A. despatch from Vichoria, B. C., says:
—The storehouses of the Victoria
Chemical Co., were destroyed by fire
on Tuesday, entailing a loss of 025,-
000. There were no fatalities, but the
exploding chemicals produced a gen-
eral panic. The United Slates ship
Manztenta was anchored in the har-
bour, and the rumour was quickly etre
collated that a Spanish warship had
pUrSiled her under fere.
The fire originated in the corner of
one of the outbuildings, in which the
chemicals were stored. .As to the cause
the only explanation is that this morn-
ing the manufacture of nitric; acid was
being carried 041 in the laboratory, and
the combustible ingrediOntS may have
become ignited. There were about five
hundred tons of niteate and sulphas' in
the buildings. The lose is fully cover -

RIGHTS OF A PEERESS.
There are 10 women in Great Britain
who are peeresses in their own right,
not by marring°. Waite they are de-
prived of some of the rights held by
the men who are pears, notably that of
a seat in the Howie of Lords, they
share others, such as the right to de-
mand audience with the sovereign, to
represent views on public wallets, to
be tried by one's peers i1 convicted of
felony. A. 'rearm in her own right
retains her title afLer marriage, no
mattee hoer humble her husband maty
be ; but a peeress by marriage, if she
becomes a widow, loses her title on re-
marrying below her title. Sometimes
the husband of a peeress takes his
wile's name. For instance, Margaret of
Newburgh, the celebrated Countess of
Wareviok, Married John Flarshall, and
he beceme Earl of Warwick, Slmilar in-
stances of the proem may are the h(15 -
beside of Baroness Burdeet-Coutts, who
took the title of Baron. The state robes
of peeresses are very gorgeous, 0011 -

PRACTICAL NOTES.
;Verse 14. Elielue was fallen siok of
his shimmer whereof bo illed. He Was
now fully eighty years of. age. Bur -
tug his long life he had ted t brolly (serv-
ed both his God and hie Icing. After
the VisiOn at Dolimn, which tve 11 tidied
in our host 183431011, ille rely of Samaria
was besieged. by the Syritins. Their
aerates surrounded it cloisely. and the
ogony and distress of the garrison and
the inhabitants have isehleen been 0(11"
1)11.800(1. Even children were eaten,
and the most repulsive articles of
food were sold for fabulous prices. In
his desperation the king sent Lo be.
head Elisha, but Ellehe. Rum/unveil that
within twenly-fuur bows the famine
would be replaced by SUperabauthuice;
and 31. ISMS so. The whole story is full
of ,suggestion. And now after more
years of unrecorded goodness Elisha is
dying. Joash the king 09 150301 came
down unix) hien. Things had strange-
ly changed in Israel since Elisbe, be-
gan his ministrations. The godly
work of his predecessor, Elijah, had had
deep effect on lbe national character
and .sentiment, and when Misha as a
young man picked up the older
prophet's mantle and started un his
career as the prophet of Israel it
was quite another Israel from that
which he was 11011 about to leave. Then
the influence or Ahab's family and
the foul worship ol Baal were fele
everywhere; new Ahab's dynasty was
no more, and Baal for a while was for-
gotten in Israel. It is true there was
much of sin and open idolatry. ft is
also true, however, that the most of
the people accepted the eras doctrine
of Jehovah. For forty-five years and
more Elisha has not been mentioned
in the Bible record. Joush woe a de-
scendant of Jolla whn had usurped
the throne and put to death all the re-
presenealiyes of Ahab'e family tbat he
could find. Vigorous as Joliet was, he
had not been able to maintain himself
successfully against the Sy 01011,9 and
Assyrboas, but the kingdom had grown
up to comparotive strength again, and
Lhe influence of Elisha had. come to
be regarded by both king and sub-
jects as one of Lhe powerful forces
working toward national prosperty,
Wept, over his face. The king's sorrow
for Elisha's death was sincere, and it
should have been, for he owed his roy-
al inheritance to lelisha's influence and
acts. 0 my fattier, my father 1 In all
religious ministers have been adressed
as "father." That is the ordinary title
of a Romen Catholic. priest. Frequently

pel, and the tale Pope has the stone

horsemen thereof. fA. pliraSe equiva-
lent to the standing army of the na-
tion. It was acompliment of the high-
est sort, phrased in exactly the words
that Elisha himself had used when his
" father," Elijah, had been taken from
him to heaven. It was more ctr leas
proverbial, and in any case carried the
idea that no fortifications that: Israel
Wald construct were equal in their
defensive power to one good man whose
eyes were opened by the spirit of God.
That a king should. visit a prophet was
astounding; and in the Eust prophets
were kept by kings as servants. The
reverence ol Joash for Elisha gives us
a fawarable view of some phases of
the king's character.

was the land, of symbols, and when the

Belem% has fully established the
face 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
physical or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve centres, we
are arab conscious of a languor or tired
and worn-oub feeling, thon of a mild
Form of nervousness, headache, 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
ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache ; all of which
aro brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different orgo.ne of
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food audhealth giemr,
is &satisfying success, &wondrous boon
to tired, aid; and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit. It is a
modern, a soientific remedy, and in its
:rake follows 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 011 the nerve centres,
which are umture's little batteries, it
eauses an increased impiety of nervoue
energy to be generated, which in its
torn 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-
vestigate them by correspondence, and
become convinced that they aro true
to the letter. Such a course may 9008
you months, perhaps years, of suffer-
ing and anxiety.
Tho 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 Toni°,
Harriet E. 119.11, of Waynetowos,
prominent and muck respected lady,
writes as follows :—
" I owe my life to the great South
American Nervine Toni°, I have
been in bed for five months with a
scrofulous tumour in my right side,
and suffered with indigestion and
nervoue 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 medi-
cine in the world. I cannot recom-
mend it too highly."
