Bread riots have taken place at Tabriz in Persia. The bazaar closed, and troops dispersed the mob, twenty of whom wore killed. The bodies were taken to the Russian Consul, whose protection was in yoked. The Court of Queen’s Bench decided that the executors of Mrs Frances Tolle macho are not liable for probate duty in England on £112,000 invested in Now Zealand, upon which, duty was paid in that colony. To know a man’s weak point is to greatly strengthen your own case. For example—The new coach proprietor of a Queensland line approached the owner of Barbwire Station—a regular old fire-eater and a J.P.—to ascertain if he would allow the horses to run in the station paddock “What! Do you take me fur a public accommodation ?” replied the pompous old gentleman. “No sir, but being one of Her Majesty’s Justices of the Peace, you ought, in your official capacity, to assist in the safe conveyance of Her Majesty’s mails.” Touched on the weak point—his official importance—he at once said —“ You’re quite right, my boy ; you take a proper view of the matter; put as many horses as you like into my paddocks.” And he strode away in proper magist n’ial style.—“ Woomera,” in Australasian. The most successful and perfect cleanse and polisher for all kinds of metaj especially tinware, also windows, cutlery and paintwork, is Bock’s Putz Paste, sold at The Bazaar, in large tins Is each.

O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyler Co. W. Ve., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. He was almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He says : *• It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invaluable remedy for coughs and colds.’’ For sale by A. A. Gower. Mrs Emily Thorne, who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to procure any medicine for rheumatism that relieves the paiu so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and that she has also used it for lame back with great success. For sale by A. A. Gower. The experience of Geo. A. Apgar, of German Valley, N. J., is well worth remembering. He was troubled with with chronic diarrhoea and doctored for five months and was treated by four different doctors without benefit. He then began using Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrbeea Remedy, /)f which one small bottle effected a complete cure. It is for sale by A. A. Grower. A Des Moines woman who has been troubled with frequent colds, concluded to try an old remedy in a new way, autr accordingly took a tablespoonful (four times the usual dose) of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy just before going to bod. The next morning she found that her cold had almost entirely disappeared. During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teaspoonfnl at a time) and at night again took a tablespoonful before going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptoms of the cold. Since then she has, on several occasions, used this remedy in like manner, with the came goo I results, and is much elated over her discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold. For sale by A. A. Gower.
