JOHN MAHRER, Nanaimo, P.. C, alky Utfyim | FARNII.I. A DURESS ICS AN IHISII OKPUTATION. London May 23.—A deputation from the Irish Municipal Councils waited on Parnell this evening.and presented him with an address congratulating bim on being relieved of the calumnies with which he had been charged. The address declared that the special commission had already proved him innocent of the charges. Parnell thanked the deputation for the address, and advised the Councils to continue to use their privileges, not for the purpose of disintegration of the Empire, nor for upsetting the authority of the Queen; but for helping Ireland to obtain a realization of her legitimate aspirations. He said he never doubted the ultimate disproof of thc forged letters. He would rather have gone to bis grave with the1 stigma of the letters upon him than have submitted Ireland to the humiliation oi the ordeal which it was proposed to place upon her, as an accompaniment to tbe enquiry into their authenticity. "Right," said Mr. Parnell, "has been transgressed under a pretext of enquiry into crime. Political issues have been laid before men Incompetent to render a fair decision." Mr. Parnell said he had never contemplated the failure of Parliamentary action for Ireland's relief. "If I was convinced of its futility," said lie, "I and my colleagues would not remain in the House of Commons a day." rt ETHER KVrDKNCS ON PARNELL COMMISSION. London, May 29.—Mr. Gladstone was present to-day at the session of the Parnell Commission. The cross-examination of Wm. O'Brien wns continued. The witness said thut United Ireland had advocated nothing but peaceful means in Ireland's struggle against landlordism. Mr. O'Brien admitted writing and printing in his paper, that Queen Victoria was only known to Ireland by her scarcely decently disguised hatred of Ireland, and by her inordinate salary. And also that Earl Spencer would be thc last strong Englishman who would attempt to rule Ireland hy means of barbarism, pelil perjury, butchery, and the use of the rope. He also admitted writing that the Chairman of the Committee on thc occasion of the reception to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, when the later visited Ireland some years ago, would be hunted from public life. atr. O'Brien here excitedlv exclaimed :— "He has been driven from public life, and rather than allow Englishmen to be deceived by a show of shaui loyalty, I resolved to tall them the truth. I never ts^otn^r^^j^ continued the witness, "it is clear that England will not satisfy Ireland's aspirations, and if there is any rational chance of suceees, an attempt would be made on tbe part of the Irish to rebel." "The London papers," the witness declared were more responsible for the use of dynamite than the efforts of Messrs. Finnerty snd Patrick Ford. But for the views the London journals had expressed it would have been impossible to collect 110,000 in America for dynamite. The the witness' they were written, but he did not consider them justifiable in the present state of affairs. MUSTOCaATIC Tl'RF SCANDAL.

Editor Courier:—Many thanks for your editorial on "Gambling," which— but aB desperate diseases require desperate remedies—it may tie necessary in order to effect the object in view, to use lioth strong language and severe meos- ures, I quite agree with you that the people themselves must take the matter 'into their own hands, if it is to lie done at all. Some little time ago, some of the City Council collected nil the police force at their disposal, with tbe intention of raiding the gambling houses, but there was a "Judas" In their number, nnd when the officers reached what was to he the scene of their operations tbey found nothing but empty rooms, and bare tablet. Wc cannot shut our eyes to the fact that our present Council is either incompetent, negligent or worse. Their bye-laws are only a sham, they cannot prosecute the proprietors of a Wash-house for making a nuisance on the public strcot. They cannot prevent a builder from 'blocking up a street, though it endangers the lives ot the publle. While gambling houses, and bousesof prostitution are, allowed to carry on their nefarious! trade without let or hindrance. I 'see several notices of application for more licanses. Now, I believe if gambling were stopped, a good many of those houses at presentjicensed. would have to shut/ftp. WhoirVer loses at the gambling table, tbe landlord always wins. It is to hiava surer source of income than the miserable compound be sells for liquor. I believe some of our Aldermen are honest in their endeavors to legislate for the general good, while others can see nothing beyond their own private interests. Let us mark these /ail, and next year elect them to stay at home. ,, Randy Davidson.

We have been strongly urged try several of our readers to reply to a letter headed " The Attitude of thc San Francisco Press in re Esquimau," signed " Syntax," and which appeared in Wedneaday's issue of the Free Press— which letter purported lo he a scathing criticism of an article which appeared in our issue of the same ilay. Our own feeling in the mstter prompted us to merely smile when we read the letter in question; nor do we even now feel altogether satisfied tbat we are not insulting the public by rebutting the would-be adverse criticism of our contemporary's anonymous correspondent. He, the writer in question, surely assumes that tbe community in which he lives, must be entirely composed of ignorant, unlettered boors, when he—whoever he may be— dares to.set himself up as a teacher. Doubtless our article was more or less faulty in style; we make no pretence of super-literary ability. On the contrary, we gladly welcome honest criticism upon our expressed views. In this ease, ]n i w- ever, " a fool rushed in ■ where angels did no't choose to tread." We hope our readers will pardon the slight alteration wa have seen fit to make in Pope's immortal poem. And now let us proceed to examine for one moment this superlatively funny literary curiosity. II It serves no other purpose we shall at least get a hearty laugh, aud as so little occur* in our small world at which it is possible to even smile, we think this alone will afford us sufficient excuse for— to some extent—pushing this matter unduly forward, though our only purpose in so doing is to ask the public to decide as to the winner in the contest. The writer of the letter to the Free Press opens hie attack by stating that, in tha article criticised, we "spread" ourselves. Then he calmly accuses us of "writing slang," when we use the word "•top."' We are well aware that "flop" Is UBorthodox, but we used it as we use many other American words und expres- sions nol to be found in the Imperial Dictionary, because it expressed our meaning far' better than nny English synonym of which we were master. So muoh tor that charge. Next, the writer goes on to accuse us of "bad gramnicr, bad spelling, untenable assertions," etc. Ii any of our readers will take the trouble to compare our critic's letter with thc article criticised, we shall he a little more than satisfied' on the head of the, somewhat vague charge, of hud grammar. As lor the "untenable assertions"— that must remain more or less a matter of opinion. The ' instance oi laul spelling given, is our writing "iovrcombe" for "bun kuui" (sic!) Our answer is, we did not write "buncombe." What we did write, was "eu/icombe," and such is the spelling a person named Webstei adopts. True the great lexicographer did not know much about the correct spelling of words, yat we think all things considered, we •refer his opinion-on such a matter, to that of the person signing himself "Syntax," whp. insists, as we have pointed out, that it should be "bun hum." Next he asks, can any-one make sense of this sentence. "Thus,'the most influential— because the most widely read—portion of theprasiof the Pacific Coast." If our judges will again take tlie trouble lo read the context, we -think that like ourselves, they will be seized .with a perfect oacathts ridendi, at tbe egregious stupidity of this would-be Mentor. Again "Syntax" accuses us of speaking of "Acbili.es wounding some "her" in the heel." What we did say was that owing to her vast possessions, unless Great Britain occupied fortified positions in many parts of the world, "her enemies might easily wound her—AcHn.LES-like— is her vulnerable heel. Once more we how te oar audience, and await their verdict. Next, exception Is taken to our use of the words-" he of Great Britain, will stand shoulder to shoulder with he of the Ureal American Republic." Well! let " Syntax '} turn to Macaulev's Essay oa Wsstfuia Hahtinos, and he will, if we remember aright, find a sentence very similar, excepting the won In " American Republic." Granted Lord Macaulsy is allowed tobcaeonuuinmatc master oi " style," yet wbo knows but what " Syntax'' may be a ionium- mater II! We hope we do not weary our resderB, but we are' enjoying ourselves ao hugely, that perhaps we forget that others may tire of our analysis of tbe mental capacity of " Syntax." We have, however, osme to the " thirdly and lastly 'tai beloved brethren " part of our defease. We are told that it is incorrect ta say a "select navy," " Syntax " with superb effrontery—in- nn aside— says he is " ndt very obtuse," (but takes exception 'o " select navy," though not to a " select evening party." fjiin.vi Trrrcu, aad Nut-all each give ns the meaning of " selec'f "—"'chosen, picked out," etc. Now our knowledge of " select evening narties " is nil, so though we push no opinion on his (Syntax's) use of .the word, wvr hold that we ourselves were strictly within-its proper meaning. Wc coatees to a feeliug of latent shame, in that we have used, so to say. a ton hammer to crack a nut—yet we hold that if a nut hss to be cracked at all, it is as well to do the work thoroughly. Two famous representative men have lately favored the world with tlieir opinions concerning the "Gladstonian policy" and "Home Rule"—One, the great ex- Radical chieftain, Mr. Chamberlain, on whose shoulders has descended the mantle of John Bright—the other, Lord Brabotirne—than whom, (as all who know and love the mother country as do we ourselves, are aware, there exists no more disinterested, upright mini (aristocrat thoiHdi be be),throiighouttheEmpire. A man of whom Mr. Gladstqne might have said, aa he did say of Lord Hartington, a "very prince of honor, and the flower of chivalry." We give Mr. Chamberlain's views upon the question lirst. They were embodied in aletter sent to an Islington Unionist :— "It is perfectly true that, in 1885, Mr. Chamberlain was nt variance with Lord Hartington—us, indeed, he waa with many other I.iberals--iu reference to what was culled the 'unauthorized programme.' At that time Mr. Chamberlain was pressing (or Liberal reforms, which have since beon adopted by the Liberal party generally, but which at that time received very little support either from Mr. Gladstone or anyone else. In answering your questions, Mr. Chamberlain would urge the desirability of bringing your opponents to discuss the merits of the question, instead of attempting to divert the issue by personal attacks. The real points to be determined are, What iB the present policy of the Gladstonian party, and is it a wise and just one? If vou pursue these inquiries, you will find that the Gladston- ians ore following their leader blindly, and that they have uot the least idea where be is taking them. Tbey cannot say bow the representative of Iretantl at Westminster is to be maintained; nor what"is to be the treatment of Ulster; nor Ijflw the land question is to be dealt with; nor in what way the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament is to bo preserved. Yet these are all questions of principle, and on their determination depends entirely the wisdom of any Irish policy. It is contrary to the flrst principles of Liberalism for men to yield their judgment in this abject way, and to promote the success of a party in absolute ignorance of the policy to which thnt success is to lead."

Iii reply to a Blackburn correspondent, Lord Brabourne sends the following letter:—"3, Queen Anne's-gate, London, S. W., April 1881). Sir,—I left Mr, Gladstone's party in 1880-1 because 1 felt sure that his (then) new Irish policy would land him where it has done—viz., in the arms of the so-called Nationalist party in Ireland, which founded itself upon abuse of Great Britain, and separation. If that party'has changed, it has given the lie to all its protestations against the Saxon previous to Mr. Gladstone's alteration of policy. Ho far as 1 know, Mr. Gladstone bus 110 Home Utile proposals now. He made proposals in 1886 which dissatisfied the country and broke up bis party. In my opinion the same thing would occur again if he should make definite proposals for Home Rule legislation, and therefore he keeps any such in the background, and prefers to talk vaguely of Home Rule being the'union of hearts,'and to hint nt great resnltB which would follow his renewed power to experimentalize where he lias so signally failed before. The Liberal party should be the progressive party, and Home Rule—I. c. the separation of the one great Parliament of the Empire—would not he progressive, but retrograde; and as such every true Liberal should, in my view, oppose it. Extended local government is another thing altogether." P. GABLE, Cigar:-: Manufacturer, Bastion St., Nanaimo, b c. Smoke the celebrated "Na- " naimo Enterprise" cigar. Best in the Market.

Lire today and trust to-morrow. "Should I love?" the maid replies j "Lore steals youth, brings tears and sigh*. Liberty Is far above; Give me that and farewell lore." Maiden, now we meet once more, Changed your song from that of yore. When the' leaping billow a foam Round yie crags that shield your home, When die sea fog creeps before you, Waving ghostly shroud shapes o'er you. Then your heart, with longing mad, Prays for him, your sailor lad; Ail the woman rising, yearns For the love the maiden spurns. '*Why not lover" the wife replies; "Naught In life yields sweeter prize. Love Is lasting, Life Is weary. Love lifts shadows dark and dreary, Pours the golden glamour o'er us, Hallows all that Iio before us. Tired hearts have e'er confessed, Storm or sunlight, Love Is beet.1' —Mortimer Foy in Godey's Lady's Book. THE FALLEN PINE. The poets tell us of a period (it is always "a long time ago") when all the animals conversed as well oa sung, and when—if we believo the immortal legends —every created thing had its expressive tongue. Wo aro told that oven the very stones had language audible and eloquent. The Old Testament gives us moro than one instance of tho time when what wo now call tho inanimate spuko in instructive tones. The story of the trees who wanted a king to rule over them isntuong tho most interesting. Thero is another tradition which, while it does not lie in tho authority of the Scriptures, has scriptural fact as ita basis. Who is thero that hoe not heard the legend of the Aspen, which received the curse of a porpotual imloj because of its refusal to bow its head in sorrow on the doleful day of the crucifixion, when all nature was in mourning! The story of the Aspen is tho story of Pride. Let me tell you another—the legend of the Fallen Pino. Tills, however, cannot claim n birth coeval with creation or the crucifixion, for the impress of modern thought is seen in the coinage of the tale. Have you ever traveled over among the Sierras, and have you over listened to the croonlngs of the old priestesses and nuns there? It will bo a long time before tho lust vestiges of the early Spanish ecclesiasti- ciflin is gone from thoso regions in our far west, where its missionaries half wasted heroio lives, especially in the sunset lands of the New World. But I nni not Bure that what 1 am about to relate comes from tho pious cxilo from tho mother country. But whero did the "good mother" who related it to mo receive it? Listen to the legend, though If you have traveled in the Sierras you may have heard the story there: There is, by a wayside, a great fallen pine. YouBeo in tho slopes of tho Sierras many of its companions—pines (not redwood) with a girth of moro than thirty feet at your height above their base. At the foot of this prostntto monarch, its near companion of centuries ago, there still stands a mighty oak, tossing its brawnjr, mossy arms to the sky. It stands a vigil, perhaps now neither sorrowing nor exulting. If you enter tho little cabin near by the "good mother," though It may be that she has nunir t>oon a real mother at all, earning her title by deed:, of devotion, heroism and sacrifice, and ' we might therefore say that the "ancient maiden" thero will tell you} not like tin story monger at Waterloo who rehearse:. for a sou the affair there to the great historian of "Les Miserabies," but wii! recount to you the long, long quari • betwixt the pine and the oak. As yoi may never travel there, or jpejhaps tin old croon ls there no more, for It Ita been years since I woe there,! will then fore tall you the story as it oame to me. It waa many and many years ago thin tho pine and the oak sprang up there, side by aide. They grew together lovingly and happily until they had paaslil the period of their "teens," as ihe world expresses it. At length, ana when, In the language of tho modern pen, they began to hear the gossip of the world. when they heard of "society," when they heard of the jealousies anions: neighboring beauties, and the contrast lug of the virtues of trees, then i; was that troubles began. The winds thut came from far off seas (for It Is a stormy country there) tossed their branches together, and tbo "family jars" may be said to havatten commenced In earnest. The harsh wood of the oak rubbed against the tender pine, and white blood ran front the open veins. "You are becoming loo familiar over there I" It was the ptn« that spoke thus, while the oak replied: I "Pooh! your smell is disagreeable, and that vile' blood of yours has defiled my fingers 1" "You are a cross vixen; don't scratch me so," the pine now complained. The clouds wept and with their team the wounds of the ptne. But ould not blot out the memory of ' t words spoken. , ' timo the winds came, and they I frequently, for it is„ju> I have said, ny country there—overy time the loatne the wrangles were renewed, and the bitter and roprouchful complaining words would como again. The pine called the oak an obstinate ana cruel neighbor, vowing he would no longer live by his sldo. Hear his resolution: "I am going to leave you; I shall grow far away from you;" and forthwith tlio pine turned his head away in disdainful pride. He grew away from the oak. He grew rapidly—far more so than his neigh - bor—and was soon high up In the sky, his branches leaning far ana anxiously to the morning light He wafted back, it is satd, this farewell to the oak: "Good- by, Sorubl Ton can scratch my face no morel" - From this time on It was a war ol words only, for tho branches ot the plnn grew further and further away. The plno boasted of hla virtues, and of the ink's Inferiority. Again tbore was i. "Good-by, Scrub!" Tbo oak was piqued and wounded to iho core. Ho shouted up to tho pine: "I don't care what you say about me! I know I am prized above you for my noble qualities of strength and toughness and weight." "You boast of your virtues, you clumsy Ihingl" retorted the pine. "You say yon are useful, while I am not only useful but 1 am ornamental—a joy in tbe world. 1 am light of weight: am easily wrought. I travel over all the enrth; am found in every placo and in every mansion under the sun, especially wliere thero is a toy that delights the eye Or the heart of childhood." "Yes," quickly responded the oak, j "but I make tho vessels that bear you in your journeys over tlie yea." "Bali!" said the pine, "you Iio hidden away under the waters while I ride high abovo you in the heavens. You aro a very'beast of burden,1 and without me there would be no must, no spar. Furthermore, as I am above the waters, with my eyes I seo all the gay fashions of tbo worldl" "Fashions forsontb!" said the oak. "I know tbe fashions, for I wear lliein threo times a year, while you, like a poor prude, have the same unvarying dress thowhole yearrouiid—thatolif fashioned frock which you cannot change!" This remark stung tbo pine to tbe very heart. There is no one who likes to have his or her garments criticised—"made funof," bo to speak. The pine flung book this in reply: "You arc a booby; you are a fickle, fadey thing; your colors soon change." "Oh, yes," said the oak, "1 know I change my livery; I get a now garment ever-) year, fresh nnd beautiful, from the great milliner, Nature; and even if my old clothing does fade, the world says that in tho sober seasons of the year my garb is lovely and becoming." And tho pine continued to grow further and further awny with its branches. The oak Btood leafless and trembling in the winter's cold, while the gay neighbor was rejoicing in its evergreen splendor, as it saw the many scions, of its family around the varied mansions of earth— ornaments of a fadeless type. Tlie oak cast bis eye downward and behcid tho rich wealth at his feet. "Whom do you feed?" he cried, as ho saw tho great harvest of acorns scattered around, and upon which the beasts of tho field and fowls of tlio nir were feasting and fattening. "I feed the sick!" replied the pino with a sigh. "Not only this, but tho very ships which you boast of making, all receive a coating that conies from me." Then the oak said: "If you do feed tho sick, I warm aud comfort tlio poor, tho peasant and the prince alike." "Yes, and 1 embellish the world even with so poor a thing ns the smoke that 1 send away," impatiently retorted the pine. And so they continued to boast and to quarrel as tho years ran on. I need not tell you all that the good mother recounted to mo of the long, long troubles between those neighbors. But the pine grow further and further away, its branches gathering weight with every summer sun. Again tho storms came— for I havo told you it was a stormy country thero among tho Sierras—and the autumn's rain had pelted tho earth and the forest with long and steadfast fury. "Seo how I defy oven tho blasts of j winter!" exultantly cried out the pine: | tlio winrln that rushed through his i branches were heard ouly in sighs and moans. The oak, with his shorn limbs, stooi I trembling, whilo tho fierce tempesi came; its fury passed by, and tho oak waved in obeisance. But thp proud pine, with heavy mantle and crown high in the heavens, his hold on tin earth weakened by the softening win! et rains, and leaning far away from the lino of rectitude in his efforts to avoid tho oak. But I need not tell ttjoeton further—for tot tho pine is fallen! And the good mother wii) tell you, as the'moral, of her song, that tho story ol thoplno is also the story of pride—M, V.

There Are M:,:.;. Codes, .ml Constant Change. Aro NeeesMitaterl—Tho Sharp Kye of the NsuusgsWS Ever Watching. Important Part I'layeil by Competition. A man who bad received a cable mes- sago composed of nothing but names of cities went lo an expert maker of cipher codes to seo if he could throw any light on the meaning. "Have you made no personal arrangement with any correspondent by which thoso names of cities are to stand for certain phrases?" asked tbo expert. "I have not.'' answered the man. "1 came to you becauso I thought you might havo some code containing the ciphers.'* "There is no printed code that contains proper names as ciphers," said the expert. "The reason is this: The cable companies accepted nil kinds of business nt lirst, even combinations of letters which spelled nothing. But they soon found that tho ingenuity of their merchant patrons enabled them to send almost any messngo at the cost of but a fow words, by devising codes wherein each letter stood for a phrase, and wherein even the juxtaposition of letters nnd numerals, which in themselves bad meanings, Indicated still other meaning! Of course this reduced tho prof its of tho cable companies, so they began to make rules. They refused to transmit any combination of letters unless it spelled an actual word. Then they lim ited the number of languages thoy would transmit. Then they. refused to take proper names, unless tho context showed tbey wore a proper part. 'All this, of course, was to mako it so bard to get up satisfactory and permanent cablo codes that tho merchant would bo compelled for safety's sako to resort to straight out and out discourse in framing his messages. But as the difficulties increased men began to mako specialties of devising ingenious codes, and finally the companies had to come out flat footed and refuse to transmit messages in cipher. Of course this was a sovero blow to trade, as a vast quantity of small basin^ascould not then bo done, Becauso tha oust of cabling about it cut off most of tho oven tual profit . CARRIE WAS VERY ILL. "But ovqn then codes wero used, but of a curious sort. In ono that I know of. for instance, it was arranged that a certain largo catalogue of common verbs, nouus, adjectives and prepositions should bo understood to have no meaning whatever. Tho cipher words wero made tip outside of this catalogue, and tho exempted words were used to fill in, giving tho somblanco of an actual, straight out sentence. Hero was a sentence, for in- stance that I cabled whilo a clerk inn shipping house "Currlo very 111. Tell Thomas prepare nitrate; Ananias goiaaj telegraph Josephine.

It must also bavo seemed strange tbat Cart rio got very ill every timo thero was a rise in tho nitrate market, But tho mes- sago was straight distiAttfSt, dnd of courso tho companies h?d nothing to do but accept tho message. "NO OrPHBRS i'Kstlim'ED." "Competition finally came to tho merchant's aid. Now cable lines, seeking business, offered more liberal conditions, and gradually the merchant acquired, as his recognized right, tho power of usiii;, a cipher code. Still, most of tho original petty rctrictions were adopted by all competitors. Among theso wero tho regulations against proper names. As u matter of fact, hi tho present stato of competition, ouo is tolerably safo in using proper names and ciphors, for each company is afraid of driving custom to a rival by applying the rule. Consequently thero aro any number of small personal or temporary codes agreed upon between mau and man to servo a certain immediate ptu'pose, in which names of towns or persons figure as ciphers. But wc professional codo makers, who compile and print expensive codes for sale to the public, carefully avoid infringing oven dead letter rules, becauso we do nol know when somo big cablo company may swallow up a smaller Competitor whom ouo of our patrons patronizes and screw down tho thumbs on somo rule, to tho disadvantage of our patron and ourselves, "Looking over this catalogue hero of tho cablo lines of tho world, you will still find a dozen or more companies, chiefly loeatod in tho ends of Asia, Ai rica and Polynesia, wlio boldly advertise.

All hail been turned out of ruts of thought which ' hail existed for generations, and into which : yld communities always settle. The literary men of old countries can write ; dullness und a rehash of other men's thoughts if or generations before they are found out, , Children aro taught directly or indirectly to regard with reverence the emanations of lutue semi-fossilized brain, although in such ■ emanations thoy are neither interested nor j unused.

They scorn infected with tho wild, unsub- | dued naturo around them, uud in their first j lease of freedom they do muuy wild, gro- tetfiuouud ovun improper things, That is why your ancestors, the argonauts, gave such dreadful names to these towus—such as "nangtOsvn," ''Mui'dcrei-s' Bar," "Shirtail Cimyon."ajwlthe.Uke.v ft was- a reaction fro.iiai.e pretentious style so long practiced in tho eastern states and older countries. Tho tendency to call sorte ouo horse town—Rome, or Athens, or Ithaca—names generally sug- gofiffed by some village literary pomposity, too, shows his classical education. Reveling i.i their freedom the argonauts tn tho earlier days invented within a couple of yean a new wt of tof ins, almost a now laugiiage, bred out of the country iteelf and the new conditions and modes of lifo abovo them—such as "Panned out," t(Givo up the fluine,"''BifcfcV' "Strapped," "Busted" and "Potored ou£," Men liked to talk improperly and in an outlandish fashion, bochusy in the older states thu schoolmaster's rod tjrst and the rod of popular opinion afterivrtrd' had been so long hold over them to make them talk properly. Ihey have been" tnade so to do in so far as thoy did not out of lovo, hut fear, aud anything learned out of fear will be rejected afterward for a time, oven though it be a good thing. It Is a luxury for a boy to wade through a mud puddle and soil his clothes when at home he bos been from first to lost licked into, clean garments, and the first and last thought associated with u pair of clean pantaloons is his mother's threat that if ho soils them he will bo punished. California gave her first settlors liberty to dress, talk and act in many things about as they pleased. Off courso whon mon lirst have liberty in anything they aro apt to abuse it, or rather make a bad use jf iL. But liberty they've gut to havo somo timo or othor lief oro they can learn to moke a proper uso of it. You can't mako an expert horseman unless you glvo him full liberty with tho horsy, That is a very shaky kind of goodliest* or virtue which always docs the conimonduble' thing because somo, one else lays it Is tho thing*to do. That kind of goodness is very often deep down In tho depths wanting to do tbe forbidden thing, but not •Jaring to do it for lack of opportunity. Many of your solid citizens of today, pillars of church, state and society, during their earlier years in California wont for things forbidden in thu older states "flat footed." They wont for tho fandango, for faro, for monte, for the bar—for anything and everything which tho Now England Sunday school said was wrong. They went and •mv, and tried and tasted, aud drank to tht dregs, and found the cup bitter, and the account, when footed up in thc ledger of health, to lie a losing ono, uud being men of judgment, balance and ceimmon sense, they put away the evil thing once and) for- 9ver. having satisfied tiietnselves dut of their mnoxptrkiioe that tho evil thing did not pay, antrthey really wantm*novmore of It. Thoy could then pans tho gilded portals of jlunger without coring to go in, and that is 'probably moro" thnn" ever they could have .lone had they remained in the older states and trod nearly tfrupyme path their fathera trod. • tf l|f I Iii I tl I'M » this MORAL IN iti* I believo thoroughly. that' iWJr\. f«T- bettor for ono to sin ana *sin in good earnest so as to kuow4ho evil that comes of it than not to sin and yet have always k covert desire to do so.

LouUL^pabUfr^ Iu tlie Had Chase to Get the Seed Into the Ground and the Grain Harvested tbe Little iellows Are Worked Almost to Death—A Mother's Story. I would like to say a word in favor of our farmer boys, who, as a class, are sadly overworked in the rush of spring work or through i the hot days of harvest, A great many farmers undertake so much I that, in order to get the crops in iu season, everything must como to time, whilo the j boys, colts and everything else on tho placo is pressed into service for all they are able to do. Now, if the boys have to work bo hard, it seems to me tbey should be allowed a shorter day, and not bo compelled to go from sun up to sun down, as well as the older ones. They aro really to Iw pitied, if ono stops to think of it, for if anything is wanted whilo getting ready to go to the Held, it is, "Hero Tom, run and gr*t it, and step lively," und as soon us that (mrtlculnr tiling is brought, then something cl to is 'v.iutc-l, mid when ready to go to .vol',: Tuui ban i-uu enough to bo already tired: then, "Isou see that you keep thoso horses go Ing" iw a bit of parting advice. Then, after a long day's plowing, thero aro tho cows to be brought from tho pasture. Of course, Tom being tbo youngest, has that to do, too. Aud after supper is over ho must milk, ull of which is well enough if ho was only allowed a shorter day than the others, and very frequently whilo tbo others stop during-tho Hay for rest Tom must go tor a jug of water, us "boys don't get tired.'' I believe in their working as thoy aro able, but have known so many boys hi jurod from over work that I cannot retrain from Baying a fow words in tho hope that they may do a little good. Our dear, warm hearted, willing boys, whose work we can only appreciate when they are ill or absent; then we seo how ■ much help they have been. "THE FLOWS WEBB ALL BROKE." I was well acquainted with one boy, who helped break up all the ground for a large crop.- [Io was only 14 and small of his age, and he worked right along with bis father, a very strong man, until the crops were in, and the day they finished planting corn, at sup per time, I said to him, when be came in "Why, George, what is the matter?" For as long as I live I can nover forget the tired, ,- dejected, drooping Uttle figure as he stood in the door. "Oh, nothing, only tired," with a i pathetic little smile. In a day or two he was j taken down with fever, and for weeks lay at j death's door simply from overwork. Tho j first week of his illness he raved continually ' about his work, and it was enough to break : one's L*)art to hear him urging his team to | their work; or his plow would "break, or it I was "sohard tothrow thedb't uphill." He kept this up for a week, nover a minute's rest ulght or day, and e.\iry day bis voice grew weaker, until one day be opened his eyes, und looking around tho room said, "thc plows oro all broke," and never mentioned them again. But for weeks he was not out of danger. (. Now where was anything gained in that transaction. A long; illness to ta borne, a . largo doctor's bill to pay; besides the ct»rc*uid j anxiety such an illness caused his parent.-, j As he was slowly recovering, his physician j said: "This illness was caused moro trom ' overwork than anything else; now, seo that ItisneYordonijagain." Another case of boy's overwork, which 1 know to be true, was where a man set a boy of 11 years of ago to plowing, and the only way he could turn the plough was to put his head under tho cross pieces, between tho bundles, lotting it rest on tho bock of his neck, until be injured his spine and was taken sick and lived only a few days. In the intense heat of harvest is another terrible time for the boys; hard, indeed, for strong men. MAKES A MOTHER'S HEART ACHE. Last summer oar own boy, a stout young fellow of 10, who had worked from early spring with scarcely a day's intermission, or without a word of complaint, side by Bide with another man much older than himself, then through four or five weeks of harvest until a day or two before it was over, came into my room (I wai ill at the time) looking so sad and worn that it frightened me, and I said to him: "What is the* matter, dear, don't you feel well?" "Oh, ma," he said, "I am Just nearly dead, my head aches so, just look at my hands," holding up bis hands, perfectly covered inside with callouses and blisters, while his lips quivered and tears stood in his dark oyes, something, that I bad not seen for years, for he is usually too proud to complain " Yesterday my noso bled until I could hardly go. I do wish father would let the off this afternoon; wont you ask bim to?" How it weut to my mother heart to have to tell him that father said "no, must try and get through while toe fair weather lasts," only a mother can know, And there waa a good deal of bitterness in my thoughts tbat afternoon as I thought of my boy and hts sorrowful face. His father .did notinenn to bo hard, for if ' he hod been sunstruck or stricken down with illness he would flfen'nave counted his grain of very little wctih'befcido the lifo of his boy, but ho only thought then of the work ou hand aud that tbo resting cpuld bo.dono some other lime. But thai is 'ens; reason: wbytso many (toys leave their home* so soon and so thor ough despise farming, when a little good judgment, tempered with mercy for them, would do moro good than all the stern com uuuids that were ever ottered. j "Oh, if we could only live the post live years over again," said a friend whoso only child, a promising boy of 18, had died of con suinptltJW, "foreknow ho • worked too hard. Ho was" always so willing' and wo nover stopped to think that the work might be too much for him. But now we can seo where ! we did, wrong." \What a pity all parent*. ! canVfot see, before they meet with some such trouble, and bo really parents at heart lu stead of thoughtless taskmasters whoso present prosperity is gained iu n great measure ut a fearful expense-—tho broken down const i tutlons of thoir boys.—Ono Wbo Loves Them in St. Louis Republic I FWUCh Han-lace*.

To comprehend, however, that this does not inevitably lead to social stoppago and disaster, it is necessary to perceive that tbe *imve thing which might result very badly for us does not neeessarily result badly for peoplo who ore so very dtlTeront from us as the French are. .

As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall Iw j glad to hear of its finding a place in every I Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we | are happy to say, arc now relegated to thc native bazaars, and judging from their salct wc fancy their SOJUW there will be hut evanescent. We could multiply instances Infinitum of thc extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrho*, and 2nd Dysentery Spasms, Crampv Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnane), and as , general Sedative, that have occurred u'nd^ t 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. *Afe have never Used '.ny other foim of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction lhat it is decidedly the t>cst, and also from a sense ot duty we owe to the proj fession and the public, as we ire ofthe opinion tii.it tne substitution of any other thai Mollis HVowne's, is A ifcLIBERA"?E BREACH OK FAITH ON THE* PART OF THE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE, We are sir, faithfully yours, Symes & Co., Members of the Pharm.

A state cnbihall of m* friend what assurance he requires, and what he contem-1 plates doing? While heartily commend- i mg tne Council for Iheir endeavors to encourage the starting ol a new iiidustn in Nanaimo, we suggest lhal it would be j as well that the Board of Trade, as a non- political bodv, had the matter publicly place*! hefore them for consideration. Knowing as we do the uprightness aud integrity of the City Council of Nanaimo, it must be apparent to that body thut there are cavillerB everywhere, and in tbe event of their conceding such demands as are made by the embryo pottery company, there would sure to be a kick somewhere. But on the other hand if the Uoaid of Trade had the opportunity of flrst considering the matter and then referred their decision to the Mayor and Council for their approval or disapproval as the case might l>e, all such future trouble would be averted. Many have already complained that in the event of the Council deciding to grant certain privileges to the Pottery Co. it would cause a considerable amount of discontent to those who have started various other enterprises in this city without any aid whatsover, though the majority favor the scheme and would be willing to see it assisted. By placing the matter in the hands of the Board of Trade all after trouble would be avoided. Needlc.lv Alarmed. In speaking of the Esquimalt formications the Timet says "land batteries are valuable it is true, bnt with a coast so Indented with commodious harbors as Vancouver Island,and in fact a coast that permits the landing of troops almost anywhere, nothing short of a powerful chain ol batteries involving the entire circuit of the island, wonld prove a check to an invading force." ... evidently our contemporary in speaking in this manner did not consider that even if a hostile force had succeeded in evading the vigilance of the British navy, end had succeeded in landing on Vancouver Island that there were yet almost insurmountable obstacles placed in the road of a further progress of a large body of men with artillery and horses. The Galf is of course supposed to be protected by batteries at Esquimalt which would make it very difficult for au enemy to pass that way, therefore the only feasible plan left is to cross ibe Gulf higher up or . ets$ct a landing on the west coast. In either case: there would be great diilicul- tiaa for them to surmount before they could bring their armament to bear oh any place of note. The pathless forest of ■ the north-eastern portion of the island woald have to be made passable by cutting aad making roads, daring which time the opposing army, which would have control of the available means of transit, would be in a position to give them a warm welcome, or in the case of their landing on the west coast und hoping to make use of the Alberni road as a means of entrance to 'Nanaimo, they would quickly find that the mountainoui regions of the interior of Vancouver Island were not to be despised as a means of defence to the inhabitants. Fr.kably Drowned. At six o'clock yesterday morning thu attention of Mr. W. Shears, of Shears A Page, was called to a boat lying ou the beach in front of his residence on Dallas Road, James Bay, Victoria. Un making aa investigation Mr. Shears found a sliding seat racing boat bottom up with one af the sculls missing and the seat. Mr. Shear* brought the news into this city and discovered that Mr. Thos. Jones rented the boat yesterday afternoon to a strange young man dressed in black clothes. The stranger called at the boat house at 2 o'clock and asked for it sail boat. Mr. Jones refused to let him have one on account of the rough sea outside the harbor. The stranger then asked for a light boat. Mr. Jones thought the man wanted to take a spin up the Arm and accommodated him with the boat found on the beach yesterday morning. There la little doubt about the fate of the stranger who acted in a very foolhardy manner by leaving the harbor. His name is at present unknown. The fact that tba seat waB gone and the boat up turned.showB that he was drowned in the Straits. The boat was brought to the city by Mr. Jones, who says he was not at ail acquainted with the man. The police are making inquiries, but no light has been thrown on the matter.— Time*. ••• Change of Judges. P. Sabiston and George Kennedy, who wen appointed judges in the sailing race, have withdrawn from their positions. Mr. Sabiston says he will lie unable to attend owing to other duties, and Mr. Kennedy will sail a boat himself, so of course hud to resign. W. C. Halleck and Aid. Abrams have been requested to fill their positions and have Kindly consented. The race is timed for B a, m. sharp. The ■•■Ilia Point Lille. A telegram received from Ottuwu stutes that tbe Government has decided to adopt the Bonilla Point route us the most feasible.
