All the Difference.— “Sleepin’, TonaW?” said a Highlander to a drowsy acquaintance, who was ruminating on the grass in a horizontal position. “No,” Tuncan," was the ready answer. “Then, Tonald, would you no lend me ten shilling ?” was the next question. “ Ough, ough !’’ was the response, with a heavy snore, “ I'm sleepin’ noo, Tuncan, my lad.” strangers paying a visit to Wellington, and country settlers arriving in town, are very often at a loss to know which is the best house or cheapest general drapery establishment to visit for buying drapery and 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 assorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct from 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.—Abvt.
