forces in the Dominion on the departure of
Sir Hastings Doyle, five years ago.. He en-

mel, 9th December, 1850; colonel, 2Sth No

1870; lieutenant general, 26th May, 1878;
and was appointed colonel of the 47th then

ber, 1875. Besides ten active years in India,
he served in the Crimea during 1S54-5. At
the battle of the Alma he had his charger

The difference between the two Pacific
Railroad bills now pending in the Senate is
this: The Thurman compels companies to
carry out the provisions of their charters,
which require them to provide sinking fund
made up of half of the amount paid by the
government for the transportation of troops,
mails, ETC., and five per cent. of the net earn
iDgs of the road, and further makes provis.
ions for the most comprehensive protection
against the manipulation of the accounts of
the companies to prevent the accumulation
from this source. These accounts, when
the bonds mature, will be sufficient to pay
the principal and the interest already paid by
the government. The Dorsey bill, OF which
Jay Gould IS the putative father, provides for
the payment of the interest and $4,000 900 of
the principal in 1900, leaving over $50. 100000
of the capital unpaid at the maturity of the
bonds. After the maturity of the bonds the
interest is to substantially stop aud the prin-
cipal is to be paid by the means of semi-an-
nual payments of one-iftieth of the amount,
and annually compounded interest thereon,
which at the end of twenty-five years after
the maturity OF the bonds, or in 1925, will be
sufficient to reimburse the government the
amount it has been compelled to pay for
these companies.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OGDEN naturally
enough is not pleased at the failure of his
attempt to shut up the members of the Re-
turning Board in prison and betrays his vex-
alton by telling the Supreme Court in legal
formula that they have been meddling with
something that is none of their BUSINESS. 1t
is hardly probable that that body will be of
the same opinion.

THE annual Indian campaign seems likely
to set in earlier than usual. There appears
to be pretty good evidence that some 5000 or
5000 warriors are collected near the Canadian
border ready to fight any body of whites they
may chance to come across. They have
plenty of ammunition obtained from traders.
1t is devoutly to be wished that the men who
supply them with rifles and powder may be
the first to feel their effects.

Reasons Why All Should Use the
ReactiOnary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man woman in every walk of life. 1t
furnishes exercise which may and should be in
troduced into every house; which may be practiced
at all seasons in all kinds of weather, by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who investigate thoroughly, it,
and consider it invaluable and indispensable 1t is
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine discovered. No claim is set up tor it
which is unscientfc or impracticable.
GeneraI.-It is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. No harm ever came from its use. 1t strains
portion OF the system 1t directs the vital forces
to the affected parts By its use the health is easily
maintained. The purchase of Reactionary Litter
is the best kind of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain 1t invigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders it more active
and efficient in all it's operations,
steep.-It is the simplest and safest narcotic It
is the most natural and probably the best means o
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves.-It is a wonderful tonic to the whole
nervous system. 1t is most eficaeious remedy in
paralysis if taken in time.
Lungs, Throat and Voice.-It gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chests en-
larges the lungs; increases the volume of respira-
ton, and brings the voice fully under control
As preventive and cure OF lung diseases it has no
equal.
Exercise-Iti is the most perfect exercise for man
or woman, furnishing the best form of physical
culture and development in the safest, easiest,
better than the gymnasium, and free from its
dangers; cheaper than the saddle; less laborious
than boating, and infinitely better than drugs in a
majority of chronic diseases. 1t rounds and hardens
