Db. Schliemam's Explorations.—The Athenseum published the following extract from a letter of Dr. Schlieman, dated Athens, 11th of April, 1884, which forms a fitting supplement to Mr Mahaffey's letter in the Athenaeum of the 16th inst:—" Three cheers to Pallas Athens. In fict I hare succeeded here in a wonderful way, having brought to light an immence palace, with innumerable colmuns, of which the floor and all the halls are well preserved.l|Of permanent interest are the wall paintings, which my architect and eollaborateur, Dr. Dorpfeldt, is now copying with the same colours. Of the Tery highest interest, are also Tast paintings with most primitive representations of men and animals. Plans of this wouder" ful pre-historic palace can be made with great accuracy, and it will excite universal emazement, for nothing like this has ever turned up. The palace found is one of the most ancient Doric order ever discovered." A Stbambr on Fire.—The steamer Hannah Mokau, which arrived at Waitara on Sunday morning, had a narrow escape from being burnt at sea. Captain Dale reports that he took in a cargo of timber at Kaipara and left there on Friday, and at V a.m. on Sunday morning when off the White Cliffs, he found the vessel on fire in the after part of the hold close to the bunkers. He closed all the openings and stood in for land. At 11 o'clock found the fire was gaining fast and compelling all hands to leave the eugine room, the engineer reporting that it was impossible to stay below. The captain then gave orders to clear away the deck cargo and cut holes in the hatchway and afterpart of the deck, and deluge the ship with water. Finding the fire still gaining rapidly, he gave orders to have a boat ready to be lowered. At this time the whole of the bulk heads and part of the deck and cargo was on fire. All hands set to work to pour water into the hold, and finding the fire was being gained on, Captain Dale kept on his way to Waitara arriving there about 1.20 p.m. After continued exertions the fire was ot length extinguished.

Enjot Life.—What a truly bonutiful world we live in ! We can desire no better when in good health ; but hon often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discounted and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling. Green's August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent, of such msdadies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distressing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect. Sold by all Druggists at 3s 6d per bottle. Sample bottles, 6d. Try it. 4

Hoiloway's Ointment and Pills.— Counsel for the delicate.—Those to whom the changeable temperature is a protracted period of trial should seek the earliest opportunity of removing all obstacles to good health. This cooliDg Ointment, perseveringly rubbed upon the skin, is the most reliable remedy for overcoming all diseases of the throat and chest. Quinsey, relaxed tonsile, sore throat, swollen glands, ordinary catarrh, and bronchitis, usually prevailing at this season, may be arrested as soon as discovered, and every symptom banished by Hollmvay's simple and effective treatment. This Ointment and Pills are highly commended for the facility with which tb*y successfully contend with influenza ; they allay in an incredibly short lime the distressing fever and teasing cough.
