The Biter Bit. — Romien,, the French actor, was an incorrigible joker, but one day he was nearly taken in by a clockmaker in the Palais Royal. Enter Romien, preteuding to be a gentleman from the country, of a very simple type indeed: Romien, with strong provincial accent: " Pray, sir, can you tell me what are tho_e little round machinea. hung up in your shop window?" Clockmaker: "They are called watches, sir." Unhooks one and shows it. Romien: "Ah, watches ! Aud what are they for, please?" Clockmaker : "To indicate the time, sir." Romieu: "To indicate the time! And how, pray?" Clockmaker :"I will show you." Enters into brief but lucid explanation, then concluding : " You must wind up the watch every 24 hours." Romien: "Every 24 hours. Morning or evening?" Clockmaker "Morning." Romien: "Why morning?" Clockmaker, blandly: « Because; Monsieur Bomien, in the evening |you are generally tipsy!" Exit Romien. The Tablet, referring to the Dunediu City election, cays :— « Between Mr Reeves' and his opponent, Mr Oliver, there is no substantial difference. Politically, intellectually, and morally they are about equal, so that it is a matter of perfect indifference which is returned to Parliament. And to us Catholics they are both equally hostile, both are equally sdrocates of godless education, and both eqaally prepared to continue a system which wrongs, insults, and plunders us. To both therefore we are bound to be equally and determinedly opposed." "A friend in need is a friend indeed" Keep a bottle of Ghollah's Aperient Mixture in the house. You can never tell how soon or how suddenly you may be seized with sickness. A dose or two of this "safe and invaluable medicine would put right very quickly. Ask at the Chemists for Ghollah's Great Indian Cures"— Melbourne, 23rd August, 1870. Sir,— l have much pleasures in bearing testimony to the value of yoar Indian Aperient. I had beeu suffering for a considerable time from a very painful ulcer on my leg, and my general health was much deranged. From the favourable reports made to me of the efficiency nf Ghollah's Great Indian Cures, I was induced to try the Aperient Mixture, and 1 have no hesitation in stating that I found it to produce a most beneficial effect. I found my health and general system much improved; and I am happy to be able to add that the very severe ulcer from which I was suffering the most intense, agony, ia quite healed, (Signed) C. P.
