given up to die by some Of the best physi-

worse and worse until at last / was confined TO my

for many years previous 10 this, and would quite
often have severe pain in my breast if took the

night sweats so severe that my bed through the
night would be as wet as though water had been
thrown over me. / was continually raising blood
and large quantities of offensive matter from my
lungs, and al last had all the wellknown symptoms
of Consumption in its last stages.
At the request of my family, my physician called
IN other doctors of this city, and they after an
examination agreed that my case was hopeless.
They informed my wife that had better be told
that could not live, my time would be very
short for arranging my worldly affairs They also
said that no medic inc would be of any use to me.
The next day my friend, Mr. A. j. Leith hearing of
my condition, sent me bottle Of your Pulmonc

AT THE SECOND TRIAL,

The London News says that at the second
trial, when Pagan had been placed in the
dock, the proceedings were frequently inter-
rupted by the temperance of the Jury in
Kelly's case, who came into Court half
a dozen times, and each time having
announced their inability to agree were
ordered to retire again, until ultimately, at
| a quarter to o'clock, they were dismissed
without having arrived at verdict. 1t ap-
peared from the questions which were asked
| that some one of the Jurors was weighing
| the evidence of MCGOWAN, who was exam
ined in support of the abb, against that of
Huxley, who was produced for the Crown,
and bad apparently come to the conclusion
| that McGowan was more entitled to belief
The position in which the Jury stood was
unconsciously revealed by the foreman,
who when the Judge replied to a question
asked upon the subject of these two wit
nesses, turned to the obstinate Juror with
the observation, There, now" at which the
Juror colored up and clearly saw that a
great many people had observed him. 1t
may be added that the foreman, Mr.. Byrne,
who is a respectable merchant in the sub
urbS, in common with many other Jurors
serving on the present Commission, received
yesterday a letter of very threatening
character, with the usual representation of
skull and crossbones.

The second entertainment of the Lyceum
course will be given in Granite Hall Monday
evening, Dec. 3lst. and will consist of a lee
ture by Hon. William Parsons, who is widely
known and recognized as one of the ablest
lecturers on the platform. As a master of
the art of word painting he has no superior,
and under the spell of his eloquence his sub
jects become endowed with life and action.
A Connecticut paper says: "We speak within
bounds when we say that Mr.. Parsons lecture
was the greatest intellectual feast the most
scholarly and entertaining oratorical effort,
the finest piece of word painting, that was
enjoyed by the people of this town. He is.
beyond comparison, the very best lecturer we
have ever heard. Ask any one who attended
his lecture last winter for confirmation of
what may seem extravagant praise, then hear
the man and judge for yourself.

Christmas presents must be purchased at all

buyers throughout the day and the clerks

to Christmas presents. Christmas trees

THE BED LIGHT m rnE WEST.


Interest continues to grow in the phenom-
enally gorgeous sunsets that have frequently
been witnessed At intervals in all parts of the
world for the past month, says the Washing
ton Post In Europe and in the United
States the most remarkable displays were
those Of November ~, and the following
night. The Characteristic feature of the
unique spectacle was the appearance of an i'm
mense illumination extending from the central
point where the sun had disappeared well to-
ward the zenith, and continuing two and a
half hours without the various peculiar scin-
tillation effects of the aurora borealis. As to
the direct cause of these remarkable exhibit.
tons, various theories have been advanced
BY scientists, several attributing it to the fact
that the earth had passed through meteoric
belt in space and that the molecules of me-
teric dnst becoming detached Dy friction with
the atmosphere, had either become incandes-
cent or else were revealed by the rays of the
sun.
The theory of Prof. Daniel Draper, of the
Central Park observatory, New York, was
that the persistence of the red tone in the sky
was phenomenon of very frequent occur
renee, especially in the Alpine regions where
snow-clad peak would retain for a very
long time perceptible shade of red due to
the sunset. cat one time" Prof. Draper
adds, sit was supposed that it was caused BY
dust Of plants floating in the atmosphere.
But it is now believed that smoke arising
from acres of burning peat or swamp mea-
dow land is the real factor in the problem.
That il, in my opinion. the more probable of the
two, ~ the discolored moons are seen at
this time of the year when there is consider
able burning in the county, and the amount
Of pollen must be uncomfortable at so late
period of the year. The smoke rises to
considerable height and often remains station
airy for long periods when there is calm
weather. Smoke has been known also to be
carried to vast distances, as in the volcanic
disturbances 10 Java not long ago. This |
believe to be the true solution. Prof. Brooks
