A Brave Soldier.

Among a party of thirty returning Canadians from South Africa who visited Liverpool recently, and were entertained by the Mayor, was Private Molloy, who was shot through the temples and completely blinded at Bronkhurst Spruit. He made a speech in which he said that he had no regrets for the past, believing that a man having pursued the course he thought right had no business to have any regrets, whatever consequences ensued. It looked unfortunate to have all his hopes and aspirations cut down, but he would go bravely onward with a calm heart and a serene mind. He then called for three cheers for the Queen.

One of the farces the Government play (says a contemporary) to make the people think the Tutanekai is used for money saving purposes is to convoy coal from Westport to Wellington. She carries about 80 tons at a time, saving about £2O in freight, while her expenses to and from "Westport total something like £IOO. The poor-boxes in the Paris Exhibition were opened last month. They had been in the Exhibition since its inauguration, and it was anticipated a goodly sum would be collected through their agency for the Paris poor. They contained 58 francs 68 centimes, or a trifle under fifty shillings. The survey of the light line of railway from Stratford to Whangamomona is actively proceeding. The gauge will be 2ft, The Stratford paper rejoices to think that the line will checkmate Wanganui’s effort to divert, by means of water carriage, by way of a tributary of the Tangarakau, the trade of Stratford’s back country'.

SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTI E X TRACT- —Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, through the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Uni versities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, orming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pure YolatileEucalypti Extract, which is recognised by the Medical Division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state: — It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clines at Griefswaid, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authoriti js, among the turpentines, which are abandored long since as an internal medicament. TI ese crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible; -

1. By their deficiency in pungent oaor (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely througn ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced to specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety’s sake ask always or Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. —SANDER & SONS.
