A Bemarkable Trial.

A remarkable four-days' trial haa been concluded at Vienna. Albert j Vogl, at one time head of one of the ■ private banks in the city, and who waa ' for several years private secretary to ; Mr Gordon Bennett in Few York, waa arrested and accused of having in ioeaced ft rich Russian, named George Taubin, ft client of hie bank for 22 ye*rßj to bequeath upon his death-bed, ■ by declaration before several persons,' bis antire fortune of 500,000 kronen to the banker. Taubin, a Kuaaiau re volutionist, bad constant communi cation, according to bis own statement, with Prince Krapotkin and General Paskewitch. He was extremely eccen tric, and" during his last yeats gave way to drink* The words of the testament were heard by a lawyer and » doctor, The latter was attacked by the public j prosecutor, aod was strongly blamed lor rou&lng the patient from somnolence by means of camphor injections. Tau- Ws relations brought the action I against Vogl, and there were also seve- j r«l other persona disappointed at not receiving anything under his will. Tba accused was acquitted unanimously fey the jury, their decision causing much satisfaction to the public,

A New Rifle.

The London correspondent of tho People's Journal writes :—I have had an opportunity of seeing the new rifle invented by Sir Charles Ross of Balna gown. This is the only pattern of the r.fle in this country, %nd it.was recently Bfaown to His MHJebty. I may state thafc Sir Charles Eosa is a highly ■killed mechanician, and thafe he has extensive works in Connecticut, in the United States. Ha spends his time pretty equally between this country and America, bat the first copy of the rifl^, which b.B has never perl?cted, was made at bis seat in Scotland. The great advantage of the new rifls ia than it is much more easily served than any existing weapon, the cartridges, instead of being done up in clips of five, which have to be opened and each cartridge successively deposited in the magazine, may be carried in any number loosely and thrown anyhow into the breach In firing the Lee»Metford or Mauser rifle the arm has to perform four dif ferent motions, in ono of which the riflecpan lying behind a stone or dyke may expose hia arm, Id the new rifle there are only two motions straight out and in, and hence the rifla is known a& Boss's • straight pull. 1 The general result is that a man can fire twice as rapidly ac at present The rifle ia also shorter and lighter than the existing weapon, with as great a range. The Harris system of feeding has been adopted; Its inventor claims that it is the most perfect rifle in the world.'

A Critical Case.

A SENIOR INSPECTOR OF POLICE SUBMITS BIS EVIDENCE.

Dr Morse's Indian Root PJla add one more name to the long list of their w n« derful turen. 1c is for those once placed on the verge of the grave, and who have been given a Icager terra of life by the timelf use of thla wonderful remedy, to give the Pills their due of praise.

Such a roan ia Sei'ior Inspector W T Langworthy, of Yass, New- South Wales, who writes as follows : — * Dear blrs,—For many years 1 have been a sufferer irom Rheumatism, Constipation, Giddiness, Violent Pains in the head, and a * Liver.'Golds, Ohille, and worse than all, Lumbago; of course I got temporary relltl irom doctor? and chemists.

The Value of Spain's Friendship

(From the Laily Mail)

The most palpable object lesson of the manner in which the action of the Foreign Office affects the Fleet ia presented today by our relations with fcpain. In the event cf war with France and Russia the friendly neu.raiity of Spain is of greater Importance to Britain than almost auy other international factor.

If Spain, were friendly ■with England there would te no question of her mount ing gana at Algeciras to bombard Gibralta or allowing France to do bo on her behalf. If Spain were friendly, the use of a port in Minorca would be vouchsafed ro us, and since it la the zone of s ifety, being beyond attack by French torpedo boats, tbe position of the Biitlsh Admiral would be very much better than it is at present. If Spain were friendly in time of war there would be no chance of the French being allowed to use Spanish ports in the Atlantic as neste for their own torpedo boats, the French Biscayan coasfc offering no advantages ior the purpose.

From Wahanfc to Gibraltar, with & friendly Spain, British ships would be £;B3 ftom the fear of torpedo attack ; with a hostile Spain arrangements for protect* icg JBritish men-of-war and merchant ehipa would be required for every mile c f the distance from PorUmonth to the Straits.

The Foreign Office, through the present Plims Minister, taunted Spain with being ' a dying nation.' The pride of the Castile, the common senae cf Catalon ia, the anger of Andalusia were equally roused. Ihe taunt hie not been forgotten and the price of the epigram is yet unpaid by tho British people.

A Bad Skin Boils. Pimples. Impure Blood. Boils are simply very large pimples. The trouble is not in the skin, but down deep in the blood. You cannot liave a good, smooth skin unless it is nourished by pure blood; and the only way to make your blood pure is to take a strong blood-purifying medicine. Mr. P. Ellian, of 870 Rae Street, North Fitzroy, Victoria, sends us this letter and his photograph; I jwa^v «< I had a most frightful attack of Tx>ils and pimples breaking out all over my body. I had heard bo much about AVER'S Sarsaparilla I thought I would give it n. trial. It took only four bottles to drive all the impurities out of my system and make my blood rich. I have en joyed the best of health ever since I took it." If your tongue is coated, if your food dis tresses you, if you are constipated or bilious, take Ayer's Pills. _ frtpareo by Dr. J. C.
