WHEN Mks. EVE first started the fashion of wearing tho hair down the back, she didn't think her daughters would adopt the same style uo many hundreds of years aff or wards. "Perhaps" had she been alive now niy 3d Frizettes would hare been patronised by her, anyway her daughters patronise them. Then 1 have such a lovely fresh lot of Chignons from 2d to Is, and am not iikely to he able to get any more at the same price, so don't be the same as some ladies are, always behind. I have reduced the Ladies and Maid's White Ball Boots to 2s 6d ; Kir.gering Wool, 3d and Id a hank: Berlin v/ 001, beautiful colours, 4d a doz; Girls Mushroom Straw Hats, 4d; black Rustic do, 6d; superior do, 9d; Ladies do. Is 3d; Boy's do, la; Men's Felt Hats. 2s 6ri ; Men's Silk and Satin Scarves, such beautie3, Is. The party I bought them of says he loses £50 on the lot, and I believe him. Tell your wives to buy you one Some people take five and six. Lace Cambric Handkerchiefs, for balls, parties. &c., Is 6d. They make you ladies look so bewitching when you hold them in your hands. I'he loss to the merchant I bought them of is truly awful. They are going fast, like the Muffs went, so don't blame me when they are all stone. Ladies' Ulster Cloaks, 12s; Black or Red Llama Shawls, 7s; Saxony Scarf Shawls, 10s: 200-yard reels of Black Glazed Cotton (please to remember the price), Id each, or lOd a dozen ; 50-yard reels of Black and White ditto, z a penny, or 4Jd a doz.; Linen Machine Thread, Cd, Bd, and lOd a reel. It is good, and you cannot buy it anywhere else at anything like the money. I am now selling a lot of pretty Ribbon very cheap. Good stout Flannel, Is Cd a yard ; Kvana's Boa's Head Cro chet Cotton, 2Jd a reel; Clark's ditto, 2Ad a hank. What wouid they think in London if you were to tell them I am selling beautiful Black Silk Hats (which only want a bit of fur to make them rink hats), at 6d each. I should think they cost some one about 2s each. No wonder a policeman came into my shop and looked round without buying anything, Ladies, I hear you don't"always" do as your husbands tell you; however, I expect many of you " to do as 1 tell you," and. that is wear my warm Crinolines at Is 6d. Of course, I don't mean always, but when you have a dirty job to do, or a dirty road to travel, &c. They are also first-rate for those living in the bush. I have sold about 30 dozen already. Somo people, I bolieve, take the wires out and make petticoats of them. There &tg a' few very tiny ones at 3d each, which will do for dolls or children. I beg your pardon ladies, I should have said children or dolls, but you can't expect any better from an old bachelor. I must now tell you 1 have bought ovor 40 dozen more Dress Improvers lately, 3d and 6d each. Some of the sixpenny ones have been patronised by the Princess Beatrico, hut she didn't buy them of me, and, therefore, paid a great deal moro for them. I havo some made of leather, some of muslin, somo of straw, and some of cork, and pretty ones they are too. I may as well remind the ladies that cork floats on tho water, in case they should happen to fall into it. I have Crino lines and Dress Improvers combined for 9d. The ladies had better come and look at tho variety of Fresh HatundHtiir Ornaments I have just bought an immense quantity of, and am selling at Gd and 9d each. I havo a nice lot of Mark-ting: Kits, both useful and ornamental, from 6d to Is eacli; fresh lot of Children's Boots very cheap ; Machine Silk, different colours, ljd a reel, or is 3d a dozen; Hair Brushes, Is 3d and Is 9d ; Is Hack Combs for 4ti ; Slate Pencils, 8 a penny, or 9d a hundrod ; handsome Lead Pen cils, Id, or 9d a dozen ; Barry's Tricopherous, Is 6d; Holloway's Pills, Is 2d: Black Tubular Braid, 36 yards for Is; Coloured ditto, 3G yards for Is 6a; No. t:5 Black Braid, Is Gd the 3 dozen ; Russian Binding, 6d a dozen yards. It is Is a dozen in tho wholesale houses. White Bed Lace, 6d a dozen yards; assorted Hair PiDS, two boxes a penny, or 5d a dozen; Girls' Chemises reduced to Is Id. My Ladies' Jackets are going well at 3s to 6s, so don't be too late, and remem ber we are likely to have any amount of cold weather yet. Before I forget it, I wish to apologise to those ladies who have boon unable to get served on account of tho crowded state of my shop, and am glad to inform them that I shall now keep four assistants instead of three. Twelve monihs ago I only had employment for one, so I have also to thank the ladies for their increased patronage. What should I do without the ladies, and what would the ladies do without me. The ladies might do without their husbands, because there are more to be got, but they are not likely to get another Dampier. Rink Collars, 6d, and a great variety of other sorts at the same price, and they are beautiful and no mistake. Just show your husbands one, and see if it doesn't make them wish they were ladies. The proper price of Key Rings is 4d euch, and yet I am selling beautiful bright ones at 2d a dozen. Is'nt r.hat another wonderful thing. Can I wonder if people think I steal my goods. Tasso Trimming, 2d a yard; largo Black Dress Buttons, 4d a dozen; smaller do, 2d ; Crochet Hooks, 4d a dozen. The Peanuts are very nice, and now going fast at Id alb : Men'ri Handsomo White Linen Shirt Fronts, 6d each; Paper do., 4dadoz; Ladies Bonnets (Velvet), 2s; Velvet Hats, trimmed, 2s. I have such a nice lot of Girl's handsome Warm Jackets at 3d O'd, arid a nice lot at 2s. Just come and see if it is'ut enough to make any one wish they had a lot of little giris. Clark's extra quality Machine Cotton, Ud a reel, or Is 4d a dozen. People who use'ljnen Machine Thread seem to be a very stupid clas^ of people, or they would'ut pay Is 6d a reel for it when they can buy even No. 70 and SO off me for lOd, and 30 and 40 for Gd. When jou get a wiXo (I am speaking to the young men now), get a wife that is clever at buying one that won't do as hundreds of women arc doing at the present time pitying 3s alb. for Knitting Cotton when I am seliiug Alexander's even at Is 9d alb. Sinco writing the above, I have bought 73 more of those Girl's Jackets I spoke of, and will sell them at 2s and 2s Gd; also 28 of a better sort, which I will sell at 33 Gd to ss; Girl's Poll Combs, 3d to 6d; Wave Braid, blue or white, Id a dozen pieces. Is'nt it wonderful. I believo there are some ladies who do not come to my shop because they think it cannot be true that 1 sell at the prices I name. Now, ladies, lam going to tell you a secret; you need not let it go any further; it is about my wonderful 2s Tea. Why is it I sell such wonderful Tea at 2s ? The reason I do it is, wherever people get extra good Tea for their money they come oiten, and every time they come to me for Tea they see something fresh, and therefore buy other things beside the JTea. What a price some ladies pay for Hand Mirrors, and I am selling such beauties at 2s Gd; square Looking Glasses, 4d. Come and look at the large bottles of Hair Oil I am selling at 6d, and which lots of people in Auckland are paying Is for elsewhere. Why you know it is really a serious matter, for at that rate you save 10s out of a£l, and on many of the things I sell, you can save considerably more. lam selling some of the largest Hooks and Byes in Auckland at Is 6d a gross ; large Black Silk Buttons, 4d a dozen; such pretty Glass do, 2d a dozen; Pink Ruche, 4d a yard ; Shirt Buttons, is'nt it laughable, Id a gross ; superior do, 2d a gross; Ladies Kid Boots, 5s 6d; handsome Furniture Braid, 6d a dozen yards ; lot of Dres3 Trimming, very cheap ; Ladies Seal Skin Jackets, Gs ; Boas, Is 6d; Ribbon Velvet, 18yds for lOd; useful Tooth Combs for your husbands and children, 2d and 3d ; Dress Holders, two a Id; 60-inch Tape Measures, Id, weli worth 4d; great i"t of Black Bugle Fringo, 6d.

If all the people who use Gum Tickets were sensible, they would buy mine quicker at, will you believe it, at Is a thousand.

Hart, Esq., ex-Mayor Of Christchurch :— Christchurch, 31st August, 1877.' Sib,—A few months ago I was suffering very severely from an attack of Rheumatic Gout, through which I was confined to my bed for several weeks. From representations made to me by friends, I was induced to try your Indian Medicine, and found myself so much improved by their übo, that I was enabled to leave my bed in four days after taking them, and in seven was able to walk about with comparative ease. I continued their use i-teadily for several weeks, and got completely restored to health by them, and have been up to this date able to take free walking exercise. I recommend the use of youi medicins to others suffering from Rhuematisru or Gout.—l am, &c, M. B. Hart. The Proprietor of Ghollah's Great Indit. Cures:— Auckland, 27th June, 1878.
