GENERAL SUMMARY.

Mr Herbert Asquith, Home Secretary, introduced in the House of Commons on February 23, a Bill suspending the crea tion of new interests in the Church of Wales. The measure is the first practical stap in the ditection of disendowing and disestablishing the Church in Wales, to which the Liberal party are distinctly pledged. Sir John Gorst, Financial Sec retary of the Treasury under the last Salisbury Cabinet, moved the rejection of the Bill. Lord Randolph Churchill sup ported the motion, and in the course of his remarks he asked the stinging ques tion, "Do you call this a Government? Whom do you govern, and since the House likes to have the points put clearly headed, one day the Government is at the mercy of the Irish party, another day ie is at the mercy of the Welsh party, and on the third day yet to come it will be at the mercy of the Scotch party. The Opposition cheered and laughed at this. They cheered again at hearing Mr Glad stone told that his war-cry was ' Votes, and they cheered most of all when Lord Churchill announced that the Govern ment was managed on principles less ■uited to the conduct of a State than of a Whitechapel auction. Mr Gladstone de fended the Bill, and Sir John Gorst's mo tion was rejected eventually by a vote of 301 to 245, and the Bill passed its first reading. -

AMERICAN SUMMARY.

San JbKANCisco, March 3. The financiers of the Chicago World's Fair have decided to put between 1,200,000d01a and l,3oo,ooodi>ls more ot bonds on the market at once. These bonds are needed to complete the Expo sition buildings, and get the grounds in shape for the grand opunitig on May 1. The Governor of Kansas has signed a Bill giving women the right of suffrage in that State. In attempting to introduce the crinoline fad into the rural district of Balen, Ten nesse, Mrs Saunders caused a fight in a church on Sunday, February 24 In en tering church her cumbersome skirts brushed against several persons. Some one made a remark which offended the woman. She informed her husband and a fight ensued, the relative and frienda of both parties engaging in the fray. Women fainted, children screamed, and many men emerged with broken bleeding heads. Several of the parties are " gun ning " for each other, and the crinoline fad is on the decline, The wool sorters at a Milwaukee worsted mill struck on March 1, first against a lower scale of wages, and second because the disinfection of the wool com ing from districts in Persia and Turkey, where cholera has bfen raging for the last year, was to be discontinued. They did not like low wages and were afraid of cholera germs. Miss Julia Force, sister of the leading shoe merchant of Ata^anta, Ga,, shot and killed her two sisters on February 25. The shooting was the result of a quarrel. Ihe parties moved in the best society, and it is believed that the murderess is in sane. One of the victims was sick in bed at the time. Edwin Booth, the tragedian, after being given up for dead by all the news- S.pers, suddenly proposes to re-appear, c has been involved by the failure of Kobert L. Walker, a prominent merchant of Youngtown, Ohio, to such an extent that financial ruin stares him in the face. The liabilities reach 200,000d01, The ground for the new bridge to span the East river from Sixty-fourth street across Blackw»lls island to the Brooklyn Bide was 'broken on March lsfc. The spans will be 150 ft above the water level, and the bridge will connect with the New York Central and Long Island railways. The cost will be about IO.OOO.GOOdoIs, and the bridge will be of the most approved cantilever type. The Rev .T. A. Sanford, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, lowa, having over-exerted himself by attendance at a revival meeting, became insane in the pulpit while preaching on Sunday, February 26. Pc swore and threatened violence, smashing a Bible over the pulpit, and jumped upon it, cursing and calling down the wrath of God on the congre gation. He was finally secured and taken home, where he remained in a critical condition, physically and mentally. Ruffle Hatch, the once famous Wall street magnate, died on February 23rd at his residence, Sputin Duyvil. Hatch was sixty-two years old. He retired from the street two years ago, and has been failing in health ever since. He was the financial Warwick ot Wall street, at one time, where he made and unmade fortunes, and at the last he died almost penniless. Four thousand people in Concordia and Cathola parishes, Louisiana, were re ported on the verge of starvation on February *th. The floods of last fcummer preventing the planting of crops is the cause of it.

ASTOR AND LABOUCHERE.

The fact that William W. Astor, the rich American, has> purchased the " PaU Mali Gazette ' and converted it into an prgan of the Union party, has caused quite a flarry in London political and social j circles. It is considered a good material jnove however on the part of Astor, as his ulterior object appears to be, according to a despatch dated February 25, to establish himself on a high social footing in London, an object which he is rapidly accomplishing. The Tories rather wince at the newspaper move, but the Glad? stonians do not resent the interference of an American in English politics. Said Mr Tjabouchere, speaking of the purchase, •' Who can have induced Mr Astor to buy the Liberal " Pall Mall Gazette " in order to convert it into an Unionist organ ? It seems to be as strange as it would be f',r the Duke of Westminster, oc some suon English magnate, to buy up the antwAd* ministration paper at Washington, in order to change it into an Administration organ. What would the Americans say if this were done ? Would there not be some sort of outcry, and would it not be sug gested to the Duke that if he wished to engage in politics it might be well if he were to coafine himself to those of his own country ?

TIIJE LHRIIMIC HABIT. It is needless to moralise on the direful effects of intoxicating liquors when used to excess. Moralists'have writton thou sands of books, philanthropists have founded asylums and reformatories, phy sicians have labored and expostulated, wives and mothers have tearfully pleaded, yet the direful fact remains that the curs© is more rampant than ever. What is to be done ? Legislation has proved unavail ing. So far as it gaps, law is right, but appetite cannot be controlled by the statute book. We must treat the drink habit intelligently and understanding^, and when we claim that ifc is a disease, and should be treated as such, we believe we have come near the method by which the problem can ba solved. Arguments, threats, and punishment; have proved futile. Let us now try reason and com mon sense. Drunkenness is the outcome of a nervous disease, either acquired or in herited. The patient, in the great majo rity of cases, is willing, nay anxious, to be cured. His will power, however, has be come paralysed, and he must have all the aid obtainable to renew the battle for the recovery of his manhood, and maintain it successfully. Such an aid is found in Warner's Safe Nervine and Warner's Safe j Cure. The former quiets the nerves, and secures the needed rest and sleep, while the latter carries the poisonous and irrita ting inflammatory matter out of the sys tem, aids digestion and assists in making pure, rich blood. These medicines, to gether with diet, bathing aad exercise, will accomplish the result aimed at. It is not necessary for the patient to isolate himself from his family or friends by going to a high-priced so-called cure, thus advertising himself as incurable by other methods and bringing public attention to his case, and corresponding shame to his friends. To a person of sensitive nature such a course is almost as bad as death itself. We have briefly pointed out a course which can be pursued quietly, systemati cally, and successfully, and which we leave to the intelligent reader to avail himself of Note the experience of Mr William Patterson, of Cairns, Queensland, under date December 7, 1892, be writes :—I commenced the us j of your Safe Cure some years ago when it was first introduced into the colonits. I was a vfiry heavy drinker in my early days, and with the excessive use of spirits my brain became softened and my reason nearly gone. 1 became alarmed at the state I was in, and would gladly have faken anything I thought would do me good. I had a wife and family to support and was in a fair way of business, but could nofr attend to it as for merly. Beading one day about Warner's Safe Cure, I determined to give it a *rial. I managed, after some difficulty, to pro cure a few bottles and commenced its use, keeping strictly to the directions and not taking any strong drink in the meantime. After using a few bottles my brain became clear, and I felt altogether a new man.



SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for Our JPiire Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul, at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state: — It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent fco primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding i lo scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value- All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine,-no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. There so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible: 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific) density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency qf resins and tannatep. If these crude oils, or so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, welHested and reliable preparation —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.— slander and Sons POWDER" destroys BUGS, FLEAS, MOTHS, BEETLES, and all other insects, whilst quite harmless to domestic animals. In exterminating Beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. It is perfectly clean in application. See the article you purchase is "KEATING'S,": as imitations are noxious and ineffectual.
