No organs of the body are more delicate or more sensitive than the kidneys. When symp- toms of disease appear in them not a moment is to be lost if health is to be restored. The best way to treat the kidneys is through the blood, cleansing it from the poison- ous matter which is usually at the bottom of kidney complaints. For this purpose there is no remedy —Auer’s Sarsaparilia “For many years I have been a constant sufferer from kidney trouble, and have tried a number of largely advertised kidney cures without benefit. At last a friend ad- vised me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. The use of eight bottles of this remedy eatirely cured my malady.” — Mary MILLER, 1238 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, N.

The British have made good, for a time at least, their predominating position on the Niger river, in rcorthwestern Africa, which has been menaced by the French, whose extraordinary audacity and energy displayed 1n overrunning much, of that part of Africa in spite of all obstacles, natural or political, one cannot help admir- ing. Within a few years, French explor- ing expeditions have, by running hither and thither throughout che interior of the great shoulder of the continent, aud making treaties ind establish- ing native pists, established claims to every district of the Hinteriand of tne coast possessions of Great Britain and other nations, thus joining their own coast colonies from the Mediterranean around to | the Gulf of Benin, and painting on the maps almost the whole centre of the country, including much of the Satara desert, the sortof the purple which has become quite offensive to the eyes of the British jingoes. The cutting off the hinterland ot the British possessions has not been without effect, as already the trade of some of those possessions with the interior has shown a notable decline. By their seizure of the native state of Borgu, with which the British had a treaty, the Frevch have extended their possessions on the right bank ofthe Niger farsouth to yery near the the port at which the river becomes navigable to its month, that is below the lowest contract. By this seizure thev have also increased ther terri- tory adjoining those remarkable Moham medan states lying between the Niger and its great tributary, the Benue, which are | ¥® | will tell you eo. | beautifier in the World. within the empire of the cultan of Sokota, known as the Hausesa States. Their pop- ulation numbers about thirteen millhons, itis beiieved, and, unlike the negrotribes of the surrounding countries, they fave a semi civilization of. theirown and afford by farthe best markct in north-western Africa for European goods. With the Sultan of Sokota the British, who hold the lower Niger country, negoo tiated a treaty by which ue accepted British protection for his empire, and opened it up to trade and commerce. In return the British paid him an annual subsidy of fifteen thousand dollars. Treaties were then made by the British with each of the Haussa Staves separately, in spite of which, two years ago one of them, Nupe, raided a British trading post, and finally preyented all com- merce, The British sent an expedition againstthe estate which possessed large armies, composed both of infantry aud cavalry and was therefore an extremely dangerous enemy. The great battle of Bida, which went in favor of the British, decided tre war, and Nups yielded, The Sultan of Sokoto was cffended with the British for invading his Empire without his sanction, and he determined to cast off the protection he had accepted. There was no other reason for doingso. The Fiench were by that time on his borders, and had probably led him to believe that he could safely doso. He had an ideathat he could play off the French against the Eng lish, and thus keep both European powers out, Then, again, to the east of his empire was the Arab empire founded to the north | and east of Lake Tchad by Rabeh, a furmer slave, and later slave commander under the famous Zebehr Pasha, of the central Soudan, whom Gordon smashed. After Zebehr’s defeat Rabeh marched off north- east with a force of Soudanese slave raiders and beeame one of the greatest potentates of the western Soudan. The Rabeh now counselled the sultan of Sokoto to cast off British allegiance and offered to assist him. The sultan therefore proclaimed a jehad among his states, but to his surprise and to that, it must be | confessed, of the British also, the states | preferred to stand by their treaties with Britain,and declined to rise. The sultan was afraid to attempt to force them to do so,and now, after looking about him and consider- ing his position, he has once more declared his allegiance to the British and been given his subsidy, which he before refused to accept. reasons why the Hausea States refused to rise agaipst the British was that the British expeditions, whether for military, explor- ing or commercial purposes, have always paid their way, while in the countri2s to the east, which are under the protection of the French, the latter have lived upon the ‘THE DAILY EXAMINER } room on the evening of the lreviewed the past History of *Pearly | Stream Division, ete. after which the fol] | owing programme was excellently carried lout refle:tng great credit on those taking | part.

To try to detail ia what particular each of the parties excelled in acting their parts, would be as vain as to paint the rainbow. The dialogue of Uncle Eph’s return, was fine. Too much cannot be said of the acting done by the amateur actors. Uncle Eph’s was ail :hat von could de~ sire, and when yonng Eph’s appeared, it fairly broke down the house. Singing Don’t leave the Farm, by C. Townshend and C. EcKee, was excellent, and the readings, recitations and stump speeches. were all well worthy cf special notice. One cf the pleasing features of the evening was to observe the unity prevading all classes mixed as unanimously as one large family circle, EXceLsior. A mirror could not lie it it wanted to.
