PARLIAMENT OPENIB,

And the British Government Enteri Upon Its Wo.-k-

The British par l iament assembled J a n . 27. The speech read from the throne ex­cited but l i t t le interest . The following are the salient points in the address:

England ' s foreign relatious are friendly. Affairs in southeastern Europe are in a fair way of settlement, bu t England must insist upon the observance of the t r ea ty in Berlin. In Burmah and Egypt there is a grat i fying improvement . Grave anxie ty is caused by the s ta te of affairs rn Ireland. The system adopted there of combining ot force tenants to evade jus t debts may compel further legislation and the govern­ment will no t bfesitate to ask additional powers if necessary. Tbe bills to ^ ^ s u b ­mi t ted by the government relate to land" transfer, ra i lway rates , t rade marks and the facil i tat ion of agr icul tura l allotments.

The speech is characterized by more than tJfae usual vagueness. The hints of legisla­t ion for Ireland are especially obscure. The only allusion to the conspiracy bill is

j found in the reference to the plan of cam-1 paign and the government ' s intention to

in t roduce if heces>ary a bill al tering the existing law so as to enable it to cope with-the movement . An indication of the ex­tension of the Ashbourne act is given in

\ the-expre sion of the hope tha t the labors j of the rent commission will have issue in

a measure to ameliorate the condition of the count ry . Tho lending measure for England uud Scotluud is a county govern­ment bill.

The most impor tan t event'of the day was Lord Randolph . Churchill 's speech giv-

_ ing his reasons for resigning the chancellorship of the exchequer. He said ho . re t i red because the gov­ernment ' s naval and military- est imates

\ exceeded £ HI, (XX), 000, wi thout counting the largo suppjpmentary estimates. He insist-

r"ed"on"having tlieue est imates reduced, bulfc his colleagues refused to cut them down.

• -""Although," added Lord Randolph, UI had

The .national legislative committee of the Knights of Labor has sent a letter . to the president calling his a t ten t ion t o the inter s tate commerce bill, and offering the following objections to i t : First the com­mission clause; second tho arb i t rary pow­er conferred upon the commission; third the exclusive ju r i sd ic t ion given to the federal courts to hear and determine causes Arising under the ac t ; fourth, the acknowledged uncer ta in ty as to the mean­ing of nearly all of the provi>ions of the measure. In behalf of 5,000,000 oonstitu-tenta, the committee ask t h e president to veto the bill. >

A subject of much interest t o therfadles was before the senate the other day, viz: the proposed woman suffrage constitu­tional amendment . The proposed amend­ment reads as follows: "The right of citi-sens-of the United Sttftes to vote shall not be denied or abrWged_bx.tiie_Un.it.ed_ States^ or fcy any s ta te on account of sex. Con­gress shall have power by appropr ia te legislation to enforce the provisions of this ar t ic le ." Senators Brown-and* Vest s trenuously opposed the measure, while Senators Dolph and Blair were equally as much in its favor. The amendment was defeated, however, by a vote of 18 to 84.

A bill is before the senate to amend the oleomargarine act. The proposed amend ment reduces the annal t ax on wholesale deatenrrn ohjonrnrgitrine from $180 to fHK> and the license tax on retail dealers from $48 to $L2.per annum. The licenlo tax on manufacturers of oleomargarine is left unchanged. Senator Be?k. the author of the amendment, is confident i t will be pa-sed, and that , too, with very little op­position.

™ *

• The number of candidates for places on the inter-state commerce commission is surprising. The bill has not yet been sent to the president, and yet the names of those who are confident tha t they are tho ones whose appoin tment will insure tho successful workings of the bill, is legion.

There has been no correspondence be­tween this count ry and Nicaragua relative to the construction of a ship canal since 1885, but within the past few days intelli-

Sence has been received t h a t a content ion as been signed between Nicaragua and

Costa Rica for the arbi t ra t ion of their boundary dispute by the president of the United ^.States. The convention only awai t s ratification and exchange to be a fuu and-t inal disposition of the queNtlon of jurijHUition over a p a r t of tbe^ropoaed canal route.

been urg ng economy ever since August ." Lord Rundolph then referred to the gov­e rnment ' s foreign policy, mid declared, amidUoud opposition cheers: "I also ob-jecte<f\to the g o v e r n m e n t s policy of need­less interference in the affair* of o ther natons.1 '

He could not, he felt, retain his place in the government . When he found his col­leagues refused to t ry to retrench. "The policy of this coun t ry , " ho said, ' should be peaceful every where. Tho government ' s estimates were too grea t for a t ime of" peace. It has been said I resigned in haste. The fact is, there were difficulties between myself and my colleagues in the cabinet almost from the beginning of the present government . As I did no-t-desiro-to remain wrungling in the cabinet, Jr'a-.ked to be al­lowed to re t i re unless the government ex-!senses were reduced within absolute peace imi t s . "

Gladstone delivered an eulogy on Earl Iddesleigh, whom he said ho had the honor to in t roduce into public iLe. Ho said the sent iments of sorrow for the. earl 's death were universal and based-on tho sterl ing meri ts of tho man.

Mr. Gladstone applauded what he called Lord Randolph Churchill 's sacrifices in behalf of a sound economic policy. He (Gladstone) found no fault with the gov­ernment ' s foreign policy. He strongly objected to tho severance of the t reasury portfolio from the 'premiership, the form-

s necure. He also ob-atT6h"6'fTn"e offices of

premier and foreign secretary, which lpade one man responsible for tho diction of momentous foreign dispatches. He hoped the. count ry would oppose anv oppression of Bulgaria by a for­eign power. Referring to the Canadian fisheries question he suid he trusted t h a t the papers on the subject would speedily be presented to the house. He was ready to bet.ten. to one. though i t was hardly-likely tha t the wager would bo accepted. t ha t the local government question would not be settlod this session. Tha

Sovernraent, he said, also proposedv,to eal wi th criminals in Irebmd, although

they tried to raako it sound better by using tho te rm ' 'p rocedure ." It was grati­fying, ho continued, to hear t ha t erimo was ra re r in Ireland but in regard to the allusion to the inciting of teiinnts against la/idlords ho t r ea t ly lamented the facttthnt the queen bad not expressed regret at» the recent lamentable evictions in Kerry] In conclusion Mr. Glacjajtono said he hijped the sanguine expecta t ioas of the speech would be fulfilled

The Michigan Central have made a proposition to the people, as they agreed to, on the Dexter & Mason cut-off, which was surveyed in their interest two years ago by B. F. Lane. The line from Dexter to Mason is 35 miles, and according to the engineer's estimates, which the proposition is based upon, the Central asks the people to expend in material and construction, in round numbers, $180,000. The engineer's estimates are considered high on mov­ing the earthwork, which is 30 cents a yard. The people held meetings along this line previous to the survey a n ^ -made the following pledges to the M, C.R.

A'peculiar black paper, made from the bark of certain trees, serves the purpose of slates in Sjamand Barman, the writing being erase by means of betel Isavea instead of with a sponge.

German experiments have bhown that cast-iron pillars remain nearly upright and sustain their load in the hottest fire, while those ot wrought iron bend to such a degree as to be valueless as supports.

in track-laying, a mistake of the earlv engineers was the use of stone sleepers, making a road so ri?i«j toat rails were often broken. Steel has superseded iron for rails, at a present cost of only half that, of the iron rails in 1870, while the durability is about three times as great. »

The advisability of testing as fosrfrry weather signals sudden flashes—such as thrfse of gunpowder—has been suggest­ed to the British lighthouse authorities by Lord Rayleigh and Prot. Stokes, who think the flashes might attract at­tention where an equal fixed light might escape notice.

An attempt to infuse new vigor into the degenerating potato by crossing the cultivated varieties with the wild plant has been for two or three seasons in progress at Reading, Enj?., and has proven very successful fchus far. Tbes

hybrid plants produce a good yield of tubers of excellent form and quality.

LANCET PROSPECTS.—That surgery has reached the stage where no furth­er* advance need be expected was re-(rently expressed as the opinion of Dr. Erichsen, a -distinguished British surgeon.. On the other hand, Sir \V. Stokes, President of the College of Surgeons in Ireland, anticipates a great future development of antiseptic sur­gery, declares brain surgery to be yet in its infancy, and believes it quite probable tbat in time diseased lungs may be found amenable to surgical treatment.

MEDIEVAL SCIENCE.—IU their search tor the philosopher's &tbne, the old alchemists left untried no mixture of familiar or unfamiliar ingredients. Au anciejlt work, entitled "Toe (iold Maker's Guide," furnished this promis­ing formula; "Take of the gall ofa black tomcat, killed when toe night approaoheth, OIIH part of the brains of a nvght owl, taken from out its head wu.rju the mo;n ng.dawneth. rive parts: mix in the hoot of an HSS wh»n the tid'j turneth; le;tve it ti;l it doth breed maggot*; place it on thy b^enst-bone when the moon- shmeth bright-and-thou wiltsee a sight which the eye of \ mortal miin ne'er beheld afore." ;

I A JnptTKH Rpp-HoT?—A memberoil

C rrsf oondetice New York Times. U. Hdmricb, the successor of tat Uf

tie Henri B«vn«on,avs headsman of P|UN is in 1847 was a u*n six ieet in bight, with a dear, cold blue eye, ieatures, «va*i the itumoefs *%sd CAT* riage ol a perfect gentleman, his whole be&rlng bavmg the appearance of K hali-pay officer. M. Heiadrich alwevys "operated" in evening drees and m white cravat, and after each execution went to the church of St. Ambroise/ where he ordered a mass to be said for the repose of the soul of the vic­tim, which over, he took a bath and then breakfasted. Heindrich had an imperative voice and a strong hand. When he topk hold of his man he nev­er met <with any resistance, and it is told of him that when' Ver­ger was called and on a hundred pre* texts sought .to postpone the fatal mo­ment, Heindrich simply walked into the cell, looked fixedly at him, and said. "Eh bien, Verger," and the oth­er shuddered, rose and followed. Heindrich died on the Good Friday o! 1872, at the age of 70, after exercising lor 50 years his profession, and was succeeded by his aide, Boch, who wa* hie antithesis, being as jocose and bonbomme as the other was reserved and solemn. Roeh was a tall, power' ful man.with a placid face,gray whisk' era, and gold earrings, looking on ex­ecution days, in his black frock coat* opened to show his cable-like watch chain, as if he were a workman in Sunday clothes. You always expect­ed to hear him sing "Le Petit Eben-iste," or some such ditty ffbpular with his class. His bon mots were prover­bial, but they were not in very

.good taste, as for example: "Come, my lad, be of courage; no one wants to hurt you," and, when Albert pro-

f>osed to address a speech to the pub' ic. "Bah! Fit abridge it!" but they

delighted the jailers and gave copy to the newspapers. He took part in 173 executions. ^ His hobby was his

Sillotine, which he called his bijou, e rubbed it bright, furbished the

blade, wiped off with his pocket hand­kerchief every grain of dust and speck of mud, and having heard of the "sin* ister noise" made by the knife in fall-ing,AArranqed india-rubber linings for the grooves, and in order to save thtj, "patient" from the sensation produc­ed by: the sight of the knife, concealed it with a screen. Roch was married and the father of eight children, whom he adqred; and when he "functioned" in the provinces, his first act after the operation was to dispatch a telegram— to his family, telling how the "affair had been conducted," and if there / had been "a good attendance." He died in 1870 ol apoplexy, at theage of 60. The pres­ent incumbent, M. Deibler, an ex-cab­inet-maker - ot Dijon, entered upon his career as an amateur and iron* Tamour de 1'art in 1885. M Deibler married-ay daughter of his colleague

the Royal Society of lasmania finds that, a» compared with Mars, Jupiter s' surtace brigline>s is twenty-two times j as great as it ought to be if all its i light is reflected sunshine; and as coin-; pared witb the moon, about thirteen} times. Tiiat the brilliancy was re-"j markable has long been kuown, and , the theory of this observer, that the giant planet ot our system has not yet so cooled as to cease to be self-lumin­ous, is by no mean? new.

An almost incred­ible ecouomy of fuel has been effected.! About tifty years ago, for instance,' one railway line consumed 12,600 tons per anuum, while a few years later 3,

100 tons sufficed for a considerably greater traffic. The tractive power has been increased fivefold, and nil gradients up to 1 in 20 are now read­ily surmounted. Ordinary speeds | have considerably .ncreased yet express

i and special trains run but little faster. I

Introduct ions . The English custom of introduc­

tions, which can be briefly and ac­curately defined as not introducing at all,_U graphically indicated by an in­cident related by Mr. Edwin^TCowTes, the editor of the Cleveland Leader, who, in a letter from London to his paper,4ays:

In crossing, I became^uite well ac­quainted with an Engrnm gentleman, and when we arrived at Queenstown* we took the cars together forlxmdon, crossing the channel from Dublin. He g ave me his card and tendered me a very earnest invitation to call upon him at his place of business. When we arrived at London he wa* met atv the depot by bis wife.

After our greeting was over, I natur­ally expected that our eighteen days' acquaintance on the ocean, his know­ing who I was, and his having invited me to call at his place of business would entitle me to an introduction to his wife. But he did not do so, and I considered it an oversight, and thought nothing of it. When I sailed at his place of business I was most cordially received by him, and had a pleasant visit of over hall an hour; his "brother and partner conversed wirh me during that time, and I was never introduced to either of them. I afterward mentioned this apparent want of politeness to an American friend, an ex-naval officer, who had lived in England for a number of months. He replied that the English never introduce. "Why," said he, "I have attended dinners at one of th« navy clubs, and 1 was never intro­duced to a soul.'r This was a revela­tion to me, and it accounted for th« seeming neglect of my steamer friend for not introdncing me to hts wife* brother And partoer.

STATE NEW& Michigan Waterways.

The report of tbe board of engineers up­on the relation to commerce of the two lmportaut waterways known»s the Port­age lake and river improvement company canal and the Lake Superior ship canal, railway and iron company canal, has been sent to the hou»o by the secretary of war. The examination wan required by tbe laal river and harbor bill. Items for the im­provement and acquisition by the govern­ment of this canal, as well an the Sturgeon bay canal, were included in that bill, but were stricken out in conference and exam­ination* ordered by way of compromise. The board recommends: __

1. That the offer of the companies be ac- j cepted to transfer all right and title to the ' canal, the wprks of improvement on tbe Portage riv^r, the harbor works upon I Lake Superior and Keweenaw bay, with I all lands and franchises connected there­with, free from all incumbrances, and in­volving no other payments for bonds or Otherwise whatsoever for tbe gross sum of $850,000.

2. That the route 1« made a free water­way of the United States subject to no tolls or assessments whatever. In the opinion of the board the price asked U reasonable and the companies are willyyj to yield to the popular demand for a free waterway as soon as they are protected from actual loss themselves.

The board calls attention to existing ob­structions in the route and submits esti­mates for a navigable depth of sixteen feet with a minimum width of seventy-five feet; also estimates for enlarged ana safe entrances from Keweenaw bay and from the lake.

The estimates are as follows: For ex­tinguishing private titles $3:0,000; for opening the route $22.1,000; for entrance from Lake Superior $>50,000; for entrance from Keeweenaw bay $320,000—aggregate $1,645,000. When the needs of commerce require a depth of 35 feet an additional expenditure of *T30,OJO will be required.

A similar report from the engineer board upon the Sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan ship canal, connecting the

. waters of Green Bay with Lake Michigan was also submitted to the house. In this report the chief of engineers says: A s a result of a most careful and impartial ex­amination of all the matters relating to the subject the board concludes: It the barrier between Green bay and Lake Michigan were now in its natural condi­tion, the construction of a canal between them on or near the line of the existing Canal would be a proper work to be done bv the United States, but the United States should not be made responsible for an insufficient canal encumbered with a heavy lien; results due to an ineiticient agency not contemplated by the original Set of congress.

2. That the grant of land to the state of Wisconsin vra* sufficient to have built the «anal. and should the'United States as­sume control no payment will be due for its construction and maintenance. _ ^

3. That owing to its inadequate depth the existing canal has only restricted im­portance.

4. That the canal is not a harbor of refuge in any proper sense.

5., That Sturgeon bay is the true har­bor of refuge, and to make it available it should be improved.

6. That the conversion of the bay into. a harbor of refuge accesible through the Sturgeon bay canal may be regarded as a public necessity.

7. Whether the government assumes control of the canal or not, the tolls should not exceed actual cost of operation

, and maintenance. ~ i... r

Resume of .legislative Proceedings Other Heyvs from tot ItatsCapiieL

LANSINO, Jan'y 81, '87. The event* of the week in Lansing were

the seating of John Kairden as senator from the nrxt senatorial district and the

f iassage of the constitutional amendment n the senate by the necessary two-thirds

vote .submitting the question of prohibition to tbe people a t the spring election. The contest is now changed from the legisla­ture to tbe people, as the governor has ap­proved the joint resolution. .,

Nothing else of importance has transpir­ed. Henry Chamberlain's protest again-t Gov. Luce acting as governor because of his being a member of the board of agri­culture made only a passing ripple on the current of events. But tbe report of the

Judiciary committee to whom it was re-erred left no doubt among the fair minded

that as soon as Mrs. Luce took the oath of office as governor of Michigan his position in the state board of agriculture -became vacant.

I All after the enacting clause has been stricken out of the bill to grunt teachers'

tad certificates to graduate* of the Michigan uuivereity.

Amoug the bills introduced in the sen­ate is one to provide for indeterminate sentences and disposition of criminals under such suutwnce.

+ A joint resolution was passed in commit­

tee of the whole in the house calling for a constitutional amendment requiring that after tbe year l'JOO one must know how to read and write in the English language be­fore he can vote. An exception is made In the case of one who i-> blind or armless, or has some other physical disability mak­ing it impossible for him to read or write. It it passes, as it ought to, it wilt probably be submitted at the geuural election in November.

The bill prohibiting the employment of Pinkerton detectives as deputy sheriffs passed the house without a dissenting vote, but the one asking for the repeal of what is known as the Baker conspiracy law met a snag in the shape of a petition from Mr. F. A. Buker, its author in the session of 1877, that caused the friends of the bill to repeal to lay it over until such time as a complete canvass of the house demonstrated the certainty of its "passage.

The bill for purity of elections was in­troduced by a representative from De­troit, and may be so amended as to apply only to that city. . The recent re counts there, have shown that if one thing is needed more than unotber it is some method whereby the honest desires of duly qualified electors can be expressed with­out fear or fraud. The provisions of the bill now pending calls for a system very similar to that which now prevails in Franc j and Canada.

The legislature will take a recess of 13 days, from February 3 to February 15. On the afternoon of the 3rd the entire body will proceed to Ann Arbor, arriving there at supper time and remaining all night, being entertained at the home-s of the lead­ing citizens. Friday they will inspect the-different departments of the university, and Friday evening go to Detroit, as guests of ex Gov.s Alger, to attend the re­ception given to Gov. Luce.

SenatorMontoe has in preparation a bill to give to women qualified as citizens the right to vote at township, village or city elections for all municipal officers. The measure is advocated by the woman's suffrage association of the state. The a-sociation is now engaged in organ­izing in all the cities and villages of Michi­gan, and some formidable petitions are expected.

The hottse has recommitted the bill, ..per­mitting suldiers' wives to enter th*f state soldier*' home, wheu married prior to 1862. An amendment was unanimously parsed limiting the act to wive* married prior to 1&08. Mr. Baker urged that the, noma was already overflowing with soldiers; that it was built on the dormitory plan and there was no accommodations Tor women. If the bill passed more build­ings would be required. The matter was deferred till the committee can visit the home and ascertain if women can be accom­modated.

A delegation of good men and women who waut the "age of consent" in females raised to 18 years appeared before tbe judiciary committees of the senate and house the other morning. Dr. L. Anna Ballard of Lansing, representing the state department of sooial purity, opened the discussion by reading a carefully prepared paper in which she took strong grounds that the limit should not bo fixed at 14 or 10, but should be placed as high as 18 years. Mrs. Rachel Bailey of Hastings, represena-tive of the state board of the W. C. T. U., Mesdames Ketchum and Elizabeth Eagles? field of. Grand Rapids, and one or two other ladles, followed in chort addresses, while Bishop Gillespie of. Grand Rapids and the Rev. M. M. Callan of Lansing also spoke iu support ot the same proposition. Other ladies of the delegation were Mes­dames J. B. Porter and S. V. Emery of Lansing and Hodges of Grand Rapids. Notwithstanding the efforts of these earnest people it seems wholly improbable that the present legislature will raise the age of consent above fourteen years, which will bo four years higher thun it now ia.

A memorial has also been received by the house from the association of prose­cuting attorneys asking that the statutes relating to the age of .consent be amended and the age ba fixed at 11 years.

The bill providing for an additional jus­tice of the supreme court has been favor­ably reported, to the senate, and it seems practically certain that the measure will be passed.

Ovsr 40,000 'Longshoremen Quit Work. Twenty thousand men are now on strike

among tho coal shovelers, 'longshoremen, freight handlers and men employed on tbe river front in New York in almost every capacity, and the number is aug­mented to close on 40,000 by the strikers on the Brooklyn and Jersey shores. In con­sequence it is almost impossible for any of the steamers for Europe or otherwise to leave port. The order went forth Jan. 27 from the headquarters of the 'longshore­men's union, which was backed by tha knights of labor assembly No. 49, and the next morning the men turned out. Beach-walkers were sent out to cover all the various points on the river fnonts where the trouble was concentrated, and they had particular instructions to use every means to prevent any disturbance.

The strike along the river front of Brooklyn went into effect the same morn­ing. All tbe men went out quietly Jieaceably and determinedly. The reight has accumulated on the docks

ready for shipment, while several vessels are waiting to discharge cargoes. The po­lice say they do not expect any trouble with the stnkors. They are on guard at all the stores from Fulton Ferry to Red Hook. Later in the day the authorities saw fit as a double precautionary measure to have the entire police force held in re­serve so as . to be ready to meet any out­break.

On the evening of January 27, the strik­ing 'longshoremen and coul shovelers held a large mass meetiug in Cooper union, preceded by a parade, with about 15,000 men in line. There was no disorder. When the parade arrived at Cooper union they •were unable to gain admission, as the hall was packed. An outdoor meeting was organized 'and addressed by John McCaf­frey and J. R. McKegne5T, who congratu­lated the men on their prospects or suc­cess and promised that other trades would ioin them if nece-sary. Inside the large hall were packed lully 4.0. 0 people. A large detachment of police kept order.

Hugh Greenan .was chosen chairman. He said in his address that they were there to discover which power ruled this coun­try—-the power of the government or. power of corporations.

Victor Drury was nnuounced as the/next speaker. He is said to be the founder of tne home club and is a leading member of district 49 K. of L. He compared the coal baroirs with medieval barons J who em­ployed -desparadoes to do their bidding, the cutting of a throat to the scuttling of a ship. He said in like manner to-day .the coal barons, railroad kings aud standard oil monopolists are willing to slay through Pinkerton's thugsr-

Resolutions were adopted to the effect that in view of the alleged oppression of workingmen by the coal laborers, all granted frauchises should be repealed and the system of hiring .men for tne purpose of robbery and murder is hereby con­demned.

A bill has been prepared to increase the force in the railroad commissioner's office. It provides for an additional clerk at $1,200 a year, and for an official to be known as tho Mechanical Engineer, who is to receive a salary of $1,600 a year, and who is to oxamine th~ equipment of rail­roads, their tracks, switches, cars, etc., and report the result' of his inspection, with recommendations, to his chief for such action as he may think proper.

THE PARTNER.

L

Mr. T h o m a s Mathers was ortly a -ledear clerk in the banking firm of Hodgson, Duuford, and P u r r , St. Bwithin's L a n e , L o m b a r d Street. I t was neither a very responsible n o r a very lucrat ive posi t ion, and T o m m y (as all his friends called him) longed, a s perhaps fifty t h o u s a n d young men in a similar s i t ua t i on in London a r a longing a t th is moment , for a chance of tu rn inghis b ra ins t o be t ter a ccoun t t h a n adding up columns of figures and copying ent r ies from one big book in­t o another . The chance did not come, b u t T o m m y did n o t despair ; and there was this difference between him and the grea t major i ty of his fellow-prisoners of t h e desk—he had the pluck t o work away manfully a t what ­ever he though t might possibly some d a y help him t o be t t e r his posi­t ion, even though h e , could n o t see exactly how i t was t o bo done. Wi th this end in view he got upFrerxeh, Ger­m a n , and I ta l i an ; and he did every­thing he could t o pick up informat ion a s to the financial c ircumstances of the cus tomers of the bank . Hesc raped acqua in tance with every clerk em­ployed by those who had accounts a t t h e bank, a s far as he possibly could, and picked up in t ime an idea, more o r less accurate,"as to the commercial s t a t u s of mos t ot them.

Otte day he happened t o ' b e a t lunch in his favori te r e s t a u r a n t , when an acqua in tance named Darling came in and s a t down beetle him. After a lit­t le casual-conversat ion, Darling asked him to let hTnr-k/now of any v a c a n t Clerkship he might &ear of.

'•I will, certainly, ^rjrtLfellow,'' re­tu rned T o m m y ; " b u t I nope you

^havn ' t cot in to a row with Applet* (Frederick Appleton was Darling's brother-in-law, and he was also the secretary of the Mudford and C o u n t y ^ Chemical Company, in whose count- l \ ing-house young Darling had a subor­d ina te pos t . ) __>-•

"Oh, no, nothirig_jof the k ind ," re­turned Darling; ifyd then he changed the subject. , ^ ^

On his way back to~tlie bank after lunch, Mathers asked himself why Darling should leaveUis present s i tua­t ion . He had i\ capi ta l prospect there —his. brother-in-law being the secre­t a r y ; aud there was no disagreement between him and his influential rela­t ive. Could it be t h a t Darling had had a h in t from his brother-in-law t h a t the Chemical Company was get­ting into shallow water , and t h a t it behoved him to be looking out for an o the r - s i tua t ion? I t s e e medimorertTTanlTi'i h t tha t - t lo l i ad re t u r n ed t o En el an d, likely; and young Mathers determhied-t o act a t once. He shj^pyd-ifffo the b a n k par lo r t h a t - a f t e n r o o n , hoping

, to j i rudthVj i in ior pa r tne r , Mr. P a r r , a ' g o o d - n a t u r e d so r t o f .man, who was

n o t likely t o snub him for volunteering informat ion. T o h i sd i s appo in tmen t , he found only Mr. Hodgson, a sonr-

^tempered old man , who was struggling i n to his overcoat , p r e p a r a t o r y *to leaving the office for the day .

" W d l , " growled the banker, " w h a t d o you w a n t ? "

T o m m y was on the point of saying t h a t he had come t o speak t o Mr. P a r r , but in a moment he changed his mind.

-.-'liieard- something to»day—sigy'l -ha replied, " t h a t made me thing t h a t t h e Mudford Company a r e n o t in a very good way . "

"Well, wha t of that?; w h a t ' s t h a t t o me?"

"Nothing, sir; only I thought there was no h a r m in letting you know."

"Anything of t h a t kind you can say tO"Mr. P a r k i n s o n , " answered the old gentleman as he seized his umbrel la a n d waddled down the passage.

T o m m y felt snubbed; but hr did n o t mind t h a t much. He had done w h a t he wanted b rough t himself under the

f ersonal notice of one of the pa r tne r s , f he had given the hint to Pa rk inson ,

the head cashier, Pa rk inson , n o t he, Id have all tlie credit ot it . H e r o

tiirt-ctHo his place among the o the r fclerks a r t i c le sore a t the rebuff, ye t n o t ent ire!y$i§sat isf ied.

On his way h o m e Mr. Hodgson re­e n t e r e d t h a t the k a n k held some

ha res of the Mudford Chemical Com­p a n y a s securi ty for the balance of the account of one of their cusun^e r s who was deemed r a t h e r shaky . Nex< morning, accordingly, he called Tom­my into his r o o m and quest ioned him a s t o the n a t u r e of his informat ion.

" P e r h a p s you will excuse ray enter­ing in to tf iat s i r , " said T o m m y , with the u t m o s t coolness.

Mr. Hodgson.dismissed Mathe r s t o h i s - f o r k with a dissatisfied grunt a n d a j v a v e of his hand , and immediately se t tcMvork t o have the shares of t h e M u d f o r d C o m p a n y exchanged for o the r securities.

Tommy, who managed t o know m o s t of wha t happened a t the bank , no ted the fact and rejoiced.

Within six weeks the shareholders of the Mudford Chemical Company met and resolved t o go in to liquida­tion; and, though Mr. Hodgson did no t th ink it wor th while t o t h a n k the junior clerk for the information he had given, T o m m y was perfectly satisfied. He knew t h a c people d o no t forget things which save their pockets .

It happened t h a t , some mon ths alt­er tlie incident of the Munford Chem­ical Company, Messrs. Hodgson had i m p o r t a n t business to t r a n s a c t in Turin, and it was thought advisable t h a t t he senior p a r t n e r should pro­ceed t o t h a t city t o look after i t . There was some idea, if the prospect seemed favorable, or s t a r t i n g a b r a n c h house there. The quest ion then arose , which of the clerks should accompany the head of t h e firm as his secretary; and Mr. Hodgson, mindful of the service which Mathers b a d rendered him, consulted the' head-cashier on the propr ie ty of t he selection. Pa rk ­inson, it happened, had a favorite of his own, a n d T o m m y would have lost his o p p o r t u n i t y if he had n o t re­membered t h a t a t One t ime, when i i e was bent on acquiring foreign tongues, he had spent his evenings for a few m o n t h s over an Italiam*«grammar, He contrived to let th is fact be known, a n d in due t ime Mr. P a r r informed his senior p a r t n e r t h a t "i t seemed t h a t young Mathers knew something of the language."

Thi3 decided the poin t . T o m m y re­ceived his orders , and in three d a y s more found himself on boa rd t h e Do­ver and. Calais packet , in charge of a large d ispac th box and Mr. Hodgson 's bulky p o r t m a n t e a u s . The journey was by no means a comfortable one, for t he young man found t h a t he was expected t o t ravel second-class, and generally act a s courier t o his employer. When a t last Tur in was reached, things were no bet ter . Mathers found t h a t his I t a l i an went bu t a very little way; and, besides, he h a d to do the work of three clerks. Sometimes he was t empt ­ed t o regret t h a t he had left his com­fortable-rooms in Tor r ing ton Square , Bloomsbury; bu t in his calmer mo­ments he reflected t h a t a t least he was occupying a different posi t ion from t h a t of the rest of his fellow :clerks.

The chief man in Turin , so far a s Hodgson, Dunford, and P a r r ^ were concerned, was a cer tain Count Mat-soni. The Count ' s nobil i ty did no t prevent his being the principal mem-, ber of a large firm of merchan t s a n d shipowners. To cul t ivate ' this m a n was, indeed, the chief reason of Mr. Hodgson/s journey t o Tur in ; and , a s theTJld 'banker knew very well bow t o lay aside his crusty and p o m p o u s manne r when it sui ted his book t o do o^he soon came t o be a not unfre-

quemVguest a t the Villa Marsoni . Mr. Hodgapn began t o see t h a t there as a~very fair^xpening for an English

T)eliih(TTrim.1b complete a t r a n s a c t i b 11 which he had a l ready pract ical ly ar­ranged.

Delighted a t being left t o represent the firm, for ever so shor t a time, and ever so formal a mat te r ,^ Mathers was pacing down the principal s t reet of t h a t gr§at city with a look of con­siderable impor tance on his face when he met Count Marsoni . The C o u n t s topped and asked afterj theoid b a n k ­er, when Tqniiny "proudly informed

Moreas a m a t t e r of form t h a n a n y thing else, for he know his case was hopeless, Ma the r s formally ^ s k e d the hand of t he s ignor inain marr iage, lay­ing the b lame of his irregular declara­t ion on the s t rength of his passion and ignorance of I ta l ian et jquet te .

T h e Count heard Turn t o t h e e n d . a n d then surveyed him from nea4 t o loot with a look of contempt .

" I t is a piece of gross p resumpt ion in you—a mere clerk, a nobody—to address ray .daughter ," said the Count a t last in English, with his chin; in the air .

"Of course ," said Tommy bi t ter ly , s tung by the Count ' s look, "If I were a p a r t n e r in Hodgson 's , though, you would give me a different answer ."

"If you were a pa r tne r in Messrs. Hodgson, Dunford and P a r r ' s , " said the Count, with an altered expression, " t h a t would m a k e a difference of course; bu t a s J do no t unders tand t h a t you have any prospect of enter­ing t h a t firm, I don t see how t h a t af­fects y o u . "

T o m m y sighed, and made his es­cape as soon as possible. He knew t h a t he might as well ask for t he Lord Chancellorship as ask for a par tner ­ship in the bank .

l a p two d a y s he remained in a s t a t e oi ^ l l a p s e a n d then he received ad­vices froyft Jbondon -informing him of the decision t o which the firm had come with respect t o the new branch . A few m o n t h s before Mathers would have been t r a n s p o r t e d with "delight a t the p roposa l which the firm .made t o him; bu t now he considered t h a t he was getting bare ly his due, a n d be­sides, he was so cut up with respect t o t he beautiful Mar ia t h a t mere com­mercial m a t t e r s did no t possess their usual interest for him.

Suddenly, a s he s a t with t h e open le t ter bearing the well-known s ignature before him, T o m m y conceived a n idea.

"Hellow, sir!" cried Mr. Hodgson, as he caught sight of the young man. " W h a t , are you doing here? Anything wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong t h a t I know of, s i r ," said the young man, coolly.

"Then why are -you here wi thout leave?" asked the juuior pa r tne r . "Didn ' t you get our letter informing you of our new a r rangements?"

" I did, Mr. F a r r . It is in conse-''qfience of thatvle t ter t h a t I am here." This was said with considerable grav­i ty , and T o m m y helped himsell t o a chair as he spoke. " I am afraid, sir ," he-continued, " t h a t I cannot accept the s i tua t ion you were good, enough to ofTer me a t Tur in . "

"Don ' t then!" ' burs t out old Mr. ^ " ^ H o d ^ s o n , in great w r a t h - a t the tone iers ; which the young man was assumiilg.

Time went on; Mr. Hodgson did n o t re turn to Tur in , and Mr,. Mather ' s paid several visits t o the coun t ' s residence, coming away more in love every t ime.

WM. ED. ROBSON, M. D., L. R. C. 8. I.. M. K. Q. C. Y. I., late of the Royal Navy of England, ban got into professional trouble for writing the following open letter to the editor of the London Family Doctor;

''I believe it to be tho duty of every .phyxician to make known ah5^,meant* or remedy whereby Mckne»s can "M prevent­ed, and it is for this purpose J write to five my experience both here a, d abroad,

ask the publication of the statement that people may be warned before it is too late, to Hay to them that there in at band a means by which they may restored to per­fect health/ It is Well known to the,medi­cal world, and indeed, to the iuity, that a certain disease is making a terrible havoc; that next to consumption it is the most fatal, and that when fully developed there is nothing to be done for the sufferer."

"^hyHiciaus and scientists have long been trying to throw li^ht upon the cause, and if possible, find in nature a medicine for this fatal malady. They have shown, absolutely,tbat^he blood-purifying organs of vityal importance, are the kidneys, arid that when thoy once fail, the poison which they should take out of the blood is carried by the blood into every part of the body, developing disease."

"In my hospital practice in England, India and (South America, and also while a surgeon in the Royal Navy of Great Brit­ain, J gave a great deal of attention to tho study of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organsand found that not only was the cure , of chronic Bright's Disease hopeless, but that kidney disease was remarkably prevalent: much more so than generally known, and was the cau-e of the majority of cases of sickness, and further, that the medical pro­fession has no remedy which exerts any absolute control over these organs in dis­ease." >.

"Some time ago w hen I had a case which l

re-isted all regular treatment,—which is very limited,—complicated with the pass­ing of stones from the kidneys, much against my will I permitted my patient to use Warner's safe cure, of which J had heard marvelous results. In his caste the result W£s simply marvelous, as the attack was a severe one, and development very grave, for an analysis showed per cent, of albumen and granular tube ca*sts."

"The action of the medicine was singular and incomprehensible to me. I had never seen anything like it. The patient recov­ered promptly, and is to-day a well and healthy man. This stimulated my inquiry into the merits of the remedy, and after analysis I .found it to be of purely vegeta­ble character, harmless to take under all circumstances."

''Casting aside all professional prejudice I gave it a thorough trial.asl was anxious that my patients should be restored to health, iio matter by what medicine. I prescribed it in a great variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's Disease, Conges­tion of-the Kidneys, Catarrh of the Blad­der, and in every instance did it speedily effect a cure." '

"For this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this statement regard­ing the value .of Warner's safe cure. J make this statement 'on facts I am pre­pared to produce and substantiate. l a p , peal to physicians of large practice who know how common and deceptive diseases of tho kirlneys are, to lay aside profession­al prejudice, give their patients Warner,'s sate cure, restore them to perfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus be true physicians."

" l am satisfied that more than one-half of ^hedoaths whiah occur in England are causal?primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, and the consequent retention in thpyhlnbd of the poisonous uric and kid­ney acid. Warner's safe cure causes the kidneys to expel this poison, checks the escape of alrnimen, relieves the inflamma­tion ' and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having hn'd more than sevenfe-en years' experience in myprofession. I conscientiously and em-phkticnliy state that 1 have been nblo to .give more relief and effect more cures by the us-e of Warner's safojCAire than by ail other niedicines-neceffninable to the pro-fessiojvthehiajority of which, I am sorry

"That letter created a wonderful sensa­tion among the titled classes and the pub­lic. This jarred the doctors terribly. The College of Surgeons and Queen's College, from which institution he was graduated, asked for "an explanation of his unprofes­sional conduct, and notified him that un­less he made a retraction they would dis­cipline him.

"The doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make u>e of Warner's safe cure only after all the regular methods had ftiilfth and when he was satisfied that there was no possible hope for them. lTpon their recovery, after having used Warner's safe cure, ho was so, much sur­prised that he wrote the above letter to the Fanvhi Doctor. He regretted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but he could not conscientiously retract the facts as written to the' Fam!fy 1)< c!i>r.

Rejoicing Over His Late Great Success. I have been afflicted with rheumatism

JLWentyy-enrs, For the last ten years have been obliged to use crutches. Often my left hip and knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terrible disease, have used the most powerful liniments on my hip and knee to 6doth_jthe pain, that I might get a little sleep. ^4JT hip and knee had lost nearly all strength>bvthe use of the liniments^ and I -could gewvo^help. I saw an adver­tisement of your remedy in a paper and ordered half a dozen bottiei^of JUibbsrd's Rheumatic Syrup, took them and^received some relief, ordered another dozem IJav» taken seven of the last dozen, and I a a t ^ happy in saying that I know I am being"^ curea. Have not used any liniments since I commenced taking. y.our_syrup. When I began taking your ' syrup I could not take a step without the use of a cane^ neither could I turn myself in bed without aid; can now turn in bed without any trouble: can walk about my house and office-w4rttt«rt-ttre-trse-of my caue. After loosing track ot it, for the reason when I take a long walk I .take it along. My office-is four block from' my.house; I have not walked to or'from it in over a year until last Thursday a week. Since that time I have walked'to and from it every day, ex­cept Sunday. l a m truly rejoicing that I ara fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction.

-> Wishing that I might herald to all who aVe afflicted with disease thfr merits of your wonderful medicine, I write you of the benefits which I have derived from its . use. Send me one half dozen bottles syrup und one-third dozen plasters by express 0^ O. D. This I want for a friend in the northern part of this county. He is ac • great sufferer with rheumatism.

•- VeVy truly, S. S. Conover.

Slad to grant your request. In nature my isease was a severe cv.s>.» of inflammatory

rheumatism. It sad been running five years and affooted me in all Harts of my body from my head to my feet. I was aV times so crippled in mv hands and limbs as to be unable to help myself. I have/ used your medicine about six weeks; in all about three bottles. I am now able to do my own work in better spirits, no pains, and continually improving. My age is 63, and my condition a year ago and now, speaks very highly of what your medicine has done for me.

Am happy indeed to recommend its true merits. It is the best remedy we, have ever used Respectfully,
