At which period this tale open* was in the month of March, lSAO. Upon a plateau of solid rocr that ever looked the sea, on the western coast of Ire land, t'.iere stood % very pretty cottage, the envy of half the country round. It com manded a magnificent view of the lea, and was partially sheltered on the west side from the fierce blasts of the Atlantic ocean, by a verj’ high chain of mountains, that stretch ed far away until they became blended with the horizon. The wind, which had beon blowing freshly off the land all the forenoon, suddenly chang ed to the southwest during a eveninc, driving ihe sea furiously along the beach, i> d scattering the foam high and broad across the lowland. The clouds, too, as sumed a more laden hue, and large drops of r&.u acre occasionally borne in the blasts, indeed, the t vcn.ng boro every indication of j culminating in what mariners term a “dirty night.” It still wanted an hoar of midnight, and the storm raged wildly without. Inside tbs dwelling, upon a low couch, lsy a sick man, who ever and anon turned re dessly iron side to side, as if seeking relief in change of posture, whilst seated before a small table in the centre of the room, was a young girl some fourteen years old, with long goluea ringlets, which Grayed over her shoulders. She was engaged in reading. “Open the window shutters and let me again look out upou the night,” said tht in valid. “There is no starlight, fa'.her. All is dark without.” “How I long for the light of day. Ars there no tidings from the pier f’’ “None. The steamer has not yst ar rived.” “It is a fearful night to be at sea on this coast.” “It is.” . “Caa you see the ‘Tuscar’liglit fJ “I cannot. Once within the passing hour I thought I obs'*ved the white li.ht.” “But not the red t” “Not the red.” “Then it must hare been a delusion, for the ‘Tuficir’ revolves, aud the red and white ! lights alternate.” “I kno”. father,” “It was a meteor, perhaps disseminating 1 its expiring effulgence.” I “Perhaps so." “The sea runs too high to-night to aee the I light. Trim the lamp and cast mors coals j upon the fire; the air is chilly.” “Do you know, Ninna,” said the auflhrev, 1 after a moment’s pause, “that this night forcibly reminds me of that ter-ihle disas ter which happened on this coa . ten yean ago r” “Do you allude to the loss of the East In disroac t” “Yes. I cannot tell why it ia that my mind has been continually recurring to the •object all the afternoon. I wish that Er nest was safe at home.” “He soon will be, father.” “May heaven grant it.” “What was the name of that man so intimately connected with that disaster V* in quired Ninna, anxious to call her father's at tention from her brother. “Sherrick. He was a wild, reckless fel low, of good education, who had run through a liberal patrimony left him by his father, and tben be became the associate of disreputable characters. Indeed it had been whispered many times that ba was impli cated in smuggling transactions along this I coast.” “1 have now almost forgot the particulars i of that wreck—1 was so young at lbs time— but 1 remember it waa something very dread ful.” “Dreadful is no name for it. The mind which conceived such a hell-born project waa only fit to inhabit the infernal regions. Not even Satan himself, if he baa taxed his wicked ingenuity to the utmost, eoald have procured anything more diabolical. Hu manity shudders at the enormity of the of fence. It was a wild, stormy aight, like the present, not a star was visible in the heavens, when Sherrick lighted a false beacon on the headland, bait a mile from thia, sad decoyed a first-dess last ladia man amaaget the rocks. Every coal on heard psriehad, and the ship was literally orofcsn into fragments. The eoeet for miles waa a trews with her timbers and por tions of her rich merchandise, from which I “I had no idea that human nature waa so vile.” “Vile! God grant that yoa nsay never know one hundreth part of yoor father's **• perieace in that raapeei.” Both ceased talking, as if by mtmd caa sont, and the invalid round off to sleep. 3 Half an hour intervened, and ha (till slept. The hands of the clock pointed to the figure twelve on the dial, whan a loud report from o oonnoo announced the arrival of the eteem ar. The Invalid slowly opened bia eyes and ■aid: "The Lord be taanked for bia gnat mer oiea.n la ten minuted afterward the w at oh-dog growled eoopidoealy outside, at some person approaching. "It mast he Bm«st,” said Kiona, quickly rising from her scat “His step is not so hsavy, and the deg knows him.' “But you target father that the night is dark and atoimv, an 1 perhaps both are be wildff9de>> A loud kaook at the door aiUooad further discussion upon the subject, whilst the chained dog barked incessantly, making several abortive attempts to reaah he new comer. The door baring been opened, in walked a tall man of moat unprepossessing appearance with bleok hair and a large flowing beard. He wore a slouched bat which partly con cealed a deep scar on one side of bia faoa. A heavy boat cloak and high boots, worn out side the pantaloons, oomplated bis exterior costume, while in his right hand he carried s heavy sword cane. Having curtly apologised to Ninas for his intrusion, ha approached tbs fire to warm himself, for bis clothes vers drenched with the raia. In doing this, however, be acci dentally exposed a leathern girdle which he wore round his waist, carrying two pistols, such as were used at that period in tarnish ing holsters. “ ’Tie s rather rough night out here, but it might be woree in the colonies. What do you say, old fellow V said the stranger, fa miliarly addressing the sick man “My father does not uodsrstanJ you, Sir,” answered Ninna. “Perhaps not.’’ “Are you a stranger in these parte ?” ask ed Ninna, not well plea.'?d with the man’s rude style of address. “I might say yes, although '.hat would not be quite correct. I have been absent from the locality for some years.” “Then you have been travelling?” “Travelling ! Yes, at the expense of the British government, and by the gratuitous offices of yo«r father there,’’ said the man, sigTiificantl “You d n’t know me, Fielding, I pre sume ?” said he, afi — a moment's pause. “Know you,” deliberated the sick man, “I think I do. Your name is—” “Sherrick 1” added the stranger in a stern voice, completing the sen tense. Ninna started at the dreadful name. “How have you found your way. hither T" caked Fielding, eelraly ; 'you surely have not been pardoned ?” “■soaped from the colony, that’s all Knocked my keeper’s bruins out with s piece of sold iron, and gave the authorities lag bail for my honesty. Yen Diemen’s Land had grown diataetetal to me. You see I hare got my eccentricities.” “ Wnat object brings you here ? Why do you disturb me at thie time of night ?” “I have merely ce'ied in to pay you a friendly visit, and cs’icol an old obligation. That’s all,” and be laughed with bitter irony. “ What .3 it that you desire P* ‘‘I desire ten years of serfdom spent in Van Diemen’s Land. Hark, Fielding 1 you have caused the sun of my life to go down whilst 1 was still young. What will com pensate for throe thousand six huudraJ and fifty days blotted from the calendar of my existence * What will remunerate for tue iron chains that bound my lees and ost into my flesh, or for the robber’s jacket that de filed my beck f I answer, blood I It was your cursed testimony that placed me in the felon’s cell, and consigned me to a felon's ig nominy sod exile.” As tbe man spoke the muscles of his chest rapidly rose and fell, indicating tbe terrible oooflict that was raging within. “Your crime has been a terrible one,” in tarpoaed Ninos, ^tempting to divert the cur rent of his Sc anger from bar father. “Hal y'-- allude to the transaction of that tempest nous night ?” “Ido.” “I was peer,” urged the wretch, halt in vindication of his offence. “Would you have mb starve, with such a golden prise within iny grasp f The conventionalities of life I despised, just as the rich had despised me. All this hypocritical cant about honesty is mere moonshine. I have been honest too long.

Mr. Robert ArrutCAiru examined, icoanurro. j You want a eompetencs during the aetive time ol r man’s life with enough to lay by provision for the future f For every indus troua man. Thera was another thing that I wished to refer to. Mr. Mault, when asked whether men join our society for the benefits alone or whether our benefits induce them to join. Yes, they do, and that of course the operation of our societies, sometimes leads to men being cut off from friendly ben efits, and therefore it deters men from do ing what otherwise the/ would do. For in stance, Mr. Mault says, “Man who bare worked for me for a long series of years, have stated that they cannot act as ther would wish towards me, which would be in a vert friendly spirit, but they muet act with their society,becan -c otherwise it would cut them off from tba eick benefit and auner- , annuatioo and other benefits.” He 2 -» en to give a case where a man (this is a case in the building trades I take it, but I do not knov what trade he refers to) stated to him that bis sooiety broke ap and could not pay him bis superannuation benefit. I think that j that statement should be tested. I believe that there is no society in couneetion with j the building trade that has a superannuation except our own, and when ours was started such was Mr. Msult’e position that he had not been long enough in bnstneas for any man to have made that statement to him. i cannot think that it waa intended to apply to ©or sooiety, because judging from the number of years thst Mr. Mault was in and out of business, and taking tbe dates into consideration, be could not have had a man in his employ a long scries of yrsrs. If there are any new socie ties in connection with the building trade who have a superannuation benefit, I think that Mr. Maul! should in fairness point them out. Mr Mault—I did not mention that case at all in connection with the building trail- s. Some commissioner asked me if I ever heard of a ease where a society failed to meet its superannuation. 1 said that I had, and be lieved that I knew a case of such s Society in uiy own town. Thst is s general statement, but I will get the name of tbe society parti cularly. Witness—Do I understand Mr. Msult to ssv distinctly thst it was not a trade soci ety. Mr. Mault—I do not know whether it was a trade society or not, it was a society of workingmen in Coventry, and I beard of this from tbe gentleman who employed the men ; be sgid that some old man he bad em ployed bad gone on to the box a few weeks before, and after being three or fonr weeks on tbe box the box had failed and the poor man was adrift on the world without any provision for his old age. Witness—If Mr. Mault gives the name of the society I shall be satisfied. I am very glad to hear from him that it was not in connexion with our trade that be made thst statement, because there has never been a society in tbe trade previous to ours which ever attempted a superannuation benefit, and we r it out on tbe model of the Amalga tad Engineers. The witness withdrew. Tuesday, Aug. 1,1S67. Mr. Rober. Applegarth further examined. Chairman—I think there are a few mat ters in respect of which you wish to supple ment your evidence ? Tea, there are as to matters oi fact. 1 have been very careful in regard to tbe information which I have laid befirre this commission to have it correct, and as lucre are two matters on which there was some doubt expressed when 1 was last examined, I have in one case searched for and found documents which I think will show that my statements were correct; and in tho other I have instituted inquiries that will, i believe, lead to tba same result. In tbs first plaoe, Mr. Maalt stated last Tues day that they had not a branch of their as sociation at W areas ter. I was then attempt ing to show thst tbe General Builders’ As sociation was responsible for a strike at Worcester, and I said that there had never bean auoh a thing before. Now I have do cuments which I think prove that there was a branch of that association at that time in Woroaeter. Bars ie one beaded “General Builders’ Association, Worcester Branch, May 21st, 1S67,” and it reads as follows: ‘‘To tbe Wostern Operative Joiners and Car penters’ Society. We undertake to abide by tbe award that may be made in arbitration bet', sen tbe employers and workmen in re ference to tbe present dispute, and also that i each award, whenever given, shall take af fect from the day work is generally resumed. Joseph Wood, chairman of the Worcester Builder*’ 1 otootarien.” 'Ton will eee that that lei w, aa i hare already observed, u headed “General Builders’ AaeociaUoo,Wor oeeter Brand'I hart here also a copy of the Builders’ Trade Circular, which Mr. Mauit is connected with, and it states that “this association is now established in the following towns,** and I And that Worcester is amongst them. 1 flnd.also that in a pam phlet which Mr. Mauit was good enough to send me the other day, Worcester is eunu m era ted amongst other places aa haring a branch of the society in it, eud Mr. J. H. Waldron is stated to be the secretary of that branch. I bare here a letter signed by him in refers nee to that dispute. 1 hare likewise a code of rules issued May 10th, 1887, head ad “General Builders’ Association, Worces ter Branch.” It is a coda of working rules signed by Mr. Wood, chairmen, by Mr. Joee laod, honorary secretary, and by the em ployer* of Worcester. I think that it is pret ty conclusive proof that theca must be a branch of the General Builders’ Association St Worcester at that time. What is the last matter to which yon wish ta refer t The next ssatter is as tea doubt expressed ia referauce to ths tats of wages that I gave for the engineers ef Lynn, name ly. **»• for B5A hours for society men, and far non-iscfey men 28s. for 60 boars. A M to whether that was I Branch, Me. 131, Jnly 26th, 1837. Dmr dr, I beg to confirm the statement made In the •ebeduie. Engineers in onion get:? 'jr lo cality We., 32s., Me., and 83*. for 53* houre’ work ; non-onion men get from 90s. to 26a for 60 boon’ work; so that the rate given in the eebedolc is a fair average.” That is signed by Mr. Walker, the secretary. Mr. Merivain—-What sbont the 83 boors, have you got that confirmed f There was not a doubt expressed shout that. After receiving that letter I waited on Mr. Allan and found that he had received a return 18 months sgo, which said-that the svarage waa 87s. a week. I thought it very strange that the same man (for it waa the seme man who gav# him that) should give s return of S7s. s week, and then in this letter oeoflrm the statement that it waa now 88c. Certainty there wna 18 months botwsnn the twe, hut the difference waa too great to be explained by that. So I again wrote to our secretary, snd I have this letter to ley before the Com mission from the secretary of the Lynn Branch of the engineers :—“July 81st, 1867. —In answer to your letter of the 30th to Mr. Leach, I beg to say that I have made every possible inquiry respecting the rate of wages of society and non-society men who are work ing in Lynn and I must repeat what I before stated, vis., that the lowest wages paid to our men now are 28s. per week, and but two are receiving so little aa that, and the highest, u near ae I can poeeibly say, are 87a. I know that there are some getting 36s., and I know the lowest are 28s. Now I think it is not a very difficult matter to make the abovo rites average more than 27s. When 1 filled up the schedule Mr. Allan showed you, we took the average of all the trade, whether society men or not” (so you see he took the very lowest and the very highest, and probably ?7s. at that lime would be a Cur average). “Now with respect to the non -union meo all I can , say is that I got the information from s man who worked several years journeyman at one of the non-society shops in Lynn be fore he joined our society, and he never did get more than 21s. per week, and he says there are hat one or two who get so much as 26s. So by taking it from 20a. to 2fls. I think we oannot be far out of the thing. The very man who told me this might have gone to work again in bis old shop, for I should have told you that he left when he joined ua, had it net been for the rate of wages he requited, which quite frightened his Id employer. Since he left him he hss been getting 7s. or 8s. more per week. I shall be most happy to give you any infor mation that lies in my power, snd to the ut most f wish to give you the truth. 1 ehould he very sorry to place you in a false position through ft careless or rotrue statement of mine. I must not omit to tall you that on the place where I am employed there are non-union men employed and who never get more than 20s. per week. I have been there between twelve and thirteen yeare, so 1 ha/« had a chance of seeing and knowing a little of those thing*. I know two men now work ing there, smiths, who have been one 45 and the other near 40 years, and £1 per week is their pay, and they never had more, but they bad 18s. for years be ore they got a nee of 2s.; so they tell me themselves. We have several non-nnion men in our place, whom 1 »m daily working with, and there is not one who gets more thsn 21s. per week, 1 assure you, good workmen too. I mention this to strengthen our former statements. The schedule you sent to Mr. Leach to fill up is rather different to the one Mr. Allan showed yo j. I believe the one you sent was to get tli* difference between the society and Don aocietj men’s wages ; the one I tilled up waa ft general of all in our trade.” The witness withdrew. The Japanese Carpeaters aad Took. Japanese carpenter*—a number of whom hare been exhibiting their akill in getting up the stage of a San Francisco theatre for aooa pany of gymnasts frOm Yeodo—have an ad vantage over American mechanics in the fact that they hare four bands instead of two, thsir u>es being as handy as their fingers; but they gain nothing by it, because they make no use of work benches or vioe. If a Japanese carpenter wants to sharpen a saw, be squat* or his hams, pieces the hack of the tool to be iperated upon on the ground, gripe one end of the saw with his left hand, seizes the other with the toes of his left foot, and goes to work with as much confidence as an American carpenter ata bench. Their tools are not like American tools, though they hare a faint similarity, showing 'hat all tools hare a common parentage, a ether their inventor was Tubal Cain or t m r ‘her artificer. AU Japanese saws arc eh a *d like butchers’ clearer*. The handle i« no the haodk of a clearer, but flattkh, as A whit tled out of a piece of inch-board; the mettle shank of the saw is driven into that of the handle, aad the whole is secured by beiDg wrapped with a fine split eane. The metal of the saw k about tbs substance of oar saws, but the teeth are narrower, giving more of them to the inch, and much longer. They are all pointed towards the handk,and cut wood like so many hooka When a Ja panese wants to rip a plank, he plsoes it acrose anything that will elevate the end a few inches, then stands on the wood aad cuts it by seizing the cleaver-looking saw and pulling it towards him. Tbns, by a number of short, quick, up-strokes, he gete through a pkok, not so speed ily,but quits as effectual ly as tu American mechanic would with the long, low, down stroke* of the rip saw. The planes are small, with single irons, and no handies. The plane* are shorter, lighter, and the wood ehallower than oars, being generally not mose than an inch deep. To plane a piece of wood they generally lay it on the gre 'ud, squat on their hands, hold it fast with their toes, and work the plane with both bands towards them. To drill a bok they hare * short awl, inserted In the end of a round stick eight or nine inches long. They take the wood between their toes, squat as before, and m*k" the hole, by rub bing the handle of the awl between their heads, in less lime than oae of our carpen ters would drill oae with s gimlet. Their hammers are eolid cylindrical pi*ceo, not made shapely with waists and graoefal out lines like ours. They bars the same fist sided bandies as tne saws. The Japanese have iron squares, not unlike the American squares, marked with degress. Their mea sures are brass, vary light aad fluted. On one side of the inch, or What stands for the inch with us, is one and three-sixteenths In ches, and divided into ten parts. Oa the other side is a different seek, measurim one and tbirteen-sixteeoths inches, and di Tided into twelve psrta. Animal* ot Australia. All the quadrupeds of the antipodes sleep by day and range abroad by night, so that men who were busily at work between sun rise and * onset, and only too glad to go bom* and sit down, were not likely to see much of them, except through the agency of aoaroa. It is seldom that one sees an Australian qua druped by daylight, but their invisibility is no proof of their non-existence.

In mortal terror, Charlie jumped Into the water, which was narrow though deep, scrambled across to the other bank, and left the snake ( in possession of the fleld. We always wore sheep-skin leggings, coming np to the thigh, for fear of snakes, but curiooaly enough, during aU my wanderings in tba Tesmaaiao bush I never encountered one. In Victoria I hare came across them frequently. How ever, several were teen on the flat, marshy ground near our locality. I was one day walking alongside of Tom the bullock driver, when ha said : “Just watch my bullocks; they always aby when they pass that old stump.” Sure enough they did ao. A few days after a large busk snake, seven feet long, was seen going into the stamp. The stump wsa grubbed up, when the snake vu found and killed. The black snake grows to a great sise, but it ia not poisonous. It is, however, very irritable. Two laborers were engaged to puli down an old kangaroo fence (a fence made of logs and limbs ot trass rolled tagsther ia so styled), whan a great black •nake came oat and chased them, ao they declared, right across the field, although they fled in terror. With regard to siaai.tr creatures, we had plenty of frogs in the crsek which run near our hut, and they nightly sang the ehorua of “Brekekekekex koax-koai.” just as Aristo phanes describes it. Whea the weather grew warm the ante became numerous and troublesome. Of these the bull-dog ant ia the most trouble* ome, a pugnacious little monster, tally an inch tong, which will run as savagely at a bit of stiok, if yon hold it to him, as his eaniae n am wake would run at a bull. There are two aorta, on# rad and one black, which, if they meet, will fight to death. I can only compare their stiag to the aenaation caused by laying a hot coni on 1 your flesh. But fortunately the pain,though | intense, does not last long. There is another kind of ant, much smaller in six.', of a dusty black color, whose sting causes very little i pain at the moment of incui e, but after wards the whole forearm swells and becomes numb, and tbia unpleasont slate of things one* '-sted with me for a week, llow in tense must tbs poison be lodged in a mert corner of the body of such a dununi’ive cres-, ture,which nevertheless courses through the tissues of a man and causes bim such incon venience !
