The, Lyttelton Times looks upon the .readjustment of representation as the question of next session. It says :—“ The whole body politic is covered with local bloodsuckers. Each county is clamorous for spoil. If Parliament was formerly divided into nine provinces, it is now cut up into sixty counties. If we had Provincialism, we now have the worst kind of Yeatryism, And it is difficult to estimate' the gravity, under such circumstances, of the task of making Parliament the true mirror, and not the distorted reflection of the people. At every turn which we take we shall be met by the morbid desire of representing in 'Parliament parish politics, and of using it as an instrument of local expenditure. It may be said that the representation of the people depends more on the franchise than on the distributinn of seats. JBat that Is a mistake. The widest electoral franchise can be frustrated by the malapportionment of representation. The greatest army can be rendered powerless on the battlefield by erroneous disposition. In that way divisions can be given up to slaughter, and regiments be made more destructive to their friends than their foes. Three questions will have to be considered by Parliament in this essential branch of Parliemantary reform. The first is the number of

members to constitute the House of Eepresentatives ; the second is the division of the colony into suitable electoral districts; the third is the allotment of members to each electoral district. We pass by at the present the question of Maori representation. That will be a matter for independent and special consideration. The battle will be fought on the two questions—the definition of districts and the distribution of seats.”

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —More precious than Gold.—Diarrhoea, Dysentry, and Cholera are, through the summer’s heat, carrying off the young as the winter’s cold destroyed the aged. In the most acute cases, where internal medicines cannot be retained, the greatest relief will

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 publicnotice, B. A. ADAMS, Cardigatr House, 'is gratified that the dispositioa of a great many of bis 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 hje 1 is content with moderate profits in' the.place of the 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 E. A. Adams, in order that all his customers may realise the substantial • advantages of being well-dressed; *md 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 varying’ 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.—R. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle.—ADVT.
