A c.urious story is told about the Roseberry wedding. s They s^tbat^tithe:syna^)gues ; the dread. Anathema jmaranatlia&waß pronounced on Lady Roseuerryrfor'that"she, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, had wedded a Gentiie^ and.wnenthe malediction was uttered the congregation spat three timea on the floor. As the Whitehall says: Let us hope ! they had some sawdust handy. In a discussiou at the City Council (says a Chri3tchurcb. paper) it was incidentally mentioned that the City Corporation had been great gainers by liberally advertising. Several Councillors mentioned— and the remarks elicited not an expression of dissentthat since the Council had- taken^ to" advertisings fully they had received far- * more tenders, and that the Council, though: apparently a little more out of pocket, had really effected a great economy, This teati- i mouy of the city fathers should convince the, sceptic^ ; ' ';■ \ : ;. ij - : . :'' \ ■ /'. Many years ago a Methodist miuisterl found he had eighty dollars to spare after buying a horse and completing his outfit for h?s circuit. He deposited it in a savings bank, and though the story does not mention the name of the bank, we are sure it was one T'pf";ihe few vthat'ihad ' hone^tg efficient' managers, and tfiat Its \affiairßtwere\picoperly investigated, and its accounts balanced regularly. Ecom time to time the minister added small sums to his deposit, but did not ; call for a~penny until recently! "whan he drewout his accumulations. His deposits, with interest, bad swelled to the pretty little fortune of^ I3,ooodoiß.— Sar^w'a '^4'^ ; A Queensland paper writes:— "Means have recently been found for still increasing the usefulness of the Hon TV Elder's camels ,in Far iSorthern stations with^^ which he is connected, 'the experiment of using them for: draught purposes has been tried, and recently n two teams of six camels drew loads of tons each from Beltana to Port Augusta.; The plan adopted is to yoke the animals together something after the manner in which bullocks are coupled. It is intended shortly to despatch three other teams with one man only iv charge of each. It has been found that the camels thrive and breed well in the northern country: The number originally imported several years ago was about a hundred. The greater part of these died, the land by its comparative richness presenting too great a contrast to their native soil. There are, however, about 400 of their descendants, at Lake Hope, Umberaana, Beltana, and other stations in the Far North, and the race seems to be thoroughly acclimatised and quite free from liability to premature' death. Mr. Elder's representatives have recently lent several of the animals to squatters for expeditions to the country on the Western Australian border, the M'Donnell Ranges, in Central Australia, and elsewhere."

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Bilious affections, with all their concomitant annoyances induced by atmospheric changes,' or too liberal diet, should be checked at once, or serious consequences may ensue. When any one feels his ideas less clear than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and his head dizzy, accompanied by a reluctance for all exertion, physical or mental, ha may be quite sure that he is in immediate need of 3ome cooling and purifying medicine. Let him at once send for a box of Holloway'a Pills, which will free him from hia sufferings, and speedily renew hia usual healthful feeling. If the bowels be irritable, Holloway's Ointment should be diligently rubbed over the stomach and liver every night and morning.
