TRADES AND LABOUR.

Tho Socialist Congress

Labour commission*

[special.] London, August 20. At a conference between labour and co-operative societies, it was resolved to effect a closer union between the distributive stores and the productive societies. Brussels, August 20. The Socialist Congress has resolved to enquire into the best means of developing and unifying the working classes; to promote legislation; to unite the workers of the world; and to secure emancipation from a system which forces the workers to receive a pittance of Vages in return for their labour. (United Press Association.) The Socialist Congress has resolved to organise a permanent Labour Commission in every country, for the purpose of collecting and exchanging information.

SECOND EDITION

The thoroughbred stallion ''Voltigeur," who has some of the bery best racehorseß in the district, is advertised to travel the Wairarapa this season. Some very excellent blotting pads, in the shape of an advertising sheet, have been received by ua fron) Mr A. J. Hathaway, the looal agent of the Bout n British Fire and Marine Insuranoe Go. It is understood the Alhambra team, which is viaitine Wellington, will be -Wh 0 f Ross, full back ; Downes, three- _ - 1 h»lf: and Johnston, quarter; Crawtoru. * v_ forward; their places will be tmeu ut, seoond fifteen men. In consequence of this weakness of the team, the Masterton engagement is unlikely to-eventuate. The programme of the concert to given on Tuesday evfening next as a com. plimentary benefit to Mr B. C. Colemkn, appears in our advertising columns. /

The faneral of the lata JSrihapeti Whakamairu took place this afternoon. The cort&ge was composed of natiyes from livery part of the district, and a large number |of European friends. A funeral service was held in St. Matthew's Church, the ceremony at the grave being conducted by the Rev W. E. Paige.

The members of Pearson's Brass Band j who proceeded to 'ireytown last night, express themselves highly pleased with the treatment they received au the hands of the Groytown Band. Duriiig the summer months the latter intends pay-> ing frequent visits to Masterton to play in the Park Oral on Sunday afternoons. Mr A. W. Cave, of Te Ore Ore, has added materially to the draught stock of the district by the importation from Southland of the draught Clydesdale stallion, " 'ihe Macgregor." The pedigree of this animal will bear favourable comparison with that of any sire* in the district. " The Macgregor " will stand this season at Mr Cave's farm on Te Ore Ore. The well-known thoroughbred sire " Pisoatorious" will alau be at the seivice of breeders.

The Marlborongh Daily Tunis gives an account of the success of Messrs P. and D, Duncan's implements in that district. At the ploughing match held at Blenheim on the 28th iust., the four Duncan plouphs competing were successful in securing first place in each champion double and single furrow classes, first in class 2 double furrows, and second in boys' class. The victory is all the more commendable as the four ploughs had to compete against a bevy of others attracted by specially valuable prizes offered for the one make of plough axclusively. The Blacksmith and Wheelwright Manufacturing Company are the agents in Maatertan for these implements.

We notice *ith pleasure that the business of Mr F. J. Pinny, of Courtenay Place, Wellington, has increased to such an extent that he is moving into larger and more central premises in Manners' street. He makes the change next Saturday, and on that date and «übsequently is to bo fouud at the new warehouse. It says much for the quality of musical instruments that Mr Pinny keeps, when it is reoognised that he has drawn purchasers of pianos and organs from all parts of the Province, and even has reoeived orders from Napier, Canterbury, and Greymouth, while suffering under the disadvantages of limited storage and Bhow-room accommodation and of a far from convenient business site. In the new premises he intends to keep a much larger stock in eyery department, and the result of the enterprise cannot but greatly increase the output of the establishment. Mr Pinny, it will be noticed on tbe perusal of his advertisement, makes a specialty-of the repair of accordeons, and keeps an exceedingly choice selection of these instruments on hand. This should especially interest country customeis-

A couple of Irishmen who had not been long in this country met at an inn and called for dinner. As it happsded, theie was a dish of horse-radish grated

for dinner. Pat, thinking it was something to be eaten with a spoon, put a large spoonful into his mouth. The tears immediately filled his eyes and rolled down his cheeks. His companion saw it. and said, " Pat, what is the matter?" 1 was just thinking olmy poor father who was hanged in swate Ireland," answered Fat. But Jenny aeon filled his mouth the same, and as the tears gushed from eyes also, Pat says: "What's the matter, what has happened to ye ?" "Ah" says Jemmy ; "I was just thinking what a pity it was that you were not hanged when your father was."

Mrs. Fanny Dent, wife of a gentleman employed in the Lambton collieries, kindly allows us to publish the following facts of her interesting case and wonderful recovery, which we gather from her correspondence, aad which we shall be glad to allow anyone to peruse who wishes to do so. Mrs. Dent has been in a state of extreme debility for twelve years, frequently quite unable to do any work, the lightest kind causing great fatigue, with severe pains in the limbs, backhand left the down frequently. Walking exercise was trying, and she could only walk very slowly. She had long seen Clements Tonic advertised, but like many more people, her httsband wsb prejudiced against" patent medicines," bnt (now we use her own words), " I knew someone who had tried Clements Tonic andl deoided to get a bottle on the quiet and say nothing about it if it did me uo good. The effect I thought something wonderful. I felt better after the first dose, and by the time I had taken ha>f a bottle I was a different woman. My husband, friends and neighbors soon noticed the change in me. and they could not make it out. I had to tell tho truth that it was Clements Tonic that was making me strong. I could not keep the seoret, 1 was only too glad to give the credit to Ciements Tonic. After finishing the bottle, work was no trouble to me, but rather a pleasure, and after doing a heavy day's washing I coMld go for a walk instead of having to go i>o bed, as always happened before taking Olemekts Tonic. One of my neighbours said to me las' week—'Why, Mrs Dent, you are doing wonders this week, how is it you are so strong now V She knew I had done more that week than I had been able to do in 1

12 years before (she had known me this time, for I am an old resident of this locality, having lived here for 15 years). 1 replied; 'Yes, 1 feel a wonder to myself, so I'll tell you the secret; I have been taking Clements Tonic, and 1 cannot tell you the benefit I have derived from it. You know what my sufferings have been, and now 1 have a genuine taste of good health." Mrs Dent wrote us those particulars of her remarkable cure iu March. She wisely, however, deoidedtc continue the medicine to "oliuch the cure "as it vrere, Some time afterwards she wrote as follows: —" Waratah Commonaee, N.S.W., —Sir,—lt is with great pleasure that I pen these few lines. 1 have beeu as you know a great sufferer from weakness and debility for years. I was under several doctors, but they | never did any good. 1 despaired ever being better, but, as I stated in my last letter, 1 saw Clements tonio advertised, 1 tried a bottle and itß effect waß something wonderful. 1 felt better almost immediately, and was a new woman after finishing the first bottle. Before taking Clements Tonio it was a great trouble even to do a little housework, but afterwards my work was a pleasure, and my friendß and neighbours were surprised it the change in me. 1 cannot say too much in praise of it, and can only gratefully desoribe my case, and strongly advise all those who suffer from weakness, backache, pain in the side, nngin? noises in the ears and shortness of breath, to take Clements Tonio. 1 feel sure it will do them as much good as it has done me. —Yours. gratefully, Fanny Dent." , .i--
