THE WESTERN PACIFIC RAIL WAY

Tbe western portion of the great pro r| vicce of Canada has just been opened to settlers by a magnificent railway, — a rail way wbichrunsin acont_nuoualinefor3oso and which connects the Atlantic and miles, Paoifio Oceans. On every side, too, it , reaches out mighty arms to bear north or sonth the wlshedfor settlers. Here the farmer may cultivate hiß fields to ad- > vantage— sore, too, \of being able to send ! his grain to distant markets ; and the ! sportsman will find game such as his soul desires on the great ranges of the , Canadian Alps. "We wil endeavor to give our readers some slight description of this new line, and of the country it openß, trusting that those who are tempted to try their fortunes m California or Florida may be led by it to prefer the far saf er and more profitable North-West of Canada. About eighteen years ago the British Provinces m North Amerioa were united ln a Federation, called the Dominion. One of the earliest ambitions of the new nation was to make a railway, within Canadian territory, that|.hould penetrate tbe Fertile North-West, and bear the products of their oountry to eastern mar kets. The Government commenced one, and had constructed seven hundred miles of rail when it was judged ad vie* able to resign it to a oompany, ' The Canadian Pacific,' who have at length oompleted lt, and will soon have steamers ready at its Pacific terminus to bear its grain, wood, copper, silver, gold, and ron to China, India, Australia, eto. Starting from Ottawa, the new portion of the line passes Nlplssin and other l»kes, and runs westward to the northern f. y ore of Lake Superior, outting its way f first through the mighty prlmreval rest, and then ascending till tbo blue ter lies far below, glittering m the 1 ; while from the gr ( at headlands _oh jut from the northern ohalu of . ontaina iu to the lake dash numbers of .arklins! cascades and from its many ands rise olouds of waterfowl. Then bridging great chasms and travers ing wonderlul tunnels, the line runs on till it reaches its lake terminus at Port Arthur, on Thunder Bay. Starting thence it enters the old bunting ground of Trapper and Red Indian, rife with many a legend, and there opens before tbe traveller's gaze a thousand miles of level and rloh praiileß (the Red River Valley), and on either eide of the line are dotted villages or farms, smiling with plenty ; these continue till, at the foot of the Rocky Mountain., fields of grain are ohanged for well filled pastures. Now the line enters a great mountain land of 650 miles Id extent passing between gorges over-shadowed by tbe great ice-crowned hills, the Bockles. The line enters the mou-tainous province of British Colum bia, by atcendtng the Bow River, about 160 miles north cf the boundary, to itß source ami_Bt the nummits of the main ranges. Itis carried then, by a pei feet marvel of engineering skill along the cataracts of the great Kicking Horse River, and climbß Btraight over the Selklrkß. It would be difficulty to des cribe the beauty of this mountain scenery. 'A sea of mountains' towering above the train when m the gorges, ' and crowned, says our aathority, by glaciers to whioh those of the Alps are inaighi Scant. From beoeath the clear green loe crystal cascades come down tbe mountain sides In enormous leaps. Forests of gigantic trees reaoh far up the sides of thb mountains ; great rivers tush through the dark gorges or widen into lakeß.'

A WELL-TRAINED HORSE

Horses can be trained to do almost anything, and there are instances on reoord where they have been trained to assist m highway robbery . In the year 1750 a Scottish lawyer made a trip to London. The lawyer, when about to return, went to Smithfield, then a famous horse market, and purchased a handßome animal at so low a price tbat he im mediately suspected that there was some defect or blemish. But when the hor_e wbb put to his paces he behaved bo well that the lawyer congratulated himself on having obtained co good a beast at so low a figure. When he rt ached Flnley Com mon, then a noted Bpot for highwaymen, he met m a hollow which lay between two slight ascents a clerlcal-lcoking gentleman driving to town m a one-horae chelae. The road was solitary, not a creature m sight, when the lawyer's horse astonished its rider by making a sudden manoeuvre by which he brought his hind quarters close to the ohaise and so stopped it, proving at once what the profeesion of hiß former owner had been, as well as his own complicity m the highwayman's art. The clergyman, believing of a certainty that a robber as well as his horse was at hand, produoed his purse at onoe, assuring the astonished lawyer that it was quite unnecessary to use violence, sb he would ofler no resistance. - The lawyer spurred up bis horse, and with many apologies to the terrified clergyman prooeeded on his journey. Very shortly afterwards he met a stage coaoh, and the horse by tbe . ame manoeuvre brought it to a stand. The poor lawyer was looked upon as a high* wayman, a blunderbusß was aim. d at his head, and he was threatened with death by the passengers. In short, whenever opportunity for robbing occurred, and after the lawyer's life had been repeatedly endangered by tbe suspicions which the conduct of his horse naturally gave rise to, and bis liberty threatened by the peace officers, who were about to take him up as a notorions highwayman to whom, of a truth the horse had formerly belonged, the lawyer was obliged to part with him for* a trifle, and to per* chase at a high cost one which though far less beautiful, had not been trained m those oriminal habits m which the other had become an expert adept.—-" New Orleans Picayune.

ANOTHER STRANGE STORY

Another strange story cornea tr> ns from Paris, which, had it occurred to the ima gination of our romancers, might have been S Jit tie fortune to it poseeasor The police, it seems, arrested, one morning, a drunken cock, who was found to be m possession of a large Bum m gold, and he being asked for explanations, told the following tale— namely, how that taunter ing one day near the Central Market, he was accosted by a irell-dreeßed man, who asked him if he would like to torn an honest penny, Not being averse to this proposal, he accompanied his patron to a large house m the Rue de Rivol, and being conducted into a private room, he vfai abiuptJy addressed thus, " Mon gaic,on, you mast kill me!" For the moment the oook thought he bad got hold of a madman, but the explanation wan well—reasonable enough — if you like, viz, that he, the individual desiring extinction, had unfortunately been specu lating with hia mother's money, and had d roppad something to the tune cf 120,000 franca. His life, however was insured up to 200,000, bo that his death, other than by hh own hand, would recoup his parents and leave a handtomd Burplus. Animated by this filial motive, therefore he was williog, he said, to give his murderer 30,000 francs, and he then and there ottered an instalment of 2000, and this amount the cook accepted, promising to cell the next day and fulfil the con tract. However when the time drew near courage failed him ; and the same evening having drunk freely, he was, as already stated, arrested, and made a confession. Next day the police accompanied him to the huuße, and there sure enough, found the weald-be snicide, for suoh m efieot he was, and at orce arrested him on the UvUbJ? charge U inciting to crime acd

?eeking to de r r->nd the insurance office. This was rather sn unexpeot.d result} and the disappointed man heaped bitter ••ei.roaches on the head of his bttrayer. The story strange as it is, seema to be per fectly troe, and I think it will bo agreed, if offers tbe basis for a capital sensational novel of the first water.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

A Taranaki contemporary has a very suggestive aiticle on the public school « system m the United States and m New Zealand, which is deserving of ( careful consideration by the educa tionists of this colony, m order tbat the mistakes which have been made m i America may be avoided here. It is asserted that as respects the United States an " increasing number of people regard the much-vaunted public school system as a failure, and m proof of that assertion " the testimony of a teacher of great experience, and also that of Governor Hill of New York State is cited. The first-mentioned of these authorities, who has been a teacher for forty years m tbe public schools — and for half that time as a principal — con demns the system upon three grounds, viz. : — First, the absence of moral train ing 5 second, its tendency to make children too sharp, impertinent, and in dependent ; third, its influence m creat ing among boys and girls an aversion to manual labor ; while Governor Hill, after stating that "reliable statistics prove that a large majority of all skilled workmen m the State of New York are of foreign birth, but few native born Americans being found m any of the more prominent industries," goes on to say " there is a conviction that our public school system is largely responsible for our present condition m this respect." Writing on the same subject the " Detroit Free Press " states the cause of complaint . very clearly as follows :— " Neither the boys nor the girls taught (we won't say educated) m the public schools want to take hold of actual work for a living. Very lew of the boys are willing to learn trades, especially if they are kept at school long enough to get notions about being ' gentlemen.' Nearly all expect to get into some light occupa tion, something ' respectable,' and not requiring them to soil their hands or wear workshop clothing. They are willing to be book-keepers, or sales men, or general ' clerks,' or to be taken into banks, and many of them have an eye on brokers' offices m Wall street, and many more on the offices the politicians are always fighting for. But they don't want to turn to and learn to be carpenters, or blacksmiths, or plumbers, or bricklayers, or stone- ; cutters, or anything else that means a steady day's work with the hands. This is partly why New York is swarming j to-day with fairly taught young men looking for situations as clerks, or book keepers, or as conductors on the street cars, or as canvassers of all sorts, und unable to get them. These thousands were produced largely by a false educa tion, twenty to thirty years ago, and we are producing other thousands, many more thousands to- day to replace them when they go. \ As for the girls, does anyone suppose that a public school girl would think of going out to domesticjservice ? Good 1 house servants can get from 15 dollars to 20 dollars per month, with good food ' and comfortable homes, but the public _ school girl would rather die first than , take employment of that kind. If . actually obliged to earn her giving she > will become a sales-lady, or learn some > light trade, or do copying or typewrit ' ing or telegraphing, neither of whicb, I perhaps, will pay her as well m the long run ; but hire out m a family she will not, under any circumstances. If > her parents are able to keep her at home 1 this girl is often a nuisance and burden. • She does not want to do any of the I household work, but she does want . to be well dressed and to go out , a great deal. The chances are : that she wants a piano, too. While • going to school she heard other girls talk of having pianos, and per haps some of her friends have these instruments of torture, and she must also have one. So, maybe, a piano is , hired (father or mother could not possibly buy one) at 5 dollars or 6 dollars a month, ahd then the parlors must be re-lurnished, the old things look so shabby beside the piano, and ' a carpet and some new furniture are bought on the instalment plan, which , means double price, and so it goes on 1 till the hard-working father and slave of 1 a mother are at their wits' end to keep ' the pot boiling. We do not charge all 1 this to the public schools, but they are undoubtedly responsible for a large I part of it, anyway. The plain public , schools of thirty or forty years ago , weTe, m the main, an excellent insti -1 tution, but the fancy public schools of to-day are m some respects a posi tive evil. Instead of fitting our , youth to earn a living, they , unfit them to a large extent, and tend to make idlers m place of workers." Now, to quote again from Governor Hill, " Any system of public education that does not fit our youth to earn a living is a failure," and he is un doubtedly right m suggesting that, m addition to book-learning, the schools should afford " some preparation ior that labor to which a great majority m all countries are destined." In a word, the aim of the schools should be not only to impart head- knowledge, but to prepare the youth of the country for the work of life, and m order to that one of the first necessities is to incul cate correct views of the dignity of labor, the honorableness of honest toil. We fear that there is little or no attempt at this m the New Zealand, any more than m the American public schools, and that thousands of boys and girls are growing up with a con tempt for all occupations which do not fall into tbe category of the " genteel." If so, then the result must be here what it evidently is m the States, viz., that both sexes will turn away from the useful occupations of their parents, and seek to crowd into the already over thronged and poorly-paid ranks ol clerks, shopmen, saleswomen, and governesses. Such a result of our school system would be a national calamity, and it will be well, therefore^ for those who desire to see that system maintained to discern tbe danger ahead, and, guided by the beacon light of the experience of others, steer clear of the rocks which threaten ship wreck to the public school system of America .

Medical. S~\ N E WORD. Dbab Friends — We have some hesita- tion m addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at m any invidious light, when we state that it Is only our kegard for, your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have iv the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on eolentlho formula and absolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyerl a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been ln this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock s New Liver PHI. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock's New Liver PUls. The reason of this de- mand is because we find m Baydock' New Liver Pills a wonderfnl and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories cf Soience — Electrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for disease- and claiming muoh sb to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyre the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with or._ or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay* dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfect order oreateß an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, lt is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Prov see of Burmah, 8.1.
