clirentlvin harmony with the people. Brttfie monarchy is likely, to survjre these changes. It. abolition M not. within the area of poetical politics, nor wJ lit he so Ion" as those who have at heait its, continuance are wise in their generation. The monarchy has devoted adherents amongst the upper classes on account of its social aspect; the middle clasps like « because they have a notion that it is respectable ; the artisans and the agm»l tural labourers have grievances that touch them mere closely, and a chanee in monarchy to a republic would not w directly benefit them as the- ten ov,l of these Grievances. At Radical gathering, St° I have never observed any ardent desire to sin" "God Save the Queen, I tvenver heard any de»re «P^J? substitute a republic for our present system. Were a Parliamentary candidate to address an electoral. meetinß on.the, advantages of a republic, he would be deemed a tilter at a wmdmil, and he would be requested to favour his hearers . with his views upon more practical and more immediate issues.

A Terauka man mimed Gresson who has been accustomed to catch his horse by the tail, has done so once too often to please the horse. A. few days ago, the horse reseated the practice by using I is lie^lp, inflicting a nasty wound on the mint's forehead. Two serious fires occurred in Ohnstehurch on Thursday ni^):t. One was i ■ 1 a ten roomed homo in C>>'.]c; Xircof. h«l 1 in trust by the executors of lite Mis H. J. Raphael for the family, by some members of which it was occupied. One of the young men was awakened at about 11.25 by a strong smell of fire, got up, and gave the alarm. The house was full of smoke, and it was with difficulty that the female members of the family were rescued. The servant girl, Jane Blackmore, was only got out of the burning house by the plucky efforts of two young men who came upon the scene, but not until she had been bo badly burned that Dr Overden despaired of her recovery. A subsequent telegram informs us that the girl has since died. The fire brigade got the flames suffi ciently under control to prevent the fire from spreading, but the house was almost totally destroyed, and such effects as were saved suffered greatly from the water. The building and contents were insured for £1030 in the Union and Standard Offices, j While the brigade was employed at the CasheS street tire, another broke out at Lin wood in Mr George Collier s soda water factory. A detachment of the brigade with the chemical engine went off to the scene, but it was found to be impossible to save the building, which was destroyed with all the machinery and plant. The stock and plant were not insured, but the house was covered to the extent of £200 in the Union Office. In neither case is the origin of the Sre known.

Hollo way's Pills.—Nervous irritability —No part of the human machine requires more constant supervision than the nervous system—for upon it our health—and even life—depends. These pills strengthen the nerves, and are the safest general purifiers of the blood. Nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yield to them. They dispatch in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic pains, fullness at the pit of the stomach, ab dominal distension, and regulate alike capricious appetites and confined bowls— 1 the commonly accompanying signs of defective or diminished nerve tone. Hollo way's pills are particularly reconi menended to persons of studious and sedentary habits and irritable state, unless some such restorative be occasionally takenJ The world is ever moving on towards perfection, but seldom attains it. Constant improvement is being made in every branch of industry, but in Baking Powders Perfection has been reached in Warburton's Oan't Be Beat.
