[united pbess association.] (age specials, via bluff.) London. December 22. The appointment of Mr John Douglas as Acting High Commissioner for New Guinea is only of a tentative character on account of the uncertainty that exists pending a permanent settlement with the colonies regarding the future administration of affairs in British New Guinea. December 25. The Post Office authorities invite tenders for the carriage of Australian mails, to take effect on the expiration of the present contract with the P. and O. Company in January, 1888.

The classic Tiber is once more to become a commercial highway, a line of steamers having been built to run between Rome and Genoa. The Bank of England holds one-seven-teenth of the total deposits in the banks of the United Kingdom, which amounts to £540,090,000.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or cowvterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., wiih variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word " Hop" or " Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. _ Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. — [Advt.]
