Wairen Bardeley, tho best left-hand batsman in the world, reached Premantlo by the last week, Ho was the last playei of the Australian eleven to return to Australia, having remained bohind m England after the other members of tho team had left for America. Of vourse, ho was met by a newspaper man, whom he informed that the Australian elovGii had been a vor) good bide. Tho wason had been phenomenally wet, and good play was mostly nut of tho question, but for all Iheir mistakes, if tho Austiahans had won tho toss in tho last test, they would have brought lack the ashes fiom England. Ho did not claim that the Australians were bottjr than the Hnglishmcn; he even thought they weic not quite so (rood as the South Amount. Bardsley refused to say anything with regard to the troublo amongst tho momlwrs of the Australian cloven. So far as ho Itnew they wcie a hnppy family throughout tho English tour. Ho denied that nny ill-tempor had been shown on tho field in England, and stated that tho man win mado that statement was a lunatic • ■ \ Enflißh aotors apparently never become millionaires, if inferences are to t ba drawn from a newspaper paragraph whioh enjs that tho estate of an English actor rccentl) deceased amounted to it-1,056, and that this is "tho largest theatrical estate left sinoo that of Toolo, the famous comedian, iwhich amounted to J7!),08l." Perlmpi American actors are moro fortunate; at any into, wo nolioo that tho widoi\ of an AmeJcnn actor has just left JC15,000 to the Soncty for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which plnces her quite in the class of some millionaires so far us charitable bequests arc concerned. A wieo book has said that our safety doth dwell In councillors many, Wo think 'twould be noil, / it iii this oosß at least on exception wo make; And all cheap advice once for all wo forliake. For there is a remedy steading alono, Its vutuo unrivalled and questioned by none, i So when jour kind friends with vilo nos- » i mils allure, Don't Iwil them, but toko Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. 105*.
