italian Ideals

Such was the topic of Rev Asa Dalton's
fifth Saturday Lecture.
After referring to the fact the mountains
serve as protection, as well as the cause for hos
tilities between nation, the speaker said they
had served the former purpose with Italy,
country that was civilized, when all other ma
tions were barbareus, and had the loftiest
ideals.
The italian cities were mainly industrial, de-
voted to the useful and fine arts and commerce
The civic or political, ideal, that created them
also created middle class that grew to great
wealth and influence. This acquisition OF
wealth was the second ideal of these cities, and
was made subservient to a third ideal-the ar
chitectural and artistic establishment OF these
cities. The cultivation of the tine arts placed
italy at the head of all nations. The works OF
her artists are the country's mausoleums and
monuments. In music the Italians surpassed
all but the Germans. In literature. especially
poetry they occupy no secondsplace In SCI
ence their annals shine with great lustre, and
now popular education is the object Of the
country's solicitude. The Pspacy has served
to divide the country and keep it back from its
true ideal of political unity until now When
fully attained Italy will have a future more
glorious than the past has been. The sharply
divided classes of society, and the ignorant
peasantry have evils fraught with danger for
Italy. The conflict between the conservative
and liberal elements will soon cause new pol.
lev to arise which may cause great trouble. III
France is called upon to restore the temporal
power of the Pope, the government will resist,
allying itself with Germany, an alliance, the
fear of which may prevent the carrying out OF
the programme.

Neglect cold, and severe suffering is the result
Some say, 'sIon't use medicine, and it viii soon
wear away" That may bring about the desired re-
suit in some: but very few have sufficient physical
strength to throw off severe cold without the aid
of some good balsam, and we should certainly rec
ommend something of the kind. One of tie best
ever introduced to the pubic is Dr. Graves Balsam
of Wild Cherry and Tar a preparation long known
for the speedy and certain relief of coughs, colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, &C. The pecu-
liar combination of wild cherry and tar with other
pleasant and soothing ingredients makes it easy

Murderous Assault.

Saturday afternoon q party of sailors were
playing cards for the drinks in a saloon at the
foot of India street. During the game dis
pute arose and after considerable loud talk
they went out on the street to ''settle it," One
of the fellows, named William Thompson,
hailiug from Calais. drew his sheath knife and
brandished it over his head. The proprietor
of the saloon at the same tinae stepped out of
his door and up to the man with the remark,
"What arc you going 70 do with that knfe?"
and at the same time drew off and struck
Thompson full in the face, knocking him into
the gutter. Thompson arose from the gutter
in fury of passion and rushed back to the
sidewalk fiourisbipg his knife, but the assail-
ant and the rest of The party had cleared out
after the blow was struck. Mr.. John Kelly,
hoseyer, respectable man and boiler maxi
er by trade at the Portland Company's, was
coming up the street from the Grand Trunk
depot and arrived near the scene of the affray
Just al Thompson reached the sidewalk, and
upon him the drunken fellow vented his fury.
He struck him with the sheath knife, the
blade cutting a cash three inches long in the
abdomen, and penetrating to the intestines.
Mr.. Kelly was taken to DIR. Merrili's house and
his wound dressed, nine stitches being taken in
it. He was comfortable yesterday but the
doctor says it will be several days before he
can foretell the result.
Thompson was arrested by officer Burpham
and denies the whole affair. saying he had no
knife and never cut q man in his life.
