Turkey and the Powers

IWtr Gladitone on *Ii» Sitnatloii. lORB BBAISBY'S OPINIOV. (PER PBESS ASSOCIATION.) London, September 16 The Standard's Turkish correspon dent suggests that the Powers will offer the Sultan the alternative of establishing a mixed police force or submitting to the presence of foreign fleets and opening the Straits. Russia is believed to be secretly opposing the latter proposal. In the course of his speech at Liverpool Mr Gladstone m referring to the Armenian atrocities, expressed pleasure at the prospect of a national movement being started, and urged that America and Great Britain should unitedly intervene with a view to bring about reforms m Turkey. lie also mentioned that the Lutheran press was agitating for the Government there to take action. Melbourne, September 16 The Presbyterian Federal Assembly has drawn up a petition to the Queen protesting against the Armenian atro cities, ... September 17. Lord Braßsey, speaking at Horsham, referred to the recent petition drawn _sup by. the Presbyterian Federal Assembly for presentation to the Queen, protesting- against the treat ment of the Armenians. He said the tottering Turkish Government could not much longer stand, and would not stand even now but for the jealousies existing between the European Powers. .He had formed the deliberate opinion that it was a matter of no concern to Great Britain what Power was master at Constantinople. Oohstabtihoplb, September 19 The Armenian Anarchist Committee threaten to dynamite the Embassies unless concessions are granted.. The city is placarded with demands for the deposition of the Sultan. Pera is deserted, the native Chris tians being afraid to appear m the streets. Out of forty thousand male Armenians known to reside m the capita], a fourth have been deported or killed. H.M.s. Dryad protects all who take shelter upon British vessels. Sir Philip Currie, the British Am bassador, has impressed upon the Sultan the dangerous ferment of public opinion m England.

THE DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY .

London, September 16 One of the letters found m Wallace's possession invited him to come to Boulogne if he was afraid to go to Scotland, and warned him that <; cowardice would not be tolerated. Later Before leaving Amepica, Tynan un folded a plot which was intended be carried out here. A liou*e was to be secured opposite Marlborough house, the Prince of Wales residence, and a tunnel driven through to the latter, which was to be destroyed by dynamite. A group of Nihilists m Chicago, headed by one Rabinoyita, supported the plot, and provided funds for its being carried out. A letter found m possession of Wallace refers to attacks to be made on orowned heads about to visit Queen Victoria. Bombs were found under the pillows on beds occupied by Haines and Wallace, and are of a new pattern, and m the form of a tap. Tynan, when examined m his cell, denied any knowledge of Bell until confronted with letters taken from Bell. He ad mitted meeting Wallace m Antwerp Tynan claims the protection ot the French flag, and has cabled to Presi dent Cleveland, insisting on his release. The Irish National Alliance has raised a 'defence fund of £600,000. The Cz»r doubts whether any danger threatens him. American newspapers miminise and ridicule the plot.

ASHTON.

On Tuesday evening Mr and Mrs John Shearer, Ashion, celebrated the coming of 'age of their eldest son Peter at their home stead. A large marquee waß erected m the yard adjoining the house, but the ample farm kitchen was made use of as the refec tory, m which some 140 guests were enter tained to dinner. Mr George Gilmour, who had come specially from VVeedou's fco be present, proposed the toast of the evening, Mr Gilmour, who was one x of the earliest settlers m Ash ton, and knows the history of the district well, ran over that history briefly but graphically, and drew a striking picture between the flourishing settlement of to-day and the struggks of the pioneers of twenty years ago. Of those pioneers Mr Shearer was one, and the young man, whose majority they were then celebrating, was the first boy born m the settlement. Mr j Gilmour trusted he would live long and v continue m the future to be to his father the able help he had been m the past. The speaker also expressed the good wishes of the guests for Mr and Mrs Shearer and the numerous olive plants that were around i their table. The toast was honored enthusi astically. Mr David Thomas proposed the health of Mr and Mrs John Shearer m his usual felicitous manner. It had been the custom m the past to say that the young people would never be able to fill their parents' shoes. He^never expressed himself m language like thar, because the more he saw of young colonials, and the aid they gave their parents on the farms, the more was he satisfied that the young j.eop?e would m time fill their parents' shoes, and be their worthy successors. He was sure theyonng man m whose honour they were that evening assembled under Mr Shearer's roof, would ' be a worthy successor to his father, m whom he would a. ways have an excellent example . to follow, and, if he kept the pattern "of life his father and mother had given him always before his mind, he would become a Eettler who would enjoy the honour and respect of every one m the district, as his father and mother had done and ware now doing. This toast, like the previous one, waß also enthusiastically honoured. Both toasts were suitably acknowledged by the Messrs Shearer, father and son. After dinner, dancing was heartily engaged m m the marquee, to excellent -music supplied by piano and violin playing friends, and at intervals songs, etc, were given by the guests. At the close Mr Tout asked for three cheers for the host and hostess, which were heartily given, and after singing " Auld Lang Syne, ' the company parted.

WE MUST HAVE THE TOOLS.

Robinson Crusoe, you remember, uiade a big boat or cance out of <the trunk of a tree. It was a laborious and tedious job. And that wasn't the worst of it. When he got the boat done he couldn't launch it. It was too heavy for one man to handle. If he had only had an arrangement like the capstan of a ship he might have managed. He under stood how to do it, but lacked the tools. How often we find ourselves at a dead stand for that Bame reason. Let me give f you a fresh illustration, tied up for the moment m the following letter, which must be read before we can rightly come at the point. 'In the spring of 1884,' says our corres pondent • I got into a low weak way, not being able to imagine what had happened to me. My strength kept ebbing away till I bad scarcely the desire or ability to do anything. I felt as tired as if I had just arrived home from a long, hard journey, yet no tax more than usual of any kind had been laid upon me. My mind, too, waa weary ; so that I turned from things that obliged me to think, plan, or consider. 'Side by side, so to speak, with all this was the failure of my appetite. Of course I continued to eat, or make an effort to eat, but food no longer tempted me as it does a person m health. I picked and minced over my meals, and the little I took neither tasted good nor did me any good after I had eaten it. Instead of warming, comforting and stimulating me, as it used to do, it gave me distress at the stomach, pain at the chest, and a singular feeling of tightness around the waist, as though a belt was buckled too snug around me.

• After a time the condition of my stomach seemed to grow worse. There was that Bense of gnawing, so often mentioned by others, and occasionally a feeling of faint ness and sinking, almost like the ground giving way under one's feet.' [Remark : An eminent London physician, m one of his books, describes this sinking feeling as one of the most appalling and frightful tb.it it is possible to experience. It is not the body but the mind that Buffers. I, the present writer, have had two attacks of it, and pray to have no more. It is like unto the overshadowing of the Death Angel's wing, with the mind fully conscious of the situation, This cause is uric acid poison m the blood, one of the products of prolonged indigestion.] «When thiß sinking feeling came on,' continues the letter, *it weighed me down like a nightmare. Finally I got to be so weak I could only walk slowly and feebly. The doctor who prescribed for me said my complaint was dyspepsia, but his medicine had no perceptible effect. * I continued like this for eight years ; not always the same, but now better and then worse. Yet m all that long time there was not a day when I could say that I was well. Mo medicine or treatment seemed right for me, and I almost began to think I never should recover my former health. 'In March, 1891, Mother Seigel's Syrup waß reoommended to me as having done wonders m cases like mine, even when they were of long standing and everything else Had failed . No harm to try it, we thought, and got a bottle from Mr Grime, the chemist m Bolton Road ; and after taking it I felt great relief. My appetite quickly improved and J could eat without pain. When I had taken two or three bottleß more the bad symptoms had all gone, and I was as well as ever. My husband also tqok the medicine with th,e Bajne good resultß. You may publish my letter and refer enquirers to me (Sigqed) (lif rs) Elizabeth Wilson, g, North cote Street, Bolton Road, Barwen, March Jet, 18fj5.» The lesson m this interesting narrative is too plain for us to miss it. Our old friend Crusoe was not able to launch his boat for the want of machinery. Similarly the doctor whq attended Mrs Wilson was not able to cure her because he did no.t possess the right remedy. His opinion as to her complaint) wtw entirely gorrecfe. She was

■uttering from chioi ie dyspepsia, precipely as he told her. But alas !it is one thing to know what ought to be done and quite another to have the knowledge aiul means to do it. 1 Between these two things (over this wide, > gap) stands Mother Seigel's Syrup, just as between the two sides of the Thames stands London Bridge.

PARIS OINE WOICI>, — — :o:— — TOOME to you with a small affair that yon may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countrie layself and wares are well-known Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these Confidence between man and man is alow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. I do not think it will be misplaced. I make the best form of cure — an absolute one — for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it- self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes — that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydock's New Lives Pill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try }h«m, before you purchase.
