* i - * £JONUNDRJMS_ WHOLESALE In reply to oui advertisement" Kano* roo," who, unless ie is uncommonly active could not keep j ice with his own conun' drums, sends us be following. He little thinks we have ver 2000 already, or he would doubtless 1 ive spared us the' threat to send along anofeer batch. If oar readers want to know who are the punsters, riddle makers, tic compilers, and puzzle in. ventors of Msw Zealand, let them offer a prize, as we ha done, and if they have the same luck tithing but suicide or the madhouse will sap them. Doctors, clergy. men, lawyers, oflttersof the fleet, ladies under and Over 17 (or "3 for that matter), children in their teens, an lout of them white, black bond, and free will all contribute their quota, at least v 3 have contributions from them all; and yet in the majority of cases they have missel the cardinal condition" of our offer, which was that the Waterburv watch should b» the theme, and not a conundrum on < watch, with Waterburv added, but realy unattached ! We have had riddles turnkd out on the co-operative principle, the outcome of evening parties Bible classes, oi other meetings of the sexes. Others hive been evolved over the dinner tables of our hotels, in friendly rivalry amongst the guests. Some are sent in, carefully envelbped in perfumed wrappers, with monogrjm and nora de plume, all ait fait. Others ate juvenile, badly spelt and penned in honest round hand between set pencil lines. A; few are illegible as a whole or in part, pmd harder to"»limb" than a monkey's puzzle. But none forget to add the address fvhere the Golden Waterbury is to be sent, ind by the strangest of coincidences there is no ambiguity or uniritelligibility about that part of the epistle. Oh, no, that is all right. One or two have brought their's roind, and after commending their efforts to our kind consideration have suggested ail adjournment to Wains, or have "winked I the other eye." We remained of course immaculate; the best proof of this being that the prizes have not yet been awarded. Some contributors suggested that " Civi3" should be the judge ! Now we fhould like to know who " Civis" is? Are almost certain that he is a contributor, and that this suggestion came from him. Shouldn't wonder. Happy thought; can't trust " Civis." Must get some other humourist, possibly Miss Morrison or H. S. Fish. However, we have digressed, and now give way to Kangaroo :— 1. Why is the old series Waterbury like a kangaroo ?Answer : Because it possesses a tremendous sprUg. 2. Why is the sale of the Waterbury Watch like a kangaroo? Answer: Because it progresses by leaps and bounds. 3. Why are tie Waterbury agents like a kangaroo?— : Because they never get their tails between their legs. 4. Why is the- Waterbury Watch like the sun? Answer :\ Because you can depend upon it being up bo time. 5. What is the difference between the Waterbury Watch and most of our goldmining companies ? Answer: The one is wound up, started, goes till it runs down, and you have a capital watch ; j the other is started, you have to watch your capital going till it run down, and then—it's wound up. You know. | Agent Waterbury Watch Co. I put the " cons." first, because I reckon that's the place they should occupy in your list of prizes, i reckon, like the baby, they can't be beat. So kindly send on the " ticker "at your earliest convenience. If these don't take, the cake (watch, 1 mean) just say so. I have a few more by me, and can trot them out to suit; in fact, I could do 'em by contract. " Barkis is willin'," sc just pay the word;and oblige " Kangaroo.' PoliticalRATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW I ZEALAND, AUCKLAND DISTRICT. .7 , ; , ; The Council invoke the patriotism of the people of New Zealand, in order to secure their zealous assistance in bringing into active operation through out the colony a network of institutions co-operat-ing for the r accomplishment of i objects deeply affecting the general well-being. The direction of recent legislation and of that foreshadowed, is alarming enough to rouse the attention of all those who pretend to a concern for the public welfare. The Council hope for hearty help and sympathy from all true colonists, and trust they will sink minor differences, and combine for the National good. . . The Objects of the Association are : 1. To create a national sentiment; and to form into one solid body all those who object to socialistic legislation. / 2. To promote reforms, economic, legislative, and constitutional; to protest against undue interference with the rights and liberties of the subject ; and to oppose class legislation. 8. To protest against any alteration of the land laws that tends towards the destruction of freeholds, and to encourage bona-tide settlement. 4. To show the fallacy of the principle that Jaipur and capital are antagonistic; and to prt.ve to the working man that his worst enemy is the agitator, who uses him only as a stepping stone to political power. 5. To secure prosperity and confidence, by opposing all experimental legislation, which tends to check the legitimate use of capital, causing it to be locked up or withdrawn from the country, to the detriment of employer and employee. 6. To promote agricultural, mining, commercial and manufacturing enterprise by removing all unnecessary obstacles to their develop, ment. 7. To show the unfairness of laws so framed, that the industrious and thrifty are hampered, and put on a level with the lazy and thriftless. 8. To promote sound political economy; and to educate public opinion in the right direction, by disseminating literature giving sound reasons and arguments for out beliefs. 9. To register all members, and purge the Electoral Roll. 10. To return to Parliament capable and honourable men, who will resolutely oppose all tampering with the public credit; and whose aim will not be individual gain, but the welfare of the whole COLONY. The Council urge all sympathisers with the foregoing objects to communicate with the Secretary, MB. JOHN HASTIE, AT THE ASSOCIATIONS ROOMS, 123, QUEEN-STRE3T, who will supply them with all information relating to the Association, and place them in the way of joining the Association, or establishing branches in their districts. Remember that— "United we stand, divided we fall." "Thrift is a good revenue." GREATSAVING RESULTS FROM CLEANLINESS AND SAPOLiO. It is a solid cake of scouring soap.
