Bobust and blooming health in Hop Bitters, (American Co.'s) and no family can afford to be without them. Bead ' .. A high ' mandarin of China, in his letter of thanks to Dr. Ayer for having introduced Ayer's Fills into the Celestial Empire, called them " Sweet Curing Seeds "—a very appropriate name 1 They are sweet, they cure, and are, therefore, the most profitable " seeds " a sick man can invest in. The special correspondent of the Pilot' in Borne says : — The English people present at the sermon preached by Father Gooney, of Dublin, on St. Patrick's Day, in the Church of St. Isidore, must have been startled when the preacher asked them to pray that Ireland might be free, and that it might be ruled by its own children. Having solemnly declared that, in spite of the malevolent insinuations to the contrary, the Irish people at no time during the 14 centuries of their Christian history had been more attached to the Holy See than at the present moment, and that they would, at the bidding of His Holiness, break the prison bars by which he is confined, if the moment were opportune and that they were told to do so by him, he said that in time the wish of their hearts should be accomplished and that they would be freed." Our esteemed contemporary, the Boston Herald, is struck Wjth-, the difference between the preparations made by the Prince of Wales' for his visit to Germany and those for his trip to Ireland. In spite of* the recent grave complications between England and Germany, .the:Prince never dreams of danger in travelling to Berlin, while every precaution is being taken to ensure a safe and pleasant journey in ao> island of his own dominions. The Herald explains the differenoe.by. showing what pains have been taken to conciliate .the. powerful German Chancellor, and adds :—": — " If the English Government were disposed to treat Irish complaints in the same conciliatory manner, it is not unlikely that the Prince of Wales during his approaching journey through Ireland, would be received everywhere with the most effusive demonstrations of loyalty and delight. That Ireland is looked upon as more hostile than a' foreign country is largely due to the fact that the English Government has not been disposed to treat this part of the United Kingdom with the same consideration that it has been forced to treat rival Europeans." power — Pilot."
