Honse, ie declared with earnestness that the peace
of Iveland was the aim of his life. Ile defended his
course on the question, saying that inconsistency in

) 41E PERILS OF THE GOLD FIELDS
HOW TO ESCAPE THEM.
If all who loave the coast for the Goll Fields
could anderstand what they must encounter in the way
of exposure, privation, and the diseases growing out of
these causes, the first eager inquiry of each would bet what
are the best medicines to take to tha mines?â To this
question but one response would be made by veteran
miners, They would recommend every © green handâ
tosupply himself with an ample store of Hollowayâs Pills
and Vintinent, âMhe squatter, the shepherd, the citizen,
and in fact all classes of colonista, are familiar with the
heneficent operation of these two great remedies, and
from Swan River to Sydney, from Melbourne to the
northernmost outpost of the settlements, the gold-seek-
er regards them as the sole reliable specifics for all in-
ternal and external maladies. It would be difficult to
find a shepherdâs hut in the most remote pastoral tracts
of Australia, to which the fame of Professor Holloway
and his mvaluable discoveries had not found their way,
ora tent or shanty within the golden circle of the dig.
ngs where they were not ranked among the necessaries
of life. Tt woakd seem that the complaints most pre-
valent in New South Wales are Gysentury and iofluenza,
which yield readily to Hollowayâs Pills, and to nothing
olse. The too free use of cold waterin hot weather, mn-
jadicious indulgence in fruits and salt food, exposure
to the san, and mtemperate habits are the prolific
eauscs of dysentry, and hundreds of newly-arrived
emigrants are swept off by this terrible complaint; but
gld residents who are acquainted with the alterative and
restorative properties of the Pills, regard it without
fear, woll, knowing that it never results fatally in any
case in which they are adminietered to the sufferer,
Jofluenza, of a moat dietressing type, is a conmon com-
plaint throughout the colonies, and inthe rainy months,
par excellence, from April to September, it generally
takes the shape of an epidemic. Tho ftinerent traders
who visit the diggings. find, during the winter, @ more
than uevally profitable market tor Holloway smedicines.
The Pills, aided in their operation by warm drinks,
apeedily remove every vestge of the disorder, and when
it is attended with a sore throat and oppression of the
chest, gréat bevelit is derived from the brisk applica:
tion of the Ointment immediately over the seat of in-
flammation. In the clay diggings of Ballarat aud all
along the auriferous borders of the Taron River, both
dysentry and Influenza are remarkably prevalent, and
we learn that the success of Hollowayâs remedies in
these regions has bven most triumphant. Bat it the
same everywhire, Throughout Austratia,in Van Die-
man's Land, and in New Zcland we know that they are
considered the great sulvors of health and life, and
testimony to the samo effect from all parts is couâ iuu-
ally senabing ug.â Tie Miner.

Tun Islander can see nothing commendable itn the Le-
gislation of the past Session. Of conrse hots Dnt
when he can polut to a better Act, on tle Statute Book
than the Act to encouraze the Settlement and Cultiva-
tion of Wilderness Lands,â it will be qnite time enough
for lim to Indulge in the extravagant censure which has
chara toien during the past week, prevents our replying to the
Islander, but we cannot forbear saying that the assertion
that most of the wilderness laud owned by the Gov-
ernment, Is â* Worthless,â is not correct. From all we
can learn, we think we can easily show that there are
eighty or ninety thousand acres of excellent wilderness
land in the possession of the Government. If this be
not a fact, what excuse cau the late Government offer for
haying bound the Colony to pay over ÂŁ50,000 for land,
the great proportion of which they knew to be â worth-
lessâ? We must, however, reserve our remarks upon
this subject for another week, but, in the meantime, 4f
the Jslander can satisfactorily answer the foregoing query
the publle will be glad to know it. y
Coxsorina.âThe Rey, Father O'Partehinade use of
the following words, When preaching the funeral sermon
over'the body of T, D. MeGee:â ,
âBut his religious feelings became more intense ard
sincere during the long illucssto which Providenée
was pleased to subject to him, During the lonely hours
of lis convalescence, lis anind pondered deeply on the
grout truths of religion, and he himself often epoke of
the beneficial effects upon his soul of those great aud
congoling mysterics. The result of these medita-
tions might bu seen in the jucreased fervour with
which he prepared to receive the Sacraments which
Christ instituted to satisfy the wants of the soul. and in
the publie fulfilment in this Church, onthe day before
he departed from Montreal, of those dutiesâ wlrich are
imposed upon Catholics at Easter tine. This change
might alao be seen in the resolution which he kept so
inviolably until the uy of his death, to abstain from
those social excesses which would mar 80 Gousiderably
the effect of his talents. Let those who are tempted
ag he was, appreciate the amount of self sacrifice
which such a resolution involved. Finally this change
might be seen in the earnest tones of the few writings
or speeches which were lately prepared by hiu, but in
none, perhaps, better than in the very affecting lines
which he composed as a song of requiem to a departed
friend, beside whose coflin he stood in these very
aisles only one short month ago. I cannot conclude
better than by quoting some of those lines, as the por-
trait which he painted of his friend will new serve to
describe himself.
ââ}Lis Faith was as the tested gold,
Ilis hope, assured, not over bold,
His Charities, past count, untold,
Misercre Domine,
Well may they grieve, who laid him there,
Where shall they find his equal? Where?
Nought can avail him now, bnt praycr.
Miserere Domine,â
With this mournful dirge I commend his memory te
your care.â
Tt will be seen by our telegram, that M. P. Ryan,
tsq., bas been elected by acclamation for: Montreal
West. âThe Quebee Chronicle, speaking of this gentle-
man, Says :â
Mr. Ryan bas never been a prominent man in Mon-
treal, which has probably redownded to his credit and
Ladvantage ; and his position to-day, is that of a com-
promise or Union Candidate, acceptable to all paracs,
The Protestant eluctors of the division, who uumber
nearly, or guite one half the whole, have generously
and becomingly consented to support an Trish Roman
Catholic candidate, as Mr. McGee's successor. âThis
confidence of the Protestants isan evidence of the good
moral effect of his labors, and atribute to the liberality,
kindliness, and thorongh patriotism by which he was:
dietinguished. Mr. Ryan's strongest recommendations
to Montreal West, consist in his friendship forthe de-
ceased statesman, and identification with him in sym-
pathy and polities. The new candidate, to bis honor
be it snid, isa modest man, who has had the vomin-
ation pressed upon him, and who accepted it only at
the urgent solicitation of his fellow citizens. âThis
shows strikingly, the proud position to which a loyal
and respectable Lrish Catholic may rise in Canada,â
namely, the representation Of the most important con-
stituency inthe Dominion. âThe fact will prove an eu-
couragement to houvest merit aud good ciuzenship,
while abounding in salutary instractivu and warning to
the sorry demagogay aud half-hearted traitor to the
country, Whase institutions be hates and plots against,

Propantiatries oy A Fentan Rato.âRes) ectny the
chances of a Fenian invasion of the Province of Ontario '
this season, the Toronto Globe's Ottawa corresponden, |
writes as followg:ââIf I may digress 1 wall do so, to |
say that good authority hereabouts hag it that this i+
vacion is a fixed fatvt, and that, althoogl there has been
a great deal of noasense talked about Fenian cannon
and small arins, yet itis @ factthere are sympathisers
on tho other side of the line whovyhave offered very large
sums to aid the project.â ln confirmation of this belict,
we give the following extract from a letter to the King
ston Whig, dated Bulfato, April 1th: -Ttis mooted
here that some combined movement of the Fenians a-
gainst Canada is imminent, aud that Mr. McGee's
laughter, allhough a part of the program ve, together
With the destruction of other eminent meu of the Do-
minion, was premature.. âThe Fenians have been ina
state of unusual activity for some time, and from the
secrecy and zeal with which they condugt their prepa-
rations for mischief, it is apparent that they intend to
harm Canada in a manner, and with substantial deter-
mination to accotuplish their devilish designs. The
steadiness of the Fenians in the procession yesterday, |
and the ease with which they manwavred and drilled |
was a matter of general remark. âihe arms, too, with
which two battalions of them were supplied, were of the
latest breech-loading pattern, and: cleau and in good cou
dition. The people of Canada should be prepared.â |
The Patriot must be desperately hard up for a grie-
vance, when it is forced to attack the Government for |
having contemplated taking the Census this year. or!
course, our contemporary, Who always acts from the |
most heavenly motives, lusiinates that we approve of |
this extravagant act, because we would get the Printing
in connection with it. Well, if it be any consolation to |
the Putriot to know the fact, we can assure him that, for!
reasons best known to the Government, it is not intend. |
ed to take the census this year. If our vigilant contem-
porary will, therefore, only possess his soul in patience
until he comes to oceupy the envied position of Queen's
Peinter, he may have a chance of receiving the full
benefit of the census; nor will we be so narrow-minded |
as to say, that, in order to reward political friends, the |
Government proposed, and the Queen's Printer in pros- |
peetu advocated, the taking of the census according to|
the usual custom of the Colonyânamely, every seven |
years. Bor the present, all we will say is, that the
Government has little to fear from the opposition of the
Patriot. The vacillating tactics of that paper, if they
have any effect at all upon the country, must tend rather
to strengthen than to weaken the Government; and
under such circumstances we leave the Patriot all alone
ju its glory. '

) 41E PERILS OF THE GOLD FIELDS
HOW TO ESCAPE THEM.
If all who loave the coast for the Goll Fields
could anderstand what they must encounter in the way
of exposure, privation, and the diseases growing out of
these causes, the first eager inquiry of each would bet what
are the best medicines to take to tha mines?â To this
question but one response would be made by veteran
miners, They would recommend every © green handâ
tosupply himself with an ample store of Hollowayâs Pills
and Vintinent, âMhe squatter, the shepherd, the citizen,
and in fact all classes of colonista, are familiar with the
heneficent operation of these two great remedies, and
from Swan River to Sydney, from Melbourne to the
northernmost outpost of the settlements, the gold-seek-
er regards them as the sole reliable specifics for all in-
ternal and external maladies. It would be difficult to
find a shepherdâs hut in the most remote pastoral tracts
of Australia, to which the fame of Professor Holloway
and his mvaluable discoveries had not found their way,
ora tent or shanty within the golden circle of the dig.
ngs where they were not ranked among the necessaries
of life. Tt woakd seem that the complaints most pre-
valent in New South Wales are Gysentury and iofluenza,
which yield readily to Hollowayâs Pills, and to nothing
olse. The too free use of cold waterin hot weather, mn-
jadicious indulgence in fruits and salt food, exposure
to the san, and mtemperate habits are the prolific
eauscs of dysentry, and hundreds of newly-arrived
emigrants are swept off by this terrible complaint; but
gld residents who are acquainted with the alterative and
restorative properties of the Pills, regard it without
fear, woll, knowing that it never results fatally in any
case in which they are adminietered to the sufferer,
Jofluenza, of a moat dietressing type, is a conmon com-
plaint throughout the colonies, and inthe rainy months,
par excellence, from April to September, it generally
takes the shape of an epidemic. Tho ftinerent traders
who visit the diggings. find, during the winter, @ more
than uevally profitable market tor Holloway smedicines.
The Pills, aided in their operation by warm drinks,
apeedily remove every vestge of the disorder, and when
it is attended with a sore throat and oppression of the
chest, gréat bevelit is derived from the brisk applica:
tion of the Ointment immediately over the seat of in-
flammation. In the clay diggings of Ballarat aud all
along the auriferous borders of the Taron River, both
dysentry and Influenza are remarkably prevalent, and
we learn that the success of Hollowayâs remedies in
these regions has bven most triumphant. Bat it the
same everywhire, Throughout Austratia,in Van Die-
man's Land, and in New Zcland we know that they are
considered the great sulvors of health and life, and
testimony to the samo effect from all parts is couâ iuu-

gislation of the past Session. Of conrse hots Dnt
when he can polut to a better Act, on tle Statute Book
than the Act to encouraze the Settlement and Cultiva-
tion of Wilderness Lands,â it will be qnite time enough
for lim to Indulge in the extravagant censure which has
chara toien during the past week, prevents our replying to the
Islander, but we cannot forbear saying that the assertion
that most of the wilderness laud owned by the Gov-
ernment, Is â* Worthless,â is not correct. From all we
can learn, we think we can easily show that there are
eighty or ninety thousand acres of excellent wilderness
land in the possession of the Government. If this be
not a fact, what excuse cau the late Government offer for
haying bound the Colony to pay over ÂŁ50,000 for land,
the great proportion of which they knew to be â worth-
lessâ? We must, however, reserve our remarks upon
this subject for another week, but, in the meantime, 4f
the Jslander can satisfactorily answer the foregoing query
the publle will be glad to know it. y

âBut his religious feelings became more intense ard
sincere during the long illucssto which Providenée
was pleased to subject to him, During the lonely hours
of lis convalescence, lis anind pondered deeply on the
grout truths of religion, and he himself often epoke of
the beneficial effects upon his soul of those great aud
congoling mysterics. The result of these medita-
tions might bu seen in the jucreased fervour with
which he prepared to receive the Sacraments which
Christ instituted to satisfy the wants of the soul. and in
the publie fulfilment in this Church, onthe day before
he departed from Montreal, of those dutiesâ wlrich are
imposed upon Catholics at Easter tine. This change
might alao be seen in the resolution which he kept so
inviolably until the uy of his death, to abstain from
those social excesses which would mar 80 Gousiderably
the effect of his talents. Let those who are tempted
ag he was, appreciate the amount of self sacrifice
which such a resolution involved. Finally this change
might be seen in the earnest tones of the few writings
or speeches which were lately prepared by hiu, but in
none, perhaps, better than in the very affecting lines
which he composed as a song of requiem to a departed
friend, beside whose coflin he stood in these very
aisles only one short month ago. I cannot conclude
better than by quoting some of those lines, as the por-
trait which he painted of his friend will new serve to
describe himself.

Tt will be seen by our telegram, that M. P. Ryan,
tsq., bas been elected by acclamation for: Montreal
West. âThe Quebee Chronicle, speaking of this gentle-
man, Says :â
Mr. Ryan bas never been a prominent man in Mon-
treal, which has probably redownded to his credit and
Ladvantage ; and his position to-day, is that of a com-
promise or Union Candidate, acceptable to all paracs,
The Protestant eluctors of the division, who uumber
nearly, or guite one half the whole, have generously
and becomingly consented to support an Trish Roman
Catholic candidate, as Mr. McGee's successor. âThis
confidence of the Protestants isan evidence of the good
moral effect of his labors, and atribute to the liberality,
kindliness, and thorongh patriotism by which he was:
dietinguished. Mr. Ryan's strongest recommendations
to Montreal West, consist in his friendship forthe de-
ceased statesman, and identification with him in sym-
pathy and polities. The new candidate, to bis honor
be it snid, isa modest man, who has had the vomin-
ation pressed upon him, and who accepted it only at
the urgent solicitation of his fellow citizens. âThis
shows strikingly, the proud position to which a loyal
and respectable Lrish Catholic may rise in Canada,â
namely, the representation Of the most important con-
stituency inthe Dominion. âThe fact will prove an eu-

say that good authority hereabouts hag it that this i+
vacion is a fixed fatvt, and that, althoogl there has been
a great deal of noasense talked about Fenian cannon
and small arins, yet itis @ factthere are sympathisers
on tho other side of the line whovyhave offered very large
sums to aid the project.â ln confirmation of this belict,
we give the following extract from a letter to the King
ston Whig, dated Bulfato, April 1th: -Ttis mooted
here that some combined movement of the Fenians a-
gainst Canada is imminent, aud that Mr. McGee's
laughter, allhough a part of the program ve, together
With the destruction of other eminent meu of the Do-
minion, was premature.. âThe Fenians have been ina
state of unusual activity for some time, and from the
secrecy and zeal with which they condugt their prepa-
rations for mischief, it is apparent that they intend to
harm Canada in a manner, and with substantial deter-
mination to accotuplish their devilish designs. The
steadiness of the Fenians in the procession yesterday, |
and the ease with which they manwavred and drilled |
was a matter of general remark. âihe arms, too, with
which two battalions of them were supplied, were of the
latest breech-loading pattern, and: cleau and in good cou
dition. The people of Canada should be prepared.â |
The Patriot must be desperately hard up for a grie-
vance, when it is forced to attack the Government for |
having contemplated taking the Census this year. or!
course, our contemporary, Who always acts from the |
most heavenly motives, lusiinates that we approve of |
this extravagant act, because we would get the Printing
in connection with it. Well, if it be any consolation to |
the Putriot to know the fact, we can assure him that, for!
reasons best known to the Government, it is not intend. |
ed to take the census this year. If our vigilant contem-
porary will, therefore, only possess his soul in patience
until he comes to oceupy the envied position of Queen's
Peinter, he may have a chance of receiving the full
benefit of the census; nor will we be so narrow-minded |
as to say, that, in order to reward political friends, the |
Government proposed, and the Queen's Printer in pros- |
peetu advocated, the taking of the census according to|
the usual custom of the Colonyânamely, every seven |
years. Bor the present, all we will say is, that the
Government has little to fear from the opposition of the
Patriot. The vacillating tactics of that paper, if they
have any effect at all upon the country, must tend rather
to strengthen than to weaken the Government; and
under such circumstances we leave the Patriot all alone
ju its glory. '
