L887. THE DAILY EXAMINER.

~ JULY 22, 1887. hor NOTES Of a Trip to the North-West and British ¢ columbia.

For the comfort of any Nova Scotian who may chance tu read this, | will say that do not think the Victoria Arm quite comes up to theirs.

I found the people of Victoria in every way agreeable, and I greatly enjoyed my stay among them. While the circumstances under which I| travelled were undoubtedly favorable to my seeing the best side of everything and everybody, | nevertheless think that had my visit been under less favorable auspices, I should still have carried away with me the impression that Victoria is a pleasant place to live in.

It was difticult to realize that the city is not yet thirty years old. In 1857, a Hud- son’s Bay Fort alone marked the site o Victoria, and it was not until the discovery of gold in the Fraser River in 1855 and 1859 that people began to come in, and a town Sprang up.

The Colony is very English, as distinct from Canadian. Indeed, the British Coluin- bian’s affect rather to look down on Cana- dians as such. quence of their isolation.

People emigrated from the Old Country to British Columbia before the days of railways, and all access to the east being barred by 600 miles of mountains and 2500 miles of wiiderness, they were perforce compelled to draw their supplies and keep up their intercourse exclusively with the Mother Country. And so they have con- tinued very Efiglish, reminding me of the society of our own Island of Prince Edward as it was in its pre-Confederation days. Nature, too, more kind than with us, has encouraged the British Columbians by her example to adhere closely to the Mother- land The climate of Victoria resembles that of England, though it is milder. Ivy, holly and mistletoe grow there in profusion,

This, of course, 18 a couse-

while primroses abound to such an extent |

as to make it easy to understand why the people are, as a whole, so thoroughly Con- servative. None of these peculisrly Eng- lish plants, however, are indigenous. They have all been brought over from England in the first instance, and have readily taken root and flourished, until now they grow promiseuously.

I did not ascertain this while over there.

To tell the truth, I was rather led to}

understand that they are all natives of the soil.

I was struck by the arbutus trees which are really ali their own, being peculiar to the Pacitic Coast. from the way in which they shed their bark, instead of their leaves, | was told—but my information was again inac- curate—for they shed both. I occasionally encountered while over there, the slightest possible disposition, rather to ** lay it on ;” but I have been careful throughout to make allowance for this tendency, which I must say I have not found wholly restricted to the people of the Pacitic Coast.

The waters teem with fish, and here again are to be found points of similarity with England, which we in old Canada do not share. Shrimps and prawns are plen-

lin the keeping of a certain Reverend gentle- lman who adhered to the Low Church School. This clergyman had it all his own }way, until in process of time the growing jimportance of the place caused the advent lof a Bishop from the Old Country, whose {theological views differed from those held ‘by the incumbent. This led to dissensions |which culminated in the clergyman falling ,under the Episcopal ban, and his subse- ;quent withdrawal from the Anglican com- munion, followed by the establishment of a branch of what is known as the Reformed | Zpiscopal Church, over which body the clergyman, who in the meantime had him- \selt been raised to the Episcopal dignity, ‘now worthily presides. These things, one may be sure, were the source of n.uch ill- feeling, all traces of which have not as yet wholly disappeared from Victoria society. ; One of the principal objects of interest in British Columbia is John Chinaman, of whom I must not forget to say something. | The Chinese question is onc of great ‘practical import on the Pacitic Coast. From the British Columbia members of Parlia- iaent, and others, I had heard much against these people, and now I was to see for my- self.

There are about 2,500 of them in Victoria. They are largely employed as domestic ser- vants. Those about the hotel were clean, industrious, respectful and honest —at least, we found them so.

They all live together ina part of the city called ** China Town.” Accompanied by a policeman and some friends, | made a tour of this quarter. The Chinese appear to be a commercial people, for there are lots of shops in China Town, some of them very clean, respectable places, while others, again, are not s.. We peeped into s me filthy dens where the Chinese live in bunks,

jike in aship, tier upon tier of them —per- |haps as many as furty ina room which would accommodate about four white men. We also looked in an opiumden. It was a low, close, filthy hole, with two rough beds ,or lounges in it. Reclining on and about | these were perhaps a dozen men, all with a jhalf stupified look, They generally smoked in couples, and in this wise: Two of them |would lie on their sides facing each other, iabout a foot apart. Between them stood a | pot of opium and alighted candle. One fellow would be smoking while the other 'would be preparing his smoke by winding a jean piece of the sticky substance (like itreacle) on a stick and heating it over the ‘flame. When his friend had finished, he ‘took the pipe (they had only one between \them), and shoving the opium into the |aperture, lit it over the flame of the candle and took his smoke, while the other pre- }pared the opium for his turn. The actual jsmoke lasted but a very short time—about half a minute, I should judge. The pipe was a large piece of wood, about a foot llong, in shape something like a lemon squeezer, wholly unlike a tobaceo pipe. ‘The opium was put inan aperture in the middle.

Some of these fellows were asleep, quite |overcome-—and all were in different stages of stupefaction. They did not seem to jhave the slightest objection to our looking at them. | Wealso visited the ** Joss House,” the Chinese temple of worship, which isa very ‘singular place. It is a large room up a steep flight of stairs. It bears a certain resemblance to a Christian Church, in that it has a sort of altar. But the points of difference are so many and so great that

There are muny delightful villas about Victoria, adorned with pretty flower gar- dens and lawns of that soft, velvety touch, which recalled to my mind the anecdote of the Yankee cousin who, on visiting Eng- land, was struck with what I here admired. ‘‘How in thunder do you git the grass into this shape?’ asked he. ‘‘We can't raise

nothin’ like this in our country.” ‘"My dear sir,” was the reply, ‘‘nothing is easier; you have only to roli it and water it for four hundred years.”

I came in for a good many tennis parties, afternoon teas, dinners, &c., and cannot speak too highly of the kindness and hos- pitable treatment in which I shared. 1 must especially mention a regatta, given by the city, in the Premier’s honour. It was held on the Arm on a_ beautiful day in August. The occasion was proclaimed a public holiday, aud the whole population turned out to honour the father of the Canadian Pacific Ralway. The Premier and his party were entertained at luncheon by Mr. O'Reilly, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in Ottawa some years before, and whose residence, picturesquely situated on the upper end of the Arm, was to me the very ideal of a charming English home. In the afternoon, in company with the Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Cornwall and the Admiral, we witnessed the regetta from the latter's steam pinnace. ‘There were races of all kinds, between the men- of-war’s men, belonging to the flag ship then in port, between the sailors and the civilians, between Indians and white men, and between two crews of squaws, which last was great fun. In the evening there was a general illumiaation and the sight from the Admiral’s barge, as we steamed up and down the Arm, was one to be remem- bered.

The Union Club, which, by the way, is an excellent institution, entertained the Premier at a ball which was in every way a grand success.

As is the case in all small places, the people of Victoria take a lively interest in each other’s affairs, and there is a good deal of gossip in consequence.

Like certain communities on the Atlantic coust, too, this pretty town is not without its experience of the vdiwm theologicuin, which is so fraught with disturbance to the peace of society. It appears that in the early days of the city’s history, the spirit- ual concerns of that portion eopy

‘understand it. A Chinaman will go up to ‘the ‘‘altar,” in the recess of which an ‘idol—a figure of a man seated, with a long {black beard —is enshrined, and resting his ‘elbows thereon, will coolly smoke in ‘* Joss’s”’ face—all this with his hat on, and the same careless manner he has on the ; Street. | The carving on this altar is admirably executed—the designs of men and animals being grotesque toadegree. In the re- cess in which ‘Juss’ is deposited are two lother idols. One of them looks like a repre- lsentationof awoman. Whether these people |have any idea of a Trinity or not, I do not know, nor could we find out whether they had any priests, orform of public worship. It is, no doubt, a development of the re- ] gion of Confucius. The word ‘‘Joss” is comparatively modern, and is said to be a corruption of the Latin Deus —God. We asked many questions to little pur-

pose. Either they could not or would not understand. ‘There was an adjoining room

where a society met. We asked who com- posed the society, and were told “good men.” On enquiring who were good men, we were told ‘*tlose who pay their debts.” This seeins to be their standard of merit, and it is not a low one.

There are no seats in the ‘‘Joss” House. Around the walls were all manner of sym- bolic devices—some on the end of poles looking like medizeval battle axes. There were banners as well, the silk embroidery ou which was extremely rich. I asked our guide what the ‘‘battle axes” were for. He answered; ‘*When Joss go out, allee samee i soldier’ —which evidently meant that they {had some kind of religious pageant resem- bling our military displays. I opened a door of what would be the vestry in 4 Christian church, half expecting to see 4 Celestial priest engaged in preparing him- self for the celebration of some mystical rite, but to my disgust I saw only two Chinamen smoking opium. :%
