Yesterday Patrick Carroll was sentenced by Mr A. Fraser, J.P., to one month’s hard labour for habitual drunkenness.

Mr Cecil Rhodes’s heart is daily growing perceptibly weaker. He has had a severe heart attack again, and shows difficulty in rallying. The Federal Attorney ■ General (Hon, A, Daakin) has furnished an opinion on Tattersall’s plan to evade the Postal Act. He thinks the measure still capable of coping with the move.

One of yesterday’s excursionists informs us that his party caught 280 fish, amongst the number being 15 lawyer fish, whatever they may be; but to these latter fish there hangs a double tale, which may become better known by and bye.

Parishioners, of All Saints’ Church are reminded by the Churchwardens that the offertories to-tnorrow are given to the Vicar.

A valuable opinion ! Messrs Hogg and Young members of an Education Board have expressed the opinion that the educated classes at Home of malice aforethought manipulated the education funds in such a way as to prevent the mass of people from getting the best use of the money, and so kept them in ignorance of their own ends. On the motion of Mr Wyndham, the Government Irish Land Bill Was read a first time in the House of Commons. The measure created a favourable impression. It provides for setting aside three millions for the noncompulsory purchase of estates. Payment is to be made in gold, the Government reselling the land to tenants if three-fifths are willing to buy. In the Hurdle Race at the Napier Park meeting ou Tuesday, Fairbrother rider of Kodara, punished that gelding very severely when he had no possible chance of winning.

It is stated that the Rev. L. M. Isitt has accepted an engagement with the United Kingdom Alliance for four years’ prohibition work in Great Britain. Mrs Isitt proceeds to England to join him immediately. The salary attaching to the position is stated (according to the Christchurch Press) to be very large. The troopship Devon, which arrived at Sydney on March 26, had an extremely rough time in the Tasman Sea. A day out from Auckland she ran into a fierce cyclonic disturbance. For two days she was knocked about in mountainous seas, and made only 155 miles. The whole of the contingent, except about sixty men, were down with sea-sickness. The horses were terribly knocked about. Tsventy three were outright, or so badly injured that they had to he destroyed. About thirty others were mained, and some may have to be destroyed. To the ingenuity of the shop-lifter there is no end. In England (says Lloyd's) we have trad the lady with the double skirt, the sack pocket in the pettioat, and the spring muff used for stowing away the articles feloniously acquired during strolls through various emporiums. But the female picker-up of light goods in France has gone one better than her English sister, and invented a pilfering method that, but for carelessness born of confidence on her part, might never have been detected. The woman in question, according to information from Paris, was notices by some ladies shopping in one of the big drapery establishments of the French capital. They saw her pass, rather poorly clad, and bearing a young baby, from one department to another, and observed that she made no purchases. At length they called the attention of one of the departmental managers to the woman’s strange behaviour, and close, watch was kept. Presently she raised the baby's veil, and kissed the-little one affectionately. Then a lady, womanlike, wished to see the baby, and also raised the veil, at once discovering the secret. The baby was nothing but a big cardboard doll, so contrived that small articles could be. conveyed unseen to its inside. Baby’s stomach was already nearly tull of jewellery, scent bottles, handkerchiefs, and such like things, and when taxed with stealing them the w unan declared that she was only collecting Christmas boxes. At her place of abode, a disused barn, the police found a large number of articles similarly collected from other stores in Paris.

SANDER and SONS EUOALPYTf EX TRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Eucalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities.. In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products:—Dr. W. B. Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphora. the objectionable action of which is well known.” Dr H.B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, sa yg_i* Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as i think it is by far the best.” Dr L. P. Preston’s Lynchburg, Ya., writes—" I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’s, as I found the others to be almost useless.” Dr J. T. Oormell, Kansas City, Kans;, says —“Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, ai done by my supply druggist.” Dr H. H. Hart, New York, says—“ It goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.—“ So wide ds with me the range of "applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever I go. I find it most useful in diarrheas. all threat troubled broaohitis, «to»”
