JOURNALISM WITHOUT CAPITAL

[FROM “ PHILADELPHIA TIMES. ” J . The successful public journals of the country hay? been started, as a rule, without money. The Ledger was founded by. three working men, whose capital consisted' of their intelligence and industry, and they thus founded, without capital, * newspaper property that wotrtd be cheap at three millions. The Press was started by Colonel For ney when ,he had no capital, and he made i its grandest success with little financial aid. The Times was founded only eight years ago with a nominal capital, and it has long been paying thrice Government interest on a mil lion. The New York Herald was started without ’ capital Mr Bennett .was} its sole editor, reporter, business m&n, and salesman, and now five mil lions would not. buy it. The Tribune was started in like manner by Mr Gree ley, and he died leaving it worth a mil lion. The Sun was founded by Mr Beach [“ Hudson’s History of Journal ism,” says Benjamin H. Day, was the founder of the Sun] without capital, and was made the - most prosperous penny paper in the country, as it is now the most prosperous two-cent journal. The Baltitaore i .Sa« was the creation .of the Philadelphia Ledger men, and its vener able the surviving partner of the' old firm of Swain, Abel and Sim mons, is a millionaire outside of his property. Tlf 1 only profitable journal that Wash- known Since the war is the Star, an*d* B if was the creation of brain and' muscle—not of money. The Springfield, Mass., Republican, the model provincial daily of the country, as well as the most successful, was built up from an obscure weekly solely by the patient industry and masterly ability of the late Mr Bowles.

It is the misfortune of every traveller in Australia (writes Mr Archibald Forbes in the Sydney Morning Herald) to have forced on his notice the foul expressions and revolting oaths with which Australians of the lower orders habitually disfigure the& conversation. Americans swear ** considerable tall,” but there the lowest American bridles his tongue, when women are within hearing, and gives practical effect to the aphorism, Maxima reverentia debetur pueris.. , The foul-mouthed Aus tralian, it is painfully evident, has neither regard for women nor reverence for child ren. It seems to me this is the loathsome stain on the colonial escutcheon. In a Townsville hotel it was my misfortune to occupy a bedroom next to the one in which were quartered some cricketers, who had come down from Charters Towers to play a match on the Queen’s Birthday. Their conversation reeked with oaths and obscenity. The bedrooms were separated by partitions, open above for coolness and ventilation, so that the conversation going on in any room was audible to the occu pants of the whole range. On the other side of my apartment from the cricketers’ quarters was a roam occupied by a lady and '•hild. This fact I ventured to acquaint the crickete;s with, putting it to their manhood that “ I was sure ,they would be ashamed of their language when they were told it must reach the ears of a lady and her child.” There is not a den in all America, as I believe, where such an appeal.would not have been effective. But it had no weight with the “ gentle men ” from Charters Towers. Quite the contrary in fact. Not only did they per severe ostentatiously in their foul ta’.k, but they assailed the remonstrant across the partition with a volley of opprobrious epithets. You cannot put a spine into a jelly-fish. It is impossible to teach them manhood, because of this attribute they had no share.

When the mail left, Leland Stanford, the San Francisco railway king, was “sick unto death ” with brain fever.

Business Notices. An evil and its remedy.—tj the Editor, —It is ahealthy sign ofthe times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with fcankrup'S 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 affairs which is a dug'ace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupt, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must piotect ourselves, and there is orffy one way to do so, v : z., to abohsh the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countiies besides New Zealand, and past expedience has proved it to be rotten to 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 prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following I unusually low prices ;—Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s fid ; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2. All other goods in proportion, for cash only. CRAIGHEAD & CO., TAILORS AND CLOTHIERS, Tancred Street. C. Byel, QYSTER SALOON. Fresh and Smoked FISH always on hand. Tea and Coffee at all hours.

TESTIMON Y LS. Paugiora, July 7, 1881. Sir, —Having (’ca,ve'a ll y examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I 6ud it to be skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties of <he plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated slate, a fact winch X have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be grains. On further submb iiog the extract to analyses I found it to be rich in tannin._ In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea,, as well as in many chronic cases and in dyaenteiy, Ihaveproved.it to possess great specific control, added to toe unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel saJsSecl that from the number of tf'als I have been enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modern therapeutics. The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book : Case No. I—Mrs M , West Eyre ton, Buffeting for two years from chronic dysentery, which bad reduced her almost to a skeleton. ALer a fortn’ghts .rial not only had the diavrbcea s opped, but she commenced eating meat without ji?’n, and the usual oonconiiiant vorjil-'jg. In two months she had gained JLSlhs we'g’n.,. Case No. 2—A G.,child, aged fiveyears. ■ Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had coo tracted’dyseateiy in Ir dia got a small two ounce yhial, and was well before he had finished ha’f of it. (Signed.) CffAiicEs DeLacv McCAETev, M.

EPPS CHOaOLATE ESSENCE jyi HEILB RON’S WORM CAKES These Cakes are principally prepared 1 from B erbs, and do not contain any dan gerously active ingredients. They have a wonderful effect in curing children, as well as grown persons, by removing the worms. They have been with grea suc cess intcoduey into the principal families in Europe, A usl ralia, and New Zealand; They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchitis, Piles, Dicers, Ulcerated Throats, eic., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are often caused by worms: of aU kinds, especiolly by the Tape Worm; • and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, ; which, if not-destroyed in time, will soon > creaie the iiavdly-curable Worm Fever. The smallest, the ‘Thread Worm, will more > than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices of the body up to the , brain. An example was recently wit nessed, where a child fading coa -oually i into fits (the parous not knowing the j cause) at Lsfc died with ihe brain affected 3 by the too fatal Thread Worm. 'Stillmore recently there was a case, a grown man > whose seat was affected by the Thread . Worm, and who, after trj ing many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of , DR BEIL6CON’S Worm Cakes. There are cases where the worms come f away that they almost can be counted - ■ then often they come away in whole clots,“ •' and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff,: i and although not so perceptible,- st'U they; i are caused to leave by .Dr Heilbrou’a, , Worm Cakes. And there have been .other ! cases where children affected nith Worms, i when coughing or soee.fiog, do discharge ■ " them, through the mouth and nose. f ( The symptoms of Worms are generally ’ as follows;—Lassitude, Giddiness,” Do-: I .pressioa of Spirits, Impaired Appetite.j ’ (which it"notnoroti will engender '* diseat,-s of the b‘le), Disorder of the/ J Stomach and Digestive Organs, Side ■* Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep)., 5 and many more serious complaints, iri- , J clud'og Fits, of which last many persona , have been cured- by these Worm Cakes. / 1 No time should be lost in removing these! 5 Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in si.re and' I quantity, aud ultimately spread through j out the intestines. If Worms are ne i glected for a time they will do so much r damage as to make it beyond human skill ; to restore and reorganise the system of digestive organa. ' UTR GCTIONS FOR USE. The quaiiiiiy of these Worm Cakes td be taken at a dose depends mostly on the , age and constitution of the patient. In L most cases a couple of doses will drive the 1 worms away for many years, if not en i tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 1 to 4 years old, one whole Cake ; from 4 1 to 8 years, one Cake and a half: from Stu 14, two Cakes ; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Cakes at a dose, aud grown men four Cakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Cakes is by taking the dose before going to bed, aud on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast. ggS* 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.
