The watchmakers of Besancon have been making Madame MacMahon a nice little present—a watch so small that the time cannot be read off it without a glass of high magnifying power. The Duke d'Aumale, who was present at the ceremony, remarked that an ancestor of his, the Due de Penthievre, wore watches in his waistcoat buttons, and to show that the family taste in that way was not extinct, ordered on the spot some fairy chronometers for his shirt and \vrist studs. A contemporary can fancy few things more alarming than to hear one's neighbor at a dinner party striking at intervals from all his studs. Strangers paying a visit to Wellington, and country settlers arriving in town, are very often at a loss to clothing. J. McDowell and Co. offer special advantages that can be met with nowhere else in the city. They keep at all times the largest and best asorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct fro the leading manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland, which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, enables them to offer goods of sterling qualities at prices that cannot be improved on by any house in the trade. Every article is marked at a fixed price that cannot be deviated from, for ready money, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people are as well served as the best judges; the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. A full description of stock can be obtained from our catalogues and advertisement. Note the address—Opposite the Bank of New Zealand, corner of Lambton-quay and Willis-street, Wellington.—Ad vt.
