartily supported the application of I the Southern Railway for a subsidy of §3,200 per milo* from tho Dominion government. It would seem that the claim of the Southern Railway to the proposed subsidy would only-need .to beairged to be granted. This road wfil bo a great benefit to u large and important district of the province, and thus a provincial benefit. By means of tho road, the - opening up and development of tlie country through which it passes will be materially assisted and accelerat- ed. The road will form a medium, too, for the conveyance of daily mails through a district which is now notoriously inadequately served in this respect, having only ono mail per week, a condition of things which we have more than once pointed out needed remedying. The road constitutes a most important link, as connecting not only the city of Westminster, but the province of British Columbia, with the great American network of railways on this coast and the continent generally. To the lumbering and fishing industries especially, this southern connection will prove invaluable, giving an alternative route and placing an extensive market within easy reach. There is no lack of precedent for subsidizing such lines of railway, and the claims of the Westminster Southern for the subsidy asked cannot well be denied, supported as they will be by our city council, board of trade, the reasonableness of the demand itself, and the eloquence and influence of our member, Mr. Chisholm. Tho Winnipeg prcsi contains many expressions of esteem nnd regret, on the occasion of the sudden death in that city on Saturday last of Mr. C. J. Brydges, Of him, the Free Pre**says; "it will not be thought inviduous to say that in his death Winnipeg loses its most distinguished and valuable citizen; that will bo the unanimous judgment, spontaneously and ungrudgingly rendered." Speaking of his career more particularly tho Free Press says: " Few men not actually in public life have played a more conspicuous or important part in Canadian affairs. As general manager of the old Great Western railway of Ontario, and afterwards of the Grand Trunk, in the earlier days of railroading in this country, his name was for many years more or less prominently associated in the public mind with everything relating to those two great enterprises. On leaviug the Grand Trunk Mr. Brydges was appointed to the Intercolonial by Mr. Mackenzie, then premier of the federal government, and on severing his connection with that road he received his appointment as land commissioner for the Hudson's Bay company. Since that time Mr. Brydges has been a resident of Winnipeg, and we here have known him almost entirely as the busy, unostentatious, philanthropic eitizen, unweariedly active in every good work, and unconsciously earning the respect and regard of tho entire people. * * * To the general hospital especially he gave a great deal of his time and thought, and to his untiring exertions in its behalf is owing its present prosperous condition. Thore was something, perhaps, not inappropriate that he should be stricken down in the institution that ho loved so well and did so much to promote, during one of the Saturday afternoon visits it had been his custom for years to make." . A writer in the New York Graphic reviews a novel hook which somo clever Yankee has written, entitled "About Advertising." The book consists of IGO pages, which is considered to bo the most remarkable thing about it, as the reviewer cannot imagine that so much could or would be said on so common-place a aubject Speaking of what ho calls the "art of advertising," the author of the book says: "Effective advertising is always distinctive, sharp, short, pointed, and, above ull, original," and gives many valuable hints to advertisers, from which we clip a few: "If the advertisement depart from the truth at all, let it be in under-estimating the true value of the goods advertised; indeed it is good policy to occasionally misrepresent in this direction, creating, as it generally does, a healthy surprise on the paitof the purchaser. Bargains are the "chestnuts" of trade, and less- than-cost goods parodies on nothing. If the advertisement should have tlie appearance of cordiality, let the reception to the would-be customers be made more so, The store which advertises places itaelf under printed obligation! to the public, and should be ever vigilant of that whioh is due the guest within its doors. Many an unsuccessful merchant claims and believes that advertising does not pay people in general, and himself in particular, and from his experience ho speaks seemingly reasonable truth. His advertising does not pay. So might tho farmer complain that his poor seed brought no harvest. Generally speaking, spasmodic advertising is as silly as spasmodic eating. To expect a ajnglo advertisement to pay is as foolish as to hope to grow fat from the spoils of ono dinner. Do not begin to advertise unless it be the intention to stick to it for threo months at least. Tho first month will tell tlio people that tho advertiser is somewhere; the second month, that ho is doing business and has something to sell; the third month, that lie is worth calling upon. To take tho advertisement out of the paper during tho so-called dull times is about as bad as to stop feeding the horse because the present weather is unsuitable for using him. Carpet advertising should bo written largely to please the ladies. The woman who is not influenced by n well-written carpet advertisement never had, or will have, a carpet about the house. Thero is no typo too big to boom the wear and At of ready-made clothing. Manipulate a run on goblots, n panic on decorated tea sets, a rush on pitchers, a hurrah on platters.*; No rclWEtile, tjfst-elass druggist will push the salo of any proprietary medicine, excepting simple home-made remedies for colds, coughs, bowel complaints, burns, toothache, corns nnd lhe liko. Mako one (lay a napkin day, another a sheet and pillow case occasion, another devoted to hosiery, another to underwear, another to dress patterns. Mako an occasional run ou chamber sets; a special advertisement can easily bo written for each particular set. Boom chairs; expatiate upon tho stiffness of their legs. After a burglary it is well to call attention to linos of locks. Insurance companies have the open field of humanity at their disposal. Have ti good deal to say about fresh meat, tender steak, juicy chops, cucumbers just from the vines, new potatoes, ripe tomatoes, berries picked today; but do not misrepresent. * * * I do not believe that ninety-nine and 99-100 per cent, of the pooplo who do not seo the local papers have enough brains or money to be trusted to purchase anything except tho absoluto necessities of life. Thero has never been invented an advertising substitute for tho newspaper; till else is supplementary. An advertiser 1ms no more right to beat down the advertising rates quoted him by his publisher than has tho publisher a right to demand discounts on flour or dress goods. Tho popular idea that an editor is glad to fill up his paper with anything nnd everything is absurd. Very few papors, even small country papers, nre issued which could not throw away all tho matter in type and find enough live copy to reset the entire paper. An advertisement is a silent drummer. Poor prose in an advertisement is bad enough, but poor rhyme is an abomination. Ont of the best tests of the value of a newspaper is the rigidity of its advertising rates. The better tho paper the less variable are its rates and tho smaller its discounts." II. C. Provincial Exposition Subscription Fund.

Hoffman's Cooking and Sewing Classes. 1 4 "This Is a fine day, Arabella," said Mr. Hoffman, trying to divide his attention im- p-irtially between bis second cup of coffee, his wife, and his morning paper, "it's going i-i bo splendid wcathor.

Ieavyyou, Tom, having an office to go to, and somo real hard work to do." Mr. Huffman laid down his paper, and 1 looked at his handsome wifo pityingly.

Now for my plon; I om crazy to start a cooking aad sewing-school for poor children, because 1 am persuaded thut n big partof tho misery of poor homes conies from tho women not knowing how to cook and sew. I want you and Julia to tako week about managing this for me." 41 But, Mrs. Hoffman, we can't cook or sew ourselves," said Sophy. "Thut's one moro objection than I gave you leavo to mako, but I pass it by. I'm a splendid cook, and a first rate seamstress, and can teach you and Julia quito fast enough for you to teach the school. Now, don't givo mo any answer till you have talked It ovor with Julia." The only nnswer Miss Sophy could make was n soft kiss on her friend's hand. Whut she aud Julia thought of the plan needs no tolling. By ono of tho little inner wheels, "work- log together for good" in God's blessed providence, Mr. Parsons was ready loiuuapt the proposal ut onco. Thero happened io be at this very timo a saleswoman outof employment, whom ho desired to secure; he promptly accepted the "two half girls," and engaged the second woman. Mr. Hoffman never again, as long as ho lived, saw his wife look ennuied or dull.

Dr. Hamilton; of Belfast, delivered a sermon recently nn "Our Church Music, its Present Condition, and How to Improve it." As tho subject is one of almost universal interest, we quoto a fow of tho observations of the speaker ns published in n Belfast paper to hand:—"Coming specially to the sbject of praisoj hu asked his audience to notice the great prominence thnt wns givon to it in tho Bible. Ono entire book of tho Bible was n book of praise They had no book of prayer in the Bible, but they had n book containing loti inspired songs of praise. This gave them some indication of tho importance which God attached to the service of song in His house. Moreover, when they como to the times of the Temple, thoy could not read the Bible without noticing thu prominent placo thnt wns given to praise. In tho New Testament thoy would remomber the simple linu in which they wero told that tho disciples, whon they hnd sung a hymn went out into the MAunt of Olives. After referring n'so to the description of the praise in hen- von, ns given in Ruvelatioua, ho pointed uut that praise nnd prayer woro of equal importance in tho worship of God. Praise ns well ns prayer waBnn approach lo God. In both they wero celebrating thu providence of God nnd talking to God, and if (hoy felt lhat irreverence in prayer was n grievous sin of which they would not be guilty, how did it come that irreverence in praise never struck them as n thing quite out of place? Singing iu public worship was often thrown in apparently as a menus of tilling up a gnp. Men forgot thnt, from tbe precentor down to tho humblest child whose voice blended in the offering, nil wero praising Ond. When they come to make nu offering to God they should givo him the very beat they could. That wits taught in tho Roformatiotiof the 16th century, and the Reformers mado it ono of thoir first tasks to provide tho best inaturinU for tho service of praise. Tho reverend gentleman then alluded to tho trouble taken by young men and Indies to cultivate their voices and acquire sufficient knowledge to enable thom to sing secular mustc, and expressed regret thnt they did not take equal pains to improve their singing of praise, and pointing out Ihnt it was a duty they owed thoir Ood.
