Then worse came. He sat down to his table, but revolted from his food; appetite was gone, There was a curious feeling at the stomach; it was cold, dull, and miserable, like a furnace which contains nothing but ashes and cinders. A nasty and nauseous kind of gas or wind came .up into his throat, like the effluvia from a tomb. His wife called his attention' to the ghastly yellow colour of his eyes and skin, and once in a while he would have a spell of palpitation of the heart that made -,;■>; hjm/ afpd; f f filing dcad-r-perhap^ \in some lonely place. In spite C|f,it all, however, Policeman. Jones kept on duty as much as everjh© could, Of course, So would any honest, tilucty man. But he slept fitfully, v/ith bad dreams. He cried out sometime! vfikh the tertor of them, and the frightened children said, "Is papa going to die?" He was, • and is, one of the moat patient and loving of men, yet now he was cross and surly to his family. Then something new developed. There came a pain under his left shoulder blade ; his wrists and knees crew swollen and painful; this was rheumatism, caused, the doctors said, :^by the undigestedjuad fermented food having poisoned the,.blood. . Kidney and bladder complaint followed -for they also are merely symptoms .of indigestion and dyspepsia. The policeman now felt ; he must give up, and, if he did, then what He could foresee nothing >>ut destitution. Now we come to the event which sug gested the question with which this short history begins : Was it an accident, or was it a link in a savins? chain 1 Enter ing the Holyhead station house one day, ill, depressed, weak, and miserable, he saw a little pamphlet under the table. He picked it up and began to read it. In» a few moments his mind was rivetted upon its pages. In clear, plain languago he found his own case fully described, just aB though the book had been written for him and for him alone. It named a i cure for all his ailments, a medicine called j Mother Soigel's Curative Syrup. The plain honesty of the statements won his confidence. He procured half-a-dozen bottles through Mr Henry Wilson, of ihe Drug Hall, Holyhead. Taking it he began to improve, and all his aches and pains vanished in a few weeks. This was August, 1879. Ten years have passed, but not a sign or sympton of his ailment has returned. Mr Jones entered upon a more lucrative business, and wher ever he goes he spreads the fame of Seigel's Syrup, and insists that the glimpse of the book on the table settled the point as to whether he should go under the sod or be the strong new man I ht lias been ever since^

A REPLY TO NEMESIS.

. TO THE EOTrbn. '■'■''■', i Sir,— Although as a rule I prefer, to take no notice of anonymous scribblers, yet the letter in this morning's " Mail" is so misleading that I must reluctantly depart from my rule and correct some of th» writer's misstatements. ■•' Nemesis'' makes two mistakes. First in regard to the norn rfc plume he has adopted, had he pur sued his study of mythology a little further he would have seen that it would have been more in accord with the fitness of things i if he had signed himself " Fabula." Next in regard to the resolution moved by niysell, and which "Nemesis" is-so wrathful about. When I wrote the resolution I did not anticipate tint we ; should have any visitors from Aahburfcon j to our Wakanui meeting. I had thought that we farmers should have beon left pretty much to ourselves, and in viow of that there Would have been nothing wrpng in the resolution. As it was, when I moved the resolution, as soon as it was suggested that the word " electors " f be inserted therein I very willingly con- j sen ted, and the resolution then read! as follows :—" That, while thanking Mr Sawle for his address, this meeting of representative farmers and electors de sir^s,, to- express its , disapproval of the atlemp^to place 1 upon the land more tjsan its fair share of the burden of taxation, as proposed by land tax advocates." j I really fail to see where there was anything unfair in this, but in deference to .the wish of some present I withdrew."the motion, more especially as one or two seemed to think that it might be Con ducive'to; acme: ill-will, a result which I had not contemplated and which I am at all times anxious to avoid, a desire which iinfortuniktely "Nemesis" does not appear to reciprocate. In conclusion, I hope that the next time "Nemesis" essays to enlighten the public, he will have couraaje of his convictions, and not shelter .; hirasclf behind the " coward's castle'] cf anonymity.—*-I ani, etc,, ' , ;{i ., Gborgb W.

. ■ Melboui«»£, November.22. In an article on the proposed cable reductions the " Argus" states, that the delay in accepting the oiler of the Eastern Extension Cable Company does not reflect credit on the colonies, and it hopes that in time Queensland and New Zealand will be ashamed of en joying the facilities, of a cheap cable tarift' at the expen.se of their neighbors, and their responsibilities will be re distributed. The "Argus" considers that when the practicability of the Pacific route is proved it will be time enough to discuss the advantages to be ! derived by those colonies now sub- j sidising the Cable Company for a connection between Canada and Aus tralia.

Cuittt l?onl»'ln«l Contract*. Nelson, November 22. |?At the Supreme Court in the Union case from Westpqrt, Mr Justice Edwards gave judgement for plaintiffs, who re presented} the men actually engaged in the work of Cape Foulwind contract. Defendants alleged that £1138 belonged the Unions, not to workers, the con tracts having/been taken by repre sentatives of the Union with a view to keep up the standard wages— ten shillings per day—which was paid to the men. The Judge said he had been greatly struck by the highly creditable manner in w,hioh these contracts had been carried on from beginning to end. All the proceedings show that in the large body of men employed the utmost loyalty and good faith had been showfiby each to the others ; there had been no attempt on the part of those put in the position of masters over their fellow workmen to abuse the position^ and no attem.pt qn the part of the* IrdrkmeV, !w;h;a: ''W&tf. also masters, to ignore their duty as workmen. Combinations 0* workmen for lawful pur poses such as^this were of a laudable character, and, it was satisfactory to find, can be successfully carried out. It was most unfortunate that, owing to the not surprising misunderstanding of the posi tion, the present dispute should have arisen. The question of costs was not decided.
