In Essex, offerings have beeu too libeial for trade to be even firm, nevertheless, concessions have not been made. At Manchester and also in London, the competition of foreign wheat hps not sufficed to reduce the value of home produce, the enquiry being sufficient to support both sorts.

YOU WILL NEVER GET BETTER, CAROLINE." When that wave strikes me I shall be washed xityiij and drowned So cried a sailor, clinging to a half-sunken wreck as ho saw a tremendous sea rolling towp.rds him. Yet he lived to tell the tale safe on shore. Before this time next week I shall be dead So said a woman in a time of great fear. Yet "hrJ also lived and still lives-to explain her situa- tion. Here is her story, told in her own words and in her own way. She says :—" One day in Septem- ber, 1887, I stood at the top of a flight of eleven steps, about to go down. Suddenly I was taken w:th a giddy sensation. Everything seemed to .Ri,im around me, and I fell. I rolled to the bottom of the steps and was picked up insensible, with a broken arm. The doctor recommended re*t mid quietness. In a few days I was better, bur, ¡J! fi-lt the shock to my nervous system. '• Then many bad symptoms appeared. I had ni unconformable feeling all over me which I f-nn-iot describo. I couldn't eat; my appetito Lrono. There was a foul taste in my mouth; ■■rns in fhn sides, back, and chest; coated tongue a sense of weakness and distress in the st-miaoh. I felt low and melancholy, and had anxieties and fears I could not trace to any par- ''<d;ir cause. The doctor who attended me for .:r¡:n8 months stid it was nei rous debility, brought •■■lit by t ir" shock. I !t worse instead of better, and went to the London Hospital, Whiteehapel Road, where I was an ont-nati&nfc for several months, but I kept rtrr worse. They said I was suffering with II icic, liver congestion, and debility. I was then cent to the Brighton Convalescent Home, where they treated me for fourteen days, and did little or no good. In a short time I began to despair, ;u.d my husband and others who came to see me thou iht I was doomed. Thus I went on from month j month, expecting each week would be my last. Air iiri and again I whispered solemnly to myself, Before this time next week I shall be dead!' 1 took no further interest in anything pertain- mg to this world, but, thank God I have a good huahund nnrl a good home. My hnsband carried me from iiir bed every day, and placed me in the chair sofa, and tried to cheer me np and persuade rmJ i would g..t better. But since I have really got well he tells me he never in his heart believed ins own words. Mv sister, too, came frequently to see me, and di<l all she could to ease my sufferings; but, being unable to resist what her own eyes showed her, sho often said, You will never get better, C ?")! i n. a But who likes to read accounts of the troubles and sorrows of others ? so much do each and all of us have of our own to bear. I crave your nff Mifi ni only for a few words more. 1 went on in this way-like one who stands on the crumbling edge of an open grave-until F I 'uiry, 1890, when a little book was left at my simp which told of the remarkable cures wrought ill Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. The narra- tive of the Policeman of Holyhead greatly im- pressed me. I said to my husband, 'The com- plaint that policeman suffered from is my com- plaint. The remedy that cured him may cure I sent at once over to Messrs. Lacy and Co., the Chemists, Whitechapel Road, for a bottle. It did Tn0 good. I could eat; but, better still, the food digested. Before this, when I swallowed a mouthful of solid food it seemed to turn to wind ov sour aeid and gas, and gave me such pain I I had heart disease. "T persevered with the medicine, and after ¡.i.'1P' six bottles I never felt so well in my life. I ii(-,w eat as heartily as anyone, and am never d?-stressed after taking food. In fart, I can now t'ai a jolly dinner, and I leave you to imagine what a ti-,j-L that is after beinrr bad so long. My husband and relatives, as well as my neigh- bonrs, are all of my opinion—that Mother Seigel's Syrup saved my life. (Signed) Mrs. CAROLINE SAGE, wife of Mr. Henry Sage, Basket Maker and Stationer, 200, Whitrchspel Road, London, E." One poiut only in Mrs. Sage's statement needs a word of explanation. The fall downstairs, in her illness apparently began, was in fact the of the malady, which had for some tima. undermining her nervous system—namely, i:f.f.r,tion and dyspepsia, and the giddiness wl K l; ■ eeasioucd the fall was merely ouo of its PTir.i iiir-i i.

MADAME PATrI IN BERLIN. The year's musical season in Berlin reached its E1 on Friday night with the concert of Madame Adeluia Patti. The name of Patti sulhced to crowd the large Philharmonic-hall to the remotest corner, in spite of prices which, for Berhners, are high, although no higher than what is usual in Paris and London. The directors were forced to raise the prices, as they had to pay E500 and travelling expenses. Madame Patti has not been here for almost thirteen years, and those who saw and heard her on Fri- day night again were astonished that her unrivalled voice and style of singing had not suffered in the time. She called forth a real storm of unthusiasm with the Last Rose of Summer, which has never been heard in Berlin to such perfection. The greit arh with flute accompani- ment from" Lucia di Lammemoor," II Bacio, the seranade of Schubert, and Gounod's Ave Maria" were greeted by the brilliant audience with such outbursts of applause that the diva must certainly have almost believed that she was amongst the hot-blooded natives of the South. Half an hour after the concert was over the audience still s'ood cilling for her to appear, which she repeatedly did.

LLOYD'S BANK. Mr T. Silt, M. P., presided at the annual meeting of Lloyd's Btnb, Limited, in 33irmingham, on Monday, In moving the adoption of the report, which recomuieuded 1H per cent. dividend, the 2 chairman pointed out that during the past twenty- five years the total of the balance-sheet had increased from rather more than XI,000,000 to £ 22,000,000, and the reserve from X27,000 to jC850,0(0. The extension in South Wales by the acquisition of the Brecon Old Bank, and the establishment of other branches in the Principality had resulted in a satisfactory increase of business. They had the advantage of the constant attend- ance at the board of the senior partner of the Breon firm, aud his son's valuable services as one of the inspectors-The report was adopted.

THREE YEARS IN A SIBERIAN MINE. EXPERIENCES OF AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN. Joseph Morris, a sea captain, belonging to Boston, has just returned home after suffering terrible treatment at the hands of the Russians in Eastern Siberia. He was captain of the schooner Helena, which sailed from Yokohama on 11th April, 1883. on a cruise to the Behring Islands for walrus. The schooner had a crew of four American and 22 Japanese sailors. She made a successful I run, and was returning to Yokohama when she was stopped and overhauled by a Russian warship, which fired, and compelled the schooner to heave to. The Russians appear, from Capt. Morris's story, to have behaved in a very arbitrary manner. He says.—"Our Japanese were huddled together J forward, and the Russian sailors, as their ship drew near, opened fire with their rifles, shooting right straight into the bunch of Japanese, killing- 11 1 seven of them. I didn't understand this at first, I but on looking up I saw that our flag was flying. I then knew at once what was the matter, and seizing a hatchet I cut the downhaul and let the fla., fall overboard. The firing then ceased. The warship proved to be the Rosabonach. She took the schooner in tow to Vladivostock, where we were tried and convicted of violating the seal fishing laws. There was no American consul at the port, and we had no counsel. We were condemned to be imprisoned in a coal mine for three years. The mine was situated at Nicolaski, 150 miles south- ward of Vladivostock, near the Gulf of Penjinsk. The membore of the party were sent to different parts of the mine, and were obliged to send up ten tons of coal per day for the first year, and six tons per day each of the following years. If they failed to do this they received no rations," Morris adds that he was fastened to a native of Poland by means of a chain eight feet long, and he saw no one else but this Polander until he was liberated, not being allowed to leave the mine during the whole of the three years. They slept on the floor of the mine, and subsisted on rice. At the end of three months Morris's companion died, but nobody came to release him from the body. After being tied to the corpse for 15 day,, Morris cut the Polander's body 111 two with a shovel, and got it upon a load of coal. A hammer and chisel were then sent down to him, with which he cut off the chain and he walked out of the mine free. He found one of his crew, who had also been freed, and together they tramped to Vladivostock, the Russians re- fusing to transport them. They were ragged aud covered with vermin. At Vladivostock they were fortunate enough to find an American vessel which took them to Nagasaki, where the United States consul provided them with clothes and furnished them a passage to Yokohama, from which place they went to San Francisco, and thence Morris came home to Boston. Of the whole of his crew of twenty-six, he could only find that one of them was alive when he was liberated from the mines.

DEATH OF A PEMBROKESHIRE CENTENARIAN. The death occurred on Sunday morning at the Dyffryn Cottages, near Fishguard, of Eleanor (Nelly) Phillips, at the age of 103. Her age is pretty accurately fired by a statement she was wont to make, that she was nine years old when the French landed at Fishguard. She was a spinster, and had been bedridden for eight years. When a mere girl she was in service at Kilshave, near Fish- guard, and was driving cows from a field when the French frigates appeared off the coast in 1797.

THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CARMARTHEN BOROUGHS. A UNIONIST CANDIDATE SELECTED. It is rumoured that Mr F. W. Bond has con- sented to contest the Carmarthen Boroughs seat in the Unionist interest at the next general election. A member of the National Liberal Club, Mr Bond became a Unionist when Mr Gladstone introduced his ill-fated Home Rule Bill. It is certain that a good fight will be made for the seat, as apart from the Unionist strength disclosed in the election of 1886, when the sitting member gained his seat by a majority of 223 only in a poll of over 4,000 votes. Mr Bond is the senior partner in the fi m owning the South Wales Tin-plate Works, the largest industry in Llanelly.

Mr H. M. Stanley was, last week, the guest of the New York Press Club. In reply to the toast of his health, his speech vra3 mainly devoted to African affairs and the recent Erain Expedition to Africa. Referring to the difficulties which he encountered on reaching the Victoria Nyanza, Mr Stanley siid that when be was at the point where Dr Livingstone turned back he was in do Ibt whether to continue bis journey or to return. With a view of deciding the question he tossed op a coin with a sailor, who believed in games of chance. The coin decided that he should turn back, but h refused to accept the decision. He then tried hi < luck by means of long straws and short straws, and three times the straws declared advers ly. Mr Stanley's conscienee, however, taught him that to do his duty at any cost was the only way to glory, and he went on.

We have frequently met persons possessed with an abundant store of the good things of this life, but through imprudence and excesses of various kinds have rendered themselves incapable of enjoying their wealth. Many of these would willingly part with all they now possess to regain the health they have lost through their own folly or neglect. By sumptuous living, a lack of proper attention to diet and other sanitary precautions, they have grosfly impaired their health, impoverished and poisoned their blood, and weakened their constitutions. Impure or impoverished blood is a fruitful source of many of the ailments that "flesh is heir to," and is generally caused by souse derangement of one or more of the vital organs of the body; for instane-, by defective digestion and a torpid or sluggish liver. It is demonstrated more clearly from day to day that the most successful remedy for all ailments caused by Indigestion, Deranged Liver, or Impure Blood, is GWllym Evans' Quinine Bitters. The most common symptoms of the derangement of these organs, and consequently ot impure blood, are dyspepsia, biliousness, nervousness, lo^\ spirits, melancholy, uneasy sleep, frightful dreams, loss of appetite, skin eruptions, &c., from some of which so many suffer and which cause so many discomforts in our homes, and sometimes lead to still more painful and appalling results. The Bitters which have proved so efficacious to thousands of sufferers from the above and other ailments is compased of NATURE'S REMEDIES only, and contains no mineral or other injurious substance. It is effective when taken by the strong man, and will not injure the weakest and most delicate woman or child; it is suitable to all ages atall seasons of the year; it directly aims to remove the cause and root of the evil is easily obtained, and can always be at hand, and is a remedy that has proved efficacious in numerous instances when all other remedies had failed. At this season of the year no one should be with- out Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. A course taken now will be invaluable in giving tone to the system, new life to the blood, and in bracing the nerves. Avoid imitations, Remember that none arc genuine except "Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters." See the name on the stamp, label, and bottle. Should any difficulty be experienced in procuring it, vrite to the Proprietors, who will forward it per return parcel post, carriage paid, to any address. In bottles at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each.
