LARRIKINISM.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir. —ln your issue of the 6th Inst, you refer to larrikiniam in connection wiih the Templar Hall. It is qui.e true that the door of the Hall was hurst open, hut what can you expect ? Evidently the police are powerless It is the opinion of many that they have orders from head quarters not to interfere with Ashburton larrikins. I believe the Ashburton police a-e desirous of doing their duty without fear, it permitted. I have observed a “ drunk ” slightly “ under the influence ” irstantly “ run in,” though not interfer ing with any one, nor interrupting the traffic of tin ttreet, but when fifty or sixty young larrikins interrupt the busi ness of East street for a whole day, and insult and assault peaceable citizens going about their business, and that too under the noses of the police, one is compelled to believe that the latter are restrained fr m interfertnes by superior orders. Though the police were witnesses of the cowardly ruffianism of the larrikins dur ing the late snow, not the slightest action was taken by them to s f op the nuisance. Why should the duty of bringing to justice these young ruffians be left to a Private Citizen.

Georges Ohnet, the noted French dramatist, who is only 38 years old, narrowly escaped destroying his own fortune. He was dissatis fied with “ Le Maitre de Forges ” and threw it into the fire. Mme Ohnet snatched it from the flames, and it was this play which mads his reputation and his fortune. The London correspondent of the Pmit tells a [story of a man who went the other day into a hairdresser’s shop to be shaved; As he was being operated upon the barber said, “ I have had the honor, sir, of shaving a great man this morning, no less a person indeed than Mr Gladstone.” “ Then I wish, when you had been about it,” was the decidedly sanguinary reply, “ that you had managed to out his throat.” “Now.it is a very hextra ordinary fact, sir,” said the barber, “ but you’re the sixth gentleman I've told about my shaving Mr Gladstone, and you’ve all made hexactly the same remark.”

AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. BE. AUGUSTE KUESTEINEE’S ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, and pronounced by all Leading Physicians THE GEEATE r i' DISCOVERY OF THE AGE ! IN placing the Electric Ne. before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special At. on to the fact that the mat ral surrounding the inner chain of metallic substances .:d with a chemical solution, harmless in itself, and yet con* taining titanic powers, which generate a continuous light currrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contain, all the virtues of a miniature battery, and therefore not a useless article like many of the sc-callcd electric appliances which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are in* implete in the most essential requirements, and cannot general 3 galvanism nor produce galvanic eff. cti. . , This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist. Dr Angnste Kurateiner, who is the highest Enropjan authority on all di°e... 1 of women and children. “ The Lancet,” the leadin'* m lical journal of the wor.d, says:—“ The tact that the discovery nd invention of th C 3 Neckie 1 is announced by Dr Knretemer is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothei..'.” , , . , ... Although ne.v to New Zealand, there Necklets have been used for the last five years with tne meet Wonderful Success in England, on the Continent, and in the United States, and are now constantly presented by the most eminent physicians in their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of motners doling the painful period of the teething of infanta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoso lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Croup, and Chicken Fix, thus relieving cb'ldhcod of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid. ..... , . , Dr Knrsteiner has appointed Messrs J. Cokrad & Co., Auckland, his sole agents in New Zealand for the sale 01 these Necklets, of whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at *ho very lowest possible point, barely covering the cost of importation, ana is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. _ ~ . . . , Aside from I* many virtues os a remedial and preventive agent; the Necklet is a handsome ornament, and will be sent pest free on receipt of One Pound, by postal note, money order, or registered letter.
