VIENNA UNDER SNOW

A. Vienna correspondent wiote on December 3rd :-—Snow has been falling in Vienna without intermission for th« past three days,* and the capital la in those parts In which the sweepers and snow pldngh'bave not been at work, several feet deep in snow. With one exoeptloD, •11 the railways whioh have termini in Vienna, h»ve stopped running, and so have both: the 1 tramway companies in the capital. Omnibuses also are few and far between, while miuy of them plying to and from the suburbs, In common with a large number of other vehicles, are literally itaok fast in the anow. So deep Jt the snow In most pacts of the capital that In many oaaei residents found It difficult to leave their houses this mom log. The railway itatioDs are aoenes of almost abiolate desolation, engines and carriages being mow bi.nnd just outside the covered portion of the atat'ons. Many of the suburbs are In consequence wholly oat off from communication with the oapltal. If this state of things con tinues for a day or two longer there will be a serious soarolty of provisions, the capita! being very greatly dependent for ite food luppllea from the suburbs. To day, indeed, the vegetable, meat, and provision markets were well oigh deserted few Of J>o supplies having reaohed the capital. In the inner town some thousands of men are engaged in clearing the snow away, with the result that tha principal thoroughfares are now payable for Ugh: vehicles. Walking on tha pavements, however, Is dangerous, &» there are con tinual heavy falls of snow from the roofs, whloh, coming from Bach great heights, •re likely to came eerions misshlef.

THE NEW CRUISER 'BLAKE"

The largest and heaviest nnarmoured cinlaar now afloat was launched on Satur day, November 23, et Chatham Dookyard, bf Lady, George Hamilton, wife of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and was named the Blake. The new vessel may be classified as a steel twln-sorew deok piroieoted cralser of, the first rank. The reiiell, which waa designed under the aupervlslon of Mr W. H. White, Assistant Controller and Director of Naval Ooa •truetlon, waa laid down July, 1888, and Is to be completed foe sea early In 1891. Her chief dimensions are : Length, 175 ft; beam 66ft; tonnuge displacement, 9000; mean draught, 25ft 9ln. As regards swift ness, she will be superior to everything afloat, save only a few of tlie most modern torpedo oraft. The Blake will carry 1 two bairelled lln Nordenfeldt, seven *4551n Ki?rdepfeldt macnlua guae, and two 0-pr Bowt gnus, besides four torpedo discharg ing tub^e., She, will carry 1500 tons of coals or jrjffiolent to enable bar to steam 8640' knots' at the economical speed of ton knots an hour; but she will have storage capacity for 1600 tons, an amount which, It is computed, will give her a radius of action ofc no less than 3000 miles at a continuous speed of twenty knots—a f peed whlcb.lt Is hoped by ber designers, she will be able to maintain at ees, for, If aeoessaty. several days consecutively. Her proteotlra deck, whioh extends ovet the whole length of the vessel, and oovere •11 the vltsl parts of the ship, Is of steel, and varlea la thickness from three to six Inches. No other cruiser in the world has anything approaching to this degree of horizontal protection, whioh is, In faot, equal to the protection which would be afforded by about thirteen Inches of perpendicular aimor. Her design In cludes a Tery heavily armored cooning tower, from which, In action, the vessel will be fought, and two oscond class Tarrow torpedo boat*, whioh are to ba carried on the spar deck, and In which II will be possible to get up steam before Jibey are lowered into the water, so that Immediately after having been lowered the* 1/AU be oapab'e otsiwftlng away at full speei.

A WONDERFUL EXPERIMENT.

An Albury telegram to the "Sydney Telegraph" says:—Three months ago Dr Kennedy, attached to the medical staff of the Albury Hospital, experimented with the Brown-Sequard treatment on an old man named O'Brien, with a result that attracted much attention in medical circles. O'Brien, who was an inma'e of the institution, was suffering from hydatids, and had become so debilitated that his recovery was considered hopeless. At this juncture Dr Kennedy decided to subject him to the Brown-Sequard treatment for the restoration of vigor to impaired systems, arid O'Brien displayed a wonderful degree of improvement, and was walking about the hospital grounds a few days afterwards. He has since been subjected to the same treatment, and yesterday was discharged from the institution apparently in full possesssion of health. He syas he was never be.ter in his life, and go.s to seek work at harvesting. . It was an ancient swagman , Fiung down his tattered drum, And said he'd take his Davy, 'Twas nearly kingdom come, : And thought he'd be an angel In a little brace of shakes, In a country free from hydatids, 1 Or any other aches^, But the doctor took some water, ■ And of gnineT pigs a few, And pestled and mortared i A rejuvenating stew, ' And took the ancient swagman, And punctured deep his skin, And sub-cutaneous guinea pig Went rippling gently in. And then that ancient swagman Took up his tattered drum, And said he'd take his Davy 'Twas far from Kingdom come, High flourished the shillelagh, " Chuck'd barmaids 'neath the chin," And swore by all the little saints, He'd skip to harvesting.

THE MARQUIS OF CLANRI CARDE

The following account of the man whose name has become famous—or infamous— by reason of the evictions he has carried oa will be of Interest. The Marquis of Claorlcarde lives la chambers in the Albany. He In frequently aeen at the Travellers and occasionally at the Devon ahlr<;. Ho is not particularly popular, hut people occasionally like to'heer him talk. He in no!, without wit. eßpeoially of the oynio order, and eometimea ha laughs at hlmeelfr There are numberless stories in illus tration of his eooievrbfls parsimonious habits. One night & member of the Tra vellers, bs fee wont ou', observed an sx ceedhgly shabby cist and a terrible um brella. Me assumed that the coat be loaglid to one of the workmen, and had been left there by mUtake. The porter b*»; biro right; it was tho oiat of the M irqula of OUndowde, and the unutter able " gamp " was alan the property of the lost; of a once herolo Irish family. Somebody object id one day to ihe I Travellers bs bmug very dingy ; but the Marquis cheerily remarked rh*t he had not done np his chambers (n iha Albany for some twenty years; and that be rather liked the dust. Bu<; thsre la ad even be'ter story with regard to these same chambers. He wrote a letter to his landlady complaining strongly of the noxious smells that infested her rooms. These email* would h»ve to be put an end to or his rent would luxve to be re duced, The Marquis has not given even his own relations much reason to love him, When either hla father or mother died, the rela tives, who bud coma long distauces to attend the funeral, bod to go to the hotel to get refreshments; and pay for the re freshments themaelveß. Tbia strange spirit of eoonomy Is the more Inexplicable, as the Marquis moist be a man of enormons weal h. Up to a few years ago be reoolved nearly £20,000 a year from bis tenantry ; and, he wa3 left srmethfng llks n of a million by Lord O&nning, his unolo. The theory of aomo paople w^o knew him whan be was a dlplomatlo attach* la that he was so sourvlly treated then and compelled to live on so small an «liowanoe that he contrasted penurious habits, which he baa never been able to shake off sinoe. He came into the title qalte unexpectedly. His elder brother, Lord Dunkel'in, died somewhat suddenly at about forty years of age^ and died a bachelor. Lord Dankellin was rather a popular man ; and his statue standa to-day la a square In the towa of Gaiaw&y, which he represented for some years. Hoir different are the political tffalra of Ireland from the day when the writer saw Lord Dunkello bringing op his tenants like sbeep to vote by open votlug for euoh candidate as he nominated, The present Marquis does not even take the trouble to attempt dlotatlon. He is content whh eviction.

The singer's opening night had been very success ful . Next day, as Mr Kennedy was taking his walks abroad in the outskirts of the town, he met a grave-looking man, who addressed him in the Sootoh aoeent, "I was hearing ye last night, Mr Kennedy," he said, " and I was gey weel pleased, but I was na satisfied wi' that song ye sang, the " Land o' the Leal," for ye didna state the auld man's grounds of aaauranoe that he wad meet his wife in Heaven 1" Amazed at this theological criticism of one of the most beautiful songs in the language, he returned to town and mentioned the inoident to some of his friends " Oh, that man's daft," said they, and he was relieved to hear it.

TEN MONTHS'SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL

There is an old saying that physicians are 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 apt to be conceited. They ' don't like to be beaten at their own trade by outsiders who have never studied medicine. They therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " Hill Mark" An eminent physician—Dr Brown- Sequard, of Paris—states the fact accura'ely when he says : "The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that j they allow the diamond truths of science to be , picked up by persons entirely outsidt their ranks." We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship " Concordii," of the Dona dson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richar i Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had born the hard and exhausting abor, 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, heart burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of giddiness, but suppesed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often lie was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in 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 the powders and the mixture. A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for the next five months. He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade sufferel great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he a'e. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in 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, operat ing pills one every night, and temperature I pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an Wea that he took enough to do it, But on ! the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctors took ninety ounces of matter from his right side, and then told him he was sure to die. Five months more rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said made him tremble like a leaf on a 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 tbis 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 in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press. He says: •' When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to be an ■ aiigel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alivet She told me of a medicine j called ' Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and i : brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only \ a few days' time I was out of bed calling for ham and eggs for breakfast* From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great | remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind," The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion; We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them pi his original \ deposition. His address is NC>. 244, Stob cross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach him,
