The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1891. GLOBE-TROTTERS' MISREPRE SENTATIONS.

''Travellers' tales" was the generic terra applied to the wonderful accounts which were brought back, in the olden times, by visitors to foreign lands, of what they professed to have seen and done. The world was then young— comparatively —menand newstravelled slowly, special correspondents were un known, and there was no telegraph to enable the ridiculous inventions of travellers to be flashed to the part of the globe which they referred to and an exposure of their falsity at once made. For latter-day tourists and their narratives the term " traveil *rs tales "is quite too classical. The being •who corresponds to the " traveller " of half a century ago is of a very inferior type—aitogether of a lower develop ment. Brains enter into his composi tion in an extremely limited degree; money and leisure are all that he re quires, o,r possesses. He lands in a country "strong in the delusion that it is beneath his notice—as if he had any powers of observation which he was capable of exercising. He travels through the country at the greatest possible rate of speed, halting only in one or two of the principal towns, and holding himself loftily aloft from any person or place from whom or which he might possibly learn some fact regarding the country, and fall, ing an easy prey to the staffers of such geese as our tourist, ■who are to be found at every club and hotel and in every railway carriage. Under such circumstances the " tale" is naturally composed of prize lies, outrageous impossibilities, and the usual cock and bull stories that are foisted upon and absorbed by the visitor as authentic information, and the evolution of the English language has supplied for the modern " travellers' tales " the designation of "globe-trotters' yarns." As a rule the, globe trotter has the audacity to publish in one way or other his opinion of the countries he has visited. Gener ally his " yarn" proclaims its own worthlessness, but occasionally the writer has a slightly higher degree of intelligence, and seeks information from those who, he thinks, are quali fied to impart it. In some cases the result is that some useful knowledge is published ; in others designing, unscru" pulous and unpatriotic men gain the ear of the visitOFj and a menclaeiojs but plausible account is circulated, and the latter appears to have been the! case with the Hon. MrFortescue, who, pa the strength of a few mouths' visit,;

criticises the social, political, and finan cial condition, of the Australasian colonies with .an air of authority that is really ludicrous. It is of such as he, we have no doubt, that Sir Saul Samuel so vehemently delivered himself in London the other day. He pro tested wrathfully against the audacity and misrepresentation of which the "globe-trotter"—that peculiar de velopment of cheap and rapid travelling —is habitually guilty. We would have considered that Sit Saul was attaching too much impctance to the "globe-trotters'yarns," but, the offender whom we have named visited the colonies in a quasi-of&cia\ capacity, which has given a fictitious value to his scribblings. A section of the colonial press, too, has helped to give weight to his criticisms by lising his derogatory remarks upon the colonies to bolster up unneighbourly attacks upon each other, while conveniently ignoring the reflections upon them selves. This shows a sad want of loyalty to each other amongst the Australasian colonies* which more than one observer has remark upon. While attacks by one colopy upon another, often on utterly faffse premises, con tinue to be made in the columns of presumably respectable newspapers^ it cannot be expected that "globe trotters' yarns" will be free from misrepresentations. It is a pity that the globe-trotters cannot be made to keep and publish a diary showing ijhe time they were iti the colony, how it was spent, and from whom they de rived their information. The hollow nsss of their pretensions to be capable and accurate observers would then be exposed.

LOCAL AND GENERAL

At the Tim iru Trotting Club's races last week two of the winners, Tennessee and Luquaquilla, were the produce of Black wood Abdallab. The latest ant of the larrikins of Martotr is to tie the mouth of a porker, so that it could not cause alarm, nnd let it down the chim ney of a well-known resident. Mr W. Freeman Kitchen, who lately edited the " Globe " newspaper, iii Dunediu, is said to have followed in the footsteps of David Christie Murray, and taken to the stage. The Minister of Linda is getting the land regulations translated into Maori, in order that the landless natives may ascertain under what conditions they may select holdings. Landless Maoris are said to be becoming very numerous, We learn from the " Hawera Star " that Mr Carey, of Taonui, in writing to a friehd in Normanby, says—"We (myself among the number) are losing a great number of ewes in this district this year, but only those I had at Longburn on cocksfoot. Amongst those I had up here, on rye grass chiefly, I have not lost a single ewe." The Melbourne "Herald" of Ootobor 21, says—A Tasmanian gentleman at present in Melbourne to see the Cup has, we-thank, the champion long price bet about Malvolio. He hag, all told, £900 to £10, and this with out any he.lging, the wagers haring been taken before the last Melb mrne Cup was run for, just after Malvolio had beatsn High born at Oakleigh Park. Stoats and weasels threaten to become a serious nuisance in various p.irta of the colony. A recent number of the " Mana watu Standard" reports that a stoat was caught in I lie act of killing the seventh of a litter of seven sucking pigs, having already finished off the ■otheraix-—result-execution without trial. Trie " Tiniaru H^rala " also mentions that weasels are becoming numer ous in the Totara Valley, South Canterbury. Mr P. Lawry, chairman of the Parlia mentary Stock Committee, is about to visit.Canterbury, for the purpose of making enquiry and reporting as to the desirableness of the Government spending a sum of 16030, to subsidise a similar contribution of £6000 by properly owners in the Cuiterbury province, to protect Crown lands and private lands there from the spread of the rabbit pest. A physician, going down Regent street, in in London wi'h a friend, said to him : " Let as avoid that pretty little woman you see on the left; she k lows me again, and casts upon me looks of indignation. I attended tier; husband, and " " Ah, 1 understand ;■' you had the misfortune to dispatch him." "On ths contrary,'' replied the doctor, "I saved him ; and neither she nor her lover has ever forgiven me." By a fire which oocurrel in Sydenham ou Monday night a detached block of wooden shops and dwellings combined were totally destroyed. The insurances were :— James Perks, plumber, £200 on the building and 1100 on the stock, etc., in the Royal; Charles Hansen, owner of two shops, one empty, South British, £230: A. Paddy, saddler, stock in the Australian Alliance, £50. The fire originated in an empty shop, but it ia not known how. The adjourned meeting of the Waterton Library Committee was held on Saturday evening ; all the members were present. A rather lively discussion took place re rent of Hall to the Salvation Army. It was proposed and seconded that the Army have the Hall at 2s 61 per week ; this was carried by a large majority. The tenders for en larging the Hall were considered too high, and- it was resolved to call for fresh tenders for labor only. It was reported that sub scriptions were coming in freely, and it is hoped that the building will be finished by the end of the year. The " Ol'jua Downs mystery," which term came into use in reference to the finding of a human skeleton in a swamp on the Oroua estate, Rangitikei, has been cleared up. Constable Gillespie has discovered that the remains he disinterred are those of a half witted fellow who wes working a year a t o at a flax mill in the neighbourhood, and who when last seen was wandering about in an aimless sort of way. The VVauganui " Herald " remarks that it is an unpleasant idea that a man with a weak iutellect should be allowed to wander about and die like a dog, but it is one that cannot, in a ne*f country, very well b^ avoided. The monthly meeting of the Elgin School Committee was held on Monday evening. Present—Messrs Iloatten (chairman), Scott, Kennedy, Dwyer, Cochraine, and WiUiam. son. The Chairman reported that the Board had voted 15 for the purpose of erecting a eoalshed. It was decided to erect same at once. He also stated that the swing re quired repairing, and that the proceeds of the concert were very satisfactory. The Master reported that the aVt-rage attendance for last month was 455, and that he required a modulator and some pointers. It was resolved that the above be procured. It was also resolved that the Board be Written to, acquainting them of *lie repairs required in the sehoolhousa. The Chairman was autho rised to pay all accounts in connection with concert. It was decided to write to the parents of irregular attenders asking them to send their children more regular in the future. Messrs Cochrane and Scott weie appointed a Visiting Committee for the present month.

Tne Sultan of Morocco has directed that young girla shall no longer be publicly sold .in the markets of Fez unci other towns. South-west rain set in at Christchurch this 1 'morning with every appearance of continu ing. About four hundred passengers for New i Zealand are being brought by the stea nera Waihora and Jubilee, which left Sydney yesterday. Monday next, November 9, being the Prince of Wales' Birthday, Telegraph Offices which open to the public on Suudays and holidays will \vs ppen from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., and from 7 to 8 p.m. W. H. Cooper, butcher, was charged at Chfistehurch to-day with exposing diseased meat for sale and remanded. Inspector Ponder said it w«3. alleged that the mutton Was affected by abscess. At the Christchurch R.M. Court, to-day, a boy name Rosaiiowski was chvrged with breaking into and entering his father's house and stealing therefrom £2. The boy was proved t/j be incorrigible and was sent to Buruham until he attain the j age of fourteen. j A Wanganui exchange saya-thab whilst j Mr James Beck was '-dismantling an old dwelling in-Guytoq street, formerly occupied by the late Mrs Campbell, he came upon a rvt's nest, which contained amongst other things an unpresented cheque on the Bank of New South Wales drawn by David Murray in favor of " Brandon," for the sum of £2 3s and dated January 2, 18S6. The town to-day was en fi te, the cause being the wedding of Mr Denis McKendry with Miss Maggie Henry, and Mr David Zander with Miss Ruliy Herman. The wedding cf Mr McKendry and Miss Henry took place in the Catholic Chapel, which was crowded on the occasion ; and Mr Zander's with Miss Herman was celebrated at Strelitz, the residence of the bridegroom's brother. Fuller reports are held over. ' The new telegram forms were brought into use on the Ist instant, and may be obtained on application at the telegraph offices. The old forms in possession of the public should be returned. The new forms are, however, condemned as . rlamry and inconvenient;, and 'it is thought that the pressure of public opinion will cause the Government to revert to the old style as soon as'the new forms are used up. On Tuesday evening a lecture describing Hhe ecene of the Mount Tarawera eruption was delivered in the Primitive Methodist Church by the Rev W. C. Woodward. The attendance waa good, and the lecture, for mi hour and a half, was listened to with great attention. At the close a vote of thanks was pissed to the lecturer, and to all those who had helped to make the Anniversary services a snesess. This included those who had unintentionally beeu omitted in the previous report- Regulations under the Land and Income Assessment Act, 1891, were published oil | Saturday in the form of a supplement to the "Gazette." The form of assessment roll provides for a statement of the actual value of each property, including improvements, for local rating purposes, and separate state ments ■ df the value of the owner's interest, the value of the lessee's interest, the value of improvements, and the unimproved value. The appointment of assessors and inspecting assessors under the Act arc also gazetted. His Excellency the Governor, writing to the Bishop of Dunedin to explain why he was unable to accept the invitation to lay the foundation stone of the Selwyn Theological College, said:-—"The last week in October lias long been engaged for a visit of the Premier to myself here, during which I am miking arrangements for him to see some of the practical work carried on by the agricul turists ot the district who have estates""of some size; and as this ia a question which is likely to be of immediate political import ance to those interested, it is one which. I am anxious that. Mr Ballanee should study under the most favorable circumstances. I fear, therefars, that it will be impossible for me to be at Dunedin at the date you name." A .shocking scene occurred recently at the funeral of a Mrs Reid> a, widow, near Ba.il.y- men 1"., North of Ireland. The coffin was being carried on the shoulders of friends, and several carriages followed ; the horse attached to one of the latter suddenly ran i.jto the midst of the pall-bearers, some of whom were thrown on the road with the coffin. One wheel of the carriage to which the runaway horse waa attached, and in which sat three people, went over a pall bearer nimed Cilderwoor), and the other wheel passed over the coffin, the lid of which was burst open, and the corpse was thrown out on the road amidst the greatest conster nation on the part of those in attendance. The Rev Mr Morrell, Pre&byrerian clergy man, fainted, and a painful scene ensued. Calderwooil was seriously hurt. "The Times" makes the very important announcement that Mr Field, a well-known engineer, has discovered a method of greatly increasing the efficiency of the steam engine. Instead of feeding live steam from the boiler to the cylinders, he mixes a volume of live steam in a closed chamber with eight, times that volume of atmospheric air, heated to a temperature of say 400 degrees, Mr Field claims ttiat the to:al contents of thecnamber will have the expansive force of the steam so introduced. This claim, if substantiated, amounts to increasing the energy obtained from coal about eight times. The method of application seems to be simple : a closed chamber is connected with each side of the oiston, into this air lieu ted by the waste heat of the furnaces is forced, after which a proportion of steam is injected, and the com bination vapour used in the cylinder as steam, The experiments reported upon and the information given would indicate that this is a most important discovery, and may lead to-marked changes, "The Times" characterises it as the most revolutionary discovery of recent times* The Scotch correspondent of the " Otago Witness " writes :—" Some skilled workmen from Galashiels have been experiencing the bitterness of the animosity felt in Portugal towards Great Britain. The men in question were induced to leave Scotland thre3 or four months ago to take leading posts in a factory 25 miles from Lisbon, where shawls were made. One of the men was to manage the works, and the others were appointed foremen of the different departments. They found they had to reorganise the entire establishment, and tointro luce order and discipline. The inhab, itants of the town, on account of the strained relations between Great Britain and Portugal, resolved to drive the loreign workmen out of the place. The directors of the company owning the works resisted, but the state of public feeling became so excited that the authorities said they could not guarantiee the safety of the men, and they accordingly had to leave the country. Two English workmen and a German had to leave with them. Thp directors paid their expenses home ...and gxve them a monjth;s salary. Portugal is at the present time qii the verge of bankruptcy, tind there seems little hope df i£ reviving finincially if the proceedings I have outlined are a fair specimen of the policy of its people They are the losers, for, after §11, the world can get on very well without Portugal, whatever the Portuguese may think to the contrary in their extraordinary ami amusing national conceit.'*

LADIES' COLUMN.

/ he Duchess do la Torre, widow r»f '■ Marshal Sorrano, has come into a'fortuno which she had never expected to enjoy. She had just been informed, says a Paris i correspondent, thab a treasure de'p'dbited in a bank in Engl.ind by-her grandfather, a great Cuban planter, and a miser, had boon discovered. He had first baried it in his garden near London, in the presence of two slaves, who disappeared. The Duchess de H Torre will g«t by this discovery about £400,000. The entire sum di°covered comes to £8,400,000, The Countess of Caithness, it is sud, being also a granddaughter of the money hiding planter, is equally entitled to £400,^000.

A lady writes:—"One of the most poetic things about a fr.shionable woman's toilet- ia her handkerchief. T refer, of course, to the dainty 1 i'; of lace which the coquette (hops in order that her cavalier may, as lift picks it up for her. catch a whiff of" the intoxicating perfume* which it exhales. But "there are other handkerchiefs. There is the ha-ndker chief which the fashionable woman thrusts upon her pillow, the plain white* batiste, hem-stitched and perfumed with iris, a delicate and sootliins odour. Then there is the morning handkorchief of foulard, white or rod, large and useful for outitia: purposes. Something more dressy is batiste in delicifce colours. For a dinner party choose mousstline de &o!e, the border being embroidered with a delicate] sprayof flowers. A pineappleeiiibroiderod* with coral and trimmed with Mechlin is very stylish, The handkerchief of' the ball toilet nxust be light, cobwebby, i : a"d airy, and always white and never per fumed, save by me.ins of a sachet, The ball handkerchief calls for an Alencon border."

Some men can get rid of their guests with comparative facility (writes Mr James Payn, the novelist), but they must have high rank and no manners. I kno>v », noble and hospitable lord Who " weetir" his visitors evdry morning by the suumiary process of asking the butler, at breakfast for "Bradshaw" and reading out the list of those persons he has got weary of. "Your train, Mr Guy, goes 'at ll.iio', and the carriage will beatthedoor at 11 o'clock sharp." But this is an heroic remedy such as only a peer of the realm can use. I don't defend it (though I must confess I admire his lordship's way), but it must be allowed thab some persons who find life afc a great cpuntiy house agreeable to thsm do not scruple to overstay their welcome. Just as one who is going away maysay to himself, " Among so many gdests I shall not be-missedj" they say to themselves, when they have made up their mind to stop, ''Among so many g-jests I shall not be nqticed," but in thia they take too humble a view of their own individuality. A gentleman of this kind once stayed fche entire autumn at a certain nobleman's geat..., A fellow-guest, astonished at find iiig him there, and so Ions?, observed, *' I did not know you knew Lord H," "I dkln't know him, no,r his wife either," was thesnahteles* rep]y; " but I knew tKay were not on epeaking'terms, and that each would be sure to think the other had in vited me, and it is really a capital house co stay at." . > :

Here is the «uriuus history of two dresses, as told by the " Pall Mnll Gazette"; —For months they remained stored in a .packing:case at the Custom House iv New York. They had come the way. from Paris, and were niarveKof what Parisian tailorcrafb codld do. The consignee was Mrp Aster, whose husband -is wortlnniillion.s, and. who drosses as the wife of, a millinn;u'ro may ba Jiupposoflifc) dress. Tlie Parisian milliner, acting in • his ■■own- 1 Interest, declared the value at 500 francs, ami the New York Custom House officer—probably a married man. — declare I that that was not anything like the value. The ledy refused to supple ment the deficiencies of hey dressmaker. She had paid him for the dresses, and it was a matter between hnn and the Custom House authorities. So the case stood—with the dresses in it. The New York Custom House seems'to have very little red tape in ita administration. For it decided that, as the drosses would rapidly go out of fashion, the best plan was to sell them oy auction. It wis a ureat event. All New York was interested to si;e them, and to see whit they would fe^ch. Th-3 auction room was crowded, and competition w.is keen. One dress was knocked down for £'128, the other for £152. The names of the purchasers are iiot given, but if they arc a secret they will not long remain so. ;

Blouses, or shirts, as they are fre quently termed, are too well adapted f.O our climate to go out of fashion, arid various new models have been prepared this season. The height and width of the sleeves are the .leading features this summer, and stiff collars and cuffs are still the rule. Blouses of simple make may be elaborated by fanciful trimmings and rendered dressy and effective at a. small expense. On black blous«s a pointed braid of gold tinsel well dotted with jet studshas the effectof a very"'ex pensive trimming;, but does not raally cost so much if the; sfeuds ax-e added at home, Trimniiugs roundjthe arm-hole is a popular style, and these trimmings are repeated back and front, the fulness in the centre of the back being identical with that in front. Braid or passemen terie looks well arranged in this manner on §Uk or woollen blouses, while trim mings of guipure lace look equally well on pink or blue zephyrs. The plastron pi contrasting material let into a blouse has a stylish effect, and this style may be carried QUfe agcordino; to taste. Black arid colored fabrics may be advantageously' mixed in this fashion using the.colour at front and back and for cuffs, collar, and belt. Another fashion isto make these 1 portions of beaded grenadine or of brocade, and usa plain surah' for there mainder, and in similar fashion, too, a charming washing blouse may be made of pink or blue zephyr, with the pastroi>, etc., of the piece ajiplique' or embroidery which is now so much used ou summer gowns,

The Bogus Telegrams.

Further detaite of the bogus telegrams, which were received last week by Auck- Innd residents, have been telegraphed to the " Otago Daily Times "as follows : — MrJ. M. Shera, M.H.R., on entering St. James Hall on Thursday evtn;ng to address his constituents, was handed a telegam (or what purported to be a telegraph) dafed Christcfturch, and pur porting to be from the Hon J. Ballance, as follows : — " Get Auckland members to support Government. I promise Strat ford route." Mr Shera was somewhat taken aback by this rather remarkable proposal, and showed the document to a friend, who, observing the absence of the office stamp, at once decided that the thing was a hoax. Mr W. J. Napier was similarly favoured. When his clerk arrived at the offices yes terday morning, ho found what appeared to he a telegram, which on being opened was found te read as follows :—" W. J. Napier, solicitn", —Would you, with others, accept a seat in the Legislative Council?—(Signed) J. Ballance." Th"s te'egrain, like others purporting to be from Mr Ballance, had' " Christchurch " p.r the place from which the message wa.i supposed to have been despatched. Mr Napier says he did not realise thu tele gram was a'hoWx for a little while, but, beting busy,iput it into his pocket. Before ho did anything in reference to the matter Mr Shera came }n, and throwing his (Mr

Shera's) telesriam down on the office < t*bie asked, "What da you think of that?' iTlio hoax was then made plain fco.bjth. Harold Kissling, employed at the office of the .Colonial Sugar Company, who was understood to have drawn Paris, a big j favourite in a bhf. sweep for the Mel bourne. Cup, received a message purport ing to, bo signed by-the nominator of that horse as follows :—" Will scratch Paris unless you lay me 3000 to 10." Kissling had previously received informa tion ihat he had iK>t drawn Paris, and on close inspection of the message anno t> ihe conclusion that an attempt had been made to hoax him. A bogus telegram Tplirporthig to "be from the Hon. the Premier to J. H. Witheford was received by that gentle man yesterday, inquiring "Are you of opinion that £20,030,000 could be ob tained from our railways ?—(Signed) J. BAMANCEi" As the telegraph office stamp was nob upon the form Mr Withe ford, being " fly " in matters of this kind, at once asked the officer in charge of the telegraph office if any message had come through from the Premier. The reply beinw in the negative, -Mr Witheford, of 6owr.se, paid no further attention to the patter, ' Captain Kohn, officer commanding the City Guards Corps of Volunteers* re ceived a message purporting to have been signed by the Defence Minister, inquiring " Will you take command of Auckland Volunteers ?" This message was left in Tvohn's shop by a boy, and he states lie discovered it to be a h.>ax immediately-ho opened it. H. Montgomery, lieutenant of the Auckland City Guards, was similarly "favored." On Wednesday 'afternoon lv had lunded to him what t seemed to be an ordinary telegram left at the " Obsorver"officepurporlingtobefroni Wellington) as follows :—■•' Lieut. Mont | stomery, can you raise naval co'ips in Auckland by December. If so will give you. full capitation grantof £100, and will make.you Lieutenanit-commaridei I. — 1 (Signed)-R.- J.Sjbddon." Montgomery, fas in duty bound, placed the telegram in the hands of his commanding officer, who displayed the message he hi»d himself .received; and denounced both as forgeries. Dr Laishley, the well-known solicitor, was probably the worst treated of all. At a .quarter to five o'clock on Thursday Afternoon a little boy came into his office, :and, while Dr Liishley was engaged talk ing to a' gentleman, put a telegram into his hand, addressed"" Dr Laishley, Auck land." In the envelope was what pur ported to be a telegram, although the customary stamp was nob there, to the following effect :-—" Can you form one of -a commission on education 1 " Dr Laish ley received,the telegram in good faith, ;an.d in due course wrote cut his reply, which He senß to the telegraph office- Being in reply*to', what appeared tc he a Ministerial query he did not send any money, anticipating his message wouldbe franked as a matter of course. The counter .clerk, however, declined ;to accept the reply on these terms, where upon Jjv Laishley explained his message was in reply to a telegram sent by the Premier. In this case Mr Furby said he would frank Dr Laishley's telegram, but he asked that he should first be shown the Premier's telegram, which was duly presented, and declared to bo a forgery. W. Jennings, secretary of the Liberal Association, haci delivered at the " Star " offico what purported to be a telegram from the Preaiier, Christchurch, ;vs follows : —" Will you, with others of the ■\ss tciation, accept a scat in the Legisla tive Council/—(Signed) J. Ballasuk." Ml- Jcnning* had his suspicions aroused, and, on comp irin;< his " telegram " with others in .the office, came to ihe con clusion that no answer would be required. Mr Ward, employed in (he "Herald" litlL«»i;raj>liie (luj»«-tHiettl Wiwt the Kliljjec^ <>f a very cruel j^ke, inasmuch as it mi^ht have caused him to pack u[> his Lays a.jd undertake a wild goose chase to Welling ton, lie received a telegram apparently from the secret-try of the Druids Lodge, Wellington, inquiring " Will you come down to attend conference as a delegate for. Auckland people. All expenses will be paid." Mr Ward, buiug unable to make out the signature, .went to the telegraph office to have it repeated, and the hoax was exploded with harmless results. Mr Napier has looked up the hiw upon this subject, and has come to the con clusion that thu perpetrators can be pitiiislied by twelve months' imp ison ment, or by a fine o f £100, or both, sc the parties concerned in thft ufFair maj have to pay dearly for their little bit of fun if

they are caught. .. ■ '.. - Mr Furby, officer in charge of Auck land telegraphs, is naturally very much annoyed about the affair. , Telegraph forms ana envelopes may have beeri .printed.'specially for this purpose, but ,Mr Furby thinks it more probable they were obtained from one of the numerous telegraph bureaus, at which they, are placed for the despatch of telegrams.

The Women of India.

A fair audience musbered at the Presby terian Church last night, when Mrs Long hurst, the lady superintendent of the Zenana missions at Madras, addressed those present on the work and its results. The Rev.. A.M. Beattie, M, A., opened the meeting with praise and prayer, and the Rev. A. Blake then introduced the lady (speaker, giving some statistics of

missionary work in India, and critisisina some newspaper remarks, made fco the effect that come of Mrs Longhurst's state manfcs were exaggerated. Mrs Longhurst

then gave her address from.the platform. •She has a quiet clear delivery and is of p,reposessing appearance, and the audience if ere evidently deeply interested and very attentive all through the: address, which contained a fund of informaUon, thab only a lady of Mrs Longhurst's experience arid jposition could possibly give,: under the vtery peculiar conditions of female life and ■society,-in-India.. Some of her statements wer'o that,'Z'liana, means the rooms de voted to women only in Hindoo houses, ahd even up to the present time, after over forty years missionary efforts, no male missionary or doctor even has been [ a|lpwed access to those apartments. The average Hindoo thinks a women is only fife to cook food, and that any sort of education would only be thrown away on her, so the males cannot understand why any interest is tnkeu iri their .women by the missionaries, who have found out that the best way is for them to try and work their way first with the children, and then their example may lead to some improvement in the condition of the life of the mothers themselves. The head of a house was always a grandmother or even a greatgrandmother, »t anyrate an old woman of some sort, the males never in terfering or troubling themselves in this direction. Few of the upper class or caste women of India are seen in the streets or in public, even at great cere monies and fetes the ladies present would be all European, or if any natives they would be Christians and as such deprived of their rank and caste. The low caste women are the workers ; they make and repair toads, plant and till the land and do other heavy work, the same as the men. The population of India is 285,000,000, of which 150,000,000 are females, and of these 21,000,000 are widows, and this

latter class are even worse treated than the other women, as the Hindoos always ■ consider the wife in fault if her husband die". .Now that sutt(p or the burning alive of the wife with tlie husband's body ' his'tbeen totally abolished, the widows are still badly treated as such and in np case ever allowed to marry again. Vivid descriptions were given of tha interior of i bo+h ordinary and superior houses in Madras, and the, manner of life of the'

, inmates, especially, the female portion ' Those details were of great interest, as in ordinary cases • even visitors of distin guished rank are not allowed to soe the i femile quarters or the inmates either. It | has taken the lady missionaries years of patient toil to gain access to these Zenana rooms. -Hindoo girls who have been elu cated are fouad to excel Europeans in their mental powers, and many examina tions in various colleges have proved this. Infant marriage is the great ourse of India, and it is only recently passed into Jaw in Bengal that girls were not to marry under twelve years of age.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment exert a rapidly favorable effect in all those diseases which are induced by exposure to damp or by great changes in temperature. They will therefore be found eminently service able to those who work in iron foundries, copper mines, and collieries. These well known remedies present manifest advantages in respect of use and effectiveness, being entirely compounded of vegetable drugs selected with the greatest care and"regard less of price. When used in accordance with the ample printed directions wliicH 1 accompany them, .they act surely but mildly," and do not interfere with the daily work. J There are but few diseases which are not capable of cure—or, at all events, of great relief—if Ijolloway's remedies are persever ingly used "'.„•._„ Ninian Hyblop and Co.'& " I« lf jeriai pure Ceylor; and Indian Teaa are the best in the market. —(idvt,) '
