Perfect fit guaranteed, Wcsrth's Albert - street, three doors from T.M.C.A. " Out of little things what great, things arise " is' an old saying, and, in the case of tho boarding of the steamer Pathan by tho police on arrival, at Melbourne, was fully exemplified. On searching the vessel for the Irish Informers, Detective Mackaf— one of the most intelligent mombera of the force— arrested a man named Butler, who indignantly denied that he was, or had been, px- any-./way connected with the Phoenix Park tradegy, and stated that at the time it occurred he was in New Zealand, to which place he was returning. I Macky As>fced, " What part of New Zealand ?" and Butler replied, "Auckland." "And who do you know there P" queried the detective. "Why, Garrett Bros., of Wakefield-street ; arid, as a further proof, I have a pair of their everlasting boots on," And in consequence of that convincing statement he waa allowed to go at , large. Messrs Garrett Bros, still carry on their large business in Wakefield-street, and are selling off at remarkably, cheap rates. People seem to have had " Doric " on the brain lately— nothing hut " Doric ! Doric ! have you scon the Doric ?" It almost pats one in mind of an old eong, the refrain of which was being perpetually shouted in one's ears, " Oh, ; have you seen the ghost ? for the latest new sensation out is : have you seen the ghost ?" And after all what was the Doric ? A big ship, and a big sham— so much humbug to get on board; like all other shams, nothing particular when you know all about it, and nearly everything is a sham more or less, and to substitute the seeming for the true 4 is the business of no small portion of the civilized world. Out food is a sham ; the bread is by no means "as good as wheat;" the coffee we drink " knows beans ;" (the prodnet of the cane that sweetens our delicacies has had Cain raised with the process of manufacture ; oar teais far from being tea-total; our milk is the milk of cupidity, and not of human kindness. In matters of clothing the imitations are less reprehensible, -because they are known to be shams by tho purchasers ; but there is no shatn about tha clothing supplied by Messrs Munro and MiUigan, the .well-known clothiers, of Hobebn-street, who have on hand a magnificent supply Mosgiel and other tweeds and coating*. , • ■■
