urn from Australia, sound in health and limb. We shall see, your Majesty, I said. I have a big task on hand for you, when you are ready, were his last words. In October, 1891, we left England for a visit to Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania, travelling via Brindisi, some twelve miles from which our train came into collision with a goods train. Stanley thus describes the accident:-- At 3.45 P. M., we were rattling along at forty miles an hour, when the train jostled dangerouslys. Will you give my regards to Mrs. Stanley, and tell her that the interesting photograph of yourself which you were good enough to send me has been handsomely framed and adorns the Public Library. Yours truly, G. Grey. February 12th, Tasmania. A curious thing happened this morning. I am obliged to rise at an early hour on account of habits contracted during more than twenty years of African travel, and to avail myself of the silent hours of the morning to procure an exercise-walk f

orn in Waterford, Ireland, Aug. 3, 1823; was educated in Ireland and in England. In 1846 he became one of the leaders of the Young Ireland party. He was already distinguished for his oratory, and was sent to France to congratulate the French Republic in 1848. On his return he was arrested on a charge of sedition and held to bail. Afterwards charged with treason, he was again arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death. That sentence was commuted to banishment for life to Van Diemen's Land, from which he escaped, and landed in New York in 1852. Lecturing with success for a while, he studied law, entered upon its practice, and in 1856 edited the Irish news. When the Civil War broke out he raised a company in the 69th New York Volunteers, and, as major of the regiment, fought bravely at Bull Run. Early in 1862 he was promoted brigadiergeneral of volunteers, and served in the Army of the Potomac in the campaign against Richmond that year. He was in Richardson's division
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Torrens's land system, (search)
Torrens's land system, A plan of land transfer drawn up by Sir Robert Torrens, and by him put in operation in Australia. It is now used in all the Australian provinces, in Tasmania and New Zealand, and in British Columbia and Ontario, and has been attempted in various parts of the United States. Its object is to make the transfer of land as simple as that of bank stock, and render the title of the holder thereof as free from danger or difficulty as ordinarily the title of the holder of bank stock is to the shares he holds. A land registry is established under the control of an officer known as the master of titles, by whom all land transactions are registered. A title may be registered as absolute or possessory; if absolute, the title must be approved by the master of titles before the ownership can be registered in fee-simple.

French call incisive. Very touching were some of their histories, as they told them to me, while pausing sometimes on the lake. Grossi gives a true picture of such a man in his family relations; the story may be found in Marco Visconti. On this lake, I met Lady Franklin, wife of the celebrated navigator. She has been in the United States, and showed equal penetration and candor in remarks on what she had seen there. She gave me interesting particulars as to the state of things in Van Diemen's Land, where she passed seven years, when her husband was in authority there. to C. S. Lake of Como, Aug. 22, 1847. Rome was much poisoned to me. But, after a time, its genius triumphed, and I became absorbed in its proper life. Again I suffered from parting, and have since resolved to return, and pass at least a part of the winter there. People may write and prate as they please of Rome, they cannot convey thus a portion of its spirit. The whole heart must be yielded up to it. It i

Death of Sir William Don. --It is our painful task to announce the untimely death of Sir William Don, Bart, who expired at Webb's Hotel, shortly after two o'clock yesterday morning. Sir William left Melbourne in very bad health on a professional visit to Tasmania, in the hope of benefiting by the change of climate. During his stay in Hobart Town he has been prevented by debility from taking any leading part in theatrical business, although he sustained several characters with great effect. In the burlesque of "Kenilworth," the part of Queen Elizabeth was assigned to him, and his reluctance to disappoint the public induced him to appear at the first representation of this place on Saturday night last, although, as he stated to his audience, he had to drag himself, from his bed to do so. This was his last appearance On his leaving the theatre on Saturday he was seized with a violent attack of the malady from which he subsequently died, and from that time continued in a very prec
