Among the passengers who left Liverpool on Saturday afternoon by the African mail steamer Axim was Mr R. F. Locke, who goes out as Commissioner of the Niger Coast Protectorate for the Benin District. Mr Locke, it will be remembered, was, with Captain Boisragen, the only two white men who escaped massacre at the hands of the King of Benin in the unfortunate Acting-consul Phillip's expedition.

Royal Duel. A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER. PRINCE HENRI SEVERELY WOUNDED. PARIS, August 15. The Government had determined to prevent the duel between Prince d'Orleans and the Count of Turin, and Prince Henri's house and the Hotel Continental were closely watched. The encounter was arranged to take place at Vaucresson, beyond St. Cloud, several alternate spots being named. At three o'clock this morning the principals, seconds, and doctors left with the utmost secrecy, and reached the ground about four, selecting a place called the Bois des Marechaux. The swords were now selected. Prince Henri fought with bare hands, and the Count of Turin wore a kid glove. The duel began at five o'clock. Count Leontieff, for the Prince, and Colonel Avogadro di Quinto, for the Count of Turin, acted alternately as umpires, and it was agreed that the bouts should last four minutes. Both combatants were fairly cool. I had the following account from one of the seconds At the first assault each of the duellists felt his way, and the sword play was not exciting. Suddenly the Count of Turin made a fierce thrust, Prince Henri threw back his shoulder, and the blade passed over it, grazing the skin. The com bat was stopped for medical examina- tion, and was then resumed. Both were nervous at the commencement of the second encounter, but they rapidly became warm, pressing one another closely, and coming shoulder to shoulder. At the third bout the Count received a slight touch on the back of the hand. Shortly after this incident Prince Henri made a rapid lunge, and struck the Count on a trousers button near the waist, bending his sword and causing another interruption. He resumed the conflict with a fresh sword. The fourth round was uneventful, though the attack and defence were becoming visibly hotter, both men coming body on, with furious impetuosity. Every one was getting terribly anxious, as the swordsmen were becoming fatigued, and fighting with a looser guard and more reck- less thrusts. At the fifth bout every one felt the end was near. Prince Henri, after feeling his way, began an impetuous attack, the Count defending himself desperately, and slowly retiring. All at once the Prince made a wild lunge, which the Count barely parried, immediately returning the thrust. The Prince overbalanced himself slightly, swung back to avoid the blow, and received the point of his adversary's sword in the lower abdomen. Both combatants dropped their swords. Count Leontieff, shouting: Cease the fight!' sprang forward, and held Prince Henri in his arms. Immediately Dr. Hartmann stepped up and placed the wounded man on the grass. Having being undressed and examined by Dr. Toupet, the latter decided that the wound was not dangerous and bandaged it. "When the operation was completed, Prince Henri, still lying on the grass, called to the Count of Turin, who was looking on, and asked him to shake hands, to which the Count responded warmly, and showed great concern. Prince Henri was then jdriven to the house of the Due de Chartres in the Rue Jean Goujon, and put to bed. There was a great rush to the house when the news got abroad, but only friends, were admitted. Count Leontieff was the only person outside the family who was allowed access to the room where the Prince lay. He was doing well according to the last account, and his father and mother and his brother Jean were with him. M. Crozier, chief of the protocol, called subsequently on behalf of the President. "The Count of Turin left Paris this afternoon. General Albertone's seconds still claim that the Prince must meet him when he is restored to health." PRINCE'S INJURY SERIOUS. PARIS, August 12. The Temps to-day states that the wound received by Prince Henri in the abdomen, without giving any cause for alarm, is of a serious nature. The steel penetrated to a considerable distance, and would have perforated the intestines had it gone half a centimetre further.—Reuter. THE COUNT UNHARMED. PARIS, August 15. The Count of Turin was apparently very little inconvenienced by the slight wound he had received on the hand, and in fact carried a cane in the hand as he walked up and down the platform of the railway station waiting for the train. A number of prominent members of the Italian Colony in Paris went to the station to congratulate him before he left, and he also received a number of congratulatory telegrams, including one from King Humbert.—Dalziel. ITALIAN ENTHUSIASM. ROME, August 15. The excited interest that has all along been taken here in the arrangements for the duel between Prince Henri d'Orleans and the Count of Turin turned to jubilation to-day when the news of the encounter and the victory of the Italian champion came to hand. THE WEAPONS FOUGHT WITH. I PARIS, August 15. The prince brought two swords of French make with him, while the count had not less than four, all beautiful weapons which he had had specially made before leaving Italy.—Dalziel. ORIGIN OF THE DUEL. I PRINCE HEXRI'S OFFENSIVE WRITINGS. The cause of the duel, it need hardly be recalled, was the remarks in certain of the letters which Prince Henri wrote to the Figaro reflecting on the conduct of the Italian officers and soldiers in Abyssinia. Some of them were particularly offensive—for instance, the statement that the Italian officers, while in captivity, drank the health of Menelik on the occasion of his fete. Others that during the battle of Adowa General Albertone remained with his wing without moving while the centre was attacked; that General La Bormida committed suicide at the head of his troops. Again he wrote An Italian of the highest rank is seized by the collar by an Abyssinian. The European draws his revolver. Why should we kill each other ? says the Abyssinian, 'let us embrace'; whereupon the Italian pockets his revolver and embraces the Abyssinian, who takas him. Several Italian soldiers were captured by women. Humble in battle, many Italians tried to show themselves haughty in defeat. They made proposals which unset our ideas of honour."

DOMES, BUBBLES, AND EGGSHELLS. SEKX from a distance ou a fine day the dome of St. Paul's looks as light as a soap bubble and if it could talk, it would tell you it feels as light, for the mighty strength of the great church carries it as a man carries a baby on his shoulder. Yet it weighs —how much, do you fancy A woman stood in the doorway awaiting the retu: ii of her husband. He had left home with a heavy load of anxiety on his mind. Presently she saw him coming. Matters had been satisfactorily adj usted she knew it by his face. Walking quickly up to her, he said—not loudly, but gently, with pauses between his words: Wife'-if-you-skould-heap-a- bu&hel-Qf-e.j'j'ia-tkat-door-I feel- I-could-run-over- them-and-not-break-one." This is in the line of universal experience. Weight —so far as it concerns the human body at least-is not determined by the scales, but by sensation. We beg to introduce Mr John Stafford, who says, I felt as if ct heavy load had been lifted off me." "For over twenty years," he adds, "I had suffered from obstinate indigestion and constipa- tion For more than a week at a time I would never have my bowels moved." The reader is an intelligent person, doubtless. Consider Mr Stafford's statement, then, for a moment, let us put the fact in plain English. His intestines were full of festering rottenness they were like a stagnant moras, breeding disease and death. The poisons engendered by so vile an accumulation are absorbed by the tissues, pass into the blood, and infest every organ and part of the system. If not relieved, the victim will die- poisoned by the products of his own machinery. It is as horrible a-i the Black Hole at Calcutta, and common as weeds in a neglected garden. We are therefore, prepared to hear him say, "I always had a bad taste iu the mouth, my tongue and teeth being covered with a sticky, slimy matter. I was constantly belching up a foul gas or fluid that tastsd sour as vinegar. After eating I had great pain and tightness in the chest, back, and between the shoulders, with a choking feeling in the throat. As time went on I grew weaker and weaker, through loss of appetite and lack of nourishment, until I could hardly follow my work. I tried all sorts of medicines I could hear tell of, but none of them did me any good. In June ;hs:>3) I was so ruu down and feeble I feared I should have to give up altogether. I was under a doctor for several weeks, but his medi- cines did me no good I kept getting worse and worse. At last, in July of the same year my mates at the Marsh Iron Works, where I was em- ployed, told me about Mother SeigeFs Curative Syrup, and urged me to give it a trial. I got a bottle, and after I had taken it a few days I fdt a great improvement. My bowels acted naturally, as they had not previously done for twenty year- my food agreed with IC, and 1 felt as if a heavy load had been lifted off me. Continuing to take the Syrup, I gained strength rapidly, and have been in the best of health ever since. You will believe me when I say that I now recommend this remedy to everybody who suffers from the same complaint. You are welcome to publish my state- ment. Yours truly, (Signed) John Stafford, I.), Spa Terrace, Marsh Ltne, Preston, October 11th, 18!J:3. Indigestion is primarily a disease of the stomach and constipation is one of its results. On account of the torpidity of the liver (all accompaniment of indigestion), liltle or no bile is poured into the bowels, and the fluids of the intestines being dried up by the feverish action there, the partly digested stuff from the stomach becomes hard and solid in the lower bowel, and clogs it. Then it putrifies, producing all the evils from which our friend suffered. Seigel's Syrup cured him by setting things right at the source of trouble. We con- gratulate Mr Stafford on his escape it was narrow enough for the strongest and boldest. The scale it wi!i te!l him he weighs more than he has in twenty years his feelings tell him that he could stand n un egg Huci not break it, could stand on an egg and not break it.

ERRORS IN FOOD AND DRINK. BY A SPECIALIST. It is dawning on the public to try and prevent, or at least to arrest, disease. It is in prevention that Kola plays an important part, acting solely as a first-class nourishing food-it strengthens the system to resist, oppose, and overcome the attacks of disease. You'll hear someone say, "So-and-so has q strong constitution" follow that up, and you'll find that So-and-so follows the golden rule of being temperate in all things, and pays attention to diet and exercise. Does he or she keep up this strong constitution by taking medicine or swal- lowing pills No indeed They have discovered that prevention is better than cure. Dr. Tibbies' Vi- Cocoa places a means in the hands of everyone to build up and maintain a sound constitution, which enables its possessor to travel his life's journey without the aches and pains which are in many cases preventible. Thus we come round again to sound common-sense based on experience. Consider for one instant how hops have played such an important part in the world's history. For hundreds of years this highly-prized vegetable product has soothed and cheered mankind. What would beer be without hops ? With or without beer (better without) it is a first-class bitter tonic and a food, and is, over and above all, what is, called in medicine, a diuretic- that is, it acts specially on the kidneys. This is within the knowledge of most people. By its healthy action on the kidneys it, in conj unction which Kola, keeps those organs in healthy working order. The amount of good done by Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa on the kidneys cannot be over estimated. When you see a man or woman bloated, soft, puffy under the eyes, suspect some kidney derangement. After using Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa this unhealthy, dull listlessness dis- appears, and on trial you will see how beneficially Kola and Hops have acted. Do not imagine, however, because you have a pain in the small of the back that you have kidney trouble. It may be a touch of lumbago, due to a sudden cooling of the muscle in that region, which will readily yield to Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, combined with judicious exercise and temperance. All the leading medical journals recommend Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, and Dr. G. H. Haslam writes:- It gives me great pleasure in bearing testimony to the value of Vi-Cocoa, a mixture of Malt, Hops, Kola, and Caracas Cocoa Extract. As a general beverage it excels all previous preparations. No house should be without it." Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa is made up in Gd. packets, and 9d. and Is. 6d. tins. It can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers, and Stores, or from Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa Limited, 60, 61, and 62, Bunhill Row, London. E.C. As an unparalleled test of merit a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa will be sent free on I application to any address, if when writing (a post- card will do) the reader will name the Milford Haven Telegraph.

A Mad Theosophist. I CLAIMANT TO THE THRONE OF > ENGLAND. i Mr G. F. Roumieu, coroner for West Surrey, held an inquiry last week at Dorking into the circumstances attending the death of Ernest Mulliner, a chartered accountant, lately residing at Archibald Villa, Linaker Street, Southport. The deceased was a well-known writer on legal matters, and was the author of several novels. Mrs Alice Galloway, sister-in-law of the deceased said that Mr Mulliner had been strange in his manner for some time past. He had been in an asylum, but had been taken out. She knew of no reason why he should go to Dorkiug, unless it was that he mistook the place for W. okmg, where the crematorium was, as he had frequently expressed a desire to be cremated when he died. George Graves, boots at the White Horse Hotel. Dorking, deposed that the deceased gentleman drove to the hotel in a Victoria last Tuesday, and ordered a bedroom. The next morning witness found the deceased lying on the bed dead, with a bullet wound in his temple. A revolver was by his side. Superintendent Alexander spoke to being called to the hotel and finding the deceased dead. On the dressing table was a slip of paper, upon which was written, in the deceased's handwriting:— 41, Linaker Street, Southport. "Here is £ 13 5s. for hotel and the cremation of mv body with all clothes ou. Only my books and papers to be preserved. The Bar Society are to have my lectures on Roman Law and International Equity Common Law Procedure, Criminal and Constitutional Law, and Real and Personal Property. This is the act of a sane man. There must be no postmortem. It is true that I have heart collapse, but this declaration that I have taken the life of my body is sufficient in law for the verdict. ERNEST MULLIXER." Continuing, Superintendent Alexander said that there was also a large number of remarkable documents in the deceased gentleman's bedroom. The first set out a claim of the deceased gentleman as the rightful Heir-Apparent to the Throne, the circumstances connected with which claim, the deceased stated, had been communicated to him by means of mental telepathy. The document com- menced "To Victoria., MOllarch-Apparent,-Take notice of this appeal, made according to constitutional law, and a copy of which has been dispatched to the Speaker of the House of Commons, for attachment without the building of the House of Parliament, for publication to the common weal, that I, Ernest Mulliner, member of the Incorporated Society of Accountants and of the Theosophical Society of the World, know by the process of mental telepathy that it is said by many of the nation that the present monarch reigning is not the true monarch, but another person is." The document continued to set out matters purporting to show that this belief had been extending, and proceeded In February, 1885, I did remember that I had lived before, and so did many others, and in proof of this I do refer to the publication of Borderland.' Also, I refer, as proof, to the publications of the Theosophical Society, letters from the society to me from Mr A. P. Sinnett to me, and from the Theosophical Society of India to me, bearing out the existence of mental telepathy. And I do say that others have said in my presence that they remember living before. About the end of March, 1895. there did arise a conspiracy against me of many persons of religion and politics by reason af mental telepathy being greatly established by myself, and by reason also of allegations being made by other,, than myself that I was the true heir to the throne of this realm. Therefore, was there a conspiracy to place me, while I was suffering from influenza in the house of my supposed mother at Bolton, into an asylum for the insane with the object of causing my death from shock. But [ do say that the main question of inquiry and judgment is whether the allegation is true or not, in whole or part, that I am the true heir to the throne of this realm by reason of the change of monarch about the year 1861, when the present monarch-apparent (crowned in 18:37) did abdicate in favour of a woman truly entitled to the throne, which woman is said to have given birth to myself. I say that by reason of this I am true heir to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. If the title is denied me by the Court, I do claim compensation for improper interference with my liberty to the amount of £ 5,000 The present monarch-apparent -Victoria was not in 1837 the true monarch, but another woman was, and in the year 1861, the year of the death of the Prince Consort, and of my certificated birth as Ernest Mulliner, this woman did accept the throne from Victoria by abdication. I say I was given birth to by this lady when she was Queen, and that I was taken away and said to be dead or lost, and was placed with the tamily of Mulliner, of Bolton, whose wife did have a son child, which was taken to Windsor Castle, and still lives there. This was done secretly and without the mother's knowledge. After the French War, about 1872, the present Queen returned to the throne." The document then dwells on the great amount of consternation which the mental telepathic allegation of the deceased's claim to the the throne had made in Court Circles, and of the feeling which had been engendered against him by various well-known personages on this account, A list of these persons was given, among whom were Lord Salisbury, Earl Russel, Mr Cecil Rhodes, Sir. Edward Clarke, Mr Labouchere, Duke of Devonshire, Mr Gladstone, Mr Michael Davitt, and various judges. The document concluded:—This appeal for Court of Inquiry I make of my own free will and thought, and with all respect of the dignity of this realm. The medical evidence showed that the deceased had 1 succumbed to in juries inflicted by bullet wounds in the head. These had been evidently self-infiicted. The jury returned a verdict of Suicide while temporarily insane."

PRISON REVELATIONS. I WARDERS TRAPPED BY A CONVICT. The ingenious methods by which a convict undergoing penal servitude played the detective successfully in prison against two warders were disclosed on Friday at Exeter Police-court. The accused were Thomas Edward Jenkins, warder, and James Turner, assistant-warder. Both had been in the service at Exeter Prison since 1888. Each was charged on Friday before the magistrates with breaches of the prison regulations, viz., conveying a letter from a prisoner and conveying a cheque payable to himself. The accused pleaded guilty. The circumstances were narrated by Mr Beal, of Exeter, who appeared for the Public Prosecutor. He said the acts of the two men were entirely separate. He understood that, notwithstanding rules and rcgulations which were laid down, the prisoners talked with each other. A convict named Edward J. Hole, from observa- tions he had made and conversation he had heard, came to the conclusion that these men were carrying on an illegal system, and receiving money from prisoners' friends outside for conveying in and out things which were not allowed. Hole, who was undergoing a sentence of five years penal servitude, seemed to have come to the conclusion that he would be doing something to benefit society if he got at the bottom of it. and, knowing that hi-j word would not be taken unless he had direct proof, he laid himself out to catch both defendants. Hole had not had any quarrel with the defendants. Hole first spoke to Jenkins, and asked him whether he would convey something out of prison, an 1 f. ukins said that if money were planked down h- v i stick at nothing. Hole then asked him if he woui a letter for him, and Jenkins answered he would io so if Hole gave him £ •>. Hole answered that he could not do that, but he would give him A POST-DATED CHEQUE. tor :E--), and redeem it when he < I ili" liberty. There was the question as to how TI• -i.^ managed to get the cheque, but it seemed that he w.;s a !,ookl)ii,der, and had access to the prison library, wli»iv he obtained a book entitled, "The Prince of the If >use of David," the flyleaf of which was of peculiar ;.a tern. He tore this out, and, being a good penman, wrote cheques which were almost like lithographed copy, but had no stamp. Some time after Jenkins came to Hole, and said that the risk vvas too great, for the cheque was post-dated, and therefore he wanted something more to go on with, and Hole drew another cheque for C2 2s, and handed it to him. There the matter rested nnti! Juuo last, when Hole, having been removed from Exet-r -o Parkhurst, seemed to have thought it time to make communication, and he wrote to the Prison Commissioners 0:1 the circumstances, in consequence of which a trap was laid for catching defendants. Letters were written purporting to com from Mrs Hole, but really they came from Mrs Clements, wife of a sergeant in the Devon Constabulary, and were posted at Winchester Place, at which Hole's wife was supposed to reside. These letters purporting to come from Mrs Hole, expressed her gratefulness to defendants for the kindness shown her husband, and expressing a desire to redeem cheques which had been given. Appointments were made to meet Turner at Queen-street Station, and Jenkins at St. David's Station. Turner did not go himself, but sent his sister-in-law with abetter and a cheque which had been given him. They were delivered to the supposed Mrs Hole, who at once communicated with the police officer there, and the sister-in-law accompanied them to the constabulary office, where the matter was investigated. Jenkins himself went to St. David's Station. He told the supposed Mrs Hole he had not brought the cheques, but sufficiently identified himself. The supposed Mrs Hole did not care to let him have the money without the cheques, and Jenkins went home to fetch them. On return he said he thought his wife had burnt them. He was then taken into custody. Jenkins, against whom there were three charges, was fined £3 and costs for each offence, and Turner, against whom there were two charges, was fined a similar amount on each charge, the alternative being one month's imprisonment.

M.P. IN A HERRING BO A. T. PLEASING EXAMPLE FOR OTHER LEGISLATORS. Whether other M.P's will take a lesson from the doings of one of their number and plunge into practical acquaintanceship with the trades and industries of their respective constituencies is doubtful, but it would be certainly intensely amusing if they would. A short time ago Captain Pirie, M.P. for Aberdeen, made himself practically acquainted with the working of the trawlers by venturing to sea in a trawl boat; and on Monday he embarked in a Footdee fishing boat in order to gain some experience of the other side of the fishing question. At the setting of the sails Captain Pirie lent a willing hand, and his adroitness at handling the ropes, the Aberdeen Free Press tells us, was greatly admired by the crew. In the deck work also the honourable member took an active part. When late at night, twenty-seven miles from land, shoals of herring dashed into the nets, Captain Pirie at once offered to help, and after donning an oilskin jacket and sea-boats, he assisted to drive the capstan by which the nets were hauled on board. He did not give up this self-imposed task until all the fish had been safely landed in the boat. Then he helped to shoot the net again and set the sails. Throughout the night he paced the deck, ever ready to share in the crew's work. He took the greatest interest in all that was done on board the vessel, and made himself familiar with all the ordinary fishing operations. He steered the boat with quite seamanlike care, and acquitted himself in such a way as to draw from the skipper his loudest praise.
