**Do you expect an effort will be made in that direction ?”

‘I think so. The Government will not attempt it alone, but will seek to pass a coercion bill along with a sham Home Rule bill. At least I conjecture so.”

Mr. McCarthy said it was possible that Home Rule might be achieved by the Tories, who had before fought reform until it was inevitable. Lord Randolph Churchill, , he said, was clever, audacious and had a | schoolboy’s courage. He might educate his | party up to Home Rule. | ‘*How long before you expect Home Rule to be brought about ?”

What O'Donovan Rossa Says,

O'Donovan Rossa was seen a few days ago anent the sweeping charges published from the Executive Council of the Fenian brotherhood, wherein he is accused of ap- propriating the Fenian funds and inducing traitors like McDermott aud Phelan. He, of course, flatly denied all the charges, and said they were the outcome of a conspiracy. Phelan was an English agent who engaged with them to do certain work in America. It strikes me that there is another Phelan in America now, who has taken a similar contract from England, and my best and shrewdest advisers tell me that it is so. Major P. H. Horgan, of the irish brigade, is on his way to California. He sailed

on the Acapulea on November 24, and his last words to me when

speaking to him at his home = in Brooklyn the Sunday before were, ‘Rossa beware !’ ‘You don’t think,’ said [, there is any danger of any more Phelan’s or Dudley's *No,’ no said he; ‘but to kill you another way is what England would pay thousauds for.’ I had a narrow escape from that Dudley woman—not the escape of my life, but the escape of my virtuous reputation. gut the Dudley woman has been cared for by those who employed her. She has been in the Middle- ton asylum, but has been stolen out of it.

Free Yr2zde,

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefitted the consumers, as wellas relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Especially is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup, 18 the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the so cent size.

The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, 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 appreciated by the sick and afHicted, in every town and village in civilized coun- tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size,
