Au abductiou under ,cost selsia- 1ioual circumstances is reported from Clitheroe, twenty-eight guiles from Manchester, England. One morning last week as stirs. E. Jack- son was leaving it church in that place, a carriage drawn by foaming horses, and containing three tneu, was rapidly driven up and stopped near the lady, who was seized and forcibly conveyed inside the vehicle. The carriage containing the abduc- Tors and their victim then drove rapidly away, with friends of the lady in vain pursuit. The abduct- ing party finally alighted before a house iu Blackburn and conducted Dlrs. Jackson inside the dwelling. They then proceeded to barricade the doors and windows of the house, and strenuously refused admittance to tho party of pursuers who hall followed them in another carriage. It has been learned that the princi- pal abductor and the occupant of Inn barricaded house in Blackburn is E. 1-1. Jackson, who is the hus• hand of the abducted holy. It seems that three years ago, Jackson, privately married the lady, then Miss Hall. She is the possessor of A fortune of £27,000. After the marriage Jackson went to Australia returning, however, early in 18.S9. But the lady then absolutely re- fused to live with him. Jackson thereupon obtained a high court or- der for restitution of conjugtl rights uotwithstandiug which his wife steadily refused to live with him and he resorted toabduction. After tho abduction crowds of people surrounded Jackson's house, which they threatened t.o storm in sin effort to release Mrs. Jackson ; but the chief constable w.timed thein that in so doing they would bo guilty of a breach of the pewee, while Jackson, himself from a window of the house shouted defiance at those outside, saying he had a large force ready to resist any attetnpte at rescue. Both sides were 011 the alert throughout the night and all tho day. The police have succeeded in maintain- ining order outside the house. Mrs. Jackson's solicitor has obtained a warrant against the abductors for assaulting his client's sister at the time of the abduction, but the ab- ductors still remain barricaded within the honac and can not be arrested.

Arthur W. Dowe and one or two wen associated with him think that the world in about to be revolution ized generally. They have founded the commonwealth of Jesus, which, with a membership of four or five. has just issued its "invitation." Iu its religious phase tueulbere are sup- posed entirely to abandon the world, the flesh, and the devil, dispose of all property to others or to the cum mon wealth, and follow the example of Christ in their lives. Thy long constitution which Mr. Dowe has prepared provided for a governing council of twelve teen and women, who shall establish and sup"riuten i the practical featuree of the co operative society's working, as well as regulate the religious, moral, mocha!, educ ttional and domes- tic life of the society. The conunon w,alth shall be the sole employer of the time and labor of the members and the sole provider of the necessi- ties and comforts of life. A11, no matter what their talents or servic88 may be, shall be paid equally in checks receivable for goods. The council shall adjust all ditlereuees and hear all coulplainte and members must hied themselves not to appeal to any civil court. Mr. Dowe exoeeta his new society to accomplish that perfection which the Wol1.1 has never been able to bring forth before by "sho.ving the true way" to gain happiness and avoid pain, expecting that teen will "choose it naturally and gladly." It is thus that Mr. Dowe disposed of the dif eultios which might be sup posed to be found in frail human nature as it exists in this world. "Now friend," says AIR Dotve's pamphlet, "you easily see that if ignorance of the true tray to live is the cause of his ambition, pride, etc., and consequent pain, the knowledge of the true way must he the remedy that will remove the cause. There fore we preach Jesus and the univer- sal will of God and deny self and the individual will of self. In response to an advertisement of the first meeting four elderly men meet Mr. Dowe, rut associate, and one woman. After a song and a prayer, Mr. Dowe, a Ulan of about thirty•five years, proceeded to ex- plain the purpose of the proposed society. "There are abundant indicat.ione," he said, "that a destruction of all present political, social, and religious structures is impending. European nations stand ready to spring at each other's throats, Itihiliets are fo meeting trouble in Russia,lahor trots• Wee are increasing in this country, and everywhere are signs of the toppling of present tgovornmente and social structures, which will come amid. a period of war, revolu- tion, trouble, and pain, such as the world has never aeon. "Out of this general wreck will corns the establishment of the king- dom of God on earth. Everything that is matt -made must disappear and give place to institutions that are God Blade.. 'We are a Y,ice crying in the wilderness : 'Repent, for the kingdom of God is nt hand.' Oer commonwealth and similar movements will form the nucleus for the establishment of God's kiog. (loco. "The details of our plans for the practical starting of the Nnciety are net perfected. \Ve will probably first establish it lodging hoose and restaurant, on the co-operative plan, giring each member food and Nhelter at the lowest possible cost. Depots for supplying clothing, etc., will probably follow. We will start early in the spring with whatever` means God may ile pleased to place in our hands." These are briefly some of the ideas on which this strange movement le trying to he started, for the atart is not yet, Blade. RELICS OF WATERLOO. Three or four weeks ago wo had a paragraph relative to the death of a survivor of the battle of Waterloo. Since then another death of a Waterloo veteran, George Thomas Keppel, Earl of Albemarle, is an- nounced. He was born in 1799, and wms, therefore, "well along in years" when be died. Another survivor, General Whichcote, is mentioned as being in his 97th year, and his death may be looked for at any moment. There is one woman, Lady de Ros, still living who danced ut 111e Waterloo ball, which is described by Byron in the lines with which few schoolboy-aare unfamiliar, the ball where "soft eyes looked love to eyes that spake again, and all went merry as a marriage bell." Lady de Ros' friends have been in the habit of calling on her on Waterloo Day; last year she celebrated the famous anniversary by calling on the Earl of Albemarle and presenting him with a laurel wreath, which he wore at the military tournament hold the same day. SAILED INTO THE GRAND TRUNK• slit CHARLES TOPPER BITTERLY AS SAILS THAT ROAD AS A POLITICAL Al EWA, Ell. Sir Charles Tupper spoke at Am- herst, N. S, the other day. In the course of his remarks he hail that Mr. Blake had justifed every argument advanced by the govern• meat and refuted almost every state- ment oracle by Sir Richard Cart– wright, Mr. Laurier and their press. ice had proved that our view of the Opposition policy was the true One, and that Sir Richarc! Cartwright's was not true, but an idle Jelusion. Mr. Blake had torn off the mask and show'. that Uureatricted Reci- procity meant direct fixation, and that the ultimate issue was Cornmer oral TJnin+1, it common tarifa, and, finally auuexatlon. The moment you adopt Commercial Union you sell your birthright, but you do not got the mess 0 f puttees.; you es- trangn Eoglaud, and place you, selves completely at the mercy of the Americans without being able to help yourselves. If you want an. nexatiou say 140, and you can die - tate your own terms ; but first adopt Commercial Union anti you will be DRAGGED INTO TUE REPUBLIC upon their terms. Ferrer has de- elare.l that every 111511 who favored Commercial Union believed in am nexatiorl, and that the party 4va5 we,trin;; a mask. Who Wes wearing the mash 7 Why, Cartwright and L turirr. Blake refused to sail un– der false colors, and tears off the meek and exposes his old associates to the contempt of every intelligent and loyal 1111411 in the country. Ha,l the country been lured by those false lights into Comuie,cial Union, Canatia would have beau overwhelm- ed in financial and commercial disas- ter. Another week Sir Charles claimed would have given the Con- servatives ten more seats in Ontario in spite of the fact that the Grand Trunk railway whicb he denounced He base anti ungrateful hail used all its power against them. He told his hearers that the Grand Trunk had been offered to build the C.P.R. on the same terms as the present company but refused. He never believed the Grand Trunk would be base enough to go back upon England, to gobsek upon its English eharehol.lers, to go hack upon Canada and use its enormous power to support a party and a policy whose avowed mission It Was TO STRIKE DOWN British inatitutiolIN in North Muer Ica and bring about the political union of Gaua,la with the United States. Sir Charles declared that the ex- travagance, corruption and jobbery of the Grand Trunk railway man- agement, by which millions had been lost to British investors, was the most disastrous blow ever struck at Canada in England, while the investment of other millions of dol. !are in the wild and reckless pur- chase of other railways to obstruct and head off the, Canadian Pacific had involved Grand 'Trunk share- holders in still greater ruin. "Thank God," exclaimed Sir Charles, "that the voice of the mar- itime provinces has rendered the Government anti the country inde- pendent of the machinations of the Grand Trunk, the F'arrers,the-Laur- iers, the Cartwrights and their American allies." --•••••••p•-- REVISED GEOGRAPHICAL SPELLING. Notwithstanding tlutt the govern- ment has organized a United States Board on Geographic Names, and hoe issued a bullitin to give the correct spolling of such namos,there continuos to be wide valiance iu the spelling in official documents. Among the words agreed upon by this Board is that of th e proper spoiling of Bering. It appears by the official publication of the Board that this sea was originally named after Captain Boring of the Russian Navy, and that t1e1e never was any authority for putting an "h" in the name. That was done by mistake, it appears in Germany and it seems to have been copied in English, but in all other languages the original spelling of Bering is main- tained. Hereafter that will be the official method in the 1Jnfted States : but it seems to be slow work in getting the newspapers to adopt it. Another word is generally spelled wrong,according to this publication, is that of Hayti. The official spell- ing hereafter will be Haiti. Be- loochistan in India will hereafter be officially spelled Baluchistan. The Republic of Chili is to be spelled Chile, and Cape Clear, Alaska, is to have an "e" 011 it, Cicero. This Board has also settled many other interesting geographical questions. SOME SYMF TOMS OF WORMS are : Fever, oolio, variable appetite. restless- ness, weakness, and eonvul4iona.

San Francisco Examiner :—Did you ever hear about Captain Morse's tiger 1 Everybody knows who Captain Melee is, Captain H. Gardner Morse, of the Alameda. Well, strange though it may seem, the time was when the Captain dabbled iu the tiger trade, and yesterday he told a yaru illustrative of the said peculiar iudestry• The tiger trade is one of the most peculiar items of all Urieutal sailor's Fllufeesiun, and its Captain Morse babbled lung and deeply iu the Indian Ocean he naturally enough gut mixed up in the trade in living 1 igers. Tigers aro at queer curt of mer- chandise. You can't stow them iu the hold like Hour, neither can you hang thein uu thy yetdarnt ; at. least i1' you du you can nut peddle thein well, for the market is awfully dull j1181 now iu ahs ulttter of dead tigers. Well, once upon a time the captain monkeyed with tigers, hut, as he states very naively, he will never du so again. lu those days Captain Morse was engaged in the pepper trade be- tween the Sumatra coast and the \lediterranean. The popper trado was pretty new in those days, and the honest seamen had a beaer :thence to slake money than they have in these Battier decades of 4t110 nineteenth century. •'V ou see," exclaimed the Cap- tain to au Exam ter man yesterday, ,'we were first to go to Annaboloo and at Annaboloo we used to meet the boss rajah or poppereeller. By right, I believe, a rajah is a sort of king ; but wo uuly regarded this particular rajah as the boss pepper - seller of the island. Fur lie it was that conducted the entire pepper trade of Sumatra. "It was this way, you see. We used to start out to trade tvi'.h about $30,000 Mexican dollars not to mention a boatload of dungoree, lead, and Turkey cloth. The Mexican dollar was in those days the staple coin of the East Indies. and next to them the articles of trade that wore most fancied by the natives were tho dungoree cotton, the 'Turkey cloth, and lead, "Down in the roadsteads the rajah took about ono -half of what we paid out for the pepper, his officers took about a quarter, and eventually, when all tolls, etc., were paid, the ORIGINAL GROWERS OF THE ARTICLE received about one-eighth of what ire paid for it, Now there was only about a cent a pound difference between the price paid at Sumatra and the price paid in the Medi- teranoan, and as our captain was expected to slake about $10,000 a voyage, it was hard to Ree whore the profit came iu. But nothing could bo simpler to a far seeing man," exclaimed the captain, "and this is how we did it. "First we tinkered the scales. That is, wo made one beau» about half an inch longer than the other. I used to tlo the weighing, and as we slung the beats over the bough of a tree, 1 always had a plug of white lead on one and so as to know where to hang the platform when it came to the day of weighing. '['hen we had very peculiar weights —weights, I ought to say, that were particularly peculiar. One of them —the boss weight on the ship— was a fifty-six pound weight, or, as the natives and Euglish people called it, 'a hall' -a -hundred.' "Phis weight we invariably plac- ed on the shor tend of the beam when weighing our Mexican dol- lars, and vice versa when the trade 4458 on our side of the bargain. "Then, you see, it was one of 111080 big affairs with a ring in the top for a handle, and that handle unscrewed. Wo had a chunk of wood under the ring when we were weighing our own goods, but when we were buying pepper we had that vacant spot filled with shot. "That is what made the business profitable—the vacant spot filled with slot. "1 was the boss weigher, you see. There were four weighers altogether —the Captain, thyself, and two natives. My chief business was to telt stories to the native weighers End get their attention into other channels while the Captain monkey- ed the scales. 1 did it beautifully. 'rho moment I learned a language I could spin a yarn, and then we made money hand over fist. "Then you see the natives would often smuggle pepper on board in the :night to avoid paying 85 per cont, tells on the gross receipts to the Rajah and his subsidiary poten- tates. They would bring the pepper to the ship in boats and the profit-making was as easy as rolling off a log. "How did we do it, you say 7 Why we just got a cask and measured the stuff. We would not let the natives aboard, of course, but then we showed them the caak, struck a bargain at 80 Bruch a cask and that settled it. "How did wo make money that way, you say. The Great BIoud PUrilier. A Word to the People. "Truth is Mighty, and wall prevail." TEE remarkable effeote and most satisfactory results, in every variety of disease arising from IMPURITIES OF THE BLOOD, which are experienced and made manifest from day to day, by those who have taken NORTHROP & LYMAN'S VEGETABLE DISCOVERY, for complaints which were pro- nounced incurable, are surprising to a11. In many of these cases, the persons say their pain and sufferinge cannot be expressed, as in cases of Scrofula, where apparently the whole body was one mass of corruption. This celebrated medioine will relieve pain, cleanse and purify the blood, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying many remedies, and having Buffered for years. Is it not conclusive proof that if you are a sufferer you can be cured? Why is this medicine performing Buell great cures? It works in the BLOOD, the Circulating Fluid. It can truly be called the Gi 3R)M8M• =MAO) C)31:0 .3Ev QlEC3E• lR. The great source of disease originates in the BLOOD, and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. When the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either from change of weather or of climate, want of exercise, irregular diet, or from any other cause, NORTHROP & LYMAN'S VEGETABLE DISCOVERY will renew the Blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels, and impart a tone of vigor to the whole body. The conviction is, in the public mind as well as the medical profession, that the remedies supplied by the VEGETABLE KINGDOM are more safe and more effec- tual in the cure of disease than mineral medicines. The Vegetable Discovery is composed of the juice of most remarkable roots, barks and herbs. It ha pleasant to take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant. Allow us to ask you a candid ques- tion :—Do you need it ? Do not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it. All druggists have it for sale. MR. Jonx C. Fox, Olinda, writes :—" Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Dis- covery is giving good satisfaction. Those who have used it say it has done them more good than anything they have ever taken." IN ITS WORST FORM.—Miss J1?u& A. PnswoRTH, 'Toronto, writes " I had Dyspepsia in its worst form for over a year, but after taking three bottles of Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Discovery, a perfect cure followed. I take great pleasure in recommending it to anyone suffering from Dyspepsia." Ma. W. THAYER, Wright, Y.Q., had DYSPEPSIA FOR TWENTY YEARS. Tried many remedies and doctors, but got no relief. His appetite was very poor, had a distressing pain in his side and stomach, and gradual wasting away of flesh, when he heard of and immediately commenced taking Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Discovery. The pains have left, and he rejoices in the enjoyment of excellent health ; in fact he is quite a new man. Sold by all Medicine Dealers at $1.00 per Bottle. "Why, nothing easier.

"Tigers aro the devil's own brutes and scarce even in Sumatra ; but the Captain pined for out). "One night he told the local Rajah so, and the local Rajah, he said '1Ium.' and that means 'that settles it.' 'Then they sent a village of mon to catch the tiger. 'Choy dug a pitfall for the brute, and 1 went out to see the fou. Filet they put the goat as a bait, but the goat was no good. Then they put it W0111311. "I never saw anything so horrible in my, life ; but as the Rajah's word was good for all it nloaut land the Captain tvarited the tiger, I could raise no objections. "They tethered the woman to a stake over the pitfall and left her there over night. The sight sick- ened me and I decided to rescue her. At about eleven o'clock I crept over to where she was tied, intending to sever her bonds and release her. Somehow or other she misiutrepretod my motives and shrieked at my approach, aud as she shrieked the Baan in the tree looping out for the tiger came down to prevent my interfering with the business. "He sang out 5 sort of et Aus- tralian co( -,,e, only a shrill one, and in two minutes twenty Hien had surrounded rile, and three minutes later I was bound to the upper branches of a, cocoanut tree with the look -out and waiting to see the tiger. "About an -hour later we hoard a _growl in the jungle. "I was gagged and unable to shriek, though I know the growl came from a tiger. A 1/1001011 later the monster leaped from a bush, streaked and gleaming in the moonlight. I could sec his yellow hide and the black stripes. I could see the woman quivering in terror. For maybe two minutes the animal manoeuvred around, and all the time the unfortunate woman was shrieking in an agony of fright. Then he crouched hack on his hind- quarters liko some gigantic cat and sprang on the unfortunate creature. "I wanted to close my eyes, but some hideous fascination prevented me. "Ho sprang. "With one unearthly yell the woman squealed for help. A yel- low gleam shot past in the moon light ; the tiger had pou$ led on his prey. "With a growling purr he jump- ed on her.
