The Sacred College.

,—^___ The Romans have a popular tradition which, curiosly enough, is of fen con firmed by factp, that when a member of the Sacred Oollege dies two of hie colleagues quickly follow him. At a few days' distarce two cardinals, Bausa, Archbishop of Florence, and Kremenfz, Archbishop of Oologno, have departed this life, and now good Romans are quite m a flutter of ex pectation, speculating with cheerful resignation as to which Torpor, ato will be the third. Apropos of the death of cardinals, it is a curious fact that the most likely candidates to the tiara, such as the late Monaco la Valletta, Gaiimberti, Di Rende, San felicpj appear to have been specially singled out by death during the pbnti ficate of Leo XIII., no fewer than 124 cardinals having died during the 21 years of bis reign. Indeed, only four of the cardinals created by Pius IX. survive, and should they precede the aged Pontiff into tho tomb, Leo Xfll | will be able to say tnhis cardinals, as Urban VEIL did : Ifonvos eiegitis me, sed ego elegi vos." (It is not you who choose me, hut I who choosa you) There are now sixteen vacancies m the Sacred College.

SAINDIQt* He »ons Kluca lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of Bis Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion 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 Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extraot m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, aa per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2,1878, we tate :— It is proved by testa by the Medical Clinic of the Univereities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Ciinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.id freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the j sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraots | are to bo classed according to the named ' authorities, among the turpenoinee, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called [ Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— i which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most) freely j through its surplus oxygen. j I By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear j ance being reduced m speoifio density through tae presence at acids. By their tas to, the result of the oontraoting tendency of reaine and tenna'ei, if these crude oils, so-calh d eucalypti extract*, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationa, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety ake ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS.



Tho rise m the price of wool and the firm atate of the London market will mean in creasing returns of many thousands of poandp for the farmers of Canterbury alone Urn year.

Messrs Okaighead & Berryman of this town, how ever, with their usual fores,i»hb, took time by the forelock, and cabled Home direct early m May for a large shipir.ent of the most fashionable Suitings for the opproaching SpriDg Beacon. They also secured large parcels from the principal New Zea'and mills just before the rise, aDtl will give their customers the fuU benefit of their timely contracts. Mkssrs Craiohead and Berry man invite an early inspection of iheir New Goods. Their leading line cf Mei'd Suifs to measure for £3 10§, made up m their well known atyle and fit, should convince the most sceptical of their sterling values " Stop Fmokino," said a Boston doctor to an ailing pati* nt the other day, "and ib will lengthen your days."
