A despatch from Geneva, says: — The Genevese people are up in arms against the heoizing or pampering of Lucheni, the assassin of the Empress of Austria, and the officials have stern- ly refused to permit visitors to see him. Lucheni is kept in solitary confine- went, and is permitted to see nobody There was great indignation ex- pressed when a local journal publish- ed the fact that Lucheni had been al - loved to smoke. So bitter, indeed, was the feeling that the judge of the Crim- inal Court was forced on Thursday to issue aformal declaration, in which he stated that the privilege of smoking had only been accorded Lucheni on one occasion, and that he had smoked but one cigar. The judge pledges his official honor that this shall not oo- }tinge of Samaria.

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, Simply because Jehoslraphnt was with the Lord. The reason given by the chronicler is not exactly plain to us because of a slight question concern- ing the text: Because he walkedin the first ways of his father David. Many commentators believe "the first ways" to menti the former ways, and to contrast the relative purity and holy ideals of the youthful king Da- viel with the selfishness enc( sordid characteristics which made him fall in- totsin in his later years. But there are reasons for supposing that for word "David " has beeps put here accident - 011y. It dohs not stand in the Vatican text of the Septuagint, which is the most valuable of alt ancient versions of the Old Testament; and if it be omitted, and we read, "he walked in the first ways of bis father," the refer- ence is to Asa. Adaltaone' probability gathers around this reading when we get to the next verse, and find that the word "father" there refers to Ase., and when we read in the paral- lel passage, 1 Kings 22. 49, "he walk- ed in all the ways of Asa his. father." Asa's early life was conspicuously of a higher moral tone than were his later years. Sought not unto Ban3im. Which word here is probably used generically to include all idolatry. There were many sorts, ranging from the worship of the true God with the help of images, "the sin of Jeroboam," down to the foulest orgies that wale ever 1uisnsmed wor- ship. It is hard for unspiriluel people to worship without the help of their senses. Forms and ceremonies can- not be done without till one has gone far in faith, and to the very end of our earthly life they aro to a l.egree needed; but the tendency of unepiritu- n1 people is always to elevate the form above the spirit. Baalim is a plural word—Biala; while there was but one Baal, he had in the ancient mind many personifications. The wor- thip of the Phenieian god Baal was greatly strengthened in Isreai during Jeho.>haphal's reign in :Judah by the aggressive conduct of Queen Jezel.el, who had come from Phenicia. father. This, coming after verse 9, seems to carry rho meaning that he not only imitated his father's policy, ut that be shared his father's deepest religious convictions and experienc- es. ;Walked in his eonnnandtn(llts.

Their inierests were diverted to Bethel and Dan, But they were not merely lax and heretiont in form, and probably in belief also; they had, in many cases adopted the abom- inations of the religion of Baal, ' 5, The Lord established the kingdom in his hand. Whatever a nation enjoys of strength and stability it receives from the Lord, whose scepter sways above all (human counsels, Ali Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents. He was honored by the loyalty, service, and affections of his sahjeotts. People are apt to respect inlets who try to do right, In 9oli1ics there can be no true abiding success without: upright- ness. 0, -Iiis heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord.

Count Stol.borg-Wernige'ode formerly belonged to the Tw'olf(hHus- sars, whioli regiment he had to leave because he assaulted his orderly. Nev- ertheless, it appears that his present conduct is not regarded seriously by the German military authorities, and if he is punished, which is doubtful, ho will get off with a slight reprim- and. It is officially held that he did right, and that more severe punish- ment of the officers would be detri- mental to discipline. It is also re- ported that Emperor William has ex- pressed his approval of the aetiou of Count Stolherg-Wernigerode. A 0(l111ary -(bap .'Emit 4Yiuld Cause 1,1(311' 5arltrfscl.

General Zurlanden, who is once more military Governor of Paris, with the cognizance of General Cbanoine, who succeeded the latter as Minister of War, acted entirely without reference to the Premier, M. Brisson, who, with a majority of his colleagues, was com- pletely dumbfounded at his proceedings. The supporters of the Cabinet declare that M.

Only bold action will secure the supremacy of civil law-. OPEN' TRIAL FOR PICQUART. One satisfactory feature of the pro, seoution of Col,.

But if, in order to oppose a revision, he resigns the Presidency, the National Assembly, or Congress for the election of Presidents, will meet at Versailles within twenty- four hours, and M. tenure will be re- elected by a crushing majority of those who are hostile to a revision.

Beak teed claws were sunk into the body of the poor stuffed bird. The eagle, not understanding the tenacity with which its victim clung to the hat, finally carried hat, bird, and all bank to its roost. The woman screamed as she saw her millinery in the clutches of the eagle. She then begun to be amused at the predicament 111 which she had been placed, and at lust quietly left the camp without giving her name. The big bird of prey in the mean- time discovered the nature of its cap- ture; and vented its disappointment and spite by viciously tearing the hat and trimmings to shreds. THE MURDERER SUICIDED.

In Water- loo he is known as one of the most popular and successfulbusiness men of that enterprising town. As .,aanag- ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is at the head of a vast businesa, repre- senting an investment of many thous- ands of dollars, and known to many people throughout the Province. Solid financially, Mr. Frank Bauer also has the good fortune of enjoying solid good health, and if appearances indicate anything, it is safe to predict that there's a full half century of active life still ahead for him. But it's only a few months since, while nursed as an invalid at the Mt. Clemens sanitary resort, when his friends in Waterloo were dismayed with a report that he was at the point of death 11 There's no telling where I would have been had I kept on the old treat- ment," said Mr. Bauer, with a merry laugh, the other day, while recounting hie experiences as a very sick man. 11 Mt. Clemens," he oontinued, " was the last resort in my case. For months previous I had been suffering indescribable tortures. I began with e, loss of appetite and sleepless nights. Then, as the trouble kept growing, I was getting weaker, and began losing flesh and strength rapidly. My stomach refused to retain food of any kind. During all this time I was under medical treatment, and took everything prescribed, but without relief. Just about when my condition Sold by G. seemed most hopeless, I heard of 4 wonderful cure effected in a case somewhat similar to mine, by the Great South AmericanNervine Tonto, and I finally tried that. On the first 'day of its ase I began to feel that it was doing what 110 other medicine had done. The first dose relieved the distress completely. Before night I aotually felt hungry and ate with an appetite such as I had not known for months. I began to pick up in strength with surprising rapidity, slept well nights, and before I knew it I was eating three square meals regularly every day, with as ranch relish as ever. I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the South American Nervine Tonic oured me when all other remedies failed. I. have recovered my old weight—over 200 ponnds—and never felt better in my life." Mr. Frank Barter's experience is that of all others who have used the South American Nervine Tonna. Its instantaneous aotion in relieving dis- tress and pain is due to the direct effect of this great remedy upon the nerve centres, whose fagged vitality is energized instantly by the very first dose.
