"Lady, why should I hesitate to speak frankly. I am a soldier and a gentle- man, and if I come to your father's house, it will be to beg your hand in marriage. I would not, however, put so delicate a question to your excel- lent parent without some word to en- courage me. Our acquaintance has been short, lady, but on ,board ship days are weeks, and weeks months." Receiving no reply, the Ironside poured forth in his own eloquent and energetic manner all his feelings ; and at last, after nearly two hours of un- ceasing persuasion, obtained an avow- al that, provided he could win her fa- ther's consent, he might put faith in her generosity. He could not expect more, he had not dared -nope so much. The joy of the soldier was grave and earnest; he thanked. Eleanor was the serious and solemn tone of a man who unfeignedly felt that he had taken the most decisive step in life, and who fully appreciate the genuine value of such. a prize as a woman's heart. The con- versation of the happy couple became more confidential after this, and it was nearly midnight when the young lady kissed her father's forehead and went to bed. CHAPTER III. Mr' Jamas Bowen slept in a large and handsome cabin, of which one side was occupied by the captain. It was little apart from the sleeping -room of thenearest to theother passengers, .rstranger it bean those occupied by the s rang• and Mr. Henry Fastens. The captain went on deck at midnight, and all the passengers went to their rooms, and dead silence soon prevailed below. The principal cabin, round which were the state -rooms of the tarty, was illum- ined by a dull lamp, which cast a fitful and imperfect light around as it swung from the roof. Naught was heard save the creaking of the ship's timbers, as the vessel pitched and roll- ed in the tossing sea. under a light breeze. Now and then the heavy breathing of some sleeper might be heard for a moment, but then all re- laxed into deep tranquility and repose. An hour passed after all bad retired to rest, and then the door of one of opened softly,a state -rooms was the en P head protruded,two eyes glared wild- ly, ten a dark form camforth, and a main might have been seen steal- thily stepping along the floor in the direction of the captain's cabin. draught administered by the ship doc- tor, and presently, after a wild burst of tearsshe sleet. At the breakfast table that morn- ing men looked suspiciously and uneasi- ly at each other; but eyes were espec- ially fixed on the young baronet and the murdered man's nephew. Both were singularly agitated, and suspicion, that most fleet of human reflections. was busily at work. Some suspected one, some the other, and yet no man snake his thoughts. All ate in silence. They heard the faint sounds of the carpenter's hammer preparing the cof- fin for the man who had the day be- fore dined heartily and happily with them, and they shuddered. The void was doubly felt in the circumscribed world of a ship. The captain sat at the head of his table helping his guests mechanically. An acute observer might have noticed that after awhile he be- came restless kind uneasy, while his eye stealthily sought the countenance of the Ironside officer. Captain Mont- rose evidently suspected Sir Reginald. His love for Eleanor, the father's pre- ference for Henry Postans, the inde- pendent position in which the young lady was now placed. were all argu- ments of irresistible force to his mind. co absent was he, that the mulatto steward, Jose, a servant of Sir Regin- ald's. had all the labor of attending to the ,passengers' wants. Like his race in general, he performed his duty with alacrity end ability, and the breakfast passed off. "Josh." suddenly said Sir Reginald, rising. "come here into the captain's cabin."

He took care, however, to turn his back on the body. "Josh," said the officer, "I know who murdered this poor man, and so do you." "I Massa Reginald!" cried the mu- Iatto with a start of most unfeigned astonishment,while his eyes rolledun- easily in thir sockets: "I s'pose who say I did it flex."

He reached the sharpie and hit her a terrible thump which up- set him, but almost at the same in- stant he had resumed his oars and with a yell of terror tried to pull the boat through the vessel. He was real- ly so scared that he was out of :his mind, for every time he pumped into the vessel he would yell with tall his might and renew his exertions with greater vigor. "The fish, apparently discouraged had disappeared, and d as soon as we re- covered from our astonishment at his frantic behavior we pulled alongside the vessel and, fastening our boat, waited for him to hit the sharpie again, and as be did nso we seized him and, in spite of his efforts to escape drew him on board, where he fainted. We ex- hausted our remaining stook of liquids in bringing him into something likes a state of sanity." " NUMBER THIRTY-EIGHT." ,GlICULTUIIE NOT GOLD FARMS AND HERDS MAKE THE WEALTH OF THIS COUNTRY.

Mrs, Mater -I wonder what Snakes He always thatafraid of me 9 H dogsoy acts as if he thought I was going to half kill him. Little Daughter—I dess he's seen you 'punkin' nese. ly high for free milling quartz, and e same ti a e sou no un- derstand about Nova Scotia was that all theta years nothing had been done to undertake deep mining. He believed the deepest mine to -day was seven hundred feet. The conditions of Nova Scotia and Victoria, Australia, were analogous; and he had recommended deep mining for the latter province with results which justified his views. Moreover, the takes and lagoons of NovaScotia corresponded to the allu- vial tracts in Victoria, which had been made profitable. There was something wrong somewhere. that the opportun- ities in Nova Scotia had not been used to the full. In Ontario, the first re- cords began about 1866. The first mine was the "Richardson." Work had been going on with more or less steadi- ness all these years, with one result, among others, that a diminution was constantly shown. This was the same in every country in the world. Dr. Selwyn described a visit he paid to several mines in the Province of Ontario twenty years ago. In each' case there were splendid quartz obtain- ed; bat he felt convinced they would not last, and said so. The result jus- tified his opinion. These mines of twenty years ago had been closed. There was, of course, the question of labor saving machinery to be consid- ered in the working of the mines of to - (lay ; but he did not think thirty years hence the output would be found, with every modern appliance, 'to justify the illusions which were cherished in some quarters to -day. As be had said, Canada was an agri- cultural-and gri- c ltu al -a d pastoral country. She was rich in minerals. This was an undoubt- ed fact. But the value of gold, say. in a country, litre Canada, which needed population to work her lands, was that it attracted such a class of people as might, through that immediate ambi- tion be led to become the permanent population of the country, developing' her natural resources. Or British Columbia, Dr. Selwyn had hopeful things to say, but he submit- ted the test of figures, and these show- ed a constant diminution in the gold product. For instance, while for the quinquen- nial period of 1851-1855, the output had been 11,218,772 ounces, that from 1886 to 1890 has been only 3,111,373 ounces. It might be objected to that this was. inflammatory and unfair. It was nei- ther. He desired the utmost success for those who were engaged in the gold mining business; but the truth• had beet be expressed in the interests of the whole country. Comparisons had it an educational value. He had offered some with the hope that they might set people thinking. ' He had no per- sonal object to serve. He wished sm- ply to estroy illusions whichcould only lead to disappointment. Dr. Gilpin, Deputy Commissioner of Mines ofp Nova Scotia, said he was obliged to endorse what Dr. Selwyn had said touching gold mining in his province. Certain results had been ob- tained year by year for the last thirty years by surface working. It seemed that the fancywas for rich veins which yielded . immediate results, and which could be dropped without trouble. These veins could always be discovered. Now, however,ywith byette r equipment and machinry. they were going in more for low grade ores, which conic' be workeda profit. for Dr. Selwyn's paper is really taken out of its order, butsoin- terested u d manyare n terested in• knowing the facts as to. the Possibilities of the mining situation in Canada, that it may thus pardonably be emphasized. TO GIVE LIFE TO THE DEAD. Instruments Recently Patented for Which Strange Claims Are Made. Doubtless the most interesting of new inventions are several instruments for rewinding the delicate machinery of life after it burnt' down, or, more lit- erally speaking, for bringing the dead back to life. Heretofore suchmechan- isms have existed only in fiction or in the visions of those who have craved for earthly life eternal. A French physician has patented such a device. It is to he applied for the purpose of breathing renewed life into bodies which are lifeless or apparently lifeless. To use the words of the in- ventor, It is an aero -therapeutical apparatus. A vessel into which water is poured is surrounded by an air cham- ber, and has fixed. in it an apright tube surmounted by a globe. In the cen- ter of the tube is a vacuum gauge. When the proper valve is turned, wafer in the upright tube moves upward and downward, producing alternate inhala- tions and exhalations in another tube leading to the free air. By suitable mouth or nasal pieces the latter tube is to be attached to the bodyof thesubject. The instrument being tat- tached and put into operation. the lungs will be filled with air and emptied at alternate intervals, corresponding in regularity with the natural expansion and contraction of the chest in nor- mal breathing. Thus the blood may be supplied with its necessary oxygen, and unless decomposition has set in life may be kindled anew. Still another invention of this class is that of an air -tight chamber, suitable in size for the accommodation of a man's body. It is connected with an air rarefier and compressor, the con- trolling mechanism of which is worked ft - and crank. It by•a rotary she n is claimed that the subject inside may be made to breathe when the interior at- mosphere is alternately rarefied and compressed, his lungs, as well as the chamber itself, being filled and then emptied, as the valves are kept work- ing. ork- ing- Still another such invention is a bel- lows and tube, the latter to be con- nected with the mouth and nostrils. The tube, before reaching the subject, passes through a+ small stove, which heats theairto the proper tempera- ture. An odd apparatus, which may be in- cluded 'in this category, is a sort of corset, • kv.hich, while , encircling the chest, may made to automatic all y free the muscles andlet.re of compress cess the thorax which' control respiration. as:y to Take asy to Operate p Are features peculiar to Hood's Pills.
