A OENEEAL ELECTION ASKED FOB.. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr Tanner moved an amendment that in the opinion of this House it is desirable that a general election through affluxion of time shall take place before next census is taken, and that the Government be re quested to bring in a Bill to give effect to this resolution. Mr Mitchelson replied that the Govern ment were anxious to make considerable progress with the Estimates before bring ing down the labour Bills, but he in tended to take the second reading of those Bills on Tuesday. In reply to Mr Richardson (Kaiapoi), Mr Mitchelson said that the Public Works Statement would be delivered on Tuesday next. Mr Tanner's amendment was put and lost by 64 to 6. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The House then went into Committee of Supply for consideration of the Esti mates. Mr McKenzie (Waihemo) moved that the salary of the clerk of the Executive Council and secretary to the Cabinet be • reduced from £500 to £450. ! Captain Russell hoped that the com- j jnittee would pause before making this | reduction. His opinion was that by reductions of this kind they would not save £2000 on the whole of the Estimates. The reduction was carried by 49 to 21. Messengers and office keepers—£43oo. Mr Rhodes then moved a reduction of £5 by way of protest against the increases of salaries. i|Carried:by3lto3o. department—£27oo. .'' Mr Seddon moved to reduce the vote by £100. He protested against one of the Representation Commissioners being a near relative of the Minister for Educa tion, and said that it was in direct con travention of the feeling of the House when they decided to put the matter outside politics. Replying to Mr Anderson, Captain Russell said that, whatever happened, the Government fully intended to reduce the Estimates by £50,000, and any reductions now made by the committee would effect very little —only to the extent of two or thousand pounds. The House rose at 1.15 a.m,

New Zealand's Impres sion Upon an Outsider

An Englsh commercial gentleman who lately visited this colony, writes as follows to a friend in Auckland :— Liverpoool, Bth May, 1890. You are a community who have had the pluck and unselfishness to spend money freely for those coming after you, bearing the burden of heavy interest on your own shoulders. Creditors are well secured by the honor and ability of your people, by vast tracts of lands still undis posed of, to say nothing of a very large proportion of your debt being represented by bonafide public works, harbors, rail ways, telegraphs, roads, bridges, light houses, etc., etc., most of which will be abundantly productive as population in creases. You havemade thecountry a most eligible one for respectable settlers, and one of these early days the class you want will find out the country, and then the debt per head will appear trifling, and your revenue will enable you to wipe out all the debt you wished cancelled. But when it comes to borrowing money at 3J to 4 per cent in England you had better remain in debt and use your own capital in still further developing the resources of your rich and beautiful country. £11,900 due daily as interest to foreign bondholders looks a large sum, but look at the trans formation of a couple of islands as large as Great ,Britain from a virgin of wild ness, destitute of most of the fruits and animals of the earth, with impassable rivers, a fierce and cannibal population, in a space of time between your youth and maturity, transferred into a veritable garadise, with well-lighted coasts and arbors, railways, trams, roads, telegraph wires, bridges, handsome well-watered towns, churches, schools, colleges, and libraries, established on the most satis factory basis. Yourwars terminated, tastes cultivated, and even sport supplied with salmon and trout, deer, and pheasants, to say nothing of rabbits ! Look at the quality and quantity of your sheep, your cattle and horses, at your wheat and oats, potatoes, dairy produce, and fruits ! your coal, gold and buildingstone, timber, gum and flax ! In such a climate surrounded by such glorious scenery, a free people, ruled with justice, and safe from foreign enemies, will become the most happy and prosperous nation on earth. The next generation will feel amused, though I hope grateful at the quiet grumbling of their fathers, and the tone of daspondency which prevailed during my visit. In fluenced by Australian gossip, I anti cipated looking upon a half-bankrupt people, but when I had passed through fche districts between Lakes Wakatipu and Wanaka to Dunedin, and afterwards through Canterbury, I made up my mind that if what I saw was depression I should have liked to have "half the complaint." I hope you will live to see the full tide of prosperity setting in upon your adopted country.—'"'Nelson Evening Mail."

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLA

To the Editor of " Saturday Night,', Birmingham. I recently came into posses sion of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be giad to assist in making them public. The follows ing letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Presa. They come from a highly responsible source, and may be received without ques tion. MESSAGE from George Jamks Gost use*, L.D.S., R.C.S.L, Ph. C.1., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowinarket, July 18, 1889. To Mr White, The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk, The statement was entirely voluntary, and - i« genuine ia fact M)cl detail,—GrJ.G,* ik

"To the Proprietors oflTMother Seigel's " Gentlemen.— The following remarkable cure was related to me by the husband, Mary Ann Spink, of Finborough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she? is now fifty), she was compelled, in consequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxe3 of Seigel's Operating Pills, the use of her limb wax restored, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease in three J quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who deubts this story can fully ascertain its i truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and*enquiring of the villagers, who will rcetify to the facts." . "Appended is the husband's signatu to the statement. : " (R. Spink), G. S. Sostling,- : - .■. : Ipswich Street, ; Stowmarket.. ; This is certainly a very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman liad been a cripple for twenty of her best years ; years, in which she should have had such comfort and enjoyment as jlie has to give. But, on the contrary she was a miserable burden te herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews Tier youth and almost begins-'a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder it is ! No on|e who knows' her, or who reads her story, bat will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us if we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles, .. .

Read this certificate :—*'24th April, 1885 — Messrs Sander and Sons, —It is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Eucalypti Extract. Having had inflammation of the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard in the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hours for nine or ten days it was out of all danger. I would persuade all who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and I am convinced that they will find it the most wonderful of medicines.—Yours, etc., E. J. Cujinow, Wattle street, Sand hurst.—(Advt.) 5 Statutory Declaration.—l, Franz Raabe Ironbark, Sandhurst, in the colony of Vic toria, Australia, do solemnly and sincerely declare that on the 25th June, 1877, my son Alfred, six years of age, was accidentally hurt with an axe on his knee. lat once took all pains to secure medical assistance. How ever, in spite of all efforts, on the 27th August, 1877, the opinion was given by Dr Macgillivray that an amputation of the injured limb had become imperative, in order to save life. At this juncture I called on Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Extract of Eucalyptus. Globulus, and by the application o the same I had the satisfaction of seeing my son within a fort night out of all danger, and to-day he is recovered. I may just add that it was when the crisis had been reached that the Extract referred to was first applied, and I make this solemn declaration, etc. — Franz Raabe. Declared at Sandhurst, in the colony of Victoria, Australia, this seventeenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, before me, Moritz Cohn, J.P. - Advt.) 6 NEW ZEALAND RAILWAYS.
