I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO DIS CUSS the following subjects with either the St. James a or any other Discussion Class:— Did Julius Csesar ever wear a Belltopper, or, if he did, was it anything equal to those I am sel ling at 8a ? Did he wear a Satin Scarf on Sun days, or, if so, was it aa goo<? as mine at Is? Did his mother wear a Crinoline, and if so could it possibly be equal to mine at Is 6u, un less she stole it? Did Mrs. Julius Cse=ar wear 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 Scots use a Hand Mirror, or was it as handsome or as large as I sell for 33? Were Dress Im provers in fashion in her time? or were they a ias good as mine at 6d each? Were there any Babies in the 9th century, or, if so, did. their mothers bay them Puff Boxes with puff like mine at Is 6d? Was Shakespeare ever talked or half so much in his time by the ladies as W. H. Dampier isl Do the Ladies of Aucklandcare as much to read the "Twelve Tribes of Israel" 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 9r.h century," which I am. not quite prepared to deny entirely, but nrmly believe 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 seriou3. 'Xou know the Fashionable Two-button Kid Gloves I bought you lately ? well, there are only three pairs left out of 20 dozen, so let that be a warn ing to those ladies "who put off till to-morrow what they should do to-day. I have now a nice lot of Fresh Bargains, including Josephine Kid Gloves, but only No. 6 size mmd, 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 stand a good chance, if they don't mind, of being1 too late also for my new lovely thickly-fringed Silk Scarves at Is 6d, and which are going well. Before I forget it, I beg to tender the ladies my sincere thanks for bringing their husbands with them lately to buy Hats and Vests of me, and when I get into Parliament, which " may" be next year, I won't, as far as I am concerned, allow any duty to be put on Babies* Cradles, though babies are so plentiful. I may as well tell the ladies, how ever, that I have 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 Red Boots, which I sell, " when they let me," at Is 9d. or whether it is a Teel 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 la each. I have sold about 25 dozen Boys Felt 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 wonderful. You can give a few Stay Basks away to the poor now ladies, as I have bought lately 90 dozen, a bari<aio, and will sell them at 3d a pair; also Ladies' White Corsets 2s a pair ; and 86 dozon ditto, much superior, at 3s, a little spotted, but none the worse. Tell your lady friends, so that they may not require to use my new lot of 4d Handkerchiefs to cry m when they hear of their being all sold.

Men's Braces, Is. lam sorry to say I have only about 2 dozen Ud Socks left for the good msrried men out of 20 dozen, and don't know when I shall be able to sell such good ones again at the price. I have some of Ladies' White Stockings left however at 6d, though they are going well.

Q2 TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. Dr. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution 64 Holborn Viaduct, E.C.. London. 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subjected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

Sir, —-I have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searching1 chemical analysis and critical examination, the result of -which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and isabsolutely free from any trace of fusil or other iniurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, &c, (Signed) Ws. Johnson; Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria. This Pure Medical Spirit. Superior to any n the Market, and Lower in Price, is offered to the Public under the full conviction that it will supersede all others now in use. A TRIAL IS EARNESTLY SOLICITED.

Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnjbus Driver, 21 tears resident, of Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, Auerust 20,1878. Dear Sir, —I had severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and waa unable to he except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence, my general health was also materially iniured. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almost a burden to me I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopefiri at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it i 3 quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of fhis.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, m tt tk -cr-i Henry Maiden. To H. B. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. QAUxiOM TO THIS PUBLIC DR. BRIGHT"? PHOSPHODYNE.
