THE CHINESE BILL OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

The 8111 introduced Into the Assembly of New Sooth Walca by Sir HeDrj Parkea, to regulate the Introduction of the Chinese into Now South Wales, i' entitled the Chlnes9 Restriction nod Regulation Bill of 1888, and by the 2nd clause is declared to be held to have come Into operation on and after May 1 carront. To some extent It is based upon the exist ing Act of 45 V>c , No. 11, which restricts tbelLfiax of Chiueso into this colony ; bat it carries the subject mncb farther. Clause 3 provides that certificates of naturalisation shall not be granted to Chinese, and that they shall leave tbt colony at their own rick. Clauses 4 and 5 relate to the declaration to be made by the masters of sbipa sb to the number of Ohineßa on beard, such number not to exoeed the proportion of one Chinaman to every 100 tons oarriago of the vessel. Clause 6 provides that £100 shall bt paid for each Ohineao arriving by any vessel, under a penalty upon the master of £600 for each euch Chinese, and also the £100 for every Chinese who may escape from the vessel, Clause 7 provides thtt each Chinaman arriving oveijand shall pay the same fee of £100, sub j cot, by clause 8, to a penalty of £50 m addition to that sum. Clause 9 •tates that the fees and penalties ahall be paid into the consolidated revenue. The most material clauses are the following : — 10. For the purpose of all proceedings under this Aot, the justioas may decide, j upon their own view and judgment] whether any person produced before them is a Chinese within the meaning of this Aot. 11. The Governor, with the ad rice of the Exeoutlve Council, may, by proclamation m the "Gazette," set apart a defined area where Chinese arriving m the oolony, after the passing of this Aot, with their families and establishments, shall be allowed to reside for the pnrpoae of carry ing on their mercantile pursuits without molestation or restraint at the cities of Sydney and Newcastle, and auoh other places (aot being more than five)> as the Governor, with the advice aforesaid, may Appoint. 12. No Chinese wbo shall arrive m this oolony after the passing of this Aot shall be permitted to reside at or trade with any place or part of the oolony, except as prescribed by last preceding section and no such Chlnase shall be permitted to ! travel m the interior without a passport under the hand and seal of the Colonial Secretary. 13. No Chinese so arriving aforesaid shall be permitted to engage m the work of any gold, silver, or other mine, or m any mining purso.it whatever, without express authority under the hand and seal of the Minister m charge of the Department of Mines. 14. The provisions of this Act shall not be applicable to any Chinese duly accredited to this oolony by the Govern ment of China, or by or under the authority of the Imperial Government on any special mission. 15 Toe penalties and restrictions imposed by this Aot shall not, nor shall any of them be held to be appiioable m respect of any Chinese being one of ths crew of any vessel arriving m any pori m New South Wales, and who shall not be discharged therefrom, or land, except m the performance of his duties m connec tion with suoh vessel, 16. It Bhall be obligatory upon any Chineie resident In the oolony who shall have arrived m the said colony before the passing of this Aot to report himself within one calendar month to the nearest police magistrate or officer la charge of a police district, stating his place of abode, and his trade or calling, and thereupon take out a yearly license m the form Be t forth m schedule A hereto, for r'nich license he shall pay the sum of £J q an( j at the expiration of the year f or whiiih such licdDßo is granted aoot' ier i; cenßa shall be almi'arly taken out, fJt wn i on the like sum of £10 shall be pa' 17 Any such Chinese a8 |' c8 f a f , rc6P ij may, after the period. o f one ca te-,dar month from the n-«s'. nR of the Act, bo required by any effioe r o f police above the rank of a senior-cor .stable to produce his license, and failing to produce such license he shall be liable to a penalty of £10. Clause IS provides for the recovery of penalties. Ola\\so 19 exempts fro-n tbo operation of t'ae Act Chinese who are British subJF.cts. Clause 20 provides against evasion of the Act by transhipping Chinese from oue ship to another. The other three clauses are merely formal.

POISON IN THE ASHES

MANY people believe that Nature has somewhere a remedy for every dise-se. So many and so terrible are the ills of life, and so slight the pleasure we cet as time flies past, that such a belief is the least we can show m a gracious and all-wise Providence. A few remedies— but, alas, how few !— have been found. Others, so far, lie hidden from human inquiry. Occasionally death follows quickly on the heels of the cvil — an illustra tion of the dangerous character of the ailment to be relieved. For example, Nervous Dyspepsia is a com paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. It is a joint affec tion of the digestive organs and cfthe nervous system. These two were formerly treated as separate ailments, and it was left for thec'ear sighted thinkers to prove that the b sis of this terrible and often fatal ctmplication lies chiefly m the dis :rdered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus : " If we can induce the stomach to do its work' and stimulate the excretive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mattei which remans after the life-giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dyspepsia and Nervous Exhaustion." And they were right. Know ing the infallible power of Seigel's Syrup m less complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully, m this. To leave no^ ground for doubt, they prescribed the remedy m hundreds of cases which had b*en pro nounced incurable— with perfect success m every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed nervous Dyspepsia and Exhaustion may almost be called a peculiarly English disea c To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it— both sexes and all ages. In no country m the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing all resulting from this alarming disease Its leading symptoms are these ; frequent or con tmual headache ; a dull pain at the base of the brain ; b?d breath ; nauseous eructations • the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat ; a sense of opp ession and faintness at the pit of the stomach, flatulence; wakeful ness and los? of seep; disgust with fooJ even when weak from the need of it ; sticky and slimy matter on the teeth or m the mouth especially on rising m the morning; furred and coated tongue ; dull eyes ; cold hinds and feet ; constipation ; dry or rough skin ; inability to fix the mind on any labor or calling continuous attention; and oppressive and sad foretooings and fear. this terrible group Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup removes by its,.positive, power ful, direct, yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life S fire) which, unremoved, poison and kill are expelled from the body through the bowels, kidneys, and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned, and fed by the purified blood. As the result, health, •with its enjoyments, blessings, and power, returns to the sufferer, who had perhaps abandoned all hope of ever seeing another well day. a Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup Is for sale of all chemists and medicine vendors and i by the proprietors, A.
