VICTORIAK REVENUE. ] Melbourne. March 9 ' The revenue of the colony for eight months shows a decrease of £220,000 as compared with the corresponding period last year. The Premier is hopeful, however, that the whole year will realise his estimated surplus. THE REJECTED BILLS. The Government intend to submit the Bills thrown out by the Legislative Council early next session at the stage where the deadlock between the two Houses occurred. They will also rein troduce the Jha'p Money Bill. BIOH REEFS. Perih. March 9 The latest crushings from the Little Wonder mine, Mount Malcolm, show that half a ton from the surf-ce yielded 9700z of gold, half a cwt from a 70ft depth 4230z, 23cwt from a 90ft depth 1810oz, 48cwt from a 150 ft depth 2500z A MINISTERIAL CRISIS. For a long time past it has been aD open secret that friction existed among the members of the Cabinet owing to the disorganisation of the public departments. These strained relations were intensified by a Cabinet meeting held at the end of laßt week. Sir J. Forrest stroDgly urged the necessity of remedying the evils loudly complained of, but Mr Venn, Minister of Public Works, and Mr Wittenoom, Minister of Mines, resented the Premier's inter ference with the management of their departments. Sir J. Forrest main tained that he was responsible for the i Government, and that m face of the public outcry it was his duty to inter fere. Yesterday the Premier had a long interview with the Governor, and discussed the position. He suggested tbat he should tender his resignation for the purpose of forming another Ministry. The Governor asked time to consider.

He was sure of it.

A little five year-old lad recently said to his father, "Tommy Brown is going to have anew bicycle." "Ah 1 my boy," replied the father "but Tommy's father sursly cannot afford such an expense. What makes you think so ? " "Oh ! bnt I'm sure he is going to have it because his brother said so, and he knows." Happy boy. The father could say no more. He did not like to teach Mb boy his first lesson of unbelief. He did not like to tell him that people m this world sometimes make exaggerated or false statements; that m deciding upon all questions one must cultivate that penetia tion which enables one to discern the wheat from the chaff. So he smiled and said noth ing. But the time will come for the lad, as it already has to as, when he must sif t and decide for himself the good from the bad ; the truth from the untruth. We soon learn chat m conversation things are often-times hastily and thoughtlessly said that m a moment are regretted, or that would not have been said m a more quiet and thought ful mood. The only statements that the financial world, m fact the general public, rely upon, are those written and attested m a manner which can be verified and brought home to the writer, and this is why they carry conviction to every reader. Mr J. N. Hoffmann, Barcaldine, Queensland, made the following written statement, which he knows to be accurate and which can be easily verified. It will in' crest every reader, and thia is our reason for publishing it. He says : " During my service m India m the Army, I contracted a cod which brought on kidney disease, aiad having been unsuccessfully treated for it m the Calcutta Hospital, 1 came over to Australia, thinking change of climate might suit me, but m Queensland my old trouble came on again. A friend induced me to try Warner's f-'afn Cure, and after iisicg a couple of bot! lrs I found a great improvement m my health, and ihe use of eighc bottles completed my cure. This was four years ago, and I have had no return of my complaint/

The Italians m Abyssinia

Rome, M:irch 9 The riots throughout the country continue. The Marqois de Eudini succeeds Signor Crispi. Tho Italian garrison will evacuate Kassala. The latest news is to the effect that the troops m Adigrat have a month's provisions and ammunition. The Italian losses m the recent engagements include 7000 white troops, 1,000,000 rifle and 5000 artillery cartridges, 5000 mules and 10,000 rifles. The Shoas killed the wounded native fvlJies of the Italians, amputating their limbs and otherwise mutilating their bodies. It is feared that Italy will be com pelled to retire from the Triple jMliaiup, owing to her shattered condition. St Petersburg, March 9 The Russian newspapers are col lecting funds for the relief of the Abyssinians wounded m the recent] engagements with the Italians.
