— : 4- ■-, The followinjt is a brief account of on tdfeßtorons walk across tbe entire continent of Austxelia, which has jast been torn pie lei by Mr George Ernest Morneon, a eon of the principal pf tbe Gcslong College, and whn haa just besn despatched by tlie Meiboarne Age to New Guine« forexplorfttion purposes. He sfart-4 from the Gulf of Carpentaria, leaving! Normtnton the we-k before Christmas After paßßme Cloncnvry, be follow -d the coorsea of tbe D?an>«^tii<)a and tho Thompson, striking the Eullco a< Th«»|{omind«'i. and the Parco ,at Ho&gerford, Following Ibe Parco through a country inundated by the , enormoni r^infeM that rberacterisi"! this ressoli, he encountered the most ! dnf erotts part of his route, having far ] nearly 330 milei to wade almoat daily consideraMe distances, and to swim swollen creeks. He crossed the Darling af- Wil- , ' ca&nia, tbf Liohlan at Booligan, the Murrnmbidnee at Hay; and the river Murray at Eehnca. The whole distance traversed from the Golf of Carpentaria to Melbourne exceeded 2,000 miles, and this was covered in 120 days. Passing through , uninhabited wastes, where sometimes in terrals of over 100 miles intervened be* tween human habitations, lie had to carry • •wig with provisions and apparatus for cooking, and this of course, materially impeded his rate of travelling. He had to .carry a supply of water in tome part of his route, where water could only be . found at very long intervals. Part of his 1 way led through a district inhabited by hostile blacks. During the last 10 years the number of, post-offices in Victoria has been increased by nearly. 600, and during the name period the number of letters which have passed through the post-office has increased from 13,000,000 in 1872, to ' nearly 29.000,000 in 1882. The Bishop of Melbourne sees in tbe young of Australia a great deal of good . feeling a«d of intellectual brightness, and, a readinese to learn if only people will teach pleasantly. At the same time a certain superficiality of, feeling, a certain crafty sharpness, a certain irreverence— both want of reverence for elders and the American tendency to turn the deepest .feelinga and the loftiest thoughts of our nature into burlesque. 'v XoflOWay'B Pillfl.—Nothing preserves the health su> well as an occasional altjpttive in changes of wsatber, or when the nerves are unstrung. These .Bills-act admirably on .the stomach, liver, and kidneys, and so thoroughly purify the blood, that they are tb« moat efficient remedy in warding off derange ments of tbe stomach, fever, diarrhoea, dysentry, and •tbor maladies, and giving tone an energy to debilitated qondtttutions.
