In iiscnssing tho political situation in JNew Z^al.-ti'd, the >■ ii tralian Review

of Reviews remarks that tbe Seddon Government sits in

office a shade lew securely than of old. Ministers have adroitly weathered hitherto the stormc raised over the J. G. Ward financing, the Bank revelations, and the indis creet—to use no harsher term —connec tion between individual Ministers and companies, more or less expectant of State favors. During tbe Budget de bate the waves of discontent ran higher, and the Government craft labored ominously. Mr Kolleston'g amendment, condemning the practice of Ministers holding positions upon such syndicates or companies was plainly levelled at the Premier and Mr John McKenzie, Minister of Lands. Mr Seddon is "ad viser ' to the Anglo - Continental Mining Syndicate; his colleague is on the advisory board of the Colonial Consignment and Distributing Com*

pany. Mr Rolleaton, though not official leader of the Opposition, is an old ex-Minister, and carries great weight. Members rallied to his side, and the defection of four quasi-sup parters of the Government left the Seddon Ministry with a majority dwindled to a bare half dozen/ An impulse of virtuous indignation inclines ' Messrs Seddon and McKetizie to solemnly cast cut the four seceders from the Government fofd, but this can hardly mend matter?, for the Ministerial party is seamed and fissured in other directions. The solidarity of the past six or seven years has gonp, and very probably Mr Seddon himself discerns tbe writing on the wall.

FASHIONS IN FLOWERS.

i" Fashions in flowers " is the tubject of a very interesting study by the Hon.

Alicia Amherst in Longman's for Oct, She mentions the the rose and the

carnation as the flowers whose popu larity has never waverrd, and passes in review the " tulip fever " in the six teenth cpntur/, the rage for hyacinths which followed, and other manias down to the craze for orchids and chrysanthe mums One good story may be quoted: — Early in the century the famous nursery gardener Lee was walking ia Wupping. when he wns attracted by a flower unknown to him in the window of a small, dingy house. He went in and (fftjred to buy it, but the owner, an old woman, was loth to part with her treasure, as it had been given her by he." husband, who was a s»i or, and ii. w.-s not until tempted by the spin of eight guineas, and a promise of two Ijouiig plants, that tie gave it up. I Cuttings struck freely, and soon Lee [_was the _po£SOjsor of 3 0 plants, aud visitors to his nursery were 'charmed when they bf held for the first time the dainty hanging Moitoras of t c now f i miliar fuschia. Its succe s was rapid, and it soon became oi;e ef the chief ornaments in every greenhouse, while the more hardy varieties *eie freely planted oir of door?. When the fashion for fuscliias was at its height, entire conservatories were devoted to them.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—The most effectual cure for gout and rheumatism. —A frequent cause of these complaints is the inflammatory state of the blood, attended with bud digestion, lassitude -*nd great debility, showing tbe want of proper cir culation of the fluid, and any impurity of the blood greatly aggravates these disorders. Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doaes taken in time are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism, bus anyone who has an attack of either should use Holloway's Ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effects of the Pill', ensure a certain cure. The Ointment should be thoroughly rubbed into the parts affected at least twice a day after they havebeen sufficiently fomen ted with warm water to open the porss to facilitate the introduction of the Ointment to the glands. 5000 PAIRS ;of BOOTS AND SHOE 3 TO PICK FROM. i Try our new leathers.
