ous advertised remedies, all of which failed, I pt ocnred
a, large bottle of your Blood Mixture, and received great
benefit directly I took it, and am happy to tell you that
one large and two small bottles completely cured me, and
I have not got a sore upon me. I sin now able to walk

CRUELTY TO A CAT.

In London, at the Southwark Police-court, James
Martin, 26, a medical man, living at 40, Trinity-
square, Borough, was charged with cruelly torturing
and killing a cat by setting a dog on it. Agnes
Moore, living in the Southwark-bridge-road, said that
between twelve and one o'clock that morning she was
going along Gravel-lane towards home when she saw
a cat run across the street. The prisoner was coming
along with a terrier dog, and as soon as he saw the
cat he set the dog after it. The dog seized hold of
the cat and worried it, the prisoner standing looking
on all the time. The witness called out to him "You
brute, why don't you pull the dog off." He, how-
ever, took no notice, and the dog continued to worry
the cat until it was killed. Police-constable 180 M
said he was on duty in Union-street that morning
when he heard a woman screaming in Gravel-lane.
He ran round the corner and saw a terrier dog
worrying a cat, and the prisoner standing near. Wit-
ness knocked the dog off, and took the cat up; it
died in a few seconds. From what the last witness
said he took the prisoner into custody. He said the
dog did not belong to him. The prisoner, in answer
to the charge, said the dog belonged to a person who
lodged in the house. He took the dog out, and saw
it seize the cat, but was unable to part them. He
denied setting the dog on the cat. Mr. Bridge said
the prisoner was very cruel, and ordered him to pay
a line of 40s.

So INCONSISTENT.—[A Parliamentary Return of the
cost of military head-dresses, asked for by the advo-
cates of the feather bonnet, has just been issued.]—

can't be bought under £2 13s. 6d., and you begrudge
your wife a bonnet that costs only a paltry pound—

THE SCLTDAN.

In the HOUSE OF COMMONS the Marquis of Harting-
ton explained, in answer to Baron H. de Worms, that
his recent statements in regard to the Red Sea ports
was not that it was intended to hold any of the Red
Sea ports, but was to the effect that the Government
had from the first announced their intention to assist
the Egyptian Government in the protection of the
ports on the coast of the Red Sea. Her Majesty's
Government, he added, had made no proposal to hand
over the Red Sea ports to the Porte. Questioned by
Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett and Baron 13. de Worms with
regard to the Government and Khartoum and the
Soudan, the noble lord declined to give any further
information upon the subject at present, but repeated
that the Government would make a full statement as
soon as they were in a position to do so.
Replying to Sir H. D. Wolff, the Marquis of Har-
tington stated that the Admiralty had telegraphed tc,
Admiral Hewett asking whether it was true that a
proclamation had been issued offering a reward for
the capture of Osman Digna alive or dead, and point-
ing out that a proclamation of such a character ought
not to be put forth without communication with Sir E.
Baring.

MILITARY SERVICE.
On going into Supply, Sir G. Campbell moved a reso-
lution in favour of a system of military organization
which would provide for two distinct classes of soldiQrs
—short service men to stay at home and form a
Reserve, and long service men to form an army for
India and our foreign possessions.
Lord Hartington dissented altogether from the sug-
gestion; but pointed out that a mixed system of
recruiting had been established as an experiment of
which it would be as well to see the working.
After a short discussion, the motion was ne-
gatived.

TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF A FROST.
BITTEN CREW.

The Liverpool steamer Mentmore, which sailed
from the Mersey on the 13th ult., for Baltimore:was
instrumental in saving the whole of the crew of the
American vessel Jacob Kienzle, though not before the
men had undergone terrible sufferings from hunger
and frostbite. According to the information to hand
it seems that the Jacob Kienzle, whilst going from
New Orleans to New York, encountered a terrific gale,
which caused her to spring a leak. The men worked
at the pumps till the water gained on them, until at
last the vessel became water-logged. It was off Cape
Henry where the disaster overtook the vessel. At
last there were but a few inches of the vessel's bul-
warks above the water, and the crew were forced to
take to the rigging. They remained hero for two
days and two nights, enduring most intense suffering.
The weather WM bitterly cold, and as the spray was
blown on to the poor fellows it immediately froze.
When one day in the rigging the men saw a
steamer bearing down to them, but when only
half a mile off she passed. Their cry of hope was
turned to one of despair as they shouted in vain
at the top of their voices for the vessel to succour
them. The captain says he distinctly saw people on
deck, so near was the steamer to him. He also said
it was an American steamer. The time which passed
after this was one unbroken spell of suspense, the
poor fellows hourly expecting their floating wreck to
founder. On the following day, when their sufferings
seemed to reach a culminating point, a steamer hove
in sight. After their previous experience the men
scarcely dared hope that rescue was at hand; but the
steamer's head was suddenly seen to turn in the
direction of where they were. The steamer, which
proved to be the Mentmore, launched a lifeboat and
took the men from their perilous position. All of
the poor fellows were more or less frost-bitten, but
received every kindness from Captain Amlot and his
crew. The rescue was performed not a moment tO3
soon, as the helpless craft was seen to disappear in
twenty_minutes, after the men were taken off. The
crew were landed at Baltimore, and arrived at New
York on the 4th inst.

ME. GLADSTONE'S HEALTIL—The following report
was made ly Sir A. Clark on Monday: "Mr. Gladstone
is still suffering from laryngeal catarrh, and requires
rest to the voice, as well as general care." According
to appointment, Mr. 0. M. Paimez, , M.P., visited
Downing-street on Monday to place the views of the
shipping interest with regl.rd to the Merchant Shipping
Bill before the Prime Minister. He was received by
Sir Andrew Clark, who .informed .him that Mr. Glad-
stone had completely lost his voice. The inteyyiew was
then postponed. Mr. Gladstone's indisposition last
week was more severe than was generally believed.

KIDDERMINSTER.

THE BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—Mr. J. Brinton,
MP., presided at the fortnightly meeting of the
Guardians on Tuesday.—A sum of £3 is td was
voted to three of the nurses in the house as a
gratuity for extra work ckme by them in consequence
of the late small-pox epidemic, and £2 was given
to Mr. Hancocks, coffin maker, in acknowledgement
of his services in connection with the same epi.
demic.—The Clerk stated that £2OO had been re-
ceived from the guarantors of the late defaultino•
rate collector at Lower Mitton. Thera was still L'a
sum due from the Overseers of the parish on ac-
count of the late calls of £l9l us Bd. He bad
written and asked the Overseers to pay that money
but they had not replied to his letter. In the course
of the discmtsion that followed the Clerk stated that
the Overseers were bound to pay the money, but he
declined to give any opinion a 3 to whether they
coul.l get it from the ratepayers or not. The Clerk
was eventually instructed to write to the Overseers
telling them that legal proceedings would be taken
by the Board to recover the amount owing from
them if it were not paid shortly.—A list of the at-
tendances of the Guardians for the past year was
read. Mr. Milnes headed it with 21, and Mr. Boy-
cott was next with 23 and Mr. Binnion with 21
attendances.—Some tenders for meat, flour, milk,
&c., were accepted,—A. certificate for £5OO on ac-
count of the buildings at the Worktouse was signed.
This makes a total of £5,250 that has been already
paid to this account.

VALUES OF PEARLS.

Although a pearl weighing one grain is worth only
about one-eighth of the price cf a diamond of the
same weight, it is very easy to spend a large amount
of money for pearl jewellery (remarks an American
journal.) There is now in New York city a pearl
necklace worth $lOO,OOO. There is another worth
$23,000, and one was recently sold for $30,000.
These large prices are caused by the difficulty of
obtaining particular sizes and colours that may be
wanted. The most expensive collection of pearls on
record is that owned by the Countess of Dudley in
England, which is far more valuable than the cele-
prated pearls belonging to the Queen. The countess
has a coronet of pearls. The top is composed of pear-
shaped pearls. There is a very largo one in the
centre, and the others are graduated in size down to
the smallest. In order to get these pear-shaped
pearls in the requisite sizes and colours,
the jewellers were obliged to buy such an
enormous quantity of pearls that when the famous
necklace was completed, with earrings, bracelets,
brooch, and finger rings to match, the jewellers had
$300,000 worth of odd pearls left A pair of matched
pear-shaped pearls weighing 110grs. was recently sold
in San Francisco for $6OOO. When the Princess
Royal of England married Frederick William of
Prussia she received a necklace of thirty-two pearls,
costing $93,000. In 1789 the French Government
possessed pearls valued at $200,000. One that weighed
108grs. was valued at $37,000; two that were pear-
shaped were valued at $55,800. The black pearls
bring very high prices at present, out genuine pearls
may be bought that are white, pink, or grey. The
peculiar colour which is called pearl is a soft trans-
parent drab. There is at present a greater demand
for pearls, as there is, in fact, for all kinds of jewel-
lery, than has been known for a long time. The
plentifulness of imitations does not appear to destroy
tin yaluc Qf the gepine article. .


AMERICA AND THE CATTLE DISEASE.

The New York correspondent of the Standard
states that the cattle disease is attracting more atten-
tion, but it is disputed whether what has broken out
there is the genuine foot-and-mouth-disease. The
Secretary, of State has sent to Mr. Hatch, of the
House of Representatives, a letter from Mr. Russell
Lowell, the Minister in London, in which the latter
declares the disease to be prevalent in England, that
its existence is used as a political weapon, and that
he absolute exclusion of live cattle is urged by the
Protectionists and the farmers' friends with the
"thinly-veiled object" of raising the price of English
meat. This is a singular parallel with Mr. Sargent's
letter regarding the German exclusion of pork, the
indiscreet publication of which was the beginning of
his unpopularity in Germany.

THE SALVATION ARMY IN LONDON.

In London on Monday a series of well-attended
meetings presided over by " General " Booth was
held at Exeter Hall to celebrate the third anniver-
zary of the army in France. Miss Booth, in giving an
account of what had been done on the Continent for
the evangelisation of the people, said that notwith-
standing the persecution and opposition she and her
fellow workers had met in Switzerland, the Salvation
Army had not only maintained its footing there but
was spreading, the demand for officers beinggreaterthan
the supply, and no power on earth or in hell could
stop the good work that had been commenced from
going forward. As to the work in France great pro-
gress had been made in Paris, where during the past
twelve months a series of the most successful Sunday
afternoon meetings had been held at a hall in the
Boulevard des Capuchines. Her plan was to work
France through the villages taking officers with her
who had received some special training for the mission,
and thus the truth would be spread north, south,
east, and west. Addresses were also delivered by
Pasteur Vernier of Valence, M. Convert of Neuchatel,
and others, who had taken a practical interest in the
work on the Continent.

At the evening meeting " General " Booth made
some remarks as to the present position of the army.
The success which had attended its efforts was, he
said, a surprise to everybody, even to the Salvationists
themselves, and owing to the movement there had
been added in the metropolis during the last two years
upwards of 29,000 sittings in various buildings where
evangelising meetings were held. Arrangements
had been made for the opening of a new
hall in Marylebone tr; accommodate 3800
persons, and they were converting an old
chapel in the Borough into a hall which would be
ready probably in a fortnight's time. In addition to
this, steps had been taken to secure a building at
Penge and negotiations were going on to acquire the
rink at Norwood. In the provinces, too, they had
not been idle, having just taken a music hall in Sun-
derland, which was said to be the largest in the North
of England.
At the conclusion of each of the meetings a col-
lection was made; and on finally leaving the hall a
procession was formed outside which, accompanied by
the band, marched down the Strand and Fleet-street,
followed by a large crowd.

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE. •
At Mark-lane the wheat trade was exceedingly dell, aril
transactions were only of retail extent, at uric a for thei
most part in favour of buyers. Flour is very quiet, and tl3e
sales not of sufficient, extent to affect quotations. Barley
though not in large demand was fairly steady in value on
the spot Beans and peas bare been in good demand.
Smyrna beans quoted 308 to 30s 6d ; Egyptian, us to

FLIGHT OF OSMAN DIcNA.
FAILURE OF THE HOLY WAR.

FATE OF THE ARABS WOUNDED
AT TAMAI. •

SUAKIN, Thursday Afternoon.
In pursuance of instructions from the home
authorities, A.dmiral Hewett to-day issued a notice
withdrawing the reward which he recently caused
to be offere,l for the capture of Osman Digna dead
or alive. The Admiral adds that in future no
money reward will be offered.
_

An-other Egyptian s Adier who escaped the
massacre at Sinkat came into camp to•day. He
reports that Digna has two hundred wounded
with him. None of the Aheiks had left him.
He had asked all the tribes to meet him to-morrow
for the purpose of making arrangements for the
renewal of the fighting. These statements have
been confirmed by a spy who came in to-day.
&ABM, Thursday Evening.

It has been decided to reinforce the camp a
Handouk. Two batteries of artillery and the lOth
Hussars will therefore leave this place for the
wells to-morrow morning. The Hussars, however
will return to Suakim the same evening.

CAPTURE OF BAC NIICH BY THE
FRENCH.

General Alillot, the Commander-in-Chief in
Tonquin, telegraphs from Phang Hao, under date of
the 12th inst., the following account of the capture of
Bac Ninh :

"We marched this morning on Bac Ninh. The
first brigade, proceeding by way of Chi, carried in
brilliant fashion the heights of Tsung Son, which
were defended by five separate fortifications. The
second brigade, supported by the flotilla, carried
rapidly the defences of Vat Buoi and the dam at Lao
Buoi, and then went resolutely in pursuit of the
enemy up to the heights of Dap Cau, where it took up
a position. The combined movements and all the
operations in detail succeeded perfectly. The enemy,
finding their position completely turned, took to
flight. In spite of extraordinary physical difficulties
the troops marched admirably.
The French Minister of Marine also received the
following telegram from General Millot, dated
Haiphong: " In consequence of the fighting on the
12th inst. the enemy is in full retreat. The ex-
peditionary force entered Bac Ninh at six o'clock that
evening."

Under date Ba-cninb, March-13, the correspondent
of the Times writes: I arrived here with General
Millott's column. General Negrier entered the citadel
at eight o'clock last night.
The whole day was spent in capturing the fortifica-
tions, which extended for miles, and included forts.
pagodas, and villages, armed with jingals and old
cannon. The construction of the works was excel-
lent.
The Chinese fought well, but the fall of the place
was never doubtful. The citadel was captured with-
out firing a shot. It contained six Krupps (unused),
a Chinese mitraillease, and a quantity of flags and
arms.
The French loss was slight; the enemy's cannot be
computed. The garrison fla lin disorder to the west
and north.

DUDLEY FREE LIBRARY.

On Monday evening the Netherton and Wood-
side branches of the Dudley Free Library were
opened. At Netherton the ceremony was performed
by Mr. B. Hingley, who congratulated the inhabit
ants of the district upon the establishment of the
institution, which, he said, removed a want that
had long been 'felt. If they succeeded in carry-
ing on the branch provision would before long, Mr.
Hingley said, have to be made for something more
substantial—(cheers). The Mayor said he should
look back upon the opening of the Free Library and
its branches as one of the most pleasing incidents in
connection -with his mayorality. He was sure the
Free Library Committee had acted towards the
people as generously as their funds would allow.
The meeting was also addressed by the Rev. S. J.
Marriott, Councilk.rs Round and W. I% Walker,
Alderman Dunn, Messrs. T. Ashton, Northall, Ful-
leylove, Warlaam, and Griffiths. A vote of thanks
to Mr. Ifingley concluded the proceedings.—At
Woodside the opening ceremony was performed by
Alderman J. Garratt (chairman of the Free Library
CommiLtee), who congratulated the inhabitants on
the advancement and establishment of such an in-
stitution showed, and advhed them to make good
use of the means of improvement placed at their
disposal. Other gentlemen addressed the meeting
Each of these branches consists of a room in a house
utilised as a reading room, with newspapers, maga
zines, and periodicals, and it is hoped that at a not
far distant date the Free Library funds will enable
them to have branch lending libraries attached.
