I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO DIS CUSS the following subjects -with either thrt St. James's or any other Discussion Class :— Did Julius Ca>sar ever wear a Belltopper, or, if ; he did, was it anything equal to those I am sel ling at 8s? Did he wear a Satin Scarf on Sun days, or, if so, was ie as goo<? as mine at Is? Did his mother wear a Crinoline, and, if so, cmldit possibly be equal to mine at Is 6d, un -1-S3 she stole it? Did Mrs. Julius Csesarwear Josephine Kid Gloves, or. admitting that she did, which I think is doubtful, were they equal to mine at Is 6d a pair? Did Mary Queen of -cots use a Hand Mirror, or was it as handsome or as large as I soli lor 3s > Were Dre^s Jm pi overs iv fashion in her time? or were they a las good as mine at 6d each? Were there any Babies in the 9th centmy, or, if bo, did their mothers buy them Pnff Boxes wiih puff like mine at Is 6d? Was Sbakespeare ever talkpd of half so much in his time by the ladies as W. H. Dampier is ? Do the Ladies of Auckland caro as much to read the "Twelve Tribes of Isruel" as they do to read Dampier's advertisement? I shall, of course, take the negative side on all the above subjects if called upon, excepting " Were there any Babies in the 9th century," wtich I am not quite prepared to deny entirely, but firmly beJievo that they were not half so numerous in Auckland at that time as they appear to be now. And now, Ladies, I have to talk about subjects a little more serious. You know the Fashionable Two-button Kid Gloves I bought you lately ? well, there are only three pairs left oat of 20 dozon, bo lot that be a warn ing to those ladies "who put off till to-morrow what they should do to-day. 1 have now a nice lot of tf'resh Bargains, including Josephine Kid Gloves, but only No. 6 size mind, so that it is necessary to have either children or girls, or to have very small hands yourself. Those ladies who are always behind will Btand a good chance, if they don't mind, of being too late also for my new lovely thickly-fringed Silk Scarves at Is Gd, and which are going well. Before I forget it, I beg to tender the ladies my sincere thanks lor bringing their husbands with them lately to buy Hats and Veet* of me. and when I g«t into Parliament, which " may" be next year, I won't, al* far as I am concerned, allow any duty to bo put on Babies' Cradles, though babies are so plentiful. I may as well 'ell the ladies, how ever, that I fcavo a " down" on infants from one to two years old, as they rob me at every opportunity. They are not particular whether it is a pair of Pretty Blue or Bed Boots, which I sell, "when they let me," at Is !>d, or whether it is a i eel of my Machine Thread, for which they can have no earthly use, and which are going fast at 3d. I have already sold, as near as I can tell, about 8 dozen of the Falls from 9d to Is each. I have sold about 25 dozen Boys' Kelt Hats at 2s in two days short of five weeks, and the number of Men's Black and White ditto I have sold these last two weeks at 2s 6d is wonderf'l. You can give a few Stay Busks away t" the poor now ladies, as I have bought lately 90 dozen, a bargain, and will sell them at 3d a pair; also Ladies' White Coreets, 2s a pair; and 86 dozon ditto, much superior, at 3s, a littie spotted, but none the worse.

The un dersigned, from hi». ; ■ intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can ' ■ onfidently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing . ' Machine as a really good, genuine, and well- v tested Machine.
