The chief sent for me and gave me to ,underst1md that I niip;ht go and talk with the prisoner, At the time I took it a.e a gracious favor, but later on I ea.w it was only the first step on tr.e prog.ra.m of torture. They w11onted to torture the poor fellow ment"'lly as well as pnysioally. I at once went overt~ him. He wa.1 duat-covered and blood-stained, , and evidently half dead of thirst. Before ·pea.king to him I brought him a gourd of water. The vessel held a full qna.ro, and h. e draln0d it to the last drop before he looked up. "My God ! You a.re a white man I" he exclaimed, a.a he uw my. face. " Yes, bu' a prlsonu, ·like yourself," "Oh ! yon wall save me, won't you?

" Gen. Sully's." " Where 18 lt ?" . . " I was captured about twenty milea from here, and we broke ca.mp this mom· Ing." " Who was your captain?" "Ca.pt, Smith." " What is your name ?" He promptly replied to the .query, but I cannot now reca.11 the name ; it WM like Saulsbury or Slatterly. He ha.d the moat direful forebodinus of the immediate future and anxiety· a.ad ill usage ha.d almo2t driven him crazy. He was a. large, stout man, with blaok hair and deep black eyes, and had evidently been ln the service for years. He might have been termed a ga.me man. but the.fear of torture had ma.de a child of him. At his earnest solicitation I went to seek the chief, but before · I reached the tent a crowd of warriors seized the prisoner and hurried him t o a stake driven in the clear space in the centre of the village. I sa.w that I was too la.te, and started for my lodge, but before I reached it I was seized by two bucks and hurried to the stake and made to sit down on the grass beside a nub-chief, 'Ihe head chief had a seat a few feet away, and his countenance expressed the great ea.tlefactlon he 1mtioipated. The soldier's arms were tied behind him to the stake, while his legs were lefc free, Such terror and anguish I never saw in a human face before or since.

Blood flowed so freely that I believed he would be a dead man tn five minutes. 1'hen hio other a.rm and leg were sliced, e.ud his calls for mercy were answered by Eneers and laughter, Then, at brief intervals, the prisoner's ea.re, nose, and chin were cut off, tile body cut and slashed, his toes severed from ". the foot, and brands of fire held against his legs and body that the braves might see him squirm a.ud dance. Even now, fifteen years after, I grow faint · at the thought, a.nd·I shudder ae I rooall his groans and ehrieka. Aq I eat there before him I neither turned my eyea away nor fainted. There was a horrible fascination which I could not shake off, and tile feeling w~s strong upon me that I would be the next victim, The torture continued for a full hour, during which time the man never fainted once, and there was scarcely an instant when he was not pleading and begging for mercy. He was dyed in blood after the first five minutes, i:.nd . it ran down until the ground was satutated, but it wae cer· tainly a whole hour before he ga.ve up.

Are we ali\'e to the importanoe of ~he impending cha~ge? At present the mam line of communication between Europe u.nd Asia is by the wa.y of New York and San Francisco. The malls all ta.ke th!s route,_ and eP do passengers to whom time is an obJect. L'ltterly tea and silk have ~een following their example. Now here 1s a s~orter line opened. From Port ~foody to Liverpool, .via. Montreal and Halifax, the distance ie reckoned u.t ~6,226 miles; from San Francisco to Liverpool, via. New~York, 6,450 miles, and we are inclined to think 'that a. careful meaeurement would ma.ke the di:ffierence even greater. Steamers ea.iliug from Port:Moody to Y ok.ohama would have an advantage over steamers sailing from San Francisco of a.bout twelve degrees of northing at the point of d.apar~ure-probably equivalent to two days' difference in time for the voyage. In t hese de.ye, when time ia money, traffio invariably takes the shortest route. Are our railway and .steamship companies prepared to surrender th., traffic between Europe and Aeia without a struggle ? And if they a.re not, how ia It to be retained ? If the l<Jnglhh once get their ste:i.m· ship and railway lines in perfect working order and people begin to travel over them regularly, the .l'a.clflc Mail and the Occiden t al and Oriental stelimere may just as well be ta.ken off the berth. So.oner or later the coolje trade, which, ie the best part of their business now, will be stopped. San Francisco will then be the real terminus of our tra.uscontinenta.l · .system, instead of some point in Aeia., which should be the terminus. This anangement w ould not be satiefa.ctory to the Chinese, who are shrewd enongh to see that the acquisition by the English of a monopoly of the traffic between Asia and America would be fquivalent to a tighten· Ing of the grip which England now has on China's throat. The Chinese showed by their transfer of their merchant stel'meru to the Amnican flag during the late war that they knew who their friends were and .who their enemies, But if we sit by idly wa.tch ing the Eng'ish perfect their pla.ns without sttcring a hand to strenghen our poshion, wha.t cu.n China do?"
