up before the temperance committee this

AN ANALYSIS OF CIGARETTES.
State Chemist Payne had been required
by the committee TO make an analysis. lie
took eighty cigarettes and made thorough
examination OF both the paper and tobacco.
He found no trace Of poison.
Another chemist, who had also made an
examination separately, gave the same
testimony. The sample selections were
taken at random from the cigarettes
commonly offered for sale. The result of
the analyses was decidedly surprise to the
friends of the bill To show how carefully
the state chemists examination had been
made, Dr. Payne took one-quarter Of a
grain of morphine. mixed IL with the ma
terial from eighty cigarettes and showed,
by analyses. that this nall quantity was
plainly perceptible.
Mai. AbbOtt quoted an analysis Oh pure
tobacco from the "Encyclopadia Brit
tanica, - and DIR. Paynes' analysis Of cigar
cite tobacco was substantially IDENTICAL
The only ingredient that might be harmful
was nicotine, found in all tobacco.
ALLEGED TO BE HARMLESS.
This means that the cigarette is as harm
less to smoke as the cigar, the only danger
being in excessive smoking, which applies
to all forms of tobacco as forcibly as to the
cigarette. No report was agreed upon to-
day, the bill being made special order in
the committee for q date next week.

Great Loss of Life and Property Re-
ported.

Great Loss of Life and Property Re-
ported.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Aug. 6.-Auck-
land advices of July II to 16 are to the
effect that great flood and something like
tidal wave prevailed at Melbourne on
july 10. The waters in the harbor
rose above the level of the surrounding
towns, and several small vessels
were wrecked. The floods were the most
severe since 1862, and the course of the
Yarra river presented a scene of desolation
for miles. The factories along the river
side were submerged, as was also a great
number of houses on the south side Of the
river in Torak.
STREETS SUBMERGED.
In South Richmond, another suburb of
Melbourne, whole streets were submerged
and 1900 people were rendered homeless.
Business is almost suspended in the city,
and efforts are being made to relieve the
wants of the sufferers. A relief fund was
started and soon reached 5000. The loss
of life, it is believed, did not exceed ten.
A schooner, whose name is UNKNOWN dis
appeared off Sorrento, and it is believed
has been lost with all hands. The steamer
Bancoora was ashore and her bottom was
stove in.
On the plateau of the Dandenanong
range an avalanche of earth fifty acres IN
extent swept down the mountain side, in.
gulfng the residences there. All the in
mates escaped, except one woman, who had
a limb broken.
RAILROADS WASHED OUT.
The railroads we're partly washed out for
twenty miles. A great number of sheep
were drowned. 1t is estimated that the
total loss will reach $500 000
At last advices the rivers were rising, aud
floods in the Albury district were feared.
Much sickness was prevalent at Melbourne,
attributed to moisture and to the deposits
of slime left by the floods.

important to Cities.

CLEVELAND. o., November 17.-An impor-
tant decision, affecting the authority of cities
to control and regulate corporatins enjoying
street franchises, wes rendered by Judge
Jackson in the United States circuit court.
Some time since the city council passed an
ordinance reducing the price of gas from 81
to 60 cents per thousand. The gas company
went into the United states court and asked
for relief in equity, claiming that the pro-
posed reduction meant virtual confiscation
of their property, which is contrary to tho
federal constitution, preventing the taxing
of property without due process Of law. The
city demurred on the ground that the federal
court had no jurisdiction.
Judge jackson overruled the demurrer and
granted an Injunction against the city. He
held that the city had no right to fix the price
of an article of which 1t was q consumer, that
the action of the council would impair the
validity of the contract made with the gas
company in 1876, and that the city had NO
right to do.

A FUNNY incident occurred while
some blasting operations were in prog.
ress lately at Hull. Quebec. An un-
usually heavy charge was about to be
fred, and everybody had been warned
away. A little dog Immediately logged
over to the edge of the pit where the
explosion was about to take place.
The canine stood wagging its tail, the
onlookers ct . distance, of course,
thinking it was indulging in a final
bark. With . loud report the rock
below was rent asunder, the men ran
over, and to their establishment found
the little dog uninjured and barking
with al its might at the noise in the
middle Of . cloud Of smoke.

Threads OF Thought.

To know ones self is to distrust
ones self.
Each life may have potentiality of
greatness.
To be misunderstood by those we
love is bitterest of all.
Find disinterested friend and you
have found jewel.
The greatest study of all is that of
the changes of the mind.
Success has sometimes to be paid
for, after having been fairly earned.
One is led to think that there is but
little that is constant nowadays save
mutability.
The philosopher takes his fortune
much as he does his health-enjoys it
when it is good, endures it when bad,
and seeks extreme remedies only at
the most urgent need.

for at this moment . loud cry from the
sailors recalled his attention to their
present danger. The island was now SO
near that the very seaweed on the rocks
could be distinctly seen. as it rose from
time to time out OF the boiling surf
A landing stage ran out from the base
of the cliff, but it was half the time
drowned by the waves; no soul stood
upon it
Suddenly blaze streamed up from
the top of the tower, and deep toned
bell began to clsng; the Mergauser was
seen, and the people Of the tower were
signaling her.
Arden cheered his men with new
hopes of rescue, and gave them careful
instructions how to fight for their lives
after the vessel struck. He then spoke
few quiet, heartfelt words to his mate,
an intelligent young man who was much
attached to him; he was giving him q
message of farewell for Lord Inchcape
in case Of MS own death. Tell MIN I
did my best to preserve his heir" said
he, with q rueful laugh.
He then turned to Kenmore, who was
once more wrapped in his own thoughts.
saying heartily:
"You don't like me because I'm an
Englishmsn, but then you don't know
me, and it doesn't matter now You
are a loyal fellow and; honor you.
There, let us die at peace with one an
other. IL die we must" He extended
his hand to the old Highlander, but
even then Kenmore shook his head with
a look Of utter aversion
@Lithe and mellow was the tongue
that brought ruin upon Dunraven!"
muttered he, "Gnd that tongue Was Eng
ltsh. Gamma forget. l Gamma forget"
Edgar turned from him more in won
der than anger; strange impatience
came upon him, it seemed hard that he
might die just when his foot was upon
the verge of this undreamed of mystery.
And now the Mergauser was under
the isle-entering its shadow-sur-
rounded by its breakers.
Suddenly man appeared upon the
landing stage-anOther and an0thcr-a
swarm of rescuers covered the wave
washed platform; and the small figure
that clung to the face of the cliff above
them, assigning to each his place with
a wave of the hand-was woman
Arden could see her as distinctly as if
she stood beside him. darkly beautiful
creature, in the earliest bloom Of youth,
clad In dark blue, with giimmer OF gold
at forehead ana throat, and wild. white.
inspired face turned toward the doomed
yacht.
at is Oolava herself" shouted Ken
more in ecstasy. @Saw you ever her
peer among your whimpering dames?"
$50 that is 'Oolava,' that fiery sea
princess!" thought Edgar, with leap
of the heart, "that is Lord Dunraven's
daughter"
He could see the jetty curves of her
hair and the painting of her breast. He
met her deep, dark, flashing eyes; they
pierced him to the very heart; when,
with shivering shock. the Mergauser
struck-remained wedged as if in wise;
the pursuing waves caught up at last,
lifted themselves up like a mountain,
and descended with a crash upon the
pretty toy, which went to pieces in
stantly.

Offering and rates are steady.
Trade Is large IN volume for the season,

the largest ever known. but the marRins for
profits are narrow and the tendency of prices
is not toward improvement IN that respect.
Wmle breadstuffs advance, most of th6
manufactured products tend to q decline.
The records OF the mortgages satisfied in
western states show that enormous sums have
been taken for that purpose by farmers from
their receipts, 50 that an unusual proportion
OF the money paid for crops goes to cancel
this, in part. explains the fact that the demand
for various manufactured products has not
yet increased SO largely - expected, in view
Of the great crops raised.

Sales Of merchandise greatly exceed last

Wool manufacturers and clothiers are wait
