No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so agreeable to the taste, and so widely known, as this.

I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so well as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral which always gives prumpt relief in returns of my old com sfeint.” — Ernest A.

AN UNRELIABLE WITNESS Gives Sensational Evidence. PIGOTT ON THE STAND Lonpon, Feb. 22.—Before the Parnell Commission to-day Pigott ‘said the state- ments made by him to Archbishop Walsh were unfounded. He said there was very little truth in his statements. He was in very distressed circumstances when hoe wrote and stated that the genuineness of the Parnell letters was very doubtful. Pigott said he would not swear he had ‘not told Archbishop Walsh the Parnell letters were forgeries. He adwitted that he wrote lies to Archbishop Walsh and very little truth. The following sensational portion of Pigott’s evidence before the commission on Thursday did not come in the press re- port: ‘*When Pigott took the stand the court room and adjacent corridors were filled with people, and large crowds gather- ed in the street in front of the law courts. intense interest was manifested. Pigott being sworn, said he met Murphy casuaily in Paris. Murphy introduc- ed himself as formerly compositor in Pigott’s office. After several interviews Murphy agreed to find out where the Par- nell letters were. He ultimately told Pigott of a black bag containing the first batch of letters, and said he could have it for $500. Pigott returned to Dublin to obtain instructions, and went back to Paris with the money. In the meantime the Clan-na-Gael had claimed the letters. This difficulty was finally overcome, and the letters were delivered to Pigott, he swearing before the tribunal of tive men not to reveal the circumstances under which he had obtained them, or the names of persons from whom he had received them, and never to appear as a witness with reference to them. The letters were brought to Dublin and duly handed over tu Houston. The witness denied in a most svulemn and emphatic manner that he forged the letters. Mr. Pigott, continuing, said he bought the second batch of letters from Tom Brown and secured them after guing through the ceremony of taking the oath of secrecy be- fore the tribunal of five. The third batch of letters was bought of aman whose name was unknown to witness. The oath was taken as before and the price agreed upon paid in each case. He declared he never released Houston from the obligation of secrecy. Pigott acknowledged he made the statement which Mr. lewis, the distin- guished counsel, had taken down in writing and was now produced in court. In this siatemeut, witness declares his belief inthe genuineness of the Parnell letters. He wrote to Archbishop Walsh offering to ex- pose the whole conspiracy. The Arclhi- bishop refused to negotiate with him unless the name of the forger was divulged. The revelation produced an extraordinary sen- sation in the court and there was great ex- citement vutside when the news reached the street. The cross-examination fully confirmed the disclosures made by Pigott to-day. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, ee te Mr. Haslam’s Lecture. Sir,—In an eloquent passage in the ad- dress of the Benevolent Irish Society, of Emerald, presented to the Rev. Dr. Doyle, at the celebration of his silver jubilee, I noticed that allusion was made to the in- tellectual progress the society has made under the patronage of the Rev. gentlemen. In corroboration of this statement, refer- ence was made to the eloquent lectures and addresses delivered by able speakers before the Society. If we may judge of the merits of Mr. Haslam’s lecture, at Em- erald, from the eloquent extract from it in last night’s Examiner, the Irish So- ciety, there, may congratulate themselves on a further addition to the list of eloquent and patriotic addresses delivered under their auspices. Hisroricvus. Feby. 23, 1889. Dr. HeNeill’s Proposition. Sir,—I observe in Tus Examiner of yesterday 4 communication from Dr. Me- Neill, Stanley, New Londen. It will be seen, upon perusal of his letter, that the respected doctor, widely known as a man of high calibre, no Jess than of unimpeachable character, has succeded in placing the sub- ject in which he is interested very plainly and concisely before your readers. His argument is certainly worthy of considers- tion. We imagine it amounts to this: that if loss of means or personal injury be sus- sible one now in vogue. tained in performance of work for the Gov- ernment, etc., said Government ought to afford the plaintiff redress, and that by a more simple process than the almost impos- He cites the method pursued in several other countries ; and we agree with him in believing that our Government, superior to most others in propounding laws for the better accommo- dation of the people, would, if strongly urged, amend the law in respect to the mat- ter at issue. If honorable private individ- uals, pub'ic companies, and city corpora- tions recognize their rights to indemnify for loss sustained, surely our great and justly boasted Government will not shrink from the exercise of that righteousness which exalteth a uation.
