Grand Army Hall.
The Boston city council has rejected
the models for the statues of Grant
and Sheridan, but has accepted one of

one on the banks of the Hudson and
the other on the banks of the Delaware.
IN the cemetery of one of the churches
of Philadelphia there is planted the
lower limb of a prominent Grand Army

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however. has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. Fl. Dixon & Son, cor. of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chrts

THOS. W. KEENE.

A Master in the Actors Art.
Thos. w. Keene has been seen In
San Antonio as Richard LII and every
body is prepared to say he stands pre-
eminent i'm the role. Last night was
his first appearance in the city, how
ever, as Louis NJ, King of France, and
his audience was not prepared for the
surprise he gave them. The play is
an adaptation from Scott's novel,
"Quentin Durward," and depicts the
last scenes in the life of the cruel,
bigoted, dotard king of France. Mr..
Keene's portrayal Is creation, and
in it he not only holds the mirror up
to history but goes further and makes
his audience fully realize that he Is
master and a king. He does not
overdo anything, yet his whole
work is so faithful, realistic
and superb that his auditors were not
only pleased but charmed. Space
alone forbids an extended notice in
this issue. His support Is extra
strong this season, and every mem
Der fully acquitted themselves. To-
night Richard iii will be given.

SuIlivan's New Opera.

LONDON, Demeber 23.-The cast is
announced of Ivanhoe, Sullivan's
new opera, which will be produced
early next month at the Savory Thea
ter. AS it Is to be played six even
ings a week, with occasional matin-
ees, the cast will be doubled, so far
as the leading parts are concerned, in
order that the singers may have q
chance of having some voice left at
the end of the run, which, it is con-
fidently expected, will be of pheno.
menal length. The libretto opens in
the hall of Cedric, the Saxon, at
Rotherwood, and it is said to include
a tournament scene, the burning of
Torquilstone Castle, the Greenwood
ambush, the trial of Rebecca before
the Templars, and other features of
Scott's novel. sullivan himself is of
the opinion that the score includes
some of the best work he has ever
done.

A Noble Life Ended.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Duchess of
Northumberland, who died this
week at the age of IS, was born and
remained all her life a member of the
Irvingite or Catholic Apostolic
church. She was as charitable as
she was devout, and probably the
British peerage list never contained
the name of better woman, for she
gave not only money but personal
service to the poor. The average
British peerless acts upon the proverb
that charity begins at home, and be-
gins to be devc1t only at the approach
of old age.

Farmers FIeeced,

MARION, Kan, Dec. 23.-Two slick
rascals have been doing considerab BILE
business in the vicinity OF Marion
during the past three months. The
fraud is this: One fellow, represent
ing himself as an enumerator making
corrections in the census, leaves with
the farmer blank, with a request
that it be filed out and properly sign
ed and to deliver it to an assistant,
who appears later and collects what
the farmer thinks is statement of
his worldly effects. In about thirty
days the farmer is called upon to
settle a promisory note, in amounts
ranging from $50 to 500, which to his
surprise bears his signature.

MADRID, December 23.-The Span

ran ashore near Alhucemas, Morocco.
A party of Moors boarded the vessel
and carried off all of value they could
find. They made prisoners of the en-

passenger, and deprived them of all
their clothing, even stripping them
of that they had on. A detachment
of native troops pursued the robbers
and rescued the prisoners.

MONTICELLO, ILL.,, December 23.-
An extraordinary case of hydropE obia
is that of little Vena Simpson, aged
10 years, living near White Heath,
Platt County. While visiting her
aunt, Mrs. Spencer, she was sudden
~ seized with commissions, during
which she snapped and snarled like
a dog, requiring three strong men to
hold her. No one has any knowledge
of her having ever been bitten by q
dog, yet these commissions continue,
and she is in serious condition. The
physicians are puzzled to know what
to do, or what will be the outcome of
this case.

A Picture of Livingstone.

The following is taken from an art
icle entitled 1.-THE Partition of Africa, ~
by the Marquis of the North Ameri-
can Review; Livingston, to be sure,
did little to encourage the idea of
gold. The only gold visible about
him was the gold of his character,
and a remarkable hat.band of the
same color he always persisted in
wearing, whether in Africa or in Eu-
rope. That gilded hat.band had
probably much to do with the con-
version of the savage to Christianity
which was the purpose for which
Livingstone travelled, toiled and died.
He had probably found it an open
sesame to distinction in the minds of
the natives. 1t was o most awe
inspiring diadem; and if it avails on
the captains head or the merchant
mans deck, why should it not help
discipline and enforce awe on the
children of Ham. When there re-
manned little to mark Livingstone as
an Englishman, when his skin was
burned dark brown, and his speech
had become almost wholly Makololo,
that golden hat band remained to dis
tinguish him outwardly from all 9TH
ers. But how far above any ordinary
mortaps was that mans character
None more pure, more faithful, more
unselfish, more calmly courageous.
and merciful was ever formed by
God. To lift the dweller In heather
degradation in heart and body to hap
pier consciousness and higher exist
ence, and TO learn the secrets of his
land, that it, with him, should be OPP
en- to better influences, was his sole
and simple end and aim. He de-
lighted, TOO, in the majesty of the
new scenes he was the first to see and
to describe. remember how, after a
long walk in the Highlands, he
threw himself down in quiet delight
on the heather on hill summit and
compared his own Scotland with the
country which he had spent to many
trying years. He liked to describe
in his slow speech, full OF the ac-
uuired gutturals and liquid sound OF
the African tongue he had so long
spoken, his impressions OF the great
wonders of nature in Africa"
