nately it was a blind eye that was thus de-
stroyed.

THE WORST OF ALL THE ISMS.
"Don't talk to me about your political
'isms,' " said a facetious old valetudinarian,
"I tell yon there's no ism on eat th so bad
as Rheumatism." The venerable sufferer
was right. St. Lawrence's gridiron or gnat.
imozin's pallett of fire was not more empha-
tically a bed of torment than the cough of
the martyr to rheumatism. It is generally
considered by the faculty one of the most
obstinate as well as one of the moat painful
of maladies, and it certainly does resist all
ordinary remedies with extreordinary per-
tinacity. Skill and science, however, in
this age of progress, seem to master all op..
position; and even this painful disease, en-
trenehed awing the muscles, and interknit,
as it were, with the sinews and tendons of
our frames, is compelled to yield to the cur-
atives they have provided.
We have it on unquestionable authority -
the testimony of patients themselves -that
rheumatism, however deeplj seated, may
be cured by the regular aud persistent ap-
plication of Holloway'a Ointment. This,
we feel assured, will be welcome intelligence
to thousands of sufferers, bederidden by the
disease, or limping with stiffened joints
along the pathway to the tomb. In a clim-
ate where the quicksilver eometimes makes
O leap of thirty degrees up or down, the
complaint is of course a provident one; and
in our new settlements at the West, along
the alluvival borders of the great rivers, in
the hemlock swamp, of the South, and in
sinew and damp locations, few persons
reach the age of forty years without a rheu-
matic visitation. It is clear, therefore, that
O preparation with all effort immediate re-
lief, end effect eventually a thorough cure
of the complaint, must be of especial value
to the people of all countries.
We cannot reasonably doubt, in view of
the well -attested statements whicInhave'been
laid before us, sustained us they are by cir-
cumstances within our own knowledge, that
the Ointment referred to will effect the ob.
jeet ; and among all the benefits which the
discoverys of the celebrated physician and
philanthropist have conferred upon manlcind
thie is certainly not the least important.
Many an industrious tiller of thehmil, whose
'services are needed in the field, is at this
moment languishing on a bed of sickness ;
the hands that should guide the plough or
grasp the spade rendered powerlese by rheu-
matism. Many a tailor In every branch of
productive labor is "similarly situated ; and
we can imagine witli what joy these suffer-
ers would hail the means of immediate
cnre. To all such we feel justified in, re-
commending this balsamic remedy, the am
plication of which, with the aid of a few
doses of Holloway's Pills to regulate the
internal organs would, we feel wagered, re-
store them to health and usefulness. -Daily

cattle Market,
Dominion shippers of live stock are
somewhat uneesy es to the course of the
British trade during the coming season.
It is, of coursehnevitable that the presence
of disease in ,England should place some
limitation upon the Canadian trade, aa it
is doing upon home industry, but, says
the Canadian Gazette, Canadian dealers
may comfort themselves with the know-
ledge that, eo far as .the [English markets
ere concerned, they are treated in exactly
the same way as the British farmers. The
fair attitude which the British Board of
Agriculture has assumed towards Canadian
stock inay be (judged from the following
cireurestances. At the present time Ches-
shire is an insected county under the foot
and. mouth disease order, and cattle cannot
be moved. out of it. But the landing
place where Canadian cattle are disembark-
ed has been declared an uninfected zone, ea
SO thee Canadian cattle may be moved out
of the county to uninfected markets with-
out hindrance.
Church Taxes.
By the way, do any of the churches in
Exeter pay municipal taxes ? One church,
at least, in Toronto, insists on being allow-
ed to pay. Says a newspaper: As will
be seen f rom our news -columns, the Jarvis
Street Church bolds fast its integrity in
the matter of municipal support, and still
refuses, at the cost of over $1,100 a year,
to accept an annual grant from the city
treasury, in the shape of exemption of its
property from taxation. Saab a practical
proof of adherence to principle is worthy
of all praise, and yet it is only just what
the world has a right to expect from a
society which recognises Christ as its head
and liew giver, and the New I/Testament as
its statute -book. Nevertheless, the matter
is a very important one, for if the Jarvis
Street Church is right, every other Chris-
tian church of every name, in the city, is
wrong. Which is it, then, right or wrong?
Ought the churches of Christ to rely solely
upon the voluntary offerings of his people
for the means of carrying on his work, or
ought they to call in the aid of the tax -
gatherer whenever they have sufficient in-
fluence with the State or municipal autho-i-
ties to enable them to do so ? '
