Between the hills which abound iu this country lie fertile vales, and in those you find extensive cattle ranches, The beeves reared here are the admira- tion of everyoue, so excellent is the grazing land.

Steps are being taken to pro- tect the animal from destruction. There are likewise elk and grouse in swarm, the ‘ blue’ and ihe * willow’; the latter is identical, at least in flav of with the prairie chicken. The grizzly bear is found upon the mountains, and the blac k | bear upon the Island of Vancouver. ‘You have plenty of territory for the anticipated influx of population.” ** Yes, we could put the whole of Can- jada there.”’ ‘THE FISHERIES of the Province are an important source of industry ?” ‘Yes; and the Fraser River supplies the most important, namely, the salmon. But there are severai lesser rivers, too, which yield salmon, and, strange to say, the fishes from each river show distinct peculiarities, so much so that it is easy to tell by looking ata fish to what river it belongs. Sturgeon are found on the sand-heads of the Fraser, The Fraser is navigable to Yale, upwards of 100 miles by steamers, and it rarely closes.” “The coast fishery, too, is important, is it not?” ‘Yes; including fine turbot, sole, flounder, cod, shrimp, herring, Euglish whiting, oyster, and clam. The lobster has no crawled around to us yet. There is a species of shark got about Queen Charlotte Island, and from its live er an excellent lubricating oi) is got.’ “Ts there not much done in catching the FUR SEAL?” ‘Yes; the fur seal is goto Vancouver 'Tsiand is considerable quantity.

We have no extremes, living ina happy medium. In the hottest part of summer’ the people sleep under blankets, and wear woollen underclothing the year round. It is true there are moun- tain peaks which wear an_ everlasting wreath of snow, but we are not parched with extreme frosts.” Mr. Higgins likewise stated that wild swans are found in the Fraser River ; that sea fow] swarm around the waters of the coasts in wiuter ; that the people of British Columbia have brigh t hopes for the future, but that that future is ¢ contingent apes the progress of the railwary. In reply to an observation on the CHINESE QUESTION. Mr. Higgins stated that he was not in favor of Chinese labor, becsuse though in- ferivr to the white man’s labor, it was brought into competition, and necessarily unfair competition, with the latter; that among the Chinese’ people there are laws within laws; that to endeavor to punish a malefactor is a hopeless task; for, with the most expressionless face, the Chinaman will tell the most downright lies ; that one will never turn Queen’s evidence against another, rather chrough fear than through love ; that they live in dirty dens like pigs, the debased ones smoking opium,and seem- ing to hate pure air ; while the respectable Chinese are thrifty and respectable citizens. a <-.. Mr. Topnoody waa sitting by the kitchen stove the other night, meditatively gazing upon his wife, who was busy finishing up the work for the day. “‘Mrs. Topnoody, how old are you!’ he said at last in an abstract kind of way. “How oldam I, Topnoody!’ ‘That's a pretty question to ask your own wife.” ‘Yes, how old are you?’ he repeated without noticing the interruption. “What do you want to know that for!” “Oh, Iwas just wanting to know for fun.” ‘“‘For fun, eh, Topnoody? Weil, I can’t tell you in years exactly, but I’m just that old that if’ I had been that old when you asked me to marry you; I'd have been five hundred thousand years older before you would have gt me. Now do you know how old I am?’ Topnoody resumed his meditation and began to whistle sofily, ‘Darling, 1 am growing old.’ “~~ Tue half- -yearly statement of “the Bank o Montre al shows the protits for the year end- ding April last were $1,452,759—or a fraction over 12 per cent.
