Blood Diseases are cured by he persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and cases a radical change in the system. ‘The process, in some cases, may not be quite so rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain. Read these testimonials : —

‘For two years U-suffered from a se- vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- pletely cured.””—John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence st., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out ontmy arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In ali my expe- rience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight.’”’—-Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.

“‘T had a dry scaly humor for years, and sutfered terribly ; and,as my broth- er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. Jor five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months.”’—T. E. Wiley, 146 Ciambers st., New York City.

“Last fall and winter I was tronbled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it yradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely eured.’’— Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush, Haverhill, Mass.

Gleanings From My Commoen-place Books,

A PARTY CONTINUING IN OFFICE WITHOUT |

THE CONFIDENCE OF PARLIAMENT.

A party which continues in the exercise of political power, after they know they have forfeited and do not possess the con- fidence of Parliament, are guilty of a high crime aud misdemeanor. —Fox.

, CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTIONS OF A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.

|

| I religiously hold—that the man whose

political career is on a line with his consci- entious convictions can never be unfaithful to his constituents or to his#ountry.—John Bright.

|

‘THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN EXECUTIVE AND PARLIAMENTARY AUTHORITY IS DRAWN BY EARL GREY IN HIS PAMPHLET ON PARLIAMENTARY GOVERN-

MENT PUBLISHED IN 1858.

| ** Any direct interference on the part “of either houses of Parliament with the man- ‘agement of the army would undoubtedly be a direct violation of the principles of the | Constitutioa ; but the same observation ap- ‘plies to every branch of the executive |authority. The Long Parliament, by its ; Committees, assumed various executive i functions ; but its doing so is admitted to

| have been a usurpation, and since that time!

{the rule has been recognised in theory jand in practice, that all such functions be- |loug only to the Crown. This rule is quite | coasistent with another not less important, jnamely, that either House of Parlia- jment is entitled to offer its advice to the Crown on the manner in which any of its powers are exercised, and that there can be nothing done by the royal authority for which some servant of the Crown must not be responsible to Parliament.” In point of fact, however, says the Zdin- burgh Review, the rule Earl Gray lays down is still recognized in theory, bat not in practice. The House of Commons continu- ally interferes in the executive functions of Government, and sometimes in the min- utest of them; such as the purchase of a picture or the site of a building, the sca'e of the ordnance survey, the choice of agents at home and abroad, the distribution of honors; not to speak of higher questions of policy and administration, such as those which the Sebastapol Committee affected to decide in the middle of a campaign.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS SHOULD CONTAIN

LEADING MEN OF ALL OPINIONS,

If the House of Commons is to be the mainspring of one Government, and to re- tain its political and morat.ascendency, it ought tocontain in its ranks the leading men of all opinions. We should regard it as a misfortune if able and fair men belonging te all the parties in the State were not pre- sent at its discussions. We do not share the poiitical opinions of Sir John Paking- ton or Mr. Walpole, but we should be sorry if such respectable and capable ex- ponents of Conservative opinions were not in Parliament. The affairs of the country are best transacted by making the House of Commons a great mart of political business; a great clearing house of political ideas; and we would no more seek to exclude from it the most eminent leaders of the various parties, or the ablest representatives of opposite opinions, than we would exclude the great capitalists from the Royal Ex- change.—Edinburgh Review for July, 1854.

LORD SACKVILLE’S INDISCRETION.

Lord Sackville’s misfortune, or indisere- tion, is by no means an unheard of incident in diplomacy, or even in the history of our diplomatic relations with the United States. On the 28th of May, 1856, President Pierce ‘*came to the determination to discontinue official intercourse” with Mr. (afterwards Sir John) Crampton, on account of the British Minister’s action in regard to the recruiting question, and Mr, Crampton left Washington accordiagly. Official in- tercourse only recommenced in the follow- ing January, when the present Lord Napier and Ettrick was sent out as Envoy. In May, 1848, the Government of Isabella II. took the summary course of ordering Mr. Bulwer—best known as Sir Henry—to quit Madrid within forty-eight hours, on what is now admitted to have been the weil sustained allegation of interference in the internal affairs of Spain. did no harm to Bulwer ; and Palmerston, who always stood by his lieutenants, in- duced the English Cabinet to retaliate— Isturitz, her Catholic Majesty's representa- tive in London, being *‘ civilly sent out of the country,” as Greville puta it. Nor did the Courts exchange Ministers again for two years. According to Greville, who chad the facts from Melbourne, the third Earl of Clanwilliam was recalled from Ber- lin in 1827 at the request of King Frederick William III. But they managed those little affairs more quietly in the **twenties.”’ —St. James’ Budget, 3rd Nov., 1888.

HISTORY OF THE ‘‘CANADIAN BOAT SONG.”

The appointment of Thomas Moore, the pvet, late in 1803 as Registrar of the Court of Admiralty at Bermuda (an uncongenial position which he accepted in order to be able to contribute more generously to the support of his parents); shows us his dependent position at the age of four and twenty, and his intense affection tor his famiiy. It was during this term of office that he visited the United States and this ** Canada of ours,” leaving as a souvenir of his passage the famous ** Canadian Boat Seng,” inspired by the magnificent scenery of our St. Lawrence.

“ Faintly as tolls the evening chime

Our voices keep tune and our oars keep

time.

Soon as the woods on the shore grow dim

We'll sing at St. Ann’s our parting hymn.

Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast,

The rapids are near and the daylight’s

past.” These verses, so familiar to us all, were

dian voyagears, of which Moore him- self, writing years after, tells ‘us: ‘Ihave heard this simple air with a pleasure which the finest composi- ‘tions of the first masters have never given ime, and now there is_not a note of it which {does not recall tomy memory the dip of our oars in the St. Lawrence—the flight of jour boat down the rapids, andall those ‘new and fanciful impressions to which my | heart was alive during the whole of this interesting voyage.” as Eh

~ Sudden Deaths.

Mrs. A. E. Stewart, of Dartmouth, died very suddenly a few days ago. The de- ceased was the young wife of one of the ioremen of the Mail composing rooms, and had been married only about a year. She leavesa youngchild. Her husband will have the sincere sympathy of many friends.

The schooner Escort, Captain Morris, arrived at North Sydney, on Monday morn- ing, with the body of Edmund Alexander, who died at seaon Sunday. The captain reports having left Halifax for Bay St. Georges, Nfld., where Mr. Alexander en- gaged to work his passage to his home. He retired on Saturday night, apparently in the best of health, and was found dead in his bed on Sunday morning.

Mrs. L. W. Hoyt, of North Sydney, C. | B., died suddenly on Thursday. She was |apparently in good health in the morning, but towards the evening she complained of illness, and a physician was almost im- mediately in attendance, but her death took place before relief could be summon- ed. An internal rupture of a blood ves- sel was the cause of her sudden demise, but her appearance gave no indication ot a serious illness. Deceased was 32 years old ant leaves one child.

Latest Papers. Ormonde, the winner of the last Derby, has been sold to an American for ‘$85,000, Mr. Wake, an artist connected with the London Graphic, has been killed by the Arabs at Suakim.

The richest gold mine in the world is said to be the Douglas mine in Australia, which yields about $200,000 every month, and has but three owners.

M. de Lesseps will again try to sell the lottery bonds that the people refused to buy last summer, and to make them iaore attractive he will offer them a’ $55 The par value is $80, and 800,000 were placed at $72. There remain 1,200,000 unsold. M. de Lesseps will bs forced to make his piece still lower. The market value of the company’s capital shares is falling fast.

The United States Geological Survey gives some mining statistics that show something of the wonderful wealth of that country, judged by the immense mineral output for the year. The total value of all minerals mined in 1887 was $538,000,000. This is $70,000,000 more than the output for 1886, aud over $100,000,000 greater than for that of 1885, The year’s yield is not only the greatest ever produced in this country, bu! is at least $100,000,090 great- er than the output of any other country, and, leaving out England, is greater than that of all Europe.
