A Colonial at Home.

Captain Suttoi, evil HE for Gladstone, who loturncd by {he Kaikoma, has been giving the Tiinaru Heiald his impassions of the Old Countiy, Ho said mtei aha *-Ono rcroakable thiug tlint upon my mind in land was thatJ^|^^^^HKces poverty well, but dressed ,« their and look as if Although', *' the latefl of wages paid to thesoclasses' aie lone" than in this colony, cheap rents, cheap food, cheap clothing, els,, raoie than compensate foi the low wages paid, As an instance of this, m Oxford street, London, a bespokp suit of men's wearing appaicl may be c obtained foi L2los, the cost of which would be J>6los )n the colonies The wages aio lowei, but the money goes further. Theie is also a leu scanty > ofemployniont in the laige cities fa England and Scotland thanmNew* Zealand, as there are so many outlets for labor, and if employment is not \s-' obtainable at ono thing it can bo „' \ obtained at bomething else, In this respect, no comparison can bo drawn -^ V > between -the Home cities and v J V countries like the colonies, As an in-- <&. >"' stance of the cheapness of food in' "L % | Scotland, at Aberdeen four haddocks - each larger than the largest hering ," -f to be bad in the colonies) are sol M** * '$ * \ one penny.

Cheap freights allow such an" article to be imported, and it is turned to commercial value at once. Other imports are sold equally cheap ■ owing to cheap freights, kerosene aelling at IJd per quart bottle retail.

■": and all the large cities, concrete pave- :'.'-!-- ments are used, with stone kerbing ' and channelling. The joncretp is put ' down in small blocks a little distance ' apart with small pirces of wood lying between. The wo id between the blocks rapidly decuys, but while it lasts it permits the air to escape, and prevents tho blocks of concrete from cracking. "When the wood decays, • and the blocks are thoroughly " se<t- , soned" the crevices between each aro L filled with sand, etc., and the footpaths will enduio for ages, In Strathpeffer district Captain *' Sutter saw a large number of crofters of whom so much had been said and written, He failed to nolico any f-'o' signs amongst them of distress or il* poverty, and heard no complaining, '■ ' When he spoke to somo of them . about emigrating to New Zealand, they replied promptly that they wore perfectly satisfied where they were;.and said " Let the young people emigrate if they have a mind to." Although this was tho case at StrathpclTer, there was no doubt great and considerable distress existed in Stornaway and tho Lewis Islands, caused by the failure of tho herring Ming; but these people were illsuited to emigrate to a Colony like New Zealand, as thoy were all fishermen—not farmers or likely to prove profitable settlers, Captain Sutler did not visit Stornaway and Lewis ' Islands but theso were, the conclusions he formed after making enquiry.

1 CATHARTICS. Many people, and rightly too in many instances, believe that the use of carthartics is harmful, and that if once commenced they must always he continued, Such are not.the facts, however, so far as Warner's safe pills are concerned. They are vory gentlo in action, do not gripe, aie entirely vegetable, and can be w l, taken without discomfort, being ■ '- J . sugar-coated. These pills aie especially prepared to act in conjunction with Warnor's safe cure and other safe remedies, and other pills will not answer as well. In fact, other cath- . artics might entirely neutralize the good effects of the liquid safe reine- '■ dies. As soon as Warner's safe cure and safe pills have removed the waste water from the blood, and restored the liver and kidneys to natural action, nature will supply the needed . carthatic, bile, in sufficient quanJttity, and the use of the pills can be * discontinued. Unless the bowels i; move at least once a day, nature should ; : bo aided by the safe pills, as without the eomtant action of the livev in a hot climate ill health must soon result, ' Many evil effects follow constipation, such as ("piles, headache, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, etc, all indicating that the blood is being poisoned with waste matter. Messrs

Warnor & Co, have thousands of - 1 ■ testimonies from ladies and gentle- • • men stating tbo great good they have : derived from the use of Warner's ;. ' safe pills. Thoy aro especially adapted to -women, and universally used by them. Be sure and get the ■ . genuino wbich always bear-a picture of an iron safe on the oulsido of the wrapper, This caution is not amiss •'■'•*■ when purchasing any of Warner's safe remedies—always look for tho trade-mark, a picture of an iron safe Jfou the wrapper, - - — —
