The munificence of the Duke of Norfolk as a Catholic is wonderful. It is calculated that within the past ten years he had applied over £200,000 to his religion. Vice Versa. — ■ " Ma," asked a little girl '• do they ever call a smart dog a .clever man ?' ' — ' ' Why, no. Whatever put such a notion m your head?" — " I didn't know but they did, becuase I often hear folks call a smart man a clever dog." A comely maiden, just from old England, reached Pittsburg the other day, left the railroad car, and stumbled against a " stalwart German puddler," who stopped for a moment, looked at her, and walked with her to her cousin's house to be married, which was done m five minutes. And now that happy puddler has changed his name to Muddler, and all the young women m Pittsburg are practicing the new dodge of running 1 against stalwarts m the street. This is the latest thing out m the marriage line. THli new Pure Cash System now being initiaedt by G. and C. will certainly prove a benefit to the public. It has been a great success m Sydney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out the customer who buys at an establishment where the goods are marked low to ensure a rapid sale must be a great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery, millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder m a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bear a portion of the loss should the year's business prove unsatisfactory. Garlick and Cramvell will aim to retain tho confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and are detirmmed to give the pure cash system a fair trial ; whether they gain or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods at co-operative prices ; just the same as though they made a personal selection. Furnishing goods, such as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house furniture, the largest portion of which is turned out at our own factory, will be marked at the lowest remunerative prices, and a discount of five per cent, will be allowed to those who pay at the time of purchase, G. &C. having realised the entire value of their stock during their late cash sale, tho present stock is xkw and ciikai'LY houcjht. An inspection is invited. — Garlick and Craxwkli., City Hall Furnishing Arcade, Queenstreet, Auckland.
