MRS. ROSS'S “Magic Healer’ Salve,
(Warranted to Cleanse and Heal.)
‘pURNS, Scaldr, Chapped Hands, Cuts, I Boils, Frost Bites, and Skin Sores of every description.
lu is said by those who have Lested the “Magic Healer’’ tor Burns, that it is the best and quickest remoty for extracting heat they have ever used.
For Chapped Hands or Cold Sores, it is unparalleled for its speedy and effective results, making the skin soft and pliable.
For Fishermen and persons employed in|
handling wet or rovgh articles, it is invalu- able for giving the Lauds & smooth texture nd healthy tone.
Its cleansing aud healing properties are remarkable where the skin is broken by ex- ternal means, while its rapid action in re- moving all offensive matter from Boils or Old Wounds, and forming # new skin is truly wonderful,

to play fast and locse with the County which should be puuished.
4. Because the Liberal-Con-ervative Government, led by Sir John A. Mac- donald, have acted in a more friendly spirit towards the Island than their opponents have acted.
5, Because the Liberal-Conservative Government gave us the Cape Traverse Railway in spite of the protests of Mr. McKenzie that the Domiuvion had “done very well for the Island” and had ‘carried out the Terms of Union to the utmost possible extent.”
6. Because, notwithstanding the false statement of Mr. Blake that the Domin- ion is losing miliions of dollars by the Island, the Government continue to make liberal grants for the maintenance of our Railway, ete.
7. Because the general policy and ad- ministration of the Government are admirable, and have been followed by results which, when compared with the ** fly-on-the wheel” policy and adminis- tration of the Grits, are truly splendid.
8. Because the honor of the country has been saved, and our Great Lone Land opened up for British settlers, without loss to the tax-payers, by the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway—a gigantic task, successfully underiaken by the Government, though their predecessors had repeatedly failed in it.
9. Because we are more likely to ob- tain Reciprocity by supporting the pre- sent policy of the Government than by throwing our markets open to the Americans free gratis for nothing, and going down on our knees to beseech them to give us fair trade in return.
10. Because the country is prosperous under the Liberal-Conservatives, and) does not need ‘Independent—Grits” to assist in its Government.
11. And because, while trade has been expanding, and while the wages of the people have been increasing, the prices of most of the commodities of life have been lowering, and “goods” are pow ‘‘cheaper than ever.”

| Wednesday morning last, at three o'clock. | The fire was discovered in time, and a few buckets of water extinguished it. The floors and doors were found to be saturated with kerosene. There being large quanti- ties of spirits from New York stored in Hamilton, great anxiety is felt for the safety of the town.
Commenting on the cholera, which is prevailing to a considerable extent in the south of France, Nature says: ‘Of the future course of the epidemic it is at this stage almost impossible to speak with any authority; but it is very certain that oc- casional lulls in the number of attacks—oc- currences which are immediately reported as indicating a subsidence in the outbreak— cannot be regarded as having much sig- nificance in this respect; fer it is one of the essential characteristics of cholera, especial- ly in the early stage of an epidemic, to ex- hibit periodic fluctuations both in the num- ber and in the intensity of attacks.”
There is a proposition made in Toronio to arrange a meeting between John Teemer apd Edward Hanlan on the return of the latter from Australia in the autumn. Those who backed Hanlan in future con- tests are willing to put up any reasonable amount on the Canadian champion if satis- factory arrangements can be made with Teemer’s friends. At the Pullman, IL, regatta, it will be remembered, Hanlan said Teemer pusbed him harder than any man he had ever met, and a contest just now between them would be likely to prove of unbounded interest. As Hanlan leaves for Europe by the way of New York shortly after his return here, it is thought by many of his friends that a race might be rowed on the other side of the line.
Editors have to put up with all manne? of taunts and insults, Not so long ago a a social gathering an Austin lady said to a young man who is connected with a local paper :

“But I can’t sing. What put the idea of my belonging to a choir into your head ?”
“O nothing, except that I was reading the other day that a San Francisco church proposes to introduce harp music into the choir, and there is not much difference, you know, between a harp and a lyre, so | thought I'd make the suggestion’ —T'exas Siftings.

George Augustus Sala tells an Eastern story about an Arab Sheik who, pursuing on horseback his way to Damascus, gave a lift to an old ragged women whom he found lying, convulsed with pain, at the foot of palm tree. The ancient crone told the Sheik, incidantally, that she was the cholera, and that it was by Allah’s will that she was going to Damascus; but, in con- sideration of the kindness which she received she promised that she would not slay more than sixty person sthere. Son after her arrival the pestilence broke out,and the peo- ple died like sheep with thero’. The Sheik reproached her with her breach of faith. ‘Not so,” guoth Dame Cholera; ‘‘I kept my word. f only killed sixty. Fear killed the rest.”
A young American, well dressed and apparently respectable, arrived in Montreal about a week ago, and registered at St. Lawrence Hall as Van Allen from Chicago. The next day an advertisement appeared in the local papers calling for an agent with money to push a patent attachment for sewing machines in the Province of Quebec. Walter S. Douglass, residing in Montreal, responded, when Van Allen represented himself as a member of a great manu-
facturing firm in Chicago, and as wanting an agent and partner here. An angreement was entered into
between the parties, the agent to get $900 per annum anda commission on sale, In order tomanufacture the the attachment in Canada, Donglass agreed to invest $600, and handed his employer half the amount down. The matter was closed, but on Douglass’ going out to verify the reference given, he found it was a confidence game, and that he wasa victim. A warrant was immediately taken, out, and before the swindler had time to decamp he was bagged.
The electric motor in its application to manufacturing and to transportation is making rapid strides, and promises before many years to take its place amongst the wonders of the century without creating any wonder to an age already hardened to the marvellous by the achievements of the past half century. A year ago electric cars moved through crowded Paris streets at nine miles an hour, and even passed over yards of trackless ground in going from one route to another. At Vienna a mile in three minutes was the regular rate of speed made by a train during the Electric Exhibition. At Berlin a high level railway operated by electricity was opened and in several parts of the world electricity ; has been applied to locomotion and manu- | facturing, even the omnibus being propell- ed on common roads by it. On the Danube Canal last year an electric boat, carrying thirty passengers, was plyisg, and without smoke, heat, oil, noise, or vibration. The Cleve'and, Ohio, railway is the latest ad- dition to the list of applications of electric- ity. The problem now is not merely how
to apply electricity td locomotion, but hc'w OS Ga? a us bo Cousot wich wide.

Scenes of hcrror have a wonderful fascina- tian for some people, even for many who,
in the ordinary walks of life, are not re- garded as of depraved tastes, No fewer than 3,000 persons made formal application for admission to the execution of a negro murderer in Brooklyn, on Friday, Ist instant, and the larger number of these belonged to what is known as the better class of society. And they witnessed a 1e- volting spectacle. The rope caught under the doomed man’s chin; he burst the cords that pinioned his arms and tore from his face the black mask, revealing his features hideously distorted in the agony of strangu- lation. The crowd had assembled to see a dreadful sight, but this was an exhibition that unnerved many of them. The ven- geance of the law ought to be executed in private.
In a letter from a British officer who was in the late Egyptian battles, which letter was published in the Army and Navy Gazette, we have the following curious and somewhat incongruous, though very sug- gestive sentences :—‘*The good God nmiust bave drawna shield round our gallant
officers. All our cfiicers fought like devils. N. M., with firm lips was thirsting for more blood. Young
M., who only joined the day before, was crying to be at the niggers again ; he is a splendid boy and fought like a devil. The Arabs are most awfully plucky. I saw one man, nearly dead, crawling toward us to kill a white man before he died. I took a splendid spear and killed a great many wounded men with it. It went into their hearts like lightning, and their blood flowed out on the sand.” And this is war! and ! and chivalry ! and Christianity.
The progress of the Australian colonies continues steady and rapid. Says an English exchange:—‘‘Tie extent = of electric telegraph wire in New Sonth Wales in actual use during 1882 was 15,901 miles; the number of stations was 345; the revenue for the year £120,- 265; and the expenditure (exclusive of in- terest, on cost of construction of lines), £142,534. In 1883 the extent of electric telegraph wire in actual use was 17,272 miles; the number of stations, 368; the revenue £134,643; and the expenditure (exclusive of interest on cost of construc- tion of lines), £163,328; 2,107,288 tele- grams, of the value of £165,276 were transmitted from the colony; and 2,102,044 telegrams, of the value of £159,- 095. were issued in the colony. The New South Wales receipt on local and inter colonia! (exclusive ot New Zealand) business were £1,228,81; on New Zealand business £1,898; and on international business £3,049, making the total recei; ts £127,858."
Geuveral Codrington died in London on Friday last. To all who recollect the Cri- mean War General Codrington’s name will be familiar enough, for he distinguished himself both at the Almaand at Inker- mann, commanded the Light Division during a part of the time Sebastopol was under siege, and eventually became Com- mander-in-Chief of the army operating in the Crimea, He was present from the moment the army there landed until the evacuation in 1856. He was elected to the House of Commons in 1857 and sat until 1859 when he was appointed to the command of Gibraltar. He was returned in 1877. General Codrington was born in Novem- ber, 1804, and entered the army in 1821. He has had several Turkish and French honors conferred upon him as well as the Grand Cross of the Bath, a Generalship in the army, the Colonelcy of the 23rd Fusiliers, and of the Coldstream Guards, and in his active life deserved his honors. His father was Admiral Codrington.
The proposition of the British Govern- ment to appropriate $140,000,000 for the
purpose of enabling railroad communica- tion to be opened up in India, brings to the front a very interesting question, as to the wheat producing ability of that country and the prospects of a paying com- petition in English markets with the wheat areas of America. In this con- nection it is of advantage to note the increase of Indian wheat exportation during the few years past. Ten years ago the quantity brought into the English ‘market was scarcely roticeable. In 1880-8] 7,444,375 cwt. were exported to Great Briain at a value of over $16,000,000, In 1881 82 India’s wheat reached 19,863,520 ‘cwt., and was valued at $43,000,000, For 1882 and 1883 these figures have been in- creased by about fifty per cent. This remarkable statement speaks for itself. As to the wheat producing areas of India they are very large, and the railway scheme of the Government con- templates the bringing into easier com- munication with the seaports of an ad- ditional vast inland area favorable to the growth of that cereal. The introduction of means for the eisy internal carriage of wheat to the coast, the opening of a market which can be relied upon, and the cheaper rates of labor which obtain will render India
