Bishop Nevill has addressed a circular .to his clergy which concludes thus: — " Should you think it well m the present * unhappy struggle to allude .to it m y6ur sermons, I venture to suggest it would seem more likely to do good if you pointed out breaches of Christian princi pl*a involved m such a condition as now prevails, rather than to go into the merits of economical and commercial problems, which we are not specially qualified^ to solve." ___

1000 Warriors Dance.

The phalanx dance of one thousand of the warriors of Mazamboni—a chief holding ex tensive sway m the district between the edge of the forest and the western shore of the Albert,Nyanza is thus described by Stanley m, hjs :P,aJ"kest Africa :—" The phalanx stood Btlll with spears grounded until a signal from the drums. Katto's big voice was heard breaking out into n, wild triumphant song or chant, and at a particular uplift of note raised his spear, and at once rose a forest of spears high above their heads, and a mighty chorus of voices responded, and the phalanx was seen to move forward, and the earth around my chair, which was a distance of 50 yarfls 1 from the foremost line, shook as. though there was an earthquake. I looked ait the feet of the men and discovered that each man was forcefully stamping the ground and taking forward steps not more than 6 inches long, and it was m this manner that the phalanx moved slowly but irresist ibly. The voices rose and fell m sweeping waves of vocal sound, the forest of spears rose and subsided, with countless flashes of polished iron blades a3 they were tossed aloft and lowered again to the hoarse and exciting thunder of the drums. There was accuracy of cadence of voice and roar of drum ; there was uniform uplift and subsidence of the constantly twirling Bpear blades, there was a simultaneous action of the bodies, and as they brought the tremendous weight of 70 tons of flesh with one regular stamp of the feet to the ground, the firm and hard earth echoed the sound round about tremulously. With all these the thousand heads rose and grouped together, rising when venting the glorious volume of energy, drooping with the undertone of wailing murmur of the multi tude. As they shouted with faces turned upwards and heads bent back to give the fullest effect to the ascending tempest of voices suggestive of quenchless fury, wrath, and exterminating war, it appeared to inflate every soul with the passion of deadly battle, and every eye of the onlookers glowed luridly, and their right arms with clenched fists were shaken on high as though their spirits were thrilled with the martial strains; but as the heads were turned and bowed to the earth we seemed to feel war's agony, and grief, and woe, to think of tears and widows' wails and fatherless orphans' cries, of ruined hearths, and a desolate land. But, again, as the mass, still steadily drawing nearer, tossed their heads backward, and the bristling blades flashed and clashed, and the feathers gaily rustled, there was aloud snortof defiance and such an exulting and energising storm of sound that man saw only the glorious colours of victory and felt only the proud pulses of triumph."

Labor Troubles

[per press association.]

Melbourne, September 11. Mr H. H. Champion, the English labor advocate, m a further communi cation to the "Age," states that al though he should be glad to see workers at Home willing and able to support workers here m any just cause, he cannot forget that the levies they are paying are sorely needed for the defence of Englishmen and women who are chronically within measurable dis tance of starvation. So far as the Dockers are concerned, it is absolutely true that they would not subscribe were it not for the manner m which the Australians of all classes came to their aid m the hour of need.

FEDERATION.

■' The " Age " states that New Zealand seems inclined to adopt a similar policy to Newfoundland m regard to Federa tion, but the presence of some of her leading representatives at the Conven tion wonld have been none the less welcome on that account. The project to be discussed is so complicated, and fraught with such far-reaching conse quences, that it is desirable to obtain all assistance possible from every legi timate quarter. The "Age" adds that it is to be regretted m the fresh proposal of the New Zealand Govern ment no opportunity is afforded for the Opposition as well as the Ministry being represented, and it hopes that Sir George Grey will rerisit Australia, and take part m the deliberations.

YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY

Two sisters named Nell quarrelled through jealousy, and one of them, aged nine (?) years, battered her younger sister's head till she died.

The Lachlan river having overflowed its banks and spread itself over a large area of rabbit-infested land, the rodents were obliged to seek refuge on a comparatively small belt of high land near the town of Hillston. The inhabitants tcok the opportunity thus afforded of instituting a general massacre. A public holiday was proclaimed, a great drive was formed, wings being provided with wire netting, and the rabbits were driven into a small space. The slaughter was im mense. The peopte jumped into the mass of rabbits so thickly crowded together that it was impossible to move without treading upon them, and made war upon them with waddies. In all, upwards of 8000 rabbits paid the penalty attaching to the character of pest. There is a big chance at Madras and Bombay for a number of bright skilled dentists. Madras is a city of 300*000 popu lation, and has not a single dentist. I know people, says a missionary, who travel from thence to Bombay, nearly 1000 miles, m order to have a tooth stopped. There is only one good dentist m Bombay, and he refuses to stop teeth with gold, using a sort of cement that is not lasting. He charges £2 for drawing a tooth. A few good dentists could fo over there now and at once step into a ig business. _
