LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Daily News
states that the channel squadron has been
ordered south to Vigo, but whether it will
proceed further than to Gibraltar and the
Mediterranean, or return home after a
cruise, will depend upon instructions which
are to await its arrival in Spain.
A Vienna correspondent OF the Times
hears from Constantinople that reinforce
ments are daily arriving and being imme-
diately dispatched to Adrianople.
The Times Bucharest correspondent,
reviewing the situations, says he thinks the
panic in Roumania groundless. The
Plevna defeat will certainly be retrieved.
Discussing the Russian chance of holding
positions in the Balkans, if obliged to re-
tire to them, the Times correspondent, who
recently passed through Schipka pass, ,stel-
fortified, and there are already within it
many trains of provisions and forage,
Prince Miroky and Gen. Gourko might
hold it for fortnight on full rations, or
longer on short rations.

ADEL1EA PATHS SEPARATION FROM

PARIS, August 4. 4.-AdeIiua PATHS case
has been decided Both the lady aud her
husband had 6ied applications for judicial
separation. Madame PATHS application
was refused. Her husbands was granted.
The sentence states that Madame Patti
does not even offer to bring forward any
proofs of facts she alleges. On the other
hand the documents placed before the
tribunal, particularly correspondence, ad
dressed to Madame Patti by third person,
shows that her conduct did the gravest in-
jury to her husband. The court. therefore,
pronounces against her petition for a separ-
alton Of body and goods, and condemns her
to pay the costs. AS divorce is uDrec-
ognized by the French law neither party
can marry again. The sitting was public.
The Marquis De Caux was present. The
decision was rendered by the tribunal on

How INDIANS CLIMB TREEs.-In Sor

How INDIANS CLIMB TREEs.-In South
America even the weakest women may
be not uncommonly seen plucking the
fruit at the tree tops. If the bark is so
smooth and slippery that they cannot go
up by climbing, they use other means.
They make hoop of wild vines, and
putting their feet inside they use it as a
support in climbing. The negro of the
west coast of Africa makes larger hoop
around the tree, and gets inside it, and
Jerks it up the tree with his hands, lit
tie at the time, drawing his legs up after
it. The Tahitian boys tie their feet to-
gether, four or five inches apart, with a
piece of palm bark, and with the aid of
this felter go up the cocoa palms to
gather nuts. The native women of Aus
tralia climb the gum trees after opossums
where the bark is rough they chop holes
with a Ratchet, then one throws about
the tree rope twice as long as will go
around it, puts her Ratchet on her
cropped head, and, placing her feet
against the tree and grasping the rope
with her hands, she bitches it up by
jerks, and pulls herself up the enormous
trunk almost as fast as man will climb
a ladder.

To Render the Liver Active

When that important secrctive gland re-
quires arousing, it is only requisite to resort
remedy for inactivity of the bilious organ
for constipation, and for dyspepsia, besides
those malarious disorders to which torpidity
of the liver predisposes person. Far more
surely does this celebrated nti-bilious cor
dial accomplish curative result than mer-
curry or any other mineral drug used to cure
liver disorders. In fact, such medcaments
cannot fairly be called remedies, since, al
though they may have a temporary effect,
they eventually fail to influence the system
remedially, but instead often do it serious in
jury. The Bitters, on the contrary, are a
specific of the most salutary nature, and are
likewise reliable and agreeable tonic, ap-
petizer and nervine.

HARD TIMEs.-For the past three
years we have heard little else in COM
mercial circles but complaints and COM
ments on the hard, dull times, and while
theories have been abundant as to causes,
theirauthors fail to tell US when there is
to come change for the better. A gen.
tleman Of our acquaintance said few
days since that he had over three hun
dred thousand dollars which was paying
him only two per cent. per annum. But"
said he, lean any one tell me where can
safely invest it at better ratesa" The
shrinkage in the value of real estate has
made capitalists even mistrust and avoid
loaning money on mortgages, a kind Of
security which was formerly considered
to be one Of the best. The whole nation
seems to be taking rest after the excit-
ing race in which all took part during
the war, and this Is the only explanation
we can give of the present hard times.
