Governor Taylor of Tennessee has appointed Miss Nellie Ely on his staff with the rank of Colonel. This, says a contem porary, is simply following the example of Governor Atkinson of Gorgia, who announced at the Nashville Exposition the other r*ay that Taylor was going to do it. Goldsmith's 3Tony Lumpton ought to be alive to-day ; he might find his aunt a Justice of the Peace, since the girls are getting to be colonels. Little Miss Hunnewell, aged three, at Newport, Rhode Island, U.S., America, swallowed a chain bracelet set with diamonds and rubies, the other day. The little tot's Story was disbelieved, and it was thought that the nurse had stolen it, till the X-rays confirmed the story, and the bracelet was removed. The little girl seemed no worse for having been lined with jewels for a time.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per oommunica tiou made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. Then are imitations of Eucalypti Extract In the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not he taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per Information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we i tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clmics of tha Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other eubataucos, adherent to primary distillation, will deveiope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Huealypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, whish •re abandoned lonpr since as an internal udtoamenr. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extract*, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odonr— which our produce, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presenoe of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con equences are most appalling.

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 pwterns, 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 Littn, 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. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Aunie (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 champs upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.8.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, NTZ.S.B.) He was got by the great Sir WalterSeott, Whose breeding needs jaocomnient. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is m 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 and favorably known, to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, «he has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; amoDg the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped Mac 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, King of Quality as a yearling gained first prise at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, jttod as a tbree-year-*>ld first at Taieri and MCoad 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 <aame for himself as a sire.
