not only an offence to the public, but to

we take it to mean this, that by the bless

One CASE WHERE FARMING PAID.-An
Englishnan who came to this country
in 1855 las gone back to his old home
and his story is thought worthy of being
| told in The London 1fJricu.t,u'l Gasette:
There is nothing especially remarkable
about tit is simply one of many cases
where competency has followed steady
work on farm. Briefly it is this, as
we find it epitomized in The Ueste'n
Farmer: Charles Butcher, unable to
read Or write, accompanied by grown
up son and daughter, arrived in New
York in May, 1855. The father and son
found work on farm in Monroe County,
n. Y, at $16 per month eacb-the
daughter finding work in family. and
not again appearing in the story. They
were so poor that when harvest came
they had not money enough to pay for
the mittens needed as protection
against the thistles. They worked on,
accumulating between $500 and 5000 iii
three years. They then bought farm
of Ga acres for $50 an acre, paying $500
in cash. The farm was in bad condition,
subject to overflow and the ravages of
the wire worm. The skillful applica.
ton of labor stopped tue overflow, and
good cultivation was given. The son
married. In five years the farm was
paid for and fairly stocked. After a
year or two q better farm of 140 acres
was purchased at S95 per acre, the old
one being sold for $35 per acre. This
is paid for, and the whole property is
valued at something over 81, goo. The
father, at the age of 5S, has sold his in
terest to the son for SO, 900, payable in
II years, with Z per cent interest, and
feels himself entitled to the rest and
pleasures of visit to his native coun-
try and old friends.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The Capital
newspaper yesterday contained an arti-
Gle based on one from the New York
Sun, rejecting on Judge Louis Dent and
General Dent in the matter of the APP
pointment by the President Of William
J. Farrona as Consul at Caliao and J.
H. Wethey as Commissioner to settle
the claims of the citizens Of the United
States against Peru, charging that GER
tain moneys were paid the Dents for
their influence This morning Judge
Dent visited the Capitol Office, and after
inquiry for Henry Reed. one of the e,li-
tors, WAS directed to his room up stairs.
Calling kreed's attention to the article,
he asked who was the author, when
Reed replied that he WAS responsible for
it, whereupon Dent pronounced it false.
and called upon Reed to defend himself.
Then raising his walking stick he struck
Reed several times over the head, break
ing his cane, Reed got to his feet, and Il
struggle ensued, which ended by some
attaches of the paper rushing in and
separating the combatants. The police
took them into custody. and charged
Dent with assault and battery. The
hearing of the case is postponed until
tomorrow. Reed claims that the as
sault was made without other warming
than the question asked.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN We find in
the last issue Of the Vancouver Register,
thc paper lately edited by Mr.. Struv-,
now of the Courier, the following mys-
terious paragraph:
The Democrats of this County pro-
pose 10 hold County Convention in
this city on the 2ls.. inst. to nominate
county officers. 1t is suggested tat
primary meetings for Delegates to the
Vancouver Convention be held on the
l4th inst. The halt,na Beacon Informs
us that there is II strong disposition
among the outside precincts to repu-
diate mt their next convention the bar
gain entered into last spring between
Strive and clique of the Democracy
in Vancouver. by which they pledged
him that the Democr; tic convention
should omit to nominate Il candidate for
council, and that Strives name should
be printed on their ticktt-he agreeing
to carry into effect a bargain we ventil-
ated week or two ago. We intend to
inquire into this matter and inform our
readers next week.
Will Mr.. Strive dispose of this mat
ter by calling his successor ga drunken
scrub" as he did the charges of his
kalama party cotemporary ? Or viii
he be silent under the imputation Of
making secret bargains with Democrats
to serve them in Office for personal
consideration All these indications are
to the effect that the Olympia ring have
not mistaken their man if they can sue
ceed in holding him to the principle Of
