Received June 3, 9 43 am Sydney, June 8 The Premier recently received ft letter from an eminent; New York financial fine, pointing out the oppor* tunity which; the New York market presented for placing Government stock, and inviting the Premier when next placing a loan to give Americans ths chance of showing what they cossld do» The Premier, commenting on the pro pOßal. said that wliii© he believed that the usual course of going to tho British market should generally be followed, still if it became cleat* that better termt conld be obtained in other countries, he would be in favour of accepting there. Adelaide, June 3 The Premier states that there is no new principle iuvolved in the tale of loan stock whj'chi has .been so disposed «f in ittFgß oremali quantities for years. The same system would be adopted aS the Agentseneral's office, London, June 2 The Stock' Exchange has expressed its strong objection to the proposal of the South Australian Government to eel! loan stock over the commutation price whenever a likely market offers,

Queer Adventure of a Reporror.

An enterprising reporter for a new paper posed recently as a lunatic In order to gain admittance to Bellavue Hospitnl for the purpose of obtaining facts far a sensational exposure. He started by rushing into the corridor of the Fifth Avenue Hote?, howling like a dervish. He was promptly arrested and clubbed by a policeman. Then he was takrn to Bfllevne, whers the alert medical man losb no time in discovering the sham. Tois is whab fee did to the alleged lunatic : Gave him a powerful emetic. Put him on a milk diet. Administered icccoid shower baths. Save him injections of morphine. Would not let him sleep Gave him stomach-pump treatment. Vaccinated him. Gave him an electee bath. Pulled cut two teeth. Told him he had cancer on the brain, and that his head would have to be cut open. Thereupon the * lunatic' gave a wild yell of terror ar>d contested. He was taken to thw police station, and waa severe'y lectured by the magistrate. Then he returned to the editor, and was promptly dismissed for inoomperence.

I Took Them.

,—«^_, The liws relating to the unlawful taking 1 ot other people's property sre somewhat stringent in the colonies, but their administration is occasionally the cause of much comment It has fre quently been noticed that the unfortu nate who, when perhaps pressed by w.'uit and hunger, appropriates to his own use a small sum is sentenced to a long term of imprisonment ; whereas, the well connected wrongdoer when charged with the larceny of perhaps thousands of pounds has frequently, in reply to his •! took them,' received a sentence far from commensurate with his crime. The ill-gotten property of such uciions Lever result in benefit f but there is a preparation now being sold through out the Australian co'onies—Bile Beans for biliousness — which, when used, cause people to joyfully say, '1 took them.' These Beans arc a purely vegetable pre paration, and the result of years of thoughtful researcb*cn the part of a medical man. The use ©f any, even tha slightest dc4eterious Bubstancp, is most carefully avoided, They have been, compounded with the special object of assisting the liver, stomach, and kidneys to thoroughly end effectually perform their natural functions, if any of the foiegoing organ" of the digestive system are impaired ill-health is the result, and, in fact, nitte-tenths of all the ills which tffect mankind todsy sre directly trace able to deranged digestive 'organs As Bile Beans will restore those organs to their proper working order, they will prove efficacious in removing the causes of a great majority of the ailments from which men and women unfortunately suffer today. They have done this in cases, and innumfrabie men and womaa today find themselves in a position of great benefit, through being able to say, 'I have taken them.'

j A Tale of a Dog. ~At a hostelry in Hampton on Thames is a dog named Jack. He has been trained to pick up coins and not to give them op until a biscuit or sorae other toothsome morsel has been given to him in exchange, A day or two ago a customer dropped two half sovereigns on the floor. He picked up onp, but the other could not be found. After searching in vain for half an hour heaaked the landlord for a biscuit to give to Jack, who was ly ing in a corner presumably asleep and looking very innocent. No sooner did the dog get the biscuit than he dropped tho missing half sowrf-igh from hia mouth. Jack, it may be added, col lects money for Rfchmond Hospital.
