How tub AhgiiO-Saxohb Bisk.?The ]
growth of Australia is almost as great
a phenomenon as the growth of ,the
United States. . There seems to bo a
vigor in ;the Anglo-Sixoo brood that
triumphs over all obstacles, whether
physic*!, political or moral. Twenty-!
five years ago Now Ho] laud* as Austra?
lia and New Zealand were designated,
was dotted with penul settlements, and
its white population was only 240,000.
The outcast and aondemued criminal
classes of Grout Britain were thrown
upon its shores, Tbero is now a popu?
lation of 2,000,000 of prosperous
Britons.' Instead of little habitable
land,tas was.then supposed, ono-tbird
of its surface (whiob oomprises an
estimated area of 8,000,000 square
miles) is fit for cultivation. It has
thousands of miles of railroad and is
DO longer a penal colony. The de?
scendants of some of tbo old convicts
ooonpy snoh high positions that, as a
contemporary remarks, it is dangerous
to B?k in the best sooiety who a man's
father was. Our own ptlgrim fathers
were poor, but, in gauural, honest,
whereas the pilgrim fathers of Austra?
lia seem to have "left their oountry
for their country'a good," und as it
tnrns ont, for their own, too. Austra?
lia appears to have the advantage of
as in this respect, tb?t crime bss been
succeeded by honesty there, whereas
here?bat perhaps the least said about
that the hatter. The population of
Australia is nearly no Jorge qq that

Of '70, Hat itrr wealth is said to be
ten times as great. It produces large
SuantitHte of jgOld, agricultural pro
acts'and manafaotared wares, and
next to Hindostan, is said to be Eng?
land's most profitable oolocy. It has
lines of steamships plying between it
and Europe, and is now opening lines
of communication with California.
The progress of the English-speaking
race in America and Australia Beems to
1'ustify tbe prediction of the late M.
?aradol, French Minister to tbe United
states, that the Anglo-Saxon would at
length become tbe dominating popu?
lation of tbe globe. A more important
troth than this, and one of more uni?
versal interest, has been added by the
exporienco of Australia to tbe philoso
ptyy-of-history. , It is that even on in?
heritance of crime may bo .overcome

A CoLoitA.no Zbphyb.?A letter from
Mr. E. S. Nettleton, of Colorado
Springs, dated January 21th, whiob
we find in tbe Medina (Ohio) Gazette,
Gays: "I undertook to. go down to
Paebla. When about five miles out,
tbe wholn train capsized, exoept the
engine, including tbo coaches, the
baggage and mail oars and the tender.
No one was hart. The couduotor got
tbe passeugers in tbe rear coach, and
as many as possible on tho sido next'
tbe wind. When we got down the
valley, where tbe wind had a fair,
broadside sweep at as, we again tipped
over. Tbe conductor was standing bo
side mo, while as a sheet, aud wanted
to know what was best to do. I ad?
vised bim to stop before crossing a
bridge, which was just ahead?the
longest one on the road; if we didn't I
blow over we wonld jnmp the track,
for the wheels were grinding on the
side of the rail as if turning a sharp
ourve. He palled the bell rope, the
engineer put on the steam brakes, nod
just as we stopped over we went,
piling men, women, obiidrec, baggage,
oashions and everything together. For
a moment there was quite a scrambling
and rattling of glass. About all the
damage done was tbe breaking of tbe
windowu on the under side of tbe cars.
The condnotor and; I walked back to
meet the friegbt train which was fol?
lowing. It took ns back to the Springs,
whore we waited till the wind mode?
rated; then took a coach down and
brought the passengers book, Some
of them were among those Who bad
been snowed in ten days on tho Kan?
sas Paoiflo Road; They thought being
blowed off the track was not so monot?
onous aa lying in a enow drift."

Srodoced the excitement of a universal j

tbe bulletin boards. An assemblyman
was quarter of a. million "oat" on
Ophir, but the,' most pitiable cases
were topee who had mortgaged their
little, proper ties to get the means of
speculation, und who now saw it all
swept away; There wee a general
ou'raing of Sharon, Senator elect, per
hape because Sharon was net involved
in the down-fell. The magnitude of
she orssh may be judged from the faqi
that on the 6th, Ophir, which et1 one

Consumptives, Take Notice.?
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy.
The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Sohenok'a Pulmouio Syrup, ub u
cure for consumption, fur exoeeds all
that can bo brought to support the
pretensions of any other medioino.
See Dr. Sobonok's Almanac, contain?
ing the certificates of many persons of
tho highest respectability, who have
been restored to health, after being
pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. Sobeuok'sPul?
tnonio Syrup alone has oured many, as
these evidences will show; but the
oure is often promoted by the employ?
ment of two other remedies whioh Dr.
Sohenok provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies are
Sobonok's Sea Weed Tonic and Man
djake Pills. By the timely obb of
these medicines, aocording to direc?
tions, Dr. Schenck certifies that most
any oaae of consumption may be oured.
Dr. Sohenok is professionally at his
principal office, corner Sixth aud Aroh
streets, Philadelphia, evory Monday,
where all letters for advice mast be ad?
dressed. Feb 12U9f3
The Public Confidence Well
Placed.?Although the world hoB been
seeking specific* for disease for many
centuries, few indeed have been found.
Promiuent among those few is Hub
tetter's Stomach Bitters, whioh, years
ago, received the undoraomout of the
medical profession, aud was bulled by
the press and public as the great reno
vant and preventive of theuge. Aud
with good renson, since to tho weak?
ened stomach it gives strength, to the
torpid liver activity, to the disordered
bowels regularity, and to the ahakoned
nervous system firmness aud tone.
Under its benignant influence health?
ful vigor returns to tho debilitated
aud wasted frame, the fliccid muscles
beoome compact, the wan aspect of
ill-health is replaced by a look of
cheerfulness, tho mind ceases to de?
spond, and flesh is developed upon the
attenuated frame. There is no exag?
geration in this statement. It is as
true as that the system is subject to
disease. Were proofs required to sub?
stantiate tho reality of the comprehen?
sive effects of the Bitters, there is pro?
bably not in existence a medioice in
favor of whioh such a mass of concur?
rent testimony, from the most respoot
able sources, could be adduced. Bnt
the efficacy of the nation's alterative
and invigorant has been a matter
of nniversul knowledge too long
to need any such oorroboration.
The foot that it has itslargest
sales in thoso portions of the
North and South Amerioan continents,
Mexioo and the West Indies, in which
atmospheric influences prejadioi.il to
health exists, proves what oottUdenoe
is felt in its remedial and protective
virtues. In localities whore fevers of
an intermittent type prevail especia?j,
it has come to be regarded as an in?
dispensable necessity. F19f3?l
That Beautiful Girl.?Diseases of
the blood are legion, the whole body
