Air—"Jock o'Hazeldenn." The'following, from the Daily Mail, is a specimen of the Scotch campaign literature —and not a bad one :— What Seek ye by the Cljcle, Cecil— U hat seek jt- by the Lhde > Y r ou kiiow til it Scotland cares for none "Who's not on Willies side. Who's not on Willies sidi\ Cecil, '1 lie ni'nplo's inendho's been ; An' never was, 'raang statesman a l, ..The like o'Gladlstone seen.

SniVsCiiii'Tioxs towards a Mozart monu ment at Vienna were being offeiccl freely in CJei many ; 100,000(1. are needed, and 60.000 of those had been promised up to the beginning of October. A BvciibLOß farmer in Arizona advertised in the San Francisco papers for a wife. The reply that pleased him most came from a young lady employed in a dry goods store. He hastened to the city, presented himself, was accepted, and ten days later the pair was married. Soon after returning to his home in Arizona the farmer took his wife down to Almeda to visit his In-other, when to the amazement of all, it was found that his bi other's wife and his were sisters A worthy schoolmaster once resolved to put down the pi.ictice of profane swearing among his pupils. Strict watch he kept, and it was not long before three youths were caught in the act. All pleaded guilty, and were duly punished. Resolved to impiove the occasion, the teacher requested each of the youths to promise he would never swear again. Two of them ab once complied, but the third held out and would not promise. On being pie&ted for his leason, he leplied — " We've a cuddy at hame, sir, and he'll no gang unless ye swear at him." Tun New Zealand Methodist has the following oditoii.il comments on the recent adverse decision of the Wesleyan Confeience at Cniistclnuch with lespect to the piopoied union of the \.uions| blanches of Methodism in New Zealand : — " We do not affect to conceal our disappointment. Jn our judgment the separation asked for w.is necessary for seeming a most promising development of Methodism in this colony, and it is a souice of no small regiet to us that by the action of Confeiencp our hopes of a movement fonvard urgently called for, as we believe, by the necessities of our position aie h»ld in check.

Coibon, pi evident of the committee of inspection, gi\Cs some intciesting iufoimalion as to the wOlw 01 king of tho ineasme. which was only parsed in 1874. Tho niunbei of establishments inspected last year was 40,314, and though this is nothing this is nothing like all the inanufactoiie»- and woikshops m which childien aie employed, theio has been a steady inciease since the law first crune into foice. The establishments inspected aie of every kind, but the law makes an exception in favour of chaiitable institutions and establishments belonging to the State, exceptions of which the piesident of the committee questions tho expediency. The numbei of cluldicn in tbo )(>,3H establishments inspected List year was 213,001, a id it is pointed out that theio is a inaiked falling off in the total of childien employed in these establish. menti>. this being attubured in pait to the fact of their paients finding moie luciative employment for them, in p.-it to the operation of the law of 1882 with legaid to compulsory education.

At v Busy Snow. — Aiopoiter in the States attended a baby show and inspected a pair of tw ins. "Very pretty, indeed," he said, with sweet earnestness ; "which is the oldest? 1 "Neither," said the mother, looking surprised and somewhat angry. "1 observe," he con turned, pointing at one ot the cheiubs with his pencil, "that this little one does not look well; I tiust, my good woman, he has enough io eat. ' " lie is a gnl, sir,'' leplied the mother, with intense dignity, " and hei diet is propeily attended to, sir " " Yes, of cotnse," continued the reporter, looking more critically at the child, "I was aware of that. Now, don't you think that the paleness of the little thing is unnatural ? I would not insinuate that it has not enough to cat, but is the food of the right kind ? Now I know that nothing builds up the systi'in more lapidly tlia.ii toast beef; the child ought to hate a bbeial supply of fie&h beef at once. No teeth, I observe, too," pursued the repoiter musingly, " that's very bnd indeed. I suppose the unhappy child has been bionght here as a curiosity. And it has no hair worth mentioning. Poor thing !" Then he turned to the mother and remarked consolingly. " Let us be thankful, my poor woman, for the progress of science and arts. Thp unfoitunate child can be provided with teeth by the dentist, and there aie hair restoratives. We may as&uiup, at least, that it has a soul, and we know that not a spairow is permitted to fall to the ground unnoticed. Even the hans of our head aie numbered, and you may rest assured that this small representative of fallen humanity was sent hither for some good purpose. It is awful, my poor woman — take it away." And the mother seized tho twins distiactedly and fled from the show. Th 3 Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. Tin's is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imda ted is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole woild that Hop Bitters was the •was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine ou earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the pi ess and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money [ on thp credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. B , with variously r devised names in which the word "Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bjtters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style jior name is, and especially those with the ; -word " ITop" or Hops" in , their name op in , any way connected with them or their name, are imitations of counterfeits. Beware of tthem. Touch none of, them. . Use nothing but genuine American Hop , Bitters, w.ith a bunch or^cUJa.ter of green Hops on the 1 white label, and Dr Soule's jijSDpflftblo.wnin the gljiss, ' else. Druggists and Chemists j^re warned against dealing in imitation's of counterfoil. - ."■'.' >■ >J*. i
