The following anecdote is told of Leo XIII. when he was Bishop of Perugia. He was informed that one of the cures iu his diocese was so enthusiastic a sportsman as to neglect his parochial duties for the sake of shooting. TJnwilling to believe so grave a charge 'on mere hearsay, the bishop ordered his carriage, very early one Sunday morning, and drove into the village where the alleged Nimrod had the cure of souls. He found the villagers all assembled before the ehtfrch, and when, he inquired why they did not enter,; he was told that they were 1 waiting for the

cur ato, who had gone oufc shooting. The bishop immediately attired himself in his robes and celebrated mass, and, as the cur ato had not returned, Pecci left his card at his house and drove off. Of course, the next morning the poor man appeared at Perugia, clothed in sackcloth and ashes. The bishop said, " I ought to reprove you severely, and possibly suspend you altogether ; but I will be satisfied if you will take a solemn oath to do what I ask." Of course, the terrified curato said he was ready to swear anything. " Very well," said the Bishop; "then give your sacred promise that next time you want to go out shooting on a Sunday or holiday, you will let me know the day before, so that I may take your place in church, and that your parishioners may not be deprived of their Sunday service." The method of making money is ascertained to he on mathematical principles. The moneyed men of the present day have for the most part succeeded by producing really valuable articles, and adding to industry honesty. These principles hold good all over the world, and the success attending the introduction of those invaluable medicines, "Ghollah's Geeat Indian Cubes," into New Zealand is another instance of proof of the assertion. The public have recognised the worth of these Indian Medicines, and the curea effected by their use are extraordinary. Get testimonials and the medicines of the Chemists. Testimonial— Kew, Victoria, 26th Oct., 1871. Sir,— Having treated my own case of a very severe Rheumatic attack in my leg and ankle, I can testify to the efficacy of your Ghollah's Rheumatic Mixture. It required only one bottle and a-half to completely cure me. I found the cure most perfect and extraordinary, and have had no return of pain since taking taking your medicine. I have much pleasure in allowing you to use this testimonial as you think fit.— Your obedient servant, (Signed) J. P. Koehuck, Chemist.
