_ARARAT IN .AUSTRALIA.
•
BY J. pmiBBIE. •
. The value_ of names is relative and
quickly estimated by the relationship of
ideas they conjure up. By the 'above
we are led to Asia—to the cradle of
Bible stories; and from there 1.:rterriciry
carries us back • to the. old log house,
where, by the fireside, \VC first- learned
to read them. Who has not .read the
remarkable stery of Noah and the- Ark?
• Thesuccessive waves of time ha,veburiede
those days of childhood deep in the
depths of the mighty pasta but the
stories still remelt; and will survive the
wreck of creeds. The family circle
gathers no loner by the open tire; and
the Pacific—'.' that symbol of drear im-
mensity "—rolls -between us and home.
Some of you may say .this it tee senti-
mental. • Well Reverse positions.
Come to Ararat and look, back over ; ten
thousand miles, and sentiment may
sometimes creep on you too. If not,- I
don't care to have much to do with you.
-Whenwe have to find an ephemetal
home among the hatels, public houses,
boarding houses, taverns, innse " pubs "
and coffee palaces of Australia, we do
not always feel gay and thaughtless.
Surroundings exercise an unconscious in-
fluence upon us, and we sometimes move
as we are moved. I know not in how
many points the original mount of
Sacred History resembles its Australian
patronymic. This leers its sugar -loaf
head, in the b-aekground, above the
town; but is not as many hundred feet
high as the other is thousands. You
who have a map will find the place
about a hundred and fifty miles north-
west of Melbourne, in the Western Dis-
trict of Victoria. The town, or borough
here, is about the size of Seeforth. It is
dull now, but has seen better days like
many other mining tome. . Twenty
years ago the populationWiuding those
under canvas, was upwards of 90,000:
Mining is, played out—the Miners have
decamped; and the alluvial,
nearly as white as ashes, make every-
thing look barren and. desolate.
The weather is beautiful, but the sea-
son is very. dry. The runs and .pad-
docks are Jest the color of the earth.
Sheep; are dying by the scare, and every
squatter and farmer is a .pessimist at
heart. When Booth, :• the temperance
Maurer, was here, he told the people to •
" curse the weather less and dem the
rivers: more if they wanted. Australia to
prespendt He also -.told'. them that
"Americans got credit for . doing a good
deal of blowing; but that they would
have to rise" very early and wer•k very
hard to beat the colonials." But a new
epoch is about to dawn from which
Australian history may tfrow brighter.
Two Canadians—Chaffey Brothers --who
have hada great deal Of experience with
irrigation schemes in. the. United .States,
have arranged with the Victoria Goe-
erament for a quarter of a million tares,
along the Murray river, on which to
start an irrigation colony. They expect,
to have two • hundred men at work in a:
short time.; and if successful in carrying
out this gigantic undertaking, as they
no doubt will be,. a 'practical lesson, lit -
tie short of a miracle, will be set before
the people of these colonise What •
Canadians have, done, they can do again;
and ;where they take hold- they generally
lea.de - their impress. Of the 'Metsts:
Chaffey you will hear more by-atidihy. •
We will now return to Arai -at, and.
lunch at Scott's hotel, which is kepi
an Irish widow of more. then -ge
girth and calibre. The Various ins
tions and public buildings are simile
thoie of other Australian towns, mivith
the ; exception of the lunatin asYlum,-
which is th,e fifth in the colony, and
• worthy of notice. It stands about a'
mite out on a convenient hill, and it
surrounded by a beautiful greve Of -ever
greens, pines, firs and wattles. In the
distance, it looks like some - grand old
Mansion,- where,a Lord might luxuriate'
amid the sylvan shade. .The.appearanee
of the building is white, and upoa doter
examination is found to .be buil of te-
neeted brick. It is capable- of

were very clean and tidy looking. After
ascending a zigzag stair we reached the

Some were lying flat on the ground.
Some , were desoribing zigzag circles,
one was kneeling and in the attitude of

and gesticulating wildly, Others cursing
and swearing, and two were squaring up
for a fight. , Hardly a day passes with-

—Three residents of Fullerton passed
away last week. They were Mrs. Jehn
IL Metier, who had a ieng time of ill-
ness and suffering : Mra. Stacey, aged
85 years, and Dr. Burn, who had also
reached the advanced age of 85 years.
The Doctor had been a nuch retpected
resident of the village for nearly :-10 years.
—A Mock Parliament, instituted some
weeks ago in Mitchell, in the interest of
the Ladies' Aid Souiety of Knox church,
was closed on Friday tight. The col-
lectiuns at door at the several meet-
ings replenished the Ladies' Aid Treas-
ury to the amount of $80. The subject
of debate was "Self -Government for
Ireland," and a number of the most in-
telligent citizens took part in it.
cco
is filll
with
only a million of a population sho Id re-
quire five institutions of this kind, ben
sides an hospital in every, town of about
three thousand people. The aggregate
accommodation of the five asylums' will
be :of or on about 4,000, and I am told
they are all full. Imagine over 4,000
idiots, imbeciles, and those who have
"gone cranky," kept at Government
expense, except the few who are able t
pay, and look for the cause. Some of the
causes assigned are drink, money, love
and religion; but every superintendent
I have met mentions drink first. The
mayor of the town told me I would have
no difficulty in getting through the astd
lam if I wished ; so I went.up yesterday
morning and interviewed the superin
tendent, Dr. Armstrong, and he gave
me an order to go through ;with one of
the attendants. I am always a little
timid when visiting jails or institutions
of this kind lest something should occur
to. detain me. It is said "-there is but a
-step between the sublime and the ridieu-
lops," and I often think the difference
between those who are cenfined and
many who are loose may ,be ;just the re-
sult of an accident. The first fellow we
met bade me "good morning, sir," and
wanted to tell me about being reporter
for the Czar of Russia. He said, "He
was the only one in the colony who was
licensed to forge cheques on the Bank of
England, and that he had lots of money
hid over yonder." pointing to the far
corner of the yard. The next big fellow
was very sellen looking and was taking
his Morning constitutional in a strait
jacket. He committed some crime and
got off on the plea of insanity. The at
tendaeat told me this class of lunatics is
always the .hardest to do with. They
are the knowing ones, who exult in the
fact that no matter what they do, they
cannot receive any further punishment.
