GORED BY A BULL.

PLUCK V CUD OT OF A BOY.

The Taranaki Herald, of the 17th, pub -1 ahes the following striking Instance of pluck on the part of a mere lad named Alfred Wade, at Maogorei ;—On Monday morning Mr Wad« went to shift a bud. which was tathered by a chain on the hi!i side near the Louse, t n Mr Wade ap proaching, the animal showed signs of being very much infuriated, and dashed madly at him. Mr Wade quickly stepped back so as to get beyond the length of of the tether, hot as the chain, was fat tened to the bull’s horns it snapped with a tremendous jark, and Mr Wade was in an instant in the bull’s power. I' caught him on the side, tossed him many feet in the air—the eon says nearly as high as the house, which Is more than twelve feet caught him again nrd lluog him some distance down the hill side. The animal was about to follow

up its attack when Alfred Wade who is

fifteen years of age, and who was a witness of the terrible scene, hastened without an hesitation towards the maddened beast with the intention of rendering assistance Mr Wade, who though suffering from almost mortal injury was yet completely conscious, warned his son “ for Geiven'e sake not to venture to comefuear or the bull would kill him.” Undeterred by this reminder of the danger he was incurring young Wade come to hie father’s side and boldly faced the bull, when itha animal, seemingly amazsd at the youth’s audacity stopped short for a moment or two. In thoiueantlme Mrs Wade bad been alarmed by he» lit t'G daughter, who ran into the hotiao and cried nut, “The bull has killed father." Mrsi Wadej hurried outside to ascertain what had happened, and saw her husband lying on the ground apparently dead, and her intrepid son standing Sy bis side iaci-g the assailant, which seemed tu.li nndtei ed what n<-x - to do. Mrs Wade was la abou to rush to her stricken husband, wieu A 1 red called to her, “Keep back, mother; keep back.” Mrs Wade cried out asking what she should do. The •• d replied that she was to get a rope aud give It to his little eLter to brine oil .. Mrs W»ic did «r, and p ovh g that bravery Is nit confined to one men>- be ■ of ’.he family, tho little girl boldly advaac« d to her brother with the rope.

tred then, with ths Utmost cordites'* and at -tidiness, walked towards the bull o aid ire end of toe chain that wa to its horns. He then essayed to lead he brute away, and, asoundtng to relate, the animat became at once a tbdued by the -. lucky and o-mmatiding attitude assumed byth* toy. It, however, storied and tro.tid n und the bd once or twice, do ing which time the boy w>b in ternHc suspense, no kno wing whether the bull would turn on hl i . Fo tunately, by his presence of mind and intrepid conduct he overawed the brute, which then quietly submitted to beiug ted ; and on complet ing this part of bia task, young Wade went to a neighbor’s?.fiT assistance, and afterwards galloped into town for Dr Leatham.

a Ifred Wade’o conduct has such a manly and heroic ring am m it that it must ex cite everybody’s admiration. Even Mr Wade himself', who is hovering between life and death, forgets his own pain and his own critical condition, and dilates upon the heroism and bravery of his son. A Royal Humane Society’s medal can not re ward such an action as that of this Tara naki lac 4 , fcr such eelf-sacrific ng devotion an I bravery are above all reward. Bat the official recognition of bravery should certainly be « xtend-d ro the hero of Ur’s episode, for if it fal s short of sufficiently honoring him it w ii at all events publish his rctio > far and wide for the emulation of other colonial youths. Dr Leathern wacr out ;h f s morning to see Mr Wade, who, although still not out of danger, is progressing it is to be hoped In that direction.

DECAY OF MR GLADSTONE.

The Pall Mall Budget wr tea as follows of the decadence of Mr Gladstone. There is no one who rallies more rapidly that, the Liberal chief, and it may be, like a second Wycliffe, he may couf.>aud there wto are gioating round what th-y believe to he his po-itioal bier. Hut the chances are heavily against him. ITe has failed, and is still failing. _ His excursion to the Bavarian highlands did not arrest the inroads wh’ch weariness and old age have made rn a physical frame marvellous for its nervous energy and force. Mr Glad s one Ih r-’o longer the man that ho was, a d those who kn w aud love him best gorronfully admit that his Increasing years and ihe infirmities which they bring in their train render it. impossible for us to as » again that marvellous exhibition of strength, vigor, and endurance which en abled tnm nice and agam from the plat form of Mdlothian to sweep 'he enemy from the field. Hu is with ue still, as Mr Bri.-ht is with ua ; hut like Moses, he will henceforth lemain on th' heights, while Mr M«r)ey, as Joshua, the son of Nun contend wlih 'he children of Amalek in the Y.J’ey Nev't again will he gc forth at the head of the Liberal hosts conquering and *o conquer, Inspiring more awe in the ranks of the enemy by his presence ah ne than was excited by all the embattled hosts whom he led Into the field t-ocb at least is the conviction that has bun deepened by the course of this SiSlb. n. Elis lest speech was woefully Q'jwoithy of him ; it was almost a eariciture f his style, and displayed neither the cott'ge. tl e v vac y nor tit skill which made him the Lancelot of our Table Round. There was ingenuity and special pleading, as the d : egs remain after the spirit evaporates. In the wordy warfare of the recass Mr Gladstone will take little part. b>is work is in the past. Whi-t ’hat means, men cannot at present fully reaMse. ft is as if a volcano long in continnal violent eruption bad become extinci. Nor will any occasional outburst' in the future do more to remind men of the constant fiery force which was, and is not.

Certainly the most effective Medicine in the world is SANDER and SONS’ EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. Test its eminent powerful effects in Coughs, Colds, Influenza, d-c.; the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. Bead this Certificate: — “ 24th April, 1885. Messrs Bander and Sons, —It is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Eucalypti Extract. Having had in flammation on the bone of the leg, which Came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made Btrenuous efforts to save my leg, but withdh Bucoess. He then found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having hear*} in the pie.utime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, Bnd the Extract had not been applied more than an hour when 1 began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the Extract ev<ry lour hours for nine or ten days I was out of all danger. I would persuade all who may be affected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, aml I am convinced that they will find it the most wonderful of medicines.—Yours, &0.. E.

A Rattlesnake’s Bite. —The quick venom the rattlesnake has not killed so many people as the more insidious but deadly poisons found in the air of foul rooms. The aeration of the blood by the lungs becomes impossible sometimes, and the failing health, growing weakness, and loss of appetite are harbingers af approaching death. For such cases Hop Bitters are the potent and all powerful remedy to drive all fevers out of the system, purifying the blood, and giving a new and happy lease of life.

Listen to your Wife



The Manchester Guardian, June Bih, 1883 says :



At one of the “ Windows ” Looking on tiie woodland way’s ! With clumps of rhododendrons and great masses of May blossoms !! ! “ There was an interesting group.” It inch ded one who had been a ‘‘ Cotton spinner,” but was now so Paralysed ! !! That he could only bear to lie iu a reclining position. This refers to my case. I was first attacked twelve years ago with “ Looomoter Ataxy ”



(A paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever



cured) and was for several years barely ab’e to get about. And for the last five years not able to atten i to my business, although Many things have been done for me. The last experiment being nerve stretching. Two years ago I was voted into the Home for Incurables ! ne-tr Manchester, in May, 1882. I am no “ Advocate ” ; “For anything in the shape of patent ” Medicines ? And made many objections to my dear wife’s constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally to pacify her— Consented!!



I had not quite finished the first bottle when I felt a change come over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd. On Sunday morning I felt sj strong I said to my room companions, “ 1 was sure I could “ Walk 1”



So started across tho floor and back I hardly knew how to contain myself I was all over the house. I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without any “ Stick 1” Or Support.



I am now at my own house, and hope soon to be able to earn my own living again. I have been a member of the Manchester



“Eoyal Exchange ”



For nearly thirty years, and was moat heartily congratulated on going in the room on Thursday last. Very gratefully yours, John Blackburn. Manchester, (Eng.) Deo. 24th, 1883. Two years later am perfectly well.

No brushing scrubbing, or any pain'ul hand rubbing is necessary, and the slightest effort is sufficient to turn the handle—a child ten years of age being able to easily work it No Copper or Boiler required, the whole process of washing being done in Machine at same time. The Machine undoubtedly supplies the best means of disinfecting the clothes which come in contact with contagious diseases, no germs of infection being able to survive ten minutes immersion in the steam.
