Vogel’s Coming Speech.

Some Wellington admirers o! Sir Jaliru Vogel have asked him to address a public meeting there on the present position of political affairs. Sir Julius has consented, and the promised speech will be made at the Theatre Royal on the 20th inst. We wonder what new and ingenious schemes 11 the great political panjandrum ” will propound on the occasion. The last time Sir Julius vouchsafed ajpublic deliverance, he went iu t fora big loan, a huge expenditure on public works, and a return of “ the booming times ” which once prevailed when the first batch of millions was being spent. Cut, unfortunately, the Premier made a speech the other day advocating very cautious borrowing, and inculcating the necessity of thrift and hard work in order to get rid of the depression. The Premier’s speech must be a source of embarassmeat to Sir Julius, because it was inconsistent with his big schemes. However, Sir Julius is fertile in resources, so we daresay be will get over the difficulty and propound some new and attractive plan by which everybody is to get everything, and the whole of the colonists are to be made superlatively prosperous and happy. We shall see wbeu the time comes.

Mr John Burrows, who was acquitted of ' the charge of being accessory to stealing three ; calves, left for England in the Aorangi ■ yesterday. A man namen McVaue was drowned in Wellington harbor last Sunday. He was 1 identified by a portion of a telegram sent by Mr A. L. Whyte of Carterton. A special train will . leave Wellington on Saturday evening at 7.20 for all stations in lira Waitarapa, for which ordinary tickets will be available. The ratepayers of No 1 Ward (Mr Reynold’s) are requested to meet the TaratahrCarterton Road Board on Saturday, the 17th inst, at the Council Chambers, Carterton, for the purpose of discussing the necessities and requirements of their Ward. All ratepayers of No 1 Ward are requested to attend. We advise the Matarawa people to have a similar meeting. Mr P. H. Wood draws the special attention of both buyers and sellers of stock, machinery, and farming implements, Are., to an important sale which will be held at Martin borough on Thursday, 15th instant, at 11 o’clock, and hopes that settlers wishing to dispose of stock will take advantage of this opportunity aud forward full particulars as early us possible. The sale has boon fixed to commence at 11 a.m, as a large number of entries are expected in addition to those already advertised. The settlers in the Lower Valley should make an effort to tender these sales successful. Why should sales of stock, implements, &c. be occasionally held at Martinborough ? It is stated by a contemporary that “ Captain " Jackson Burry contemplates an early return to New Zealand, so as to bo iu time to contest the next election for Lunstan with Mr Fyke. The number of estates iu Canterbury 1 whose proprietors cannot pay the interest on 1 their mortgages is said to be at least 1000, - and that the estates will have to be brought 1 into the market.

One of the leading engineers iu Auoklaud, Mr Errington, is trying to get the City Con noil to utilise the crater of Mount Eden as a reservoir, to supply the city with water.

It seems a comical sort of idea, but as the crater will hold about 12,000 gallons of water, requires no excavating, and the pressure to be obtained would be universal, there is a good deal to be said in its favor.—Exchange Mrfi. Bunny leaves tor Nelson early next week.

The Oreytown Quadrille Assembly will hold the usual weekly danoo to-night. Mr John Dunn, tailor, of Foxton, has been drowned iu the Manawatu River at Foxton. His wife is left with a family of five children, who are quite unprovided for.

At Miwtei: in Mr George Beethcm has been appointed to fill Iho vueano' on the Chari-t-iii'o Aid Board, caused by the retirement of Mr Ouselberg, the Mayor.

\ woman named Grace Mortis, at Dunedin, in mo a peculiar defence to a charge of committing a breach of the peace iu the streets She stated that at Mr Glover's temperance meeting, MHli’s And ministers were setting up pieces of blue ribbon and worshipping them, and she was bound to protest. She was told she would be discharged, if she promised not to offend again, but this she would not promise. The Melbourne manager of the National Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand (Limited) reports of the market there as follows Shipping wheat, 4s 4d per bushel, with a rather firm tendency ; malting barley, steady, 3s fid to 4s 3d ; New Zealand feed oats, quiet, 2s 10d to 2e lid ; milling sorts, steady, Ss Id to 3s 3d ; New Zealand oats, under bond, 2s 5d to 2s fid per bushel. We have to thank the Registrar General for a copy of the appendix to the Statistics for 1884, containing a series of coloured diagrams showing the progress the colony by increase of population, trade, live stock, cultivation, reveuue, railways, telegraphs, shipping, education, industries, and other matters, based on the census of 1881. Mr F. H. Wood announces his next stock sale at the Taratahi yards for Thursday, the 22ud April, for which several entries have already been received and more are invited. The Qreytown Cricket' Club will hold a general meeting next Tuesday evening. The rabbit proof boundary fence between Victoria and South Australia will cost £85,000. There is little hope of the latter contributing a share. Enjoy Life—What a truly beautiful world we live in 1 We can desire no better when in good health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged, and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for feeling. Green's August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent, of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness. Nervous Prostration Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distressing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect.

At the inquest on the body of Charles John Harry Murray, found dead in his bed the other morning at Christchurch, the jury returned a verdict that deceased committed suicide by taking chlorodyne while in a state of temporary insanity. He left a written paper blaming bis wife as the cause of the act. He bad been drinking a little, and was out of employment. Mr B. Beetbam, the Coroner, called attention to the fact that chlorodyne, which was evidently a most dangerous drug, was not included in the list of poisons of which chemists were obliged to keep a record of sale.

Miss Amy Johns’ entertainment at Greytown on Wednesday night was attended by a small but thoroughly appreciative audience, who were well repaid for their boldness in venturing out, on such an exceedingly disagreeable night. The character singing, dancing, &c., was excellent, and the company are all star performers. They give an entertainment in Featherston to-night, and those who wish for a genuine night’s enjoyment should make an effort to attend.

There will be one more meeting of the Taratahi-Carterton Eoad Board before the triennial elections, when every member will go out of office.

The receipts in No 4 Ward, Featherston Koad Board for the year are £235 Is 5d ; expenditure. £234 4s 9d ; leaving a credit balance of only I6a Bd. At the last meeting of the Taratahi-Oarter-ton Bead Board it was proposed by Mr H. E. Bunny that five shillings should be allowed to each member, as expenses at each meeting of the Board. Messrs Braithwaite, Bunny, Dorset, and Bevnolds voted in favor, and Messrs Parker, Gallon and Grace against. The motion was carried.

A fire broke out on Wednesday night in the premiees”oocupied by Messrs MoEwen and Churchill, bakers, Lambton Quay, Wellington. The bake house was gutted, and the contents of the store room destroyed. It is pleasing to find the Carterton Public Library in such a healthy condition as regards finances. The new year has commenced with a credit balance of £43 13s 7d, and the committee have ordered a further supply of new books to the amount of £SO.

i An extensive laboratory has been estabi lisbed in Melbourne for the production of “ Warner’s Safe Remedies," and judging by ; the numerous testimonials and the success of these remedies in the United States, Canada, England and Australia, suffering ones in New Zealand should try them. They are herbal preparations and are specially adapted to diseases of the liver and kidneys. Mr H. H. Warner, the senior of the firm, in 1879 was cured of a serious kidney disorder, brought on by too severe application to business, which his physician pronounced fatal, but from which he was rescued and restored to complete health by (he remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cure. In gratitude fur his recovery, Mr Warner commenced its manufacture in a modest way, but the great merit of the remedy in the subduing of all kidney and liver complaints, soon brought about a demand for it never before known in the history of medicine. We gather from the Waikato Mail of March 26,1886, the following:—At the close of the ordinary business of the Lodge Alpha, 2014, 8.C., a most interesting ceremony took place, namely, the presentation by Bro Sargent, W.M., of the address and P.M.’s jewel forwarded from St John's Lodge, 1888, E.C., Featherston. The address, which was of a most flattering character, as also was the letter accompanying it requesting Bro Sargent to make the presentation, set out the many good services rendered by Bro Brunskill, and the deep regret felt at his deparfure from the Featherston district. Bra Btunskill, P.M., in reply, expressed his deep sense of gratitude to the Featherston brethren for so handsome and flattering a presentation. Ho gave several wise counsels to the brethren present, and, in remarking upon the importanee of a lodge being well officered, congratulated Lodge Alpha on having so excellent a W.M. and Secretary, which he regarded as the two most important offices in the Lodge. In conclusion he regretted that the distance ho lived from town would prevent him from assisting very actively in Lodge Alpha, but when requited he would alwavs be willing to assist.

At Dunedin a petition was received by the Presbytery from a number of persons who had seceded from the Church, because of the introduction of instrumental music, and had formed a new congregation. They asked to be admitted into the Presbytery as a congregation, provided provision was made against the introduction of instrumental music. Consideration was deferred. The introdnotion of the harmonium or organ into the Church service has always been condemned by a section of the Presbyterian Church. It is looked upon as “ praising (lod by machinery.’ ’ Decline of Man. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, impotence, sexual debility, cured by “Wells’ Health Renewer. 1 ' Druggists Kempthorue, Prosser & Co., Agents, Christchurch.

Laery and Campbell report steady business at about last weak’s quotations, the fluctuations being but few, ami for wholesale lines we now quote ; —Flour L 9 to L 9 10s ; pollard L 5 10s to L 6, bran L 5 10s to L 5 15s, oatmeal Ll2 to Ll2 15s, pearl barley Ll7, maize Is 3d, oats 2s 4d to 2s 6d. chick wheat 3s to 3 j (id, chick barley 2s to 2s 6d, chaff Ll to Lo 10s. Potatoes continue to be in a most unsatisfactory position, it being text to impossible to obtain prices demanded in the producing districts. Salt butter BJd to 9-i, cheese Sd to 6d, honey 3Jd to 4d, hams and bacon (mixed), Banks and Dimock's, 81 to BJd ; eggs Is 6d to Is Bd, very scarce ; onions L 7 to L 9, fowls 3s 6d, ducks 3s 9d to 4s per pair, turkeys 4s to 6s each. On Friday we disposed of a consignment of bacon pigs and porkers, with a few stores. There was but a poor attendance at the sale, owing doubtlets to Friday being slaughtering day with the butchers. It would therefore be well in the future if shippers could time the arrival of pigs so that they should be sold on any day rather than Friday or Saturday. The pigs, however, in this case were placed at satisfactory prices, and averaging about 20s each. At the usual Saturday horse sale the entries were rather small (about 12), the horses were of a rather better stamp, and it is satisfactory to report that every lot sold but one. The English wool market is quiet. At Auckland, a man named Arthur Hemmett, who recently arrived from tho South, was found ill in the street, and died in the Hospital a few hours after admission. Dr Moore stated that death was from exposure and hunger. He has a brother in Christchurch.

The annual meeting of the Qreytown Fire Brigade was held last evening at the station house, Captain Baillie in the chair. The principal business was the presentation of the annual report and balance sheet and the election of officers for the ensuing year. The report and balance sheet were read and adopted, and the election resulted as follows: Captain, J Maguire This office has been energetically filled for some time by Mr Jas. Baillie, but on the present occasion be declined to stand, and the honor fell to another good worker, Mr Maguire. Lieut, A Bowers ; SubLieut, G Phillips; Brauchman, G Humphries ; Secretary, F Muir. Mr Baillie undertook the office of Treasurer. Messrs H. Humphries and Webster acted as scrutineers. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Maguire, seconded by W Humphries, that Messrs H Humphries, Webster, Roydhouse and Quin be elected a committee to the Brigade, to meet monthly. Mr Bowers proposed that the practice night be altered from Thursday to Monday night, in consequence of the dance being held on Thursday evening. Seconded by H Humphries and carried. It decided to apply to the Council for the use of the room adjoining the engine shed. It is worthy of remark (says an exchange) that in spite of the continuous falls in wool generally, the very finest class of wool produced touched prices at the late sales that it has not touched for some years past. Some of Sir Samuel Wilson’s wool »«W u Ugh •• 5s per lb. High class merino wool comes within the range of American competition in spite of the tariff and American competition being exceptionally active this year. The Town Clerk of Mastertcn. Mr R. Brown, has divested himself of s»me of his numerous offices, as the increase of municipal work needs all his attention. The Daily pays Mr Brown a high compliment for (he way in which he has managed the busimss of the Masterton Permanent I . vestment md Building Society for the last five years, the business of which has increased tenfold.
