: The following incident happened to me, Beys Mr Sutherland Edwards in his v Personal Recollections," in the capi tal of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. I had just entered a hotel, when the pro prietor came up to me, and said—

"From the cut of your shirt collar and the tie of your cravat, I imagine yon sir, to be an b ngUghman, " X You are right, " I replied. I have a daughter, " he continued. '* She is intelligent, docile, and has been educated at one of oar besfc'conveats. " •Msshe rich and beautiful ? "I felt inclined to ask ; for the tone adopted by the father seemed to be that of light comedy. I contented myself, however, with saying, " Your story interests me" " An unprincipled professor, " contin ued the father " taking advantage of my child's innocence—" Ob, heavens 1 " I exclaimed " Has, under pretence of instructing her in English, taught her what I believe to be Irish " " You frighten me ! " " And now, " said the afflicted parent " you will perphaps allow me to intro duce her to yon, and you will kindly tell me, ! hope what strange tongue she has acquired" Permission was accordingly given, and Mr Edwards was introduced to his host's pretty and interesting daughter, who, in reply to his question, told him that the book was bj " a Mr Burens, " and was in verse The story continues thns:—• " The doggerel of some new American humorist, " I said to myself " What a pity to give it to such a girl!

New Zealand, and The Austrians

United Pree« Association—By Electric Tekgrap —I'elegrtph Sydney, September 5. £ir William Lyne, in reply to a question in reference to Mr Seddon'a refusal to allow the Austriana to pro ceed to New Zealand, said bia Jhandl were tied, Ue couid not prevent them from landing here, the only teat under the Aliens Act being their ability to write thair names.

The Iron and Steel Trade.

It oow seems perfectly clear that the tide of prosperity in the iron and steel trade has turned. There is a distinct decline in the output at all the works which carry on an ordinary competitive badness, and each week this downward tendency increases. Of course, this is partly due to the belief that prices ate going to drop. Manu facturers now fully recognise what a great influence the condition! of trad* in America exert upon the homt market, and that trade is declining rapidly in America is now a matter of certainty. Many of the manufacturer* ara now convinced .that prices are sure to be easier during the next month or two, and th*y are buying as little M possible.

To Proprietor Jpt'laatekoa Remedies. Dear Sirs, —For ovet three years I have suffered from Bydatids ard ]'nlargrment of the Liver. Two years ago 1 was admitted to the Wellington Hospital, and after careful and thorough examination by the doctors, it was decided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at that time waa very low, my liver b3ing iwollen to such an excerit that the doctor outlined it on the skin with a pencil. I remained In the Hospital six months, most of the time confined to my bed, and although every atteation waa bestowed upon me by She doctors and others, I left that institution very lit.!la improved in health. However, 1 resumed my usual occupation at the local Gasworks, but shortly after was compelled to 3»y up again, this time with Jaundice in addition to my old complaint. You can readily understand my condition was awful. I suffered terribly with pain in the stomach and bowels. The feeling used to be of a sinking nature, with gnawing sensations in the pit of the stomach, usually coming on about an hour after meals. No medicine I tried did me any permanent good, until I used your wonderful PLaNTEKOA. This medicine seemed to attack the disease almost at once, and after giving it a fair trial, it bas fulfilled my highest expecta tions. The pain at the stomach is gone, my liver has resumed its natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and my skin is now quite clear. My appetite is splendid, and I can eat and sleep and work now with pleasure and corn'ort. I might also add to this note that, while nsiog Planteboa, we gave some to our little girl, who had the chicken pox very badly. In conjtanc" tion with Plantekoa Ointment, a cure was ! soon brought about. I give you thin j testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to my case, either personally or by letter. (Signed) Stewart Dttndas Gobdon.
