PRINCE BISMARCK.

■The Berlin correspp^d^t, jOf - ; an Australian contemporary, writing of the Chancellor of the German Empire, says:—lt seems that the idea of State Spcialistp as the only governing nos trum suitable to Germany’s complaint, has grown upon Prince Bismarck to such an extent that he can think and talk of nothing Slse. I have heard this lately from persons who have to do with him daily, and their accounts of his present “ view ” are curiously confirmed by the circumstance that the deutsthe Allgemeine r Zeitung, a semi official journal".'receivinginspiration direct fron/himself, selected' his birth day morning to publish a “ first leader,” printed in what is here' called “fat type/’ settidg-forth iSocialism as the only possible principle upon which to base a righteous and durable regime, and signalising tbeHohenzqllerp family motto, “ Suum cuiqui ttibuito” as the device of all'others which Socialists should, pnUlilJilftrgi^r^TH^pfr-r% embl6mati£ usCHs jjacafeexaUed-, order orcnivalry, and'ftbm that distin guished position,’' ;tthes’ -German Chan cellor’s journalistic mouthpiece would transfer it to the flag of the Coramun-- •ards. Such an anomaly is. sufficiently startling especially during the .“off” political season, and I am bound to say that it does so. The “humor ot it” is that Prince Bismarck all the while is at heart the staunchest of l ories. His enthusiasm for Socialism is entirely due to a conviction on his part tha r t Bocialfsm, dexterously * manipulated by his own master-hand, may be utilised as an instrument of power. To dominate this *emngly, untame, able monster — Ger man empire has any need to fear—break it in, harness it, so to speak, 0 to th*d State coach, and drjve it-whithersoever he pleases, is teeming with temptations for so dajrjng-a, poli T tical entrepreneur as the German Chan cellor, and anyone well acquainted wtth him ijqadily understand his-; under-: taking it. But 1 cannot bring myself to ,it as anything moye than an not an swer his expectations, he will one day get weary. He. has tried :so; raaqy, and not one, as yet, has even enabled him to secure a majority (in the German House of Commons) upon which he could reckon, to pass .three successive Government measures in one session ! Nor is there the least probability that* he will achieve this 1 particular disidera tum by the aid of the Socialist faction, which eyery other Parliamentary party In Germany, including even the Pro gressionists, looks upon as the common foe —hostis humani generis. But his temporary adoption of Socialism as a “ governing principle ” may turn out a successful bid for popularity, and is at least an ingenious expedient for pro pitiating the disciples of Petroleum and Dynamite, who are alarmingly (i td the Iront” just now throughout Europe.. One cannot help feeling a little curious to know what the good old Kaiser— one of the few Sovereigns living who still believes in rule by Divine right— thinks of it all. Perhaps nobody tells him anything likely to annoy him, in which case,-as he never by any chance reads the papers himself, he may be ..entirely unaware that his trusted 'Ministers Press organ has been making hot propaganda ibr. a political creed, which proposes, as a primary obser vance »of. itsl tenets, to. abolish mon mctfsp property; religion/ and family ties. I cannot help thinking that it ,woald «bmewhat < surprise l His Majesty to,learn this, well as to hear , that was regarded by the JBeparck-inspired journal as an. admir ably terse and complete experience of the Sociil-Democratic articles of faith.

At the South Canterbury Board of Education meeting yesterday the annual report was read, showing the number of children attending school at -the end of the year to be 3853. It regretted that the compulsory clauses: were not more generally enforced.,. The receipts for the year were L12,306’T1s 2d, and the ex penditure Llo,®Kfjlsa lid. At the close of tjie jrear SS teachers and 11 sewing mistresses were employed by the Board.

• of. the. Geraldine County Council yesterday a resolution was moved “ That instead of adding to the present over-burdened and system of local government, it be considered more advisable fbi l the Council to abdicate in favor. o# .Btoad:Boa^da:” 1 After a long d||^BfiQp /; was lost. ; There is a Btrqng.jfewpg' ia tha jaiinds of some merpWW.aqq not* a ’few ’ratepayers of .the 'that tile*' Council '* Government should be-abolished in Geraldine as being quite unnecessary. •: -^0

I© Petrie, Chairman of the Board of Education, addfefcied the meeting, which re him a noisy and hostile reception, was resolved—First, to endorse and approve the action of the local Committee; aeotflilly, to prepare a’ monster petition to the Minister of Education, praying for the appointment of a Commission to inquire into the management of. the Education Board during" the past three years; thirdly, to request Messrs Seddon and FitaGerfeld/lit Hiß.’s, to bring in a Bill fourthly, to.telegraph the foregoing resolu tions to the* Minister of Education.

The Company is ‘proposeil to be formed for, the purpose- of .purchasing the pro pertyjand, business of the Lion Brewery Company in Ashburton. ~ The.very extensive agricultural district,- in the centre of which the town of Ash .burtioiiiis sittiated,' lb one in which a very jarge private as well as hotel tiade ia carried on, and the facilities for brewing all that could be wished, and the water-of betted quality'fob - ' the purpose than cart be found elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury, - The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S, 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Casa streets. The building ia of brick) with a concrete cellar, which can be extended underground at a very small cost, and is quite new, having been erectedjabout twelve months/; The Building and Plant is all of first class quality, well arranged and very com plete, and with the connection already established it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in extending the business, with the influence of the Company and capital, throughout Canterbury, but particularly throughout the Ashburton pbuUfy. ; > - >■; The success which has attended the Brewery-Companies in every part of the world offers a great inducement to capitalists and investors to take up shares ift Companies of -this- description,; and the promoters have ' the greatest confidence in the success of the proposed Company, and'have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. -It is further proposed to obtain the ser vices of a first-class brewer, to ensure a large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is £20,000, a comparatively 'small sum is required to purchase the pre sent premises and plant of the Lion Brewery, viz., £3,000, the stock being fcakeh-'at a'valuation. The increased capital is required to ex tend the present premises and business, and also toierect a mallhouse. It is be lieved that malting will be a very profit able branch of the Company’s business owing to the quantity of barley grown in the immediate district. It is proposed to issue 2,000 shares only at present, but it will be left to the dis cretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as they think desir able. It proposed to call up £2 per share, as required, in calls of not more than 10s per share, and at intervals, after the allot ment, of not less than three months. The remaining shares will be issued to the public (preference being given to existing shareholders) as the requirements of the Company develope, and it is confi dently believed that a substantial premium wilEbe:obtained bn them, as in the case of other Brewery Companies, such premiums to be placed toa reserve fund, and there by strengthen the position of the Com pany. If the Company is not floated, the de posits will be returned in full to the appli cants. The Share LLt will be closed .on Mon day, the 18th June., 1172 Hotels FOREST HOTEL. r:: John Tisch, Who has again taken the hotel at Alford Forest, would be glad to receive a call: from his old friends, and as many new ones as can make it convenient to give a look in.

Business Notices. AN EVIL AND ITS REMEDY.—T 3 the Editor, —It isahealthy sign ofthe times when out - ;, papers are-beginning 10 deal in a fearipKS; planner with bankrupts-and the . bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state ;of>afi|airs;whiph is a'disgrace; to, our boasted civilisation. " We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about 2i I A. years, and ' the money we have lost daring that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally :amounts ■ tbi a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us; then we must protect ourselves, and i there is only one way to do so, viz., to; abolish ' the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries; besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rottento the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cash only in future. The honest man who Is willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system We are p-epared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices.;—Gentleman’s suit made j to order, £2 18s fid; ladies’ tailor made | ulster, £2.

TESTIMONIALS. ' • •>: . Rangiota, July 7,188 L Sir, —Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to.-be skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties -of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placec in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. Or weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14J grains, i Or further submitting the extract to-analysis I found it to be rich in tahnia. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, ai well as in many chronic cases and ii dysentery, Ihave proved it to possess grea specific control, added to the unusua feature in a majority of diarrhoea' medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. £ feel satisfied that from the number of trials I have beer enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modem therapeutics; The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book :—, , . Case No. I—Mrs M——, West Eyre ton, suffering for two years from chronii dysentery, which had reduced her-almosi to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s tria Hot only had the diarrhoea stopped, bul she commenced eating meat without pain and the usual concomitant vomiting. Ii two months she had gained ISlbs weight. Case No. 2—A G., child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured -on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had bon tracted’dysentery in India got a small tw< ounce phial, and was well before -he had finished half of it. ■ (Signed) Charles DeLaov McCarthy, M.

They have been’with grea auc cess introduey into the principal families in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, v They are guaranteed to do away,ih a very : short time, with' many serious complaints. . like Bronchitis, Piles, Ulcers,, Ulcerated f Throats, etc:, ’if takenyin time, as .these sicknesses'are often caused by, wrirma ;df ! ’airkihds,' espeqiolly by the Tape' 01 and by ihe moot dangerous Thread Worm, ! which, if not destroyed in time, I will . Soon l > -create the hardly-curable,Worm Fever, ;s The smallest, the Thread Worm, will more !' than any -other worm penetrate through 1 ‘ all the crevices of the. body up to -the “ brain! An example was recently wit n nessed, where a child falling continually into fits (the parents not knowing rthe , n casiae) at- last died with the .brain affected [ 3: by the too fatal Thread Worm. Stilimore : °i recently there was a case, agrown- man ts : whose seat was affected by the -Thread ® Worm, and who, after-trying -many;sorts I of remedies, without effect was directly . I relieved by a dose of ; ’ ; 1 ‘ ; DR HEILBRON’S . : t Worm Cakes. n There are cases where the worms come c ~: away that they almost can be counted ; e then often they qome away in whole clots, ; and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, l "i and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to leave by Drflail broil’s ? Worm Cakes. And there have been other 10 cases where children affected-with Worms, **• when coughing or sneezing, do discharge “ them through the mouth and nose. .. >, lt The symptoms of Worms are generally *> .as follows .- —Lassitude, Giddiness, De- n i pression of , Spirits,: (which if not acted against, wiH engender '• diseases of the bile), Disorder of the “ Stomach, and Digestive Organs, . Sick Headaches, Vomiting, ; Disturbed Sleep, '■ and. .many more serious: complaints,: in 'P eluding Fits, of which last ; many persons d have been ; cured by these. Worm i Oakes. No time should be lost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in sizo and '• quantity, and ultimately spread, through out the intestines. If Worms ace ne glected for a time they will do so .much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the system of digestive organs. ;j . . DIRECTIONS FOB USB. . The quantity of these Worm Cakes to e be taken at a dose depends mostly on the it age and constitution of the. patient. La 0 most oases a couple .of doses-will drive the i- worms away for-.many years, if' not en e tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake from 2 ’, to 4 years old, one whole Cake ; from, 4 to 8 years, one Cake and a half; from ß to e J. 4,: two Cakes ; and so. to increase with e the age, but never more than four Cakefc 3 at one dose. Grown females may gene* 1 rally take three Cakes at a dose, and * grown men four Cakes, according to-eoh - stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Cakes is by taking the dope before going to bed, and on the followizig morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast. As I am not certain how long I may stay in this town, and as these Worm Cakes can be obtained at a very 'small ex pense families,will, do, well to, have always a small supply of them at their houses! -■ Orders for -, the Country promptly fixdcutodt MRS E, HOMBBRG, Sole Agent.
