The Venerable Archdeacon Walsh arrived in New Plymouth yesterday, his visit being in connection with the unveiling of the hatchments at St. Mary's. The sand pump is not giving unqualified satisfaction and is working in a very fitful manner. It can only work a few hours each day and strong suspicions are expressed that I the sand being pumped in is drifting along the inside of the breakwater and settling; round the piles of the wharf instead of op' the beach. If the latter is the case the ratepayers will have the pleasure of paying for pumping it into the harbour with the sand pump and paying for pumping it out again with the dredge. We are informed that the engineer in charge ctmplains that the driving power is insufficient. The trial of the Frenchman, Fangeron, for causing the death of Jung, a Swiss jeweller, in London last month has ended in sentence of death. The evidence showed that ifangeron is an ex-convict and deserter from the army. His story with reference to the plot to kill Mr. Chamberlain was not believed.

Judging by his remarks on Saturday afternoon last when be addressed the forces after the parade on the Outer Domain, LieutenantOolonel Davles is going to leave no stone unturned to make Auckland the leading volunteer district in the colony.

A reminder is given that the new railway time-table comes into operation to-day. The alterations have already been published.

AFTER THE ROYAL VISIT. Aftbr exciting times tbe health of children requires very spesial looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well a 9 mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to see that her child has tbe proper nourishment to establish its constitution, A good constituiion is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nhaves Food fob Infants and Invalids. Vccording to tbe best medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also bB used by persons of all ages with decided benefit. It is a bone-building, heatth-sus taining product that cannot be t"0 warmly recommended, and we gladly add oar words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it, Nbavb's Food should have a prominent place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
