Svdnen, June 12. John Farnhani and Buchanan, the fireman and stoker of the Sydney train, which collided with the Brisbane mail train at Farley on the 13th ult, have been acquitted on a charge of manslaughter. At the inquest into the circumstances attending the col lision the jury had found that Farnham and Buchanan were guilty of culpable negligence, and they were arrested to answer the charge.

John Steebe, the Bank note forger, was found guilty, and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. When ar rested several hundred clever forgeries or £1 notes on the Australian Joint Stock Bank, Sydney, and the Union Bank, Melbourne, were found in his possession, and in his house at Water loo copper plates, stamps, dies, and other engraver's appliances were found

French Defences in Southern Savoy.

The Geneva correspondent of the "Daily News" says that attention is being directed to the series of forts and works of defence which France is sup posed to be establishing in Southern Savoy, with a view of defending its fron tier on the Italian side. These works are carried on with discretion, and no stranger is allowed to approach, but from time to time the commercial travellers who tra verse the region, and who go on to Geneva, give curious details'concerning the work carried on by the French staff. The Alpine corps of the French army, of quite recent farmation, have" been going through mountain drills and exercises. Last autumn, during the manoeuvres, a whole battery of field artillery was made •to traverse passages hitherto considered impracticable even for mules. Quite recently the. presence in these heights .of the 12fch Regiment of Chasseurs Alpins was reported. Up to the present the higher passages of the Alps, when buried in snow, were considered as almost impracticable in the depth of winter. Recent experiences tend to prove the contrary, and it is believed that a detachment of disciplined troops ceai -attain without great difficulty the highesfc-firnmmita .during the /severest Alpine whiter, and in the. event of war could "watch the frontiers and so reduce the possibilities of a disastrous surprise to a minimum."- The detachment of the 12fch Battalion of Chasseurs, in spite of a temperature of sdeg. fahr.. have succeeded after traversing unfathomable depths of jsnow, in attaining and crossing the Belle dbn and fche Giand Vodene peaks and the ridge of the Chamousset, and many other of the highest summits.

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE

To the Editor^ of "Saturday Night,', Birmingham. I recently came into posses sion of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be giad to ..assist in making them public.. The follow ing letters were ehown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the ' Preea. They come from a highly responsible scmrce, and may be received without ques tion. MESSAGE from George James Gost iaso, L.8.5., R.C.5.1., Ph. C.1., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18, 1889. To Mb White, The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk-, The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail, —G. J.G. "To, the Proprietors of Mother Seise Vs Syrup." v . ' " GEiJXtBMEK.~The following remarkable oure was related to me by the husband, Mary Ann Spinkj of Finborough, Suffolk, waa for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in consequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then'with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Se'igeFs Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's ■ Operasing Pills, the use of her limb mas t'eatored, and she is now able to walk three j miles to Stowmarket with ease in three quarters of an hour. Any aufferer who - tteubta this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will rcetify to £ne facts." S "Appended is the husband's signatu c to the statement."' « (R/Spink), ' . G, S. Sostling, "' . • •" Ipswich Street, Stowmarket. Tkn i 3 Qertainly ft very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. * This • poor woman had been a cripple for twenty of her best years; years in which she should U»ve had such comfort and enjoyment as

life has to give. But, on the contrary, sbe was a miserable burden te herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at "an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder it is ! No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be'thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us if we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles.

HOW PILLS ARE MADE

The Custom of taking medicine in the form of _ pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us' to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every yccr. In early days, pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingre dients employed No form of medication can be better a pill, provided only it is intelligently pre pared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either under shoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when_ one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pains in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this xinhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous matter.

But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than he disease itself. The grroing caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain, Such pills are harmful, and .should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother SeigePs Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually possess every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and egularity. They never gripe or pro duce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing diseases. If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pills will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow. Unlike many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, tne best family physic ever discovered. They remove all obstruction to the natural functions in ither sex without any unpleasant effects. It should be explained that, this mos remarkable cure Is due to the fact tha rheumatism is • a disease of the blood Indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsid cause the poison from the partiaily digested food to enter*.the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muacles. This is rheumatism. Seigel's Sprup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further foormation aud deposit of the poison. It then removes from the system the poison already there. It is not a cure-all. It does it 3 wonderful work entirely by its mysterious action upon j the digestive organs. But when we remem ber that nine-tents of our ailments arise out of those organswecan understand why Seigels Syrup cures any diseases that appears to be so different in their nature.

TO-DAY'SJJLEGRAMS [per press association J Wellington, June 13. The Trades and Labor Council have decided to insist on the Tramway ComJ pany accepting the same terms as the Bus Company, namely, 66 hours per week for grooms, and 72 for guards ; wages for drivers 45s per week, guards 20s to 255, grooms 40s to 455, the minimum only to apply to new and unskilled hands. The Council considers the scheme pro posed by tramway owners as visionary and unstable, and intend, if necessary, to force the adoption of their proposals. The body of a young woman named Delia Len&han, a barmaid, was found floating in the harbor this morning. It is supposed to be a case of accidental drown ing. Christchukch, June 13.

Timabu, June 13. Speaking at Wai-iti last night Major Steward said he intended to move reso* lutions for the adoption of the Swiss Re ferendum and a Fixed Executive, to be discussed by the House and country. He ' condemned the land administration, saying that recent sales did not mean proportionate] settlement so much as extension of existing holdings. The railways, he said, were ill managed, and Vaile's system should be tried. He hoped the House would vote a sum for re-purchase of land for labor settlements, % Dunedin, June 13. The Federated Seamen's Union have sent £27 10s to the Wharf Laborers' Union, and £50 in aid of the strikers at" isha<f Point.

Buda Pesth, June 12. M.
