An extremely unusual occurrence hap pened at M. de Rothschild’s bank in Paris the other day. a band of some fifty Polish Jews entered the bureaux and claimed pecuniary assistance. As they refused to retire unless their demand was complied with, M. de Rothschild was •obliged to send for the police to expel them from his premises. Gr. Meyer, at a recent meeting of the Socidte d’Encouragement, exhibited a new paste combination designed for the manu facture of incombustible cardboard or paper of all sorts and shades. Asbestos was the principle thing employed in its manufacture. He presented specimens of writing, printing, engraving, etc., made with his inks of different colors, and also showed a - water-color drawing that had been submitted to the fiery ordeal of the potter’s furnace. The painting had prc served all its brilliancy and the paper all its flexibility. A lithograph, fifteen by - sixteen centimetres, was placed between ‘two’layers of glass in a stats of fusion. 'On removal the paper was found to have completely ’ resisted the action of the ■ beat, and the engraving to have preserved all its sharpness.

They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and .meet the approval of all who have examined them. ‘‘ Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand,'May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings:— Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 . ' Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gbre, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 Ist Awari of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Irt Prize, Patea Show, December,. 1881 Ist Prize, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Sonthbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882. The Principal Advantages op this, Harrow are as Follows: It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is mere durable. The flexible and spring-tooth wording of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from having' sore shoulders. : A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time, . . • Every tooth being a component part pf the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. - Each tooth acts independently of .the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a iiViack smith’a and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in i harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning overthe turf. ; Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roofs or rocks, thereby making it ! much easier for the team that is drawing it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving ft smooth surface. 1132 ■g O O T M AKERS.
