It is surprising what creatures there are in the world after all. Up to a fow day's ago there was in town a barber named J. W. Brichnell, and for the , sake of venting some unworthy feeling on the place, or some one in it, .wrote to his wife, and it got into a San Francisco paper,.'saying that ,the cholera was raging in this town and the people wcre.floeing for their lives. Now, any one with an ordinary , spirit of humanity, would scarcely sny this of any place, even'fpii 'hearsay; but when the falsehoods made out of whole cloth with the- full knowledge that it is a falsehood unadulterated, a good healthy dose of the severest penalty of the law is too good for him. Now Prichnell knew when he Wiis penning these lines there never was a case of'cholera in town and never a severe case of any contageous fever for that \-'' matter, and why he should when leav- \ ing the place himself pen such a libel ' it is most difficult to understand. Even the editor of the Examiner in whose columns this slander appeared, \' 'if he knew the size of the place and its surroundings, would have known the , latter was a slander to ease a slanderous mind. Cholera never originates in a small town, with the climate of Sandon, and never is limited to less than a section of country when it does break out. All we have to say to Brichnell \ is that if this is the principle he in- ;{, tends to be governed by through life, he will ere long come to some unexpected stop, and not a day too soon either for the country's welfare. The folllowing is the libel that appeared in the Examiner, scare headlines and all. Residents and people who have been here, one and all, know the utter falsity of every line in thi3 excerpt, but this docs not in any way jS lessen the injury it may do the place outside. Sandon is pronounced by the health officers as the healthiest place in the Kootenay, and tho fact that there has been but one death hero the past'six months, and that of a littio child, is full proof of this. Let Brcch- nell come this way again if wants to sec his face in bold relief : CHOLERA MAKES WAY TO SAN- DON'S HOMES. scarcity of minors. No estimate of the number of d< aths has been received. For the benefit of the Examiner we will add, by way of comment on "the small nnd sluggish stream" referred tw above, that mountain streams,-rarely, if ever, run sluggish/sind that the one in question has a fall in the town of nearly 6 per cent., varying in /grade down the. valley. From here to the mouth, at New Denver, is ten miles and that place is said to he 2,000 feet below San.Ion, giving an average fall of nearly 4 per cent. i noon io mi. General Railway Notes.

Thon the pack train goes on to Ilazlcton, on the Suoona river, takes a back loud for Stuart's Jake, does some months' packing for the company across various portages, and returns to the 150 Mile House via Qucsnelle to tho home of its owners* Tho time usually consumed in making tho trip form Ilazlcton to Quesnelle, we aro informed by Mr. John Gillas, who was'with the train two .years, is iibf'tit 25 days, nnd tho trail is a good one with plenty o! feed. From Ashcroft to Quesnelle, a good wagon ' and stage road of 220 mile's, a pack train lightly loaded���������for yon can renew supplies at any point on this rond, Clinton, 150-Milo House.

From Quesnelle to Hazletnn in twenty days, from I-Tazle- ton to Telegraph 'Creek (about 120 miles by ono tr.-iil and 220 another) in ton days, and seven days more to Tes- lin lake; in all -io days. You can leave Ashcroft usually from the loth to the 20th of April on yrass, but if making a hurried trip would need to feed some at night. From Quesnelle on, the entire trail is thiough a good grass country. Large, bands of cattle have, been driven over the distance in Cassiar days, except from Telegraph Creek to Teslin lake, and arrived in good condition for beef. Mr. Grifliti now in the employ of F. W. Foster, of Ashcroft, made tho trip down Teslin lake last year to Stewart river in a small boat with three companions. Mr. Griffith stntos that there is no rough water and no portages from the head of Teslin Jake to Stewart river, lie estimates the distance at about 300 miles from the lower end of the lake to Klondyke. A party of four men left Ashcroft in May last year for Cassiar, but concluded after leaving to keep on to Klondyke. A friend of tho party left behind, and now at Lake La Hacho, is in receipt of a letter from them in which they strongly urge him to come in the spring the same route, and stating that they made the trip from Ashcroft to Klondyke in two ing quite large and very swift, and only from the south or left hand side. There is no part of the lake that is not navigable for light craft steamers, and the greater part of it extremely oeep : in some places we were unable to find bottom with 100 feet of lino. This is ;he case the'entire length, with the exception of two or three places where [joints run out into the lake for some distance. Tho shores arc.for the most part rocky and precipitous, but beautiful camping places can be found along the north shore. As you approach tho lower end of the lake the, banks are of clay, quite high, and c mmg down into deep water. The lake gradually grows narrow, and b'efore you are aware of its proximity you are entering Hoolalin- qua river, which is the outlet of this large body of* water. We' expected to find a rapid river, but instead ol' I hat there was no current tc speak of for some miles, but as wc proceeded down the. river (which is JS0 miles long) the speed of the current increased until it was running at about the rate of five an hour, Tho Ilootalinqua is perfectly safe for anv row boat, and navigable for light draft steamers through its entire length. The same can be said of the rest of the route to Forty Mile, with one exception, this being the Five Finger Rapids, any boat can run with ordinary caution without unloading! While on the lake we met Mr. J. Gal- breath, of Telegraph creek, who had come through with his pack train of 13 horses which he had left at tho head of the lake where there was an abundance of feed, Mr. Callbroath told us that he experienced no difficult in getting through, which n.ust have been a fact as he and his men cut the trail and travelled the entire distance of 140 miles in fourteen days, and expected to make the return trip in nine clays, which he did, I afterwards learned. If I were going in again I would certainly l;o in by this route, that is, via Telegraph creek and Teslin lake, on which there are no divides to cross aud on the waters of which there are no cayons or White Horse rapids to encounter, Yours truly.

Their head office is in Winnipeg, with m office in Winnipeg, with an office also at Trout Lake City. The Silver Chief contains six different ledges, three of which have been crosscut. Two of them have ten to twenty from the surface, and aiv- other at almost 100 feet. Excellent sample of clean looking galena have been obtained in each case, arid.several tons of ore are on the dump ready for shipment, requiring no concentration. A rich vein of black silver has been discovered in the tunnel, which has already been run in over 125 feet. Assays from shipping assortments have been obtained in the order of 205, 570 2f:6 and 402 ounces per ton. This latter vein is a sulphide ore. and can be concentrated to run 1000 ounces of silver per ton. In addition to the main tunnel, drifting has been done to the extent of 50 feet or more, following this new find. months.

Cariboo, Cassiar. and ' Ominoca will yet yield sums.of gold that will compare favorably with even the famous. .Klondyke. . . Mr. W. H.

As.I was ov.n of the throng of gold-seekers last year I. can .tcll'something of the Teslin-lake route,, which I and my partners travelled. .Teslin lake is about 240 milesin length,. and averages about tv.rre miles in width.. A large but' sluggish ��������� river empties into it at its' epper end and here tho Indians have the canoes cache, whore they leave the boats during their absence while'going to and from Juneau, wl ere they go annually to dispose of their furs.'. Here, at the head of the lake we built our boat and started on our prespeoling. There are three streams cmptiig into the lake, from the north or right-hand side. Two of these, the Oklohcne and Nitlicene he rn the rush to the Klondyke there is criminal recklessness on the part of shipowners"in the way of overcrowding and scant accommodation on the part of the authorities in lotting men recklessly go to their doom without adequate warning ; and on the partof geld seekers themselves in crowding into the country insufficiently provided with the necessaries of existence. In another six months the world wiU bo in sorrow reading of disaster by sea and starvation by land in the cold regions of the North, and friends and relatives of absent ones will bo regretting with anguished hearts that they allowed those near and dear to depart on a hopeless voyage. Steamers have returned from Dyea. Their captains state that misery among the overcrowded fanatics has already commenced. Delicately reared and weakly store clerks arc there with a few dollars in their pockets, no clothing but what they have on the backs, and weak already from arduous travel: while elderly men, past the prime of life, with little ca>vtal, are roaming around Dyea with no definite object in view and unable to know what to put their hand to Many steamers crowded beyond their capacity five times over have had to put into British Columbia ports atter thirty-six hours' sail srom Seattle for provisions and water. At this rate of sailing they would not get into Dyea for six weeks, and during that time the suffering of those on board would be terrible. 'ITw.o unseaworth'y tugs were loaded' with 150 souls, and in their top heavy condition would topple over at the. first heavy wave.' The rush to .Klondyke cannot be too strongly deprecated in the interests of humanity.. One digging has been discovered.

Back London, Sept. 7.���������There advance in the price. of silver is supposed to be due to the holding back of supplies by Americans and to the idea that silver currency 'will be wanted in India, The purchases will be -for immediate shipment by people having contracts to fulfil in India and .China. The Times and Standard concur in the opinion that tlie impression that India will buy silver is a mistaken one. The currency department of India holds 13,000,000 of rupees which would be realeasod against gold in the event of gold being exported to Indie.. A gentleman styling himself Capt. Phillips-Wollcy with a special 'emphasis on tho "Capt." and the hyphen "-," sanitary inspector of the province, came to town the other day with a flourish of trumpets, laid information against a dozen or so of persons for neglect of tlie sanitary regulations, which resulted in the fining of six or seven persons and tit" dismissal of a couple of charges ancnt privies and cess pools because it was subsequently learned the offences were committed by persons now removed and the nuis. ances were on the public highway. In this act the Captain managed to corral son)- $-10 for the enrichment of the uvusury at Yictoiia, and in the blaze of his g.ory he lit out for the c.ipital. Now what strikes one in this connection as singular is this: Why a government officer should be so conspicuously partial. In this connection wc have nothing to say about the fines imposed, but we assume they were lor actual infractions, as tho public health is a matter of first consideration. The fact, then,that the informations against the actual owners of 'the cess pools were Jaid by the Captain himself, iy- phen and all included is evidence their evistence was infrnnotions'of-the law, and the Captain simply winked at it,��������� saw the infraction acknowledged it by faying informations, and went away without taking one step towards enforcing a'corrcction of the violations. Now how does the Captain,exuecL others to ol ey the law in matters that are in doubt, when he himself ignores what he acknowledges by informations to be violations. The point is this: When the Uaptain learned tho violations were on government, property, why did he not see the government was compelled to carry out regulations of its own creation, if he wants private parties to respect the government, its officers or the governmentlaws? This is a plain proposition and one that requires no Euclid, Algebra or Greek to unravel it. The question is why did not the Captain, we beg pardon with tho fty- pncn, take somo of tho money he gobbled in tho town in fines, and pay some one for cleaning up the cesspools on the government property ? Is it to remain a case, of fleece the people as long as.possible for a rigid observance of the law, spend the money in Victoria or elsewhere in high salaries for government officials with Captains and hyphens, and let people here who want tho town to remain healthy clean up tho cess pools for the government at their own expense. If this is the rule; the only cure is to regard the government and its hyphened officials as as public cess pool and make one general clearing out whenever an opportunity presents itself. second north fork ot Lemon creek and directly opposite tu tuwnsito of Lemon creek.))

They are now in 32 feet, and the rock is changing, which, Mr. Schomberg thinks, indicates nearing the ledge. ��������� ' Martin Markeson has received a number of samples of fine looking rock from a location recently made near the fifth south fork of Lemon creek. It is called Martin the Big Loaf, and is owned by Messrs. bronghton, Gilbert and Markeson'���������Slocan Cit\ News. ll~ Identified at Nelson as the Right Man. Starving A Whole Town. James Taylor who was arrested for tho murder of Sheriff Byler in Baxter county, Arkansas, in June 1892, reached the scene of the murder without delay. When he reached Nelson, Justice Drake read the charge to him, and it was duly supported by Sheriff L. C. Smith of that state. Taylor waived extradition, and went along with the American officers. It appears the man's name is Hardy, alias Roper, alias Taylor. '1 he nature of his offence is this: The dead shiriff and assistants were going to arrest him for cattle stealing, when lie lied and tool: refuge in a vacant house. He then fired on his followers through a crack in the building and Sheriff Byler fell mortally wounded, and died in ��������� a short time after. Taylor then escaped nnd his whereabouts were unknown until recently, when he wrote a letter to his brother on one of the letter heads of ' the Selkirk mine. This fell into the hands of the o!''ce'rs and led to the 'arrest. ^ It appears it was Sheriff Smith who identified the man here. Since reaching His destiny he wrote to J. A. Smith, of the Selkirk mine telling him what to do with some effects here. He says he will be able to clear himself, which h'- will, if he is not the guilty party. Even if he is, it may be shown he simply fired on his followers at random and did not intend to hit any one, which may be construed into a mitigating circumstance. Bar- VIOLENTLY INSANE.

SUNDOWM FRACTION. A representative of the News made a trip to the Sundown Fraction, situated one mile and a half below the Astonishing Story of Spanish barity in Cuba. The curate of the town of La ' Esperanza," in Santa Claa Province, has sent the following despatch to the Bishop of Havana: "From the first of July all tho stores and markets in this town have been closod'by order of the Captain General In God's nameI beg Your Fxcellency to implore the Captain General to withdraw his order. Otherwise all the ' inhabitants will die of hunger. Many have died already." 'The Captain General intends to enforce his decree until the fortifications are finished around the town, and I am informed that the works will not, be finished for twenty days." At the same time the Mayor of th'- town of La Esperanza wrote to the Governor of the province : "The whole population is starving. The resources of the municipality are exhausted. Hundreds of .women and children cry despairingly for food and hundreds have died of hunger. I do not know what to do under theso horrible circumstances. The order of General We.yler closing the markets and forbidding the sale of all kinds of victuals I cannot disobey. Meanwhile must 1 contemplate with indifference the spectacle of the peopJe of La Esperanza dying of the direst calamities ? I beg from Your Excellency a prompt answer. Wc have no time to spare if we are unwilling that everybody should perish here." La Esperanza is a town of about 8,000 inhabitants. It has been raided several times by tho insurgents recently, and to chastise the inhabitants for not defending the town, General Wey- ler issued his barbarous decree, under pretext that the stores and markets attracted the insurgents. What is more cruel still is the fact that a strong Spanish column is encamped around town and the Spanish soldiers are well provided with food,but stringent orders are given' to them, under the severest penalties, not to give any help to the inhabitants. The most territ'lc tales of misery come from the town; Mothers kneeling' before the soldiers, with their children in their arms, vainly beseech the heartless Spaniards,for a little food. Men who attempt to break through the Spanish lines in order to get into tho country either to procure food or joiu the insurgents are immediately shot. In many cases they have tried to force a passage throught instead of getting away by stealth,,but being unarmed the Spanish soldiers easily overpower and slay them. The only hope, of the population is that the insurgents may come and rescue them. 'But there is a very slight prospect of this. The insurgent bands which raid the town in July have now moved to the West, invading the Province ot Matanzas, and tho Cuban forces near. La Esperanza at this time are too few, to cope, with the 5,000 Spanish soldiers sent to the town t>y.General Weyler. The latest reports from La Esperanza say that a sort, of epidemic madness has been produced by hunger among the inhabitants, and that they kill each other and commit suicide by scores. i Bartlott Bros, are now packing down a car or two of ore for the 'Ajax mine. Two cars of Ruth and one of Ibex ora were wrecked on the Oregon short line a few days ago. c The Jackson mine has a double compartment shaft 100 feet deep, and soon a hoisting plant is to.be installed. E. J, Field says work on the Wonderful will be pushed more briskly than ever this fall and winter. Thoy are making ample preparations for it, i For the four weeks ending August 27 the Hall Mines smelter 5,766 tons of ore which yielded 522 tons of matte containing approximately 232 tons of copper, 157,300 ozs. of silver and 215 ozs. of gold. The Eagle mine, at the head of Sandon creek above the 3Ur was located in 1892, though but little was done with it until recently. It is owned by McLaren, of Perth, Ont., W. A. Allan,' of Ottawa, and E. Watt, who is now in charge. A few days ago,after the tunnel has reached 110 feet a lead of 12 feet in ividth with a satisfactory showing was met. This was on a cross cut tunnel. Mr. Watt is jubilant over his discovery. London Warnings. London���������The Englishmen now returning from the Klondyke are earnestly warning the public,against an English rush there. "The Klondyke," says one, "is a lottery. The are now about one hundred to'one prize." Yet this man has netted $30,000. He returns to the gold fields in the spring. i. ' ���������*" The papers begin to warn investors not to touch the Klondyke companies,' but' to extend their preference to Kootenay, where their returns are sure. The insurance companies are refusing to insure those going to Klondyke nt any price, unless they are joining a wcll-pqaipped expedition. The papers, however, publish advertisements inviting men with ������250 to join an expedition in November by a short and secret route to the northern regions. ��������� Weak Point of the Scheme. The Post's Paris correspondent, com meriting upon the article in the Eclair' by M, Gervaille. a member of the chamber of deputies from the island of Gaudeloup, French West Indies, advocating a Franco-Russian-American alliance against the common enemy, Euglan'd, says the writer shows plainly what help America would give the dual alliance, but it is not equally clpar what benefit America would derive from it. -��������� -~x> ��������� -v--;.. - ���������#T IV te '-i h \ J f-.: ���������*������ ;* '* VJ- ��������� ���������> -. ������ i- * ' m 1 -���������. m -ill ii ' .'I j J!

Th.e-owners of" the mines are 'nearly all owners of town property they cannot afford to to become depreciated in value for , the lack of employed labors in' the ; vicinity. Then again: there are immense amounts of money invested in' 'railways concentrators, smelters, etc.��������� these can,K)t be sacrificed, when con- \cessions will keep them in value. A.ll of these would have to come to the rescue, and.dperate at actual cost and even below it, to keep the mines running if silver dropped below an otherwise'payingprice. The report that "mines in Colorado and elsewhere, are -suspending operations because of the low price of silver has nothing whatever to do with the matter. Ourbies are; of the highest grade in. the world, and consequently less expensive in handling and treatment per ���������yaluc than any other ores in the world. ���������Our. concentrators, trams, etc. are be one of them. It is, of 'course, a fact that it is;indelicate for any newspaper to criticise closely the merits of .a,case" after it is :b.efore a court,' as that may tend to prejudice evidence ;to be subsequently given and influence the'result unfairly; but that is all there' is abput< it.' : If Forin's view of the 'matter, were carried out--newspapers', reports of cases would be very tame indeed; but'then we do not live in China, where newspapers ..reports have to be submitted to autocratical,authority bjfore they are given to'the public. The Miner said, this was a brutal assault, and.it went on toshov/why it was brutal, dealing Vith. the provocation and the consequences of the assault, alleging :the assailant should be severely punished. : We. cannot see that the paper exceeded ;its, authority or natural license, in this country, in. its comments. . .Of course, if it laid down a course for the'court, to take in the: case-, defining the -punishment, it. would have ..as the judge declared exceeded ��������� its proper license, but we .cannot sec that it,did. If-tlie judge's view limited tlie scope 'of a paper, all it could say of any case rio matter liow sensational, cruel or brutal, would be ah unembellished,recital ,6'f. the facts which 'would be "Kold Kale", indeed for the appetite, of the newspaper reader of .the present:'day. In the 'case of-.,Wood, who was hanged at Nelson, all it could, say was Paddy Woods .was.'shot ; it-..was, asserted j. Wood shot him, ' Wood subsequently escaped from gaol, he was re-arrested,, and'would shortly come up, for trial.

The lot is owned by Air. Harris, as he jointly, owns the rest of the townsite. The. building had been occupied,' and the tenant had moved out arid sold" her right of -possession, etc., to another who was about to move in. , While the house was vacant,' that is after the one'party had moved out,.and before the other .moved in, an employee of Mr. Harris, under instructions, tore it down. ..The employee was at once arrested for house breaking and .theft. At the trial,, before the justices, they held there was not a case against the prisoner, and ��������� he was forthwith released. This shows that an owner may at any time, while vacant at least, destroy any building another party may erect or 'endeavor to control on his.property.. .There are some' who contend that a mining right does not constitute a valid title. Of course, it is not such a title as a. straight Crown grant, or, as the Torrens, system would give,, but it is one that deprives any one else, at least, of the right of ownership or peaceable occupancy, and we believe the courts have gone farther in declaring it quite valid. A mining right enables the owner at any time to-occupy it for mining purposes, whether to the mind of another, there is mineral there ,or not, and, of:course, this renders possession or, occupancy by another without the authority of the party holding the mining right simply'but of the question. The essence'of the whole matter - is that if a party gets a title fromcMr. Harris neither Crown nor any one else can dispossess him or his assignee, though the law would not consider it equal. to either, a-'crown patent or a Torrens'deed. It is a "moral certainty, that many.,a one now going;to the Klondyke, who, if''thoy'return, at all, will return 'in disgust.

When the case came up for ���������hearing before the Judge, the other (day, the latter gave the newspaper a ���������;seyerc lecturing tor its comments, asserting the paper was trying., the case for tlie court. -It is no. secret that some judges "as well as* some other Our good brother Lowry says that he was the first journalist in the country to mention the necessity of a mint for Canada.

They of course can be hashed and re-hashed and manufactured into.many more. The. substance then is that Canada lias lost nearly a million dollars on the eighteen or twenty millions of American gold now circulating and held by the banks and treasury of the country j that we have lost correspond ingly on the silver and copper coin minted in the old country : and thai wc have suffered to be transferred to the United States and Great Britain all the labor and all the advantages of labor employed in the coining.

David Mills, and ''some, recent utterances:,by him to'" a 'reporter of the-'London' Advertiser are decidedly interesting. He said,that if and when the Alaskan boundary.is properly "drawn Canadians, will have'plenty, of-access to tho Klondyke via tho Pacific ocean and the Yukon. Dyea, for instance, he claims, is in Canadian territory; and he strongly advocates the' route, through Lynn inlet,"which, he argues, Ties almost wholly within Canadian,territory. '���������Prom the headwaters of the inlet to the headwaters of some, of the ' trib'u- larieo of the Yukon, a short .railway stretch of 50 or 60-miles, established either through Chilcoot or White, Pass, would bo the only railway construction required-,'-" ho say^-, "and the construction of such a route would require an expenditure of .'a very moderate amount of'money, and would give people df'siring to go to that district an easy and comparatively cheap highway." The basis of. his>oiiteu,tion:is.-that tho bonndary'does not properly follow all the. windings of the shore,' but only does so when -"no coast, line'' intervenes. He'goes very fully into the question from the d.ays.of-Russian possession down, quoting the treaty clause in oxtenso. ������������������'' The ��������� treat}' makes ''the summit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast" , the boundary line from where it strikes the 5Gl,h degree of north latitude on the mainland until it intorsects the" 1-llst degree, west hingitude which it follows to theA'-ctic. Another explanatory clause . is "added in which 'it declares,' among other things, that wherever" the summit of the coast line "'shall, prove to be at-tirj distance 'of more than tcti marine ���������leagues from the ocean', tho limit between the British possessions and tlie line of coast, which' is to belong to Russia, as above mentioned, shall be formed by a lino parallel to tho windings of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of, ten mar- inr leagues therefrom." Now, Mr. -Mills argues that it was clearly the intention or the treaty to adhere to the coast lino wherever there was such a thing, no ni'itter if it crossed inlets or not. Tho Russians, ho points out, only wanted fishing rights 011 the coast, and so woro not likely to stand out for the right to go behind fho coast lino at any place. Now Lynn inlet is crossed by a range of mountains near tho coast, known as Sr.. Blias' Alps, whic contains 'a number of peaks ranging from 10,000 to, 10,000 feet high. There are a number'of other inlets in J the same -position, and he insists (hat they are all ' "Canadian waters lying in Canadian, boundaries."���������Yan- couvoi World. ��������� . ^CjJflBtt��������� ���������t-t :.������������������ ' The; Engineering and Mining Journal says': .On July 27th the Dominion cabinet decided to,demand a royalty on the, output of the--now. digging of'the.

Proudly and majestically the balloon rose, passing directly, through'the open northern portion of its former dwelling. Andree gazed-with '-'happy. ...confidence, on.those who remained behind,- and then, he and his comrades waving their caps, he cried out, "Greetings at home to Sweden." Those who had- a 'photographing apparatus'took yet another snap-shot. Turning to the shore, we all saw.the balloon floating some 1K1 feet above, the water. .A . moment of intense anxiety followed, for the balloon was driving right .onto a jutting prominence of rock on the east side of Smcerenburg Sound and threatened to collide with it. Suddenly, however, a gust of wind coming through tho The recent assassinationsin Europe of prominent personages..have,.brought hack to. many the recollection of. the assassination of; Presidents ' Lincoln and Garfied.- :,-In a recent issue of the New York Sun' there have appeared letters iisking if there were not many people still living who, saw Abraham Lincoln assassinated, and have revealed the whereabouts, of several: '..Among them is James 2v Mill's, of ...Brooklyn,. "I was born in Brooklyn in 1845," said Mr. Mills'recchtly, "so that at the' outbreak of the war I'.was under ,10 'years ;6f age.- I' wanted, te go;t6the front :'as a.drummer boy, but when Fapplied to. the,'officers..of��������� a 'regiment:, called , the 'Brooklyn Phalanx,' afterward known as'the First, Long Island. Regiment, ���������they'dbld meT was'too' young. I after wards made my way to Washington; -without my'mother's consent aiid; enlisted as a: drummer -boy'-, in TS62. ��������� I served in the Army of the Potomac for three years/ and during the closing day's of the war was clerk in; the War Department.'" Oh the night of .the" assassination of President Lincoln I attended the theatre to.see.Laura Ke.eiie in 'Our American Cousin.' The theatre was packed. There must have- been 2,000 people in the house, every one desirous of seeing' the President and General Graiit,who,were expected to be present. After the. President took bis seat in the box and the cheering ceased, the crowd was absolutely still. I can only account for their' silence by' the fact that it was a cosmopolitan crowd, representing about' 'every . regiment located near Washington, and including'travellers from every Statp in the Union. Gen. Grant did not attend, and Mr. Lincoln, accompanied by Mrs. Lincoln and Colnel Bathbone, of the United States army, niade up the Presidental party. Thoy occupied the righthand box on the dress circle. The third act of the play had', begun, and 'Harry iTawk,tim actor in the company,' had just appeared on the stage, from the left, when there was the report of a pistol shot. 'Looking over at the. President's box, I saw a man standing and gesticulating at the occupants;. An instant-later the man jumped from,the box. to the stage, turned;(looked at the audience, and then disappeared.:. He muttered, something as he looked at the audience, but! have never been able to recall just what, he said. .Instantly .the-audience arose us if spellbound, the whisperings of a moment before became a roar of voices, and when it had dawned upon the audience that the .President had been assassinated, tho confusion was indescribable. I made my way .to the head of the stairs as-quickly ns the crowded condition of the house would permit, and, passing out into Tenth street, gave the alarm to the provost guards. Those-guards, by the way, were- stationed at all theatres for examine, the passes of soldiers in uniform w o were in the city after nightfall. ' The guard Isnoke to ran around to the. alley entrance of the theatre on F street and entered tin; backdoor. I returned to the front of the thealro nnd made my ' way to liie dress, circle,and to the box of the Presidental p..rty just as. Mr. 'Lincoln was being carried out. on tho shoulders .of two men. One of these, was the pro-, prietor of a sald'in adjoining the theatre. He was in his shirt 'sleeves, the head of Mr. Lincoln'resting on his shoulder and the blood trickling down the sleeves and the buck of his shirt. The President was carried down stairs ! anil across the street into Mrs. Tetci-j son's boarding house, dir c(.|y. oppusitei the lln-atre. As Airs. Lincoln . was. foi": the moment without an eSt'ort, I jeii'tiv I grasped her arm and led her from ti.e! box. She was nearly hysterical, crying j' nnd sulduin,' bitterly. Wo followed the i.

The,New York Time in a reee.nts' issue said-: A Quebec ooTcs/iondent informs'a"Boston papev that, the Dominion authorities, apparently ��������� anticipate-trouble of, a serious kind with somebody or other, and that they are making in many places on an extensive scale and in .obvious' haste what looks cxtrem ely like preparations for war. Tiiis, he admits, may be mere'y th"t.: occupation for peaceful days whose wisdom has , been commended by Theodore liobsevelt, George Wash-' ingt-du, Quintus Hcratius Flacoas, and other worthias. but the correopsndent is disposed, to think that-"'the sudden activity is tlie result of what are deemed urgent and definite contingencies. He has, according ; to the dispatch, gained entrance recently to the several armories, stores, and m-gaziiits in -and around Quebec, and was "quite amazed" by the quantity of new ordinances and ammunition which has now-'replaced, the .obsolete weapons aud cartridge's that have, cumbered these places since. 1870. '.l"ne stacks, of old sniders have disappeared to make room., for enough Lee-Enfield rifles to arm the wnokl Canadian militia, and in, the citedal milions oi' smokeless powder cartridges lire piled up ready for.quick distribution. Six batteries of 12-pound- ��������� er.breech-loading held guns have also arrived, and .could -be sent at once wherever needed, and with-theni is a pretty gathering of Muxim-NGrdenfeldt' quick-firing guns. Almos" every, steamer, this terrilying person deoUrcs, brings an addition to the stock of war material, and tho Superintendent of the citadel keeps a (orin'an and a dozen subordinates bmy receiving r.nd issuing it. Possibly there is some foundation in ff.ct for these statements, but it is not the sort of inl'i-rmatioii that, is to be intrusted, to men whose business it. is to tell what they hear. Ths cbr- re;,pondent tries to connect what be has learned���������or guessed at���������with tlie sealing question and the Klondyke discoveries hut these are ludicrously' insignificant when set alonside of tlie vision'of a war between England and United States. '' Surprise Party. J. . McCorvey1, was before .lustiees Sandilands and Lilly on Thursday. charged with breaking in Mr. J. S. Eeeder's door at ThreeForks, and striking Mrs. Eeeder. He was lined $20 for the assault and ������10, which with '"costs'amoumed to over $40. He paid the amount mid threatened to appeal ��������� which the justices told him he could do. I On Thursday evening some 40 people gathered at Silencer's hall at tlie hour of 0 o'clock, by invitati'/n of. a committee of ladies of the. Methodist church.' From there they wended their way to the residence of .Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith and completely took them by surprise, they never had the least intimation previously, of what was to befall them. As Mrs. Smith and .family arc- about to leave our midst, and being assiduous workers in tho. Methodist church, the ladies adopted', this -mode of bidding farewell, showing the high esti'm .tion and the. value of their services.
