A few days ago she complained of a pain in her side, and her mother found that on the left side, just below the ribs and under the skin, was a hard substance.

LAND SLIDE IN QueBECc.—A serious land slide took place at Berthier, about sixty miles from Montreal, on Monday last. A farmer named Savignac heard a rumbling noise like an earthquake. Rushing out of the house he was astonished to see the land about fifty yards from his house settling down. The poor man saw his barns tumbling to pieces, his cattle getting crushed and the earth rolling with a terrible noise into the river, three hundred yards distant. What was a high bank along the river has disappeared and in its place is an enormous cavity, some five or six acres in extent and 20 or 30 feet deep. There must have been a vast subter- ranean cavern, for the thickness of the crust, plainly visible, is not more than a couple of feet through. Several horses and cows were killed. Many barns were smashed to pieces, and the scene isa sorry ruin. A fresh crack in the earth, six inches wide, made its appear- ance in another place, and further develop- ments are expected. The spot has been visi ed by hundreds of people, and great excitement prevails.
} “ Aver’s Sarsaparilla is selling faster than ever before. I never hesitate,to recommend it.’”’—George W. Whitman, Druggist, Albany, Ind.
“T omsafe in saying that my sales of Aver’s Sarsaparilla far excel those cf any other, — it gives thorough satisfac- tion.’ — L. H. Bush, Des Moines, lowa.
“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and Ayer’s Pills are the best selling medicines in my store. I can recommend them conscien- tiously.’—C. Bickhaus, Pharmacist, Roseland, Ll. | ““We have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla here for over thirty years and always | yecommend it when asked to name the best blood-purifier.”— W. T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio.
“T have sold your medicines for the last seventeen years, and always keep them in stock, as they are staples. ‘There is nothing so good for the youth- ful blood’ as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”— R. L. Parker, Fox Lake, Wis.
“ Aver’s Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have im stock. I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, ‘I prescribe it over the counter.’ It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors’ prescriptions have been of no avail.’—C. F. Calhoun, Monmouth, Kansas.

In such circumstaaces who could help feeling more strongly than ever the power of these sacred bonds of unity that have been woven by many generations of forefathers? The warm welcome everywhere extended to me was not on my own account. I was a fellow- citizen and a fellow-colonist, and therefore re- ceived a double welcome.

The Middleton Divorce Case.
An Ottawa despatch to the Boston Her- ald has the following : One of the biggest sensations in high hfe the Dominion has ever been treatedto, promises to be the out come of the Middletondivorce case, in which William Middleton, nephew of Gen. Sir Ferd’k Middleton, will seek a divorce from his wife, nee Mary Wise, before the Senate which assembles here this month. Mrs. Middleton, it will be remembered, deserted her husband and left for the United States with a young bank clerk. Butit now ap- pears that other individuals holding high social and political positions, are to be call- ed upon to say what they know about the case, and froin what can be learned more than one prominent personage at the Dom- inion capital will regret the revelations which are to follow. Mr. Middleton, who is well off as regards this world’s goods, has left no stone unturned to collect corrobora tive evidence of his wife’s guilt, andin do- ing so he has made some startling discov- eries which promise to be the sensation of the day.
io Sih asi interesting Intormation.
The following information, which is taken from Whittaker’s Almanac, will be read. with interest:—The population of
England and Wales in 1570 was 4,160,221. Jreland ‘and Scotland contained together less than 1,000,000. So that the Kingdom Elizabeth ruled over, and with which she defeated the Spanish Armada and taught the Dutch good manners, had only about the same population as Canada has to-day. In 1670 England and Wales contained 5, 773,646 inhabitants, and Ireland and Scot. land about 1,000,000 each. This shows a gain of but 2,600,000 in a century. In 1770 the population of England and Wales had | risen 6,000,000, and of the whole United (Kingdom to 12,500,000. She was then jacknowledged mistress of the seas, and ex- lercising immense influence in the affairs of \the world. In 1870 the population of the { United Kingdom was 31,857,000—of which England and Wales contained 22,712,000. ln 1881 it was 35,241,000, and is now esti- ymated to be 38,000,000. It cannot fail to be noted that notwithstanding the immense immigration there has been from England, ireland and Scotland since 1770, the in crease of population has been much more rapid than in any previous century of their history. Between 1570 and 1770, two hun dred years, the populati m of the United Kingdom only increased from 5,100,000 to 12,500,000, or 240 percent. While daring the 119 years since 1770 the population has increased 316 per cent. The population of the United Kingdom has about doubled since the battle of Waterloo was fought.
The price of 3 per cent. British consols is universally accepted as the measure not only of national credit, but of the abund- ance of money. in 1816 consols were worth 59}. After the peace they rose a point or cwo. and in 1837 were worth 91. In 1848 they dropped to 85, and varied between that and 95 until 1879 when they sold for 974. In 1881, for the first time in the history of the nation, 3 per cent. consols were worth par. In 1887 they were worth 1012 and in 1888 about half a point more. At latest advices Canadian 3 per cents. were selling in London at 934 ; so that the credit of Canada to-day is equal to that of the Imperial Government no further back than 1875.
