Messrs. Robin and Co., coach-builders, Dunedin, have continually on hand a large and superior stock of vehicles for selection. Country orders receive all attention. Mr. J. Sciver, of Great King street, Dunedin, is prepared to supply all orders in bedding and. cushions of various kinds. The work turned out by Mr. Seiver is of the best possible quality. The Caledonian Hotel, Dunedin, conducted by Mr. G. Pishenden, is a new and handsomely finished building, occupying a fine situation at the corner of Hope and Walker streets, and offering to the public superior accommodation of every description. Mr. J. Corrigan has opened a wood and coal yard at the corner of Stuart street and Moray Place, Dunedin. Mr. Corrigan's experience in the trade and known integrity are a sufficient guarantee that his business will be conducted in a way most satisfactory to his customers. Messrs. Begg and Co., Princes street, Dunedin, have on hand a magnificent stock of pianos, from which selection may be made, and which will be disposed of at moderate prices, and on remarkably easy terms. They are constantly supplied vrith all the music lately published, and have also an unrivalled collection of brass and wind instruments of every kind. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, who caused a stir by his article in the Worth American Review on insincerity in the pulpit says, in the Independent : " 1 cannot but observe, and with a great deal of regret, that every so-called reply waives the real point. The question is not : Does this clergyman say all he knows in the pulpit, or does tbaj one ? The question, as stated in the article, is : 'Do the American people, as a whole, believe that the preachers say all they know ? Thus far this question has been avoided in those comments of the religious press which I have seen." It has, unfortunately for these clergymen, come to be believed by the American people that they do say all they itnow ; and that, as by the mouth the heart speaketh, they know very little. If they knew enough to know their own ignorance, they would hardly persist in holding up their remnants of religions as objects for ridicule. Ingersoll's darts hit Protestantism •very sharply. He knows its weak points, and he hits them with precision, but he knows nothing about the Catholic Church, and if Christianity had not worse enemies than Ingersoll within its folds — for even Mr. Beecher claims to be a Christian — it peed not fear bis attacks. — Catholic Review,
