Foropangh, tho thowman, wbo lias been travelling all over the United States during tlie summer, lias bet $18,000 on Cleveland's election and wants to put up a little moro. A Forepaugli ought to make a good pointer. Shooting people is one of the things which "they do better in France." The new rifle adopted there will, even at a mile range, lend a bullet through a human body, so that the doctors will not be at the trouble of extracting tho balls in future. Electric launches and pleasure boats are coming into use on the Thames, and promise to be quite numerous next year. The people who used to worry themselves about the supply of coal for steam engines giving out in a century or two, may live to see the steam engine practically superseded. Following Senator Sherman's an- nextion resolution, republican papers are trying to convince their readers that there is a widespread annexation sentiment in Canada. Probably they have not noticed Grip's little question. How would the republicans relish an addition of 5,000,000 people, mostly democrats I The use of the electric furnace, between the carbon poles of which the hardest metals became instantly as butter, is accompanied by a serious drawback. The dark glasses which the workmen wear fail to protect them from the effects of tlie intense glare, and serious symptoms, resembling those of sunstroke, frequently supervene. A new (to us at least) fact about the Chinese is printed in an English journal. Thoy have a superstitious regard for their bodies, which makes them dread the loss even of a tooth, so that when one is extracted they sometimes grind it up and swallow it. It is oven asserted that people who have lost limbs by amputation, have oaten them. This is probably the reason the Chinese murderers mangle their victims. We have seen the practice ascribed to simple lust of cruelty, but probably it is a refinement of vengeance. Thero was brought up against Cleveland, at the last presidential election, a sin committed in his hot youth, when Lincoln was president. Cleveland did not deny his guilt, and the story faded into the background. Now a gentleman who disgraces the title "Rev." by wearing it before his name, proposes to sue for libel a New York paper which handled him rather roughly about the matter four years ago, in order that ho may have a chance to call Cleveland as a witness, and so revive the scandal for parly purposes! It is said that Tennyson is probably the only living author whose works aro used for examination purposes in India. It was stated tho other day that the entire body of candidates at Madras was hopelessly puzzled by tho line from "The Princess"; "Was proxy wedded to a bootless calf." And yet we would venture to assert that not even in India was a calf with boots ever soon! Thus the mind of tho would- be philosopher, befogged among the pretensions of a so-called learning, loses the capacity to digest the simple chunks of cold and solid fact. This is the style in which tho Globe's "Observer" rehashes a story which has been relegated to the limbo of dead sensations on this coast: It will be remembered tlmt last summer it was reported that tho Hon. W. Hsmlily, customs collector at Victoria, was to bn superannuated, that he was In lie succeeded by Senator McDonald, and that Mr. Baker was to tako Senator McDonald's placo in the senate. So thoroughly was the ground prepared for theso exchanges that Mr. Amos De-Cosmos issued an address to the electors and announced himself a candidate for tlio vacancy to bo created by Mr. Baker's dosceut to the senate. But millionaire Duiismuir nnd editor Higgins, of the Colonist, interfered in behalf of Mr. Humbly, and the Bakor faction hnd to pause or take the responsibility for tho creation of a serious party division. Why Mr, Baker, who is not at nil a bad fellow, should want to go into tho senatorial morgue, is it profound and melancholy mystery. Do not delay hi gotting relief for the littlo folks.

A number of tho leading cannery owners are arranging to emigrate 120 families, or about GOO soul, in all, to take tho places of Indians and Chinese in tho canneries at fixed wages. The movement is regarded as important in viow ol the drawbacks of tho Chineie element to the province. A CHECK KOBOEHY. Montreal, Oct. 10.—A most audacious robbery was committed this afternoon in broad daylight. A boy, wearing a cap, at 2 o'clock entered the Quebec bank carryings soap box wrapped in paper under his arm and, putting it againat the counter, mounted it, reached ovor the brass railing and matched a package of Bank of Montreal bills, amounting to $1,000, while the teller's back was turned. He ran out but was immediately pursued, but as the teller had to go a round-about way the audacious young robber disappeared. When the teller reached the street the boy had vanished. There ii no clue to the robber'i identity. A FBEE FOB! CLOSED. Hambubo, Oct. 16.—The emperor William will open tho new bonded warehouses here on the 29th init. 2,000 customs officials were employed hero yesterday collecting from the oitizens declarations of the possession by them of dutiable articles, tho duties on which will now go to thu imperial treasury, Hamburg receiving a military subiidy of 5,000,000 marks annually.

CWWr-fi Cryfor Pitcher'.Castoria gmlB §ritiflh Columbian Wednoil-J Evening. Oct. 11. ■«*". We have several times called attention to the necessity that exists for increased mail facilities between this city—the distributing point— and tho various thriving farming communities on the south side of tho river. These districts, according to theiripoetoffioes, nro six in number, Mud Bay, Elgin, Clover Valley, Hall's Prairie, Burrey Centre, and Langley Prairie, and are served at present by a weekly mail only, which is oarried to the two former places by stage and to the four latter by horseback earlier. An increase of the sorvice to twice u woek would not, therefore, entail any very serious oxponse, and would provo a great convenience to the farmers in tho settlements referred to, who find tho weekly service altogether inadequate. As but a few hours elapse botweon the receipt of tho mails from the south side of the river at this city and their despatch again, it will be seen that over a week is required to get on answer from a letter either way between this city and districts within a radius of twenty miles. In fact, so far as mail communication is concerned, Westminster is nearly as far separated from these tributary farming settlements as if the continent intervened, instead of the Fraser and a few miles of country. A bi-weekly service should be established, ns suggested, and we hope the postal authorities will see their way clear to do so. The ingenuity of the medical fraternity is taxed for expedients wherewith to produce both temporary and permanent remedial effects upon that large and unfortunate class known as the insane. The experiments with colored lights in the treatment of tho insane made recently at Alessandria, Italy, are being much discussed by tho medical fraternity, though getting little credence, says on exchange, the cures if cures were really made, being attributed to unusual treatment and painstaking attention on the part of the medical staff, because of the color trials, rather than to anything in the theory itself. In the evidence transmitted by Dr. Ponza, ho says rooms were selected with as many windows as possible, the walls of the room being painted the same color as the window panes. A patient suffering from melancholia, who would not eat, was placed in a room with bright red walls and windows. In three hours he became quite cheerful, und asked for food. Another lunatic, who always kept his hands over bis mouth to keep out air and nourishment, was placed in the samo room, and the next day was much better and ate with a hearty appetite. A violent raan'ao was placed in a blue room, and became quiet in an hour. Another patient, after spending a whole day in a violet colored room, was completely cured. American and English medical authorities seem to regard these ourei as effects rather than causes of the treatment, induced, they argue, not because the light was colored, but because it was a novel sensation, making the patients to forget their inclinations, as pebblei put into tho ear of a balky horse will- oause him to forget his pranks; a sudden bath or shock might have the same transitory ro suit. * There is no royal road to sucoess in agriculture any more than in other avocations nnd industries. An in telligent and persevering adaptation ol means to the end will win the day here as elsewhere. A convincing proof of the benefit to be do rived from heavy manuring and thorough cultivation of the soil is afforded in the remarkable crop of potatoes raised by a Mr. Carman, editor of the Rural New Yorker, on his experimental farm in New Jersey. He had previously made n bet of $100 to $50 that he would raise potatoes at the rate of 700 bushels per acre, Mr. Oarnmn, it is staled, lost his bet, as the average crop per acre was only 583 bushels, but this il an enormous yield. His method of culture il thus described: Trcnche3 are opened 15 inches wide and C inchet deep and 3 feet apart, measuring from middle to middle. Potato fertilizer, at the rate of 880 poundi to the acre, was then strewn in the bottom of the trenches, about two inches deep of loose soil drawn in ovor this, and all mixed together, by drawing a Hexamer hoo along in the trench. The potato sets were then planted a foot apart. Two inches deep of soil was drawn in over the seti, and potato fertilizer, at the rate of 880 pounds to the acre, strewn over this and mixed as before. .Also powdered sulphur, at 440 poundi to the acre, was strewn in the trenches, and they wero then filled. The sets were mostly medium- lized potatoes out in halves, each half having .two or three good eyes. Summer care consisted in keeping the ground olean. The drills were not hilled up,, but kept level. Shallow cultivation wai practised. Paris green and plaster were used against the potato beetle. On one lot Mr. Carman raised 1,070 bushels, but the average yield was reduced by nme seedi which proved of inferior productiveness. As will have been seen by the council report published yesterday, the Hyack Fire Co. have tendered their resignation in a body, and stops have been taken to form a now fire company. The reasons assigned by tho Hyooks for resigning in, generally, that their communications havo been treated with scant courtesy by the council, and, particularly, that their request to havo three (four in all) additional sleeping rooms fitted up iu tho Hyack Hall, for tho better efficiency of tho corp3 in case of fire, has been ignored and treated with silent contempt. The council, on the other hand, assert that they havo mado considerable outlay this year for new hose, for alterations and improvements at the fire hall, etc., and that they cannot afford to bo at any more expense during the present civic year in tire protection matters. The fire company claim that tho better facilities they ask arc in the interests of the increased efficiency of tho corps (which cannot be very woll gainsaid); but they state that a courteous refusal from the council, giving the reasons for not granting their request, would have been accepted as satisfactory for the time being. The council! again, are disposed to look upon the fire company as unreasonable and exacting in their demands, and, boing composed in a large proportion of the younger men of the city, as being somewhat beneath their notice. We cannot help thinking, from an impartial view of all tho circumstances, that the council have, at least, been deficient in ordinary courtesy in their dealings with tho fire company, which, of course, has been resented. Bo that as it may, tho fact remains that a mutual antagonism (acknowledged by both parties) and considerable consequent friction has existed for several years between tho city council and tho Hyack firo company—no clean sweep having been made in tbe personnel of cither during tlio period roforred to. Such being tho case, it will, no doubt, bo better for all con- coruod that a dissolution should take place and a new company bo formed. There are no particular inducements to belong to a volunteer firo company, but, on tho contrary, considerable hard work, and, from a financial standpoint, loss instead of gain, and such necessary and beneficent associations should have every possible encouragement, and, at least, ordinary courtesy—even if the members should be principally young men or "boys," who, in tho nature of tho case, must be depended on to make really efficient firemen. We trust that a new and thoroughly efficient firo company may be formed, whoso relations with the council may ever bo as smooth as "great lightning," and we also trust that the council may soo their way clear to give evory possible and reason- able encouragement in the future to this very necessary and valuable volunteer association, and that they may be able at all times to main- tain the due dignity of their lofty positions by an impartial exercise of common courtesy all round.

Finally, after nothing but consideration for self, the wedding-day comrs, and with It a gradual change lu tho order cf . things. Tho husband Is as fond of bis wifo as the lover was of his betrothed, but elm Is ' hid, and he is no longer anxious. He has duties nnd social obligations, perhapi rather neglected during his courtship, which must bo attended to. He does not show hll affection ao much and is moro exacting! while thewife.liith- erto petted ln ber own home, nud ber lover's one thought, Imagines him changed snd inattentive. No longer seeing him through rose-colored spectacles, she perceives hii falling! and betrays her own.

It Is often inherited, but may be tlio result of improper vaccination, mercurial poison, uuclcanliness, and various other uuuses. Chronic Sores, Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerous Humors, aud, in some cases, Emaciation and Con* Huniption, result from iiHcrofuIous condition of tho blood. This disease can be cured by tho use of Ayor's Sarsaparilla. I inherited a scrofulous condition of the blood, which caused «, derangement of my whole system. After taking less than four bottles of Ayor's Sarsaparilla I am Entirely Cured and, for tho post year, have not found it nccossary to use any modicino whatever.

An insane man. named Fogue, was brought from Mount Lenman yesterday. A board consisting of Br. De Wolf Smith and Dr. Fagan was appointed to examine the unfortunate, who was found to be Insane. He was committed to the provincial asylum for care nnd treatment. In the prize list of the Delta agri- cuotural exhibition, published in this paper about two weeks ago, there was a. slight transposition under the head of ,(horses." Barber Bros,, uf Ladners, took first prize for the best draught team, and the Jubilee Ranch, aecond, instead of the reverse, aa published. It is suggested that when a private car is brought to Westminster to stay a few days it should bo sidcl.rncl.od somewhere down in the swamp, and not opposite the station. It is trusted the station agent will take this hint and thus prevent the necessity of ro- faring more openly to the nuisance on a future occaaion. The canning season may be said to be over for this year. The boats have nearlv all been withdrawn from the mouth of the river and the fishermen paid off and discharged. The canneries above Westminster will continue to fish for a week or two longer, in the hope that the withdrawal of the boats at the mouth of the river will allow of a paying catch. A report has been in circulation for a few days to tbe effect that Dr. D. McLean, physician in charge of the small-pox patients, was down with the disease. Up till 6 o'clock this evening Dr. Bentley, provincial health offloer, had received no intelligence on the subject, and he considers it nothing more than a wild rumor aa his orders to Mr. James Ellard were that he should report auch an event forthwith. There was quite a squally time in Howe Bound last Thursday night and Friday. We learn from a gentleman just in from there that several boats were upset, but afterwards picked up by passing steamers. The Skidegnte ll reported to have picked up ono mid the Belle the othor. " Dan, tlio bunt- man,'' had hia boat swamped. It con* contained a cargo of supplies for Arthur Davies, of Gambicr Island, valued at |200. He was picked up by Irving and Penny, attendants upon the Point AtktolODlljghthouiw.-K«n«tti'er World, Methodist Tea Meeting. A grand tea meeting has been ar. ranged for Friday evening by tho ladies of the Methodist church, commencing at 6:30 p. m. and lasting until 8 p. m. The feast will be hold in the bisement of the church, whioh, since its enlargement, is well adapted for the purpose. After the supper is over a select programme of songs, specialties, etc., will be rendered in the body of the ohurch. The programme promises to be of unusual interest, aa a number of Vancouver's best vocalists have promised their assistance. The attendance will likely be large. ,...-. -.-**.-, A Valuable Visitor. Prof. R. Dawson, special commissioner for the Toronto Empire, who arrived in the city yesterday, left this afternoon for Toronto. During his visit here Mr. D. Chisholm, M. P., and other prominent citizens took hiin in hand and did all in their power to show the professor the industries of our city and to explain the capabilities of tho district at large. As Professor Dawson's impressions will shortly appear in the columns of the Empire thoy cannot but prove beneficiul to both Westminster oity and district as tho information he has gleaned is both extensive and valuable. ••_-*> No Inquest Necessary. After consideration, and realizing the impossibility of proving foul play owing to the decomposition of the remains, Mr. Coroner Ferris decided that no inquest was necesssiy un tho body of the Chinaman found in tho swamp yesterday. It is almost certain that the Chinaman was carried to the swamp by friends and left there to dio or recover as the case might be, without further expanse or anhoyacco to hia countrymen who are notorious for their inhumanity in this respect. Constable Poarce gathered up tho remains and buried them in a box on the spot where thoy were discovered. Knifed n Count rynia-i Last night two Chinamen, named Ah Sam and Ah May, got into an altercation regarding a small sum of money, the balance of a gambling debt duo Ah Sam. While tho dispute was at its highest Ah Sam drew a knife und gave Ah Moy an ugly slash on tho face which will somewhat detract from his personal appearance when tlio wound heals. Constable Carty was called and arrested Ah Sam who was shortly afterwards bailed out by friends. At the police court this morning Ah Moy did not appear to prosecute and tlie case was adjourned till to-morrow, when, if he does not appear a warrant will be issued for his arrest as the case is too serious to be allowed to go by default. . Auolhcr Fine Thoroughbred. Mr. Thos. Cunningham who is well known as the owner of many fine Jersey cattle has made another purchase which will prove a valuable addition to his already large herd, This latest is the Jersey heifer Dutchess of Westminster, lately the property of Mr. F, Revely, of Victoria, who took first prize with her over many competitors, at the provincial exhibition lately held at the island capital. The Dutchess uf Westminster is a pure bred Jersey and is registered with the American Jersey cattle club. Her sire was Fl Rio, Nu. 13,698, nnd dam Ella's Jersey Lilly, No. 46,969—both exceptionally fine animals. Mr. Cunningham intends to continue adding to his herd of thoroughbreds until it ranks equal tu any on the coast, aud as he purchases none but the finest animals, he is certain to attain his object at no distant date. It is to be hoped other cattle owners will adopt this principle of importing nothing but pedigree animals. mm*. Opeulng a New Mine. We understand it is the intention of Messrs. R. Dunsmuir & Sons, of the Wellington Collieries, to at once open the coal scam on the Sabiston & Horne property in the Millstream Valley, contiguous to tho East Wellington property. It will be remembered that several yeai'B ago Messrs. A. G. Horne and P. Sabiston sold uut their coal rights tu Messrs. Dunsmuir & Sons, A prospect shaft was sunk, and a level run for a couple of hundred yards, out of which several hundred tons of a superior quality of coal were obtained. It is tlio intention of Messrs. D. it S. to pump tho water out uf tho present shaft, and then run the level uut to daylight. Carpenters will at once commence the erection uf houses for the workmen, and in a. few days they expect tn have the water out of the shaft and drift. This property is over three hundred acros in extent, and is situated between the property nf the Vancouver Coal Company, and the East Wellington Cual Co. It is also intimated that Messrs, Dunsmuir & Suns may re-open the Alexandria mine, in Cranberry district, on the line of tho E, & N, railway. -- Nanaimo Free Press. Pei-Nonal.

There is some liklihood that the Juvenile Opera Co., managed by Eck- ert it Hudson and which played in this city last week, will be disbanded owing to a row that eccurred at Victoria. It appears the gentlemanly and humane managers pay very small salaries to even the leading actors and then further reduce the pittance by a system of fines for misdemeanors, real or fancied. The members of the company put up with this sort of thing until Sunday night when they were being paid their week's salary at Victoria. One of the leading ladies, whoso salary is only -$6 per week, was fined to tho amount uf $3 and she refused to accept hor pay. The other members ef the company gathered round and supported hor and one of tho buys in particular was very prompt in giving his opinion uf the management uf tho company. Dr. Hamill, tho treasurer, undertook to rebuko the lad and high words passed between them which load to blows, nnd, painful to relate, tho doughty doctor wonld have received an excellent licking but fur outside interference. Tho company left for the Suund that night, but somo uf tho actors Baid before leaving that they would aever all connection with the concern. , * ,____. A, A large Seizure. Six canoes of woat coast Indians, which were returning from the hop fields of Puget Sound, were intercepted at the mouth uf the harbor this morning and brought into the htiding below the custom house, A reporter visited that vicinity this afternoon and found the customs officials busily engaged in examining the contents of the canoes. About sixty siwnshes and klootchmen were on board and each seemed to have invested their spare cash pretty thoroughly in iktas in Uncle Sam's markets. There wero barrels of sugar, abundance of flour, cooking stoves, calicos to no end, blankets, boots and shoes, suits of men's clothing, shawls and skirts of dazzling colors, apples, tea and coffee, nnd what seomed to be the best investment of all—plenty of soap, In fact they had a complete outfit for housekeeping and full supplies for winter. The klootchmen wero very much exercised over losing their calicos. "Na na," but didn't they uso the cluquence uf their sex on the sub-collector. As tho work uf examining their trunks progressed they did not appear to be much contented uver the matter, but will probably feel worse when thoy como to pay some $70 in the way of duties. The custom officers deserve credit for making the capture.—-Victoria Times. Laic Canadian News.
