Plans for a sew steamer to replace the ffaainaim were aeut home some weeks a£o, ! nut it iB understood that the eonatruoiton of the vesa.il will not be undertaken until the eogineers' difficulty at Home is settled. The "North Ufcago Times'' Btaten that a fine s&lmou was taken in'the net of Mr Cross on Wednesday outside the mole, and imme diately put back into the sea.

SANIDJEK Jc tsuma Euca lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, si per communica tion made by .the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Oonsul-Geueral Fop I'a'y, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878- Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Giobe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In' order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\PTI EXTRACT,, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2. 1878, we ; tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulss, Professor Of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Climes at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Ail crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned lonjr since as an ntemal udioament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, ate discernible: 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. g By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. S By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationa, dysentery, etc., the con eauenceu are most appalling.
