It is many years since New Zealand has advertised for such a highly-salar-ied officer as the “general manager of railways,” whose £3OOO a year is now agitating quite a number . of wellposted officials in all the British railway companies (saye the London correspondent of the “Otago Daily Times.”) The sum is a good one for a first-class man, especially with a five years’ engagement and passage for his wife an family. The High Commissioner is circulating to inquirers a quantity- of information about the New Zealand system, its mileage, employment (14.000 hands), capital- invested (£32,000,000), and ratio of expenditure to receipts. The circular continues:—“The policy in railway management is determined by the Government, and is communicated to the General Manager through the Minister for Railways, who is the supreme head of the department, hut who directs the policy only. The General Manager exercises administrative control in respect to the operation of the lines; he would thus make recommendations to, the Minister regarding the fixing of rates and charges, and wages payable to the railway staff, and the general conditions governing its employment.” “Efficiency and economy in management” are the essentials. The date of closing of receipt of applications is indeterminate. HAD A WEAK CHEST.

“My son Frank would not be alive to-day had it not been for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” writes Mrs A. M Buckley, Balumbia, Brisbane, t). “He had a weak chest and was subject to attacks of croup but Chamberlain s Cough Remedy has brought him safely through and now he is strong and healthy.” Sold by E.
