Our opposition friends throughout
the state, base their hopes OF the
permanency of the Republican organi.
cation on the honesty and economy of
the coming Legislature. Judging
from their past record and the present
movements ofthe ring and 'roostcrs,
we are afraid they are building their
'hopes' on rather sandy foundation.

SIEE-The undersigned, a committee appointed NJ
a meeting Of Your Naiesty's subjects held in this
city, on the evening Of Saturday, December the
twenty-sixth, in obedience % the instructions Of the
said meeting, beg respectfully TO represent 10 Your
Majesty a. follows:
That the above meeting was called 10 take into
consideration the recent action Il the Board Of Health,
In permitting the entry into this port Ot the steamer
Illh0, ON Monday last, the Dist inst, with au I'M
doubted case Of SMALLPOX On board, the same having
been previously male known by the Port Physician
70 the members II the aforesaid Board.
That subsequently TO the entry into this port rs
aforesaid, the steamer was allowed TO come alongside
the wharf, discharge hcr mails and cargo, and 10
disemhark her cabin passengers; and that the crew
Of the said steamer were also known 70 have been on
shore, on the evening Of the 24th inst, and To have
been afterwards arrested and confined III the station
house, the said coming on shore Of the crew being
one Of the results Of the permission Of said vessel To
enter this ports; the individual afflicted with the
smallpox also being permitted TO remain on board
for forty-eight hours before being removed from SAID
vessel.
In the opinion Of the meeting which this commit
tee now represents, the above proceedings on the
part Of the Board Of Health were calculated seri-
0usly 70 enda niger the health Of Your Majesty sub
jects, rs well as to injurc the reputation Of this port
III the commercial marts Of other countries with
which this country has business relations.
Ia view Of the deplOrable mortality produced by
this self ans disease, in Your Kingdom, in the
memorable year Of 1898, the meeting were OF the
unanimous opinion that the action and doings OF the
aforesaid Board Of Health in the premises, were con-
trary 20 their duties under the laws, and utterly in
conflict with their high duty as conservators and
guardians of the health and safety of Your Majesty's
liege and loyal subjects;
Therefore, the above-named meeting did instruct
the undersigned, their committee, Your Majesty's
humble petitioners, respectfully to petition Your
Majesty, that Your Majesty might be disposed, in
Your most Gracious Pleasure, to remove from Office
as members of the aforesaid Board of Health, the
present members now composing it; and Your petit
TONERS do in accordance with their instructions re-
ccived, now most respectfully petition YOur Majesty
for their removal, [Signedl r. G. DAVIS,

I'll Mountain Railroad.

1t is not much of joke to cross Alpine
Mount Gents on the new railway. The
route embraces fifty miles. Sometimes the
trains get showed up, and the passengers
remain several days without food, fuel, 81
any accommodations necessary to comtorta-
BILE existence. Avalanches of snow fall
upon the track. The cold is often so in
tense that blood from the horses noses
freezes as it falls. The experience of par
ty of travellers on this road few weeks ago
is thrilling. Fhey went back often more
than forward; went through snow drifts
from six feet to ten feet high; got out OF
water; banged up one locomotive; stop
ped once in every mile at least, and had no
fire and no food through a long ride OF
fourteen hours. Within twenty miles of
Susa the train came to final standstill.
That distance had to be travelled in sledges.
Such sledges and such drivers no civilized
man ever forcsaw Besides the prospect of
being toppied over q peak of the Alps,
down some hundreds of feet into the ravine
below they often stuck fast in the drifts.
The bowling winds fercely blew the snow
against their sledges, and more than once
they had the prospect of passing the night
under the shadow of an avalanche. There
don't seem to be any method of overcom-
ing the snow. Every other difficulty eau
be obviated but the snow.

Seized By O. LiO7G.

DIR. livingstone, the African traveller
gives the following account of being seized
by lion, and of his sensations:
Starting up and looking half around. I
saw the lion in the act of springing upon
me. twas upon little height he caught
my shoulder as he sprang, and we both
came to the ground below together
Growing horribly close to my ear, he shook
nae as a terrier does rat The shock pro-
duced stupor similar to that which seems
to be felt by mouse after the first shake
OF the cat. 1t caused sort of dreaminess,
In which there was no sense of pain nor
feeling Of terror, though quite conscious of
all that was happening. 1t was like pa
tlents partially under the influence Of
chloroform describe, who see all the oper-
atoms, but feel not the knife This sin
gular condition was not the result of any
mental process. The shake annihilated
tear,and allowed no sense ofhorror in look
ing around at the beast This peculiar
state is probably induced in all animals
killed by the caraicora, and if SO, is r,er-
ciful provision by our benevolent Creator
for lessening the pain of death. Turn
ing round to relieve myself of the weight,
as he had one paw on the back of my
head, saw his eyes directed to Mebalwe,
who was trying to shoot him. His gun
missed fire, and the lion Immediately left

eyer. OF. THEE."-A sad story is con-
nected with the name of tho writer, of the
beautiful song "Eter of Thee" which has
been sung and admired by so many in this
country and Europe
Foley Hall was gentleman by birth
and educations Wealthy in his own right,
with large expectations, he led needless
li&-not choosing his associates, but al
lowing himself to be drawn into the socie.
ty of the vicious. His property soon dis
appeared, and he was lett without resour-
ces sufficient to buy his daily bread. His
musical talents had been nightly cultivated,
but as he never needed them, he scarcely
knew to what degree they ceuldsbe- avail
able. In his distress, however, lie wrote
his charming song, "Ever of Thee"
A London publisher gave him one hun
dred dollars for it !; but that amount, with
such spendthrift, would not last long.
He wrote other songs, but the money not
coming as fast as he wished, in a weak
moment he forged the name of his pub
Usher, and although every effort was made
(even by the publisher) to save him, it was
all of no use, and poor Foley Hall went to
Newgate, and died broken hearted before
his trial came on.-Erch.

CBIeTN OF SANDwIcHEs.-To the mem
DRY of Lord Sandwich belongs the name
of that edible. 1t was his habit to fire.
qutnt gambling tables, and in the fascina-
ton ofplay he would sometimes go for
twenty four hours without food, when sud-
denly feeling his hunger, he would call for
anything that was to be had to eat. Once
he was handed slice of beef and two
pieces of bread. Placing them together
Cor the sake of expedition, he devoured
them with the greatest relish. His friends
published his discovery, giving it his name
and it has descended to us, not one of the
least important acts ofhis administration.
Many u time on railway journey, or pic
mic, do we unwittingly eat the health OF
Lord Sandwich.

spun" curiously inspecting the locomotive
and occasionally giving vent to expressions
of establishment Finally one of them
looked up at me and said:
