A Physician

who lost his medicine chest, but, having
at hand bottle of Ayers Pills, found
himself fully equipped.-J. Arrison,
NJ. D., of San Jose, Cal, writes:
"Some three years ago, by the merest
accident, I was forced, so to speak,
to prescribe Ayers Cathartic Pills for
several sick men among party Of engi-
neers in the Sierra Nevada mountains,
my medicine chest having been lost in
crossing a mountain torrent. I was
surprised and delighted at the action Of
the Pills, so much so, indeed, that was
led to a further trial of them, as we'll as
of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa-
rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer
in their favor"
John W. Brown, NJ. D., of Oceana,
WA, writes; "I prescribe Ayers Pills
in my practice, and find them excellent.
1 urge their general use in families"
T. E. Hastings, NJ. D., of Baltimore,
Nd, writes: "That Ayers Pills do con-
troll and cure the complaints for which
they are designed, is as conclusively
proven to me as anything possibly can be.
They are the best cathartic and aperi-
ent within the reach Of the profession"

OUR COLONIAL MAILS.

Negotiations Pending to Take the Service
 Out ofthe United States Hands.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-Mr. Robert Creighton, the New Zealand mail agent, said yesterday:
 "There Is scarcely any hope for continu- ing the Australian mail service via San Francisco. The colonies are now negtcia- ting with the Canadian Pacific for running their service iu couple of months. If the United States desired to retain colonial trade and connection, there will have to be prompt action taken, as the New Zealand parliament will adjourn within q fortnight
 ''Thc colonies have thought it only fair that the United States should pay one third of the cost for services, which would amount to about $6, 800; New Zealand and tho South Wales each paying a similar amount. As amattor of fact there is more American mail carried by the steamers than there is English mail. The colonies charter American steamers, and the bone- fits of trade are In favor of Amerlca'.
 Under these circumstance we contend that the United States should bear one third of the cost or they will go elsewhere with the service where they can get better terms. Fully, three fourths of tho trade is in the hands of Easte manufacturers who depend upon this mail service for it's continuance. Australian travel through the United States would also cease.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S GIFT
DONATIONS TO THE CONSTAe- ULARY FUND DISAPPROVED.
The Liberal Journals Say that Her Act Win Have a Bad Effect on the Irish.
 Where Her Sympathies Are Placed.
TCOPYRIGHTEp 1888. l

Acocs
 LONDON, Aug. 1S-Many are the com ments that have followed the Queens act Of contributing 50 pounds to the Irish Con- stabulary fund. The Liberal journals deprecate the gift and consider that it will have bad effect upon the Irish in general, as 1t accentuates in disagreeable manner where the Queens sympathieS are placed. It also contrasts, in an unpleasant man. ner, her feelings toward a people who would be loyal to her If they could, and the very different feelings she entertalns for the men who hound the Irish peasants from their homes and llvings. The Irish Nationalist journals comment upon it with extreme bitterness. One says that the fact in itself would be as insignificant us the sum, were it not for the unmistakable indication that the gift affords of the amount of affection with which the Queen regards her Irish subjects. "her good woman's heart that has been so loudly vauuted" continues the paper, "has not been touched by the poverty, the want and the piteous struggles Of the Irish who have been driven from their homes by English landlords. The misery of thousands of a nation which has largely contributed to her security and greatness, has not impelled her to turn in compassion and sympathy towards them or seek their relief by so much as a word of comfort. On the contrary, the sovereign has seized an opportunity Of insulting the Irish and taunting them in their distress by lending hes aid to those who, in the pay of her Government, assist in robbing the Irish.' Other papers declare that the Irish only need the love and sympathy which the Queen has willingly bestowed upon other parts of her kingdom to make them the most loyal of her subjects. The gift has caused great deal of feeling, and more inopportuue time, when daily eyIc- tions arc being carried on and Ireland's distress is increasing, could not have been chosen for such an act

The Blame for the Collisie~

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Capt Mol le" of the Geiser went to the oi' hcee of the Danish Consul, Edward Bech. and made an informal report of the col lision. but did not file any written report.
 To the Consul, when q reporte~ was present, Capt. Moller said that the lights of the Thingvalla had been seen over two hours before the collision. The consul told this to the reporters, but wnuu they asked Capt. Moller about it he Caid ho must decline to discuss anything that would tend to fix the blame on anyone.
 "lt Is not fair to go into the matter or who is to blame. am here, and say am clear. Then comes Captain Laub and says he is clear. How shall you determine who did right before you have the sworn tcsti- mony or nll the parties which will Gs given in court"
 However to the Consul, Captain Aoller said that had the engines Of hls sF:S boon kept going ahead at full speed ins"5ad of reversed then the Gciser would havo shot across the bows Of the Thingvalla and ss- capped, though very narrowly It appears, therefore, that the chief officer of the Geiser, Mir. Browa, was right in putting his helm to starboerd and wrong in reversing the propeller, while tho deck officer of the Thlngvalla ws. right in reversing his propeller, but Wiring in putting his helm to port. Neither ship IS, therefore, free from blame.

For this reason very few observations have been secured At the Dudley Observatory the new comet has been observed on three nights Aug. 10, If and 16 The comet is quite faint. Prof Ross calculated an orbit for the stranger, and the result was telegraphed by code message to the American Association for the Advancement Of Science, now In ses- sion in Cleveland, and to the Earl of Crawford and to the Astronomical Inteln- gence Bureau Tn Berlin, Germany. Tho new comet will not be an interesting ob- iect In the popular sense. It is slowly ap- preaching the earth, but receding from the sun. It is now in the lower part of the constellation Great Bear, and Is movin g toward Leo. It is at present 1+2, O00,0 900 miles from the earth.
