WHERE 300,000 WIVES ARE WANTED.

Three flundrad Thousand wives is un doubtedly a pretty !arse order, but it is one whioh our Australian colonies are par' ( tieularly anxious for the mother country to fulfil , Tbe demand for life partners in tht- Antipodes is much greater than the locsf tupply J and, unless the old ooun»_ y is prepared to go to the rescue, folly 2o per ont of the malo papulation of Australia will have to fret tbeir Lvs away in tlv atateofsinileblessvdn as. For, Uking the Aus'swrnn 'Monies m the aggregate, tbeie »r* on'y 75 unmarried fern-les for every 100 unnvirriwd ma'ea In New South Wales 4one, ao3<>"'<"e tDrhftiastOtnsuß, ther« are nearly 100,000 mo c unm«irrlM mabs than unmattied females In Victoria 'he ex^s-aiauje wtrds of 73 000 ; in QaeinaUnd it is »!• moat: 57 000; in South Australia <™* 17,000 ; in Wes frn Aorr4ia, 9 000 j in Tasmania about the asine ; »"d in New Zealand a Uttle less than 44,0 C«. The consequence U that in New South Wales there are prosp ctive wives for only 78 per, centfc* tie men who may want them. T tia iTictbria the supply is a cr.fl better, namely 82 percent but in Qaeenb land it Is only 65 per cent. South Auatrali? has 85 unmar'ied fe males for every 100 unmarried males ; but in Western Australia the proportion is only 58 to each 100 Tai-mania can only show S3 per cent of possible wives, and New Zealand no more than 81 i>«r cunt. These figure* m an that altogether there are abou 308,000 Colonials who will have to die unmarried, vi.wept, and unsung unless ihe mother country sends as many of her daughtt-rs for them to w*d. % T.iere Is no reason whatever why she should iioi do this. On ihe most mode - ate computation we b^ye in England as aWy as twenty women in tv^ry hundred whoc%» never get husbands at home. If 300 000 of these could b« induced to ems«ra'e to our Au-trali* > C limes there would be no need for them to pine aw*y in solitude They would nil bo able to secure husbands before they had been in the country many mon'hs. Girls of all c'a-tses would be welcomed - for there is room ft* all-from 'he bai raa'd of th* town to the dairymaid of the country 'All are etigib'e as wives, though some may ba more s »than otbers. As the wivts of thriHy progressive Coloniststhey would be farfattercfl than as drugs in the matrimonial market at home. Here men do not marry, because theoompeiitio'i for existence is so kven that they doubb their ability tot provide for "better halves" . The reverse Is the case in the Colonies of Australasia and most other undevelop d countries, where the competition for wives is even keener than is tho etmg^le to support them in England. There comfortable homes await as mar.y daughters of the mother country as chor.se to go In search of them At the Anti podes there i* a chronic dearth of domestic servants, owing to the fact that oung women are still more io request as

wives.  i-i.ii Instances have occurred In which girls, after going out, as domestic servants, have within a few months securrd hus bands in better positions in life than the men whom the same girls had as masters. C ase distinctions 4 such aa prevail in all old countries, are of necessity very little observed in new ones, and that is certainly the case in Australia. "Come out and many us! is the cry which the young men of that, far off land are auxious t-> bring home to the esrs of the ampins women of Great Britain. It h*a been taken up by the newspapers of the Austra'ian continent, copies of which have been dispatched to 'his county with article* headed, "D.n't B^ An OM Maul —Knrgra c to Australia and Find a Hu«bat d. ' Thw is undoubtedly good advice, for In this way thousands of eligible damsels may make sure of coruforta^e, happy homes, which they can never hope for here.  , , To not afvw it would mean exchanging a life of toil and hardship for one of comparative ease en) plenty.

The Late Mrs Siddons Fright ens the Butler.

Many stories are told of the way in which the late Mrs Siddons, the famous tragic act reap, alarmed people in pri vate life.

She was visiting at the country seat of & friend. One day the butler, who was passing her tl.e butter* hastily withdrew the plate, sayipg, ' Excuse me, madam, there is a fly on the butter.' * A ly, say ye!' came in those never-to-be-forgotten tonee,' How gat be there T

Upon which the butler's wits promptly fossook him, and he began to stammer unintelligible explanations, to the vast amusement of the company;

His fate was similar to that of a meek young man who essayed conver sation with Fanny Kemble, the niece of Mrs Siddons. She also was pos sessed of a tragic manner, and tones not much below those of her aunt in their power of inspiring awe in the breasts of her listeners.

Tha unfortunate young man met the actress at Rome, and as an opening remark after his introduction eairf timidly, ' I hear you have very fine hsteli in America.'

« Sir!' was thundered at him in such a way that he almost jumped from pure fright. ' I have no hotels in America!'

Shooting Niagara.

For the tenth time within a generation Niagara . Rapids have been passed. A Chicago clerk named Bowser thought <& s uccessfui, demonstration might enable him to take passengers re gularly. His experience in the end of July, however,.changed his mind, and be no longer wishes to go himself. His boat was a queer craft, 20it long, with many air chambers, and weighing a ton. More than haif of it was in the keel to keep the ship upright. Bowser was to propel it with a bicycle-like arrangement, and was strapped to the ■eat, a precaution which turned pat to be prudent, since the boat travelled indifferently on either end or on its aide, and was submerged a gopd part of the time. The identical wave which killed Captain Webb almost ended Mr Bowser's experiment in the tfhiilpool. Cft li&ious wtth wreckage were worse than the water, which Mr Bowser says was like.a sledge hammer. In a much disbevalled condition he explained that his trip was unlike his calculation.
