IRISH AFFAIRS

(FSH Mi&Btt ASSOCIATION.)

London, Janoary 25,

The Executive are relaxing the seysrity of the Grimes Act in counties where violence and organised resistance are declining. The " Pall Mall Gazette " states that the report of the " Times "-Parnell Commission will be disclosed within a fortnight, and that it will prove tanta mount to a dismissal of the charges brought against Parnell, on the ground that they wero based on forgeries. The report will, it is stated, censure the leaden of the Land League, for their methods of promoting agitation in Ireland, and will condemn the trucu lence of the Irish National Press.

LOHDOX, January 25 New Zealand hemp is dull, and prices are irregular. Latest quotations are from £28 15s to £29. Antwerp wool gales closed at slightly better quotations than those obtained at the close of the last series. Three thousand five hundred bales were sold. All the Australian wool was withdrawn from the sale.

AMERICAN HATRED OF THE NEGRO

Tfce New fork correspondent of the '' Manchester Examiner " bsa collected a itailllog array of fsots bearlbg opon tho extraordinary hatred of the negro which ■till prevail! among tbo Americans of Intelligence and eduoation. For example, Mr Fred. Dooglai, the U.S. Minister Plenipotentiary to the Repub'lo of H*yti, tv oniy able to start fcr hie post on board the frigate Kemage after no fewer than three captains of the Government Navy bad beeu nuspenduu from duty and deprived of tbeir command)), in conse ■ acqoenoe of their refuial to receive a man of the £nvoy'i color and reca on terms of equality at tbefr table or as a paueager on board their ships. As for the ordinary nail steamers to the West Indies, It was hopeless to attempt to send the Minister to Heyti on board of any of them. For so strict are the rales and regulations on the subject of the oolor line that they would only have been able to give deck passages to his Excellency and his party. The Yonng Men's Christian Association, one of the moat representa tive and Influential corporations of the United Statef, refuses to admit colored youths to membership. A Bill has been labmitted to the Arkansas Legislature— tod it 11 oertaln to beoome law—requiring the railroidi to provide separate cms for colored passenger. At Detroit, In Michigan, the other day, a respect able and wealthy mulatto resident, who had been refused service in one of the leading restaurants of the oily, brought an action against the proprietor. Although there wai do dispute of the fats, the jury unanimously deoldcd •gainst the plaintiff, who was, moreover, anloied In costs to a heavy amount. At Deoatnr, Illinois, the Kevd Edw»rd Wilson, • coloured clergyman, who was attending a convention of Baptists in Illinois, was solely on account of bis colour refused lee cream by the leidlDg oonfeotloner of the place In which be was staying. At New Richmond, Ohio, the School Board actually went to the length of doling the eohoota rather than permit the negroes to send their children to the same pvblto schools as the whites — this, too, In face of the fact tbat the colored inhabitants of the place furnish the major portion of the school rates, The Court*, on k elng appealed to by tiie aegro parents, denied the rights of the colored parents in the matter. A similar caae occurred on Long Island, within' 30 mileß of New York, a few months ago, and there again the colored parents failed to obtain satisfaction or redme. Fred Douglas, who, as stated above, han just •ailed for Bayti as United States Minhter, and who bis already held the important position of United titates Marshal of the District of Columbia under one oft! the former Bepublioan admit'iterations, was refused accommodation by all of the leading hotels on his arrival at Jackson ville, Florida, the other day.

THE INCREASE OF INSANITY

For some time (the English" Mechanic" writef) alooholism has been engaging the attention of icientlets, who attribute to it much of the increase of Insanity. Daring the last 50 years, states a report submitted to tbe French Minister of the Interior, tho conanmption of alcohol has trebled, and tho number of lunatics ht>s quad rupled. Crime and suicide are alto steadily on the increase. In the years 1872 87 the number of suicides had increased by fifty-fire per cent Their pr ope it ion in regard to tho population has risen from 15 to 21 pel 100,000 lohhbltantß. Women resort lass frequently to suicide thin men. Aa shown In previous statiitios, the frequency of suicide bears a relative proportion to age, Thus op to the ago of 40 years the propensity to suicide remains the simis in women as in men, bat after this period it Inoreises regularly with aga. Tee report of the lart International Con oress for the Suppression of Alcoholism, whioh was hold In Paris from Ju'y 29 to August I, 1885, contains the old and famflUr statement that cr'minality and mental aberration follow a match parallel with tho consumption of alcoholic bevetsgos I: Is also stated that the nombe* .of crimesl and pffenwi against wortls la exactly In

HOW PILLS ARE MADE The Custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nausuous, but very use ful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alona about 2,000,000,000 two thousand million) pi" Is a<*e consumed every y<"( In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the dem;md was compara tively small. To-day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especi ally contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form ot medication oan be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or & million of them there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As ew; ybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides, and bac«, he may be sure his bowels are constipatec, and his liver uggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digescive organs of the accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A, J. "White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually pos.-eses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further onstipation, as nearly all other pills do. As further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are efiective in curing dibep.se, If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up Hie cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a bragkish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pilis will effect a speedy cure, Oftentimes partial I j decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, cite. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow. Unlike many kinds of pi'ls, they do not . make you feel worse before you are better. , They are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions in either sex wilhoutany unpleasant efects.
