LETTERS TO

Justin MeCarthy.

Sir,—There appears to be some doubt as to whether Mr, Justin MeCarthy isa Pro testant or Catholic. We have all along

been led to believe that he is a member of the Church of England. ‘* However it be, it seems to me ‘tis only noble to be good, and Justin McCarthy has assuredly proved himself to be one of Nature’s noblemen. | He has distinguished himself not only as a literary man, but asa statesman of broad | and liberal views—not a Socialist, nor even j 2 Radical], but a Liberal in the true sense ol ithe world. The high esteem in which he is he ld, and the confidence reposed in) him, are evinced by the fact that within the last few days he has been declared the elected member of Parliament for the ultra-Protes

t tant constituency of Londonderry. 3 7

Gur Distinguished Visitor. **[t is not day that our people have the privilege of hearing a man s» eminent in field as Justin McCarthy is in three—politics, liter ature and journalism. One of the subjects on which he speaks is « burning question in imperial statesmanship, and one in which all are interested. The federal system of local self-government, whereof Mr. Me- Carthy wrote approvingly in one of his recent letters to the New York Indep. ndent, has net the charm of nov elty to the people of Canada. It has nearly had the benefit of twenty years trial here, and has worked so well that the people of Canada may be expected to agree that a federal unton of Great Britain and Ireland would be a safe and simple solution of the present difficulty. Mr. McCarthy does not, we believe, disclose any detailed scheme for Irish self-government, but talks pleasantly and instructively of what has been accom- plishe@by the Irish party, and in general terms points out what they hope to accom- plish. Probably there are persons in this city who are opposed to Irish home rule under any condition, These, however, will be glad to see the author of the ‘ His- tory of Our Own Times,’ a work which must please any person who knows a good book when he sees it. — + <r Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and the ?

taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefitted the } consumers, as well as relieving the burden of

mie manuiacturers. Especially is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen has been added to increase the size ot the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the sv cent size,

The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Comp! 1int, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The ad- vantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly apprec iated by the sick and aftlicted, in every town and village in civilized coun- tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the Same s81Ze.

In Brazil slavery is being gradually abolished. At 60 years of age slaves are made free, and 65,000 of these at that age and upwards have recently been enrolled as emancipated.
