— ... - . _ . — . Mr "Archie" Osborne notifies (hat he has taken over the tailoring business carried on by his brother,' Edmund Osborne. ! For a fjoo'l many years has Mr Archie Osborne been in the trade, and very wisely spent the last two or throe yoar-i in one of the largest houphs iv Christehiirch. He hfi.3 been at work quietly in this town for the past few months, and finding his work has given every satisfaction to even thus most fastidious of customers, he feels now that he can easily guarantee satisfaction to whoever may favour him with an order. We have seen =ome of his work and it speaks for itself, both in H!yle and finish, as the work of a thorough tradesman. Messrs Thos. Westwood A Co. announce a display in their windows to-night of Christmas and New Year's cards at all prices. No doubt many will be there to see. We are glad to report that the lime-light exhibition in the Salvation Army Barracks proved a great success both last night and on Thursday night, the hall being crowded on both occasions. Staff-Captain Edwards described the views, and Captain Fleming attended to the lantern. The next plac? will be Feilding, where the views will be exhibited, and we can recommend our friends there to go and see them, We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a bound volume of the Statutes passed last session, from the Government Printer. The enquiry into the wreck of the Wairarapa has been adjourned to next Friday. The Hon. Mr Reeves is to visit the Australian colonies at the request of his colleagues. Being the author of the Undesirable Emmigrants Bill he will probably be received with all due honour. Woman, sweet woman is obtruding herself even iv co-operative works if the following paragraph in the Manawalu Time* is correct ? The italics are ours. "Yesterday, at Itutherfurd's office, the following were selected for bricklaying required at the new Courthouse building: — J/Vx.svx ) Mouldy. Check and Wilfon." The first attempt to blow up the Wairarapa with dyuamite has been a failure. The police report that 81 bodies have been recoven d from the wreck of the Wairarapa. We had a little account of the love of the Koreans for physic but we find it has been ORlin.atecl from the slamp duties paid by patent medicine makers that four millions of pills are taken by tho inhabitants of the United Kingdom every week, which we should think would put our yellow friends quite in the shade. The Anglican Synod in Dunedin are much to bj commended on their rc-cngni-tion of the churches b?st supporters. Thi-y carried a resolution praying Ihe General Synod to amend the canon in such manner that women as well as men shall be ptrmiltrd lo vot-3 at pp.ri.sh meetings, and to vote for the election of synodsmen. Last Wednesday was the first anniversary of the opming of the Palmerston North Hospital. D -.ring the twelve months 188 patients have been admitted into the institution, and the visitors have numbered 3247. There is much criticism in London in financial circles at the enormous amount of promoters' profits demand d for the Londoiideray mine at Coolgardie. The sum is £340,000. The Thn<--« warns the public that the mine ought to bj fully tested before large investments are made, and con.-idcrs the vendor.-? me asking too much. Anton Ilubinstein, the celebrated pianist and composer, has just died at St. Petersburg, at the age of C 4. The New South Wales Government has received nows of a rich find of gold at Har graves, the Mudgee District, 1 90 mihs nor'.h west of Sydney. Thirty eight pounds weight of specimens yielded about 200oz. A rich vein of quartz has been struck at a depth of 49 feet. The Mayor of Palmerston told a public meeting on Wednesday that the institution of l.gal proceedings for the recovery of rates during th<? year had bsen necessitated owing to the fact that unless money was obtained the Council would have been posted as defaulters in London, for there was no money lo the Council's credit to meet this ever recurring payment for interest. The Aus'.rnlians fire the biggest pilltakers iv the world, A genileman who has just returned after six months' residence at Coolgardio to Melbourne gives a not too glowing account of the fi-'ld. He is a thoroughly practical man, and says very few claims are obtaining really good returns, aud the specimens about which so much fuss has been made are not equal to some obtained on the Victorian goldfields. He alleges that the accounts published are most extravagant and misleading, and states that a certain well-known company at Coolgardie is said to be purchasing gold from other companies at an advance of 2s Gd on the bank rates. The field is most unhealthy. Mr H. F. Eagar, the secretary of the Otaki Maori Eaoing Club, notifies that nominations for the llack race meeting olose on Monday, the 3rd Deoembor, at 9 o'clock p.m. It is with deep regret, Bays the Advocate, that we record the death, under painful circumstances of Mrs J. B. Ealsion of Hokianga, Carnarvon. The deceased lady who was on a visit to her sister-in-law, Mrs Allan Cameron of Marangi, Wanganui, at the time of the sad event which took place on Tuesday, has resided at Carnarvon several years, and was much esteemed and respected throughout the district. Deep sympathy will be felt for Mr Balston and the family in their sad and unexpected bereavement. English newspapers announce that the work projected by Miss Kate Marsden on behalf of Siberian lepers is definitely terminated, her committee having disbanded. There were 46,000 fewer opium cultivators in India in the year 1892-3. This year 42,300 chests of opium will be placed for sale at Calcutta instead of the normal 54,000 chests. The usual reserve stock in the Government factories is 30,000. It is likely not a single chest will be in reserve at the close of the year. The fleurs-de-lis, arms of the Royal House of France, were imported into France at the time of the Crusades, and were in ancient times the emblem of royalty in Assyria. Though called fleur-de-iis, the design is not meant to represent the lily. The three points joined by the horizontal bar indicate ths idea of the Trinity, an idea whose origin is lost in the dim mists of antiquity. M. Demeny, the well-known scientist, has just perfected a simple apparatus by which twenty-five successive photographs of the same subject can be taken in quick succession one after another, and before he knows the eye of the camera is upon him. By placing these pictures in a revolving wheel, a portrait of the man as he really moves is obtained, instead of that of a being with a hideously melancholy grin. Mr Edison promised to have an invention of this kind ready for the Chicago Exhibition.

The Mayor requests all lists sent out for Iho Wairarapa relief fund to be returned to him by Mo ml ay. .In Wellington a mail named Charles Jlowell was sentenced to six months imprison merit with havrt labour for neglecting to provide for his wife and five children.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others. — \_.\DVT.] With all these advantages in purchasing, it would be strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered. Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the cheap lines now at the disposal of customers, would be worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapel'y Warehouse, Te Al'O House, Wellington. Messrs Ross and Sandford, of the Bon Maeche, Palmerston, are now showing their new spring and summer goods in all departments, ex s.s. Aorangi <md lonic. The selection to choose from is without doubt one of the finest on this coast, while the values are superior to most houses, and equal to the very best obtainable in the colony. They invite inspection' of their present season's show of general drapery, dress goods, mantles, blouses and millinery, &c, <tc. Ross and Samlford — Advt. With a view of making this sale the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Co' 3. wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the well known Kaiapoi Woollen Co. Bolh these gentlemen have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their rliorts is to be seeu in the astonishing bargains now being Fold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. " It's an ill wind that blows nobody good !; is a very old saying but none the less true. Whilst the great depression existing at Sydny at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people cf Wellington and the sur rounding districts will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low piioe3 a large stock which is now being 3old at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.
