American Fruit Condemned.

Thomas Cunningham informs the Co
lumbar that 10000 boxes of British Co
lumbia apples could have been sold in
Vancouver last week had they been avail
able. Ten carloads of apples had been
received at the port of Vancouver within
the past week from Ontario and Oregon.
The fruit is now being inspected, and
some of it has already been condemned
and re-exported and some small lots, not
included in the above, were cremated.
Fruit inspection in British Columbia is
no more rigid than in New Zealand. Mr..
Cunningham has information that a
whole shipload of American fruit was
condemned some time back at a New
Zealand port, and the ship, being towed
out to deep water, the cargo was dumped
overboard.-New Westminster Column

In the human breast. Despite repeated dis
appointments, the divine spark rekindles
after each. Though there may not be a
silver lining to every cloud the vapors which
obscure the sky oft watt aside and disclose
the full splendor of the MONDAY sun. Thus
is hope justified. Invalids who seek the aid
from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in the
hope Of something better than mere modi-
tication Of the evils from which they suffer-
will find that it justifies their expectation.
Chills and fever, rheumatism, dyspepsia
liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and
debility are thoroughly, not partly, remedted
by the Bitters. Loss Of flesh, appetite and
sleep are counteracted by this helpful tonic
as by no other medicinal agent, and to the
old, infirm and convalescent it affords
speedily appreciate benefit. A wineglass-

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

The snoo is on the whick-whack trees,
The hilojackthums look fOrlorn;
The monkta-ra-ras sit and sneeZe
Their greeting to the Krismas morn;
The snick-dick and the Waggle-hnch
Have ceased to snick and wag;
The cinch-buggazzam lost his cinch,
And the paxWaX has jag!
So it's tirra-lirra-lirra lum,
And terry-rerry goo;
And tirra-lirra lum some more,
And terry-rerry, too!
Old Sindy Claws has made his rounds,
With yips and f1ums and gilly-goops;
All babies weighing umptee pounds
Received their stockums full of snoops;
The older wops got ribbledibs,
And woOZy wogs, all nice and soft;
The pretty yuns got loads Of fbs,
And the naughty snooks got-left!
SO it's DeeZy-WeaSk wumsy Wum,
And chiZZle-wiZZle wee;
And peasy-weasy wum two times
And chizzle-wizzle three!
The squeezerums, dressed up in whangs,
The squeezereSses take to ride
In huggersnugs, with jingling jangs,
And busskerbuss them as they glide!
And SO the Krismas day ON Mars
Soon passes with its cneer and mirth-
The same glad time among the stars
1t is upon the gay old earth!
So it's hitty-ditty decide dun,
And kitchy-witchy boo!
Enough of nonsense is enough,
And so good day to you!

HE NEVER SERVED.
A Vice-President Who Took the Oath on
Foreign Soil.

William Rufus King (born April G.,
1856; died April Is, 1853 was a Vice
President of the United States who never
served in that capacity, and one who took
the oath of Office on foreign soil-some>
thing which can be said of no other eXecu-
tive officer which has ever been elected by
the people of this country. King was an
invalid but his friends urged him to take
second place on the ticket with Pierce in
1852. Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced to 90 to Cuba early in 1858, some
two and half months before Inauguration
day. Not having returned to the United
States by March 4 Congress passed a spe>
cial act authorizing the United States con,
sui at MantanZas, Cuba, to swear him in
as Vice-President at about the hour when
Pierce was taking the oath of office at
Washington. This arrangement was car
ried out to the dot, and ON the day appoints
ed, and at a plantation on one of the
highest hills in the vicinity of MantanEas,
Mr.. King was made Vice-President Of the
United States amid the solemn ''Vaya vol
con dos" God will be with you) of the
creoles who had assembled to witness the
unique spectacle. Vice-Presdent King
returned to his home at Cahawba Ala,
arriving at that place April II, 1853, and
died the following day. His remains were
laid TO rest on his plantation, known as
Pine Hills.-Chicago Times

AN EXCITED WALL STREET WAR
RIOIt.

The Wall street warrior of the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, imported to teach
the people OF Nevada hat the way to
restore free coinage and prosperity to
the State is to vote for a party that is
controlled by the Gold Trust. is very
angry at the Journal for calling atten.
ton to the proposed amendment to
Section I, Article II, Of the Constitu-
ton, which DISTINGUISHES all who bore
arms against the Government in the
war OF the rebellion. He waves the
bloody shirt; says the Republican
party put down the rebellion etc.
The Wall street warrior ought to
know that the last shot OF the war was
fired in April, 1865, andthat the Union
army was composed, not Of Republi-
cans nor OF Democrats, but.of Union
men. He should also inform him
self Of the fact, il he cares to be ecu
rate, that the proposed amendment to
Section /, Article III, Of the Corstitu-
ton. passed the Legislature March 10.
1891, and that not n OF the men who
voted for ii ever served in the war for
the Union. The scheme to disfran.
chise those who served in the Con
federate army thirty years rago, was
concocted by u coterie Of politicians,
who never smelt powder in the Union
war, nor in any Indian wars which
we're waged III Nevada at that time.
Those who proposed the amendment
and sugarcoated the Acknowledgement
clause were not patriots, but place
hunters. However, il the Wall street
warrior OF the Comstock will admit
that the war for the emancipation OF
the black slaves is over and that the
war for the emancipation of the white
slaves is on, and he will join the peo-
pie in the crusade against the Gold
Trust the Railroad Trust. and the
thousand and one other combinations
organized to enrich the few at the ex.
pense Of the many, his vagaries will

achieved by the people he will find
