A COOP JoKE.-One of the best officers of
the police force was patroling his beat last
night when he found man partially intoxl-
Gated. The officer spoke to him but received no
answer. AT last the officers decided that it was
necessary to take him to the station house.
The man resisted and the officer tried to reason
with him, but was unable to get single word
in reply. After hard struggle the man was
carried to the station. Upon arrival there it
was found that the man was deaf and dumb,
and supposed all the while the officer was try
ing to kidnap him.

Nor TRUE.-It has been rumored that the
Grand Trunk Company refuse to accept the
terms of the city in regard to the Gait wharf
purchase. Mr. John Porteous, the agent for
the road in this city, says that he thinks that
the rumors has no foundation whatever, as not
a word to that effect has been received from any
of the officials of the road. On the contrary
Mr. Hickson has signifed his intention to visit
this citv Monday or Tuesday of next week to
close the contract with the city.

The announcement of series Of three con-
certs by the Philharmonic Club Of Boston,
created at once marked interest in musical cir
cIes. Apart from the excellence of the artists
concerned, already known to our public the fact
that these concerts were planned by and are
under the direction of Mr.. Kotzschmar is the
guarantee of their musical importance and
genuine worth.
The really high musical standard of Port
land. the readiness of our public to enjoy good
music is in great degree due to the constant,
transformations labors of Mr. Kotzschmar. Dur
ing the years that he has resided in this city he
has contributed more than any other individ-
ual to its musical culture He has taught his
pupils to appreciate good music, and has I'M

ISOLATION shows his power as musical director
and his finished, original and expressive piano.
forte playing and his excellent composition
prove him to be eminent as practical and
theoretical musician. These concerts, then, ar
ranged by him, merit and have received, cordial
support
The programmes include representative MEM
bers from various schools of music, and are
made up with view to variety and contrast
the only subject for regret, and for future inn
provement being the non-appearance OF Mr..
Kotzschmar himself, who,we had hoT ed, would
have given some selections for pianoforte
The performers are all competent soloists, as
we'll as ensemble players. Mr.. Bernhard Lis
temann was for some time leading vocalist in
Theodore Thomas orchestra. The other play
ers are, each in his own line, distinguished ;and
Miss Bryant will be welcomed by the many
who enjoyed her fine singing on the occasion OF

IMPORTANT TO INsURERs.-The entire COM
muuity are interested in anything pertaining to
the integrity of, and the successful administra-
ton of Fire insurance Companies. The great
fires in Chicago and Boston taught a lesson OF
great Importance to policy-hOders which should
not be forgotten, relative to security in ire IN
surance.
The Continental Insurance Company OF Neao
York has recently accep ed and incorporated
into their policies and renewals the provisions
of a law Of the state of New York, passed III
AnriI last, to provide against extraordinary
confiagrations and for the creation OF safety
fund. by which the stockholders can receive
only seven per cent. upon its capital and let
earnings, until such earnings are at least eq9al
in amount to the capital; this is set apart I9 f
tbe greater protection of the insured; one nait
of these earnings, in addition to the capitai, IS
thereby made available without delay Tor the
nayment of loss by any great connagratlon'
while the other half is held by the law sacred
10 the protection of policy holders not involved
in such conAagration, and is to be USED as
basis for the formation of new capltal, shoulu
the extent of the Losses be such as 10 require

This additional safeguard, so fayoraD'e 10 the

GROSS OUTRAGEONTHEP PUBLIC!

The North Pacific which carries
the mails, and which usually leaves
Victoria at 10 o'clock, arriving
here about l P. NJ, came yesterday
morning at Z o'clock, thereby pre-
venting our business men from
sending their letters until next
week. Complaints have often been
made against Capt. Starr in regard
to the running of his steamer, and
this outrage adds another to the
long list of his delinquencies. If
Capt Starr is to run a schedule
time to suit himself why cannot he
inform the public. He did inform
our Postmaster it seems, who had
his mails ready for the unusual
hour, but did not think the public
ofsuficient importance to put up
notice Of the change of time which
was done simply because the Fa-
vorite started an opposition. If
Capt. Starr can control the Post
masters, and run his boat as he
pIeases, it is about time the public
took cognizanee of the matter.

A LEYIATHAN AMONG CANoEs.-As
the Great Eastern steamship Is amongst
steamships, so Is the Indian canoe now
being prepared for the Centennial Ex-
hibition at the Indian Reserve among
canOes. 1t is the largest canoe, prOba-
bly, ever constructed. 1t dimensions
are, 60 feet in length, eight feet In
breadth and four feet in height. 1t was
built by order Of Moquillah, chief Of
the NoOtka Indians, on the west coast
of Vancouver Island several years ago,
and was afterwards sold to the Nimp-
kish tribe on the east coast ofthe Island.
j. G. Swan, Esq, Centennial Commits
sioner for the United States, heard Of
the big canoe, when at Alert Bay some
weeks since gathering specimens, and
bought it. The canoe was delivered at
Victoria and the bows and stern are
now being Ornamented with heraldlc
devices by Indian artisans. Some Of
these devices represent bears, eagles.
whales and large fish that is a deadly
foe OF whales; other deYiees represent
a fabulous animal that Is supposed to
pursue and devour Siwashes. The
leviathan will hold 100 adults easily,
and 20 people might sleep In her hold
without reasonable cause OF complaint
for want Of room. 10 gam the lnte-
rior of the canoe a ladder has to be
placed against her side but nothing
that we can write win convey an ade-
quate immensity Of this enormous spec
linen of Indian ship-bullding. An
should see the canoe before 1t Is ship
ped for its destination at Philadelphia.
1t IS to be regretted that this canoe
will not figure at the Exhibition In the
British Columbia department.; although
we learn from the Commissioner that
it will be credited to this Provinee.-
British Colonist.
We are Informed by Judge Swan
that It Is his purpose to ship her by the
City Of Panama on her next trip up to
Victoria. Should he do this she will
be.taken on board that steamship be-
fore leaving for the Sound. 50 that
during her stop here our citizens will
have an opportunity OF seeing her. In
addition 70 this huge specimen OF IndI-
an naval architecture the Judge has
recently been in receipt OF some rare
articles Of jewelry, the workmanship
of Indians, consisting Of two pairs OF
gold bracelets, one made OF coin, gold
and the other from Cassiargold dug on
the spot four silver napkin rings and
one pair silver bracelets. All Of these
articles are embellished with India n
designs, and were made at Casslar by q
Hydah Indian.

Medical Association Tor member
thereof, during recess induced
some Of the subordinate officers Of
each House to lay on the table of
each member pamphlet recently
published by them, criticising the
official action of the Governor in
the matter of the Insane Asylum.
The Governors friends were in
dignant at the Association for
selecting this occasion to distrib-
ute their documents, and they
have probably injured their cause
somewhat thereby.
The two Houses are now in
good working order. The best of
harmony seems to prevail, and
everything bids fair to make this a
session for the accomplishment of
much needed legislation.
The members of both Houses
seem to be earnest and reliable men
and considerably above the aver
age of former sessions in ability.
Most of the River members in
tend making a tour of the Sound
before returning home, and you
will then have an opportunity of
welcoming them to your town.

September he absconded in his
own steamer with female, leav.
ing his family and host of cred
itors behind. Certificates of in
debteGness amounting to 100000
have been hypothecated in San
Francisco.
A correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe at La Cruize, in New
Mexico, says a tremendous water
spout suddenly appeared on the
hills about a mile back of town.
The dark column of water and
dust approached with such veloc-
ity that not FIVE minutes from the
time of observation, and before
ten dollars worth of property
could be saved, sixty-thFee houses
were hurled to the ground, the
streets were covered four or five
feet with water, and the current
was of such force that boulders Of
large size were carried away.
Two hours later the rain fell in
torrents, lasting several hours;
strange to say not a single life
was lost. Monday, at 4 o'clock,
another waterspout came in with
equal velocity. Sixteen houses,
fortunate enough to escape the
previous visitor, were tumbled
down and their contents totally
destroyed. The loss will foot up
s150,0O0.
