Mr \V. Wilson, Revans street, Newtown, Wellington, N.Z., writes: —"My liver has given me a lot of trouble. Not long ago I had liver blotches all over my lace, ami tried all sorts of things, but obtained no relief. On the advice of a friend I fried Chamberlain's Tablets, and before 1 had taken two bottles the blotches had disappeared troubled since." For sale everywhere. ... The Greymouth correspondent of the Lyttelton Times writes: —During January over two hundred men applied for work at the Greymouth Labour Bureau, and of this number about one hundred and twenty were provided with work on the railway extension at the State' collieries. There can -he no denying that from a worker's point of view the present is a most critical period.

The only surety valve* to the presence of unemployed is the railway works at the State collieries. Over one hundred men have been sent to work there during the past month, making the total number of "men employed there nearly five hundred. A rumour is current in town to-day that a slight reduction of wages of sawmill hands is about to be enforced. The late Mr Alexander Henderson, ex-detective of police, whose death at Auckland was reported last week, was formerly one of the best known police officers'in the Dominion. He joined tinforce in lS7i', and for some time was engaged on gold escort work, in the halcyon days of goldmining in Otago. In 1874 hi- was appointed to the detective force in Otago, and since that time he had served in various towns, notably in Dunedin, Christehurcli, Wellington. Gisborne, and Auckland. He held the rank of Chief Detective up to the time of his retirement. Four months ago he was given three months' leave of absence, and at the expiry of that period he retired on superannuation. The deceased officer was recognised as being one of the most capable in the service, and his ability as a prosecutor was undoubted. He was particularly well known in Olago, where the news of his decease will be received with deep regret by a wide circle of comrades and friends.
