AUSTRALIAN.

fltteedved Sept. 10, 10.40 a.m.) FEDERATION. Sydney, September 10. The " Sydney Morning Herald," in »ti article referring to the discussion of the New Zealand Parliament on Fede ration, states that those here who favor federation would have been glad of the presence of New Zealand delegates at the convention, as they would have been able to contribute suggestions, andcrfifcise the question from their point of ▼SW and could have exercised an influence in shaping the Federal plan, which might have made it easier tor New Zealand to join when that colony had found the time had come. The " Herald" adds that the flat re fusal of New Zealand to take part in the Conference is of great importance possibly to the future of these colonies, £nd certainly to that of New Zealand. If it says, her position is to be materi ally altered by inclusion it will also be by exclusion. Insularity of feeling will cut off for the future any blending of fortunes of Australia and New Zea land, and leaves the latter colony per manently more dependent upon assist ance from the Mother Country,

Quite an event in town to-day was the wedding of Mr Frederick William Bishop, of Graham's Road,to Lizzie, eldest daughter of Mr John Small, farmer, Graham's Road. The couple drove up from the bride's home in an open carriage, drawn by a pair of fine blacks, bedecked in the approved style with gala trappings. Following the bride and bridegroom came a procession of five and twenty carriage loads of wedding guests, while the rear was brought up by quite a troop of horsemen. The scene at the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus was most impos ing, when the gay assemblage of vehicles drew up and deposited their happy freight. Very soon the church was crowded, and the wedding party took their places at the altar. —the Misses Small (3) and the Misses Bishop (2) sisters of the bride and bridegroom, tak ing the bridesmaids' place on the left of the bride, and Mr J. Small and Mr J. Bishop as groomsmen on the right of the bridegroom.

Greetings over and their places again taken the pro cession rolled away to the Graham's road farm, where Mr John Small holds rejoicings to-night on a grand scale in his daughter's honor.

THE MISER'S DIAMOND NECKLACE.

In the year 1740 there lived in the I Latin quarter in Paris, a famous miser named Jean Avere. The wealth con cealed in the obscure rookery where he resided was believed to be fabulous, and was no doubt really very great. Among his treasures was a celebrated diamond necklace, of immense value. This he concealed so carefully that he ultimately forgot its hiding-place himself. He sought diligently for weeks, and, failing to find it, became almost insane. This rendered him even less capable of re- j membrance, and he took to his bed broken in body as in mind. A few weeks later a doctor and an old woman, who had some times done odd jobbs about his house, were both at his bedside, seeing that the end was near. As the clock in the neigh- | boring tower tolled one, he ceased his low muttering and sat up and shrieked, " I remember where it is now. I can put my hand on the necklace. For God's sake let me go for it before I forget it again !" Here his weakness and excitement over came him, and he sank back among his rags, stotie dead. Physicians and students are familiar with these sudden outflash ings of memory at the great crisis of human fate. Let the reader consider this while we relate an episode in the humble career of a signalman, Andrew Agge, who may b« found on duty in his box at Culgaith, a little station on the Midland, twenty-three miles south of Carlisle. Mr Agge is on duty nearly every day, and must break his fast without leaving his post. The confinement and mental strain tell on the system. The strongest men cannot stand it long without feeling its effects. It makes one think of the passionate exclamation in Tom Hood's j " Song of the Shirt," "Oh, God! that bread should be so deai 1, And flesh and blood so cheap," Our friend had been at the same work for many years, although he was only thirty-five when these lines were written. In 1884 he began to feel that he was about to break down. "I don't know what ails me," he would say, " but I can't eat." What he forced down produced no sense of sal isfaction or strength. Some times he was alarmed at finding he could scarcely walk on account of giddiness. He said to himself, " What if I shoujd be seized with this at some moment when there is trouble on the line, and I need all my wits about me V Other features of this ailment were pains in the chest and sides, costiveness, yellow skin and eyes, bad taste in the mouth, rising of foul gas in the throat, etc. The doctor said Agge must give up his confining work or risk utter disability. He could not. Wjfo and children were in the way, So he renwiined at his post and grew worse, Jsut hj.s work was al ways"right, telcgrajns were properly re ceived and bent, and no train got into trouble through any neglect or fault of Jifg, Jiis disease—indigestion and dyspep s l_took a i a step furt-hor, and brought on kidney and bladder trouble. The doctor at Appleby said, "Mr Agge, you arc poisoned with the foul stuff m your stomach and blood." His doom seemed to be sealed. It was like a death warrant. Six months more rolled by. On duty one morning he was attacked with so areat and so sharp a distress he could neither sit nor sUd. He says:- I tumbled down on that locker miul lay tlwro nil the forenoon. Signals might be <kve», the telegraph needle might I click but I headed them no more than a man in the grave iieed.a the beating of the rain against his own UtmWm^' He was alone at first, but help arrived, and the j?otf* flispialmau was carried home.

unconscious. Nothiag was to be done but to wait for the end. Then the torpid .faculties awakened for a moment. Memory Hashed up, and he recalled the fact tluxt a medicine which he had used with benefit years before, and then thrown aside and fargotten, was concealed in a secret place at the stgnal box. He sent for it, and took a dose. Soon his bowels moved, the kidneys acted, the pain was ceased, he felt better. With brightened hope he sent to Carlisle for more. It arrived. He used it, and in a few days the doctors were astonished to find their patient out of doors, and on the road to recovery. He regained his health com pletely, and, in speaking of his experience said to the writer, * " What a wonderful thing it was that, on what promised to be my death-bed, I suddenly remembered where I had put that half-used bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. That flash of memory probably saved me from death.
