NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, CHRISTCHURCH.

(Advertisement.)

Those that wish t.i bo represented at the International Exhibition to he hold iu Christchurch in March next should inform us of their intentions. Wo have heon eonncctc 1 with all the International Exhihii tious hold in the CM-mics At the Into Adelaide Exhibition we represented sixty oxhibito s. for whom we secured 10 gold medals, -111 first and o e second awards, three of which were for New Z -ahum linns —I) Strang and J F. Martin. Invercargill ; and I'. Bevan, Wellington. Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix the exhibit in its space, attend to the j idging of e ■xhihics, and anything noees’ary while the exhibition remains open and at the close re-pack and semi their goods hack, orse'l them, or duplicate thereof, if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to attend the exhibition to fix I their exhibits, and causes them not only a great loss of tiiu" lint loss of money, which I they must necessarily expend on them j Then, again, the exhibitors have a benclit ; I th.-y have no trouble in getting space. 'I bey inform us how much is required, and we secure a for them, as wo have n large amount granted to ns, *ve lix the exhibits on a better space than if they applied themselves. Our terms arc moderate, Wcspc-i daily caution the public against giving | their exhibits to so called exhibition agents, who have been the n limbs of all the exhibitions, m l inn the exhibitors into debt, and other difficulties.- Ai.bkrt S.

A. (S A RFIELD : LATE I* IMO 01 DEN 1 OP THE U S., AMERICA.

This name, now honored as that of m other Ini min being, id destine I intake a psrmanmit place in the Tcrnnle of Fume, hot us see, t»m i, us a lesson for all classes, wherein «o isisood the greatness which all delight to honor. I.—(j trli.'ld was a dutiful son. lie was the youngest sou of a you ns; family left to the cure o f u little widowed mother amidst the privations of the life or u poor so*tier in lli-* then wilds of Ohio. That mother, besides the care of her family, had to work with her own hands in the fields to support, them, and her hoys, besides working hard on the lot, hud at times to hire out to obtain money to help her. She, how ever, always ♦mini time for reading four chapters of the Scripture daily, and the imdly train* ing of her children. To tin* mother (barfield was a most loving an I faithful son throughout the whom of his misy and eventful life. Even amidst the grand ceremonies of his inauguration lie look care that she should stand beside him, and to the amaz uiieiit of all the splendid foreign embassies ami nigh dignitaries of this land, the fir at thing he did after he became President of the United States was to kiss that little mother. If the promise of long life to him who honois father and mother has not been literally fulfilled in this case,it has b°en fulfilled in its spirit in the most ample manner—first, because Harliehi ready lived as much and did as much in fifty years as ordinary men could do in a hmined j and second because his nr-me and fame and the influence of his example will live throughout all ages.

11- Uarfield loved learning. He learned all he could whilst a hoy under his mother’s care, a id at a neighboring sell •<»! ; hut he longed and la >o:ed f »r the. liigh> sc educatiun the hind could give. Tins, by his own indomitable perseverance, labor an ! cemomy, and hy the willing sacrifices of his mother and brother, he obtained, and gra uualcl at Wiliia-ii’s Co doge, under the pro siocncy of the celebrated Mi k lJ*»pkms, with a very big It record. His greatest am-

I'iuoii, as a boy ami youth, was now attained, but has 1'; for the classics continned through life. One (J f the last Sines he ever wrote was a i.ariti quotation Nor md ids education cease with the schools He afterwards carefully studied law, and then to a certain extent military matters in his brilliant though brief career asas ddier, J n m ids st.u lies of statesmansbio, i mifical economy and finance led to the format! m of most correct views on tliese iiupoitant topics The backwoods tow-pat,h boy in all tliese respects was the unconscious rival of that greatest of English statesmen, Gladstone. Let such as aspire to lead in the aifdrs of this Republic imitate his painstaking, persevering, intelligent labors to acquire knowledge. 111 - -Garfield was a most faithful and loving husband and father. The family relation, which is the foundation of all society and government, was a very sacred .me in ids eyes. Home was the empire in which his soul delighted, and wife and children were the objects of his fondest love. His great cheerfulness, interesting conversation and complete unbending from the labors of his offices, w..n the warmest affection in return fro n every member of his family. let all husbands and fathers imitate him in these respects, and thus secure one place on earlh wherein they find peace, rest, comfort, and consolation in the midst of the turmoils of life. IV ill love of justice, compassion for the oppressed and goo d will to all, the late Erf-si lent was amo le man When asked how ho was such a general favorite at Washington, both among politicians and in society generally, he replied that he supposed it was because he couldn’t hate any body. Though entertaining strong convictions on important questions, and expressng them fearlessly, he ya oi I si m a | candid, conciliating Way, which rather | in ide frit-n Is than enemies of opponents. 1 The soldiers who had been under his com | maud almost id dizid him. His came was i ino sooner incidentally proposed for the j Presidency at the Chicago Convention than I conviction llished into almost every mind that he was the right man. Every man is i all the ti mo manufacturing public concernJ iug himself .as widely as he is known ; ami the result of that slow process hurst forth ! in Garfield's case in the sudden acceptance of his nomination, not only by the Convention. but by the whole Republican p irtv. V—Finally. James A. G.aiTiidd honored fh e Church of Gid by ea ly giving himself to it, and by continuing its faithful adherent to the end. The comparatively sma 1 an 1 by no means influential m fa-hinuable body of Christians with whom he was in fellowship had his faithful attendance and co-operation as a private member, ami occasionally in his early manhood as a preacher. When the Convention in Chicago adjourned over the Siboath, instead of joining cliques and caucuses on that day to decide upon work fo- the morrow, lie sought out the small Ohureli of the Disciples, and with i obeyed the Divine commandment to keen the Sabbath holy. How immeasurably doe-- such conduct as that place him above ihco-mm ui run of politicians! May his admirable consistency in this icspect be a model for ad rising men in future, and not only for polilieinns, but for all wh > imagine that the pressure of secular business upon them requires the invasion of the. Lord’s day. V e need not add that the very much needed example of >-tbbaih observance, set

by this gre >t man, should bo an rffeciu d lesson to the numcmns hen! of frivolous pleasure-seekers an,l to all who spin i Sunday in drinking, gambling or other criminal indulgences. But these excellent examnlas afforded by the life of our kite President, however prolonged they miuht have been, would not have had halt the effect upon the public mind that lias been given to them by Unitcau’s bullet. Tout traitorous and most infamous act liaa stereotyped the lessons of Garlield’s career and surrounde.d idiom with a halo they could not otlnn v, iso ini', eob aim: I. His was a snoliinO bio crowned by a martyrdom that has drawn forth che sympathy and affection cl the whole civilized world. No lucre man, since the beginning of time, has had so many sincere mourners. All parties North anti South, Republican, Democratic, mil else, unite in the most marked dom initiations of aff .donate respect—in winch all civiliz'd nations have joined—for President, fiarlield. lint what shall wo say of the pious and faithful school-teacher of Cleveland who united her life with that of .1 tines A. Cartbdd when In* was yet a poor young man ? .She is now the most honored and beloved lady of America Her sufferings through the last dreary I'd weeks have awakened the deepest sympathy has most richly endowed he with'the Nation’s love, of which the most substantial tokens have showered upon her and her ] children. —“ Now York Witness ”
