Fifty-four men from "A" Battery, Kingston—permanent military corps— were marched to that polls in a body, in Kingston, to vote for Mr M'clntyre, Conservative candidate. Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr Britton will bring up the subject in parlaiment. Mr Lavergne, who ie Mr Laurier's Jawartner, and one of the able$$'t of the: (4ue bec Liberal party, was riaelects ed for Drummond and Artbabasca, in which constituency the Liberal leader lives. The majorities received by Messrs Laurier and Lavergne amount to 4,050. It is said that Mr McGugan, member elect for the South Middlesex Liberal hive, has generously stated his prompt readiness, if it should prove that Hon. David Mills has been unhorsed in Bothwell, to resign temporarily in his favor in South Middlesex, with, of course, the consent of his constituents, which would be heartily given. Now watch tor a cleaning of the Augeau stables. The new Government of Mr Laurier may be expected to in- stitute an investigation of the over- crowded civil service, to overhaul the civil service generally, and to enquire into the appointment of a number of members of Parliament to public of- fices. --Toronto Star. A press despatch says:—Sir Donald Smith's tenure of the office of High Commissioner will be brief. Sir Rich- ard Cartwright will not be.Finance Minister in the Laurier Government. These two statements have an intimate connection, for Sir Richard is to be ap- pointed to the Canadian office in Lon- don, and will replace Sir Donald Smith as soon as the Liberals get into power. power, more liberal laws of intercourse between Canada and the United States must follow. Mr McMillan thinks that the greatest stride that has ever been made In the direction of free trade was when the states of the American Union agreed that there should be no restric- tion in the matter of trade. "We are rejoiced," he said, "to ,nee that this principle is now to be extended and that Canada is likely to agree to more liberal commercial relations with us. New tariff laws on the part of Canada will increase our trade with our north- ern neighbor and furnish an object les- son to our own people. Canada will be the gainer from more liberal tariff laws with the United States, and the more unrestricted you can make trade be- tween the two countries the better it is for each. Canada will gain and the United States will gain proportionate- ly." According to the Tribune, the elec- tion in Winnipeg was one of the most crooked that ever tookplace in Canada. It says there were many successful attempts to personate men at a dis- tance. It is understood on good authority that Robert Birmingham, Conserva- tive organizer for Ontario has been ap- pointed Superintendent of Rideau Can- al, taking the place of the late Mr Wise. The position, which is worth about $2,400, has been vacant some years. Whip Taylor's name was con- nected with it for some time. The Toronto Star, Independent Con- servative, says:—As it is, the Conser- vative party 18 leaderless, for every man of consequence is discredited, ex- cept N. Clarke Wallace. Mr Foster lent himself to the act of treachery against Sir MacKenzie Bowell, and he coucurred in the bad leadership and immorality of the bargain with the bishops, which has ruined the party. Sir Hibbert Tupper has had a suc- cessful past, because he had a fa- ther, and he has no future for the same reason. Hugh John Macdon- ald has shown no capacity for public affairs, and is so irresolute of character that he may drop out of Parlaiment when least'expected. The other Cabi- net. Ministers only became such by happy accidents. The men who led the party into its present predicament against all the warnings of good sense, sound morality and safe tactics, have no future."

The Toronto Telegram says:—A he - lief that the French-Canadians of Que- bec, or of Manitoba either, for that mat- ter, are madly excited over the ques- tion of,remedial legislation was the fun- damental error upon which Sir Charles Tupper's policy was based. This same mistaken belief is now the basis of an assumption that the Manitoba school question will wreck any:government which Wilfrid Laurier will forte. The truth is that, with the exception of a few irreconcilables, like Beausollef and Devlin, the Quebec followers of Mr Laurier do not give three straws fortthe alleged grievances of their compatriots and co -religionists in Manitoba. Que- bec, with all its faults, understands that the Catholics of Manitoba are not oppressed by the obligation to support good schools. All the excitement has been raised by the prelates, and not th a people of Quebec. The prelates talk one way The people voted the other way. Is it likely that L'uirier will throw away 'power in a dangerous at- tempt to settle a question to the satis- faction of the hierarchy, which did its best to keep him out of power. 's". Only four Patrons out of 28 were elected. The Globe says that the condition of Mr Henry M. Stanley, M. P , the well- known explorer, is serious. At Port Hope Arthur Prentiss has been committed for trial on the charge of shooting Thomas Lingard on June 10. Irving L Ford, the negro, whose brutal murder of Elsie Kreglo on May 4 last, formed one of the most atrocious crimes in the police annals of Wash- ington, was hap ed in the jail yard there at 11.30 on June 26. Ford made a statement denying that he had at- tempted to outrage Its victim. At the Ingersoll police court Mrs. Spicer, of Sweaborg, pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against her of attempting to poison her two children as well as herself. Sbe reports that it was her firm determination to have committed murder and suicide. She had, however,. since considered the rashness of her proposed act, and pro- mised the magistrate that such a thing - should not occur again. She was bound over in the sum of 81000 to keep the peace for twelva months, and was allowed to go on suspended sentence. The boldest at tempt at bank I obbery ever made on the Pacific Coast has just come to light. The object of the attack was the heavy steel vault of the First National Bank, one of the largest financial institutions of its kind in Southern California, and to reach it the robbers dug a tunnel of 102 feet in length, extending from a street adjoin- ing the First National, and running thence under the cellars of three banks. This tunnel had progressed to a point directly beneath the vault, when the police authorities were apprised of its existence. When the scheme was dis- covered the burglars had begun to re- move the brick masonry supporting the steel vault. The work is believed to have been done by a gang of at. least five or six persons, but only one suspect, James K. Stephens, has thus far been arrested. A terrific explosion of blasting pow- der occurred at Petros, Tenn., railway station for State convict mines at Brushy Mountains on Thursday after• noon. It demolished the general store and hotel kept by Sam Joyner. Several kegs of powder, which were stored in the building, were evident- ly ignited by Willie Joyner, the little son of the proprietor, who was burned to death. A stranger named Maiden was killed, and a number of persons in the building were seriously injured, Mrs Eliza Schubert being fataly in- jured. How 10 Av,,• Consumption. 1.

Mr McMillan, of Tennessee, who is one of the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, is great- ly pleased with the Liberal victory hi Canada. It satisfies, he says, that Canada, like the United States, is in- clined to more liberal tariff laws, that Tuesday a election means greater free- . dom between the human race in their commercial relations.

Stage by stage the photography of un- seen interiors, or, as it is more generally termed, "the new photography," is ad- vancing toward perfection. Scarcely a day goes by without some Improvement being made in the management of the lamp, the preparation of the subject and the handling of the negative. Dr. Vasey, of the Lancet, 1s employing a new me- dium for the direct view screen which gives excellent results. Recently he undertook to obtain a pho- tograph of the course and location of a bullet which was presumably lodged be- tween the heart and lungs of a British officer. The gentleman, Maj. A. Leon- ard, was shot at the battle of Abu Kru, daring the Nile campaign In 1886. For a long time his life was despaired of, but he recovered, and Is now curious to learn whether the Remington bullet of the dervishes can be 'extracted, as the army surgeons failed to find it with the probe. After an exposure of thirty-two min- utes to the Roentgen rays, the lamp hav- ing been placed at Maj. Leonard's baok, the result was a photograph showing a faint indication of the bullet., about 2 inches to the left of the hreaetbone. Dr. Vasey proposes taking several other pho- tographs, so as to ascertain with eta much exactitude as possible the position of the bullet, and has devised special apparatus for that Merl !wrist Sources of Revenue. One of the most notable of these sources was the .Tews, who during the Middle Ages had no rights of citizenship to Christianized Europe, and were held, In respect to their persons, goads, wives and children. at the absolute disposal of the chief of the state, to he taxed and despoiled by him at his pleasure. This utilization of the Jews as sources of rev• enne was far more thoroughly and sys- tematically carried out In England than 1n any other country. They were, in fact, the private property of the king, living instruments of his revenue. Manuscript Gospels Found. It is reported from Constantinople that an ancient and beautiful manuscript Dopy of the Gospels, dating hack to the sixth century, has Iroently been found in Asia Minor. It Is written nn the finest and thinnest of vellum, wlhch is dyed purple, and the letters are to silver, except the abbreviations and sacred names, which are to gold. Representatives of English and American universities have unsuc- cessfully sought to obtain possession of the find, which has been secured by Russia. SWEETHEARTS THREE. The first was Joe, eohandeome and tall, he was counted the catch of the line; He played with me when I was little, and the neighbors said then 'twee a sign, But I didn't understand their talk, and I romped with him just the same, Uutil I was grown a girl so tall, and then, one night, in the lane, Joe held me in his strong arms and kissed me and palled me his queen, And from that time I knew what love was, and I was but seventeen. But I was going off to the college, and Joe oame to say good-bye, I wanted to tease him a little, so I was a trifle shy, But Joe's brown eyes looked straight in my face, and he held my hands eo tight, And I let him kiss me once, just, but I wouldn't promise to write; And so I went off that night, on the train, and Joe thought I didn't Dare, And he went away next week to the mines, and I never baveheardfromhim there. Dien there was Jack, a sailor lad, a happy. go -lucky was he; If I had not missed poor Joe eo much, he would never have courted me. 1 And I didn't mean to deceive him, but somehow I hadn't the heart To tell him of Joe cnt yonder, and how we were driven apart, So Jackbelleved that I loved him, and ask- ed me to be his wife, And I had to tell him the truth then, but it taught me a lesson for life. The next was Harry Delaney, a splendid fellow from town; He was grand enough for a king, I thought, in bis oollege cap and gown; And Harry and I were the best of friends, and he used to come out to thb farm And stay for a week sometimes, but I nev- er dreamed of harm Until people began to gossip, that Harry was courting me, But he was just a boy then, and I thought it could never be. But the next time he oame to see us, I act- ed so distant and oold, And I tried to tell him of Joe once, but Harry wouldn't be told, So I didn't feel to blame much, when Har- ry took to the beer, Tho' once I cried, when he told me he was going away from here; , Bat years ago Harry was married to sweet- faced cousin Sue, And his boys and girls now range these fields as their father used to do. And now as I sit in the gloaming, with the noise of the children about, I often wonder if Joe'll oome back, but hush! There's a etep without! It's Joe himself, Louisa, oome baok from the coast to -night, And we're to be married in June -time, when all the fields are bright, And many a year has passed, dear, since first he oame to woo, Bat now the clouds have vanished, for Joe believes me true.

There nre many ways In which obsti- nacy may reveal itself. One is by a quib- bling and disreputable style of conversa- tlon—a tendency to contradict every re- mark, and 1n any case say the last wor.i. Few things are more aggravating than flip. It Is hardly possible to converse w th some persons without merging into controversy. It is a petty arguing for trifles, altogether unworthy of debate. To find one's self questioned at every turn, every word disputed, every assertion doubted, Is to some of ns very annoying. It may be feared that certain minds, not the noblest, take a delight in this insig- nificant war of words, this stubborn con- flict over every inch of ground. We are not ail so nonstttnted. It is a species of unworthy obstinacy, which all well- meaning persons should endeavor to stamp out. A paltry love of contradiction and dental may seem clover 1n the eyes of those who cultivate it, but in reality it is nothing but m"anneSs and folly. Obstinacy breeds many 111 weed;; this is not one of the least. Hatt -Storms In the Orange Free State. One of these r•epuhllns—the Orange Free ttntn—Is very nearly as large as England, and just As large as the State of New York. It lies from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above the sea, and 1s mostly level, with some mew ranges of hills. The sur- fnee is bare of wood, except In a few sheltered spots along the streams, but is well covered with herbage. The air Is pare and bracing, much like that of Col- orado or Wyoming.

Silt is not strange that there are all kinds of physical and men- tal disturbances. If the woman who is a doctor, or a lawyer, or a journalist, or in business would not try to be a society woman too it might be different; but the woman who knows when she has done a day's work has yet to be born. Usually a woman's way is to keep doing until she drops. Working In this wayhas manifold evis. As an old colored Aunty used to say: "There's always somethin' the matter. If it isn't one thing it's two." The most common trouble resulting from over- exertion, either mentally or physically, is constipation of the bowels, with all its at• tendant horrors. There is no human ailment that eo saps the enemies, so deadens the ambitions as that coming from the bowels forgetting their vocation, or the liver only work- ing about eight hours out of the twenty- four. wentyfour. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the most effectual remedy in the market. They work upon the system easily, naturally. There is no unpleasant nausea after taking them. No griping—no pain—no discomfort. They are composed of materials that go through the system gradually, collecting all impuri- ties and like the good little servants that they are, disposing of them effectually. Mas ROSANNA M. BLISS, of Cororte, Or- weee County, New York says: 1 had suffered much with dizziness, some- times faintness from too much mental work. Over exertion ph alcally caused constipation of the bowels. I tried liver pills. They gave tem- porary relief. Two years ago I began using Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I have, at intervals, used three bottles, and I am now enjoying unin- terrupted good health." Vours truly. ru a' ea se.: aa'a``2 s TORI for Infants and Children.
