UT THK :,l -| II..I. OF " MiillT. Afler _lcir]iing for some time I awoke suililenly and completely, with n vivid Ki'iiHi- upon mc of not t-nag alone in the room. 1 opened my eyes and stun-il round, Lut without lifting my head from the pillow. Soniotimi-s on waking up in a .1 range room it has taken me a influent or two lo reeolleet when- I whs, hut in I his MM I IfOOgnixad the nr anil its furniiure in an instant. The candle hail burnt low and was beginning to gutter. A t-uarter of an hour more ami I ahould he left in.lark iii-s". All waa silent, with a deathlike, oppresssivo silence anch as one never experiences, nave in lonely eountry plat-m, such as the town knows nothing of. Not a lirenth of w-iiul to stir the la-ranches ouiside, not the timid scratching of a mouse behind the wainscot, not even the faint friendly thud of far-oil' hoofs on the frosty high road. Nature, animate and inanimate, might have lieen struck with eternal death, and I the lust man left alive in a world of shadows. I shivered involuntarily, and drew the Iinl- clothes more closely nl.rnit. me. As 1 have already said, there was a vivid sense upon me at the moment of waking of not lieing alone iu the room. I hail a feeling as if some one had lieen Lending ovr ma and breathing lightly on my forehead. 1 could feel the terror that shone out of my eyes in that lirst waking Btarn round the room, while my glance travelled from the clothes i-upliiiai'd on one side, with the chair still in front of it thai I hail put there, to the locked door on the other side. Hut when nothing met my view suve the commonplace room nnd its commonplace furniture—as like a hun dred other inn rooms 1 had slept in at various times as one pea is like another —and when with a quick Bwish I had i lush ed hack the curtains at Ihe head of the lied and had satisfied myself that no one was hidden behind them— the terror that had gripped my heart but a moment before began to loosen its hold. Another minute, and I dropped back with a rebound into the world of work-a-ilay realities, in whicli uch things as ghostly fancies and midnight tremors are either unknown or known only to be ridiculed. With a shrug and a yawn 1 nestled down UUIUllUSt in V ullluwb, una ui'iU'r I. Ul.i.- tal ,„p,..o--....iu.ii never io rat potwu trout for supper again. A minute or two later the death-like silence was broken by the faint chiming of some faraway clock. I put forth a lazy hand.found my watch under the pillow, aud drew it out to ascertain the time. It was exactly half past one. I was 1 putting my watch back and was con -ratulating myself that f had still seven cozy hour3 of bed before me, when my wandering glance was caught and fixed by a strange and sinister-1 looking shadow on the ceiling of my room. 1 stared at it with wide-open eyes; and, as I stared, so vivid and realistic did it look, my heart for a moment or two seemed to stand still in dread ex .cctaiiey, and 1 felt as if I were aliout for a moment—th. swallowed ine up. As a rule the impressions which print themselves ou our mental tablet. .Iin j ing the dark hours, bowevM vivid thev may seem at the lime, look but dim and faded reproduction, of thems. h . , in the clear light of morning Bo it was in the present caw. The recollection of my midnight faucii _ served as food for a smile over breakfast ; then more serious matters claimed me, and I put In.-in aside as so many other IriHes an- put aside, to Is- remembered pi-rchaiie.', at some odd moment now and thin, or, perchance, forgotten for ever. Two days later I found myself in London, where some terrible news awaitad me. My dear friend, Osric lmray, had lieen murdered—murdered and robbed while travelling by railway. It appeared that hehad been from home, transacting certain business con Dented with the bank, and was on his return journey, having in his possession a large sum in notes and drafts, when be met his sad fate. He had bribed the guard to lock the door of his compart ment and so keep otlier passengers out, but atacortainsrationhewasfound stabbed to the heart. The bag that had contained his property was missing and the carriage door was unlocked. Purse, meton, jewellery—all were gone. It was evident that th-. murderer,, whoever he might be, must have quitted his own compartment while the train wnstn route, have obtained access Io lmray's compartment, probably while the latter was asleep, and having ac complished his dreadful purpose, have gone back along the foot-boards of the carriages to his own seat. A daring deed to do. without a doubt, but certainly not au impossibility. At the next station the murderer had doubtless left the train like any ordinary passenger, and had mingled wiih, and been lost among the crowd before the discovery of his crime. So effectually had he taken his precautions that all efforts to trace him proved utterly unavailing. Gradually, as time went on the excitement of the public wore itself out, and the attention of the police became absorbed in other and more im media'e duties. To all appearance, lmray's murder was destined to add one more to the long list of undiscovered crinns. I mourned my friend long and sincerely. If any recollection of the foolish c.pju. lin,.t, nrp lu'l •"'"•J-1 ' .'.„,„.'i-., It was speedily dismissed as something unworthy of serious thought. But it cerlainly did strike mo as a singular coincidence that tho murder took place on the very morning and, as nearly as could be calculated, at the very hour that I had been startled by that strange shadow on the ceiling of my bedroom. It struck me as a singular coincidence, but as nothing more. Some six or seven months had passed il. . irriri.-.' In ulii'll •ii iiiird.-i' i.

For a moment or two the knife was poised in mid air while he gazed frowningly al the door. Then, when he whom he was expecting did not come, the knife descended, the bread was severed, and he sat down to his chocolate and dry crust with the air of a man who had not lasted food since yesterday.

Ihe bed, projected by the light of tht candle on to the ceiling, but distorted in the act, as shadows often are distorted, beyond ordinary recognition. Bnt all bough I was perfectly satisfied in my own mind as to the cause of the shadow, I was none the less impressed by tin. singularity of the effect thus obtained. What I Baw was the representation of n man, cloaked and wearing a slouched hat—of a man with a remarkably hooked and parrotlike nose- in the act of stooping over some one or something unseen, and striking down at the same moment with a knife or short dagger. Although nothing but a shadow, it seemed instinct will a sinister and murderous purpose. Lit seemed to breathe from its every curve. You almost felt as if you could see the victim An instant more and thit Jagger woultl descend. 1 stretched forth my hand and moved the candlestick a couple of inches further to the right. At once the eff.ct was gone. The shadow was si ill there, but it was a shadow without meaning or purpose. The slouched hat was gone, the hooked nose was gone, the dagger was gone. Then I moved the candlestick a few inches to the eft, the result lieing the production of another unmeaning shadow like nothing I had ever seen before. I replaced the candlestick hills sleeping around, whose sacn silence we seemed so rudely to disturb. I let down the window to obtain a breath of fresh air. A minute later the train shot into a tunnel. From my seat close to the open window 1 could see the clear relleetion of each lighted compartinent on the black damp wall of the tunnel. There, too, was my own shadow, sharply focu.sed on the wall, as I sat peering forward with the peak of my uavelling cap pulled well over my brows. And there too, as I lived, and emanating ,„._,,. from the next compart ment, was a with second shadow still more sharplv d • •" lo„_.i ,i,„„ ,„; "^^^ Then men i ■■ i . nearly as I could judge on the a -.-.„_.._ had first stood.

It was unaccountable. ONC. P. E. RIGHT OF WAY. Then, all ai ouce, the candle flared out lined than mine—the twin shudow of that other shadow 1 had soon six months before in my inn bedroom ! Ho well did I remember its every! feature—if a shadow can be said to have features-that it was impossible for me to be mistaken. There, as be fore, was the cloaked and stooping figure, the slouched hat, the parrotlike nose, and there, above all, was the uplifted arm and the baud that clutched a dagger. 1 seemed to freeze as I looked. Not to have saved my life could I have either stirred or spoken during those few moment.. As before, the shadow was motionless, or would have been hut for the slight o-icillaiioii of the train. The tragedy, if such it were, did not advance—the uplifted dagger did not fall—the unseen victim put forth no arm in self-defence. Another minute and we were out of the tunnel, and the shadow, focussed no longer on the black enclosing walls, radiated into space and vanished. I was more disturbed iu my mind than I would have cared to own. What did tho second appearance of this same ominous shadow protend it sent as a warning, or aa Was good proof thai my mental equipoise was not quite so finely adjusted asi hud fondly imagined it to be. Had I laid the ease liefore iny doctor, his verdict would have been that I had overworked myself, anil that nil 1 needed was rest and change of scene. About this time I received a commission (o paint a picture illustrative of a certain phase of low—clans I. m i in life. In my search for types and faces to embody in mv picture, I found myself after nightfall ou several occasions in some of the lowest neighbourhoods, and among some of the vilest dent, that the metropolis had at that time reason to be ashamed of. 1 had several i.ci'unintanoos among the police, and under iheir sheltering wings I visiter! sundry places into which it wonld not have been safe for me lo venture alone. Said one of these acquaintances, Sergeant Smith, to me one night, after we had been lhe round of several queer places: "There's oftenaruui lot in here, sir, though mostly foreigners. Suppose wc finish up by taking a prep at them." The place he spoke of was a mean aud dingy-looking cafe, situated in a moan and dingy atreet somewhere in the purlieus of Snho aud Leicester Square. We pushed open the swing-door and and went in, and at once I could have fancied that I was hundreds of miles from London, and that I had lost my self in some low neighborhood of the Quartier Latin. Out with the place and the people found there I have nothing here to do—or rather, 1 have to do with one person only. I did not sec him when I fiist wem in, nor till after I had sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. But as soon as I did see him, or rather, as soon as I caught sight of the shadow reflected on the wall beyond htm, I started lo my feet with an exclamation that turned a do.en suspicious pairs of eyes on nie in a moment. On the coarse .'■bite- washed wall of this mean cafe I beheld for the third time, the sinister ouiliue whicli had haunted me twice already bedroom at the inn on the tunnel, as I was "Do you see somebody you know?" saluul ^ •> tarily from my lips the moment my eyes Caught sight of ihe shadow on the wall "Yes," 1 said, with a sort of gasp as I resumed my scat. "Somebody that 1 have been looking for for a long time, You see that man," 1 added, "in the cloak und slouched hat, sitting by himself in lhe lop left-band corner ?" The sergeant nodded. "Have you ever seen him before tonight ?" "I can't say 1 recollect his face," answered Smith cautiously, after a lun;! steady stare. "And yet it is anything but an ordinary face. I'm somebody on to find out all that can be found out about him, and bring your report to nie as soon as] you aie ready." "Ii shall be done, sir geant's prompt response. "To what class do the customers of this place mostly belong ?" 1 .'sked. "Five-sixths of them are foreigners, as you can see lur yourself, sir, A sprinkling of them may lie French i ii Belgian workmen, who have found employment in London. The rest 1 should put down as being chiefly re- 'otutionists and conspirators ot' differ em nationalities who have tied theii country, and who contrive to eke out a ubsistence her-, few save themselves know how : while watting for a turn of Fortune's wheel thai may make them, neneraU or senators, and give item, in | rpowa J^^ for tvas lhe ser _I_I_I_I_I_H ■ Canadian Pacific Railway* A. it.

Away went the sergeant, while 1 re-J mained on watch near the door of the cafe. Hut no one came out, and in five minutes Sergeant Smith was back, ] accompanied by a policeman in plain clothes. To this man certain instructions were given, after which the sergeant and I went our several ways. Some eight or nine days passed, when, one evening nn returning t" ^^^^^_ ^^^^^^^ rooms, I found the sergeant waiting for j f]*r*(v]-ir O'lypii me. What he had to tell nu* may!

In tin* House three representatives accuseil tho "honorable" John RoImoii of bribery ^ and corruption ; and promised to prove | House as it is, and then we shall have 'a storm, Oladstone leading in op The Standard gives an outline of the new Coercion bill. It will provide that a special jury list "draan from classes not liable to intimidation" shall be framed for the trial of u certain class of offenders. A provision will give the authorities of crime "without any charge being madv in public court." This looks like business ihat will be followed at once by martial law and murder. When Sir Michael Hicks Beach chief socretary for Ireland read the bill he was surprised and proposed rii'lrni-iit-; but it will go before the MR. ROBSON EXPOSED. thst the accusation is true. Bui four teen men, elected to represent the people, declared that—"IT is NOT SK- L'KWUHY TO MAKK ANV KStl-'lRY," and therefore, tbe delinquent escaped. Ile bribed the electors, and therefore it is reasonable to liclieve that he bribed the fourteen dishonest slaves who voted for "no enquiry." Ned Alton is one of the fourteen, because his sou is employed by the government : no one was surprised by Ned's conduct, hut Lieut.-Col. Baker, of Kootenay, voted with Nod. and Hobson himself, ought to lie ashamed of the result. In his place an honest man would have said: I am accused of bribery, and 1 demand a trial. Put m- into the dock nnd let my enemies appear in court uml give their evidence. 1 am not (juilty, and 1 engage to prove it. But he is guilty, and therefore he adopted the other course and secured hirelings and paid them in mesl or malt for saying:— "There shall be no enquiry." Vancouver has another paper, lhe C/iesnut, and it is a shocking sample of low vulgarity. In it there is no sign of wit, but a good deal of the twaddle that might lie expected in a newspaper published by monkeys. The pious people of Chilliwhack have presented a petition to the local House and say:—"6310 acres are locked up iu this district as reserves for fifty-six Indian families." That, petition contains a suggestion to commit a robbery ; but the settlers forget that the Indian's title to land is the best in the Province. Thesspious thiives believe that might is right, and we are all amazed when we hear that au Indian has cut a white man's throat. The Indians are tame, and therefore the good people of Chilliwhack are covetous. The Canadian Pacific Railway Co. have a small aimy of men in the Bel- kirks shovelling snow off the track and repairing gaps made by laud ■.Ii.11-.-; but the avalanches will continue to comedown and make gaps until the first of June. It is not reasonable to suppose that a mail on wheels and propelled by steam will come over the Selkirk, before the first of ^.ay. If you ask a railway official—when do you expect an eastern mail I he will surely say -- "to-morrow." But we saw twonty of these to-morrows and—no mail. We don't believe the company tniMixgfh,trw**fffmifka-,eo'illi'*'r.n \\ft\\>/\\ '.(i winter was—crazy. Specimens of quartz found on i he shore near Vancouver, were imported from San Francisco by sonic fellow who was engaged in making the dia mond mini's of Arizona. Money is scarce at present, and therefore it is not possible to gather a crowd of gold hunters by shouting—Quartz at Vancouver! Fiddlestick!

Building war ships for the enemy may be good for trade, but it is rather surprising io see Scotchmen engaged in (hat way. London Figaro says:—"The mother of Boulanger was English." The Dublin Freeman's Journal says—"She wss Irish," and the Cork Examiner says "The Freeman is in error; her grandmother was Irish." If Boulauger leads a French army to Berlin he will surely lie reminded of the fact that he hns a great many blood relations iu the Britisli Isles DNITKIJ KINGDOM. Gladstone has informed his party that he will himself lead in opposing the Irish Coercion bill. At noon last Monday London was enveloped iu darkness ; in fact midnight was visible at inid day and snow was falling in flakes. The Emperor of Germany in con venation with a French general on Tuesday last, is reported to have said : —"Tell your conpatriots that there is no danger of war, I shall use my influence tn maintain peace." iiutitis very certain that the Emperor did not utter such nonsense in conversation with a inarshnll of France who would surely tell him that the first Napoleon wss the only dictator that Prance acknowledged. The cable despatches from Paris to London contain reports of au attempt to assassinate the Czar. The bomb shell in described by the penny-a-liner, and the string that was to be used in causing the explosion. Then follows another despatch iu which the public are gravely informed that the other re ports are false. No one attempted to kill his majesty of Russia. The Berlin Post publishod on Tuesday last contains a leading article in which we find the following :—"With terror and regret we say it, that Europe must prepare to see Russia adopt a policy taking shape either in a fan- tastie resignation, or a frantic adventure. The latter is the more probable It will require a superhuman effort on the part of the Czar to oppose the tempest of voices calling for war as the only remedy for Russia's woe.." There was a very sharp debate in the House of Commons on Thursday night on the question of voting the extraordinary expenses of police employ ed at evictions in Ireland. This raised a good df al of ill-temper, and then followed the question of change of venue. The chief secretary said that if the Government could not convict the violators of ihe law in one place, they should try to do so in another place. Dillon, Healy, and Parnell talked revolvers and massacres UNITED STATES. At 7 o'clock last Monday morning a heavily loaded passenger triin went through a bridge on the Boston and Providence railroad. Several persons were killed. In the smoking car, at the time of the accident, four men were playing poker, three of these were killed, and the fourth was tumbled uninjured into the muddy river, where he was found holding ill his right hand ihe queen of diamonds covered with blood. A special from Fayette, New Orleans says:—"This morning Jim Orr and his three sons, armed with revolvers, attacked Lud. Ohurehwell and his two sons, armed with shot guns and axes. It was a savage fight; two men were killed and two mortally wounded." Half cizilized white savages are worse than red Indians. The River and Harbor Appropri ation Bill has lieen vetoed. It wasnot presented to the President ten days before the prorogation of Oongress,and therefore he put it in his pocket. The people of Oregon and California accuse him of a design to serve, at their expense, the interests of New York capitalist. Two burglars and a murderer, confined in Portland jail, attempted to escape last Wednesday. With a pair of Bcissors they cut the edge of a carving knife and made it a saw; and with it they cut a large iron bolt. Jailer Lounsbury saw them at work, Bl^i-iJ^tW-PWKi^ The The Otegonian says of Beecher:—I "He was a man of genius with a flaw in his diamond, a Hy in his amber, and bo was an ardent, credulous, conceited, vainf imaginative man, the natural dupe and fool ofa frivolous, simpering, sentimental woman. Mrs. Tillon was a Becky Sharp in cunning, without her talent, and she made au ass of Beecher with all his ability, just as Omphale did of Hercules, in spite of his strength." The farmers in Washington Territory, south of Snake river, aro trying to induce the Northern Pacitie Railway Company to give them a branch line, and have pledged themselves to ship their surplus crops nf wheat by the new road, and to pay 8_ a ton for freight. The surplus crop is estimated at 50,000 tons. Three hundred farmers have signed the liond and the road will be built. The New York Tribune says:—"Of the 50,000 persons appointed by President Cleveland to places of trust 59 nre jail birds, convicted of various crimes; political criminals 10; desert ei*s3; perjurers 3; au expelled Senator 1 Total 76" It would appear from this statement that the President is the patron of thieves. At a large'ineeting of Anarchists in New York, on Tuesday, Win. Hassel- iiniii, an ex-member *of the German Reichstag, spoke for an hour and denounced Bismarck, Von Moltke, and the Socialists. Braunschweig declared that "the ballot, is nonsense and that reform cannot be secured without force." He was loudly applauded, Ri ports from southern Oregon, and from districts east of the Cascades, say: —"The winter is over, and cuttle are in prime condition." Last week house proporty iu Walla Walla worth $125,000 was destroyed by fire. Several hands are employed in clearing off the ruins, and new houses are already contracted for. . Snow in the Cceur d'Alene moun tains, at the head of Alder Gulch, is 100 feet deep ; on the west side it is deeper. In the Columbia and Fraser the floods this year will be memorable. A sensation was created at Seab right, New Jersey, on Sunday, by the Rev. Mr. Lake, a Methodist minister, who declared in the pulpit that Mrs. Ida Terry, and Mrs. Georgie Phillips had ceased to be members of his church. He then accused the pair of dancing, and in the usual way read them out of the congregation. He then gave notice that he wuuld expel Clinton Fiske, a millionaire, who owns a half interest in a hotel where liquors are sold. A New York newspaper declares that the United States Senate is "a club of millionaires." Tlie railroad interest is well represented in the upper House, and the richest Senators are railroad magnate.. In this age the whole duty of a representative man is to fill his own pockets with c-iin wiokedly ot In fact they astonished the audience by I taken from the people who were silly using language that was not suited for j enough to believe that he could be such an assembly. trusted. Tlie shocking exhibition of Thursday last, must have created a strong feeling throughout the country against a system of Government that permits men like Mr. Robson to hold the honorable position of minister. It must have occurred to those who were present in the House, or even those who read the very meagre reports, that a (iovernment composed of men like Mr. Robson must be destructive to the welfare of any community, and that no one can be surprised if such measures as the Kootenay Bill, the Settlement Bill, and the gift of the public domain to the Railway Comiiany for s*>eculalive purposes, should be the result. If men like Mr. Kobson are a misfortune for the country, which they pretend to goverh, their presence in the Executive Council must be valuable to some persons who procure their elevation, and know how to appreciate their services. 'I'he charges enumerated in the motion of Mr. Orr were evidently considered with much care, and were well sup)>orted by facts, not only in the sha|>c of documentary evidence but the testimony of the mover and seconder who heard Mr. Robson make the statements, repeatedly, upon which the motion was based. In a House of Assembly where the members are supposed, if not actually, to be, at least, conduct themselves like, gentlemen, the defense of Mr. Robson must have rendered such an hypothesis untenable. It may be well to remind those members on the Government side, who covered the retreat of Mr. Robson by their votes, of the old Spanish proverb, " Show me the man and I'll judge hiin by his com pany." Of course, those amongst them who are endowed with a certain amount of self res*>ect, will try to shield themselves by saying that it looked like persecution, that it was an attack on the Government, through one of its mem bers ; that Mr. Robson's extraordinary conduct and language were evoked by the strong feeling of injustice in being selected for the constant object of at tack by the opposition. This is the merest nonsence and is very discreditable to the persons who stoop to use it as an excuse for shutting their eyes to the real merits of the case. So far from trying to cover up and stifle the accusations brought against Mr. Robson, they should have carefully investigated every charge and purged themselves of the onus which must rest upon them of being particeps criminis. If Mr. Rob- | alleged to have been committed by him, he would not have given expression to language which even our local journals thought it prudent to suppress; he would have insisted upoa having a searching investigation in order to make the charges recoil upon the heads of his traducers. But, this he did not do; his conscious guilt left him nothing but personal abuse and the vilest invective, that would have disgraced the entire Province had it been published. We have heard it stated, that the Government members had a meeting in caucus and came to the conclusion that in order to save the Government, it would be necessary to swallow the horrible mess prepared for them by Mr. Robson, and simply vote down the motion. The Victoria Times commenting on Mr. Robson's defense, says :— " His spn.ch was disgraceful la the extreme, as well'for its unblushing coiif.»sion mm for its outrageous insolence aud venomous abuse. Kor the oredit of oar legislative mm •embty, and the good name of our public men. it is sincerely to be hoped that sueh a tirade of Billingsgate may never be heard again. " The opposition proved to the House and to the country, during the discussion, that it matters not how reprehensible or illegal the actions of members of the (iovernment may be, the supporters are ever ready to form themselves into a whitewashing committee, such as voted yesterday, to retain men in their position who bave set the laws of the provinco at defiance. It wu intimated by Mr. Bole, while addressing the house, that the " Committee " wonld quire to have on hand a large stock of brushes and whitewash between now aud the end of the session. Our opiuiou is that the " Committee " is equal to the task The speech of Mr. Bole was quite worthy »f that gentleman's acknowledged talent as a debater, and will raise him greatly in the estimation ol the public. His language, though cuttingly severe, was appropriate, and presented nothing that the profunctory defencers of Mr. Robson could refer to as unfair. They were reduced to sneers or the usual lawyers' weapons—the efforts to twist some descisions of Ottawa judges into precedents for Mr. Robson's conduct. In fairness to the Attorney General, we again quote from the Times .— " We felt some commiseration for the Attorney (jeneral, who was consciously weak in his defence of his colleague. The exigency of the position preclmloil silence on his part, and hence he had to make the best of a bad case. But he damned the Provincial Secretary with faint praise, and sought to justify by quoting precedents, the debasement nf the electorate by wholesale bribery. Alex. E. B. Davie is net the man we take him to be if he would not sooner cut off hia right arm rather than do a "dishonorable thing to secure his own election ; how then can he justify tbe purchase of a constituency with public muuey. Surely be does uot care ao much lor office, or for tbe retention of Hon. John Robaon in the cabinet, thst he is prepared to defend in another what he would condemn in himaelf *" The ordeal was a terrible one for the Government, and has certainly inflicted a wound that cannot be cured. It has been proved that one of its most im*)or- tani members gained his seat by what has been denounced as bribery and corruption. In this Province, we are aware, that these charges are not looked upon as the heinous crimes, deserving of prompt political death, they would be regarded in the Old Country', hut they will, nevertheless, be felt by the people of British Columbia, as disgraceful to their l-egislatiire and nothing emanating from Mr. Robson will ever be regarded with favor. The paltry little bids of Mr, Robson and his friend Mr. Higgins, for popular favor, such as woman suffrage, women as school trustees, |ieti tions industriously worked up in various localities, on the subject of temperance and licenses, will all fall to the ground, owing to the knowledge of their origin. It is much to be regretted lhat laudable efforts like those made by the advocates of temperance and moral observances, cannot find a better exponent that Mr. Robson ; however good the suggestion may be, inviting legislation, the mouthpiece at once invites criticism and involuntary opposition. 'The advocacy ot Mr. Robson always recalls to the mind, hypocrisy and political clap-trap. We mention these facts to show how heavily the Government is handicapped by the presence of Mr. Robson as a member of the Cabinet, and how utterly impossible it will be to continue, under such circumstances, to struggle against popular opinion. We recommend the Attorney General and his colleagues to hand in their checks while they have a small vestige of reputation left ; the revelations to come, may affect more than Mr. Robson. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. There would seem to be a vast I she will go on some adventure on mt own account. We feel perfectly -■_,. amount of time required fur prcpara- *•*•■ that the wholc world ■« be * PROVINCIAL FINANCES. Mr. Robaon made his budget speech on Monday last aod would seem to have lieen revenging himself for the exposure to which he was subjected a few days liefore. If this was his, object he certainly succeeded very well, for he informed the people of British Columbia, that the result of his four years management of our affairs is simply bauk ruptcy. He has managed to pile on deficiency after deficiency until we are about half uu 'Ktne igu4*lA^t.fd. as the reyenue under would be very difficult to aay what we may owe if he ia permitted to handle the money for another four year*. Thoae facta are self evident, aa also, his cool effrontery. How does he recommend ua to get out of our diffi oulty I By allowing him to borrow a million and add considerably to our taxes I Our readers mnst remember the inflated bombast he indulged in, the laat time ho made a bud get speech, and how absurdly extravagant he was in hia statements about the wealth that waa about to flow into our provincial exchequer. His trash about t'ie millions we were to realize from the Vancouver lots which have done little more than pay the cost of mapping, surveying and selling. We have surely learned enough about Mr. Robson's baseless statements to hesitate hefore giving him the power to pledge our oredit for another million ; when that is spent another million will be aaked for and new taxes imposed to provide for interest and sinking fund. It may be quite tnie that he has a banal of servile followers who are prepared to vote anything ho may ask for, but that fact ahould not prevent the people putting in sueh a decided protest that minuter, and majority alike would be stopped in their wasteful career. The cooking of publio accounts ia a well-known pro- cess and we ara not to know what becomes of the funds. All we know is that nur noble Finance Minister wants tn borrow another million to be spent aa he and hia colleagues deem beat, and that we are to pay additional taxes io oonsequence. We ahould recommend a halt being called. What are onr ministers doing about the 1250,000 from the railway company ? If that sum ia recoverable, all right; that will help our finance minister to tide over his worst difficulties, and hia flattering picture of the increasing wealth of the Province ought at least, to enable him to creep out of hia poverty. If the money cannot be recovered, the deed conveying the aix thousand acres oan he cancelled and the land would doubtless realize a considerable aum, If Mr. Robson's statements have the slightest foundation. The people of thia Provinoe must not allow themselves to be fleeced with impunity nor deceived by a finance minister wbo may in aome way desire to screen the railway company. If our ministers have given away the public land without consideration in any font, thay ought to be impeached and made as far as possible, personally responsible. No one can now doubt that the land at English Bay was given for speculative purposes in which the Province was to be made a partner; but the speculation haa utterly failed, and aa It waa entered into without the consent of our people—the latter being the only sufferers—we must insist upon being recouped aa far as possible. One thing must be very dear, that, if we must provide funds to carry on the Oovernment, we must have men in office in whom we can have some faith. Tlie present ministry took office with a great flourish of trumpet, aud their constant cry daring tbeir entire career waa the wonderful contrast their able management exhibited when compared with that of their predecessors. We now find that they are unmitigated humbugs and have landed us in bankruptcy besides giving awsy our lands. tion if the [lowers to which war notions are attributed, really mean to light. We learn that the French are preparing all their fortresses on the frontiers of Alsace-I-orraine on »liiib tlrcy aie working day and nij;lit ; that ihey have erected wooden barracks for an unlimited number of men ; that they are rapidly concentrating troops near the frontier, and that the new repeating rifle has lieen furnished to a great |>or- tion of the army. We learn ih.it the German troops arc being nutdc familiar with the new wea|Min, thai tbe requisite additions have been made tn the respective branches of the forcer*, and that generally the Fatherland is bristling with bayonets all round. W'e lean: that Russian Poland is Imle better than a great ramp and that Austria la timing the forts, coneentraiing ti.n>;.s Uld constructing railways lo hei (lallician frontier. We learn that Bulgaria ami Knu- mania are calling out theii respective armies; that Turkey, having already a great force under anus, has called out the reserves. Wc arc luld that the Ameer of Afghanistan is creating a great army to oppose another great army of his reliellious subjects and that British troops are going to help the Ameer. We notice that a Chinaman lately arrived in bis native land, inluiins his friends on this continent thai the Chinese Government prohibits the emigration of any more Chinamen, because they are all wanted for soldieis; in such a case, China will have a pretty big army, the population being somewhere about three hundred millions. England is recruiting and building and hiring fast cruisers, as tjuickly as she can. In fact all the World is, and has been, preparing for a great war, and lhat is all we can learn. In olden times a moderate amoutit of preparation sufficed before war was commenced, and the rest of the business was done during the progress of hostilities. No one seems to know what the coming war is to be about. We know very well that Russia wants Constantinople ; she bas been wanting that place for the last hundred years and it is quite likely she will be without it another hundred years. But Russia never goes to war when people expect her to do so; she generally begins when she thinks other [iow ers are unprepared ; so that, acrording to that system she is not likely to go lo Wlir J11 --1 ran,.' On I'' ' ee.«»l-">■>', »!,-. fn.-. ut massing troops in various ui.__.;on may be devised simply to tire out her neighbors with evpense ami then she will assure them of her peaceful disposition and induce them to disband their troops. The Czar will visit all the sover eigns, embrace and kiss them all round then go home and commence war On somebody. Germany since the septen nate has been granted, has forgotten all about France, and is making a lion ol Del-esseps; who knows if the two nations—Germany and France—will not shake hands and swear eternal friendship ? As for the Chinese and AITghans they often appear on the Stage in their war paint and then retire into private life to cut one another's throats at their leisure. If we look al matters general* ly in this light, we might safely predict that there will be no war for some time to couue. We really think that the Governments of the countries likely to come to blows would rather lie excused but for reasons which they arc .li.in clined to admit, but which will bring about a collision somewhere and when people least expect il. We have before pointed to the wave of democracy and socialism which ia undermining society, destroying all the social liJcmaiks and uprooting molality in every form. To allow this decomposition of social unlet to proceed, would lie lo throw the world back to barbarism and general chaos. It is evident that religion has lost much of its hold upon the masses, and if there was no change to take place and people went on increasing whilst the means of gaining a livelihood continued to decrease, life and property would soon be not worth an limir's purchase. The present war when it breaks out will not be merely to gain a kingdom, to save a throne, to satisfy revenge or to preserve a province ; it will be to preserve civilization from the all destroying mob led by worthless vagabonds, who love anarchy for itself and hate social order, law, and everything that restrains vice and universal plunder. Thus the Governments have no choice; to stand still with great armies to provide for, is impossible, but they dare not disband them, because they would only be providing trained soldiers for revolution; and the pretense for war abroad is still too thin; none of them could furnish an excuse that the majority would deem valid. The old Russian trick of fomenting a rebellion and then sending an army to *iut it down, is thoroughly worn out, and the only chance for her will be to get France and Germany engaged and then volved in the war when it begins, and it will be prosecuted with the vigor thai. in waging war, each nation is endeavor. ing to escajie a greater evil. Peace societies and kindred brotherhoods wil' be silenced for years to come. A hy. 1'iirritical presense ol loving [icace for Itself) will be assumed by Government; when they think they have had enough ol lighting or when they have secured plunder with which they want to get away ; in some cases, however, it will be a rase of begging for mercy, and the prayer will only be granted nn guarantees for future good behaviour. Tin- siiong powers will form themselves intu mutual protection societies and put cm bs into the mouths ofthe masses. (ESTABLISHED 181)2.) Fred. Eickhojj i.I.si.KAI.

Mr. Orant, Mr. Heaven and Mr. S«>mlin, asiiiiitetl iu the flagellation, the latter effectively, aud although his cat-like tenacity to political existence may give Mr. Kobson the .Appearance of a perfect survival, he will never be himself again iu the House. The House adjourned till Friday. Fkiuay, March 11th. Ily way of diversion, Mr. Turner referred to the Udlot obliteration afiair, but was told by the Speaker that that subject hsd lieen disposed of by the report furnished to the House. Mr. Dunsmuir in a weak attempt to annoy the enemy, proposed tho i e -appointment of the committee. Such tactics are not very creditable to a House of Assembly. Mr. Orr moved for correspondence and papera connected with the peace preservation forcoat Vancouver. The Attorney-General said that it would not be advisable to produce documents in the present stage of the proceeding... On division the motion was voted down. Mr. Martin moved tor correspondence re Utive to laud in the rear of lot 204 ou the north side of Burrard Inlet. Passed. Some bills wt.ru read a first time. Mr. McLeese called the attention of the Government to the state of the Ashcroft bridge which was iu danger of being carried away. The Jury bill was reported complete with amendments. Mr. Ilobson moved the second reading of his bill to add another unworkable chapter to his education hodge podge. Really this education buHinesB is lH-coming disgusting. So far an it eau be made availahle,it is turned into a political machine and about a third of the actual revenue ts npent upon it. The people of this Province must put a stop ti thin vicious and unnatural system ; we have other uses for our money besides educating the children of people who can well atford to pay for private tuition. After a great waste of time the Home ad journed till Monday when the estimates will be tnL.cn up, Tukhdav, March 15. A petition was presented from tho resi dents of Chilliwhack suggesting tliat ."-,;. 10 acres of laud were occupied by 50 Indian fauiilief). Of counte, the meaning of this is that a large portion of the land would Im better occupied by white families. Mr. Grant resumed the debate ou the budget and scarified the Finance Ministei he made some very good hits at Dnasmuir. Mr. Scmlin made au excellent speech and although the Colonist, as in duty bound, suppressed it, there can be little doubt it made a deep impression ou the House. Ue clearly demonstrated the untrustworthy character of the Government aud tho suspicious alloc tion of its inervile follower... He showed that if the Government continues to pile loan upon loan, the whole revenue of the Province will be required to pay iuterest. He gave conclusive evidence that not one dollar of the $250,000 Dry Dock refund had been -spent nn the mainland. The $750,000 given by the Federal Government to settle all claims against it, and which belonged to the Province generally, had been given lor tho Island railway, and the $250,000 received for the Dry Dock and promised to tbe mainland as its share, waa also used on tbe Island. Mr. Scmlin referring to the large grant of land to Baillie Grohman, said tbat the Provincial Government had interfered with matters that belonged particularly to the Dominion Government, viz. dealing with dams and navigable streams. He said, looking at the record of the present Government, he certainly would not be one to en trust them with the expenditure of another million of the people's money. The Donne adjourned.till evening. Ou resuming Mr. Semlin concluded a very eloquent speech, which has raised him considerably iu the estimation of the House. Mr. Martin, who is one of the faithful and useful {members of the Government following, made a long oration which was intended to neutra'ise the ell'cct of Mr. Semliu's peech, but it utterly failed in its object, Mr. Orr very aptly described the Government's system of asking for a loan, spending it, and then coming to the House to oak for another. He pointedly criticised the ab- mirdity of the Finance Minister's statements in relation to the sums he expected to realise from tin; sale of lots at Vancouver and strongly denounced the injustice lutlictod ou Now Westminster District iu the distribu tion of the public fuuds. Mr. Alien, another of the Government lackeys, endeavored to belittle the speech of Mr. Semlin,which, it was generally felt, had iurticted a heavy blow on thu Government, but as everyone will conclude, he miserably failed. The Attorney-General then attempted a gtmeral reply to the opposition speakers, but it was so very general that it did not affect the poiuta made by the opposition in the slightest. Sir. Anderson said something in support of his party. The House then adjourned, Wk])NK.-*imy, March 16. Mr. Kobson brought in some more of his temperance petitions which are becoming disgusting tothe House. Mr. Martin moved for a grant to provide water for irrigation; it is highly probable that more than enough of water will be furnished to the farmers, this year. Col. Baktr asked for a geological survey at the expense of the Uomiuion Government. He might ns well ask for something witty from Mr. Higgins. Mr. Stenhouse asked the Government why they had dismissed a useful and efficient constable at Comox. Tin. AttorueyGeneral Baid it waa for economy. He once excused hia discharging the son of one of his faithful followers on the plea that the appointment had been a "political" one (i.e.) to buy votes. The discharge of the Comox constable arose probably because his vote was not to be purchased. Mr. Orr's bill to amend the Vancouver Act of Incorporation passed a second reading aud was to be taken up in committee on Friday. The Vancouver incorporation Act requires a grnat deal of amendment, and when it is amended it will be found to be very little better than an abortion. The Fireman's bill passed a second reading ! after much discussion that amused the -.peakers interested, but nobodv else. The Athalwsca railway bdl occupied the r-emsin- derofthe day and did not elicit any very sptrkling eloquence or brilliant ideas. It is one of thoae bills which are brought into the House every session aud are profitable very often, to tbeir promoters. The House adjourned till Thursday. A T&AJTOB IN OUS MIDST. On Frida> U*t, the Kobs.mun daily published un .ii tide which has a great deal of the honest John style aboat it; it is limply a renewal of the attempt to destroy this city io order to build up Vancouver. It would appear that all hope of the branch or extension from Port Moody to Vancouver is about exhausted, and in despair, it is attempted to accustom the pooplc of this city to regard a construction of the line from this branch to Vancouver, as a possible event. Now everv one cogniz-iut of the facts is fully aware that a continuation of the branch" to thi*. city, carried to Vancouver, would reduce New Westminster to the status of a way station and a very small oue at that. While the branch terminates bere, we shall have the C. P. X. steamers coming to this port regularly, but if the line was continued to Vancouver, there would btMMMMMfr sity for them here. The specious attflWUi. to make a case by lugging in tbe iutersUte law receutly enacted in the United state*, plainly shows tbat the writer o! the article referred to, Iwlieve* the people uf this city to be an Ignorant tet of fools. Some of our readers must have observed that Mr. tlds, the traffic manager of the C. P, IX., has given notice that all contractu for through freight to the I nited State--, will he cancelled ou and after lit April next, and that, con'-equcutly, so far from there being an increase of traffic from tho United States over the C. P. K., It is likely to be very much reducedL The traffic from the Sound to the C. P. EL will In a very short time disappear entirely. The Northern Pacitic Company are fully alivo to the desire of the C. P. R. to divert their traffic, and they are in every way, meeting the views of shipper.-* und passengers ; so much so, that, instead of the C. P. K. attracting any of the traffic this way, they are more than likely to lose Home of their own. The N. P. Co. will have a powerful ally In the G rand Trunk Company, w ho, it is understood, will reach the Pacific over the N. P. line. The N. P. Co. are hurrying tho construction of the tunnel that will give them vastly increased facilities for traffic to Taeo mu, and they will in this way neutralize the advantages claimed for the C. P. H. Their proposed branch to the Sound, from the C.P. U, was to start from somewhere about Hope, so that it would in no way help this city. All the ridiculous balderdash of the writer in the local daily, is simply to throw dust in the eyes of our citizens so as to prevent as far as possible, any objection being raised to the roubery of their birthright. They arc expeeted to sit quietly by and see the trade transferred from themselves to Vancouver ; to sec their property rendered worthless. The writer of the article talks about the line from Ladner'a to Popcuin, as being likely to help this city by having a station on the opposite side of the river. It in evident that the writer is an unprincipled traitor, becauso he must know that there is a toad from I-adner's to Vancouver and that a petition bus been largely signed during the last week to ex pend more money iu making tbe road available for all the traffic of the North Arm being carried to Vancouver. So that, if these -make*, in the grass succeed with their schemes, this city will be stripped of overy voitigcof trade or travel ou the railway from Popcum will carry all the produce to Vancouver via the road across Lulu and Bto Islands, aud the farmer*- and traders from the whole of the south side of the Fraser will goto Vancouver for their supplies. In regard to the unprofitable character of tbis branch, we have no concern ; the company made a bargain which they no doubt,thought wss a good one at the time ; wo promptly carried out our part of the agreement M our ratepayers have efcry reason to know, and we expect that the company will comply with the conditions of the contract. Our branch being our own, must terminate iu tbis city aud auy attempt to extern! it must be stopped by injunctions. Tbe reference to Port Moody and the suggestion that connection with that place may bo closed, gives us the impression that the article in question was written by honest John himself—bo- cause the wish is father to the thought. Kveryoue knowing anything about the C. P. Railway Act must know thut Port Moody is the statutory terminus and that connection with that place,could not, if it was even desired, lie closed. On the contrary, when further profit from the sale of lots at Vancouver, is supposed to he at an end, the works will be commenced at Port Moody and that place will be the real support of this city. All attempts of honest John and his companion speculators, will be unavailing to bolster up Vancouver, and thu unfortunate property holders will be sacrificed in consequence of the failure of the speculation. The article, altogether, is a most shameful attempt to impose upon the citizens of New Westminster, and if any doubt existed as to tho motive of the writer, the smallest amount of consideration should dispel it. The base ingratitude of a paper, of the worthless character of this fraudulent daily, which some of the people here pay such an absurd price for, in taking the money of our citizens and impudently betray ing tbem at the same time, exceeds auy* thing in our experience. If the paper is supported,after the article of Friday eveniug last, onr citizens will ouly have to thank themselve.- if disastrous consequences ahould follow th** lalse impression created hy its misrcprt'vcntatioii'!. —Mainland finaldian.

[From tlir Vtetvekt Sti/mlu,,/ ) Mr. Bole. —Tlie rcaolution before the Ituus* is oar ol considerable influence, an.l nue which slmul.l demand st our bauds a full aad iar.-fiil .It-bat*-. It had, how.-.«i, two asr-iects, namely, a husinew* aspect, and a serin comic one, suit according ta. principle, he would take the business lirst, the plea sur* afterward*. The charge involve.!, was a grave one, namely, l-rilx-ty, anil endue in- tiuence during an election, and that by a Minister of tin- Crown. To the allegation* made by the Honorable mtmehtt ■ N. w Westminster City aud District that Mr. Kobaou had agaiu and again told the .lectin- that he had JIOO.OOO ol the Dry I lock money still in the Treasury and it would lie spent iu the District and Nauoiuio, if JMnMMMB. uieinliers were returned, and tlir.-riti-n.-.l them with a withdrawal of patronage ii opposition in.'ii were returned, Mr. Koheon only gave bis own denial and some crooked reports from his owu paper, the C/dinnlmm — indeed in one instance even the . lemmtmuns report stated that Mr. Itnh.nu added thi Dry Hock nioiiey was now being *r,ent on the mainland aud that the balauc.r would I" spent there and an uuoiiymous li-tu-r writ ten by some babouu utirshipp-'r who stigmatized Urr. I-iduer aud Bole as bsre faced liars. Anonymous letters sre the w eapons of cowards, who would fain stab in llu* dark. aod the expressions used were those of blackguardism aud us the receiver wss us bad as the thief, the action of the provincial secretary in readiug such a letter was both cowardly and blackguardly. Ite seemed to think his word was all "Hiwerful and that when be made a deuial that settled the matter. Thu public accounts showud that Mr. Kobson hail given orders for $1,000 for public work, duriug his election and there was no pretense, whatever, that he had any formal or proper authority from the chief c-oinmi*- siouerof public works, no gazette notice was evi published, as re,[unci by law. Mr. Robson's denial amounted to very little as it would be in the recollection of the house that it often happened that Mr, l.i.b- snn made e statement on the floor of the House—and within the hour denied having ever made it. If the ease were liefore a jury of fair men they would aay ou tho evidence produced, guilty on all counts. Mr. Robson got iu by wheedling the Vancouvor vote to plump for him and then he showed his gratitiulc by be lug the first to give that city n peace pre- servation act and damage her fair name throughout the world, but it was ever thus: Mr. Robson always bit the haml that fed biro. The charge was sustained and ought to be understood fully. The comic part of the affair was tho Secretary lecturing on christian charity, "the devil reproving Sin." He rated his colleagues with being animated by ill-feeling against him, when at the same time he made an exhibition of ungovcrnuble temper, the like of which was never equalled on the floor of the House. But anger is short madness, and in his wrutli Mr. Robson forgot his discretion when he taunted Mr. Orr about the Canadian Pacific Railway Burvey, as he would no doubt find out when Mr. Orr came to reply, but lie had no wish to go into those matters with which Mr. Orr was so much moro intimately uc quaiuted. As tothe Hon. gentlemau proach ing, he had better keep that for himself, as on the opposition side they would none of it. When thev wanted good advice tliey would not trouble "Honest John"—whom thoy knew so well. The Hon. member concluded an eloquent address by expressing a hope that the government majority wouhl vote intelligently and not as a whitewashing brigade. The opposition could not keep tli majority from doing wrong, but if they were determined to do dirty work for the- govorumunt, the opposition would sec that they had plenty of it to do. RICH YIELD.

The rock assayed $970 to the toil, and the prospectors believe they have struck a bonanza.

The following is the text of the Act an it passed the third reading:— An Aot to repeal (in part) the ...Sum.iii Dyking Aot, 1878."

Scorpions have two kinds of eyes. Close together, near the middle line of tho Hhiehl that covers the head, there is a pair called the medium eyes. At the outer edge of the same shield, not far from ita outer anterior angle, on each side there are two, three, four or live that are called lateral eyes. Different scorpions may have six, eight, ten or twelve eyes, according to tbe species. The two kinds of eyes differ to some extent, 'ihey do not originate alike in the embryo. Lateral eyes begin with a sinking of the dermal covering or skin, forming a little pit. Iu this sunken portion the skin thickens ami changes its structure somewhat to liecome the lens, retina, eto., of the eye, which is thus formed of a single thickness of the skin. In the case of a medium eye there is also a sinking of the portion necessary for tlio organ, but the sunken portion turns to one Bide under the other skin, which closes over the pit; in this manner the skin in folded in three thicknesses, out of which the eye is then developed very much as in the spiders.

Erskine once was prosecuting a stage-coach proprietor, in behalf of a gentleman who hail suffered from an upset.

A three-pint dog with a five-quart muzzle of heavy wire was laboriously trudging along a New York street, recently, just after tha rain, when he came to a small excavation. This he mistook for an ordinary puddle, and walked into it. The heavy muzzle carried his nose to the Is.ttom, und only his tail remained visible The spectacle of a dog's tail furiously lashing the water attracted the attention of a neighboring apple-woman. After satisfying herself that it was not the sea-serpent, she caught hold of it and set the dog on dry land, with the observation : "Ifyoz had been a bob-tailod dog, where would ycz lie uow 1" Tbe genesis of military titles is peculiar. But when once applied they stick, as many other adhesive matters will. Probably the following manner uf acquiring the title of "major" will bo now to many : An insurance company in bringing an action, in one of the Federal courts sitting in San EranciBoo, against ono William Kedeker. Plaintiff placed James (alias Major) Wells ou the stand, to rebut certaiu testimony. "Are yon a major!" asked Attorney Taylor. Witness admitted that he had registered as "Major Wells." The attorney asked: "Where did you get your title!" Witness displayed some reluctance in answering, but on being pressed replied : "I never was in the army, but I was once drum major in a brass band. Isaac Barnes, of Boston, had a wife who was a devoted Baptist. Now, the Baptists were about to build a chapel, and Mrs. Barnes was interested iu procuring sob- scriptious to that end. She spoke to Mr. Barnes about it, aud as he intimated a willingness to subscribe, she sent a collector to urge him further. The collector said ho understood that Mr. Barnes was willing to subscribe. Mr. Barnes said he was, "I may as wi 11 say at once," aaid he, "that my subscription will be five thousand dollars." This fairly took the collector's breath away. "That is a splendid gift," ho managed to say, after a while ; "we shall lie very deeply obliged." "Not at all," said Barnes ; "but,' he added, "there is a condition tn the gift." "Oil," said the collector, "I'm sure any couditiou you£iuight uniiox would be well received by our people." "I'm not so sure about that," said Barnes ; "the c lit ion in that all the people baptized In the uew chapel shall he baptized in boiling hot water."

Ono ofthe chief attractions at Porter's was the "flip," u detectable compound of decidedly spirituous llnvor, which acquired a characteristic tone" by being heated with a hot iron. Of course, these practices did nnt escape the attention of President Kirkland, ao ho went up to the old hostelry and asked to see the landlord. Porter, who knew the president, was greatly disturbed, as be know he should receive a sevore rebuke. "Mr. Porter," said Dr. Kirkland, in a grave tone, "I understand iny young men oome up bere and drink your Hip." "Yea, sir," replied th* tavern-keeper, in a troubled voice, "they do." "Let me have some of that flip," said the dignified president. Whereupon a mug nf the beverage was drought out and waa tasted by Dr. Kirkland. Then fixing a stern glance upon Porter, who almost trembled under it, the president said : "And my yonng men come out here and drink this stuff, do they!"

Tbere is a custom practiced in northern China of Using hot water every morning to wash the face and hands. Men, women, aud children must have a basin of clean hot water when they get up, or before they eat their breakfast, in which to batb. feet and hands at least. Even beggar* bave hot water or use none at all. Seasons do not affect the custom, lu summer, when one wuiil'l think a cold bath would be grateful, hot water is used all the same. No one would insult his guest by offering cold water to wash iu. The water it almost scalding hot, ami the towel for wiping ia first used as a wash-rag. City people use little cakes of aoap, which removes dirt better than foreign soap. Country people are often too poor to buy it, or it is not convenient to get. Foreigners think this hot-water bathing weakens the eyes. Certainly no one cue live in China without noticing the nomlier of sore eyes which he sees. — The Artntnr/tit. In city life the health of the house is in the pipes, and if anything ia wrong in them there is death in the cup. But many a woman hesitates to call in the plumber, lest, w li.-u he goes Ids bill should take the house with it, pipes and all. If she feels in this way, ami yet suspects a leak that may be letting iu diptliena and typhoid air ou her family, let her buy a vial of oil of pepper- miut, a couple of ounces, and having ap- pointed others to follow the course of the pipes through other parts of the house, let her go herself to the topmost basin of the topmost floor, close the door of the room before uocorkiug the vial, fill the basin there full of sodding water, into which her peppermint oil shall be poured, and then pull up thu stopper and let the contents of the bardu escape as usual, if the other people, who are following the course of the pipes, detect uowhere at the remaining basins, or along the walls, or at any exposed points, the oalor uf the peppermint oil, then she may lie tolerably sure that there is no leak in the pipes. For where there is the most iufiui- tensimal pin-hole uf a leak the powerful aroiaa will force its way and be at once recognized, whereupon tin* plumber, regardless of expense, should be summoned without loss of time —77ir Anjomtt/t. A New York editor had a curious experience a number of years ago, when the Tweed ring and the corrupt judges, Barnard, Cardozo uud McCuun, were being vigorously exposed. This editor was particularly savage upon Barnard, who waB an excited. ingly popular man among his own court ollicers, all of whom were of rough natures —dangerous men. Oue day Tweed sent a note to this editor, asking to see him, and on going to the office he was told by Tweed that there was a plan on foot to "sand-bag" him if ho did not stop the exposures uf Barnard. Tweed begged the editor to atop, and told him he had better look out for his life, and finally begged him to be cautious, because if any harm came to him the blame would fall upon his (Tweed's) head. "No harm can oome to me after that," said the editor. "Why not!" asked Tweed. "Because ub booh as I return to my office I shall write out the facts of your threats to have me assiuated—" "My threats !" exclaimed Tweed. "To have me assinated by Barnard's men ; and I shall place copies In the biiinls of law officers to lie opened in case anything happens to mo." Aud he not only did this, but sent a copy to Tweed. A few days later Tweed sent him word that he need not fear, and the editor found, whenever he went into Barnard's court, that hi- officers were particularly polite to him. One of theso kept a road house, which Barnard's followers frequented, and here, too, the threatened editor always found himself fully protected, ACU1.E FOR DIPHTHERIA, R Munch, proprietor of a drug establishment in Leipsic, Saxony, publishes in the Pli/irrnaehist., a medical paper, a remedy for dipththcria, which has had surprising success. He urgently presses all physicians to try it for the benefit of all patients suffering from tho disease, and also requests the press to publish it. He says | "My little daughter, seven years of ago, has had tho diphtheria twice within some weeks, with severe fever, about 105 fiihreiiheit. Wc gave with great success rectified oil of turpentine (oleum terebinthinae rectificatum). Dose, one teaapoouful in tho morning and the same at evening." Adults should take one teuspoonful. Afterward drink a little lukewarm milk to alley the burning in tho throat. For children the second doBC can be mixed with milk, which will render it easier to take. The result is really marvelous. The inflammation of the abnormal diphtheritic spots in the throat grows lighter at the edges and in tins way they gradually shrink until in twenty-four hours they disappear entirely leaving no Bign, To quiet tho inflamed tonsils the throat was gargled at first every two hours, and then every threo hours, with the followihg gurgle: One ounce chlorate of potash to forty ounces of distilled water. This remedy has been used with perfect satisfaction both by adults and children, not one case ending fatally. The Milwaukee VolksliU/tt quoted this remedy from a German paper, and afterward received a letter from a subscriber iu Mitchell County, Iowa, saying that "a child iu the writer's family was attacked by diphtheria, treated by local physicians, and died ; then four other members ot the same family were similarly attacked, treated by this remedy, and, I am huppy to tell you, all recovered." A New York physician Bays that there Is nothing better for the treatment of diphtheria than tar smoke. It has been used by tuatiy physicians ill New York, and found moat efficacious. The method consists in closing the room tightly and burning a quantity of pitch on a red-hot stove or shovol. Thu smoke dissolves the fibrous matter that chokes the patient, and gives almost instant relief, A remedy so easy to try is certainly worth remembering. A BRIGHT IDEA.

"Robs you of your'frau,' What kind of of uu animal is a frau!" asked the officer, whoae knowledge of the German language wan very limited. "My fran vos no animal. She vos a lady. She vim my wifo." "Ohi Oh! She's your wife, oh! Well, my friend, I am sorry, but I can't help you," said tho kind-hearted guardian. Tho Oerman lookod nonplussed for several minutes, and finally a smile lit up his round face and a bright glitter appeared in his eye. "1 know what f vos do," ho said. "I goes ine hy dot house and I calls dot fellow a loafer and he bleeds my nose and blacks iny eye and I vill go me by dot bolice stations antl get me out a warrant for dot man for 'salt mit battery."

Tb* Westpheliaun have a carious explanatory myth regarding the nightingale. Thev iiuajrio* that the bird's song may he- rendered in the syllables of human speech : Is tit, is tit, is tit, lo wit, to wit,—Trizy, Trixy, Trizy, to bucht, to bucht. But tlie but syllabi*, are the usual shepherd's cry to bis dog when he wishes the sheep col- I*, ted. Therefore Trixy must be the name of the dog te whom the cry to bucht is addrened. Therefore the nightingale must have been a shepherdess, whom a shepherd cursed because she always postponed the marriage she had promised. He uttered the wish thst she might not sleep till the day of judgment. Nor does ahe, for may not her voice «till be beard at night as she cries tr. bucht, to bucht, to bucht to her good dog Trizy! The same people give a strange >\\- Slanation of th* face of the shun), or -under, which is all awry, with its eyes on one sad* of it* face instead of being straight, like the eyes of most other fish. Originally ita face was a straight and sensible fish fane, but on* day it insulted a passing herring and mad* a Booking face at it, lor which, as a punishment, it wa* never able to draw its t-oe back to ita original position.— 77,.

Many people believe that they receive warnings in dreams, and it is impossible to rebut tne arguments for such a belief, but wc may confidently assert that any general reliance on the confused and contradictory indications of dreams would involve the most Inconsistent vagaries of conduct, wholly unworthy of a rational being. Our reason and our dreams are often so hopelessly at varlanoe. that to desert the former for tlie latter, would be equivalent to relinquishing tlie blight shining nf tho sun in order to pursue a treacherous w ill o-the-wisp. The writer ouce had occasion to engage a passage for a long sea voyage, and the only VMtelavalUble at the desired time was a steamer whioh had lieen a great favorite in her day, but waa then so old that doubts were entertained regarding her seaworthiness.

Undeterred, however, he nt sail without serious misgiving and had • moat agreeable and prosperous voyage. In this case the dream was evidently no supernatural warning, but rather the result of the effect produced upon the imagination by the hint* thrown out regarding the vessel's supposed unseaworthy character. Presentiments of all kinds ar* almost invariably groundless, and when ou rare occasions a presentiment ia verified, the explanation is the very simple and obvious one that in thia instance onr fears correctly forecasted the future.

Can we wonder, if astronomers should already boldly entertain the thought of making a complete survey of tho heavens by means of photography ! Admiral Mouohez has shown that, In the course of ten years, fully 16,000,000 of stars might be made to record their exact position and true relative brightness in a series of large photographic charts I Nothing done by man since astronomy wa* a science, cau be compared with such a work as this, whicli yet might be well accomplished in a decade of years. But even all this, wonderful as it is, seems less impressive than what has been done and what astronomers are even now planning to do iu applying t'ie photographic eye of science to analyzing tho structure of remote suns. Already they have made the waves of light from many of the leading stars record their story on tbe tiny shore of photographic ;film, alter journeying millions of millions of mile* through space. But now a oomplete survey is to be made iu this way. A giant eye, ao constructed that not only will it gather, but it will sift the light from multitudes of stars at once, will be directed in succession to different parts of the heavens. For an hour at each view will thi* monstrous eye, more wonderful hy far than the ichthyoaauriu eye with which we began, gaze analyzingly on many hundreds of (stars at onoe, leaving ou record at tho close of it* survey the photographic speoter of all those star*, by which the eleineuta present in them, nay, the very condition in which theae elements exist, will be written down in letter* and word* which (for the astronomer) ther* is no mistaking. Truly, a wonderful era of astronomical research Is now beginning. Probably the next half- century will reveal more about the millions of tenant* of interstellar space thau all the year* which hav* elapsed aince Ilipparchua, noticing a new star, waa led to form the first known star catalogues.--/ 'on/hill Mi/.ia- STORY OF THE AMERICAN MAIL SERVICE. The early history of the postal service between thia country aud its "plantations" across the Atlantic is ourioua and interesting. In the first attempt to establish such a service it wa* proposed that the packet boats should sail irom tbe Isle of Wight. On the 25 of January, 170S, the lords of trade reported to the Earl of Nottingham on a proposal mad* by Sir Jolfry Jeffreys for establishing a regular aervice of packet boats between that Island and New York. The lords conferred with Jeffreys anil learned the exact nature of bis proposals, which were to place on the Hue two ships, for sailing or rowing, each of 160 tons burden and carrying fourteen gun* and a crew of forty men. One of these ships, would, he said, he ready to "part" a few days after entering into sn agreement, and sail direct to New York, remain there thirty days and then return. The next jacket was to start two mouth* after the tint. Jeffreys reserved the right of taking passengers and fifty tons of merchandise on each voyage. For remuneration he aaked th* sum of £300 kinonth.and stipulated that the ship* should receive "effectual protection.'' The aot of 1710 give* us a curious insight into one of the moat frequent cauBes of delay in the conveyance of letter* from one part of America to another. This was the rapacity of the ferryman in levying blackmail on the post boys, so aa to speak, notwithstanding that the ferries were to have been free for the post. So it was enacted that any delay on a ferryman's part of a longer time than half an hour should be punished by * fln* of £6. By the act of 1710 an increase in tlie]po8tagc,'rate was made, and the following scale fixed, so far aa concerned New York: For a "single" letter, one shilling; "doable," two shillings; and "treble," three shillings; a letter of an ounce weight being carried tor the modest sum of four shilling*. The postage to New York remained at the same exhorpitant rate foryeara. Thn* it happened that when in 1760 a certain American divine aent to a friend at Lambeth two tract* of his own composition, the recipient acknowledged them in these words: "Good, Dr Johnson, I am greatly obliged for the two tracts, but the postage on them amounted to thirty-five shillings." —St. James Gazette.
