St. Louis, March 20.—Parly yesterday morning masked men entered the house of Mr. and Mrs. John Putnam, near Trenton, Mo., on the Ohio & Mississippi Railway. Being dissatisfied with Hie I amount of money secured, the robbers maltreated the couple in a horrible man-1 ner. Two servant girls who came to tin '• rescue were similarly treated, being marched about the bouse in their nighl clothes, the robbers bul,ling cocked revolvers al their heals. When they bo came satisfied Putnam had no money In the house the rullians look the giri I to Iheir rooms and outraged them, then bound and gagged tbe occupants and set lire to the house and rode away. Luckily tho nre died and ibe lives nf the unfortunates were saved.

" To everything there is a season and :. time for every purpose under Heaven.'' fSo said tlio "wise iiion." and the experience of some thousands of years bus nit lioeii such as to invalidate the truth of this statement. Hut tbe great fault with a majority ot the people is tbnt tbev will not seize the opportunity when it presents j itself, and tbev take no thought nf time. How many neglected opportunities have we all had, and have taken no advantage of them? How many times have we neglected to do that which wo were persuaded would be for our own and other's good. And we let the time and season Blip by, and eventually we found to our B0WOW that a grievous mistake had been made, nnd wo, with the greatest alacrity, sprinkled ashes on our bends and put or Back cloth, and moaned and lamented for tho irrevocable, the " might have been." And when we allowed another polder opportunity to Blip by, we lei It Blip and ngnin returned in the bitterness of om hearts In our sack cloth nnd ashes. Well, it is human nature so to do. We suppose, and thus it probably will lie until the mil- Ionium bus overtaken ns. and we shall have attained that perfection of which we rend but unfortunately seldom see. It might seem superfluous to sav that there is no time like the present to effcel reforms or to inaugurate improvements. ■whether ns applied lo men or things. We liavo tried to the host oi our ability to do this city good and not barm by our discussion oiany subject that appertained to Knnaimo's welfare. \Vo believe In the future of the Pacific Province, and wc believe in the future of its cities. Tt has been tlio experience of men of practical views, men ot hard common sense, men who wore alive to the best interests oi their individual towns or cities, flint one of the first considerations (or the growth and success of anv town wns the faith in the future, as shown hy the willingness of ils citizens to invest their enp- Ital and in other ways to endeavor to promote the welfare of their abiding places. There are, alas! newspapers who, in their ignorance, self-conceit, shortsightedness and utter forgelfulness, lose Right of everything but their own little, narrow, selfish ends, and which endeavor to retard the growth of a town and to keep it on a par with their own growth(?) and expansion. Put events move faster in I those days than over before, ami though ; people slid cling to the conservatism , of tlie past they must awaken to tho changed condition of filings 'There is no doubt that the moans of obtaining a livelihood become more cramped and narrowed as each generation goes by, but for all that, it should be no argument which men could seize as an excuse for their apparent increased selfishness. If it is true that each generation grows wiser; if the thoughts of nun arc widened with the process of the suns. surely we can hope (or something on n broader and more elevating scale, than characterized tho actions, aims and thoughts of our progenitors. Bocouse our ancestors wore rude nnd uncultivated, know nothing of tho finer Influences oi civilized life, does it follow that wo are A corrkspondknt of the Newcastle, (Eng ) Daily Chronicle of tlie 23rd January hnsa long letter in thai journal concerning flic eoal mines and the coal mining industry of Vancouver Island. While a considerable amount of the information furnished l.y this correspondent to the readers of Ihe Chronicle is cor- iv.-t in Ihe io,tin. there is much more which is entirely misleading; and tt savors of the writing of one who has been "stuffed," the parlies doing tlio "stuffing" no doubt having nn object in view. One of the statements made is that the •oal mining operations of this Island are likely to yield work to a groat many fresh hand;! during the present year, besides stimulating the enterprise of the capitalists in making further use of the vast mineral resources of this province. Wo sincerely trust that this is true, but in view of the present situation Is it wise to induce an influx of people who gi uorally arriving with little or no means, must, unless they procure employment, become public charges. We do not helievo in tho principle, while welcoming all who might coino, did certain means of sustenance bo assured them. Of course there Is n large iunntily of fine agricultural lands inn virgin slalc yet on this island, nnd to those who have pome means, comfortable homes could soon be theirs. But to artisans nnd "laborers" the situation Is different, and we do not believe it right, hut i-atber a gross nnd wicked wrong to induce people In emigrate this way. There are other grave inaccuracies from Ihe pen of this correspondent, bill they are so apparent ns not to need contradiction. Correspondents of foreign newspapers are loo often reckless in their statements, but they should not. nt nil events, bo too inaccurate and misleading. SURVEYORS.

Next to the long-suffering mother- in-law, the book agent probably Is made a target for more cheap wit, of the average newspaper variety, than nny other modern mortal, lie may 'deserve some of the opprobrium that is cast upon him, for bin persistence in the sale of his wares is not always of the gentle and winning variety, but after all we all inclined to consider him one of the benefactors of humanity. Subscription books, even if their contents are made to order, and thi-ir bindings are bhiefly cheap and glittering shoddy, arc better than no books at all. and many a house in America would lie as destitute of books ns a Zulu's kraal were it nol * ,r the insinuating blandishments of the peripatetic booksell, r, At any r, I , we arc cbnvinc d that he id ■ ■ of much better than he usually rec< i - from the public. Suppose I,.- does ring your door-bell, goo ' hoitsewil . when your hands are i:i the dough a:.?! your cakes are frying, he is at 1 ., il worthy of a | elite refusal, if you CO not wish his wares, rather than I n phorical slap in the face and an a- tual slam of the door. , A poor fellow who war, engaged in this business said to us the otn :.l day, "I can stand it no longer. I have been so often abused and ill-treated ' and snubbed and all but kicked down the steps that it has actually made me sick. I am afraid to ring the door-bells any longer, my feelings have been so often hurt. I know of no other way to earn an honest living, but I cannot keep ou at this business. If I wasn't 'a grown man, with a little of a man's pride left in me, I should go off and ' lie down and cry, as I sometimes did when a little boy." Very likely this was an extreme case of sensitiveness, • but we are convinced that more than one, if equally frank, would confess 'to the same experience. Wc'well re- ' member a wealthy and distinguished physician, whom we once observed as ,11c was approached by a book agent, .with the usual well committed tale concerning his books, "J thank yon," replied the gentlt man (for be was a .thorough gentleman.) "I thank yotl for giving me this opportunity to buy your book, but I really am so busy today that I have not time to examine its merits. Vou must excuse ms today." The book agent was so paralyzed by this unaccustomed treatment that he went away without another word. I Similar treatment on the part of our readers may produce cipi.iHv happy effects, AT A TAILOR'S.

'Oh, the sleeves are all right, Mr, Jissybud." 'Gad, but I'm glad to hcah yotl say -deuced gl.ul! Wouldn't the boys I the club guy me if they weren't! I'd wuined; y.-s, I would.
