The Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1890. ACUTE ANGLOPHOBIA.

It is remarkable how very different the self-same things appear, when re garded by different observers from' different points of view, though it may be (so many-sided is truth) that, as in the old story of the chameleon, each of the differing spectators has some justifi cation for his opinions. No better illustration of this could be wished than is to be found in the respective views of the English and Portuguese peoples in relation to the incidents which have recently occurred in Zambesiland, and 'in which Major Serpa Pinto and Consul Johnston played prominent parts. The action of the former on behalf of Portugal was regarded in England as an insult to the flag, and brought about a prompt and determined interference by Lord Salisbury, which earned ior him and his Government great kudos, and inspired a lively satisfaction among the denizens of Greater Britain as well as among those of Great Britain itself. But on the other hand the action of Major Pinto was applauded by the Portuguese, and that of Consul Johnston bitterly denounced, Portugal has been com pelled to abate her pretensions, and yield to England's claims, but it is evident that her people regard the situation with anything but equanimity —rather indeed we should say with feelings of great bitterness. Some idea of the extent to which Anglophobia has attained, may be gathered from the following translation from a Portuguese paper given by the Lisbon correspondent of the "Standard":

—" War upon the Englishmen ! War, yes war, upon the gang of thieves, war without trace or quarter, war in every shape and form. Destroy England's commerce, show up her dishonor. Let Europe know what cowardly rascals live in its midst—rascals who cringe to powerful Bismarck and to the United States, but are insolent when they feel they can be so with impunity. The English are a mean race, who have got on by deceitjembezzlement, villiany, robbery, and corruption. Let every Portuguese who loves his country regard the name of England as synonymous with the vilest vices. We call upon our countrymen under pain of defilement to shake no Englishman's hand. It a Por tuguese woman listens to the addresses of an English thief she will be dis honored. It is our first duty to our children to teach them to hato the ac cursed spawn of Norman and Saxon pirates, and to grow up and avenge the sffront given to their fathers. Villains 1 Villainp, all 1 And if a squadron of (hose wretches dare enter our Tagus to affront us for being poor in warehips, and to threaten as with their guns, let the p3ople without hesitation mike prisoners of the whole English colony, sparing neither women nor children, and tell the admiral that, if one bombshell falls in Lisbon, every one of these hostages will b8 put to death without an hour's delay. Tho wretches may then do their worst, Lisbon will not have died without wreak ing vengconoo." -Ibis is pretty tall, and indicates that if Portugal does not fight it is not because she has not the will, but that she knows herself to be over matched. One thing, however, she can evidently not be excelled in — tho capability for screeching.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

New South Wales-and Queensland have erected 887 miles of rabbit-proof fences. The Queensland hired girl gets 103 a week and tbe Madagascar biied giri 3d. Mme. Carnot, wife of lha President of Franoe, is said to ba the bast dressed and most charitable woman in Paris. Sir William Wasten.ya (bart) was sued the other day for ±10 wages due to the oompa on the " Waikato News." A starling was discovered at the bottom of a ooal pit near Airdrie, and on being taken to ihe surface it next day returned to the bottom of the shaft, come 900 ft. A eon of Mr Hatch, of Invercargill, had a narrow esospe of death by drowning the other day. He fell overboard from the Echooneer Awarua, and the mate (Me Hannen) had to dive twice before be was reaoutd. Five years ago the production of petroleum in Ohio was herdly worth mentioning. Last year her production was J0 ( 000,000 barrels, egaiast 16,000 000 barrels for Pennsylvania, and tbis year it is believed that the production ia Ohio will lead all other States. * We ha»e to acknowledge the receipt of No, , 1 of ." The Worker," published in Brisbane, as the organ of the industrial classes. Jfc is 'well edited, and promises well to fulfil the mission it has e^t itsolf—the voicing of the wants and wisheg and the advancement of the interests of the great army of labor. There ie a ourious enactment in Sweden in regard to commercial travellers. Any foreigner, or Swedish eubjeot residing abroad, who visits Sweden for the purposes of trade, mnsfc give a declaration as to how long he intends to stay, and he must pay a tax of about £5 10s per month for tbe privilege of being allowed to conduot his bufcjaesa.

We hear rrush, ray a the London corres pondent of the "Glasgow Etearld," of the enormous labour involved in our various oyolofje Has. What of this from China ? The great Enoyclopeeiia compiled by the Celestial specialists in the reiga of Kiea-Lung is to be re-edited and practically rewritten. It is a work that dwarf 3 the " Britannioa," for the index alone oonsists of fourteen large volumes.

Some speculation has been caused at Ayr by the discovery on the North beach of a number of old coins bearing the Irish harp. &ow they got there is a mystery, of which several solutions are effered. One that does not seem quite improbable is that thoy were brought over among the ballast of Borne ship from Belfast. Scotland nevertheless, has not hitherto been used to Ireland'^ casting up gold and silver on her shores.

While, until within the last few days, nearly all the rest of the colony has for months been suffering from drought, part or ihe JJawke's Bay district has been having a superabund ance Gf moiHlure, The " Wairoa Guardian," published at Olive, says :■—■" Wo regret to learn that owing ia tbe d&mpnSsa of tho autumn season very few, if any, of <he bush felling contractors in this district have suc ceeded in burning off. Tbis is rather a pity, as it will prevent Bowing, apd in the mean' time tbe undersorub is growing rapidly."

A e&d ca^o of tho drowning of a family by tbe sudden rising of a creek is reported fropi Gyrup'e ia Qaeeneland. The husbajjd and father, who is the sole survivor tells a harrow. ing tale of tho efforts mede by him in tho tUtkness of the night to save hfa wife and ahildren by jacking horn tree to tree as tha water rose. The poor sufferers, however, seem to have been in some degree ia fault, as j&faey jjllowed the flood to approaoh their Init too ol<?seljjr they tried to remove to higher ground.

In British Guiana a a&tura^st,'' in the lotert-Rta of science," has ooloniged Biwe Bpsoimons of tbe fer-de-lance viper, the dead liest of all the eeipent race. Tbis sn^ke has heretofore never been met .with outeide the Mana o? Martinique. Jt3 bite, believe^ to be incurable, produces speedy and horrible death, the victim's body putrefying even befo.re dissolution. The eoisntifio gentleman of Guiana probably wants to test tbe theory that the reptile cannot exist except on its native hie 1 Hq should be led to big pete.

A young lady ot Mississippi was visiting the blue-grass region of Eentuoky, and was entertained at a dinner-party at the governor's mansion. During the course of the dinner | a degenerate son of the governor talked wildly about things' in general, and among them a pretty woman whom he had met with in his tour through the State, The girl from Mississippi awaited her opportuoity. and duriog a lull in tbe oonver eation turned and asked the governor if what she had heard of the gentlemen of Kentucky was true. The governor wished to know what it was, and the whole company awaited the lady's response in Bilence. "Well," saidahe, "I heard that Kentucky gentlemen eduoate their horses and turn their sons out to grass." Aa unfortunate man named Pierre, a carpenter, living in a village near Besanoon, haß just put an end to his days in a very tragic manner. After soaking the furniture and walls of bis cottage with petroleum, he set fire to the plaoe, and then went upstairs to an attic and hanged himself, Perceiving the flames and the smoke tha neighbors ran in, and Pierre, who was not yet dead, and feared they would out him down, blew out his 1 brains before their eyes with a revolver with whioh he had taken the precaution of pro viding himself. A few days before he had carved bis own epitaph on a wooden oross which he had made, concluding with the worda, "Don't pray for him; hiß Hell is over?" There is no doubt that the poor fellow was mad,

Samuel James Wood, the veteran London fireman, died reoentlv. For thirty years he wafl a member of the Boyal Sooiety for Protec tion of Life from Fire, and subsequently, on its formation, oi the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. He held the Society's medal with six clasps for saving life, and had also a gold and a silver medal presented to him by the inhabitants of Whitechapel, the district in whioh most of his exploits were performed. His record of lives saved was 183. One of his deeds was perpetuated in a picture by a Royal Aoademioian, and many of his ex periences are inoluded in Ballantyne's " Fighting the Flames." Most people in Whiteohapel knew Wood, and all who did not know him knew his dog, whioh is still knciwn and celebrated as the " Fire Brigade dog," but he was Wood's own animal. Ten years ago Wood retired from the Brigade on the pension to whioh thirty years' honorable servioe had entitled him.

Some good stories, Bays an exchange, are being told just now about the influenza epidemio, but the following caps any that have hitherto been told. It happened in Germany, One of the railway employees of a much frequented line, whose duty it was to stand at a level oroseing, fhg in hand, when the train passed, thought he had influenza, and applied to the authorities for a visit of the company's medical adviser. The latter, however, was extremely busy, and could not 830 his way to travel to tbe out-of-the-way village where the flagman lived, He was, however, a man of resources, and ordered the rntient to stand at his post wheu a certain train came by in whioh the doc or was travel ling, and to put his tongue out as far as be possibly oould, incrder that ths medico might see what waa the matter. The flagman, nothing daunted, obeyed the order, with tbe ie3ult that the company received no end of letters in whioh complaints were made about the extreme rudeness of one of the company's employees. The best medicine known is SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. Testa ita iminent powerful effects in coughs, colds, influenza, eto. —the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty the King of Italy, and medical syndicates all over the globe, are its patrons, Read the official reports that accompany eaoh bottle. We have no occasion to offer rewards in proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medical clinics and universities, the official communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne; the diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdam—all these are authentio docu ments, and, as such, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated by Siegen, M.D., Professor, etc, Burning of the right hand through the ex plosion of a small oil stove. The epidermis out the yolar and palmer Bide of the hand of the .thirty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as ar as the joint of the hind. The likewise lifted nails were hanging loose, and half of the phalanx , the nail of the middle finger was coaled. Thi wounds thus contracted healed in three weeks under aily applications of JSuo&lyptio Extract dressing. Tbe patient has retained the full use of the hand.— (Advt 1

THE CRISIS IN GERMANY

(PER PBR6S ASSOCIATION.)

Berlin, March 21 find 22

In his special order the Emperor says it is impossible to repay Bismarck for his unequalled services to Germany. The ex-Chancellor would still continue to advise the Government when neces sal7, ?nd b's Peace policy would be maintained. The resignation is said td be finally due to the Emperor insisting thai Ministers should be responsible apart from the Premier.

Herr de Caprivi conferred with Prince Bismarck before assuming office, and declined to accept the Chancellor ship unless he was also appointed President of Prussia. Acting, however, on the advice of Prince Bismarck, he withdrew his objection, and was ap pointed Chancellor. It is probable that Count Hatzfeldt will succeed Count Herbert Bismarck as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The statement that Couot yon Waldersee intended to resign owing to differences with the Emperor is un founded,

The Emperor has declined to accept the resignation of the Prussian Ministry, which was sent in simultaneously with that of Prince Bismarck.

It is reported that Prince Bismarck has declined a dukedom, as he is too poor to maintain the dignity.

Count Herbert Bismarck still presses his desire to resign.

EARLY CLOSING.

TO THB BDIIOB.

Sib.—Kindly allow me to say a few words In your columns, upon the pro tninQnt noolal question "Early closing." Firstly ; are the hours of labor In retail shops too long, and are shop asafstants Injured by too maoh confinement? They •re. Modern Sooloiy has not created or 1 fostered any greater abomination, than " night shopping," a oastonj that ruins very many constitutions, by the ovor ntraln it pnts upon them. Can It ba good for a youog girl just baddlng Into woman* hood, to stand about In a shop every Saturday, from twelve to sixteen hoars ? Any medical man osn tell: It rains | thousands, both physically and mentally. What gives on? shopmen the appearance of being consumptive? Want of anffioient outdoor reoaeatlon. Oar colony's wealth Is its people's manhood, md if by foster- Ing pernicious and injurious customs, we weaken that, we destroy the wealth of oar colony. Therefore as it la generally ac knowledged that late shopping Is a great and unnecessary evil, it beoomes the doty of all oolonlsts to aid the Early Closing AeBoo!atlon to their utmost" To the as sistants of all trades let me lay; the remedy of the enll is in oar own hands, if we pat away all trade jaalouiles, and form ourselves Into one organisation throughout New Zialand, Union is strength, and whan we are all associated by anion, we can at ones and for ever destroy the abominable oanaerous trade custom, "late chopping," from lover aarglll to Auckland. The interests of all retail assistants are identical, and o»n best be protected by one general organisa tion ; therefore, wherever this letter is read, form at onoa a Branch of the New Zaaland Early Closing Association. Its full programme is, universal closing at six p.m., and a weekly half-holiday. It's seoood rale provides for dealing with any difficulty or matters sffaotlng its members, and give (t all the powers of an ordinary Trades Union, although lta polioy Is at present a Pacific ore, and alms at protecting the interests of employers, as well as of the employee. We shall be glad to forward any information, rues eto, to any town or olty in the oolony, where It Ib wished to form a branch.

AS AUSTRIAN ROMANCE.

(From the '«Standard.")

Dcrlrg bia stay of aeva?*! hoars la B zjn tho Emperor Francis Joseph p»!d » visit to the Arohdatee Henry, on which occasion the Aroaduke'a contort. Bironesa Waldock, «nd tholr daofehter, Bironess Marie, wero Introduced to His Msjes'y, This announcement, ehott »s It ta, poeee3ses muoh interest for thoae who are acquainted with tho romanoa of tha Aiohdcka'a life. Tn h!a marriage that Prlnoe had oommUted snob * breach of tho traditional rules and us»gcs of the Hapabarg family that for 21 years be has lived estranged from the head of the Imparial House. Oa Febraafy 4th, 1868, Archduke Henry married Fc^aieia Lso poldins Hofmsan. She was the daughter of a very humble official employed in the Asseesjioat offioe t,t Krema, in Cpper Aastria. la sil princely families It is a strict and invariable rule that the sanction of the head of tba house must bo previously obtaiced to any proposed matrimonial alllanoa ; but to the marrUge of the Acchdoka Henry not only wbb the Emperor's fipproval not obtoiaad, bat the prohibition of the cupti&la iEßaed by HU M^jjßtv waa disobeyed, with the reaolt that tho Archduke was for many years expatriated. He forfeited his appoint ment as general In command of a Dlvlaioa of Infantry, and his name was efcrack oat of the list of honorary colonels of Austrian raglmeots. Moreover, hie appanage from the Imperial Civil Ltst was stopped, ond and tha disgrace he had fallen Into vrza marked in many other w&ye.

Archduke Henry felt deeply the loss of hia military ranfc, and atill more bh exile, but otherwise hia marriage brought hfm unalloyed happiness At length the Em peror's diapleasara began todiaappaar, and tha Archduks was allowed to take up bia permanent residence n a Tyroleaa town. With hi* wife, who had meanwhile been raised to noble rank under the title of Baronets Waldeok, and with the only child of their marriage! a daughter who is now 18 yoarß old, the 'oivi i»n' Archduke Henry for some Ume lived the quiet con tented life, of a laoded proprietor. Hia chief nnx refy now arose from the fact that his ©itatea, which are Bltustei near the river Adige, frequently Buffered from inunda tions, thus often reducing his slender in come belo? tho modest requirements of a household in which charity on a liberal gsale formed the chief item in the budget. The repatriation of the Arohducal family was poimitted ia 1873, and ever since that time tha home of Archduke Henry in Bozen has btfln a centre of intellectual life for a wide district in the Tyrol. Authors and musicians, actors, journalists, and painters, former military comrades of the rchduke, or friendn of the Baroness, whatever their position in life, have at all time 3 been welccmo guests. The Arch duko boa been in the habit of visiting Vienna only once a year privately. He has never set foot in the Hofbarg, His hat tppearan3e v there was on tha raelao oholy occasion of Grown Prince' Rudolph's funeral. Even then he kept away from tho rest of the family, only joining them la the mortuary chapel of the Capuchins. The last tWng he expected was that the Smperor would ever pay him a viiit; but that event having taken place, and his family hav:ng been introduced to His Majesty, the doors of the Holberg are at length open to them. Ere long, therefore, the daughter of the tax office olerk will be received by the Empreds in the palace and welcome i ai? a relative, as ehe has long been by Archduke and Archduchess fiainer.

Archduke Henry was the yonngeat eon of the late A.rohdaka Katner, Viceroy of Limbatdy. He wan bora la Milan on May 9bb, 1828, and Is therefore 61 years old. Wnen a youth of 20 he oorami.tad a very foolish act, by wricing a private letter to a friend, in whioh he spoke la dlsre apeuifal terms of the young Emperor Francis Joßeph, «rho had just ascended the throne, The frlei^i w&s not discreet; the letter was {published ia a TarJn news p^par, and the Archdvke was summoned to Vienna to be oennored, ac ha deasrved, by Agchducheea Sophie, the young Em peror's mother, who for a time was the virtual ruler of Austria. The pumViment of Arohdigko Henry waa to be, that he rauat enter holy orders and abandon the military careo?, to whioh ho waa devctedly attached. Eventually, howeve*, the Arohdake waa allowed to raiurn to his regiment. In course of time he waa pro moted to the rattk of genera', and wai atat.ioned et Grata, It w*s there he m.de tho ?cqvjalutftnoe of Ff&uleln Hofmann, a Binder at tha theatre, with the monthly aaUrp of 50 florins. Shp was by no means a geeat linger. Her best role vas that of P*mola In 'FraDiavoloj* bat she was pretty qulckwiltod, (he vory type of a Viennese girl, and above all irreproachable Id hei conduct and mannera. The acquaintance, which never ceased to be a most honorable one w already UM some time, when war broke out m the aorth so well asm the south, and the Arckduk* had to take the fidld in Italy. Before leaving he gave his word of honor to the glr) he loved that be would mwry her Uhii life waaipared, and

this promise he faithfully kept. The 1 chamberlain of the Archduke thought it his duty officially to inform the Emperor (f the ongagemeut that had taken place, which o*lled forth the Interdiot already mentioned, and occasioned also offers of large sums of money to the girl from per eouß whose intentica it was to make them salves agreeable to the Court* &ha was to ba persuaded either to marry someone else or to leave Europe and to hide her address from her lover; bat she did neither, and wont to reside with her eiitor in Hutteldorf near Vienna, where the Archduke on his return from Italy found her. Shortly afterwards they were legally married in the parish oburch of Bozen.
