A large number of seamen ut .Auckland are on strike. The Federated Steamers’ Union will charier steamers and run them in opposition to the Northern Steamship Company’s line.

Holloway's ointment and Fills,— Those who have given these remedies a fair trial freely admit that they inherently possess every property suitable for healing and removing eruptions, ulcerations, piles, abscesies, eores, bad lege, gathered breast*, and all disorders of the glandular system, When carefully rubbed iu the Ointment relaxes the swollen muscles, diminishes inflammation, assuages pain, and even alleviates dangerous maladies which may have lasted for months, or even years. Holloway’s ex cellcnt preparations are effective singly,, resistless in combination, and have been recommended by grateful patients to b» resorted to as alteratives when all other means, of regaining health have failed. Their action is temperate, not violent osr reducing.

THE MAGDALEN ASYLUM.

A TOIOB FBOM MOUNT MAGDALA

AN APPEAL. IN appealing for subscriptiona for the FIRST MAGDALEN ASYLUM ( in New Zealand, the Sisters of the "Good Shepherd ” desire to express, through me, their sincere gratitude to the inhabitants of this City and the Colony generally for the kind co-operation afforded them since they commenced the great work to which their lives are devoted in their temporary residence, Manchester Street North, ' Hourly we meet with a poor Magdalen, tired of a misspent life, seeking a shelter, and finding no security against the biting tblasts of renewed temptation, turns away with the weight of the world’s accusation, i with the world’s condemnation, and becomes the victim of an unholy impulse, which cannot be recalled without a sigh nay, without a tear, Kindly, therefore, bear in mind—1. A most desirable site has been acquired for the Magdalen near Christchurch. 2, His Eminence Cardinal Moran laid the foundation-stone at "Mount Magdala” on the 18th February of last year, in the presence of 5000 people, and the first portion of the Asylum is nearly com- I pleted. 3, The advantages of the Magdalen will be extended to all New Zealand and else- . where. 4. The waifs and the wanderers who are rescued from the paths of misery and sin are not asked to what creed they belong. It is sufficient that they need succour. 5, The inmates of " Mount Magdala”and I the Good Shepherd Nuns placed oyer them will remember always, with lively gratitude, the benefactors of the institution. 6. Subscriptions may be paid either in part or in full, according to the convenience of subscribers. 7. If, therefore, it were ever true to say “that he gives twice who gives quickly,” it is particularly so on the present occasion, in order that soon we may see another House of the Good Shepherd added to the 150 Homes scattered oyer the globe in whioh more than 4000 Rbmghbusbs bestow their devoted care on 20,000 Chil/DRBN aha young girls, while a judicious channel will be opened for the outlay of the Frans entrusted to the Institution. 8. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd will be grateful to all those who encourage their friends to subscribe to the funds of the Magdalen Asylum. The favor of an early response will enable me to bring to a speedy conclusion an institution from which circles of good must emanate to exercise a salntory influence on the future of the Colony. SUBSOBIHTIONB will also bo nooived by Mebsus A, J. WHITE and H. H. LOUGH.NAN ; and the Rev. Mather Prioress Convent of the Good Shepherd, Manchester street North, Cheques and F.O. Orders to be made payable to me, L. M, GIN ATX, S.M., Mis, Beet., | Managing Trustee. Ohrlstohuroh, May, 1887.
