The Premier en "Silttaff."

Ppeaking at Greyroouth last week aft «gathering of marine engineer! the If on Mr Seddon said : <If we go back a few yean we notice the stride* thai have been made in dredging machinery* Take the old spoon dredge that frif tried on the Mo'yreox and compare il with the claw «f machine at work to* day, and you wilt note with pleasure that the engineers hare been at work. The New Zealand engineer! could claim * great deal with regard to dredge*. They are being copied all over the world, this fact speaking highly for the New Zealtnd engineer* skill. It would not be out of place to say how pleased he was to be »gain on the West Ooase. The people were as fine a lot of citizens rs could be found in any community. He bad heard with re gret, however, that gome mean people had taken to ♦ salting' dredging lenses. This be took a decided objection to, and said it was the duty of the Government the Press, and the public to stamp this sort of infamy from our midst ; and if tbe culprits could be brought to justice, then an example should be uade of them. There were always uncertain ties in mining, and he felt everyone present mcst sincerely regret that this cringe had occurred in onr midst. What was the use of engineers using their brains if a few unscrupulous people were allowed to cast a blot on us, so that the world at large can Blur our good name. His candid opinion was that the gentlemen present should be stir themselves to clear the slur from' our midst

Trade With South Africa.

A New Zealand Herald representa tive had a short conversation recently with Mr P De Villiere, a native of tbe Oapp, but resident for the past few yaars in New Zealar d, on the subject of trade between New Zealand and South Africa. This gentltmtn, who is in constant communication with friends in Capetown, gave it as his opinion that trade under present circumstances was practical y an impassibility. At. the present time there wat no direct communication to the Gape, and goods sent from this colony had to be tran shipped at one of the Australian port*. Owing to thiß, freights were extremely high, averaging about 25 per cent on | the value of the goods shipped. A i direct service, such as is now proposed by the Government, was undoubtedly uecessary. The difficulty to he con* fronted was in obtaining return car goes from South Africa, Numerous articles which are required at the Gape could be sent from New Zealand. Among these, Mr De Yillien mentioned grain, butter, frozen beef and mutton, fruits, cheese, bacon, and hams, and such other necessaries of life. He felt positive thftt a permanent trade for these articles could be opened up with South Africa with a line of direct steamers. The chief ports of call would naturally be Capetown, Mosset Bay, Fort Elizabeth, Natal, and Delagoa Bay, and from these centres it was possible that sundry odd goods could be obtained for a return cargo. No regular export could, however, he made from South Africa to New Zealand, and the fact remained that Bhip owners would have to make all their profit on the goods shipped from this colony. After the conclusion of the war, which he considered would still proceed for some time to come, Mr De Viiliere considered that these weald be excellent opportunities for close settlement both in Natal and the Transvaal. In these districts they had a much heavier rainfall than at the Cape, Fiom Capetown along the coast the country adapted itself admirably for close settlement, but beyond Natal the climate became tropical, and few would take vp permanent residence owing to the dangers of contracting malarial fever

The Timber Industry--A. craft of logs brought to Auckland by the tnffaost Admiral from Kenn«dy*i Bay a week aga consisted of tome of the finest timber which has been seen in Auckland for tome yetri past, all of the legs beirg of extreme length. The raft numbered 66 logi, and it it esti mated that they contained cleie upon 200,000 ft of timber. tAKDiR & Sows' Eucalypti Extract— Under the distinguished patronage of Hia M»jasty the King of Italy,awarded IMploma at the International Exhibition, Amsterdam, Acknowledged by Medical Clinic* and Uni versities all over the globe. That the erode, resinous oils, which are now foisted upon the public under the »ame of Kuoalypi Extract!, may nob be mistaken for Sander & Sons' Pare Volatile Buoalypti Extract, we state :—lt is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of aoidi, resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the curative properties possessed by the plant.* To avoid the appalling consequences result ing from the application of substitutes, etc., in croup, bronchitis, diphtheria.dynantery, internal inflammation, etc., insist *n gating Sander and Pons 1 Pom Votit F.uci ltfh HxTBAOt, and be safe.
