An Ottawa despatch says the following members of the Government will be present at the workingmen’s social on Tuesday night next, at the Rink Music Hall, Ottawa: Right Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper, Hon. H. Langevin, Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, Hon. J. C. Aitkens, Hon. James McDonald, and Hon. John O'Connor.

TuE following ‘‘personal” is published in Canadian papers: Sussannah Elkinton, the wife of William Elkinton, is informed that on sending her address to Messrs. Millington & Simpson, Solicitors, Bosten, Lincolnshire, Engiand, she will be entitled to receive her share of the estate of her father, George Mar- tin, late of Haven Bank, Lincolnshire, Eng- lanl. In the event of the said Susannah Elkinton being dead, any of her children who may be living are requested to communicate with Messrs. Millington & Simpson.
Tue intense feeling engendered by the land controversy throughout ireland grows deeper if not more demonstrative. A baliff, on at- tempting, a day or two ago to serve a decree of ejectment upon a farmer occupying a small holding in Kerry, was attacked and hilled by the farmer's wife. ‘The populace assembled on the scene in great numbers, and threatened to resist by force any attempt which might be made by the officers of the Jaw to arrest the woman.

frr CHARLES TuPPER put the case of the stcel rails pretty strongly in his speech at the Ottawa Banquet. The account with interest or other incidents, stands thus :—
50,000 tons at $54.60... ...0..0.0.- $2,730,000 50,000 tons at $24:24............... 1,212,000
Total less to the country......$1,518,000
But the purchase of Sir Charles Tupper at $24.24 was not only good compared with Mr. Mackenzie's former purchase in 1874; it is good as compared with prices at present ruling, which are higher now than when he
=? bought. At present the account reads thus :— 50,000 tons at $24.24..............$1,212,000 50,000 tons at £7 5s. stg.......... 1,764, 163 Saving to the country........ $ 552,165
This, any way the case is looked at, the purchase of Sir Charles Tupper is a mest creditable thing compared with the purchase of Mr. Mackenzie.

Maxrriacs Betts.—A few months ago Alfonso, King of Spain, lost his beautiful young Queon, and there was mourning for her not enly in Spain but all over . Europe. On Saturday the blank made in the’ Royal House of Spain was filled up, and King Alfonso became the happy husband of a beautiful, amiable, and accomplished Princess. Marriage bells drove out the remembrance of the sad funeral bells of a few monthsago. It is the way, and has been the way, of the world. We wish Al- fonso and his Queen a long and happy life. There were in Spain on Satarday two sad- hearted ex-Queens—Isabe!la who had been driven from the throne of Spain, and poor bereaved Eugenie, ex-Empress of France. Sorrow and desolation come to crowned

Rumors are current that an attempt was made upon the life of the Czar while he was onhis way to Moscow, but no authentic details are received.
The Czar will inform the nobility of Moscow, at the reception to-day, of his de- termination to call a number of unofticial advisers to assist him in the Government. The Council will be purely deliberative, without any right of control or interference, and will be chosen partly by the snffrages of the middle and peasant classes and part ly by direct nomination by the Czar from the ranks of the hereditary nobility. Other measures of local reform will also be an- nounced. These innovations have been strongly advocated by the Czarewitch.

Read and Learn for Yourself. Many valuable discoveries and much use- ful knowledge is kept from the world, be- cause of the immense expense in making them known to the people. This is not the case with Boschees German Syrup, although but a few years introduced into this coun- try, its sale now reaches in every town and , village in the U. 8. Its wonderful success in curing Consumption, severe Conghs, Pneumonia, Asthma, and all other diseases © of the throat and lungs, was first made known by distributing every year, for three years, over 400,000 bottles to the afflicted, free of charge, by Druggists. Nosuch a test of merit was ever given before to any other preparation. Could you ask more! Go to your druggist and get a bottle for 75 cents and try it. Sample botiles 10 cents.
