Johnson, Vancouver; Marcus il'i If, Nanaimo. Mr, J. C. Duggan, of the Now Westminster saw mills, spent two or three days iu town this week ou his return from Calgary. Rev. Mr. Ladner will preach tomorrow in the Methodist Church, morning at 10.30, evening at 7.30, All are cordially invited. R. E. Lumou's wholo stock must be oleqred before tlio end of tbe month. Consequently some great bargains may tie picked op. Tho ice crop, such as it is, has all beeu gathered, and tbo surface of the rjver presents a desolate appear-* mice after the busy scene of last weuk. Capt. Troup, manager of the 0 k Iv. Steam Nav.

Tbe roof is on ami the flooring laid. When finished it will be quite an addition to the town. Mr. Geo. Thomas, who has been do)ng duty at Sicamous during the illuosB of Station Ageut Applo'jy, returned to Ruvelstoko Station last week, Mr, Appleby having entirely recovered, Thero will be a "Calico Bull" on the 17th (St. Patrick's Day), under t|ie auspices of the Rovelstoke Snow- shoe auu ToboKKuii Club, Bouruu's jlall is the place and 8.30 the hour.

A full attendance of those interested in Presbyterian work is desirable, Ou account of n partial onllnpt-o of the roof of the old sclioolhoiise arrange- moots will bo made for services iu the. new Hcb.oolliouse, Judging from the number of baby carriages whinh arrived last week for the firm of Jas. McDonald k Co. it would seem that a great influx of juveniles is anticipated. Probably the town itself will contribute. As will be seeu on our fourth page Sheriff Redgrave will sell by publio auction all tbe right, title and iu-- terest of D. W.

American nickels aro worth only 2yt cents in Victoria now, aud great inconvenience is the result, as thi'ia is considerably more United Status than Canadian coinage in circulation iu this province, Most of the banks refuse to take American silver at its face value, as Canadian money has always been depreciated across th^ line.

One familiar faoe was missing at the Quadrille Clnb's Leap Year Ball last week. The vice-president of the club, Mr. J. Sutherland, having been transferred to the management of Messrs. Hull Bros.' brauch business, at Donald, is greatly missed in social circles in Revulstoke. We have no doubt tbat he will soon be as popular in Douald us he is here. A young Frenchman named Provct was ii illuminate ouongli to lose three fiugers by means of the large circulur saw at the Revelstoke saw mill on Wednesday morning. Tbe middle finger was completely severed, while, the fourth and little tinners were, banging by shreds. He proceeded to Donald by the eastboiiml train the, same morning for surgical treatment. The room in which a number of friends pass the evening smoking- either cigars or inferior tobaoco will have an unpleasant odor next morning. Let the same friends smoke only the "Myrtle Navy" aud they will find quite a difference in the room next morning. If it is reasonably ventilated, as with a tire-place for instauce, no unpleasantness whatever will be found. The purity and fine quality of the leaf used is the. reason of this. Cuarles Nash, one of the men employed in repairing a bridge ou tbe C.P.R. near Clanwillium, severed au artery in bis left leg just above the knee while eugagmi in sawing off a piece of timber ou Wednesday ufter- uoon. As soou as the flow of blood could be stopped he was brought to Revelstoke on a handcar. After, treatmeut at Teelzel's drug store be, was put ou board tbe 5 p.m. express, aud taken to Kamloops Hospital, wbere he is doiug well, although,' still verv weak from loss of blood, At present writing tho weather in. the Selkirks is summer-like, with the thermometer at 50 iu the shade, and tlie buds on the various trees and shrubs ta|l enough to protrude froirj the snow on the point of bursting into leaf, Tho "beautiful" is fas( disappearing from the peaks, and suow.slides ure continually occurring ou the wouutipn slopes, When the ruin comes the snow-filled gulches, will be the beits of torrents rushing riverwaril, and very soon only tha glaciers will bo left to remind us of tbe great suowfall this wiut'T, On Monday evening, tyhen about two miles from Albert Cuuyon and twenty east of Revelstoke, the Paoiflq Express run into a big suowslule and hud to back oqt.

There is no tonic for the body like regular work of tlm mind,though this is unfortunately nol often appreciated or not allowed by llm physicians tu whom anxious mothers bike their growing diughters. There is nothing so sure to steady the nerves of the fretful and excitable child as regular seliool work in the liuiiils of a real teachor, Many a obild who is celebrated for dangerous tits of temper at home becomes entirely transformed under the influence of such u school, lill her nearest relatives would not recognize her if they should ever take time and trouble to visit the seliool room. I do not mean a school-room full of competitive examinations, of" marks," and of irrelevant inducements io make the child commit to memory a mass of unrelated and undigested foe's, I menu one where, without any inducement but the natural desire for knowledge, which is all-sufficient with any American child if it bo rightly directed, you find steady and well ordered labor, without haste, '.hough not without rest, and honest, thorough, ami pleasurable work. We may learn n lesson from ihis fact���for it is no theory���of the offeot of regular work on our tired nerve.yiiul wisesludl we lie if we apply it. Even the most consistent homaio- patliio physician could not object to this kind of ionic ; though he would tell you. ami truly, thut tonics are worse than of no use for overworked nerves. Coffee and Tea, The Newcastle Daily Ohronidt recently said io both, " teetotallers and tipplers," that a belter word for collee and tea was never spoken than that now heard from the physiologist Professor Heiin, Following up the researches of Oppler and Sucksdorf he establishes by many and careful experiments the powerful antiseptic properties of roasted coffee. He shews that cafeine, the active principle of colfee, is death to micro-organisms, that infusions of animal matter iu coffee may be exposed to the air without gathering mould, that the baccilli of cholera cannot live in coffee, and that, under its influence, the microbes, generated in pus perish forthwith. The good result of collee in cases of typhoid fever have been long known, but they have been attributed to the tonic effects of the cafeine on the nervous system. By Helm's showing, however, the said results are largely due to the antiseptic properties of collee. The same properties, if lo a less degree, are attributed to theine, the active principle ot tea. In this connection we may remind our readers of the resume we lately gave of (laltier's experiments, showing that the disease giving microbes can live and thrive in alcoholic drinks." The Power of Will in Disease. This is the subject of a recent and somewhat lengthy editorial in the Medical News. Tlie editor say? : The manure of the soi[ nourishing these delusions is a truth too often ignored and negleclcil by scientific medicine. It is the truth of the power of the emotions, of the will���of the spirit, if you please���over the flesh, of life over the beginning of diseases and even over disease and death itself. Races and nations dilfer greatly in their power of resisting and overcoming disease, simply by reason of the characteristic attitude of the will and disposition of the patient toward the physical illness, dust so do all, even brothers, differ in tlie same way. Thousands are physically sick because montal resolution and spiritual domination are weak and illogical. Tliis is strikingly true in reference to the beginnings of disease. The secret of continuous good health does not always consist merely in physical resistance or robustness, but in sharply conquering the subtle beginnings of corporeal abnormity by pin,, will power. There aie two homologtiesof t bis power t hat. ittustrnto it exactly. Who hus not seen whimsicality, crankness and oddity by self, indulgence slowly degenerate into monomania, and even into downright insanity ': And, again, who can doubt that in the commencement many such persons are perfectly conscious of tbe abnormal tendency, and are moreover perfectly capable nf not doing the miculousor self-forgetful things? They ure at Iirst driven by no imperious necessity, It is precisely so when onegives way to immoral courses of life. At iirst the voiceof conscience is clear ;by-and-bycontrol is losl and the voice is entirely silent. The analogies obtain iu the matter nt health. The adage, " Resist the beginning of evil," holds also here.

Nearly every one who has had long and active employment in the retail flower stores can show numerous scars, ami it, is common in busy Broadway shops and other large places in the trade to see a proprietor or several ol his assistants with bandaged lingers. Tlie thorns of roses cause the greatest mischief. Florists ascribe their most serious hurts to poison absorbed in hothouse productions which have undergone a strong vermin-killing process. A number of tlie dealers infer that, after many applications, the juicy parts of the plants become impregnated with poison; for, although in the course of arranging flowers for sale the stems gel well washed, the slightest thorn- punctures or scratches will cause tedious uncomfortable sores, Similar bad effects at times attend the stemming of llowers; that of wisps to short cutting to make needed lengths in constructing bouquets or large forms of decoration. In this work, thin, thread-like wire is used for binding the lengths together. This wire is in pieces about six inches long and neaily as sharp as needles.

In response to a question, an old florist remarked: " I don't know lhat any one ever suffered lockjaw from these wounds, butl'veseen a good many chaps' jaws loosened pretty well to givo vent to unprintable expletives called forth by these harrowing, tiny stabs," Lord Selkirk as a Colonist. Lord Selkirk's was a practical soul. On one occasion in animadverting agaiust the North-VVest Company he Bpoke of them contemptuously as fur-traders, yet he wa the chief of all fur-traders, and had been known to barter with an Indian himself at one of the forts for a fur. He held up tlie opposition to the scorn of the world as pro- fitting upon the weakness of the Indians by giving them alcohol, yet he ordered distil- leties set up in his colonyafterwurds, saying ���" We grant the trade is iniquitous, but if we don't carry it on others will; so we may as well put the guineas in our own pockets." But lie was the man ot thc moment, if not for it. His scheme for colonization-was born of desperation on one side and distress on the other. It wis pursued amid terrible hardship and against incessant violence, It was consummated through bloodshed. The story is as interesting as it is important. The facts are obtained mainly from " Papers relating to the Red River Settlement, ordered to ho printed by the House of Commons, July 12th, 1819." Lord Selkirk owned 40,000 of the ��105,- 000 (or shares) of the Hudson Bay Company; therefore, since ���.'5,000 were held by women and children, he held half of all thut carried votes. He got from the company a grant of a large tract around what is now Winnipeg, to form an agricultural settlement for supplying the company's posts with provisions. We have seen how little disposed its officer.-) were tr pen the land to settlers, or to test its agricultural capacities. No one, therefore, will wonder that when this grant was made several members Popular Superstition Concerning the Malignant Glance. Iii .411 lands the Atisurd llcllcf Holds Sway Hltcll urll Attributable tol uri-to-inl- iied Hypnotic Force. There is no superstitious belief of the human race which is so widely held as the belief in the existence aud malevolent power of the evil eye. Il is everywhere known and finds a place in the folk-lore of all nations. The apparent cause is always the same���that power of fascination by the human eye which is now known as hypnotic force, which a primitive age could imagine to be nothing but a demon residing in and speaking from the human eye. So forcible did this thought seem to the mind of the ancients that the eye and the soul were convertible terms in ancient magic. Even iu this day of advanced human knowledge there are many things connected with the influence of mind upon mind that aro not fully understood, hence it is uo wonder that they proved tbe possession of demoniac powers to the mind of him who attributed everything which ho could not understand to Boino supernatural agency. If the thing was not only mysterious but bewildering the first thought was lo attribute it to diabolism of some kind. If the influence went so far as to control the will of another, then it became witchcraft, and thconoexcrcising it was a witch. Take tlie ordinary phenomena known years ago as mesmci ism or animal magnetism, and now know as hypnotism. It is a mistake to suppose, as many do, that they are a new thing in human progress. The ancients hud not reduced them to a science, but there were men in the days of old who had, as men have now, in a high degree what is kuown as thc magnetic power. There were men then, as now who could bend the will of others to their own and make them mere puppets to do their wilt. This power was a mystery lo them as it is to us, and they labored under the disadvantage of having theories about the supernatural w hich made it impossible for them to arrive at a true conclusion. THE (1LEAMIN0 EYE OF TIIK, OEAII. Everywhere was the belief that the souls of the dead could enter intoand animate the living. Their essence was considered as controlling these into whom they entered, and the sign of their presence was the glittering eye, something like that with which the ancient mariner holds "the wedding guest" in Coleridge's "Rime." This glittering eye, in the great or the small, were counted as sure marks of an indwelling presence. In the great it was divine ; in the mean it was tlie sure sign of au evil eye. or, in other words, a demoniac possession, In like manner the glitter in the eyes of the good indicated the possession of beneficient virtues, while the same glitter in the eyes of the malevolent indicated malefioient diabolism. The key to the theory is the possession of that power known as fasciuatiou, whereby a mere look makes one man ready to do the will of another instead of his own. This power in the eye in all folk-lore is attributed to either souls or demons, which are supposed to swarm around us in almost iulinite numbers. These souls are everywhere, and a large proportion of them are not only supposed to be malevolent, but to be possessed of considerable power for working ill to those who offend them.

Travellers who knew of the belief were often amused to see people kneeling to receive the pope's blessing, and at the same time holding the fingers forked to break the maleficent power ol his glance. When Pius IX. gave up his liberal theories and fell back to the old, accustomed methods of government there was an abundance of liberals who took it as a proof positive that he was possessed of an evil spirit. One of the remarkable things about this superstition is that it is often attributed to whole peoples by other who dislike or hate them. In ancient times the Thebans, the Illyrains, and the Thraoian women were so regarded. In these latter days the Christians of Asia Minor have the same feeling about the Turds, and the Turks about the Christians. Indeed, among the followers of Ma- hommod tho same feeling exists between the Schiites and the Sunnites, But Christians and Turks agree in attributing the like mal- euolant power to the gypsies and the Jews. Among a good many nations what the Scotch call "forespcaking" is regarded as a sure sign that thai person lias an evil eye, and is, therefore, to be carefully avoided. To forespcak is to praise any person or tiling extravagantly. In upper Ciirniolu if you tried to please by praising everything you would only succeed in convincing people that you ivere very bad indeed. The same is true of the Neapolitans and iu several others of tho Italian provinces. This idea, like the other, dates back toold heathen beliefs, for the ancients taught that extravagant praise was a proof that the person giving it was a despised enemy of the gods and in league with tlie powers of evil. Accordingly in southern Europe, where the Roman heathen worship has left its most numerous marks, it has even proved dangerous for travelers to gaze intently at little children or to praise them strongly. On seeing such an act hy a foreigner the anxious mother spits in the child's face to counteract the spell. Such a gaze directed to the woman herself is just as much resented, aud often the woman will spite in her own bosom, if she docs not show her indignation by other methods, of which a good, round cursing is one of the regular forms. No doubt all of this seems to our readers "a good deal ridiculous," but it has left its marks on the civilization of the world and even upon ours. For instance, the next time you see a red light or a red Hug at a railroad station, please remember that the adoption of red as danger signal is primarily owing to thc very old belief in the evil eye. Maliommedanism in Liverpool. Mr. Quilliam, of Liverpool,'leader of the Moslem party in England, who lust year had an audience of the Sultan in reference to providing for tho wants of the Mahom- medaus in this country, confirms the report thut Moslems in Burinah, Rritish India, and other large centres arc aiding the Liverpool Muhommedans by sucscribing to the proposed building , of a religious edifice to supersede the temporary mosque in Liverpool. It is also intended to build in Liverpool a moslem college, to be under the immediate superinteneucc of thc officers of the congregation, and having for the principal Professor Karl Falkner, of the Universities ot Basle and Zurich. It is pointed out that many Mahcminoilans in Turkey, India. Syria, Egypt, and the British colonies on the West Coast of Africa desire to give their children a goodeduoalion, but hesitate to send them to Europe lest they should bo influenced in their religious views. The college will adjoin the now mosque, and religious exercises will form part of the programme. It is also intended to purchase laud for a .Moslem cemetery in Liverpool.

It is especially important to Canadians to study thc development of the institutions of the United States, with the view of taking advantage of their useful experiences and avoiding the defects that arc inherent in their system. All institutions are more or less on trial in a country like Canada whioh is working out important problems of political science, under decided advantages, since the ground is relatively new and tho people have before them all the experiences of tho world, especially of Knglaud and of the United States, in whose systems Canadians have naturally the deepest interest. Thc history of responsible or parliamentary government affords another illustration of a truth which stands out clear in the history of nations, that those constitutions which of a flexible character, and the natural growth of the experience of centuries, and which have been created by the necessities and conditions of the timt-B, possess the elements of real stability and best insure the pros perity of a DOODle. The tareat snnrnA nf tv perity of a people, Tlio great source of the strength of the institutions of the United States lies in the fuct.that they have worked out their government in accordance with certain principles which are essentially English in their origin, and have been naturally developed since their foundation as colonial settlements, and what weaknesses their system shows have chiefly arisen from new methods, and from thc rigidity of thei constitutional rules of law which separate too closely the executive and the legislative branches of government. The system that prevails in the United States divides all the powers of government among so many authorities, and places so many checks on each that responsibility is weakened, and the unity and effective operation of government seriously impaired. Parliamentary government, briefly speaking, is a system of responsibility to the Crown or its representative, aud to the Legislature, which is practically supreme during its legal existence, only controlled hy the prerogative right of the Crown to dismiss its advisers and dissolve the parliament on occasions of grave public necessity. Congressional government is a system under which Congress controls legislation, and administration in essential respects, by means of its numerous committees, without the enormous advantage of having advisers of the executive���that is, of the president���to direct legislation and otherwise control the practical operation of Mv.fn�����i mi- n���-Ji��� PaulMoCo-mick, a wealthy resident of I government.

Tlie special advantages of the Canadian or English system of parliamentary government may be briefly summed up. The Governor-General���or a lieutenant-governor of a province���his cabinet, and the people's house, are governed in Canada as in England, by a system of rules, conventions and understandings whichenublethem to work in harmony with one another. The Crown, the cabinet, the legislature and the people have respectively certain rights and powers which, when properly and constitutionally brought into operation, give strength and elasticity to our system of government. Dismissal of a ministry by the Crown under grave conditions, or resignation of a minis- j try defeated in thcpnpular house, bring into play the prerogative ot the Crown. In all cases there must be a ministry to advise thc Crown, assume responsibility for its acts and obtain the support of the people and their representatives in Parliament, As a t, last resort, to bring into harmony the pco- to Whioh the pj0) fat legislature and the Crown, there *" '"���' b^ad j9 tlm exercise of the supreme prerogative of dissolution. A governor, acting always under the advice of responsible ministers, may, at any time, generally speaking, grant an appeal to the people to lest their opinion on vital public questions and bring the lcg- '-'���itive into accord wilb the public mind. iects ollice, ^^^^^^^^^^ In the Canadian system the Speaker is a functionary, who, whatever may he his parly proclivities, discharges his duties in the chair in a spirit of justice and impartiality. Responsible government makes the premier and his ministers responsible for the constitution of the committees of Parliament, and for the opinions and decisions that may emanate from them. A government that would constantly endeavor to shift its responsibilities on committees even of their own selection would soon disappear from the Treasury benches. Responsibility in legislation is accordingly ensured, financial measures prevented from being made the foot-balls of ambitious and irresponsible politicians, and the impartiality and dignity of the speakership guaranteed, by the presence in Parliament of a Cabinet having tho direction and supervision of business. On the other hand, in the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is forced to become from the very nature of circumslunces a political leader, and the speetaclo is presented, so strange to us familiar with English methods, of decisions given by him with clearly party objects, and nf committees formed by him wilb purely political aims. And all this lowering of tlie dignity of the chair is duo to the absence of a responsible minister to lead the House. The very position which the Speaker is forced to take from time to time, is clearly tho result of tlie defects of the constitutional system of the United States, and is so much evidence that a responsible party leader is an absolute necessity in Congress. A legislature must be led, a Congress has been attempting to get out of a crucial difficulty by all sorts of questionable shifts which only show the inherent weakness of the existing system. As compared with the American system, tho great advantages of English or Canadian respousible government lie in the interest created among all classes of people by the discussions of thc different legislative bodies. Parliamentary debate involves the fate of cabinets, and the public mind is consequently led to study all issues of importance. But under the presidential government a nation has, except at thc electing moment, no influence; it has not the ballot box before it; its virtue is gone, and it must wait till its instant of despotism again returns. The debates in Congress "aro prologues without a play." The prize of power is not in tlie gift of the Legislature. No presidential country "needs to form daily, delicate opinions or is helped informing them." Then when the people do go to the ballot box, they cannot intelligently influence the policy of lho government. If they vote for a president, then Congress may have a policy quite different from his; if they vote for members ot Con- gross, they cannot change the opinions of the President. If the President changes his Cabinet at any time they have nothing to say about it; for its members are not important as wheels in the Legislative machinery. Congress may pass a bill���the McKinley bill j for instance, of which the people express their disapproval at the first opportunity when they choose a new Congress; but still the measure may remain on the statute book for years because the Senate holds views different from the newly elected House, and cannot be politically changed until after a long series of legislative elections. When men feel and know that tho ability they show in Parliament may be sooner or later rewarded by a seat on the Treasury benches and that they will then havo a determining voice in the government of the lountry, be it Dominion or province, they must be stimulated by a keener aptitude for public life, a closer watchfulness over legislation | and administration, a greater readiness for discussing all public questions, and a more studied appreciation of public opinion outside the legislative hall. Every man in Parliament is a premier in posse. The members of a Parliament excluded from office can never be comparable, much less equal, to those of a Parliament not excluded from office. Professors Bryce, Woodrow, Wilson, Denslow, Mr. Bagehot, Mr. Oliver Mowat and other writers and thinkers in England, Canada and the United States, show that, while responsible government educates office-holders into a sense of their accountability lo the people and trains men in legislation and administration, the system of congressional govornment prevents lho capacity of the host members of the House of Representatives from being brought to bear upon anyone piece of legislation, however important; cramps debate, lessens the cohesion and harmony of legislation, gives facilities for the exercise ' of iindorliand, and even corrupt, influence ; reduces responsibility, and lowers tho interest of tiie nation in the proceedings of the legislature Men iu Congress arc " condemned to be architects without science, critics without experience, censors without responsibility." Due writer says, too, of the Irresponsible system of congressional committees thai " this is an arrangement so fruitful of corruption and jobbery that it mea- muke irre- .,,,.- ana.'iuBH uecomes tbe controlling part of the political machinery of the state. N�� such thing as unity of policy is possible under a system which gives the Presidenl neither the dignity of a Governor-General, nor the strength of a Premier, and splits up political poweramong any number of would- be party leaders, who adopt or defeat sines by private intrigues and sponsible recommendations, In short, said Dr. Bourinot in conclusion, under a system like that of Canada, whera every defect in the body politic is probed to thc bottom in tlie debates of Parliament, which arc given with a fullness by the press that is not the practice iu the neighboring republic, the people have a better opportunity of forming a correct judgment on every matter, and giving an immediate and conclusive verdict when the proper time comes for an appeal to themselves, the sovereign power under the Canadian political constitution. Sometimes this judgment is too often swayed by party prejudices, and the real issue obscured by skilful party management, but this is inevitable under every system of popular government; and, happily, should it come lo the worst, there is always in the country th it saving remnant of intelligent, independ cut men who can come forward and by their fearless and bold criticism and patriotic attitude help the people in any crisis whc�� truth, honor and justice are at stake. Should men in power be unfaithful to their publit obligations, they will soon be forced by the conditions of public life to yield their posi- ticiis to those who merit public confidence. Whatever may be the blots at times on th�� surface of the body politic there is yet ua reason to belbve that the public conscience of Canada is weak and indifferent to character and integrity in active politics. The instincts of a people, governed by English ir. stitutions, are in the direction of the pure administration of justice and the efficient and honest government of the country, and thc time of retribution and purification will come sooner or later. English methods must prevail in countries governed by English people and English institutions. It is sometimes said���thoughtlessly, it is to b�� hoped���that it is vain to expect a high ideal in public life���that the same principles that apply to social and public life cannot always be applied to the political arena if party government is to succeed ; but this is the doctrine of the mere party manager. The nobler the object, the greater should be the inspiration ; and under any circumstances it is better to aim high than to sink low. A constitution may be as perfect as human agencies can make it, and yet be relatively worthless while the large responsibilities and powers entrusted to the governing body for the time being���responsibilities and powers not embodied in acts of Parliament���are forgotten in view of party triumph or of personal ambition or of pecuniary gain, "Thc laws,"said Burke, "reach but a very little w.ay. Constitute government how you please, infinitely the gieater part of it must depend upon the exercise of powers, which are left at large to the prudence and uprightness of ministers of state. Even all the use and potency of the law depend upon them. Without them your commonwealth is no better than a scheme upon paper, and not a living active effective organization." Dr, Burinot then concluded by quoting tho following lines from a well known Canadian poet :��� " As yet thc waxen mould is soft, the opening page is fair. Uresis with those who rule us now to leave thoir impress there, The stamp of true nobility, high honor, stainless truth; The earnest quest of noble ends; the generous heart or youth; The love of country, soaring far above dull parly strife; The love of teaming, art and song ini? grace of life; The love of science, soarint, far thrOUgl lure's bidden ways: Tho love uiid fear of Nature's god���a nation's hi-thest praise. Soin lho long hereaf:' r this Canada shall be The worth y heir of Urn i.-h power and Uritish liberty." -thc crown- na- In short, the fundamental principle of popm ! would drag down and corrupt the purest lar sovereignty tics at Ihe very basis of the ! and ablest body of men iu the world "-a Canadian system. On the other hand, in statement which men who find fault witii the United States the President and his tho Canadian system should ponder well Cabinet may be in constant conflict with I Parly Govern nt, undoubtedly lias its the two Houses of Congress during ' dangers arising from personal ambition nnd tne tour years of Ins term of offloo, unscrupulous partisanship | but as long ai His Cabinet has no direct influence moninust and willrangothomselvesiuoppoj. with the legislative bodies, since they have ing camps on every subject, there ia no othor no seals therein, unit the political complex- system practicable by which weal questions ion of Congress does not direct their tenure can bu curried und the working of reproof office, since thoy depend only on the favor sonlative governments ellicienlly conduct- and approval of the Executive.

One of the most noted women in the Dominion has just died. Cleophee Tetu, Sister Theresc, as she was commonly called, was the daughter of a French-Canadian notary. She entered the order of Sisters of Providence when 20, in 1844. Eight years later she was sent with another nun to relieve the spiritual and temporal wants ot Indians in the far West, her travels on that occasion including a journey on horseback almost to the Pacific coast in a region where no white women had beon before. So great was her success that in 1K57 she was sent to Chili to found an asylum in Valparaiso for abandoned children. In 1866 she was brought buck to Montreal and made General Treasurer of tlio whole order, and soon after laid the foundation of the Immense insane asylum whioh was burned down with 100 of Its Inmates early last your. Sister Thercse was mother superior of this establishment till her death, ami, uii hough the system of treatment I here was by no means up to date, her general management proved her to be a woman of extraordinary capacity and com. mamling Influence, she had au extraordinary power over furious patients.

It is nliRolutely necessary that, tbe river (should be confined to its old course, otherwise a considerable acreage of land will be lost to the townsite by being converted into nu island. We drew attention to the dangerous position of the smelter mpntlis ago, but ub no notice wus taken we concluded that the Smelting Company intended leaving it to its fate. Mr. Mara should be strongly impressed with the importance of this matter to the whole town, and he should make an effort to prevent the procrastinating policy adopted by the Government in one or two other matters concerning Eevelstoke, The Hot Shungs News says land registry oflices should be established iu the inland districts���one at Kamloops for the Yule district, one at pome convenient point for Lillooet and Cariboo, and one at Iievelstoke for the two Kootenays���there beiug but two at present to serve tbe needs of the whole province, one in Victoria and the other in'New'Westminster. This sensible suggestion should be acted upon at once. There is a great deal of inconvenience in the present system, which will be intensified a hundredfold in this district when the vast immigration into our mining sectionsmaterializes, Probably the 'Govern ment may only require to have this anomaly brought before their police to remedy it. There arc S'20() post-offices in thu Dominion of Canada. Of these 1801) ure money order offices, and the comparatively small number of 1SS have savings banks iu connection, 16 of them being in British Columbia, aud amongst those 13 ure Asbcrol't, Lad- ner's Landing, Nicola Lake, Port Hamilton, Quamicliati, Chilliwiiclt, and Kamloops. M'i- havs none here, but we should think, in view of tho great influx anticipated this summer, that it Would be a wise proceeding on thc part of tbe authorities to establish a branch forthwith, Tho amount of business done in the money' order department at Iievelstoke is, we believe, ponsiderably in excess of that transacted in tbe majority of towns of !|ie same, and even larger, population. The machinery of tho post-office pavings bank is too slow to be of muph benefit to business men, but there are, or will be, many young men, and married men too, who would b'p glad of the opportunity to put a ten or twenty dollar' bill in a safe place, for the trousers' pocket is not a safe place when' a young fellow has imbibed a few 'convivial drinks, and tho ten dollar bill is likely to evaporate in double-quick time, Should a person bs able to put in only ��10 a month, at the end) of the year be would have S120, not including the interest- enough to buy a couple of lots at present prices, or take a mouth's holiday to visit his friends "in the east. Having no bank here is'something of a hardship to those wbo are compelled to receive cheques in payment, and entails considerable loss in the shape of heavy discount, but we hope our increase of business this summer will be sufficient to warrant the establishment of a branch, either of tbe Bank of Montreal or the Bank of British Columbia. But thero is no need to wait longer for the establishment of a post-office savings bank. A petition to the Postmaster-. General would no doubt be acceded to. It would, of course, increase the work of the postmaster, but that gentleman would not object,' provided it also brought an increase of salary. 'We are looking to op or two of our prominent citizens te take this matter up, as uo one can deny that it will be of great benefit to the town at large. .9, t?X, -,-;���- ',>W Np'HOB OF SALE BY SHERIFF PURSUANT AGAINST TO EXECUTION LANDS ACT, 1874.
