There is no doubt that the last war between China and Japan and the subsequent events following, such as the reported extension of the settlement, etc, has been the means of benefiting not a few, particularly so the farmers and land owners, who have had the opportunity and sense enough to dispose of their land at (compradores, shipchandlers, and general store.

All I ask is for space wherein to lay my case bate, for I am one of many whose means does net extend to employing lawyers to fight for my rights, and to draw up elaborate petitions to the Government, peliker am I in a position to approach unofficial members of the Legislative Council and Invoke their aid on my behalf. I have no doubt, however, that when they have read this letter and have made inquiries into the matter they will, the Government tarps deaf ear to my humble appeal for fair play, not be alow to draw the attention of the powers that he to the actual state of affairs wilk a viewtoanequitable settlement of what promises to become a serious difficulty in the not far distant future.

It is well within my recollection that the Government, after resuming the plague-lafected area of Taipingaben, appointed Board of Arbitration to settle in a fair and reasonable manner the claims made (vistuaily at the invi. taifon of Government) by the owners of the valuable property, possession of which had been resumed by the Crown. It is, I believe, an record that the Government paid to the owners of house property within the resumed area sums of money aggregating upwards of $700,000, and that almost all of the cisimants were well astished with the awards of the aforesaid Board of Arbitration.

"In June, 1894, aba began taking Mother Scigal's Byrap, of which we had just read int's little book that was left at the house. In a wook she was bestar, and in loss than two months ahe was enjoying better health than ever before. She has since alled nothing, And can eat any kind of food. (Signed) (2) Henrietta MoCallam."
"Happy" sings Homer, “ware they who fall under the high walls of Troy." Happier are they who have nerer alle under the crushing weight of indigestion or dyspepsia.

And if all these could be gibered together they would make a greater host than the Gresk poes ever dreamed of.dr.]
