The Mayor of Christchurch.

At thi meeting of the Chngtchuroh Oity Council held on Monday evening, Ooanciilor Appleby took occwsion to place on record the high opinions of the Mayftr held by thw Councillors. Excepting the year 1869, th«>re had , not been a year that had m-»de such a call on the time and hospitality of th«- Mayor as the past one: Mr Kei jce's eacrifi ;e of his valuable timn bar! earned the very sine;, re thaiks of everycitiz-.il>, and it was the wish of every cttizw that his Worship should have filled the position for the next term. He would move—" 1 hat thia Council bege to place on record its highest appreciation of the service* rendered to the city by his Worship fcfae Mayor during his term of office, a term calling forth the exercise of great business ability and cific entertain- j ment, which his Worship haa fully met in a marked degree." Councillor Gray seconded themotion, and all the Councillors present spoke strongly in support of the motion, was eanied unanimously. I

The Royal Visit

Oommenting on the appointment of Mr John Holmes, a" Flax Expert," to superintend the arrangements for the reception of the Duke and Duchess of York the Press says :—" His loquacity la undoubtedly bis strongest p int. But is this precisely the qualify which is required in a Special Organising Commissioner, whose particular duty it is to make* arrangements f r the reception of vi i'iug Royalties ? And, if so, m&y we enquire, upon whom is it expected that Mr Holh.es shall expend his gifts in this direction ? la i& in tended th*t they shall used for the initraction and delectation of ottr Royal guflste? With all reverence, we say, Heaven forbid ! We do not know precisbly what, the tastes of the Duke and Duchsss may be in thi* respect, but we should say that any desire they m»y have for long speeches will bs fully satisfied during their intercourse with tba Premier.'

Mr Davitt and the Boers.

The following interesting letter from an "Irish Volunteer," now at Pretoria, appears in the London 3 imesi— Permit roe to state that the great mi jority of Irish (Catholic) residents jn Fouth Africa are opposed to the policy of Mr Davitt and other Irish M P.'s. Had they, aa devout Citholics, resided for any length of time in the late Orange Free State or Transvaal I qapstion whether they would not now bo fight ing shoulder to shoulder with the "Soldiers of the Queen." Mr Davitt does know that all Oatholica reei 'ents in the lato Repulics were debarred the rights of cHz°nship and a!l Govern ment employment. A Catholic could iiot hold effice even rs a common police man under the Grondwefc (Act of PrtHiamnt) Those wl o know Mr Davitt will not take him seriously. Many years ngo he scorned the idea of true Nationalist untiring Parliament, i His inconsistency h«s been more than once npparpn*, «!id many c f his old i friends of thirty yeats ago have cut "the painter." For the information o' Davitt and Oo let me BUt<» • h »t in pvery Volunteer Oo»"ps in Souih Africa Irishmen are to be founf 1, a- the R C chaplains can testify. Th" Irish rf the Transvaal have nothing to ih"nk old man Kruger for. There wf re n. few Irishmen in the employ cf the Transvaal' G vorr.naent, men who renounced tho faiih of their fathers, MrTP O'M'ara, ex-Maynr j of Pietermarifzourf', Fatal, in a speech ! to support the policy of Alfred Milner — "He had koown Kruger for thirty - eight yearp, and ven tured to say they nev^r was a more unmitigated scoundrel ever born. (\p planes.) He had I ©en a Mider, rob ber, rebe', and murderer all the time he (the speaker) had known him " Mr i O'Mearaia » Tipperary man and a sin cere catholic, and for many years represented Maritzbarg in the Legisla tive Council, Mr O ( Reil]y, Mayor of I Capetown, is a supporter of Sir Alfred j Milner, He is a Limerick man. No! one will question his love for his native Sand. Mr M Cornwall, ex ML A, and , late mayor of Kimberley, is aleo a strong supporter of the high Oomraie-! sioner, and known throughout Africa as a sterling Irishman. Mr St John Carr, a director of several conipanieson the Rand, is also a Catholic and serving •with tbe Imperial Light Horse. I could name many scores of other Irish men deadly opposed to the policy of Michael Davitr. The intelligent Irish have no sympathy with Kroger nor »ver had. The Eev Father De Lacey wbs (X ---pelled from from Johannesburg by tbe order of Mr Kruger. The so-called Irißh Brigade (of Blake's Hooligans, as they were known) wprethe scum (f the Band, principally composed of low American corner boys, not 5 per cent being Irishmf-n, The third in com mand is a tailor named Mitchel, and wae employed by a Peravi*n Jew. Blakes character is too well known (o need comment. Suffice to e»y fchfy were a disgrace, and it is a libel on Ireland to call them Irish.

•^ into consumption. First a cold, then a settled cough, then slow fever, night sweats, and hemorrhages. Don't neglect your cough. Stop it I at once and drive away all thought of ! consumption. Begin as early as possi- . bie—the sooner the better —to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral the most effective remedy for coughs of every kind and in every stage. One of the most annoying coughs is a throat cough, where you have that constant tickling in your throat. It comes on worse at night, keeps you awake, and makes you have that smothered feeling in the chest. It hardly seems possible what one dose of Cherry Pectoral will do for this kind of a cough, it brings such marked relief. Put up in large and small bottles. When the cough gets down deep in the chest and the lungs aro painful, put one of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Plasters directly over the tender luug. It will draw out all the soreness. Prepared by Dr. J.
