Warehouses and dwellings in the vicinity were burned, and the property lose will reach 6000 dollars. The main cause of the accident was the failure of the air brakes to work. . THE LAND BTLi. Despatches of July 20th says Lord Salis bury made a complete surrender to the Unionists on the Land Bill. 'The Daily Nows says he capitulated in terms that did honor to his cynical frankness, and that the Government betrayed the Irish landlords for the sake of the Union and office. The power of the Irish Commissioners to redace judicial rents will be valid for two years, at the end of which time it is expected the purchase Bill will be in operation. The judicial rents, which but a few days before Mr Qoi*'ien said were as sacred as oar Egpvtian bonds, are to be revised or abated. Never was there a more complete surrender to the inevitable. <( If the Land Bill ” (writes a correspondent) 11 as the Government now proposes to amend it, be passed into law and fairly worked, the Coercion Act will be a dead letter, and the whole session that has been spent in passing it will, even from a Tory point of view, be voted wasted time.” Mr Parnell admits that the Bill as altered will do much towards relieving Irish tenants, herefore be heartily welcomes it, and hopes the Government will go a step further and endeavor to mitigate the hardships which would result from delaying its passage. In his place in the Commons he urged that judicial Frevisions should effect this year’s rents. . During the debate on July 21st, Mr Balfour made a statsment of tho proposed amendments. Regarding the first, he and it had been framed to prevent creditors from proceeding not against tho ordinary assets of the debtor, bat . against the tenants’ rights. Regarding the second, Government adhered to the idea that judicial rents ought to be revised, but they proposed to do what the English landload would do in a similar case. .They would adopt in a rough way the Cowper Commission’s sliding scale, which would , produce the necessary abatement. For the next < three years it was consequently proposed that the Land Court be instructed to devise a scale of remission, based solely on varying prices in different districts. The Bill does hot go smoothly ir Committee. Mr Parnell threatens to sacrifice, it unless it is amended to suit him. - Mr Balfour takes it coolly, makes a note of the fact, and leaves the responsibility for failure, should it finally occur, with his opponent, but 1 neither side really wishes the Bill to fail, j On the 28th Mr Balfour accepted Mr Mor- I ley’s suggestions, that the Government allow j a tenant one month of undisturbed possession between the service of notice and tho execution of the decree. A later passage-at-arms occurred between the Chairman, Mr Timothy Healey, and Mr De Lisle (Conservative), who was reproved as being disorderly. Mr Healey was suspended for saying to Mr De Lisle, “ Come out, De Lisle, if you are a man. If you interrupt ms again I’ll break your nook.” The House in Committee ou the Bill on July 26:11 accepted Mr Parnell’s amendment, that the tenant alone should have a right to apply to the Court to fix tho rent, the period of such application to be limited to three years. Mr Balfour made the limit two, Mr Parnell agreeing. Mr Parnell then proposed to extend the operation of the clauses to allow leases, except those in perpetuity, but this was negatived by a vote of 195 to 141. The Government amendment, extending the term to ninety-nine years, was agreed upon. In the debate on the 27th. Mr O’Doherly’s motion to limit to three years tho clause providing for written notices of evictions instead of the present method, on the ground that the provisions of the clause would only bo required till the Land Purchase Bill was passed, was not accepted. Mr Balfour said . the Government would consider favorably any amendment dealing with the interval between the service of the notice of eviction and its execution for the purpose of giving the tenant time to turn round, and prevent the appearance of harshness on the part of the landlords; THE COERCION BILL. The House of Commons went formally in a, : body to the House of Lords on the afternoon of July 19th, where the Royal assent was given to the Irish Crimes Amendment Bill, and. it was thus made the law of the Realm. The best words spoken in Parliament on thesubject were Lord Salisbury’s concluding , ones“ We trust to God for issue.” The Land League held a meeting at Cork the same day. The Mayor, Mr Sullivan, who presided, said the whole League was prepared to stand its ground, defy the Coercion Act, and take the consequences, Mr O’Reilly . declared that means to nullify the Act were ample, and the Nationalists would treat it with contempt. Tho Lord-Lieutenant presided at a meeting of the Privy Council in Dublin on July 23rd, and decided to proclaim under the Crimes Act all the counties except Antrim, which was afterwards included. Prior to this meeting a conference of Resident Magistrates was held, and it was decided to enforce the new law with firmness. Accordingly the counties of Antrim, Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford, Donegal, and Monaghan have been proclaimed, along with Dublin, Londonderry, Drogheda, Belfast, Carnckfergus, Galway, and Dublin. The proclamation surprised many. The Cabinet Council has approved the Dublin proclamation, but has postponed further application of the Act until the effect has been seen. Mr Chamberlain warned the Government that the Radicals will not support their action unless the Dublin Executive acts with mildness and discretion. The Executive advises the prosecution of Mr W. O’Brien, M.P., for inciting the people to defy the Act. PROTEST OP LIBERAL PEERS. A protest against the Irish, Crime# Act was issued on July 24th, over the signature of the Earl of Granville and twenty-eight Liberal peers, including Lord Rosebery, the Marquis of Ripon, Lord Kimberley, and Earl Spencer. The protest dsnounces the Act as a source of lasting irritation and bi.tred and of mistrust of the law, and declares that the measure relieves Irishmen of individual rights, and stimulates the growth of secret societies,

A WOMAN'S SUFFERINGS AND GRATITUDE, ', A VOICB FROM AUBTBIA. Near the village of Z.llingdorf, in Lower Austria, Uvea Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as rolated by herself, is of interest to English women. - " I was employed," Bhe says, "in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on siok Headache, followed by a deathly fainting and eicknesß of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do Borne work, but was soon taken with a pain in my side, which in a litcle while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until finally I oould not bow, and I took to my bed for the seoond, and, as I thought, for the last time. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I oould cot live longer than when the trees put on their green onoe morel Then I happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel'a Syrup, whioh I took exactly according to the directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a great change for tho better. My last illness began June 3ra, 1882, and continued to August 9th, when I began to take the Syrup Very Boon I could do a little light work The cough left me, and I was no more troubled in breathing. . Now I am perfectly cured. And oh, how happy I am! I cannot expreis gratitude enough for Seigel'a Syrup. Now I must cell you that the doctors in our distriot distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine, telling thorn it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, wherever one is to be found, it ib kept like a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around our district. People have oome eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it oured me, and to be sure to get tho right kind. I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that she had consulted several dootors, but none oould help her. I told her of Seigel'e Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Byrup, and now she is in perfeot health, and the people around us are amazed. The medicine has made auoh progress in our neighborhood that people say they don't want tho doctor any more, but they take the Syrup: Sufferers from gout, who were oonfined to their bed and could hardly move a finger, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our distriot who caught a eold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with oostiveneas and rheumatio pains, and had to have an attendant to watoh her. There was not a doctor in the surrounding distriot to whom her mother had not applied to. relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could not help her. Whenever the little bell rang, whioh is rnng in our place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, but Seigel'a Syrup and Fills saved her life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to ohuroh, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her put, knowing how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for God's mercies and Seigel'a Syrup." , Mabia Haas. The reo-lo of England speak confirming the above. AMERMAHITBABS. " Whittle-le- Woods, near Chorley, " December 26th, 1883. . "Dear Sir, —Mother Seigel'a medicine sells exceoding well with us, all that try it speak highly in its favor. We had a case of a young lady that had been -troubled many yean with pains after eating. She tells us that the pains were entirely taken away after a few doses of your medicine.—Yours truly, "E.Pbeh." Poor Asthma sufferers, who are strangers to "tired Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," should make use of "The Rosingweed Tar Mixture." Quiet refreshing sleep will follow its use.
