" Funerals of the 1 right colour' by order of tho Government," is tho latest novelty, In the Masterton Cemetery, there is a Wesley an ground j and on the Cemetery Trust, a Wesleyan has always sat, to look after tho interests of his community. Eocontly, tho Wesleyan congregation selected a devout man by the uamo of Daniell to represent it on the Trust, and the Trustees asked the Government to gazette him in accordance with tho Wosloyan wish. The Government, however, discovered that Daniell, though a prophet, is not of tho " right colour," and they have writton back saying that Eton is their man, and they want to gazette him. Eton is, no doubt, a lion, but ought he to be allowed to swallow up Daniell? Mr Eton is not, wo believe, a Wesleyan, and even if he he* camo ono, it is questionable whether the WesleyanS would select him to look after their cemetery ground. However, the matter is one for tho Wesleyan congregation to deal with, All will regret that the Government should endeavour to infuse political bias into the administration of a country graveyard,

To Ulster Bayers and Buyers of Ulsters. They, that is Hooper and Co., have just opened 14 cases of Ladieß and Children's Ulsters and Jaokots, of every shape, kind, and material, The prices are extremely low and it is their intontention to make the trade in this line hum. They won't quote prices because such a plan is delusive in the extreme to say an Ulster (and when we say .Ulster we mean a ladies Ulster) of a certain shape is offered at a certain price, is no evidenced excellence, Indeed, the statement nmy and somethne's.-does carry with it condemnatory proof of the most convincing kind. An Ulster quoted at 10s 9d may bo only worth half as much. Besides, buyers know too well the cost to need the assistance of a price list. It is thusly you want an Ulster. You've a pound Of two to spend or may be it i? only half as much, or possibly less I Do you find any consolation' in the fact that Ulsters are to be bad at this price and that? No. You've so much money to. lay out and you want to disburse it to the best advantage I What do you do? Do jouwasto your time in the study of' price lists when the source of supply is oloso to your door ? ■ Clearly not I • You put on your hat or bonnet as the ease may be, according to your inclination, and make tracks straight ! for Hooper and Company's Boa WarcM, '
