IS YOUR BLOOD ALL RIGHT? j As much blood passe* through the kidneys as through the heart, J There is nothing R'eatUing about this fact except it be a revelation. Many people have but. dim idea of the real -work of the kidneys. They not only drain the water from the system. but also the poisonous matter which that water holds in solu- tion to oarry out of the system. Over half the time, however, the kidneys fail to do this work What is the result? Gradual failure of strength and health, and eventually death by Bright's disense, or some unsuspected kidney disease. You had better have a care Kidney poison is accumu- lilting in your hlood. Tonics won't do any good they only treat effects. You can only secure a radical and thorough renovation of the system by the prompt use of Warner's SAFE Cure, which is the only reliable, scientific specific for the blood, because it is tbe only known epecitio in the world for all forms of kidney derangement, and the kid- neys, as ststed, are the only great blood purifiers. Mrs Thomas Joliff, the Quay, Polperro, Corn- wall, suffered for fonr years from a complication of disca,cR eauspd I.y ¡¡,active ltidne)s. Her body was covered with black spots the size of one's hand, her skin became Fcaly and finally peeled off entirely. Her medical man said her trouble was from blood poisoning, She could get no relief and was regarded as a curiosity. She took Warner's SAFE Cure, her skin became clear and white and not a sign now remains of her former trouble. Mr Robert Spirr, Newgate, Pontefraot, was a victim to disease caused by kidney-poisoned blood for ten years. He could get no permanent relief f. om the doctors, and began to lose heart. One day a friend advised him to use Warner's SAFE Cure. He did so, and experienced relief. The pain left him, and he recovered his health. The above two cases are as good as a hundred. They prove what is stated. that the organs that remove the impurities from the blood are the kid. neys, bnd that when impaired there is but one sound, rational method of treatment, and that is with NN arn r's SAFF; Curo, which can be procured of all chemists at 4s 6d per bottle, or of H.

A WELSH CENTENARIAN. I A correspondent writes:—We have an old lady of 108 living in Wales, at Pyle, Glamorganshire, in a small thatched cottage, with her ymm 'est daughter. She was born at Llansamlet, near Swansea, and her age is 108, without a doubt. Her eyesight is wonder- fully strong and clear; she can distinguish ve8!3els easi'y tour or five miles distant A few days ago, looking over the bay, she noticed a large steamboat passing, and she remarked to her daughter that there was a large vessel passing with nothing on the n11sts. She is in receipt of parish relief. Her eldest daughter, 87 years of age, was coming by train to see her mother one day, when a commercial asked her if she was going a long journey. She replied in the negative, and added that she was only going to the next station that she was really on a visit to her mother. The astonished roadster replied, "Look here, old lady; you are going to see your mother, are you? I am not so green as I look. I cannot believe that." Quite a fact though," said a friend of mine wto WHS present. "I know both." Photo- graphs of her have been taken and some are sold for her benefit.

MR GLADSTONE AND THE EISTEDDFOD. The following correspondence, waicn was received by Mr 10. Morris, chairman of the EiH. teddfod Committee, from Mr Gladstone, was read at the meetihg of the eisteddfod on Friday morn- 118 Hawarden Castlo, Chester, September 6th. My Dear Hir,—I made a very stunid mistake at the eisteddfod in ascribing to Professor Rhys the interesting tract written by Mr Ivor James. I have addressed to him a letter of apology, and if there be any record of the proceedings of the eis- teddfod to which the letter could be attached, or in which it conld be noticed, this would best appease my remorse. Yon will, I am sure, excuse my call- ing in your aid as chairman of the committee. I am sure ( shall have your sympathy, and I ven- ture to relv upon your adopting such means as you may think best for publishing my letter in the Record or in the local papers. Allow me to take this opportunity of thanking yon and Mrs Morris for your very kind and agreeable hospitality.—I remain, faithfully yoor', W. E. GLADBTOSI. c, Evan Morris, Esq. p.s._l received your kind message, and heard with great pleasure of the good receipts co Hawarden Castle, Chester. September 6th. My Dear Sir,- Professor Rhys can very well afford to dispense with the compliment I paid him, and he is the Isst man who would with to be a receiver of stolen goods; but I hardly know how to apologise to you for my lapse of tongue. It is well that yon have in your own hands the means of con- fronting it. I ask vonr pardon, and it is ail I can (io but you have already returned good for evil in conveying to me the assurance, which I received with great pleasure, that you have been engaged in the further prosecution of your researches into Welsh history.—I remain, my dear sir, yours faith- {u)j? W. E. (JLADSTO?E. "'Ivor James, Esq. W. E. GLADSTOE. .< p.S.—I feel sure you will not disapprove of my procuring the publication of this letter as the best means of making my apology effective."

MICHAEL DAVITT AND MR GLADSTONE. Mr Michael Davitt, in addressing a National demonstration at Kuockarco, Queen's County, on Sunday, said Mr Balfour, in his present treatment of Ireland, represented the same malignant feeling towards Ireland which charaaterisod the British Government centuries ago. It was the Westmin- ster Parliament, whielt-was supported by the Eng- lish people out of ignorance, who did all the mis- chief. If such acts were perpetrated in Russh or Turkey the landlords wonld be sent to gaol or the gallows but because the brutality and infamy at the very doors of Englishmen had no compassion or feelin" of admiration for a struggling class, the multitude and the magnitude of the outrages com- mitted in Ireland seemed to have frozen up the wells of sympathy in Euglish natnre, and to tnri) what would be the compassion and remorse of generous minds into poisonous venom like that of the London Tme>, which was without a parallel in the record of national animosities. He confessed that he could not acquit the prominent men of the Liberal Party from a !u tet ftire attitude towards the exterminating policy of Lord Salisbury, whicii looked like a left-handed acquiescence in eviction as a means of thinning tbe population of Ireland. It was the general custom at meetings and in the Nationalist papers to laal Mr Gladstone to the skies. The cry Gloria Gladstone in exceWms had gone too far. So long as the Liberal Party re- main indifferent to the atrocities being perpetrated in Ireland they had no faith iu the boasted alliance of English Liberals with the Nationalist Party. In 1886 a hundred Liberals promised to visit Ireland and defv coercion, but they bad not yet done SQ, under the belief that they would have preached patience to the people and a fortearanoa from re- taliatiou that would be cowardly under other cir- oumstanoes. The alliance, which was expected to be < hisid, had proved a handcuff, leaving the people defenceless. Unless th* Liberal Party dii something to ensure confidence some of them would feel oompelled to fall back on means and methods not.constitutional for the licensed instru- ments of tyranny. No time shonld, in his opinion, be lost in rallying their forces the world over for a a'-fi.it. oanti)fign a/ainst the home destroyers. If people did Hot defend to the death their hearth- stones, they wC>\lllrt never prove themselves worthy of getting their ocuntry to rn)a A raM that would l1ow the B?)f?m? or Oanrifarlea to tmble their t?mf!' about the<r ??ra were unworthy of any Bym. p?thy The M)Mt.'<" denied that evMtiona ware orflamsea by the National Leagne to ezeite the synnpathy of England.

NEW COMET. The discovery of the fifth comet of this year was made at the Lick Observatory, California, at 4.27 a.m. ou the morniug of the 3rd inst.,by Mr Barnard, The position ot the comet at above time was right ascension, 6b. 52min.; north declination lldeg. Omin. The nucleus is about Imlll. in diameter, and tolerably well defined. It is of the 11th mtlgnitade, and has no tail.

A HOARY-HEADED SCAMP. A shocking case of attempted murder is reponeu from Northampton. A woman bad been iiving with a shoemaker, who is nearly seventy years of age. The man had been drinking, and the woman left him, refusing to return. He met her on Satur- day among the tombs in St. Giles's churchyard and cut her tbroat. The polioe have arrested the man, and the victim is in the hospital iu a dangerous state.

WHY DID HE DO IT? or TU_ At nine o'clock on Sunday morning uir niuwoiu Montague Rashdell, a gentleman, aged about 26 years, was found dead in his bed, 3, Eccleston- square, Relgravia, shot through the head with a revolver, which was found grasped in his right hand. Mr Rashdell had only lately returned from visiting his friends in Suffolk. Nothing strange was noticed in his demeanour.

DEATH UNDER CHLOROFORM. An iuquest has been held, before the Liverpool coroner, relative to the death of William Smith, aged 42 years, a last turner. Smith bad his finger injured by a circular saw, and WflS taken to the Northern Hospital, and two of the fingers were removed under chloroform. It was proposed to remove another, and chloroform was administered by Dr. Harber, assistant house surgeon. He was just commencing the operation when the pulse of the deceased was observed to be veiv weaK. me administration of chloroform was at once stopped, and ether administered under the skin. Artificial respiration was also resorted to, but without effect, and the man succumbed. It was found that death was due to failure of the heart's action, caused by struggling whilst partly under the influence of chloroform.—The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence, adding that the chloroform was suitably and skilfully adminis- tered.

THE LIBERAL UNIONISTS. DEMONSTRATION AT NOTTINGHAM. "4.- 1. ? -1 I The approaching meetings oi Lilverm, V (]lUlJl. to be held at Nottingham on the 26th inst., under the auspices of the Nottingham and Notts Liberal Unionist Association and the National Radical Union, in connection with which Mr J. Chamber- lain will visit the town, are likely to be very suc- cessful gatherings. In the afternoon a conference will be held in the lectnre room of the Albert Hall, Derby-road, and will be attended by numerous delegates from Liberal Unionist Associations throughout the Midland Counties. Mr Powell. Williams, M.P., chairman of the Executive of the National Radical Union, will preside, and Mr Chamberlain will attend and address the conference, In the evening the right hon. gentleman will be the principal speaker at a great public meeting in the Albert Hall, the largest public room in the town. At this meeting the chair will be taken by the Duke of St. Albans, who is the president of the Notting- ham and Notts Liberal Unionist Association. Among those who have already signified their inten- tion of being present are the Earl of Camperdown, Lord Bel per, Viscount Wolmer, M.P., the Right Hon. E. Heneage, M.P.. Mr R. Chamberlain, M P., Mr Jesse Collings, M P., Mr W. Morrison, M.P., Mr Storey Maskelyne, M.P., Mr Wiggin, M.P., Sir W. W. Evans, Sir Charles Wolseley, an,1 Colonel Seely.

THE UNIONIST PARTY. The Standard, in referring to the Unionist gath- ering which is to take place at Nottingham in a fortnight, observes that nothiug has been more remal kable in the history of the resistance offered by prominent public men of every 'school and partv of politics to the Home Rule scheme than the absolute subordination of personal feeling to the welfare of the common- wealth. The Nottingham demonstration will lie peculiarly interesting, partly by reason of the place itself, partly in consequence of the nresence of st9.tesmen and politicians who once fonght under the same banner with some hesitation. But it will be only one more evidence of the indubitable fact that Unionism continues to gain groundSin the oountrv, and that the Separatist cause, far from making headway, is visibly losing heart and con- fidence. The tenacity of its venerable chief is not to be denied. A vigorous man of action to the last, Mr Gladstone continues and does all that in him lies to inspirit his followers. But if we could only think of him as ceasing to be the guiding genius cf the Separatists, the movement would collapse altogether. He makes no converts. Even the most unsophisticated intelligences, if at all candid, cannot well resist the striking testimony brought against Mr Gladstone's fidelity in the defection from his side of such old friends and followers as Lord Selborne, Mr Bright, Sir Henry James, and Mr Chamberlain. A spectacle of this kind is calculated to influence many kinds that are imper- vious to verbal arguments, insensible to historic illustrations, and dead to the warnings afforded by the example or the fate of other commui.itifs. For these reasons it is, among others, that the canse of Unionism is every day advancing in olidity and enthusiasm, while the advocates of the counter policy are at length showing signs that they feel that the game of Home Rule is up. On the side of Separation, the struggle is kept going only by the indomitable obstinacy and recklessness of its leader. Mr GladRtone, it must be owned, shows no "signs of wavering. But he fights more and more wi,(ily, and maintains the conflict with the violence rather of desperation than of oonviction; He has burnt his boats, but his army is losing courage.

WELSH FATR AT WYNNSTAY. On Monday Lady Williams-Wynn opened a Welsh fair in aid of the fund for the resto-ation of Ruabon Parish Church, which was founded by Mabon in the sixth century.

I SAFE INVESTMENTS. (From The Eiitboume btanaara.) 1_ In these times, when fortnnps are mace anu iu»» in a day—when many a man is rich to.dy Md poor to.morrow; in theee times of limited liability oompanies and joint-stock epeculatious. one should be verv careful of his investments. Old and tried remedies, like old and reputable firms, should always be sought after in preference to new and untried experiments, by the investor. If this advice wss always followed, the result would be far more satisfactory than those sometimes ob- tained, as in the case of Mr9 William Press, of Sayers Common, Hurstpierpoint. Sussex, who states that a friend of hers who used St. Jaoobs Oil for rheumatism paid She would not be without this marvellous remedy for a fortune." Mrs Press thought if that was the case, she would give it a trial herself, having been seriously afflicted for many years with rheumatic and nenralgic pains in her head, shoulders, and arms, for which she had tried many of the new experiments said to onre rheumatism and neuralgia, but which cost her a. great deal of money and from the nse of which she received no benefit. Aoting on the advice of her friend, she immediately proonred St. Jacobs Oil, and by frrqnent applications, the pain from whioh she had suffered so long was quite removed, and she now enjoys good health, is free from pain, and happy; so she, too, naturapv thinks she would not be without St. J Mobs Oil for a fortune."

ROBBING AUTOMATIC SWEETMEAT MACHINES. On Tuesday,at the Manchester City Police Court, before Mr J. A. Birch and Mr.J. Clapham, Alfred Brez, aged 15, living at 81, Edward-street, Lower Broughton, and George Rowbotham, aged 13. 76 Ellison-street, Lower Broughton, were charged with stealing chocolate from a machine belonging to the Antomatic Sweetmeat Delivery Company, r,imited. at London Road Station. By means of metal discs of the size and weight of a penny, the prisoners abstracted several pieces of chocolate from a machine at LondonRoad Station, on Saturday. According to the statement of the local manager of the company (Mr T. Knox Taylor), sweetmeats have been ab- stracted in this way from the company's machines at the Victoria and Central Stations. During one week 30 discs of copper and brass had been found in machines, and a corresponding number of sweet. meats were missing. Brez, who is employed at Messrs Mather and Platt, engineers, was said to have made the metal die's at his employers works. Both prisoners having hitherto born good charac- ters, their parents were required to enter into recognisances to bring them up for judgment when called upon.

SEPTEMBER DRESS. What the commonalty wear generally has much to commend it, for it has been adopted without any regard to appearance, from the fact and the value of perfect utility, exactly meeting the wants of the million. At this time of year an outdoor garment is generally worn; the long paletot by the lower middle class, the short jacket or ulster coat by those better off. Smart-looking jackets are within reach of everybody, as far as price is concerned. The newest shapes have revers on each side which turn open and the-e are not usually fastened in any way Warmer and more serviceable jackets are t lose with waistcoats, the single-breasted ones fastening dia- gonally. They slip on better if lined with satin. Fancy and plain cloths are the materials used. Short silk mantles reaching to the waist are also useful. All of these require to he well put on. The distinctive feature of ordinary Englishwomen's dress is untidiness. How few skirts hang evenly 1 and a satisfactory dress-improver is hardly to be seen among the middle classes. Look round where many women assemble, and note how few pads, bustles, or whatever it may be, are put on evenly, or the draperies over them evenly either. How few veils are pinned on exactly straight, or the hair beneath arranged with any thought as to the head-covering to be placed upon it!—From Casxell's Family Magazine for September.

THE INCOME FROM BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS. The Board of Trade report to Parliament shown that the receipts on account of bankruptcy pro- ceedings during the year ended 31st March last were IC210 529.1 the expenditure £186,717, the salaries of officers. &c. (no: including jnc1es either of the Supreme Court or of the County-courts), being 2111,478, and the remuneration to County-court registrars in respect of bankruptcy business £30038. As comprtred with the aCCJlmts for the previous ifnancial year, there is an increase of E6418 in the amount of fees taken in cash and stamps, while on the other hand there is an increase in expenditure for salaries of officers, remuneration to Coun,ty.court registrars, incidental and travellin" ;xpen8e«, rent, rates, taxes, and stationery amount- ing to C8069. The greater portion of this increase has been incurred for incidental and tmvelline expenses, including an amount of betweeu 220CO and C3000 for postage, which, prior to October 25th, 1886, was charged to the respective estates, but is now charged against the Bankruptcy Vote, The Board of Tracle further state thit II the state of hnsineRs in Parliament has made it impossible to introduce the further amendments of the Act fore- shadowed in the last report, but evidence in favonr ef several useful amendments has been noted for consideration and adoption, and it is hoped that an opportunity for legislation may present itself at no distant date. The various Colonial laws which have been brought nnder the notice of the depart- ment have also given rise to some suggestions for the improvement of the Act."

Williams RCPASS LIST.—SECOND DIVISION.—E. Roberts passed (as a candidate over sixteen years of age) in religious knowledge, English, Latin, French, and mathe- matics. An analysis of the 118S List will show tiiat the Oswestry High School stands third among all the schools f.xaminet!. The first school numbers more than 1000 hovs,the second school more than 300, and the Oswestry High School, which stands third, less than 100. It may therefore be clearly proved that, in pro- portion to its numbers, the Oswestry High School holds the first, place among the 300 schools examined. The absence of senior caniidates is explained by the tact that the Oswestry High School is a centre for the Matriculation Examination of London Uni- versity,and the hoys from the Lower Sixth Form are entered for that examination.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A CHURCH. St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Bradford, was the scene of an extraordinary occurrence on Sunday morning. Just before the commencement of mass a woman sitting in a pew was seen to make a stab at a soldier in front. She was overpowered and removed by the police, to whom she made a curious statement. Before her marriage, she said, she was annoyed by the attentions of a man, who since her marriage had appeared to her in varions disguises. Three weeks ago she thought she saw him in church in the dress of a soldier, Iu order to mark him she brought a pair of scissors to church, sat behind bim,and attempted to stab him. She after- wards admitted that he was the wrong man. The woman is an A merican,and was in an asylum a few vears ago. She is on a visit to friends in Bradford. The soldier, a. sergeant in the Essex Regiment named James, was badly cut on the ear, but is not danger- ously wounded.

I TWO VICTIMS OF BOYCOTTING. A correspondent writes to the Times :-The two dressmaker girls who were so cruelly boycotted Fit Labasbeda, county Clare, that they were driven out of their senses, have lost their employment and are now penniless. One has recovered her reason, and the other is better. They are the daughters of an old constabulary pensioner, and are at present living at Kildysart with their old mother, who earns a few shillings weekly. It is proposed to raise a little money in order to render them inde- pendent of the cowards who have so maltreated them. Their only crime wes that of associating with members of the force to which their father belonged, and who have become unpopular at Labasheda because they have been successful in prosecuting criminals. (tlited Ireland, in its issue of September 1st, devotes several paragraphs to representing this dastardly oase of boycotting as a ludicrous fable but the facts are vouched for by Colonel Alfred Turner, divisional magistrate for Clare and Kerry, who will gladly receive any sub- scriptions that may be sent him for the benefit of the girls, to Ennis. countv Clare. Ireland.

I STRANGE DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN. Dr. Diplock, coroner for West Middlesex, has opened an inquest, at Twickenham on the body of Rev. Fiederick Drought Eyre, a clergyman of the Church of England, aged 86, whose body had been found to be extensively bruised after death.—Mr Iyre, a solictor, said he was a nephew of the deceased, bnt had only seen him once in forty years prior to his illness in February last, when he was residing at Hounslow. Witness at that time paid two doctors to attend him, and also paid his nurse, a woman named Davis, £3 or R4 per week. Witness, however, satisfied himself that this money was not spent for the honse; and, being informed by one of the doctors that Davis was not a fit person to take care of the decea-ed, witness discharged her, giving her £5. She subsequently wrote to him for more money, to enable her to take a position at Plymouth, hut he afterwards found that she had gone back to the deceased. In the mean- time the latter had forbidden witness the honse. accusing him of employing or instlnctingdoctors to administer poison. He had been nnderthedelusion that every one who did anything for him wished to noison him. He had an annuity of £90, which now passed to strangers, and members of the family had heen in the habit of senrling him money occasionally, —Mary Schilling, of Twickenham Common, gave evidence to the effect that she had been fieqnently jailed to the house of the deceased gentleman by Mrs Davis, because he wonld not let the latter prepare food for him. He had said he was afraid that she wo-ild piison him. On one occasion he said she had been 11 goinl, on" at him, and in witness's presence, she then stripped the bed, sAiZA.rhim bv the fAet,and pnlled hi-nonto the floor. -Dr. Ward, police divisional snrgeon, Twicken- ham, said that he was privately oalled to attend the deceased. The latter abused him in nn- measured language, and witness could do nothing with him. He was suffering from dropsy, and was so dirty that witness threatened to scrub him. On the day of the death he was again called in. The external marks on the body included a scalp wound about half an inch long over the left eve, several bruises on the left side of the face and neck, and numerous marks of the same character on the back of the neck and between the shoulders, while there %vas P. partially-healed wound over a rib on the right side, and other bruises on the elbows and wrists. The cause of death was general want of nutrition, bnt death miht have been accelerated by the injuries. -The inquiry was adjourned to enable Mrs Davis and other witnesses to attend.

ANOTHER HORKIBLE MURDER AT THE EAST END. Whitechapel and the whole of the East 01 London have again been thrown into a sttt4 of intense excitement by the discovery, early on Satur day morning, of the body of a woman who had been murdered in a similar way to Mary Ann Nichols at 3uck's-row on Friday week. In fact, the similarity in the two oases is startling, as the victim of the outrage had her head almost severed from her body. and was completely disembowelled. This latest crime, however, even surpassed the other in ferocity. The scene of the murder, which makes the fourth in the same neighbourhood within the past few weeks, is at the back of the house, 29, Hanbury-atreet, Spitalfields. This street runs from Commercial-street to Baker's row, the end of which is close to Buck's row. The house, which is rented by a Mrs Emilia Richardson, is let out to various lodgers, all of tbe poorer class. In conse. quence, the front door is open both day and night, so that no difficulty would be experienced by any one in gaining admission to the back portion of the premises. Shortly before six o'clock on Saturday morning, J, hn Davis, who lives with his w fe st the top portion of No. 29, and is a porter angaged in Spitalfields Market, went down into the back yard, where a horrible sight presented itself to him Lying close up against the wall, with her head touching the other side wall, was the body of I woman. Davis could see that her throat was severed in a terrible manner, and that she had other wounds of a nature too shocking to be des- cribed. The deceased was lying nan on ner uaua, with her clothes disarranged. Without nearer approaching the body, but telling his wife what b. had seen, Davis ran to the Commercial-street Police-station, which is only a short distance awav and gave information to Inspectar Chandler, 11 Division, who was in charge of the station at the time. That officer, having despatched a constable for Dr Baxter Phillips, Spital-square, the divisional surgeon,repaired to the hoasejaccorapaaied by several other policemen. The body was still in the same position, aud there were large olots of blood all round it. It is evident that the murderer thought that he had completely cut the head off, as a handkerchief was found wrapped round the neck, as though to hold it together. There were spots and stains of blood on the wall. One or more rings seem to have been torn from the middle finger of the left hand. After being inspected by Dr. Baxter Phillips and his assistant, the remains were removed, on au ambulance, to the mortuary in Old Montagu-street. By this time the news had quickly spread that another diabolical murder had been committed, and when the police came out of the house with tha body a large crowd, consisting of some hundreds of persons, had assembled. The excitement became very great, and loud were the expressions of terror heard on all sides. At the mortuary the doctors made a more minute examination of the body, after which the clothes were taken off. The deceased was laid iu the same shell in which Mary Ann Nichols was placed. Deteotive-sergeant Thicke, Sergeant Leach, and other detective officers were soon on the spot, while a telegram was sent to In- spector Abberline, at Scotland-yard, apprising him of what had happened. It will be recollected that this officer a.-sisted in the inquiry concerning the murder iL Buck's-row. A minute search being made of the yard, a portion of an envelope, stained with blood, was found. It had the crest of the Sussex Regiment on it, and the date, London, August 20th;" but the address portion, with the exception of one letter, M," was torn off. In addition, two pills were also picked up. Inquiries were quickly set oil foot with a view to having the woman identified, and persons of both sexes were taken out of the neighbouring common lodging-houses, which abound in this district, to the mortuary. Cne of these, Timothy Donovan, the deputy ot a. common lodging-house, 35, Dorset- street, recognised the body as that of a woman whom he knew by the name of Annie Siffey. He had seen her in the kitchen of the lodging-house as late as half-past one or two o'clock that morning. He knew her as an untortunate, ana tnat she generally frequented Stratford for a living. lie asked her for her lodging money, when she said. I have not got it. I am weak and ill, and have been in the infirmary." DODO van told her she knew the rules, when she want out to get some money 9u;er:h:re t;fouosu:tam;ttsSh a! I seen with a man in a public-bon.?e at five o'clock, the police have no autheutio information respecting that point,. Donovan did not turn the woman out of the lodging-house; he i:nply did his duty by telling her that she knew the rules of the establish- metit-that the price of the lodging had to be paid beforehand. At the time she was wearing three brass rings. Other inquiries soon established that the woman's real nane was Annie Chapman, and that she was known by the nickname of Dark Annie." She was the widow of a pensioner, and had formerly lived at Windsor. Some few years since she separated from her husband, who made her a weekly allowance of iOs. At his death she had to do the best she could for a living. There were two children-a boy and a uirl-of the mar- riage. The former, who is deformed, is at the present time an inmate of the Cripples' Home while the girl is away in some institution in France. For some months past the deceased had been living in common lodging-houses iu Spitalfields,and when in good health used to frequent the streets of Strat- ford for a living. It is also known that formerly she lived with a sievemaker in the neighbour- hood, and on account of that got the nickname of "Siffsy." Only on Monday last she had a quarrel with another woman of her acquaintance, and dur- iug a fight and struggle got severely mauled and k;oked. On Saturday afternoon Dr Baxter Phillips, assisted by his assistant, made a moat exhaustive post-mortem examination, lasting upwards of two hours, Although, of course, the exact details have not been made public, it is known that Dr. Phillips was unable to find any trace of alcohol in the 8torcach of the deceased, thus disprovinglmany reports that when the woman was last seen alive she was the worss for drink. The deceased was a little over 5ft. in height and of faircomplexion, with blueeyesanddark-brown wavy hair. A singular coincidence about the corpse wa, that there were two front teeth missing, as in the case of Mary Ann Nichols. On the right side of the head was a large bruise, showing that the deceased woman must have been dealt a heavy blow at that spot There were also other bruises about the face and finger marks were discernible. The latter indicate that the mnrderer must first have grasped his vioim by the throat, probably in order to prevent her crying out. The police believe that the murder has been committed by the same person who perpetrated the three previous ones in the district, and that only one person is concerned in it. This person. whoever he might be. is doubtless labouring under some terrible form of insanity, &8 each of the crimes has been of a most fiendish character, and it is feared that nnless he can speedily be captured more outrages of a stmilllr clus will be oommitted. During the whole of Saturday and Sunday a large cowd congregated in front ofthebousein Hanbury- street, and the neighbours on either side did much business bv making a small charge to persons who were willing to pay it to view from windows the yard in which the murder was committed. On Saturday a rumour got about that the murderer had been caught, but the only ground for such a statement was that a blind man had been arrested in Spitalfields Market on a warrant to answer a charge of stabbing. L'ter in the day this man was charged at the Worship-street Police-court, and sentenced to three months'hard labour. Great oomplaints are made concfriing the inadequate police protection at tlio Baot «nd, '1 this want is even admitted by the local police authorities themselves, but they are unable to alter the existing state of affairs. Outrages and acts of lawlessness daily occur in broad daylight in the p n,,iptl thoroughfares of the East-end, and the ,? ;i?. ",?ire Hi' se!dom brought ti justice, owing to the inability of the police to properly cover the whole of the gronnd within their jurisdiction. During Satur- day and Snnday several persons were detained at the varirHl1\ police stations in the district, but were liberated s'ter proper inquiries had been made; and up to 1l1e present time the police have no clue to the murderer, and lament th tt they have no go 1d gronnd to work upon.

"RTYTY MILE-5 A NIGHT." This is the extent of a policeman's beat tA. T iver pool. At least, it was its extent as represented by the constable himself. The police were asked to provide the Chief constable with a calculation of the lengh of their regular beats. Possibly the powers of calculation in some of the officers are exceptionally dim. Be that as it may, one handed in a report which, wl'en duly cast up, represented that he walked sixty miles every night. He has been asked o make another report.

PROFESSOR GOLDWIN SMITH ON LIBERAL UNIONIST8. Writing from Winnipeg to the St..TamÙ (hult, Professor Gold win Smith pays :—I fear that in my last letter I did not mak- my meaning clear. At leart I A Scotch Liberal Uniooist" mistakes my meaning if he supposes that I advocate the formation of a middle party. Anything artificial iu politics would manifestly be chimerical. What I advocate is simply the complete junction of the Liberal Unionists with the Conservatives in a general party of resistance to dismemberment and revulution. That the danger ispasoseem.ito me a very sanguine assumption, even as regards the special question of dismemberment. It may be true that Mr G'adstone repudiates his own measures; though I think it wonld be difficult to nrov distinctly that ho Ins done this. But he liav-r h"89 an opportunity I stimulating the pirit of ilis no lihsrment <r 14 spirit of disorder. Besides, lie is dep -udent CD e Parnellite votes, and ths t'drnelhtaa will cer;ai y enforce their boud.

The depal.ted gentleman was highly respected by all his parishioners; j but a the churoti he officiated at is built in the re- motest part of the parish, far away out of the reach of the population: his congregation could not be ex- reeled to be but small, true Churchmen in the die. trict being fw and far between. It would be a bless- ing to the Church 111 LeYD to join this small living with Liarawnadle, Rnd erect a church on the bJrder el the parishes of Aberdaron .,i Hrvn. 'cro" fot the benefit of Bodferin, and have ur.to there to assist the Rev T. Jone, the present hard- working vicar of LUngwnadle. This p.ut i ?) t ""t, country is wholly neglected by the Chorcli. The work of the Church Extension Society could be done here without being a burden to anyone, nor ex- hausting the fnud ,f that excellent society in fact, it is impoasib)etoim.n'"e the Hoodthttwoutd derive to the Church bv this union, aud all lov of Church pro?re?s would do well to use their u'au- .ence with the lord bishop to bring things to this ,cii,is. All that wishes to see the A'hlirch in Llevii oainin" new ground cannot be but of one opinion upon the matter- they heartily pray for the happy time when a church is built for Bodferin and neigh- bourhood in connection with Llangwnad'e and Pwllheli. I have uo doubt, if the bishop knew how tbinge are present aud how much good would proceed totbe Church by this connection, he would not hesitate a moment over the important matter.
