The new publication, " Rural Now Zealend," is a phenomenal success. The entire edition of over 8,000 ia sold before leaving the publishers' hands, the largo banking, insurance and other corporation and business firms having cleared off the whole of it. Mr Houpliton has supplied what is commonly called "a long felt want"—a want which, if our Government and business people had been truly alive to the interests of the community would never havo been felt. If we aro to compote with other countries in attracting the best class of immigrants we must make our resources known by widely advertising' them. Instead of doing that tho whole enemies, or a large part of the energies, of thecommunity, to ppeak moderately, have been devoted to deciding who should orshonki not have the privilege of taxing us and calling the people upon whom we conferred tho (to them) inestimable privilege of doing co, ulnteamen. The public whoso whole interest?are not absorbed in politics, theoaophy, and the fcotalisafcor, may each and all assist in the elVorb of tho publishers of " Rural Now Zealand," by buying one or more copies and sending them to their friends. U'onra convinced thai if the public at largo would do this thsy would do more to promote the prosperity of the colony than could he accomplished by the passing of many Acts of parliament. Tho cost of postage b Hd. The books are on m\o by all booksellers, and atao on a stand in front of the Post Office.

Tho first edition of "Rural New Zealand," S.OOO copies, weighs exactly 2,2301b,. bo over ft ton of illiiatyu'e'l liiamtrurv about New Zealand is now on iM ivny for gratuitous distribution in England. Not so bad for a start. Six of tho books laid Hat covers square feet, 8,000 cover cliwo on 7,000 square feet. That would thatuli a good-sized barn. "When tjuotii!!) has buen sent to thatch a county in England, people there will begin to understand there is a iliiioronce betwoon Now Zealand and New Uuinea. Let 'cr fin, Gallagher! Who is the young lady in Auckland who ha;-'-lardy inherited money? The "Tomple of Truth," Worthiugtoh'a chapel, doesn't pay. Tha "Students of Truth," as thoy are called, were noc wealthy, and they have —or moot of them have—ruined themselves, iriortgitfred their little sections and homos, turned their properties into cash to pay for building and decorating this temple and a twelve-roomed house for Worthinp;ton. Their weekly collections, upon which he has to live, have, in consequeace, fallen olf. Another wife with money is, therefore, a necessity for him. Hence the removal of tho present and tho talk of the futr.ro mistress of his battered heart and really beautiful home. He was in Auckland a few months ago lecturing and looking around to Gee if your soil was prolific, with a view to a possible change oE residence. The climate, however, didn't scorn to Biiib him, but ono young lady did. Who is she? For the rest, see tomorrow's '"Graphic." This is part of a sensational article, "The Unmasking of WorUiinjjton," specially written for that journal by ono who knows all the facts. Tho attention of our readers is directed to tho advertisement of Dr. Frikarb, of Wellington, which will bo found well worth perusing. The doctor lias established vorv central consulting rooms nnd laboratory in the Empire CJity, afc 14, Brandon-street, with every convenience and requisite for tho successful treatment of brain, spine, skin, blood, and chronic diseases of cither sex. Dr. Frikarb has obtained considerable distinction, and recently held the appointment oi House Physiciau to the new Women's Hospital, London. Amongst the numerous diplomas the Doctor has obtained, are those of Doctor of Medicine, Licentiate of Kins and Queen's College of Physicians, Dublin (Ireland); Licentiate of Midwifery of samo College ; Praktische Arzt, Zurich University ; and tho Staats Examen of Berne University — truly a magnificent record. French, German and Spanish, as well as English is spoken and written by the Doctor, therefore most nat;onalities may consult.
