Evening Post . WEDNESDAY, MAECH 10, 1880. NATIVE AFFAIRS.

Judging from the Litest telegrams received by the Government from trustworthy informants on the West Coast of this island, there seems every probability that Te Whiti wQI immediately find himself in the position of having either to put an instant stop by supernatural agencies to the road-making through the Waimate Plains, ot else to declare that it has his approval and sanction. Failing his taking one or other of these courses, it is known that a large number of his present believers will discard him as an impostor and a failure, and will give in their adhesion to the Government in order to secure themselves against being left altogether out in the cold. Under these circumstances it is deemed exceedingly probable that the shrewd old prophet of Parihaka will declare that the road-making has been proceeding under his authority and with his sanction the whole time, in which case he may, perhaps, retain his influence for a while. In any case, now that the roadmaking has been begun on the Taranaki tribe's land for the first time, Te Whiti can hardly any longer avoid committing himself definitely to one conrse or the other. If he hesitate he is lost, so far as his influence is concerned, for that would practically be a direct admission that his inspiration had failed him. It is the belief that Te Whiti speaks and acts under the direction' of Divine inspiration, that gives him, as it has given many another crazy fanatic, his power over his credulous followers. Were he known to be the ablest and most astute man under the sun, there would not be wanting many who believed secretly, if they did not confess it openly, that their judgment on some points was quite as good as his or any other man's, and that they were quite as likely to be right in their opinion as he in his. Nay, it may even be questioned whether the majority of men of all nations do not hold these views regarding their leaders or rulers. It was well observed by an old writer, that although in no respeots has the distribution of this world's benefits been more unequal than in the item of brains, yet that even here there is a law of compensation, inasmuch as "nobody deems Providence to have been niggardly towards himself in that respect." In short, most men think that they are just as clever as their neighbor in most things, and sometimes cleverer. But when the question of inspiration comes in, then the case is totally altered. The man who is unwilling to yield the pas to anybody in mental power takes np an entirely different attitude towards one who professes to speak and act with the supernatural authority of inspiration, and perhaps really believes that he is thus inspired. One man may measure his intellect or his cunning against that of another, but he cannot thus test an inspiration which he is conscious of not possessing, and which the other man solemnly declares anil evidently believes that he does possess, and 'realty may possess for aught that anybody is capable of proving to the contrary. The professedly inspired one thus occupies a pedeßtal quite unassailable from the ordinary mortal standpoint, and his merits can only be gauged by the venerable Scriptural rule of judging the tree by its fruits. This is precisely the test which the Taranaki natives are now applying to Te Whiti. He is undoubtedly a man of rare intellectual capacity, great acuteness of observation, and exceptional powers of memory, but those gifts the natives probably do not appreciate. He is apparently more or less insane, but of that the natives are not competent to judge. He claims to be an inspired prophet, and of this every native deems himself a qualified judge, because he applies the simple test of watching to see whether Te Whiti' s prophecies come true, and whether he really can wield the supernatural thunders which he professes to command. Now Te Whiti has carefully abstained from prohibiting the road making on the Waimate Plains. On the contrary, he has expressly ordered his followers not to interfere with it. But for this there is very little doubt that there would have been resistance in some shape or other. Te Whiti, however, reserved his judgment, and now he has permitted matters _to go so far without interposition that hi 3 only • course would appear to be to make his inspired deliverances fit in with the conrse of events. And this is what those who are best acquainted with the native habits fully expect he will do. We are not greatly apprehensive of his interposing any supernatural obstructions. He might at one time have offered material opposition by carnal weapons, but he has refrained from doing so, and if our information be correct, he is not able now to intervene by force of arms with any prospect but that of the utter destruction of himself and his followers. Therefore it may be taken as most probable that he will trim his sails to the wind, and solemnly approve the Waimate road-making as tending to the fulfilment of his predictions, and to the ultimate restoration' of the confiscated hind. If he do this with his customary art he may be able to retain a little longer the faith and trust of his tribe. But all this time the Royal Commission has been sitting, and the natives have' been warned that it is their last chance of preferring any claims. They see other natives flocking in orowds to .the Commissioners' Court, their claims being patiently heard and carefully investigated, and in some cases distinctly recognised. It is not surprising that Te Whxti's people should become impatient for the speedy fulfilment of hia propheoies, and that they shonld begin to waver in their alleg-janpe, unwilling to lose their ohanoe with the Commission for the sake of a supernatural utterposition which lags so unaccountably in its advent. There are good reasons to believe that this sentiment ia widely spreading; that grave doubts are growing in the native mind as to Te Whiti's good faith, and that there is a daily increasing inclination on the part of the Taranaki natives to give in their full submission to the Government. It is earnestly to be hoped that this may prove to be the case. In all probability this month' 8 meeting at Parihaka will decide the question.

Private lejbters received by the Government to-day from Taranoki continue tg express the conviction that the road-making through the land claimed by the Taranaki tribe on this Bide of the Stoney River", Waimate Plains, will be allowed to proceed peaceably without any interruption on the part of the natives. All trustworthy- reports concur in representing anything in the shape of hostilities as in the last degree improbable. They describe Te- Wbiti as resolved that the peace shall be maintained at all costs. It is thought that Te Whiti probably will proclaim %q the next Parihaka meeting that the road now befog made across the Waimate Plains is in preparation for the predicted visit of his Excellency the Gbvernor to Parihaka, when Te Whiti and Sir Heroules Eobinson are to settle everything satisfactorily for the interest of the Maoris, who will have their confiscated lands virtually restored, either directly, or by receiving full yajno for them. This is anticipated as Te White's next prophetic move by the "knowing pneg" yn. native matters. Time along can show whether thgir prognostioatione are oorreefc. It is understood that the Eoyal Commission on Local Industries will consist of Messrs. J. W. Bain, M.H.8., W. A. Murray, M.H.E., E. Wakefleld, M.H.8., and two others, who have not yet been appointed. It is rumoured that Mr. A. J. Burns, tbe former member for Roslyn, may pos3ibly be the fourth^ but fiQthing is yet definitely known on this poiqfc, matter being in the hands of the Premier, who is now absent from Wellington. Thff members of the Eoyal Commission on the Civil Service now in Wellington — Messrs. A. Sanwfora, M.H.E., and C. Pharazyn — met informally op Monday and yeg» terday to arrange preliminaries with the view of saving time. These consisted chiefly in preparing lists of returns, reports, &c, which it was purposed to ask the Governto supply to the Commissioners. Mr. T. Kelly, M.H.E., the third member of the j Commission, arrived this morning from the ; North; and the fourth. Sir Robert Douglas, who left Auckland yesterday, is expected in a day car vwo. Messr,§ . Saunders, Pharazyn, arid KellV met 'this 1 morning and resolved *" '- ¦. • -• % • r • X

that they would not proceed >to £he election ' of a chairman and' .tfce%appoinsmen§££f-^di secretary and shorthand writer untflaM the^ Commissioners were preseirfb* It is not yet definitely known whether & fifth member of I the Commisaion,will be appointed_ar»Jf so. who it wfll be. --^^-^^ A short time f ago mentioned,. -on the authority of Mr. OHivier.'fhat aalfficulty had arisen. iiLjegard jto the titles of the sections of the Thorndori reclaimea'Tfno^ sold/*! by the late Government, which might result in the purchasers repudiating their bargains, and consequently in a heavy loss to the Treasury. We are glad, however, to learn that the matter has at length been satisfactorily settled. Three of the purchasers instructed Mr. ODivier to proceed for the recovery of the sums they had already paid | on deposit, but in two of those cases, his clients receiving an assurance that their titles should be validated if necessary by a special Act of the Legislature next session, expressed themselves satisfied. The third declined to accept a promise of future legislation in lieu of a good present title, and determined to proceed for the recovery of some £6000 which he had already paid. The Government, however, agreed te give a good and indefeasible title under the Land Transfer Act to the purchasers of the reclaimed land, and as this is just as valid a title as a Crown grant, the purchaser consented to accept this offer, and the matter now may be regarded as finally settled. The Board of Education have had a windfall. At the last ordinary meeting, Messrs. Hutchison and Bunny were appointed a deputation to wait upon the Government to ascertain in what way the Board's exhausted exchequer could be replenished. Mr. Hialop informed the gentlemen on their presenting themselves at the Ministerial offices, of the Education Department, that the sum of £4500 had been apportioned to the Wellington District out of the £50,000 supplementary vote for school buildings, which had been passed last session. The Board subsequently received a written communication to that effect. This timely accession to their funds will enable the Board to proceed at once with the new Te Aro schools in Upper Willis-street. Mr. Turnbull is already preparing plans and specifications, and we understand that tenders will be called for in a few days. Seven nominated immigrants for this port, who came out by the ship Westland, which arrived at Lyttelton recently and was sent into quarantine, having scarlet fever on board, were brought on hither by the s.s. Wellington, and arrived to-day. It is the intention of the ladies connected with St. Paul's Sewing Society to hold a sale of work in the church-room, Tinakori Eoad, in Easter week. Several handsome and valuable gifts have already been received by the society, among them a beautiful collection of pressed ferns, named jmd classified. The committee will thankfully acknowledge any contributions or donations Jrrom l those interested in church work. The proceeds of the sale are to be devoted towards paying tho rent of the church-room, Tinakori Eoad. Mrs. Batkin, Tinakori Eoad, kindly offers to receive all parcels addressed to the Secretary, St. Paul's Sewing Society. c: - .. - The examinations' under the : Law Practitioners' Acts for admission to the New Zealand Bar will commence on Monday, the 15th instant,, at 10 a.m., throughout the colony. The examination for the Wellington District will be held at the Supreme Court House. The following three tenders for outbuildings, &c, in connection with the new Thorndon Schools have been received by the Board of Education : — Accepted — William Layton : outbuildings, .£297 ; fencing, £15 per chain ; drain pipes — 6in, Is 3d per foot ; 4in, Is per foot. Declined— E. B. Haughton : buildings, .£365; fenoing, .£23 13s 6d per chain ; pipes — Gin, 63 3d per yard ; 4in, 5s per yard. Compton Bros. : outbuildings, &c, £408 15s (incomplete). An accident occurred in Wellington yesterday through the bursting of a gun, by which one of our Artillery cadets, 1 named E, Grigg, very narrowly escaped losing his life, or sustaining -severe injnries. Grigg was firing at the butts with one of the old Knfield carbines supplied to the corps, when suddenly the gun burst about"sin fronvthe muzzle, scattering the fragments in all directions. One large piece ¦strack Grigg on the shoulder, .but merely glanced "by, doing him no injury. -- His' escape, however was almost miraculous. The carbine was a very old one, and apparently unfit for service. It is very necessary that some system of inspection should, be adopted by which it may be ascertained that the cadets are not armed with weapons which may reasonably be expected to " go off " in an unexpected and most perilous way. The emigration from Great Britain in 1878 was calculated by the Eegistrar-General at 112,902 ; the immigration during the year being no less than 77,951. , Of the emigrants, 54,000 went to the States; 10,652 to the North American Colonies ; and 36,479 to the Australian Colonies. From Ireland alone the Eegistrar-General estimates that between 1851 and 1877 inclusive not less than 2,453,000 persons emigrated. A meeting of an interesting kind was held last evening in the Primitive Methodist Church, Webb-street. A number of friends assembled to bid farewell to Mr. James H. Luke, who has been for some years an active worker in the connection, but is now leaving for the Manawatu District to enter upon probation for the Primitive Methodist ministry. Addresses testifying to the e3teem in which Ke is held were delivered by several speakers. The Rev. D. Dutton, F.E.A.S., occupied the chair, and music was rendered by the choir ; but the chief feature in the ! meeting was a presentation made by the Eev. W. S," Potter, of a large album and a portmanteau, to Mr. J. H. Luke, on behalf of the Sabbath School teachers and scholars. Mr. Luke replied in feeling terms. The usual weekly meeting of the committee of the Benevolent Institution was held yesterday afternoon. Eleven members; were present, being presided over by ' Mr. J. G. Holdsworth. A large number of applications for relief were considered and disposed of, and the following subscriptions were announced: — Rev. C. M. Thompson, £1 ; Hon. E. Hart, M.L.C., £8 8s; New Chum, 10s; "V,"53. Mr. Mansford proceeded to the Hutt'this morning, for the purpose of presiding over the Eesident Magistrate's Court, the Assessment Court, and the Licensing Court. The second subscription concert of the Choral Society's 17th season will be given at the Arcade, Manners-street, to-morrow (Thursday) evening. The first part of the programme will consist of a short selection from Handel's " Samson," including the famous " Dead March" from " Saul," which is usually played in " Samson " at that part where the death of the hero js supposed to take place. In this instance it will be given with grand effeot, and should bo a special attraction. The second > portion of the programme will comprise miscellaneous seoular selections, including a grand pianoforte solo by Mr. Angelo Forrest. From statistics recently published respecting the position of the public debt of the. United States, we learn that on the Ist of November, 1879, the actual indebtedness was £403,369,000. During the finanoial year ending June 30th, 1878, the public debt was reduced by .$4,871,000, making a total reduction since March, 1869, of £100,493,000. In l§6o the entire debt was less than .£12,000,000, equal to not quite 8s per head of population : in 1865 the civil war had increased the debt to .£551,286,000. Last year the debt had been reduced to about £8 6s per head. Young Scott will start on his 24 hours' walk on Friday night. It is understood that on this occasion he will strain every nerve to accomplish 112 miles, as some heavy wagering depends u^on it. Monsieur Verletta will also give a display of hi§ wonderful wirewalking Qjvpabilitjea, and it is not unlikely that a match will be walked between the two well known pedestrians J. Neary, of Wanganui, and A. Armstrong, of Wellington. The programme issued by the DruidVfor their fete on Easter Monday is an exceedingly attractive one, and will probably induce a great crowd -to go ont to McNab's Gardens, at the Hutt, on that day. The athletic sports are likely to secure good entries as, nothing of the kind has been on the tapis for some time, and our athletes are no doubt anxious to enter their favorite arena. The prizes are now on view in Mr. Summerfield's ! window in Lambton Quay, and appear to be j of considerable valne. Messrs. A. King and G. Purdie have undertaken to do the handi- j capping. 1 The Education Board have received the sum of £4,500 from the Government, and will consider the mode of distribution at the next ordinary "meeting. It is very nice, no doubt, to secure a prize at a theatrical gift distribution, . but the thing has its drawbacks. The good fortune of the possessor of the tioket called out by tho distributor generally rouses envy in the boioms of the disappointed ones, and this is apt to lead to remarks more personal than polite. Last night, for instance, when Mr. B&chelder called upon No. 285 to receive a handsome meerschaum pipe, the unalloyed joy wh^ch lit up the face 0$ the young 1 man who sprang forward in response to the invitation was considerably dimmed when a voice in the pit called out, " What's the use of a pipe when you can't afford the tobacco?" The nest prme was §Q2, a pair of sleeve-links. In response to this a ohubby-f aaed boy jumped over the pit barrier and- held out his ticket in triumph. But his triumph qujckjy evaporated under the cutting advice uttered by no means in a whisper, ".You'd better get a shirt now/ No. 64 was called on to take a bar of soap. There was no triumph depicted on his face—he knew well enough what was in store for him, and he was not disappointed. "The sooner you use it the better!"

w> — w*~- — ~m i ¦^'Thffe tho first soap you've touched for a Ipnfigpme," S&c., &0., are specimens of the JfaflKr^bns which he "had to bear as well as he .could. A well-known Benedict no doubt thonght he was quite safe in claiming a handsome cabinet portrait frame which fell "fcfßisldfc, birfc the'-blush that suffused his face on being told that it would do for his mother-in-law/ indicated the existence of some truth in' the report that the happy man j^jpuld^have^^been happier if he had only married" oneo? We "Tatnfly. But when the silver watch was allotted nothing surely could quench that beam of satisfaction which shot from both the eyes of the fortunate youth who held the winning number. Proudly he gave his name and address, and as proudly he showed the watch to the admiring crowd. But when the first rude man told him quite loudly that " Old Cohen would have it in the morning," he hastily put it in his waistcoat pocket and returned to his seat crestfallen. " Yes, it is not all bliss getting a prize at a gift distribution. It is the intention of the Government to proceed at once with the erection of the Wellington Railway Terminus on the Eeclaimed Land, opposite to the entrance to the Eailway Wharf, and tenders will be called for immediately, the plans having been ' ready for a longtime past. The goods station j will also be gone on with ; but as the plans for that building were drawn on the understanding, that it would be placed on the proposed new reclamation beyond Pipitea, it is considered necessary to revise them, in order to make sure that they will prove equally suitable under -the present arrangements. If not, the needful alterations will be made forthwith, and tenders invited at the earliest possible date. A good deal of business was done at the meeting of the Hutt County Council after we went to press yesterday. Mr. S. B. 1 Johnston was appointed clerk of work 3 for the Mungaroa to Waikanae road contract. It was resolved that any balance of money available for the Mungaroa-Waikanae line, after providing for the erection of the two bridges, be expended in the formation of a bridle track,. 4ft in width, from the end of the present road towards Waikanae, and that the engineer be authorised to call for tenders for the work. Mr. Thomas Eobinson was appointed rate-collector for the KaroriMakara Highway District. A short conversation took place relative to the danger that existed in consequence of the escape of sparks from the railway engines, and it was agreed that the matter should be brought under the notice of the Government. It was decided also that steps should be taken to abate the nuisance caused by Mr. Walton's fellmongery establishment at Ngahauranga. An application was made by Messrs. Hastwell, Macara, and Co. for a reduction in the amount they had to pay as toll for their coaches, but the Council declined to alter the present rates. The remainder of the business was of a routine nature. , It gives us sincere satisfaction to find that bur touching picture of the sad effects produced on the draymen's horses by the fearful stink at tho corner near the Queen's bond, have had some effect on the Corporation authorities. Men were at work this morning cleaning out; buckets — almost hogsheads — of the blackeat and most malodorous filth from "the drain in question. It ia to be hoped, therefore, that we shall not again have the pain of reporting horses absolutely knooked down by, the terrible stink from such fetid accumulations. Bachelder's Combination attracted a large audience at their third performance yesterday evening in the Theatre Royal. The pantascope and the display of ventriloquism by Mr. Chalet were both much admired, but the most interesting item of the programme was decidedly the distribution of gifts, and it was amusing to see the eagerness with which the holders of the successful numbers came forward to receive their prizes. The following are the principal prizetakera at the Nelson rifle meeting : — Purnell, Wanganui, £46 and silver medal; Thomas, Thames, £45 10s, Champion Carbine Belt, and gold medal; Okey, Taranaki, £41, Champion Rifle Belt, and gold medal ; Paynter, Nelson,' .£36 and Eifle Challenge Cup ; SomervQle, Wanganui, .£3l, silver medal, and Carbine Challenge Cup ; Eogers, Blenheim, .£27 10s and silver medal; Buckley, Christchurch, .£2l; Smith, Dunedin, .£22; M'Kenzie, Blenheim, .£l9 10s; Fenton, Thames, .£l9 ; Turner, Blenheim, .£lB 10s ; Gordon, Thames, .£l7 10s ; Prouee, Wellington, .£l6 ; Morris, Oamaru, .£ls ; Burr, Wellington, .£l4; Wimsett, Nelson, .£l4; Wilson, Dunedin, .£l3; Hood, Blenheim, £11 10s; Downie, Thames, .£11; Hill, Christchurch, .£10; Hunter, Nelson, £10; Acheson, Biverton, £10 and N.E.A. silver medal for largest number of bull's eyes. The above is exclusive of the 15th match (ladies' prize), as the amounts are not mentioned in the official programme issued by the association. West Coast nomenclature is curious, as the following paragraph from the Grey Eiver Argus of Bth March will show :— "The new pack track from No Town to Mud Gully, in the Candlelight district, has just been let in two sections, No. 1 being from Comet Terrace, so named after our local astronomer, who first spotted the illustrious headless visitor, at a price of .£92 ; and No. 2 section, from a point in Abe's Gully to end of track, at a price of .£133 10s." Did the local astronomer receive .£92 ; and, if so, who paid him? Charle3 Leech, *f Porirua, farmer, has filed a declaration of inaolvency. A Wairarapa journal says : — We are informed that owing to the reductions in the expenditure in the Native Department, all I the native assessors and other officials in the Wairarapa have been dismissed, and a reduction of about £400 a year has been effected in this district. As might be expected, some of the dismissed officers are not well satisfied with this new arrangement. The Local Government, Board sanctioned loans for sanitary purposes in England and Wales in 1878 amounting to .£8,170,000, making, with previously authorised loans, a sum of .£50,040,000. The gas and water loans of ten boroughs on 31st December, 1878, amounted to .£14,390,000. A meeting of the Korori-Makara Highway Board was held on Saturday, but the business transacted was of a formal character. A short discussion took place on a motion proposed by Mr. Monaghan to the effect that the Board's account should be transfeiTed from the Bank of New Zealand to the Colonial Bank. The motion was ultimately rejected. The Board adjourned for a month. The Carterton Eifle Volunteers on Monday evening presented Mr. Archibald Campbell with a valuable silver-plated tea and coffee service, at a dinner got up for the occasion, at the Marquis of Normanby Hotel, by Host Swain, whose name is a sufficient guarantee that the dinner was all that could be desired. The service was purchased from Mr. A. R. . Hislop of this town, and was admired by onp and all. For some time Mr. Campbell gratuitously filled the post of drill instructor to the company. Their efficiency shows that his instruction has been well bestowed. Mr. Burton Boys, late captain of the old Carterton Militia, occupied the chair, and in a few well-chosen words handed Mr. Campbell the presentation, who replied in appropriate terms. A most enjoyable evening was spent, several really good songs "being given, and after the usual loyal and military toasts the party broke up. The Manawatu Herald, of the 9th, says : — I We are glad to learn that as the result of the representations made to the Government, they have reinstated Mr. Walter K. Simpson as Inspector of Sheep for the RangitikeiManawatu subdivision. Some of our town readers will be interested I in the fact that a majority of the County Council of Manawatu have determined to ! levy a shilling county rate upon all rateable property within their jurisdiction. The Herald considers this course is greatly to be regretted, considering the heavy depression under which Manawatu in common with the rest of the colony is suffering. We hear good reports of the Momahaki deferred payment settlement near Waverley. [ The Wanganui Herald says that the settlers have complied with all the conditions, and much more, notwithstanding the fact that they have been compelled to submit to great difficulties. In the first place they had to undergo the ordeal of the auction system, and were rushed up to something like .£6 an acre on the average. The land was broken, the access to it difficult beyond conception, and the sections too small. Then, soon after the selections were taken up, the threats of native outbreaks were continually disturbing the securityof €he settlement. We do not wish to see another small farm settlement established under the same circumstances, but it affords evidence of what can be done if proper facilities are given to small capitalists to obtain land for hana fide settlement. Referring to Mr. Franok's totalisator, the Wanganui Chronical says : — Whether the j use of this instrument is an infringement of the patent rights which Mr. Franck claims to possess, and we believe really does possess, remains to be seen. At all events, he has stated hfe intention of taking proceedings if any but his own totalisators are used. We think it is to be regretted that some arrangement could not have been made with him. If we are to have the totalisator, let us have the advantage of the genuine article, which Mr. Nathan's certainly ia not. The Oamaru Man says 1— " The prospect of oats becoming even a greater drug in the market, owing to the vastness of the new crop and the large quantity of old oats still held, added to certain concessions made by the. shipping companies, has had the effect of inducing a number of Canterbury farmers to ship parcels of oats Home. This should be welcome news to all holders of oate, as affording some amount of relief to an overburdened market. In view of the fall in prices which have been threatened in the Colonial markets, and the very evident determination of dealers to act in concert and

so keep prices down to their own level, it would be well for our farmers to consider whether some means of shipping away a portion of the surplus stock of grain on their own accounts cannot be devised." In the course of an article on bankruptcy, the South Canterbury Times says : — It is to be feared that the ordinary delicacies and restraints of commercial life are wearing off. In these hard matter-of-fact times the question that is constantly cropping up in commercial transactions is not— ls it right ?or Is it wrong ? but— Will it pay ? If Smith can settle his liabilities with a penny in the pound and a Judge's order, Jones, who pays his demands in full, must be considered a slow-coach and a fool — too honest to thrive. In addition to this, Jones is victimised, for, indirectly, he is made to pay for Smith's defalcations. Or, supposing Smith is honest, which, we premise, is sometimes the case, Jones has still to make up the discrepancy. Creditors, in self-defence, learn to insure themselves against bankrupts, just as the owners of inflammable property insure themselves against fire. Digestion is simply the reduction of food into a liquid form. Before the food passes into the blood-vessels, as it necessarily must, before it can nourish the system, it is essential that it should be emulsified. In this condition it is taken up by the absorbents, and by some mysterious process converted into blood. This transmutation or conversion must be complete, else follow, in unmistakable train, dyspepsia, indigestion, heartburn, and like ailments. To perfect the process, use Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Abomatic Schnapps.— {Advt.J Notice. — Sander & Sons Eucalypt Extract, under the distinguished patronage of hi 3 Majesty the King of Italy ; the most reliable curative, preventive, and disinfectant known.
