The Sulzberger tragedy is a subject of

husbands frequent upbraidings and irrat-
ing inuendoes rejecting upon her coniu-

out and hanged her child, and then her.

frugal farmers, the husband indulging
only atrare intervals in the Intoxicating
cup. Until this sad affair, nothing was
ever heard Of domestic infelicity.

proclaimed a rebel, made an attack with
some l4OO troops upon party of Hurta-
distas in Amaeme Cauca Valley and met
with complete defeat The dead are es-
timated at from $50 to 500. Cali was taken

at the commencement of the fight, Rear
Admiral Rodgers, of the Pensacola, was
putting off from the shore to his ship
with his family, when shot from Chill
ian boat carried away his ensign. On his
arrival on board the Pensacola, he signaled
the Chilian flag ship, informing them

The Times says: The dominion govern |
ment, after devising tariff that operates
more injuriously upon British than upon |
American industry and trade, actually |
confesses that unless British taxpayers |
come to its relief the construction Of the |
Pacific Railway must be postponed indefi- |
nitely, as the resolutions embody propo- |
sition to set aside one hundred million |
acres of the public domain, with pro-
viso that So shall be their minimum price, |
A reasonable inference is that the aid to |
be solicited from the British government |
will, in the first instance. not fall far short |
of $SOO0O,00O. The Times thinks that |
John Bull, in his present mood with Can
ada's new tariff in view, will say no. TIE |
introduction of imperial ideas and plans |
into the dominion created an ambition to |
whose demands its resources are unequal. |
The inter-coionial railway is one of the |
costly results of imperial interference,
the admission of British Columbia an
ence the Pacific Railroad project would |
not have been dreamed of. It is at once
a result OF imperial influence and effort to
consolidate imperial power on this conti-
nent.

among the citizens after the Alaska left |
for Victoria, April 2Osh. The Indians
were quiet while she and other vessels
were in port; but the citizens still believe
their intentions hostile. Captain Brown

questioned the collector and others when |

zens attributed some hostile purposes.
