th«r» let Mm by all means be deprived of that liberty, for it was no longer expedi ent that he should hold it. (Applause.) They bad a corporation and by-laws egainst the storage in their houses of kerosene and gunpowder? Well, why oould they not stow these things in any housethey chose—some of the houses and other buildings were big enough? Well, they could not so stow them, and that was all aboUtit. Their liberty was therefore curtailed, and a fortunate thing that it wee i so. That absolute freedom which they thought they had, they really had not, and it wafl, he repeated, just as well. They must see that such a thing was In fact impossible. Laws and regulations must.be framed not for the individual but for the general good, and they all had to make some concessions, in order that the greatest, good to the~ greatest number might’"be attained. Now they had in thefr midst a fearful thing in this liquor traffio,and one argument urged against the interference of the Legislature in the matter was “because it would interfere with' the liberty of the subject.” Well, if mien were prohibited by law from stor ing gunpowder and kerosene in their houSCs j why should not the law prohibit them from selling liquor ? The position was illogical. By all means let them make thin the test question at the hustings: ** Will you try to give us pjwer to put down this horrid traffic in drink ?” After some further remarks of a similar kind, the speaker sat down amidst considerable applause. Mr Higgins then sang—“ Let me like a soldier fall,” and Miss G. Gates followed with a song. Mr Simmonds then sang “ One story is good till another is told,” Mr Gates then sang, “ I don’t think I’m very far out,” and, as an encore, “ They all belong to Mary,” two comic songs, which were highly appreciated. A vote of thanks to the Chairman for presiding, and another to the ladies and gentlemen who had assisted at the tea and entertainment, followed by the singing of a hymn, terminated an evening which everyone present seemed to have tho roughly enjoyed.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.

ASHBURTON— To-Day. (Before Mr J. N. Wood, R.M.) Drunkenness. —An inebriate was fined 6s, or twenty-four hours. Another offender was discharged with a caution, and a third, remanded for three days, to give him time to “ get it.” A Lucky Escape. —T. Watson, a swagger, was charged with stealing about a dozen and a half of saveloys, the pro perty : of William Miller, of the City Butchery, Wills street.—The prosecutor said he left the butchery last night about 8.30, when everything was secure. On returning some time afterwards, he saw a man jump out of the back window and bolt. ■ Witness followed him across the tussocks, and asked him what he was doing at the butchery. He said, “ Why, you wouldn’t lock me up for stealing a little meat, would you ?” Witness informed the police.—ln reply to accused, pro secutor said that he had seen him loitering about the shop all day, watching the premises.—Accused; “ Well, I was watching a friend who was very drunk, and 1 was afraid lest he should be locked up; that was aIL I was never in such a position before. I am an honest working man, a baker by trade.—ln reply to Sergeant Felton, prosecutor said be had known accused for five or six years. Believed he was a baker by ■ trade. Had known him in Invercargill, where he was the associate of prostitutes.—The accused asked prose cutor whether he did not remember ask ing him for employment in Invercargill, and his telling him that he would see what he could do for him —The prosecutor said he certainly did not remember any thing of the kind.—Constable Neil deposed to arresting accused near the Central Hotel last night on this charge. Ho said, “ You surely would not arrest me for stealing a little pit of meat. Took him into custody and removed him to the lock-up.—The accused when asked by his Worship what ho had to say to the charge, began to whimper and exclaim against the hardness of his lot in being suspected of anything so base as stealing sausages.— His worship was apparently touched by this grief, for he told the accused he might go on the understanding that he cleared out of the town at once. There upon the suspected one’s face cleared up, and mumbling his thanks he beat a hasty retreat with as little loss of time as possible.

LATE EUROPEAN NEWS.

[Pebs.s. Rotomahana, at the Blutp.] London, Oct. 29. The Volksraad, in ratifying the Con vention entered into between the Boer leader and the British Government, de clares that it accepts the Convention in order to avoid bloodshed, and to promote the common welfare of the states of South Africa. The defeat of the Conservatives in the German elections is complete. The pro gressive party antagonistic to Prince Bis marck have gained twelve seats. In the Roman Catholic Cathedral at Dublin yesterday a pastoral letter by Dr M'Cabe, Archbishop of Dublin, was read from the pulpit, in which the “no rents” cry raised by the Irish National Land League was vigorously denounced. The most rev. prelate contended that to advo cate or accept such communistic theories would disgrace any Christian people. Numbers of the congregation left the Cathedral while the pastoral letter was being read.

The German Government have con veyed to the Italian Ministry an assur ance of the special pleasure with which they regard the visit of the King and Queen of Italy to the Austrian Court. London, Oct. 31.

.An important public utterance has been made by the Emperor of Austria in con nection with the Eastern question. Re garding the treaty of Berlin, he states that the settlement then arrived at has been carried out to a satisfactory termination, and that one difficulty after another which has arisen has been overcome. He expresses his firm conviction that the peace of Europe is now ensured. A mass meeting of sympathisers with the Irish Land League has been held at Parson’s Town, situated in King’s County. Several thousand persons attended, and speeches of the ordinary inflammable type were delivered. The meeting passed over without any disturbance. # The magistracy of Cork have resolved to aid tlm Government to the utmost of their power in the suppression of disturbances in their district, and to secure the main tenance of order over 200 Justices have intimated to the authorities their deter mination in this respect. Mr Thomas Sexton, member for County Sligo, and a prominent member of the Home Rule party is seriously ill. His condition is such that his medical advisers have given up hope, and he is believed to be dying. ____________

Giving very great satisfaction, in proof of which we hold numerous testimonials from well-known colonists ; and the demand is daily increasing to such an extent, that numerous spurious imitations ha?e lately been introduced in the various markets of Australia and New Zeaiand, for the sole purpose of damaging the reputation of the Patent Oval Samson Wire.

Manufactured by the Whitecross Wire Company, Warrington, England. Was patented and introduced four years ago in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand; and the principal claim set fourth was itsbeingmade Oval to prevent fraud. Yet, in the face of these patents, firms-—many of respecaltry standing—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to the intro duction of various spurious imitations, which render them lia’o’e to actions at law, and annoyance and disappointment to the users. Wo would point out to intending pur chasers that any person erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very , explicit; therefore, after this notice n° excuse can be made. Wehave had instances brought under our notice where son eperson s h ave been so un principled as to mix the Spurious Oval Wire amongst the Patent Oval Samson in order to make a sale, and damage the the reputation of the genuine article.

A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, how being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes'for the purpose of changing .grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will, positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it dr leaving: that’ offensive smefl which most of the hair preparations of fjhe day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to jits natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes, growth, and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con-



tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow-1



ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chejnist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles ill the kingdom, 6dJ per bottle.
