The Elder Dempster line steamship
Etolis, Captain Evans. arrived from
Bristol at O'Clock yesterday morning.
The Etolia left Bristol on the 11th one
day behind her published time, and then
after getting fairly underway was obliged
to drop anchor in the English channel
for twenty four hours, on account OF
dense fogs. Captain Evans reports south
west and westerly gales during the entire
passage. 1t was one of the toughest pas
sages the Etolia has encountered for some
time. No ice was seen. She brought sos
tons Of general cargo, the greater portion
of which was the plate consigned to
Canada. There was only fifteen tons Of
American oonsignments going to the
west. The only local matter was fifty
six casks Of bleaching powder. The
Etolia brought ten returning cattlemeu,
all of whom passed the inspection of inn
migration.

ALL GLASSES COME.
Wide Spread Popularity of the Great
Dictionary Offer.

A striking feature Of the highly sue
cessful distribution of the New Revised
Encyclopaedia Dictionary is found i'll the
fact that the work makes particularly
strong appeal to all Glasses of readers.
This condition is especially crafty ing
since newspaper or the work OF news
paper is. or should be, in the direction If
the enlightenment and bettermenS of all
its readers. 1t is therefore pleasant to
notice that all Glasses come to take ad-
vantage OF the opportunity now briefly
presented. Little less than universal ap-
probation, however, could be expected
when the plan, scope and generous full
dllment of the work is taken into ac-
count.
Its special value indeed ia found in the
fact that it combines under one alphabet
q universal distionary of the English
language, with encyclopaedia treatment
in all branches of knowledge.
1t is modern, since it contains treatisss
OH oil the most recent discoveries and in
ventions in the wide range of human
thought and endeavor.
1t is authoritative, since it has been
edited and revised by the ablest scholars
and writers on special subjects in both
Europe and America.
1t ia practical since it is a reference
library for everyone for the scholar,
scientist. clergyman, lawyer, physician,
merchant, banker, architect, teacher,
pupil, artisan, mechanic and farmer.
All these classes come and find within
their easy reach a reference work of I'M
doubted worth, of life long value. at a
price SO low and on terms SO easy that
no one honestly desiring the work, and
who applies promptly, need be excluded.
1t requires only dollar in cash to
secure immediate possession of the four
splendid volumes, and the balance to be
paid at the rate of cents per day.
It will be necessary for you to get in
your application soon as the limited
number of sets are rapidly going out.
