Mr, Joseph Sparrow, Lower Rattray street and King street. Dunedin, is prepared to supply Fermor Willaon'a new washing machines at greatly reduced rates.
Messrs. J. Tarn ieson and Co. have removed their tailoring and outfitting establishment to the Grand Hotel Buildings, Dunedin. There is apparently tbe nucleus of a fine Irish army in the existing regiments cf Kngland s soldiery. It is only a couple o f weeks ngo since a rppular military detnonstra'ion in favour of M Parnell took place in Galway. and something of a tinular charact r was witnessed on Tuesday when the troopship Crocodile was leaving Qneenstown for India. As the m'tnent of departure drew nigh the ■oldiers gathered on th^ d 'ck, and as tne vessel m >ved off from the quay loud ca'ls were raised f r " Th ep cheers I r Mr. Pirnell," and these calls were responded to in the hi ar i-at fashion. It would sem to be quite cle»r from this that admira ion and regard for the Li-h leader are not co-'fio'-d altogether to those who nre enroled as members in the organisation of the National League. England, however does no' apparently look with a kindly eye ou those wearers of her knapsack who entertain favourable opinions about the membr for Cork. Those opinions are in her mind vulgarly heterodox, and consequently those who bold them are shipped off to India — the idea being, we suppose, that the fierce heat of that Eastern climate, acting on the heated political views held by these soldiers, will have the same extinguishing effect as the fierce rays af the sun have on a parlour lire when they pour down upon it and put it out. — Nation, Septem\m2A.
