HOTYLOWAY'S PILLS.—These pills are more efficacious in strengthening a debilitated constitution than any other medicine in the world. Persons of a nervous habit of body, and all who are suffering from -weak digestive organs, or whose health has become deranged by bilious affections, disordered stomach, or iver complaints, should lose no time in giving these admirable pills a fair trial. Coughs, colds, asthma, or shortness of breath, are also within the range of the sanative powers of this very remarkable medicine. The cures effected by these pills are not superficial or temporary, but complete and permanent. Thfiy are as mild as they are efficacious, and may be given with cone- dence to delieate females and young children. INTERESTING TO LADIES.—At this season of the year, the important process of bleaching and dressing Laces and Linens for Spring and Summer wear commences, we would therefore particularly call the attention of our fair readers to the Glenfield Starch, an article of primary importance in the getting up of these articles, The Glenfield Starch is specially manufactured for family use, and such is its excellence that it is now exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and Her Majesty's Laundress pronounces it to be the finest Starch she ever used. Her Majesty's Lace Dresser says it is the best she has tried, and it was awarded two Prize Medals for its superiority. The manufacturers have much pleasure in stating that they have been appointed Starch Purveyors to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales. The Glenfield Starch is Sold in packets only, by all Grocers, Chandlers, &c, &c.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE. Though the bearings of this agitation are not as impor- tant in an economical sease as those of other movements of a similar nature which concern manufactures having certain localities as their particular centres, results have been already produced by it which will probably in B very short time alter the conditions of an extensive trade. In the first place, a wider field has been opened out for the employment of women, for the masters have adopted largely the use of sewing machines, and for pur- poses, too, for which it has been hitherto found impos- sible to use them. A machine, for example, has been invented for making and slitohing button-holes. Hitherto it required a well skilled operative to make button- holes well, but the machiue to which we have referred will not only work them with exactness and finish, bnt will make twenty in the same time as the workman employs in making one. From this it will follow as a necessary consequence that the time-log which the operatives have framed for adoption by the masters, and which was composed on calculations based upon work by hand, must be either changed or entirely abandoned. Another important consideration arising from the movement is that a large reduction will here- after be made in the price of clothes. It has been shown that the principal master tailors at the West- end can make the clothes at a cost very little more, if at all more, than half the price which their customers are obliged to pay for them. It is probable that even if the old system were resumed the public, with their pre- sent knowledge, would demand a modification of the tariff hitherto acted upon but now that machinery will be largely employed in the manufacturs of clothing a diminution in their cost must necessarily ensue. The issue of the contest will be against the operatives. The masters have gradually supplied themselves with non- unionist workmen, so that many of them are now paying as much in wages as they have been in the habit of doing at the same season. We understand that a house of call' has been established at which operatives can be readily obtained, and there is no doubt that through it great facilities will be offered to the masters for finding hands and the men for getting employment. This is the tenth week of the strike, there are nearly 3,000 men out of work in consequence of the movement in London and Brighton, and at present there seems little probability of an amicable settlement.- Times. A HORRIBLE STORY. -A letter from Fort Pitt, a small settlement in the Saskatchewan Valley, British America, narrates a horrible and incredible incident that is said to have taken place in that settlement some weeks ago:—' A French Canadian had killed several pigs, and his little children had looked on in approving wonder at the process. Soon after the parents went to church, and on their return were met at the door by their oldest child, Gustave, an eight-year-old boy, who exclaimed in childish glee, I have killed little piggy come and see.' He was covered with blood. What they saw may be inferred from the confession of the boy as to what had taken place. When the parents had gone to church, Gustave proposed to his little brother that they should play killing pig. In this request it is supposed that the unfortunate little fellow acquiesced. The youngest was to be the pig, the eldest the butcher. Gustave eagerly assisted his brother to undress for the tragedy, and, taking a small rope, tied him down se- curely to a rough lounge that stdod in the room he then procured the butcher's-knife that his father had used in slaughtering the pigs the day before, and plunged it into the throat of his passive and helpless brother. The wound was a mortal one, and it is supposed that death must have immediately resulted. After the child had bled his little-life away, the unnatural brother,, with the most uncredib!e heartlessness, took the cord which con- fined the body to the lounge, and, tying one end around the feet of the corpse, threw the other over the beam, and, using his weight and strength, hoisted the body t > the position in which it was found then, not satisfied with the programme thus far carried out, the little butcher must needs disembowel his dead brother almost in the exact manner in which his father had the pigs .the day before.' A STRANGE SUORY.—The Scotsman tells a singu- lar story under the heading of' Extraordinary Case of Demoniacal Possession in a Free Church. The Case occurredin the Chalmers Memorial Church, Grange, on Sunday last. Dr. Bonar, the minister, took for the subject of his afternoon discourse the unclean spirits described in the 12th .chapter of St Matthew. The afternoon was very warm, and in the course of the service a number of people be- came sick and fainted. One girl, in attempting to leave the church while the chapter was being read fell in a fainting fit, and was carried into the vestry. The occurrence caused some hubbub among the congregation, and several of the members including Dr Duncan, Professor of Hebrew, left their seats to wait upon the poor girl. In the course of a few minutes, and while a hymn was being given out. Dr. Duncan came out from the vestry and asked in a lond voice if there was a medical gentleman present. A gentleman who was understood to be a doctor thereupon rose and proceeded to the vestry. Certain members of the congregation afterwards began to move to and fro in order to make inquiries respecting the sufferer, and not a few left the church altogether. Still the service proceeded in as order- ly a manner as was possible amid such uneainess and Dr. Bonar in due course of time began to preach on the devils. When the rev. gentleman was about half way through his sermon-he had not reached the 'application'—a gentleman seated in the centre of the church became ill, and apparently fainted. Some appearance of confusion ensued, but Dr. Bonar called out to the people to he calm, and a number of them, though in a state of great alarm, at once resumed their seats. Still persons continued to pass out of the church, and the whole congre- gation were restless and inattentive. Dr.Duncan Z, then stepped up to the pulpit and. had some private conversation with Dr. Bonar, who, after a few mo- ments' pause, closed the book before him, and, addressing the congregation, said it would be bet- ter to say nothing more, but simply engage in prayer. It was perhaps quite true, he continued, as Dr. Duncan had suggested, that Satan was there tempting them with these interruptions, and that he was angry at being spoken against. The rev- gentleman then engaged in prayer' and after he finished a hymn was given out and sung. While the verses were being read out, Dr. Duncan ascend- ed the pulpit unnoticed by Dr. Bonar, and the latter gentleman on rising his head from the desk and looking around appeared for a moment to be greatly startled at. seeing a personage so near to him. The object of the learned professor in going into the pulpit was to address the congregation, and having obtained leave from Dr. Bonar to speak, he rose and ejaculated a few thoughts on the passage of Scripture respecting the security with which a strong man armed can keeps his house in peace. In middle of his oration the learned professor had a thought about Satan -or 'Sattan' as he called his Satanic Majesty; exclaiming with great vehemence, in reference to what had°taken place among the congregation, that it was Sattan, brethren, Sattan—Sattan.' He also wished to notice something said by the Apostle Paul to the Gentiles but, failing to remember the particular passage, be bad to announce that his memory did not serve him to tell what the Apostle said to the Gentiles. The benediction was then pronounced, and the congregation dismissed. As the people were about to leave the church Dr. Duncan again rose in the pulpit, and briefly repeated his former assurance, that it was Sattan, brethren, Sattan- Sattan.' A suggestion was made that the enemy should be fought out, in the belief that if resisted he would flee but the terror caused by his warm and unprecedented manifestation was too great to be hurriedly shaken off, and the congregation dispersed, DREADFUL W A'QNING.-A blacksmith was summoned is a witness in court in a case between two of his work- men. The judge, after hearing the testimony, asked >iim why he did not adviaa them to settle, as the coat had already amounted to three times the amount of the disputed sum. He replied, I to-t-told the f,)-f-ools to se-e-e-ttle, for I said the co-o-on-stable would ta-k-k-ke their coats and the lawyers their sh-ir-ts, and if they got in your honour's court, you'd sk-k-k-kia 'em.' CARRYING SEA WATER TO PAMs.—The government cistern-lighters Cruche and Filtre have just returned to Havre, after conveying a cargo of sea water to Paris for the great aquarium of the Exhibition. Each of those vessels had taken on board 150 cubic metres of water, but not finding a sufficient ciepth in the channel of the upper Seine, had to discharge a quantity, and could only deliver from 100 to 110 metres at the Champ de Mars. They will consequently have to make several trips to Paris, a" not less than 150U cubic metres is required to fill the aquarium. SUDDEN DEATH.-On Saturday Mr Henry Bennett, clerk to a solicitor in the Strand, felt unwell after he had been at the office for a short time, and left for home. He went to the Temple Pier, and having taken a ticket for the Srarrey side of Lou- don Bridge, sat down on a form to wait for the steamboat. Whilst waiting he was seen to fall forward, and on being lifted v?as found to be quite dead. He was carried to King's College Hospital. 0 The Army and Navy Gazette bears that the dimensions of the review to be held by her Majesty in Hyde Park will be much less than was at first anticipated, when we were told that all the troops that could be conveniently assembled would be present. Only about 4,000 men from Aldershot, Woolwich, and Chatham, will be brought up, which added to about 3,000 household troops- in town, will make the total number somewhat over 7,OOB. Our contemporary adds, that some of the leading Volunteer officers are anxious to have a review of their force by the Sultan in Hyde Park. They say they can bring 8,000 men into the park if the War Office pay £ 10,000 to cover the cost of arrange- ments. A CHILD OF SEVEN YEARS SUMMONED—At the Gateshead County Petty Sessions, on Wednesday, a child seven yean of age, named John Barnes, waa summoned before the sitting magistrates for damaging the garden gate of Dr. Jones, of Washington. When the little fellow answered to his name, Mr Ramsay asked why such a child had been summoned; he was far too young to be taken to a police court. Dr. Jones said that the police well knew that he suffered annoyance from the children damaging his garden gate, and he had brought Barnes before them to make an example. Mr Ramsay said it was never intended that court should take such cases in hand. The case was then dismissed, Jones having to pay the costs, 13s. A rumour that the wife of a duke and the wife of a bishop are about to- appear in public as singers,' says the Athenaeum, will probably be enough, in our wonder-seeking society, to fill even Exeter Hall with an eager audience. For once the good-natured public will be right in following its instincts. The cause which has won the good-will of a host of patrons, and which has decided the Duchess of Newcastle and Mr Ellicott to apear in public—the desire to assist with funds the Rome of Relief for Children with Chronic Diseases of the Joints — is worthy of every one's helping hand; and even those of the auditory who may be drawn to Exeter Hall on Wednesday, July 3, in order to enjoy the exhibition of talents which are loudly vaunted in society, will have the satisfaction of knowing that the children of the poor will be benefited by their curiosity.' The oratorio selected for per- formance is Herr Schachner's I Israel's Return from Babylon.' THE POPE.—ROME,. June 18.—At the anniversary of the Pope's accession to the Papal chair, his Holiness, in replying to the congregation of Cardinals, said that during his pontificate he had to wrestle first against the enemies of the religion of the Holy See, and, secondly, against the enemies of' all social order, who had as their aim, on the one hand, the advancement of purely ma- terial progress on the other, the total subversion of the principles of authority, justice, and religion, and to despoil the Church of her ancient possessions: He had sought to recall the misguided spirits by encyclical letters, in which was pointed out the fundamental principles of right, honesty, and religion. He had been as the voice in the desert, which had directed the Jews in the way they should follow. The Pope then, turning towards the Bishops, said with emotion -'Venerable brethren, I pray you to redouble your supplications to God and the Immaculate Virgin, that we may be delivered from the serious dangers that compass us. Close round me that together we may fight and triumph. AN ASTOUNDING. CONJUROR.—Galignani says that a most astounding Chinese conjuror, Ling Zoop, is r, i I z, to be seen at the Hippodrome, or at the Chinese Theatre, at the Exhibition. He swallows a sword, long as 'Le sabre, le sabre, de m.on pere,' or as the famed weapon which Alfred bids the knight cast into the shining levels of the Meer. What becomes of this epoglittis-is his jugular vein made of ces triplex, or the coat of his stomach of caoutchouc His must indeed be dura ilia, since they take thus quietly their conversion in a sword sheath. Next he swallows eggs after the swotd an egg is a mere trifle. The shells you will say—well, they might incommode us,but after theswordhas been rammed down into his intestines by a thirty-pound shot he does not stick at trifles. He smokes a cigaret, performs a variety of antics, and then, sure as eggs are eggs, he proves Buffon to be wrong, that man is oviparous, by bringing them fortn unbroken from some out of the way corner in his inside. The savans and doctors admit that they are mystified. They have held their inquest on Ling Loop, and can find scientific solution of the problem, and they broke up their conclave by subscribing to the very general opinion that he is the most astound- ing of all possible conjurors. THE DESCENDANTS OF CAPTAIN COOK'S PIG.- The native (Maori) saying is As the white man's rat has driven away the native rat, as the European fly drives away our own, and the clover kills our fern, so will the Maoris disappear before the white man himself.' It is wonderful to behold the botani- cal and zoological changes which has taken place since Captain Cook set his foot in New Zealand. Some pigs which he left with the natives have in- creased and run wild in such a way that it is 181- possible to destroy them. There are large tracts of the country where they reign supreme. The soil looks as if it were ploughed by their buirowing. Some station-holders of 100,000 acres have had to make contracts for killing them at 6d per tail, and as many as 22,000 on a single run have been killed by adventurous parties without any diminution being discernible. Not only are they obnoxious by occu- pying the ground which the sheep farmer needs for .his flocks, but they assiduously follow the ewes when lambing, and devour the poor lambs as soon as they make their appearance. They do not exist on the western side of the Alps, and only on the lower grounds on the eastern side, where the snow seldom falls, so that the explorer has not the advan- tage of profiting by their existence where food is the scarcest. The boars are sometimes very large, covered with long black bristles, and have enormous tusks, resembling closely the wild boars of the Ardennes, and they are equally savage and courageous. -Dr Hmst'
