tt issomething marvellous to contemplate variability of the war notes thit

the exceveding : At one time the

come to us from the East. 4 Russians are in Constantinople— the British nition in hot farore for war Mr. Gladstone s house sacked —the fleet sent to the scene and war ifievitable. In the course of forty-eight hours it turns out that the Russians have not gone into Constantin ple at all—that British consols have gone up to the proper level, and ‘all is quiet alung the Potomac. Only a few diys -g>. and all the wiseheads had come to tre copelusion that there was no honorable way for B itain to avoid a declaration of war ; nw it ‘s conceded that the chances are against it. Tie only conclesion to which one can leg: jtima ely arrive is, that none of the parties r-aliy want to go to war. If there was any venu ne desire on the part of Russia or Eng- Jarid for open hostilities, some excuse would easily be found to justify such a step. but we have reason to hope and believe that a sin- cere desire exists al around to avoid the hor- rors and disasters of a great struggle. rhe Russians do not seem to be quite as bad as gome have desired to make them out to be. It seems now most probable that the whole mat. ter will be left to the Conference, and that in a quiet Council Chamber such terms and con- ditions will be settled as will prove satisfac- tory to all parties, and no opportunity will be aiférded to prove whether or no Engl ind has so far degenorated in the sesle of nations. But this is all conjecture. The next budget of news my smell of war, and so we shall be kept in suspense until all is finished. -- Acad:an Resord-r.

Englishmen, Are!

AN INSTANCZ OF THE WAR FEELING IN TOE

MOTHER COUNTRY.

As one instance of the intensity of the feeling at present existing in England on the Exstern Question, the present dusument mxy suffiss to. show. It has been posted all over London on every boarding and in every conspicious position :—

‘‘Enevlishinen, arise! Your country is in dinger ‘ s despots of Marop? are conspiring acaiust you! Russia, aided by Mr, Gladstone, is seeking her revenge for the Crimean war. With France divided, Italy in Prince Bis mirck’s pocket, Austria under bi; thum), and Mr. Gladstones out of office, the son of Nicho las thought the time had come when he could redeem the bluuders and avenge the memories of 1854-5. Bat he will find that he has reck one ¥without his host. The Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava, and Sebastopol were not fousht and won fornothing. The present Russian inva. sion of Exstern Exrope and Asia Minor must b: immediately stoppel. Already we have permitted Russia to go too far. To morrow we may ba able to resist her. Stern resolu tion and deliberate action on the part of Eng.- land to day will break up the triple alliance, bring Erance into her proper place in the Councils of Europe, and drive the barbarous Muscovite home agam. Arise, then, English men, and assert your glorious traditions! The da ger phat now menaces you is great, but the rightedhshess of your cause will, as in times

ast, bear you through. The interests of Eng- fond and the interests of humanity, justice, freedom are one, and it is your proud privilege ands wiped duty to defend them.”

The Raleigh ‘* Observer” says that in the cem :téry of the Methodist church in Hender sonville, N. C., there is a petrified human body. ‘The wifeofa Mr. Wm. Murray died forty years agoin the Mississippi valley and wa; buried there. The husband, a‘ter several years’ residence in Texas exhumed the body in order to take it to Nerth Carolina, his na- tive State. ‘To his astonishment, he found it to be, in appearance, precisely as it was buried but turned tostone. He delivered the body to Mr. Byers, the father of his wife, in Hen- dersonville, who preserved it till long after the war in his cellar. About six years agoit was azain buried.

Lord Beaconsfield is certainly the oddest man out. By two recent deaths were placed at his disposal a vacancy in the Order of the Garter aad another in the Order of the Thistle. The former is the highest decoration in Eng- lind and the latter ia Scotland, and the both are eagerly sought after by our most aristocrat i: personages. ‘The first he refused for him s:lf, and the latter he has absolutely given, to the amazement of everybody, to no less a pcr- son than the eldest br ther of his deadliest po- l.tical eaemy, Mr. Gladstone, who is a Scotch Baronet,.aad, like his brother, opposed to Lord Beaconsiield in politics. It has been another of the surprises of which the Premier is so fond.

Trustworthy statistics regarding the recent famine in India show that out of 1,663,000 in habitants im the district of Bellary, 14,006 died of starvation in March alone, 1377. In that of Cydaral; “out of 1,390,090, there died in Feb- ruary 11,442; in Kuraaul, out of 959,649, those that starvedin January numbered 6,253. Ont of 23,000,000 in Madras there died in February 105,175, and by the end of June over 509,000. Bombay lost over 165,000 in the first three m >uths of the year, and it was anticipated that before relief came a total of 2,000,009 would dio. ' :

‘ur Incevptary Srexeoscope.—The Fitch- burg (Muass.) Sentinel of Thursday says: “ A laity residing in Ward Five was surprised, Wednesday evening, at finding a circular hole burned through a cloak which was hanging at some distance from the fire. An examination revealed the fact that during the afternoon a stereoscopé had been left in sucha position that the rays of the sun passed through the lens and came to a focus upon the cloak,”

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has heen a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Cavsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters 2re slowof action. and require to be worn continually to

ut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient wil) feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it ig only of very recent date that its advan- tages in @ porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MeLvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain euro, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVrIN'’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER,
