Look for the signature and address of tho pro prietor upon labels of bottles purporting to con tain Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, and observe whether the same are deflciontly executed or not. If anything be lacking, you may know them for shams and reject them. Swindlers are putting up bad liquors in bottles which previously held tho most salutary medicinal beverage in existonce.

" Ghollah'a Great Indian Cures" when patiently used, are equal to the correction of every evil influence at'work in the system. They are tho most reliable and safe means of ultimate re covery that have ever been presented to the public. The cures effected by them are some thing marvellous. The many testimonials re ceived by the proprietor, copies of which can be seen at any chemist's, fully prove the assertion.

The cable has been restored, and St. Peters burg dates of Friday last give less hope of a peaceful understanding. Authoritative statements published in. the Russian capital fix terms of withdrawal from Constantinople which England aud Turkey are not likely to yield. As this statement was made sub sequent to the departure of the Russian Ambassador from London tor St. Peters burg, and after the hopeful annonncment of Sir Stafford Northcote, it is probable that Count SchouvalofFs special mission has failed to establish an understanding, and the chances of war proportionately increase. A Berlin telegram conveys intelligence of an attempt to shobt the Emperor of Germany. The despatch does not supply any explanation of the motives of the assassin, who was arrested, but it is well known that the military King of Prussia is not a favourite with lovers of constitutionalism and_ liberty in studious Germany, and the crime may have a political cast. The military despot ism established by Bismarck's policy is one under which ah intellectual people like the Germans are sure, sooner or later, to chafe. Only a patriotic love of Fatherland has hitherto reconciled them to the burden, which has been made unnecessarily harsh, in order to realise the Bismarckian ideal and ambition. The death of King William mi^ht change the whole German policy in. relation to the Eastern question, as it is pretty well" understood that the astute ChancefHor is less infected with Muscovite love fckan bis master, the uncle of the ; Czar.

MR BA^ANO?j|in 'addressing his con atituente''? at JWanganui, gave some ltidicatiops of the Government intentions. He looked hopefully to a peaceful settle ment of the liusso-Turkish question reported by cable, as likely to remove those financial difficulties which, embarras Government operations on tne London money market. Mr Ballance cleared away, by express denial, the rumour that the Min istry contemplate an attempted ; res toration of provincialism. He - also corrected the impression which has been industriously circulated, that manhood suffrage means the enfranchisement of ruffianism. The principal features of the proposed franchise, of "which he could authoritatively speak, were leasehold franchiso, ratepayers' franchise (under which Maoris should be included, with only a right to TOte as long as they retained their qualification), household franchise, and residential franchise (in which the lodgers' franchise uhd miners' rights franchise should be included). A residence of three months in the colony he would hold sufficient to qualify a person under the last-mentioned one. These qualifi cations, combined with registration, con : atitute a form of< manhood suffrage very different from the personal qualifica tion, and, with a good system of purging the rolls, would meet the main objection to a franchise practically universal in its application. If Mr Ballance expresses the Government policy on incidence of taxation, the rate to be imposed on property will fall on the number of acres and not upon improvements. He opposed an income tax. The measures to be introduced will com prise a Native Lands Bill designed to encourage settlement in small blocks, and hamper speculation ; a licensing law, pro bably permissive in character, but with a compensation clause; andpossibly aJjill making parliaments triennial. The Government will also submit a vote of £100,000 for school buildings through out the colony. Upon finance, the Treasurer was enabled to promise a surplus, partly secured by savin- s, and he hoped that in the future the Govern ment will be able to bring revenue and expenditure permanently within equal limits by further retrenchment, and making railways more remunerative.

An announcement iv another column informs the electors of Franklin that Mr Harris has retirod in favour of Mr Hobbs. Mr Harris determined upon coatesting the seat solely in the interests of the Grey party, which he has consistently and actively supported, and finding that the views held by (Mr Hobba are almost identical Avith his own, he has no further desire to press . a contest which would split the vote and possibly- do an injury to the cause which both most sincerely desira to promote. Thisi course is honourable to Mr Harris, the more so that ho had received encouraging promises of support throughout the district, and was accorded a favourable reception at last night's meeting. The Grey party will now be unanimous in their Bupport of Mr Hobbs, and it is not likely that a contest will take place, or that it would meet with any success if attempted. Ffanklin electors may be congratulated upon having bo good a choice as that which is still left them by Mr Harris's retire: ment.

Letters on the Mount Albert complaint, the late Naval boat race, and City Accounts, appear on our fourth page to-day. Mr Ewington desires to acknowledge 10s from F. W., and 10s from O. N. E. for Mrs Bin.

The Court Zealaudia coucert and ball will be held to-morrow evening in the Lonie btreet Hall, in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the Court. The committee have exerted themselves to the utmost in anticipation of a successful entertainment. Ajfirst rate class of musicians will form the orchestra, and a number of ladies and gentlemen will assist with their vocal, literary, and musical talents. The conceit will open exactly at eight o'clock, and re freshments will be provided,«sree of extra charge, during tho night. Tho ball will commence'at ton o'clock, or as soon as tho entertainment closes, under the manage ment of Mr T. McEwin, M.C. We learn with much satisfaction that the " Zealaudia Court" has made additions to its roll of members, and is in a flourishing condition. As every eifort has been made in the circu lation of tickets, there is uo reason to doubt the result of tho Foresters' soiree and ball. The annual gatherings of this thriving young Court have always been noted for their excellence and good management. We would adyiso all who lovo thorough enjoyment to take the advantage of this opportunity of sharing id the feativites of. Court Zealandia to-niorrow evening.

At Hclouavillo the other day, a Maori was carryiijg a collarless clog. The active constable at once dropped upon the aboriginal, and insisted upon the payment of 5s for the collar. This was refused on various protests; among others it was urged that the dog belonged to Babylon (a native settlement up the Kaipara river). Constable Naughton did not care if tiie dog belonged to Jerusalem ! The native said only Euro peans paid for collars. Constable N aughton replied that a similar privelege would in future be granted, the natives. The Maori ■was indignant at "the idea of its being called a privelege. He said " Too much gammon !" It was explained to him that the dogs in the township were .nuisances, and the Government wished to keep them down. Maori dogs were also as great a nuisance. The retort of the Maori is worthy the res pectful attention of the members of the Acclimatisation Society. He said : " Why do the Government not have collars for rats and pheasants, which are greater nuisances ? " He added : " Suppose Maoris were to charge Government with ass-collar for every pheasant -which is found destroy ing their maize plantations, &c, a nuisance natives aro forbidden to destroy, until all the injury is done." This brilliant idea was a poser for Mr Constable Naughton, who began to feel "Small potatoes," in the presence of this dusky and irrepressi ble lawyer, but tho finishing touch was given to these conclusive arguments, as Mr Naughton's pig turned the corner, and came grunting up to the group. The native, with vehemenco exclaimed, " Why don't you put a collar on your pig?" The new City West No. 1 School has at ength been completed, and, avc believe, passed by the architect. A retaining wall is still, however, to be erected at the rear, and the yard laid with asphalt. Our reporter was courteously, shewn over the building yesterday, by Mr J. W. Can, Chairman of the Committee. It is con structed much after the same style as the City East School, the plans being prepared by Mr E. Mahoney, architect. The entrance is from Nelson-street, and the door opens iuto the room for the advanced division of girls and boys,—the classes being mixed. This room is 40ft by 20$ ft., and will accommodate about 100 pupils. It is, like the other rooms, supplied with small moveable desks, and fire-places. On each side are wings for the second and third divisions, each being 45ft by 23ift, and capable of accommodating about 120 each. Each room is supplied with a lavatory, or washing-room, and cloak-room. Water is laid on to the former from tanks in the rear. Besides these there is a class-room, 16ft square, and a stationery room, 16ft by 10ft. The roof is slated, and presents a very pretty appearance the slates being worked in several fanciful designs. The school is supplied with a good toned bell, whicn will be very useful in calliag the children to school. There are two verandahs at the rear and one in front of the building. The work of con structing the school has on the whole been carried out very satisfactorily by the con tractors. The number of children on the roll of the City West No. 1 School is 238, and the average attendance 150. It is to be hoped that very soon a suitable building will be erected for the City West No. 2 School, which has a much larger attendance than No. 1. Mr Harrison, the principal, at present experiences great difficulty in find ing room for the large number of scholars under his care.

The Hon. Sir George Grey, accompanied by Mr W. Mitchell, Private Secretary, arrived in town at ten o'clock last night by special train, after an absence of nine days, upon a most fatiguing missiou. We are glad to learn that, notwithstanding the arduous nature; of his recent undertaking, in his present weak state of health, he has felt better during the last day or two. It is his intention to remain quiet at Kawau until Sir John Coode's arrival in the Hinemoa, shortly oxpected. The Hon. J. Sheehan, it will be observed by telegram, remained in Waikato to settle various native matters.

\Count De Zaba's next lecture will be given, free of charge, on Thursday evening next; the subject on which the Count will treat in his intelligible and eloquent manner, will be the " Method of Studying Universal History," with the view of assisting the powers of memory. The lecturer has earned a reputation by his comprehensive and lucid sketch of the brave but unfortu nate Poles ; honco wo expect to see the large room of the Institute crowded by a respectable and intelligent audience. Young men especially, should not miss the oppor tunity of hearing the experiences of a scholar, and a careful student of history.

The young men associated with St. Thomas's Missiou Church, Union-street will hold a meeting to-morrow evening in the vestry, for the purpose of forming a Mutual Improvement Society, and accepting sub jects of essay and debate for the first session. We understand that several intelligent young men of the neighbourhood have inti mated their intention of joining the associa tion. " In this world man's only state of proba tion,"is the subject of a lecture to be de livered by Mr J. Tyerman, on Wednesday evening, the 14th hist., iv the Albert Hall, Darby-street. Chair to be taken at half past seven o'clock. Parliament is further prorogued to the 15 th June. The Government haye telegraphed home for eight 64-pouudera to be stationed at Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland. . In pursuance of the determination ot the G.ovemmont to mako civil servico reduc tions, Mr Wiggins, head of the Stamp Department, has received leave of absence -with a view to other employment, and further notices are expected.

Detective Jeffrey and Sergeant Major Mason, last evening arrested a young man-o'-war sailor at the Eagle Inn, on a charge of deserting from H.M. schooner Conflict. On the way to the station, he resisted strongly, and Detective Grace and Constable Hogan arrived, and the man was carried to the station. The Sergeant Major and Detective Jeffrey sustained several bruises in tho struggle, and the uniform of the former was partially destroyed. A terrific gale commenced at Greymouth on Saturday morning, blowing down fences, chimneys, and verandahs. No damage was done to the shipping. The Howick Drum and Fife Band has made great progress during "the last six months under the superintendence of Band master Shanaghan. The members have been very assiduous in practising, and can now consider themselves good musicians. Several "marches out" have been held, to the delight of the residents in the district, of Pakuranga. In allusion to the success of McLean and

;Vs bulls at the Sydney Exhibition, the 1 'lairman, at the public dinner, held in c unection with the show, said : " Tho ...ttle were very nearly equal to former years. Even if they were not so, was it not well to see and find why they were not so ? We could see what the other colonies could do, not only those near us by land, but those who had to send some distance by water. Some of tbem had taken away the laurels that we expected to have granted to gomo of the cattle owners here, but good would result from it." Sir John O'Shauassy, in proposing the toast, —"Prosperity to the Agricultural Society of New South Wales" said, " This Exhibition was ono of the most successful held in Sydney, especially with regard to the cattle. The competition, especially from New Zealand, showed that they must look out for their laurels. The Exhibition brought men trom all the neighbouring colonios together, and tho social relations thus {produced would do a great deal of good. Homo he knew had to secure bods two months beforehand, and ninny got none at all, he believed. He proposed prosperity to the New South Wales Agricultural Society." Mr Payne, of New Zealand, returned thanks ; and while oxpressiuy himself very much gratified with the Exhibition, said hehad not expected to carry off the prize for cattle, and his success would induce nim to come again. One of the good effects of the New Zealand success, is an agitation in favour of relaxing all restrictions on the importation of stock. An essay, read on the subject in connection with the exhibition, observed : —" Our show of horsed, cattle, and sheep this year, (1878) is ono that calls for some notice. I much doubt if a finoi- one has ever been held in the colony of Australia, and it is evident that our stock-breeders are alive to the sub ject. New Zealand breed being up to the fore, it is to the general pastoral interest that my remarks now tond most particularly to apply, and although tiruo will not allow me to point out with minuteness hints that migkt be useful, yet sufficient will be explained to show the value of importation of fresh blood, united with attention, food, and water necessary and absolutely re quired, to preserve and perpetuate stock of first-class breed, producing first-quality wool, and sweet, excellent flavoured flesh."

Wehaveagain toremind our readers of the Ponsonby Wesleyan Sunday-school tea and public mooting this evening at 6.30 in the Ponsonby Hall. Ministers and others will give addresses, and the Key. R. Hazleton (M.A.) will be the principal speaker. The place is expected to be very thronged.

We understand that a race is on the tapis between H.M. schooner Conflict and tho clipper island schooner Mazeppa, owned oy Messrs O wen and Graham. We are further informed that the Albatross and Winifred wish to join in the race. It may oe hoped that the event will come to maturity, as it would no doubt be a very exciting centest. The plan of the Domain may be seen by intended designers of the new road at the music warehouse of Mr Brown, secretary, Shortland-street. We have received from Mr A. Saunders, the Auckland ajjent, a copy of the annual report of the Australian Mutual Provident Society, presented at the recent meeting in Sydney.

Hugh Sullivan- was charged with unlaw fully failing to provide adequate means of support for his wife and three children under 14 years of age. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mrs Sullivan said she had only rsceived 21s 6'd from her husband during the last month. He was a fisherman, and very good to her when sober. Last week he earned 30s, but all she got was 2s from his mate. She did not wish to press the charge if only he would come home and work for her. Mr Barptow : Is there any chance of you turning over a new leaf, Sullivan ? Sullivan : Yes sir ; I was going to my work last night when I was stopped. Mr Barstow : I will make no order now, and allow you to be discharged; but mind, if you are brought up again you will get no mercy. THE COWS OK TEATIUS. Teatius Francis Gtway was summoned for depasturing his two cows on the unen closed laud off Alton Road. Fined 2s 6d and costs. A NEGLECTED CHILD. Mr Russell applied to have Alexander McDonald, 15, committed to the Industrial' Home till of age. He could satisfy the Court that the parents were still unfit to take charge of him. Mr Russell then re ferred to the immoral life led by the mother. It was true she had been lately married, but the marriage had been witnessed by such bad characters, that he thought he was justified in saying that no conversion had taken place. Mr Stickley said he wished to have McDonald recommitted till he was of age. His mother had had notice of the applica tion. He told her himself. She was quite willing for the boy to stay at the home. The father was a very bad character. He cursed the witness, and used most oppro brious language to him. . ■* Detective Jeffrey said he knew the mother, aud the present father. They were both bad characters. Mr<-Barstow made the necessary order. This was all the business.

THE FRANKLIN ELECTION.

Messrs Hobbs and Harris, candidates for the representation of Franklin, last night addressed the electors at Tuakau. t Mi- Arthur Brown occupied the chair. Between 70 and SO were present. Mr Hofebs spoke first. He made allusion to the fact that he was a native of the colony. It Mas not electioneering clap-trap when he said he was asked by many to come forward. He accepted the candidature as a matter of duty, although of course influenced by a laudable mnbition to represent the district in the legislature of the colony. If returned they could at least rely upon strict attention to the duties. His desire was to fill the part of an honest politician, and he trusted he would neither disgrace hia father's name, his own name, nor the electors of Franklin. (Cheers). He considered that Sir George Grey's policy should have a fair trial. The country from north to south would, he believed, insist upon that; he knew tliat it was tbe desire of the great body of the electors of Franklin to do so. He promised that in all matters where he believed the Premier to be right, he should give him a continued and un divided support, and wherever his own opinion was somewhat at variance, he would always consult the Auckland party, and vote with it on ail party questions. No other .man but Sir George Grey could have done what he had accomplished. Especially he referred to the crowning triumph in the King country. He (Mr Hobbs) resented as an insult the statement that he was bound hand and foot to ,Sir George Grey—he was too independent for that— but he could support him because he be lieved him to be right, and so long as he con tinued of that opinion, it was necessary for the peace and prosperity of the country that Sir George Grey should remain at the head of its affairs. He was devoting his energies and abilities at the risk of his life for our' welfare, and it was the duty of. the people ,to rally round him. (Cheers.) With regard to manhood suffrage he was not prepared to go the whole way unless a safeguard were provided in the .form of a residence qualification. If six months'

residence were made iniperativehl " pledge his vote. He endorsed Sir \vlfruld: Fitzherberts opinion that they did „ r^m a loafer suffrage. Touching taxatS? ??**' was no doubt that the increased liaVr ®te of the colony would necessitate iZI ies revenue. Men should be made to bute according to their means Itwoo^* fair that one class should only hiT tm" He did not like an income tax--in ' Xefll country—it would come hard upon * Deir with a small salary and large family * ceruing the Counties Act, he would «? ttr a party to forcing it on the * c without a distinct understandingffie miiin roads should become a « i at charge. He thought it a matter foSW that when the Provincial Governm.^eßret abolished Mr Allright's public wX.ffi* was retained, as the provincial roari* ~ ,$' not have got into such a bad fi^i many pounds would have been sated Ti; did not want two local taxing Do ' w : either the counties or highway hnnrj give way. On education he wa? i? W' of the free and secular system j?" 011* elusion he trusted that no personal hitt° U*" ness would be imported into the' cbnte^ (Cheers.) »«««, Mr Harris, m opening, remarked on ft, personal friendship existing between-M* Hobbs and himself, and endorsed V ' expressions of gooo. feeliDg. He had heZ requested to stand for the electorate in tK | interests of the Grey party, and that ate? had influenced him in coming forward Referring to prominent public questions' he was opposed to the introduction further immigrants just yet, belie Tine thaf there was ample labour for the cabit^V' available to employ it. He was in fawmt. of continuing public works of a reDHT ductive character, and thought that main cross roads from coast to coast ousht to be constructed by the Government He' ° was also of opinion that encouragement ' should be offered to manufactures by wav of bonus. A country destitute of mamifae. tures was wasting its natural wealth. The question was important to an agricultural district for manufactures created a market for means of utilising the products of thesoil On education he felt bound to support the present secular system, although he felt • some regret that it was necessary from the circumstances of the country to do so. He was of opinion that the powers of. the-- Acclimatisation Society were too large The shooting gof birds should not be post. poned till the 21et, as they were very destructive to clover and grass:1 : seed, occasioning much hardship to poor ' settlers. (Cheers). He believed in, an income tax on all salaries over £200, from' ■ whatever source derived. He was in favour of opening up blocks of good land on deferred payments, so that small settlers might be able to obtain freeholds. The Counties Act was only fit to light the firej He had opposed it, and would continue fo^ do so. The powers of Road Boards should he extended, and these, if the main road*1} were maintained by Government, would, he thought, be quite sufficient for the local?;-' government of out districts. (Cheers.) Both gentlemen were well received, and r votes of thanks were accorded for their addresses. A vote of thanks to the chair.;" man^terminated the proceedings.

ABOUT THE TWO THOUSAND.

The Two Thousand Guineas Stakes is «}»; first of the five great (or as "they are "f^H , termed " classic") races for three joaxoios.."' was instituted in 1309, and is there/ore 69 yea™ old. The subscription is iust twice that °* %%■■■■■ ; Derby, betas? 100 soys. each, half forfeit, so tea" , the race is generally worth a very large suw. In 1874 the value of the Two Thousand was £4,200; in 18:5, £1,550; in 1876, £4,100; aDLt | 1877, £5,200. The race is run at NewmarKeWf. * over the famous Rowley Mile, one of the mo» ,>:>,: beautiful courses at the headquarters °* J£?-';-. turf. The field has consisted latterly of rroui- , 10 to 14.start9rs. The largest field *a£ ever , started for this event numbered 18. y"8^" in 1859, when Mr Johnstone's Pretender jwau the roaring Belladrum by half a length, and tn» ■ outeider, Perry Down, who started at 66 to i, «<£ • third. During the last ten yea's the favourite w, the Two Thousand has been six times ? uc9^ s ,ot6 > .
