M. Olrmenceau, in an article in the Avrore, accuses M. Lebon, formerly Minibter for the THE TORTURE OF Colonies, of having DREYFUS sent the order that Captain Dreyfus should be put in irons every night. He writes :•—The torturer lahon will drag down through history a dis honored name for hav'ng, sweating from fear, added his last turn of the rack to the agonised prisoner. Du Pay de Olam had concocted the Weyler forgery in the hope, which was not mistaken, of rendering more rigor ous the treatment oi Dreyfus: For Du Paty de Clum, like the others, had need of the death of the condemned man. The '• Librp Parole " indulged in menaces and spoke of attempts at escape. Lebon, terrified, wished to avert the a.taciis of the Anti Semites and gave orders to put Dreyfus in irons. When the telegram was re- j ceived the little forge of the He du Diablo was lighted, and they under took to manufacuie as well as they could the instruments of torture. On the very first day the ankles, swollen by the pressure of the iron, became j lacerated. A Bore formed, sanioup, ; putrid, and surrounded by a circle of inflammation. Was it necessary for so little to cease the torture ? The idea did not occur to anyone. The sufferer, stoical, not complaining, but extending to the executioners his tortured legs, asked to be told at least the reason for this new torture. No reply. For two whole months every morning the irons, stained with blood, were taken off to leave exposed the terrible wounds. Then the sores were dragged, to form i the beginning of the scab which it was j proposed to destroy in the evening, j And so, indeed, it was. When the sun had set the irons were once again screwed to the bleeding flash, and the Bcab formed during the day served only by its cracks to render all the keener the pain which banished sleep. Mean while M. Lebon, delighted, watched every morning the Christian Anti- Semitic sheets, and noted with joy that he waa not attacked, Such at the end of the 19ih century is what has taken place in the French Republic, and there are some of Christ's tender lambs who are asking to begin again. In view of the amount of discussion which has taken place during the present debate as to OUR EXPORTS, whether our manu facturing industries were being helped or hindered by the legislation of the present Government, a table quoted by Mr Massey the other night is of great interest. The table in question gives the values of the principal articles exported by New Zealand, and compares the figures for 1891 and 1898, with the following results :— 1891 1898 Deo. Ino. Ale and beer £1,8C9 £1,629 £220 — Apparel ... 9,859 2,331 7,528 —■ Cordage ... 1,990 559 1,431 — Leather .. 58,112 103,838 — 45,726 Phormium.. 281,514 74 556 106,958 — Soap ... 5,067 2,434 2,633 — Woollens .. 17,347 9,634 7,713 — Obhcr kinds 44,659 58,824 — 14,165 Totftle ..£420,357 253,805 166,552 It must be remembered that the above decrease has taken place in spite of the increase of our exports cf leather, an increase which is due almost altogether to the increase in the number of flocks and herds, and to the increased number of stock in the colony ; and, notwith standing the fact that during the seven years referred to the population of the colony had increased by over 100,000 individuals. Last year the colony exported produce of the value of £10,500,000, but out of all that year's exports our manufactures contributed only £250,000, while on the other hand we imported 63,224 dozen pairs of boots and shoes valued at £122,371, though they are protected by an import duty of 22| per cent.

Under bhe distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, ab Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Exfcraot In the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils.

These article oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible :~ 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— wnich our produce, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tue presence jf acids. By bheirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypti exbraebs, are applied by mistake m cases of oroap, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., bhe con sequences are mosb appalling.
