"LOLLOPING" BABYISH BOYS.

TO TUE EDITOR. Sir— I should like yery much, through your medium, to submit for public condemnation tho scandalous practice, practised by the rising generation of this community, of trying to goad to mad diatraction any, whom they may chance discover on the streets with a suspicion of being tho least thing off the balance ! I have^lately seen an inoffensive, mild inebriate—in short, molesting no ono, and quite capable of walking quietly and safely to his horne — encountered and stung by these upstanding wasp?, insomuch as to arouse within him sufficient violence as to bring him quickly under police supervision, wantonly entailing on the unfortunate wight a night in the cells, and next day in Court an oppressive fine. I have lately seen a respectable man who was but triflingly elevated, and after him no Ices than a full score of the poltroonish juveniles— the most of them having had six or seven years at school — attempting with their strident "guffaws " ani imperti nent observations to hound this respectable citizen to some act of boisterousness that might land him in trouble. I have lately seen, too, the very same game pursued by these lanky shooting-up dastards on a poor young man. Shame, shame on them, whom they were well aware to bo not altogether compos mentis. However much public education Euch lads may have obtained, it is clearly evident, is it not, that there is one sort of tuition sadly, very sadly lacking, which is the moral inculca tion around their home hearth.— l am, &c., Signalman. New Plymouth, October 17, 1887.

As electricity is superior to gas, so is Crook's American Dried Yeast superior to all baking powders. Sold by all grocers in 2d and 6d packets and 7lb tins. It stands on its own merit?, and has only to be tried once.— R. Cock. Brougham-street, Wholesale Agent for Taranaki. -— It is not justice to put one lawyer on the Btnch at n small sa'ary and allow other lawyers to talk him to death and collect large fees for doing it. " I'll explain, madame," said a grocer to a customer, who complained of the high price of butter. " You see, the exceeding parchedness of the verdure has resulted in a dearth of lacteal foundation for butter, and not until the atmosphere is rendered more humid by some astronomical procedure will the supply of oleaginous matter be increased. And she said she '• saw it." First Actor (pulling: the trigger of a revolver sis times) : " Die, you miserable villian !" Second Actor : " Your pistol has missed fire, Sir Rudolph, but I am smitten with remorse for my crimes, and will die according to your will." Then be rolled on the stage in agony, and "pegged out straight." The curtain fell amidst roars of laughter. Mother : " Run for the doctor, John. Quick, quick; baby has swallowed a shilling ! Run ! " Mr. Money grub : " Waß it the one I left on the table ? " Mrd. M : "YeF, yes! For pity's sake, run !" Air. M.: •' Don't get excited . It's of no conqnence. That shilling is a bad one." The celebrated £i?nora Howlinski was in the middle of her solo when little Johnny Fizzletop, referring to the concuctor of the orchestra, said : "Why does that man hit at the woman with his stick?" " He is not hitting at her; keep quiet." "Well then, what does she holler so for?" NO MORE HARD TlilES. — If yon will stop spending co much on fine clolhef, rich food and style, but buy, good, healthy food, cheaper and better clothing ; get more real and substantial thmgs of life every way, and specially stop the foolish habit of employing expensive quack doctors or using so much of the vile humbug medicine that does you onl) linnr, but put your trust in that simple, pure remedy, Dr. Soule's American Hop bitters ; that cures always at a trifling cost, and you will see pood times and have good health. " ChroLicle." t th s 0c29 •' For the Blood is the Life." — Claeke's World xAMEd Blood Mixture is warranted to cleanse the blood frorn^ all impurities from whatever cause arising. For Sc.ofuln, Scurvy, Eczema, Skin and Blood Diseases, and Sores of all kinds, its effects are marvellous. Thousands of testimonials.

A few closes of the Pills taken in time are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism. Anyone who has an attack of either should use Hollowsy's Ointment also, the powerful action of which, combined with theopeiation of the Pills, must infallibly effect cure. These Pills act directly on the blood, which they purify and improve. Having once subdued the severity of these diseases, perEeverance with the Ointment, after fomenting the effected joints with warm brine, will epeedily relax all stiifness and prevent any permanent contraction, lib cc 22 ( For conlinuatioyi of nevs see 4th jmae.)
