THE "REMITTANCEv MAN.
Reminder of Time When Australia
Was Penal COLONY.

Australia Correspondence London Mall
Even before the abolition of the convict
transportation system, when the Australian
colonies ceased to be merely penal settle
ments' custom had sprung up among the
ranks of the English aristocracy and
wealthy middle classes which supplied
Australia with a small but unceasing
stream of undesirable British emigrants
This custom was, and is, for fathers and
heads of families to dispatch their IRENE
diably lazy. vicious and ne'er-do-well or
dlpsomaniac younger sons and relatives to
the various Australian states and there
maintain them from actual starvation by
small quarterly-paid life pension REMIT ed
to them through a bank, which said Den
sion, 1t 1s mutually agreed between donors
ana recipients, shall be absolutely and
forever forfeited If the emigrants on any
preteXt quit Australia
Hence the remittance mana by no
means contemplate unit of Australian pop-
ulation when his class is considered in it's
numerical aggregate, but in every other
respect despicable creature and an in
comparably useless member of society, In
the excessive local slang he is known as a
Waster, term which reaches the ne plus
ultra of contemptuous sentiment and cr1ti-
cism.
Quite nfne-tenths of remittance men are
1ncurable dipsomaniacs. The remaining
one-tenth comprises a curious band of
hopeless rogues, spendthrift bankrupts,
criminal lmbeclles. cashered army officers,
defauiting piungers and other unprincipled
blackguards. 1t is Australia's chief griev-
ance against the motherland that England
seliishly persist in foisting on our shores
thls continuous stream of proved bad
blood, from which no good can ever he ex
tracted, and which only serves to swell the
ranks of our lunatic asylums, our charita-
bic institutions and our gaols.

Remarkable Suicide in Paris.

From the London Telegraph
An extraordinary case of suicide is re-
ported from Evreux, In the department of
the Eure. A Breton woman named Marie
Morvan. aged thirty-hve, dug grave by
the side of that Of her sister and then
buried herself alive. Morvan was an ex-
emplary servant, employed by a farmer
near Evreux. Recently one of her married
sisters died, and on her deathbed extract
ed from Marie a promise. This was to the
effect that the latter would faithfully
marry her brother-in-law when he was left
a widower. After the death Of the sister
Marie Morvan thought of the promise. AS
she had no desire to wed and no liking for
her brother-in-law, the widOwer, she re-
solved to die. She would then, she consid
cred, join her sister in the next world and
make matters all right with her. The
woman, 1t appears, lifted up the gravestone
over her sister, and after she had exca-
waited a tomb for herself brought the slab
down over her. Part of Marie Morvans 8
dress was seen protruding from the head
stone by another sister, a Madame Ledu,
who went to visit the grave. Surprised,
the woman called for help from people near
at hand, and, the slab being raised up,
Marie Morvan was found dead In the grave
dug by her own hands. She was suffocated
soon after the headstone had closed on her.
Her hands and face were not covered by
the earth, which she had managed to pile
over her body.

Doctors at Funerals,

From the London Truth.
correspondent asks one of my medical
contemporaries: when a medical man ar
tends the funeral of a patient, should his
carriage precede the hearse, or follow the
other carriages in the procession" The
editor replies that ut would be quite out
of place for doctors carriage to precede
the hearse. That may be his opinion;
but there may be others who will think
1t In accordance with the fitness of things
that the doctor should figure in the pro-
cesslon as conducting the deceased to the
grave. Evidently the doctor who ostaS
the question thought that he ought to 90

Ravenous Fish.
From the Detroit Tribune.

from The Dptr0lt IrDunc.
A strange circumstance is reported from
Sandy Creek, Monroe county On Wednes-
day evening Of last week Mike Shilling
was awakened by cries proceeding from the
poultry house, and. rising, went prepared
to make trouble abundant for the maraud
ers No person was discovered, however,
and the origin of the excitement puzzled
Shilling: but as the squawkophone concert
continued Shilling, approaching nearer,
saw that the Little Sandy. swollen to great
size by the rains, had got full'' and flooded
the coop. The water was not up TO the
chicken perches, but along with the tide
had come a herd of German carp, which
were constantly Hopping out of the water
in an endeaVor to grab the fowls They
had not yet succeeded in getting any, but
Shilling would bet a dollar with any one
that he would have lost the entire batch
had he not opportunity arrived and fright
ened the carp away.

works are a new thing in England. They
are so made that the whole furnace can be
turned by the pulling Of a lever, so that
ten pounds or ten tons or more of steel can
be run out in d mighty golden stream to
make the enormous castings required.
Like an Exposition.
The buildings, IN short, look more like
great exposition structures than common
workshops and their contents are more in
teresting than any exposition l have yet
visited The roofs are of iron and glass, so
that the shops are flooded with light, and
this brightness is added to by the white
paint with which everything connected
with the interior is covered. Great atten-
tiOn has been paid to the comfort of the
employees. and the workmen will probably
be the euvied Of their kind In the British
Isles. The buildings have cost, so l am
told. about so.UO.U0 and the machinery
within them about $5,0O00O0 more.
An American Town in England.
When these works are In full operation
they will employ about 5000 hands, and a
town built on the American plan is growing
up there to house them. A building COM
pany entirely independent of the electric
company has been formed and this COM
pany now owns 120 acres of land adjoining
the works. 1t has laid out town just as
We lay out our towns in the west. The
streets are in regular blocks and they are
marked by numbers. The ordinary British
street has no name that indicates its loca-
tion, and the people here are surprised at
this settlement of 1st street, ID street, Sd
street and 4th street and of numbered ave-
nues. About 5000 buildings are to be
erected and about GOO are under roof. The
houses are called cottages, but they are in
reality little two-story bricks of from four
to six rooms built in blocks Each house
has its bath and its electric light, which
are quite curiosities in workmen's dwellings
in England The houses will be rented at
cheap rates to the Westinghouse men, but
there Will be no compulsion, and any man
can live where he pleases.
The town company expects to put up a
large hotel for commercial travellers and
will also have schools and club buildings
and recreation grounds l understand that
number of Americans have stock in the
company and that some have bought land
