0h,MyBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world Of
meaning. How much SUI
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: "Myw;fe
has for many years been trou.
blcd from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
ard I can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy Of many nedi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT
TIERS. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.

Funeral of Dr.. James P. spla1n.

The esteem in which the late Dr. James P.
 Splain was held brought together large throng of mourners to the funeral services
 which were held on his remains yesterday morning in St. Mary's church. A solemn
 high mass of requiem was celebrated, Rev.
 Father McGivepy, who had been ccnstart t
 attendant at the bedside of deceased dur ing his last illness and who entertained for
 him warm friendship dating back to the
 college days they had spent together, being the officiating clergyman. He was assisted
 by Rev. Father Cooney of St. John's church
 as deacon and Rev. Father Moore, of South ington, as subdeacon. Father Labor was master of ceremonies. The music was rem dered by trio composed of Miss Mary SuI- ivan, Mir. John Landry, late of Detroit but now of this city, and MT. David Callahan. Messrs. Brennan, Stack and ONeil also lent their voices to portions of the mass. At the offertory Mir. Landry sang with deep feeling that beautiful selection by Tours, Passing
 Bells" MT. Landry had been 8 warm per-
 sonal friend of the deceased, and 8 wish by him in his last illness was filled by the ren- dering of this selection. There was depth of feeling in the melody of MT. Landry's
 magnificent voice that told it's own story of
 the ties that existed between them. Aneth- CT wish of the deceased found expres- | sion in the absence of floral tributes. After | the sbsolution had been given Miss Sullivan, ! Mr. Landry and MT. Callahan sang 'tRest, spirit, rest" Father McGiveny paid touch | ing tribute to the departed, recalling some of ! the many virtues and excellent qualities | which had endeared him toshis college associ- | ates and others whom he attracted to himself
 in the daily walks of life. The remains were
 escorted by long cortege of mourners to their last resting place in St. Bernard s | cemetery where they were laid to rest beside
 sister and father who had preceded him to their last home within the short space of a | twelvemonth. The pail bearers were Attor- ney Hugh Daley, Dr. Doherty, Dr. Cremin, Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Reilly and pr. Luby

Ten years ago, Prof. Zeiger while experimenting with artificial magnets, discovered that when such the bodies rabbits other small animals results were obtained by them which might have an impor- art of healing Professor zeiaer for instance dis covered that when the animals heart held in the

Bad Prospects for Wheat.

It is stated by trustworthy authority that there has never been 8 worse prospect for the wheat crop in these islands at this season of the year than there is at present. The very serious consequences involved in this antici- patton can hardly be overestimated. There is no branch of British trade, enterprise, and commerce, no department of our social life, upon which agricultural depression does not exercise 8 powerful, if not paramount, infu- encs. Every industry in the country is af- fected directly or indirectly by the we'll l-being or the reverse of the landed and farming in- terest and to the seven more or less unfavor- able harvests which we have had since 1876,
 inclusive of that year. It appears more than
 probable at this moment that an eighth is about to be added. The stars in their course have, in fact, fought against the British farm CT for so many seasons that not few are be- ginning to give up all hope. One of the most sagacieus land agents in the West of England has lately written that s'rents in this neighbor- hood have now settled down finally at re- duction of from Is to 20 per cent, and I do
 not think there is any general discontent on that head; but the constant wet takes away what chance farmers may have of growing
 oats and barley at profit from deficiency of yield and expense of harvesting. At 5s. a
 busheI of wheat, of course, will not pay. Un- less, however, we are soon to have the blessing of dry springs and hot summers once more do not see future either for tenants or land

A Novel Headins.

Attention is called on our second page to what must be considered novel heading, Magnetism, Rabbits Science, Wllsonia." :" It certainly would be very interesting to learn the incipiency of other valuable inven- tions propelled by the same power. We would be far from feeling that they were evolved upon the world by an accident, but for some wise reasons have been hidden in the past, probably waiting for science to grapple with what the common mind would have passed over, and hence, as Mir. Ives thinks and seems very sanRuine in his belief, that the Wilsonia is the most valuable inven- ton which science has given to this age, be- cause in treating chronic disease it has inter- posed between life and death, and in hun dreds of cases rescued the victor after medi- cines had proved utterly futile. We under stand that the Wilsonia company intend in the future to fill their allotted space with 8 series of scientific and common sense explan- ations of magnetism as curative of chronic disease. We suggest that our readers cut them from their columns and preserve them

 lords" Unpleasant and discouraging as the prospect may be 1t cannot be ignored. Indeed, the signs of the times were the subject of much general and alarmed conversation in Marklane and other agricultural haunts and markets on Saturday last, that it were vain to prophecy smooth things, or, in Sir Richard Steeies words, ''to play upon the flute when we ought to be blowing the alarm trumpet. The proportion of land sown thu$far in wheat was probably not more than two-thirds of the usual acreage devoted down to the end of Jan uary to that cereal in these islands. Since then the weather has been so consistently wet that the planting of wheat has been almost entirely checked, and it will soon be too late for farmers to feel any inclination to SOW It at all, except in those comparatively few dis tricts where spring varieties are usually suc- cessful The incessent rain has in many pla- ces routed the seed as it lay in the saturated ground, and the slugs favored by moisture have deveured not little of the buried grain
