THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.

London. February 8 The Times states that the future conduct of the Chartered OompaDy m South Africa has been provisionally settled. Mr Rhodes returns to Bulu •wayo almost immediately. The Govern ment defer making public a statement •on the matter until the result of the trial of those connected with Dr •Jameson's party is known. Mr Chamberlain, m writing to Sir H. Robinson on the 4th, reviews the ■events occurring m the Transvaal, and states that he is aware that the -exclusive policy adopted by the Boers irritated the TJitlanders, who believed they had formidable grievances. He ihad watched the movement, and bad mot believed that a collision was likely ; therefore the invasion by Dr •Jameson came quite unexpectedly. President Kruger, he mentions, ap ipeared to be similarly ignorant. He :points out that since the convention 5n 1884, the Transvaal was internally •free, while externally subject to .{British control. There is, he says, no 'reason to anticipate foreign opposition, iand Great Britain is determined to maintain her rights m the Transvaal. The British interests m Africa justify the Imperial Government m advising the Transvaal to remedy the grievances •of the Uitlanders, who are chiefly British subjects, m regard to the franchise, finance, education, State •monopoly of labor, railway, and police. Mr Chamberlain states that be •cordially appreciates President Kruger's magnanimous conduct m the recent •difficulty, and invites him to England to discuss the details of his proposals.

IALFORD STATION. The following is tli"> mnteor'i'n-" ••' report j for the week ending Felruaiy 8, 1896 : —

The World Runs Away From Us.

The ofcher day we had a talk with a man who knew as little of the world around him as a baby. Yet he was a man of naturally fine intelligence. He had just been relieved from prison. Ten years ago he was incar j ce rated under a life sentence. Recently, however, circumstances had arisen which proved his innocence, and he obtained his freedom. But nothing seemed as before. He had been stationary while the world moved on. Many of his old friends were dead, and all were changed. A big slice of hia career was lost, and worse than lost. Could he ever make it up? No, never. Besides, although he had committed no offence, the mere fact that he had been con* victcd of one, would always place him at a disadvantage. Different as it is m all outward conditions long illness produces results which resemble those of enforced solitude. When confined to our homes by disease we are virtually : out of the world. Friends may, and do, [ pity us ; but they do not lie down by our side and suffer with us. Ah ! no. They go their own ways and leave us alone. In the midst of company we are still alone. EDJoyment, food, sleep, fresh air, movement, work, &c. — those are for them, not for us. Alas ? for rhe poor prisoner whose jailor is some relentless disease. Who shall open the iron doors and set him free ? *' I never had any rest or pleasure." So writes a man whose letter we have just finished reading. "In the early part of 1888/' he says, " a strange feeling came over me. I felt heavy, drowsy, languid, and tired. Something appeared to be wrong with me. and I couldn t account for it. I had a foul taste m the mouth, my appetite failed, and what I did eat lay on me 'like a stone. Soon I became afraid to eat as the act was always followed by pain and dis tress. Sometimes I had a sensation of chok ing m the throat as if I could not swallow. I was swollen, too, around the body, and got about with difficulty owing to increasing weakness. " At the pit of my stomach was a hungry, craving sensation, as though I needed sup port from food ; yet the little I took did not abate this feeling. My sleep waß broken, and I awoke m the morning unrefreshed. For jour years I continued m this wretched state before I found relief/ This letter is signed by Mr Charles H. Smith, of 19, New City Koad, Glasgow, and dated February 15 'h, 1893. Before we hear how he was at last de livered from the slavery of illness, let us listen to the words of a lady on the same theme : Mrs Mary Ann Ruslihg, of Station Road, Misterton, near Gainsborough. In a brief note dated January 3, 1893, Mrs Kus ling says she Buffered m a similar way for over fifteen, years. Her hands and feet were cold and clammy, and she was pale and bloodless; She had pain m the left side and palpitation, and her breathing was short > and hurried. No medicines availed to help her until two years ago. 'At that tima,' she says, 'our minister, the late Rev Mr Watson, told me of Mothe Seigel's Curative Syrup, and urged me to make a trial of it I did so, and presently felt great telief. It was not long before the bad symptoms all left me, and I gradually got strong. 1, keep m good health, and have pleasure m making kiiown to others the remedy which did so much for me." Mr Smith was complete'y cured by the same remedy, and says had he known of it sooner he would have been saved years of misery. The real ailment m both these cases was indigestion and dyspepsia, with the natural consequences. Throughout the civilised world its oourse is marked by a hundred forms of pain and suffering. Men and women are torn to pieces by it as vessels are by the rocks on which they are driven by tempests. So comprehensive and all-embrac ing is it that we may almost say that there is no other disease. It signifies life trans formed into death, bread turned into poison. Watch for its earliest signs — especially the feeling of weariness, languor, and fatigue, which announce its aproach. Prevention is better than cure. But, by the use of Mother Seigel's Cura tive i»yrup, cure is alwayg possible; and poor captives m the loathsome dungeons of illness are daily delivered as the hand of the good German nurse swings open the doors. ____„__«»_»___
