Before the Marriage ceremony took

we now make a few extracts
"It was the usage in the days

reason why we have carried this

CURED BY CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.
A Remarkable Case of Mind
Cure by Which a Dying
Child was Saved.
Chicago 1ntor-Ocean.
Mrs. Derrington, a lady who re-
sides in a leading southern city,
came to Chicago about ten days ago,
seeking medical advice and treat,
went for her little boy of five years,
who accompanied her, and whose
restoration to health had been de-
spaired of by her family physician.
The child was suffering with en
aggravated affection of the throat,
complicated with what was believed
to be dangerous symptoms of con-
sumption.
Upon her arrival Mrs. Derrinn
consulted twotvelt..known physicians
and nought their aid and advice.
One of the physicians, upon a little
reflection; declined to take charge
of the CRAP without being better in•
formed as to the previous course of
treatment pursued. He regarded
the case as a peculiar one in many
respects, and expressed his fear of
not being able to afford auy relief
under the circumstances. The
other physici•tn thought lie could
do something for the boy, and began
prescribing for him. At the sante
time the doctor who felt by no
means confident that he fully under-
stood or could successfully treat the
case, informed the mother that her
child was in great danger.

excitement, Nelson Ross was invit-
ed by his brother to go to the village
of Bothwell to assist him in the

ne's were good, and he went. Soon,
however, the boom died away, and
(natty a wits was left high and dry
with only a sand hill to realize
upon. Napoleon Ross, Nelson's
brother was one of those who felt
the change, but he did IIsi despair.
The frame building in which his
stock was, aid probably his stock
too, was insured. Guo day his
brother said to him, pointing signi-
ficantly to a pile of ruttbish under
the stairway, "Something aright
happen shortly. You see that my
wife and family are saved.' Noth-
ing more was said, bet Nelson gues-
sed that arson was. meant. A
night or two after the building was
burned down. He hooked after the
women and children, rued got $188

he knew nothing of the whole frau-
section, as his brother was manager
and owner of the lnoduess. They
all left ; subsequently his brother

his mind of his share in the crime

Dublin, Sept. 4. --'Pen thousand
persons assembled today at Ennis to
attend a meeting of thelIrish Nation-
al League. The police last night
took possession of the hill of Bally
coree, where it was intended to hold
the meeting; At 2 o'clock the pro.
cession, enlivened by twelve bands
of music, and including Messrs.
Timothy Sullivan, Dillon, Cox,
Sheehy, Wm. O'Brien and Phillip
Stanhope, all members of the 1.1ouso
Commons, and several priests, mov-
ed towards Ballycoreo Hill, the ap-
proaches to which were guarded
.by soldiora and police. Five hun-
dred policemen and a large force of
military load- arrived at Eunis last
week,.under orders to prevent the
people from assembling. The pro-
cession finding its further progress
barred halted in a fold, and Messrs.
Sullivan, Stanhope and O'Brien made
speeches from their carriages. A
troop of .Hussars, headed by Col.
Turuer ordered the meeting to dia•
perso withiu five minutes. Mr. Stan-
hope handed Col. Turner a copy of
the resolution adoped by the meeting
claiming Home Rule,declaring adher•
once to Mr. Parnell, thanking the
Liberal party, pledging resistance to
the proclamation of the League and
denouncing land grabbing. Mr.
Stanhope declared that the proceed-
ings of the meeting were legal and
that if a collision occurred between
the people and the troops he would
hold Col. 'Turner responsible. Col.
Turner replied that he was bound to
execute his orders. After a •parley
the procession returned to Ennis, and
O'l3rieu addressed the crowd in
O'Conuell's Square. The soldiers
and police again appearing the pro-
cession passed on to a hotel, which
the leaders entered. The crowd then
dispersed quietly.
What Wiman Wants.
Mr. Erastus Winian, of New
York, the Hon. Benjamin Butter-
worth, member of Congress from
Cincinnati, and Prof. Gold win
Smith, delivered addresses to a large
audience, on invitation from the
contuiercial bodies of Detriot, the
eul,ject of discussion being coutuuers
41151 union between the United
States and Canada. Mr. Wimau's
address which was the principal
feature of the evening, occupied
nearly an hour, and was an elaborate
presentation of the advantages and
possibilities of this movement. He
claimed that a commercial union
would bring as much profit and as
touch advantage to the United
States as a political trnion, ' anti il-
lustrated this contention by the
contributions to the wealth of the
country of California and Alaska.
It teas Claiu►ed that Canada \t•a1
cotunterctally independent, and that
without appealing to England the
Parliament at Ottawa could IOIJUat
a tariff precisely similar to that of
the United States, ard that around
the whole corlliueut, this uniform
tariff existing, there .s110uld be no
let or hiuderance to the ebb or flow
of commerce within the coutint-0t
itself. The result would be that an
extension of the commerce of the
United States would thereby be se•
curedofatl'no: bunknown possibilities.

The New York wor1.4 Of Sunday

position of Mr. Ignatius Donnelly'a'
,atfbmpt to dethrone Shakespsreand
award the honor of the authora.hip
of the so-called Shakespeare plays
do Lord Bacon. The artioio ie
written by Prof. Thomas Davidson,
a well known scholar, philosopher
and critic, and whose opinion as to
.Mr. Donuelly's work cannot fail to
carry great weight.
Loudon (Mice of the Globe Sep 2.
In the House of commons tonight
Sir James .Fergusson informed Mr,
Gourley that it was not intended to
refer, Article 30 of the Washingtou
Treaty of 1871 to the new Fishery
Commission. Toe terms of refer-
ence had not been finally decided
upon. The Government were con-
sidering whether they would include
the Alaskan seal fisheries dispute.
He further stated that Her Majesty's
\Vashington Minister• anti a Can.
educt eeutlenlan yet unnamed would
be Mr. Chantbcrlain's colleagues.
From inquiries I made laAt evening,
however, 11(111 in a pOsitiOn tO :tate
that most probably Sir John Mac.
will be the Canadian repre-
sentative. At first it Was generally
thought that Sir Charles Tupper
would be chosen; Now, , there is
little doul t that the Premier hituseif
will take the cominissiouerehip.
Mr. Davidson has recently paid
Mr. Donnelly a visit at Iris home in
Hastings, Minn., examined the
nranusEript of his forthcoming work,
the "Great Crypograrn," !had the
main features of the cipher ex- w
plained to him and obtained
permission to report. Before ox..
aminingg Mr. Donnelly's work Mr.
Davidebn was an entire sceptic in
regard to thg Bacon theory ; but he
now admitsiCthat be is very much
shaken in his belief that the plays
were written by Shakespeare, and
declares that if they had come down
to us without the author's name at-
tached they would have been un-
hesitatingly attributed to Bacon.
He says he reached this conviction
altogether apart from the cipher.
Mr. Donnelly endeavors to show
that the education and eharaeter of
Shakespeare were such that it is
even. ridipulous to imagine that he
could have written plays which
are distilled front all the wisdom
and learning of the world. His ac-
count of Shakespeare's character will
certainly be a surprise to moat read-
ers. He shdws him to have been -
steeped in every kind of vice, to
have been a fornicator, on adulterer,
a usurer, an oppressor of the poor,
a drunkard, a systematic liar and a
forger of pedigrees, dying in the
prime of life from the effects of a
three days' drunken spree.
Having demonstrated to his own
satisfaction that the author of the•
plays was not Shakespeare, Mr.Don-
nelly next proceeds to prove that he
was Bacon. After adducing evi-
dence to show that Ba^,on was a
pont, and the author of the plays a
profound and learned philosopher,
he treats of the geography of the
plays, and hero lie brings out some
iuost tell tale facts. While neither
Stratford (where Shakespeare was
born) nor Avon is ever once men-
tioned in the plays, St. Albans, the
home of Bacon, is mentioned twenty-
three times.
Mr. Davidson expresses his strong
conviction that, Mr. Donnelly is
neither a fraud nor a "crank." To
clear away any feeling of this sort
ou the part of the public, he gives a
brief account of Mr. Donnelly's
career, and a description of his sim-
ple hone life in Minnesota. It
seems that Mr. Donnelly is a quiet,
genial, country -loving, studious
Inan, devoted to thought and fond
of a good joke.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
LONDON, Aug. 20 -in the. i[ouse of
Commons to -day Sir henry Holland
informed Sir Henry 'Tyler that Lord
Lansdowne had telegraphed that he
disallowed the Manitoba Provincial
Act for the construction of the Rod
River Railway, on the advice of his
responsible:advisers, because the road
would divert traffic from the Canad-
ian Pacific line, which was not fully
established, and seriously injure the
interests of the country, which had
submitted to great sacrifices in order
to unite all the Provinces by a
national railway. As Manitoba was
proceeding with the constructiote
the Canadian Pacific obtained an in-
junction. The Government had in-
terfered only by disallowance. Re-
plying 10 Mr. ifealy, Sir Henry IIoll•
and said there was no truth in the
statement that the Government had
selected Winnipeg as a point for con-
centrating Imperial forces. The
statement that Sir John Macdonald
intended to apply for Imperial for -
cos was a pure fabrication.
