r HAVE NO OBJECTION TO DIS L CUBS the following subjects with either le St. James's or any other Liscu^siou Class :— 'id Julius Caesar ever wear a 801 l topper, or, it c did, was it anything equal to those I am sei ngatßs? Did he wear a Satin boarf on bun ays, or, if so, was it as good as mine at Is.' )id his mother wear a Crinoline, and,, if so, nuldit possibly be equal to mine st 1-bd, un 'S3 she stole it? Did Mrs. Julii-s ( eesar wear osephine Kid Gloves, or. admitting that she id which I think is doubtful, were they equal 0 mine at Is 6d a pair ? Did Mary Queen ot cots use a Hand Mirror, or was it as handsome ,t- as large as I se'l for 3-* Were Dre-a .ra il overs in fashion in her time? or were they a as good as mine at 6d each? Were there any babies in the 9th centmy, or, if so, did their nothers buy them Puff Boxes with puff like nine at Is 6d? Was Shakespeare ever talked )f half so much in his time by the ladies as W. 3. Dampier is 1 Do the Ladies of Auckland care is much to read the "Twelve Tribes of Israel" is they do to read Dunipier's advertisement? 1 thall, of course, take the negative side on all the ibove subjects if called upon, excepting "Were ;here any Babies in the 9r,h century," which I im not quite prepared to deny entirely, but (irmly believe that they were not half so aumerous in Auckland at that time as they appear to be now. And now, Ladies, I have tc talk about subjects a little more serious. "You know the Fashionable Two-button Kid Gloves 1 bought you lately ? well, there are only three Dairs left out of 20 dozen, so let that be a warn ing to those ladies "who put off till to-morrovs wnat they should do to-day. J have now «, nice lot of Fresh Bargains, including Josephine &i- Gloves, but only No. 6 size mind, so that it it necessary to have either children or girls, or t( have very small hands yourself. Those ladies who are always behind will stand a good chance if they don't mind, of being too lato also for mj new lovely thickly-fringed Silk Scarves at Is 6d and which are going well. Before I forget it, ] beg to tender the ladies my tineere thanks foi bringing their husbands with them lately to buj Hats and Vesta of me, and when I get intc 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 sc 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 everj opportunity. They ar<* not particul*] whether it is a pair of Pretty Blue or Red Boots which I sell, " when they let me," at la 9d, oi wbetber it is a 7 eel of my Machine Thread, foi which they can have no earthly ui-e, and whicl are going fast at 3d.

Report on a Sample of Imperial Schieoata Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subjected a. sample of the above named article; to a very careful oheniicut analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are wit forth \ in a separate report, show that thi* piritisof good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter m solution. It possesses o. delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, ia well purified, and quite K^nuine. (Signed) Arthur K.

Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, 23rd July, 1877. . Henri J. Hart, Esq. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by yon to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result, of which enables me to Btate 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 m 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.

Extraordinary Cure op an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, op Long-standing RHEUMATifM. _ Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had .suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to aU weathers in tbe exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie 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 reliof 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 hopeful 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 tho 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 longtime, 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 ln. giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this,—l am, air, yours _ratefully, m t- ™ -^ ' Henry Maiden. To H.E. Hitchens. Esq., Auckland.
