Constantinople, N- vatnber 27. General Kaulbars has left for St Petersburg. Paris, November 27- M. de Freycinet, Premier, in a statement in the Chamber to day said Fiance was not affected by the Bul garian difficulty beyond the general in terest of the Powers in preserving the balance of power in the Mediterranean, The Egyptian question, he stated, touched France. Vitally she could not Allow any foreign power to be mistress there. The Government, he added, bad urged upon England the neessity of an early settlement of ihc Egyptian question.

PARTURIUNT MONTES.

The mountains—that is to say, in this case the leaders of Her Majesty’s Opposition —are in labor, and it will be interesting to see whether the result accords with the birth-throes of such Titans (let the reader not mistake the orthography of the last word), or whether it corresponds with the latter half of the Horatian quotation the initial part of which forms the heading of this article. For, in view of the annual struggle between the “ outs” and the “ ins,” which is the outcome of party government, and which if successful secures to a few privileged patriots the receipt of handsome salaries, it has been discovered to be necessary that the “ outs” should have both a party and a policy. As regards the first, the Opposition at present resembles tbe gathering o f the discon tented in the erstwhile famous Cave of Adullam, and may be described as a congeries of heterogeneous atoms, without any chemical affinity, and it is to weld these discordant elements inm ft homogeneous whole which is one of the problems the leading members have set themselves to solve. And the flux which is to enable the fusing together into strong, ductile, and malleable metal of various stubborn and crude ores is the policy of which the leaders are in search, and which it is to be hoped the leaders will succeed in finding, albeit the task is a more difficult one than that of turning Taranaki iron-sand into good market able steel. It is not so many years ago that “ Wanted a Policy !” was chalked up on every hoarding in the Empire City, and as history is always repeating itself, it is not surprising that “ wanted a policy” is again the cry of the Opposi tion to-day. Of course there will be no dearth of suggestions; theie are plenty of doctrinaires on both sides of the House who are capable of turning out a brand new policy at a moment’s notice, and we suspect that if Major Atkinson and Mr Tryce were to inviu suggestions from the rank and file, they would be sufferers not from the few ness, but the multiplicity of suggestions that would be forthcoming—indeed, that it would be a veritable case of Fembarras de richesses. No, there are heaps of policy-makers in the House and out of it ; but there are such wide divergencies of opinion that it is almost impossible to strike out a line which will command the hearty sym pathy and support of a strong and united party. For among the Opposi tion are to be found Freetraders and Protectionists, Centralists and Provin cialists, Secularists and Denomination alists, Borrowers and non-Borrowers, advocates of rigid retrenchment and advocates of a progressive— Anglid, a spending policy. Obviously, the views of all these cannot be given effect to, and the via media— despite the proverb—is not commonly a safe one in politics, inas much as nobody is satisfied with what are contemptuously termed “ half measures.” Hence therefore the task of reconstructing the Opposition pro gramme is a work the difficulty of which will become the more apparent the more fully it is entered upon, and if “ the negotiations which are now in progress," as we are told, lead to a wholly satisfactory result, then assuredly the negotiators will have cause to be proud of their success. What all this fanfarronade—this flourish of trumpets prior to entering the lists —amounts to, is indicated by the statement that Sir John Hall is one of the consultant leaders, and probably means that Major Atkinson, Mr Bryce, and Mr tolleslon despairing of re-taking, by assault, those Government benches, to which they regard themselves as having a sort of inscriptive right, have formed an alliance with Sir John in the hope that the House and the country may be disposed to give a Hall-Atkinson Government a trial. True, Sir John has not, as yet, a seat in the House, but he is certain to secure one at the next general election, and in view of that contingency the choice can practi cally be presented to the House of a Hall-Atkinson Government vice a Stout-Vogel Administration. The policy then that it is sought to arrive at is doubtless one on the lines of which the gentlemen named can agree, and this having been done, both men and measures will be ready when the opportunity offers.

A WOMAN’S SUFFERINGS AND GRATITUDE.

A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA

Near the village of Zillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman whose story of physical suffering an-1 final relief, as related by herself is of interest to English woman. “ I was en • ploy d,” she ays, "in the work of a large farmhous™. Overwork brought on sick head ache. followed byadvathlyfainling and sic-ness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or thick. I was compelled to take to rs y bed for several weeks. Getting a ittle bette- from rest and quie*, I sought to do some work but was son taken with a pa : n in my side, which in a lithe ■ hile seem to spread over my whole body, andthr bbed in itiy every limb. This was followed by a cough and sh rings'- of bre -th, until h- ally I could rot sew, and I took to my lied for the second, and. as I thought, for the >a t time. My f lends tol i me that my time had nearly come, and that I could rot live : ongerthan when the trees put on th. ir green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Seigel i amphlets. 1 read it, and my dear mother bought me a bott’c o beigel’s Syrup, which I took exactly acc. rding to directions, and I hrd not taken 'he whole of it 1 elore I fe t a g eat change for the better. My last illness began June 3rd, 1882, and continued 10 August 9, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The couch left me. and I was no more troubled in breath'ng. Now I am perfectly cured. And oh, how happy I am! I cannot ei-pro s : latilu’e enough for Siegel's Syrup. Kow I must tel l you that the doctors ia our di trict distributed handbi Is cautioning people agains' the medi'ine, telling them it would do t em no good, and many wee 1 hceby influenced to des roy the Seigel pimphleis; but now, wherever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few pre served are borrowed to read, and 1 have lent mine for mx mil s around our district. People h ve come 18 miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it cured me and to be sure to get the right k’nd. I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them them was no help for her, that she had consulted several do tors, but none could he p her. I told her of Seigel's Syrup, and wrote the came down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my adv ee and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and tbe people around us ate amazed. The medicine has made such progress in our neighborhood that people say they don’t want the dc ctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who were confined to their bed and c- uldJiardly move a fin er, have been cured by it. 1 here is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with costive ness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surround n? districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themse ves and said they could not help her. Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in our place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, but Seigel s Syrup and Pills saved her life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished to see her out, knowing how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for God’s mercies and Siegel’s Syrup.” Maria Haas. The people of England speak confirming the above. AFTER MANY YEARS, " Whiltle-'e-Wo ds near Chorley, " December 26th, 1883. “ Dear Sir.—Mo'her Seigel’s medicine sells exceed n. well with us, all that tr y it speak | highly in its favor. We had a case of a young lady that had been tro ble ' many years with pa ns after eating. She tells us that the pains were entirely taken away after a few doses of your medicine. —Yours truly, " E Peel.” AFTER SEVERAL YEARS. “ Stoke Ferry, January 9111 1884. " Gentleman, —I have used Siegel’s oyrup or several years, and have fourd it a most efficacious lemedy for Liver complaints and general debility, and I always keep some by me, and cannot speak too high'y in its praise, —I remain, yours truly, " Harriett King.” AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS.^ "95, Newgate Stieet, Worksop, Notts, " December 26th, 1883. “ Gentlemen,—lt is with the greatest o pleasure I accord my testimony as to the efficacy of Mother Seigel’s Syrup. My wife, who has suffered from acute Dy-pepsia for over sixteen years is now perfectly better through the sole help of yom Syrup. I have spent pounds in medic nes fiom doctors —in fact, I began to think she was incurable, un'il your marvellous medicine was tried. —I re main, yours, thankfully. "Alfred Ford.’
