Mard,Intelligent Work Requiredâ€"A Splen_ did Dairying Countryâ€"For Fruit Grow _ ing British Columbia Camnot be Excelâ€" ledâ€"Market Quotationsâ€"Good Transâ€" portation and Ready Cash Marketsâ€" One Great Drawback, Hardly a day passes, says the Vancouvet World, but we are asked by correspondents abrcad to answer the question, "Is there any chance for a farmer with limited means to get a start and make a fair living in British Columbia ?* Our invariable answer, frankly, is "Yes." Mixed farming if conduct® ed as it should be, will pay handsomely. But there must be hard, intelligent work, no matter where the ranche may be located ' or what the surrounding conaitions. . The day is past, and is not likely to return for{ many a year to come, when fortunes can be made by raising stock on the Interior ranges ®nd allowing them to run wild ; or in mak« ing a success of grain growingâ€"that is in certain sections of the province. For inâ€" stance, in the Spallumcheen and Okanagan districts wheat, of the very best quality» can be grown successfully, The sam® favorable conditions exist in Lilloost and Cariboo, and in a few sections of the Island. Oats, peas, barley, and rye are grown with wdvantage in the valley of the Fraser, as well as wheat to a very considerable extent. But the upper country is scarcely adapted for the latter and the culture of barley as ; well. Dairying offers SPLENDID INDUCEMENTS, as the consumption of butter and cheess, population considered, in British Columbia issimply enormousâ€"almost incredible, It is claimed by those who shonld know that | our importation of butter alone exceeds in value $5,000 for every day of the year, to say nothing of cheese. The raising of hogs and poultry pays well, Those who devote wttention and intelligence to these lines of ive stock cannot fail to make profits, greater returns in tact than can possib ly be obtained anywhere that we are awa re of. British Columbia can hardly be said to be a roor man‘s paradise, but those who have . a little means, lots of perseverance, pluck, ‘ and energy, a will to work, and stroag, brawny arms, need not apprehend failure here. â€" Newâ€"comers should be possessed of sufficient capital to give them a fair start in the avocations in which they are about to engage. In many sections land can be bought at very reasonable rates, In others, according to locality, they rule high, These are based on the yield, the condition the soil is in, and buildings. Our advice to all is to buy Delta or cleared land, even it the prices asked appear to be high, Timberâ€" ed property here is costly to clear, that is where heavily wooded, and in many inâ€" stances after it has been got ready the owner has but a gravel bed for his pains. Such may suit the horticulturist, but the intelligent farmer prefers a black, loamy soil on a clay bottom to a sand hill. In some sections the growth is easily denuded and the mould the very best ; this applies to land covered with alder, cotton wood, birch, and maple. IN BRIYISH COLUMBIA As we have already said, British C bis is for the farmer. If he has a penchant tor stockâ€"raising, he shoald get the beat breeds of blood possible in horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry. The day of the scrub animal is past ; the experience of Eastern Canadiacs will bear out this statement, To | the farmers of that section of the Dominion | British Columbia should be a Mecca. â€" As a ‘ rule these have proved to be our most 80.C= . cessful agriculturists, . They have been: brought up to the avocation, and taught to apply nerve and brain to their work, and those who carry these into effect in this province need have no reason to complain of the change made in mccepting Horace (Greeley‘s advice to go Weet, even to the shores of the wide Pacific ocean.

GREY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, The Territorics of the State Are the Perâ€" somal Possession of the King of the | RBelglans. : The proposal soon to be made to the Belâ€" gian Chambers for the formal annexation of the Congo Free State is in accord with the trend of events for some years past. Un:â€" der the General Act of the Berlin Conferâ€" ence of 18$4â€"85, and the condition under which the Belgian government recognized that act, the territories of the state are the personal possession of the king of the Belâ€" gians. That sovereign was one of the first to interest himself in geographical discov» ery and commercial development in Africa, l having during! Mr. Stauley‘s progress up the Cengo in 1876,founded the Internationâ€" al Atrican Association, which had for its objects the suppression of the slave and ‘liquor traffic, the opening of new markets, ete. The formation of the International (CJongo Association some three years after® ward, and the success of Mr, Stanley in lopening up the Congo valley, gave a new object to his ambition, that of founding & | great African state, free to the trade of all nations, and operating as a civilizing force in the Dark Continent. The rapidly growâ€" | ing jealousies of other European powers | possessed of territorial ambitions, and the ‘ | bickerings of France and Portugal over | control of the mouth of the Congo, brought matters to a crisis, andled to the Berlin | Conference of 1884, for the adjudication of | all African questions. . s olum Under the General Act of this conference, the Congo State, already partially organizâ€" ed by the International African Associaâ€" tion, was formally recognized, the associaâ€" tion merged into )ts government,and, a few months later, its sovereignty vested.in King Leopold with the assent of the Beigian Parliament on condition that the union between Belginm and the new state should be wholly personal. Since that time the king has largely borne the cost of adminâ€" istration of the etate out ot his private fortune, having expended, it is estimated, not less than $8,000,000; but the annual revenue is even now less by $200,000 than the expenses, and he is vo longer able to meet the deficit, A proposal is, therefore, to be made to the Belgian Parliament to aunex the territories; and though a few years ago it would not have been considerâ€" dn k voolk im ed by that body, it is believed that the prejudice existing in the kingdom against colonial adventure has now been so far overcome that it will be accepted. By a will made in 1889 the king devised all his tights in the Congo State to the Belgian kingdom, and a year later the government made & loan to the king to be used in the state, on condition that at its expiration Belgium could take the territories if it so desired, steps which have prepared the people for the prosent proposal, _ The French government, which claims the first right to purchase the state should it change hands, has consented to the annexation, the Clerical majority in the Belgian Chamber favors the proposal, and the Socialist minâ€" ority is not strong enough to defeat it. ‘That the change will be beneficial to the state there is little doubt, for though nominally international in character, it has become so wholly Belgian in administration that the Brussels government should be held directly responsible for it, while it will give to the Belgian kingdom a colonial dominion of vast natural resources, At | the same time, the change should be satisâ€" | factory to other nations, for the Congo State will be still open to their trade, though the privilege has thus far amounted to but little, owing to the imposition of duties required to maintain adequate proâ€" tection for the natives against imquity and oppiession Crime in the Republic is Agzravated by | Their Judiclal and Political Systems, { Much has been written concerning social sonditions in the United States, and those of us who have the good fortune to belong to the British Empire areaccused of unduly. magnifying the general unrest, the conâ€" tempt for law,and the insecurity of life and property which, in our British view, are the distinguishing characteristics of United States institutions, To this charge, a suflicient reply is that the censures are based on evidence supplied by the Ameriâ€" cans themselves and ought to form at least some basis for forsign criticism. For example. â€" Tne Chicago Tribune has of late years kept a record of criminal events reported in the daily press, adds up the totals at the year‘s end and publishes them. wak s has appeared. Of lynchings there were 188, which shows some improvement on rreviuus years, the highest point. having »een reached in 1892 with 235 lynchings. Last year 24 of the 188 lynchings took place in the northern states, and the number of white victims in all the states was 21, showing that the crime is not a mere southern antiâ€"negto crusade. The causes of the lynchings are given as 151 for murder, 37 for rape, and the other tcnmcu and aileged offences for which sumâ€" mary vengeance was taken include larceny, ‘ arson, and in the case of negross **conjurâ€" ing, kidnapping writing letters to white women, introducing smallpox, giving inâ€" formation, political causes, enticing . serâ€" vants away, asking white women in marriage, conspiracy, etc." The feature of this part of the record which strikes a foreigner most forcibly is that of 151 lyochings for charges of murder, indicating the lack of confidence in the regular legal powers for punishing these crimes. C c Mita o n n P ces " We Mss THE CONGO FREE STATE P oi on e e ie Ag es In other Eeptrtm:n!n of crime The Tri bune‘s record shows 1894 to have been The number of suicides was 4,912, against 4,460 in 1893, 3,860 in 1892 and 3,331 in 1891. No doubt the hard times has a direct bearing on this, for nearly oneâ€"half the suicides are ascribed to despondency,. The amount of money stolen by embezziers, defauiters, etc., was $25,234,112, the highâ€" est on record. There was a startling in« crease in the number of murders. . In 1894 these amounted to 9,800 against 6,615 in 1$93 and 3.567 in 1889. It is butfair to bear in mind that increases in crime so appaling as this may partly be due to a better method of keeping the record. . We have mo wish to ?n.int the situation any blacker than The Tribune im.ull‘ doLa.‘ IMDYOY TOs on ie oee de ds The inference that may justly be drawn from these statistics is that crime in the republic is aggravated by their system, judical and political, n’ndlhy other condiâ€" sun 1 ue on dr C004 bans tw Shin PRREAER OAE onl ces l tions, which even a radical alteration in the constitution could hardly hope to amelio« rate. _ You cannot, by statute or executive measures, inculcate a national respect for law and order when it is absent, and what the millions of lawâ€"abiding propertyâ€"owning people in the States have most to fear is the undermining of the material interests and social stability by the lawless element. Monlds and Material Found in Posseassion of Angersoli Men, A despatch from Ingersoll, Ont., says : ~ Two men, John Paimer and Adam Ross, both of Ingersoll, were arrested here on _ Monday for making counterfeit money, The ipnet:ce has been going on for some time, wud several of the coins have been passed. Palmer‘s house was searched after the arrest, and the moulds and material from which the bogus cons were made were found. They were arraigned before the police magistrate and pleaded not guilty. ‘They were remanded until next Friday. More arrests will likely be made.

HOW IT RECEIVED ITS QUIETUS IN ENGLAND IN 1836. Wostile Mecting of the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Winchelscaâ€"Pablic Condemnation of the Code Resulting From the Experience of Captain $0op Dueling in England was on the wane at the date of the hostile meeting between the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Winâ€" chelsea. That occurred in 1829,and marked an epoch in the modification of such an appeal to arms, Our readers may have forgoiten the occasion and result of this meeting, and we therefore recapitulate its general features, Wellington was Prime Minister, He had brought in the ** Romau Catholic relief bill,"" Winchelses opposed it and said the thing was doue under false pretenses. A wearisome correspondence ensned, ending with the Duke writing. «*For this insult I believe that His Lord ship will be anxious to give me reparation:‘ Without reractin g, â€"howsver, the Earl continucd beating the bush until hereceived a note in these words : "I now call upon Your Lordship to give me that satisfaction for your conduct which a gentleman has a right to require and which a gentleman never refuses to give, I have the honor, &c., Wentaxarto®." To which the Earl replied : "The satisfaction which Your Grace has demanded is, of course, impossible for me to decline. I have the honor, &c., The parties met at Battersea Fields next | motning, the Duke attended by Sir Henry Hardinge, the Earl by Lord Falmouth, Ground having been measured ard places taken by the principals, at the word "Fire" the Duke raised his pistol, but seemed to hesitate for he saw that the Earl kept his pistol pointing downward, oviâ€" dently not intending to fire. _ He then fired at random. â€" The Earl did not discharge his pistol. Thereupon Lord Falmouth stepped forward and delivered a memorandum to Sir Henry Hardinge, expressing i TiE EARL‘S REGRET. And the parties separated, . Upon a subseâ€" quent inquiry by a committee of the House: Lord Falmouth stated the condition upon which he consented to act as second to the Farl was that the latter should not fire at the Duke, He also raid, "The Earl of Winchelsa thought that the injury he had done the Duke of Wellington was too great \fnr a mere apology, and that he ought to receive his fire !‘ That was the idea of "honor‘ 65 years ago, and it was said the \ # fron Duke" regarded it as the most absurd trausaction in which he ever took part i ihbatatd The tones of the Justice‘s charge aroused him from his dreams. He fully understood the import of every word that fell from the Bench, and listened with constantly growâ€" ing alarm, | The jury was out about half an hour, a delay which induced hope of a favorable result, Upon their return their names were called by the Sheriff and a ’ P P l s verdict demanded. _ The foreman * We find the paisoner Captain Scoper stood facing the jury. No sooner was the verdict rendered than, turning deathly pale, he fell as if shot with a mortal wourd, and, amid the proâ€" found silence of the Court and spectators, uttered a long, loud groan. . But he was , soon sufficiently recovered to receive sentâ€" ence, and was called upon in the usual form to say ‘‘why sentence of death should not be passed upon him according to law." He made a logical and remarkable adâ€" dress, beginning with an apology for the interruption he had eccazioned to the busiâ€" mess of the Court, an incident he hoped would not be imputed to his fear of death, which he had braved unmoved in battle, But he had a dear wife .nd beloved childâ€" ren to whom he had trusted to bequeath his only fortuneâ€"the unstained reputation of a soldier and a man of honor. Yet, now he was to die the death of a felon, and leave to his family the inheritence of a inurderer‘s infamy ! ‘ 1 1 3 sou t ied EToE PCY C He adverted to the circumstances of the duel, some parts of which had come out during the trialâ€"that the dead man was the aggrestor, and had publicly offered him 1 PW sE ogi e msld . y n e en en S on an insult, which he dared not overlook ; that he had been willing to accept any apoâ€" logy, but could get none ; that he had no alternative but to send a challenge or lose his commission ; that it was well known to every one acquainted with the army that if he had not sent a challenge to vindicate his honor und the honor of the service the next post would have brought an intimation from the Horse Guards that the King had ‘ xo FURTHER OCCaSION ‘ for his services, and he pointed out strong ly the bewildering contrast between the practice of the armyâ€"not only authorized and encouraged, but expented and exacted by the highest powersâ€"and the stern senâ€" tence of the civil law in reference to the same transaction, . Hespoke of the deceased with affection and regret, and declared that nothing but a sense of what he owed to his profession would have led him to send the challenge, and he bitterly lamented that a faise idea of honor had precluded a friend from yielding the apology, which would have ended the quarrel. I : . yqe s onle u9c Em Sm eRmEnti 2 We give only the merest outline of the ‘ points made by Captain Sooper. _ lt was a | remarkable plea, presented with firmness | and in a manly way, and made a profound | impression. ‘Tears were seen upon many faces, and even audible sobs testified to the 1 deep sympathy of those present. The: Justice, an able and good man, and full of the kindest feelings, was quite taken by surprise, . He listened attentively, and obâ€" viously was much affected, Finally tears started from his eyes, and, covering his face with bis hands, he omitted all remarks on the offense when he pronounced sent tence, and simply said : ‘‘The sentence of the law is," &c. â€" But while the Justice yet had his face covered with his hands, the | prisoner had said : [PATPCTCDUABLT 0 bahae lad to exvecution EDT garcl "And for this I am to be led to execution like the vilest felon." ‘The Justice, overpowered by the appeal, said to himself, unwittingly loud enough to be overheard by the Sherilf : ""No, byâ€"â€"! ‘:l“ shall not die!"

(Cries of ‘Mear, hear,") He prayed,in the name of justice and with a view of removing a just cause of disconâ€" tent among the Irish people, that they be now liberated." ‘Lhe petition was handed to the clerk of the House, and the depute» tion withdrew. â€" The pn:';leg- of appearing at the bar of the House is one that the Lord Mayors of Dunlin alone have enjoyed since 1813. The New Cardinal Poppy. Each year sees a distinct advance made in the production of new and more bemutiâ€" ful varieties of our standard flowers, says a correspondent, ‘The pansy, the sweet pea and the poppy have in recent years been NEW CAKDINAL POPPY, each particularly fortunate in the results of the attention which has been bestowed upon them. 1 have raised many of the newer varieties of these three flowers dueâ€" ing the past season and have been highly gratified with the beautifully colored blosâ€" soms that have appeared. Particularly gratifying have been the results in the cul« tivation of new sorts of pansies and pofpiu. The most beautifal variety of the latter that has made brilliant color in the garden, has been the New Cardinal Poppy, an illusâ€" tration of which is given herewith, The IMPERIAL POLITICS, color is the beautiful combination of carâ€" dinal and white, while the form is decidedly hendsome, a perfect head being formed that is decidediy *Feathery" in appearance, It is a decided acquisition to the list of poppies and deserves to be widely cultivatâ€" ed ; such beautitul varieties of our good old fashioned flowers seeming to me to be much more satisfactory to cultivate in large beds, than a great mass of this, that and the other flowers, some goed, some bad and many indifferent, and almost none possessâ€" ing any decided character as & blossom. A few beautiful varieties of flowers are far more prefera ble to the heterogeneous collectâ€" tions one sees in many gardens. The Enormous Amount of Coal Consumed on the Great Atlantic Liners, Not a little guesswork has been gone through by many as to the probable quantiâ€" ties of coal which are daily shovelled into the furnaceâ€"mouths of such big Atlantic liners as the steamers Paris, New York, }Csmpunil, and Lucania. Ten years ago 100 tons a day was considered a most ‘ prodigious consumption, little likely to be excee(!ed in the years to come, and woud> cring comment there was in l‘i:lenly that so vast a quantity should find a legivimate outlet, Since then, however, the public mind has been educated up to higher figâ€" ures,and statemente of 200 and even 300 tons w day have ceased to attract more than passing notice . Three hundred and fitty | tors, in fact, are sard to be burned on the Paris and the New York in every twenty» four hours, but of the Lucania and Camâ€" pania co particulars have ever been 1Ii'un, | «o that an approximation based on what is | known of the power equipment of these \ po Mr" .\ ships is all that can be offered. Twenty» ll‘lg.’ll thousand â€" horseâ€"power has beea | assumed to be the amount that each of : | these vessels require to propel them at the | great speed which they maintain, Added :\ to this power of the main engines must be f | the appreciable figure npr:nnud by the E Un ue nc + Lo EP ons detitt C U hoat of auxiliary engines and pumps which are necessary adjuncts,and which, with the steamâ€"heating . systems . and . hotâ€"water !Appsuuu, help to swell the steam conâ€" ‘-umpt.ion to such m degree that a total | allowance of, say, sixteen pounds of steam \ per hour for each of the 28,000 horseâ€" | power may be taken as quite within the mark. Allowing, then, a boiler perform | mance of eight pounds of steam per pound ‘ of coal, which caunot be far wrong, we | have a coal consumption of two pounds per | hour for each horseâ€"power, or 56,000 ‘ pounds, equivalent to 600 tons per day. | This is pretty plain fignring, though, of 42240 d 00740 Aucnoilt w Neomgâ€" 4 P course, partly speculative, and while the outcome may uuunronunlv high, it, no doubt, quite truthfuily represents the facts in the ense. 1 AMONG THE STOKERS 11\ AWKs 3,}/’ “*:‘(?3% > %fl":;‘."-m * 1*3‘;(!2%%‘ ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO WHOLE NO. 858.
