Lord Lome missed his opportunity of impressing his name upon the history of Oaniula, but it ap* pears Canada has expressed itself upon him. Iu an address to the electors of the new Borough of Hainpstead, for which he is a candidate, ho argued that the experience lio hod gained as governor- general of Canada was a qualification for a Liberal candidate. He was not ashamed to say that his mind had been considerably influenced by what he hat) seen there as to free churches and free schools, He expressed himself iu favor of the disestablishment of tho Church of Scotland.—Globe. "■■ Altpr Gen. Grant's death, a letter -mis found on Ins petton containing his last farewell to his wife, and in it were then touching - words:— "Look after our dear children, and direct them in the paths of rectitude, tt would distress me fnr more to think that one of them could depart from an honorable, upright and virtuous life than it would to know that they were prostrated on a bed of sickness from which they were never to rise alive. They have never given, us iny cause for alarm on their account, nnd I earnestly pray they never will. With these few injunctions, and thc knowledge I have of your Jove suul affection, I bid you a final farewell until wo meet in another and, 1 trust, a better world." To twenty-eight families of Dukes, ^numbering 519 relatives who have ihcld 1,013 offices during the last thirty-five years, the large sum of -$48,000,000 has been paid. Mai- ■quises, representing thirty-three 'families and having 626 relatives .monopolizing 1,252 offices, have ■drawn something over $41,000,000 •during the same period. Earls are :a most greedy set and a numerous .one. Two hundred Earls have exerted their patronage in favor of 3,391 relatives, who have enjoyed the sweets of nearly 6,000 comfortable posts, which have entailed an expense to the country of more than $240,000,000. Viscounts, to tho total of sixty, with 963 relatives installed in 1,500 offices or so, have swept into their pockets the nice little sum of §56,000,000, and 21.1 Barons, last iu ordor of precedency, but not numerically, have secured for 2,492 "connections" more thnn 4,000 preferments, of tlm aggregate value of $155,000,000. In other words, 532 aristocratic families with 7,991 relatives, have got hold of 13,888 offices, which are kept up at un annual charge* upon the British taxpayers of about $16,000,000.— London Cor. Phila. Press, On the whole, the rebellion will do good, lt wilt render necessary a searching inquiry into the system of government of the North-West, the system of Indian agencies, and the means to be employed for the future ruling of the country. Immigration may be checked for a year or two, but in future the immigrant will be safer than he lias ever been before. Prince Albert and Battleford have no doubt suffered heavily, but settlers generally will have benefitted by the visit of the troops, while the insurrection has united in one common cause all the provinces of the Dominion; battalions from Manitoba, Ontario, the Maritime Provinces, nnd Quebec, have served side by sido in the Held; nnd while French Canadians may reasonably hope thut their blood relations may have a fair trial, they have as loyally condemned the rebellion as the people of Ontario. The military experience gained will be valuable. When the campaign commenced the militia department knew nothing of the capabilities of its officers iu -the field; uow many reputations have been mnde, and it will know iu future what commanders it can rely on. The faults of the militia systom have beeu brought into relief, and every good Canadian soldier must hope that the depart-. ment which hns done so well will seize the opportunity of disallowing, onco for all, the uniuilitnry outside influences, whicli through custom have so often prevailed in purely military questions. It has been General Middleton's lot to command the first volunteer or civilian sol diors who have beeu in action, and most gallantly have men and officers done their work. The men of his force wero almost universally of the same clnss ns our English volunteers—clerks iu offices, mechanics, tradesmen. They were not soldiers hy trade. Excellent material, splendid marchers, apt to learn, possessed of much hnudiness and ingenuity, FORFsAlTI VOLUME 28 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1885. NUMBER 18 especially with thp ux^.butj.unaccustomed to thework required of them, and. with no time allowed them to gain experience, lhey weint straight from their homes into action, The risk of much loss of life in a force so composed is an exceptionally heavy risk for ft coninmnder to incur, and no riian in General Middloton's-column is likely to forget tlieir chief's generous solicitude for the safety of his troops. "Ah unseen enemy is always a trying one, especially for an inexperienced force. Tho Metis nover showed themselves, but though good shots at short ranges, in other points they were contemptible. They never.attacked a convoy, they never cut met wire behind us, and though thp Indians and "Breeds" ure born mounted infantry, who can shoot as wall from their horses as on foot, they never harassed us on the march. Possibly thewii*it df grass fyrtheirlibrtes, owing to the earliness of the season, may account for this, but it would seem as if they intended only to defend their homes against invasion. At fish-'Greek they met us on their frontier, at Batocho they fought us on their own doorstep. They were badly armed with n certain number of repeating Winchester rifles, but many old smooth 'bores, they _v6fo short of itmniuiii'tiony riua 'it ts doubtful if the force with Riel ever numbered ,700 men, Indians and "Breeds'* combined/ ■-Tne-*prisoners they took they treated well, and they respected \\it>, dpudt -f; X-tftf Melgund, in MneteeiiHfi'Centutj/!- '-* r Delayed Telegrams.

Phila ma nil a, Aug. 17.—A boiler explosion hns occurred on the steamer S. M. Keltnii, off thu Chestnut-street wharf, and sovoral persons have beon seriously injured. Thu explosion occurred just after she had left her dock on hor trip to Wilmington, Delaware. As she wns opposite pier 8, the pns- eengors and crew were startled by an explosion which shook tho boat from stem to slorn, aud whon tho smoke cleared away it was found that tho entire forward pnrt of the vesiel above tho water-line had been badly damaged, and a number of passengers injured, somo of them seriously. Tlio pilot- limine and Hio entire tipper deck* wero lifted uud foil to tho lower dock. The uimv presented n scolio of complete wreck. Tugs proceeded at once to tho injured vessel, and with tho assistance of the polico tug, Wm. S. Stokoly, which was lying near by, at once proceeded tu remove the injured. The cause of the explosion as yet ia uncertain, The persona who were standing on the pier declnru that they distinctly noticed nu udor of gunpowder. There has been considerable rivalry betweon file Kelt un aud other b-iats runuinu to Wilmington, and it is reported that •tiinu malicious person placed explosives ou tho deck.

The growth of St. Paul and Minneapolis during the past fi yenrs has been vesy remarkable. In 1880 the population of St. Paul wns 41,- 173 and of Minneapolis 46,887. Now Minneapolis hns 129,200 and St. Paul 111,397. The increase in five years has beon nearly 200 per cent, which has probably never beon equalled by the most booming American city. Fifteen years ago the combined population of the two cities was 33,090; now it is 240,597. Like almost every other public question, the disposal of Kiel is rapidly being turned into a purely political issue. Opposition journals Beek to fasten upon the government the whole responsibility of the re bellion, and it must be confessed that mnny things are coming to light looking in that direction. It is believed that the people and politicians of Quebec will bring influence enough to bear upon Sir John Macdonald to force him to save Riel from the gallows, lt seems quite impossible for Canadians to discuss any question now without importing into the discussion tlio bitterest political prejudice. quiet family and friendly pic-nics. We are of thc opinion that sucli a day ought to be appointed in this city, and that it ought to be appointed soon. Wo are passing through the dullest part of the season so far as trade is concerned. The busy season will soon be upon n»s, when produce of all kinds begins to come in from the furming regions. We have bad no holiday, and a holiday once in u while would be a most welcome variety from the monotony of business engagements. Will some of our citizens take this matter in hand, and by general consent let a day be fixed. It should be as nearly as possiblo in the middle of the week—say Wednesday or Thursday. Let tho fact be properly advertised for one or two weeks in advance, so that outsiders may know that there will be no shops open on that dny. Then let us enjoy the liberty of u day's freedom from the busy cares of lifo, and drink in health and recreation from whatever source wc may fancy best suited to our tastes. Let us have a civic holiday. Produce mid Stock. From all parts of the province the harvest this season is reported unusually large. Of such kinds of produce us arc generally grown in the country there seems promise of abundance, and in some lines it is possible a surplus may remain when the wants of tlie country have been supplied. There is a doubt in the minds of many people whether farming operations have not been developed more rapidly than the circumstances of the country would justify. We aro so far from the centres of population, or even from the ordinary avenues of travel, that population comes to us very slowly. During the past two or three years immigrants h.ty-i been coming in with a freedom that must be most gratifying to the people of the province; but a large majority of tlie new comers have gone into agricultural pursuits, and tbo difference between the producers and consumers seems to grow wider instead of less. Prices next fall aro likely to rule low. The stimulous of railway construction on a large 3cale will be taken away from tho produce market, and the effect must be felt. Tt is said that some of the large farmers have held ovor considerable quantities of hay and grain from last year because the prices then wero not considered sat* isfactu) . We are of opinion that farmers in this country would find it to thei. interest to go more extensively into stock raising. Tho demand for beef and mutton and pork is large and constant Of mutton and pork wo import large ijuuntitie*- Tliere is no reason why hogs and sheep enough to supply the provincial demand should not be mined in the country. If farmers would embark iu the very profitable industry of raising stock they would be able to consume large quantities of their own farm produce and send it to market in the shape of beef and mutton and pork. At the same time thc farms would be mode richer, and the cost of working them would he diminished. A Civic Holiday. On tho Queen's Birthday most of tho business places in this city were kept open, and neither clerks nor proprietors had a fair opportunity of enjoying the holiday. It was understood that Dominion Day would be the principal holiday, aud then every person would be at liberty to enjoy a full day's recreation. But Dominion Day was spent much the same as the Queen's Birthday, or perhaps more so Business places were not closed, nor were business men or their employees nt liberty to take the benefit of the occasion. The result is thnt tliere has really been no holiday at all in the city this year. In eastern cities and towns it lias become u fixed practice to observe one day during every year as a eivie holiday. These days aw not synchronal, but are selected in each locality to suit the wishes of a majority ot the inhabitants, On civic holidays it is customary for all places of business to closo absolutely, and every person engaged in business is free to spend the duy just as he likes, It is usually a day for excursions to various places within reach, for private or public pic-nics, for base ball, foot J-mII, or orioket matches, and for ST.

Some people have been greatly alarmed occasionally at tho apparent decrease of the foreign trade of Great Britain, as shown by the annual exports. Taken without qualification these trade statistics are a most unsafe basis upon which to construct a theory, lt is known well enough that within the last 10 years there has been nn enormous shrinkage in the values of many staple articles of commerce. A recent issue of the London Economist publishes, for the purpose of comparison, a list of 18 articles with the prices in January 187f> and January 1885. It is an interesting study: Jan. ijiMS. Jan. 1,1885 .£. s. d. £. s.

It is claimed by manufacturers that tliis largo reduction In the value of manufactured articles has not been accompanied by any corresponding reduction in tho rate of wages. As a consequence, the margin of profit is greatly reduced, and many manufacturing establishments have been forced to close their doorr lt is probably true that times are generally best when prices and wages are both high, but there is then a decided disposition on the part of most people to be extravagant and wasteful in expenditure, which lends to financial distress. One of lhe most difficult things to accomplish is to secure a fair and equitable adjustment between the prices of labor and the prices of manufactures. When one goes up the other does not always follow, and when one goes down tho other sometimes stays up. This want of adjustment gives rise to friction between tho two classes representing capital and labor, and the friction tends towards communism. From trade statistics peopl often put together elaborate trade th -s and attempt to persuade the mu. le that protection or free trade ib ■•esponsible for the decrease in exports. As n matter of fact the exports may have increased greatly in quantity, but the figures representing their values, and which alone enter into the tables, may havo decreased. Hence theories are built upon a total misapprehension of" facts, and absurd conclusions are reached. PY/EMIA Is the most virulent form of blood-poison* lug.

'Wednesday night the burglars entered Mr. Draper's residence, tuok about 03 out of Mr. Draper's trousers pockets, and Buine butter out of the pantry. The same night they went into Mr. Chas. J. Robson's, but got only some cold victuals. Thursday night Mr. J. A. R. Homer's outer kitchen was visited and a small quantity of provisions carried off. The police authorities have not yet determined who these burglars are. Evidently they are a hungry lot, but they are not greedy. At every place except Mr. Kells' they have taken grub, but only small quantities. At Mr. Draper's they found a roll of fresh butter which they carefully divided, leaving Mr. Draper enough fur breakfast. It is thought they are Chinamen. There nre a good many six-shooters ready now throughout the city, and tliese prowl- era may meet somewhere with an unexpected reception. Giant's Foot.—A reporter of tlie Colonist was asked by an old-timer the other day if he hnd seen the imbedded impression of a giant foot, while on his Bummer ramble in the interior. Answering in the negative, the questioner said many a pioneer who had travelled over tho old Harrison river route would remember leaving the wagon road at the middle of the valley un tlie Pemberton portage between Harrison and Anderson lake, about 14 milea from Pemberton, to take a look at the curiosity. Fifty feet from tho wagon ruad, now so long disused, and imbedded In tlio solid rock, ia a right foot, eighteen inches in length, indented about a half inch in the hard stone. How it came there and when it oame there are matters that our informant would not venture an opinion upon, but tho Indians have a tradition that the Great Spirit in walk iug stepped on this point, which is the highest in the valley, during the flood and placed his left on the opposite mountain where they say there is the Impression, similar in size to that near the wagon road. That it is an evidence of the prehistoric existence of a rnco of giants instantly strikes the beholder, a race that flourished when this rocky part of the world was in a state of formation,1 How it came und when, scientific inert can conjecture; it will undoubtedly bti visited in the nenr future by hundreds uf tourists anxious to see the mam-bus in nature.— Colonist. Railway Progress. —Rails have beun lnid on the western end tn a point 00 miles wost of the Columbia River. On the eastern end the track iB laid within 40 miles of the Columbia (second crossing). The gap has, therefore, been reduced to 100 miles, nnd in that gup a great part of the road b,ed is- ready for the rails. All the grading up to within 18 miles of tho Columbia on this side will be finished by the middle of September, and by the end of September all the rails on this end will be laid. It is said that there are not rolls enough at Port Moody to complete thc track to the Columbia, and that rails will be brought over tho road from the east. Track is laid at the rate uf about ono mile per day at each ond, and it is not expected there will be any serious interruption. The last spike will be driven ubout the end of October. Upon that occasion it is yxpectod a large number of notables will come over from the cast, although it is not likely there will be any public excursion. After the track has boen joined there will remain n great deal of work before the ruad will bu fairly ready for traflic, and it will probably not be really opened until some time next spring. Iu the meantime the extension and branch at this uud, and the necessary terminal buildings and wharves will be going on su as to bu ready for through trallic. By that time U is expeoted that arrangements will have been completed for putting steamships on thu various routes on the Pacific Ocean. From Chilliwhack. (Correspondence of the Columbian.) This settlement hus beon favored hy a visit from Rev. Dr. Sutherland, Rev. 0. Watson, Rov. Thos. Crosby, Mr. Moore of Toronto, and others, nud the services held have been of mora than ordinary Interest. Ou Sunday morning Dr, Sutherland preached to n very largo gathering on the campground, and in the afternoon the annual missionary meeting was held in the same nlace. It was by all odds the best missionary meeting ever held iu this settlement. Rev. C. Watson presided, and splendid addresses weru delivered by Revs. Dr. Sutherland, Ciosby and Hopkins. Tho financial rimilt was far in advnliau of any former yonr. On Sunday night Rev. Mr. Wiitsou {-reached an eloquent sermon tu a very arge congregation in thu Oeutruiillu church. On Monday night Dr. Siith erlaiul delivered his lecture on "Lexers of Men" to a large aud appreciative audience. Sunday afternoon there was a large gathering uf Indians lu welcome Rev. Mr, Crushy, who delivered a stirring address. The meetings were greatly enjoyed bythe people, and it is bcliovud thu beneficial results will be lasting. I may ray also that all the visitors were much charm- od by what they saw uf the Iio.iuMI.-h and fertility uf Chilliwlmuk. Ci-opH here nre unusually abundant. They were probably never better. Thn fruit crop is unotmous. Plums, peachen, pours, and applus are breaking down thu trees, und so plentiful that bushels of thuni are going to wnsiu. Every farmer is busy in thu hnrvust fluid, but the grain will soon bu all safoly secured. Thu goveinmitnt is clearing the old tulntjmph trail from Upper tu Lower Sumns, and poisons will soon bo able to go over that long iiuglccttid part of thu ruad with teams. It will be a great convenience to these settlements, and will lixuwi-iu opuu up communication by land between Chilliwhack and New Westminster. The Three Americas. Of Into yeare the attention of commercial men nnd manufacturers has been directed to tlio countries south, especially to Mexico nnd Central America. These countries not only contain many millions of population that need supplies and manufactured articles of which our owu country produces a surplus, but are exceedingly rich in natural products nnd mineral wealth. A most potent factor in attracting attention to these countries, and establishing relations of comity and commercial reciprocity with their inhabitants was tho late World's Exposition at New Orleans. Most of these countries were there represented, nnd largo numbers of their citizens were visitors at tho Exposition. The unfortunate delays and difficulties which uttended tho opening and earlier days of tho World's Exposition prevented a full realization of the benefits it was expected to produce. To remedy this a new company has been organized and n new Exposition will be opened. We have received the prospectus of tiio North, Central and South Ameri- 'can Exposition which opens on November the 10th, next. This nuw company has beun organized with a capital of $500,000. It hus purchased the buildings and plant of tho World's Exposition, and is now in posBessioii. It proposes to iimugurato even a greater and more interesting Exposition than the magnificent World's Exposition. The new company starts oilt with the buildings nnd accessories in hand and the grent hulk of their work is already accomplished. Many of the prominent exhibitors at the World's Exposition havo left thoir exhibits intact. Large numbers will return with greatly increased and far more attractive exhibits, mid applications for space from new exhibitors are said to bo pourim.' in in large numbers. The uow Exposition will benefit largely from the experience of the old. The questions of railroad faros and accommodations fur visitors become ensy, thu work uf obtaining concessions and of systematizing having already been accomplished. Deficiencies and impediments in tho management of thu old Exposition will be remedied. Nothing sooms to stand in the way of its grand success. , The public will rejoice and especially those who failed tu uttund tho lata magnificent Exposition that tho opportunity for nttundance is presented to them. Mrs. A. Nelson, Brantford, writes: "I was a sufferer from Chronic Dyspepsia for eleven years. Always after eating, an intense burning sensation in the stomach, at times very distressing, caused a drooping and languid feeling, which would last for several hours after eating, I was recommended by Mr. Popplewell, Chemist, of onr city, to try Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure, and I am thankful to say that I have not been better for years' that burning sensation and languid feeling has nll gone, and food does not lie heavy on my stomach. Others of my family havo used it with best results." KWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WOttll. Rkoina, Aug. 15.—Col.

Kremsier, Aug. 25,—At the meeting of the Russian and Austrian imperial families to-day thc Hapsburgs wore the Russian uniform. The meeting took pladfc at the railway station, and thc monarchs embraced. The czar and emperor then entered the same carriage and went together to Schloss; the emperors and empresses indulged in much embracing nnd kissing.

The British and their allies in this buttle killed a large number of hostile Arabs who inhabited Spinat and captured enough 'grain and cloth to make a cargo. Paris, Aug. 25.—The Frenoh newspapers are praising Spain for thc attitude she haB assumed toward Germany over the Caroline Islands affair. They advise Spain to resist Bismarck's greed, and assure the Spaniards that Bismarck wilt yield if they continue to maintain a hold front. Madrid, Aug. 20.—Four thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine new coses of cholera, 1,547 deaths reported, in all of Spain yesterday, Count De Beno- mar, Spanish ambassador to Berlin, telegraphs to-day that Germany has declared a. protectorate over the Caroline islands, believing that they were unoccupied, and that hefore doing so she informed Spain that Germany was willing to discuss the question of possession with Spain or submit it to arbitration.

The absence of Emperor William and Prince Bismarck, the Journal states, does not signify thore is any slackening of cordiality among the members of the triple alliance. The furlough of Russian naval officers hns been extended, London, Aug. 26.-—Parnell's Dublin speech of yesterday has thoroughly aroused the Conservative press of England. The Tillies says no prudent politician can underrate the importance of the action taken hy the Irish nationalists at their conference in Dublin yesterday. Parnell's programme, continues tho Times, may, however, meet with a fate similar to that whicli befell O'Connell when Irishmen were as confident as they are now, Parnell demands the repeal of tho union. The Irish question is uo longer a question of local self- government. This might be credited by England, which will never listen to a plan i for the separation of Ireland. Tlie Standard says Parnell has declared war. It will be tlio shame aud disaster of statesmen if both parties fail to baffle him. We do not pretend to ignore the dauger to whicli imperial unity is exposed. Parnell now holds a strong hand. The late Liberal majority iu parliament could afford to ignore him; hut it will be different in a parliament uvtuly balanced between two parties. Parnell has, however, rivals by the score. He knows very well how precarious his authority is. If both tho Wings and Tories make it clear from the outset that Parnell's demand for home rule will be met with a firm opposition, his influence will be doomed. Dublin, Aug, 27.—Agrarian outrages arc increasing fearfully in Kerry county. Every day cases of moonlight work of incendluries and hamstringing of cattle aro reported. Madrid, Aug, 27. — Four thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven new oases of cholera and 1,408 deaths froin the samo cause reported throughout Spain yesterday. "tlint alcohol, in whatever form, should bu prercribod with as much care as any powerful drug; and that every medical practitioner is bound to exert his utmost influence to inculcate habits of great moderation in the* use of alcoholic liquors," In 1870 the great international medical council mot in Philadelphia—one of tbo largest and ablest medical bodies ovor convened—said: "Alcohol is not shown to have a definite food value by any of tho usual methods of chemical or physiological investigation. Its uso as a medicine is chiefly that of a .cardiac] (heart) stimulant and often admits of substitution." In 1874, the Medical Association of the United States met in Detroit, It said: "Wo nre of tho opinion that the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage is productive of a large amount of physical und mental disease; that it entails diseased appetitites and enfeebled constitutions upon offspring; and that it is the cause of a large percentage of the crime aud pauperism in our largo cities and country." This paragraph is worthy of being printed in letters uf gold and hung as an ornament in evory human habitation in thu world. Nnt many years ago, G. W. Campbell, M.A., M.D., professor uf the principles and practices of surgery and Dean of the Faculty of McGill College, Montreal, with upwards of 00 of the city's foremost medical men, signed the following declaration: "That a large portion of the human misery, poverty, disease and crime, is produced by the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage, That total abstinence from intoxicating, liquors, whether fermented or distilled, is consistent with, and conducive to the highest degree of physical and mental health and vigor. That abstinence from intoxicating liquors wuuld greatly promote the health, morality and happiness of the people." There are three other very celebrated medical men, whoso testimony it would be criminal to withhold. I Bhall givo it in my noxt. It has been thought thnt tho voice of reformed working mt3n ought to be heard on this question. To this point I will also give attention. Wm.

In 1847, 2000 nnd upwards of England's eminent medical men signed and published tho following! "We'areuf opinion that a very large proportion uf human misery, .including poverty, disease and'crime, ib induced hy the use of alcohol or fermented liquors as beverages; and that, the total and universal abstinence from alcohnlicliquors- aitil intoxicating beveiagos of all sorts would'greatly contribute to Iho health, the prosperity, the morality and the happiness of the human race." Over ten years ago 2C0 physicians and surgeons to the Queen's household, army medical department, etc., signed tho following declaration: --Being (irmly convinced that the great amount of drinking of alcoholic liquors among tho wurkiiig-clusses of this country is one of the greatest evils of the day, destroying-*-moro than anything else— tlm huulth, happiness, and welfare of those classes, and neutralizing to a largo extent tbe great industrial prosperity which Providence has placed within the reach of this nation, the undersigned would gladly support any wise legislation which wuuld tend to restrict within proper limits the uso of alcohol beverages." They believe A Woman Chemically Changed.— The Journal of Chemistry relates that u celebrated Parisian belle who made a profuse uso of cosmetics from the boios of her feet to the roots of ber hair, one day took a medicated bath, and on emerging from it was horrified to find herself as black as nu Ethiopian. The transformation was complete; not a vestige of "the supreme Caucasian race" was left. Her physician was sent for in alarm. On arrival lie laughed immoderately, and Baid: "Madame, you arc not ill, you are a chemical product. You are no longer a woman, but a sulpbice. It is not now u question of medical treatment,' but of simple chemical reaction. I shall subject you to u bath of sulphuric acid diluted with water. The acid will have the honor of combining with you; it will tuko up the sulphur, the metal will produce a sulphate, and we shall find as a precipitate u very pretty woman," Tho doctor went through with his reaction, and the belle was restored to her membership with the white race,"' — ■«***. A. M. Hamilton, Wark worth, writes: "For weeks I was troubled with a swelled ankle, which caused ine much pain and annoyance, iir.

WOHTHLEHSNESS OF PeHTIOKH.— The value of petitions under certain circumstances was tested a few days ago in a suit at Long view, Texas. A dispatch from Galveston recites that Mr. Puncan, n lawyer, to offset tlie forco of one that had been filed by the other side, read in open court a petition praying that the court would bang their fellow-townsman, Luke Howard, one of tho most respectable and enterprising citizens of the place. Duncan displayed the names of all the county officers aud of fifty business men signed to tlio petition. Among the signers wero the brother- in-law and father-in-law of Howard. Every signature was proven to be genuine. S. Chudwick, of Arcadia, Wayne Co., writes: "I have had severe attacks of Asthma for several years. 1 commenced taking Dr. Thomas Eclectrie Oil. The tirst dose relieved me in one hour. I continued taking it in toaspoonful doses for a few days, and have not had an attack of it since, now nearly a ycai." The fourth party of Lord Handulph Churchill, having accomplished its object of obtaining office, is succeeded by another fourth parly of four also, who nre disgusted at not getting office. Theso are Sir Robert Peol, Jnntes Lowthor, Edward Clarke and Lord Henry Lennox. Hltilt' Sir Robert is administering sharp lectures to tho now ministry. Lord Henry's nir of dejection is pathetic and even heartrending to spectators of sensibility, Lowlhur is sulky nnd Clarku is demonstrative. Worms derange the whole system. Mother Craves' Worm Exterminator deranges worms, and gives rest to the sufferer. It only costs twenty-five conts to try it and he convinced. The decline of pauperism iu London is remarkable when it is remembered how rapidly the city is growing year by yoar. Thus in the second week in July the total number of indoor and outdoor paupers relieved in the metropolis wus 83,551) ngainst 86,208 in the corresponding week last yoar, 84,- 653 in the, corresponding weok of the yoar before, and ua many ns 86,408 in tho corresponding week of 1882.

Opposite the Tavern. [Concluded from Lust Issue.] The cool insolence, the exultations of tho tone and manner were lost in the terrible significance of that word; and the strong man reeled with scattered senses, and it was with something akin to pity that ho listened to her faltering words: "I loved him so well that I—I could not givo him up, oven to please you," and she Btretched out hor hand imploringly; but the gesture wns unheeded. , , "Where—when wore you—married! Tho word seemed as if it would choke him, but the other answered glibly; "To-night, at tlio tavern, by my friend Stockbright. Ho> a justico of the penco, you know." "Forgive ino, father—only say that you forgive me!" sobbed Raohe. "Go to your friends across the way," he said bitterly, "for I will never countenance your deceit by opening niy door to you." Tho young husband laughed scornfully—a laugh that drowned tho pite- uus sobs of his bride, as turning away from the shelter of her hmite—hers im longer--they returned to their friends (f) over the wny. Another year bad passed away, nnd David Grover's heart sank moro and more heavily dny by day, as hu marked his wife's fast whitening hnir, nnd the piteous linos of patient etidurnnco about her sad mouth, while her oyes Iind come to wear a strange, startled look, thnt would sometimes change into nctuul terror at the sound of her younger son's uiistently footsteps at tho door; for, strange us it mny seem, even the gontle, studiouB boy— "mothor's studont"~-had found his temptation in the shape of that maddening draught of which the tempter still whispers iu his victim's ear—"Drink, and yo shnll bo as gods!" And bo the time passed nwny; and winter with all ita froats waa once moro upon them; little heeded, to bo aure, in the farmer's warm nud com- fortnble homo, although Mrs. Grover whispered through hor fast ■ falling tears, m she drew from oue of her well-filled cliesta nn extra blanket for heiv'Bonis bed, and suspended it before the blazing fire; "Poor little Raohe! Would to God thnt I could know if she is comfortable this bitter cold night, in her fur oil" city home." And ns tho fierce blast swept over the shuddering fnrm Iioubo, her husband too echoed the prayer in his own heart. ■■ -■■ Suddonly his wifo started to her feot. "Whnt is that?" alio whispered fear fully, "I thought I heard a child cry out iu the storm." Both listened for a moment, nnd thon tho farmer moved hastily toward tlie door. As ho opened it the drifting snow rushed in, almost exhausting the light, but bringing with it tho low, piteous wail, whose terrible significance they wero quick to comprehend, "Here, wife, quick! take the light. There jr somebody hero oh the doorstep. Quick!" And flinjiiug aside the snow, tlio atill Btrong man lifted in hia arms tho cloaked aiid hooded form that hnd lain without sound or motion mi the snow covered dtiovatone. "It's Bhe! Oh, Raohe—my poor little Ruche!" and tearing off the shrouding garments, he clasped tho insensible form to his breast with a strange, tierce tenderneBS. In n fow moments the blue eyea un- closed, and a smile of tender joy fussed over her fnce as alio folt her ather'a caresses. "I came ull tho way from B—— on foot," she murmured brokenly. "I had no money, for he had gono nwny nnd left ua to starve." "No, no!" nnd tho father nearly shrieked the words in liis agony. "To lite, to be happy once more in the old home." "Ton late!" Tho words wero scarcely more than n whisper, but tho pale face had grown strangely bright us, returning hor mother's kiss, alio feebly stretched her arms for her baby, a crimson tido burst from hor parted Hps, tho slight form grew rigid, and poor Rncho was iu the nrms of Eternal Love. ****** "It's nll thn fnult of that tavern over the wny. Ue haa been in the habit of bunging nbout it ever since he was a hoy. No wondor lie den't amount to much." Farmer Grover sprang from hia bed rubbing his eyes, and trying hard to swallow down the sobs with which hia throat wns tilled. Ho paused for a moment iu bewilderment, as through the hnlf opened door of bis bedroom he heard Ruche sny, in answer to her brother's remnrk: '"I henrd his sister, Lotty Stinch* field, sny once, that tavern hnd been tlio ruin of tier brother; and ahe wished Iier father had sold out yenrs ago." "He won't sell out to me," muttered the listener, with a feeling of such intense relief as he had never before iu his life experienced. And ns he entered the cheerful, sunshiny kitchen, where Rache, with her bright fnce nnd light step, wns busy prepnring breakfast as usual, ho did what wna a very nt range thing for him to do—took the girl iu his nrms and kissed her forehead, cheek, and lips junt aa he used to do in ber buby duys. "Why, father," she stammered, laughing nud blushing lu hev childish fashion, "you almost frightened ine you took mu si. muuh by surprise." "I dreamed that you were loat to me, Rache," ho said with a shudder, nnd thnt wns nil he said nbout it. But, y'Cars nfterwnrda, when young J. Lang, the purchaser of Stinchfield fnrm, applied to him for money to pny off the mortgage ou his land, then with the old memories busy at his heart, ho told to his wondering children the atory of thnt night's unwritten prophecies which he ended with (ho following solemn declaration; "I may be superstitious, but I honestly believe that thnt dream wub sent tu warn me;, and I never Imve been sorry Vet that I heeded it"—u conclusion that all readily subscribed tn iu their own hearts, The Pacific Malls. New Yoke, Aug. 19. -A prominent railroad mnn said thw morning: "I hear on excellent authority that efforts are being mndo in London to get the home government to grunt n subsidy to steamers plying between I,ivei|i anil Montreal, notwithstanding the fact that that, port will not be available during tho six winter immths. The Canadian government will give special compensation for currying llm Australian mails over the Cuiimlinii Paoifio. The Australian colonies stand ready tn subsidize a lino from Viotorin, B, C., to New Zealand, and a wwhly line of fjriit-oluu rhlps is to lie put mi. This project oiioountnn serloila oppo sition in London from the owners of tlio direct steamers and the Suez steamers to Bombay. If the United States govornmont would apply the §200,000 per annum it hns been receiving from tbe British government for carrying monthly the Australian mails acroBS the continent to n steamship lino running from Snn Francisco to New Zealand and touching nt Honolulu, first-class Bhips could bo put on with weekly sailings, and porhaps n less amount would indtico tho British lino plying to Britisli Columbia to touch nt San Francisco and Honolulu on the inward and outward voyages. The subsidy to tho present lino expires November lst, but it is known that postmaster-general Vilns already hns authority to dispose of sufficient monoy to maintain a Hue vin Sau Francisco until congress can aat tn the matter. The travel, whieh is small at present, will be increased by first-class ships and by tho choice of fivo rail routes ncross the North American continent. A through line from Snn Fruncisco to Portland and Pugot Sound, it is claimed, will bo completed inside of eighteen months, giving travelers tho option of going thia wuy. If Vilas has thu interests of American shipping at heart nt ull, he will aoe the ndvaiitusjos to be derived by making tho above arrangements." Mrs. Catharine Booth. Those who havo rend tho most recent London despatches giving an nccount of tho tremendous meeting of clergymen of oil denominations to express their approval of tbe work undertaken by the Pall Mall Gazette hnve doubtless rend, aays tho Cincinnati Fiu{itim; tho namo of Mra. Catherino Booth, but not knowing anything of her lifo and character, have possibly taken no further interest in her snyings. Well, Mrs. Booth is no leas n person thnn the wife of Gen, Booth, tho commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, an organization that, whntevor may have been the crude and imperfect opinions and impressions of its work entertained on this continent, has, without doubt, accomplished in England some—indeed, many—worka of reformation and redemption among tho musses of the vicious aud degraded poople that are everywhere recognized ns ao radical and satisfactory as to cbnl- lengo cither the sneers of the scoffers or the criticisms of the prim or prime Christians. Mrs. Booth herself is a prenchor, has been in the ministry about tweuty-fivo years, and ib the mother nf nine effective ministers. Probably few women in the world hnvo hnd her opportunities for personal knowledge nf thu depths of ain and degradation into which human nature enn descend by tho gravitation of its own corrupt disposition, especially iu grent cities, where tho incentives to now opportunities for tho indulgence of passions nro multiplied in n geometrically increasing ratio to the density nnd immensity of the population. When, therefore, this Inst rove* latiun from the lower strata of the pit of social corruotioii was brought out to the light of day Mrs. Booth, woman though alio was, was neither surprised nor intimidated, bnt was ready to take her placo among those who wero handed together to accomplish nll that might be possible in the work of puri- ficntiou aud of protecting mnideuhood from its relentless nnd tyrannical pursuers. For tho purpose of showing whnt typo of woman -Mrs. Booth is wo have beeu favored with testimony fmm very hi«h sources. Nu less a man than Dr. Daniel Steele, of Boston, tlian whom no man of purer life und higher ability us a scholar exists iu the Methodist church to day, saya of thia lndy; "My firat knowledge .of Mra. Booth waa obtained iu 1880 from a letter of a sttaight-hiced Preabytorian doctor of divinity published in one of tho organs of thnt denomination in Now York. He had listened to all the celebrities in London, not excepting Spurguou und Parker, hut hud hoard no speaker who moved him so deeply ns a womini preaching in u hall in tho West End of Loudon." Thia comparison by n minister who would hnve been u subject nf eccleni- itstieal concern if he had introduced u woman into Iub own pulpit ao engaged Dr. Steele'a attention that he began to make more particular inquiry concerning her. He found tbat one uf the bishops of tho Church of England had issued a letter to his diocesan clergy urging them if they would be aroused and stimulated to go out and compel the unchurched and perishing masses to come to the gospel, lirst to study the discourses of Mrs. Booth, lu the face of such testimony it is scarcely possible that uny should think nf Mra. Booth ns a ranter, whose appeals wero only suitable to be addressed tn tho vicious nnd illiterate, the "unwashed mob" of England's metropolis. If nny, however, have that idea this testimony will dispel it, for while her husband was at work in Milo End, "letting down the gospel plummet tn sound I he depths of the alums in eastern London" his wife wna gathering the cultured and aristocratic class in the western part of the city, attracting such intellects as Francis Power Cobb, the admirer and correspondent of Theodore Parker. This is his testimony: "The combination of fervent zonl with practical good sense iu her extempore addresses muat be admired even by those who differ moat widely from her views," One or two of Dr. Steele's vigorous paragraphs describing the method of Mrs. Booth's pulpit work iB doubly worth printing—firat, na an estimate of her ability from onu thoroughly -join* petent to judge; and, second, us n specimen of the learned divinu'u own ability ub a muster of polished English: "In hor sorinon there is no iuco- hereucy, nu rhapsody, nu rliodoniou- tado, but sound theology in consecutive proportions, set forth in natural und logical sequence, according to the law of thought. * * * Oueelemeut of her power_ ia her plain, stout, truo Saxon speech; not slang, but ;he language of the home, the shop, Iho street. Her sermons nre theology iu homespun. She eschews a scholastic form of theology in buckram and broadcloth. Her sermons show me what Christianity is when stripped of n cumbersome ceremonialism, a deadening formulism, a crushing ecclesinsti- eism, cut loose from tho bngguge train of church debts engineered by rich und worldly men, nnd relieved nf a host of nominal Christians impeding her march, pleased only with dross parades, and raising a panic whenever thu sham fight for a moment becomes real," Tho following notice, says London World, is poBted up at tho Turf Club: "Lord Lonsdale having apologised to Sir George Chetwynd, and Sir George Chetwynd having accepted the npol- ogy, Lord Lonsdale will be permitted io withdraw his resignation of membership of the Turf Club, und Sir (ieorue Chetwynd is requested to withdraw bis resignations of membership."
