I refer you to the Cxy Report for my views on taxation, amd would only adi that I am fully satisfied that the ordinary

reduced rate on real estate and personal property, which rate, with the other ources of available income, will yield a sufficient revenue to meet the liberal basis of expenditure of the past year, and that no department of the public service can suffer thereby.

PROM CANADA TO THE PACIFIC. MACKENZIE'S LONG JOURNEY JUST A CENTURY ‘AGO.

The Heacquarters of the Peace and Fraser

Kivers Located by the Explorer--A

Wearisome Land Journey and a Peril-

ous Trip Down the Fraser.

In October, 1792, Alexander Mac- kenzie left Fort Chippewayan on an expedition for the purpose of com- municating with the Pacific, so as to commence his discoveries as early in the spring as possible. Determined to proceed to the most distant settlement £ the traders at the West in the autumn, he descended to Peace, or, as t is called by the Indians, the Unipah River, for upwards of 200 miles, build- ing a log house in latitude 56 degrees 9 ninutes, and longitude 117 degrees 35 ininutes west, where he spent the winter,

Leaving this place on May 9, 1798, e continued his course up the river, Vhich he found flowing through a de- ightfaul and verdant country, but as he party approached the mountains he banks became higher, the current Af- a few difficulties and dangers, which were overcome more by his own se and self-possession than the constancy of his Canadians, Mackenzie reached the source of the Peace River n the beginning of the month of June, Chis he found in a small lake situated n adeep snowy valley embosomed in yoo ly The lake is about in length and from 800 to He found in it trout ind carp.

The country he deseribes as very eautiful after reaching the more open mrt of the river. It rose rather abrupt- y avout 25 feet, when the precipice vas succeeded by an incline plans to he foot of gnother steep, which was

leseri} when, altering his original intentions, he returned up course to latitude 23 1-2 degrees, and prepared to go to- ward the Pacitic by land. Building a

its

i} \og house to contain his canoe and such

rticles as could not be carmed, Mac- cenzie and his companions started on their land journey, each carrying a load of p¢emmiecan, and having, besides their ammunition, instruments for astronomical observations and articles for presents. According to the report of the Indians it did not require more than six days to reach a country where they bartered their furs for iron, and from there to the sea it was said to re- two days more. Among them he found two hislipence, one the oin of Great Britain, the other of the State of Massachusetts, coined in 1787, Six years before.

Proceeding westward he found wo- men clothed with matted bark edged with the skin of the sea otter. In July he found the mountains covered with compact snew, and yet the weather sas warm and the yalley beautiful. Descending from these~—probably the main chain of the Rocky Mountains, amoung the precipitous sides of which two rivers have their rise and unite at the base—he found the country covered with large trees—pines. spruce, hem- lock, bireh—and abounding in animals, and lower down the river Re observed the loftiest elder and cedar trees he had ever seen.

Following the course of the river through a deep ravine he reached an Indian village, where the river abound- ed in salmon. He commenced a voyage down it toward the Pacific, having ob- tained a large canoe from the natives, This he found adorned with the teeth of the sea otter, and, as the chief to whom it belonged affirmed that he had some years before seen on the coast large canoes full of white men, Mac- kenzie conceived that the similarity whicb these teeth bore to those of man would account for Cook’s report that the natives of the coast decorated their canoes with human teeth—especially as these Indians corresponded in dress and manner to those described by him.

On the 19th of July he arrived where

the river discharges itself into a narrow arm of the sea. On the 2ist, continu. ing his vovage along the coast, and across the sound, to that point which Vancouver, as lately as the 4th of June preceding, had named Point Menzies, he met an Indian, who told him that a large canoe had come into the bay filled with white people, that one of them called Macubah had fired on him and his friends. This was, perhaps, one of Vancouver's vessels, but the facts can- not further ascertained. On the southeast face of the rocks bordering on What he subsequently ascertained to be the Cascade Canal of Vancouver, Mackeuzie inscribed in large characters, with vermillion mixed in melted grease, this by ‘ef memorial :

““Ai “onder Mackenzie, from Canada by land, the 22nd of July, 1794.”

He computed the latitude at 52 de- grees, 21 minutes N. On the 28rd he reached the mouth of the river, wheng¢ he had set out. and from there returned by the Tatouche and Peace Rivers te Eastern Canada.

Sweet Sixteen, Foetically, it is very well. Practi- cally, I object to it. Has it ever ‘'a decent dress,” although the family seamstress works from morning till night of every day in the year, taking in and letting out, lengthening and shortening, narrowing here and widen- ing there ? :

The very first day a new dress is worn doesn’t “sweet sixteen” tear it, and that the most conspicuous place, and in the most zig-zag manner ? Could she “help it,’ when there is always a protruding nail or splinter lying in wait purposely for her, which by no foresight of hers could be Walked round, or avoided ?

Don’t always scem ta know when she has a new bonnet, and

in

the clouds

the mud when she wears new gaiters? And when she wants her umbrella at school, isn’t ‘the nasty thing” always at home, when needs it at home, is it not always perversely at

and she school ?

Doesn't sixteen” when she takes a notion to sit down and sew, always locate herself by the side of the bed, which full of needles, and going her straighway for getteth, till by the shrieks of punctured sufferers ?

Doesn't

“sweet sixteen” always leave

the street door open ? Does she ever own 2a boot-lace, or a pin, or acollar, although purchases of these articles are made for her continually, if not

oftener ?

Isn’t her elder sister always your “favorite,” and was “sweet sixteen” ever known to like her breakfast, din- ner or supper, or prefer wholesome food to saccarine and dyspeptic messes? Is she ever ready to goto bed of a night or get up of a morning?

Doesn’t she always insist on wearing high heels to her boots, which are con- stamtly ¢ocating her feet where her head should be? Doesn't she always, though eonsulted to the : make of her garments, repine at the superior color and fit of Adelina Seraphina Elgitha Smith’s ? And, finally, although she has everything thinks isn’t everything and everybody ‘real mean, and so there ?”

Lost Fish, Tackle and Keys.

Tt is a good maxim to have patience with a weeded fish: indeed, this virtue

often stands the angler in good stead,

I once knew a friend of mine put to serious inconvenience for want of it. He had hooked a heavy salmon, and this fish lay down and sulked, as salmon will do once in half a dozen

seasons, though not nearly so often, if properly handled, as some people My frien | was a good tsher,

suppose,

and allowed his fish to take no liber- ties; nevertheless, this salmon lay down in a deep black pool. Eve ry

known expedient was tried to stir him; stones were thrown in—the only result

was that the fixh took leisurely turns and returned to his stronghold. The angler got b low him, above him,

nd pulled on him to the limit of the strength of his tackle— all to purpose. A fine was ebbing away, and tish in the river were on the job. What was to be done?

A bright thoaght occurred to the sportsman. He had a bunch of keys in his pocket—the keys of ali his most sacred repositories. They were ona ring that opened on a hinge. Fitting this round the butt of his rod, without

alongside of him, e

no afternoon

having the patience to remove the keys, he ran it down over the point, and the whole bunch went rattling down the line and lodged on the

Salmon’s nose. It had a Splendid effect. Away went the fish like a dog witha tin kettle atits tail; 20, 30 yards of line whizzed from the reel, and then— there came disaster. The point of the rod flew up; the fish was gone; back came the flies, but back did not come the keys. Thirty seconds would have sutliced to remove the keys before using the ring; fish and ring might, indeed, have been Jost, but the keys woulg have been safe.—Blackwood’s Maga- zine.

Gas Well in a Tree.

A singular case is reported from the south end of Washington County. Hunley Gooch and his son Kit were coon hunting, and while they were chopping down a tree for the game, a hissing sound, accompanied by an un- pleasant odor, waaiaite came from the notch in the teee. Young Gooch struck a match to see what was wrong, and immediately fire tlashed all over his head and shoulders, burning him severely. He made a desperate leap and landed beyond the circuit of the tlames. The tree continued to burn until the bark was burned off several feet above their heads, The ax, which was left sticking in the tree, had the handle burned off. The man _ had chopped intoa pent-up reservoir of gas, —Pittsburg Dispatch.

“Te My Life’s Eni.’

OW age brings many aches and pains ' which must be looked after if health is to | be maintained. This depends more than anything else on the kidneys. “I am 85 years old,” writes A. Duftin, farmer, Aults- ville, Ont., “and have had kidney trouble five vears. My son advised Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver pills, and I obtained immediate relief. I shall use them to my life’s end.” You will find Chase’s Pills equally eftect- } ive for that lame back.

ODDS AND ENDS.

IT DOES THE BUSINESS,

If you want to know what Miller’s Emuision cf Norwegian Cod Liver Oil will do for a consumptive patient ask one who bas tried it. Ask anyone who has used it in lung troubles of any kind. What they say about Miller’s Emulsion shall be its recommendation. It is the finest pre- paration of its kind in the world, and is worth its weight in gold to a consumptive sufferer, whom it will raise from a bed of sickness to health and s rength of body

Counterfeits

A few yearsago agreat discovery was made,

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Piiis and sel] them by court.

Second—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the same price.

Third—To hook on the word “kidney” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourth—T»o givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for such dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the best. And ought not to be the subject for any trick.

So beware.

The world condemns a man for adher- ing stubbornly to his opinion, and begins

to doubt his sincerity as soon as he changes it. The Weather tor Colds, This is the time when colds are in the

fashion—every body who is anybody lias one, if not himself there’s ore in the family. For no complaint under the sun are there more remedies than for a cold in

His heart was effected.

“‘Overwork as a student at college brought on an attack of nervous prostra-

tion,” says Mr. Gilbert, a_ railway missionary. ‘‘I was exceedingly ner-

vous and if I exerted myself my heart commenced to flutter violently, and I was warned that even ordinary eercise en- dangered my life. But thanks to Scott’s Sarsaparilla I feel better than I ever ex- pected te feel, for I can now address a meeting without effort, can walk a brisk

ace for two hours or more without ex-

austion and am free from that distressing palpitation. In my work | have often- time recommended Scott’s Sarsaparilla, and have seen many cases where its effects have been most marked.”

Scott’s Sarsaparilla acts like magic in restoring shattered nerves because it re- builds the nerve centres. Nervous head- ache, nervous dyspepsia and all nerve derangements wear on the system. Scott’s Sarsaparilla makes new blood and muscles and strong nerves. Of all drug- gists, $1 per bottle. Dose from half to one teaspoonful.

After atime of earnest prayer and study ofthe Scriptures he seemed more resign- ed, and both came to the knowledge of Christian doctrine and the possession of Christian peace. In speaking of this in- cident later, the younger man said: “I then began to study my Bible, and to preach in another mauner than I had pre- viously done.”’

The young minister was Rev. Henry F Lyte, who was born at Kelso, Roxburgh shire, in 1783. He studied: at Trinity Col lege, and held a curacy in Wexford for some time, and afterwards went down to the coast of Devon to labor among the sailors. Here his transparent piety and ungunenchable zeal won for him many friends, who loved him with the proverb- ial love of men toughened by hardships, and women wearied with longings for lulled storms and cloudless skies. In re- turn he gave taem all the affection ofa faithful pastor.

After twenty-one years of faithful labor his health began to fail, and his physicians advised him to goto the more congenial clime of Southern France. When told he would have to leave he said: “I hope not, forl know of no divorce I should more deprecate than from the ocean.” But he was forced tosee the necessity for a trip to the South, and wrote: “‘The swallows are preparing for flight and inviting me to accompany them; and yet, alas! while I talk of flying, I am just able to crawl, and ask myself whether I shall be able to leave England at all !”

Before resigning his charge he desired to preach once more to a people he loved so well. His family strove to dissuade him, fearing the strain on his impaired constitution, but yielded at last. At the close of the sermon the Lord’s Supper was administered, and he said: “Oh, brethren, Ican speak feelingly, experimentally on this point, and I stand before you season- ably to-day as alive from the dead, if I may hope to impress it upon you, and in- duce you to prepare for that solemn hour which must come to all, by a timely ac- quaintance with, appreciation of, and de- pendence on the death of Christ.”

At the close of service he returned home greatly exhausted. As the Sabbath day wore on, and the sun was sinking behind the western hills, his un- wearied spirit drank again from its pure Castalian spring, and in his quiet cham- ber he penned his masterpiece. It was his last sermon to preach, his last Sabbath to enjoy, his last hymn to write.

Next morning he sailed for France, where he gradually sank. He died point- ing upwards and whispered *‘Peace, Joy,’’ gloriously realizing the answer to the prayer of his last hymn. In 1883 the church at Lower Brixham was rebuilt as a monu- ment to his name and merit.

Rev. G. D. Baker, D.D., of Philadelphia, says when he was at Nice he went to visit

this solemn

the grave of Lyte. There was there be- fore hima youngman shedding copious tears of gratitude. The words of this

hymn had been directiy instrumental in his conversion— “Abide with me.”

“SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS.”
