A London cable received this afternoon says Advices from Bathurst, the °spite' of Gambia, the British West Airman colony, show Great Britain has another n little war" upon her hands. The native King of Gembie has for some time been in a disturbed eondition of mind and has committed; or allowed to be committed, a number of depredations and abuses from whicai the British coloniets have been sufferers. The Britieh Administrator or Governor of Gambia, Gilbert Thomas Carter, 0, M. G., put up with the liing'e conduct as long as possible and filially sent en envoy in the person of a prominent English officer up the Gambia River to the King's headquarters. This envoy was °heretict with the mission of in. forming the King that be must behave himself and see that his subjeots behaved themselves in future or else be might ex - peat a visit of a cliticiplinery nature from the rnarine forces of the Queen of England. The envoy carried out his orders and com- municated the views of the adminietretor to the King. The latter, however, was not alarmed by the adnainistrator'o views. He ordered the English envoy to be seized and bound, which was promptly done. Por- tions' of the envoy's cheeks and thighs were ant Out by the King's bodyguard, and later the envoy and the pieces of flesh out from his body were sent back to the administra- tor. With the envoy and the pieces of flesh the Ring e'en* Mr. Carter the follow- ing message: "This is the King's answer." The British authorities have taken prompt steps to eend the King a suitable reply. Three British gunboats have already ascended the Gembia river to avenge the outrage upon the envoy. PRESBYTERiAN SYNOD. The Ilamllton and London Body in Session at the Forest City, A London despatch says : At the Free. byterian Synod meeting yesterday the re- port of the Presbytery of Stratford respecting the settlement cf the claim of Rev. Thomas McPherson ehowed that the retiring minister had been paid $1,500, which he had recognized an payment in fall of his claims, Dr. Cochrane presented the report of the Brantford Young Ladies' College. The Built= fund, amounting to $231.45, intented for the edtioation of eecaped slave, end the need for wtaitin has become a thing of the past, Waa tuned over to the aged and infirm ministers' fund. An appli. elation for transmission from Rev. James Satherltind and John Kernighan was re. ceived anti granted. The Synod will overture the general assembly to tette the necessary steps to seoure e uniform posture throughout its jariediction during public prayer. At this afternoon's sederunt of the synod Rev. Dr. Robertson, et the Northwest Mission field, addressed the delegates. He gave a glowing picture of the future in store for that country, and urged the neces- sity of providirg for tne spirituel wents of the ever-ire:arming population. By way of encouragement the speaker pointed to the fact that, while in 1880 there were only two coneregetions between Lake Superior and the Pacific Ocean, under the wing of the Presbyterian Church, there were now 61, over 35 of which were self-supporting. The members of the synod pledged themselves to present the claims ot the mission to their respective congregations. The overture from the London Presbytery asking that the EastWilliame congregation be pieced under the jurisdiction of either the London or the Sarnia Presbytery, instead of being under joint jurisdiction, evoked a long and somewhat animated dis- cussion. Rev. Messrs. Jamee Ballantyne, A. Henderson, D. Currie and Mr. Andrew Rose championed London's deka to juris- diction, while 113V. George Cathbertson, of Wyoming, and Rev. Hector Currie, of Theeford, sided with Santis. In conclusion it was moved by Rev. W. J. Day that the prayer of the memoriel be granted, said the territory be placed under juriedictiou of the Sarnia Presbytery. In amendment, Rev. George Sutherland, of Fingal, moved that its° London Presbytery have jurisdiction over this territory. The amendment was carried by 67 yeas to 60 nay. TRAGEDY IN A 0/RUUS. -- The Audience Loudly Cheered While a Woman Was Being Slowly Killed. A St. Petersburg oeble says: News of a most reaterkeble and horrible tragedy which has just occurred in the town of Po1otsk iri Rime:bin Poland, has reached here. A day or two ago a travelling circus gave a representation in that town. The manageress of the circus, a woman ot remarkable beauty and popularity, who was herself an exuellent horsewomen, was just on the point of leaving the ring after performing some daring Teets with a epiriteci horse, when tbe eminial suddenly attackee her in 0 ittri0138 manner. For a few minutes the enclierace, in spite of tbe wornmes shrieks, did not appear to realize anything enamel cunning, bat applauded end cheered the aciione of the horse, thinning them a part of the performance. Net the animal kicked her with such force that she fell to the ground did tbe people realize that something was wrong. The brute then trampled upon her with such fray that none of the public or the grooms in ettendance had the centime to approach the spot. At, last, by some means the unfortunate women managed to extricate kterselk from beneath the animal's hoofs, half stunned, with her dress all tornand her Noe and body streaming with blood. She had enfecient, fortitude to salute the Audience and stagger from the ring without any etsistance. She, however, bad hardly remitted the dressimeroom'before she com- menced to utter piercing ebrieke, which were heard by the andienoe in the circus. After lingeringstverel home in greet agony she suciontribed to the terrible injuriee she had received. Britain's Drink Bill. In England, Dr. DAWSON Berne bas pub. lighed his annual drink budget. From this it tippeere that the people Of the United Kingdom expended for ititexicating liquors in 1890 the stun of 1137,495,470. Taking the estimated poptilatitym the figures indi- cate that the item seen* per head on intend - eating liquors was 13 13e, or per family of five persons 118 5e. Durine the past year the people of the United Kingdom drank more freely than in any year since 1878, when the drink bill wait £142,100 500, Working the tiguree out tri another way, Dr. Burne ahem/ *het 11 is given to Sticohus " for every half eirowe gmen te Christ."

The Holy City of Benares in a State of siege —Shops Closed—Work Suspended and the Natives Angered—A. Wernone situa- tion. A Bemires Gable dated *0 day gays : The exoitement in this city originating from the demolition of a temple in order to pro- vide a site for the new wetter works, in- creases every hour. All the shops in Bewares are closed and all the nattves in the oity and district have snapped work and are gathering in large crowds in and about the principal thoroughfares of the Holy City. The result is that serious riots have already conned between the distarbed nativee and the local author. Mee, who are eupported by the British troops quartered in the vicinity. In response to several despatches sent to the Marquis of Lertedowne, Viceroy of India, who Is now at Siladirecting the movements of the troops marching on the Man- ipur dietriot, etrong reinforcements, composed of Englieh and native, troops, have been detailed in Benares, and further reinforcements are on the way. The British troops are guard. bog all the banks and public buildings, and eleo ocoepy in force many points of vantage throughout the city and district. 11 18 pre. eumed that the troops will be able to stm. press promptly any serious outbreak upon the part of the native. But the eventual effect of the spirit of resentment and indig- nation existing among the Hind000, already felt far and wide in India, cannot at pres- ent be correctly estimated. AROSE FROM BED AND WALIKED. An Essex Man's Lightning Cure by Faith tu God. A Windsor despitich says: About a year ago Francis Sweet, jr, a farmer at Geste, was thrown from a rig by a runaway team and sustained serious internal injuries. Latterly he was taken to his bed suffering terribly from his injuries. The attendant physician told him plainly that if his spine became affected there would be no hope for him. Last week the eriffering man was so bad that his friends and family gave up all hope. His will W58 made and his brother James, of Kingsville, sent for. On Wed- nesday he was converted. That night and all Thursday he Buffered terribly. On Thareday evening his friends and the poor man himself had given up all hopee. All thought he amid not live till morning. The disease had reaohed his spine. His family had gathered around his bed to bid a last farewell. His wife and hie brother were kneeling !eh the bedside preying. He was also praying. It was just 7 o'clock. Mr. Sweet says the thought struck him that surely if the Lord is able to save me He is also able to heal me. He at once put the eleventh -hour thought into practice. He prayed to God to heal him anti quick as a flash be felt he was well, and he dumbfounded those pres- ent by raising himself up in bed. Five minutes before he could not raise head or limb. More surprising still, next afterzoon he got up, dressed himself, washed and combed unassisted, and went about his regular labore around the farm, apparently as well as ever. THE LEAGUE FUNDS. Parnell Will Not Allow, Them to be Used for the Evicted Tenants. A Dublin cable received this afternoon says: The National Press. in an article headed, '4 Sentence of Death"—referring to Mr. Redmond's statement made yesterday at the meeting of the Tenants' Defence League, to the effect that e continuance of the plan of campaign was impossible, in view of the faot that with the exception of Paris fonds there was no money to carry on the warfare against the landlords—says: Mn. Parnell's last oinmey trick ended in the evicted tenants being left to their fate. Parnell yielded for a short time to the duty of patriotism to the mission to the United States, which was auspiciously commenced and would have placed the evicted people out of danger, but he wrecked it relentlessly and unscrupulously. Mr. Redmond's declaration means that Parnell has oloeed the Paris fund, and that while he cannot take it himself he will not let the evicted tenants have it. COUNTING IRIS Hi NOSES. The Megarthyites Figure Out a Majority of Forty-one In the General Elections. A. London cable dated to -day says: The reports of the MoCerthyite members of the House of Commons who have canvassed the whole of Ireland, have been collected. It is celculeted from these reports that a general election in Ireland would omit twenty-six Pernellite Members of Perlis. ment, including Parnell himself. Parnell's nominees would probalny capture three seats—Dublin, Mayo and Clare—while the Unionists are expected todefeat McCarthy, Sexton, Henry Campbell, Redmond and Sir Thomas Grattan Esmonde. This would leave the strength of the different parties as follows: McCarthyites, 72; Pernellites, 9; Unionists, 22. He Struck an Earl. A London cable says: In Ireland the farmers are up in arms against fox-hunting squires and peers. The young Earl of Huntingdon, a captain in the Prince of Wales Regiment, was dwelling to -day across Farmer Alurphy's meadow after fox and peek of hounds", when the farmer twee. pectedly appeared and seized the Earl's horse by the bridle. The Earl, who traces his ancestry to a steward of the Conqueror, Wog eghttat ett such a liberty on the part of a plebeian, and raising his whip Arndt a blow at the farmer. Murphy held the horse with one powerful arra, while with the other he strains and nearly lismounted the Earl. Presbyterian Assentiblies.

The European continent end Anatralien meet- ings follow in later monthe. The New Zealand Assembly will take place about Nov. ist. The vast extent of the Preeby- terien family may be judged from the feet that over forty annual aesembliels or synods are held, representing a population of 20,- 265,000.

Oapt, Presgrave Gives the Rebels Another OhecklCilling 50 of them. THE,' CAUSE OF THE WHOtfiereee. A Calcutte cable says: A despatch from Rangoon states that Capt. Presgrave, who wee reported to have reinforced Lieut. Grant at Fort Theban hei0 met add defeated 300 Manipuris. Presgrave'e Mounted Infantry pursued the Manipuris and killed 50. There was no loos of life on the British side. The Thirteenth Bengal Infantry, from Barreckpore, the First and Second Ghoor- kas, the Eighth Bengal Mountain Battery, the Thirtmaixth Bengal Infantry (Bildt ,), from Clehautta, and other troops frutm Burrnah are on the way to the front. The troops from 13artnah are under the COM. mend of General Graham, and include halt o bettelion of the King's Royal Rifles, the Second battalion of the Fourth Ghoorkas, two gene from No. 2 Mountain Battery of the Royal Artillery, and a regiment of Madras Infantry. General Graham was Net reported as advancing via Tamu. General Collett was reported as advancing from Nigritime on the Brehmaputra with No, 8 Beep! Sidounted Battery, the Second Ghoorkas and other troops which have been deepen:died to Kehimet. The cream of the dispute is as follows : The Mabaranth of Manipur was deposed in September last as the result of a revolt headed by his second and third brothers, known respectively as the Jobrej, or heir of the Maharajah, and the Senaputty, or commander-inmhief. The latter, it will be remembered, was recently killed in the assault made by the Metnipuris upon Fort Theban defended by Lieut. Grant. The Meharejeh, with his fourth brother, known as the Lord of the Elephants, took refuge in India, and are now in Celoutta smelting developments. Since that time the power at Manipur was in the bends of the Jobraj and the Senapritty. Chief Commissioner James W. Quinton, following the traditional policy of the British authorities in India, prepared to recognize the de facto ruler, and protteeded to Manipur with an esoort of about four hundred men of the Forty-second Ghoor- kris with the intention of officielly install- ing the Jobraj as Maharajeb, and resolved to send the Senaputty, who was a troublesome chieftain, to India,. Com- missioner Qainton was aocompanied by the following °mil doers: Asnisiant Beare- teeY Coesine, Deputy Commissioner Gordon and Deputy Commissieter Woods, and Superintendent Melville, of the Tele. graph Department. The military °Misers included Colonel Skene, commanding the Fortymecond Ghoorkae Light Infantry; aud Ceptain G. H. Butcher and Lieutenants E. J. Lugar and J. B Chatterton, of ;be seam regiment; Captain T. S. Doileau, second in command of the Forty-fourth Ghoorkas Light Infantry; Lieutenant L. W. Brackenbury, of the same regiment, and several others, nearly all of whom are believed to helve been killed in the massacre which followed the Dentate at Manipur, on March 24th and 251h, the detaile of which have already been published. Lieutenant Grant, on the British side, is still bolding Fort Thabat with admirable success. The insurgents will find it diffi. cult to dislodge him, especially since he bee been reinforced by the small detachment of troops unuer the command of Captain Preeggeme, and in view of his brilliant achieyement in repulsing on April 6th a force of 4,000 Menipuris, well armed with rifles, during which engagement the Senn - putty was killed. Lien; Grant, with a force of eighty Ghoorkes from Tamme, was be - to have fallen a victim to the Mani- purie, but, instead, he carried Fort Thabst, gerriaoned by 900 Manipuris, by assault, driving the enemy out at the point of the bayonet. The telegraph wires being out by the in- surgents renders communication from the front rather slow. Cold Truth for the Newly Wed. Is the honeymoon always happy? Well, generally it is, but sometimes it is not. floppiness is always—we are told by wise people—greater in the anticipation than in the reality. Young people, and especially very 5 oung people, expect that the marriage oeremony will open for them the gates of paradise, but when they find that it has not they ere cast down and unhappy. Then there ie another trouble. Perhaps the groom is thinking solely of his own happi- ness, and perhaps the bride is thinking solely of hers, and when they are married they find out, to their amazement, that happiness lies solely in thinking the one of the other. Sometimes they think each perfection, and the honeymoon shows that they have been overmangnine, and then they are dieapointed. If the truth were known it would be found that many honey. moons have been disappointing experi- ences.— Cincinnati Coranzercial Gazette. Assignments in Ontario.

"C. I. HOOD &, CO., Lowell, Mass.. "GENTLEMEN :-For many years I have been suffering from catarrh, neuralgia and general debility. I failed to obtain any permanent relief from medical ad- vice, and my friends feared I would never find anything to cure me. A short time ago I was induced to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.. At that time I was unable to walk even a short dis- tance without feeling a Death -Like Weakness overtake me. And I had intense pains from neuralgia, in my head, back and limbs, which were very exhausting. But I am glad to say that soon after I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw that it was doing me good. I ha,ve now taken three bottles and am entirely Cured of NeuraIgla. I am gaining in strength rapidly, and can take a two-mile walk without feel- ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so much from catarrh, and find that as my strength increases the catarrh decreases. I am indeed a changed woman, and shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar- saparilla for what it has done for me.
