The Victorian Premier.

Premier Peacock's appearance on the platform at the Fitzroy Town Hall last night (says the Age of January 16) was the signal for prolonged cheering, The enthusiasm of the ladies present m the ' front apa*B was very marked, and they clapped their gloved hands and stamped their parasols an til the Chief secretary was compelled to bow hie acknowledge* mante. It was Mr Peacock's first public appearance since his marriage, and most of the speakers of the evening referred to the fact. On rising to speak himself, Mr Peacock thanked the gathering for the encouraging cheers. He needed them, he addled, amidst aughter. Before attending the hall he had been prepared to give the last sovereign left from a honeymoon trip to escape his speech.—(Laughter.) Tfc was not that he felt afraid of the audience, but it was the first speech he had made m public at which his wife bad been present. During the past year Bho had frequently heard him speak m private—(laughter)—and to night she would not stay away, so anxious was she to hear him m public, — (Loud laughter.)

Married life in Barracks.

: «, Undoubtedly (writes the wife of an non-commissioned officer) there is a strong prejudice against marriage with soldiers, arising, I Bhould say, from pure ignorance. I once had the same pre judice mysslf until I met my husband, When we made a match of it my rela" Stives were disgusted and refused to receive him, However, ten years vf married life m barracks h&ve been the happiest mmy life. I always bad good quarters, and was able to make them comfortable. A good meal and fire were always certain, and there was no need to worry about the possibility of my husband being thrown out cf em* ployment, Rent taxes, and the cost of fuel and light being non existent, my husband's wages were amply suffi cient for all our wants ; besides which, m the case of illness, a good doctor land the necessary nourishments were forthcoming, free gratis and for nothing. People are inclined |to deprecate barrack life, but I have found the surroundings, 'all that could bo wished for, and certainly far better ihnp those of civil life. My advice to any young woman who is uncertain whether it shall be 'Yes* or *No' to her soldier lover is by all means to choose the affirmative reply,

4 Printer's Misfortune J The particulars of a serious mis | fortnne which overtook Mr W Filmer, a printer, residing at Abbott Street, West Maitland (N S W), have been gathered by oar reporter I Mr Filmer's long and honorable j connection with the Maitland Mercury has caused him to be well known and respected throughout Maitland, where great sympathy has been expressed for him. It appears that some time ago he fell away to a mere skeleton, the result of diarrhoea, which became chronic. He was very often seized with fainting fite, due to weakness, which the diarrhoea caused, hie food gave him little Btrength, and despite the best of treatment he did not recover, A friend who had been cared by Dr Williams' pink pills recommended them. One box benefited Mr Filmer greatly, three more boxes cured him. He has Increased thirteen pounds in weight in nine months, and he feels better, brighter and stronger than he baa for thirty years Mr Filmer will be pleased to verify these statements, which were made before Mr J Thompson, J P, should anyone write to him. By enriching the b)ood and retoning the nerves, Dr Williams' pink pills cure aciemia, debility, dyspepßia,inßomnia,headaches, effects of influenza and fevers, chesfe complaints, skin diseased, ladies' ail ments, etc, Sold by chemists and store keepers, and by the Dr Williams* Medicine Co, Wellington, 8s per box, six boxes 16a 6d, post free.
