^PULVERMACHER'S PATENT:
GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, BATTERIES,
RECENTLY IMPROVED.
Approved by :the Academy qf Medicine of Paris
end oblter Medical Authorities in England and abroad.
Electricity, the prime actor in the process of life,
pervades all living organism, and its identity with
nerve force is no:conjuncture, but a positive scien-
tific fact, known to all versed in the teachings o
Electro-phyisoloy,y.
Consequently in nervous exhaustion, local debility
and various functional disorders it is Natare's sole
and most congenitl remedy. ,The solf-applicatiou of
this wonderful physical agent has become easy and
agreeable to the patient, and accessible to all by the
recent improvements.
In contradistinction to those unprincipled adver-
tisers who publish statements solely on their own
authority, ME. PtiLYERMACHER refrains from putting
forward any statements of his own in favour of his
Medico-Galvanic Appliances, but confines himself to
quotations from the opinions of competent medical
and scientific authorities, including San C. LOCOCK,
Bart., M.D., V.R.C.S. ; San HENRY HOLLAND, Bart.,

appliances is supplemented by the following para-
graph recently found in the standard work (p. 76,

stetrics at Cincinnati :
"In those cases where it is desirable to produce

MONEY-LENDING IN INDIA.

The Pall Mall Gazette remarks :—"lndia must be
the paradise of money lender& Some years ago a
Christian capitalist advanced the sum of £5 on the
personal security of a Eurasian co-religionist employed
AS a writer in a Government office. The interest was
originally only 75 per cent, per annum, but as nothing
had been paid at the end of two years the debtor gave
a promipaory note for the amount then due' and under
took to pay 120 per cent, for the future. Three years
went by *ithout any payments being made' and then
a fresh capitalizing operation was (fleeted. About
that time the debtor's salary was increased, and he at
once set aside a moiety of his pay for the purpose of
reducing his debt. In this he succeeded EO perfectly
that at the time of his death, a few years later, he
owed no more than £lOO. Quite recently, no further
back indeed than last August, a Hindoo money-lender
successfully sued another mild Hindoo in the Small
Cause Court for £4, being the balance due on a
sum of £B, the outcome in two years of an
advance of £2, the interest being calculated
at the rate cf 7i farthings per rupee per
diem. How much tle would amount to per annum
is one of those questions which may fitly be relegated
to Mr. Babbage's calculating machine. These two
cases however, illustrate the general poverty of India,
and the infinitisimal character of its internal and, so
to speak, popular trade. In some of the remote hill
di.tricts coined money is still regarded as a curioeity
to be worn about the person, business being conclucted
on the old principle of barter. It is not very surprising
that in a country where every ryot is in debt, and
where the interest on personal loans varies from 75 to
200 per cent.; the land should•be tepidly passing 'into
the hands of money lenders and usurers. Though not
matter for surprise? it is certainly matter for regret."

MR. SPURGEON ON PREACHERS AND
PEOPLE.
_ _ _

On Tuesday Mr. Spurgeon took part In the proceedings
In connection with the laying of the foundation-stone of a
new hall in George-street, Camberwell, in which Ned Wright
proposes for the future to carry on the mission service, for
which his present wooden and iron structure has become
inadequate. There was a very crowded attendance, and Mr.
Wright seemed to have many sympathisers, by one of the
most liberal of whom—Mr. R. A Gray—the stone was laid.—
The following report of Mr. Spurgeon's speech is from the
Daily Telegraph :

I came here to-day to help a neighb-mr. The time
was when nobody would go inside any place of worship
unless he agreed with all that Was said and done there;
hut we have now come to rejoice in diversity of
operations where we can see that they are directed to
the service of the same Lord. I believe there is not
half as much ground for the anxiety people feel when
they look at the various denominations in the Church,
as they suppose. I have known one place in a town as
dead as death could be, and another place was opened,
and then both were filled. (Hear, hear.) For my
part, if Ned Wright or anybody else can run away
with my congregation—(a laugh)—they are uncom-
monly welcome; but it will take them all their
time, for I always think that if there is a new
coach put on the road the old coach should be horsed
better, so as to keep the customers. (Great laugh-
ter.) What we want to do is by some means to get
the great mass of cur people to hear the Gospel. I
am always hearing it said the great problem is to get
the working classes to listen to the Gospel. Ido not
believe that to be the problem at all, and I deny alto-
gether that the working classes of L-mdon attend leas at
the house of God than other classes in London. In
proportion to their numbers they attend as well as any
other class. At least that is my experience. People
come to the Tabernacle, and when they see the congre-
gation coming out they say no working classes go
there, because they would not be so well dressed. But
why should not a working man wear as good a suit of
clothes as he possibly can get? Do you expect that on
Sunday he would wear the same clothes in which
during the week he is bricklaying or carpentering, in
which he is up to his neck in dust or in which he
goes down a sewer? One of the first things I notice
abcut a man when he turns from his evil ways is that
he gets a decent suit of clothes, and if ever he bad such
a thing before 1 am afraid he was in the habit of leaving
them rather long at his uncle's. (Laughter,) I don't
believe any one in Europe could tell the difft r;nce be-
tween a workman in his best clothes and any other
swelL (Renewed laughter.) I suppose two-thirds of
my congregation at the Tabernacle are working men,
and wherever you have a vigorous, living church you
will find that the bulk of it is made up of the very men
whom it said to be the problem to get to go to the
house of God. There is a problem I should like to see

REVISION COURTS.

BROMSGROVE.—Mr. George Browne, the revising bar-
rister, held his court at the Golden Crops Hotel, on
Thursday morning, to revise the list of voters for the
eastern division of Worcestershire for the- parishes -61-
Bromsgrove, Grafton Warren, Stole Prior, and• Upton•
Warren. Mr. J. Blick and Mr. Taylor, Droitwich, with
Mr. J. Langton, Bromsgrove, attended on behalf of the
Liberal party ; the Conservatives being represented by
Mr. J. R. Horton, Mr. Johnson, Mr. H. Wright, and
Mr. Spofforth, from the office of Mr. Goldingham,
Worcester. There were a large number of objections,
yet not a single point of interest arose during the whole
of the revision, which has made but little difference in
the respective positions of the political parties. Mr. J.
A.. Smith, assistant overseer for Bromagrove, whose list
was a very heavy one, was complimented by the bar-
rister, and by the party representatives fcr the very
careful manner in which his lists had been prepared
and made*.out.
KIDDERIIINsTER.—Mt. W. F. F. Bou4hey held a
court, at Kidderminster, on Wednesday, for the revision
of the list of Parliamentary voters for that borough.
The court had been opened the previous evening. but
no one attended, and the proceeding yesterday were very
brief, the old system of fighting every contestable vote
having quite died out, There were no objections, and
only eight claims to be dealt with. One of these was
allowed,. and one failed to be sustained, the othefs
lapsing through the non-attendance of the persons con-
cerned.—Mr. Boughey afterwards revise I the district
lists of voters for West NI orcestershire.—Mr. W. H.
Talbot supported a claim by John Lewis Morgan for a
county voto in resi e t to property in the borough. It
appeared that Mr. Morgan rented, from two landlords,
two pieces of land in the borough, one with a building
on it (which gave a borough vote) and one without any
building on it, in respect to which the present claim was
made for a county vote. The only evidence was that of
the assistant overseer, and the Barrister, not being
satisfied with this, disallowed the vote. Mr. W. H.
Talbot and Mr. Everill, of Worcester, attended for the
Liberals; and Mr. W. A. Crowther and Mr. Friend for
the Conservatives.
WEST STAFFORD. —Mr. R. Sawyer, revising barrister,
held a court at the Stamford Arms Hotel, Enville, on
tS edneslity, for revising the lists of voters. Mr.
Fernie, of Stafford, and Mr. A. P. Price, solicitor,
Stourbridge, appeared for the Conservatives ; and ME.
Woodward (from the offices of Messrs. Rogers and
Jordan, solicitors, Stout-bridge). represented the Liberals.
The lists for the parishes of Upper Arley, Bobbington,
Enville, and Kiover were revised. For Upper Arley six
names were stru2k off, and one placed on; for Bobbing-
.
ton, one off; for Enville, nine off, and three on ; and
for Kinver, seventeen off, and twe:ye on. Total for the
four parisheax thirty-three off, and sixteen on.

ing loudly to be brought up, and that he struck

fendant 40s and costs; in default one month's im-

steer through. In the present quarter only one
of the nine sources from which the revenue of
TUNER
' the country is derived shows a falling-off—the
Income Tex ; two are unaltered ; and six exhibit.
an increase. Of the Income Tax, it may be re-
marked that the principal fear of any total
diminution of the Revenue for the financial
year is based upon the decrease in the receipts
from this tax, which has the disadvantage of not
being very popular. So far as we have gone,
however, there is not much to complain of in the
Revenue returns of the second quarter of the
current financial year. The fears which might
reasonably have been held a few months since,
have been considerably modified by the results
shown by the returns: Gloomy forebodings are
being dispelled, and there seem reasonable
hopes of such a revival in trade as shall restore
prosperity to many decaying industries. The
effects of the recent depresien have been felt in
every corner in England. It is to be hoped
that the coming prosperity will be equally
general in its results.

ATTACK UPON MISSIONARIES BY
CHINESE.

The North China Herald says :—" A few weeks ago
reports reached us of massacres in the province of
Szechuen, and now we hear of a mission station
established eight years ago by the Jesuits, sixty miles
to the south-west of Wuhu, being attacked, and one
priest—if not more—and several converts murdered.
From reliable sources we learn that the attack was
made on the 17th of July. A priest was at the altar
preparing to celebrate mass when the mob entered the
church. The priest was asked to kneel and pray for
his life,•and on refusing he was requested to take off
his vestments. This he likewise obj ea ted to do, where-
upon he was seized and horribly mutilated. The mob
then turned its attention to the body ol a priest vile
died three months ago, which was in a coffin In the
interior of the huilding. The remains were ruth-
letsly torn from the coffin and scattered about the
church, which was then ransacked and partially de-
molished. During the disturbance several converts
were murdered, but the exact number is at pre:ent un-
known. It is said that an adopted son of the priest
who was slain at the altar was put to death by the pro-
cess of disjointing his limbs, which were afterwards
torn literally to pieces, and that the deaths of some of
the converts were equally horrible. Besides the priest
killed, there are three others missing, and it is known
they were present at the time of the attack, but
whether they escaped or are numbered with the killed
Is a matter of doubt. The mission station, which was
the principle one belonging to the Jesuits in the dis-
trict, is represented as completely demolished. It is
rumoured that aboutsix months ago the Chinese authori-
ties were apprised of the fact that a bad feeling bad
generated among the natives towards the missionaries,
and a retired official in the district is said to have been
the cause ; but no steps were taken to place matters on
a more friendly footing."

PROVISION.

O Monday OA 2d.—The arrivals last week from
Irlard°l4, were 318 firkins Butter and 4,579 bales Bacon, and
from foreign ports 24,193 packages Butter, and 2,160 bales
Bacon. The supplies of foreign Butter continuing large,
prices have further declined—say Normandy 1205. to 1605.,
Brittany 112 s. to 1305., and best Ditch 1365. to 1425. In Irish
scarcely anything done, the very mild and wet weather much
against business. The Bacon market ruled very slow, and
prices of Irish declined 65 per cwt., and six-sided Hamburg
2s. • at the decline the market showed more steadiness.

LONDON, 113nday, Oct. 2 —Scarcely any English Clorerseed
yet offers for sale, and there was a halted supply of all
descriptions of foreign ; prices generally are tending
upwards, although, for want of supply, few transactions
are entered into. The finest Trefoil was held for an advance
of 2s. per cwt. Winter lares are more plentiful, and lower
prices are accepted White Mustardseed realised lest week's
currencies for the best dry parcel... No Diglish brown yet
appears. Prices in Rolland are held very high, beyond the
views of our large buyers. Canaryseed was in good request
at higher rates Grais-seeds of all sorts brought very full
prices. Dutch Ilempseed was fully as dear; fine qualities
held at 415. per qr. f.o.b. at Rotterdam.

A HINT TO RAILWAY COMPANIES.

A writer in the Garden describes a mode of turning
railway fences to account which is in we in Belgium
on the line between Brussels and Aix-la-Chapelle.
The fences consist of wooden poets four and a halt feet
high, connected by four lines of wire, across which
four long thin sticks are tied obliquely. In front of
and between each post are planted cordon apples and
pears, which are trained along the oblique sticks.
" The trces," says the writer, "appeared healthy,
and likely to be very productive." It is a little sur-
prising that no attempt ah(uld have been made to
row either fruit or vegetables on the tracts of land,
in the aggregate so large, which is occupied by rail-
way cuttings and embankments. It is true that
there would be a certain percentage of loss from
stealing; but, considering how little accessible
a railway often is except from the line and how likely

CRADLEY.

CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO DOGS.—At the Stourbridge
Police Court, at Stonrbridge yesterday, Charles Millward
and Eli Millward were eharged with cruelty to two dogs.
by urging them on to fight at Cradley, on the 16tli inst.
Mr. Collis defended. Police-constable Roe said that he
was on duty on the above date, and when near Messrs.
Harper and Moor's works he heard a noise of men and
dogs. Went to see what w s the matter when he saw on
the pit bank from 16 to 20 men. The two defend-
ants were in the middle of them urging them on to fight.
When he got up to the pit hank Charles caught one of
dogs by the tail and held it while the other dog worried
it. and then he picked the dog up and dashed it at him
(witness) as hard as he could. Both dogs were bleeding
and covered with dirt. Witness, in answer to Mr.- Collis,
said he was about sixty yards from them, and-he struck'
the dogs with his staff. Did:not cause them to bleed. He
told them not to urge on the dogs and that they would
hear of it again. Esther Hodgkiss, of the Lye, said she
was passing near Harper and Moore's works, and she
saw a number of men near the mouth of the pit, and
thought there was an accident, hut on getting near them
saw it was a dog fight. Saw the two defendants there
while the dogs were fighting. Charles had one of the
dog's tail in his hand. Could:not say how farlshe was from
them. Elijah Nokes also gave corroborative evidence.
Mr. Collis addressed the Bench for the defence. He con-
sidered it utterly impossible for a mai. to hold a dog by
the tail while it was being worried, and that neither of
the defendants urged the dogs on to fight. Alfred
William Turney, said that he was paying in the office,
which was a few yards from where the dogs were fighting.
Charles Millward was not present when the dogs began
to fight. After they had been fighting some time
Charles caught one of the dogs by the tail for the pur-
pose of parting the dogs. Neither of the defendants
urged the dogs on to fight. The Bench said there was
some doubt about it, and should give the defendants the
the benefit of the doubt, and dismissed the case.

LYE.

ASSAULT CASE.-At the Stourbridge Police Court, yes.
teiday, Eliza Skelding was charged with assaulting
Elizabeth Pope. on the 29th nit. Mr. Collis appeared
for complainant who said she met defendant and asked
her why she had sent her daughter to fight her son,
when defendant picked a stone out of the gutter and
struck her on the head with it, inflicting a severe bruise.
Defendant afterwards struck her on the face. Matilda
Mobberley said she heard a noise and on going to the
door she saw them both fighting. Defendant had a
stone in her band and she struck complainant several
times. Eliza Skelding then charged Elizabeth Pope
and David Pope With assaulting her on the same day.—
Mr. Collis defended.—Complainant said she lived at the
Lye. • On the above date she saw the two defendants as
she was going down the street. She had hold of a child
in one hand and a milk can in the other. The female
defendant told her child to fgo and give it the little
bastard, with that David Pope caught hold ox her by
the hair of her head and told his wife to give it her,
if she did not ' he would give it her, and defendant
struck her several tinsea and pulled a quantity of hair,out
ofsher heed. She did not strikeagain or hit Mrs. Pope with
a stone. David Pope struck her on the nose and made
bleedepinliam Chaim we' called to Pupped the

ease, and Maria Tipton and Matilda Mobberley for the
defence, who said that Pope did nothing.—The Bench
decided to bind over both the women in one surety of
£lO each, and themelves in £5 to keep the peace for
I.x months.

A FRENCH PATRIOT.

A subscription has just bean raised at Bougival for
the purpose of raising a monument to Francis Debergue,
a gardener of that commune, who was shot by the
Prussians on the 26th of September, 1870. S3MO days
after Paris had closed her gates the 46th Regiment of
Prussian Infantry took up its quarters at Bougival,
and the colonel's first care was naturally enough to
establish telegraphic communication with Versailles.
Day after day, however, the wires were found to
have been cut by an invisib!e enemy. Suspicion
lighted on Debergue, who at once acknow-
ledged himself the author of the mischief. He
had done it "because the Prussians were his enemies,
and he was &Frenchman. "Would he do it again ?"asked
the president of the court. martial before which Debergue
was summoned, to which the poor fellow replied that he
certainly should. He was condemned to death, and it
was in vain that the inhabitants of Bougival collected a
sum of 10,0001., and offered it to the Prussian com-
mander as the ransom of Debergne's life. Dsbergne
himself entreated his friends to make no effort on his
behalf. "If he were released be should cut the
wires again to-morrow," The German officer who
commanded the platoon at the execution seemed much
affected, and was heard several times to mutter the
word " pattiotisme " with a Teutonic accent. Such is
the tale or legend, for one can never forget that the
genius of great people may be inventive; and many
Frenchmen to this day repeat the story of how the
Vengeur went down in the battle of the let of June
sooner than strike her colours, and how officers and
men stood on the deck as she foundered, shouting,
"Vice la R4publique " whereas history relates that
the officers were busy lunching with their captors at
the time the Vengeur sank, and the crew were being
picked up in English bat.—Pall Malt Gazette.

CHARGE AGAINST A BANK MANAGER.

On Wednesday, Mr. John Bradstreet, the man-
ager of the Witney branch of the London and
County Bank, was taken before Mr. Southby, a
a eounty magistrate, at Witney, on charge of
embezzlement. It appeared from the evidence of
Mr. H. J. Lemon; inspector of the London and
County Banking Company, that on the 26th of
June last Messrs. Shillingford, brewers, of Witney
paid into the bank at Witney the sum of £125. 10s.,
consisting of £6O. in money, £5O. in notes, and
£l5, 10s, in cheques. Mr. Bradstreet received this
amount and made the entry himself in the pass-
book of Messrs. Shilling-ford, but did not make
any entry in the books or ledger of the bank. On
Thursday, the 28th ult., the inspector, on examin-
ing the books, found this out, and Mr. Bradstreet
then handed to him a red bag, containing the
notes, cheques, and six half-sovereigns; together
with the credit paper. On being asked for an
explanation, he at once admitted that he had taken
the difference (a balance of £57.) and appropriated
it to his own private purposes. The accused was
committed for trial at the Oxford Quarter Sessions
' bail being fixed at £2,400.—a personal surety
.of
£1,000., and two of £7OO. sack.

THE GROWTH OF THE ENGLISH
•
LANGUAGE.
Few scholars even are aware of the great changes throngh
which the English langnsge has passed in successive centuries
(remarks the 'ictorica World). Following are specimens of
the Lord's Prayer as used at various periods in English his-
tory :

D 1158.—Fader ur in heune, haleweide beith thi

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

COVENTRY, Friday.

The London and North-Western Railway was
obstrucled this morning between Coventry and
Birmingham by an accident to a goods train. At
about eight o'clock, when near to Berkswell, the
engine to the Ashbury goods train blew out its
cylinder. The train could not proceed, and dur-
ing the time the down line was blocked the traffic
had to be conducted on the up line. Several tvains
were .delayed in consequence, but no serious dam-
age was done.
