Qist, 1886‘ Pain cannot exist after the patient has taken a single dose of \Vest’s' Pain King, the magic cure. Do not be induced to take a substitute, but insist; upon having West’s Pain King. Genuine sold by all druggists. After the time of Tasman it was narâ€" Qially explore}! by the wal Known Captain Cook, and taken possession of by Eng- land. In 1803 it became a. penal Colony, and then there reigned for nearly a half century a succession of “Dark Days” sel- dom experienced by any young country. Men and women guilty ofi the blackest crimes were transported here for the term of their natural lives, and with them were sent hundreds guilty of minor 0f- fences, who had to serve a term of years and then secure their freedom once more. 'Wheu I state the number of convicts on this island before the pernicious system was abolished, it will doubtless surprise a. great many: from reliable statistics I tind that about the year 1847 there were in Van Dieman’s Land 40,000 convicts. Men of the most hardened natures ‘xwere placed as officers over the plisoners, who. were forced to work unceasingly with but scanty nations. and with no hope of ever receiving anything for their work but ill- treatment. 1 have met many a man, who, himself an ex-convict, has told me of uncalled for cruelties to thl,‘ poor wretches. who were by far worse treated than the slaves in the Southern States ‘ previous to the rebellion there. It sometimes occurred that people were transported for oneness of which they were perfecth innocent, and notwithâ€" standing their expostulatione were forced to mingle with the most hardened crim- inals, and often subjected to the triangle and “cat” for neglecting to touch their hats to an officer, or some such breach of the law equally trifling.

The convicts were expected to work from daylight till dark, and some of the best roads in the world have been built by the prisoners in Van Dieman’s Land. It would take too much space were I to enlarge on their treatment, or describe minutely some of the establishâ€" ments I have seen, but to those who feel interested I would strongly recommend the perusal of a tale by Marcus Clarke, called “ For the term of his natural life.” This book stands in somewhat the same relation to convictism here, as “Uncle Tom’s Cabin ” to slavery in America. Happily for this beautiful Colony the system exists here no longer, although it will be many a year before the painful results will cease to exist. There are at present a great number of people living who were given a free passport to this country. although as a rule they are not anxioas to let people know that the Queen paid their fare. A number of these ex-oonviets are holding responsible positions, I havmg recently met several who are now members of parliament in this Colony. 1 find it very impolitic to enquire Into the past history of any per- son, unless previously assured. that they were not transported. Occasionally in my ramblings 1 drop across a person can- did enough to state who they were “lagâ€" ged out,” although they invariably try to mitigate the enormity of their crimes. SEPT. 23, 1886. The present population of the Colony is about 130,000. There are two cities, Hobart, the capital, at the south, with a population of 30,000, and Launceston, at the north, on the Tamar, about 40 miles {mm the sea, With a population of 17,â€" 000. Regular vessely ply between these ports and intercolonial towns, and some ocean steamers call at Hobart on their way to and from New Zealand. I left Melbourne in the ’l‘asmanian Steam Navâ€" igation Companys’ S. S. Pateena for Launceston, and I shall never forget the voyage. Immediately after clearing Port Phillip heads we encountered a rough sea and the staunch little steamer began ‘ to roll considerably. One by one the passengers With reluctance bccame very sick. 1 had crossed the broad Pacific and had escaped seasickness, and I thought if 1 could not manage to cross lass Etrait \uthout being afllicted with "wal-do-mer” I ought to be ashamed of myself. At last I was the only one on deck, except two sailors, when a squall struck us, and that finished me. 0h ! the miseries of that night ! How I long- ed that the steamer would strike a rock and sink l Well, next day the sea was calmer, and befoie noon we had entered the mouth of the Tamar, and at 2 D. m. I stopped. for the first time on Tasmanian soil, at Launceston. Launceston is a picturesque little city surrounded by high hills, from whose lofty summits can be obtained excellent birdsAeye views of the city, as well as the winding river which is formed by the union of the North Esk and South Esk. I found the Tasmanians very kind and hospitable, and anxious to show me the sights of the place, and will- ing to give me any information that would be interesting to one coming from such a. distant and cold country as Can- ada.

Next come the militant sons of Tem- perance, eager to sweep saloon, brewery and distillery from the face of the beautiful earth, as stern toes of liquor dealers and about as merciful to them as were the adherents of Lieut. Shaddai in the memorable victory of Manson], when the followers of Dizibolus were routed so completely and suil'ered so severely for their misdeeds. It is related that when someone told King CeteWayo of the unâ€" told misery caused by strong drink, he expressed himself surprised that the pow- ful British Government did not suppress the distilleries and breweries.

A very good resolve say I, all classes require to be fully represented and. by representative men. A professional man may be honest and sincere, and yet not efliciently reprev sent a farming or artisan community, for the Simple reason that his training leads him to view things from a totally foreign point of View. The evil effects of this is seen on whichever side we turn in the many forms of political uneasiness prevaâ€" lent, arising from iniquitious class legis- lation extending over centuries, till, as in the French Revolution. the whole frame of society falls in with a crash, or as in England, drags in a mighty agitation ex- tending over years and still far from In the House of Commons the other day in answer to a question it was told that since June last, 5311 perâ€" sons (in Ireland) had been evicted, that is to say been rendered homeless by pro- cess of law; of this number 3926 were re- admitted as caretakers. the remaining 1685 being left to their own resources (God help them I), to beg, starve or go to the workhouse. A curious aspect of this state is that the military force protecting the Bailifls in their unhuman toil, cost much more than the petty sum due by the indigent tenants. In Prussia, some years back, there existed a land question as grave as this one. Prussian states- manshlp was equal to the task of solving it; may not the same be expected of English statesmanship 7 or does it con- fess its inability to meet the crisis 2 EXHIBITION AT R The expoaition has joined its fathers, not Without exceeding them to the sum of $5,000, the take in of the lat t being about $35,000.

The itinerant show man was there driving his joyous trade; here a ventriloquist extracting speeeh from a sawdust puppet; there a Highlander dressed in the height of fashion, minus pants, was blowing for dear life into a bag, which was groaning and shrieking in a frightful manner at the torture in» flicted by the man in pctticoats. There was base ball and horse racing; there was speech making and corxwt playing; jugâ€" glers and tumblers, and altogether it was dim likeness to the glorious times that of old took place when the merry making people went to tho Puneliostown races.
