NEW AUSTRALIA. ADELAIDER February 16.
Letters recently- received from New Australia show that things are rapidly drifting back, and Mr Gilbert Casey is back whipping up the scattered flock, but the members are riven by conflicting opinions. Some of (he most cheerful left in sadness. Not a ray of light can be seen ahead. Only the tmshm-.m's dread of being laughed at by* the city scoffar restrains those who could raise money from silently going away. The community is getting purely down te a plane no higher than that of the poor natives, who, less than three jesrs sgo, oil bo heartily despised. One of the pioneers of the settlement, and one of the strongest supporters of the communal system, h»s come to the conclusion that Communism with men and women as at present constituted will not do. He adds that the future is as dark as the inside of an infidel.
