People mostly live in hired rooms, and get their mealß at restaurants or "skoff" houses, as they are galled. Meals "cost from Is upwards, but at the lowest figure they are anything but ' inviting. Board can be obtained at a decent hotel for £4 10s per week, up to 2Ss per day at the best houses. The beef is poor and without taste, and the " mutton " is mostly goat's flesh. Vegetables and fruit are starce, apples costing as much as 2d, 3d, and 4d each, and potatoes 4d per lb. Good Australian butter may be purchased at 2s 6d por lb, and locally-made at 3s 6dperlb! The vegetables and meat come from the Orange Free State, and fruit is 'chiefly brought from Natal. There should be a good market for New Zealand produce, especially bintor and meat in Johannesburg, and large, freezing works, to hold 30,000 car- * esses, are being erected at Capetown for the purpose of supplying the interior with meat.

The keen interest taken by the New South Wales public in what is known as the Glenbrook murders was .strikingly displayed at Newcastle a ' few evenings ago. A man was seen standing near the boats on the wharf whom someone thought resembled Butler, the man wanted. Woid was sent to the police and the man at once became the cynosure of all eyes . The police treated the matter coolly ; but this behaviour did not please the crowd, who demanded that the man should be taken into custody. To satisfy the people the police at last went down to the wharf, and asked , the. man to accompany them to the police station. This he was only too willing to do, as he began to feel uncomfortable under the concentrated stare of a couple of hundred pair of eyes. At the police station he had no difficulty in satisfying the officials that, he was not Butler, and so was immediately released. The only resemblance that he' bore to the wanted man, was in his broken nose aqd in the cap wqich he wore.

Dr. S. 1?. Scott, Blue Ridge, Harrison Co., Mo., says: "For whooping cough Chamberlain's Cough Eemedy is excellent." By using it freely the disease is deprived of all dangerous consequences.

He is an old sufierer from inflammatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore beon troubled in this climate. ' Last winter he went up'into 'Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack.- "It came upon me again very acute and severe," he said. "My ioints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law, I. tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both. I have used bottles, aud believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant.
