A PluOlsy Minister.

Sir John Drummond Hay was 8 6ne horseman, and on one occasion. having been to interview the MoOrish foreign minister at El Araish. 60 miles from Tangier, ht dlsired to catch the outgo- ing steamer which left next morning. He had arranged that four relays of horses should be in readiness for his re- turn. On obtaining his reply he rode off. His escort, thoughtfully provided by the governor of El Araish, were early in the race left behind. They declared that Sir John, after outracing them, ''spread large wings and flew away. |" He wore loose cape. On arriving at the town of Azaila, half way to TangieE, he discovered that his relay was locked up in the stable, and, summoning some loafers, he battered in the door, ob- tained his mount and rode on till he came up to his own pony. On reaching the river he jumped his pony into the ferry boat and out again on the oppo- site side and finally reached Tangier, having ridden the distance in five hours
 On another occasion, when out with his children, a fanatic attacked him and one of his children, and Sir John struck the man with the cane he carried such a blow as stretched him seemingly lifeless on the ground, only vouchsafing She remark, "Take away the corpse. " The crowd drew back, and the bigoted pilgrim was taken to the hospital. So severe was the cut given by the cane, a present from Sir Walter Scott to Sir Johns father, that we are told that the basha sent to inquire the nature of the weapon which had caused so dangerous a wound. The companions of the fanatic interceded for him, and Sir John, only too ready to listen to them, had his as- sailant spared the bastinado. London Spectator

The servian Army.

A curious thing connected with the Servian army is the manner in which nearly all the regiments carry the big drum. Instead of being slung in front of the man who plays it this instrument is put upon small two wheel cart drawn by a large dog, the latter being so trained that he keeps his place even through the longest marches The drummer walks behind the cart and performs on the instrument as it goes along.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the back kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- Iity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.
