“ BLIND TOM’ AS HEIS TO-DAY.
His Fassion For Music Is Just As Strong As Ever It Was.
“The name Thomas Wiggins means
nothing to the majority of readers,” writes John J. A’Becket in the September Ladies’ Home Journal. “ Sut Thomas Wiggins ‘a * Blind Tom,’ a na oe familiar to hun- dreda of thousands in this country and abroad, who bave heard the piano played by this wonderful negro. The impression that he is dead is a pretty general ove. As a matter of fact, Blind Tom bas never been ill a dav in his life. On the banks of the Shrewsbury River, in # domain of over two hundred acres of woodland, stands a picturesque iwo and-a-half story’ wooden house with a broad veranda. Here Bliad Tom is at home.
“His hands are not at all ‘piano hands’ In place of the slender, long-fingered bands which one so often sees in great piaoists, Tom’s bande are small and plump, with the thambs and tapering fin- gers quite short.
“The strongest impression 1 bore away was that of the sweet, contented life the poor, blind negro is leading. There was pathos in it. I had expected te find a wonder at the piano, and I did, for his un~ taught mastery of the instrument 18 mar- velous. From the time when the Bethune family left the dinner table to see who could be playing on the piano, and discov- ered the sightless pickaonniay of four years perched on the stoo!, his little hands plucking uncanny welody from the key- board—from that time until now he bas had an unwavering devotion to the instru- ment whose music is bis lite.
RUSSIAN OAT CROP.
New Yorx, Aug 27.—The cable report that Russian oat crop prospects are of the brightest bas not beew received with joy by exporters in thie country. Ovzcar Lyle said te a Commercial reporier: “ It is nofortuvate that this vear, when we bave an exceptionally large oat crop, Russia should bave a good crop too. _—Last year, owing to the failure of the Russian crop we sent an unusually large quantity to the United EKiagdom and she Continent. This year we chal! have Ru«sia as acompetitor, and as she supplies a fiver quality of oats than wedo, the British and Continental consumers will buy iv the Russian market instead of bere. ‘* With an estimated crop of 678,576,000 bushels, we find ourselves deprived of the prospect of the European market. lo addition, we bave an except- iopally fine hay erop, andthe finest fall pasture season this country bas ever seen. The buying countries save no extra wants, and the market showsno indication of a widening demand. For the exporters, of therefore, thia will be an unprofitable year, as compared with lest. The short corn crop will, belp thesituation a littl, how~ ever.”

BISMARCK’S LAST HOURS.
His Physician’s Curious Story.
Througb the medium of his friend,Count Vou Hoensbruch, editor of the Tagliche Rundschau, Dr. Schwenioger give: a his- tory of his personal relations with Prince Bismarck and his Says Dr. Scu- oger: ‘Mv whole thought tred upon the Prince. Now my life seews aimless. Mytelegram of July 27 was in no sensealie. It wasdirected against the seusational pewspa;er anvouncemens that the Prince was afflicted with poisonivg of the blood. When I telegraphed you the
inbess,
wen s were cen
Prince was particularly well. After a loug series of eleepless nights he had sle;
seven hours, and he felt fresh and inv- gorated. He smoked five pipes, one atier
the other.1 felt no uneasiness in leaving him. He was, indeed, so well that] invited him to take champagne, afier hav- ag forbidden him to take any alcoholic drink since March.
“What, my dear Schweninger, may | really driuk some sec again ?” cried the Prince incredulously.
‘We drank a bottle and a half. He was once again the Bismarck of old. His pains had left him.’
Dr. Schweninger describes his bistori~ cal return to the dying Chancellor. He Saye:
‘Death was due to want of air in the lungs. He imagined that death would re~ eult from sudden paralysis of the brain or heart. There had alwavs been trouble in the leg since the St. Petersburg incident, but this was by no means so bad at the time of his death as at many times pre~ viously. The rapid closing of the coffin was dictated by no desire to prevent any~ body whatever from seeing the boly.’
Passing from his profess onal to his privafe relations with Prince Bismarck, Dr. Schweninger relates that Bismarch bad repeated tohim again and again that hie dismissal was his death sentence. It robbed him of the whole object of his life.
The hermit of Friedrichsruhe had no field in which to exercise his superabun~ dant energy.
‘His agony of son!,’ says Dr. Schwenin~ ger, ‘was intense.’
' “Often did he say to me, ‘The Old Ro- mans voluntarily took leave of life when they were forced to quiet the scene of their public activity, but this fate is not for me.””
Eulogizing Prince Bismarck’s conversa-~ tional powers, Dr. Schweninger says :
‘I remember not long since listening to him discuss a particular subject which bad here better be Jeft unmentiaoed, In his passion he suddevly elasped his head with both haods and stormed :
*“IfT could but interfere in this dis- gusticg business and tel] them what result it will have; but, as you know, Schwenin ger, my trumpet will sound no longer. It no longer holds wind.”
‘Mourofully the iron Chancellor looked into the political future. “We are advanc- ing towards difficult aod dangerous times”’ he would say.
‘Despite his temperament, Biemarck’s pulse waa scarcely sixty to the mipute. is lungs were magnificent. One breath a minute would have sufficed him, if ne- ceseary.
‘This character,’ the doctor continued, which I got toknow as no one else, was simplicity itself. The pbrase, “No one is great in the eyes of his valet,” did not apply to Bismarck.’

LORD BERESFORD’S MISSION.
London, Aug 27,—Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, Conservative member of Parliament for the city of York, who was recently commissioned by the Associ- eted Chambers of Commerce on a apecial mission to Chinais now on his Eastern journey. Lord Beresford goes to investi- gate the prospects of commerce and to report particularly as to the extent to which the Chinese Goveroment will guarantee the safety of British capital already invested and of contemplated investments. He will probably be absent several months.
The St,James’s Gazette says that Lord Beresford will visit Pekin and confer with Sir Claude Macdonald, British minister to
| China, prior to taking uphis dutiesas a
special investigator. His mission, the paper says, is ostensibly of a purely commercial character, but he has a free band to gather any information calculated to enable him to arrive at conclusion as to the value of the British concession and its acministrative needa, He is especially accredited to the mid-China Viceroys of Navkin and Hankow, and is authorzed to institute enquiries wherever British inter- ests are concerned. The Shanghai~ Nankin Railway will ultimately te extended toHankow, and Lord Charks will impress upon the officials its strategi~ cal and commercia] importance. Lord Charles Beresford’s trip will inciudea visit to Japan, ——— th i
Ottawa Journal: The reported failure of the Russian wheat crop has caused Canadian farmers that oft-described “feel ing of regret mingled with joy.” Their hearts gooutto the poor peasants who have had their hopes blighted by the fail- ure of their harvests, but they will not be likely to forget that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good.

SEPTEMBER MAGAZINES.
Tuk New Brunswick.
The September number or the New Brunswick Magazine is quite the «qual of
the preceeding numbers in respect to the juterest aud importance of the contents. Mr. James Hannay has the first of a series
of papers on the early French settlers be~ ginning with the first Acadian census and intended to fellow out the history of the ‘first familier” in laiter years. These pa- ‘pers will be of the highest historic valve in all parts of Canada. Rev. W. O. Ray- mond continues his account of the early Koglish settlers at St. John’ bringing to
geht much that is wholly new. Jonas Howe furnishes a complete ske'ch of the history of Kemble Manor, on the St. Jobn River, while the editor tells the story of the Shipyard Fire in Portland, in 1841. 'he various departments, including Notes aod Queries and Provincial Bibliography, are well sustained. The Magazine hae 56 pages and is finely printed Itis edited aod published by W. K. Reynolds, St. Joho, at $1 50a year, aud as an educator in the matter of provincial history is a de~ parture which should be welcomed both at home and abroad,
£CRIBNER'S.
The wararticles in the September Scrib ner’s are led by Richard Harding Davis’s account of “The Rough- Riders’s Fight at Guasimas.” Thereis nO infermation at second-hand in this article. Mr. Davis was io the thick of the fight and writes of what hesaw. When he cruanes, once for all, the story of a surprise, he does it with positive knowledge of the previous orders given and received by General Wheeler and Col. Wood. ‘The conversation he had with the men in the fight are vivid bits of dramatic dialogus. The whole article is the fullest as well as the moet thrilling account of the Guasimas fight yet publish- ed and will stand as the historical picture of that famous event. The illustrations give many of the best known men in the Rough Riders, and views of the country
over which they fought. There are alse drawings from life by the artist H. C. Christy, who was there.
Episodes of the Santiago Campaign are given in brief and exciting varratives. Edward Marshall, the heroic correspond- ent who insisted on dictating his account of the fight while supposed to be dying on the field, is now in a New York hospital and has written his recollections of the Guasimas fight. What it means to be shot and to pe in @ fielu hospital, expecting death has never been presented so feelingly before. What most effected Mr Marsha!] was the unselfishness and kindness of other wounded men around him. Another correspondent, J E Cham- berlin, of the New York evenins Post, was in the thick of the fight, and describes “How the Spaniards Fought at Caney.” It is a generous recognition of what so many officers in the regular army have commented npon—the brave fighting of the Spanish in treuches.

There is no joy in this world equal to the happiness of motherhood. A woman’s health is her dearest possession. Good looks, good times, happiness, love and its continnance, depend on her health. Al- most all of the sickness of women is trace- able directly or indirectly to some derange- ment of the organs distinctly feminine. Tronbles of this kind are often neglected because @ very natural and proper modesty keeps women away from physicians whose insistence upon examinstion and local treatment is generally as useless as it is common, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription will do more for them than 99 doctors in 100. It will do more than the hundredth doctor can unless he prescribes it. It is a prescription of Dr.R V Pierce, who for 30 vears has beep chief consulting physician ot the World’s Dispensary and Invalid’s Hotel, at Buffalo, N.Y.
