COLONIAL PATENT DRILL.Thie well-knownImplement hag been greatly improved since last ieason. and ii

now made to cow grain or turnipa bb may be required, with or withoutmanure. Iti"implicity in constructionh»« led experts to pronounce it to be far superior to anyotherDrill on the market, It particularly excels in the following points, viz:

—1. FOLDING BOX (Our [Own Patent), which gives every facility fo

cleaning, etc.2. MANURE DISTRIBUTOR (Our Own Patent), Thi» i« an improvement which

cannot be "urpaosed fore rtainty and r«gnlarity of delivery.3. OUR PATENT THROUGH STEEL AXLE, which enablestbe driving power

to be Uken from both wheels, instead of one, and entirely prevents all iidedraught. This ina special advantage at headlandi.

4. OUR STEEL FRAME. This being made of Steel ii much lighter andstronger thaa thoao constructed of wood. Thii ii a considerable advantageas every furmer will admit.

WeMake these Drills of allsizes and widthsand for flat and ridge work.

SATURDAY, 10TH SEPTEMBER,1892.

Tin: Land Billit is now clear will passthe House and he. transmitted in dv*3course to the Legislative Council, in avery different form to th.it in which itwas introduced,and we gather from theattitudeof the Opposition leaders thatit will not meet with serious obstructionin that branch of the Legislature. Thiflin itself will prove a checkmate toMinisters in their scarcely veiled en-deavour to Win? (he Council i.to directan'ngoniim with the representativeChnrrih;-r, and so justify tho .appoint-ment of a large iiumber of membersuuder the pretext of bringing the twoH(-tißeß into h.-umony. We must saythat we are considerably puzzled nt theaction of the Minister of Lands in pro-posing to substitute a lease in per-

I petuity, at a permanently fixed rental,! for the " perpetual !ea je," a.s providedfor in the originaldraftof his bill. Fromthe point of view cf the land reformersof his party, it must be regarded as anentirely retrognde >t>ip, tince the landwouldpractically be alienated from the

ICrown at a price equivalent to presentIunimproved value ; and the

" unearnedi increment," which has always been de-clared to be the property of the people,secured to the tenant,:since there is

! no provision for periodical revaluation.! !t is true t-iat this important aimnd-'

ment, since adopted by the House, wa.sImade by the Waste Lands Committee,I but this committee is so constituted,|having indeedbeen packed by the (-iov-

! eminent that it does little more fian] record th? will of the Minister, whoI himselfproposed the lease inp-rp"tuity;

—an indeed he intimated his inirn'.ion

" of doing in his speech on the secondi reading of the bill. fhe reasons liepreferred for this new departure may

j he briefly sumnurised, and are wellworthy of deliberate attention. Thedifference, he said, between the !KKIyears lease and freehold tenure wouldbe thi«, that th.t land emU notbe disposed of for tho purpose ofcreating large estates, "that is that" the Crown willhave the right to ?ay

i " that they will not transfer one of these" leasts to the owners of large anas ofI" land

—once land is disposed of under"' Crown grant you have no moro power"

over it,and one individual ein pur-*' chase as innch land as lie chooses ;"whereas a Crown tenant will not l>eah c to transfer his lease withoutpractically the assent of tbe Govern-ment, and only to a person who ennnifike a declaration that, with the areaincluded in the lease, lm wonld not hothe owner of more than 2uoo acres. Inmoving on the Ist inst, that the bill hocommitted, the honourable gentleman,na.lvertontly no doubt, exposed hisihaud, stating that he consideredit tobe " necessary for the Government to" keep fome control over tbe settlers !"The meaning of this is notdifficult tofathom, and it may well be imaginedthat nnderan Administration, such as isnow inpower,Crown tenants not of the" tight colour" would have a livelytime of it, and have to be very ran fulto keep strictly within the conditions oftheir leases.

As we have indicated above, the Stateunler the new system of the disposalof, CV>wn lands w'll be in no better positionthan if tbe freehold were purted with,and f,om ft financial point of view will!);> at. a distinct disadvantage, nine-? the

J land revenue would,during the periodwl^n presumably it will be im-poitant to the colonial finance,

i bo seriously diminished by thecessation of cash sales. We mayt\ke. it for granted that,under the policyof the party now represented in theGovernment, although,ostensibly, selec-tors willhave the option of immediatepurchase,or of occupation with right ofpurchase, they will have little chance of

, Igetting goad land except on lease inIperpetuity. The Treasury consequently

willonly receive the four p^r cent on thecash valueat the lime of the issue ofhe leases. But how will the selectorsbe affected who take up land under the

j appHrently exceedingly advantageousJ cutidiiions wh'ch areoliered ? I' is tru^that they will get the land on very easyterms, and that the conditions do notseem orrrous, but nevertheless the occu-pation will be conditional— and perpetu-ally 8">. The title therefore can bo byno means eecure ; will be at the mercyof tho Land Boards, which, it is pro-

posed through tlie method of the olec-'

tiiin, be made political bodies in unisonwith the dominant party of the day.The hillauthorwfl the Boards, for whatniny appear to them good and Huffieipntreasons, to forfeit or camel leases, andno transfer can be effected with'ut theirsanction.

'h*> experienceof the last twoyears sufficiently indicates how nuchpowers might ba used, aud we are convinced that these loaned iv perpetuitywouldhardlybe regarded as mortgage-able HecurineH. No land in any specialsettlement,it is to be noted, is to be dis-posed of otherwise thtm on lease in perpetuity j co that tho ne»' Hynteni id intended to be entirely comprehensive.

The bill has not, otherwise than asregards the leasingof rural landd, beenmaterially altered by the Waste LnndsCommittee. The interest of a licenseeor lessee in land held under any tenureis not, during the currency of the first'twelve months of sncii lease cr licenseto be transferrablo at law, or in equity,ort,o be capable of b-'i'ig charged, ' en-'' cumberscl, entailed, or taken in exivu-" tion in any manner ;

" hut after suchperiod the interest of the licensee orlessee may be transferred, subject to theprovision of the bid. The totalamountof land set apart for epecial settlementia not to exceed 250,000 acres in anyone year— under the law as its Btandsonly 100,000 acres can be bo set «side

—and no person is to he capableof becom-ing the holder of any land within aspecial settlement exceeding 320 acreain area. This is no doubt intended toput a stop to the very extensive specula-tion whichis well known to be proceed-ing under the Farm Honnstead Asso-ciation scheme. All town and suburbanlands, and village lands, not beingwithin any village settlement, are re-quired as at present to be offered forsale by auctio.i;but it is provided thaf,if not sold, theymay bo let tor any time,not exceeding 14 years, at a rent notless tiian 5 per cent, on the nppet price,with compHiinaMon for improvements attije expiration«>f the lease. No altera-tions of at;ykind were mn;le in the pro- jvis-ions relating to pastoralMenses. I

Cai.i.k Xi;ws.— The McKinley tariff of theUnited States has not hurt Canada— rather :the reverse, and Britain i.-i said to be re-

'covering from its first effects. The Hank ofAustralasia pays a 12^ per cent, dividend. "

An interview with Mr (ioschen oncolonialmatters has been considerably " hashed up

A labour leader hasspoken in a threatening wayat Broken Hill.Paris working women are seeking reforms.A strike of shipbuilders bis commenced atHair iw-in-Furneas>.

The tickets will be out. to-dayand full particulars announced shortly.

TiikHospital Reunion-— Mr (Junn,secre-tary to the Southland HospitalTiu-st, writesas follows:— "

Your correspondent iv to-day's issue writing rr the danger of deposit-ing hospital rubbish near the Park Schoolhas just cause to complain. My Trust hadnot tlie remotest idea where the contractordeposited therubbish, l.ut will certainly takemeans to have the nuisance obviated."

Bkwakf: '.— A Napier publican was finedthe other day for allowinga game of dice tob:> played in his hotel. The game was

" asbil'iiiu' in and the winner shouts," and atine LT'lOs,costs (LI 14.-i)w,- Ls inllijted.TheKesident Magistrate (Mr Waddell) s.ii 1 tni.sgame needed puttingdown with atirm hand,cind in this case the offence was the greaterIh:o;uis<: the landlord himself took part in thegame.

The infants were about fourmonths old and Dr. (Jiigor, wliohad attendedthem, having satisfied theCoroner that deathin each ca«e was the result of convulsions, noinquest will be held. They hadbeen weaklyfrom birth.

Tin-: Snow Him;.— The annual parade ostallions under the auspices of the A. and 1'Association,has been fixed for Saturday, IstOctober. It is to be hoped owners will re-cogni-c tin1importance of the annual paradefrom apublic point of view and send forwardthe horses. Considering additions recentlymade to thoranks of stud horses the: entriestiiis season shouldbe numerous and the ex-hibits moregenerally of a high class.

SiiKK.r Stkai.ini;.— From an advertisementelsewhere it would appear that the crime ofstealiegsheep is still prevalent. Mr Evansof Winton offers a reward of L'2o for infor-mation, leading to tho convictionof the per-son or persons who habitually help them-selves to small drafts from his Hock. Thisform of robbery is so common, so easilyaccomplished and so difficult of detection,thatno spurious sympathy should restrainthose who can give information from ispeak-in;^ out. Like the horse theives in some partsof the United States,>'ncp theivesin South-land should b-j the aversion of the entirecommunity, ami every honest man, be hoowner of sheep or not should consider him-self bound to hunt down the depredators.

Tin-: Si'K.akkk's Ru.inc.— During the dis-

ciusion on the Inebriates Home bill, intro-duced by Mr Shera, one of ibe members forthe city of Auckland, Mr Fish remarkedthat they had '.lv c^twnrdinary spectacle be-fore them that there was not a singleMinister of tbe Crown in the House, to givethem any direction as to what they ought todo in regard to the measure. Outside the,insult?, as he took it, to the amour />n>/n< ofthe honourable gentleman- Mr Speaker saidhe must ask the honourable gentleman not touse the word '" insult.'' Mr Fish asked then,couldhe u.'O theterm

" indignity." Of coursehe u--id the word "insult" entirely in thePie-wickian sense. He was not sine that by-and-by in tiiat Parliament they would notfind it necessaiy tohave a dictionary besidethem when they were speaking. Mr Speakersaid he was simply carrying out the rules ofParliament. Mr Fish said he had been ainciiili rof Parliatn :nt fur ten years,and he11-.id never heard such a ruling before. MrSpeaker said the honoirablegentlemanknewthat there wa.s a proper way in whieli therulings of the Chair could be brought underthe consideration of tli<" House. His ruling jcould only be brought under the considera-tion of the House in that way,and be wouldnot allow it tobe challenged m any other.

(FROM OIU OWN COI.KESPONUKNT. )

Wki lincTun, Sept. 9.A tot illy needless deuilock occurred in

the House early this n orning through tl ctyrannous artion of the dovernmentin pe.--siiieiuly endeavouring to force the remain-ing cl.uiseM of the Land Bill through com-mit te»- at a single Hitting. Mr Roileston, Srti liny and other numbers determinedtoresist this encroachment on the liberty offree discussion, and would not allow im-portant cliusus to be ct rried by an almostr.-npty House in the small hours of themornitig. The Minister would not consentto report progress, an.l whipped up «nob 'Jiiiit |majority to iv-j;ative any motion :nttiat direction, and the Oppositionstuck i.oth<ir guns and preventedany further pro-gress beingmade ■with the disputed olausfs.The master culminated it fl a.m. in amostdiscreditable scene between Messrs Fergusand Seddon, the former remarkingaudiblytint the latter was

SouthlandCounty Council

Friday, 9th September.

| The monthly meetii gof the Council wasattended l>y Councilors I. \V. Raymond(Churmau), Hast, Baluey, McQueen, Grc«n,McCallum, Fleming, V'ard, and (lerrard.It was resolved that thematter of merging

the Lindhurst Road D.strict in the Countybe held over till the Council is advisedof thefinal settlement of all and claims therein.

T. D. A. Moffett applied for permission tocut a track along th< chain reserve to theMakarewa and Tomoporakaustreams so aato get access to his land.— The Engineer re-ported that, some chai is had been cut,andthe applicant wisheclto remove a few isolatedtrees on theroad leaning to the ford at theTomoporakau,and he recommended tha: helie allowed to do so.

— Agreed to.The resolutions pre\ iously passed levying

general, mining, and H. and C. A. rateswere confirmed.

Mr J. Maealister, solicitor, appeared onbehalf of W. Robertson, farmer, of SouthWyinlham, to ask tr at the Council shouldprovide him with acce:<s to his land, in sup-port of which a pet tionbearing 8-5 signa-tures was presented. Mr Macalister ex-plained that the road line along theriverhad been washedawa), aud that the onlymoans Robertson had of getting to and fromhis property was by t espassing on Doall'aland, for doing which .ie had beenproceededagainst and cast in damages. It w»3 aquestion whether Robertson could notclaim the right of access over Doull'sland, but he thought it better to applyto the Council to give him relief thango to the Supreme Cotrt onappeal. Therewere two ways out of the difficulty,namely,either by bridging the river or by taking apiece of Doull's property for a roadunder thePublic Works Act. — I1 reply to CouncillorMcCallum, Mr Macal.ster said he believer!Robertson would be prepared to pay a por-tion of the cost of p-oviding access.— TheChairmansaid that Rebertaoa'Bposition wasidentical with thatof two or three thousandother settlers in Sout lland. There w;vs areserve aloug the rivei when he bought theliuil, b:it it had been washed away, and liehad then had free aicess through Do-.ill'sproperty,but owingU the gates being fre-quently left open and DoulTs sheep gettingout he hail to put his foot, down, and refuseto allow his land to be trespassedon further.Subsequently Doull nad offered to a.lowRobertson to go through his property at &rent of LIper annum,but the latter refusedthe offer, saying the Council should pay forit. Robertson paidL3a year inrates, andhad L4O spent to give him access by means

: ofa ford, which wasalways available exoeptin time of flood, aud it w;vs absurd to expect

1 the Council to sperd 1,200 to provide abridge for one ratepayer, while it woull l>ostil! more foolish to buy land for aroad alongthe river, with the possibility of its b-»ingwashed awayat anetrly date. The Cl air-man also pointed out that a number of thesignatured were not triose of ratepayer^ inToi Tois ri.ling. IL: moved— " That theCouncil cannot see its way to accede to therequest."'— -A discussi>n followed, in thecourse of which it was pointed out byCouncillors McCallum, Oerrard and lialdeythat tli re was a probability of Robert»oupaying a portion of the cost of the work,and it, was eventually decided to hold thematter ov.ir for amouh in order to ascer-tain whit he was wiling to contribute —At the afternoon sitting a Utter was re-ceived from Mr Macahsier to the effect thatMr Robeitsou was wil ing to contribute >n^-third of thu coat of eecting a light trafliobridge over the Wyndham creek, his con-tributionnot to e.veeec. L30. --It wasdecidedto hold over consideration of the offer, andto apply to the ("overmneut for a granttowards tlie cost uu Icr section IS of thePublic Works Act.

On the motion of Councillor MeCallun itwas resolved —" That the Council protestsagainst theproposal t<> deal with unclaimedliivls as contained in

'The Unclaimed Lands

Act, lyVJ,' as its pro\isions would fall withinjustice- on many porous who are boils tostub liinl-j and who are temporarily un-known.''

Permission was grai ted Robert Cowan tocut firewoodbetween lections (j ami 7, 1lock'.12, Limehills, on condition that he removesslumpand branches.

A petition for work on road from Ilillendto l)ipton was read, and, on tho rccoin-mendatKHi of the Kngineer, it was agreid togravel four of the woist puts.

A number of app ic.itions for works invarious ridings was h.

D. McKenzie and three other settlers complained that the encroachment of gorse orthe public road west of their properties alWinton was becoming a great nuisance.—Actiondeferred till next meeting.It was decided to inform J. Clay and

others, who asked for works at OteramikaBay, that the Council would contributetowards the cost if thepetitioners suppliedthe cash or lalwur necessary to complete thesection cf road required.

The followingsubsidies for the destructionof small birds were granted:— Wallacetown,L215s ;West Plains,L4;Otaraia, L2.

The clerk submitted a report on theWinton drain, stating that as the Minister ofPublic Works had decidedby warrant thatits construction shouldbe undertakenby theWinton Borough Council, no further actioncould be taken in thematter by the CountyCouncil.

W. G. Glover, Otatara, called attention tothe urgent necessity of his being providedwith access to his land, the track he hadusedbeing no longer available owing to theadjoining sections having been taken up.

—Councillor Fleming stated that some of theroads in that quarter were in a very badstate, but as applicationhad beenmade tothe Government for a grant he suggestedthat action be deferred till a reply wasreceived.— Agreed to.

The Invercargill Corporationhaving askedthe Council tobear part of the coat of re-pairing a culvert on Elles road, the chair-man wasauthorised to obtain the opinionoftheir solicitor as to their liability. MrMcNabnowreported. He pointed out thatOteramika road ceasedon the boundary ofInvercargill,and that the culvert which re-quired attention was admittedly on Ellesroad, which lies wholly within the borough,but whichbounds the county. Mr McNabwent into the question at some length, andinconclusion expressed the opinion that theCouncil wasnot liable for the maintenanceof Ellea road. Action deferred till nextmeeting.

The Chairmanreported th«»t the HokonuiRailway|andCoalCompany were takingstepsto abate the gorsenuisance along their line.

The Mataura Town Board asked theCouncil to delegate power to the Board tolevy a rate for works to be carried out inKana street.

—A legal opinion on the posi-

tion of the Council in the matter havingbeen read,it was resolved to delay actiontillnextmeeting,— Councillor Green to meettheBoard in the interim with a copy of MrMcNab's opinion.

The offer of the Marine Department tosubsidise the cost of erectingbeaconsin Wai-kawa harbour wasaccepted,and the eugineerempoweredtohave the work done.

The Engineer reported that the two milesof road recently completedby the Govern-ment through Waikawa Bush required 85chains afgravellingbefore the new jetty andgoods shed at the harbour would be of anyuse to the district. Stray cattle weredoinggreat damage to the formation andditches,and the road was being ruined through thewant of surfacemen. He suggested that theattention of the Government should bedrawn to thematter.

—Adopted, the chair-

manpointing out that work thac had costhundreds of pounds was going to wasteowing to the neglect referred to. TheCouncil bad refused to take the road over,and they werenot calledon to providesur-facemen. A good job hadnot been maneofthe work owing to itsnot having been doneat the right season.

Consideration of an application by JWallis to lease the coalpit on Waikaia com.monage washeld over.

J. Welsh called attention to the" horrible

state" of the Oteramika Gorge road.— Tobe informed thatitis not a county road.

Applications werereceived from theParkSchool Committee, and the InvercargillandAvenal Borough Councils inreference to thestate of the Park road, and were held overtillnextmeeting.

On the motion of Councillor McQueentenders were ordered to be called for theerection of a stock bridge over the Waikakastream, near the schoolhouse.

The following subsidies for road workaweregranted :— To Knapdale Road Board,L2O for theKnapdalelow road and LlO forSyme's road;and to Tuturau Road Board,L2O for Crawford's road and L2O for ShanksandDavidson'sand the Valley road. In thecase of the Otaraia Road Board it was re-solvedthat they be asked to reduce theirschedule and specify the most necessaryworks for which subsidies are required.

The TuturauRoad Board inquired if thegrader which the Council had ordered wouldbe hiredout to roadboards.— To be informedwhenthe grader comes to hand.

A petition was received from Fortrosesuggesting that a ranger shouldbe appointedowing to the damage done to the streets bywandering stock.

—J. L. McFarlane wrote

that there was apound in the district, andthat there wouldbe noneed for a ranger for along time tocome.— The Chairman eaid thatcomplaints had been made to him re thedamage doneby straying cattle, and it wasdecidedtoappointa ranger, and to offer thepositionto Alexander McKenzie.

A. McNeill, M. McConachie, W. Baird,J.Dunlop,A. Thornhill, andJ. Hamilton wereappointedmembers of the SouthForest HillCemetery Trust.

The Inspector submitted a list of rate-payers who wereallowinggorse to encroachonroads, and it was resolvedon the motionof Councillor Fleming, seconded by Coun-cillor Gerrard, that notices be served onoffenders, and that the Inspector takeactionagainst those who have neglected thenoticesBerved in March last.— The Chairman re-marked that some people were of opinionthat they complied with the law if theyeimply cut down the whereas theyshouldbe grubbed up.— Councillor McQueenmoved that defaulting ratepayers in respecttogorse be sued in the R.M. Court nearestto the place where the offence occurs.

—CouncillorGreen seconded themotion, whichCouncillor Hast opposed, holding that itwouldbe a great mistake tohave the officialsrunning all over the country.

— CouncillorFleming concurred— it was not a case forcompassion.

—Councillor Green pointed out

thatit would be a great hardship to bring asettler 40 or 50 miles when themattercouldbe dealt with at a nearer Court.— On beingput, Councillors McQueen, Green, Ward,and Gerrard voted for the motion, andCouncillors Hast, Baldey, McCallum, andFleming against it. The votingbeing equal,the chairmangave his casting vote in favourof the motion, which was accordingly car-ried.

—Councillor Fleming afterwards moved

that the expenses inconnection with the re-moval ofgorse be incurred by the riding inwhich the offence occurs. The moverpointedout that thebearing of the cases indifferent parts of the district would mean agreatdealof expense andcause the officialsto lose a gooddeal of time. If each ridingin which prosecutions took place bore theexpense it would not matter so much, buthe did not see why the county as a wholeshouldbe saddled with the outlay.—Coun-cillor McQueen said that if the County de-cided to prosecute it should also bear thecost andnot burden any particular ridingwith it. Itseemed absurd tobring peoplealong distance in such cases when courtswere held at other places than Invercargill.They did not want compassion, but simplyjustice.

—Cr.Green took the sameview.— Cr.

Baldey admittedthat it might be inconveni-ent for defaulters to have to come a longdistance, but if theyobtainedaconcession byhaving the casesheard at the nearest courtthen the ridingsconcerned shouldpay for it.The Chairman uaid he had voted for theprevious motion out of consideration forsettlers who might have to come 30 or 40miles, buthe wouldalso vote for the presentone,ashe didnotsympathise with those whofailed to take steps, after receiving duenotice, to abate the nuisance.— Themotionwas carried, the Chairman,and CouncillorsBaldev, Fleming,Hast.and McCallumvotingfor it, and Councillors McQueen, Ward,Gerrard, and Green against it.

Several Waikawa selectors having peti-tioned for roads, the Engineer reportedthatthe d.p. thirds available would be spent inmaking roads to the d.p. blocks, but themoneys inhand werenot sufficient to makeroads within the blocks.

—To be informed

Accordingly.A. and R. Davidson applied to purchase

the disused roadline l>etween section 34,block 3, Winton Hundred, and part of sec-tion 218, Forest Hill Hundred.— Engineerto report.

J. Anderson asked the Council to removecertain gates on the roadline leading to hisland inblock 9, Wyndham.— To be asked tostatehis reasons.

The Engineer was instructedto have thebridge on the Springfield .road, Toi Toiß, re-paired.

It was decided that the occupier of thel hospital reserve at Waikaia be requested tot grub up the gorseon the street line.

The Engineer reported that he had, inaccordance with instructions, inspected the

I main road from the Junction to the Maka-i, rewa bridge (Wallacetown), and he recom-; mended that 2.1yards of gravel l>e obtainedI with which to repair the worst parts.

—> Councillor Fleming objected to the work on

the ground that there were other roads ini the Awarua riding in moie need of attention, than the onein question.—Councillor Baldey

said that both Wallacetown and Awarua) ratepayers had complained to him about theI state of the road, and he held that he was■j perfectly justified in calling atteniion to it.: Councillor Fleminghadstated that he wouldl not do anything to the road, although in his

liding, beciuse it wasused by his (Council-lor Baldt-y's) ratepayers. Councillor Fleming

i said that this was not correct. He had| maintained this road, and woulddo so ag;un,[ but he objected to its being made perfecti while other roads were in greater need of

attention. — Councillor McQueen thought the. discussion pointed to the necessity for an| alteration in theboundaries of some of the, ridings.— The Kngineer, inreply to Council-

lor Baldey, stated thathe did not considerI the road in question was in proper repair,

and there wasone dangerous place. He alsostated, in answer to Councillor Fleming, thatthe latter had had the road repaired last3'ear,and that partsof the BluffandOtatara

1 roads were worse than the one from theJunction.— The matter then dropped,no ac-tiou being taken.

Accounts amounting to L557 7s 9d werepassed for payment.

The Council thenadjourned to the secondFriday inOctober.

PARLIAMENT.j [By Telegraph.] j

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.Wellington, Sept. 9.

The Council met at 2.30p.m.Mr Stevens gave notice to move

"That

this Council is of opinionthat in taking apoll' on any proposal for local borrowing,whether under general or special Act, theproposalssubmitted to the ratepayers shallnot be deemed to be carried unless two-thirds of the total votesgiven at the poll arein favour of theproposal;such votes beingthose of ratepayers, the ratable value ofwhose propelty in the municipality, countyor district affected by the proposal amountin the aggregate to one-half of the totalratable value of the ratable propertytherein."

The Contractors' and Workmeu's LienBillpassed its final stages.

The Council rose at 4.30p.m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.The House continued in Committee on the

Land Bill till H o'clock this morning whenanadjournment was taken till 9.30. On resum-ing Mr Rollesiononcemore'protestedagainstthe House going on with the bill. With allthe respect he had for Ministers he hadagreater respect for the Legislature, and didnot think this the proper way to conductbusiness. He contended that, though themajority should rule, the minority had arieht to say that if Parliamentary practiceswerecast to the winds, the majority shouldnot be allowed togo on by physical force.

Mr.Seddon alluded to the waste of time onthebill while inCommittee. The principleof the measure hadbeen discussed iv dealingwitheach clause in a manner he had neverbefore hoard of inregard to anybill. Sir(Jeorge(>tey, Mr Seddon remarked, had saidhe would obstruct the bill by every form ofthe House, andMessrs Fergus andHarkncsshad threatened clearly that they wouldstonewall the bill word by wordand Huebyline.

Mr Seddon proceeded to refer to the wholequestion, and when alluding to une of hisstatements, Mr Fergus was understood toturn to Mr Harknesa and ejaculate "Hearhow he lies.''

Mr Seddon retorted that if anymemberused such words lo him outside the Househe would take, such steps as would preventhim ever using them again.

Sir G. Grey moved that Mr Seddon's wordsbe taken down, and after some discussionprogress was reported,and the words werereported to the Speaker.

MrSeddon said he hadnothing to say bywayof extenuation or apology. MrFerguswithin the hearing of the Chairman of Com-mittee and himself had iv reference toIrs statement, used the words

"Hear

hoy he lies." He had then asked protec-tion from the Chair and said there were twomeans open to him and he would take suchsteps as would prevent Mr Fergus usingsjuch words again. The courses open to himwere to take proceedings against him forconduct calculated to provoke a breach ofthe peace or he could report him to theSpeaker. Mr Seddon then retiied from theChamber.

Mr Fergus denied having used the wordsattributed to him. He said nothing offensiveto the Minister of Mines,and if he did sohewouldbe sorry for it. There was such a

thing as private conversation in the Houseand if peoplelistened to that they might heatthings that were unpleasant.

Mr \Y. P. Reeves moved that the explana-tion given hy Mr Seddon beaccepted assatis-factory. He distinctly heard Mr Fergus usethe words, " How he lies." They were usedina loud tone,and thoughnot addressed tothe Minister undoubtedlyreferred tohim.ardthe Minister had appealedto theprotectionof the Chairman, who said he did not thinkthe words were intended to be overheardon the other side of the House, or he wouldimmediately have taken notice of them.

Mr Fisher said he was bound to supportthemotion of the Minister of Labour in theinterests of good order and decorum. Mi-Fergus had undoubtedly used the words.

Mr Rolleston agreed, but suggested that itwould be a bad precedent to take notice ofwords used in conversation. He wouldsup-port the motion if the words

"that under

the circumstance of words beiug used inconversation and not intended, for theHouse

" wereadded.Sir John Hall said that though the Minis-

ter's words were objectionable they wereuaedunder great provocation.

Mr Hutchison (Waitotata) moved as anamendment that the last three words

"as

fully satisfactory"

be omitted, and themotion be simply that the explanationgivenby the Minister of Mine3be accepted.

Captain Russell thought it was beyondalldecency for any member, especially theleader of the House, to threaten personalviolence.

MrRees said he heard the wore's used byMrFergus. He agreed that though theHouse ought, under the circumstances, toaccept theMinister's explanation,theyshouldbe careful not to express any approvalof athreat of personal violence. He suggestedthatMrFergusshould apologise to theHousefor the wordshe had used, but Mr Fergusreplied that he hadnothing to apologise for.

A motion to adjourn the debate was loston the voices. Mr Hutchison's amendmentwas also rejectedby 34 to26,andMr Reeves'motion wascarriedby 35 to 22.

Mr Seddon was then readmitted to theHouse. He said the House by passing theresolution hadreflected credit on Parliamentas politicalandprivate individuals. He saidhe had always been careful of his honour,andhe contended that, under grossprovoca-tion, he hadexhibitedgreat forbearance.

Mr Fergus said he was exceedingly sorryfor the remarks he had made, and he offeredamost humble apology for havinghurt thefeelings of any member of the House. Thisended the incident, and the Houee resumedin Committee on the Land Bill.

Mr Rolleston at 12.15p.m asked whetherMr Seddon would consent toanadjournmentof the House till 7.30. He pointed out thatmembers had been sitting there for nearly24 hours, and it wasimpossible for theHouseto consider an important measure underthose conditions. He denied that there hadbeen anythinglike obstruction on the part ofthe Opposition.

Mr Seddon said if the Committee passedclause 192 he should consent to an adjourn-ment till 7.30. The clause was then passedand the House odjourned.

EVENINGSITTING.

The House resu.ned at 7. 30 p.m. in Com-mittee on the LandBill.

Clause 213— penalty on occupier in arrearof rent

—was altered so as to enforce the

penalty for non-payment of rent withinthirty days instead of fourteen. In Clause227

—license for flaxcutting— it was decided

that a license be granted for 7 years insteadof three. Clause 246— native lands, onacquisition,may be declared Crown lands.—On the motion of Captain Russell it wasdecided thatnothing in this clause shouldaffect land on the North Island Trunk Rail-way.

Theschedules werepassedwithoutmaterialalteration and the new clauses were thendealt with. Among those agreed to was oneproviding thatnoperson can become holderof land exceeding 320 acres within a specialsettlement, except in the case of swamplands. The bill was thenreported and theHouse rose at 1.13 a.m.

Creameries and aButterFactory

TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,—Iwonld ask your permission to

bring before the Southland community,through your journal, a much neglectedindustry, viz, butter-making on a largeicalefor export. Some may be disposed tothink that making bntter for export belongs to the former, but suchIthink is notthe caio. Butter for export most be theTery beet, and of nniform quality. Thi»the farmers can never hope to obtain by

! woikinp single-banded. What we wantis a large central factory in Invercargillwi'h creameries all through Southland sothat all onr raw material wnnldcome to onecentre to be manufacturedinto a first claesarticle for export. The factory must berun upon purely commercial principles;somecommercial firm at the head, with thefarmers holding shared. ido not thinkthat this is unreasonable. What wouldwethink of any one advocating that thefarmers phonld grind their wheatinto flourbefore placing it on the market, or theiroate into meal, or freezing their mutton ontheir own premises? We all know thiswouldneverdo. We havegot our com-mercialmen for this very purpose. Thefarmer is simp'y a prodruei of the rawmaterial, and whyshouldbutter be exemptfrom this law. Take ourSouthlandcheesefor instance :could the farmers ever havearrived at the same plane of pe'fectirnsingle banded, as wenowBtand on throughtba agency of the factory ? Why Soutb-land^cbeese is second to none,— nothing (

batpraise frcra the Homo buyer for South-'

land che<ae. Iask again why should themanufacture of bntter bo any longer neglected amoDgstus? Atone time weusedto devotemost of our attention to produc-ing oatauntil weran verylow down;nowwe have taken to sheep, and at presentprices sheep are all right ;but supposing,in the conrse of three or four years, with i

the helpof NewSouth Wales and Victoriawith Argentina thrown in, thrreshould befive or six times the quantity of froz°nmutton put upon the Homo market,Ithink the result wouldnot be toour gaiD.We must admit it is bid policy to haveall onr eggs in one basket. Our familiesarecrowing np and tending cows is nice .healthy work for boya sod girls ; all wewantis a market for onr raw material, i.c,our cream. The Southland farnursIthinkhave no cause to complain of the com.mercial men

— in lovercargill. I tbinktbiy have the interest of the farmers atheart, and it is clearly their duly to takesteps to briDg Southland to the front as abutter exporting community. A butterfactory should be started on the samelines as tbe Floor Mil'iog Company nowbefore the public.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE SOUTHLAND TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1892.

InDefence of 'Society'»_

Mr W, H.Mailock replies, in the Julynumberof the NorthAmerican Review,toLadyJeune'sindictmeotofLondonsociety.Firßt, Mr Mailookpoints ont that 'society*consisting of 5000 persons at least,is not asingle society at all:— 'Let as consider aBchoollikeEtonorauniversity likeOxford,communities which number only a thousandpersonsand two thousand. We knowhowabsurdit wouldbetoregardeventhesesmaller bodies as consisting of boys andyouths all intimate or even all acquaintedwith one another, or sharing the same pur-suits, tastes,orprinciples. On the contrarywe know that they consist of numerouscliques, eaoh presenting us with somedifferent type of living— the frivoloas,theeerioui, the hardy, tYe effeminate, theliterary, thesporting, the religious,andtheprofligate. Each community,infact, is anepitome of human nature, and reproducesnoder a special set of circumstances thediversities that are found under otherseverywhere and in all classes. Tae sameis the case with society.

ButMr Mallock admitsthat the 'smartest'peoplein society set the fashion:

—'And

the fact is.perfectly intelligible. Smart-ness, whateverpeoplemay say to the con-trary, requires personalqualities of by nomeans a common order. Mere wealth isnot enough;there must be a knowledge ofbow to use it. A fastidious taste is desir-able, a certain amount of taste is essen-tial. Grace, beauty, bonhomie, wit andhumour, and the indefinable art of givingbrightness to the passing moment

—all

these qualities go to the production of'smartness,' and a set in which they arewanting couldnever be called 'smart,' nomatterhow exalted might be the positionof its leader. Stnartneßß, in fact, repre-sents the perfection of superficial living,andithas a natural, onemay indeedsay alegitimateinfluence overpersons of a certain temperament in all ranks. If then,'smartness*is for the timebeingalliedwithanything like depravity and debatingluxury,Lady Jeune is perfectly right inconsidering thefactdeplorable.'

As for luxurious living, Mr Mallockcontends-that thecommercial classes, netthe aristocracy, are the worst offenders.Indeed, Mr Mallock wouldalmosthave usbelievethata Spartanaristocracy has beencorruptedby themiddleclasies: 'Luxuriesof a certain kind the aristocracy havealways enjoyei and demanded;but themodern increaseof Inxnry is due entirelyto the middle classes, and the atmost thearistocracydois tiavail themselves of thepick of it. Let us take,for instance, theonematter of hotelsand travelling. Whosupport themonster hotels of London,withtheirgildedsaloons,theirmarblestaircases,andtheir vast cellars,- or the smallerestab-lishments to befound all over the country?Not the aristocracy, not Bociety, thoughmembersof societymay take advantageofthem andgive certain of them a cachet.Wh&t supports them, what has called theminto existence, is the new middle olaßs.Who, agaio, support the trains de luxe tothe Riviera? Societymaypatronisetuem,but society does not support them. Itcouldnot supply a tithe of the travellersrequisite to make them pay. What sup-portß themis the opulentmiddleclbbb. Ifa smart bouse of te-day is more luxuriousthan a smart house fifty yearsago, this ismainlybecause,owing to thitj middleclansdemand, there are incalculably moreobjects and appliances of luxury in theifKet

'

What's inIt?■»

As dealingmorefully witha subject referred toby our Wellington correspondentsome wefiksago, the following letter sentbyMrE.F.Crouch,of Otautau.to agentle-man residentinthe Western District, willbe ofinterest:— "

"Inreply toa question Mr Mackintosh,M.H.8.,wrjjtesmeas follows :— "ln answerto aquestion in tbeHouse, the Hon. theMinisterofLands repliedtbatbebad madearrangementswhereby farmersinall partsofNew Zealand oanget the soils analyzedfree of charge by forwardinga sampleofthesoil to Wellington,railage willbe paidby Government. Ihad written to MrMackintosh asking him to try and get anagriculturalchemist sent down to South-land to analyze tbe sails so that farmerswould know in what their Boils woredeficient to produce a crop of turnips,hence tbe above reply. Kindly adviseyourneighbours, as this is an opportunitytbatshould not be neglected."

What PeopleSay

"Truthisstranger thanFiction,"sopeoplesay,but such truthas we received from T.Channon, Esq., Photographer, Nowra,N.S.W., is only asample of what comes tohandby everymail from allparts of Australia.MrChannon speaks for himself

TheBritishDairyConference

(N;B.Agriculturist, June15).Tbe annual Conference of the Dairy

Farmers Association has nowcome to beregarded as one of the most importantevents,in tbe dairy calendar. Not onlydoes tbe Conferencepartyinspect thebestfarms and herds in tbe districts visited,bnt the leaders of the dairy industry joinin discussing thepositionand prospects ofthatmost importantindustryinwhichtheyare engaged. In this way,the plaos fol-lowed by tbe best and most successfuldairy farmers in different districts arein-telligently noted and discussed, and tbeknowledgecollected,not onlybypracticalfarmers, bat also by tbe dairy expert*, isfreelyplaced at the service of allwho areengagedin the dairybusiness. The vastimportance of tbe dairy bnsiniss as abranoh of agriculture may beclearly seenfrom the faot tbat the value of the milkproducedby tbe4,117,707cowsandheifersinmilkorin calf will,at theverymoderateestimateof £10 per cow, balk up to overforty millions sterling per annum, or"boutasmuobas the totalvalue of all thegraincrops producedin theUnited King-dom. The Conference which was 'heldlast week proved to be one of the mostinstructive and enjoyable that the DairyAssociation has yet held. The district▼isited was the counties of )Westmorlandand Cumberland, where the visitors sawsome of the moßt noted herds ofshorthorns in the country. On ac-coont of the importance of tbe pointsraised anddiscussed at the Conference,webavethis weekdevoted a great partof ourspace toa report of the proceedings,andnowcomment briefly onsomeof the mostimportant points broaghtontin tbe courseof thevarionsdiscussions." THE BHOBTHOBNB OF CUMBERLAND AND

WESTMOBLAND.The exhaustive andelaboratepaperread

by Mr Ponchard, the clear-headed com-missioner for Lord Bective, raises somepoints wellworthy ofnotice. The oowaintbe twocountiesnumber,in round figures,75,000, and most of tbeae are sold whencarryingtheir fourth calf. Eaoh cow, withordinary luck, will produce one calf perannum,and if tbesexes be equallydividedand tbe heifercalves all reared, that willprovidefor h draft of 32,500 cows beingsold fromthesecountiesevery year.Prac-tically, tberetore, the wholeof the cowseared in these oonntieß find their way totheEdinburgh dairies,for tbe dairy herdsof Edinburgh and Leitb number 22,000,nearly allof whichcome fromCumberlandand Westmorland, and, with scarcely asingleexception,they are only milked foreightor nine months, when they are sentto tbe botcher. The Edinburgh dairies,therefore, form thegreatvortexinto whichnearly all the cows reared in these twooonntiesare drawn just at the time thattbecows are coming to their best. Tbecomparativelydisappointing yield of milkgivenby theee massive shorthorn cows,incomparison with thatof tbe smaller andeasier kept Ayrshire, wasa matterof com-mentbymany of the visitors. But therecan be no doubt that this comparativelydisappointingyield ofmilk giveo by theseoowa on theirnativepasture? is duepartlytotbefaotibat they aresold to Edinburghand BDch like places just when they arecoming to theirbest, and partly also to thefact tbat tbesystem of feeding practisedinCumberland isnot of themast intensiveorder. Some of the cows which MrGraham, Edengrove, bad rescued fromtheabort, but final,abode in an Edinburghdairy weroshown to be giving a yield of900 gallons, or one-third more than theaverageyieldof thesecows on their nativepastures, and it is a notorious fact thatthese Cumberland and Westmorland cowsgiveaveryheavy yieldof milk when fedintbeintensivestyle whichprevails in tbeEdinburgh dairies;

DOCTOBS DIFFBBING.Thediscussionon Mr Panobard's paper

brought out a remarkableand quite inex-plicabledifference of opinionamong tbeexperts respecting the valueof cottoncakeas a foodforbutter-producing cows. MrPonofaard showed that tbe butter factorshad laid down the law that cotton cakemost be avoided, as it'made tbe buttergreasy,of a bad colour, and a bad flavour.'ProfessorM'Connell emphaticallyendorsedthatview, endin sportingphraseology, begavebutter-makers thestraight tip tobackbeanmealagainst any odds. Oo tbe otherband, Colonel Curtis Hayward, whosereputationas a buttor-makeris secood tobone in tbe country, found ootton cakeaa exoeUeot food for the production of/

bntter, and Mr Long epoke in the samestrain, while Mr Jasper Stephenson beldthatcotton cake wasa goodfood if it wasusedalong with plenty other food. Doabt-less, tbe truthwill lie between both ex-tremes,and if cottoncake can be üßed inmoderate quantities along with plentyotherrich food, it will be found to givuexcellentresults, bothas regards the quan-tity andqualityof thebatter. Someyearsa*o, Mr Harry Thompson, M.RG.V.B.,Aspatria,of whose eminence asa veterinary expertthe farmersin Cumberland arejustly proud, made;a very interestingexperiment, which want to showthat the best cream and butter ratiosconsisted of equal weights of palm-nutmoftl, cotton cake,cruihed oats, and bran—

31bof tbemixture being given twice aday. Sosuccessful did this ration provethat tbe Aspatria Creamery Company re-commendedit to all thefarmerssupplyingmilk to (he faotory.

THE WASHING OF BUTTER.A rather notabledifference not,however,

of opinion, bnt of practical results, wasbrought out in regard to thequestion as towhetherbntter should be washed or not.Inregard to thispoint,Mr Long, who haslong acted tbe role of dairy expert,appeared in the roll of an 'anxious inquirerHehad been 'perplexedin faitb, butpurein deeds,' and whilebe had followed theorthodoxplanof teachingthatbuttermustbe washed in thegranularstagein order togetall the caseinout of it,yethecouldnotshut his eyes to the fact that tbeDanishbutter was not washedat all,andhe mighthaveadded, that most of tbe bntter madeat theIrish factories,supervised by CanonBagot, is not washed either. Doubtlessgreat oare is taken both by the Danishmakersandthe Irish factoryoperatives toget the casein extractedas thoroughly aspossible from the bntter bymeans of thebutter worker;but the fact remainstbatbutter, which has not been washed in thegrannlar stage, does not keep so well asbutter that has been washed, and theDanish, whichis an unwashedbutter, doesnotkeepwell,as anyone mayfind out byaveryaimpie test.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN,In the csnrse of the paper on 'Cross-

Breeding,1Mr Simmonsoitedsome curiousdata by way of enabling any one to judgewhether,within the lasthundred years wehad realty advancedsomuch eitherindairyscienceordairypracticeas is generallysup-posed. He quoted Artbnr Youog, MrChaplin's predecessorof a hundred yearsago, toshow that,evenin1799,somecowswereyieldiogashigh as251bof butter perweek. The scientific explanationof tbeadvantagejofkeepinga few Jerueys in anAyrshire or shorthorn herd,namely, thattbe larger fatglobulesof tbe rich milkofthe Jerseys assist the smaller globulesinthe Ayrshire or shorthornmilk torise, hasalways been claimedas a resultof moderndairy science. And yet Arthur Youngstated the same thing in the closing yearof lastcentury. MrSimmons, whoiscom-missioner forMr Walter,themanaging pro-prietor of the Times, aiked tbe dairyscientistsat the meeting what they had tosay to these facts, hot the scientists weremute. HadMr Long orMrLloydgot npand stated ascientific ration for a cow inresponse to theory fromMr C. W. Wilsonfor such a ration,the result would doubt-lessbave been hailedas anothertriumphofmodern dairy science. And yet almostevery hnnd-bookon agricultural sciencecontainsration tableb of the kind Mr Wil-son waspleading for,and asMr Alsebrookpointedly remarked, 'There's tea euchtables given inProfessorM'Conn*il'sAgri-culturalNote-Book.' Truly there'snothingnew under tbeson.

GENERAL.Space fails us in attempting to refer so

fally as we should have wished to all theother points of interestbrought up at theConference. In regard toDr. Webb's con-tention that, while we had to go to theforeigners to complete our education,theforeignersnever cams to learn anythingfromus on the agricultural line,Mr Speir'sreply was complete and satisfactory. Hecouldnot say tbat tbe foreignersevercameto learn much from English farmers, butthey certainlyoame overingreat numbersto learn farming with Scotch farmers.Scarcely a weekpassed withouthimreceiv-iog letters from foreigners asking him totake them aspupils, &Ddat tbepresentmo-ment a Swedish gentleman was learningdairy farming with Mr Wallacp, Anchen-brain, the champion cbeeseraakerof Scot-land. Itonly remainsfor as at present tomake apassing remarkon the stereotypedutterancesof Mr Nnttall. This genius de-livered himself of his usual tirade againstthe middleman, who according to his wayof it, wasa parasite who sucked the life-bloodof theproduoer,and lived in amansion in the suburbs, while tbe producercouldbarelyearn themeanest subsistence.Cocsidering that Mr Nnttall is himself amiddlemanwhois giving theproducerslessfor their milk than bocould produoeit athimself, tfaiachronic abuse of the class towhich he himee'f belongs is rather sug-gestive. Healso looked,beB3id,withgriefon the development of the milk-sellingbranch of thedairy business,as tbe sellingof milk impoverished and exhausted thefarm. Out scientists tellus thatthe fertil-ising matterremoved in themilkof agooddairycow only amounts in value to22a 6dperannum, and thatcan be easily replacedby tbe use of suitablemanures. The saleof potatoes,bay, or anythingelseoff thefarmmightbe saidtoimpoverish the farmif the fertilising matter drawn off in theform ofcrops, beef,mutton,etc., werenotreplaoedby suitablemanures.

Who Invented the ReapingMachine.

On thissubjectMr WilliamTrotter,SoathAoomb, writes 8R followsin theNewciitleWeekly Oarooicle:

—A paper on 'Labour- j

saving Agricultural Implements,' his jnifrscently been read before the Glasgowan1West of Scotland Agricultural Society byMr Wm. Wallace, a gentleman connectedwith theimplement trade.Mr Wallace,likemaoyotherScotch writerson the samesub-ject, repeats the error of attributing the |invention of the reaping machine to theRev.Patrick Bell. That Mr Bell did in-vent a reapingmaohineadmitsofnodoubt,but it is alio beyond doubtthat th6re is apriorclaim to theinvention of the reapingmachine firit exhibited in this country atthegreatexhibition inHydePark in1851,between which andMr Bell's there is notthe shadow of resemblance, either in prin-ciple or in construction. The Husseymachinecame back to England ia theyearnamedalmrbtidentically thesameasmadeia thiscountry, the invention of the lateJohn Common, ofDenwick,near A'nwick.John Common, for strength, agility,andinventive genius, was a most remarkableman, and to deprive him of the credit

'justly due to him at the inventorof thereaping machine is,Ideliberatelysay,con-temptible. This may appear severe,butcircumstances justify it. If whatIhavehere writtenshould elicitareply,lmay addthat, althoughIdislikeextremely to wadethrough files of paper,Iaball be able tosubstantiateall that 1haveeaid inproofofMr Common's claimto theinvention ofthemachinein question. Mr Common wasalsothe inventorof thedoabledrill for sowingturnips, whichis inuniversaluae whereverturnip cultureis up todate. The value ofthisdrilltofarmers whogrowlargebreadthsof turnips cannot be overestimated. It isworthmentioning, too, that oneof thesedrills has been inuse here for upwards ofsixty years.

Carlyleon Woman's Sphere+Good Word- contains a very interesting

contribution \on 'My Four Letters fromCarlyle,'signed'Blanche Atkinson.' Somethirty years ago the writer wrote to thesageconcerning a novel she waß engagedupon. In answer to her qnery as towhether she should goon with it,Carlylewrote:— 'ln my great darkness as to thefairyonng Blanche'saffairs,how canIad-vise ? Iwill say only: A younglady'Bchief doty and outlook is' not to writenovels(especiallynot whileshe ia 'ignorantof the world,' and not even perhaps whensheknows it too well1) but, by-and-bye,to be queen of a household,and tomanageitqueenlike and womanlike. Lather tarnher whole faculty and industry in thatdirection;aheve her ownnovel aside fora good while, or for ever; and be shyeven of reading novels. If she do readlet itbe good!.and wise books (more andmore exclusivelythose), whichnot one inten thousand of the kind called 'novels'now ia.'

The ' fair yonng Blanche1 confesses tohaveshed a few mortified tears over thiscomplete extinguishingof her hopes. Sheprotested,however, against thenotion thata girl's only outlook was to be towardsmarriage. Carl/le replied in a

' lovelyletter,'enclosinghisphotograph:

— '1likethissecond letter better than the former;betternews for me that youare faithfullyteaching your good aunt's school thanwritingnovels. Aod, furthermore,Iseeinyou a spirit of proper maidenly pride,which is much to my mind; '

Quit thenoble pride of tby heart never I' (eayaRichter,toone who had grownnobly oldunmarried).'

As between marriage and epinaterhoodto theend, hereis Oarlyle's summing up:—

'Not neoessary tobemarried;but it isnecessary to live wisely and with dignity,to be true and useful, and to work wellwhileit is called to-day! Insum, there-fore:Be a good, diligont, and prudentgirl ; summon upyour ownbest jadgment;vigilantly exercise it, 'eyes well open,lips oftenest well shut ;' it is yonr owdjadgment alone, and no other person's,that can wisely guide your steps;wiselyselectyourobjects; a&d your methods to-wards them.'

Should an unmarried woman be unJo-mesticated? No,emphatically no,says thesage:

—'Marriedornot mairied, surely it

ib always fit andcomely that a woman doknowdomesticitiesto the bottom? Oneexpectsto find itof her,- whenneed oomes;as of a man, that be can resist when in-sulted.' But if, afte** all ths, a womanthought of taking to literature, then sheshould prepare for it:

—'Road, study, re-

flect; inquire far and near (perhaps invariousages and in various countries orlanguages); beoome acquainted with thegreat souls thathavebeen— seeif youhaveanything toadd which ia distinctly in theirspirit; andif yes,dobo.' It may be re-membered thatCarlyle washimselfguiltyof atleast beginning to writea novel.

Jones Street, SouthDunedin,»*— -

15thFebruary, 1892.The Rongoa Manufacturing Co., Dunedin.

Sirs,—

In18541metwithabuggyaccidentby which my right ankle was severely in-jured. Twenty yearsago the legbrokeoutivpainful, dischargingsores;itbecame muchswollen and discoloured, and the foot wasreallyuseless. Isuffered agonies with everychange of weather.anil dreaded the approachof each winter. Itried every expedient,butwithoutavail,and waseven advisedto havemy leg amputated.

InDecember, 1891,after twenty years ofacute suffering,Iwas advised to try Rongoa.The leg had then three soresabove the ankle—

oneon each side, four inches longby threeinches wide,andabout three-quartersof aninch deep. The thirdaudmost painful core,however, was immediately over the shinbone.

On 'the first day on which Rongoa wasapplied abouthalf apintof matteroozedout.Te sores were daily syringed withequalproportions of Rougoa Lotion and warmwater;lint soaked with lotion was thenapplied and covered with oiledsilk and theleg banilaged.

At the end of a week the sorespresentedahealthier appearance, and the inflammationwas much reduced. At the end of threeweeks the offensivedischarge hadceased,andhealthy in-w flesh began to form. Inthebe-ginning of February ihe cure wascomplete,the leghad recovered its natural shapeandelasticity, the wounds were filled with new

■ flesh, and a firm skinhad formed.The cure waseffected withoutcausing me

u.y pain \vhatcvcr,andwithoutinjury to myhealth. Icannowbend the footanil

ViscountHelliotsArrest

'Good-evening!'Mr Paul Markham, money lender,

looked up startled frombis calculations,for he did not expect any moreclientstbat night. It was past the timethatdosed his office, andhid only clerk badgone home half an hour before, bat■ome very pleasing arithmetical studiesbftd kept the old gentleman in bis tinyoffice.

The new-comer had walked straightin from the outer room without waitingfor the ceremonyof beingasked,and bistall, shabbily-dressed figure met tbetttoaey-lender'seyes whenhe lookedup,"far jotting downa total.'Iwas afraidIshould be too late to

86*) you to night,' said tbe intruder,in aToioa thatmatched bisaristocratic facebetter thaa dm threadbare clothes.

'Andnow you have found me, mayIask what you want?' inquiredMarkhanot verygenially. 'Be quick,please, asIam justabout to leave.'

"All right,' said tbe aristocraticvoice.'I want yon to lend me a hundredponnds or so.'

Paul Markham whistled, and lookedhU companion up and down, from hisdeoted silk bat to his bursting shoes.

"On what security ?' heasked shortly."On the faith of my expectations. As

youknow,Iam the grandson and heir-preeumptive of LordOakhurst.

The money-lender looked at him insUeaoeagain,

'BatIbelieve there is none of LordOakhorst's property entailed,' he said.After a pause.

'None;butIhave an excellent pros-pect ofgetting everything. Iam Vis-OOUnt Helliot,his lordship's onlynearrelative.'

PaulMarkham laughed—not a very

pleasant laugh."Well, Viscount Helliot,Iam afraid

chance has brought you to the wrongman for your purpose Ihappen toknow from aprivate source tbat nearlytwelvemonthagoLord Oakhurstturnedyou out of his house, and vowed thatnot a penny ofbis should youever have.Tou did not expect me,Ipresume, toknow all this ?'

The young man's face showed nochange of expression.

"On the contrary,' hereplied,'Ienmeto you because you know somethingabout me from your brother>.in-law,whois my gratidfather'B lawyer. Ithoughtvon wouldbe acquainted with hisband-writing.'

,1aui,' said PaulMarkl am.'Thatis all right. Here is a letterI

just received from him.'As he spoke the young man opened

his coat,ebowiog tbat be bad nothingbut a shirt beneath it,and took fromhisinsidepocket a letter, which he handedto the lender of gold.

The envelope was addressed to 'TheHonorable Viscount Helliot,' at somewell-sounding but unknownquarter ofP.imlico, and the letter inside ran aafollows:

'Dear Helliot,—Ifeave mtnagfd topnt in

a word for you succenifnlly »t la«t. Yonrgrandfather,whois inveryprecarioushea'tb,"a* expre»«rd a desire to fee jod, and make-peace with yon. brfore he dies. Ithonldadvise yon to come down an quickly a»pOMiVr, andif Imay give you « hint, noydear boy,come in * ratbrr Bobnoi«*ive spirit

'Four old friendSamuelLestccq.1

'You know tbe handwritingV eaidthe Viaconnt when Markham bad per-used it,

'Yes. It is the writing of SamuelLestocq,my brother-in-law.'

'And my best friend,' added Helliot.'Inewer let him know what straitsIwasId. or he would have sent me a chequeto pay my expenses.'" And you want me te oi&ke up tbeomissionV

"Exactly. Truth to tell,Iwant agood roundnum. it wouldruin myre-conciliation for ever if Lord Oakhurstgue?sed whatIhad come down to. Iwant to step into his presence lookingexactly asIdid whenIleft it. Tftatwill cost money. Betid '8, tho recon-ciliation may not come hl>out at or:ce

—not to the length of bis making meanallowance. Possibly Imay wish t >borrow another hundr. d before 1payyou back.

The monev-lpruier nodded.'it is very lisky. Ishould have to

charge you pretty higb.'The young man was not listening to

him, however.'Excusemp, have jou a clerk in that

inside room?' he asktd.'No, wli arealone,' said the rxiOncy-

lender. ."1 thought so, a» the room is in dark-

ness. But 1believe1 heard a poundinthere just now.'

The moneylender rose, and took thelamp from his desk.

"Itl.iuk jou mtiat lemistaken, h"aid, 'but it is beet to be oarUin,' an d

Ihe picked up the lamp, and went ioto'

the outer office.'As Ithought— the room is empty,'he said,returning. 'Let us get back tobusiness.'

4 You mean business, then,' paid theViscount, smiling. '1 thought youwould. How much willyou letme haveto night V'Ihave onlyninetypounds with me,'

said PaulMaikhaoa, going to a Shfe.The Viscount laughed.'This is a formula

'4ln this case it is ?olid truth,''Then give me the niuety,' said the

young man, 'and write out your ownterms.'It was the evening of the next dav,

and Vi«count Helliot looked a differentman. He had spent the day in thepleasant occupationof payingdebts, andmaking himself look respectable;andnow, »t six o'clock in the evening,youwouldnot have thought this aristocraticwell dressed youth was the shabby in-truder who bud startled Paul Markhara,money-lender,ecarcelytwenty hoursbefore.

At six o'clock came a telegram fromLestocq :

4 Your grandfather has had a seriouscbange,and he will not alter his willun-less he sees you. Come instantly.'

The young man picked up his bagquickly. The case was more urgenttban he had imagined. A few hoursmust decide whether he was to be theinheritor of twenty thousand a year, orthe miserable wretch that he had beenfor the last few months, fighting for hisvery bread.

He went out into the squalid street tolook at tho clock in the publichouse atthe corner for the time

—he had not

bought himselfa watch yet.There was plentyof timehe foundfor

him tocatch the next train from King'sCrocs to Oakhurst; andhe walkedslowlyback to the house whereho lodged.light-ing the first cigar be had had for morethan half ayear.

'MayItrouble you for a light ?'A man in a cloth hat and corduroy

trousers had overtaken him, and wasasking the favour. Adversity had madeViscount Helliotfriends witb/everybodybut the rich,and he stopped at once,andpulled out his newly-purchased vesta-case. The man lighted his pipe care-fully, and then walked on at Helmut'sside.' Itis a very fine evening,'he eaid,with a strong cockney t»ccen'.

'Yes,' eaid the young man.'Good-

day.'He had arrived at the houê where

he lodged, and was aboutto walk in.'One moment, sir,"said the man; aud

Htlliot'turned round.* Wei! 1 what do you want7' heasked.

The man dexterouslyslipped a pair ofhandcuffs on his wrists.

'Only toeav that youare my prison*r,Mr Viscount Hellii t,' re repliedsmartlywith a smile on his lips at the corii-p!e-eneßs of his surprise:

Helliot turned red.Take these off,' he eaid h tly; 'what

doyouraeia by this confounded imperinence?''Imean thatIam a detective, mylord,andIhave a warrant fur yuur ar-rest.'

'My arrest !''Yes, for the runnier of Mr Paul

Markham, at his office in the City, lastnight.'

The flush faded from the youngman'sfac^ now, and left it an a=hen white.

'Murder?' be gapped.'Yes. Shall we be moving? Therewill be a crowd round us directly. Per-haps you would like to take a cab to thestation ?'

'But, my dear fellow, Iam perfectlyinnocent.''Ihopeso, sir. But that is not my

business. You willh«ve plenty of ©p-portunity of proving that later on.'

'lintIshall lose my train.'The protest sounded so absurd that

ll< Iliot'acompanionburst into a laugh.Bnt it was no laughing matter for

theyoungViscount. He neverdoubtedfor a moment that he would be at>le torefive this abfiurd accusation; butmenn-whilo there was slipping away the onelast oppoitunity of becomingreconciledto his not-tempered grandfather." If Ido not see him before he dieshe'll leave me a beggar,' said the youngman to hims'lf; and of being- a beggarhe had enjoyed far too terrible an experience already.

'For heav«n'a Hake come into thehouse, man, and let me ttlk to you,' bosaid, noticing that already a smallcrowd of ragged children was collecting round them, a* the man hadprophesied,

H'h companiongrumbled but followedhim as he led the way into the hous^,and up a rickety 6taiicase to his barelyfurnished room on the top floor. TheViscount motionedhis companion to theonly chair, and seated himself on tl<cbed.

'New, if you hadn'tput theso beastlythings on my wrist*,' he said, with afeehli* attempt at a smile, 'I would haveoffered you a very good cigar instead ofyour pipe. IVrhaps you can jjet thecase out of my breast-pocket. Thanks,there are matches on the mantelpiece.Now, tell mo exactly how the matter:t inds.'

He was trying his be<t to keep upheart. There wasplenty of time still tospare, if he took a hansom all the wayto Kind's Cross,

'Tellme what the charge is,' he said.llis companionhad takeu out two of

his cigars, and pocketed tbera iosteadoflighting one;

'This morningI,'1,'he began, 'wh^n MrMarkham's clerk arrived at the olfi c,he found his employer sitting dead inhi* chair, with a bullet through hisheart. Iwas put ac once to investi-gate the eaeo,andIdiscovered that aperson hstd been seen leaving MrMifkham'soffice comparatively latelastnig.t—

tieni^ht of the crime. That per8"n Imanaged to track, andIdisc iveredthat he went earlythis morning, amongother pUces, to » tulor's inH'tiborn,an1 piirvhaôd a suit of ready-mndecloUcs

That not > received by the tailorsw*s meof the three. The poison whoti'iidcred it, and who had b- e:i noticedleaving the dpceas< d ma i's office, was, ofcour«e ) ourself.

'Yt s,' B.*id the young man. Now Iwill give youmy account,' aid bebriefly

'ran through the particulars of his visitto thn money-lender's, and tho state ofaffairs with regard to LordOakhuret.

4 'lhat eoi»Dd» straightforward,' saidthe otlier, whcu he had heard himthroughinsilfnee.

"Itrust you will|be able to prove your case easilysir.'' Yes/ said the Viscount in despera-tion. 'But, meanwhile,Lord Oakhnrstwilldieand leaveme a beggar.'Iam really very sorry,' said the

man. He seemed, in truth, impressed.The Viscount caught at his altered

tone.'Then why don't you help me?''Idon't see how,sir.''Why, allowme two days' grace,and

thenIwill give myself up. If1canput matters straight with my grand-father,Ishall have nothing to fear,'

The man shook his head thought-fully.'Look here,' said Helliot, growingeager and hot, 'Ihayt1 twentyponruls ingold left of old Markbaoi's mon^y

—sovereigns can't be traced. I'll giveyoueighteenof them, and the dozen or8J notes, if you likv, and more whenIcomo into the money,if you'll only giveme a chance. Come, the sum is small,1know, but it in n"t muchIauk ;youcan easily say you missed me, and inthree dayp,at tt o latftst, I'll give my-self np toyou. You'llnever regret it.'

Tho man seemed to hesitate.'How many notes did you say sir ?Only three c.»n bo traced,Ibelieve.'

Tho young mau took out his pocket-book with difficulty, on account of thehandcuffr, an.l cjuuted out the notesfeverishly.

'Sixty pounds innotes and twenty ingold. Ishall want two pounds of it toget to Oakhurst, The rest is yours, andmy promise to give myself up.'

'It wouldbe nogood sir,'said the man.'IownIwant the money badly, butIwon't deceive you;Ihave men postedat the stations, with a full descriptionof you;and, ifIlet you go,you wouldonly fall into their hands.''ButIcould disgaiaemjself. Onlylet me go at or.cc : and Ifeel euro Ishallmanage everything.

'How willyou disgni«e yourself ]'Helliothad not thought; but his com-

panion threw out a suggestion.llf we were t > change clothes, it

would give you a chance,' be said,thoughtfully, "Ishould not like anotherman to get hold of you.''Agreed,' said Helliot,determined tostrike the iron whilst it was hot. ' OiFwith these

— quick ! Imust start atonce, orIBhan'tget to Oakhurst to-night.'

And, aa if conqueredby his strongerwill, the man took out his key, and un-locked the handcuffs.

1Now, off with your clothes,' saidHelliot, excitedly;and the rmn beganto obey,

lon minutes later, the young Vis-count, dressed in corduroy trousersanda clothhat,was out in the t-treetrunningfor a hansom ; and the msn who badarrested him walked away in anotherdirertion in a suit of aristocraticcut.

'Tbnnk heavenIhave another suit inmybag,' said Pleliot, as he layba:k inthe c»b, and purveyed his corduroys.His escape from a great danger had puthim in high spirits. The charge ofmurder to be met later on did nottrouble him in the least. His thoughtswent no further than the interview withhis dying grandfather.

Arrived at King's Crosi,he gave oneof his sovereigns to the cabman, rushediuto the booking-offico withbarely half-aniinute to purchase his ticket and buyan eveningpaper to read the account ofthemurder.

As he threw his b»g into the com-partment, the train began, to move.

'A. narrow shave,' he said, to him-self, sinking back against the cushions.

But the next moment he startedupand ihruat his head out of the window,lookingas startled as if he had seen aghost.

And it seemed to young ViscountHelliot that a ghost he had seen, for,standing on the platform, plain and \in-

rcistakable, was Mr Paul Markham,the murdered money-lender.

As the train fctoamed out of the sta-tion, lle.lliotlaybuck in theempty com-partment completelystaggered. Thenit occurredto him to look at. his paper.

'If he is really murdered It-hall seeall about it here,' he said to himself.

But not a wordabout the tragedy wasthere in the whole paper.

Somethingelse, however caught thoViscount's eye.

It was The sketch of a notorious thiefwho was wanted for various burglariesin the City. The description of himBeemed familiar,

'Good Heavens ! it ismy detective 1'said the young mnn aloud. 'He was inthat back room at Mirkham's whenInoticed tho noise,andheard every wordIsaid. Bj Jove! it was a clever wayho didme out of the money,'

Then he went on reading the des-cription.

'The burghr was wearing a clothhat,dark coat, and corduroy trousers.'

Viscount HHliofc lookeddown at theclothes he was himself wearing.'By Jupiter! he haß given mo hisclothes as well. IfIoverget out ofthismess and come into property,IpromiseI'llspend my money well.'

The following extract from the Starof a later date, seems to show that thoyoung mankept his trord:'Lord Oakhurst, who has just suc-ceeded to the title and estate*, enter-tained yesterday,?at Oakhurst Castle,five hundred children from the poorerdistricts of Pimlico, a part of Londonwith which hi* lordship »va« wellac-quainted when Viscount Helliot.

Dr. Stables does not appear to havatouchedon that important point, tha tem-perature of the water. There are manyto whom a bath in water at the temperatureof the air for the time being is positivelyinjurious, The heroic treatment

—breaking

the ice toget at the water— is now decreedas imposicg too great a tax on the averagehuman vitality; therefore a jug of hotwator,to tako 'the edge off' the temperatureof the bfcth in winter is not tobo despised.

TheServant Question

Lidv Joune discusses the abovequestionin the Fortnightly Review with ability endinsight. We quote her concluding re-murks :

—Tht-ro is no doubt that tripconstant in-

torfercoce in some households and thesupervision ia veryirritating aod nnnecLS-eary. It would no doubt be better thatworaenHervaots should aave raoro of theirwnges than speed them in tha smart.drcssts un-1 timvellous hendgoar we «pcgoingup the ar*a steps en Sunday, Wecm hdviso them, for we have no right tointerfere, a ) long as thny keep these rt-cherchres tou.»ttes for the b-mtit of thnirfriends and tht-ir young man ; and whenthey havedone their work th>-y lire fairlyentitled to do what thpy liko for tho rejt

ofthe day. There ia only onerule whichin every houi3hold is important, that is,that thohours for returning homo at nightshould bo strictly adhered to, We donotlivein an ideal statoyet,and snch rules&renecessary;but, for myself, Icannot seewhy, if after knowing somt-thing of one'ss"rvantß' characters, and of those of thoirfriends,and we htb satisfied with them, theyouDg men vsiih whom they may be keep-ing comply shruld not under certainlimhatioQß bo permitted to come and Bbcthem at their mistress's houßt>. It is avery difficult qweption, and one whichwould need caretul thinking out, tut a longexperience among other \e»e happy womenhi6convinc-'.d me that much of iho im-morality that undoubtedly exists, and thetemptation which leads to it, wou'd beavoided if servants could meet together insome way or othor under tho recognii-edapproval of their master acd mistress.What ein afford greaJer opportunities fortemptation than what we seegoing on allaround us inLondoD, where a man andwonun keeping company, who have nofriends where they can pins their evening?,are perforce d'iveointo tho p>irks or thepu'-'lic- house '■

Great changes havo comn over tho re!n-tions between master and kervant duringtho I-ist fnw years, though they are aot bowido ad weoften imagine. T';ere ure faultßon both nides, but we owe servants a gro»tdeal :and there is one, at least, to whom awo'iian ran never bo indifferent— thenurso of her childrtn who, for miserablyiu»d»-quato wag^R, gives her 'ife and n lovewhich is imnrjipurihly pr.cious to a childtbut ivonly li«rs whiln it needs tho tendersolicitude and care which she lavishes OQit. The increased luxury and refinementof our nineteenth-century iifo inevery wayentail greater care acd refinement in ourservants' work, and the pressure of themany unexpectedincidents of tho day fal.'son themconstantly us heavily as oq our-polvrp, without any compensating er j iy-ment or pleasure. Wo cannever forget,also, that our H°rvants aud wo are all mini-hers of a large family, who cannot get onindependently of each other, and that oursi rvants are by nomeans the least impor-tnnlmembers of it;and in no relstiop oflifn'a'ive that of marriage is compromisemore necessary, and our motto should al-waysbo, ' Bpinr and forbear.' All modernlife is so different from that of our parentsand grandpurents that the in'imacy w! iIvexisted between masters and servantshasin a groat mfasure disappeared, but thehappiness aud comfort of lifo are largelyaugmented by the friondly and kindly feel-ings which still exist,and which alwaysmust continue bs long asEaglish home lifeis what it ie. 'A goodmaster makesagoodservant' ia an old but n, very trne sayingand one we may all take to heart, and tryto act on, remombeiiDg that while they arenot perfect, wo are constantly very irritat-ing and exacting.

THESPIAN TESTIMONY."THAT LITTLE COLD."

AT thepresent time the weather ia mostchangeable, and nearly everyone

suiTe r8 from cold in the head or throat.TheHe affections in their primary state arcue\er very hurtful to the^constitution,but aneglected coldis one of the worst things thatcan ever happen to a human being. Itohould certainly be attended to immediately.Warmer clothing fmust be put on, and thepatient must undergo a slight course of amedicine which will cure in the early stagesaud not allow the sutFerer to becomeafflicted withthosemost prevalentcomp'ainrs-ASTHMA,CONSUMPTION and JJKON-CHITIS.

What anumber of persons have cause toregret aneglected simple little cold, and ifthey had only thought it was goingto turnout asithasdone they would certainly havetaken thePROPER PRECAUTIONS. KutBt.illit innot too late, and why? HecauseNATURE, which provideseverything neces-sary to existence, in her bounty has given usherbs and vegetation amongst which ishidden the antidotes to sickness, and it onlyrequired the research of such a lady asMOTHER AUBERT to discover the plantswhich yield the articles of assimilation incurbing the ills brought on by a slightcold.

"MARUPA"Is tho registered name of MOTHERAUBERT S COUCH, ASTHMA,and CON-SUMPTION REMEDY.It is amedicine which should be "in every

household, and testimonyhas \>vcn giwnbyhundreds of persons of its [rood r-tFects.Notably MR WALTER 15ENTLKV andMISS MYRA KEMRLE, whose vocationbrings them under thenotice of everybody"

who runs and rea:ls," would nut havecertified to the efficacy of

"MARUPA"If it was not what it is made out to be.

There areno mineral aubstanees in ils (''im-

position, and almost for that reasonalone itis not hurtful to the smallest child, but. canbe administered withperfect safety.

Mothers, attend to that distressing coughof your little ofFspring, and Fend for abottle of

"MARUPA,"And have, cause to rejoice that in fut urey iv»your children grow up with CHHKKS LIKEROSES, and not with PALLID LIPS be-cause "THAT LITTLE COLD' was neg-loctcdin younger days.

The Frekman's Journal.(Saturday, June 4th, 1SO'2.)

Special attention is directed to the adver-tisement of the Rev. Mother Mary JosephAubert Remedies which is appearing in ourcolumns for the first time. Mr Orlando J.Kompthorno, who manages this business,informs us that the sale of thoê medicines inNew Z<*a'and is somewhat wonderful, andthat he has the greatest faitli that they willsoon come into popularity in New SouthWales. Mother Aubert has been at work inNew Zealand for thirty years, and has al-waysgiven her time, free of all charge, topersons of all denominations, to whom herassistance could be of any avail in relievingthem of their several complaints. Arch-bishop Redwood, Bishop (1rimes and LordOnslow certify to relief obtained by tho useof these remedies, and such testimony is verygratifying. Mr Walter Hentley and MissMyr;i Keinble have also written addingtheirproof to the many hundred testimonials re-ceived by the proprietor. Some time sincewe reprinted a paragraph from our NowZealand Catholic contemporary, in which itwasdeplored that Mother Aubert s remedieswore not more widely known, and suggestingamore wholesale mode of distributing themthan prevailed. It would seem that theRev.Mother has followed the advice offered onthat occasion.

"NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE

SUCCESS."Three-quartersof a year has passed since

the Aubert Remedies were first madepublic, and it certainly can now be saidthat they have earned a splendid repnta-tion. As cures for the several ills theyare recommended for, there c*ube no doubtof their good character. All medicines pubon ;v market must be reliable, because itmatters not how much you advertiseif there are not the best qualities towork with, yourmoney willbe ill spentandbring in no just return. The Remediesnndor notfee haveconclusively proved them-selves to be sterling, otherwise the saleswould never have reached their present pro-poitious,nor wouldsuch valuabletestimonyhave l.een received as is now in the posses-sion rf theproprietors.

In New South Wales, where they arenow being introduced, a steady demandhas already set in, helped to a greatmeasure by the evidence of success in NewZealand.

"KARANA"Is a very favourite medicine, owing to its'tonic and fortifying nature,' as testified toby LORI) ONSLOW. It is quite harmless

( in its action, butitis sure withgood results,and must give satisfaction tosuch persons aswill cive it a fair trial. Most persons havean idea that onebottle of medicine will eurotheir complaints, and if they do not feelquite well after taking two or three doses^they give the Remedy up in disgust. Projbabiy these people have gone onSUFFER-INO" FOR YEARS, and then, because theypop Rn article advertised which EXACTLY"FITSTHEIR COMPLAINT, they feel theyought to give ita trial; but what does thistrial consist of ? Merely a dose or two, andif in aday a cure is not effected on a com-plaint which probably has taken years to.buildup, they say the medicineiB worthless,and not worth bothering with. Few person*like to accept 'good advice, but to oneanrâll we say, if the Remedy is worth tryingat all, let it at least have a fair chance. A jbroken down constitution cannot bebuilt upagain in a day, therefore, we emphaticallysay that if

Croakers may dismally mutter that we are "

rapidly drifting to financial chaos andruin;they may shako their hoary heads and de-plorethe fact thatcapitalis slowlybutsurelyleaving the colony; they may prophesy allsorts of dismal forebodings, but the keensensible man of business will tell you thatthese are the mere drivellings of despondent

I dotage. With our vast undeveloped re-j sources of minerals, forests, arable lands,{ fisheries, and hosts of other avenues of

trade, which but a few short years will aeospringing into fresh and vigorous life, thestatement that this young country is retro-

Amongst the latest we maymention the discovery that certain herbscomprised in the New Zealand flora havehealth giving aud curative properties of thehighest order. We allude to thu AubertRemedies, for which we have to thank thatu'riuid woman,Moth<r Mary Joseph Aubert,who, from the depthsof the 'forest primeval'l:a.s culled the plants from which are ex-tracted "Marupa," "Natanata,"' "Paramo,">nd

" Kuraua." These medicines have bo-io:ro at one bound the most popularremedies of I-1 c day, and it is not only in"his colony that their worth is so much ap-preciated, but in the sister colony of NewSouth Wales they have been introduced byMr Kempthort.e with tho moat completeand..i-Miitancom siiccfsM.
