ism Of the Members-FOreIGn.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The war in Wales
against the hated collection of the 1.-THE has
broken out afresh. Indeed, every time a
1.-THE collector makes his appearance in a
Welsh village or town. he is obliged to inn
ploAe the profession OF the police while
making his rounds. A determined opposi-
tion is growing stronger yearly against this
form of taxation, and many believe that the
time Is not far distant when gallant little
Walesn will DO making as strong fight for
freedom from this taxation as her Celtic sis.
Ter across the channel is making for de.
hverance from oppression.
The 1.-THE question is becoming serious
consideration to the government and they
ere studying how they can best levy the
same amount Of tax in a form less hateful to
the Welsh people. The mass Of the people Of
Wales do not acknowledge the English
church as supreme in ecclesiastical matters
and deem 1t unjust that they should be
forced to render tribute to those to whom
they consider they owe no allegiance. 1t is
becoming harder and harder every year to
collect the tithes in Wales, and ia many
instances violence is resorted to in the fierce
opposition Of the villagers to the tax.
The success Of Ireland thus far in her fight
has emboldened the Welsh people, and they
have determined TO elect no more members
to represent the prtncipality in parliament
except those who favor the disastablishment
OF the Welsh church. MIR. Gladstone has
long since declared in favor of disendow
rnent and establishment, and thinks the
time ripe for the consideration of these
questions by the imperial parliament. Each
year will see Wales further advanced to
wards the accomplishment OF her object
and before long the burden which has been
placed upon his involuntary shoulders will
be entirely removed

Queer Fits and Starts.

The fits and starts-using these words in
their literal meaning-of the nervous peo-
pie often strike the beholder as ludicrous.
The nerves of hearing of such unfortu-
mates are painfully acute, and impinged by
abrupt, unexpected noises, lead them some
times to perform antics worthy of Jump
ing jack. At the root of nervousness. in
most instances, is non-assimilation of the
food, and consequently innutrition of the
nerves as of the other tissues of the body.
This prolonged is, of course, productive of
serious nervous disease. The remedy is

ate the stomach and enables it to perform
its functions properly. Soon after com

that the nerves grow more tranquil by dav,

and appetite more vigorous and satisfying.
These are the initial indications, followed
by the complete restoration of nervous
yigor. The Buters also cure fever and
ague, liver complaint and constipation.

AN EXPENSIVE sYsrEM.
The Knights of Labor Said to be in Urgent
Need of Funds.


PHILADELPHIA, April 24th.-The need OF
ready money above current expenses,
which are now paid with difficulty, is the
source of much concern to tn General Elk.
ecutive Board of the knights of Labor. At
a recent session of the Board $4,000 was
appropriated to start printing office. but
aside rom the brownstone headquarters
worth 100000, the only available property
is the Cornellburg coal mine, in Ohio. The
sale of this has been authorized, and the
Board expect to realize enough to get the
printing office we'll under way, and thereby
lessen the enormous printing bill, which
amounted to $40 600 last year. The sale of
the mine, however, will do but Ii tile to i'm
prove the condition of the finances.
A member of the Board admits that
there is barely enough money in the treas
ury to pay current expenses and keep the
machinery going until the payment of the
July per capita tax. The quarterly returns
are far from satisfactory. and unless the
money is received between this date and
July the force at the general Offices will
have to be further reduced. The expenses
of the order are now very heavy. During the
year 1856 the order gained nearly 60 600
members, and the total expenses were
$l05, ,795. Under the present administra-
ton, for 1SS6S7 the order lost 2l7, 200
members, and the total expenses were
