Maritime Union.

The Toronto (jlobe considers that the ditli-

culties in the way of Maritime Union are not: . . ; many or formidable. As to the question of | locating the capital, it says: © Surely such a thing as this could be safely left to the decision

of some one in whose judgment all would have confidence, and by whose decision all would be for instance, could do

ready to abide. Who, tf

such @ thing more honestly and more impar- °

tially than our present (sovernor Geneial ? Or, if it were thought better, it might be de- termined by arbitration, each Province choos- ing one, and allowing them to name an umpire, whose decision would be accepted cheerfully as authoritative and final. We notice that the two Chamber plan is rather in favor. We in Ontario have found one do remarkably well. It is cheaper; it does not absorb so many of our public men; and leaves, theretore, a larger number to choose from for the Dominioy Par- liament, while, instead of encouraging rash legislation, it has been found to tend in the opposite direction. The very fact of there be- ing no second Chamber to act as a check has made the members more careful that matters are not hurried through without due discus- sion and all possible attention.”” The Globe thinks that it would be a ‘‘great matter if Prince Edward Island could be taken in at the same time.”

Miscellaneous News.

King Victor Emmanuel has signed decrees nominating the new ministers. A London special to New York says that Earl Beaconstield he'd a council with the Queen at Windsor Castle, on the 27th. A Rome correspondent to London states that the establishment of the Scottish Hierarchy

will not be announced in the Consistory, either },

on December 25th or on January 3rd.

Some Canadian squatters in Manitoba are troubling the Mennonites. They should be squelched promptly.

It is a question much disputed as to whether or no British interests would be endangered by the annexation to Eussia of Turkish terri- tory on the upper waters.

Both the Queen and the Prince of Wales are said to favor the intervention in behalf of ‘Turkey, or rather, perhaps, to prevent the undue aggrandizement of Russia at Turkey’s expense.

Mr. Thos, Potts, Special Emigration Agent, is at present engaged in working up a scheme to provide settlers forthe North West. The colony is expected to sail from the Old World in May next.

The London World points out that the last volume of the ‘Life of the Prince Consort,” edited, under the supervision of the Queen, by Mr. Theodore Martin, is in effect a Royal trumpet call against Russia, Her Majesty be- ing still opposed to Russian aggression in a very energetic manner, And it is Lord, Beaconsfield who ir most in favor, on account ef his sharing so deeply the Royal feelings.

The Scotch farmers are just now in a bad way. The Glasgow Herald says: ‘‘ Another harvest like that from which the farmers are emerging, and it is not too much to say that halt tne agriculturalists of Scotland would find themselves in the Gazette. This may be thought a gloomy view of the position, but it is suiticiently founded on fact to bear the most questioning analysis.”

Affleck is extensively advertised as ‘‘the English Gough.” But as Gough is himself an Englishmen, we fail tosee the pomt of the appellation. We suppose the most of the peo- ple here, those of the younger generation es-

cially, think Gough is an American born ; bat this is a mistake ; he was a man grown, or nearly fso, before he left his native place, which is somewhere not far from London:

Mr. Evarts, Secretary of State, appeared in a New York the other day as counsel, and the gopers, without regard to party, denounced

is conduct as indecent and highly unbecom- ing. Yet the Ministerial papers in this coun- try applauded a Minister of Justice when he proposed to resume his practice before judges whose elevation rested mainly with him. Allof which goes to show that cur Yankee cousins have not yet thoroughly’ learnt the art of supporting an Administra- tion.

It appears that the rebellion in Punta Arcus, Costa Rica, was organized for the purpose of exterminating Capt. Guizalde, chief of the garrison. The governor at first was entirely unable to quell the rebellion. The rebels, after cruelly assassinating the captain, set fire to the buildings, including the hospital with all the patients in it. The church and house of the priest have escaped injured. The rebels. stole $7,000 from the treasury and robbed all’ houses of commerce. In the confusion they were killing each other. Of the houses com- posing the colony only about one-half remain :tinding. ‘The total number killed was forty, w.th fourteen wounded.

Tue Pope is now holding daily audiences, and is even rarer in health. Of the re ports telegraphed to London and thence to this continent, of his alarming relapses, etc., the London Tablet, the official Catholic paper, says “‘they are utterly without foundation.” The gentlemen who manufacture them in Rome know well they are wholly untrue ; but they always consider His Holiness good for an ‘item’ when the news is scarce. The. London Times the other day deliberately lent itself to the propagation of one of these baseless stories although its editor asked and obtained the assurance of a high dignitary of the Church in the metropolis that the Pope at the very time the message was sent was giving an audience to a number of Corsican priests, and was in | better health than he had been for many months.”

In 1855 Lord Palmerston spoke rs follows on the Eastern question: ‘‘ The intention of Russia to partition Turkey is manifest as the sun at noonday, and it is to prevent that that we are contending. Such 1s the object of the war, and not only to defend Turkey, the weak against the strong, but to avert injury and danger from ourselves. Let no man imagine that if Turkey is destroyed by Russia, that that gigantic Power strides like a colossus from the Baltic on the one hand to the Medi-. terranean on the other, let no man suppose the great interests of this country would rot be in peril ; let not the peace-at-all-price party imagine that their commercial interests would not be deeply imjured. Trade would soon d.s\ppear were the Mediterranean and Baltic under the command of a Russian naval force,

and that power exercising a dominant control.” | EX AM | N ER O FFI C E ; | Dec. 19, 1877—2m

:

| he Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when tho 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. MELYIN’S CAPSICUM 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 are siow of action, and oe to be worn continually to effeet a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures 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, — in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas-

teva and liniments, and they have failed, and ou want @certain cure, ask your druggist for

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on ite safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it fe free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient arantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundrede to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELvrn’s Carpst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on mensions of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
