"The tiam:tom Divided." 1. Kings 15, M.

PRACTICAL NOTES.
Verse W. All Ier'ael. Beep in mind
the two great divisions of the Hebrew
::toe, divisions which were not quite
last sight: or even under David and Sole
mon. Wlave all Israel saw,” or re-
cognized, means, therefore, when the
n11Ti horn two thirds of the united kin-
d: nn star. The king. Rshol,nlm, Heark-
eoad not unto tiw'm. Refused to give
proper runsideration to their request
for rtellef. Most of the financial profit
incidental to Solomon's immense un-
dertakings in architecture, armament,
ami commerce, and most of the glory
reflected from his court, were limit-
ed to Judah; and th' remoter parts
of t•hh nation refused Lougee to pity
for Judah'e aggrandizement, But Re-
hoboam., turning from the advice of his
father's wisest counselors, and sway-
ed by inexperienced youthful friends,
had not only refused to make conces-
sions, but h't•d treated the petitioners
with contempt. The people answered.'
Doubtless formally by their official re-
presentutives, but also by turbulent
outcries of defiance, \\-hat portion have'
we in David? What mutual rights con-'
time between us and the dynasty of
Jerusalem? They do not deny that the
young king was at the outset their
rightful sovereign; but by tramptiug
upon their rights he bad forfeited his.
Neither have we inheritance. Just as
a king inherits his kingdom, so the
kingdom inherits its king. But the ten
tribes were not thus either inberilors
or inheritance, The Son of Jesse. David,
whose father Jesse was a shepherd.
The taunt means, " That's what
your royalty comes from 0' To
your tents, 0 Israel. Get ready to
fight. See to thine own house, David.
"House" here means family, including
the royal dynasty and its belongings.
The phrase has the meaning of "Mind
your own business 1' "Hands off I"
"You rule your little Judah; we will
Dare for ourselves." So Israel depart-
ed unto their tents. In modern Eng-
lish, the assemblage broke up. The
multitude returned to their various vo-
cations in country and city.
17. The children of Israel which
dwelt in the city of Judah. The na-
tir-es of the north woo halt Keen led by
business or family interests to settle
in the south. Rehoboam reigned over
them. They neither fled back to their
homesteads nor made local disturb-
ances in Judah. They were not for-
eign by blood or by prejudice, and it
was easier not to change.
10. Adorn,, Elsewhere called Adon-
iram and Hadoram. Over the tribute.
In charge of the collection of taxes
and assessments, which were the chief
cause of complaint. A11 Israel atoned
him with atones. Probably he was -ar-
rested, charged with treason, and exe-
cuted in the name of all Israel. There-
fore. Tie consideration of the fact
that hostilities had begun. and that he

lemwas the stronghold of Rehobonm's
friends,
19. israel rebelled against the house
of David unto this day. By the blun-
der and crime of his grandson more
than one half of the beneficent results
of David's lifework were swept aside in
a day.
20. When alt Israel heard that Jer-
oboam was come again. In that leis-
urely day events did not crowd each
other es rapidly as now, It may have
taken months for the news of Jero-
boam's return to spread over "all Is-
rael. " They: had none of oar modern
devices, to lessen time and space. The
great: Ephraimitc chief bad under Sole
omonl made reputation lis at once ser-
viceablee.o the icing and kindly to the
people. Hie conflict with Solomon en-
deared him to. the masses. He was a
nobleman in rank, an able executive
and a dexterous politician. They sent
and called hirer unto the congregation.
Probably another representative gath-
ering was held, and Jeroboam was
brought to the front, No one else had
any rbance for he throne so long as
this friend of the common people lived.
.Daub(.lees he pros asked the same
questions that Rehoboam had. been
asked, whether he would maintain the
rights and privileges of Israel, and
doubtless: he answered these questions
satisfactorily, for the congregation
presently Made him (ring over all Is-
rael. There was none that followed
the house of David, but the tribe of
Judal. enly. 111 seeking the full
meaning; of this phrase we moist
not forget that 'Israel had come ba
mean the northern tribes and "Judah"

cluded, in common phraseology, both
the tribe of Simeon and most of that

21. When Rehoboam was come to
Jerusalem, hanger rapidly develop-
ed the worthier part of this rash young
one's character. He had brought his
troubles upon himself, but now !bat
they were upon biro he facts with
promptitude and propriety. He as-

against the Spanish guerillas and re-
gulars who have barrasseel thew since
last Friday, the American forces en-
camped cm Crest Heights gained a not-
able vietory on Tuesday morning, hav-
ing a hand of Cubans as allies. They
drove the Spaniards from their posi-
tion, four miles from Camp Met'alia,
killed nearly half a hundred of the
enemy, and took 18 prisoners, On the
Unitecl Staten side the only losses were
two Cubans killed, four other insur-
gents were wounded, us were two of
I the Americans„ 'Twenty-three marines
I were overcome by the heat during time
engagement. Splendid advantages
have been gained by time American for-
ces in Cuba during the last 19 hours.
For the first time since they landed
they were free from attack on Tues-
day night, This gave them a welcome
opportunety to rest after almost con-
tinuous fighting for three days and
nights. It also put the :nen in good
condition for a movement against the
enemy,
During this lull in activities the
Americans have greatly strengthened
their position, throwing up additional
fortifications and improving those they
already had. A force of Cubans with
three platoons of marines, commanded
by Limits. Moses, Hall and MoLemore,
were sent, to establish strong outposts
a mile' inland for the American camp.
This plan was carried out successfully,
and resulted in giving the overworked
battalion a much needed rest. When
it was found that the men were so
much refreshed the commanding of11-
cers decided to carry out at once the
plans which had been formulated for
an attack on the Spaniards. The enemy
was encamped at a point four miles
inland, where are the only wells with-
in many miles. If the United States
foroes could drive them from that posi-
tion it would be necessary for the
Spaniards to retreat almost to the
city of Guantanamo in order to flet a
supply of water,
THE ADVANCE.
Half of the marine uattaliun, with a
company of Cubans, began the advance
against the enemy shortly before noon.
Capt. Elliott and Limits. Neville and
Mahoney commanded the marines,
while the Cubans ware under Cols. La-
borde and Tomas. The United States
skirmish line discovered the enemy in
an underbrush, half a mile from Fort
MoCalta. Orders to attack were given
immediately, and the Americans and
Cubans rushed forward in splendid
form. They charged against the enemy
with great boldness, The action was
sharp and spirited. For a time the
onslaught of the marines was strongly
resisted, but the enemy were finally
forced to retreat. The murines press-
ed on after the fleeing Spaniards, and
did not give up pursuit until they had
put the enemy completely to rout and
had captured and mane useless its only
water supply. The party captured a
hundred Mauser rifles, and 10,0(10
rounds of ammunition. They also de-
stroyed a Spanish blockhouse and tele-
graph station, through which the Span-
iards had been keeping Guantanamo
and Santiago informed of the move-
ment of American troops,

A despatch from London says:—Tho
newspapers are printing many con-
gratulations upon the signing of the
Anglo -Chinese convention on Thurs-
day, which gives Great Britain an ex-
tension of the boundaries of Hong
Kong, including Kan Tung, of alto-
gether two hundred square m'Lles, un-
der a lease to which the greatest im-
portance is attached, as the territory
acquired is regarded as being essen-
tial for the protection of Hong Kong.
The lease comprises the Island of Lan-
tao, to the westward of Hong Kong,
and the mainland behind Kan Lung,
south and east of a line drawn from
afire bay to Deep bay. While. the
Chinese retain the northern shores of
these bays, the lease covers their wa-
ters, subject to the right of the Chinese
, to use them for their own ships.
When questioned in the House of
Commons, as to whether Russia con-
templated Sending troops to the Ya.ng-
tse-Kiang valley, the Parliamentary
Secretary for the Foreign Office, Mr.
Curzon, made an important statement
to the effeot that such a proceeding,
without the consent of China, would
be an act of war, and the Government
would take the requisite steps to pro-
tect British interests, Obviously this
; is intended as a warning to Russia
not to interefere in the Yang-tse-
j Kiang valley.

Off Santiago de Cuba, Saturday:—
Several attempts to find landing places
for the United States troops within a
distance of two miles west of Santiago,
have demonstrated along with prev-
ious enquiries Lo the eastward, that the
shore for 15 miles is lined with Span-
iards. While this will not prevent a
lauding close to Santiago, it may en-
tail considerable delay, as the sur-
rounding country must ire thorough-
ly shelled and cletlred before the troops
eau land in safety.
When Rear -Admiral Sampson on Fri-
day received advices that upwards of
30 transports would be here 011 Sat-
urday, he sent word that they should
stand to the south, ten miles, and lie
there until a landing place had been
secured,
On Friday at daylight the launches
of the New York and Massachusetts
reconnoitred the shore between Cab-
anas, two miles west of the entrance to
Santiago harbour and Guayaganascoa
two miles further west, both of which
lee outside the range of the mountains
surrounding Santiago bay. The
launches pashed their noses Into a hor-
net's nest. The brush was fairly alive
with Spenish troops, infantry, and
cavalry, and urte: fire opened upon the

A• despatch from Washington, D. C,,

propriating 6474,151 to pay the Behring

priation; is carried in the Sundry Civ -

sure is still in conference. and the
award, has to be paid on the 10th inst.
Ile resolution passed the House and
is now therefore law.
A GOOD OMEN.
The London Times in an editorial
which pretty fairly represents the
feeling expressed by the other morn-
ing: papers, says:— "The resolution to
pay the Behring Sea award is anoth-
er gratifying instance of the growth
of spirit of friendship and justice to-
ward, England in a quarter where, un-
tie recently, such feelings wero rarely
oxhibibed, It is a proof of the good
feelings which we cordially recognize
and reciprocate, as well as a good
omen for the (eetablishMent of the
Meer and more cordial relations !be-
tween'the two countries toward which
the (hest minds on both sides of the Air
tendo have been steadily moving."
In the vicinity 61 the blockhouse,
about which the enemy made a final
Vance the bodies or 40 Spaniards killed
in the engagement were found. In
preceding engagements the Spaniards
had managed to take their dead with
them, but to -day their defeat was so
complete that (hose who lived escaped
only with the greatest difficulty. '.their
dead doubtless were left on other parts
of the battlefield also, so the total
Spanish loss is believed to have been
much heavier.
All or the marines who were over-
come by the heat were found by their
comrades and brought back to camp.
They have entirely recovered,

illofenoe has fully established the
fact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain,,
When the supply of nerve force has
been diminished either by excessive
physioal 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 of nervousness, headaohe, or
stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic
indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen-
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
acho,or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowele, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache; all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organs of
the body to perform their respect!ve
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food au d health gi ver,
is asatisfying success, a wondrous boon
to tired, sink, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement) and tried all manner
of remedies without. benefit. It io a
modern, a scientific remedy, and in its
wake fellows abounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
that it is not designed to act on the
different organs affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
'anuses an increased supply of nervous
energy to be generated, which in its
turn thoroughly oils, as it were, the
machinery of the body, thereby en.
abling i t 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
aro still sceptical, we ask you to in-
vestigate them by correspondence, and
become convinced that they are true
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 04n -
ado, who know, through experience, of
the healing virtues of the South
Amerloan Nervine Tonle.
Harriet 151. Hall, of Waynetown, a
prominent and muok 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 cured me en-
tirely. I believe it is the best media
Dine in the world, I cannot recom-
mend it too highly."

—The main consideration jest at pres-
ent is the equipment of an expedition
of. greater dimensions than any here-
tofore disevssecl, with Porto Rico as
the objectives point, - A month ago,
the military authorities were inform-
ed: that a small Corte would lee suffici-

Spanish force there did not exceed 5,-

;000 or 0,000 Hurn, Now, however, time
Spanish garrisons have been so retn-
foered and tine defences strengthened
theme it is believed a naaeh larger in-
vading army will be required. More-
over, the officials, were sale:died on
learning that: the Cadiz fleet had
sailed that the ships would go to Porto
Elba rather then to Otani, if they cross-
ed to this side, It was pointed out
that this 7110441 would be the natural
strategle one for the Spanish com-
ntanders to take, as there was still
something left for then to save In
torte Rico,
The Cadiz Ilea is being narrowly
watched, eitraugh the naval view is
not similar to that taken by the army
officers. The former do not attach so
math importance to this fleet Its the
latter, and few of the officers can be
found to believe that the spites will
