bullets from the soldiers. Soon I lost consciousness. When I came back to my senses I found myself lying on the floor. I rose with difficulty and saw that the soldiers had left the room, la s corner I perceived Pik, whose body | rested against the wall, his head fell on his chest, and there was a pool of blood by his side. On the floor close by there was a revolver. I thought he was wounded, and hastened to the nexi room to get gome water ; but 3 altering my mind, returned to lay him down Srst on the sofa. When, however, I raised his head, I perceived he was dead. He had, above the left eye, a ghastly hole from which blood and brains oozed and fell on his chest. Profoundly upsat by

this horrible spectacle, I hurried to the next room, There, on all sides, on the i ground and on the beds, I saw the wounded, who were groaning and pray ing for water. Some of our friends had gathered round and tried to help them, Someone having said that there was bo water in the house, but some ice in the yard, I ran out to fetch some. In crossing the third room I saw lying undressed on the bed Sophia Gonre witch, who had been ripped open by the bayonets, One of our comrades was placing pieces of ice onl the Bide of the enormous wound. Her face was deadly pale, and she could hardly speak, • Zotoff,' she murmured, ' good-bye, I am dying. lam suffering horribly. In mercy give me some poison.' I felt as if 1 was going mad, and fled back to the first room, where I heard my com panions loudly demanding that medical •id should be sent." There is much more of the terrible story given by the " Times," but let ns hasten to the sequel. That sequel was a mockery of a trial by court-martial, not of the Governor Ostaehine, be it noted, but of the Burvivors of the wretched band of exiles. At this only soldiers and police were admitted, and no one was allowed to defend the prisoners, nor were they even Bhown the indictment made against them, the result of this mock trial being that three were con demned to deatb, four to penal servitude for life, and six for twenty years, and four women to fifteen years hard labor,* one to penal servitude for ten years, two for eight years, and one for six years. In view of such things as this, what Wonder at the denunciations of Burns, nay, what wonder at the aotivity of dynamiters and Nihilists I Such horrors as theae would be incredible were it not that their occurrenca is indisputable, and, alas, too frequent. But what a state of things to occur in the nineteenth century, and in a country which claims to be a civilised nation!

THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE WATER RACES.

TO THE EDITOR

SIR,—In the report of the last meeting of the Ashburton County Council the following motion was carried :—" That inasmuch as the belief is apparently entertained by some owners of land traversed by water races, that the object of the application made by the Council to His Excellency the Governor to proclaim the county water races under the 267 th section of the Counties Act. 1886, is to acquire the fee simple of the lands occupied by the water races, the Council hefeby disclaims having any such purpose in view." Again, in the report of the meeting bstween the Council and Messrs Deans, Chapman and . Ferriman, on the subject fif the proclamation of the water races, the Chairman in answer to a question as to the meaning of the word "vest" in the Section under which the Council is proceeding, replied, that it does not 'vest the whole 50 links, but only so much as is covered by water." Later on the question was asked " does it (thereby meaniDg the word " vest") make it the freehold of the County Council?" Mr Harper—"Yes, I •think it does."

- These last words do not apparently agree fi with the motion above quoted. Very few people in the County seem to know or care anything about the proposal to proclaim the water races, or how their property will be afiected thereby. .1 think it would be very satisfactory to all " owners of land traversed by water races," if the Chairman will kindJy explain in your columns what the effect of the proposed proclamation will be, Will the fee simple of any portion of land I whatever be acquired by the Council, or does it only require a right of way for the water, and free access at all seasons for the rangers. I and other ratepayers are quite willing to allow the Council every light of way for their water races, and free access for the rangers, but I distinctly object to part with the fee simple of the land. '" Perhaps the mover and seconder of the notion will kindly explain how their motion, and Mr Harper's admission can be reconciled. I am, etc., H, G. Baker, Methven, March 6 890,

THE PARNELL COMMISSION

(psa rasss association.)

London, Miurch 11 and 12.

Lord Eandolph Churchill denounced the Parnell Commission as utterly un constitutional, By means of a ruthless use of the cloturo the Government had forced its opponents to submit. It. was an unprecedented and unparalleled in strument of oppression. He hoped some future Parliament would expunge from its journals the record of the Commis sion.

Mr Chamberlain said the Commis sioners' report showed that the Govern ment was right. The alliance between the Parnellites and the physical force party in America could certainly not be denied. All Mr Forster's charges against the Irish party in 1882 had been proved. Mr Jennings moved the amendment of which he had given notice, but after wards withdrew ifc, declining to allow himself to be identified with Lord Kan dolph Churchill's hostile attitude. Mr Jennings having refused to push his amendment, Mr W. 8. Came moved it, with the result that it was rejected by 321 to 259. Mr W. H. Smith's original motion, | thanking the Commission, was then adopted without division. Lord ft. Churchill, Mr L. Courtney, and Mr Came supported Mr Smith's motion.

After a man has a bout on ale he gets out on bail. Ahout 150 colors are now obtained from ooal tat, whioh has almost entirely supplanted vegetable and animal dyes. The lifeboats round the English coasts during the paEt year rescued 408 persona from the peril of death by drowning.
