A paragraph in the San Francisco mail news affords a curious example of the times At tbe faneral of Dr. Pusey, the Premier was one of the pall-bearers, and Cardinal Newman walked beside the coffin. Most of the dignitaries of the University were present, and the flags in the city were at half-mast. Mr Gladstone, in some sense, may be regarded as a pillar of the low church or evangelical party, while the deceased clergyman was reputed to have turned more Protestants over to the Roman Catholic faith tflan a Catholic miseionary could have done. In 1843 Dr. Pusey was suspended from preachinar before the University on account of a sermon on the Holy Eucharist; in 1865 he published a treatise entitled " The Church of England a portion of Christ's one Holy Catholic Church." In 1882 ho dies and Protestant and Catholic dignitaries alike show honor to his memory.

Shortly before 3 o'clock the Artillery and Rifle Volunteers mustered in Tennyson street, and marched, to the residence of the deceased in Madeira road, where the funeral procession was formed in the following order ;—Captain Blythe and Rifle Volunteers (firing party with reversed arms); Rifle and Artillery Bands playing alternately the Dead March gun carriage, drawn by two horses, and bearing the casket upon which were placed the British flag and the cap and sword of the late Colonel; seven mourning; carriages; F. Battery N.Z. Artillery; Majors Routledge, Richardson, Scully, and Captain Kelly. Captain Garner, Lieut. Cato, and Sub.-Lieuts. Rosa and King acted as pallbearer. Major Routledg'e, officer command-

The name of Mr Van Eesselburghe, of the Royal Observatory of Brussels, may yet rank with that of Edison. He has discovered that the ordinary telegraph wire can be used for telephonic transmission, and experiments have justified the accuracy of that discovery. In like manner the inventor of " Sucrar "Worm Cakes for Children " has proved himself a benefactor of the whole human race, as thousands upon thousands of parents everywhere ctn testify. All ordere should be addressed to Professor Moore, Medi3al Hall, Waipawa.—[advt.]

The danger of a relapse is often as great as the perilous character of the disease that assails us. It is moat frequently when the patient is convalescing that the eignal of alarm is sounded by the sentinel of caution. Prudence may carry us safely through dangerous phases of a disease, but a single indiscretion may turn the scale against us. Heed then the voice of admonition, and by a discriminating use of Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aeomatio Sohnapps fortify the systetn against relapses.—FAdvx.)
