HARD EXPERIENCE OF THE

CREW.

PER MtESS ASSOCIATION

Sydney, September 7 Details of the. abandonment of the Flora Stafford show that she had a cargo of 1900 tons of Seaham coal, which caught fire on June 6 m mid ocean. The flames gained rapidly, and the ship had to be abandon^ two days after. The crew got away m three boats. They were separated by a typhoon, and the Captain's boat, con taining six men, after much suffering, made for the island of Papua, but the natives were hostile, and 4?ove them off with spears. They made for anither island and sent two men ashore. 1 h.e boat hung off the coast for five days, but the men failed to return, and it is feared both were killed. The castaways could get no provisions, but finally reached the island of Mento, where they were kindly received and forwarded to Manila. The second boat, with the boatswain and six men, were driven ashore on the island of Surigao, and finally reached Manila safely. The third boat, containing the other four of the crew, is still missing.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,— We have six candidates for the office of councillors for the Borough of Ashburton, viz : — G. W. Andrews, W. H. Collins, Henry Davis, John Orr, E. J. Paul, J. H. Pauling, John Wilson. Now, air, these seven wise men will do their best to outdo each other m the nu-nber of votes they can poll, so as to get elected ; and I think it would have been better if each candidate had addressed the electors, and given them" some idea as to their views on municipal matters, so as to have enabled them to choose the best men to represent them. But as the election comes off on Thursday next, ani time will not allow of this being done, I would suggest, as the next best! thing, that these seven wise men meet together and mutually agree to do the following — that is, take the games of the candidates as they appear m the Qtjardian, and strike out one name from the top and one from the bottom of the list, until they have three left, tha^ being the number, of pouncillors required, and let these three be the elected councillors, viz : — Hqnry Davis, John prr, and E. J. Paul. Bj doing $his. they will save themselves a lot of anxiety, bickerings, and unpleasantness j and the burgessess ought to be satisfied, as there will still be two sinners to one publican, and all parties will be fairly represented, Besides, the voters will escape a lot of worry ana annoyance, let alone the risk of breaking their necks clambering up and tumbling down the Council stairs to vote. As the candidates have deprived us of the fun of listening to their Bpeeches, and the cross questions and crooked auswers that follow, I think it is only fair that they should fall m with these views, and spare the burgesses as much hubbub and turmoil as possible. — I am, etc., Fair Play.

Th« team passed wt»'l and unsoltishly, and if th^y piny ihweaiue sort of game on Thursday next against t he Star, they wjll more than hold their own. The forwards « n both sides worked well, dad _ Williams, Dart, i'rioe, and Harvey been' able to take parb m the match for the District t«am, the result might; have been different. Considering the state of Llw weather, there was a good attwndai.oe of t.he public to witness the match. The teams are to have a return match on Thursday week, 17th inst,,, when both expect to be horuughly representative. A record a' tendance of the pabltc is expected that day.

OTAGO v. AUCKLAND.

Auckland, September 5 „

The int^roroviucial fiobball match, Otago v Auckland, ti'ok p'aca to-d>iy at Potter's Paddock, when 5000 persons were present. Ie ended m a victory for the visitors by eight points to nil. Mr A. 0. Campbell, of Wellington, was referee, a.d gave fair satisfaction. The visitors were captained by Duncan, and Wynyard captained the home team. In the first spell McLaren soored a try for Otago, and Mason converted. In' the second half of the game* strong rushes took "place on both aide-), and eventually Davis g t the ball, and transferred to Duncan, who sent lfc to Woods, who was c 'Hired about fifteen yards from the line, but managed to p si to Siephe.iscn, who scored the second try for Ot ago. JNo further score took placo, and the gaino resulted as above ihe whole, the visitors had the best of the game throughout, their forwards m particular showing more dash than Auckland.

WE MUST HAVE THE TOOLS

Robinson Crusoe, you remember, made a big boat or canoe out of the trunk of a free. It was a laborious and , tedious job. 'And that wasn't the ,worst of it. When he got the boat done he couldn't launch it. It was too heavy for one man to handle. If he had only had an arrangement Ike the capstan of a ship he might hive managed. He under stood how to do it, but lacked the tooh. How often we find ourßelves at a dead stand for that same reason. Let me give you a fresh illustration, tied up fe.r the moment m the following letter, which must be read .before we can rightly oonie at the point. . lln the h Tiring of 188+,' says our corres pondent • I got into a low weak way, not being able to imagine what had happened to me. My strength kept ebbing away i ill I had scarcely the desire or ab lity to do anything. I felt, as tired as if I had just arrived home from a long, hard journey, yet no tax more than usual of any kind had been laid upon me. My mind, too, was weary ; so that I turned from things that obliged me to think, plan, or consider. 'Side by side, so to speak, with all this was the failure of my appetite. Of oouise I continued to eat, or make an effort to eat, but food no longer tempted me a=» it does a person m health. I picked and minced over my .meals, and the little I took neither tasted good nor did me any good after I had eaten it. Instead ot warming, comforting and stimulating me, as it used to do, it gave me distress at the stomach, pnin at the chest, and a singular feeling of tightness around the waist, as though a belt was buckled too snug around me,

* After a time the condition of my stomach seemed to grow worse. There was that sense of gnawing, so often mentioned by others, and occasionally a feeling of faint ness and sinking, almost like the ground giving way undor one's feet. 1

[Remark : An eminent London physician, m one of his books, describes this sinking feeling as one of the most appalling and frightful thit it is possible to experience. It is not the body but the mind that suffers. I, the present writer, have had two attacks of it, and pray to have no more. It is like unto the overshadowing of the Death Angel's wing, with the mind fully conscious of the situation. This cause is uric acid poison m the blood, one of the products of prolonged indigestion.] . ■

'When this sinking feeling came on,' continues the letter, 'it weighed me down, like a nightmare. Finally I got to be so weak I could only walk slowly and feebly. The doctor who prescribed for me said my complaint was dyspepsia, but his medicine had'no perceptible effect. 'I continued like this fqr eight yeare 3 not always the same, hut now better and then worse, "^et m all that lqag time there was not a day when I could say that J was well. No medicine or treatment x seemed right for me, an,d I almost hegaji to think J never should recover my former heajth. *In March, }81U, Mother Sejgel's Syrup was recommended iq me a* having done wonders m cases like mine, even when they were of long standing and everything else had failed. No harm to try it, we thought, and got a bottle from Mr Grime, the chemist inßolton Road] and after taking it I felt great relief, My appetite quickly improved and I could eat without pain. When I had taken two or three bottles more the bad symptoms had all gone, aud I was as well as ever. My husband also took the medicine with the same good results, you may publish my letter and refer enquirers to me (Signed) (Mrs) Elizabeth Wilson, 5,-North cote Street, Bolton Road. Darwen. March Ist, 1895. 1

■■ The lesson m this interesting narrative is too plain for us to migs it. Oar old friend Crusoe was notable to launch his boat for the want of machinery. Similarly the doctor who attended Mrs Wilson was not able to cure her because he did not possess the r^ght 'remedy. Hfia opjniftn as to her complaint was eßtire'y correct. She was suffering from chronic dyspepsia, precisely an ho told hpr, But alas !'it 'ia one thing to know what ought to be done and quite another to have the knowledge and means to doit. .

Between thebe two things (over this wide gap) stands Mother Seigel's Syrup, just as between the two sides of the Thames stands London Bridge. •'*
