M. de Thierry, whose name indicates that beia either a Frenchman, or of French extraction, "P ERF IDE vindicates the ALBION." Mother country, in the pages of the JVew Review, against the charges of perfidy, rapacity, and selfishness so persistently brought against her by foreign critics. No nation, as he clearly shows, has been so zealous on behalf of oppressed races; has sub sidised foreign powers so generously ; or has benefited so little by the fruits of the victories it has helped to win, as Great Britain. The sacrifices she made in her heroic struggle with Napoleon were enorraou«—it cost her 1,900,000 lives, and £1,250,000,000.in money, and she gained, p actically,no territory by the Treaty of Paris. " She ■was in a position to get anything she chose to ask, and she a-k^d nothing " ; while all the French colonies enptured by her during the war, were restored to France at its close. "Yet the French, though they have profited thus by England's generosity, are ever the first to accuse her of selfishness and perfidy. Suppose the conditions re varied," observer M. de Thierry, "would France have treated Great Britain ia the same magnanimous spirit? She gave back Cuba and the Philippines to spain ; Java, Celebes, the Moluccas, and part of Sumatra to Holland ; she has at different times retroceded Tangier, Minorca, Corsica, the lonian Islands, and Ouracoa to their present owners ; she gave up to America the territory between the Ohio and the Mississippi, Washington Territory and part of Maine; she allowed the Orange Free State, the Transvaal, Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres to slip from her grasp; and ia her commercial relations with the world, England is liberal to foolish ness." Half the present area of the British E npire is the result of peaceful occupation since 1815; and, adds M. de Thierry, "Never has race worked out its own political and social salva tion so completely as the Anglo-Saxon has done, and never has race used its opportunities for promoting peace and goodwill among the nations ta such noble, pa ?POS(7". lIIIII|M .__—^__,m—. ■

Ihe vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in cash for the rights acquired by him, the whole interest in, and the title to which are handed over to the Company. It is proposed by the promoters of this Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Spficific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which is increasing daily, will realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can be safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again in Spring. The stem and main branches may ba safely dressed at any period of the year. One good dressing will "be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re quire further dressing for years. For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlih Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelband's Patent Blight Specific will be found amo3t effectual remedy. It will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wood, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit. The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Corllia Moth, increasing the growth and keepicg the tree in a f refeh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable cost. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it is gratifying to be able fco nereiu add the very satisfactory reports of the ex ceedingly severe tests to which the Specific has been subjected. 1 be specific being manufactured under the care and supervision of the patentee can be sold at the small cost of 10s per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit.

These crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our produce, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygeu, 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear aotse beiDg reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 5 By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.

Stud Notices. THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westerfield and Ashburton Forks Districts. Will be at Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. ii). . Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin in 1894 and j 1895, for horse with three of hia progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her site was Ivanhoe 2ud (299, SCS.B.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so well aud favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she haa taken 14 first priz-.s and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare ac the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has scamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, und as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire. Terms : £4 43; £2 2s at end of season, balance when mare proves in foal. Season mares, £3 3s. Groomage fee, ss. AH mares changing hands first owners held responsible.
