Sydney, June 26

According to a correspondent, Mafe king took its relief coolly, and the following incident is related as being characteristic of the town :—

When the Imperial Light Hone entered the town it was too dark to tell who they were. One man stopped a passer-by and said, " Hi, we are the relief column of the Imperial Light Horse." " Oh, indeed," said the citizen, " we heard you were outside," and the man proceeded on his errand, which was to draw rations. " Well I'm d d," said the trooper, "he take* it pretty coolly." A. crowd, however, gradually gathered, and cheered lustily. On the Friday morn ing the garrison paraded round the cemetery, and paid a last good-bye to the comrades lying in the little stone walled graveyard.

Particulars of the Voyage

By Sir George Newnes,

Sydney, June 25

On March 12th, Borcbgrevinck with Bernachi, moved from camp and scaled Dap* Adare to a height of 3670 feet. At the top vegetation was found of the game kind as was found on the lower rocks in 1894. From this until the end of April the days were spent in daily meteorological observations and in magnetic work, Members of the staff daily returned to camp with ears, note, cheeks, hands, and feet frozen. The thermometer on May 16th regis tered 25deg. below zero. As an inter esting biological fact Borchgrevinck mentions that six puppies born at this time seemed to do well under the snow. The darkness and silence, says Botch grevinck, weighted heavily on one's mind, and the party seemed to be experiencing centuries of heaped up solitude.

TRAIN ACCIDENT.

A Ti^am Resident Killed.

United Pre^a Association—By Electric Telegraph

Dpnedin, June 25 While Thomas V. Dalgleish, one of the proprietors of the Timaru Woollen Mills was in the act of passing from the dining oar to another on the express sfter leaving Pa'mers ten last night, he missed his footing and MI. '"hree oars and the van passed over him. When picked up, it wa^ found fehak bath legs were crushed and that he had sustained severe internal injuries. He was then alive bub soon suoonmbed. Instead of using the usual platform he attempted to orosa by means of the step, falling between the carriages. He got on to the dining car by mistake, and was endeavoring to renoh his own oar.

The Timarn Msrning Fost lays:—Mr Dalgleish was a man well known In South Canterbury in connection with the Woollen Mills, and his untimely death will come as a great shook, not only to his wife and family, but also to & very large circle of friends, for he was a man who was as greatly respected as he was widely known. Mr Dalgleiih oama to Timarn some few years ago, and his business in the Woollen Mills has occupied his attention ever since that time. In com* mercial circlet he was a man highly thought of, as ail those who have transacted business with him have reason to' know, for it was here chiefly that hia sterling qualities were manifested, and his partners in the Woollen i Mills (two of whom are at present absent on a trip to the Home Land) will lose a valued co-worker and friend. The Caledonian Society will also be a loser by his untimely death. Last year Mr Datgleish held the position of Vice-President of the Caledonian Society, and as recently as Mond»y, the 18th insr., when the Society held their annual meeting, he was pressed to take the position of President. This, however, he declined to do, and so was re elected Vioe- President. By his death the Society will lose one of their most able supporters, and one thing is certain, and that is that his wife and family will have the sympathy of an extended circle of friends in their sad bereavement.

GREENSTREET.

From Onr Own Correspondent

The anonal social and ball given by Mr J W Oliver and his threshing staff came off at Greenstreet on tha night of Friday lasb. The men have just finished threshing 132,000 bushels of grain. Their spirited good heartednesa In treating their friends to a ball entitled them to the company of the ladies aa partners to dance with, and this they obtained. From among the number your cerreßpondenb waa able to Beleob a " belle " capable of dancing the Highland Schottißche with true national gracefulness. A time waa when Irish and Scotch dances, to bagvipe tnasio, were fashloaat le at Green street, and it is to be hoped that the shamrocks and thistles will unite be fore long and spend one night practising their national dances lesb they forget them altogether. At country entertainments an important item is to have good refreshments, and plenty of them ; the tables attended by ladies who know their business and are pleasant. The peripatetic lives led by thresh ing men when they are out make them first' clues judges of all matters of a commissariat nature, hence they know how to load their supper tables with abundance of choice viands, The table* were in charge of Mrs Clark and Mrs Kqox; two ladies who thoroughly knew their business, and gave satisfaction bo every guest present. Excel lent music was supplied by Mr Anderson, assisted occaaionally by one of the threshing staff. Mr I. Hyde Bang two son&e, danced several hornpipes, a jig, and the sword dance; hia performances created great merriment Mr Byrne sang "It Never Troubles Me " j he was encored and sang, " Arra Go On," In addition to the songs, Mr Byrne dittoed the Sailors Hornptpe in good style. Great disappointment wa» expressed at the absence of half a dozjn of Mr Sargent's family, who usbd to attend the aooial meet ings. Only two of the young ladies were able to attend on this occasion. Mr Trumper made an excellent M.O. He proposed, and subscribed towards getting framed the pictures of our best Gsnerals, which are now ! on view in the schoolroom. When the time arrived for the party to break up, Mr Trumper spoke in complimentary terms of Mr Oliver and his staff, and proposed a vote of thanks to them on behalf of the other guests and himself, The vote of thanks wait carried by acclamation, followed by three chetrs, and these were in turn followed by "They Are Jolly Good Fellows," *c. Mr Oliver replied in suitable terms, and proposed three cheers for the ladies. The whole company, eighty in all, joined in singing " Auld L>ng Syne," which brought a very pleasant night's enjoyment to a close.

A Coachman's Story.

"Rheumatism," said a leading physxian nob long since, " may attack anybody, bat; Is especially the diseasQ of age and poverty, The immt diale cause is an irritant poison In the blood, which, becoming lodged in those parts of the t-yattm where the circu kit lon has the le*st..forca, sets up a more or less violent ii,fl unm .tion, This poison is always associated with in?p»ireddigeation on the part of the stomach and liver, and the Bmount of itin the system is increased by the Inactivity of the excretive organs, particularly the ekin, bowele, and kidne] s,' Assuming the correctness of Ihis view, the following conclusion is clearly de ducible from it, namely, that to relieve or cure a case of rheumatism we should seek, first, to psevent the formation of the pofson by correcting the impaired digestion, and. second, to stimulate the skin, bowels, and kidneys, that they may throw it off; or, in other words, we must try to parity the blood. Outward applications, although they may, and do, mollify pain at certain inflamed spots, cannot, in the nature of things, eradicate the cause of the disease. Ihe following case illustrates the truth of this thao*y, and should be attentively studied by all who are afflicted with goub and rheumatism —the two ailments being, under different names, practically the same thing. ''Sixteen years ago I had an attack of rheumatic gout which affected all my joints, giving me Intense pain. My hands, feet, and shoulders were puffed up and swollen, and fcr many weeks I suffered martyrdom. Afcer this I was from time to time subject to rheumatism, which moved about my system, sometimes ap pearing in one parb and then another. For five years I suffered tike this. " In the autumn of 1885, whilst in the employment of a doctor at Bayawater as coachman, my eyes became affected and I was almoat blind, not being able to see either the numbers or names of the streets I drove along. My eyes were like a piece of liver, and the doctor I was with sent me first to an eye specialist, and afterwards gave me a not*, and I went to St. Mary's Hospital, Faddington, where I attended as an outdoor patient for nine months. 111 was so bad I had to give up my cmi ploy men t. The doctors at the hospita made a thorough examination of my eyes, and ea'd they were sound, and that my affection was caused by the rheumatic gout. They gave me medicines and drops for the eyes; also placed blisters behind the ears and on the temples, but I was little better for anything, "Some daya I was better and then worse, and I feared I should lose my sight altogether. In July, 1886, my brother came to London on a visit, and urged me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, as he thought ib would drive the rheumatism oub of my system. I gob a bottle of this medicine from Whiteley's in Westbourne Grove, and after taking two bottles I was wonderfully better. My sight returned, and I felt better of myself. When I had taken six bottles I was ivell as ever, and Iwve since been well. You can publish this letter, and refer anyone to me. (Signed) Joseph Parker, 21, Blomfield Street, Westbourne Square, Bayswater, July lsb, 1896." Mr Parker is a respactable man and worthy of implicit confidence. He is now in the employment of Mr Whiteley, the famous purveyor, of whom he bought Mother Siegel s Syrup in the time of his necessity. The cure Is certainly remark able, and demonstrates the truth of the proposition, now admitted by the highest medical authorities, that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused, at the root of ib, by chronic dyspepsia and indigestion. Mother Seigel's Syrup, being the most successful medicine in the world for all ailments of the digestion, consequently prevents the further formation of the rheumatic poison, expels it frem all places where It his produced inflammation in the body, and hence cures r7mimatism- The reader will note thab it ia now ten years slnoe Mr Parker's recovery, during which period he has had no relapse. Therefore the cure war real and radical.
