Mr Chucker's Pantaloons.

How far it is expedient, to convert a railway ■arrLge into a'dressing room is a question wh oil would quickly solved in the negative „continental Countries where guardsiwalk along the footboards and collect _ tickets while the train is in motion. But iv JSDg landa passenger who likes to change, his attire in a first-class compartment wpietjy secure from interruption ; at least, so thought Mr Barnaby Chucker, as he alighted from a hansom at Paddington and rushed across the platform, holdingarailway-rugand a carpet- Dft g which contained a complete change of raiment—to wit, dress-clothes. Mr Chucker had received an invitation to dine at Windsor with some friends of in fluential position, but being a busy man he had not found time to dress at hisjoflice in the City or at his chambers in the West-end. S epping into the train, he slipped a shilling into the hand of tbe guard, and said » Keep this compartment, pltase, as I want to dress." "All right, sir," answered the niad? and the next moment the tram started Mr Chucker then unlocked s carpet-bag and drew out a clean shirt, with other equipments necessary to b_9 perfect adornment. , ~•, .< • It must not be supposed that ha clid tlus without reluctance, for lie was a great stick- Saboutalltheproprietiesotlite. lloobiected to seem* things out of place or doing things out of season. If hehad caughthis best friend changing his pantaloons in a ««llwa^{;^ raiee? he would have thought meanly of him for being of disorderly habits, and so now be iadged himself with a candid seventy for not liavtii" better regulated his own time. it an accident occurred," mused he, as he re moved his coat and waistcoat, "I wonder what would be thought of me for being un dressed in a train ?" ; This reflection made him redden. He was ashy middle-aged man, with large red ears and a fat Hoi id face. The effort of pulling oil his boots always suffused his countenance with ciimsjii, and it did so now, insomuch that, what with the color that came from physical exertion aud that which resulted from a troubled conscience, Mr Baruaby Chucker looked truly distressed. Having removed his bouts, he denuded himself of his trousers. This was a trying moment, for if an accident had happened then —. " Why, why, dear me," ejaculated Mr Chucker, at this stage of his cogitations, " 1 —I think the train is stopping." The train wa9 stopping in effect, as Mi Chucker might have foreseen that it would do, since hu was not travelling by express, but lie had been so enwrapped in his self-up braiding thoughts tlnvt he had not even noticed the iiist slackening1 of the engine's speed. He now found himself in the midsl of a very litter of clothes, and with no time to re-die-s himself before the train .topped. He had todecidu hastily whether he would steam alongside Kalini; platform in liis shirt sleeves or minus hi.s pimUJoons. _He chose wisely inhuddliugoii his coat, which he but toned up, whilst he covered his lower man with his rail way-rug. This done he collected as many of his belonyiiiys as he could into his bag, kicked his boo:s uuderaseat, and tried to look diguilied. , '1 lie train had come to v stand-still now, aud a guard opeued the dooi of the carraige in which our poor hero w> .-t sitting, aud cried : " There's room here, sir, for you and this lady. '■ "Hie, guard !" exclaimed Mr Chucker, leaning out in honor, "y«u told me Ishouid have this compartment to myself." Unfortunately for our modest friend, th • j>uard to whom lie had given the shilling was not the pne appointed to travel with the train. These little mistakes often occur, and lead to unpleasant consequences. The present guard said bluntly : "I can't give you a compartment to yourself unless you pay for it, sir. It's against the rules. Here, madam, step in, pleasu." A lady who looked in very delicate healih got into the carriage aud a gentleman with her. Mr JBaruaby Chucker felt ready to swoon. Before he could inform the guard of his readiness to pay for a whole compart ment sooner than have his privacy intruded upon, the train was oil' again, and Mr Chucker fell to reflecting how he should ell'ect his change of carriages at Slough, now that he was in no lit state to step on to <*i platform. The train in which he travelled was not bound straight for Windsor, but for Birmingham, and Mr Chucker would have to change at Slough if he wished to dine with his friends that evening. Alas I a more urgent difficulty than that involved in a change of carriages soon pre sented itself to him ; for no sooner had the train started than the lady who had just stepped in began to moan and to shiver, eay ing that she felt cold all over. . Her husband sought to quiet her, but it was all of no use, for she was really ill. At last the poor man looked in dispair at Mr Chucker, nnd said : ' Excuse me for talcing a great liberty, sir ; but would you be «o kind as to lend my wife your rug ? We started in a hurry aud forgot to bring our. As it is not a cold day, perhaps you would not mi.id obliging us as far as tildugh, where I shall be able to l_uv a rug ?" "Jill?"1 grunted Mr Chucker, stupefied. Thereqtii^t completely staggered him, and hecoulrl find no woidi in which t> reply. " Would you kindly lend this lady your rug?"' icpeat-d the gsutletnan, ratheraston- Hlicd. : " Hoo !" growle. Mr Chucker, in a voice like a bear. It hud just occurred to him that the safest way to get out of h.ia difftcul ties would ba to than! being mad. A Frenchman would lijyve nuietjy beckoned the geutleinftu to the other side "of the carri age, and would have explained the dilemma with a laugh. But * nglishmen are persons full of niceu.s&, and Mr Chucker dared not confess to a stranger that he had n.o trousers on. He repeated " Hoo " two. or three time over, and Jhis stratagem, suceeded perfectly for both his fellow.pasfongers became con vinced that tlioy woe travelling with a lunatic . ■ »■ The lady began to sen ami Her nerves were so unstrung that they could not stand this extra shock; and that foolish Mr Chucker made things worse b.v the ftxity with which he stare <\ at h^r. 'ihe gentle man aimed hfou«.elf with nn umbiella to pro tect his wife. Sir Chucksr, entering into the spirit, of his part, caught up his own umbrella aud brandished it. The travellers wereui these attitudes .of ■vigilance' aiy.i menace when the train once more siac^ened speed, and Han well was teamed, Instantly the gentleman jumped out on the o i-aide of the Una, so as not to p ass Mr Chucker and heltxyi out his wife, whose ITfn* , md slven Place t0 a fit of shivmuL'. Mr Chucker .hiught himself well rid. of hig mess, for the train would go ou again, and he should be able to complete his dressing. By way of of msuijug privaoyfor the remainder of his journey .he-began by pulling the car riage.buuda down. ': AlasJ ho was not to get off so easily as he , bad anticipated. Already there was a, com motion on. the platform. :i he husband of the tainting lady had explained, patters to the station-master ; sonio.' porters and guards had overheard hivu; and the rumour cir culated t_a.t there was a lunatic in tbe train Some passengers, poking their heads out oi the camaKe-windo.ws, protested against traveling in the company of a __an° wh might commit some mad act-sot tha trak on fire, throw himself out, or emit a" fu" ; noises. .The station-master was oW gS'S : pacify these rnurmurer. by .tridiug towards : the alleged mauiac'si c^n^ige.

By tho kind invitation of Profoosor Wallon hurgandDr. Grant, tho editor of thisjournal, in comuany with the editor of the Saturday Adver tiser, viiited their consulting rooms, at tho Criterion Hotel, ycetnrduy morning. Tho first caso hliown was that of a Miss White, ago 11 years, tlio (laughter of a settlor at Oamaru, who has b'jen totally blind for years. This young lady li»h bemi under tho treatment of those c'ovor oculists for three days, and wonderful to say, hor eyesight has been perfectly restored. Tho father if tho1 girlasdurod ua: that ho had plaoedher undc tho care of eoveral medical men -> ho had failed to do her any good, despite tho money ho had lavished upon hor. The next was a cawe of Ml^s HuKhes, a Dunodin resident, who stated that ohu bad been d'af for a period ef ov«r three yenra. ytrango to Buy, Bhe has only been under treatment for oiKht days, and her huarniK has boon fully restored. This fortunat'J Kjrl is nearly In oestacies ovor her uood fortu^b. Tho no«t snbjiior. uncL-r troat ntent was a Übouror. named Patrick Fr*ticiS; working at Logan's Point, wlio informed us that Intterly he was htruek in the rignt eye with a utono. by which ho lost his sight and of lato Mb hvft cyo has been materially utlccted by the blind 1.110; but, thanks to tho skill of Irofessw Wallcnburg, ho h»s now re covorod thi B'ght of his two eyed, and inablo to discern tho smallest print. Herman Schuitz, of Ily.lo, was tho lost patient Introduced. Ho stilted that he had been totally deaf frr yoarp, and that ho had boon only under treatment for a fcwdnyi?, and now ho could hoar plainly. These gentlemen havo numerous other cases under treatment. Tho ciiscs that wo havo int tanccd should bo suflloicnt to remove any doubt from tho most Bceptical. All tho pnt'ents that nro now under treatment have been tampered with by tho medical profession with no satisfactory result, and this, in the major portion of cosps, causes n>orc ntrgravation, and makes etloctual euro moro dilllcnlt. The abovn coses c'onrly ilHHtratu that, Dr. Grant and Professor Wnl lenburgare, without doubt, what they profoss to be—Oculists, Auiists, and, Sppclaiists. Vo wmild stn>rigfly recommend tlioso who are either ailllctcd with blindness or deafness to consult the?o giintlemen at once, as their slay heio is limited.—Evening Tribune, Dunedin, September 2Hh, 1579. Wo can conscientiously recommend those suffering from ucufness or other ailments that Dr. Gru'it hag made a special study of, to pay him a visit, when, if curuble Dttticnts, they may certainly expoet relief. »'.n instauco cumc uiidi r our not co on Thursday, i the ca»o of a man named Charles Swanson, wh has been very deaf •for threo years, but, after ten dny«' tro'tmcut, can now hear perfectly evon the lowest wh'sper. Tho ctire is a rather reruarkab'o <no, as he has been under tho core of many medical men, but has received no benefit whatever from thuir treatment. "New Zoalander," Deor-mbar 27th, 1879. Mr Ernest D'Egvilla Michau called at our oflico jo'torday, and stated that he had been blind with hia right eye all his lifetime. Hear ing aboui, Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenbuw, tho oculists, who are now on a visit to this city, he determined to give them a trial. Ho had only boon under Dr. Grant's trostment ten or e'evon days when ho found tint ho could sco large objects nt Borne distanoa. Mr Michau slated that he had been under tho treatment of some of the best medical'men at home, but had not received iho slightest benefit; We aro at nil time 9 cha'-y of accepting details of " Wondei fu cures," but tho j oung man who cilled at onr ofllce aopearqd to bo telling the truth, end was exceedingly pTateful to Dr. Grant for tho relief he! has already experienced.—" New Zeala d Times " 25th December 1879.

Tho nick man was evi dently uncotsciouH of his having legs, and his brain was seriously affected as if with lunacy. In this deplorable state he was kindly brough from tho islands to Aunkland by Mr H. Hender son In the schooner Coronet. Captain Moeller and, being a Gorman, he was received by tho German Consul, G. Yon dpr Heyde, Esq., and placed in the District Hospital, where ha re ceived treatment for three weeks with no indica tion of improvement, his case being pronounced by one and all a most hopeless one. The captain of the Corono f, knowing that extraordinary cures had been effected by tbe use of Hitchons' Celebrated Blood 'Restorer requested the proprietor of the Blood Restorer to take the case in band, and a contract was entered into of " No euro, no pay." Mr Hitchens prooeoded to the Hospital, examined the invalid and found him in an apparently dying state with scarcely a spark of life left. Mr Hitchens oVdered the suffering man to bo removed to his (Mr H.'b( private residence, where his wants could personally be attended to b~ Mr Hitohens '1 he latter administered the medicine (the Blood Restorer) and used tho ointment freely. Mean while clergymen called, pronouncing tbe case b lyond thb power of man to effect a cure. How ever, after fix weeks the effect of the medicine became wonderfully apparent, : Tho Blood Restorer bad acted steadily but surely on the blood; the deadly impurities wore gradually eliminated from the system until the stream'of life flowed unchecked in its natural channels over the entire nlivn. The brain be came dear and active, and the limbs ones again roioloed in natural circulation, the patient rising . to his feet cured of diseases whioh had battled the skill of leading physicians, a living proof of the wonderful hoaliug powers of Hitohens Celebrated Blood Restorer. TESTIMONIAL.] Auckland, N,55. To 11. A. H. Hitchens, Esq. Bafore leaving Auckland on my return voyage to the Islands, I have to perform the pleasing duty of acknowledging tho surprising cure I have received at your hands. Coming to Auckland as I did a dying man, being palsied and generally unconscious, and hoarinß from others that no hope of recovery w* s held out by medical men, 1 look upon you . now as the preserver of my life. I am convinced that to you ■ medicine alonp ia due the credit fpr my now being a living man. I Beg tip thank you most sincerely for the kind ness you have shewn me whilo stayinst in your houso, and in conclusion would earnestly re oamroend sick people to use your Blood Kestorer, as it is the most extraordinary purifier of the blood I ever heard of, or met with in my travels. It one of the many good gifts of a beneficent Creator to his suffering children on this nnrth. W. OPPERMAN. Auckland, Deoember 19, 1879. Signed in the presence g{ Q.
