King Alfred's Millenary A GLOWING EULOGY BY LORD ROSEBERY

At Winchester on September 20th,' amid impoßtngfoeremoQial there was unveiled Mr H&mo Thorneycroft's doiosial Btatae of King Alfred. To Lord Rosebery was dppated the pria o\p%\ part of the proceedings?, the BnTeiHagt and before a brilliant assem blage, consisting of deputies from all over the world, and municipal dele gates from all the principal towns of Great Britain, he delivered an inter setiug speech Lord Rosebery said—Mr Mayor, my Lords, and gentlemen, we are here to day to consecrate a great memory, and to raise before oar countrymen the itandard of a great example, for a thoutand years ago there died iv this oity one who, by common consent, represents the highest type of English* man, It is meet and fitting that we •tid'nld celebrrte such an occasion. Aroaad Kiag Alfred there has grown up a, halo of tradition such as would dim' a lesser man, though his person ality stands out pure and distinct amid the legends, and yet for our pur pose even the tradition is perhaps sufficient. The noble statue which I am about to unveil can only be an effigy of the imagination, and so the Alfred we reverence may well be an Idealised figure, for our real knowledge of him is scanty and vague. We have, however, daiped round his form, not without reason, all the highest attributes of manhood and kingship, The Arthur of our poets, the Paladin King without fear, without stain, and without reproach, is to ua the true re presentation of Alfred. In him, in deed, we venerate not so much a strik ing actor in oar history aa the ideal Englishman, the proficient Sovereign, fche pioneer of Bnglaod's greatness, (Hear, hear.) With his name we as ioclate oar Metropolis, oar fleet, our literature, our laws, our foreign re lation*, our first efforts at education. (Hisr, hear.) He is in a word, the embodiment of oar civilisation, and yefe so narrow was his ssage, so limited hia opportunities, that he wotfld have marvfeiied, not less than the son of Jeiiß or the son of Kisb, at the prim acy feo which he has been called, and »t the Bicolar ref aranee which embalms Ma memory. Even at his best he ruled over bat a province. He made *ao great eonqaesta, he wrote no great books, he knew none of the splendours of wealth and dominion. There waa nothing in him of the Alexander or the Cresar. He had none of the glories of lolomon save Ms wisdom alone, (Ohmtß.) What, Indeed, is fche^ secret of hia fame, of hia hold on the imagi nation of mankind ? It is, in the first place, a question of personality. He has stamped his character on the co.d aonale of humanity, How is that done ? We cannot tell. We know only that the two homely talea of his life, the story of his mother's book, and that of the neatherd's hat, have become part of our folklore. Then fie wee the first Englishman on whom it is recorded that he never knew that ho was beaten. (Cheers.) Some times tho Bines crashed him, some, timos he crashed the Danes, but he won In the end. (Cheers ) Nor was it only with theeo that he had to contend, In the first twenty years of the half century that was his life he struggled against agonbing disease and the pitralysls of apprehension of its recurrence. Thi* he should have done go much is wonder fat. That he should h*ve done ao much under this disability is amazing,

alfrbb's i-ersonauty.

Then he bad the supreme quality of trutbg frankness, caodonr, on open hiesrt. His word was his bond. That fe a quality which was then rare smong princes, and is never too common—(hear hear)-—but it is one which Englishmen low; (Cheers ) He was known mth ■ troth toller. It ib a noble title, more distinguished than the vapid and progtl toted epithet of Great. He first woo an English victory at sea ; he formed his ctenal levies ioto a power of militia, if noYan array j he breathed the earliest inspiration of education into England, «q Inspiration vitt! then, which would be scarcely lees precious now—(cheers) —and he, with »n eyo for commerce and defence, gave us London, not as the fiftf. or the second founder, but as forrader of tha London which we know. A VISION OF GREATER ANGLO-SAXONDOM Bat suppose that in some each dream a seer had led him up into a mountain and shown him the England which was to he, the England of which he bad laid the foundations, had not concealed from him the first dark hoar 1q which his kingdom and race should be overwhelmed by a Norman invasion of which the iron should enter the English soul—not; to alay bat to strengthen, to introduce indeed the last element wanted to compose an imperial race, and then passing over the ages, bad solaced him by showing him the new England as we see it, and Jed him to the banks of the Thames, and had shown him the little Saxon fort developed into a world capital end a world mart, inhabited by millions, often crowded »nd distressed, but familiar with comforts unknown to a Saxon prince. Suppose that guiding him through the endless maae of teem ing dwellings, the seer had brought him to a palace where the descendants of Ms Witan conduct a system of government which, reaaotp, indeed, from perfection, is the parent of most constitutions in the civil ised world. (Hear, hear.) Not far removed) again, the Saxon King might have beheld another palace, con* eecra|ed to the jurisprudence which he himself with a solemn invocation to the Almighty had raised from the dead, and then passing down and beyond the imperial river, he might have been brought within sight of the British fleet the offspring of his own poor boats, charged with the wardship of a fifth of the world, with the traditions of victory and supremacy, and not unequal to the trust. (Qheerß."* Suppose, moreover, that there could have been spread be fore htm the opulent and brilliant vista of English literature, that promised land for which he was to prepare, but scarcely to enter. Suppose that he coald have seen in an unending pro cession the various nations who own lea free fatherhood of the Bntihh CJrown, ana not merely thSae, but those descendants of his sparse subjects wllß, aggregated, no dotsbt, from piny osh©r races, are yeft tbo central

source of the Amedc«n people—(cheers) th*t people wh eh, always divided from us by the Atlantic, and often by differ ences of policy and aspiration, cannot, if they will be wholly separated, and in j supreme moments of stress and sorrow I irresistibly join hands with us across tho centuries and the seas. (Loud cheprs.) Sup.posp, in a word, that ho couid have beheld bs in an unfolded tapeetry, tde varying but superb fortunes of (hat indomitable rac-- by whose cradle ho hat] wauhed, would he not have seen in him &! If one of those predestined brings, greater than the great, who seem uncon sciously to fashion tbo d stinies and mark tho milestones of tho world-—(hear, hear) —and rs he, looking forward, would have marvelled, co wo, looking backward, marvel none the less?, but proudly and gratefully consecrate th's monument to tho rmmory of Alfred the Good, Alfred the Truthtellr. Alfred tbe father of his country and ours. (Oheprs )

a SEDEHT/IRr LIFE Brings on a Sluggish Liver. ANOTHER LOCAL PROOF. The Case of Mr. G. HAMILTON.



{By a Dunedin Reporter.)



A story well worth hearing was-toM to a reporter by Mr. George Hamilton, of 18 Maelaggan-strect, Duncdin. Those who have not already heard it will find considerable interest in reading the fol-



lowing statements: — " For the greater part of my life," \said Mr. Hamilton, "I have been used to plenty of hard work, and I think there is nothing like it for keeping the body in a healthy condition. When I commenced to get up in years a bit I thought it time to take life a little easier, so I started shop-keeping. It is really marvellous how the change aii'ec ted me. The ease and comparative lazi ness of my altered career did not alto gether agree with me, for I got terribly stout and my liver went sluggish. My former habitual activity was succeeded by a feeling as if everything was a bur den. I could not go about my duties as I would like to, being hindered by ' a sense of lassitude and fatigue which precluded all efforts to work from being satisfactorily carried out.® It took a long time to make up my mind what I would like to eat, and after I sat down with my food in front of me I could very rarely eat it. At other times my appe tite was a little better, but it did not make any difference how small a quan tity of food I ate there was always a feeling of painful discomfort in the stomach afterwards. Frightfully severe pains between my shoulders also came on, and an awful ache settled in my forehead. My headaches were often so intense that I could hardly see out of my oyes, besides experiencing a throb bing in my temples which resulted in fits of giddiness. Everything became burred and indistinct-, besides appear ing to rapidly revolve. Severe pains appeared in my loins and at the end of my ribs, sometimes being so acute as to make me gasp for breath." " Did the excess of flesh you had at tained still remain?" queried the re porter. & "Not a bit of it. I was, compara tively speaking, reduced to a shadow. As I could not sleep very well it was only to be expected that ray nervous system should suffer, and it did, with a vengeance. My nerves were thoroughly run down and out of tone. Occasionally I got a little sleep but I never felt re freshed after it. A sure indication of my excessive weakness lay in the fact that I was always in a state of profuse perspiration. I could sit down in a •jhair and still the sweat w"ou!d run out of me. The morning was the time I ffonevally felt \vor*e, for my limbs ached intensely, and I had a bitter taste in my mouth. My chest felt as though it were pressed down by a heavy weight, and the trouble I had in drawing ray breath sometimes can scarcely be im agined. Whether I slept for a few licurs at night or not I was in just tho same miserable, drowsy condition all day, a symptom .which I can only attri bute to the irregularity of my bowels. A great amount of agony was caused by the generation of wind in ray stomach, which arose to tho heart and irmde it throb. My mind was over-strained with the thoughts concerning my sufferings, which were becoming more unbearable every day." ® " Did you have any medical advisor in attendance?" " I am pleased to say I did not. I have to thank my own judgment for taking such action which dispenses with the services of doctors. Reading about several people whore health had been restored by Clements Tonic induced me to give that medicine a trial, a few bottles bringing me round splendidly. I could soon eat without any painful consequences, and I slept well at night. Tho fearful pains in my shotilders^nd loins were gone, and the wind never again formed in my stomach ._ My head aches were removed, elasticity and vi tality returning to my limbs—all through the splendid properties of Cle ments Tonic. I took a new interest in



life, and felt bright and cheerful. Cle ments Tonic quickly put me in the pink of condition, and in order that every one may know these facts you may pub lish them any way you like."
