"In Darkest Africa," were obtained in a mysterious manner by some person, who offered copies to one Eng- lish paper ani to two papers published in the colonies. The copies were accepted by the papers, but the publication of the matter was thwarted by the issue of a circular by the house which is publishing the book warn.

BISHAROK To STAND r.013, THE REICHSTAG. A deputation of conservatives horn the Fourth district of Potsdam, which is pow unrepresented in the Reichstag on as:count of the death t Herr dell .fIa1,. haw, wont to 1! riedrichsruhe the other day to ask Prince Bismarck to accept the candidature, Repro - =Wed iced to give the proposal his favorable con- sideration, and this is taken to mean that he will stand. The members o£ the Reiomstag already foresee that the Prinee's presence will produce the grouping of a new par- ty, outer his lead, composed of conser- vatives, old national liberals and a small section of the =Aerate Freisinnigc party. This group will prominently represent the Sick Headaches, There are undoubted proofs that m is in many eases hereditary, and that al- though it may commence very early in life, its attacks seldom come upon one after the middle period, or age of forty-five, in women. But the fact of megrim being constitutional or hereditary is no reason why we should not attempt to ward off attacks, or take means, wherever possible, to prevent their corning on at all. A person suffering from periodical attacks of the complaint is by no means to be regarded as suffering from actual disease, To be sure, it is sometimes connected with certain disorders of the heart, else I should clot have troubled to apply my stethoscope to the chest of my patients. All who suffer, therefore, from megrim, should consult a medical luau, and have the heart examined, if only for the sake of enabling them to be more easy in mind. The periodic nature of megrim causes it to be a very unpleasant ailment for anyone to be subject to. It may be said to be an enemy hovering continually on the flank of the artily of life, making ever and anon another desperate attack, but usually retir- ing baffled after a time, Young girls under twenty are often subject to megrim, though it generally passes away in about a day, or after one good night's rest. During the in terval the person is generally in his or her usual health, and, just after an attack, even better. The megrim is, as a rule, threatenedbefo re - hand, the stomach and system got out of order for a day or two, and these symptoms may be caused by the ailment itself, although we must not forget that they may cause it, Certain articles of diet or drink are almost sure to induce .a "fit of megrim," as it is sometimes called. W el1, it stands to common sense e that these latter should be most rigidly abstained from, however tempting such viands are to the senses. Pork, pastry, veal, salmon, and even mutton may have to be avoided, Hot sauces, onions, and pickles should be used with suspicion, and as to drinkables, tea - drinking, if the tea be strong, may do harm by lowering the nervous system, and vinous stimulants by sending the blood to the head. The bilious form of megrim is caused by anything that interferes with the functions of the liver. But apart from all bodily, the causes con - clition Of the hind has to be taken into aeeolult when searching for the causes of negrim. Auy kind of worry, all kinds of nental strain or ovcr.work, and most kinds of excitement are liable to induce it. Why, we need hardly ask ; for shell causes mean depression of the nervous system, and, the powers of life generally. I have little inclination to dwell on the symptoms of megrim or sick headache. Un - fort they:are far too well •nown. There are many strange symptoms affeeting the sight and sensations, which arc generally very alarming to the patient, such as partial blindness, flashes of light, erackl- eg in the brain, numbness of the limbs, pins and needles, and a heavy, stupid feeling, and these often make the sufferer fear lie is to be struck with paralysis. We must admit that the chief seat of the ailment is the head. I do not say it is al- ways the brain itself, though it often is. It maybe thebt;sin-coverings thata re congested. Some medical men doubt whether the liver las anything to do with the trouble. I my- self do not. I mean that a bilious attack may culminate in megrim, fox any poison that night to be eliminated by the great secret - ng organs, and is not so got rid of, will cause a species of blood -poisoning. The bile, as all know, has most important functions to perform in the animal economy, but, if it is retained in the blood, the consequences are disastrous. Night hours and long hours of labour, whether mental or bodily, must be avoided. That is tl e first sine qua 7tot1. of a return to health. Secondly, good nutritious diet must be taken, but over -eating must be strenuously guarded against. Exercise must become one of the daily habits of life. A hobby has ere now acted in itself as a cure. It must, however, be a hobby that keeps one out in the open air, and pleasantly en- gages the mind, while it exercises without fatiguing the body. Sleep will thus be got without dangerous artificial means, and re- member sleep is all-important. Whenever one's daily occupation interferes in any way with his natural rest at night, he is ou the brink of danger. The Turkish or Rus- sian bath (taken under medical advice) will very often tend to ward off an attack. The diet, thoughnutritious, trust be plain. For drink, 1 have reason to believe lithia water will do good, but a cup of tea in the afternoon is a great comfort. If there be much acidity, a soa and gentian mixture; if paleness of face and gums, iron ; but the system must be kept open by rational means. Cod-liver oil with pancreatic emulsion often does much good. Try it and see. Do every- thing possible to get into a healthy habit of body and a calm condition of mind. and all will go well. --A Family Doctor. small landowners, manufaeturers and bank- ers, who are opponents of the pro -socialist 1 policy and is certain to secure the support i of a number of centrists, thus forming a strong; combination,. The hostile reports to the effect that the Emperor is becoming more and snore enrag- ed over the revelations made by Prince • Bis- marck in interviews and that the intends to muzzle the ex -Chancellor arelaughed overin 1 the Prince's circle. Another idea is dawning upon the unfriendly eritics---thatis,whethe+r the statements made to special correspap> dents were not arranged with the previous 1 knowledge and concurrence of Chancellor von - Caprivi. Prince Bisniarek'satodiously unstudied Confidcuces have already assisted the Foreign Mice to a clearer view of the tendencies of foreign opinion. and have also helped to harmonize Caprivi'srelations with several foreign Ministers. It it now per c'iv- •eU that 1115 seeming frankness reveals little. 'Auld cannot einbarrasa the government.

When Bismarck retired these wer ound to follow. Front an important Constantinople source the M 'ichester Guardian prints a detailed of an arrangement about Bulgaria, use on the point of conclusion, be ween Germany and Russia, The scheme s said to have the adhesion of Stamboul. t provides for the peaceful retirement of Prince Ferginand, the election of' a new Prince, who will be either the Prince of Louehtenberg or Prince Charles of Sweden, and the formation of a new Ministry drawn from all parties in Bulgarian polities. An- other result of this bargain would be the withdrawal from Constantinople of the pres- ent Russian and German Ambassadors, Neli doff and Ratlowitz, to make room for men who find it easier to agree. The degree of ! truth in all this is diflieult to estimate, bat itis certain that diplomatic circles are busy. with rumors of an approaching rapproche- ment between Germany and Russia. Effect of the Moon on Fish. In the course of an able letter in a con- temporary, Dr. Edwin Dudley Snaith dis- cusses the old question as to the effect of the moon on fish. Of course there are anglers who are so ignorant and obstinate as to believe and stoutly maintain that the moon has no effect upon fishing whatever ; others are devotedly' attached to the theory. Along the coast old boatmen almost univers- ally believe in the moon's influence upon fish, but they are not always agreed upon the phase of the moon that brings the best fishing. Dr. Smith studied the matter all last summer, according to his statement. This is what he found : Best luck days between the first quarter of the fnoon and four or five days after this period. Medium Luck.—Two or three days before the first quarter and the period of time in- tervening between the four or five clays following the first quarter and two or three days before the last quarter up to two or three days before the first quarter. Accord- ing to these observations, fairly decent fish- ing may be expected during two weeks of the month, and fishermen might as well stay home during the other two. Dr. Smith admits that there are exceptions to his pro- gramme. For instance, he finds that m striped bass angling a northeasterly storm after raging two or three days will increase the 1 mber of fish, if the storm happens on th, ys of medium success under the moon ch more fish will be caught than other - e u the sante period. Another discovery was that as the season opens for each species of ash they appear the first quarter of the moon. The same facts, the doctor alleges, are true of the bine crab, but he does not state the result of any observation as to whether the moon has any effect upon the voraciousness of toadfish or sea robins. In whatntanner the moon influences the fishing the doctor does not know, but thinks it must bo through the tides. Kept Her Word. " Mary has kept her word," said a mother, speaking of her daughter who had just been married. "How is that?" asked a friend. " She used to say she wouldn't marry the best man in, the world." "But she is married." • "Oh, yes ; but she didn't marry the best man ; she married the bridegroom." The Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, assembled in New York on Tues- dayprotested against th e Chinese Restric- tion law as unjust, and ciintrary to the gen- ius of American institutions. t:\ Lines on Hearing; CHOPIN'S FUNERAL MARCH..

But baby May was well content, and midst the grasses sat And gathered starry daisies white, with dimpled liners fat, And curls of dandelion stems sire in her tresses hung, And to tate winds the golden wealth of blossoms gaily flung. Refreshed and rested, Trot and Tramp once more went on their way, And with them. still bedecked with flowers, was merry baby May • With spirits high, they galloped on by rill and running brook, And in and out, by crooked paths, their winding way they took. But ere the noontide hour had conte, said Trot, in doleful mood, "I would 1 could lad*but me down, 'tis naught I care for food.'

Layers of new wine in bottles of colored glass have been exposed to the direct rays of the sun, with the result that both flavor and quality have been improved. In the south of Europe there Inas been a practice of ripening cognac by exposing the bottles on the roof for years.
