Our Navy.

Me MaeMahon, advacce agent, arrived here today to make arrangements for the firßb presentation here of the successful and unique entertainment, 'Oar Navy.' The company has jast concluded a season of fourteen nights in Duoediti, during which time, owing to exigencies of dates, the per* fonnanoe was shown at) three places of amnsemoDt, viz., PriDcess and Alhambra Theatres, and the Garrison Hall. Speaking of the performance, the Otago Daily Times of February lat cays ;—The realistic exposi tion of Our Navy ehowa the audience how the Sons of the Sea are trained to the re sponsible duties which they are called upon to discharge. When the British tar oomes whore disciplined and developed bo the high abate of efficiency required by those who are responsible to the Admiralty for tho safe guarding of oar maritime interests and the coastal defence? we oheerfully accept him as a good specimen of a Britisher, knowing nothing of the painstaking attention to detail on the part of the officers and the ready aoueptanoe by the men of systematic headwork which are absolutely necessary to tarn out the perfected article. During the progress of the entertainment (he men of owr navy are ahowa in every dep»rtmenb of their marled life from scrubbing decks to physical drill, and from working naval (jjuns on board Bhip to dragging their four.iDoh giants of destruction along the death strewn tracks and kopjes of South Africa, eaoh scene driving heme fco the mind of the onlooker the immense amounb of labour which is so cheerfully undertaken by men to whom nothing comes amles from saving the invested town of Lidyamith to patching their olothing with equal skill either with right or left hand. The people of Ashburfcon will oertainly aot miss a representation that appeals to their patriotio instincts as ' Oar Navy ' does.

THE WAR, IRELAND, AND JAPAN

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Oopyrighb London, February 15 Lord Rosebery addressed an enthu siastic meeting, attended by 4000 people, at Liverpool. He regretted the Government's refusal of the safe conduct for the Boer delegates, who ought to have been allowed to go, on cocdition that they advocatfd peace. It would be madness to entrust Ire land's destinies to men who earnestly wished to see Great Britain overthrown on the battlefield. An independent Parliament at 1 Dublin was not on his 'slate. With regard to the treaty with Japan, Lord Rosebery advised caution. Judging from the far-reaching conse quences of sneh a step, if the new de partare was the treaty of this kind, it would not be the last.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE BATBD. At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Biarrhoet Remedy. Dr Cbaa. H Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states ; * Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything \ prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hoar. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a s'.ndy for me, but I thought Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and O!arrh«*i Remedy, and as a last resort prescribed it. Tha most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling mnch better; Inside of three days she was upon her fsefc and at the end of one week was entirely well.' For sale by Ashbnrton Drag Co.
