A SAILOR'S GRIEVANCE. The Marchant Service Guild have lately laid before the Marquess of Lansdowne the sixcom- stances attending the unjustifiable arrest by the Callno polics anthorities of their member, Mr. F. W. Simpson, third ofleor of the Pacifio Steam Navigation Company's steamer Ince. It appears that on Sunday, February the 12th last, Mr. Simpson, in company with a fellow officer, spent the afternoon in journey ing to Lima and bank to Callao by the electric car. On reaching Callao & crowd was waiting to board the car for its return journey. Amongst the crowd was a man in civilian dress who endeavoured to force his way into the car, aud ho will perhaps wonder what sort of business with the resnit that Mr. Simpson's bat was this is.

The following morning the British Vice-Consul interested himself in the zaottar and, so large being lodged against Mr. It subse- Simpson, he was at once liberated. quently uppeared that the individual who ordered his arrest was Colonel Nieto, the Commissioner of the First Polion District of Lists, but beyond ordering Mr. Simpson's arrest us stated, bo did not pat in any appearance.

The Marquess of Lausdowne slates that the Guild will you therefrom that the Callao authorities desire to express their great regret at the unfortunate insident and, further, that Colonel Nieto has resigned his appointment. The following is the text of the letter of the British Coosal-Geroral at Callao Simpson-British Consul-General,

Sir, I hare to inform you that the Callno authorities have authorized me to state to you that, whilst they disclaim all responsibility for your arrest on the 12th February last, without their knowledge and consent, by order of Cotonel Niets of the Lima police, they desire to express their great regret at the disagreeable is ident which cansed you so much annoyance.

Colonel Nieto deemed it advisable to resign his appointment in Tiam at the end of March last and bas rotired from the public service.

Then the wound may be sucked, but not by a person whose lips are cracked or whose teeth are very decayed: the wounded, part may profitably be washed with ammonia or caustic may be applied, or even a hot iron, and finally, if there is no bleeding, it is advisable to enlarge the wound so as to wash away some of the poison in a stream of blood.

The bite of a dangerous saska always resuits in a slowing of the heart's heat, and therefore, after being bitten, this should be counterbalanced by some stimulant which should be taken in small dosas at frequent intervals: Ammonia for this purpose is recommended, but it is hardly necessary to mention that alcohol in its various forms of brandy, whisks, etc.. is splendid stimulant. Care should be taken that the amount of alcohol administered he not-so-much- as to be followed by alcoholic poisoning.

Mr. Edward Brider, coachbuilder for Messrs. Hanmer & Thie -bent, Naauwpoort, C.C., wrote on November 30th last :-"I find indigestion in a rather severe form. After meals a dizziness quite overcame me and I threw up the food I had eaten. There was constant dull pain in my stomach and back and I could not sleep at nights. Life seemed not worth living. This state of health continued until I went to live in Middleburg, where I read of Mother Seige's Syrup, and heard several persons, who had used it, speak in praise of it. I decided to try it and was quite cured by using only three bottles of it. That was soque three years ago, and I continue in good health."
