The funeral of the late Mr F. Dud son was largely attended yesterday, and shows the esteem in which the deceased was held. The Rev. Father De Lach conducted the service at the graveside. The Queen of the South steamed down to the heads last night and anchored there till this morning, when she commenced loading the timber which' comprised the cargo ot the illfated scow Surprise. The timber will be conveyed to Wanganui. We draw attention to the change advertisement of Mr G. H. Stiles’.

He was a tough subject:—A man, whose body was the subject of an inquest at the London Hospital recently, had suffered from paralysis, laryngitis, chronic nephritis, rheumatic fever (six timas), yellow fever (in China), malaria (twice), enteric (twice), and double pneumonia. After all this he died under an operation at the hospital.

■ The Wellington correspondent of the H.B. Herald says Sir Joseph Ward is considering the question of making re ductions in the rates for season tickets on the railways.

Here is a Woo Sung milk “ad ” from The Shanghai Times ;—“ We open at Wee Sung in the south of the telegraph company for sale the foreign milk, the taste are sweet, the milk are pure and the price are just.

One of the most remarkable Bills circulated this session (says the_ Post) is Mr Field’s Marriage Restrictions Removal Bill, which caused a mild sensation. The Bill is one of the shortest on record, and yet contains more bigamy to the square inch than any other Bill ever invented. In plain uncompromising language it proposes that “a man may marry his mother’s brother’s wife, and a woman may marry her mother’s sister's husband."

A hotel owner in North Melbourne, in giving'evidence in support of his claim for compensation consequent ori the place having to be closed, mentioned that a hotel near by was sold in the boom time for i'Bsoo, and that he bad refused v for ? his own pro perty, wanting the higher figure.

Comparatively few women’know..the art of walking, ami many therefore fail to obtain its, fullest benefits (says the “ Delineator,”) ,Observe the gait of the average woman in the street. How does she walk 1 Possibly with a slouch, or at an awkward, inelegant angle, or a stiff, unpliant motion. An other ploughs along as if walking were a laborious necessity instead of a pleasure, the most natural in the world. What is the consequence? Muscles are brought into undue action, ultimately resulting in angular, distorted development. On the recent voyage of the Monowai from Sydney, a steerage passenger (says the Post) developed signs of insanity, and had to be placed under restraint. -When the vessel arrived in port on Thursday a watch was placed over him, but notwithstanding this he climbed through a skylight and escaped into the city. Constable Cahill saw a man pick up a stone and shatter one of the police station fanlights with it. The constable took him into custody. and soon after the prisoner was identified as the escapee from the Monowai. Until then the police had no information concerning the man’s escape from the vessel. On the voyage across he had in his possession a fully loaded six-chambered revolver. Arrangements are being made for returning the man to Sydney.

The British Captain received an old mere of great historic value, in fact, it instated that it was so priced by the original owners that they had several times refused to part with It to guests of honor. Di I'ltCllelli in UiC August number Cf “ Life,’’ dealing with the falling Cabinets in the Commonwealth, pays the following tribute to New Zealand : '* In New Zealand politics have some decent measure of stability. Parliaments, like the men in Tetlriysdn’s ballad, may coirle and fiiay go, but Mr Seddoli goes on forever. He is a permanent feature of the landscape. Nature, in the shape of broken health, may remove him, but not the Opposition. With its stable Government and its 1 prosperity budgets,’ New Zealand is the envy of Australia.’’

Referring to a recent social “send, off” at Kaitangata,’the .Gltitha Free Press says “The speeches suffered greatly through’ the interruptions .of the rowdy element. Towards ten o’clock things became very noisy indeed, and never before perhaps in Kaitangata at a similar function was heard such yelling and singing as then took place. Plates and bottles were freely thrown about, drunken men struggled here and there, whilst fighting was in full swing on the Stage, and altogether the scene was one of the most disgraceful ever enacted.in Kaitangata. Things could hardly be otherwise when it is known that the committee had provided twenty six gallons of beer and four dozen bottles of whisky, and this was freely tested by numbers who had set out with the intention of having a real drunken spree."

SANDER and SONS EUCALPSTt 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 fam? of Sanders and Sons preparation we pub’ish 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 (0 obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed differ-nt other preparations; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects weresimilar to the oil oampfura, the objectionable action of which is we 1 known." Dr H.B. Drake, Porllanl, 0 egon, says—" Since I became acquaint 1 with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I u-e no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by tar the best.” Dr L. P. Pre-dot's Lynchburg, Va., writes—“ I never used any preparation other than Sander aud Son’*, as I found the others to be almost useless.” Dr J. T. Cormell, Kansas City, Kins.-, says —“Care has to be exercised no*, to be supplied with spurious preparation:, as done by my supply druggist.” . Dr H. H. Hart, New York, says—“lt goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.—“ So wide is with me the range of of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract th it I carry it with me wherever I go. I fin 1 it most useful in diarrhoea, all throat troubhs bronchitis, etc."

Neglect Always Danoebous. —To the average man its seems childish doctor a co|d, and unless it becomes particularly annoying to him, little' or no attention is given to it. Often a cold contracted in the winter is allowed,to run until the.- opening of spring. This is a grave mistake, as even though the warm weather may bring relief, the system is thereby weakened and rendered susceptible to disease. •- A cold should never be neglected, whether it be a child or an adult who is afflicted, as health and often life is risked. A bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, costing but a sma'l amount will bring speedy relief and by its use , all dangerous consequences will be avoided. For sale by ail dealers.
