A tolophono bae boen loid on to a church m Birmingham with considerable bucccsb. I'his may do vory woll for the sick and aged, but, hinta Canon Wilcox, what about the collection ! No other mrdicino is ao reliablo as Ayer'e Cherry Pectoral, for the euro of coughs, colds, and all derangements of Urn respiratory organß. It relieves the asthmatic and consumptive, even m advanced stages of disouso[Advt.l No medicine ie moro conscientiously propared, more powerful, or more highly concentrated, than Ayer's Saroaporilla. Its standard of excellence is the result of careful study. Tho best blood-purifier.— [Advt] A Frenchman m the province of Lorraine bequeathed Franco £160 with which to buy arms to fieht Germany m the next war. A» he was beyond tha roach of tho law the Germanß arrested his brother as accoßsory to the crimo of sedition and conspiracy. The PrincßSß Clotilde, widow of Prince Nopoleon, io ono of the bravest women known. In 1870, when all the mernbora of the Imperiol family fled, she wrote to ber father: "I ought not to leave, 6till lesß to run away. It is not for nothing one haß the honour to belong to the House of Savoy, and it is not fitting for mo to leavo Paris." A small quantity of Dr Koch's lymph having been reoeived m Japan, experiments a-e now being made n ith it by Dr Nakahama. It is said that tho announcement of the discovery has caused much excitement m the country districts, and that constant applications for lymph, and for information as to the results of the experiments, are received m Tokio. A Dunedin citizon who recently paid Timaru a visit partook of some scones and other things made with " Warburton's Can't Be Beat Baking Powder-" _£c at once noticed thoir Buperiority, and exclaimed, " What more can the heart of man desire ?" Prudent housewives should uso this Powder, which may be obtained from all Grocers m 6d, Is, aud 2s tins. Fact ! — [Advt.] A sensation has been caused by the recont refusal of the Govornor of Oregon to go out and reccivo tho President on Mb visit to tho State. Govornor Pennoyer declared that ho was as great a man ia his own territory aa was President Harrison, and lhat"it devolved upon the President to pay his rospocts to him. Ho quoted as precedent for for his notion tho ooDduct fowaads Washington m 1789, of Governor Hancock of Maesacliuseta. Tho precedent, however, waa a bad ono. Hancock's conduct mortified tbe people of bis State, offondod Washington, and, finally, was finally repented of by Hancook himself. Pennojer has provoked only ridicule.
