HAMILTON, Jan. 6, 1886. “Waapen LELAND, whom everybody knows as the successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cape iorn, in the early days of emigrativn to Cal- ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy- age, of an obstinate disease by the use of . . Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended AYER’S SARSAPARILLA in many similar eases, and he has never yet heard of its fail- ure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. .ELAND’s farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling er hump appeared-on the injured limb. Hor- rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor- mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter, No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELANn’s direc- tion, was supplied with AYER’s SARSAPA- RILLA, Which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. LeLAnr has personally used Ayer's Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forms of blood diseases. We have Mr. LELAND’Ss permission to invite all who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordimary curative powers of AYER’s SARSAPARILLA to see him person- ¢lly either at bis mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York. Mr. LELAND’s extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradicator of blood poisons enables him to give inquirers mitch valuable information. PREPARED BY Dr. J.C.

SCHURMAN, OF DALHOUSIE COLLEGE, APPOINTED A PROFESSOR IN CORNELL, | Iruaca, N. Y., January 6.—The execu- ‘tive committee of the trustees of Cornell university, at a meeting this afternoon, “appointed Dr. J. Schurman to the new ‘chair of ethics and philosophy, endowed in :memory of the wife of Henry W. Sage, with $50,000 cash and a new ten thousand ‘dollar house, to be built on the campus. ‘Dr. Schurman is at present professor of philusophy and ethics in Dalhousie College, Halifax, N. S. He was born in 1854, and gained his early education in Prince Edward Island. In 1875 he won the Gil- christ scholarship of $500 per year for three years at the London university examin- ations annually held in Canada; two years later he won the London University scholarship in logic and philosophy, and the Hume echolarship in political economy at University College. In 1875 he received the degree of doctor of science in mental and moral philesophy at the University of Edinburgh. He was then elected to the Hibbard travelling scholarship of $1,000 a | year for two years. He pursued his studies at the leading German universities, writing a volume on the ethics of evolution, which attracted much attention. He is a friend of leading philosophers in Europe, and is a man of impressive presence. President Adams regards the appoi tment as of great importance and promise, and Mr. Sage commends the appointee, Dr. Schurmap will begin with the new college year. ‘* Yes,” said Professor Schurman, when a Halifax Herald reporter showed him the above associated press despatch, ‘*‘ it is cor- rect. I shall resign my chair at Dalhovsic and accept the appointment at Cornell for it gives me a much larger sphere for useful work in my own department.” ** Are there any Canadians now connect- ed with the steff of the college ?” **Yos. Goldwin Smith is the lecturer on English constitutional history; and a Pictou man, George W. Harris, Ph. B., is the acting librarian. The late Prof. Hartt, a native of St. John, and an alumnus of Acadia, was for some years professor of natural ercionee in Cornell. He went to Brazil at the epecial request of the Emperor to explore that country at a $10,000 salary, and his chair was to be held ior him until his return. But the poor fellow died ont there.” HOW HE GOT THE APPOINTMENT. “Well, howdid you get this appoint- ment ?”” “It came asasurprise tome. I didn’t know the chair had been fonnded until last year, when tho Hon. Andrew D. White, then president of the university, wrote me to that effect, and asked if I would think favorably of accepting the position.” “Did you know White?” ‘Yes. I met him in Berlin when he was United States minister to Germany. He knew I had a professorship in these provinces from my work on ethics, which was in their university library.” ‘*And your reply was—?” ‘At his invitation I made a visit to Ithaca, and asa result of that visit and further correspondence, during the Christ- mas vacation [ held a final interview in New York, with C. K. Adams, who recently succeeded Mr. White in the presidency, and Hon. Henry Sage, chair- man of the board of governors, when the matter was finally settled.” THE SALARY AND THE WORE, ** The salary is—— ?”’ ‘*Three thousand dollars and the free use of a $10,000 house, to be built upon the college grounds this summer.” “What kind of work will you have there ?” ‘*My appointment is that of head of the philosophical department in Cornell Univer- sity; and I shell regulate all the classes in that subject. My own work will be as nearly the same as in Dalhousie this year, except that I am to have an assistant, to whom I may assign the elementary working of the classes, thus leaving myself free for advanced courses, and for such special stndies as I may be interested in. Here is an extract from President Adams’ letter : ‘Tho trustees, in accepting the gift, com- mitted themselves to the condition that al) needed assistance should be provided. 1 mention these facts in order to show that the spirit in which the chair has been founded, and the work is to be carried on, is a liberal-one, and that it gives promise of ample opportunity.” ‘*Wonld you have beer inclined to re. main here had consolidation taken place and Dalhousie become to the lower provin- cas what Toronto University is to the upper provinces ?” ‘‘T scarcely know what I should have done had consolidation been effected, But [am keenly sensible to the larger opportu- nities and greater facilities for carrving out the work of my life which Cornell offers.” CORNELL UNIVERSITY AND ITS WEALTH. ‘* Cornell is one of the richest and best equipped American universities. I don’t think it is surpaesed by any except Harvard and possibly Yale. It has a staff of between sixty and seventy professors, and its matriculating class this year, about 250, is, I believe, larger than that of any other on the continent with the exception of the two universities I have named, Cornell is enly seventeen years old ; but it is growing very rapidly, and its revenues. which last year aggregated nearly $250,000, are fast increasing. Cornell is the state university of the state of New York. Horsford’s Acid Phosphate, EXCELLENT RESULLITS. Dr. J. L.

The “Manly Art” at O'Leary. HARD CRACKS IN THE RING—A DRAWN BATTLE, Tur monotony of every day events at O'Leary Station was considerably relieved on Monday by a fierce pugilistio en- counter between two high spirited, if not prudent, young men who reside near that place. It seems, on New Year's Day, a slight quarrel took place between them, which they agreed to settle by an appeal to a once popular and perhaps net unsatisfactory mode of arranging personal disputes. One of the contestants, not being in fighting trim at the time, it was decided to meet at O'Leary on the following Mondey, at 3 o'clock, p. m., to square their differ- ences. The news of the coming battle spread quickly, and before the appointed hour at which the fight was to begin, a number cf sporting men and others had assembled apon the spot which the event of the dry has made memorable. Both contestants had enjoyed a widespread reputation for skill with the fists, and the opportunity of seeing it tested was too good a one to be missed. Prompt to time, the two pugiliste, sc- companied by their seconds, appeared on the scene of action. Aring was formed, and to keep the crowd back it was guarded by men armed with shillelahbs. The ex- citement among the crowd was intense, and though no heavy wagers were staked upon the result of the fight, yet it was evident that an exhibition cf what is known as the ‘‘manly art” eti'l possesses a strong attrac- tion for many. The men having ‘’stecked” their garmentsand made the necestary preparations for the contest, entered the ring, and after the fashion of great pugilists, shook hands, when the battle, which lasted over half an hour, began. In the first round both men began by acting on the defensive, and a good deel of pugilistie science was shown, several well earned blows being cleverly parried, but before time was cailed the bare knuckles had told a tale upon the faces of each. In the second round the men faced each other in a plucky spirit; heavy blows were given and taken, and several ‘* knocks down” occurred, In the third round some sharp cracks were exchanged, the heavier man getting more than his share. The lightweight now began to force the fighting, and before the round was finished got in some very effec- tive blows upon ihe face of his antago ist. in the fourth round « good deal of ‘‘slug- ging” was indulged in, resulting rather tavorably to the heavy weight, who landed acrusher on the neck of the light weight, cending him reeling around the ring, and causing many of his friends and admirers to fear it was a veritable ‘* knock ont,” But, through the courtesy of the seconds, time was given him to drink a glass of water (in the absence of anything stronger) which so revived him tuat he came gamely up to the scratch and finished the round, giving as good as he received, Before time was called for the fifth round, both men having ‘‘bellows to mend’ and being pretty well used up, with the congent of the seconds, agreed to a drawn battle. It is but just to say that the seconds (one being a brave Highlander and a worthy de- scendant of an illustrious clan) showed great coolness throughout the battle and succeed- ed in their determination to maintain the best of British fair play, no kicking or striking when down being allowed. The great prize fight many years ago be- tween Tom S:yers and Heenan wasone of international interest between England end America, though the result was not satis- factory as setiling the question of the championship. It may be said, too, the re- suit of the contest on Monday wes not alto- gether satisfactory to many of the sporting men of O'Leary, es some thought the fight should have gone on to the finish in order to avoid disputes and quarrels hereefter as to which of the two cap justly lay claim to the honor of being the champion pugilist of the West. In an article eutitled *‘ At Last,” in the January number of the North Amerwan R view, Mc. John Boyle O’Rielly thus sume up the actual prospects of the Nationalists : ‘* Liberal and Tory ia England may join io defeat the Irish strength, but it will be ouly for a year or two, It is clear now that another Cromwell must sweep Ireland with fire and sword, or that England must grant her constitutional demand for home govern- ment. The abominable selfishness which wonld destroy Ireland for Kngland’s sake, if now allowed to operate in another con- quest and disfranchisement, would assured- iy destroy England--and Englend is learn- ing the great lesson. Ireland is saved by the twenty million Irish-blonded Ameri- cans, by the five million Irish and their descendants in Enpgland, Scotlend and Wales ; by the vast numbers of Irieh sym- p thizers in Australia, New Zealond, Canada and other coun'ries. It would be highly dangerous to s'/aughter the kindred of such a pdople. It is not likely that Ireland will gain much from the coming Parliament. The Parliament cannot last long; it is tooevenly balanced. Besides, England has not realized that Heme Rule for Ireland is in- evitable. It will take three years to vaccinate her with the idea and allow it to ae In returning eighty-six members to Parliament, the Irish have not ended, but just began, their mational struggle. * + In 1889, 1 predict, the legislative stage of the Irish question will have arrived, and the union with England, which shall then have cursad Ireland for nine-tenths of a century, will be repealed.” Lo aa | The amount expended in extirpating the smallpox epidemic in Montreal is $118 000, | and it will take a further large sum to meet further engagements entered into.
