! Passengers by the steamer MrrUin to-
day report that the body Of Mrs. George

wen. Yesterday morning. floating in the

IN idea used To- prevail that Il SEA voy-
a.c improved the quality OF pork; that
| American meat sent To- Victoria would re-
turn with that delicious flavor peculiar
/ to English breakfast bacon" This
fact was demonstrated by 4 little dccep-
| tipn played on one of our connoisseurs, :,
! few wears ago. who bv some strange ia
tality was born in this pleban country
end ,wcl with all the pref Idiccs ri

/ Winters supply of English hams that

namcnicd with Victoria brand 1t is
now held by some of our people that Il
tran~contncntal trip has precisely the
same effect on bacon, provided shipments
are made under certain prescribed condi-
ti"nS.

Nancing temperance reform by Il careful
study oi the inevitable effects Of alcohol
upon the human system, and making
the penalty fixed by outraged Nature

each individual owes to himself as vel

Gates VIGOROUS blows at the root OF evil
instead of Topping off Il few branches
His reliance is on the promptings OF
reason more than the restraints Of law
The logical sequence OF his position is
Remove the appetite for strong drink
and the consumption will cease. Aslona
as the demand exists, means of supply
will be- discovered, and the horrors which
all deplore continue, a check to mora
advancement and blight to the physical
growth Of the people. 1t is hoped thai
! this will not be the last opportunity oul
people will have to hear Col. T. from the
rostrum, u place he 50 ably fills.
