BACKING.

Clovtrnmeot jS'ote _enui», Mbibourne July 19 In giving evidence before the Bank ing Commission, Mr Turner, manager of the Commercial Bank, said the scheme put forward by the Ranking Conference provided that if the call upon coin was unusually great, th 3 bank could go to the Commissioners and obtain a percentage of notes on approved Government security. This would prevent the Bank's credit being injured through having to apply to others for, temporary assist ance and a* rert a crisis. The present note issue* cost the Victorian hanks £20.000 in note tax and £10,000 for the expense of issue. The Government would lose by abolishing the note tax, Its it would have to keep a reserve in gold to meet ordinary demands, and the interest on the remainder would not compensate for the expense. He calculated that, if the Government issued a million in treasury notes, it would lose £11,000 by the transaction He, however, agreed with the Queens land Treasurer that the object of a GoTernraent was not to make money, but to provide absolute security.

Etc.,

Lord Brassey.

London July 18 Mr Gillies, the Agent-Genßral for Victoria, presided at a farewell banquet to Lord Brassey. Sir W. B. Perceval was amongst those present. The gathering was of a most representative character, Lord Brassey, in replying to the toast of the evening, said an assemblage like the present snowed the desire that there was to maintain the unity of the empire. The greatest duty of colonial Governors was to foster every kindly feeling serving to bind the silken fetters of mutual pride and affection between the Mother Country and her daughter States. As one of the most active advocates of Imperial Federation, he could not, reconcile it with his sense of public duty to decline the post when it was offered to him. He regarded the position not as an empty sinecure, but as an opportunity for himself and his wife to co-operate in every effort for the advancement of the community in social happiness and the moral eleva tion of the people. They were going forth ready and eager for the work before them. He thanked Lord Hope toun, the former Governor, for the counsel and advice he had given them, and be was resolved to follow in his steps. Lord Ripon said he hoped that the colonies would maintain the Governors' salaries, and thus facilitate the selection of suitable men.

The Daily News remarks that Lord Brassey has learned the true meaning and uses of a Governor.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA Purifies, Vitalizes, Enriches the Blood; Gives New Life, Health and Vigour. Mr. Alfred C. Jolliffe, of Granville, So. Australia, whose portrait we give above, writes: "I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla in England for years before coming to Australia, At times 1 was much troubled with boils and oilier eruptions of the skin, caused, the doctors told me, by the running down of my rivstcm and general debility. Tho only medicine that has ever done me lasting good is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has always cured me—purifying my blood, and giving me new life and health and vigour." The wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of oUie> preparations called Sarsaparilla. Remember that imitation is the sincerost form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA which lias stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's great expositions, and has been a blessing to tbe people of Australia, and all civilized countries, for more than a generation. No other medicine operates so effectually in removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp toms of tbe grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.
