The petition wns signed by :: number of friends nml opponents nf ibe government anil ill due time the new Premier put ill an appearance. Mr- Hnlliday's Sons had ia. 11.. ...a-....,;.....«...., itirougli lhe ilii- irit'i ami posted up notices calling tlie people tn the meeting, and Hallidny himself went to I loiiniiin Islnnd nml personally notified the residents there nf the great man's coining. Mr. laiibsnn arrived nl Don mall Islnnd on Friday, Oth inst., and met a number of settlers nu the wharf, to several nl whom he was Introduced by Ins Man Friday. Further Ihan escorting M:ss Coughlan, ibe school teacher on ihe Island, ashore—much in the chagrin of Purser Lindsay—he performed no public duty, and did lint even condescend to speak lo the residents on any one of the many questions in which thev ore interested. From Denman Island the Isabel proceeded to I'nion Bay, where she took on coal for the first lime from the Union mines. During the stoppage here. Mr. Robson was Introduced in ihe manager of tbe mines, Mr. Little, and during file course of a brief conversation inquired into the working of the mine and as to how the colored miners were getting along. Mr. Little was of the opinion that they would do very well lor a standby, and he was ndvi. id bv Mr. Robson tn get them registered ns quickly ns tho law would allow. Thc Isabel arrived at Comox at fl p. ni. and Mr. Robson was driven around Ihe settlement by Mr. Halliday, dining at j that gentleman's residence in the evening. The meeting, called at ,1 o'clock in tlie middle school house, wns attended by about IM) people. The chair was occupied by Mr. T. l'ierey, who Introduced Mr. Hobson, who began in his usual highllown style, dwelling for some lime on the prospects of the settlement ami remarking specially on the great change Hint hnd Inkeii place in the district since he bad been there last, which was at the time of the Biuister election, when be WHS defeated. Before proceeding lo business, he requested the settlers lo state I heir grievances. Messrs. Crapiliart, Millegan, Crawford, S. l'ierey and several others explained that tho principal Improvement tbey asked to have carried out was the construction of a road to tbe I'nion Mine. Tbey loudly complained about the milliner in which government agent Bentley I un I expended appropriations lor the district and asked for a correction of the j great abuses which he was responsible j for. advising the appointment of threei commissioners to assist the government BgOllt. Mi. Robson would not promise 1 I to appoint the three commissioners asked 'funis tlie course would be un unusual' ! one. He strongly recommended the set- 'Hers lo organise a municipality so that j tbey could handle tlseir own money. As ! to the riiiul to the I'nion Mines, if the. settlers agreed to allow one thousand; dollars trom the present appropriations J I to be used Ior 1 bat purpose, he would, promise Io see that it. was laid out to the best advantage and that he would get a I special grunt In complete it next year. J Taking ■■> memorandum out of his pocket, he lold the meeting thai the district Ior' the hiBt four years had received $14,000 i and the government In return had re- ceived 16,000 from the district. This, he claimed, was a fair showing for lhc gov- j eminent, und he thought the people had no right to complain of Iheir roads and, want of accommodation, Mr. Robb asked Mr. Kobson if he had | the particulars of expenditures und collect ions in nny other district, such us Cowichan. At this rather polite request Mr. Hobson became indignant, and told the questioner that he had not come here lo dis- cubs the whole government of tlie country, but only to hear the grievances of the people of Comox, and if he, Mr. Robb, would say much more, he (Robson) Would say something thai wonld lie disagreeable. The meeting appointed three of the set Here to look over the I'nion toad with Mr. Bentley, to lay it out to the best advantage. Mr. Robson promised to visit Comox again when the shooting season was on, or when an election was brewing. The meeting adjourned at 1:;!(). The general opinion here is thut the "honest one" is feeling his wny ue a candidate for Couiox, while a few think that tlie Victoria school teacher is becoming tired nf teaching the young idea how to shoot and will seek the bubble reputation through the ballot box.

LL—According to tbe NationalHeitun'g o( Berlin, which claims to have positive information on the subject, an agreement was reached at the recent conference between Emperor William and Lord Salisbury, which, to ull intents ami purposes, amounts to an alliance between Germany and England, although nn formal treaty'was concluded. A memorandum was drawn up covering Hie points upon which an understanding wns reached. Jt is certain that this memorandum provides fnr the contingency of u war iu which either nation might become involved, and de- lines the obligations assumed in such an event by the other. The German press seems to be quite generally agreed that so much has been accomplished, and some well informed newspapers even go so far ns to say that a treaty is in course of preparation. This, however, is probably incorrect. It is not believed here that Lord Salisbury would undertake to commit any future government of England to a programme outlined in such an agreement, and ns tbe agreement will have the force of a treaty so long as be holds the reins of power, Germany will lie satisfied witb a formal treaty. The French press is in a perfect ferment over this whole business and the opposition papers are chat'.'ing tbe government with having driven England into tbe aims of Germany by their foolish policy of irritating ber, notably in tbe refusal to sanction the Egyptian convention scheme upon whicli England had set ber heart, and iii repealed protests against British occupation in Egypt about whicli France need not have cared a button. Even so conservative an organ as /.« France while upholding Hie refusal of Spuller, foreign minister, in sanction tbe convention, still continues, the policy of irrita- talion lo which the government resorted in its treatment of England and expresses the fear tbat such a policy may yet drive the English into the triple alliance.

Editor Coibier:—Your report of my remarks on Sunday evening is so fear- fnllv garbled that in justice to uivself 1 must ask you for once to break the rule which you laid down in regard to vour editorials upon my sermons, and permit a few words in reply. I do not wish this for the sake of those who heard me, for I ' can trust their intelligence; but I deem it right to those who nere not present. '•We that are Btroug ought to bear the infirmities ofthe weak," was my text, and the following is an exact excerpt from what I bad written und what 1 read: "This principle nf Christian ethics applies to every phase of religious thought, word anil action. All through one's Christian career il says — since Christ pleased not himself, but cared so mack i for me I must also care for others * * * That oppression may be carried on within the limits of statute law, is well known. i But the statute law is not the standard of Christian conduct. Christian morality extends to tlie thoughts as well as to the words and actions, and Christian ethics cannot be confined within the bare re- Iqulrementa ofthe law of the land, bnt I must supplement that law as Christian j morality does, For example, itwould be 1 within the law for an employer of labor ' t.> bring foreigners here when crowds were going idle simply through scarcity j of work, and even lo reduce the wages of the employees when competition Tor work became" keen. But I maintain that such conduct is nol in Ihe spirit of the gospel of Jesus. The strong may compel me tn admit that be is strong; but it takes another course to convince me tbat he's using Ids strength in the spirit of Christian religion. When you look to tbe consequences and not to the single act tbere can be no hesitation in saying fl ii contrary to the spirit of ing text. Pleasing ourselves may mean oppressing our neighbours and "neighbour" is so wide a term and as comprehensive lo- day as when Jesus used it. If in His dav it could mean a despised and bated Ba- maritau, it is no stretch of it to-day to apply it to au employee or a tenant." How your reporter could associate that with your paper and any article tbat may hare appeared in its columns Icannotsee. But how you can upon it base such an article as you print this morning is only comprehensible to me upon one theory— Hint you had allowed the bitterness of your feelings to run away with your reason. But I trust that "with the exact words before you, you will take such an honourable course as gentlemen follow when they are shown to be completely, if not grossly, in error. The remainder of your two articles I must pass over at this time, though tbey are almost as far from being a fair statement of what I read. But having shown the inaccuracy of your reporter in the one instance, I may leave your readers free to trust bim in lhe rest us far as he deserves. Yours, Ac, JlMEH Mil I.Alt. Aug. llllb. Editor Coirier ;—Will you allow me space in wbich to express thc extreme disgust of myself and also of those persons who sat more iuunedi uelv around me at the I. O. G. f. concert, (held on Monday evening at the Institute) at being forced to listen to a would-be peculiar-- but in reality deadly dull—harangue de- livcrcal by the Rev. Mr. Millar, ot the Presbyterian Church in Nanainio, the burden nf which appeared to he that electors should select candidates for parliamentary and civic honors on the sole qualification tliat they 'the candidates) eschew vinous and spirituous liquors and cleave to water, simple, if occasionally impure. Tlie narrow-minded absurdity ot this puerile proposition must be apparent to everyone over say 10 or 12 years of age. I am given to understand, on the most unimpeachable authority, tliat not many weeks ago this self-constituted "dictator of morals" was to be seen daily enjoying his meals in the principal hotel in your little town. "Consistency, thou art a jewel." Why did this reverend gentleman not go to seme temperance boarding house ? Shall I answer for him, Mr. Editor? Why. because in real, everyday life, the ordinary mortal—whether liis cont be black or grey, finds it an impossible matter to make theorv and practice square. Because tbeempty stomach cries "give, give." Whilst the palate adds "let that given be of a quality which is the best obtainable." Those' of us who have resided in the Northwest Territory, where prohibition is enforced, know well bow great is the amount of drunkenness everywhere to be met'with in that favored section of Canada.

Hu iv plied: "The wound has been healed these many years, though often now it seems to bleed afresh; but my storv uow I will tell. "I was born in tho northern purt id Vermont. My father was a farniei. and as I was the only child, my father gave me tho homestead. He died .{iiito young and tlm care of tho farm devolved on me. My mother soon became lamo and unable to do llio work, and I resolved to marry. Dear Louisu, u farmer's daughter who lived hut a few miles away, wus lhe 0110 to whom 1 gave my heart and band, and, indeed, she was worthy n. tho love of any man. My mother soon after died, and we laid her besido hor husband in tho churchyard. "Two children were born to us, Tommy und Louisa, Wo watched over them in their infancy, and loved thom dearly. Tommy was 7, and Louie, as wo called her, was 5. School was to commence the next Mouday, and us thoy had never been lo school, wo made arrangements lo send them. The schoolhouso was about one-luilf a milo oil', beyond a piece of woods. I went with them tho first and second day, and met Ihem at night, as thoy were afraid to go through tho woods alone; but tho third day Tommy said, 'Papa need not go with us any more, wo can go alone.' I granted their wish, and soon saw them disappear, goiug toward tho schoolhouse, swinging tlieir littlo dinnerpails. "They had been gone but a few minutes. I had taken up my ax, and wus about commencing to cut somo wood. I heard littlo Tommy scream; '0 dear, papal 0 dour, papal' burst upon my ears; and ut tho same moment 1 heard littlo Lulie cull mamma, mammal It is needless to say that 1 rushed to their reseuo, tightly grasping my iix. In one minuto I saw two wolves tearing my dear children to pieces. With nn unearthly yell, I rushed upon them. Ono left my child und sprung upon mc; ho lay dead tho next instant. I sprang upon the oilier that was tearing tho llesh from tho cheek of my little girl; but ho ran swiftly away. Poor little Lulie was dead; littlo Tommy raised his torn and bloody hand, and faintly said: '0 papa, I wish you come forel' It was his last words; iu a few momenta ho breathed his last. I look my dear ones in my arms, and curried tliem to my house. My wifo was at tho barn. I lay them on tho bed; my wife soon camo in. She looked upon her chil dren, uttered a fearful wail of sorrow, aud fell almost lifeless upon tho floor! Tho shock was too much for hor, and indeed, more than many mothers could have stood, and within one month sho died a raving maniac. She sleeps in Vermont beside her dear babes sho loved so well." Wlien he had finished his story there was not a dry oye in tho camp, and for some time not a word was spoken. But tho evening was far spent, and we soon retired to our bods to dream over tho events of tho day. —Thomas A. Crabtreo in Lew- iston Journal. The) CannU of Mars.

Several hypotheses havo been presented, none of whicli appeal's entirely to meet the case. I havo already "remarked that thero has not been lucking tho suggestion thut theso curious streaks represent tho lines of actual artificial water courses on Mars. Tho straight and undeviuting course which thoy pursue might be regarded as lending some degree of probability lo such n view; but tho enormous scale on which they oxist seems lo compel llio rejection of tho hypothesis. It is true flint, if wo consider only tho influence of the forco of* gravity on Mors, giants could dwell upon thnt planet whose tnoi'linnioal achievements might vastly surpass tho greatest performances of our engineers) for a body weigh ino; a ton on the earth would veigli only seventy hundred and sixty pounds on Mare, nnd, on the other hand, a man on Mors possessing relatively the samo activity as one of us might be fifteen feot tall and strong in proportion. But, even granting tho existence of such a race ot Qoliaths on our neighbor world, it is not conceivable that they could havo constructed a system of tremendouscanals over half llio surface of their planet, or that they would bavo done it if they could. Tho canals of Mars aro enormously disproportioned in magnitude to the most gigantic inhabitants that a due regard for the law of gravitation would suffer us to imagine there.— Garrett P.

Collis Jrowne'i Chlorodyne. has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy uf general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and judging from their salet we fancy their lojum there will be but evanescent. We could multiply instances infinitum of the extraordinary efllcacy uf Dr. Collis Browne'l Chlorodyne in Diarrho-*, and 2nd Dysentery Spasms, Cramp*. Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and a*.. general Sedative, that have otcirrec. und*.f our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even if the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its controlling power. We have never used -iny other foim of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm _ conviction that it is decidedly the best, and ; NPW P"RTTTT ST(YR"F The Nanaimo Pharmacy COMMERCIAL STREET.
