A despatch from London says: -Lady Mary Hamilton, the young daughter of the late Duke of Hamilton, will be the richest heiress in England, and probably in the world. She is only about ben years old, and has inherited the bulk of the labs Duke's estate, including the Isle of Arran, which, alone, is worth 55,000,000. The whole of the Duke of Hamilton's property was at his own disposal, and the ren - tale already amount to 01,000,000 per year. The Duke's death was due to " Bunting," as the process of reduoing a person's avoirdupois is termed. Ho had succeeded in lightening himself by about sixty pounds, but the process was too mush for his vitality, and he succumbed, in spite of the efforts to save his life whioh. were made by those who had been super- vising the 13auting treatment.

There are very few inatanoes on record of a great pnbilo woman, and particularly a great herein°, having throughout lived up to her reputation, It boo often happens in these days, when notoriety ie easily ob- tained, and when the public is so ready to worship the celebrity of the moment, that a public woman fain to keep psoe with public opinion and to maintain her position in public esteem through half a Danbury of years. A great exception is Florence Nightin. gale. On the 16th day of May she eels - braced her 76th birthday -ns great a women and as great a public benefactor, and as much of a heroine, as she was forty years ago, when she went forth from her comfort. able home in England, not as a mere nurse to attend to the wants of the wounded and dying British soldiers in the Crimea, but as a fearless organizer of the great field hospital system. No one bad thought of the physical sufferings whioh would have to be under- gone by the brave soldiers who were sent. out with She prospect of a long winter campaign before them, without any ode. quare hospital arrrangemenbs having been made. When the great mistake was realized it was a woman who came forward to rectify the terrible blunder ; and it may easily be imagined that obstaelee were thrown in her way by those whose careless:. nees areless- nees and heartlessness it was her mission to involuntarily expose. But, even in those days, when news travelled slowly and when newspapers merely recorded bare facts of newel with but little comment,publio opinion was soon aroused, and when Miss Florence Nightingale arrived at the Crimea with her band of nurses she had the whole British people at her back. Few are aware that there is A PRETTY ROMANCE attached to Miss Nightingale's journey to the Crimea. 1t was generally known among her friends at the time that she had bestowed her affections on s. young officer in one of the first regiments to proceed to the Beat of war. Although it was equally well known among the same friends bbab in any case Mies Nightingale would not have hesitated for a moment to accept the responsibilities and hardships of the posi- tion offered to her, there is no doubt that the labor of love was not only one of love of humanity and of doing good, but was also to some extent inspired by a desire to ee near one whom she loved as a man more than as one of mankind. More than one generation of English girls have revelled in the story of Miss Nighbin- gale's work at Scutari ; have heard how the sink and wounded would pray for her as she walked through the line of Dots each night, lamp in hand, and how,within the apace of a fortnight, 4,000 patients, wounded or sick, were placed under her charge. One of the private soldiers whom she nursed said of her :-"She would speak to one and another, and nod and smile to many more; but she could not do it to all,you know,for we lay there by hundreds ; but we could kiss her shadow as it fell on the wall at night, and lay our heads on our pillows again, content." They have heard, too, and cannot hear often enough, the story of the dinner given to the officers of the Brit. ish army and navy on their return from the east, and how, when Lord Stratford suggested that every guest should write on a piece of paper the name of the person whose deeds in the Crimean war would engrave themselves most indelibly in the history of the British people, when the papers were examined everyone had written She name of FLORENCE NIGIITINGALE, Never hes a victorious army received such a welcohtie on its return home as did the Nurse•in-Chief of the Brfttah forces 1n the Crimea, andwf all who welcomed her, by word or spirit, there was none whose welcome was mors sincere than that of her Queen. The beautiful jewelled ornamenb which her Majesty presented to Florence Nightingale as a decoration was a symbol of the gratitude shown by a Queen to a subject. The decoration is oval in form, the ground of pure white enamel, onwhioli in diamonds are the letters " V.R." and the Royal crown. The latter is enclosed by an oval band of blank enamel -black being an emblem of good counsel -on whioh is inscribed in gold„” Blessed are the mer- ciful." On each side rise branches of palm in green and gold enamel, denoting the peaceful oeoupatioi and triumphant result. The oolor green also implies eternal friend- ship. The label bearing the word "Crimea" is in azure blue,and the whole is surmount- ed by three brillianb diamond abase, the celestial signification of which is obvious. But perhaps the good tants and beauty of this jewel are eclipsed by the noble expres- sion of the feeling of her Majesty iu the inscription borne on rho reverse :-"Ta Florence Nightingale, as a mark of esteem and gratitude for her devotion towards the Queen's brave soldiers. From Victoria R., 1866." From the severe strain which she under- went in the Crimea she has never recovered, but, in spite of having been physically ah invalid since her return, alio has done as much with her mind and her pen for the nurses and hoepibala of her country as elle did with her hands for the soldiers site loved in the Scutari huts. And it is inter. eating to note that her work has been as much iu the directtou of the prevention of disease es in that of nursing the sick. This was exemplified in a letter whioh she re. emitter addressed to village mothers. Sho advised them to see that their boys and girls grew up "healthy, with clean minds and clean shins." "Af ter all," she wrote, "Itis health, and not themes, which is one natural state. There ate more people to pick us up when we fall titan to enable it to stand on our feet," And bbe hteroduo' tion to that letter was ea follows :-" .Dear Hard -Working Tlriende I am a hard- working woman, too.

A Despotoh from London says: -.The Marquis et Salisbury, the Coneeryative ex. premier,addresoing ameeting of tbePrimrose League on Wednesday night at Bradford, drew a gloomy picture of the outlook for the country. He attributed the stagnation: of capital to the distrust of the present Government. He paid that there are sullen ranks of half.starved labourers who, if the unemployed capital be imvested, would enjoy an unrestricted industry and a happy, home. But between the overflowing coffers and the suffering labourers there flows a black, impassable stream of distrust.

Ti has often been contended by physiologists and men of science gen- erally, enerally, that jzervous energy or nerv- ous impulses which puss along the nerve fibres, were only other names for electricity. This seemingly plaus- ible statement was accepted for a time, but has been completely aban- doned since it has been proved that the nerves are not good conductors of electricity, and that the velocity of a nervous impulse is but 100 feet per second—which is very much slower than that of electricity. It is now generally agreed that nervous energy, or what we are pleased to call nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious force, in whioh dwells life itself. A very eminent specialist, who has studied profoundly the workings of the nervous system for the last twenty-five years, has lately demon- strated that twb-thirds of all our ailments and chronic) diseases are due to deranged nerve centres within or ab the base of the brain, All know that an injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis to the body below the injured point. The reason for this is, that the nerve totes is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralysed portion. Again, when food is taken into the stomach, it comes in sestina WS% numberless nerve fibres in the walls of this organ, which at once send a nervous ithpulse to the nerve centres whioh control the stomach, notifying. them of the presence of food; where- upon the nerve centres send down a supply of nerve force or nerve, fluid, to at once begin the operation of digestion. But let the nerve centres whioh control the stomach be de- ranged and they will not be able to respond with a sufffoient supply of nerve force, to properly digest the food, and, as a result, indigestion and dyspepsia make their appearance. So it is with the other organs of the body, if the nerve centres which con- trol them and supply them with nerve force booms deranged, they are also deranged. The wonderful success of the remedy known as the Great South American Nervine Tonic is due to the fact that it is prepared by one of, the most eminent physicians and specialists of the age, and is based on the foregoing scientific discovery. It possesses marvellous powers for the cure of Nervousness, Nervous, Prostration, Headache, Sleeplessness.
