THE OKIGIW OF SIR JOLIUS VOGEL

The " Brisbane Courier " has the follow ing :—Many years ago, when the railway, was being build from Melbourne to Ballarat, there was a great strike of stonemasons and bricklayers. The rate of wages demanded by the workmen, whose. union was at the time Vrery strong, the contractors would not pay, But through an Israelite, in whom they fancied there wss no guile, the contractors sent to the Centinent of Europe for some hundreds of masons and bricklayers. A shipload of presumably skilled artisans was despatched to Melbourne, and in course of time arrived at Port Philip# The Victorian Union of course heard of the importation of the foreign workmen, and boarded the vessel, interviewed the men, offered to board them ashore and pay them the rate of wages promised by the railway contractors if they would not •• go on the Job." Mtny of these sons of the fatherland fancied they had indeed) reached an earthly puadise^whea they found themselves boarded, lodged, and paid a handsome wager with not a stroke of wirktodo. . But the con tractors were not to be done : they summoned the men before the police magistrate for breach of contract, and sevcal were sent gaol. Meantime it oozed out that the consignment of so-called masons and bricklayers were nothing better than tailors, tinkers, candle stick makers—indeed, of any trade but that for which their tetyices were required. The Masons and Bricklayers' Union saw their opportunity, and used their organisation to force- the contractors to stick to their engage ments with the imported workmen. This was a Roland for an Oliver with a vengeance ; but the contractors were not at the of their resources. An arrangement was come to with the Government that concrete should be Substituted in many of the railway bridges and tunnels for stone and brick, and they forthwith put the newcomers on to work at the concrete under some of tbeir own overseers, who had not joined the workmen in the strike. One final difficulty had to be surmounted. The ntw comers were mostly Germans and Voles, who knew hardly a word of English, while the overseer instructors were versed in no other language. Interpreters had to be {procured, who went from one batch of workmen to another, and were the means of communication between the latter and the overseers, One of these interpreters was a chemist's assistant named Julius Vogel. It was in this fashion that Julius Vogel first appeared on the public horizon of Australia, It boots us not to pursue tKe history of the whilom interpreter . through different stages from the lesseeship of 150,000 acres in West Australia at 5s per 1000 acres, With right of purchase at 2s 6d per acrs, to the Premiership of New Zealand, when he exhibited his financial genius by floating the gigantic loan for which the New Britain of the South became so famous, Julius Vogel by and-bye blossomed into a X CM. v., and shortly after ..... went to England, and there probably in the precincts of the Imperial Institute he poses as an anthorily on on all that pertains to the past, present and future of Australasia. In leisure moments he has even professed that Elijah's mantle has fallen upon him, and he has published a novel or rhapsody in which he prophesies the growth of a kingdom that is to be in the.se Southern seas with endless orders of cheap aristocracy.

London, Jsncaey 14 According to the "JSew York Herald*' the Government relies upon the popu larity of Mr Balfour and the brilliant budget the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Goscfaen, hopes to introduce, as well as the damage they believe Mr Parnell's reputation will sustain by the O'Shea, C divorce cane, to counteract at the poll the damaging eftects of the Westend scandals. iLmongst the reasons hazarded for a dissolution was that owing to the numerous lby-elections which had gone against the Government there was little hope of passing important measures, and also that any scheme to improve Irish affairs necessitated an appeal ■ to the country.
