ITolloway's Pills. — Important for the delicate. It is difficult to determine which is the most trying to the human constitu- tion, the damp, cold days of autumn and winter, or the keen, dry, easterly winds of spring. Throughout the seasons good health may be maintained by occasional doses of Holloway's Pills, which purify the blood and act as wholesome stimulants to the skin, stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys. This celebrated medicine needs but a fa-ir trial to convince the ailing and desponding that it will restore and cheer them without danger, pain, or iooon- veaience. No family should be without a supply of Holloway'a Pills and Oin ment, as by a timely recourse to them the first erring function may be reclaimed, suffeiing may be spared and life saved.



MRS YATES AGAIN. The Auokland correspondent of the Qtago Daily Times says :— The animated meetings which were wont to occur at Onehunga during the famous regime of the lady mayor of that town were brought to mind again by the at a publio meetirg of ratepayers m the Publio Hall at Onehunga. The meeting was convened by Dr W. B. O. Erson, Mayor of the Borough of Onehunga, to consider important questions conneoted with the Onehunga waterworks and the con- solidation of loans. As mayor he was about to open the proceedings, when considerable amusement was caused by a wordy en- counter betweon his Worship and Mrs Elizabeth Yates, formerly Mayor of the borough. Mrs Yates appeared on the scene attired m a stylish kharkee costume, with a business-like air and a bundle of imposing' looking documents. She was about to mount the platform with her husband, Captain Miohael Yateß, when Dr Eraon in* terposed and said, "You oan't come up here." Mrs Yates retorted, " Everyone who is going to apeak at this meeting has a perfeot right to that platform." Captain Yateß, who loomed large over his wife's shoulder, chimed m with, "Yes: we've gob a perfeot right to go on the platform ; every* one who comes here has a right to go and lib up there." Dr Ersen said, "I am chairman here, and I am going to oonduot this meet- ing m my own way. You oan't come on to the platform." "Oh, but I'm going up there," said Mrs Yates with an air of deter* initiation. "And I'm going too," eohoed Captain Yatei. Mrß Yates, papers m one hand and a parasol m the other, mounted the steps leading to the stage, closely fol- lowed by the captain, but at the top of the steps she waß met by Councillor Rowe, who. with a aad lack of gallantry due to the fair ex mayor, caught hold of her to push her back, saying, "You oan't come up here, Mrs Yates." "Yes, I oan," returned the lady, " and lam going to Bit there, too." "So am I," said the captain, as he supported hii better-half from the rear. Mrs Yates, by force of arms, pushed the ungallant coun- cillor away, got past him and took a seat on the left-hand side of the mayor with an air of triumph, amidat great laughter and ap- plause from the audience. "I was too strong for him," she said with a glance to- wards the dieoomfifced councillor who had rashly attempted to bar her way. Mri Yates moved an amendment traversing the mayor's action, and Captain Ya*ea seconded hia wife's proposal, but after a wordy battle royal with the mayor, m which Mrs Yates and Captain Yites seconded hia wife's pro- posal, but after a wordy battle royal with the mayor, m which Mrs Yates and Captain Yates, were warmly engaged, the amend- ment was rejected by a large majority, and the original motion was carried.
