Accused of Casting Away His A.Seestael to the Story oethe Wreck °Rate Seven Itrothers on the Comt oiNova iteotta A Halifax despatch says ;-Several weeks ago sehooner Seven Brothers, cemmao ded by Warren Baker of jeddore, left here for Port Hood, N. S, with a cargo cousisting of flour, paints and, oils and sundry packages of merchandise. A few days after leaving here word was received that the schooner had. got ashore nes.r Collis -es Harbor, White- head, and , would he a tatal Wreck. She wes insured in Canadian agencies for $600 and there was $650 on the cargo in Nova Scotia Marine Underwriters. Agent Capt. Anderson was sent to the scene of the disaster to arrange about the saving of the cargo, When he arrived at the wreck and inspected lier, he found there was not more than half the quantity of flour on board that had been shipped, and on ques- tioning the captain be could get no satistac- tory explanation. Capt. Anderson had what there was an board landed and sold for the benefit of the underwriters and then returned to the city. He reported to the insurance officers that there appeared to be something crooked about the affair, but there was not sufficient grounde on which to work up a case, Some days afterwe.rds information was re- ceived bs the underwriters from men on the eastern shore stating that parts of cargo of the Seven Brothers, principally flour, had been landed at various points on the coast between JecIdore and Whitehead,asid it was rumored that the schooner bad aftewards been cast away. At this point Detective Power was engaged to work up the case and bring the spiky parties to justice. After several visits down the eastern shore in company with Captain Anderson, the detective located some of the flour and arrested one of the crew, who gave the, snap away, telling where the cargo had been landed and who were in the ring. After some searching, Captain Baker was finally arrested and is now in custody, It is said several respectable men on the coast are implicated aucl will be brought to book. Warren Baker, captain of the Seven Brothers, was to.cley before Stipendiary Griffin an a charge of breaking bulk, steal- ing barrels of flour and casting away the veesel. The matter stands over till Satur- day next. How a Woman. tillenild Dress. "Talk about winunin's close," he was bleating discordantly in a know-it-all voice, "of I lied my way I'd heir 'em lookin' sensi- ble, and not all kerflummuxed up with gew- gaws. 1 d jest like to dress 'cm 'cordin' tew my notion." " You wouldn't let them wear trains to their dresses?" suggested one of his audi- tors. "Not mueliee I wouldn't," "No corsets, ell ?" "No sir ; nor stiti.boned waists, eyethcr." "Suppose you tell us just how you would have them rig themselves out." " Suttenly, suttenly. ISI have 'ern wear a broadcloth skirt and a loose jacli et tor comfort. Ain't that all right ?" "Go on." "Short skirts to be tidy-jist cominl to he tops of their shoes." " Yes what kind. of shoes?" " Sofeleat her shoes shaped like a human foot, sir, and flexible like a glove." "Alt right -and their hats?" " Somethin' like a veit or a mantilly, but no gels styles as they wear now, you bet. And I'd hare the hair bangin' down their back in a nice shiny braid.' "There's women that dress like that now," said one of his listeners. "Show one to me and Pll marry her ter - morrow." "I sasv one just the other day and that was her style to a dot." " What was she doin' ?" "Selling baskets and Indian moccasins on the dock. She had a blanket over her head." But the crank who knew how a women should dress had suddenly disappeared. Murders by Australian Natives. The perils of camping out in the interior of Western Australia are strikingly shown in despatches just received from Perth, which report the murders of two whites and the narrow escape of a third man. The victims of the outrage were two brothers named Robert and Thomas Henry, and a comrade named Allen. The men were encamped near the Richenda when they were attack- ed by a perfect. horde of natives. A desper- ate fight ensued. Thomas Henry was killed by a spear, and Allen received such wounds that he died in fearful agony in about three hours. It in assumed that the,spears were poisoned, as poor Allen suffered dieadfully before his death. Robert Henry was also badly wounded, but he nevertheless manag- ed to get a horse and ride off to another camp for assistance. The survivor subse- quently was taken to town and placed in the Derby Hospital, where he remained, at latest accounts, in a serious state. Some troopers, with assistants, were to start off in pursuit of the natives the day after the despatch left, but it was said the country was so rough that it was doubtful if the murderers would be brought to justice. reople's Proper Place.

' Whilst the inhabitants of South and East- ern Russia are starving a large proportion of Eastern Siberia and Turkestan have so much grain that they do not know what to do with it. In the province of Serniretch- insk the peasants have enough grain to last them for ten years, and in the provinces of Yeneseisk, Yakutsk, and the Transbaikal, the price of wheat is one-eighth what it is in the Volga provinces. But as there are no railways, and few or no roads, in these rich portions of the empire this superabun- dant wealth cannot be put to account. AN AMAZING INVENTION. Start Your Trotter and the Malty W111 do the itest. A well.known Santa•Roaa horseman has a scheme for trotting horses which promises to beat the "scoot" traelt all to pieces as an important factor in aiding a hem to ob- tain a fast record. He is planning a sulky that will not. only run itself, but will push the horse along a. bit, too. He says it is to be built on the plan of tbe watch. • It will have big coil springs to drive the wheels, and he contends that ib will revolutionize trotting. Right under the driver's seat the springs will be loeated, and it is his inten- tion to have things eo nieely adjusted that when he wishes to go a 2.10 gait all he will have to do is to set it at 2.10 figure and it will do the rest. When wound up the sulky will run one mile and a half. A very clever feature of the sulky is the self-winding ap- paratus. By shnply touching a little spring near his stirrup the driver can make the wheels wind up the Spring, and, by a hand device, he can throw them out of gear when the indicator tells him that the spring has been wound up to the proper tension. Thug in scoring whatever power is lost can be re- gained. And it is so arranged that the power can be turned on at will by the driver. The gentleman claims everything for this inven- tion. He says it will transform the slowest scrub into it world-beater and make a three. minute horse able to go 2.08i record, The inventor apparently had nothing green in his eyes when lie was talking about his wonderful sulky, but time and developments will tell whether he has been indulging in too many air castles or not. A Buffalo Hunt With Indiana, In the early days, when the game was plenty, buffalo running was exhilarating sport. Given a good horse, the only other requisite to success was the ability to re- main on his back till the end of the chase. No greater degree of skill was needed than this, and yet the quick motion of the horse, the rough ground to be traversed, and the feeling that there was (something ahead that must be overtaken and stopped, made the ride attractive. There was the very slight- est spice of danger, for while no one antici, pated an accident, it Was possible that one's horse might step int() a. badger hole, in which case his rider would get a fall that would make his bones ache. The most exciting, and by far the most interesting, hunts in which I ever took part were those with the Indians of the plains. They were conducted almost noise- lessly, and no ring of rifle shot broke the stillness of the air, nor puff of stnolte rose toward the still, grey autumn sky. The consummate grace and skill of the naked Indians, and the speed and quickness of their splendid bodies, were well displayed in such chases as these. Mare than one in- stance is recorded where au Indian has sent an arrow entirely through the bodies of two buffalo. Sometimes such a hunt was signal- ized by some feat of daring bravado, that save in the seeing, was scarcely credible, as when the Cheyenne Big Ribs rode his horse close up to the side of a huge bull, and, springing on his back, rode the savage beast for some distance, and then with his knife gave it its death -stroke. Or it man might find himself in a position of comical danger, as did " The Trader" who was thrown from his horse onto the horns of a bull without being injured. One of the horns passed under his belt and supportecl him, and at the same thne prevented the huh from tossing him. In this way he was carried for some distance on the animal's head, when the belt gavo way and he fell to the ground unhurt while the bull ran 00. The Sabbath Chime.

'Unto earth's remotest end Glorified, adored, and owned! -[Francis R,idley Haverga]. Soon Discovered Him. At a musketry camp in Scotland a party of recruits were parading for firing. When the officer was inspecting the rank:, he told a corporal to examine the rifles of the rear rank. The corporal did so . and found a man with a very dirty rifle. Ele would listen to no excuse, bet brought the man up before the officer, saying, "Six, this man has his rifie in a filthy condition.' The officer examined the rifle himself, and asked the man if he was not ashatned of himself, and was about to gsve him an extea parade when the man Reid, "1 was in a hurry this morning, sir, and I fetched out the wrong one." " Oh, indeed," saiki the officer. "Find out who owns this rifle, corporal, and fetch him up." Imagine the discomfiture of the corporal when he had to acknowledge that the rifle was his own. A Great Breach of Friendship. Op the death of a celebrated French journalist the following story was related of him : He was once very sick and the visiting physician gave him up as lost. "I cannot do anything forlyen,' he said, "you must Another. doctor was, however, called in, who succeeded in curing him. The first time the convalescent took a stroll he met his first doctor, who greatly surprised said he thought him no more amone the living. "Well, you see," said the patient, "when you left, Dr. V. was called in and he succeeded in building me up again." " Oh ! well 1 well 1 A • man whom I thought my friend !

INDIA Np ARE EZOITED. Are.,trodni to Prevent Dents From Vie. . tortit tandinft—Afrattl of the SmaliPox- 'In the upper Skeane, rivereountry the In- , diaas having just learned of smallpox being, in Victoria and Vancouver have an- nounced their intention to maintain a shot- gun quarantine against all steainers from the South. Always opposed to the white men, they are, with the above excuse, be- coming more independent than ever and some trouble is expected. Mr. W. W. Clark who has arrived from the forks of the upper Skeena at ,Victorle,, iti conversation with a reporter said: "The Indians are becoming very excited over the smallpox rumors, which have reached them from Victoria. Some hours after the news had arrived at Hazelton, the Indians sent a deputation to Me. Field -the Church of England minister for that district -request- ing him to let them have a room in which to hold a great pow wow. He told them their own houses were much better adapted for meetings of that sort. After some dis- cussion they retired and held a council meeting in one of their own rooms and after a very noisy debate they decided to stop the steamer from landing at Hazelton and not to allow any more white men to come up the river. "They say the measels was brought there last year in the sugar barrels belonging to the Hudson Bay Co. and they will not al- low any mail to be lauded there, as they dread the small -box being brought in the letters. " The Indians were walking, about the village armed to the teeth with knives and pistols, when I was at Hazelton, vow- ing vengeance on the White man for bring- ing diseases into their tribe which continual ly decreased their nuinIZere. It is well known to the authorities at Haselton that their imagination must have been excited by a half clerical gentleman, who lives not a hundred miles from the mouth of Bulkley river. Things of this kind havesbeen trac- ed to him. snore than once. None but a white man could have thought of smallpox being communicated by letter. Under the grdee of being a friend to the Indian against the white man, he continually manages to foment trouble without being actually in it. " Mr. Laurier, tbe Indian agent, is working,eaiateci. strenuously to have all the tribe N SEVEN MINERS KILLED, A Fall of Earth Cruebes Them ln the Cagra While Descend 1 mt. A despatch from London, says :-Ten mess employed in a coal pit at Swansea were descending in the cage to their work to -day when part of the pit roof fell in. The men were caught under the falling earth and rock and seven were crushed to death. The other three were rescued, but tbeir arms and legs are broken, their bodies badly mutilated and they have sustaihed internal injuries which will probably cause death. Coming Down the Chimney. Some time ago, a certain vicar was called upon to read a letter for an old women whose son was in Brazil. Farb of the letter ran as follows :-" I cannot tell you, dear mother, how the mis- kitties (meaning mosquitoes) torment me. They never leave me alone, but pursue me everywhere." " To think of that," interrupted the old woman; "my John must be a handsome lad ; but there, I'm interrupting you ; go on, parson." " Indeed, mother," continued the vicar, reading ; "1 close my door and window of an evening to keep them out of my room." "Dear me," exclaimed the old woman ; " whatever is the world corning to ?" "And yet," went on the vicar, "they do not leave me alone ; I believe they come down the chimney to get at me ." " Well, well, parson," continued the old woman, holding up her hands, " to think of that ; how forward of them." "Of whom ?" inquired the vicar. " Why, the Miss Kitties, of course. When I was young, maidens would. have blushed to do such a thing, and come down the chimney, too." After a pause, the mother's pride pre- vailing, she went on, "But John must be rare handsome for the maidens to be after him to that extent, and I reckon the Miss Kitties is quality folk, too." The old woman is anxiously waiting for the next letter. She Was so Thoughtful. A young *park, notorious for his conceit, was boasting in the presence of several gentlemen about the conquests he had gain- ed over the female heart " Look," said he, " here's a handsome present I had from my last inamorata," a.t the same time handing round a beautiful cigar -case. All admired the artiole, which had an indorsement of its quality stamped upon it. "Very nice gift," remarked one of the company. "1 perceive your lady love even had your name put on the case.' " Well, that's queer !" answered the boaster, "1 never noticed it." " Look again," rejoined the candid one, " the case is distinctly marked 'real calf.' " A Prayer for Landlords, A London newspaper says that the prayer for landlords printed below was approved by the ecclesiastigal authorities nearly 350 years ago -in 1550, when Edward VI. was king and. Henry George of San Francisco was some ways off. The landlords of the end of the 191h century are not the first to be charged withusurping the earth: We heartily pray Thee to send Thy Holy Spirit into the hearts of them that possess the grounds, pastures and dwelling places of the earth ; that they remembering them- selves to be Thy tenants, may not rack and stretch out the rents of their houses and lands ; nor yet take unreasonable fines and incomes, after the manner of covetous world, ' lings , but so let them out to others that the inhabitants thereof may be able to pay the rents, and also honestly to live, to nour- ish their family and to relieve the poor. His Honest Advice. A correspondent says he had a unique experience in a restaurant the other day. Not having patronized the establishment before he cautiously "tipped" a waiter be- fore commencing his dinner, and then ask- ed him what he could recommend from the list of dishes figuring on the menu. The waiter pocketed the coin and whispered: "You want my, honest advice, sir?" "Yee certainly. "Well," said the waiter confidentially, "1 should recommend another restaurant.'
