Disadvantage. Of Color nlipdues..


No man who has this defect should be
a physician. He cannot tell whether his
patient is flushed or pale. As was said
of one such: "How should he know
whether this is scarlet feverl He never
saw scarlet in his life" Next 10 the ply
sician the chemist is a dangerous man;
he must trust entirely TO the labels on
his drugs: II they change color. and this
often indicates that they are deterorat-
ing. he does not know, but still sends
them out with cheerful mind. The
sick nurse Is also disqualified, and for the
same reason. After these come the rail-
way signal man, who reads the red dan

commanding him TO dash on. Then there
Is the sailor who mistakes the starboard

II Is crime for the color blind to pur-
sue any Of these callings when their de-
feet has been brought home 10 them,
and there are other trades which IL is
foolish in them 10 follow, because they
can never compete with those who have
perfect vision. The tailor, the milliner,
the house painter, the dyer are instances
Of these. Bu< more than half Of tho

stupidity, or IL known It is concealed as
a disadvantage by them, though in the
nature Of things they are not aware OF
the mischief they may do through IT.

Railroad Building In New South Wales.
There was nothing else for it, so took
a pick and shovel and went to work on
the railway embanIment, yea, even as
sub-contractor; that is TO say. the land
was just being cleared and burnt off and
my undertaking was to take so many
claims, according to the nature Of the
ground, at a price varying from ten
pence to fourteen pence per cubic yard;
the mullock was to be dug and wheeled
to form the embankment. In some
cases we met with rocks and other i'm
pediments. and then we didn't dig at all.
We, my mates and myself, went to work
about sunrise in the summer, say 8 a. M,
and knocked off at sunset. We lived in
our own camp a calico tent, cooked
our own tucker, when we had any,
drank water that YOU wouldn't drown q
dog in at home and had altogether san
culinary jolly time Of ii. However, we
stuck ON with the work and eventually
got TO within sixteen miles Of Bourke,
when the water, feed and everything
else gave out.
The weather was as hot rs tophet thrice
heated, and the work for the time was
abandoned. And very lively trip we
had of it down the fifty-five miles of
back line. We had to carry water in
our canvas water bags. Out Of nine dogs
we had with us, six died from the heat,
and we ourselves were not too much
alive at the finish. may here say that
during the eighteen months | was work.
ing ON the line the only vegetables ]
tasted were dried apples, rice and bread;
the rest Of our bill Of fare was made up
of corned mutton, very occasionally;
canned fish, preserved mutton and beef,
and very rarely fresh beef We also
consumed kangaroo when we could get
it. Sometimes we would poach a couple
of jumbucks sheep, and TO show to
what state they were reduced, have
often carried two in a sack, and they
didn't weigh more than twenty pounds
together Letter.

Banqueting Chamberlain.

LONDON, April 10.-The Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain was ~banqueted by
the Devonshire club. Earl Granville pre-
sided and congratulated Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
upon the result of his mission to America.
Lord Harrington, Hon. Hugh C. Childers
and many members of both houses of
parliament were present. Mr.. Chamber
lain in replying to Earl Granville said
that he was glad TO see so many of his
old colleagues present from whom
he had been temporarily dis
associated. He gathered from
the fact that they were there that there
had been no intermission of friendship
and personal regard, and that every
Englishman worthy of the name sympa-
thized in the objects of his mission. He
expressed his hopes that the treaty with
the United States would be ratified, and
strongly favored the confederation Of the
colonies.
Lord Harrington, in replying to the
toast 'tThe Club - said that they would
be proud if the club which had been ere
ated to contribute to the restoring of
party power, should add still greater
honor to itself by its services in contrib
uting towards a reconciliation of tbs
present unfortunately divided party.

brushed aside Bismarck's 6%3jectionss
But.the chancellor became stubborn, and
threatened to resign if the project was
pushed. The next day was the occasion
of Bismafck's birthday, and now with
the full light Of the recent events turned
on, the memorable speech made on that
day by Crown Prince William is yer
more significant than it appeared at the
time of its utterance. On the 18th day
of April the chancellor was told that
Prince Alexander, the valiant sutton, was
coming. This precipitated the crisis,
and then the relations between the royal
family and Bismarck were joined
by q very slender thread indeed,
needing but the slightest added
tension to snap it apart. The sudden
surrender on the part Of the chancellor is
undoubtedly due to favorable declara-
tions having been made on the subject
by the car, to whom overtures were
made. He has very likely withdrawn his
objections to Alexander, provided the
latter will %relinquish all claim to the
throne of Bulgaria. The remark is fire.
quently heard now among Berliners that
only priests and petticoats are able tt con
quer the nan of iron.

THE HOUSE DEADLOCK.
SEVEN WEARY DAYS OF DlLAToRY MO-

An Eflort VIII BE Made to Force he
House into Continuous Session and
Thereby End the Filibustering Proceed
ings-Weaver's Project.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The work OF
the house committees is being delayedby
the deadlock, the house being in session
and the legislative day of April q contin-
uing, they can not legally meet to trans
act business. Representative Ezra b.
Taylor said to a United Press reporter
Tuesday morning:
1--WE know of no conference over the
deadlock, and no prospect of its settle
ment. The settlement of the matter
rests with the Democracy, and we are
united, and will remain as we are. The
Democratic party is divided, and the set
Element will depend on the weakening
of one wing or the other"
A number of gentlemen opposed to the
deadlock will endeavor to carry out the
plan for forcing a settlement of some
kind. If some agreement is not reached
they will insist on a continuous session.
