ARBITRATION. London, July 19 In the House of Lords the Premier said negotiations with America regard ing arbitration upon international disputes, though not yet complete, were advancing amicably. The adop tion of a general principle of compul sory arbitration would be attended by some risk, and some form of appeal would be required to prevent mis carriage of justice. There was danger of speculative claims being made for the purpose of fining popularity, especially as the United States were disposed to adopt as their own, ques tions affecting South America. _ A Blue Book shows Lord Salis bury is willing to embrace un settled territory m hia general scheme of arbitration upon the Venezuela dispute, although portion of it is ,in fiide the Schomburgh line.

A STRIFE OF SHEPHERDS. Sydnky, July 20 Advices from Fiji reports that Bishop Vedal, who is at present m Europe, has been appealing to the British Government against; the administration of Sir John Thuraton, oh the ground of his partiality to the Wesleyans. Cardinal Moran thinkia it possible he has appealed against the law of the Native Council, prohibiting natives leaving their own, district without the sanction of the authorities. He regarded this law as aimed against his colleague. The Council is com prised entirely of Wesleyans. Dr Brown, head of the Wesleyan Missions here, stated that x Sir Joho Thurston is straightforward, %> but men are built nowadays, it is impossible for any man to act straight without giving offence to somebody. The Wesleyans get no more than they or any other missionaries m Fiji are entitled to.

Orange and Green.

• . r— »" ; ■■■■■; A KIOT IN HONOR OF THE TWELFTH. Melbourne, July 20 A riot on ah extensive scale occurred at ferunswick yesterday, arising in directly out of the Twelfth of July celebration. In the early part of last week, an Orange procession was pro hibited, and a good deal of ill feeling arose. A number of Orangemen proceeded m small parties to the meet ing place indicated m an advertisement inserted m Saturday's newspapers, convening a meeting of Irishmen on vacant land on the route along which the Orangemen would pass. This was called ostensibly to discuss the Irish question; bburt r scenting a row, the public, to the number of "twenty-five thousand, turned up, and a riot com menced with the approach of a drag, containing a number of Orangemen, who were mobbed and theircolours torn from their breasts. As the different parties came along, they were violently attacked with stones, knocked down, and severely maltreated. Free fights m the crowd became general; and for three hours the battle raged. Many were injured by the showers of stones, but none seriously. One woman had a narrow escape, apd was only saved by a number of men forming a circle and keeping off the mob. Fifty police were unable to cope with the mob, but a number of arrests 'were made after the rioters dispersed.

Ashburton Hounds.

_^ -♦ -- The Ashburton hounds met. at Elgin bridge on Saturday. It was a grand hunt ing day, and the attendance was good. Mr Claridge on Lewis, and Mr Leslie on Nick, were respectively huntsman and whip. The pack, which -numbered . ten couple, m fine fettle, weresejfeto work at half-past one, m a paddock on Mr D. Butteriok's farm near the mill sftream. Puss was soon found, and took l the field away a buster over a ploughad paddock, across the Seafield road, and away across country for two miles. There was plenty of wire te be negotiated, and the run gave every opportunity for testing the security nf seats. After a spin of twenty minutes pass escaped "among the crowd," for hares were phenomenally abundant, and the hounds had to be whipped off, The next paddock was full of hares, so that changes happened more than once, and after a two miles run the hounds were whipped off. Kennedy's farm was tried, but there was no find, and the creek was crossed m search of more promising ground. This was found on the irrigation farm, and away went the lot to merry music. A long tun resulted. Scent was rare and good, and pass broke away into the ' open, leading the field a fast bat for two, hours, at the end of which she was run into. But she pro vided a lot of jumping and nice hunting country. As it was now dark the field took their homeward way. Among others we noticed Mieß Haydon, of Prebbleton, on Nancy ; Miss Roberts on Skylark, Mr Wroughton on Rajah, Mr E. Roberts on Duke, Mr Digby Miller on Basper, Mr Helps »n Cheviot, Mr C W. Steward on Strephon, Mr T. Cotton, Messrs Murphy, Stephens,* and others. '-< ' mm mmm *—— ■— — — — —

ONE WORD. I \ 0 OME to you with a small aflair j »- that you may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countrie myself and wares are well known Many American families on their J return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these Confidence between man and man is | alow of growth, and when found, its I rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence, do not think it will be misplaced. f I make the best form of cure— an absolute one — for biliousness and T headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it- self, and yet its comfort to you is so great— twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes — that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as De Haydook's New Livbe Pill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price - is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try }h©m, before you purchase. DR HAYDOCK, 63 Fulton St., N.Y., NEW ZEALAND DRUG CO., ' , Ohristchurch, - ■

I h-.d bo much pain and tightness of the oaesUhat I could not endure tbe pressure of my olothinp upon it. Although no; laid up, I whs seldom free from pain or a sense of 1 discomfort. In the summer of 1893 I began to Buffer rheumatism, which affected my arms and shoulders until I had not the power to lift my hand to my head. I' tried all sorts of liniments, embrooations, and rubbirjg oils, but got no benefit from any of them. * In August, 1893, my friend, Mrs Oweo, told me how muoh cood Mother Seigel's Syi up \ had done her for rheumatism, and I got a bottle from tbe Drag Stores m S\ Ann's Eo&d. In a few dsya I was muoh better, and m less than a month' cfterwards ail pain had left me ; and I am happy to Bay £ have never 1 had any return of the rheumatism since, but have eD joyed tbe best of health m every respect. In common thankfulness for ray speedy and wonderful deliverance, I willingly consent to tbe publication of this burried statement should you wish to make that use of it. (Sgned) (Mrs) L. S. Cole, 6, Albert Road, South Totteabam, London, August 6th, 1895.' Before answering the question of my friend Bates (who was a ohronio rheumatio) I asked him : ' Why does a lighted matoh, dropped into the road, die -out harmlessly, but when dropped into a hayriok, set up a conflagration 'Any fool oan answer that he said,' 1 Because m the one oaee there is nothing for the fire to oatoh hold of, .while m the other here is.' 1 Ezaotly ' I responded. Now see. Indi- gestion and liver oompl&int (the second con- sequent on the first) continue to produce a virulent poisob m the blood oslled urio acid, prftotioally insoluble m water. Tbis aoid, which iB a solid,, enters the tissues, and sets going a hot inflammatory fire. That is rbeu matism. It doeß what a sliver would — only the aoid ia a poison sliver. * When tbe indigestion arid tbe liver trouble aie not very bad, and the kidneys and aweat glands of the skin are acting fairly well, this aoid ia carried out of the body about as fast as it is formad. Exposure then brings on no rheumatism. But, per contra, when the stomach and liver are m bad condition, the aoid forms faster than tbe kidneys and skin oan carry it off. Then expose yourself, get cold or wet, hamper the ekin and kidney b 8! ill more, and the poison aoid spreads through your musoles and jointa like the fire m the dry hay. You understand? Very well." The longer tbe cause persists the more fre- quent the rheumatic attacks, That is why chronic dyspeptics are apt also to be ohronio rheumatics. Feod off dyspepsia, or cure it by the use of Mother Beigel's Syrup, and you and the rheumatism will have no dealings. Neglect it, and Buffer every time you oatoh cold.' That was my answer to Bates, and he Bt»id there seemed to be sense m it. For Indigestion, the best remedy ia un doubtedly Norton's Camomile Pills. They can confidently be recommended as being mild m operation and absolutely free from injurious drugs. Acting at once as a splen- did tonio and a gentle aperient. ' For nearly 190 years they have proved uz.equallet' for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, sick Headache and for Liver and Stomach complaints.

— Sad. Caste of Suicide at Wheatstone. : » Yesterday forenoon, the residents on Mr Hayman's farm at Wheatstone went to morning service, leaving a young man> named John Williams ab home. He said he was going to the whare* for a moment, but might also go to service. This was towards eleven o'clock. After ■ service those who had been to churoh returned, bub Willams had not been seen. A young man went to the what c* bub found ib locked. After waiting for some time ib was deoided, as the key could not be found, to break the door open. This was done, and Williama was found m bed dead, with a gunshot wound m the mouth. He had apparently gone about the deed with all deliberation. He had taken a loaded double-barrelled gun to bed with him I , 'lain down on his back, plaoed the butt of the gun between bis feet, and the muzzle m his mouth, and so fired. Death must have been almost instanßtttneous, as , the charge had passed right through the brain of the deceased. Williams was about twenty-two years of age, and as far as can be gathered, had no reason for committing suicide. The foregoing de- tails may nob be strictly ncourhte m every particular, but the main fact is unquestion- able, and to elucidate all the circumstances an inquest was to be held to-day, details of which will be given as soon as available. WHAT JBATJRB WANTEDTO KiKOW. . ♦ — : • I Bhall be obliged if you can answer me one question, 1 said my friend Bate?, as he lay on the couoh one day m my room, nurs- ing his aohing leg. ' Why does exposure to wet or cold bring on an attack of rheumatism at one time, when a like exposure for a score, of times leads to no such re suit ? ' Before I set down m writing the answer I gave him I wish you would read the following letters, as no doubt the authors of them will be interested m the same point. 'In November, 1892,' says the one, ' I bad an attack bf rbeumaiio fever, and was oou- fined to my bed for four woekp, during whioh time I suffered fearfully. I had awful pains all over me ; my joints swelled, ani I was bo helpless I could not raise my hand to my mouth. After the fever left me I was extremely weak, and so emaciated I was little more 'hsn skin and bone. A large lamp, the size of an egg, formed on roy elbow, and my fingers were almost drawn out of joint. I cannot describe the suffering I had to bear. The dootor ordered me various medicines, and cod liver oi', but they hid no effect. In February,. 1803, I read m a email book about the remarkable Eucoess whioh had followed the use of Mother Seigel's Syrup m cases of rheumatism, and pot a bottle from Messrs Leverett and Fry, High street. After taking it two weeks I was better, and m about a month more all rheu- matic pains had left me, and I was strong and well os ever. You may publish whut I have said.
