LORD MAYOR'S PARADE, THE PROCESSION WAS A GREAT SPECTACULAR SUCCESS. Rain was Finita, but Despite This the Line of UMW} ivn8 Thronged -rhe Irsunl Gnat et Ueren,onle4. A despatele front London, says: -In spite of a thick drizzle and v. heavy fog, the ancient custom of Preseetin;g the ,elected, Chief Magistrate of Lon- doteeo the representatives of. the Sow-. crags; and to the people was observ- ed ore Ttiesdsy with success. Throngs of people lined the route, and the de- eorati.ons were more ambitious Than usual. They oontsistect mainly of tri- umphal arches, Venetian masts, floral festoons, and a liberal display of bunt- ing. But int spite of the weather a, more stirring proof of the popularity; of London's yearly pageant, known as the Lord Mayor's. procession, bas not been given in a long time, due very largely to thb conspicuously brilliant year of office of the retiring Chief Magistrate, the Right Hon. Sir Geroge Faudel-Phillips, Bart., K•G.C.I,E, Even the Radical critics who annually pro - teat against the existence at the cor- poration of London within the area dominated by the 'Co'un'ty Council, had , N'OTTFI'ING BUT PRAISE for the altogether admirable official career of Lord Mayor Phillips, which has given the quietus for years to come to any attempt at abolishing the cor- poration. It was not surprising, tb'ere- fore, that the procession passed through dense masses of cheering people, while windows, balconies, and roofs were utilized to a surprising degree, and the larger open places, such as Tree falser square,, were crowded to their utmost capacity. • The " show" although attractive as a mere spectacle,• looked even more tawdry then usual in the fog, rain, and mud, although to many people these circumstances slid not make it any the lose attractive as a historical relic a survival df the days wb'en the corporation of the city of London played its part m the: contest for con- stitutionae freedom and material well- being. The procession included a car rep- resenting ";British sports," with a buntsman, 'bieyolist, etc., including an Indian, representing Prince Benjit- sinhji, illustrating cricket. Anotber car depicted the founders of Great Britain, including Sir Walter R,aleigb, Ad- miral Penn, Warren Hastings, Lord Clive, and Cecil Rhodes. An old stage coach, of the year 1837, was followed by a modern motor car, presenting a striking contrast of the modes of lo- comotion in the past and present times, Then there were the usual contingent of soldiers, sailors, firemen, artillery, and the city companies, the whole thickly interspersed with HANDS OF MUSIC. ; ' 'When the procession reached the Law Courts, the Lord Mayor, in his full civic robes,receded by the re- tarder, Sir Forest Fulton, and attend- ed, by the retiring Lord Mayor, the sheriffs, the mace bearer, sword bear- er, chaplain, aldermen in their sable - trimmed gowns, together with other civic, functionaries, proceeded to the court -room oe the Lord Chief Justice, where they ware received by the judges, attired in scarlet robes. There the usual solemn courtesies were ex- changed, the Lord Mayor in exercise of an immemorial right remaining cov- ered, while the recorder react an eulo- gistic review of the new Lord Mayor's career. From the cnurt, after the retiring Lord Mayor had been formally pre- sented to the judges by Sir Forest Fulton, the procession went to the Court of Appeal, and was received by the Master of the Bolls null the Ap- peal Justices, attired in their robes of black and gold.

Mr. ;Fisher., it is understood, went on the expedition in order to re- port: ors the feasibility of the Hudson Bay route for Atlantic steamers carry- ing grain from the Northwest, the scheme being to run a railway from Winnipeg to Port Churchill and tran- ship there, the carriage by rail being lessened 600 miles as compared with Montreal and the ocean vovage being also materially shortened. Mr. Fisher states that he is idolised with the out- look, but does not go into details of the results of the observation, The Diana left Halifax Juno 4.

When the supply of nerve force has been diminished either by excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve centres, we are first conscious' of a languor or tired and worn-out feeling, then of a mild form pf nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and agen- eral sinking of the whole system. In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health; nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pain, 10 weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart disease, or siok headache; all of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the different organs of rho body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food and health giver, is asatis£ying success, a. wondrous boon to tired, siok, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its scene folowia abounding health. Tt in aniikie all other remedies in bis not designed to act on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centres, which aro nature's little batteries, it nausea an increased supply of nervous turn thoroughly oils, as it were, the machinery of the body, thereby en. abling it to perform perfectly its dif- ferent functions, and without the slightest friction. If you have been reading of the re- markable cures wrought by South American Nervine, accounts of which we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we ask you to in- veetigate them by correspondence, and become convinced that they are trop to the letter. Such a course may save you months, perhaps years, of suffer. ing and anxiety. The words that follow are strong, but they emanate from the heart, and speak the sentiments of thousands of women in the United States and Can- ada who know, through experience, of the healing virtues of the South American Nervine Tonic. Harriet E. Rall, of Waynetowa, 2L prominent and much respected lady, writes as follows :— "I owe my life to the great South American Nervine Tonic, I have been in bed for five months with a scrofulous tumour in my right side, and suffered with indigestion and nervous prostration. Had given up all hopes of getting well. Had tried three doctors, with no relief. The first bottle of Nervine Tonic improved me so much that I was able to walk about, and a few bottles cored me en- tirely. I believe it is the best medi- cine in the world. I cannot recom- mend it too highly." Tired women, can you do batt,;y than become acquainted with thin energy to be generated, which in its truly great remedy 4 Sold by Deadman & McColl 10. Above all.
