THE Marlborough Times. PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1887.

The Financial Debate. Our (the Marlborough Times and Express) special correspondent wired us a report of the debate on the Financial Statement last night but was received too late for us to publish. We just mention this ra case oi> — contemporary should get fretful and uneasy when we publish it. Our Contemporary’s Puerility. —The denial which we gave to certain false and trumped up accusations of our evening contemporary rather took them by sur-prise-they wired to their own correspondent, who is our correspondent, and several other paper’s own correspondent. Goes the Marlborough Express suppose that we should have made such an accusation as we did were ive not. positive that wc weie right, and we still say that the gentleman who sends the Parliamentary news to our contemporary is the same gentleman \\ ho supplies the Marlborouqh Daiy Pimes. These special correspondents bavo a peculiar way of transacting their Parliamentary business bv doing work for sovsral papers, and keeping their various employers in the dark, and more power to them if they can carry out their business successfully. We must again refer to the accusations of our contemporary relative to using their report without acknowledgment. V e gave that a most positive denial, but last night their paragraph referring to us was ornamented with the words “Thou shalt not steal.” Perhaps the proprietors of tho paper would like to sec the telegram in question, and what difference does it make, we should like to know, whether it came from our Mr Jones or their Mr Brown. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Yesterdays MaLlborougli Press has the following ■ “ Plio Express has been in the habit lately of cribbing paragraphs from our columns without acknowledgment.” Tenders. —To those interested in building we might mention that tho tenders for building the new Criterion block, etc., will close on Monday the 21st inst.

The Late Scene. —With reference to the proceedings in the House on Tuesday, when tho galleries were cleared, Mr Seddon states that lie said the action taken in 1879 in connection with Mr Gisborne was “a stain upon the fair name of Sir John Hall, who moved the motion,” and that he complained that Sir Jiih'us Vogel had been wrongly (not “ cruelly”) treated by the Speaker. Who Wants Grass ?—At the meeting of the Borough Council last night Cr Parker referred to the fact that several persons were in the habit of cutting sma’l patches of grass ip r the squre which caused the place to look very v iticly. Ho thought it shoi d al 1 be cut. It was arranged that the Town Clerk be ' isb noted to make arrangements for the cutting of the whole of the grass. R.M.

New South Wales.— The Agricultural Society of New South Wales have arranged for a great intercolonial show, to he held in Sydney in January next, when prizes to the value of £3OOO will be distributed, along with centenn ; al medals, as special prizes for cxl’bits of live stock, pastoral, agricultural, and horticultural produce, as well as for manufactures of colonial products. No doubt many of our farmers and manufacturers will see the udvisablencss of sending some of their choicest specimens to tins exhibition, which is under the auspices of the Government of Now South Wales, and show to our fellow-colonists in the sister colonies that, although New Zealand is comparatively little known and littlo spoken of by the press or public of the great Australian, wc have within our shores the possibility of hoi chug our own on an equality with any colony in the whole of the British doiivnions so far as regards our natural produce and our manufactured products. Maternal Affection. —Every one is fam”’ar with the stoiy of the mother whose child had been carried off by an eagle, and who, to rescue tho cl’”d, (Ymbcd alone to the eyfie from which the boldest mountaineer shrank back appa’hid. TUs stock ’’lustration of the force of maternal instinct is now capped by a hear story from Savoy. A hear having K"cd a shepherd hoy the vi”agers orgar 'sed a hunt for the annual. The mother, armed with a gun, insisted upon accompanying the party. They came back. She iVd not. Next day tho poor woman was found lying in a secluded spot, her (Less iu rags, her anus Clashed, and lier face covered with blood. At her side was a huge bear, quite dead, its head smashed by a discharge from the gun which she had taken with her. Tho hope is entertained that she may eventually recover ; but the woman lias not yet been able to give an account of her struggle with the bear wlroh had killed her d-’ld, which must have Icon terrific. When we get the story of the snuggle it wi l ! make the grand tou” of a'l the Sunday school books in the whole English-speaking world.

Protestant Progress in South America.—Very interest ng news comes from South America to the effect that Romanism is crumb , 'ug and losing its power over tho people. English and Scotch -'mmigrants are going in and ta 1 'ng hold of tilings, so that in tho Argentine Repul>] ! o especially a new commercial and po’ tical life has commenced. The hard-headed, ti uc-hearted enterprising Scotch are making their influence felt in tho business and social and religious interests of the country. It is believed that at no distant day practically Protestant communities will bo formed, and their infl.no.,ee on tho native population (long priest-ridden and cursed with Jesuitism) already largely alienated from Romanism, is ceiiain to prove a powerful factor in tho evangelisation of the State, ‘As it is,’ says a writer, ‘at the recent general elections the Catho v c party barely escaped defeat at the hands of the Liberals, on an issue involving tho overthrow of Jesuitism, and at the next election they are certain to be ousted.’ In Bolivia, while priestcraft still apparently retains a Him hold upon Government t here not wanting indications of a popular reaction. In Ecuador, more completely in the clutches of Rome t han any other country in South America, and whose Government is practically government by Jesuits, a similar hopeful condition ox'sfcs, tlie Liberal party slowly but stcadUy gaining in power at every elections.—Philadelphia Protestant St' idard. Holloway’s Ointment and Prims.— Outward infirmities.—Before the discovery of these remedies, many eases of sore, ulcers, <fcc., were pronounced t« be hopelessly incurable, because the treatment pursued tended to destroy the strength it was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoas it was inadequte to remove. Holloway’s Pills exert tho most wholesome over the most unhealthy flesh or skin, without debarring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigour is husbanded while the most malignant ulcers, abscesses, and sk ; n diseases are in process of euro. Both Ointment and l’ilis make Die blood richer and purer, instead of permitting it to fall into that poor and watery state so fatal to many laboring under chronic ulcerations. Guilty of Wrong. —Some peopla have a fashion of confusing excellent remedies with the large mass of “ patent medicines,” and in this they arc guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and one at least wc know of ; Dr. Soule’s American Hop Bitters. The writer has had occa-ion to use the Bitters ii. just such a climate as we have most of the year in Bay City, and has always found them to be first class and reliable, being all that is claimed for tliem. “ Tribune,” We have received our first shipment o Spring Gqodsex s.s. Arawa, London, consisting of Prints, Zyphers, Lace Stripes, Galateas, Beiges, Cashmere, Serges, Gloves, Hosiery, &c. A largo assortment of Juvenile Clothing. In the Tailoring Department wc have to hand a splendid variety of new Tweed Patterns from the various New Zealand Factories, Garments made to measure on the shortest notice.
