Much sensation has been produced by the refusal of Costello to allow the military and their bands or the authorities to share in the mantfestations proposed by the Mur- cian Relief Committee in testimony of the gratitude of Spain to France, for the aid sent to sufferers by the recent floods. The refusal was to avoid political disturbances.

on this point, as in the case of the emigra- ia . “ 5 Dec. 17, °79-—-lw

tion from the Western States to Manitoba, the British Premier was not so very far wrong after all. Tacitus states in the beginning of the 3rd chapter of his ‘‘ Agricola” that Nerva Cesar had harmonized ideas formerly considered incompatible, ‘‘Principatum . ac Liber- tatem.” ‘‘Principatus ac Libertas” is so nearly equivalent ‘‘Imperium et Libertas,”’ that a busy statesman may be excused for using one instead of the other. Perhaps there has seldom been written a more just and compreliensive appreciation of the duties of a good ruler than the fol- lowing which Pliny (the younger) has in- cribed in his panegyric on Trajan, whom Tacitus mentions in the succeeding clause to the one from which we have quoted as having added to the prosperity of the Em.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person wae has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia;-and in fact all throat. and lung diseases. No per- son can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists te re- commend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at
