Such a condition of affairs avould justify annexation by conquest in sclf-dofonse. One who has known Gen. Boulanger in his private life says;— "Ihe jeune et beau General is in reality neither jeuno nor beau, but a worn-out old fellow of 56, who has his grey hair and beard carefully dyed dark brown, and who uses perfumes and pomades like any coquette. At home he is often in bed for days together, with feet bandaged and body wrapped up in ten layers of flannel, in order to get rid of his gout. And when he appears in the street lie minces his stops like a youth of 18 who wears his top hat for the first time." According to American Notes and Queries, "in one of tho cellars of the llaths kellor at Breman, thero are twelvu large cases of wine, each case containing the celebrated Rosonwciu which was deposited there in 1624. Ono case of this wine, containing two hundred and four bottles, cost five hundred rix dollars at that time. Taking all expenses into account nnd compounding the interest, a single glass, one-eighth of n bottle, would cost about $300,000, or about $300 a drop. It must have been an "injunetor" that did the above liguring, Snys an exchange : Professor Schurniun, the distinguished Canadian, who fills an important chair in Cornell University, has been invited dilFbrent cities of the'Uni*,«;«*J» in In accepting a splendid post ,_"\T\ educational world of tho neighboring country, Professor Schurman has not abandoned his principles as a loyal British subjeot. Ha may, consequently, be dopendod upon to give a good account of his country to foreign audiences. It does sooni unfortunate that men of the ability of Schurman, Osier and many others, should have to look abroad for proper recognition of their: attain. nients. Tho London IKotW says: The Emperor of Russia has decorated several French authors, and has thereby offended the Germans, somo of whose principal writers would also have been decorated, no doubt, but for the fact that neither the Emperor nor the Empress ever reads German. His Majesty's favorite authors are Dumas pere, Balzac, Paul de Kook, and Edmund About; while Ihe Empress likes Prosper Merimee, Victor Hugo, and Octave Feuillet; and she also reads many English works, preferring those of Dickens, Scott, Marryat, Thackeray, and Wilkio Collins. They nre both particularly fond of Lover's novels, nnd "Ten Thousand,a Year" nnd "Valentino Vox" are constantly taken up by them, and "Vivian Grey," and "Henrietta Temple" ore also favorites, A bright detective in Macon Georgia, says the Macon News, captured a burglar in a very clover manner. A store in Hnzelhurst had been robbed, and there was seemingly not the slightes clue to work upon. Whilo examining the premises tho detectivo noticed an apple, out of which two bites had beon taken. His professional instinct caused him to oxamino the apple, and he saw upou it tooth marks that wero not only irregular, but peculiar, nnd ho resolved to Hud the man who had bitten thnt npplo. He visited a store in the neighboring village whoro he knew thore was a number of loaling negroes. Among the number thore wns a roal negro dude, mid his manner and conversation convinced the detective that lie had found the man he wanted, but it was necessary to put him to the test. Syping some apples in the store the wily detective purchased a dime's worth and treated the crowd. The dude negro had taken just one bite, and as he was raising tho apple for another away went the apple and his two wrists wore joined with a shining pair of bracelets. It was done so quickly that the negro stood as if paralyzed and submitted to bo led oft' withont resistance. He subsequently owned up to the entire affair.

A Honne finitrl by Fire. From our Victoria Representative, Viciobja, Jan. 20.-J. R. Tait, a former Victorian, but now owner of tho "Carbonabe" claim at Rock Creek, arrived in the city last night via the Sound. Mr. Tait was interviewed tonight by Tub Columbian representative and stAted he came out via Ruby City, Nooksack Valley and Whatcom. Thoro was about twclvo of snow, ovor which ho travelled on snow shoes. Mr. Tait saya tho mining outlook on Rock Creek is very promising. About forty miners are wintering there nnd all aro sanguine Ho has shipped a thousand pounds of oro to San Fran* oisao via Sicamous to havo a practical assay made; also four hundred pounds to Butto, Mont. This oro assays about sovonty-ono ounces of gold to tho ton. A fire broke out last night at eleven o'clock in a small cottago on Johnson street, between filanchard and Quadra streets.

A dozen or more down-river gentlemen, who have votes in Westminster, arrived Inst evening by the str. Louise to watoh to-day's election and cast their votes for tho "People's Ticket."

[From First Page- be in a better position financially; but there is no proper provision in the bylaws, and we must go on for fifty yeara paying the same taxes en tho railway debentures. I need not say that, if elected, I will assist to carry out any measures that will benefit tho city. Mr, Shiles—"Why did tho injunotors try to quash tbo by-laws jf" Mr. Lord—"Thoy did not try to quash the by-laws; thore was no such application," Mayor Dickinson — "The papers served on the council stated that the action was brought to restrain the council from dealing with tho debentures, and also to quash the workshops bylaw." (Applause), Mr. Shiles—"1 would liko Mr. Lord to explain that." (Applause). Capt. Scoullar was called for and camo forward amidst applause. He said:—"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, tins iB tho first time 1 have addressed a largo audience, and I nsk a fair hearing. You havo road my address; that address has received considerable abuse, but I notico that nearly all the other candidates havo adopted about tho same platform. I have been in the town for some ten years, and have always been to tho front in enterprises for the advancement of tho city. 1 went in with other gentlemen and put money in tho woollen mill at a time whon it was represented to be languishing and Mr. Lundbom said to me that it was in danger of being taken to Victoria. We put 89,000 in it, and it iB in a nourishing condition." Mr. Scoullar here roforred to the extensive building operations ho had engaged in in the city, and continued; "lam prepared if improvements are taxed to pay my taxes (applause). I nm in favor of improvements of all kinds, but, of course not to rush faster than we can go at first, I consider that Westminster has tho best position commercially of any city in tho provinco. Speaking about taxation, our assessment us a city is ridiculously small; it injures the credit of our city. Business-men, seeing tho small figure of our ratable property at the banks in tho cast and in London, think that Westminster is a village of about 600 inhabitants; I was told so by a gentleman from the east, who was surprised to seo auch a largo aud thriving place with such an absurdly small assessment. Wo should have nn assessment really of at least 83,000,000. You know 1 have takon a prominent part in tho railway; I havo spent considerable monoy and a great doal of time. We had a hard time to get tlio necessary stock taken up to save the char- tor, and tried to get many of our citizens to take stock, among them, Joe Armstrong, that deolined. If we had not succeeded, the city would have lost the charter, and I am surprised at tho abuse that we have got from some of the citizens. If there is any citizen now that wants stock, we are ready to share it with him. 1 consider I am as good a business man as any going, and if elected I am going in for pushing the town ahcud. I am not going in under false pretensions. (Applause). Mr. Herring was called upon and said: "Like Capt. Scoullar, this is also my maiden speech beforo a public audience. I am independent; I belong to no party but that of honesty and right. I have had to stand alone, I am sorry to Bay, ou tho sido of right, in the council, on some occasions. It is a baso falsehood to say that I am opposed to the Southern Railway. Look at my interests horo, and tell, mo if I can afford to bo opposed tothe railway. Mr. Scoullar talks about his buildings; I think I can point to a few buildings nlso. I built the opera house, as you all know. 1 would not have built it if I had not looked ahead and expected the city to advaric'o1 as a result of tho Southern Railway, I have never opposed tho railway except on two occasions—whon Shoefe & Co. attempted to secure tho debentures, and when the trust committee was appointed. I was satisfied that the council had no right to appoint that committee. If they had taken my advico, it would have saved them somo law expenses. If elected, I will give my honest and hearty support to the railway, which is the life of this city. I am in favor of all improvements that will help the city. We can lay the foundation of those that wo may not be able to carry through, I ask you to elect me on Monday, and I will work in the boat interests of the city. If not elected, I shall continue to do the same. (Applause). Mr. Shiles—"If you arc elected, will you vote yourself on three committees? Would you pursue the same course that you have in tho past with regard to the foldora ?" Mr. Herring—"The finance commit- too did the best they kuow how In tho matter of the folders." Mr. Shiles— "When one gentleman offered 850 and another ono 8100 to advertise in the folder did you not object, and nt the same time work in an advertisement of your own?" Mr. Herring—''That is the first time I have heard it. Auy man that tells you that he offered me any money to put an advertisement in the folder Ib a darned liar." (Sensation). Mr. Wise was next called and spoke briefly: "I do not- think it is necessary to go over what threo or four have already gone over. If you elect mo, my first step will be to get the railway oarried through in the nest possible way, (Applause). It is necesssry that we should have water works and also sewerage. I will give my attention to tho public park, I will always bo willing to carry out everything to the best advantage so far as thu finanoes will allow. I am in favor of tho market and will go in for starting it With regard to the present counoil, I do not approve of tho way they havo oarried out a great many things, but I believe they have done the best they oould, If you elect me I will sec and havo less law and more improvements, (Laughter and applause). Mr. Thos, Cunningham was the next candidate called out, and he spoke as follows: ' 'Mr. chairman and gentlemen, I am sorry I have to appear in a rather disabled condition. (In explanation, Mr. Cunningham appeared with his arm iu a sling from a sore finger). It is rather unfortunate that I have had an accident. 1 have not been able to solicit a voto In this election. It waa oharged againat me in Thb Columbian that I was An unwilling candidate. While I would be if everything wu running smoothly, I feol it is my duty to come out at this time and work for the oity. Thb Columbian correspondent stated that we wanted volunteers to servo the city. You don't always find that tho volunteer who is so anxious to serve his neighbors is the very best man for a publio position. He is very likely to have aome ulterior motive, It is the hardest thing in the world to get honest men to touch politics. This business of writing anonymous communications is a bad ono. The man that attacks his neighbor in this way is a scoundrel. I have lived fifty years and have never writton an anonymous communication. There hu boon a good deal of shuffling hen to-night. Some men have tried to make you believe that they are the most earnest advocates of tho railway, but they did not put their names on the bond." (Applause). Mr. Cunningham then started to tako up tho injunctors' pamphlet, but Mr. Curtis said he would do that later on. Mr. Cunningham: "I want to get a slap nt these injunctors, but 1 will leave it to Mr. Curtis. My record is clear on tho Southern railway scheme. Fur five years I havo been working on that railway scheme. I do not regret it. I do regret that some misguided men (laughter) aro throwing obstacles in the way. We must make the city an attractive place for peoplo to live in. Victoria lias profitted much from sueh a policy and we can loam a lesson from her. The time is not far distant when we shall export lumber, fish and fruit in groat quantities, and all experience goes to show that success in exporting products must depond upon competing routes. Wo must have competing lines, if wo aro to reach the markets of tho world—if it does cost something. (Great applause). Don't be frightened about this fifty yeurs business; there's nothing in it; you can't eat your cake and keep it too. Now 1 can calculate this way. A roast of beef is a good thing for dinner. I buy a roast of boof, which costs me 82. In fifty years, at compound interest, that beef will cost 8H00I (Laughter). I could have bought 10 cents worth of corn meal and filled my stomach, but 1 prefer the roast beef, because it's just what I want. It furnishes me with strength; it bracos me up; it helps me to raise a family. (Uproarious laugh* ter, and long continued). Don't lose Bight of the fact that the injunctors tried thoir very best to quash the bylaws, When they say they are in favor of the railway you can moot them with this." Mr. Cunningham here made a calculation to show that the injunctors had spent mure on the proceedings than, if carried out for fifty years, wouid build the railway, and elicited muoh laughter aud applause. Mr. Cunningham continued at considerable length, but we are forced to condense. He was in favor of making this the agricultural centre of the mainland, and was sound ou Btreet improvements, sewerage and other questions. Mr. Ovens waa loudly called and applauded, and said: "Mr. Mayor and gentlemon, I think thero is very little left for mo to say. You havo read my address; that is my pliitionn nnd 1 stand by it. Aa to whether 1 am sound on the railway, the citizens' bond will tell that; I am down on that bond for 81,000. (Applause). Progress is my motto. I am in favor of having water—(A voico—'Very little water will do you, Tom.'—immoderate laughter) works, and will do my best to obtain this and other necessary improvements. If eleoted, I will do all that my humble endeavors can accomplish for you." Mr. Townsend was next called upon. He said: "I have not come prepared with a speech, but I can tell you that if you choose to elect me I will do my very best for tho city. I am not awfully anxious to be elected, but it is time that some one took hold to see that all tho money does not go into the hands of the lawyers. I do not know what you have had, as I came in late (a voico—'We have had plenty'—laughter). We want sidewalks and other things. I am going to do my best. If you elect me, I will do my vory best to see that the f nnda are devoted to the best purposes. (Applause). Mr. Reid was then called. "Make it short," exclaimed a voice from the audience. Mr. Reid said: "That is first what I am going to do, I am in favor of doing all I can for the railway. One of the first things that 1 will advocate is the preparing of exhibition and recreation grounds, aud it wants to be dono early—the first thing ln the tyring. (Applause.) Streets and sidewalks are the most important things that wo want in this town today. I know dozens of men, young fellows, that would buy lots and build houses, if more streets woro opened out. The market is a very important thing; the business men of this town have lost by not having a market before. Wo are naturally the centre of this district, and should not lose any of our advantages. I believe in encouraging manufacturing industries, as they help to build up a town. I am in favor of doing something to get a flouring mill here. Waterworks and sewers are very important matters. Thoy will require careful consideration. 1 do not believe they can be taken up this year. It is a fact that we want waterworks and sewers, but we must not go too rash, If you elect me, I will do all I can to advance the interests of this town." Mr. MoPhaden came forward in answer to calls from the audience, and said : "I won't occupy your time tonight. I am solid .on tho railway ?uestion. (Applause), Furthermore, am convinced tbat tho water-works are of great importance and should be taken up immediately—the sewera later on. I think we should strain a point this yonr to get tho exhibition grounds put in good shape. We may not have an opportunity very soon again to havo the provincial exhibition here, and we should mako it a grand success. (Applause). Streets and sidewalks are badly neoded to bring the business portions nf the town nearer to the business centre. If elected, I shall work to tho best of my ability and judgment iu the interests of the city. (Applause). The mayor here read a noto * from Mr. Calbick, one of the candidates, regretting that he could not be at tho meeting, on account of sickness in his family. Mr, Curtis was recalled and said: "A pamphlet has been circulated by the 'Injunctors' in whioh aro some wonderful figures, but theso figures aro not facts. Our good friend Mr. Lord would have it that they are correct and we cannot get round them, and though I confess to their correctness I will show you the absurdity of such figuring. (1). The writer of tbe pamphlet says thore is no provision made for the redemption of the debentures, but I want to tell you that the redemption clause could not have been drawn any otber way, and that aa it stands the city has amplo protection. (2). The writer of the pamphlet says the lawyers will tell you that the rate can be ehanged to suit the circumstance*, and ho goes on to say: 'The council has just as legal a right to change clause 1 as to change clauses 3,4 and 5 of the bonus by-law, and if they have a right to change either thoy have a right to wipe them out altogether.'"' Mr. Curtis here read a clause in the new charter showing wherein the council his a right to change the fixed rate as circumstances justify. Continuing, Mr. Curtis said: "No doubt the writer referred to thought he was miking a great point against the railway when be laid before you this array of figures. I want to prove to you to-night that othen are capable of figuring fully as pro* digally as he. In the first place, to show you the result of suoh calculations take our assessment roll of last year of 8862,511 and assume the real value of real estate to bo $1,000,000 and an increase of 20 por cent, ns soon as the railway is finished, for it certainly will increase to that amount. This would give ub $1,250,000 value of land to assess. Take the 8250,000 and invest it every 0 months at. G per cent., 50 years, compound interest and you got what ? 8138,720,000. What a rich community we would bel Again take the 83,000 anuual sinking fund, invest every year at 6 percent, for 24 years and we get 8152,446—or 82,446 more than is required to redeem the whole of the debentures. For exam* pie take an individual lot worth to-day 8200; with railway an advance of 25 per oent., or 850 on the lot. If that profit on the lot, 850, wore invested every 6 months for 60 years at 6 per cent, that man would be worth $138, - 620 and still have the lot loft. During that 50 years he would pay taxes on said lot to tho amount of 8110,896. Deduct this from his 850 investment and you have a surplus of 827,724 to get married on. How the increase of assessable property will affect us this year, I will endeavor to show you. The present assessment roll is $802,511; area of land to bo taken in under now oharter 400 aores; deduct 80 acres for streets to be mado by owners in subdividing and we havo left 320 acres estimated at 8500 per acre giveB 8100,- 000. To this add the increase of land only within the old limits sinco the last assessment, say 25 per cent,, and you have 8215,628, thus giving tho city an extra amount of real estate to assess of 8375,028, saying nothing of the certain increase on land in years to come. In this way the railway debenture rate will be reduced from 14 mills to 9| mills during the present year," (Great applause and cheering). Mayor Dickinson, in response to appeals from the audience, said: "Tho gentlemen you hnye hoard this evening have made great promises and no doubt will carry thom out if possible. But where is tho money to come from to carry out all these schemes ? Our revenue is only a paltry 810,000. We are assessed at 8802,000, while our Bister city is assessed at something over 83,000,000. Our system of taxation must bo changed. Thero is oue property owner in Westminster who has a monthly income of 8250 from his buildings rented and on whioh he pays not one cent taxes, while the poor working- men are taxed to pay their share of the city's expenditure. Now, gentlemen, I ask you is this right 1 (Cries of no, no). To you workingmen I appeal to give a solid vote on Monday so that the large property owners of the front of the town may be taxed to build up the back pnrt of the town. (Tro* mendouB cheering). Frantic cries were made for Mr. J. C. Armstrong, who finally took the platform. He thought that if the fifteenth part of tho promises made by the candidates wero carried out Westminster would bo rapping at Vancouver's back door before the ond of tho year, The promises made by each candidate wero so liberal that were such a thing possible ho would vote for the whole sixteen. He hoped the city would once again pull together as it did at tho old drill shed when the C.P. R, scheme was beforo the people. Mr. Hendry was enthusiastically called for and responded briefly. "The candidates," he said, "have covered the ground so well that thero is nothing left for me to Bay. You .Ami know my sentiments in regard to the city's progress, and you know that I will do all within my power to advanoe its best interests. Water, sewerage and railway matters will have my hearty support as will al* bo all. matters of importance to the oity. The questions under discussion this evening have been woll ventilated and now I will nsk you to elect such mon on Monday as will, in your belief, best sorvo the city's interests. For my part I will endeavor to perform faithfully the duties of the high office to which you have eloctod me, and when my term is finished I trust to hold your respect and esteem the same as I do to-night. (Great applause). Col. McGregor was called on and said: "Although it would always afford mo much pleasure to be of service to you, I am not seeking election to tho council board just now—perhaps I never will—and even if I were 1 scarcely think that it would be necessary for mo to to express my viows with respect to the Southern Railway; the most of you know them pretty well. I trust that you will show your wisdom at tho polls, and elect the moat faithful and progressive mon. Do not canvas to-morrow, but bo up beforo the lark on Monday morning and, in the figurative language of an illustrious North Briton, "Light a fire on all the littlo bills." The meeting thon adjourned." PUBLIO OPINION «lvi_ Excellent Medicine to Electors, Nun-I'lcctori, and Others. Under this style Publio Opinion haa at various times during the lut two monthi addressed pertinent remarks to candidates, would-be candidates, aud injunotors; plainly setting forth the neoded improvements and the wants uf tho city, directing the candidates as to their courso, it they wish to lit in tho council chamber, and forcibly bringing homo to the injunotors the actual poiition they are in- defeated. And now we propose to mike a few utterances and assertions to electors and non-electors. First, then, to tho electors: Excitement at' a crisis like the present runs high, and while you, in the heat of the contest, might be influenced by parties who would fain save the strain upon your pockets as taxpayers, you must remember your duty as citizens to your oity and families; that you have to lay the foundation upon whioh shall rise to eminence the prosperity of our oity, and, if you should not reap the benefit, your children will. You must not quietly remain at homo to-day, not oaring how things go, or • feeling indifferent as to whether things are ohanged or not You owe your correct vote In the interest, not only of yourself, but of future generations. Then comes up from every part of the oity a continual ory for a never-failing sup* Sly of pure water, and equally urgent i the necessity for a thorough system of drainage, in whioh disease cannot lurk ready to seize the populace unawares and carry bright memben of families and society to the tomb. Your natural resources of trade of the fertile valley of the Fraser muat be conserved, a market established to transact the business of thoso who como irom above nnd below the oity to vend their produce, and, jointly with this, a counoil ohamber and offices appertaining to a city hall must be built; so that we can always have a place in whioh to hold not only buiineu meet ing! of the council but ratepayen1 meetings as well. Then, it is no uso getting up in ohurch meetings and bewailing that the boys and young men of the city are frequenting saloons, or ore enticed thore by the more convivial- surroundings than you have given thom : it is for you to see that the men you vote for will aid in establishing public recreation grounds, where their manhood may be strengthened, nnd a pleasant public library and reading room, light, airy, comfortable and enticing, whero their minds may bo improved. You ciunot—you must not—plead that you have done without all these things. Your forefathers did without the steam engine and electricity ; you would be in a lorry pickle without them to-day, and you cannot afford to drive the rising generation away to cities where they can have these, their rights, supplied to them. See to it that eaoh candidate yon vote for promises this recreation ground and publio library. And then think of the humiliation of having to direct a stranger to two streets baok of Mr, So-and-so's, or opposito or noxt door to Mr. So-and-so's, instead of to No. 37 or 38 Mary or Columbia Btreet —don't forget this important item— and then, laat bdt not leut, whilo the question that interests us moat is practically settled, aee that you vote for no man who did not think enough of the interests of the city to sign the citizen's bond to the railway company ; becauso, if they will shirk their duty in, this, they will shirk thoir duty and play will your interests in tho council, if you mako the unfortunate mistake to olect them to a soat therein, take cake you no not spoil YOUK BALLOT PAPER ! VOTE EARLY 1 votb right 1 Help thoso who are aged or infirm to the poll; call to the city those whom you know to be away, ao that they may exercise their franchise. Don't vote for tho man who, at the last moment, wants to take the popular view of things; tell him, plainly, you see his little gamo. See that no moss or cobwebs are hanging to the coat collar of the man wishing your voto—if thero is, don't vote for him. And, now, don't let your interest in the right lead you to commit a breach of the peace, no matter how you are taunted; these tactics will be tried as a last forlorn hope by thoso who would havo the city retrogade. Now a few words to non-electors. You who have failed to seo your names placed upon the voters' list, see to it that you are not left in this predicament at another election, ion who are tenants, and cannot under the existing charter, vote, see that you use every legitimate means to havo the franchise extended, so that you, who have to produce the wherewithal, may have the right enjoyed by tenants in any other oity and have tho power to vote in January next, nnd at this election use your influence to elect a "progress party;" you can do a great deal; do it; for, in the prosperity of the city, lies your chances of prosperity and the possibility of becoming property owners, instead of, for want of trado, your having to search anew for employment and a home for your families. And now, you youug fellows, you have a claim upon the city fathers; they want to soo you rise up strong in business pursuits, morally, intellectually, and physically able to carry on tho business many of them have founded. Watch the events as they are passing now, cling to the ideas arising out of this struggle for progress, so that when you become old enough and stable enough to handle civic affairs your experience now gained may help you and as you have present needs, of the recreation ground and library, make your relatives and friends who have votes promise only to support those men who will save you the humiliation of having to contest for athletic honors on the macadamized Columbia street, or of holding convene on tho street corners. Your future prosperity lies in what is done at the poll to-day; make your friends lay the sure foundation to that prosperity. Public Opinion.

We are glad to observe that popular sentiment in this city is running decidedly in favor of the new (to this town) style of taxation— taxing permanent improvements ns well as real property. This, too, in spite of pronounced opposition on tho part of a few. In an article on the subject in last Friday's COLUMBIAN we endeavored, and, we believe, with some success, to show the perfect reasonableness and equality of taxing improvements, as against our present antiquated nnd unfair system, as well as tho benefits certain to aceruo to the city from the adoption of so sensible a measure. We honestly believe that not even the Southern Railway itself will prove a greater boon and means of advancement to this oity than the new basis of assessment which will soon be in operation. Abroad, our credit will be greatly enhanced, or, more strictly perhaps, raised to a level commensurate with our real status as a city. Tho results of this desirable end being attained will bo very appreciably and speedily realized in increased attention, capital and population being attracted to this field. In the city, the beneficent effects of tho change will bo none the less apparent. The municipal revenue of tho city will be considerably increased in tho first place. In judicious hands, tins will react almost immediately in stimulating the advancement and prosperity of the city. Then, property owning and buildins* on the part of the working men and those in moderate circumstances will bn encouraged because thn burden of taxation will be i-qunliJMl and the increased municipal revenue will enable the city to open up streets and sidewalks where none now exist. The largest reproductive property owners, those who consequently pay the greatest il mount in taxation, will reap the most liberal share in the general prosperity, on account of the speedy doubling tip in value of their property. Altogether, every citizen, in whatever circumstances, has reason to view with satisfaction mo _<_it-i..*' .-..iw.... t-i—v I*, u* uume into operation so soon with respect to our municipal taxation. The statistics of our fisheries, A*c, published in The Oolumdiak a few weeks ago have already borne fruit, bv being copied into American and other papers. An American exchange introduces the subject as follows: "It is generally supposed that our near neighbors, the British Columbians, ore very slow people who will never amount to very much until they join in the great American procession. This is not entirely the case. They manifest much enterprise, and are developing their fine natural resources with great success. Tlie fishing interest is one of their principal industries. They expected to pack 200,000 cases of salmon in 1888, but had bad luck, and only secured 70,000 cases. This is the second season of failure. They hope, however, to do better this year. One thing they did do in 1888 which is very important. They developed a new industry, and are now tnking black cod aud halibut from deep water. The business promises to expand to very large proportions. Much capital is invested in salmon packing." China's first railway, between Yientsin and Youngshan, hns now been in operation about threo months. It is eighty-one miles long, nnd most of the way the track is laid on embankments eight feet high for protection from inundation, Tho company is comprised of Chinese officials, and an English engineer hod charge of the construction, and tho bridges and rolling stock are mostly of American manufacture or design. The road cost less than $0,000 a mile notwithstanding the heavy earthwork, and notwithstanding low fares and freights, the enterprise promises to be very remunerative. The Chinese, at first much prejudiced against the road, have already discovered its advantages and uso it freely. Li Hung Chang is greatly interested iu it and expects to obtain the imperial sanction for ita extension to Tungchow, fifteen miles from Peking, during this year, although there is much oppo Bition in some conservative circles. Japan is building railroads rapidly, and now that China has turned the first sod, further progress is almost assured. The railroad there, as everywhere, oannot fail to effect great industrial changes. The dense population and cheap scale of living will make freights and fares proportionate, and whotever China has to sell will be landed at tide-water on the lowest terms, In India wbloh il naturally ai conservative aa China, English skill and capital hlive already established cotton, jute and other manufactures which are competing with American and European goods in Oriental market!. Some of the ablest and most influential meu of China are now advocating tho naturalization thero of foreign manufactures, but they propose to do it with Chinese capital and to become independent of foreign skill as soon as possible. The Chinaman never divides with an outsider, except temporarily to effect some ulterior purpose. When China fairly starts on the road on which India and Japan nre already moving, American and European economists will have some new problems to solve. ' Our American neighbors are evidently looking forward tb the time when, after having "assimilated" the whole of America—North, Central and South — they will, like Alexander, weep because there are no more worlds to conquer. They don't fancy the "weeping" business, however, and are preparing to survey, with the viow of annexing, ono by one, the nearest heavenly bodies. To this end, they are improving their telescopes, regardless of expense. Representative Butler, of Tennessee, says the New York Sun, has introduced a bill in Congress to appropriate $1,000,000 to bo expended, under the direction of the secretary of the navy, in the construction of a great telescope with a lens GO inches, or 5 feet, in diameter. Tlie diameter of the Lick object glass, the largest in the world, is 36 inches. In view of the fact that many astronomers regarded the success of the great Onli- forninn telescope as more than problematical, on account of the difficulty of casting and figuring such huge disks of glass, Mr. Butler's proposition is decidedly startling. But it should be remembered that, thanks to the success of the Paris glass makers and the incomparable skill of the groat American telescope makers, the Clarks, tho Lick lens has turned out to be so perfect that the croakers havo been siletfeed, nnd wonder has taken tho place of doubt. While it would undoubtedly bean achievement thut would tax to the utmost tho skill and experience of the artisans and artists who should undertake the work, yet it cannot be said that the construction of a telescopic object glass of GO inches diamoter is impossible. Sucli a glass, if successfully made, would be a much greater improvement over tho Lick telescope than that great instrument was over tho largest of its predecessors. To show this it is only necessary to remember t lm t the light gathering power of nn object glass varies as tho square of its diameter. Tlie largest glass beforo the completion of the Lick lens was the 30 inch telescope of the observatory of Pulkowa. The light gathering power of the Lick telescopo is to that at Pulkowa about 13 to 9, or one and a half times as great j but the power of a CO inch lens would be to that of the Lick telescope as 36 to 13, or nearly three times as great. Such a glass would be four timcii ua p_ i*»t*v^-*; t.t,n Pulkowa ■._i._--.pe.

If elected I will endeavor to the best of mv ability, to place our city In the front rank of the cities of B, C. Tlio following important questions will lmve my careful uttentton: 1. Railway,—I will use overy legitimate means In my power to bring to a successful termination the building and completion of theSoutuera Railroad, und will treat liberally any projected railway which may wish to run into our city, always carefully guarding the best, Intel csis of the eity. And ills my opinion If wo are truo to ourselves nnd bury any little differences that may exist and work shoulder to shoulder, we can make New WeBtmlnster tho greatest rnllway center and most Important city between Seattle and Alaska. 2. Watek Supply.—I am In favor of the city owning Its own waterworks, for there Is a very largo revenue to bo derived from this source, if properly conducted, nnd, If elected, 1 will at once take up th is question and deal with It on business principles, Water rale debentures when Issued, Dear their own vnlue and will not be one dollar's tax on the ratepayers. 3. SEWEnAQE.—This Is ono of tho most import mit questions thnt the new cnunell will have to ijrapple with, and, as there Is bound in boa large emigration here this your, It behooves ns to bo nl.vo and got our city well advum-cd sons to keep nwav those(ircntldlsoaBBH.whicli wl* so mercf- (ullyescapi'd Inst.venr. And I hnve no doubt If you . led. llie right, men a sehemo can tie f-ni, ii[i whereby tho cily can lm properly smi'i red. and lite revenue derived from He.'snle of water be mude to pnv the Inicfc.-ui.iHl sinking fund for both water works and sewerage. ■1. StueI'.ts—Something must ho dono ntoncolo open up all streets in the cily so ns to wive workingmen and moolianlca ii eli-niee to gel tutlielr lotsand buildings, and, 1/elected I will give Mils subject mv itnreful attention and honrty support. able cily hull, and If tin! .finances of tho eity will allow It, I will give It my warmest support. 0. Street LtfliniNO.—I will favor the extending and Improving of our system of street I Ightlug, for there is no doubt it will stand considerable Improvement. 7. Pahk.—In order to mako the coming Rural show a success we muat put a ponton of the eity pnrfc In a fit. eo^QtUtn min suitable tu'lldtngB, etc if iwSw t will do my best to make the grounds ft credit to the royal city. I am also ln favor of rempvlnr* thn it»7<*-ht*.j- atu-Mps on Aloort Orescent and planting n few shndc trees to replace the stumps. Nature Iiob dono much for our oity und it only wants touching up a littlo to make it perfect, 8. PunLio LinnAiiY.—Thero Is no doubt n new building Is wanted to replace tho delnpldated ono now occupying a valuable lot, nnd thoro Is no doubt In my mind, but that a suitable one could bo erected with stores underneath audllbrnryabovo; nnd the rents from snld stores would more than pay for Interest and sinking fund, and leave n balance for keeping the libra* ry in proper condition. 0. Manufacturers.—I will encourage any manufacturers that contemplate starting business In this city, treating them Inn liberal manner, and will use every eflbrt to show them the advantage of doing business here. It is well known that manufactures aro tbe backbone of any city. 10. Communications.—I will urge upon our representative tho necessity of the Dominion government subsidizing a'dally boat between bore and Kiehmond and nlso between hero and Ladners Landing. Wo must also got better connections with the surrounding district. 11, Letterboxes.—I will also endeavor to huvo the postal authorities supply und put ln place letter boxes ln the suburbs of tho city. 12.1 will also urge on our city member the necessity of having tho local government place u sum of money ln this year's estimates to put the North Arm rond iu a fit condition fur travel. 18. STREET NAMINO AND NUMBERING.— If elected I will urgo upon my colleagues tbo noccsslty of having our Btreets properlynamed and buildings numbered, as Is always done In well-regulated cities. In fact, any project thnt may be brought up for advancing the Interests of tho city will liavo myi -ireful attention and hearty support. I remain, Your Obedient Servant, R S. SCOULLAR. REQUISITION.

"You have to jerk and haw nnd gee to keep 'cm from pulling their necks off stretching out for eating on each side, and tlie man that can drive 'em under hucIi circumstances and not cubs laado- Harving nian for sure. I've boen driving for Lln; boys to-day and iny old bones acho mut my throat is sore from jerking and wliodjiiug, and thou, besides, corn-gathering time is not what it used to be, and it don't bring tbe frolic and fun of the shucking like It used to; but I don't say a word,' for I know if I did some of these youngsters would say -the old man's liver hain't flopped,' so I just grin and bear it and com* fort myself by thinking of tho days when I wus young and of the good times we had then. va ■ »<* "Corn-gathering then was a frolic, for we knowed tbat a good time was coming. The corn wasn't throwed in tho orlb in thom days, hut a big pile was mado in tho lot uud then the night was Bet for a shuck*, ing and the settlement gathered in—whito and black—and the corn was shucked, put in the crib and the shucks penned all in ono night I've seed a pllo of three thousand bushels shucked and put up in one night, and thore wasn't a tiard person in the crowd, for thero was fun and frolic aad songs and dances, and there was 'looking for the last ear' before anybody knowed it, "Them old shucking- are things of the past, but the generatfona to come will never foost on melodies sweeter than tbe nigger songs of tho old corn-shucking days. I've sat ut night and listened to the crowds as EGYPTIAN WOMEN. J.Vri.lluiiUipp* of Thulr Looks, Dress, Manners ami Customs. ln youth the women oi Egypt, write, a correspondent of -Truth, generally have lovely forma—plump, supple and elegant. An excess of flesh is rare among tbem. Graceful curves, an upright carriage and finely-molded hands and feet are common characteristics. Their faces, too, arc usually pleasing and often beautiful, with tho richly-tinted softness of the south. So sweet Is the expression of these faces, so bewitching are ttie glances of their dark eyes, that an experienced traveler deolares they are tho most perfect women in the world. The eye.; of nearly all are large, black and almond-shaped; their soft expression, still further heightened by long'lashes and tho universal use of "kohl," with which they blacken the edges of the lids. They lmve oval races, sometimes a littlo broad, mul clear olive complexions. The lips are usually quite full; tlie nose is straight,though a littlo wide. Glossy black hair, with eyebrows that form a lovely arch, complete tlie features of these Birens, famed since Cleopatra for their beguiling beauty. They dross the hair in an elaborate fashion. It is eut short over the forehead, hut on either side of the faco hangs a full lock, often curled or braided, Tho rest cf ihe hair is arranged lu numerous braids, usual- ly from eleven to twenty-five, but always an odd number. Three black silk curds bearing little ornaments of gold are generally fastened to each braid, hanging down the hack in a glittering shower. The bend-drcss is a complex arrangement. It consists of a kind of turban, round which is commonly .bound a gay kerchief or [along strip of muslin folded into a narrow band. The latter is usually black or rose-toiorcd. The centrul part Ih ornamented for several inches with spangles that fall over tlie forehead, while the ends are deeked with a gay edging, and tassels of colored silks above which a few more spangles are sown. On the crown of the head-dress is worn a round convex Ornament called the "kurs." It is about fivo inches in diameter and as costly ns the wearer can afford. Wealthy ladies, and oven the wives of some small tradesmen, wear those composed of diamonds set In gold. Others wear a simple golden kurs, silver being seldom seen, even among servants. The head-vail consists of a long they wore on thoir way to tho corn _ They always wont in crowds and had their leaders, and tho young masters would go „_,,,„„_ .llu,lv,„.,Btl„ulll,l,„l „ ,_..„ along to protect them and thoy felt ae free ' piec_ of whito muslin embroidored at qach and grand as they havo over felt since tho cnd with coIored m and ld ._;., ^^ war, and thero has never been a gang of c,.cpo ornamonted with gold thread and spangles. This Is drawn well forward since-tho-war niggers that were near so happy ns those crowds as they went across tho fields singing: " Old maass Rive me holloday, He says he'll give mo moro; I thanked him vary kindly, As I shoved my boat from shore. Oh, my dearest May I You're lovely as the day, Your oyes so bright They shine at night, When tho moon has gone away. And then over on tbo river you'd hear tho big chain lumber on the bottom of tho ferryboat, and as tho ferryman pulled out from shore you'd hear fifty voices of another crowd join in thu chorus and sing: - " Then row away, row, O'er the waters so blue, Like a feather we'll float. In our gum-tree canoo. "But the climax was at tho corn pile. With two or three hundred niggers at tho foot of acorn pile as big as a houso a 'loader' would mount on top and start off with, upon tlie head, while the long ends hung down behind nearly to the ground. Tlio face-vail, ul ways worn in public, is a simple strip of white muslin fastened just below the eyes, from which it falls nearly to tho foot. It completely hides all the features except the eyes, but as theso aro commonly the greatest beauty of tho women, It servos rather to heighten admiration than to quell it, MEN'S IMAGINATION. Incidents Illustrating the Influence of the 'Hind on the Body* General de Trobriand, in his book'"The Army of the Potomac," relates many incidents illustrating the influence of Imagination. One poor fellow believed he had a ball in tho bead, and prepared to die on account of it. He died. Another with his eye gone and his eyebrows burned off thought nothing was tho matter.: Another I will start tho holler,' and tho rest instance was that of a surgeon who had would come in with, iluglelo.' It ran thus "'I will start the hollerl 'Buglelol' •I will start the hO-lorl' 'Buglelol' ■Oh, don't you hear me hollerl 'Buglelol' ■Massa'sgot a buglet' 'Buglelol1 'A ten-cent buglQ I' * 'Buglolol'" " And on and on that leader would'call' aud the crowd would answer till they would want a change, which was indicated by throwing corn at the 'caller/ and il never failed to bring him down, and then another leader would mount tho pile nnd he'd have something on the same style, but never tho same tune. And thus the night would wear along and the pile of unshucked com diminish. The lively timo would bo whon the pile begin to grow small and they'd begin to yell: " 'Looking for the last carl' 'Bangainalnngor 'Looking for tlio Inst earl' 'BanRSinalango!1 'Hound up tho corn, boys j* 'Baugamnlangol' 'Hound up the corn pilo I' - 'Bangam-lnngot1 "Then thoro was scrambling, for tho work been allured into the army by n salary, had been a man of luxurious habits. He found himself living without firo in a tent covered with snow. Ho sought to make himself comfortable by making a fire iu tlio open air and toasting ono side while tho other froze. He could not get used to Iho meager fare and no bed of the camp. Uut the roaring of cannon ended his career. He became livid, trembling like n lenf; he shook at each detonation and seemed about to lose his legs. "I am a dead man," tie at Inst exclaimed ns if actually shot. "1 must go away or I nm a dead man." And thero had not beon a shot anywhere near the division. He had to be carried to a hospital and discharged. At Gettysburg a color- bearer staggered and tell back. "Sternly," colled the Colonel, "I am wounded," ho replied inn choking voice. "WhereI" "Iii tho throat." Tho commander leaned over his horse and looked. "It is nothing. I see no blood." He immediately rotook his place, raising up his flog. The ball had really struck him In tho neck but bounded off his leather collar, and the shook had choked him for n moment.

Uut let il appear thai the It Was a Pretty Foot. ' The funniest incident of my trip was In a sleeping-car, writes "Gath" in the Cincinnati Enquirer. It was in tho morning, when most of the passengers had got out of their berths,and only several sots of curtains wore drawn tightly in front of stilt slumberous persons. Suddenly a foot was thrust out between two curtains. It was small, white and symmetrical—ho more than a feminine No. 3-and the merest bit of ankle in sight looked soft and fine. The men glanced ut it from the comers of their wicked eyes. The women deprecated tho exposure. Then a bold, brazen fellow went right straight to tho pretty foot, grabbed tho ankle uud flung tho wholo member rudely into the berth. "Ho wouldn't treat his bride so," said a woman close by, "It must bo hlssiBtcr." Then tha head of a ten-year-old urchin emerged whore tbe foot bad boon, and a sleepy, angry, boyish voice said: "Look here, Sam, you let mo alone. Next timo you ketch a hold of my foot that, way I'll kick the glznrd out of you."

The manhood and principles of tho Anglo Saxon race are supposed to be superior tu those of the poor celestials, but a few of our delinquent subscribers might borrow at least ono custom from tho Flowery Kingdom and still lose none of their self-respect, About two Month, ago a number of settlers at Langley subscribed about 93,000 to be expended in building a dam across Cromarty slough in order to reclaim a quantity of land in that vioi nity. A force of men was employed in tno work and the amount sub- scribed, expended, but unfortunately through bad mansgement, the wholo thing, so far, has proved a failure. We understand, however, that some of the property holders aro still determined to make the scheme a success and that a contract will be let for tho work in the course of s few dayB.

William Henry Jones, who was hanged in British Columbia on the 8th inst., fur the murder of Edward Durant, ought to have been prudent enough to have quarreled with his victim and killed him in the United States. In tho United States this would havo boen manslaughter, and in many states of tho south, this murderer would havo been acquitted. William Henry Jones ought to have crossed the line to "get in his work;" and yet un general principles of public security wo are glad that British Columbia hung William Henry Jones.— Oregonian.

But the proposal became current and reached the ears uf the person whose image was to be cremated and becoming alarmed he called upon the polico fur protection. iNo elligy, however, was burned, and the services uf tho police were not required. The best of urder and good will prevailed after the result was known.—-Times. lnngley Elections.

Children Cry for Pitcher' _ Castoria VICTORY! (Towns Ihe i'lvle battle ot Tu-fiay and Once More WeslMlnsler fries "Frogm**." From Early Morn Till Huiulonn Ibe Fight Is Wiif-cil Willi Illicit Earnestness. Tlie Straight Ticket Is Elected i»y a Large Nnjorlly.-Tlie Uoy.il Cily Pulls Together. Never in the history of Westminster was an election contest so enthusiastically fought as to-day. To say that all were intorested in the fight, "prog* ross vs. non-prugreBS," conveys no proper meaning uf tho situation fur overyono was enthusiastic and earnest to the last degree. Although tho "popular party" was certain uf electing tho majority of its ticket yet no efforts wero abandoned to make tho victory as complete as possible. All the candidates and tho various committees wore at work bright and early, and when the pull opened at 9 o'clock a largo number of voters wero on hand to name their favorites. Frum the first the voting proceeded briskly and by 1 o'clock 50 per cent, of the names on the voters' list had been polled. On the streets everything was bustle and excitement, A largo number uf cabs and carriages wero pressed into service tu bring in tho outside voters, aud theso rattling along the streets at a high rate of spertl added to the general bustle uf the occasion. Soveral spicy discussions took placo on the streets betwoen friends uf contending parties which nffurdod great amusement to the crowds which rapidly formed to hear the fun. Whenever a candidate would pass a knot of people a rousing cheer wuuld go up, nnd this was especially noticeable with Mr. Lord who received n sarcastic ovation where- ever ho wont. But evorthing passed off in a friendly way and the cindidates seemed to enjoy tho fun as well aB anyone else. Though the light was keen throughout, the best of feeling prevailed and there waa a most noticeable absence of anything approaching bitterness between the contestants. Early in the forenoon a ticket containing the names of "Independent Candidates" was circulated, leaving out Mr. H. V, Edmonds' name. Shortly afterwards tho "Independents" gathored up the tickets and destroyed tbem and later issued another containing tho full list. Fully a dozen Vnncouverites nrrived by the 11.20 train aud worked and voted in favor of tho "popular ticket" as did also a number of gentlemen from down river points. Among tho lattor was W. H. Ladner M. P. P. Mr. S. 11. Webb was seen rolling a baby carriage up and down ir. front uf tho polling booth whilo a lady wsb casting her vote. It is safe to say Mr. Webb received a "plumper" for his gallantry. Tho wuuld bo alderman received tho applause of tho crowd with becoming modesty.

The "Good News" as Expounded In Our Churches Yesterday. The services at the Baptist church yesterday were conducted by Mr. Rasuro, the cowboy evangelist, and Mr. Chamberlain, Canadian evangelist. At both services the instruction was given by Mr. Rasure. In the evening he read the 55th chap, of Isaiah, inter* cepting the verses with extended comments in whioh he related feelingly many personal experiences and tried tu impress upun his ■■ hearers the benevolence and protection of God in the free salvation and reminded the young men that God would take care of their bodily interests and health if they consecrated themselves to him, and snapping his fingers several times said he would not give that for a God that would nut protect and save the body ns well as the soul, which the Rov. Mr. Baldwin afterwards emphasized very strongly, graphically do- scribing the cowboy life—and reminding those present that the meetings would be continued by the evangelists from Tuesday to Friday evening in the basement of the church. Mr. Rasure though not a great orator has a terse, mutter of fact and interesting manner of speaking, and attracts and holds tho attention of his audience throughout. Mr. Chamberlain conducted tho testimony meeting and after asking all Christians to stand, asked thoae who wishod to bo Christians to stand to which three persons responded. Somo of tho brightest nnd best of the songs from Moody's collection, No, 5, wero sung, the service being concluded by Mr. Baldwin, tho pastor, pronouncing the benediction. At St. Andrew's Prcsbytorian ohuroh Inst night, Rev. Mr. Scouler preached from 1st Theasalonians, 5 c. 10 v., "Rejoice evermore,' and aaid: Two Sabbath evenings ago we had for our consideration the datkest side of the picture of human life, as exemplified in tho trials and the sufferings of Job. As there nre always two Bides to every question, we propose to look at the brighter side to-night, ss suggested by tho words of our text. I need hardly Bay that theso wurds apply to thoso who are tho people of God. Christians only are in a position (o rejoice overmore; for how can the wicked under any circumstances rejoice; they are living at enmity against God; there is no peace in their minds. The ungodly charge tho religion of Jesus Christ with being gloomy and melancholy. Many for this reason have thrown off all restraint; thoy say that thoy want to enjoy life. There is such a thing, it is true, as the plea* sures of sin,but it resembles the crackling of thorns under a pot; there is nothing left hut the sting of an accusing conscience and the memory of time that has been worso than wasted*) Tho Christian should seek to rejoice evermore, first, on account cf what God has done for the salvation of his people. 'The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad,' says the Psalmist, We should rejoice whon we think of God's kindness to us in giving Hia Son—God's unsneakablo gift. We cannot think of tho death of Christ aright without ,t-_-»*J___-----_-_---M-»-—»Sfci*««.«*^ being filled with joy and glad ness. There is no reason why the blackest sinner should uot return : and, obtain tho forgiveness uf sin aud the favor of God. But God has dune inure than give His Son. We may have thought that no moro would have been done for man's salvation, but moro than this was necessary, and the Spirit was given to show man his need of, and lead him to a Saviour. When the Spirit came mighty results followed, men and women were led to embrace Christ; tho Spirit should bo more honored. Think, then, Christian friends, uf what God has dono for you by the Spirit; it is by His aid that you havo been enabled to lift up your head and rejoice in God as tho God of your salvation." Tbo speaker continued that Christians should rejoice on account of what God ia doing for His people and on account of what Ho will do, all of which was described at length and in eloquent terms, and tho discourse was closed in picturing tho perfect rejoicing hereafter, when the trials and tribulations of this life should bo over. At tho Reformed Episcopal church, yesterday morning, Rev. Thomas Haddon spoke f rem Deuteronomy 33 c, 27 v: "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms, and ho shall thrust out tho enemy from before thee, and shall say, destroy them;" and said:—ono of our hymns says: Ood Is n refuge of his saints When storm of sharp distress Invade; Hero wo can offer our complaint*): Behold his presence with his aid. So said one of the greatest poeta of tho age, and David tho inspired writer said: ' 'God is our refuge and strength; .t very present help in trouble." Few peoplo that did not need shelter. It was pleasant when it rained to have the shelter of a dwelling—at sea amidst the rolling waves to havo tho assurance that wo woro on a goud ship —and in a wind storm or cyclone a Bhelter underground was desirable— and a palm tree and a spring of water in tho desert was desirable. Perhaps* a traveller journeying for djtys in crossing the desert under tho scorching sun, with no Bpring, no rock, oi*"shade, and nearly exhausted, yonder iu the distance sceB a high rock and on the shady side uf tho rock finds a spring of water; he pitches his tent, and finds rest and repose thore. Jesus iB a rock of refuge to tho weary traveller in a strange land; in him the weary traveller finds protection from temptation and trrals, where the distressed soul seeking for refuge can find protection from trouble. He says "I am the bread of life;" "If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink," "Come unto me all you that are weary and aro heavy laden and I will give you rest;" and wcget moral and spirit* ual Bhelter in tho rock of ages; he is our shelter in the storm. We are told to look up—look up brother; do not look down, all the face of nature is lifted to tho light. Hearts aro drawn upward. David Bays: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the htlU from whence cometh help." From abovo the still email voico spoke to tbo soul, spoke with thrilling power tu the heart ef the sinner, and supported the pilgrim. God is our father; and ns an earthly father cares for and protects his children, so the Lord protects his children of adoption. Jew and Gentile, rich and poor—all are united in Christ. God is a protector and provider. In the last eruption of Vesuvius, in the earthquakes at Charleston, in tho storms in the east whero hundreds had lost their lives, and in the cyclones, fires and floods, dangers showed thick on every side. A newspaper in reporting this pointed to tho insecurity, and by the way ho saw the newspapers were ?letting religious. We should be thank- ul we have a rock beneath the Christian faith on whioh it could rest secure, I sometimes wonder why people and professing christians becomo ao alarmed at contagoous diseases, as in the case at Vancouver the other day. Why, if the civic authorities would only take half that trouble to save the people from moral diseases they would do a good and great work. God protects body and spirit; He is a sure refuge and we should learn to trust God for health of body as well as spirit. The text eays, "Underneath are the ever* lasting arma," and were mentioned as symbols of power and strength. David said, "His right hand and his arm hath gotten us the victory." In God we havo an arm on whioh to rest, to lean on in life's distresses and troubles, a father to the fatherless, a husband to the widow, and whon father and mother forsake us, ho say**, "I will bear thee up," and he dues this in various ways. The word cornea and bears us up to tho haven of peace and rest, and as the text says, will "thrust out the enemy." If God bo with us who shall be against us; our enemy shall be thrust nut, who are our enemies 1 Our sin and all that tends to stop our spiritual progress, aud death, the last of enemies wc can overcome ; hence tlio apostle snys, "O, Death, where is thy sting I O, Grave, where is thy victory 1 The reverend gentleman closed by appealing to all to come into the fold and take refuge. • Mr. W.
