DROPS FROM A WINDOW AND NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH.  Some sad facts were mentioned during the hear. ing of a charge at Westminster. William Maxwell MeClintock, an actor, professionally using one of li Christian names, was brought up on remand. charged with attempting suicide at Worcestet Street, Pinitico.—Mr. McClintock, the guest of hi* solicitor pending the settlement of a will, gave it was stated, great anxiety to his frieuth through his excessive drinking. At UM o'clock on the morning of Feli. I, whilst suffering from delirium tremens, he 6.. t out, ol a second-floor bedroom window, and fell 321 t to the yard, sustaining severe injuries. II( saved his life by clutching at a creeper, which to a great extent broke his fall. Mr. E. BowenRowlands, who appeared for the accused, said that he was a son of a well-known late Crown official at Dublin, and unfortunately could not settle in any particular profession. After being captain of an Irish Militia, regiment, Mr. McClintock went on the stage, and in Mr. Terry's revival of The Magistrates" sustained one of the leading parts. The fact could not be denied that the accused was addicted to heavy drinking at times. It was whilst in a highly alcoholised condition—to put it plainly, suffering from delirium tremens-- that, imagining himselt pursued by evil spirits, be got in a nude state on to the window-sill and thence fell. His friends would like him removed to an inebriates' home for say three months. Mr. idarsham : That would not be much good. It would better be for twelve months--Defendant, who had said that the whole incident was to him nothing but a combination of nightmare and drink, offered no objection to the proposed arrangement, though lie said he would have preferred to have signed the pledge.—The accused was again remanded to the infirmary for the completion of the formalities necessary to his detention in an inebriates' retreat.

SUICIDAL DYSPEPSIA. POSITIVELY AVERTED BY USING DODD'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS.  IMPS Dyspepsia kill? Yes! In thousands Of instances Dyspepsia has given the invitation of death. This may be a startling statement. But it is a true one.  Dyspepsia unchecked causes a melancholy, hopeless feeling. Soon this merges into dark and dreary despondency. Then follows insanity—which is the second stage of despondency. The invariable tendency of all who suffer from melancholy insanity is to commit suicide. In nine cases out of ten they succeed. Thus Dyspepsia leads to death. Now, there's not the least necessity for this. It need not be so, and can be prevented as easily as you can fall asleep. There's no secret about how it is done. Simply use Dodi's Dyspepsia Tablets—one or two after each meal —for a couple of weeks, and the thing is done. Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets are a perfectly perfect digestive. They digest the food themselves. They don't need help. Sometimes Constipation accompanies dyspep,ia and indigestion. In each box of Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets is a supply of smaller tablets that are the most perfect bowel regulators ever made. Taken with Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets they fit the bowels to perform their duty, which is supplementary to the digestive process. Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have never failed, never will fail, cannot fail, to cure any case of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, or other stomach trouble. They digest the food, strengthen the stomach, and banish dyspepsia and indigestion, naturally and rapidly.

VII.' whom we Bouthrons know es James 11. of England. 1 The formal announcement that the Earl of ' Uxbridge is to marry the daughter of Sir George Chetwynd recalls the story which is now perhaps somewhat old, but is nevertheless always of poignant interest. Lord Uxbridge is the eldest 8011 of the Marquise of Anglesey. His intended bride is his cousin, as her mother was Lady Florence Paget, sister to the preeent Marquis of Anglesey. Lady Florence Paget was betrothed to Mr. Henry Chaplin, and the romantic story of the rupture of this engagement will not soon be forgotten. Limy Florence had gone, almost on the eve of the marriage, to look at some roods intended for her future home, and was escorted by her bridegroom. elect. The shop was a corner one. Mr. Chaplin and Lady Florence entered at one door. The Marquis of Hastings was in the shop. What passed will perhaps never be known, but certee is it that Lady Florence Paget left theshop in company of the Marquis of Hastings, and Mr. Chaplin went his way alone.
