if all are suonessfnl.
IT is hinted that W, D, Balfour, M. P.
P. for South Essex, and editor of the
Amberstburg Soho, may be the next
Speaker of the Local Legislature, It
would be a good appointment.
Tne chief danger in the situation in the
East ie due to the faot that Russia is anx-
ious to secure for herself a naval port in

AN order in council bas been passed
by the Dominion Government asking the
Executives of Manitoba and the North.
West to modify their school laws in or.
der to remove some alleged grievances of
the Roman Catholics.
Tan opponents of Sir Oliver Mowat,
who during the campaign so zealously
argued for the holding of sessions of the
Legislature ouoe every two years, now de-
mand a session within six months of the
last one held. But the Legislature will
not meet till the usual time.
WHEAT harvesting in Manitoba hag
commenced. There is every reason to
believe that the entire crop will be saved
without damage by the frost. In Ontario
also the harvest prospects are good. The
outlook for a brisk fall trade is exceed-
ingly encouraging.
able in winter as well as summer. The
same nation is also stirring up antagon-
ism between Norway and Sweden in the
hope that ebe may be able, in the event
of hostilities, to secure a port on the
const of Norway that will make her na-
val power felt on the Atlantic. Russia
ie the great disturbing, element to -day,
as she has been for half a century past.
CnnrA and Japan are into a war that
will cost millions of dollars and cause
great loss of life. Both nations appear to
be equally willing to engage in the strug-
gle,
trnegle, and their respective armies are so
well equipped with modern implements
of destruction that the engagements' will
likely be brief yet sanguinary. The
island of Corea, which will be the battle-
field, has not been worthy of particular
note in the past. The king's ministers
and the chief nobles have from 50 to 200
wives each, according to their wealth and
ability to maintain large domestic estab-
lishments. Chastity is unknown in that
realm, for which reason it is a capital
offence for any male person except the
Ling to look at his wives. All"the minis-
ters and potty officers have absolute auth-
ority over those beneath them. The gov-
ernors may take the lives -of the people in
their provinces at will, and the officials
beneath the governors, alear,downto what
would in this country be tae assessors,
may torture or kill those under them,
whether the latter have committed offenc-
es or not. No officer may have redress
from those above him, but each is subject
to the whims of his superior as absolutely
as are those below to his tyranny. When
the King goes out all doors and windows
are carefully closed, for not only ie it
treason to mention his name, but he is
as invisible to his people as the Chinese
Emperor himself, and the ruler of the
Hermit Kingdom is a veritable hermit
from the outside world. His palace is at
Seoul, the capital of Corea, a city which
stands on the River Han. Its streets are
narrow and dirty, and the houses are des-
cribed as beggarly in the extreme. The
population of the city, including its ex-
tensive suburbs, is estimated at 800,000.
The royal palace is a gigantic building,
and with its adjuncts covers 600 acres of
ground.
WE have reoeived the Annual Report
of the Bureau of Industries for the Prov-
ince
rovince of Ontario containing municipal sta-
tistics of great interest. During 1892

ioipalities for roads, bridges and other

grand total being 84,218,856.00.
Uaiwa the present law, elle revision of
the;Dominion'Voters' lists should begin
on June let and be finally completed on
December 31st. The last revision in
East Huron took place in 1891. The
only change made in the law at the ses-
sion just closed was postponing the time
for beginning work this year, for a couple
of months. The revising officers will be-
gin work almost at once on the prepara-
tion of the preliminary lists, which are to
be completed by October 1st: The time
for final revision will begin on the 1st of
Ootober and extend two months longer
than usual, or until the 280h of February,
1895.
NIGH TO DEATH'S DOOR.
How a Young Lady was Cured of a Ter•
tilde Malady When Near the Brink
of the Grave.
The large, pretentious brick residence
at 86 Miami avenue, in this city, is the
home of the heroine of this interesting
story. She is Miss Margaret Stenbaugh,
and her interesting experiences during
the past four years are published here
for the first time.
"Four years ago," she said, "I was a
sufferer in all that the term implies, and
never thought of being as healthy as I
am to -day. Why, at that that time, I
was such a scrawny, puny little midget,
Pale and emaciated by an ailment peed -
tar to us women, that my father and
mother gave me up to die. The local
practitioner (I was at that time living at
Scotland, Brant Co., Ont.,) said it was
only a matter of days when I would be
laid away in the church yard, and as I
was suoh a sufferer I eared not whether I
lived or died ; in fact, think I would have
preferred the latter. "I could not walk,
and regularly every night my father used
to carry me up stairs to my room. I re•
member my telling him that he wouldn't
have to carry me about much longer, and
how be said with tears in his eyes, that
he would be willing to do it always, if he
could only have me with him. It was
evidently foreordained that I should not
die at that particular time, as a miracul-
ous transformation in my condition was
the talk of the neighborhood. I read of
the wonderful cures that were being
wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, and my father went to
Brantford, where he purohaeed a couple
of boxes from Jas. A. Wallace. I com-
menced taking them, and I thought for a
time that they did me no good, as they
made me sick at first, but very shortly I
noticed a great change. They began to
sot on my trouble, and in the short space
of six months I was able to walk. I con-
tinued taking the pills, andin six months
I was in the condition you see me now.
I fully believe that they alone saved me
from the grave, and you will always find
myself and balance of our family ready
to talk about the good Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills slid for me."

15th day of December, 1898.
