chief among the blessings which are adapted to all
zones," writes DR.. j. g. Wallace, of Fort Dade, Fla,
| "is PARKER's Tonic. Tt seems to have the world
for field, and most Of the current diseases yield to
its action. have used 1t in the case of q delicate
and dyspeptic young lady, with the most gratifying

the usual prescriptions and treatment for that miser
able malady failed wholly to bring about. am al
glad to state that the Tonic has greatly relieved
me personally Of troublesome atomic condition of
the stoa lch of long standing. 1t is the ideal puri
fer and invgorant."
Messrs. HIsoox q Co. call especial attention to
the fact that after April 49, 1888, the and style
of this preparation will hereafter be simply Pdrkers
Tonic. The word "Ginger' is dropped, for the
reason that inprincipled dealers constantly de-
ceving their patrons by substituting inferior pre-
parations under the name Of Ginger; and ginger
is an unimportant avoring ingredient in Tonic,
we are sure that our friends will agree with to
the propriety of the change. There tDiW be no
change, hOlCeUer. in the preparation itself; and all
bottles remaining in the hands of Dealers wrapped
under the name Of "PARKER's GINGER TONIC" con-
tain the genuine medicine If the signature of HIS

rious than had been anticipated, and
immediate endeavOurs were made to
save the National Picture Gallery,
while Etatsraad Meldahl with a num-
Der ofsoldiers rushed into the building,
passing the rooms of the High Court,
into the picture gallery, where he was
soon joined by inspector Block and
others, who at once set to work TO
unhang all of the principal paintings,
take them out of their frames, and
send them out of the burning building
TO a place of safety. In this manner
"a a great deal of the Picture Gal
lery saved but unfortunat ely at the
same time much of it has been lost and
destroyed. From therooms Of the Rigs
dag and the High Court great quaint.
ties of books and documents were
conveyed in safety out of the building
and placed on a square in front. The
King, accompanied by Prince Valde-
mar, entered the burning building,
encouraging, as he passed from room to
room, all those who were doing good
work here, where His Majesty had but
shortly before received many Of
Europe's scientific men as his guests.
At about 9 o'clock great fears were
entertained for the safety of Thor
waldsen's Museum, and the King with
his sons, repaired to that spot to see
that everything that could be done
to save the country's great treasures
should be carried out, Their endea-
yours were happily crowned with sue
cess, for the building with its valuable
contents, after great Iabour, was
saved, as we have already stated,
A great deal of value that was in
the Palace was saved: all the Gold,
Silver and Plate were safely trans
ported to a place of security.

story is not true, as the liberation Of
the province from the Pashas would
open the whole Eastern Question,
which it is the object of the meeting
to keep closed and we doubt the
Persian rumour. The Gar has no
one to consult in his action at Teheran
except England, which sent no one
to Skirnievice. We rather wonder,
however, why Russia, which is out of
the scramble for Africa, does not Sc
riously enac Persia. She alone
can attack that State easily; there is
no resistance possible unless England
fights, for Persia has been bled TO
death by the Kajar dynasty and
the kingdom would in a few years
be a very large revenue-paying pro-
vince. Persia, properly governed,
would be as fertile as Italy; white
men can plough in halt her satrapies,
and she not only could support, but
would attract the over-spill Of all
Russia, which as the population of the
Northern Governments moves stead
lily to the South, is becoming consi-
derable. Why should a human
being who knows anything, and eau
dig, remain in the circle of Archangel
when he can find wheat-growing
plains without leaving his own coun-
try?

The cholera still RACES in Italy. In
Naples, aver since the Kings visit,
which re-inspired all classes, the death
rates has declined, and it is now over
1873 a day but the disease kills 80 or
more in the suburbs, and it has now
broken out at Genoa. The figures
are uncertain, the authorities being,
probably, unwilling to confess the
truth but the best non-oficial &C
counts represent the deaths in Genoa
at 60 a day. That is a high figure
among a population less than a fourth
that of Naples. 1t is noteworthy that
in this outbreak the disease clings to
the shore, striking Toulon, harseilles
Spezzio, Naples, Genoa; its maligni-
ty inland being far less. That has
never, we think, been the case in
India, though there, also, the most
thickly populated cities are the ports
The difficulties of drainage on the
shores of the Mediterranean are great,
but they must be faced if the ports
are to be healthy, and that in a way
of which the inhabitants have no con-
ception. Local philanthropists talk
nonsense about spending hundreds
of thousands of francs. The work
will require millions sterling, and
cannot, indeed, be effected without
national aid.

The probabilities Of war in South
Africa increase. The Beers, relying
on their kinsfolk in Cape Colony, and
transported with their success in de-
Tending the Transvaal, are losing their
heads, and will shortly do some act
equivalent to invasion. They have
taken Zululan6, and are now occupy
ing Bechuanaland, annexing it by
proclamation, and will probably re-
claim Natal and GriquaIand, so driv-
ing us back beyond the line of the
Orange River. 1t will, we fear, be
necessary yet to act against them;
and when the time arrives the action
must be of the decisive kind, For
the present, they are protected by
English preoccupation, by their own
weakness, and by the extreme reluc-
lance of the English people to fight
for a Colony which is not at heart
loyal to British rule. There is a point,
however, at which the statesmen will
decide that they must either recon
quer South Africa or quit it, and it is
very nearly reached.

Opening Of the Danish PGTIi0-
ment.

Copenhagen, Oct. 6.-The Rigs
dag was opened to-day with a speech
from the Throne by the King in person.
Owing TO the recent fire at the
Castle OF ChriStiansborg, where the
sittings of the Chambers had been
held previously, the ceremony took
place in the Grand Hall. of the Uni
N%erSity. The Royal speech, which
His Majesty read with much emotion,
commences by observing that the
Castle of Christiansborg, which had
ur to the present afforded shelter to
the representatives Of the nation, is
now in ruins. This calamity, on
tinued the speech, should cause
serious concern, but must be at the
same time an earnest appeal to all to
labour in concord for the welfare of
the country and the national safety.
The King entreated the Rigsdag to
secure the independence of the cOun-
try by passing the measures necessa-
ry for it's defence, and expressed the
hope that the other efforts made for
the welfare Of fine country, would
then be crowned with Gee The
Kings speech was greeted by the De-
puties with nine rounds Of cheers.

dents having been reelected, the

particulars of this terrible catastrophe,
which may well be termed a ma
tional calamity. *** Fortunately the
Royal Chapel adjoining the Palace
was saved, but only after the greater
part of its contents had been, in great
hurry and confusion, removed and
almost destroyed;-lhe saving of this
portion of the building is due to the
use of dynamite, which was success
fully applied to blow up a connecting
building between the Chapel and the
Palace, thus creating a space, beyond
which the flames did not reach. The
noble edifce which contains the re-
mains of Denmark's immortal Thor
waldsen, and the unrivalled prOduc-
tons of this great Sculptor, towards
which the whole ration looks with a
feeling Of pride, was happily, after
great exertion, saved from the deplo-
rable fate of the Palace, which stood
in its immediate neighbourhood, but
only after some damage had been done
to the building, not, however, to its
valuable contents.
The cause ofthe fire does not seem,
from the latest accounts, to be clear
ly defned, but it would appear that it
can be traced to defects in the heat
ing tubes, which, some short time be-
fore, had been tested, preparatory to
being used for the purpose of princi-
pally heating the rooms Of the "Rigs-
dag" which assembled in the Palace
itself, the Chairmanof the Folkething,'
Mr. Berg, having also his official resi-
dence there. The ''Rigsdag," it is said,
will now hold its meetings in a wing
Of "Amalienborg," which is partly
occupied by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.
On information of the fire being
received by the King, who was still in
the country, at Bernstortf, he immedi-
ately proceeded to town accompanied
by the Crown Prince, and Prince
Valdemar, and repaired to the scene
of destruction, where His Majesty
stood with sorrow depicted on his
countenance, encouraging his subjects
to render all assistance in their power:
and here let it be said that good work
was done by all classes of the commu-
nity-lncluding the women. Soldiers
and sailors, led by their gallant
officers, did their part we'll; the young
Cadets and the Students are especially
mentioned, as well as some Russian
sailors, as having been interchangeable
in their labour to save the building
and its valuable contents from total
destruction.
Unfortunately, it is but too true,
that four or five gallant soldiers en-
tered the burning building to render
assistance, but were never cen again.
We now proceed to make short
extracts of some further particulars of
the fire, taken from the National
IGdende, which paper, it is said, has
given the best and most concise and
graphic description of the catastrophe:
The alarm of the fire was given at
four o'clock in the afternoon on the
3rd October. but it is said the smell Of
smoke had been noticed for several
days before about the palace, and at
4.3O the first steam fire engines made

newspapers generally express chagrin at
the escape from Bac-Ninh of the Chinese
garrison, the capture OF which would have
enabled France to claim indemnity from
China.
The Paris correspondent Of the Times
says: The occupation Of Bac-Ninh ends
in nothing. The rainy season begins in a
fortnight, and will postpone operations for
six months. The Delta of the Red river is
handed over TO pillage and anarchy. The
