Imperial Politics.

Lohdon, Angus' 14

Mr Gladstone denies that he evei advocated the abolition of the second chamber.

After disposing of the Address-in - Reply and the Estimates, the Govern ment propose to adjourn until February, when they will introduce the Irish Land Bill.

The members of the House of Com mons representing the National Agricultural Union demand that the taxation on the land be lightened, also the marking of foreign produce, and State aided pensions for the workers.

The forecast of the Speech from the Throne declares that Great Britain is at peace with all nations, and re joices that peace is restored between China and Japan, but regrets the lamentable occurrence in Kucheng, of which notice has been taken by the Government. Strong reference is made to the outrages in Armenia, and the Powers jointly are pressing the Sultan for the more merciful treat ment and better government of the Christians. The speech refers to the inclusion of Bechuanaland, in Cape Colony, and, in conclusion says the estimates will be the only active business of the present session. No Bills are promised. In the House of Commons Mr John Redmond moves an amendment insist ing that the Government shall declare its Irish policy. Mr Clancey moves for the release of those convicted of dynamite out rages, '

It ■was decided to send letters of condo lence to the friends of those killed, and hoping that the Missionary Societies would not be deterred in the work of propagating Christianity in China.

New South Wales Politics.

Xlrely Procee«iisig-.«

Sydney, August 16 The Address-in-Repiy was carried on the voices in both Houses.

In the Council the Government representative contended that the question of land taxation exemptions was never submitted to the country.

Mr Crick said the proposed reform of the Council would render it abso lutely powerless for good, and would rather vote for its entire abolition, and s© leave the assembly solely responsible for the wholo legisla tion in assembly. Mr Orick charged the Premier with allowing his coJ leagues for political purposes, to vote against the introduction of Eddy's Salary Increase Bill. The Premier retorted it was a false and infamous statement. The Minister of Mines also hotly interrupted. The Speaker interposed aud said that un less the minister ceased to interrupt, and set example to the House, and ceased to defy him, he would leave the House and resign. Mr Eeid explained that he did not introduce Eddy's Bill at the Commissioners own request.

The Premier states that the new batch of Legislative Councillors would be improved by the inclusion of two or three labor members, but against his own desire he had respected the anti pathy of the Council to that element.

THE LUMPERS DISPUTE

Adelaide, August 16

It appears the arrangement of the lumpers' dispute is only temporary. The shipowners have now informed the men that their demand cannot bs cod> plied with unless modified, This must result in great harm to the country and the men themselves. The owners firmly adhere to the proposals sub mitted by them.

The many friends of Mr and Mrs George E. Kichelas, of this town, will be interested to know that they celebrated in a quiet way en familh their golden wedding day. They are colonists of nearly forty years' standing, and we con gratulate them upon this auspicious occasion and wish them continued health and prosperity.

Weed. Bennett, the celebrated billiard player, had an exhibition match at Duncan's billard room last evening—his opponent being Mr David Zander. There was a fair attendance of the public, who had no reason to regret the bestowal of their patronage, as Mr Bennett 1 * play was very brilliant. He made two big breaks, 1 of 156 and the other of 100, and his play throughout was excellent. Mr Zander's play, though, pf course, less brilliant than hia opponent, was steady and pon ; sistent, and he succeeded in beating Mr Bennett in the game, which was 1000 up, with 400 allowed to Mr Zander. Mr Bennett will play a return match to-night in the same place and on the same terms, and jthe price of admission has been very much reduced.

ONLY FOUR TO MAN THE PUMPS.

Dear, dear ! When you come to think of it how closely reUh:.i things are; how one thing brings up another. I.ias nc like a lot of beads on a string, aren't they ? A letter I have just been reading makes

I me remember what happened to me one winter about twenty years ago. The story is too long to tell here, so I'll merely give you the tail end of it. I was supercargo on a bark bouad from London to Rio. A tremendous gale, lasting five days, wrecked us. Forty-eight hours after it ceased there were four men and no more left on the vessel. The captain had been killed by a falling spar, three of the crew washed over board, and the rest of the ship's company (save us tour) went away in the long boat with the first and second mates. We were j taking in water through a leak at the rate of six inches an hour. Working with all our might the four of us could pump that out in forty minutes, but we must do it every hour. It was awful work. For two d.*y» we kept it up, without sleep. Then we stopped, took to the quarter boat and shoved off. The sea was quitt—no wind. While we lay to within a mile of her the ship threw up her nose and went down stern first. We were picked up the next Jay by a Danish brig. Now the odd thing is that the letter which reminded me of that experience has nothing whatever to say about ships. Please help me to find out the association.

The lady who writes the letter says that in July, 1881, she got a bad fright. Exactly what it was she doesn't tell. I wish she did. Anyway it so upaet her that she didn't get over the effects of it for nine years. After that her appetite fell off; she lost all real relish for food, and what she did eat only made trouble instead of nourishing her. It gave her pain in the pit of the stomach and (curiously enough) between the shoulders. She says her eyes and skin presently turned yellow as a buttercup. Her face and abdomen swelled, and her feet the aame, the latter so much so that she was obliged to have her shoes made larger. " 1 got little sleep at night," she says, "and was in so much pain I had to be propped up with pillows. For weeks together I could not lie down in bed. I had a dry, hollow cough, and bad night sweats. Then diarrhoei set in, and my bowels became ulcerated. I waß often in dreadful agony foi forty-eight hours at a time. Then I would have a chill as though a bucket of cold water were poured down my back. I got so low I could no longer sew, knit, or do any house work or look after my children. My sister had to come and help in the house.

" Everybody said I was in a decline and must die. What I suffored for eight years tongue cannot tell Tee doctor could do nothing for me. He said my complaint was complicated and bad to deal with. In 1886 I went as an outdoor patient to the Shrews bury Infirmary, bub only got transient relief."

The writer is in good health now, but why did her case remind me of the shipwreck ? Let's settle that first. The association is easy and natural. Just see. The ship sank because we four men hadn't the strength to pump out the water as fast as it came in. Twenty men might have got her into port. It ia the last straw that breaks the camel's back ; the last unaupplied need that makes poverty abject and desperate. These bodies of ours carry the seeds of disease with them all the time—chiefly the poisons created by imperfect digestion, made worse by ca/eless habits. Bat as long as nothing extraordinary happens we manage to scrape along in a half-and-half sort of fashion. Yet we've got in our blood the stuff that any of a dozen diseases is made of, only waiting for something to set ifc afire. While the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin keep us fairly free--thafc is, don't let the load get too heavy—we say, " Oh, yes, I'm tolerably well, thank you." Little pains and un pleasant symptoms bother us now and then, but we don't fancy they mean anything. By-and-by something happens. A cold, too hearty a meal, a night of dissipation, an aftliction through death or loss of property, a fright, as in Mrs Brunce's case, etc. Over we go. The last straw has crushed us. One loose spark has blown up the barrel of powder. The crew is too small to save the ship. The kidneys, liver, skin, and stomach strike work, and we must have help right away or perish. All of which means the explosion of latent indigestion and dyspepsia poisons in the blood. There! isn't it plain why I thought of the ship '! Now for the conclusion of the lady's story. She says : "In 1889 I first heard of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Half a bottle made me feol better, and by keeping on taking it I was eo<m strong and well as ever. Signed—Mrs Ann Bunce, The Park, Worthen, near Shrewsbury, February 22, 1893/'

If there were only a way to save sinking ships as certain and trustworthy as Mother Seigel's medicine is in the case of sinking human bodies, what a blessing it would be to poor sailors.

The Oiago Daily limes publishes the following paragraph :—The death ia an nouced in Newcastle, New South Wales, of Mr Shadrach J ones. Mr Jones was by profession a. surgeon, and $ very clever one, bat by nature he was i speculator. He was well known in Victoria for some years, and in 1361 he came to Otago md bought the Commercial Hotel, and subse quently leased the Provincial Hotel. To Mr Jones Otwjo owed the introduction of barmaids, the establishment of op-to-date hotels, the visit of the first All England Pleven, the firefc theatre (a converted sale yard), the establishment of Vauxhall Gardens, and a great many other things. I Ifc was he who nearly smashed the Bank of New Zealand in it.s iniant days by his overdraft, and after passing through the Bankruptcy Court, he managed to hit another bank (Commercial of New Zea land) hard with a further overdraft. Mr Shadrach Jones was a man of infinite resource, and very kind-hearted. His ideas were magnificent, but unfortunately they were not always practipable. He did Dunedin a great deal of good, but in later years he fell on evil times, and was for some tima practising as a medical man at Tapanui. Hia life, if written, would read like a romance.

During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teaspoouful at a time) and at night again took a tablespoon ful before going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptona of the cold. Since then she has on several oc casions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good results, and is much elated over her discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold.
