The Bed Indians, living on lauds secured to them by the Canadian Government, fully appreciate the blessings of British rule, aB they showed a few years ago, when they resisted the attempts made to seduce them from their allegiance. They may well do so, for, however it haß come about, the red man has found a much happier lot in Canada than in the United States. It is really matter for some pride, as well as satisfaction, that the British Empire, alone among the White Powers, has succeeded in winning the confidence «nd love of this noble race.— Globe. It will be seen by preliminary notice in another column that the Wellington Band, the premier band of the oolony, will give a concert on the 7th of Maroh at Eawera. The Band will then be on its way to the contest at New Plymouth. It will be a musical treat to hear this organisation, and the event will be looked forward to with expectation. A very singular action has come before the Civil Court at Matienburg, in West Prussia. A Eussian, who was very proud of hiß long beard, undertook, in conversation with three of his friends, to sbave it off if anyone would pay him 100 marks. The money was offered to him the following day* He was about to comply, but his wife interfered, and oaused her husband to be served with a police notice not to shave off hiß beard, as she olaimed a proprietorship in pursuance of the Eussian law. The three friends are notf suing the husband for non-performance of his contraot. . , . Wilson Barrett was once playing m Dublin, and the time waß shortly after the Fenian outrage at Clerkenwell. •'Little did I expect,", says Barrett, "the perfect furore of cheers which greeted my first appearances. Every speech was received with a torrent of applause, and, being at the time a young man, I certainly felt .myself a person of considerable importaricb before I got through with the first act." He enjoyed his triumph so much that h^ confided to " props " at the theatre. " A very warm audience," he said. "Yes, sir, very warm." "Are Irißh audiences often bo warm?" " Not often." " I saw they seemed to like my acting very much." "The aotin'?" returned "props." "It it's not that at all. They are after takin' you fox the brother of Barrett that was banged yesterday."

"Cruel only to bo kind."— Much unnecessary suffering is inflicted under the above excuse. If one is not very well, feels out of sorts, has a touch of the bile, and experiences an unpleasant giddiness, one is immediately told to take some disagreeable medicine. It is kindness in the guise of cruelty, we are told. As a matter of fact, disagreeable medicines are no longer necessary. Holloway's Pills and Ointment— the world-famed remedies— will soon puj one right, and, moreover, they are pleasant and agreeable restoratives to health. Thousands can attest this, thousands have attested it. For disorders of the stomach and liver, take the Pills And use the Ointmept for gout, lumbago srheamatiem, Ac. — Advt.
