Spring and summer novelties are now on show at the establishment of Messrs A. and T. Inglis, Geoige street, Dunedin. Messrs Georgeeon and Co. have opened a saloon at 15 Rattray street, Dunedin, where oysters are supplied at a very moderate price. Mr Jolly's price-list will be found in another place. It may be consulted with advantage by all who have occasion for the services of the watchmaker and jeweller. Messrs Duthie Brothers, George street, Dunedin, are snpplied with an admirable stock of goods, suitable to the season. Their dress-making and tailoring departments are especially deserving of patronage. Patterns and pi ire lists may be had on application, and their customers and the public generally will find the firm prepared to execute all commissions entrusted to them ia the most satisfactory manner possible. In a letter dated June 18, from the M'Cormick Harvesting Machine Company to their New Zealand agents, Messrs Morrow, Bassett and Co., they mention the fact that the demand for their reapers and binders was so gr«?at this season that they had, through their inability to supply, lost the sale of between 2000 and 3000 harvesters and binders in the best cash-pay iDg districts of the United States. They also sta*e that they had already shipped out more machines than they bnilt last season, and were 500 carloads behind their order at the date of writing. They expect to complete and sell 37,500 harvesters and binders, 35,000 mowers, and 3000 reapers. Carlo Pellegrini, the celebrated caricaturist, says a writer in i Land and Water, was extremely anxious to take a sketch of The O'Gormon for Vanity Fair, and haunted the Lobby of Che House of Commons for several days in the hopes of accomplishing his purpose. Somehow or other The O'Gorman Mahon got wind at the attempt, and, Etriding up to Pellegrini, assured him that did any such caricature appear in the paper he would not loee an instant in seeking out the artist and thrashing him within an ace of his life. To this day no caricature of The O'Gorman has ever appeared in Vanity Fair. If you break the law once or twice to the annoyance of hundreds of people, you are a public nuisance and must be punished. But if yon break it habitually and annoy hundreds of thousands of people every week under pretence that you are contending for a principle, cr are doing something in the name of religion, then you are a hero and a prosecution makes you a martyr. The result of the prevalence of this kind of feeling is to be seen in the attitude taken up by " General " Booth about Salvation Army music and processions at Eastbourne. The local Act under which Eastbourne is governed prohibits processions of rampant B^othists in their pride of salvation ; but '• General " Bootn has written a letter to his followers there exhorting them to go on bieaking the law. He says, in efiest, "You have only to keep up th^ annoyance long enough and you will tire them out." It is highly probable that he is right ; but his letter is not the lees a cynical evownl of the methods of the Salvation Army. Sicken people of you. and at last they will be glad to give y»u a free xein." — St James 1 Gazette.
