There were two bills on the subject, one introduced by Mr. Bole and the other by Hon. Mr. Davie, and it is prenunied that both possessed such excellencies as to prevent the committee (rom being able to determine which was the better.—Mr. Orr moved that quarterly statements showing the state of the provincial finances be published in the Gatette. The motion was rejected on the ground that tho preparation of these statements would bo expensive.—Mr. Bole's juror amendment uict was read a first time.—The Vancouver amend* ment bill was pronounced by the speaker a private bill, and ruled out. The speaker decided that as the new oity had obtained t special charter through a private bill, it could not be regarded as a public measure, and amendments should bo obtained by petition in the ordinary way.—In considering the West minster incorporation act it was found that powor had been givon to tlio council to impose a tax on personal property, and many of the clauses hud to be changed to make the bill homogenious. It was, therefore, referred back to the committee. The story of tho deep sea is an expensive one. Tho cost of compiling and publishing the reports of the Challenger expedition is said to have already exceeded £200,000, the work being still unfinished. Experiments have shown tlmt tho skin of a whito person, transplanted on tho skin of a negro, becomes black as tho skin of the negro, and that black skin inoculated on whites loses its pigment and becomes white. It has lately been proven that coll'ire is not only a powerful stimulant but has even more valuablo properties as an anti-septic. It operates strongly in destroying cholora germs. Similar qualities are suspected to belong to tea. Of all the deaths from poison in Grent Britain, forty por conk nre said tn bo due to opium. This largo ly arises, in the opinion of Dr. Wonter Blythc, from tho pernicious practice of using soothing preparations to quiet infiiuts and keep tliem asleep most of tho time. One preparation nlone has been calculated to bo the undoubted cause of death of 1150,000 eliildren every year. The possibility of conveying fish alive during a montli'strip was demonstrated near the close of last your, when specimens of several varieties were taken from Paris to stock the writers of Oliili. Thore was considerable loss of salmon, gudgoons, lot us nnd linvls, but the oarp, tench, euls, minnows, etc, mostly survived. A low tonipernture nnd constant circulation of nir through the water were kept up on tho trip, BY TELEGRAPH.

Thoy are now determined to secure the release of tho pas- seugers and crew liy a writ of habeas corpus, and have engaged Mr. Milton Andres, a celebrated admiralty lawyer, to prosecute the case. The outrage committed on the saloon puBsengers and the stewardess, by forcing them to leave the Parthia and go aboard the hulk, is causing severe comment in the oity. Tho captain and chief engineer are kopt prisoners on tho Parthia, while tho ship's doctor is allowed to go ashore. Party politics, and not opposition to the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company, is the cause of these arbitrary measures. The Parthia is a favorite steamer with intending passengers, and sails on Saturday at noon, THE LATEST ACQUISITIONS.

Allen, who could scarcely contain his detestation of nny nicusuru which proposed to interfere with one's personal liberty to do wrong. Mr. Duck delivered a long and eloquent address, in whioh lie pictured the horrible cruelties that had been practiced in tho name of religion during the dark ages, and seemed to be in a fearful state of mind lest the adoption of Mr. Bole's bill might enable some puritanical fanatic to make a dead Duok of him. If suoh men as Mr. Duck had lived in the ages to which he referred, they would have gone ovor very quickly before the relentless bigotry of tho men who thon held authority ill civil and religious matters. Hut tlio Sabbath is n no- uirssiiry nnd most important part of tlie religious systoni thnt has emancipated us from the delusions of our forefathers" and if it wero abolished wo should begin drifting buck to barbarism. Ool. Baker also opposed the bill. We wero living in nn ago of religious thought nnd action, ho said, nnd ought not to interfere with the beliefs and desires of others; and then went on to quoto Rev. Ohas. Kingsloy ns an authority against tlio strict enforcement of Sablsith observance. Did it over strike tho colonel that if wo ure "living in an ago of religious thought and notion," that condition of existence would never havo been reached if tho principles put forward by himsolf had provailod! If there had been uo Sunday, thero would have been no Christianity, for the one is a part of the other. Col. Baker nocd not have appealed to the authority of the lato Canon Kings- ley for the violation of the Sabbath: he should have appealed to the authority by which the Sabbath has been established. This is a Christian nation, and although wo believe in giving perfect liberty to all men to hold whatever opinions they choose, the laws of tbe nation ought surely to be in harmony with the great moral law book on which they aro founded. Any law or theory which comes into conflict with the biblo must bo regarded with suspicion. Mr. Duck wns followod by Hon. Mr. Uobson, who 'maintained that ono of tho ohief glories of our nntion wns the fact that it wns a Christian nation, and he considered there- would be sorious danger in meddling with the principles upon whieh our grcatnoss is founded. "Shall wo abandon tho Sabbath altogether!" asked tlie hon. gentleman; to which Messrs. Allen and Duck responded, "Why not!" The inference is that these two members at least would be quite content if there were no Sabbath. Mr. Grant brought up the old objection that some people regarded the seventh day as the proper Sabbath, while others thought it should be tho first, and people should not bo compelled to keep a day in which they do not behove. But if Mr. Grant's generosity led him to apply such a principle as this to all laws, he would speedily discover his mistake. If some of our citizens happened to lie Mormons, would Mr. Grant lie as willing to abolish the laws against bigamy so as to accommodate their peculiar religious beliefs! Laws are made for the Irene- fit of the majority. It might be wrong to compel a Jew to work on Saturday, but to prevent him from working on Sunday is a very different matter. If Sunday observance is deomod in tho interest of the state (and we are suro no one will dispute that it is), the duty of our legislators is dearly to maintain and enforce it; and those (a very small minority) whoso consicenees rebel against the maintenance of Christian principles in n Christian country have the liberty of remaining or going as they think best. While they chose to remain, however, they must accept such laws as seem necessary under our system of government The debate*was closed by Mr. Higgins, who expressed the opinion that our present Sunday laws were good enough if they were enforced. Mr. Higgins seems to have a conscience which, if ho had the courage to follow it, would have forced him to voto for the bill; but ho voted against it. We believe there is a Urge and growing sentiment in this province favoralrlo to Sabbath observance. That sentiment has greatly increased during the past year or two, one chief cause of the increase being free immigration from other parts of the country where people havo become more ae customed to respect tho sacredness of tbo day. Some parts of British Columbia are inhabited by a race of men who have, through association, Income habitual Sabbath breakers, and there arc a good many of this olass scattered everywhere through the oountry—and more tlinn one of them haa managed to get into the house, thn time is riot fnr off, however, when peoplo of this class will not be able to leaven the laws of the oountry with tho loose moral sentiment* May »» Wlding.

U.—Second Wednesday of eaeh month, tl P.m., basement nf Jlnptisl Church* - Alcohol. Dr. F. It. Lees, tnuiBlatua an essay ou alcohul Jiy Prof. 0. Bungc, wlio fills tlio cUalr of phyaiolutjical eljuniis- try, in tlio University of Basel, unci \vo mako quotations from the article as it appeared io the.llcformer of Glasgow. UA defender of beor may object, that it ia a means of nourishment. Well, it certainly docs contain somo small portion of carbon-hydrates, ns dextrin and sugar. (Mr. Liveaey, in his malt liquor locturo in 1834, estimated them as one penny worth in tho gallon; whilo Liebig, in 1843 reckoned that in a whole ton-there wbb no moro food stuff than is contained in a five pound loaf j or, to be exact, that the food particles in nine quarts of boor could all be laid ou the point of a tablo knife.) But of Hicbo carbo-hydrates thero is no luck in tlio food of most men—gonorally indeed, from ignorance nf tho ono proportion required, thero is already ton much—-an over supply whicli induces obstruction ami so promotes disease. It is sometimes aasertod, that alcoholic drinks, in their diluted forms, assist digestion. As a matter of fnct, tlio exact contrary is the case. Manifold trials on men aud animals—especially experiments on men with the aid of tho stomach-pump —and direct observation of the ofl'ects of alcoholics in persons with gastric- fisstula (openings into tho stomach itself) have invariably shown that even moderate desos materially retard, or completely arrest, tho digestion of animal food. That the moderate use of alcoholic drink is not merely usuIoh, hut is iu a high degree damaging, is established beyond rational denial, by tbe returns of tlie English Lifo Insurance Institution, and by tho Friendly Societios, in whioh the average life duration of the total abstainer is significantly longer than that of tho (so-called) moderates. The question of using alcoholics as a means of enjoyment, or luxuries, how- over, must be strictly separated from their value as either food or physic. Aa medicine, alcohol has been looked upon as an indisponsible drug; but thon its vory paralysing influence seems to constitute its chief value. Alcohol is one of tho milder amosthics, and by its paralysing property, induces through the spinal marrow and brain, heightened reflex excitement. (When the bridle hangs loosely iu the hands of a sleepy rider, the steed scampers wildly awuy.) Heart action being in- sroased by the use of alcohul, it is oo- eassionally useful iu threat oued cullapse. [That alcohul is not* in di sponsible iu the great run of disonao«, is proved by tho tou years' favorable experiouco of the Loudon Temponinco Hospital, whero it is absolutely dispensed with in DUO caaosoutof the 1000.] Alcoholics are only justified as a prescription in accute suffering, for 'tho alleviations of transitory conditions, just as wo may ueo morphia or chloral hydrate, but uot fur chronic disease. A common plea, indeed, is that water is so unwholesome 1 Is it, then, a great kibor to conduct water from a neighboring soring or pure country stream, and a small thing to fetch wino from Burgundy or Bordeaux ? The fact that .'drink enjoyment' spoils tho palate for moro natural and enduring pleasures of sense, involves moral sequences of a serious kind— that it also affects the nervous and mental system.in higher spheres and functions. The whole mental organs aro in close sympathy, and alcohol equally wastes the forco of all I maintain that the person who renounces alcoholic drinks misses nothing but misery; on the contrary he wins more of life's joys, because possessing more of life's potencies. ... i m • Be iircnmitpiicl* An old Chineso proverb says, "Do not Btop in tho cucumber field to tie tho shoo." Tho me-ining is very plain. Some ono will be likely to fancy that you nro stealing fruit. Always remember the injunction, "Abstain from all appearance of ovil." Uo not atop under tho saloon porch co rest yourself, however shndy tho trees may he, or however inviting the chaira.

In order to accomplish this inhuman act without danger to his shanty and its contents, ho took the dog a short distance away, and, after tying a stick of dynamite round its neck, set firo to it. Tho crackling of tho burning explosive startled the poor animal, and in terror it made directly for the shanty and crawled underneath. A moment later there was an explosion,and dog,shanty and all its.contents were blown into shrods.

There is one canal being made, 700 foet in length, which will save the navigation of fully threo miles in tho tortuous course of tho Nicuinckl. The excavation is 11 feet in depth and 25 feet in width, sufficient for the passage of stcrn-whccl steamers, which can asqpnd the stream sixteen miles.

Some time since it was stated that Sir William Wiseman would leave Honolulu in a few days under scaled orders with H. M. S. Caroline. His foitit of destination was then unknown. b is now reported that it was for P'alinings Island he was bound, whero ho landed on the 14th of March and took possession of the island in Hor Majesty's name. Tho British flag was hoisted and a salute tired. On the 15th tho Carolino left for Christian Island, which was takon poscssion of in the same manner and a similar form gone through. Then on the 17th sail wos made for Penrhyn islnnd, which was reached on tho 22. That island waa also taken possession of, the British flag hoisted and a a:\luto of 21 guns fired from tho Caroline. This island is the largest uf the three taken possession of. Sir William and the Caroline, it is understood, will reach Esquimalt somo time iu the summer. •Wizen h' Meeting.

The roturu football match between tho above clubs came off this afternoon ou tho cricket grounds, l'urt uf the Vancouvor contingent arrived on thu J o'clock local, but the majority reached here on the 2;30 o'clock train. As usual, the fair sex of Vancouver were aoiiBpicuous ou the field, forgo where tlioy will, the clubs of Mm tormina! city have always a large following of thu Iridiosi The Wostminsler hoys did not lack Support of the same description, in fact it scorned as if our ladies turned out even in stronger numbers than at thu last match. Among the Vancoitveritos many of the old players wero conspicuous by their absence, among whom was Mr. C. G. Johnson, who is u host in himself. The home team showed fow new faces from Ihe last match, but in every easo Westminster waa strengthened liy thu change. The teams were composed of the following players: Vancouver, Holt, Clinton, Johnson, Sinclair, Stewart, Brown, Boultbee, Graves, Edwards, Millington, Hutchins, Rogers, Thomas and Watson (captain). Westminster: Back, Dockrill; three-quarter backs, Lewis, Wilson and Hamber; half-backs, Parkes and Turner; forwards, Lister (Capt.), Corbett, MeMartin, Mowat, Clapcott, Hall, Port, Pittendrigh and Clute. Messrs, Ham- mersly and Walker umpires. Tho gamocommenced shortly after? o'clock, and from the first was hotly contested. Both Rides played a splendid game, though Westminster played a much bettor team game than their opponents. Tho individual play was at times very brilliant, yet both Bides wero so evenly matched that there wero vory fow opportunities givon for such cxhibions. At tho end of tiio first half no advantage had been gained by either Bide, and tho honors stood easy. Both had fought hard and woro glad of the 10 minutes breathing spell. When tho ball was kicked iuto play for the last half, Westminstor went at it with a rush, seemingly determined to carry the leather into touch notwithstanding all the strength pitted against them. After a few minutes of very hot and not particularly gentle play, Lewis got tho ball, and, by a beautiful run got a touchdown for Westminster. Cheers went up on all sides which were prolonged for sevoral minutes. Tho "try" failed to score a goal, but still the odds were in favor of tho homo team, nnd that was great satisfaction. From this point to the close of the match the play was feirco and hot, tumbles were taken and given, and some of them rough ones, with tho greatest of good feeling, iu fact a man scarcely got hold of the ball bofore he was on Ins back with possibly a couple' of cllaps on top of him. Whon timo w.ib called no further advantage had been gained by either side, aud Westminster stood winner by a "try" to nothing. The Vancou- vorites left about 0 o'clock for homo. Geo. Bodge, sr., a well-known citizen of Emporium, writes that ono of his mon (Sain Lewis) whilst working in the woods so severely sprained his ankle that he could scarcely get home, but after ouo or two applications of Dr. Thomas' Eclec-, trie Oil, he was able to go to work next day. . ,^^m.msmkmm——mmmmm—m Personal.
