HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House meb at 2.30 p.m. QUESTIONS. Replying to questions it was stated that the Government recognised the advisa bility of pushing forward the laying •:•! the proposed Pacific cable, owing to the frequent interruptions of the cables of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, and that as soon as satisfactory arrange ments could be made the Government would inform the House of them ; that the Government could not introduce the Labor Bills now before the House till considerable progress had been made with the estimates ; that there had been as yet no regular correspondence or negotiations j between the Government and Mr Joubert on the subject of the proposed New Zea land Exhibition m London, and that the idea of holding this exhibition had been abandoned owing to the cost being more than originally estimated; that the Government had tendered no advice to His Excellency on the question of calling any gentleman to the Legislative Council; that the Government did not agree with the desirability of taxing totalisators, as such action would seem to further legalise them ; that the Government could nob yet see their way to impose an export duty on bulk or unsawn kauri timber; that the Government were considering whether they should take steps to amend the law so that half-castes and Maoris could he made legally responsible for the main tenance "of their wives and children m case of desertion ; that provision would be made, as far as possible, for the proper inspection of ships sailing from New Zea land m order to see that they were not badly loaded or overloaded ; that instruc tions had been issued to Commissioners of Waste Lands Boards to inquire into claims under the Naval and Military Settlers and Volunteers Land Act; that the Bill now before the Legislative Council would provide for making ap pointments to the Legislative Council for a limited term instead of for life ; that the Government would take every oppor tunity of instructing the Agent-General to prevent New Zealand frozen meat being sold m England as Home-grown meat, and that they would use every endeavor to prevent fraud of this kind. The House rose at 5.30 p.m. DEATH OF MB TURNBULL. .On the House resuming at 7.30 p.m., Mr Mitchelson said that he deeply re gretted to have to inform the House that Mr Turnbull, the member for Timaru, had died that afternoon. He (Mr Mitchelson) proposed, m accordance with the custom on such occasions, and out of respect to Mr Turnbull's memory, to ask the House to adjourn till next day. The deceased gentleman had entered the House m 1879, and had always been a consistent, sup porter of the party with which he had been identified. Htis sterling honesty of purpose, and genuine good qualities, had earned for him the esteem of all with whom he had come m contact, and he (Mr Mitchelson) had always found m him a faithful friend, whose advice he had ever been ready to follow. He trusted that the Speaker would convey to Mr Turn bull's family the earnest and hearty sympathy of the House. Mr Ballance seconded the motion for adjournment as an appropriate tribute to one who had occupied so high a place m the regard of honourable members. He desired to say that he had lost an earnest friend, a feeling which was shared by many members of the House. It was well known that Mr Turnbull's geniality of feeling and warmheartedness had en deared him to everybody who knew him. He felt that the colony had lost a conscien tious and upright man, whose life was de voted to what he believed to be the right and true course. Mr Turnbull had been m the House for twelve years, and his public and private character would long be remembered with feelings of respect. He desired to express the sympathy of the House with Mr Turnbull's widow m her affliction. Mr Pyke merely wished to say on that sad occasion (for it was a very sad occasion) that he had lost a valued and personal friend m the late member for Timaru. Mr Rhodes said that he had known Mr Turnbull as long as he could recollect, and should like to add his testimony to what had been paid as to the honorable gentle man's kindness of heart and generosity. In his private and public capacity he was esteemed by all classes, and he (Mr Rhodes) had on many occasions been in debted to him for his kindness and courtesy. Mr Walker, as an old member of the Canterbury Provincial Council, of which Mr Turnbull was a valuable member, could not refrain from saying a few words, although he could add nothing to what had been so well said by other speakers. His recollection of the deceased gentle men went back as far as that of any mem ber of that Chamber, and he had always found him a sterling and upright man, and the supporter of what he considered was right- Major Steward (Waimate) spoke as one who, too, had had the pleasure of Mr * Turnbull's acquaintance for many years. He said that no member with whom he had been associated had so much com bined m himself those sterling qualities which earn the respect and love of those with whom he had come m contact with than the late member for Timaru. He had up to the last few hours taken the most active interest m what was going on m the House, and he had been looking forward to again taking his place amongst them shortly. He (Major Steward) felt convinced that the general feeling would be that no sadder news would be flashed away for some time than would be sent that day. The motion was agreed to, and the House rose at 7.40 p.m.

Notwithstand ing that the crew were pumping for twenty-four hours on the night before, she commenced to settle down. She was running before a heavy gale, and Camden Haven hove m sight sit day light. The deck cargo was jettisoned and the decks swept pf everything before the vessel was abandoned.

TRIENNIAL PARLIAMENTS.

In the |£ouse of Assembly a Bill has been introduced by a private member providing for Triennial Parliaments. The Bill has been read a second time.

The Tapanui " Courier " states that the crop of turnips on 65 acres of Mr Alexander M'Kay's farm on the landslip, Conical Hills, stands unequalled. Forty acres will average turnips weighing from 191 bto 501 b each. He has started to have them eaten off with sheep. On four acres fenced he has had 300 sheep for the last two weeks, and the turnips will, m all likelihood, last for four weeks more. The Southland correspondent of the Canterbury "Times," alluding to the evils of land monopoly, says:—" Very little work is being done just now on the large estates m Southland, which have nearly all fallen into the hands of Mortgage Companies and Banks. There are many properties, each consisting of several thousand acres, which now employ only five or six hands, and, as a consequence, many of the best men are leaving the district, while others would if they could. Mr Richard Turnbull, late M.H.R. for Timaru, died at Wellington last evening. Deceased had been an invalid for some time, and it was thought he would not proceed to Parliament this session. During life Mr Turnbull was one of the most regular attenders at the Parliamentary Buildings, | and, like an old war-horse, he could not be prevailed upon to foi'ego one session even when health demanded it, and he has prac tically died m harness. The meeting of the Presbyterian Musical and Literary Society, which took place last evening m the church, was well at tended, as over eighty members and friends were present. The evening was devoted to the portfolio, and several subjects were dis cussed by the members. " England m Africa," '' The weekly half -holiday," '' Drink ing and smoking," were debated, and the meeting was wound up by the handing round of refreshments provided by the bachelors. The Rev A. M. Beattie, M.A., presided and closed the meeting with the benediction. Mr H. M. Stanley, m his only magazine article, which appeared m the June num ber of Brribner, says : —Constrained at the darkest hour to humbly confess that with out God's help I was helpless, I vowed a vow m the forest solitudes that I would confesß His aid before men. Silence, as of death was round about me; it was mid night ; I was weakened by illness, pros trated by fatigue, and wan with anxiety for my white and black companions, whose fate was a mystery. In this phy sical and mental distress I besought God to give me back my people. Nine hours later we were exulting with a rapturous joy. In full view of all was the crimson flag with the crescent, and beneath its waving folds was the long-lost rear column."

EN MONTHS' SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL.

There is an old saying that physicians are I a class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know less. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with these medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish and not' fore pay, by their frequent failures, the penalty ot refusing instruction unless the teacher bears their own "Hall Mark. An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Sequard, i)f Paris—states the fact accurately when he ,»ays: " The medical profession are so bound up m their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks," We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates t\m important truth. The steamship "Concordia," of the Donaldson Line sailed from. Glasgow for Baltimore m 1887, having on board as afire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. Tie had bean a fireman for fourteen years on. various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had borne the hard and exhausting labor, and had been healthy and strong. On the trip we now name he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste m the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity rf the bowels. Sometimesjwhen at work he had attacks of

giddiness, bub supposed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain m the head. Later during the passage he grew worse, and when the hip reached Halifax he was placed m the Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both he powders and the mixture. A month passed, the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to he visiting physician for the next five months. He gaA re other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture; he digested nothing throwing up all he ate. There was terrible pain m the bowels burning heat m the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Richard had an idea that he took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set m and tit doctor, took ninety ounces of matter from hi* , right side and then told him he was sure to die. Five months more rolled by and there as another change of visiting physiciansh The new one gave Wade a mixture whica he said made Mm tremble like a leaf on tree. At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to stand any more dosing, and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience m the words m which he communicated it to the press. He says: "When I was m this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to be an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive. She told me of a medicine called ' Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and m only ■<■ few days' time I wax out of bed willing for haw, and eggs far brealtfaat. From that time keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well i fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as if I was m another world, and have no llness of any kind." The above facts are calmly and impartially itated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion. We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them m his original deposition. His address is No 244, Stobcross street, Glasgow, where letters \^ill reach him.

Parliamentary Gossip.

[BT TELEGRAM FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] Wellington, July 18. The annual defence report shows that the amount spent on harbor defences from March, 1885, to March, 1890, was £405,896, and the total expendi ture and liabilities at the 31st March last.were £461 3s sd, £238,000 representing the cost of war material im ported from England. The volunteer force comprises 123 corps, 7710 men, of whom there are 4807 men m the Soulh and 2912 m the North Island. In the course of this report on the volunteer system Captain Hume impresses the im portance of placing the force under the command of an officer still serving the army, who will be able to devote {ill his time and attention to their training and organisation.- Hu also advocates the "partially paid system." Reporting on his inspection, he comments on the E Battery (Christchurch) and other corps, and of cadet Corps, and places the Wanganui Collegiate School Cadets first, then Wel lington College and Canterbury High School. Mr Buchanan is asking Government to appoint an expert to report on the prevalence of lung worm, and other parasites among sheep and cattle.

Mount Hutt Road Board.

The adjourned monthly meeting of the above Board was held on July 16th. Present — Messrs .McMillan, Browne, Hibbs, and Cameron. It was decided to fill any dangerous holes on the Broom Park road, and to make up the formation at the junction of Marr's road and the West Coast road ; also to do the work at the upper end of Gunn's road, necessary to make it fit for traffic. Tenders were opened for shingling fifty chains of the Alford Forest road, but as fresh arrange ments had been made about a shingle pit, it was decided to call for fresh tenders, returnable at the next meeting ; also to call for tenders for formation of the Rail way road for the next meeting. Corres pondence was read from the County Uouncil, re Fpoisoned grain required. Information was forwarded from Mr P. Daley re water race ford on the Chertsey road.—Referred to the County Council. From Mr H. G. Baker re Broom Park road.—Received.—From Mr A. Purresre map.—lt was decided to get the altera tions made on the present map. Circulars were received from the Industrial Associa tions, the Trades and Labor Council, and Mr Andrews' re poisoned wheat. The Clerk was instructed to take steps to get m the outstanding rates without delay. Accounts amounting to £138 8s 2d were passed for payment.

What the Yankees call a " cold snap " has been our weather experience this week. This morning the frost was very hard, and a strong sheet of ice was on the Domain, and the Southern Alps were clad with a dense coating of snow that reached far down on the flat. About midday a thaw took place, followed by a fall of rain, and a shift of the wind to a very rainy quarter. There are m England 347 female black smiths, who actually swing heavy hammers, and 9,138 women employed m nail-making, who makes nails for horse-shoes; 10,592 women bind bonks, and 2,302 assist m printing them. In intellectual occupations, women also fill up an important place, the number of teachers being 123,995 ; of clerks m civil service, 2,260; of painters, 1,180; of students, 1,000; and -of engravers, 54. There are 37,910 engaged iv medical and surgical work, nursing, etc. ; 452 busy them selves m editing, compiling and writing books; and 1,300 are employed m the various departments of photography. An interesting report on the meat supply of Australia by the Government statistician gives a great deal of statistical information relating to the flocks and herds m the colonies, and the consumption of meat. Mr Coghlan estimates that the average yearly consumption of meat by each inhabitant of Australia is 2761b5, compared with lOolbs m Great Britain, 1201bs m the United States, and 48.15 m Russia, which has the lowest average of the European states. He cal culates that the supply of sheep is practi cally inexhaustible, because at the present rates of progress it will be 74 years before the demand exceed?, the supply, and taking the most unfavorable view regarding cattle it will be 22 yours before the demand reaches the combined supply. "Quite a wave of secession seems,"writes a correspondent of the "Pall Mall Gazette," *' to be passing over the troubled waters of Anglicanism. Only the only day the Rev C. W. Townsend, M.A., the Principal of the Oxford University Mission at Calcutta, followed the example of the Rev Luke Rivington, M.A., the head of the similar mission at Bombay, and submitted to the Catholic Church : and now it is stated that the Revs William Tatlock, M.A., R. Beasley, M.A., Geo. Clarke, M.A., formerly attached to such well-known High Churches as Christ Church, Clapham (where the Sarum, as dis tinguished from the Roman ritual, is carried out m its entirety), Helmsley (Yorkshire), and St. James-the-Less (Liverpool), have been ' received.'" Moreover, since the begin ning of Lent no fewer than 100 members of the Church of England have joined the Catholic communion m one parish m North London ; and at Brighton, always a centre of Ritualistic activity, the converts are esti mated at nearly 500,
