Government have under consideration the question of employing convict labor m the construction of a road from Milford Sound to the Sutherland Falls. If it is decided to carry out the project Govern ment will have constructed a number of portable houses for the accommodation of convicts and warders. At a mesting of the Diocesan Synod this morning Mr C. Rous Marten moved his motion re the Private Schools Bill, urging upon all church members to vote for those members afc the Government election who will support such a measure. Mr Marten said the resolution waa outcome of a meeting hold during tho recess, and he w;is simply the mouthpiece of the committee. The Rev Mr Coffey seconded the motion. Mr Jellicoo spoke strongly against it, saying it was undesirable that the Church should be mixed up m politics to such an extent. Mr Cottey said the typical Parliamentary man feared no God— all he feared was hisconstituents. The Rev Mr Page moved an amendment that the Synod pass on to the next order of the clay. Mr Richardson seconded the amendment, which was lost by 19 to 21. After a short discussion the motion was lost by 23 to 17.

CrtKisTCHUKCH, October 13. This morni/is? the steamer Lawrence arrived with 300 tons of coal from the Jtfokihinui mine for the railway. The Lawrence is manned by a Union crew, »nd gets her coal from a Union mine, and her owners have mana^fd to keep the vessel manned by her old crew and J their mine open. When the vessel j arrived the captain applied to have the Union wharf laborers to discharge her cargo, and Union hands m the railway trucks to receive it; and the men were willing to do, tho work ; but when the railway officers were applied to put the jnen on, the stationmasfcer declined, Haying he had his own men ready to go into the trucks. The captain offered to pay the men working m the railway fcrucks Himself, which offer was refused. The captain's endeavor was to keep the non-Uhionists away from the work of landing his cargo, ho that his crew and the infners engaged m Mokihhrai mine would not be affected. He states that at Timaru, Napier, and other ports he has visited during the strike, the railway people hays allowed him to engage what men he wished to work m the trucks. Telegrams were sent to Wellington, and at 3 p.m. instructions were received not to unload pending further orders. Inveroargill, October 13.

PEOPLE BOUND TO THE STAKE.

The great majority of people have to work for a living with hands or head, or both. Very well. To make our living we must be able to labor so many hours m a day, days m a week, weeks m a year. Very good again. But suppose we each had an emeny who possessed the power to tie us up with a rope when he pi eased- To day he ties only the left arm, to morrow the right, the next day a leg, and so on. Once m a while he ties us to our beds and keeps up there a week. How much would lie cost, us m hard cash m a year ? and how much wonld it be worth to us if we could chain him to a rock or hang him with his own rope ? Let •is have i roiu:h illustration or two A man was working on the Midland Railway as % signalman. We all know Avhat tha position is, and have some idea of the labor and responsibility. W'sll, he kept at it.for several years, never missing a day. He knew his business, nobody better, and nothing went wrong on his section of the liup- ; bub by-and-by his enemy began to tie him up. Somehow he couldn't eat with a relish any more ; when he tried he was taken with such a distress it took all the life out of him. Then he would have times when he was so giddy that everything went round and round like a whirligig. If this had happened when he h;id a signal to set 5< a collision might havo conic of ifc ; happily it did hot. Other ropes were tried around him ; he had pains m the chest and sides, his bowels became costive, tongue coated, bad taste m the mouth, heartburn, weak ness, &c. The doctors said he would have to give up his situation ; but he couldn't. There were the wife nd children to be looked out for, and only his earnings to do it with. But finally he broke down altogether, and was laid up for weeks, unconscious part of the time Then, we may say, he was tied hand and foot. His enemy had him fast, and came nigh killing him. One day, after the doctors had ! given him up, his mind was clear, and he remembered a medicine —half the bottle full—he had hidden away m a locker m a signal box and forgotten all about it. Re sent for it and look a dose. Tn less than a month he was a well man ; the rope? were all cut away. If you write to him (Andrew Agge, Oulgaith; Cumberland) he tell you this medicine was Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and his ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia. But, whilst he was ill with it, he might as well —yes, better—have been tied to a stake. There are lots of cases of this sort all over England—all over the world. A few of them we hear of ; millions of them we' never hear of. Sometimes it is heart disease sometimes rheumatism; sometimes con sumption ; sometimes general debility ; sometimes kidney and bladder complaint ; sometimes nervous prostration ; some times liver disorder. That is, the doctors call it by all these hard names, but at bottom it is indigestion and dyspepsia, and all these other so-called diseases are just tokens and symptoms of that—neither more nor less. If a man never had any trouble with his stomach, he might live for ever, for aught we can tell. Yet how, m Mercy's name, can a man or woman work with death and corruption inside of the body—with the stomach full of de caying food, sending poison through the blood to every joint, muscle, and nerve ? This is what dyspepsia does. Indigestion is ft slow but sure poison, just as taking so many grains of arsenic every day would be. Here is another case, fchafc of a railway fireman, who writes from Hurlford. He says: "I have been a suffer from mdi gestion and dyspepsia for three years ; I tried several doctors, but got worse all the time, Afc last I wont to a chemist and he promised to cure me m a week or two He sold me three vpvy expensive bottles of medicine, and all the effect I felt from it was the loss of my money. Then I got hold of a bottle, pf Mother Seigel's Syrup, and was better almost at once. How sorry I am I didn't use it years ago!" >Ye can give this man's name if you care to .have it. He didn't want it printed. But he was as good as tied up for a long while. Illness is a strong rope. Here is one more illustration. Mr It. P. Hopton, of Long Weston, says: " I am sixty-eight years old. Mother Seigel's Syrup lias not quite made me a young man again, bu|b It has cured me of asthma, nervous prostration, and a throat ailment arising from impure b|ood, I was too ill to labour, yet can now do my work thanks to that great remedy. You may publish the fact. The whole complication cam* first from indigestion." And this is the way people are bound until Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup sets them free,
