Open Criticism by Workingmen of the Ways of Lord Dudley. The English workingman is not far behind his American brother in indepen- dence of thought and open criticism of the 'ways of those higher in the social scale than himself. On the occasion of the marriage of Lord Dudley it was proposed to the town council of Kidderminster, near which town Lord Dudley's seat is situated, to present him with a wedding present and address of . congratulation. Worcester had subscribed • for sever,a1 magnificent pieces of china, a right royal gift, to be presented on the home -corning of the bride and bridegroom, sam, and Kidderminster objected to be eclipsed. The proposal, however, met with great 1 opposition, and several workmen spoke very feelingly on the subject. Mr. Rowe, a weaver, gave his opinion that when a town like Kidderminster was called to do honor to any man there should be something about him to merit it. He should be a man trying to make the community better than it is, while, accord- ing to his ideas, judging Lord Dudley on n his merits, no honorable man could subscribe for a presentation to him. If the town council were so anxious to raise a subscrip- tion, a fund. for releaving the distress among local artisan, said Mr. Rowe, would be far more deserving of support than a " presen- • tation to a man whose past life had been spent on race courses." But the righteous weaver did not utterly condemn the proposal, moving that the question should be adjourned for five years, when, if Lord Dudley, had reformed his career, the proposal might be -further con sidered and the approval of the town of Kidderminster might crown his -efforts. Another valiant workman ea,ssieted in , raising the standard. of revolt eagainst the • conservative prejudices! of the town council, • and remarked that if Load Dudley was to receive a present solely because he was the son of his father and had been lately mar- ried, they might on the same grounds make presentations every hour in the day and every day in the week. He seconded his predecessor's proposal with reference to the fend for relieving the artisans, who, he rightly insisted, were far more in want of a gift than the young peer. Lord Dudley's inceme, said he, is £100,000, while many of the men were in want of food. Certainly one could not have a better illusbration of the text : "To those who have to them shall be given," than the somewhat snobbish desire to give costly wedding gifts to the newly married pair, who must have a superfluity, while their fellow -citizens are starving ; but the righte- ous protest of the speakers was, I need scarcely say, disregarded, and Lord Dudley will get his wedding gift. The Burke and Hare Murders. A man has just died in England who was personally associated with events that gave to the language a new word—the verb, to burke. Dr. Wharton Jones, now dead in his 84th year, was assistant in 1827 to Sir William Ferguson, of Edinburgh. In that ..year an old pensioner died in the house of a mau named Hare, owing him some £4. At Hare's instance a man named Burke sold the body for dissection, receiving £7 108. Then Hare and Burke committed a shocking series of murders for the sake of disposing of the bodies. They were found out, .^and the physicians were suspected. The Lancet reproduces part of Burke's confession, declaring that the doctors had not " incoureged him, nither taught nor incoreged him to murder any person, nether that worthy gentleman, Mr. Fergeeon, was the only man that ever mentioned anything aboutthe bodies." So • " barking" came into use to designate : killing from pecuniary motives, ancl later was extended figuratively to embrace politi- cal assaults upon character. A. Fable With a Moral. One day a Lie broke out of its Inclosure .and started to travel. And the man who owned the premises saw it after it had started and was sorry that be had not made the Inclosure Lie- etight. So he called his swiftest Truth and said : "A Lie has gone loose and will do much Mischief it it is not stopped. I want you to go after it and bring it back or kill it I" So the swift Truth started out after the Lie. But the Lie had one hour the start. At the end of the first day the Lie was going lickety-split. The Truth was a. long way behind it and was getting tired. It has not yet caught up. And never will. A Bitch 1I1 Traffic.

A CAPE BRETON MIRACLE. e • A °ABE THAT FAIRLY OUTRIVAL$ THE WONDERFUL HAMILTON OHRE. Hopeless, Helpless and Given up as "One Who Rust Soon Go "—An Interesting Otory as Investigated by a Reporter. (Halifax Herald, December lath.) A few months ago all Canada was astounded by a remarkable cure reported from the eity of Ila.rnilton, Ont., and vouched for by the press and many of the leading residents of that city, In the Hamilton case the man (a Mr. Marshall) had been pronounced incurable, and, after rigid examination by half a score of physi- cians, the Royal Templars of Temperance paid him the $1,000 members of that Order are entitled to when pronounced totally incapacitated from labor. The remarkable narrative of Mr. Marshall's cure and the remedy to which he owed his recovery were given wide publicity by the press through- out the Dominion, and naturally it brought a ray of hope to others who are similarly suffering. Among the homes to which it thus brought hope was that of Mr. Joseph Jerritt, of North West Arm, C. B. and Mr. Jerritt's recovery may be regarded as even more marvellous than that of Mr. Marshall, and many others whose cures have recently been recorded. One thing, however, is certain, and that is, that never before in the history of Cape Breton has medicine wrought such an almost miraculous cure. In the year 1879 Mr. Jerrittreceived a fall from a truck waggon, the wheel of which passed over the small of his back. Those with him succeeded in restoring him to consciousness and took him to his home, which was near by. For six months he was unable to perform any work, and even after a lapse of a year was troubled with severe pa.ins and weakness of the limbs. He was able, however, to do light work about the farm, and about a year later shipped on a vessel bound for Charleston, S. C. While on this trip Mr. Jerritt was engaged in furling sail, when heoverreached himself, and felt something start, as though something had burst in his left side. He became almost helpless, and on the arrival of the vessel at Charleston he was taken to the hospital for medical treatment. Here he remained for over two months under the most skilful physicians. His side became strong again, but his limbs grew week and frequently the pains were intense. Mr. Jerritt then returned home. He continued to grow worse and the pains never left him. After his return home he made an attempt to work, but had to give it up, and gradually became worse and worse until at last he was entirely helpless and was looked upon by his friends as one who not only could. not recover, but whose time on earth was short. It was in this condition, depressed in mind, .helpless, and continually Fathering in- tense pain, that at last a ray of hope came to him. One day he read in the Hali- fax Herald of Mr. Marshall's remarkable cure. Symptoms in this case were those of his own, and despite the fact that he had already expended hundreds of dollars in patent medicines and medical treatment, without receiving any benefit, he deter- mined to try the remedy that had restored Mr. Marshall to healthy. The result is that he is again restored to health and strength. Hearing from various sources of Mr. der- ritt's remarkable recovery, the local reporter determined to investigate the matter, and gives his story as told by him. "in my early days," said Mr. Jerritt, "I was one of the strongest young men in our village. Until I received the fall in 1879 I did not know anything about sickness, and after that time I did not know a perfectly well day. I tried to fight the trouble off and. to work, and partially succeeded up to the time I received the strain on board the ship while bound for Charleston. Since then ma: limbs have continued to grow worse until I was compelled to give up work altogether, and send for a doctor. I may add that all kinds of medicine was tried, but none did me any permanent good. The physicians of our place said my disease was locomotor ataxy, and although several of them treated me, none gave much hope of recovery ; in fact, the impression became general that "poor Josenust soon go." After the failure of doctors' treatment I again resorted to patent medicines, of which I believe I have taken $500 worth. Still my disease grew worse, and finally I was unable to even move from my bed. I was advised to again go to the hospital in Halifax, and after spending two months there I returned home only to find myself even worse than before. My legs became so weak that I could not stand alone, having to use two chairs to steady myself with ; I could not bear my weight on them. For five weeks I was between Jife and death. My left leg swelled to an enormous size and the doctors pronounced it dropsy. My feet and legs have been cold for over five years until the last three months. It was impossible for me to sleep with the pain which would con- tinually be in my legs and body. Mustard drafts were applied, but no sooner would they be taken off than the pain would return. About one year ago I lost all feel- ing from my legs • they would feel like ice and to move them caused the greatest agony. I prayed that God would take me from this worldand give me relief from the torment which I was hourly in. Thus I lived ; not lived, but existed, a suffering being without one day's relief from the most excruciating pangs from the disease." How the face of the hitherto sufferer brightened as he began to tell of the release, as it were; from death, and con- tinuing he said : "But from the blackest day of my sickness a glimmer of hope shone when my little girl who brought home my paper read the advertisement of Dr. 'Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and I got her to read to 'me the cure effected in the case of John Marshall, of Hamilton. As soon as she read the statenrints contained therein, I saw at once that his case was similar to mine, and I told my wife that I believed I would be a well man again if I only could succeed in obtaining some of this medicine. I sent to our drug store, but found name there. rthen decided to send to Brock- ville, Ont., for the Pills, but my neighbors only laughed at me, saying that they were just like al. other patent medicines, n'is good, This: was in August. I forwarded the money and in a few days received two boxes of Pills deciding to give them a fair. trial. After teking them a short time the pain left me, and to -clay I am not troublecl with an ache or pain. True, my limbs have not yet entirely recovered heir former :strength, but it makes me happy to know if fivebences will enable me to stand with just a little aseistance more will continue and complete the care. Dead legs for a year are not easily made perfectly strong again, but," here Mr1 jerritt threw both lege :high into the air, this is something, Myself or ney friends never hoped to see. All my neighbots gave me up for dead, bat thank Clod my strength is teturning, and after three months t feel like a now man. You need not tear to state imy ease plainly„ as 1 am well known be Cape Breton, and all the peeple hereabout lenew how fax gone I was.

Wly appetite has returned ; my strength is renewed, and when my limbs become a little 'stronger 1 shall be a healthier man than ever. No doubt existe in my !Mod of complete euro, as the worst symptoms have entirely disappeared and I seem invigorated by the medicine. You see," he said to the reporter, I am to work mending nets, as I feel too well to remain idle. Every person who saw me last Ally and eees me now can bear testimony to the truth of the story I am telling you. My weight, since I began taking the Pills, has increased from 125 pounds to 146 pounds, and, I am heavier' now than I have been for five years. I hope what I have told you will inclace other sufferers to try this wonderful medicine, and I am sure they will have as good ' reason to feel grateful tor it as I do." After the interview with Mr. Jerritt, the reporter called on a number of his neigh- bors, all of whom endorsed his statementa, and said they considered his cure one of the most wonderful things that had came within their observation. They one and all gave the credit to the treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and are naturally enthusiastic in speaking of them. The proprietors of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills state that, they are not a patent medi- cine, but a opecific preparation, the result of years of careful study on the part of an eminent graduate of McGill and Edinburgh Universities, and they had for many years been used. in his private practice before being offered for sale throughout the coun- try. They are offered to the public as a never -failing blood builder and health re- storer, curing all diseases such as 'paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, pal- pitation of the heart, headache, pale and sallow complexion, muscular weakness, etc. These Pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, bearing down pains, chronic constipation and all forms of weakness, building up the blood and restoring the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over- work, or excesses of any nature. The proprietors deem it their duty to caution the public against imitations. These Pills are never sold in any form except in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, They are sold by all drug- gists or will be sent post paid upon receipt of price, 50 cents a box—by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., or Morristown, N. Y. LAURENCE OLIPIRANT. A. Letter Found Explaining Why Ue Lef Barris' Community. A special from an Francisco to the New York Tribune says: Miss A. A. Chevallier, of Boston, who spent several months at ThomasLakellfarris' Brotherhood. of the New Life" community at Fountain Grove, Sonoma County, Cali- fornia, has since then gathered there and among ex -members a large amount of ma- terial which substantiates her charge that Harris is conducting the brotherhood on as immoral principles as were those of the Oneida community. She found in Harris' house and library pictures and small belong- ings of Laurence Oliphant and his wife, which they abandoned when they suddenly left the community. She also holds letters written by Laurence Olipant from Haifa, Syria, which explain the cause of his rupture with Harris, a cause which was not ex- plained by Mrs. Margaret Oliphant in her memoirs. Miss Chevallier declares that these letters show plainly that when Harris approached the "celestial amours of the counterparts," a doctrine worse than Mor- mon polygamy, Oliphant's eyes were opened. In a letter which Oliphant vvrote from Haifa, in May, 1885, he says of Harries: "My earnest prayer is that Herris' eyes may be opened; that he may once more be restored to that moral sanity which might make him a useful man. Unfortunately, his main peculiarity is reckless disregard for the truth. I severed all connection with him, because among other things, I had reason to believe he had entirely abandoned the early purpose of his life, and was selling for gold at his own private ends the gifts which God had entrusted him for the service of humanity, thus converting him from a religious reformer into a reli- gious imposter. When I became convinced that such was the case, I seceded at a sacri- fice of several thousand pounds, and abandoned a largo portion of my library, clothing and other property, of which he had taken possession.' Since Miss Chevallier left the Harris community she has,obtained many affidavits from ex -members, detailing practices of the grosest 'sensuality which they witnessed. As Harris has lately begun a new propa- ganda in England, she wants to check his influence for evil, and she proposes soon to lay her proofs before President Harrison. The Pretty Woman.

'he SoIng of reeee on /Earth Ifitronglient the Centuries. (Front Ramer's Bezels) To review even briefly the wonderful Christmas singing and playing in the thir- teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries is beyond our ; yet what scenes, splen- did, romantic, and glowing with fife, form and color, mention of those old pa,gearats coo *lemon up ! Account -books of the day, preserved in the British Magnum, show what vast sums were apent upon thena Cheapside, Tower Hill, Southwark, even forlorn and fallen Whitechapel, were scenea of such festivities. They wake to life as we read of the carolling processions of the olden time ; yet, as may well be imagined, such redundant doings Ied to excesses, and then authority had to step in. Ministers and priests forbade much that had been customary, while with the Puritans came an absolute law ' against even the singing of carols. Queer droning music, tuneless and depressing, was that of Cromwell's choice; yet here and there, in the homes of the better classes, voices were not to be silenced. Had they not the precedent of the angels? As Jeremy Taylor says of that first Christmas music, "As soon as those blessed choristers had sung their Christmas carol, and taught the Church a hymn to put into her offices for- ever on the anniversary of this festivity, the angels returned to heaven." their earthly message sung for all a waking Christian world. Meantime in other lands the people had caught up the Song of the Nativity. In Italy the music of Christmas day for cen turies was famous, the Sistine Chapel being historic for its work of praise that great day, and from the sweep of the Beneclictus and Maznificat we reach the sweet, soft notes of those Calabrian shepherds, called Pifferari, who came down from the mountains to sing Christmas hymns from place to place, visiting chiefly stables,where they have a tradition the Child Jesus has passed by. To dictate precisely what should and what ehould not constitute good Christmas singing is not possible ; but of course there are, as in every branch of the divine art, certain guiding rules, the first one being that all music appropriate for the day should be joyous and expressive of thanks to God, while there are solemn parts of every service of such thanksgiving, of course, as with every deep joy is the " stillness " in heart and voice and utter- ance. No home but should have its own festival of rejoicing; and let those who seek for home harmonies search only the Noels or carols of France, or the hymns of those English writers who had vast cathedral aisles to fill, yet contrived to preserve an exquisite simplicity in all their work. We need to preserve every Christian tra- dition dearly. If the yule -log cannot be lighted, yet, from year to year, we can surely keep a fire of good -will and cheer, and rekindle the old flame, as they who have the yule are wont to do. In the old times we have been considering, a custom was maintained which we have seen revered in that same Norfolk dwelling mentioned before, when, after the Christmas dinner had been enjoyed, the lovina cup was passed around, doors at one end of the long hall were thrown open, and there entered a company of perhaps fifty people—guests of the host, humble men and women and children, invited from far and wide. After O word of welcome all arose, and, as with one voice, sang that most perfect of old Christmas hymns, "With hearts truly gratefeeh.J, - Centuries ago other carols were sung there, and, as now, a feast provided for one and all, while the question of rank was for that day forgotten. Later, in the orchards, the songs of the season were sung—a tradi- tion prevailing that this insures a good crop for all during the coming year. Our theme is endless, yet it is embodied in one dominant idea. Whether the notes of a great organ fill a cathedral, whether the humblest "waits" go from door to door, there should be one thought uppermost: We sing the message of the angels, we praise God, and our hearts should remember, Peace on earth is the glory of the day.

"In every parting, dearest, there is the image of death," he whispered, holding her close and kissing her passionately, "and we may never meet again." Oh, George, darling !" she said, cling- ing to him almost fiercely. "Who knows, my own, what may hap- pen between this hour and when we meet again ?" " Mizpah," she breathed, and threw her arms about him convulsively. "Yes, darling, he spoke tremuously, " let us keep that word as our shield and armor." "And you will come back to me; to your own little loving Lillian, George; the same beautiful and brave George you have al- ways been?" "Trust me, Lillian, darling; trust your George." "Oh, darling," she said, strong in the faith of woman. "I do trust you. How could I love you so if I did not ? " and she kissed him fondly. "Then I shall come again, Lillian, my own." "But when, George? When?" she asked anxiously. "At 8 this evening, darling:" "Oh, George," she wailed, will it be so long as that? So long, so long?" He took leer in his strong arms, tenderly.

If a man has a corn, says the indica _Rub- ber Fork!, it can be removed, but if he is suffering from rubber foot fever, no chiropo- dist can help him and the only thing to prescribe is liberal bathing of the feet and removal of the cause.
