Ulcerations, which have proved themslves incurable by any other known meafis have healed kindly under the purifying and regenerating influence of this excellent ointment. Sprains, stiff joints, contracted muscels, and jgladular swellings can be almost safely and effectually healed by Holloways Ointment and Pills, which can <Io no harm under any circumstances. Neilljcr of these medicaments has anything deleterious m jt? composition; both are essentially purifying and stoingthen'ng m their nature. The c^m* bined power of these noble remedies eoables them successfully to cope with most descrip. tions of impurities, and to cure, pr at least f eiicve, most vwctiw of dicases.

GERMAN COLONISATION IN ASIA MINOR

Tho United States Consul at Si van, m Asia Minor, m a ncont report states that daring the yonr past on inim'gration movement from Germany to Asia Minor h«8 taken place. Thero aro now about SOO German families nt Amnß ; n, a city on the river Iris, about 100 miles nortli-weflt of Sivas. This is due to tho efforts of the Gorman Conpul thero, who has largely interested liirneo f in tho moveoiont. Most of the c -lonisls are mechanics and mon of rmderaio raeann, Th-y have eugagod m mi Hog, waggon-making faimiog, and o her iuduatrioa. Several flour mills with improved European machinry have been eroctod, and this branch of business, for whiah Amasia h well adapted, owing t.> i s water power end the surrounding grain district, was to hay* been largely extended during the present year. It ia expected that large additions will be made to the colony durhjg this year, and that several other colonies will fee established m Anatolia The immigration is at present small, but " it is of importance as indicating the com mencement of a Buovomout which will undoubtedly turn a part of tbe Btream of German emigration m a new direction, and it oannot be but of great advantage m developing resources which are now, owing to the character of the population, wholly unused."

MORAL OF THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS.

The "London Morning Tost," the organ of the Conservative pasty, In an (irtiole en the oonditlon of tho poor In Whiteohapel, s»ys : — Tbe veil has baeu drawn asldo that oovered up the hldoous oonditlon Id whloh thousands, tens of thousands, of oar fellow oreatares livej m this boasted nlue teenth oentui'y, end m tho very beart cf the wealthiest, tbe healthiest, the moat civilised city m tho world. The daily tins, the nightly agonies, the hourly Borrows, that haunt and poison and oorro.pt the ill-fated tenants and eo journeri m theee homei of degradation and disease have boen again and again dtßcribed with mure or Kbi troth and force by our popaiar writers ; but it is when some crime or acoldent, m or.) than usually horrible, has givvii vividness and reality to the previously unrealised ploture, that we aro brought to ask why Bleeps the thunder, acd how tbeae things can be? The answer is m tho facts dicc'.osed. Take tho latest bb a Bampls of the rest. A wretched back street is crowded with houses of the moat miserable olass. Nearly all of them are lot oat m lodgings of a single room, or part of a room. The honao wboro the murder was committed had no leas than six families, all toilers for dally bread-— some of questionable honesty or sobriety — »nd all, we may be Bare, con taminated m greater or less degree by the vioioas surroundings of th ir distressful home. Loose women have as free run m the«e abodes as rabbits m a warren. Tftere is a continual oomlDg and going. Preoepts of decency are not observed, the standard of propriety is low, the whole moral atmos phere is pestilential. Poverty m its direst form haunts some dweliluga, ghastly pre fll gaoy denies othere, and this In itreet tfter street, alley aftoj alley, cul de sac after cul desac, garret after garret, and collar after cellar. Amid Bach gross surroundings who oan bo good ? With this atrocious miasma oontlnually brooding ovit them, and set tling dowu among them, who oan rise to anything bettor 1 Morally, these people are notonlylost — they are dead and burlod. This la the part of the eubjeot thtit olamorß for immediate consideration, these are miseries that need immediate remedy, these aro tbe lamentable conditions of human existence, whtoh may well tax tho widest counsels and the most philanthrope consideration of the best men and women of the day. Side by aldo with all the luxury, the ease, the magci&cenoa, and abounding plenty of our vast metropolis, ; are all those pitiable ground-down p9oj,le bowed with misery aud eteeped with crime. It Is not go much the truncheon of the policeman that is wanted as the wand, magical m its power and healing io its tonoh, of higher moral ministries — some centres at -Intervals m their very midst where the gentle ministrations of Christian love shall never be sought by^ the weary and heavy laden la v»ld, where the veriest outcast may knock and feel that there at least are pitying hearts and open bands, the instruments of God m the recovery of man.

SIR JULIUS YOGEL

Sir Julius Yogel (writes the London correspondent of the " Melbourne Age") has taken up comfortable quarters m St. Margaret'a Mansions till the end of the year, and from the serene height of the sixth floor contemplates the world with considerable equanimity. Forbidden the thorny paths of polltioa, owing to the state of his health, Sir Julias Yogel is trying what only those who have never pene trated them are pleased to call the flowery glades of literature, and his soheme of the Paclfio book has proved at onoa too am bitious and too petty There would be too few pickings out of a small company euoh as he proposed to float, and on the other hand the projeot is too gigantic for a private publisher to undertake at bis own risk, without a much greater certainty of profit than the venture presents. I fancy therefore, that even Sir Jallaa'o financial genius will fail to get the company off, ' and the only ohanca he has of getting the book privately published la his giving a guarantee of a certain colonial olrou iatlon, sty 3000 copies at 10 guineas each. It remains to be sesn whether 8r J alias's faith m the literary enthusiasm of his fellow-colonists is sufficient to enable him to give the required assuranoas. In tbe meantime tho ex-Premior ia flying at higher game, and has gono m for original composition on his own account. The result is a novel, tho M.B of which is now being considered by Messrs Bentloy and Go., with a view, if they like it, to ita publication at an early date. The scene is placed m the year 2000 A.D., and principally consists of a fancy piotnre of the political and social changes which the author believes will h&v© been consummated by that date. Sir Julius Yogel is taking considerable Interest m tho Pacific cable scheme. He is strongly of opinion that there should bo .only one oompany having control of the Australasian telegraph service, and with this view l>e would pombine the opposed interests of the Eastern Extension and the inchoate Pacific Companies, buying out the purely Australasian cables and con nection of thejformer, and amalgamating them with the Pacific scheme m a single strong company. Negotiations aro now going on on the subject with Sir John Ponder, but until moro progress has been made it is impossible to say with what chance of success.
