We greet thee with a mingled joy and fear, Knowing thou hastfor us both thorns and flowers; And as we blindly meet each new-born day, We ask for guidance o’er the untried way. Welcome, New Year! Faith bids each heart be strong, For God will order all that comes with thee. To Him we leave it, giad to march along, Feeling that w hat is best alone will be. And as we onward pass, kind wishes fall, That this may prove a happy year for all. _—__ > > See _ News Notes. Diphtheria and scarlet fever are in portions of Dakota. Des spatches from Rio Janeiro via Lisbon show that very sericus opposition to the Republic has been manifested, and that there has been some fighting. The crowning discovery of the late Stan- ley expedition is the extension of the broad Victoria Nyanza, ‘‘six thousand square miles” in excess of the area assigned it by all previous expeditions. This makes the Victoria Lake, perched as it is more than 1,000 feet above the level of the sea, the most important, if not the largest reservoir on the globe. Since civilization has always developed most rapidiy near large navig able waters, this lake region may at some) not gjstant day become a great commercial ceutre. It has been remarked that the meeting of Parliament on January 16th will make it ong of the;four earliest sessions since Con- federation, One was the session beginning 6th November, 1867, the first after Confed- eration. The session which opened 23rd October, 1873, and clused 7th November, witnessed the debate on the Pacific Rail- way and the resignation of the Macdonald Government. The session which opened 9h December, 1880, was called for the pur- pose of ratifying the contract with the C. P. R. syndicate. The coming session 18) likely to be a fairly important one. ‘fhe imports into British Columbia for the first eleven months of the year are stated to be as follows: Butter and cheese, 194,863 lbs.; fruits, 1,601,765 ibs.; veget- ables, 1,396,996 ibs.; breadstuffs, 6,148,518 lbs.; biscuits, 235,520 Ibs.; eggs, 67,529 dozens; cattle and horses, 648 head; hogs, 1,891 head, and sheep, 22,941. These figures indicate a promising future cultivation of agriculture in the province which has much fertiie land suitable both for farming and sheep-raising, They show raging also that British Columbia opens to the far- ' mers of the Northwest Territories a good market for the products of mixed farming and fruit-growing. The population of England and Wales, according to the last report of the register- general shows some remarkable features. rhe population is estimated at 28,600,000. The birth rate forthe year was 30.6 per 1,090 persons living and the death rate 17.8 per 1,000. The bi rth rate is the lowest in th 1e fifty years since tae was estab- lished. The death rate is also the lowest on record, and one a decline of 10 per | cent. on the average of 10 preceding years. There are 750,000 more women than men | in England and Wales, and as only 1,038 baby boys were born to every 1,000 baby virls there is small prospect of the numbers being soon equalized. The New York board of health makes public some points in regard to the treat ment of Russian influenza which it may be well to keep in mind. It advises victims to spray the affected membrane wits a ten per cent. sulution of quinine freely and frequently, aad take, tour or five times a day, a pill made as follows : Quinine, three grains; camphor, one-half grain; extract of belladonna, one-quarter grain.” One p: st more shuuid be added, and that is that be fore trying this prescription one shoul make sure he has ‘la grippe.” tv opinions of druggists of New York city, the above prescription is worse than the) disease. Druggist Paulsen, of that city, refused to till the prescription a few days igo, on the ground that it was dangerous to lite. Le Temps recently contained import- | ant article on the position of the French government with regard to the conversion of Egyptian preference loan from 5 per cent to 4 per cent stock, as to sed early in the year by Sir Edgar Vineer It re- ports that the government intim ited to the minister that they will no longer} British insist upon the evacuation of Egypt by England as a condition to its assent to the conversion of this portion of the Egyptian debt, bat may consent if En; gland initiates the process of evacuation by withdrawing | part of her troops; and if it is agreed that the profit of the conversion be applied to[ the purpose of strengthening the Egyptian army, it is calculated that the saving to the} Egyptian treasury by this reduction will be equal to $800,000 a year ; this money spent upon the Egyptian army would admit of aa important reduction in the effective force of the British army, without endangering any interest that the army protects. As the Marquis of Salisbury hitherto refused to ne- getiate upon the ground of military occu- pation and the debt peers the same ques stion as England claims the retirement of her forces would be jullowtid by the overruning of Egypt from the Soudan, the prospects for the aeceptance of the French proposi- tion is not promising.

The secretary asks for over hinety-seven millions for vext year, and, in reporting eighty-nive millions as paid this year, he states a million and a half of that sum was received by pension attorneys, New Zealand has had its period of de- pression, but seems now to be recovering from that unsatisfactory condition of affairs, and the pregress made by the colony in the past thirty years is being brought into pro- winenee. Certainly the figures for that length of time tella flattering tale. The population grew from 32.000 to 607,300; the revenue from £146,000 to £3,850,000; the people's savings from £7,800 to £7,860, - 000; the exports from £450, 000 bo £7,860, - 000: the woo! exports from £250,000 to £3,1156,008; sheep from 1,520,000 to 16,- 509,000.
