A few friends met the other night in a Newtown store to spend a jovial evening, but aB they were all teetotallers and none of them drank anything stronger than Clements Tonic, dmnkeness was out of the question. Mac proposed a game at euchre, and Jones said they had better play for something just to give the game an inteseat and make it lively, but times were hard, so they did not care to play for money. Smith, however, spied a box of Fletcher's bilious and liver pills, and proposed that each time a man was beaten he should take a pill, and this made the game lively, and the fun was fast and furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones got away with four and Smith and Hopkins two each, and Mac got off scot free. The game terminated by a general exodus at 3 a.m., fcrf D* Fletchers pills never labour in vain. They are the best and mildest pills made, and are Bold by all chemists and druggists everywhere; baiiJg a positive, safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headache, &c. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £SO (in seven prizes) at Xraas.

London, March 23. Owing to the Behring Sea difficulty the British squadron in the Pacific will shortly assemble at Esquimault, a seaport of British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. The Standard says that owing to Lord Salisbury's refusal to renew the modus vicendi, the United States authorities will seize all poachers in Behring Sea, believing that England will leave Canada to seek a legal remedy in the event of seizure of their vessels. Washington, March 24.

Lord Salisbury refuses to renew the modus vivendi, and makes proposals for the accommodation of the difficulty. The reading of this Note was received in the Senate' with marks of irritation. The President's rejoinder caused profound ■ensation. He insists on the unconditional renewal of the modtts vivendi, and asserts that he will exclude poachers from Behring Sea, even if the navy and a military force require to enforce it. Both Notes were referred to the Foreign Committee. The Senate is prepared to endorse the President's astion.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. MRS M L. MORGAN, CLIFTON, ARATAPU, AUCKLAND, N.Z., under date 23rd January, 1892, writes:-- _ Dear Sir,—Soma two years ago, having previously enjoyed veTY good health, 1 was taken seriously ill. and found it very difficult to get relief. At first I treated myself, thinking that I should goon be well again; but my illness grew upon .me and 1 was completely prostrated, and unable to do anything. I sought medical advice from our local doctor, and he prescribed for me. My ailment was described as black jaundice and gall-stones, and at times I suffered much pain. Our doctor's treatment did not do me much good, as the attacks were frequent and very severe. Some months passed, and I felt that I was becoming hopelessly ill. My friends were shocked at my salloAv and changed appearance, and more than one has told me since that they never expected to see me well again. I went to Auckland for change of air and scene, and to seek further medical advice. I got it, and for a time seemed to improve, the change evidently doing me good; but it was not tonic enough, for after a week or bo I was again laid up. All the medical advice I got in Auckland seemed unavailing, and I returned home with very little to hope for. Here I suffered several attack?, and had to lay up repeatedly. My husband had a very poor opinion of patent medicines, but Heeing Clements Tonic advertised as of aich wonderful effect in serious cases, and being quite at a loss to suggest any other Biitried he brought me home a bottle, and we determined to try it. At the same time we resolved to eay nothing of the medicine we were using until fully satisfied of its effects. The first dose did me good and I improved rapidly. Friends who would not have been surprised to hear of my death were really at my rapid reeoyery. I was aOv>n satisfied as to the value of Clements Tonic, and gladly recommended it to others', and so did my husband. The storekeeper spoke to him one day, and asked hint if be had been recommending Clements Tonio for he was almost sold out, and had only oZ><> bottle left. "Give it to me," said my husband 5 " I wouldn t be without it for anything." By the * im e I had taken one bottle I w(W to get about my work again. Frientw thought the improvement only temporary, ,and expected to see me prostrated again, but I am thankful to say that such has not been the case. Every dose did it.: work, and after a fortnight I only took on* 'ose a day, in the early morning. I have used only three bottles 3 and have the fourth in

the house.] |I do regularly, but fly to it on the least symptom of anything being wrong, and I have many times proved it to be a good preventive of returning sickness. It is now eight or nine months since I recovered, and Clements Tonic has kept me in good health all through. I can again get on with my house and dairy work with comfort and pleasure. lam pleased to be able to recommend Clements Tonic, for I have found it a true friend, and am convinced that it will give health to many now Buffering if they will only give it a trial.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully, M. L. MORGAN.
