WHAT A DIFFERENCE there ■is -in - women. The wise ones have already bought all my White, Blue and Black Hamburg Net,, arid I have only some of the Brown left, in different patterns, and that is going fast too; and no wonder, when I am selling it at the ridiculous price of Is ayard. I havejustbought a lot of Black, White, and Brown Hamburg Trimming, and will sell it at 2d, 3d, and id. yard; so don't be too late. The ladies tell me there isn't a man more talked, of by them in Auckland than I am, and, no wonder, when I am. always buying them something nice. I only wish I could get some more Shirt Fronts like I am now selling at 6d each. What would the Queen say if she saw my new lot of lorely Cuffs and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be all sold; Embroidery, 4d a yard; Indies' White Stockings, 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 23. I -will now rednce my 6s Jackets to 4a, and my 4s ones to 3a 6d. Already about three Darts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, and over 2 feet wide.

They look like 18 carat gold, and if they are not I will give you your money back. I will now give your hus bands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftener by selling such handsome Watch Guards at 2s each. All I need say about them is that though " they may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well aa many that are 18 carat, und somebody lose^ awfully on them, I can as-sure you. As you lu-diea are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense stock of magnifies t Belt Clasps, the hif<hefct price of which is Is a pair.

If all the women in Auckland were us sharp as aij iadj customers, I shouldn't have any 200 jard reels of ulazed Cotton left to sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at id per dozen; but there are bine to bo some stuj-id women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at Id a yard. I shouldn't bo at ail surprised but what some of the ladies have been telling their husbands about my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s 6d, as there has been a great ruu on them lately. I have also some at 2a. Handaome Coloured Satin Fur niture Trimujing, Gd per yard; Coloured Fur- Braid, 6d per dozen yarda; Black and Green Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards; Black Bugle Dress Gimp, reduced to id per yard.

What will the men do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, audit will not be long, for I have already sold I should think about 45 dozen. I shall wantyou ladies to buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d io Is as soon as you can, as 1 have bought over 92 dozen. 1 have also bought about 80 dozen pairs of Bracelets, which I am selling 6d and 9d a puir, and they aro beauties ; ladies high Button Boots, 03 6d.

Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in Auckland, but still I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe sorno ladies come and get their bargains of mo as usual, and hug them all to themselves, not saying a word to their friends about tho wonder ful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and toil the price they have paid, and so do good to those they know, including myself. I have a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business. There is one advantage the ladies will gain by reading this advertisement over again, and that is they will be able to write down what thoy wish to remember. Tell your husbands to come and see my strong useful Shoes at is a pair.—W. H. Dampier, Victoria-street, corner of Hobson street.



rgIAXATION 'BELIEVED < «3T READ THIS CAREFULLY. Much ado is being made at the present time about .the tax on Beer, and the cry is—" Why tax the poor man any more." But without dis cussing the pros, and cons, of the above tax, J. LEVY would call the attention of the Public of Auck land—and especially the , Working Classes—to the Great Reduction which he has made in the price of Men's, Boy's, and Youth's READY-MADE CLOTHING. This great reduction on what is realiy necessary for the Working Man's comfort, will more thun recompense him for the tax on beer. Warm Clothing is a necks-ity ; Beer is a luxury. Be wise, therefore, ana have necessities first, and if you have any spare Cash afterwards, then indulge in luxuries. J. LEVY ■ does not intend in this advertisement to sisy much, as the Parliamentary reports occupy so much space, but he has no fear but the few remarks he has offered will cause men to think aright, and if they are wise, they will Jose no time in calling upon their old friend, who assures them that he has in stook everything that ia requisite for their requirernentp. J. LEVY Makes no apology for republishing his PRICE LIST again. It caused a sensation before, and will do so again, especially as nearly all the lines have been reduced. .

We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination.

The BtioDRCBt recoiumondnon for this me d cine ia its owniutrinsic worthas shewn by the marvellous curoa effected on well-known and much respected ruombcra of our community. The bast proof of this is to be found m the large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of ■health experienced by using this panacea. At tho request of those cured, the proprietor now brings tho "Blood Restorer" more prominently before tho Public, in tho sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts ola merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated discuses a.nd averting threatening sick ness. ' The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of tho age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease;, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give tho Blood Restorcra fair and impartial trial. And '.I>3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood ia the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter —become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchon s Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchbns,— Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using youi valuable Blood Restorer, and as a-warning and guidance to othera, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. 6o far from being bene fltted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us froni testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wqnderful relief; before many bottles were t^ken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend tg my household duties. * Yours very gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox.
