Mrs. Rhode Noah, of this place, was
taken in the night with cramping
pains and the next day diarrhoea set
in. She took half bottle of black
berry cordial but got no relief. She
then sent to me to see if I had any
thing that would help her. | sent her
a bottle OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and the first
dose relieved her. Another of our
neighbors had been sick for about a
week and had tried different remedies
for diarrhoea but kept getting worse.
/ sent him this same remedy. Only
four doses of it were required to cure
him. He says he owes his recovery to
his wonderful remedy.-Mrs. Mary

French Canadian Vote.

| The most remarkable feature of the
recent Canadian election was the re-
fusal of French Canadian Roman
Catholics to vote according to the
command of their clergy. The arch
bishop had ordered them to vote fol-
the continuation of the conservatives
in power and were told this would
mean the establishment of their re-
ligious, or separate schools as they are
called, in Manitoba. Never before
have they been known to disobey such
command aud the wonder of it
seems to be the one absorbing topic of
Canada since the result was known.
The fact that Laurier, the head of the
liberal party, is Roman Catholic had
no doubt much to do with it, and his
message to the clergy that they should
confine themselves to eccleastical
matters, no doubt still more. But
that the French-Canadian voters have
learned to think for themselves on
political questions is matter of much
astonishment to all who know their
moral makeup and makes new era
in the history of the ancient province
OF lower Canada. Every effort was
made by the defeated party 20 secure
their vote. Three of their co-religion-
lists in the house of parliament were on
the eve OF election taken into the
cablnent, but, to the honor of the
province all three were defeated st the
polls. Politics and religion were never
made to mix and every country is the
better off by refusing to carry on it's
government at the dictation of any
religious body no matter what the
color OF its views on the questions of
creed. The opinion of the new pre-
mier of the dominion on this point as
expressed in parliament when discuss
the Manitoba coercion bill, are inter-
esting as showing his breadth of mind.
He said: $50 long as l have a seat
in this house, so long as 1 occupy the
place / do now, whether it shall be-
come my duty to take stand upon
the question whether, that stand !
will take, not from the point of view
of Roman Catholicism, not from the
point of view of Protestantism, but
from the point of view of which ap-
peals to the consciences of all men,
irrespective of their particular faith,
upon grounds which can be occupied
by all men who love justice, freedom
and toleration."
This speech brought him into con-
flict with his own church in Quebec,
but in spite Of this he has triumphed
and Canada will be all the better for
the lesson of toleration which will be
taught by the man who is able to see
that the outcome of organizing all
Protestants under one banner and all
Catho lies under another would euent-
ually lead to that most terrible of all
conflicts religious war.-Taco ma

A Bibulous Community.

The S. F. Examiner devotes q page
OF its Sundays issue to illustration of
the enormity of the saloon traffic in
that city, and incidentally, the relative
position it bears in comparison with
other branches of trade. A plat of
the business portion of the city show
that if the $3.50 licensed saloons OF
San Francisco were massed together
they would occupy &C full blocks, or
one-nineteenth of the whole area. If
these saloons were placed In straight
line, side to side, they would reach 16
miles.
| Some idea OF the amount OF beer
that is annually consumed in that
metropolis may be obtained from the
enormous cask it is figured would be
required TO hold it. This but would
have to be 455 feet high and 2274 feet
in diameter, and filled to the brim
would hold 14,215,161 gallons. The
battleship Oregon could easily float
in this cask, if patially filled, and leave
plenty of room for couple of trans
ports of moderate tonnage. 1t would
require five ships as large as the Ore
gon to carry this beer as cargo, after
all the machinery and armament had
been removed.
A demijohn to contain the whiskey
drank for similar period would have
to be 81.9 feet high and 80 feet in di-
ameter, and hold S27, ,493 gallons.
Some idea of the size of this huge bot
tie may be formed from the illustra-
tion, which represents two sides brok-
out and four trains of cars abreast
passing through. Loaded on trains,
the whiskey consumed by the thirsty
population of San Francisco in
single year would fill 500 cars carrying
F15, 900 pounds each, or more than 33
Trains vi I0 cars eaCn.
During the past year 1882 arrests
have been made for drunkenness, and
this includes only those who became
hopelessly drunk or quarrelsomc.
Those who could carry their Gag"
without trouble were allowed to puY-
sue their way in peace, 50 these figures
by no means indicate the number
that has been "full" on birthdays,
holidays or, any other days, who were
80 fortunate as not to allow their legs
to become tangled up with the side
walk. Police statistics show that a
very steady average of "drunks" are
reported monthly, but it invariably
raises in December, when the convival
season is at its height and the deter
mination to make New Years resol-
ution doubtless opens the door to
special indulgence as a preparatory
measure for remuneration of cherish
ed vice.
The police department says that
this 16 miles of saloons do not pay
their cost, from the reason that it is
now the custom to discharge all re-
spectable-appearing drunkards, in the
morning, without taking them into
the police court for trial. The theory
of the Judges is that imprisonment
over night is enough punishment for
the man who Overestimates his ca
pacity and takes glass or two too
much. This may be humane, but it
reduces the revenue which years ago
more than paid police expenses, and
the officers who have made the rela-
ton of the saloon to crime a study
favor increasing the retail license fee.

Death Of Alexander Woods.

On December 2lst the death angel
came to the home OF Uncle Alexander
Woods. Uncle Alex, who lived near
Folsom in Concord township, quietly
went to sleep on Thursday night at IL
o'clock. He was man very highly re.
spected in his own neighborhood and
wherever he was known. He was q
very neat farmer. Everything about
his premises was in the very best of
style. He was born in Ireland over
seventy years ago and emigrated to
America with his father'sfamily in 1912,
and located near Sugartree Ridge. When
he saw death approaching he began to
put his house in order for his burial and
funeral. He selected for his pail bearers,
his brother Joseph's sons, William,
Henry, Benny, Charley, Frank and
Joseph. 1t was one of the most sympa.
thetic occasions ever known here, to see
those young men bearing their uncle to
his last resting place to await the resur
rection morn. Uncle Alex leaves good
wife and son on earth to mourn.
