HAPPY MEN AND WOMEN. Who Can Relish and Enjoy Their Meals.

The most miserable mortals in our com- munities are those who are weighed down by obstinate and crnel indigestion.

The digestive organs are all out of gear, and the sufferer is tormented every hour of the day. The greatest distress is ex- perienced after eating ; there is heaviness or weight in the pit of the stomach, almost continual headache, want of appetite, pal- pitation of the heart, sluggish and torpid bowels and constipation.

The common cathartics and medicines of the day only aggravate the sufferer’s troubles, and canse him to sink deeper in the mire of suffering and despondency.

Nature’s wondrous remedy, Paine’s Cel- ery Compound, is the only medicine now generally prescribed by the best physi- cians. It acts directly on the nerves, it cleanses the blood, and removes all ob- structions and distressing matter from the digestive organs, and gives that perfect vigor of body that only the healthy can enjoy. After using Paine’s Celery Com- pound eating becomes a pleasure, sleep is natural and sound, and life is worth living.

Mrs. H. Cormack, of Hal’*ax, N.S., who suffered for years, writes us follows: “Tt is with pleasure that | add my _tes- timony to the value of Paine’s Celery Com- pound. For a numberof years I have suffer-

ed greatly from indigestion and palpitation of the heart. It was perfect misery for me to go up stairs or up @ hull, as my breath was short and weak ; and eating a meal was something I dreaded, as I suffered such ag- ony afterwards. I could only get tempor- ary relief from doctors medicines and re- medies, Last summer my heart troubled me so frequently, that I became weak and miserayle —so miserable thatI felt like a burden. I had heard a great deal of Cele- ry Compound but hal no idea that it would benefit me in any way. At last I was persuaded try it, and by the time the first bottle was used I was gr-a'ly benefitt- ed. I have used five bottles of the com- pound, apd say with truth, that no other medicine has ever given me stch wonder- ful resuits. The palpitation of the heart has not tronbled me for some months; I can now eat a hearty meal, and do not experience any pain afterwards.

‘““Paine’s Celery Compound cannot be too highly spoken of, and [ tru-t all who suffer from the complaints which I have had, will use it without any delay or fear for | am certain they will receive great be- nefits, and will soon be convinced that Ce- lery Compound iz the surest, safest, and best of remedies.”

STORY OF JABEZ BAL FOUR A SANCTIMONIOUS SWINDLER AND HYPOCRITE.

The Methods by Which He Was Enabled to Bleed the British Pablic to the FEx- tent of Several Millions of Pounds stert!- ing.

Jabez Balfour was recently caught in Argentina and extradited, and is now in an English prison. If one-half of the accusations against him be true, he must rank as one of the very foremost swindlers of the age. Scarcely since the bursting of the South Sea Bubble has there been a financial scheme so widely ruinous to confiding investors as his operations. The losers through the collapse, of his comanies were literally to be numbered by hundreds of thous- ands. These were largely the very peo- ple who could least afford to lose—wid.- ows and orphans and aged people of small means. They had been induced to invest because ‘“‘Mr. Balfour was such a good man!” His father and mother had been temperance lecturers. He was a temperance lecturer. He was a leader in church affairs, particularly eloquent in public prayer and exhor- tation. He looked with the strongest disapproval upon theatres, music halls, cards, dancing, and all such worldly things. He was, moreover, @ member of the house of commons, where he was one of the most enthusiastic followers of Mr. Gladstone, and one of the staunchest champions of home rule and one of the sternest reprovers of the house of lords for its plutocracy and its contempt for the common people. He was, in brief, the one simon-pure, all- wool, warranted-to-wash Friend of Hu- manity. Surely such a man was to be trusted.

This truly good man began his finan- clering many years ago, choosing “building and loan associations’ as the most promising field for his peculiar tal- ents. Strange as it may appear, he laid the foundations of his colossal scheme upon the ruins of various s!milar schemes that had ended in disaster— to their confiding stockholders. “The Liberator,” his chief concern, was built upon the ruins of the Alliance National Land, Building and Investment society —with which two of his later colleagues, the Rev. Dawson “urns and Mr. Dib- ley, were associated, the former having acted as auditor—and the Estates bank and a number of other allied concerns known as the Alliance Group. These undertakings were popularly associated with the United Kingdom Alliance, though after the crash the latter body yery emphatically declared that the companies had no connection with its organization. The bank closed its doors in 1866, and widespread distress was the result, attracting to little attention,amid the more colossal failures of that disas- trous year. Yet the whole Alliance Group had ten formed to afford safe investments for the funds of thrifty temperance adherents, and Jabez Bal- four, so far from being discouraged by its fate, found in it the idea of all his future operations. The Alliance Group had ingeniously suggested temperance, and the Alliance of Manchester. There- fore, said Jabez, we must revive this principle ; join temperance and religion, and appeal to the same saving classes. Having previously had some experience in the office of a firm of parliamentary agents, he came modestly before the world in 1867 as the virtual founder of the Lands Allotment company, from which, seven months later, was devel- oped the Liberator Building society. The basis of the organization was expressed in its Latin motto : “Libera sedes liber- um facit”’—a free home makes a free man. Its name was a success ; hun- dreds of Congregationalists were at- tracted by its prospectus, from a vague idea that it had something to do with the Liberation society, and p ossibly trading on this belief an appeal was made to Noncomformist ministers and others connected with temperance and religious societies all over the land to promote its beneficent objects. In the first year they received one per cent. commission on the shares and deposits, and subsequent- ly 1-2 per cent.,*and the in drworardad sum of $705,000 was paid in this way. How thoroughly the moral idea was present in these proceedings was shown when, in 1871, on the society removing to its new offices, a resolution was adopt- ed “that on the occasion of taking pos- session this day of our new premises, the directors desire to record their own sense of thankfulness for prosperity with which, as they believe, God has hitherto blessed their efforts in the es- tablishment of this business.”

In starting these companies it was, of course, declared that they were es- sentially safe, because their main busi- ness was “the legitimate one of a build- ing society.” In point of fact, though this continued to be, up to the very eve of the smash, the keynote of all the published statements, the bulk of the transactions had become of a widely different character. In 1875 another as- sociation was hatched, the “Lands Allot- ment Company,” with practically the same directorate and Jabez Spencer Bal- four as the controlling genius. The re- lations between these were extensive and peculiar ; in five years the Liber- ator had financed the other two to the extent of $960,000 ; its shareholders and depositers knew little, if anythin, of the state of affairs, while, according to the examination in the bankruptcy court, its leading directors and officials were equally innocent of all knowledize—the one thing in which they all agreed being implicit and unlimited confidence in “Mr. Balfour.

From this period onward there was a regular succession of new companies. It has been well said that the secret of Balfourian finance was, “When in diffi- culty, start a new company.” Thus there followed in succession Hobbs & Co., the London and General bank, the Build- ing Securities company. George New- man & So Real Estate company, and the S ngham Development com- pany. In most of these concerns there was a regularly paid dividend of 5 per cent to the shareholders anc 4 per cent to the depositors. The recklessness of the financing was never surpassed. Bal- four discovered a progressive builder at Croydon named Hobbs, a man in a com- paratively small way of business, in 1878, and a member of the House and Lands Trust. Such large amounts were advanced to Hobbs that in 1885, when he was practically insolvent, he owed the Liberator $3,500,000 and the Building Securities company and Hobbs & Co. (limited) were successfully started to take up the concern. Finally when Hobbs failed, having in the meantime

simplicity Each took over some of t! od ones, and these were put down as rO many transactions, sev- erally yieiding a handsome profit and splendid security—or, as the phrase went, “a large and noble property’’— to the Liberator.

Apart from these transactions, “the Balfour group’ were financing proper- ties of a more 0° Iess speculative char- acter all over the country. There were the Ilford, the Tilbury and the Rom- ford estates, Meersbrook Park, the Bil- liter street property, the Hockley Hall colliery and sundry chemical works. All these involved scores of thousands of pounds, paid appa ent'y with a mag- niflcent disregard to real value. The advances to fricnés were on an equally liberal scale.

NAPOLEON'S MASTERPIECE.

solicitor,

The Malian Campaign showed Uls Great- est Milifury Genius.

Prof. W. M. S!oan, in The Century.

In later years Napoleon himself be- lieved and subsequent criticism has confirmed his opinion, that the Italian campaign, taken as a whole, was the greatest. The revolution of a system, social, politica], or military, is always a gigantic task. It was nothing less than this which Bonaparte had wrought, not in one, but in al three spheres, dur- ing the summer and autumn of 1796. The changes, like those cf most revolutions, were changes of emphasis and degree in the application of principles already divined. ‘Divide and conquer,” was an old maxim ; it was a novelty to see it applied in warfare and politics as Bona- parte applied it In Italy.

It has been remarked that the essen- tial difference between Napoleon and Frederick the Great was that the lat- ter had not ten thousand men a month to kill. The notion that war should be short and terrible had, indeed been clear te the great Prussian; Carno and the times afforded the opportunity for its conclusive Cemeonstration by the geniu: of the greater Corsican. Concentration of besiegers to breach the walls of a town was nothing new,but the triumph- ant application of the same principle to an opposing line of troops, though well known to Julius Ceaser, had been for- gotten. and its revival was Napoleon's masterpiece.

The martinets of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had so exaggerat- ed the formalities of war that the re- Jation of armies to the fighting ground had been Lttle studied and well-nigh forgotten ; the use of the map and the compass, the study of reliefs and pro- files in topography, produced in Bona- parte’s hands results that seemed to duller minds nothing short of miracul- ous. One of these was to oppose the old- school rigid formation of troops by any formation more or less open and irregu- lar according to curcumstances, but al- ways the kind best suited to the char- acter of the region chosen for the con- flict.

The {rst two days at Arcole were the triumphant vindication of this concept.

Finally there was a fascination for the French soldiers in the primitive savag- ery of their general, which, though part- ly concealed, and somewhat held in by training, nevertheless was wiliing to devote the spoils of their conquests to making the men themselves opulent ; which scorned the limitations of human powers in himself and them, and thus accomplished feats of strength and stratagem which gratified to satiety that love for the uncommon, the idea! and the great, which is inherent in the spirit of their natiosi. In the successful com- bination and evolution of all these ele- ments there was a grandeur which Bonaparte and every soldier of his army appreciated at its full value.

CHANGES IN NEW ENGLAND.

The New York Nation declares that “the old New England society, in many ways one of the most interesting pheno- mena in history, has been completely broken up. The disappearance from the map of a community more remarkable, on the whole, for its civic virtues thay any the world has seen since the days of an- cient Greece has wrung hardly a word of lamantation or regret from any of the re- cognized organs of New England opinion.” Upon this the Boston Standard remarks that that “the alleged decay is aot of New England stock, but of some past forms of New England life. And this decay in forms is but temporary, for other and bet- ter forms will be provided to fit the new and better’life.” The Standard adds that “the one grave danger to New England society is the foreign and hoatile element within its borders. If it cannot be ab- sorbed, it must be expelled, for its whole spirit and character, its material, intel- lectual, political, moral and religious ex- istence, is utterly opposed to everything that is characteristic of New England life.
