THE WORKING MAN OF SYDNEY HOW HE LIVES.

(From the " Australian Star .")

As to reut for a married man with at family : Very few three roomed oottageß I can be rented under 10s to 12* per week m a respeotable locality, two and three ( families often occupy the one house, the ( one who rents the whole hou3o ; piys from 16j to 203, end sublets ii at a proa ; 25s to 303 a week ehould provide fond a»d rent for a family of four. Kn to food, the price of boef varies from 3£ Ito6^ p r !*> mutton from 21 tn 41. Arl'p r »urn v oan be purchased at 23 to 2^l, la some of the suburb 3 meat is considarably denter, 3si to 4d being the Jowe3t at wMch routtun oan be bought. Bread is from 5d to 6 I the 4!b lloathef — the standard price is 6J. There ' are a few shops where it can be pcrohasad for 51 cash dowD, and fet^h it yourself Grooaries are not dear, oandles oan be bought at from 6d per 1b upwards, one house cells light-weight etearlnes (14 z) at s£i ; full-weight CJ and upwards, accord' log to brand Butter, 6i to 10d ; milk, 6i per quart ; tea, Is 61 t> 2s 6d per lb ; sugar 2&d to 3d. In the suburbs grcoariei are dearer. Pecple who deal at the small shops ani buy only very small qaantitiea, 3d and 6d worth at a time, pay considerably more for their weekly stores tbau those who buy m larger quantities, snd lay 1 1 their week's stock. The singe man m Sydney oan get his meals for the whole wtek at from 7s to 9), or by the meal at 41 to 63, and hare a large variety from whioh to choose ; the carte occupying a long Hit with French namen given m The unmarried individual oan also get half of a room, with single bed, at 4i to 5j a week. Clothing is cheap, a new rig out can be had for 25s and upwards, according to quality, the clothier getting his trousers well made for 91 a pair, and shirts at d> ; troaeers oan be bought slop-made at from 3s 61 upwards, made to measure from 12i 6d. Bluoher boois, a good article, 5j 6i to 6s; quarry boots made to measure, 10a to 12< ; eltstic sides, slop made, from 7s upwards. Tools oan be purchased at low prices, a good many of them, although branded as steel, being no better than bcop iron; the In erior quality of mott of the tools purchased results m a national loss, and they should not be allowed to be landed out of the ship which brings them ; a purchaser living m or near » town oan easily replace them, but to the firmer or busbman who has to earn his living with them and finds out their worthlessntgi, it frequently means two or three days' enforced idleness and a long j lurney when he oan ill spare the time, xhe money thrown away on both cheap clothes and tools is a national waste. The importer and wholesale dealer will fre quently make two or three hundred per cent prcfit oa the goods.

There are thousands of unemployed In New South Wales. A second-hand clothes dealer the other day said, "I am doing Dothlng now, . I have had to give np buy ing, for I oan sell nothing. I have hardly sold a thing for a month, and ordinarily I do a good business, bring well-known and eittbiisbed m my present prem'sas for some years " A we!l-kaown pawnbroker alto aaid, " The distress amongst the well* to-do working olassos is very great. The people are parting with their family idols, •nd it is not for the purpose of purchasing drink, bat food." We met a steady bricklayer at Redfern tbe other day taking a ticket for Melbourne, whom we knew to be walking ab ut vainly looking for work fifteen months ego ; who *aid, "I have been m Melbourne fifteen months and have- not loet a day except it was through bad weather. I oame over to see my relatives, and am goiog back now." Another eteady tradesman we Raw en board the steamer ElingHmite thi* (hriday; morning, going to Melbourne with his wife He has been there thret montbs, and e-ma for bis wife. 81 members of one suburban branch of tht- Protection Union are m Melbourne getting plenty of work. We cannot sgre? with osr correspondent respecting th» feeling of antagonism to Victoria amongst onr working classes. If such a feeling exists, it is among <t a very few, and those the most innorart of th<* nl»«p.

A. VICTIM OF THE " MONOMANIA OF PHILANTHROPY"

The Paris correspondent of the "Morn fog Advert lier " lays :— A somewhat rare variety of mental disease — the mommania.. of philanthropy— has ended m th»t 'gaioßt which tbe everlasting haa fixed his canon ; j a scrap of paper left by the deceased ex- ' plaining that he found '• this life trop bite." The victim w»s a young ta*o n#mad Eu.ene Orbeochi. He had drift-d into the fixed idea that his express miailon here below was to reclum fa'lea women, and be had yielded likewise to the hallucination that the objects of hi* humanitarian ganeroMty would, bh a matter of course, be all dying to quit their ways. D alltasion dogs/pd his foot steps. At length he «noountered one Msrgaerlts Matbn, who made him promlseß and acted repentance. He lodged her m a furnished apartment, and undertook to provide her with a dowry If »he would espouse an honest artisan Margoerlta Mathis pat the money of this lon nai/ into her pocket, and augmented tbe number of her masculine acqmint ances. One-day Orbecohi dfce-ivered the perfijy of the female whom he im»glned ho was reclaiming, and In an «»xcasa of nn governrble raga drew a knife and Btrack her with it. At the sii f z3 court the jury acquUted him. T*o d*ya affcer the ac quittal of Orbecchi, his couneel received the following note from him :—"On rcy way from tbe Oonoierperie prison, the day before yesterday, I met Mirguerite Mathis. . Bhe was with a pair cf the wretches whom aha continues to frequeut. I see now that she ii a lost soul. The last aim of my Ufa had been to bevj her: I give it up. . There is nothing more for me to do m this world. Mere existence Is a burden to me. Ynu will read m the newspaper to-morrow, mon cher defenseur, that a youag engineer named Jmes J)uval has committed suioide by taking chlcro form. That will be myself 1 *ra now looking for an hotel where I o*n die quietly. When you have read the acciunt of my aaiofde, please bo kir.d enongh t > tske the m-asuresifqirdite for preventing me, m cisc I should fail fro a beln^ buried alive." OrbeccH had solocfod an hotel m tie c! 6 IJer k ere, snd, having entered the above description of himsell m the bto'i kept for the police, he wrote that "life was trop bite;' an 1 poleoned lmnself w.th chloroform. Ha was i ;tt rrr d 1 1 the following c'tj at the P*ntin eeraeterj m the name of Duval. S nee then the letter has been published by his couneel ; and the true Istory, simple, ' brief, and human, is perhaps not in ferior m pathos to an entire three-volume novel, although the writer mny be quite an eminent modern psychological rjmanoia\

THE PRINCESS ROYAL AND BISMARCK

According to M. Biowitz, "The German Grown Prince is neither soldier nor states mat). He repeatedly expressed his great abhorence lot war, wMch he was oom pelled to witness; Battles wore won under his name, but everyone knew who was the real victor, and the Crown Prince does not like his uame to be man t'^ned «s the victor. His protracted iadiapo) oi and the greit anguhh result ing therefrom, his peastrristtc turn of mind, hh fir el ence aM make him sn unfit

• - nuoent m Bißmsrok's hands. Atone ttrr , w'ien his present illness had a very threatening aspect, people at the Berlin Court speculated qul'e loudly on the possibility of his never ascending Ms f uher's tbrone. But his wife U watching over him, Tae Crown Princess Victoria is determined to tit one day on the throne at tha side of her husband, She posseesea the tenacity of the Oobnrga and the domineering pauiun of ihe Hanovers. She Inherited her mother's will and energy, and thereby exorcises great in* flaenoe oret her husband. The Crown Ptlneaia ha* yet many revenges to take, for her heart has often bled from the treatment she had to endura at the side of the Km press Augusts, of whom nobody likes even to speak m order not to be compelled to disguise the deep antipathy felt for V 6r. Princess Viototlft hates Bismarck. She otnnot forgive him the opinion expressed about her ohildren, bis coarseness, and his preseverance m trying to ignore her. The Crown Prinoeiß aoes not mean to retire to aquiet corner at Pott dam or at Windsor, and she does not mean to die before she is 'something,' Tnls • something ' la to be come ' Empress ' to become ' Majesty.' Litely, when the Grown Prince grew much worse, it was the Crown Prlucess. who with rare energy, insisted on having an English Physician called m. It is she who Inspires him with courage and energy to overcome his illness. Prince Bismarck dreads the 1 pride and spite of this woman. He fears tiat as ' Majesty ' she will open the way ito principles different from those on whloh he founded the Empire She means real constitutional principles for Germany ; she alms at stopping the per sonal autocratic government ; she desires that the voice of the nation should be heard— in short, she wishes everything which Bismarck believes to be the ruin of Germany. Bismarck is convinced that if Princess Viotoria were to be Empress even for one year only, irreparable damage would be done to Germany. This is the reason why Bismarck wishes noth ing more fervently than that the life of the Emperor should be spared as long m possible. "

How suc- cessful we have been m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill, We have the plensn^a to state that we h&ve sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find m Haydook' New Lives Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medioine. The Victories of Solenoe — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole syotem of the globe, anC made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming muoh v to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDooton, whose vast doses of four 01 five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with o&d 01 two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Di Hay- dock's New Liver PUls suffices to place the stomaoh m perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.

WHO IS MOTHER SBIGEL. She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a most valuable discovery, and she is creating the widest enthusiasm all over the coun'ry, and «veiybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to read the thousands or letters, something like the following from Mr Perkins : — 'A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. "Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Jan 2, 1885. " Your medicine must be the most wonder- ful discover \u25a0•, for during— -my --experience- of more than twenty years. 1 never knew any proprietary or patent medicine m bulli universal favour and demand. It is simply extraordinary, and if I were to send you an account of every statement made to me m its favour, you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signei) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people ask— WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO GIVES BELIEF AT ONCE. " 59, Bloomfteld road, Plumstead, "Jan. 7, 1885. " I find the sale of your medicines increases everj year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady that at'ented the Female Hospital m Soho-square for sooie m»nths, with pains m back and side, and bi ious, and could take no food, but got no benefit from any of the n.edic'nes they gave her. Before she had taken all the contents of o-e bottle of your syrup she fe t relief, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Baker." THE EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS. "Medical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of Seigel's Syrup. There is a case of a young married lady- m Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asthma for a long period, who had consulted some of the best physicians of ihe day, but without deriving any benefit. She was daily getting wor-e, but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seigel's syrup. She procured a boUle, and the effect was marvellous ; she rap dly improved, and now she is as strong and healthy as ever she h:s been. (Signed) "H. Lloyd-Jonks. " WHAT IS MOTHFR SEIGEL GOOD * FOR? POES NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES THE LIVING, Mr J. W. Savill. of Dunmow, Essex, writes,— September, 1884:— " I introduced your medicines into Dunmow almost as soon as they were brought out m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds' worth. I have known many grand cases of permanent cures ; and, as yet, no case of failure. > ot- with&tanding many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup holds its own ground. I be- lieve it a good medicine— it will not restore the dead to life, but it appears to save the living from dying. A CASE OK GKAVEL CURED. "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. "It has "always given me pleasure to re- commend your medicines to my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c unstable of the police force of Tooting, S.W., where I for many years had a shop, was a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of r. ravel. He was per- suaded to try • Mother Seigel's Syrup. ' He purchased a bottle at my chop, and by the time he had taken half of it he reported him- s?!f to me as quite cured. The effect was simply miraculous. (Signed) '«J. D. FLORANCE." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? Would respectable chemisfs write like the following if not ? SURGICAL OPKRATI'N AVERTED. '•Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. Mr Er ward Cor kb. Chemist, writes: — "Your medicine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well established m general favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, who some three or foui years ago was advised to submit to the operation for stone. He certain'y was suffering from some distressing s)tnptoms, and could scarcely walk. In>t-.ad of taking that advice he tried Jreigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about fairly well, and, having taken three or four 2s 6d bott es, he was completely cured. He is still about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptoms of the old ' trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the ( Syrup, and all is well again." WHAT PEOFLE BAY ABOUT MOTHER 1 SEIGEL. \ I AN EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS. " Cosbam, Hants, Jan. 2, 1885. ! "My customers, over a wide country dis- ' trict. ere not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials to send ; but verbal admiration o( your medicine is m the ascend- ant, and my experience of forty years assures ' me that no other preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity^ and so firmly main- tains its reputation as Mother Seieel's Syrup.
