NEW GovERNoR.-The recently ap-
pointed Governor of British Columbus
is thus spoken of by the COlOnist: The
appointment of the Hon Clement
Francis Cornwall, B A, to the position
Of Lieutenant Governor of this Province
will, we think. afford widespread salts
faotion. Mr. CORVALLIS residence in
the Province dates from early in 1862.
He settled shortly after his arrival at
Ashcroft. on Thompson river, and with
his brother, Mr. Henry Cornwall, has
since engaged largely in farming and
stock raising, the enterprise being
attended with considerable success
Before confederation Mr. Cornwall was
9 member of the Legislative council of
British Columbia. Since confederation
he has represented the Province in the
Senate. He leaves a most creditable
record in that body. Mr. Cornwall is
popular and we feel confident that he
will discharge the duties that pertain
to his high position faithfully and well.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily dietr
About one-third the weight of an egg
is solid nutriment. This is more than
can be said of meat. There are no
bones, no tough pieces, that have 10 be
laid aside. A good egg is made up of
ten parts shell. sixty parts white and
thirty parts yolk. The white of an
egg contains sixty-six per cent. water.
thu yolk fifty two psr cent. Practical
~ an egg is animal food. and yet there
is none Of the disagreesble work of the
butcher necessary 10 obtain it. The
vegetsrisns OF England use eggs freely,
and many Of these men are eighty and
ninety years old and have been remark
ably free from illness. Eggs are best
when cooked four minutes This
takes awsy the animal taste that is so
offensive 10 some. but does not harden
the white or yolk so as to make them
bard to digest. An egg if cooked very
hard is difficult of digestion except by
those OF very stout stonschs; such eggs
should be eaten with bread and masti-
Gated very finely. An egg spread on
toast is food fit for king. if kings de-
serve any better food than anybody else,
which is doubtful. Fried eggs are less
wholesome than boiled ones. An egg
dropped into hot water is not only q
clean and handsome, but a delicious
morsel. Most people spoil the taste of
their egg by adding salt and pepper.
A little sweet butter is the best dress
ing. Eggs contain much phosphorus,
which is supposed to be useful to those
who nse their brains much.

MISTAKEN SENATORS.

Roscoe Conkling il not the first Sen
ator. nor the only one. 10 make . seri
ous political blunder. Daniel Webster.
the greatest Of ell American Senators.
was responsible for several.
The last time Henry Clay was the
candidate OF the old Wing party for
President, Daniel Webster was strongly
sverse TO the nomination. and in diff
fsrent ways made his aversion felt.
When invited 10 address the Young
Mems Clay Club in Boston be sneered
at the unmeaningness and sbsurdity OF
its name. The committee appointed TO
tender him the invitation reported the
fact TO the club, and the indignation
of the Wings toward Mr. Webster soon
became 20 intense that he thought it
expedient to revise his opinion of the
name Of the club. which he ultimately,
with great good nature, pronounced
not only appropriate, bat the most APP
propriate that could have been Sc
lected.
At subsequent election Gen Taylor
became the Wing candidate, and Mr..
webster's opposition was still more
outspoken. In public speech he pro-
nounced 1t nomination mot fit to be
made" Still he gave in his adhesion,
and zealously supported the ticket.
There was good story ct the time
to the effect that Mr. Webster sent Gen
Tsylor 9 copy Of his first speech. to
which no answer was received during
the campaign. After the election Gen
Taylor wrote him an extremely cordial
and complimentary letter. beginning
something like this:
MY DEAR SrE I received, some
time ago, from your hand. copy of .
speech you had Just delivered. In which
you pronounced the opinion that my
nomination was O nomination not fit to
be made. I fully eoncurred In that
opinion. You only gave expression
to tho sentiment which I myself enter
tanned. But, by the result Of the elee-
tion. 1t appears that majority Of the
people differ with ne both on the sub
jsct, and ss their choice has imposed
upon me the duty Of selecting Cabi-
net, cordially invite you TO accept
the Department Of State.

more in subjugation, and were more
quickly healed. at least specifically.

letters contained the most ardent pro-

The condition of President Garfield

The condition of President Garfield
has not improved during the past
week, he still being very weak, and
apparently without hope of living
much longer. There are manifold
reasons for his exhausted condition,
which we can see in the fact that dur
ing As days the doctors gave him over
800 grains of quinine and 400 grains of
opium. The opinion is rapidly be-
coming prevalent that the distin-
guished patient would have long since
been on his feet but for the distin-
guished treatment by his distin-
guished surgeons; as it is there is but
little hope for him to recover.

An eastern exchange says that the
temperance laws in Kansas are not
stopping the use of whiskey, as shown
by the statistics of the internal reve-
nue., but they are keeping the people
in very bitter and profitless quarrel.
Temperance men have formed a league
to boycott those cities where the pro-
hibitory laws are not enforced, and
there will be retaliatory measures.
We can imagine of nothing more alb
surd than the refusal of any class of peo-
pie to trade in a city because some of
its residents do not entertain their
peculiar ideas of public policy. The
mis-directed zeal of reformers cause
tenfold more harm than good, for
nothing but evil can come from such
bitter fights as they are having where
they are attempting to prevent by law
the use of spirituous liquors.

Gently come to light that some seven
teen Nez Perces We're massacred by the
Sioux, under Sitting Bull, in the north,
a month or six weeks ago. 1t will be
remembered that after the surrender
of the Nez Perces to Gen. Miles at the
Bear Paw mountains in 1877, that a
fragment of the band escaped, fled
across the boundary line, and associ-
ated themselves with Sitting Bulbs
band. These massacred Nez Perces
were the remnant of these fugitives,
many of them having drifted away
from the Sioux. The cause of the
massacre, so far as we are able to as
certain, was some quarrel that broke
out in the lodges. The Nez Perces
were killed to q man."

effect that all eighty-acre homestead
claimants whose entries are uncan-

udice, so that they can make new en-
tries of one hundred and sixty acres

mountain nearly as high as the loftiest peak
in Europe, as a prominent feature of the fine
landscape which it crowns precisely as Mt.
Hood crowns the landscape at Vancouver.
These are couple of the splendid views to
be obtained on this favored coast-too va
ried and too beautiful to be properly de.
scribed, save by the brush of the artist.
Words are almost powerless to convey the
impressions made by fine landscape, as
they are to convey to the sonl the grand har-
monies of music; the one must be SEEM the
other must be heard to be fully appreciated;
great as language is, its sphere is limited;
words lack color, light and shade, as we'll as
the harmony of sound; they can describe
lovely views, but they cannot paint them.
From Mt. Baker to Mt. Jefferson, dis
lance of nearly 800 miles, many beautiful
landscapes are worthily framed and crowned
by the majestic peaks of lofty white-browed
mountains glitterng above the blue of their
distant foothills or the dark green of the
nearer cedars and tall frs. Baker, the Three
Sisters, Rainier, Adams, Hood, Jefferson,
and others still further south, seem like so
many monarchs, each proudly domineering
over its own particular district. Indeed,
from q point near the mouth of the William.
cite, the four last named can be seen from
the boat at one view. Where can Europe
beat this?
Formerly the United States had military
post at Steilacoom, which is described by
those who have seen it as being q very lovely
spot Having become useless for military
purposes, it was vacated as a fort and do
mated to Washington Territory, by which it
was converted into an insane asylum. Be-
ing situated some distance from the village
it is a favorite resort for drive; the inter-
vening space is very fine and affords pictur-
esque views. Steilacoom, aside from the
above, is principally remarkable Tor an ex-
tensive brewery, said to produce the best
beer on the Sound. Having tasted it. am
prepared to pronounce it very coed indeed.
1t is largely shipped to all parts of the Sound,
and several barrels were taken on board of
our boat on the present trip, directed to Sc
attic.
We reached the latter place at about P.
NJ. and put up at one of its hotels. intending
to take the boat for Port Townsend the next
morning; but you probably think and so viii
your readers, that this is a sufficient dose for
once; therefore | reserve further narratives
