OUR EXCHANGES.

THE DIVISIBILITT OF WEALTH. i Writing in the "New Review" on "The Divisibility of Wealth," Mr W. H. Mallock points out how to avoid the dangers which must follow reckless social legislation. It is necessary to consider first the amount and character of the wealth of the country, and, secondly, the causes to which its production has been due. The following is his droll estimate of an individual's share in the divisible elements of the capital of tha United Kingdom :—" Supposing, then, all these things co be divided, let us see what the capital would look like which would be allotted to each individual. Each indivi dual would find himself possessed of ■ a lodging of som« sort, together with clothes and furniture, wotth about £8. He would hare about £8 worth of pro yisions and miscellaneous movables, and a Ting, a pin, or a biooch, worth about £3 10a. He would also be proprietor of one acre of land, which would necessarily in many cases be miles away from his dwelling, whilst as £o stocking his acre he would be met with the I'following difficulty: —He would find himself entitled to the twentieth p»rt of » horse, to two-thirds or a sheep, the fourth part of a cow, and the tenth part; of a pig. THE BEST THING I'OR CREDITORS. A vary peculiar bankruptcy case came i before his Honor Mr Justice Ward at Dunedin this week, when the public ex amination of James Piokworth, labourer, of. Palmeraton, was taken. The examina- IJcin.wM taken in the Supreme Court

pursuant to a resolution of creditors. Under examination the debtor admitted that when he had nearly enough cash to pay his creditors in full and propertyithat would have left a small surplus he. left the district to try and get work, and; as serted that he did this for the benefit of his creditors. The result was the 'Use less expenditure of £14. After this and I when able to pay nearly 10s in the pound, he offered 5s in the pound ; and 10s being asked —time being offered for the second instalment of 6s in the pound—he : de clined to arrange with his creditors, but spent £1110s in legal expenses, which, with the money subsequently found in his possession and at his home, would have paid more than 12s 6d in the pound. The debtor asserted that he had tried to do the best for his creditors, and drew from his Honor the retort that ** the best thing one can do for his creditors is to pay them." At the close of the examina tion it was found that a full reoord of the evidence had not been taken by the registrar, to have done which without employing shorthand was quite impractic able, and so the examination was not closed, but simply adjourned. In the meantime it is probable that other pro ceedings under the act will be instituted against the bankrupt. ■ ! j AN EFFECTUAL RAISER. : j A man went to a doctor in one of the Wairarapa townships, and besought that he might be admitted to the local hospital, because he was suffering from a serious affection of the back, and was, wholly unable to work, or to pay for j medical attendance. The man was ad mitted on the recommendation of the doctor. Having got comfortably settled, he grew confidential, and remarked to one. of his fellow-patientsf that he had played the same game in Wellington, where he had passed a pleasant month in the Wellington Hospital. He meant now to put in another month in the Wairarapa Hospital, and would then perhaps go on to the hospital at W&ipawa, or he might even go on to the Napier 'hospital. By some means the man's confidential state ments reached the ears of the lccal medico on whose recommendation he had been admitted. The doctor swore to have his revenge. Proceeding to the hospital, he examined the back of the sham patient, and declared that there was some internal complaint, and that there was no remedy so efficacious as a fly-blister! The patient had to submit; the blister was applied from shoulder to hip, and it " rose " splendidly. As soon as ever the water had been let out of that blister the patient departed in a hurry, though his back was still raw from the blister. He fewed that the cruel doctor might as his next experiment try something even more painful than a fly-blister.— " Even ing Press."

THE HOME RULE BILL. >

London, May 31, In the House of Commons on Wednesday, in committee on the Home Rule Bill, Viscount Wolmer, M.P. for Edinburgh West, proposed amendments to prohibit the Irish Parliament discussing subjects on which it was forbiddden to legislate. Mr Gladstone, speaking to the amend ment thought it would not be wise to adopt such a course, and even if carried it would be impossible to. enforce it. At all events they would be unable to do so without the right of. petition. He pointed out that the Sydney Council, before the introduction of Parliamentary Government, sent a petition to abolish the duty on Aus tralian corn, and surely they would j not refusethe Irish the same privileges. The amendment was rejected by 21. The " Time* " referring to the reduced majority, says it proves the Liberals are recoiling from the results of blind submission to Mr Gladstone.

SUPREME COURT.

WELUNGTOWi Juneli Samuel Hill and William McCarthy were found guilty of assault and robbery at Palmers ton North and sentenced to two years'hard labor. Counsel for Hill called several witnesses, who stated that until about eighteen months ago Hill's general behavior was most exemplary, but since that time he had associated with evil companions who proved his ruin. His parents were highly respectable people. Of late he had devoted considerable time to prise fighting, and this was the real cause of his downfall. In sentencing the prisoner, Justice .Richmond referred in scathing terms to the conduct of Hill, who had been guilty of cowardly and brutal assault. In some instances fair play was the redeeming feature of prize fighters, but - Hill seemed to be lost to all sense of manly instinct, and a more cowardly business he had seldom heard off,

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, produces of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken Our Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to he of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to ns through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state: — It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at. Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acidi, resinous and. other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Bander and Sons*' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Molntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific testa, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used a« medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used, for mechanical purposes only are discernible: 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance,: being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannatee. If these crude oils, or so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and reliable .preparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. -Hander and Sons The Onslow Biscuit.
