The mail yesterday brought ,,s a
pamphlet Of some fifty pages, all the
way from Victoria, capital Of the Ter
ritory of British Columbia. It pur-
ports to have been written TO vindi
cate the country and colony from rash
and prcjudiced aspcrsion, and to show
why so much disappointment and suf.
tering were experienced by those who
went to the Frazer River in search Of
gold. 1t asserts as the first cause of
disappointment the rush from CalifDr-
MIA ola great number Of miners at a
season Of the year (last June) when
the river is always full by melting of

taken four or five months earlier, when
the river is low and its numerous bars
exposed, it is suggested that fair de.

ed to the selection Of ports of supply
on Puget Sound, as Port Townsend
and Watcon, too distant by land trav.
Ell from the actual mining spots; but
now that victoria, on Vancouver ISL
and, with good harbor, has been
used, the supplies are forwarded with
comparative ease. The writer of the
pamphlets is no friend Of the Hudson
Bay company, and only moderately so
with the Governor, yet he asserts that
law and order reign. More than for
any other purpose it is his design to
vindicate the country from being bad

UThe Paris papers tell a funny
story of a well-known diplomatist,
prince, leader Of fashion, ETC., who
gave a magnificent dinner party to
some of the most distinguished peo-
pie in the French capital. The table
presented an elegant appearance, load
ed with flowers and rich plate--the
latter so massive and abundant that
it excited general remark. After the
event, the maitre d. hotel, the Princes
head bottle-washcr, was very much
distressed at the mysterious loss Of one
of the heaviest pieces of the service
"a massive gold tureen, or something
of the kind. He started the police
in search Of the article, and then, in
fear and trembling, communicated the
sad news TO his master. His High
ness heard OF tho loss with remarkable
composure, but upon ascertaining the
efforts made for recovery, got into
terrible passion. 1t was Of no use,
however-the passion; for the descrip-
tion was published, the police were
alert, the public curious and the thief
honestl He returned the plate, some
what damaged, but still serviceable to
its owner, and it got noised abont that
it was not worth keeping--in short,
what seemed gold, was only thinly
plated, very common articlel People

The second was compounded, and the
Judge was just adjusting his tube for
a cooling draught, when Sam stepped
up and taking up his glass, requested
the bar tender to take his pay for both
