in .z THE BIIIK 0F TURDNTB. The Thirty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Bank of Toronto was held on the 29th inst. On motion, George Gooderham, Esq.. was called to the chair, and Mr. Coulson was requested to act as Secretary. Messrs. Thomas G. Blackstock and Walter S. Lee were appointed Scrutineers. By request of the Chairman, the Score. tary read the following REPORT: The Directorsof the Bank ofToronto beg to presentitothe Stockholders the Thirty-eighth Annual Report of the business of the Bank, together with a statement of its affairs. The year just closed has been marked by widespread derangement in financial circles, nearly every country having been affected thereby. In the United States‘tbe results have been most disastrous, and in this country many branches of business have been directly afiected by the troubles there. General trade throughnot the Dominion is dull anddepressed. and no immediate signs of improvement are apparent. The Net Profits of the Bank for the car, after makin full rovlsion or all bad and oubt ul debts, and deducting expenses, interests accrued on the deposit receipts and rebate on current discounts. amounted to the sum of . . . . . . . . . . . $247,135 .98 Balance at credit of Profit and Loss Account, on 3lst May, 1893 ........ 23.981 78 $211,166 76 Out of this sum there has been ap- pro printed: . Dividend No. 75 Five per cent. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8100.000 00 Dividend No. 76 Five per t ........... .. ........ 100.000 00 “n â€"__. 200.000 00 Leaving a balance of .............. $71,166 76 This balance would have permitted an addition being made to the Rest, but, in view of the prevailing depression and un- certainty, your Directors have deemed it advisable to leave the amount at the credit of Profit and Loss Account, and are con- vinced thata cautious policy is in the best interests of the Stockholders. In a previous report reference was make to the fact that a suitable location for a banking office in Montreal had been pur- chased. The Directors have now pleasure in informing you that the Bank occupied their new premises in May of this year. The building provides the Bank with com- modious and attractive offices in that city, and will, it is believed, prove a satisfactory investment. The Directors have with deep regret to refer to the removal by death of Mr. Henry Covert, for many years one of their coilea ues. The vacancy thus caused has been lied by the election of Mr. Charles Stuart of Port Hope. The Directors have pleasure in stating that the General Manager and other ofii. cars of the bank have performed their re- spective duties in a satisfactory manner.

" I am not a believer in ghosts, reincar- nations, or the supernatural in any shape, but I had a singular experience some years ago, which I have never been able to ac- count for satisfactorily,” said J. P. Lacroix, of Montreal. “ I was second mate of a merchant ship in I882. Among the crew was a tough customer named Lander, al- ways in trouble. He hgd a frightful scar, extending from brow to chin, the result of a dock fight. He had a bullet wound which had taken away the lobe of his right ear, besides a peculiar protuberance, like a wen on his forehead. I would take my oath there was not another man alive marked just like him. “ At the end of that voyage Lander killed his wife and cut his own throat. He sever- ed the windpipe, but he recovered. The wound in his throat healed, but left a hole, which he had to cover with his hand when he spoke. He breathed through a silver tube. He was tried and convicted, and, happening to be in port, I was present at the hanging and’saw the body buried. In 1890 I was on the gold coast of Africa. Ashore one day I came across a man housing a lot of ne ro laborers. His form seemed strangely amiliar, and I started with sur- prise when I saw him place his hand over his throat when giving some orders. Going closer I saw the near, the wen, the lobeless ear, the hole in the threat, the silver tube and every feature and characteristic of the man I saw hanged and buried. I got into conversation with him. He said his name He was unable to tell how he said heIremembered, while still ill, taking a long voyage, he didn’t know where from, until he had landed where I met him. He told me my face looked like one he had seen in a dream, but he knew he had never seen me before. How do I account for it? I don’t try to. I am only telling the facts. I don’t know whether Danler was Lander come to life again, or a reincarnation of him. Maybe Lender’s neck was not broken, and some scientific chap was experimenting on him with a battery. All I know is that no two men could possibly be marked in ex- actly the same way. If it was Lander he was greatly benefited by the change, as on inquiry I found he bore a splendid reputa- tion‘ as a quiet, Jaw-abiding, peaceable citizen.” CROWNED HEADS IN DANGER. The Extraordinary Precautions Taken to Guard the Lives of Emperor William and the Czar. There are fashions in everything, includ- ing the protection of prominent persons when they are on parade. The most recent regulation concerning the protection of life in Europe is that of Kaiser William. Some time ago there was a good deal of socialistic agitation in Berlin, and it was claimed that the Anarchists would attempt to throw a bomb at the Emperor as he drove through the city on his way to a review. The route of the carriage was lined with policemen, and back of them was the customary mob of sightseers, on either side of the way. The Kaiser gav'o orders that as the royal coach approached, the police who had heretofore always stood with their backs to the crowd, so as to solute the celebrities as they passed, they should turn their backs to the street, face the mob, and step back two paces from the front line of the crowd. It was further ordered that the crowd should be kept back on the sidewalks, so that the carriage would be at some distance from the line of sightseers on either side. These orders were carried out, and they appealed so strongly to the Russian Am- bassador that he communicated them to St. Petersburg, and they have now been adopted by the Russian police. By keeping the crowd wall back from the carriage consid- erable motion was made necessary on the part of an Anarchist to throw a bomb suc- cessfully, and, as the police were numerous, his actions would be seen by One of the guards, if those functionaries were at all wide awake. The Russian police, in addi- tion to adopting these measures, absolutely surround the carriage of the Emperor with horsemen- â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"_ The Sting Within. v It is said their is a rankliug thorn in every heart, and yet that none would ex- change their own for that of another. Be that as it may, the sting arising from the heart of a corn is real enough, and in this land of tight boots 8. very common complaint also.

Large as a Dollar Were the scroiula sores on my poor little boy, sickening and disgusting. They were espe- ‘ . â€"- A ciaily severe on his legs, ‘ ‘ back of his ears and on his head. His hair was so matted that combing was sometimes impossi- ble. Ills legs were so bad that sometimes he could not sit down, and when he tried to walk his legs would crack open and the blood start. Physicians did not cilect a cure. I decided to give him Hood’s Samoa- rllla. In bro weeks the sores commencodto heal up: the scales came oil and all over his HISTORICAL LIES. There was prob:ny no such man as Romulus. The first historian who mentions him lived at a distance of time so great as to throw extreme discredit on the story as told by him. Alexander the great did not weep for other worlds to conquer. There is reason to suspect that his army met with a serious reverse in India, a fact that induced him to retrace his steps. The crew of Le Vengeur, the famous French ship sunk by an English man-of-war, did not cry “Vive la Republique l" They bawled for help, and the English boats were sent to their assistance. The immense burning glasses with which Archimedes burned the ships of the beseigo ers of Syracuse at ten miles distance were never manufactured and it is now known that they could not have existed. Pitt did not use the expression, “ The atrocious crime of being a young man." The words were used by Dr. Johnson, who was not present, but wrote a report of the speech from an abstract given him by a bearer. Vinegar will not split rocks. So Hannibal could not thus have made his way through the Alps. Nor will it dissolve pearls. So that the story of Cleopatra drinking pearls melted in vinegar must have been a fiction. \Vorshippers are not crushed by hundreds under the’wh'eels of the car of Juggernaut The car has not been taken out of the temple for many years, and such deaths as ormerly occurred were exceptional or ac- cidentaL â€"â€"â€"..___.._____ Expelled â€"every poison and impurity of your blood by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.

At the Circus. “ Well,” remarked the royal Bengal tiger from his cage as he observed the elephant reach up to the top of a wagon and get an apple, “If 1 had to put up my trunk for my board, I don't think I’d let everybody know it.” , “ Don't you worry about me, retorted the elephant with characteristic bonhomie ; “ I'd a blamed sight rather put my trunk up for it, than have no trunk, and get it by wearing stripes, and the royal Bengal withdrew to the farthest corner of his cell where he might not hear the elephant smile.
