Hatirax Antsrocracy.—The St. John Sun editorially remarks:—‘‘ A Halifax paper has been giving a list of the three hundred aristo- crats or first society people in that city. This is a business not well suited to the democratic customs and feelings of Canadian cities, how- ever well it may be adapted to New York and other cities in the land where snobbishness prevails. If consideration for those whose names do not appear on the list is not suffi- cient to prevent publication of these absurd catalogues, some consideration is due to the three hundred themselves, who muat be made to feel extremely foolish.”

Tue Ricnt View or It.—The Moncton Times says: The people of P. E. Island occu- py a rather anomalous position just now. ‘They are represented at Ottawa by six oppon- ents of the Government, and these gentlemen, instead of looking after the interests of their constituents, follow their leaders even when the interests of their constituents reqrire a different course. The result is that the Gov- ernment is kept informed as to the needs of the people, not by the people’s representatives but by delegations forwarded by the different local Conservative organizations, and by the Local Government of the Province, which is Conservative. [or all the good they do, the island Proviuce might as well be represented at Ottawa by six blocks of wood as by the present members.

Tus G. O. Murvan.—The Mutual Life In- surance Company, since its orgsnization in 1843, has paid to its policy-holders $272,481,- 339.42, The wonderful growth of the Com- pany is due in a large degree to the freedom front restriction and irksome conditions in the contract and to the opportunities for invest- ment which are offered in addition to indem- nity in case of death. The Mutual Life was the first to practicaily undertake the simpli- fication of the insurance contract and strip it of a verbiage in the mazes of which could be found innumerable refuges against claims of policy-hulders who had, however unwitting- ly, departed from the strict letter of the agreement. That this appealed powerfully to the popular taste is evident from the fact that in 1888 the company wrote over $103,000,000 of new insurance.

Qoive a Cwuriosiry.—The people of Carapbelltown N. B. must be easily excited. A despatch of the 8th says: The first type ever set in Restigouche county fur a newspaper, was set this morning, in the old bank building, where the Pioneer Publishing Co., have their office. The performance was witnessed by a large crowd, including lawyers, doctors and merchants. ‘The new paper is the great attraction of the town. On Thursday, a Catholic priest, a Metho- dist minister and two lawyers were among the curious ones who visited it.

LanNon IN Trarninc.—Joe Lannon, the South Boston heavy-weight, is training hard for his coming glove contest with Jack Ashton. Joe’s preparations consist in walk- ing, running, dumb-bell work and punching the bag. Lannon’s pedestrian labors sum up about 15 miles each day. He walks be- fore breakfast and after breakfast and so on, and each time he finishes a stroll, he is taken in hand by a dezen willing and strong neighbors, and rubbed down until his flesh glows. Baths in profusion and a right diet make up, with bag-fighting and dumb-bells, the balance of the programme gone through each day. Joe weighed 210 pounds when he first donned his sweaters, 10 days ago, and he has since worked off about 10 pounds of adipose tissue. He was in prime condition when he squared off before God- frey, but he intends to be even better fix- ed physically when he faces Ashton.

and suffered 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 td&ke Ayer’s Sarsaparilia, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily.

‘Last fall and winter I was troubled ‘
| with a dull, heavy, pain in my side. did not notice it much at first, but it gradually 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 Sarsapariila, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine fur some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured.’’—Mrs. Augusta A.
