On his return he cold his persecutors *.hafc they might take the horse if they pleased. He had shot it dead with his revolver. There are enough Germans m ihe Kimber ley Town Guard to form a Teutonic corps, thus showing that the subjects of Kaiser Wil holm m the Cape Colony are not by any means opposed to her Majesty's Government.

THE ELECTIONS.

Mr Harper at Mount Somers

Mr Harper addressed a moetina of s-bout fifty electors m the schoolroom, Mount Somers, ou Wednesday evening la»t. Mr J, W. Tait, chairman of the School Com mittee, occupied the chair, and bespoke for Mr Harper a patient hearing, referring at the same time to the candidate's services on various local bodies. Mr Harper, who was received with applause, announced himself as opposed to the present Government ; ab the same time he admitted that it had done good work, buthe thoughb the people wanted a change. He claimed that Mr Rolleston ought to have the honour of initiating the present land laws of the colony. In speak ing of the Land for Settlement Act, he thought the people should have a right to buy their farms, subject) to some restrictions, and that the money thus paid should be placed m a spfeoial fund to *be used to redeem loans m the future. He condemned }ihe treatment) Canterbury had received compared with other provinces m the allo cation of funds for Public Works, laying special stress on the Premier's electorate. He praised Mr Cadman'a administration as Minister of Railways, but hoped that some improvements would be made m regard to fares, and m making second-class carriages more comfortable. Mr Harper then referred |io the Legislative Council, and he oon demned the system of appointments to that chamber, expressing himself favourable (o ac elpotive Upper House. In' speaking of fihe Old Age Pensions, he said he would lik^' to see the principle applied universally, and so remove the stigma of poverty. After touching brie fly on education and the elec tion of members of the Boards of Education, he went on to speak m favor of a penny post for the colony. Federation, the cap didate remarked, was an important question, and he advised the people to study it carer fully, especially m reference to its effect on j our markets. He condemned the attitude of the Government; m regard to taxation, and remarked that if the Colonial Treasurer had such large surpluses, the duties on the necessaries of Ufa should bo reduced. In hia dosing remarkß, Mr Harper appealed to the electors for their support as one of themselves. He had been a farmer for many years, and knew the wants of the district), and, if elected, would do his best for hia constituents. Mr J. Hood proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Harper for his interesting address. This Mr McClifliont secon.led, and it was carried with acclamation. A similar compliment to the chairman brought a most orderley meet ing to a close.

Present—Messrs Cox (chairman), L J Hobbs, D McDonnell, R Clark, R G iShearman, and R M Cuthbert son. It was decided to alter the date of the carnival from Saturday to Monday, Decem- j ber 18, ihe tradespeople agreeing to close that day, and given a fine day ihe tp >rts ought to be a great success. A permit was received from tha Secretary of the N.Z.A. A.

Kntneß tor the various bicycle races, etc , will close on Friday, December 8, at 9 30 p m« As Otuebs See Us—Tho?e who remember tho visit of Dr Abbott, some months ago, Will be interested to loam that on his return to his own district, North Cambridge, Mass.; U.S. A., m September last, he was greeted by a great demonstration. Ilia parishioners mustered m fotca to welome the rev. gentleman and Mr-s Abbott, and ho gave an interesting accouat of his travels during the ten months he had been awjiy, giving his impressions of New Zealand. Dr Abbott uaici, inter alia, that " things m JN'ew Zealand were sh&piug themselves toward a new Government, and that m general there was much to draw out the higb.est commendation for the progress being shown, and the desire and purpose every where evident to stop nothing short cf the best modern attainments m public and private life. The Children's Wages Act—Employers do not appear 10 be f Jtniiiar with the pro v.sions of she Employment of Boys and Girls Without Payment Prevention Act, 1833, which camainto forca on tho 21st ult. This measure, which is a short one, of one opera tive clause, stipulates that no boy or girl un- j dtr eighteen jears of age shall be employed without remuueration. The minimum wage at which hands under eighteen may be en gaged is, m the case of boys 5j and girls 4s : per week. Should the wa^es not be paid within fourteen days of the time when due, the employer becomes liable to a penalty not ; exceeding five shillings for every day there- ' after duiing which such default continues. All establishments which come under the Factories Act ere subject to tho provisious of the Bill, The War Correspondent—The follow ing paragraph written some yeara ago by tho veteran wa,r eanespondsiifc, Archibild Forbes, will serve to remind the publ-c iha if the c.vblu news from the seat of war is not always as consistent, as accurate, or a3 full as could be doeirei, tho responsibility ioea not wholly re»t with tho newspapers or their correspondents!— "In all future Kuropoan wars," ivroto Foro.s, "by on international arrvngement the baud of the censor will lie heavily on the war correspon dent. He will be a mere transmitter by strictly defit-ed channels of carefully revised intelligence liable to be altered, falsified, caucsi ed, or detained, at the discretion of llie official tai m i-u'horiiy over him. I an. far from objecting to the changed conditions m tho capacity of a citizsu of a nation which may hi Yd tho wisdom to prefer victories to news. The point I desiro to emphasise is simply this, that the new order of things has taken war correspondence cub of the category of the fine arts." A Rhodes Estate m London—lt will come as a surprise to many people to hear that there is a Rhodes Estate m the East end of London. Such is the fac*i, however. A good deal of the land m and around Forest road and Dalston Junction be onga to Mr Rhodes, and though his great interests m Africa absorb the main part of his atten tion, they are not allowed to exclude the much more limited property at Dayton, and the people who live upon it, altogether from his thoughts. Some six or seven years ago, Bays the London Argus, the members of the Rhodes family bethought them of doing something to relieve the dullness of the winter evenings for the working men resid ing m and about Forest road. A social club was first tried. It was decided to convert a publichouse to the purposes of a club as soon as the lease fell m. Accord ingly the phce was fitted up m due time, and books, writing materials, and games were provided. But the woikmen failed to come as freely as they were expected ; so Major Rhodes said, m effect, " Let us have done with the working-men—they can join other clubs elsewhere fer a few ponce a week—we'll try, instead to do something for the boys"—and straightway the place j was made a club for boys, and became a | success from the very atart. The M&j >r erected at hie own expense a gymnasium, Btted it up m the most approved style, and selected Sergeant Young, of the 49.h Royal Berkshire Regiment, to manage the iustil. lution for him, Important discoveries of Gold are no doubt of great value to society, especially at a time like the present, when the money maiketis so tight and poverty so distress ing. Still, however, there are some things m this world far more precious than gold, m spite of the immense infuonca it weilds over mankind. Health, for instance, can not be purchased for money, bat it may be preserved and secured by the use of Hollo way's Pills. No family should be without them, a3 they are equally good m their effects for either old or young. No com plaint can for long withstand their healing power. They drive out all impurities from I the bloocj. strengthen the digestive organs, and cleanse the stomach*
