Flogging in the Army and Navy.

A protracted debate has taken place in the House of Commons this session (as in former sessions) upon the question of abolishing the punishment of flogg- ing in the army and navy. For many years past a motion for the abolition of this punishment has been brought up and advocated, chiefly by such men as P. A. Taylor, Mr. Jenkins, Sir Charles Dilke, Auberon Herbert and other gentlemen who are rather more inclin- ed to sentimentality than to practical legislation. The debate as usual ended this session by the rejection of the mo- tion for the abolution of the punish- ment, but after this vote had been taken the Government on its own mo- tion decided that the punishment by flogging in the army and navy shall hereafter be confined to acts which are liable to be punished by death. The penalty of flogging is thus practically abolished, as no courtsemartial will im- pose at once the two punishments, and would consider the sentence of death sufficient. The Home Rulers and Eng- lish Radicals, being dissatisfied with the concessions on the part of the Gov- ernment, successfully opposed further progress with the bill. There were many exciting scenes and after eight hours of wrangling the House adjourn- ed at 2.45 a.m.

A LONDON BREWER GIVES A RECEPTION WHICH RANK, FASHION AND BEAUTY ARE GLAD TO ATTEND.

[The season, says the editor of the London Truth, up to this has been a very slow affair; the court is still in mourning, and all the great houses are closed. ‘I'his is partly due to ‘ bad times,’ and, no doubt, also the existence of the ghastly and dismal bloodshed going oo in Zululand. However, last week there was a brilliant fete given by Mr. and Mrs. Guinness, at their house in Grosvernor place. The mansion was built by the Duke of Westminster for his son, Earl Grosvernor, but passed into the possession of Baron Strouss~ berg, who figured there for two or three seasons, and then drifted into the hands of his eveditors. All the rank, fashion and professional beauty of London were there. The tapestry hangings are in themselves fine, but they are too dark for London. The feature of the evening was the floral decoration. The orchids and exotics must have cost a moderate income. Even the cornice of one room was hung with garlands of summer roses, which, to the number of 10,000 blossoms, had been provided for he occasion. Why, oh why, was I not born a brewer ?

Philip Theasdale, cashier of a St. Louis mercantile firm, drermed that the figures 2-2-2 would win in the Chi- cago races of the following day. He accordingly bought pool tickets on the three borses that were No. 2 in the en- tries as figured on the pool room black- board. They won races. On the fol- lowing day he repeated the operation. Altogether he made $1,341 on an in- vestment of $6.

Cardinal Newman was unable, through ill-health, to take possession in person of his titular church at Rome, San Giorgio in Valabro, and delegated Mgr. Stonor to represent him. Cardi- nal Manning has written him to ex- press the joy the English Catholic Bishops felt at the elevation to the Sacred College of one {who for thirty years they had regarded with so true a friendship for his many virtues, his sacradotal example and his signal ser- viecs to the Catholic faith.

In the following vigorous words, White- law Reid describes what he considers to be true independence in journalism :— ‘“[ may claim to have been one of the apostles of independent journalism, but the zeal of the new converts has quite left me amoaog the old fogies. It never oe- cured to me that ia refusing to obey blind- ly every behest of a party it was neces- sary to keep aloot from party—to shut off one’s self from the sole agency through which among free people, lasting political results can be obtained. A government like ours without party is impossible, Of all the puerile follies that masqueraded before high heaven in the guise of reform, the most childish has been the i7e» that the edi'o: could vindicate his i cad- ence only by sitting on the tence aad throwing stones with impartis ror alike at friend and foe.”’

The London T'ines correspondent at Ischi says:—‘*A journey across three-quarters of Western Austria shows that the crops of Upper aud Ceatral Behemia have run unduly to straw, 1a consequence of the unprecedented rain-fali. In the valley of the Daaube, above Linz, the fields are superb, but it is feared the continual rains will prevent successful harvest- ing. The same anxiety is prevailing through- out the cast, and is now being intensified by almost daily showers.”

Constitutional Gatarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Oxt.:—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy ’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ong to see if the eyre would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me te be “‘too good to true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par. ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarcter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave ‘to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
