‘We are now locating the line along Lake Kamloops. It is a hard piece of road; for we have nothing but bluff after bluff, and in 2,500 feet we have five tunnels. We work on the face of the rock, at an elevation of 175 feet above the water line, and have very little footing. We are work- ing on ropes altogether—ropes around our {t is very dangerous—so much so that the chief told us to hand him letters addressed to our people, in case ‘anything should happen us—meaning, I suppose, that he should know where the balance of salary seems strange to make a will before going to work of a ‘morning.

Total Prohibition.

A correspondent of the St. John Tele- graph writes :—

“The proposition that Canada cannot possibiy get along without her liquor rev- enue is one that may be fairly challenged. The total revenue of Canada from all sources for the tive years ending 30th June, 1883, may be stated thus:—

i { }

ONES Mk ae Ho wdaks dw Gib awh $22,517,382 eee. aig vines beni 23,307,406 ae Bild oc iaes or: aden a oe . 29,635,297 Oe las owes eee SUE i, b> knee che eens pene 35,794,649

ee ee ee $144,638, 189

Of this sum the amount collected as ‘duties upon spirituous and malt liquors in ‘these years was as follows :—

Mae io. 6 lA eee Sst ig. 5 AV OU , 3,918,133 BEE 60.525 ocho tees iwenueeee 5,998,804 et il ois a. ul 2 cel 5.611, 112 RN hiv si nds cnn eos neaen anes 6,236,879

Liquor revenue................$26,717,833

The general Revenue of Canada from all sources, exclusive of revenue collected upon the importation and manufacture of spiritu- ous and fermented liquors, reached for the

ast five years the enormous sum of $117,- 920,256, as follows :-—

1879.... wo e+e ceeGlT, 354,377 BE cars os oar? Kenken tase cheb an 19,589, 27: Paid snsoev seks «suena pened cee 23,636,493 DUE io rancnen scacere) Gamheene 27,972,843 WOU code oe bee leclacteae al . 29,567,77

Revenue other than liquor. .. .$117,920,256

Or say an average, $23,384,051.20 a year, and therefore with only a moderate in- crease, the assertion may very fairly be made that the time is rapidly{drawing near when the liquor revenue shall cease to be a powerful actor in the mouths of the ad- vocates of the liquor trade opposing the enactment of a prohibitory law, for the whole Dominion of , Canada. | Now let us take the amount paid

under the tariff as Customs and

Excise duties for the five years

ending 30th June, 1883...... $ 26,717,833 Then add cost of manufacture and

cost of importation of such

liquor approximately, say..... $ 63,282,167 Making original cost............ $ 90,000,000 Then add the expenses and profits

of the wholesale and rstail

liquor dealers during the said

tive years, say 60 per cent. .... $ 54,000,000

Total cost to individuals........ $144,000,000

Thus we see that to realize this $26,717,- 833 for revenue purposes, the citizens of Canada and others using the same in Canada, have in all probability, during the past five years paid for the luxury, yclept spirituous and malt liquors, an amount nearly equal to the whole revenue of the General Government of Canda, and this large sum has been expended for that which adds nothing to wealth or happiness, but rather contributes to poverty and misery.

Without attempting to show how absten- tion from the use of liquor would induce ‘expenditure which wonld indirectly tend to

keep the revenue up, 1 think I have said enough to convince any one that the indul- gence in spirituous and fermented hquors is most deleterious in its consequences, and that prohibition would be a good thing for Canada,

Mr. Parnell’s Investment.

Mr. Parnell has recently concluded nego- tiations for the purchase of an estate of over 3,000 acres in Tuam as the first invest- ment of the Land Purchase and Migration Compmy. The Dublin correspondent of the /imes says it is a speculation which is full of promise for the country as regards the interests of both landlords and tenants. It is an unanswerable refutation of the statement, which was very widely circulated and had a very discouraging cflect upon the prospects of the company, that it was merely a political pretence, having no sin- cerity or substance in it, but meant only to beguile the small farmers and the laborers by a show of practical sympathy, in view of a general election, This suggestion, which derived a semblance of probability from certain indiscreet sayings and doings, had the effect of making many persons who had been favorably disposed towards the com- pany look upon it with suspicion, But this purchase will be a proof that the company is nota hollow sham, but that it means business, and, what is more, is doing it. The price agreed upon is £45,000, which is 20 years’ purchage all around on the rental. There is some mountair land on the estate, but the greater part of it is stated to be prime land,

The Australian Confederation.

The movement looking to a confedera. tion of the Australian colonies, has collaps- ed for the present at all events. So far from the colonies being united on the resolutions passed at the Sydney conference, Sir John Robertson and divers other in- fluential members of the opposition in New South Wales legislative assembly decidedly object to the movement, on the ground that the government of Victoria only desire fed- eration in the hope that it may led eventu- ally to a readjustment of the boundaries of the colony by transferring from New South Wales, to Victoria the riverine territory lying between the rivers Murray and Mur- rumbidgee. Accordingly a resolution has been carried in the New South Wales assembly for an address to the Imperial government, praying that no measure in favor of federation shall become law until it has been submitted to the New South Wales government for consideration in the colonial government. With reference to the other colonies, neither the governments of South Australia nor of Tasmania are showing any disposition to deal with the subject—as suggested from Downing Street —sufticiently early to enable the Imperial Parliament to deal with the subject during the present session.

Good Health by Inheritance.

My father and mother were both of per- fect heajthand strength. They never knew what it was to be sick, or to be unable to do the days work when the day came, or to eat their victuals at eight, twelve, four, and eight o’clock—four mealsa day, When we were born, at intervals of leas than two years, my mother always had a woman to see to things about a week; but the next week she did all her work just as usual. A deep-chested, light-footed woman, with ared bloom on her cheek —a clear, gray light in her eyes—a voice that was music- she possessed the greater and finer nature; but my father was a brown-eyed, sturdy little fellow as this world ever held Then the second thing 1 think of is the way my mother managed us through our childhood. She never heard a lecture or read a book about health in her life that | know of, but she had a code of traditions and instincts to which she held always, She whitewashed her cottage from top to bottom with quicklime twice a year, and once a year painted all the woodwork. We slept on chaff-beds; but she always cleaned them out in the spring, and got new chaff; always had her whole little stock of linen white and pure to wear and to sleep in, and once a week while we were small put us through untold torments with yellow soap and the most intolerable towels, ‘‘Who hath red eyes? Who hath contention? Who hath strife?’ The boys who have to go into a tub, witha woman like my mother to work it. Then she gave us plenty to eat; oatmeal porridge and blue milk in the morning, oatmeal porridge and blue milk at night, a very little piece of meat at noon with plenty of soup and potatoes, and on rare days dumplings, oat cake to fill up all the erevices — and wheaten bread about twice a week. Butter we were supposed to have or. Sunday, but we all agreed that she scraped more off than she puton. We knew what tea and coffee was, but it never hurt our nerves or kept us awake nights; and every spring she made a wonderful specific of brimstone, molasses, and cream of tartar—a kind of infernal sweet meat, which, with salts and senna, when we were supposed to need some, and a pleasant drink in April made of new nettle, no doubt in her sure faith pre- served our precious lives. Good shoes, and sto~kings of her own knitting; two suits of clothes warm and stout, with a prophecy in them of the growth we were to attain before they were worn out, one suit for Sunday, the other for week days, with no distinction between summer and winter; and Hobson's choice of the wholesome fare; that was the very way our wise strong mother gathered her breod under her wings, and bred them into sturdy cheils and buirdly hizzies.— Rev. Robert Collyer, in Home Science for May.

The Southwestern cattle drive is expect- ed to be very successful this year.
