Mr.. W. K. Reynolds, Jr., in a letter
to his father from British Columbia
dated Nov. IS, tells the following re-
markablc story:
WAS at Duncan's two nights; spent
m hour ut the Cowichan river each
evening catching salmon by the tail and
throwing them up tho bank or back in
the river. l suppose you will think
this overdrawn, but it is fact Just the
same. The river is literally swarming
with them, and the water can hardly
be seen for fish. The banks are COW
cred with dead fish, and the stencil is
horrible. The people are complaining,
but apparently nothing can be done. l
caught about 40, one after the other,
and got pretty wet over it. The sport
is more exciting than fishing with q
rod. Every little slough in the river is
filled with them, places where the wa
ter is only six inches deep. but they
force themselves along very fast and are
fearfully strong. The average weight
ID about 10 pounds. bat there are many
heavier and few lighter. Halifax

 .B The last time a protective tariff was overthrown in this country to makeway for a democratic tariff for revenue only was in 1s46. That tariff for revenue only was enacted by south ern shareholders for the purpose of re- ducing the "extravagant wages" of the working people of New England. The present democratic tariff bill has been framed by the political heirs and suc- cessors of the early shareholders. They have not acknowledged that they were animated by the same motives, but no intelligent man can question that the measure will produce exactly the same results. Boston Journal

PIRACY AT SEA.
Murderous Work of Two Brothers-TheiH
 Trial at Brest.

murderOus work Of Two Brothers-TheiI
 Trial at Brest.
 LONDON, Dec. GA dispatch to the Standard, from Paris, referring to the trial of the South Pacific piracy case at Brest, gives the following details of the mutiny on the Nineroahiti:
 On the night the Roriques seized the schooner Joseph Rorique took the watch from o'clock in the evening till midnight. He was joined by his brother and their murderous work was at once begun.
 The native captain, Tara, was stretched upon the deck, asleep, and he was shot and thrown overheard. The report of the pistol and the splash of the body as it was thrown into the sea aroused the supercargo, Gibson, and the cook, Mirrick. The Roriques called to Gibson to come on deck and he was also shot and thrown overheard. A little later Mirrick was summoned to come up and he obeyed, trembling with fear and begging for his life, promising the brothers that he would keep their se- cret if his life was spared
 The second day after the murders, Alexander Rorique ordered Mirrick to give to each of the five Kanakas form. ing the crew glass of rum. Only two of them would touch the liquor, and they died on the same day. The remaining three, fearing an at tempt to poison them, refused to par take of food for several days, until at last they became so terrified by the threats of the Roriques that they jumped overheard and were lost
