lespondenb of the Sydney Mail, om Wady Haifa on the 16th ays : — Anything more ludicrous ippearance of the British force, reneral Commanding-in-Ohief to ondent, from the Cornmigsariatirbo tries to keep up his dignity ad gold jacket, to Tommy Atkins, carbel with a palm branch and mily beef for a bait, when he gets in the hcut of day or the evening, e. imagined even by the getter-up Lane pantomime. Ib would be a >r the proprietor of a Christmas ent of this sorb to introduce on a representation of the British ie Soudan, with goggles, mushroom helmets, or pith helmets, and very dirty or variously faded puggaries, greasestained light grey serge; boots of every size and make, from tan jack boots to canvas slippers; veils, which by the variety of hue and more particularly by their invariable contrast with the costume worn, would disgrace the road to the Epsom Derby, and, must ifc be added, a display of woollen shirts without collars, the uniform jacket being kept open for conveniance, which would shock the susceptibilities of a colonel of the 7th Hussars, the proud privilege of which regiment it is to wear collars and cuffs on parade — a privilege in days gone by, in days of stocks, in fact, reluctantly accorded even by the Duke of Wellington. An innovation in the Dunedin Jockey Club's meeting, might be with advantage initiated by other Clubs. The Benevolent Institution the other day received from this racing institution a cheque for £70 17s 6d, being the proceeds of the Totalisator Benevolent Gift Race ab the recent spring meeting.

The Test of Actual Trial. — This is what proves the merit of a preparation. The proprietor of Green's August Flower, knowing its valuable properties, meets this test boldly by preparing Barnple bottles of this remedy, which are sold at 6d. This enables doubters to try its virtues at a trifling expense. August Flower is a panacea for Dyspepsia and all disorders of the liver, including Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, &c, &c Three doses will relieve any of the above, and a faithful use will certainly cure. No medi cine in the world has ever given such proof of its merits. Druggists recommend it with per feet confidence and physicians prescribe it regularly. Price for full sized bottles 3s 6d. Sold by all druggists. Dont Die in The House. — " Rough on Rats" clears out rats, mice, beetles, roaches bed-bugs, flies, ants, insects, moles, jack-rab-bits, grophers, Kempthorne, Prosser & Co.
