Why wait for that hoarseness to 'wear off/ when Zymole Trrokeys will stop it so much quicker? Dis~ aigi-eeable coughs are often, (avoided by the us© of Zymole Ttrokeys. . * The death of John Whiteford, says the Dunedin Star, touches public interest at two points. In the first place, this man, apparently deep sunk in poverty, living in a mean nut and alone, had comparative wealth—£l3oo banked—and in the second place, he died literally from a "broken" heart. Here is no sentimental application of the hackneyed phrase.

The despised Celestial!' The Wellington Benevolent Institution recently received a. letter from Mr Yung Liang Hwang* Chinese Consul in New Zealand, with reference to the case of a blind Chinese gardener who applied to the trustees for assistance. The trustees undertook to supplement by £4 some £12 or £13 raised by the suppliant's fellow countrymen. The Chinese Association have since seen the Consul, and he mentioned to the deputation the contribution which had been made by the institution. He was informed by members that over £30 had been collected by Wellington Chinese for their unfortunate compatriot with the object of sending him back to China to enter a native benevolent institution. The Wellington Chinese Association also requested the Consul to return the £4 with thanks to the Benevolent Trustees, on the ground that the needs of the case were already fully met. Concluding, the Consul wrote: " I quite appreciate the delicate feeling of the Chinese in this matter:, and at the same time I cannot be ignorant of the good, service which the Wellington Benevolent Institution has so nobly rendered to our unfortunate* Chinese; in .the past, .and for which I personally feel very grateful." ; '. /' ~/
