He bas been a great sufferer from Scrot- ula, and theinclosed letter will tell you what a marvelous effect Ayer's Sarsaparilla has had in his case. I think his blood mnst have contained the humor for at least ten years: but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which ap- peared at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. [ assure you he was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine. Now, there are few men Of his age who enjoy as good health as he kas, I could easily name fifty persons who would teetify to the facts in his case. Yours truiy, W. M. PHILLIPS.” FROM THE FATHER: vleasare an a duty for me to state to you the benefit have derived from the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked 60 as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my lefe a burden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA I[n April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect — being now able to do & good day’s work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’S SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21, 1882.

Srr,—I observe by the last Weekly Patriot that a Grit demonstration recently took place at Mount Stewart. Passing by the first part of the proceedings I come at when “‘Galbraith’s Band p'ayed some ex- cellent music and gathered an audience around the grand stand.” Then, the Patriot gives us the names of those who took seats on the platform. And now began the feast of reason and the flow of soul. Mr. D. A. McDonald, the indefati- gable, ‘‘assisted by Mr. McLean,” made seme “rousing remarks,” which were fol- open. Forward came the brilliant member for King’s. He was out in the ice-boat last winter, and it was quite natural that he should say something about the winter to the McKenzie Government while in power, while they shamefully neglected to provide the winter steam communication named in the Terms of Union. He said nothing of the old tub Albert, nor did he give credit to the present Government for expending $200,000 on the Capes Branch Railway towards improving communica- tio with the Mainland. He wound up, we are told, by referring to the utter breakdown of Sir Jehn as a ‘‘great constitutional lawyer.” When ! What a critic on law. After this, Sir John will surely consult the Souris Blackstone. Now stand aside and give the next orator room while he strikes ‘‘some vigorous blows at the Franchise.” Here is one of the vigorous blows: He (Dr. Robertson) had heard the ditty sung , ‘‘It is good to be an angel.” Where and when, pray, did he hear this ditty sung. It is not in any of the melodies known to Sunday Schools; nor isit among the lullabies either. Put we must not be too particular on this head, seeing that he was suddenly reminded by Bro, Millner’s cartoon taat it is now good to be ared man. What a remarkable dis- covery. it wouldn’t do to be a brown, or a black, or a gray Indian. Only a red In- dian is to be envied. The coler was, no doubt, selected out of compliment to some of the retired, yet red-hot politicians on the platform. As the Dr, has gone back on the angel in his ditty and wants to be a red In. dian, some alteration in the ‘Franchise Bill” might, perhaps, be made next session in order to meet his wishes. It does seem strange that he would accept merely one position, for judging by his past political movements, one would expect him to be de- sirous of occupying both the angels and red Indian’s place at one and the same time. The little speech of the exquisite Mayor of Charlotietown was a fitting prelude to that of the great stretcher of the day, Mr. L. H. Davies. Mr. Davies is very clever at rebutting the statements of his oppon- ents when they are not present to defend themselves. But it would be much muvre manly for him to rebut the attacks of the Herald, through the press, and not at a one-sided Grit meeting. Oome, come, Mr. Davies, it won't do. The Herald has made certain grave and specific charges against you, and out of consideration for your poli- tical friends -if not for your own sake— you ought to face the music man-fashion, or acknowledge yourself badly whipped by the editor of that paper. The next speaker on the programme was Mr. David Laird. He dwelt, we are told, chiefly on the enor- mous increase of expenditure, and misman- agement that led to two rebellions in the Northwest. I hope he didn’t forget to tell about the wild and the worthless cattle that were given to the Indians while he was administering the affairs of the Northwest ; and also about the ‘‘enormous” quantities of oats and oatmeal it used to take to keep the Indians quiet, as well as about the $1,600 it cost the country to fetch him back to P. E. Island. If he had told his hearers all he knew about the late rebellion, he would have told them that the seeds of discontent among the Indians and half-breeds were sown while he was ‘* the Governor” of their affairs. The public is not so much concerned about the two worthies who spoke next, as it is curious to know why some of those seated on the platform were silent on so momentous an occasion. Why were D Farquharson and D. C. Martin, M. P. P.’s., so silent ? The former surely might have said some- thing about the Northwest rebellion. As he was so anxious to take a hand when it broke out first, he is no doubt still in sympathy with the rebel half-breeds. The latter too, had + fine chance to show off a bit. It being a Grit gathering, and his forte being politically working on the sly, no better opportunity fs likely to occur for sowe time. An ardent follower, strange he did not hold forth with thé rest. His silence, along with that of a former repre- The Political Ranters and their | once tothe hour of 230 on the clock, . SINGLE Copigs Two Cents, VOL 17.-—NO, 77. A Blue Madonna. THE STORY OF DESOLINA—A SHRINE AT CORANO. MIRACULOUS | (New York Herald.) A remarkable outbreak of religious hallucination has been spreading in Italy, near Placenza, where the mountain village of Cyrano has, it is alleged, been the scene of a miraculous appearance of the ‘Madonna. To this lonely spot, destitute of railway and telegraphic communication, ‘thousands are now flocking from ail directions. Men as well as women are falling upon the ground in a delirium of supplication, kissing the stones, |weeping, laughing, singing, many faint- ‘ing or falling into convulsiops, and some lying in a state of ecstat® trance. lowed by an ‘‘introduction to the speeches” | The particulars have been vague and imper- by F. McQuaid, Esq. The ball was now fect; but the Stampo has now published ‘the following from a correspondent whom ‘it has sent to the spot. |a@ month ago a little girl eleven years old, ' Desolina Lusenti, grandchild of the Corano crossing. He failed, however, to tell his} bell-ringer, declared that she had seen on audience what a servile following he gave|the mountain road of the Boscone a most He writes :—‘'Just beautiful lady (una signora, bella, bella), dressed in blue, comiag out of the wood, who said, ‘My child, 1 am the Madonna. Christ, my Son, has allowed me to come once more on earth. He is weary of the iniquity of men, and I am weary of their incredulity. I will stay in this place for a while among you, and you shal) come and adore me here and rebuild the oratory which was once on this spot.” She then disap- peared, but a few hours afterward all Corano knew what the girl had seen. ‘* Some were incredulous, but the greater number did not for a moment discuss the veracity of the girl’s statement. Desolina was hailed as the favorite child of the Madonna, and the whole population went out in procession to the spot at the entrance of the wood. From that moment there commenced a literal epidemic of ecstacies and visions. While I write, more than thirty little girls declare that they have seen and are in direct communication with the Madonna. To these are added men and women, young and old, married and single. I had scarcely put my foot outside the walis of Placenza before [I fuund that nothing was spoken of by the people but the Madonna of Corano. I can Only compare the frenzy of enthusiasm with which all rush to Corano to that of the Crusaders when about to behold Jergsalem for the first time. For miles round this village the country has the appearance of the Tuscan Maremma at the time of the unfortunate prophet of Arcidosso, David Lazaretti. Hanging from the branches of the trees and on the hedges on al! sides are offerings pre- sented by the pcarents to the miraculous shrine, which at present consists of a basket, draped with three or four cloths, on the roadside, to the right, as you proceed toward Corano. : ‘*Hundreds and hundreds of persons are seen laboring up the steep ascent, under the burning rays of the August sun. Some girls scramble up the bare rocks, suppli- cating the Virgia with loud cries to appear, until they faint with fatigue. Ro»- covering their senses they say they hear the voice of the Madonna, while ll present fall on the ground, kissing the earth with convulsive sobs and floods of tears. A profound impression is pro- duced. To aggravate matters, women known to be hysterical sing, langh and cry, causing cthet to imitate them. While I write this thousands are thronging hither from the valleys of the old Dichies from Piedmont, from Liguria, and from Lombardy. The number is estimated at 16,000. The authorities are now interfer- ing, and it is high time. Several doctors who have visited the place declared that the spread of this hallucination is likely to assume very alarming proportions.” oo Eruption of a Volcano. THE CRATER OF COTOPAXI OVERFLOWS AND DESTROYS ONE HUNDRED HOUSES. Panama, July 28,3 1885.—The steamer Lima, just arrived from the coast, brings newa of another eruption of the celebrated voleano of Cotopaxi. Phe La Nacion, of Guayaquil, of July 23, has the following concerning the event :— About one o’clock this morning we were awakened by a heavy artillery, apparently from guns of the heaviest calibre, which could not but alarm us. We sprang up hastily from our beds and hurried to the balcony of our house to ask the first passer- by what had happened. But the street was deserted, and the explosions followed one another in wonderful rapidity at times, and at vuthers causing a continuous roar, shaking the earth and causing the windows in the doors of the houses to rattle. We heard no clamor of trumpets, nor the op- posing shouts of ‘*‘ vivas” or ‘* mueras,” which are so frequently heard in battle, but what seemed to be an artillery combat of sentative of Belfast who was present, looks as thongh something had gone wrong in that quarter. And where was our own Mr. Yeo? We all love him, and the elec- tors of Mount Stewart would have been delighted to listen to him at a picnic. Then there were the two leaders of the local Opposition—Yeo and Perry—absent. To say nothing of the absence of the polish- ed Laurier or the firey Gillmore, it does look significant that many cf the leading local men of the Grit party failed to attend the meeting of the ranters at Mount Stewart. True Brive. Prince Co., Aug. 18, 1885. A plot of 2,000 feet of land, situated in Bucklersbury, Eng., was recently sold by auction for £15,000, being at the rate of £325,000 per acre. A gounterfeiter, arrested the other day in nnsylvania, had over four tons of metal ready to work up into coin. William D. Howell says that no woman can live in the same house with a genius. colossal proportions. ‘* What could it be?” '** What might it be?” A telegram sent this morning from Chim- o to Guayaquil communicates that in that city, situated almost at the foot of that gigantic volcano, there was what the resi- dents along the river Yana Yucu call an ‘* aluvion.” The damage done is probably consider- able, as 100 houses were destroyed proba- bly by this ‘‘aluvion.” The number of victims is not known. aoe - ~~ _oer « —-----— Only eight American poets have lived beyond the age of sixty years.
