A Scotch peer, whe has not the good fortune to be one of the representative peers sent to the House of Lords, is in xu very strange position. fe does not sit in the House of Lords. He is forbidden by law to sitin the House of Commons. He cannot even vote fora member of parliament. He is, in fact, politically disfranchised, because he is a peer. In fact, idiots, paupers, felons and Scotch peers are precisely in the same category as far as politics are concerned.

A Paris despatch states that the ravages of the Phylloxera are becoming more serious daily.

Showers of fish, such as have been re- ported from Kokoma, Ind., and Napa. Cal., are not unknown in history, and there has been showers of rats, te say noth ing of times when it has rained cats and dogs. In 1828, Major Forbes Mackenzie, cf Fodderty, in Rosshire, Scotland, walk- ing in his fields one day, found the ground covered with lively herring-fry, and two years afterwards a similar occurrence was voticed in the Island of Islay, when fresh herrings in great numbers came down ap- parently from the clouds. In 1839 or 1840 there was another such rain near Allaha- bad, in India, and 1804 a memoir was pre- sented to the Freneh Academy by Profes- sor Pontus, telling how a great shower of frogs had fallen near Toulouse a short time before. How things like these may come to pass is indicated by a case on record in which a colony of rats in Nor. way, While migrating from the high to the lew countries, was caught up in a high wind, borne through the air and deposited in a neighboring valley.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip tion of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated German Physician, and is acknowledged to be one

ef the most fortunate disceveries in Medicine. it quiskly cures Coughs, Colds

and all lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, asit dees, the cause of the

affection and leaving the parts in a strong ani healthy condition. It is not an experimental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving

satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two million botiles sold annually. Beware of modicines of similar names, lately intro- duced, Boschee’s German Syrup was in- troduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilize world. Three doses will re- lieve any ordivary ceugh. Price 75 cents.
