4H !" rB' ; THE INDEPENDENT. ..... ' tnUflBOBO ; : ; : : ;THUBSbAY. We learn thaG. WV C. Templar, Dnnbar, has asserted that w 'made up" 'tint a'tdrj about "A Worthy Chaplain On a bust," and that we "published the same out of taaliee for the Order of Good Terr- plars." In the first place that story was not "made np"J by us or anybody else, but was sent us by a corres pondent for publication. And it was true. We can give the name of the 'Worthy Chaplain" if it is necessa ry. In the second place, as to publishing the story out of malice, we deny the 'charge. We are friend ly to all temperance societies. For proof of this tnc pfclnt our readers to our course as a journalist. To car Injury financially, we have even been aggressive in dealing with intemper ance. Instead of publishing the WorthyChaplain out of malice," we did it for the good of the Order, for the good of the Worthy Chap lain," and for the information of our readers. And we hereby give fair Warning to those who get drunk and thereby make public property of themselves, tb&t we shall give them notice in our columns free of charge if we choose. Financially such a course is unwise, but it suits us. We al ways espect to be misrep: e sented and misunderstood by a small class of conscientious and hoi et people who are always radical and always narrow ; who can neither take a joke nor hear afact that refects on themselves, a member of their party, or on their creed. They will gnaw a file and it is no use to glY them gingerbread. They are bound for the Kingdom and everybody else for the DeviL We have no disposi 10 1 to pet them because we know it is useless. AN INTERESTING COMMUNICATION. Victoria and its Surroundings Great Guns, Recepton, Whisky and Flunkeyism. VicroaiA, B. C. , March 1 , 1878. Kd. Independent! Thinking that a few items from this part of Her Maj esty's Dominions might be of inter est to your readers I write you, but more as a friend than a correspond ent. I left Portland early Monday mor ning last and arrived at Olympia, W. 1, -Wednesday evening, btopping one day by the way Leaving Olympia at 9 p. m. on the new line, U. S Mail Steamer Favorite," M. P. Moore Purser and mail on tract or, stopping at all way ports to change mail, we arrived at Port Townsend, the last town. before you reach Victoria, at 3 p. m. Thurs day, where, owing to the high wind, we were compelled to lay to until 11 p. m., when we sailed, reaching this port at 3 o'clock Friday morning. I have spent the last four days wandering around among the ruins of a once great and magnificent city (1867-8-0. I visited "Squimault", or the Naval Dock Yard, Friday. It is situated about three miles north west of town on St. James bay and will be as enduring as time, as it is founded on the solid rock. The buildings are neat one-story struc tures built without style or regulari ty. . There are about a dozen old guns lying around loose in this place. A Sergeant, my conductor, assured me that one or two of these old guns would throw a ball six miles with great accuracy. The others, he claimed, were extremely dangerous, and dwelt at length on a contrivance whereby the soldier could spike a dozen of them in an incredibly shcrt space of time if pursued too closely by an enemy. I mildly Informed him that that might be a very useful in vention for his Government but on 'imr oiae we would nave no use for it as we never started in to fight with the intention of running. A (mall man-of-war was in port but being a little timid after seeing such piles of shot and dangerous guns I did not .venture on board. , The harbor is small but admirably sit uated being protected on all sides by a high range of hills. I next visited the Government buildings situated "over the bridge," a small arm of the bay. The grounds embrace some five or six acres, the buildings some twelve or fifteen in number, all small one-story stfructuresfone or two exceptions,) with very flat roofs and eaves pro jecting about four feet, lor what pur pose I do not know; if for ornament it is a failure, if to protect the brick walls, it is well, as the brick ere of an inferior quality. The Governor's mansion looms up in the brush about a mile from town, and as I did not get nearer than a quarter of a mile 1 am unable to dercribe "these Hendqurters." ' The customs and manners of the people are much the same as with us. Goods, and merchandise of all kinds except tobacco es are about the same price as here. All monied transac actions, except with Government, are made in U. S. coin. The Livery man gave me a ten dol'ar British bill this afternoon in change. I bought a cigar the first opportunity to eee if it was not a fraud but found it all O. K. I notice quite a num ber of very n:e residence? but none that will cempee with the more el gant in Portland. The merchants with one accord close their stores at 6 p. m. and open at 7 or 8 a. m. On Saturday they close at non and open at u on iuonaay. . it e Drew friend up town says that this is the most pious town he ever saw : that a man is expected to go to church three times on Sunday and two or three times during the week. I judge however from his use of a Tory expressive adjective that he has failed to fulfill their expectations.' I visited the old Hudson Bay Go's headquarters to-day. It is a large brick building about 50x100 feet squnre and five stories high, where an immense amount of business has been transacted in by-gone days, but alas, its glory has departod. The Marine Hospital and Deaf, Di mb and Blind Asylum are situated across tl e bay on a - rocky point. They are kept clean and the unfor tunate inmates look as though they are well cared for. A grand reception was given the Premier Friday evening last and all the dignitaries of the Province were there, to the number of a hun dred and fifteen. Speeches and toasts were made, an I a vast deal of whisky was drunk, all in honor of the aforesaid gentleman. Parliament opened to-day with a great furor, display of militia, firing salutes, etc., etc.; and yet the Brit ish philosophers laugh at American Fourth of July spread-eagle patriot ism! A vast amount of self-glorification will be indulged in judging from the remarks made at the reception spoken of above. The fare on the Sound is extreme ly low now one dollar for all way porta and five dollars from hereto Olympia. Yours.respectfully, W. H. S. Resolutions of-Condolence. At a regular meeting of Wapato Grange, No. 90, held on Feb. 27, the following resolutions was passed and a copy of the same ordered printed in the Independent. Whereas Brother C. C, Cowles has been called through the relentless hand of death by the great Master of all assemblies to leave our coun cil here, as we believe, to enter that rest that remains for the people of God; therefore Resolved, That while we miss liitit in our councils and deeply sympa thize with his bereaved wife and fam ily in their loss of a loving husband and father, we commend them to His care who doth all thiDgs well and who has said, there is not a spar row falls tpithe ground without his notice, but we sorrow not as those who have no hope for we believe that in this dispensation of Provi dence our loss is Bro. Cowles' gain. W. G. Scoogin, Chairman Com. Good for tne Cornelius Boys. CoastLICg, March 3, 1875. Mr. Editor:-! am inwardly moved to say something through your aper concerning the revival meetings held at Cornelius the past two weeks by Rev. J. W. Miller. All classes, old and young, in the church and out of it, have been benefited by it. Al though I am not a church member yet I am a lover of good, and feel just like saying a few words of com- Waa 4 . at. menaataiion in oenan ox tne young people. Their orderly conduct is worthy of all praise. On the first evening of the meeting Elder Miller remarked that he was much pleased Witfu the excellent good order. The next day aft the people me for wor ship at 2 o'clock the boys were hav ing an interesting game of ball on the playground by the school build ing where the services were held; but assoon as worship commenced, the boys being placed upon their digni ty and self-respect the evening before, withdrew from the play-ground. At the cldsi of evening Service he made some pleasing allut-ions to the game of ball and commended the young men for the respect that they had that day showed toward the worship of God by ceasing tieir innocent sport. Kind words did what reproof never could have done, and the best of order was observed at all the meet ings. Intelligence and good order will influence people in the selection of a home among us and hereby add to our numbers and business. May the young men and lads of Cornel ius ever retain their good name. B. T. Phillips. A Hard Bed to Fill. The junior editor of the Gallatin is noted for his modesty. When school-boys, he and the writer were inseparable companions, probably because we both stood in such holy awe Of "the girls." A pair of mis chievous black eyes would stampede us quicker than "a big dog." One day "Bob" was sent to neighbor Shaw's to inquire about some straw for filling beds, and ot course the writer went with him. Mr. Shaw was the father of six hateful girl, who had rather laugh at a fellow than not, and w'len wa arrived they wcrfa all seated at dinner. I dodged behind the corner, while Bob edged carefully in at the door, and with a scared look stammered : "Mr. Straw, can 3 ou let me have enough Shaw to fill mv bed?" "Well, R ," said the old gen- j tlenian glancing around the circle of j astonished faces, "I suppose so. j Here are six beside the old woman; but I'd rather vou would leave her it - i the girls will be sufficient. Take them j all and God bless you." j Perfect shrieks of laughter went m .1 1 yup irom inose mean uings, aim R "took to his heels, followed by the writer and cries from the old man to come back and he'd "throw in the old woman too."
