Press Assooistiopii—Telegraph.,^-Copyright. jßpceived ; March 30, .8.16 a.m. ’ ’ LONDON. March 29, ■'"Mairk Gaunt,'the novelist, in’-a letter to the. Times, quotes the proVerb—“The frontier is hard on women and horses.” Australia, he adds, would not be won without hardships; Nowhere does individuality tell more markedly than in the immigrant. Those-not* prepared to imitate the earliest settlers’ risk of something, and incur some deprivation for their qwn future, had better stay and starve comfortably in old England. The letter justifies the Australian farmers, and asks whether an English mistress engaging a cook-would not dismiss her on the discovery that she was likely to become a mother.
