BAD TIMES IN SYDNEY.

An old Napier resident writing from Sydney pars This city is in a most deplorable sta'e ; mocb worse than any place In New Zealand, I could not have bed -ved it had I not seen it for myself. The other day 1 saw a procssion march leg down George street, consisting of about 900 men, with banners, on which were printed the words, ‘ Bread, or Work’ Dczana of people aloep out at night in the Park or Domain, having nowhere else to go. I have not got anything to do yet, and am now wishing to Heaven that I had never seen the place. The Sydney jdoming Herald contains any amount of * Wanted#,' bnt how are yon going tP get them ? I tell you for a fact, that people sleep on the steps of the Herald office door all pigbt ao that they can get a paper the first thing in the morning. To give yon an Idea of what an easy job i r . b to get a billetl aaw an advertise ment in the Herald, ‘ Wsatsd a Barman. Apply at ten o’clock.’ X got there as the clock was striking.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The late Mr Arnofd Toyubee was one of the ablest of modern economists, and a eystematlo student of the Capital v Labor difficulties. His views on this sat jcl are well worth attention. He says (we can only quote briefly, but his written lectures should be studied by all employers and employed):— The Boards cf Conciliation are not. like many ether schemes, artificial! expedients of the hour, bnt‘the outgrowth of a long hlstpry basbd upon a great principle, thp full ungrudging recognition by the emr ployer of .the workman’s equality ard Independence. An equal number of work men and employers, elected by ibeir respective classes, sit intermixed at the same table, and discuss questions of wages and everything connected with the iitsreets of the trade. The expenses are borne equally by both sides. , . . Democracy transformed disputes about wages from social foods into business bargains. It sweeps away the estranging class elements if suspicion, arrogance aid jealousy, and, Teeing the pent-up economic elements whose natural tendency Is not towards division, it enab!er work men and -employers to tike the first s*ep fo unite -. . ■.

THE "SAURIAN MONSTER.”

The following is the detailed account of the visit of the “ -aurian Monste-” to a siaughteryard in the Waikato, the par ticnlars being supplied to the Auck’aud Herald by its Hamilton correspondent : The saurian mons'er has turned up again, and is the cause of no little exoitem>n r . On Sunday Messrs Qualtrongh an' 1 "'bite’s emp'oyes ki'led beef and sheep and left throe hanging, averaging about 70'b each, ueir the door inside the slaughterhouse, 'he beef being away at the bank. The were hu 'g each with a ho- k through the ii e 8 of both htud legs, and the bw>ks strung on an Iron bar, the heads of the sheep being eighteen inches from the flo <r. The do >r is in two halves, the lower one being tied simply wiih flrx A slaughterman i ■ charge lives with bis f imily in a cottage cl>se by, and the slaughterhouse anc yards are on Gas leton’s o rel, where the repti'e was first, seen. -When the boys went to the slaughterhouse on Monday men.tog to bring the meat into Hamilton, they L> nd ihat one if tie sheep—that nearest the d or—had been pu ltd down, hoo a and all, on to the flo >r, andjrn'v the b >nes, stripped of the flesh, were to be seen, s me of the smaller bones being literally crushed t o pieces,. From the creek to the slaughterhouse—about twenty five yardi—is very muddy, and the footmarks of the creature, which hart entered the slaughterhouse by drageing open the lower half of the do >r, which was merely tied wl h fix, c uld be seen Imprinted in mud on 'h w oden flier, Mr Qaaltrough and Mr Castleton procured facsimiles of these footprints, which are unlike those of any known animal, being a round centre pad like that of a ’dog with three flit toes, and abou 1 -. four inches across. The other sheep end berf were untouched, as pro bably the animal had found the sheep sufficient, a few por.nds cf me.it being s ill on one side of the ribs. Mr Qual trough has had the lower half of the doorway removed and a sliding panel made the whole width to fit into a double runnel on each door j imb, which is raised and lowered by a rope. Last night Mr White and another eat up in a loft above the door to watch for the return of the animal, prepired to crop the sliding door as soon as it had entered the e'aaghterhoasc, and so seenye it aliva. They heard a tramping outside, but saw nothing until this morning, when the same Footprints as were seen an the floor on Monday were again found in the mud round the building. A strict watch will be set in hopes of capturing this an’mal, which is creating quite an excitement in the district.

SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN IRE LAND.

Mr Take, who visited the West of Ire land to distribute the seed potato fund, in his report says :—“ In this, mv eighth visit during recent years to the West of Ireland, 1 have again been profoundly im pressed with the condition of chronic misery, the destitution of the small holders of land. The fact that the small holdings of worn-out land omno f support the c owded population is no 1 nger a debateble quest in. It is j übJ pimonsly borne witness to; From prit-s , or landlord, or tenant there Is but one response :— ‘ Without other nmana °f earning money {bore is no possibility of living opt of the laud.' 1 The living isn’r In it, rent or no rent, yer honor !’ And can It be otherwise 1 Consider Achill, with its thousand families, of whom time) fourths are living on holdings so email that rental or valuation does not exceed SOs a year each—and few of the remainder exceed £4 a year 1 Take another instance in Connemara, of 1000 families attempting to live on 1700 fores of arable bog land, mere patches cf soil lying among great bouldera.,’ Mr Toko though he believes in judicious emigration, thinks more mb ht be <’ods for the people by pu ting the fisheries on abetter footing.

EXCITING SCENES AT IRISH EVICTIONS.

The scenes at the Woodford evictions in County Galway were of the most excit ing nature. A force of 550 policemen was engaged, besides a large’number of bailiffs and emergency men. The house of a tenant named Saunders had been in a state of siege for s' 1 me days, being occupied by a number of armed men to resist eviction. The roof was lonpboled, tnd the storming of the place was a very exc t'ng aff4r. Scaling ladders 1 were used, also a shield similar to that used by Roman soldiers in ancient t’me* while approaching the wall of a besieged town to protect them against the missiles of I he deftnders After a desperate struggle the house was carried by storm, and tjie police, jumping in through the roof, made prisoners of twenty men irslda. A lumber of the bailiffs, emergency men, and police were injured by boiling water wjilch Tjyas poured op''them- A a war pi of bees was al* o let loose against them, but they d d no seem to give any trouble, Just before the operations were begun an estate bailiff of Lord Clantlcarde named Page created a sensation Vy pnbliclv re igning l is office and in token thereof handing over hi: double-barrelled gun o the supe intend ing priest. On the police entering tbr house an extraordir ary scene was pre sented. There was a large fire in the kitchen, wl h three pi te of w tar placed over it. and n bag rf lime was lying close at hand. While the house was being stormed, boiling water was banded from the ikiteben up to the men who stood beside the loopholes, and they threw 1 out on the bailiffs One of the apart ments almost half filled with stones. It was ihe wall erclosing this apartment thai the bailiffs attacked on the p 'tside with prowbars ; but, owing to auoh a large quantity of stones being piled up Icalds. they qnly sncoeeflrd- ia making a small opening aboye the alo.'es. »Tfcp green flag which waved from the chimney cf tb* house was taken down by ope of the em ergency men, who put up in its place a white flag with a blue stripe in the centre. The sheriffs bailiffs, protected by ably policemen, attended at Donogbmore, deputy Cork, recently for the purpose oi carrying out a series rf eviction ' On theb arrival the chapel bell was tolling, and s large crowd assembled from the surround ing country, who hooted and stoned the police and bailiffs. The police used their

batons among the crowd, and the greatest excitement prevailed. One eviction was carried out with d flicnlly, the others hat ing to be abandoned, owing to the violence of the crowd.

A WOMAN’S SUFFERINGS AND GRATITUD:.

A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA,

Near the village of Zillmpdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Ma'ia Haas, an inte’ligent and industrious woman whose sIo‘y of physical suffering an-’- final relief, as relate I by herself is of interest to English woman. “I was em* ploy d,” she ays, "in the work of a large farmhous*. Overwork brought on sick head? ache, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to lake to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little bette r from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work but was S' on taken with a pa n in my side, which in a little v hile seem to spread pvsr my whole body, andthr bbedin my every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until fi - * ally 1 could i.ot stw, and I took to my bed for the secondhand, as I thought, for the Ia s t time. My f iends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I could rot live longer than when the trees put on th-ir green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Seigel l araphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel’s Syrup, which I took exactly according to directions, and 1 bad not taken the whole of it before I felt a great change for the better. My last illness began June 3rd,. 1882, and continued to August 9, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The couph left me, and I was np more troubled in breathing. Now * am perfectly cured. And ph, hpw happy I spn ! I pannot express gratitude enough for Siegel’s Syrup. Now I must tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbt Is cautioning people against the medicine, telling them it would do few no good, and many were thereby influenced to des'roy the Seigel pamphlets j but now, wherever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The lew pre served are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles 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 there was no help for her, that she had consulted several '’o tors, but none could he’p her. I to’d her of Feigel’s Fyrup, and wrete the name down for her that she might make no rrisf ake. She took my adv ce and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around us are amazed. The medicine has made such progress in olyr neighborhood that people say they deyvf wapt the dcctorany ip'ofe, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who were confined to their bed and could hardly move a linger, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with cost tve ness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surtoundihc districts to whom 1 her mother had n6t applied to relieve her chdd, 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 beeu in bee}.' To-day s}re adds her gratitude to "mine for God’s Percies and Siegel’s Syrup.’’ Maria Haas. The people of England speak confirming the above. AFTER-MANY YEARS. “ Whittle-le-Wo~ds near Chorley, " December 26th, 1883. " Dear Sir.—Mother Seigel’s medicine sells 'exreed n» well wi.h us, all that try it speak highly in its favor. We had a case of a yopng lady that had been trq Wsd 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 9th l8&p j “ Gentleman. —I have used Siegel’s Syrup •or several years, and have found if a most efficacious temedy for Liver complaints and general debility, and I always keep some by me, and cannot speak too high'y in its praise. —I remain, youtfs tr\tly, “ Harriett King.” AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS. “ 95, Newgate Street, Worksop, Notts, “ December 26th, 1883. “ Gentlemen,—lt is with the greatest of pleasure I accord my testimony as to tie efficacy of Mother Seigel's Syrup. My wife, who has suffered from acute Dyspepsia for over sixteen years is now perfectly better through the sole help of your Syrup. I have spent pounds in medicines from doctors—m fict, I began to think she was incurable, until .your marvellous medicine was tried,—l re* main, yours, thankfully. . “Alfred Ford.”
