Hazael, John and Elisha are to be "the ministers of divine vengeance against the house of Ahab.' Shall Eli- sha slay -These words cannot be ex- plained literally, for we do not read of any who were slain by the hand of Eli- sha, but "his voice and his labors for the overthrow of false worship were con- stant, and by the 'sword of his mouth' he overthrew the foes of Jehovah," figelrlent necessitated retraced steps, The call was to practical work, It was to anoint three men to carry out the pur- poses of God in. Israel. It was to per- sonal work, dealing with individuals. Hazael he was to anoint king of Syria to afflict apostate Israel for their sins; Jeh a to be king of Israel to punish the wicked house of Ahab; Elishato be pro. phet in his stead. God. used a variety of instruments in the accomplishment of his work. Backsliding from God is an awful sin, and terrible woe is the doom of those who thus fall away. As the feeling of loneliness in the cause of Je- hovah was the chief reason • of his dis- couragement, so, it was the crowning word of encouragement to be assured that there were seven thousand true men and women, all heart and soul with him, in the great work of spiritual re- formation. When God talks to men it puts to flight their pessimism. A prophet at work. Elijah at once began his work. He found Elisha plow- ing in his field, and ordained him for the prophetic office. After giving a fare- well dinner to his friends and a parting kiss to his father and mother, Elisha fol- lowed him, and when the fiery chariot translated his master, the mantle of the prophet fell upon him. And when Eli- jah was restored to God's favor and did useful service he never regained his lost place of power and prestige with the peo- ple.

Berlin, Aug- 29.. -Lloyd's Berlin issue for the current week publishes statis- tics of the news furnished by tele- grams from the seat of war in the far east since the opening of hostilities, showing that if every telegram had told the truth Russia would have already lost 28 battleships like the Retvizan, 38 of the Petropavlovsk type, 145 cruisers, 411 torpedo boat destroyers, 1,487• torpedo boats, with 80,500 wounded soldiers, 186,- 000 prisoners of war and 93,000 killed, Japan, according to news received, would have lost 49 armored cruisers, 84 other cruisers, 98 destroyers and 594 torpedo boats, while her losses in sol- diers would have been 98,000 killed, 11%- 000 prisoners of war, and 131,000 wound- ed. The same statistics give Port Arthur as assaulted twelve times, in one in - stance being taken after a hard fight, and six more tinges surrendering. • MURD)jd WILL OUT. Man Confesses to Crime Committed Thirty-three Years Ago. Oarbondale, III., Aug. 20, -The mys- tery that•for thirty-three years has sur- rounded the murder of John W. Gates' brother, Gilbert, has been cleared. Alex- ander Jester, the• man accused of it, confessed, according to information re-. ceived in this city yesterday. Jester has just died. Gates was killed in Hulanis lane. Au - drain County, Mo., in January, 1871. He was travelling overland with Jester, who III. The call of Thisbe- (vs. 19-21), Eli- jah went as he was commanded and found Elisha ploughing in the field. The prophet threw his mantle upon Elisha and passed on. "This was a symbolical act on the part of Elijah, investing Eih- sha ,with his own prophetic office.' The sign was understood by Ensile,. who obeyed d th s call. A prophet discouraged. Elijah had had a glorious victory at Carmel. But periods of depression are likely to fol- low victories, and we soon find hum so discouraged that he prayed that he might die. Had his prayer been answer- ed, this life would have gone out under a cloud. There would have been no anoint- ing of Elisha, no school of the prophets no chariot of fire. A prophet comforted, God did not leave Elijah to himself, He loved him still, in discouragement as -well as in victory. He refused to answer his un- wise and shortsighted prayer. God gavee ,him rest and refreshment and then as a means of further comfort Elijah was led to Horeb. A prophet encouraged. In the solitude of the desert in a cleft of Mount Horeb, /God speaks.

Richmond; Va., Aug. 29, -The answer of D. W. Armstrong .to .the snit brought against him by Mme. Rogues, the mother of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, is in the hands of his attorney in this city, Philip B. Sheil•cl. to be filed in the Chancery Clerk's office. It is this action which Mrs..liaybriek:s friends used as a means Government to ao release her on ticket of lame., several years ago, alleging that Arm - Baroness von Rogues brought the snit stron t of persuading the British y from the cafe to Little German with a basket containing six quart bot ties of ehuanp:mile. He laid the baske down by the bars and handed Jack piece of cake, The big brute devoured i with a gulp, and .then came so near til bars that the man became frightened, got a, rake with which to draw the bas ket out of the bear's reach, end when he returned Jack had three of the bottles on the inside the bars. The bottles -were good playthings, and soon he struck out with his paw and one fell over and broke on the stone flooring. •. fooim As out Jack snuffed at it, and the liquid x to lap it up.

The answer of Armstrong maintains that she ht..i no interest in the land and that the British. Government seems to have fallen into the trap arranged by the friends of Mrs. Maybrick. It is believed that her reason for coming to the United Stetes eo prompt. ly was the fear that, learning , of the trick which had been played. on them, the English officials might attempt to ,I1ave her extradited from France, especially ! .as firs.

The Apple Crop. The Press Committee of the American Ap- ple Shippers estimates that the New England States will have twice the cropof last year, the central States and middle west a some- what heavier yield than last year, the south- ern States less, and Pacific coast States more apples than a year ago; Canada, also, a tit- tle more than last year, and Nova Scotia the ame as Iast year, This was as far as the ommittee would go tor publication. From a number of correspondents in the Povfnces of Quebec and Ontario it is learn- ed that the yield in the majority of orchards is on the heavy side, so that in their opinion It Is safe to say there will be a good aver- age crop In Upper and Lower Canada as well as Nova Scotia. Bradstreet's on Trade. At Montreal this week wholesale trade ]has been on the quiet side. The between seasons period is seldom productive of trade expansion, and the backward con- dition of the wheat crop in the West and the fears of damage by frost, to- gether with the delay in fixing the prices of cotton goods, tends to curtail business commitments, Toronto wholesale busi- ness is of normal volume for this season. At t nuesebec quiet, anndses likely toleremainstill on- o until after the holidae•s, .At Victoria and Vancouver wholesale business is good for this time of the year; Wholesale trade at Winnipeg has been a trifle.quhet in wholesale circles since the close of the exhibition. There has been a fair en- quiry for fall goods in wholesale trade circles at Hamilton this week, and re- tailers are showing more disposition in some departments to discount the future, but a good many are waiting for crop developments, and later on more activity in buyine is looked for. Business in London this week has been moderately active in some lines. Wholesale trade at Ottawa is in a healthy condition, and next month renewed activity is looked for in many departments.
