According to the Angora corressondent of tlie Times, the cultivators of the soil in Turkey have a hard time of it. The taxes which they are made to pa}', not those that aie legally due, are their grievance, and prevent them from e\er being able to gain more than a mere living. Instead of a tenth of their produce, an eighth or seventh is taken. If they have 1000 sheep and goats, they are accused of hiding some, and are charged for 1500. Land .vortb £SOO is valued at £ISOO, and so on. Either these excessive valuations have to be paid upon or the officers of the Government have to be “ squared,” and this being the cheaper plan to the payer and the most pleasant to the receiver, is the one that recommends itself to all parties. The official who receives the “ consideration”. has to “ square” his superior, and so the piastres of the poor peasant ultimate!}’ find their way to very high places. Well-dressed Men— Among those habitual errors of conduct which are common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinctively judge from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal disposition cannot safely be offended. To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, though unconsciously, offend numerous persons, among whom the favour of some may be valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not content to make himself neat now and then, but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor. In bringing this maxim before public notice, E. A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed has been met by the combination in his goods of selection, material, good fit, and low price. He obtains his cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs first-class cutters and workmen; he avoids obsolete fashions; and he is content with moderate profits in the place of t ne exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience, capital, care, and good taste can effect on the tradesman’s side, is done by 11. A. Adams, in order that all his customers may realise the substantial advantages of being well-dressed; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number of those who deal with him. Attentive to the changes of costume necessitated by varving seasons, and of style by the dictatee of fashion, R. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—E. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle.— advt. Hollmcay's Fills. —The Body’s Bulwark. —Nine-tenths of the maladies affecting adults depend upon a disordered state of the stomach. Holloway’s Pills correct the first symptoms of indigestion by acting healthily on the gastric juice, and wholesomely exciting the liver. They dispel flatulency in incipient indigestion, and overcome heat, distention, and pain attending more advanced or neglected cases. These Pills invigorate, and soon restore the dyspeptic from the great and sudden depression of strength always accompanying stomachic disorders or biliary derangement. They beget cheerfulness, vigour, and happiness. In rectifying disorders of the digestive apparatus these Pills prove themselves the promptest preventives of disease. They raise a bulwark against all approaching maladies, and preserve freshness, health, and life.
