Wellington, Decambar 2. I OTAGO CENTRAL BILL. I A good deal of trouble i 3 beiDg experienced I by Messrs Pyke, Scobie MoKenzie, and others . m getting the Otago Central Eailway Bill up . again, einoe it was praotioally stonewalled by Mesßrs Seddon and others m going into Committee. Government, however, has un dertaken to give facility for bringing the Bill up. LOCAL BODIES LOANS. At the instance of Mr Scobie McKenzie Government have embodied m the Govern ment Loans to Local Bodies Amendment Bill • clause which will aid 3mall boroughs to combine if it is desired with counties for carrying out sanitary or water supply works. THE FINANCIAL DEBATE. The Financial debate, which came m like ft Hod, and has gone out like a lamb, or something even more harmless, is still m the minds of some members, who had speeches bottled up for the occasion. Mr Seddon was generally supposed to be included m the cate gory, and not wishing to be thwarted m his desire, he haß factitiously notified his intqn tention of asking the Premier " If he will, before the prorogation of Parliament, fix a day upon which the debate on Financial pro posals may be resumed. PUSHING THROUGH, Government have now thoroughly made up their minds to get through by Christmas, and the Premier is reported to have inti mated privately that if peoessary they will pit morning, noon, and night to do so. Diok Seddon enquired when the Public Works Statement will be down, and a laugh was raised by the return of the Premier, " That will depend on the facilities given by hon gentlemen getting on with the business." This was " agin " the member for Eumara, who joined m the laugh at his own expense. ATJTOCBATIC BABBIT INBPKCTOB3. Ever since the Babbit Act came m force there have been many complaints as to the almost unlimited power given to Inspectors under the Act. With regard to this Mr Pyke haß a question tabled for Tuesday, viz., whether Government will take into considera tion the advisability of amending the Babbit Act, co as to invest magistrates hearing oases laid under such Act for breaches of its pro visions with discretionary powers when deal ing therewith. Mr Pyke informs me that he knows of several cases where, notwithstand ing that station holders bring witnesses to prove precautions had been taken to prevent the spread of the pest, the magistrates were obliged, under the Act, to accept the Inspec tor's unsupported opinion to the contrary, &nd convict thereon. SCAB PEST. The prosecution the other day of a station manager iv the Marlborough district, for having concealed the existence of an out break of soab, was the cause of the following question by Mr Lance*? Whetherthe attention , of Government has been directed to the caea ; tried at Blenheim m respect to the manager o! several stations said to have concealed for some months the existence of soab, and whether full enquiry will be made and infor mation offered to the House thereon. BBIEF MENTION. The Waste Lands Committee have not completed their work m oonneotion the Lands Bill, It is not intended by Government to allow married women to take up a section m speoial settlements. So amount will be placed on the Public Works Estimates for roads north of Auckland. There was another debate on the Midland Railway question to-day. Mr Izard is endeavoring to have the de livery of oral evidence as to obscenity done away with m our courts.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Colds Coughs, Shortness of Breath.— These maladies require early and unremitting attention, for if neglected they often end m asthma, bron chitis, or consumption. The ointment well nibbed upon tbe chests and back, penetrating the Bkin, is absorbed and oarried directly to the longs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood m the body is perpetually pass ing through the lungs, and there all noxious particles tending to disease can be quickly, ' thoroughly, and permanently neutralised, rendered harmless, or ejected from the system. Holloway's Ointment and Pills per fectly accomplishes this purification ; and through the blood thus cleased, the influence of these wonderful medioamens reaches the remotest parts of the human body, and thus cures all diseased action, whether internal or external. We clip the following important testimonial from the " Ulawarra Mercurry " (N.8.W.) on the 30th March. It needs no comment:— *• Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after suffering tot four years with acute grave), he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract. He says seeing the eaid Extract advertised m the ' Ulawarra flfercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hoskingj chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once, ge st&tes that belween the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bpttle of the extract, and on the 19th, the use of that medicine continued Jjp afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract a cure for rheumatism as -well as gravel. He requests ns to publish this information through, Jhe • Mercury. 1 We have much pleasure in' complying with Mr Loveday 's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and *fho can have no object m view other than a pure desire to. benefit suffering humanity."
