damage was done to peach trees by
the storm. There is a difference of
opinion among Dover men who own
orchards on the subject, None OF
them have been out in their orchards
at this writing. Some think that the
heavily laden trees in some instances
have been twisted and broken, while
others are Of the opinion that the force
of the wind was too high to hurt
peach trees much. All agree that
fruit is not yet ripe enough to have
been shaken off badly.
Tramps are over running the town.

The game of base ball at Milford yes.
terday afternoon ended in a rumpus.
The Milford made one run in the first
inning aud no other runs were made
then until the ninth when
Dover went in and tied the
score. Milford then went to the bat,
and the first batter struck foul which
Hodson and McNatt ran for, collidinp
in their attempt to capture the ball.
In the meantime the batter ran, max
ing first. The umpire called the ball
fair, and to this decision the Dover
players objected. Finally William
Walker, manager, ordered the Dover
players off the field, and of course the
game goes TO Milford 9 tot

Each colony has its own parliamentary
government: Victoria, New South Wales,
South Australia, Queensland and Western
Australia on the main land, and the island of
Tasmania, once known ms Van Diemen's land.
All the capitals are on the sea board. and
nearly all transit between them is by water.
Australia has developed far more rapidly
than the American colonies did under British
rule; and now that the vast capabilities Of
the island arc known, we may expect a
speedy advance from the confederation sys-
tenn to the United States Of Australia.

BE Handsome Structure.
The city Of Brooklyn, which until tho past
five years was never much noted for its fine
buildings, has undergone a remarkable
change within that time, and it is surprising
to observe how thoroughly the building
craze has taken hold Of a city which was erst-
while principally noticeable for the low,
squatty character of its structures. These
unimposing buildings are being rapidly re-
placed by beautiful business houses, and Of
recent years some very splendid public build,
ings have been erected.

copper mines, is said to possess the largest
silver fields in Australia
Another important feature Of Australian
production is wool. The great sheep runs,
occupying immense districts, are as attract
i've TO the young British capitalist as are
Texas and New Mexico TO Americans. The
merino and other fine breeds imported into
Australia have increased rapidly, and the
export Of wool, from ordinary to best quail
ity, is enormous.
Victoria is becoming rich in manufacture.
Her older sister colony, New South Wales,
looks with envy upon Victorias 1000 manu-
factories, producing woolens carpets, cam
brics and other fabrics New South Wales is
also bampered somewhat by a heavy debt.
Australia is just about as large as tho United
States exclusive Of Alaska, and contains
some 100000 people, with 100000 horses,
5000 900 cattle and at least $4,000 900 sheen,
and the wool Of the last named averages the
finest and most valuable in the world. But
these millions have only filled in few an
giles around the southeast and northeast
coasts; all the interior is unoccupied, and to
the northwest it is one vast sunken desert
with an iron floor and walled with yellow
cliffs which scorch the hand. Only few
persons have penetrated this awful basin of
half million square miles; they report that
but little way from the border there is not
a drop Of water, q blade Of grass or a sign of
living creature, while the mercury often rises
to $50 dogs in the shade
When first settled Eastern Australia often
suffered terrible heats and droughts; the
mercury rose during the summer to 1O5 degs.
daily, and when the dry wind blew to 1856
dogs. But man has modified the climate
wonderfully by cultivation and irrigation;
and now there are not many oppressive
days near the coast Towards the interior
heat and drought increase rapidly; dry
channels at one season filled with raging tor
rents at another, and for ten months at a
time there is neither rain nor dew. But as
the white man advances and plows and
clears, SO as 70 stop the forest fires kindled by
the blacks, new vegetation appears, the rain
fall is more regular and the country proves
to be very fertile. The Englishman takes
his climate with him; but the native dies as
the white advances. The "dingon fees be-
fore the British bulldog, and even the native
rat is exterminated by the imported "Nor-
way" as in the United States.

On the 25th Of january, 17sS, Capt Phellin
who had been sent out from England viii
transports bearing $50 convicts, under r
guard Of 200soldors, arrived at Port jackson
and landed at the present site of Sydney. Tho
convicts were told of into gangs and forced
at the point Of tho bayonet and under thu
lash to do the work of clearing Each man
worked with bali and chain to his ankle,
after the manner Of the 'chain gangs in
vogue IN America thirty or forty years ago
It is.said that in those days the Australian
summer was SO hot that when the dry winds
came birds would fall to the ground dead
What must have been the sufferings Of the
convict forced to work at telling trees and
opening roads in this intense heatl Whatever
of pain the climate failed to innict was sup
piled by the "cat o nine tailsn
The landing Of these unfortunates was the
birthday Of New South Wales, and the pecu-
liar manner Of that colony's birth cast
blight upon it for many years. There were
no women in the colony, and many outrages
were perpetrated upon the natives The
English governor recommended that cargo
Of women Of the lowest class be sent out. Five
hundred and twenty Of these creatures, refuse
from the lowest quarters Of London, were
shipped TO the new colony to become wives

Why So Many Ladies Cry Clearly Explained and
How II Can Be Avoided Carefully Described.
Il is safe to say that not one woman in ten
thousand lives single week in which she does
not either cry or feel Ike crying. The cares OF
Life, disappointments. and, more than all else,
weaknesses and pains make al women more or
less miserable This is all wrong. Women were
made for happiness, not for misery. When a
woman is weak she requires strength Her body,
her mind and all Der faculties and functions
must be put in a healthy condition, or she can
Lot secure strength. Nature is always ready to
do this, but nature almost always requires as
sistance and the question therefore Is, " How
can we best assist natu;e?"
The finest physicians in the medical profession
have agreed that nothing so surely and easily
either before meals or between meals. The ef-
feet is 70 gently and healthlly stimulate all the
faculties TO vigorous action, and thus nature Is
assisted and strength is given There are huh
treds OF thousands OF ladies in America, to-day,
who are growing stronger, healthier ana more
attractive In appearance by the Judicioas use or
Dufry's Pure Malt whlskey. Many OF these
ladies are the wives OF Ministers and Professors,
and hundreds Of them are Temperance women.
They realize that Duny's Pure Malt Whiskey Is
a medicine, not drink, and that IL furnishes
the best and only positive help 10 weakened
bodies that has ever been discovered. Great
care should be exercised, however, TO secure
only the genuine, which is absolutely pure, for
there are very many So-called WHISTLES In the
market that are q positive injury 10 any one
who uses them. We venture 70 assert. however,
that not one woman IN I'VE hundred who will
carefully use this great aid to health In modera-
ton win continue 10 suffer from weaknesses,
but. on the contrary, Will find renewal not
only OF youthful yigor but OF color, brightness,
and all those qualities which indicate the pre-
sence OF perfect health.
