ENGLAND'S TAXES.
ENGLAND'S TAXES. England, in proportion to her populstion and wealth, is less heavi"; ed than Germany and France. England is not burdened with compul- sory military service, which is imposed upon all men in Germany and France for three or five years. Aside from the number of workmen annually taken away from labor, the vast standing army thus created is supported directly or indirectly by the rest of the people. Food is at least as cheap in England as in Germany and much cheaper than in France, where the importation of food products is subject to taxes already con- siderable and recently augmented. — Consul Grinnell. Holloway's Pills.—Wrongs made Right.-Every day that any bodily suffering is permitted to continue renders it more certain to become chronic or danger- om. Holloway's purifying, cooling, and strengthening Pills are wall adapted for any irregularity of the hu- man body, and should be taken when the stomach is disordered, the liver deranged, the kidneys inactive, the bowels torpid, or the brain muddled. With this medicine every invalid can cure himself, and those who are weak and infirm through imperfect digestion may make themselves strong and stout by Hollo way s excellent Pills. A few doses of them usnally mitigate the most painful symptoms caused by undigested food, from which they thoroughly free the alimentary janal and completely restore its natural power and action. Epps's COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING.— By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which jovern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and ay a careful application of the fine properties of well- ielected COCOA, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast ;ables with a delicately flavoured beverage which nay save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the udicious use of such articles of diet that a constitu- '1'1 tion may be gradually built up until strong enuugu to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of sub- tle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame." Civil Serricc (Jaxctte.Made simply with boiling water or milk.

The captain and second mate (Wm. Smith), of the Cardiff steamer Treherbert, have been landed at Liverpool by the steamer Isla de Mindanao, and give particulars of the total wreck of their vessel and their extraordinary treatment at the hands of the Spanish people. The Treherbert, an iion screw steamer of 1620 tons, and in ballast, was going from Madeira to Bilbao. On the 7th inst. during a dense fog, she struck the rocks at Buitra Point, on the north of Spain, and al- though every effort was made to get the vessel afloat she gradually sank until the only part out out of the water was the stem, which was held up by the rocks. It was half'past one in the morning when the vessel struck, and soon after' wards several hundred Spaniards came down from the mountains and crowded round the vessel. The Spanish Coastguards, who also went on board, prevented any plundering fo.i the time being; but as soon as the crew left the mountaineers set about taking whatever they could lay hands on. Their boats were taken from them by the authorities, and there was no ac- commodation for the crew. By the payment of five pounds the captain obtained a boat, and in this they set out to Camerinas. They rowed all day and all night, and at last reached Camel" inas, where the authorities kept them on the beach with their effects, and would not allow them to take advantage of the shelter offered to them by the representatives of the British Con- I 3ul. Camerinas is a fiishing village, and the in' habitants took every opportunity of stealing some of their effects. At last the shipwrecked people got leave to go to the shelter at first of' Eered them, but by this time the purloining Spaniards had relieved them of a considerable part of their clothing. After this the ship' wrecked people had to undertake another long voyage before they reached Corunna. The cap' tain and second mate were brought from there to Liverpool in the Isla de Mindanao, where the kind offices of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society were exercised. The Treherbert's crew numbered nineteen hands.

t='-=-- THE CORN TRADE. The Farmer of Monday says :—Supplies have improved, and the quality of new wheat and barley is often fine. The failure of Califor- nian merchants has caused their wheat to de- cline 2s. 6d. per quarter from last week. Eng- lish wheat is steady, at last week's lowest prices. Foreign wheat is irregularly Is. lower flour, irregularly Is. lower; maize, 6d. dearer and scarce. Malting barley is quiet; foreign feed- ing barley is dearer. Oats are irregularly 3d. dearer. Egyptian beans are cheaper, but Eng- lish beans and peas are rather dearer. The mar- ket is discouraged. MILITARY RIOT. Advices received at Plymouth on Monday by mail from Pietermaritzbuig, dated August 8, state that an outbreak occurred on the previous day amongst some soldiers belonging to the 1st I Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. Six men returned to camp drank, and violently resisted the guard called out to arrest them. They seized rifles with bayonets, and, after a fight, two of the mutineers laid down their arms, but the other four escaped into the town, doing damage to canteens and levying blackmail. Subsequently the men were captured, a strong patrol of mounted infantry and dragoons having been sent in search of them. An officer of the 64th had a bayonet point run through his head, a man of the Inniskillings was bayoneted in the head and was not expected to survive, a member of the military police was stabbed to the heart and died immediately, and a civilian was also wounded. The names of the prisoners are M'Ewan, M'Kye, Campbell, and Ord, said to belong to Belfast. They are in the custody of the Pietermaritzburg Borough Police. ] BOILING WATER THROWN OVER THE POLICE AND BAILIFFS. The evictions on The O'Grady estate at Her- bertstown, Limerick, commenced on Tuesday, a force of 130 police and 50 men of the Leinster Regiment being present, in charge of Captain Plunkett, divisional resident magistrate. John Carroll was evicted without opposition, but con- siderable resistance was offered when it was at- tempted to evict Widow Cremms at Kilbally- owen. Stones were thrown directly the bailiffs approached, and when the officers of the law at- tempted to effect an entrance by a gable window they were repulsed with boiling water. Three bailiffs then mounted the roof, and worked with hatchets and crowbars until a hole was made, but they were attacked by the inmates with iron bars, and were compelled to retreat. A hole was then made in the back of the house, but boiling water forced the bailiffs back. The police then rushed forward to the aperture, but again a volume of scalding water was thrown, and they fell back. In another moment, how- ever, they had fixed bayonets, and the bailiffs then entered with a rush, the police following immediately afterwards. The inmates, consist- ing of five men and four women, were arrested and conveyed to gaol, singing God save Ire- land." The greatest excitement prevailed out- side during the eviction, and the police dispersed the people with their batons several times. When the police were icturning from the Her- bertstown evictions they found a deep trench dng across the road, and an hour elapsed before an ambulance car could pass over. Further on the road the police came in contact with a group of persons, including a priest, some members of Parliament, and English visitors. Father Ryan narrowly escaped being batoned, and an English- man was actually struck. SERIOUS RAILWAY OUTRAGE. A young lady, aged 25, named Catherine Scragg, a schoolmistress at the Shrewsbury Board Schools, and who was travelling to Shrewsbury on aturday evening by the London and North-Western express due at eight o clock, and was the victim of a brutal outrage. She had been home to Hanley, Staffordshire, for her holidays, and was returning to Shrewsbury to renew her scholastic duties. Just after leaving Wellington a man, named George Grice, a pud- dlbr, living at Tipton, Staflordshire, who was the only person in the compartment, made a violent assault upon her. She made the follow- ing statement to Detective Morris, of Shrews- bury .—< They took our tickets at Wellington, and just as the train was starting for Shrews- bury I observed a man jump into the carriage j where I sat. I thought of jumping out, but there was not time. I took up my book to r^a~> and after going a short distance the man asked me if the train stopped before it reached Shrews- bury. I said, No.' He replied that he was going to Shrewsbury to see his wife, but I made no answer. He then got up, came to the end of the carriage where I sat, and put his arm around my neck. I threatened to scream, and then he took hold of me, and attempted to assault me. I fought hard with him, and got on to the foot- board with the intention of jumping out, but when the door shut it fastened my arm. A gen- tleman in the next compartment looked out of the window, saw my position, and having led me along the footboard, pulled me into his com- partment, through the window. The man fol- lowed, but the gentleman who had assisted me had a swordstick with him. He drew out the sword, and threatened to run it through the man if he came near; that was the last I saw of him.' On the train reaching Shrewsbury much ex- citement was caused among the passengers when the occurrence was made known, and porters were despatched along the line in search of the cowardly offender. He was found lying on the rails, unconscious, with his face terribly cut and much bruised about the body. He was taken to the Shrewsbury Infirmary, and so also was Miss Scragg, who was suffering from a severe shock to the system, in addition to being greatly bruised about the face and arms. The man did not regain consciousness until Sunday morning, and it will be some days before he will be able to ap- pear before the magistrates. He was informed by Detective Morris of the charge that would be brought against him, to which he made no re- ply. The occurrence took place whilst the train was going at the rate of between 30 and 40 miles an hour. Another account says :-A dastardly outrage was committed on a young lady in a train be- tween Wellington and Shrewsbury on Saturday night. The train by which she was travelling did not reach Shrewsbury until 9.12 p.m., and was seven minutes late there had been no stoppage during the last eleven miles. Detective Super- intendent Baxter was on the platform at the time of its arrival, and noticing that the door of a third-class compartment was open, he went up to it. He found in the carriage a young lady in an excited condition and covered with blood. In an adjoining compartment he saw a mans hat, while spots of blood were splashed over the doors, windows, and floors. A newspaper was also discovered besmeared with blood. Dr Rope, of Shrewsbury, who happened to be in the train, attended to the lady, who was afterwards taken to her residence, Castlefields, Shrewsbury. She stated that her name was Catherine Scragg, and that she was a teacher at St. Michael's School, Shrewsbury she bad been away on her holidays and was on her return journey at the time, hav- ing booked from Stoke-on-Trent at 6. At Wellington all her fellow-passengers got out of the compartment, and just as the tram was star tins a rough-looking man, who was subse- quently ascertained to be James Grice, of Tipton got in and took a seat opposite her. She was reading at the time. Shortly after the journey had been resumed he remarked that the train did not stop until Shrewsbury was reached, and mnvinf* from his seat he sat beside her. He seemed to be the worse for drink. He said he was going to his wife at Shrewsbury, and then putting his arm around Miss Scragg, he asked her if there was any harm in that ? She replied that she would call for assistance. He exclaimed 'You will, will you,' and thereupon he struck her a violent blow in the face, caught hold of her by the throat and attempted to throw her down. She struggled with him, and screamed for help. In the course of the struggle Miss Scragg was knocked from one side of the car riage to the other, but getting to the door, she managed to open it and to get upon the foot- board. Her screams attracted the attention of a gentleman named Graham, a barrister, resid- ing at Shrewsbury, who, seeing her perilous position, pulled her into the next compartment through the window. The train at the time was travelling at a rapid rate, and as Grice was believed to have jumped out, four men with a stretcher were despatched along the line. After travelling some distance they found, lying be- side the permanent way, a big rough-looking fellow, who answered to the description given by the young lady. He was insensible, and on being brought to the station was conveyed to the Shrewsbury Infirmary. Miss Scragg still lies in a prostrate condition, but is gradually recovering. It has been a3cer- tained that her assailant, George Grice, has been for some time employed at the Castle Iron Works, Wellington. He is a stout, burly fellow, ¡;¡, v«rng lady "j- fifteen minutes, and ultimately get free. He was seen to enter the train just as sho was start- ing front Wellington, and appears to have watched his opportunity for entering the com- partment .wherein Miss Scragg sat alone- This gives rise to ths opiuioxi tuat the offeucc was 1 premeditated. The compartment has been in- spected by the authorities, who report that the cushion, door, and windows were besmeared j with blood parcels were scattered about the floor, and there were other signs of a terrible struggle. Grice still lies in a critical condition in the Shrewsbury Infirmary, suffering from se- vere injuries received in jumping from the train and is only conscious at intervals. A MAYOR'S RIGHTS. An extraordinary scene took place at Ballin- collig Petty Sessions on Monday, through the Mayor of Cork going on the bench and insisting on his right to preside in county courts. The other Magistrates refused to allow him to adju- dicate, and decided upon adjourning forty cases. The Mayor expressed his willingness to adjudi- cate single-handed upon eight of these cases, which required only one magistrate. Two resi- dent magistrates, however, refused to allow him and entered on the hearing of a charge of threat ening to shoot a land agent, preferred under the Crimes Act against Daniel O'Connor, an evicted tenant. The case was not concluded. I SAD ACCIDENT. A sad fatality has happened at Southend. As Mrs Little and her daughter Mary Ann Little were walking along the Pier on Monday after- noon, they heard the tramcars coming behind them. Mrs Little got on to the left hand side of the structure, within a foot of which the tram runs, and her daughter, seeing her danger, rushed forward to save her. In consequence of the strong wind which prevailed the tram could not be brought up in time to avoid an accident, and the result was that Mrs Little was crushed to death, while her daughter was so shockingly injured that she was conveyed on a stretcher to the station, and removed thence to Guy's Hos- pital, where it was found she was suffering from a dislocation of the thigh, and a shock to the nervous system. Mrs Little, with two daughters had only arrived at Southend that morning. Her second daughter was looking out to sea from the opposite side of the pier, and was unaware of what had happened until her attention was at- tracted by the cries of the spectators, and then she saw the bodies of her mother and sister ex- tricated. ——— THE VALUE OF MILK. An influential and representative gathering of Cheshire dairy farmers was held on Monday night at Durham, near Chester, to consider the question of the supply of milk to the large towns. At present the Cheshire farmers are re- ceiving only a little over three-half pence per quart, out of which they also pay the railway carriage while the milk is being retailed in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and the Mid- lands at four pence per quart. Several speakers stated that, with the present dryness cf the sea- j: son and the scarcity of grass, which compelled I them to feed their cattle in the stalls, the prices j1 current were ruinous. It was resolved that an I association should be formed in Cheshire for mutual support. It was pointed out that there was now in existence in Liverpool a Company. which delivered at 21d. per quart milk that was obtained from Gloucestershire, but it was also reported that this source of supply was as limited as that of Cheshire, and application bad recently been made by the Company to a Cheshire farmer for supplies. Several farmers present reported I that they had conversations with their milk dealers, who bad readily promised an advance j to 2s. per dozen quarts. It was unanimously >1 agreed that the price per dozen quarts during I September should be 2s., or 2d. per quart whole- sale. A Committee was appointed to draw up rules, and a meeting was fixed for three weeks hence to consider the price to be asked for the j' winter's supply. THE WHEAT MARKET. i In the wheat market, the course of prices is j still downward, and there is reason to fear that it will reach a depth at least as low as that of ] last October, when the weekly average fell to J1 29s. 8d., if not that of one week in March, j1 1886, when it was 29s., the lowest ever reached 1 since the corn averages were published. Dorn- 1 busch endeavours to impart a hopeful spirit by ] contendiug that— With Winter coming on and a consequent rise in freights and increased in- i surance, to say nothing of weather influences, a moderate rise before Christmas is quite as likely, if not more probable, than a further de- scent into the valley of depreciated currencies j" j but why these ordinary circumstances should have exceptional potency this year, we are not! told. Except for a temporary spur at the close of last year, the course of prices in the Autumn and early Winter has for many years been downward. For the last seven years the avei- ages for the last complete week in August and the last in December were as follows 1880. 44s. Id. and 42s. 8d.; 1881, 51s. lOd. and 48s. 4d 1882, 47s. lOd. and 40s. lid. 1883,43s. 8d. and 39s. 1884, 35s Id. and 31s. 5d. 1885, 33s. 3d. | and 30s. 2d. 1886, 33s. 2d. and 33s. lid. Thus, there was a fall in six years out of seven, and in I most cases it was gradual, and accompanied with but few partial recoveries. During the last forty years the lowest weekly average price of the twelve months ending Pt Michaelmas has not once been recorded in August. In thirteen years it has happened in October, and in ten years during September, the months in which farmers thrash most freely. No other month has a record of over three. The highest weekly average has been in August in eleven out of the forty years in October seven times (but only twice in the last twenty years) in September six times (always in the first half of the month), and in May five times. August, then, stands out as far the best month for the sale of wheat, the first half of September coming next. Octo- ber used to be an uncertain month but of late has been decidedly a bad one. HORRIBLE MUREERS IN PARIS. Throughout Monday a considerable crowd has stood about the house Mo. 9, Rue Brey, Paris, commenting on the fearful murder of his wife and two children committed there by Padrona I the oculist. Further details of the shocking! crime are to hand. The Padrona family had taken up their residence at No. 9, Rue Brey, only in March last, and two months later Madame Padrona gave birth to her third child, since which time she had been confined to her bed. The examination of the body of the unfortunate woman, made shortly after the murder, showed woman, made shortly after the murder, showed that she had been killed during her sleep. All the four bullets her husband had fired at her had entered her head. From the attitude of the body hf the little girl, Fanny, whose head had nearly been severed, it was evident that she had struggled and implore for mercy, her hands being clasped toge.her and her arms extended as in supplication. Her features bore the expres- sion of the deepest terror. As to the boy, aged three, his neck had been hacked and gashed in a horrible manner. The weapons with which the crime was committed-a revolver of a lorge bore, which Padrona had used against his wife and a Spannish with a chased silver handle—were found in the room. The point of the dagger was broken off, showing the fury with which Padrona had struck his two little victims. Padrona is only thirty-five years old, a Corsican, and born at Cavi. He is a strongly built man of average height and of rather preposessing ap- pearance, were it not for his eyes, which have the vacant glare noticed in those of people de- mented. In the first replies that Padrona gave to the exmining magistrate, hd made the strange statement that during the night preceding the crime he had had a horrid nightmare, in which a cure had spat in his face, insulted him, and ordered him to kill himself. He jumped out of bed under the influence of his dream, seized his volver, and fired bullet after bullet at his wife's head. Then, hearing the children scream, he was seized with an insurmountable terror, and rushing into theroom in which they slept he threatened to kill them if they did not hold their tongues. As this threat only made them scream the louder he cut their throats. The Prisoner also made a rambling statement about the im- mortality of his wife, whom he said he passion- ately loved. From the report of all who knew the couple, however, his accusations against his wife were perfectly groundless. The neighbours who have given evidence in the case state that they had noticed Padrona's strange behaviour for some time past. Furthermore, every night on returning from the Rue Vivienne he was in the habit of drinking absinthe, sometimes as many as six glasses, at a cafe. Padrona's last declaration before the examining magistrate, who remarked that his various answers did^ not tallv, was "It was fate! it was to be!" A second examination was attempted later on, but the murderer appeared utterly prostrated, and only muttered inchorent replies. Within the next few days he is to be examined by specialists as to his mental condition. An inventory of his apartment has been taken and and the seal af- fixed. His brother has taken charge of the baby, the survivor of the butchery.
