DESPERATE FIGHT WITH ' NATIVES.

| (BY TEL-GRAPH —PRESS ASSO CIATIO-T.)

Haweka, this day. The Pungareliu correspondent of the Hawera "Star" wires : -Inspector Pardy, Constables Twomyn, Henry. Roche and Rolls and a. force of 21 of the Permanent Artillery went to Parihaka to arrest Te Whetu. , When the attempt was made by the con stables a general rush of natives was made to i stop them, Constable Twoomey being thrown' "to the ground. Constable Roche got a severe handling. The order was given to the permanent force to fix bayouett, which checked the native men and women assisting. Te Whetu was thrown by Constable Rocke, but his wife lay on him to prevent the handcuffs being put on. The natives were at last overcome, and Jihree other prisoners w^ere taken and haud 'fleuffed for attempting to rescue. Te Whetu was takon to Pungarehu in a waggon, the others walking in charge of the Permanent Force.

The aiiair lasted from fifteen to twenty minute...

CHRiSTCHTrRQir, this day. This morning a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce Corh Exchange interviewed Mr Richardson re the proposed alteration in the size of standard grain sacks from 2401bs to 2001bs. , Mr Richardson said if the charge was generally demanded by those interested,thero would' be no difficulty in altering the railway regulation boxes to carry 17 new sacks for the same money as a charged for the carriage of ten of the present size. Sir Julius Vogel probably gpes to Dune din on Tuesday. After remaining there a week he will return addressing a meeting at Ashburtson en route. ' .-.;_.

This morning C. D. Harris and Thomas Porter were remanded; oh the | charge of stealing a large quantity of flannel, holland, and silesia from the D.I.Q, premises.

Captain Fenton held a meeting at the Naval boat shed, Devonport, 1 last night, for the purpose of enrolling members "in the Devonport Nayafs, -which be has been authorised to feepnstruct. It is stated that 17 men handed in their names, and this fact will be duly reported to Sir G. S. Whitmore. Unless two thirds of the former members join, wc understand that the intended recon struction must fail. So far, none*of the old members who resigned have signified their intention of re-joining the Company. Tbe American correspondent of the •'Sporting Life "tells of a colossal wager, said to.have,been.made.some time since between

Messrs Haggin and Baldwin, two of the •t noted of America's horse-breeders ancl rig men. It is said to have been a ■ wager of one racing stud and fixtures against the other, the largest winner in stakes during the year to take both estab lishments, and Mr Baldwin's team is said to be so far ahead that he can hardly, help winning. The wager is a big one, as will be readily understood by those who have any idea of the establishments in question— probably too big to be true, and may after all be merely one of the many advertising dodge* in which Our American cousins are so well versed. " Pendragon " in the London " Referee " writes:—" Takingcauseswhichmostreadily present themselves, such as tbe parks, their big plates, handicap and weight for age, and the multiplication of,, rich prizes, as providing the deteriorating influence, I may point out that they have removed almost unnoticed one of the old-fashioned Derby's greatest attractions to tbe racing man or sportsman. They have killed the dark horse, the animal who was of malice, or whatever you like.to call it, aforethought laid up in lavender to win the great prize. Then, as now, the main motive for .all deep and otherwise laid plans on the turf was to make money. The. Derdy, was one of the very few events on which a pile might be won in bets, and stood pre-eminent in weigh tof sweepstakes. Wi th so few oppor tunities for landing a great coup as then presented, no wonder that oldtime owuers adopted the waiting policy with smart youngsters. ;Nowadays, you may take it for granted that the owner of a well-engaged two-year-old will not lay him by any longer than he can help, but make hay- and, may I add, corn—if he can, as he goes along. This naturally leads to more nearly universal exposure of form, and the rttin of weight-for age racing." The demand for the great American remedy. Hop Bitters, in this part of the world has become so great that the Hop Bitters Com pany whose headquarters are at Rochester New' York, U.S A., havo been compelled to open a laboratory in Melbourne. It is in chargo of Mr M. H. Van Bergh, a gentleman of several years' experience with this Company and* tho trade may be assured of receiving, • goods equal to the parent house, and the most courteous treatment. The Hop, Bitters Com nany have establishments at London. I's 'is Antwerp. Belgium, Breda, Holland, and Toronto. ancl their Ajporican Bitten are nro-1 babij tbe beet: known medicine ia the "-world.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS.

Attempted Suicide iv Gaol

A man named Cornelius Johnson was arrested in Sydney on a charge of embezzle ment. A friend of Johnson's named Wiley called to see him about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. A constable thon opened the trap door of tho cell, where he was confined, when he was surprised to see an immense volume of smoke issu ing from the place The prisoner was discovered lying on the floor of the cell quite stiff" and apparently dead. Mean were taken to restore animation, which were eventually successful, and the would-be suicide was conveyed to the Sydney hospi tal. It appears that ho first attempted to hang himself by a line, which he made out of a handkerchief. He cut the handker chief in shreds, tied the pieces together, and placing' a loop round his neck, and another at the opposite extremity, into which he placed his foot, he then, by dragging at the line and straining his neck, endeavoured to accom plish his purpose. He found, however, that he could not succeed in this. He then obtained a match, with which he lighted the matting on the floor of the cell. This time the would-be suicide was more successful, and had almost effected his purpose when he was discovered.

Adventure with a Whale.

An exciting adventure with a whale occuxred during the cruise of the American whaling barque John and Winthrop, which has arrived at Port Jackson. It seems that the vessel was cruising south of Albany (W. A.) in September last, when a school of sperm whales was seen in the distance. Three boats were in the water almost immediately, and before an hour had elapsed two were made fast to an enormous bull, apparently the finest of the school. The weather when the boats left the ship's side was looking very dirty, and just beforo the harpoons were scut homo a gale set in. This rendered tho work of capturing the prize more difficult, and in tbe hurry to secure bin. the whale turned round and! attacked tho boats, biting one clean in two and staving in the other very badly. This was witnessed from the deck of the barque, and tho feelings of those on board seeing the whale attackingand smash ing the boats can be better imagined than described. No time was, however, lost in proceeding to tho rescue of the crews of the boats, who could be seen clinging to the wreckage. The third boat, then in the water, succeeded in picking up the crew of one boat, and the vessel beat up and saved the crew of tho other. Strange to relate, not one of the men was found to be injured, although several of them had a marvellous escape from being drowned, and were only just rescued in time.

LATTER DAY PROVERBS.

♦ PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY. £100 v. 13s 6d. The Waterbury Watch will keep mean time or apparent time, Greenwich or Hono lulu, Sidereal or Solar; in fact any time except tram time, which passes all under standing. ; Why should I give £5 or £10 for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing re pairs, and at the best of times cannot be re lied on, when I.can buy a perfectly reliable, stong, and handsome Waterbury Watch for 13 s 6d . ■ The Waterbury Watch is cheap because it contains less mechanism than any other, and can be repaired at less cost. But it poes 60 minutes to the hour regularly all the time ; that's why the factory has to be enlarged and the agencies extended. " As far as the Waterbury is concerned, I can give you my testimonial in a few words. The longer I wear the watch the better I like it. It is always true to time."— Edward Kennedy, Manager Berrima Colliery. Parents, teach your children to be in time. As soon as your boy can read the time of day, give him a watch ; teach him how to take care of it and always be in time. No need to buy a costly one. The Waterbury is the very best watch for the purpose, and will always keep the boy on time. The Waterbury Watch Company don't claim to give you an 18-carat Gold Chrono meter with your name engraved on it, and a Gold Chain to hang it on, for 13s 6d. But they do claim to give you a strong, accurate, durable timekeeper for the money, and don't you forget it. The Waterbury Watch is cheap, simple, strong, durable, massive, and exact. The case is plain nickel, wearing equal to silver, and the movement is guaranteed to keep time, if used with ordinary care, equal to the best English watches, ancl hotter than any o£ the cheap ones. The Waterbury would not be the cheapest watch in the world if it could not bo re paired cheaply when required. The Com pany undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exceeding 2s 6d. The Waterbury Watch is a keyless stem winder,' unequalled in the world for ac curacy, reliability, and the strength and beauty of its finish. It is sold everywhere for 13s 6d. .

Women and their Teeth.

I AM reminded of a conversation I had on the street corner lately with my friend, the dentist. " Considering how ercat an attrac tion io a woman pretty teeth are. and how fatal to her beauty defective teeth arc,'1 he said, " you would naturally suppose that women were, very anxious to take careof their teeth. Well, if you think that you are bhe worst-fooled man in the world. They would rather have a saucer of ice-cream or go to a matinee than to have a lOdol. solid gold filling in a front tooth which is on the point of destruction. To have a sweet breath is no consideration to them. The shop-girl will save up her scanty earnings for months to get a feather for her hat, or a pair of high-heeled gaiters, but not to have her teeth put in order. When, now and then, one of tliem applies to a dentist, she generally sacks out some practitioner who plugs the cavity with tissue paper, and veneers ri with gold, but whose charges are less* When, as a matter of course, she loses one or two front teeth she runs back to her tooth carpenter and insistfi on having every tooth in her head extracted, so that she can present a line appearance with a full upper ancl lower set of artificial teeth. I don't like to say theso things about the girls, but what I have told you is the naked truth. My advice to young men about to fall in love is the same as it would bo to a man about to buy a horse—look the animal in tho mouth."

Prosecute the Swindlers!!

If when you call for American Hop Bitters {see green twig of Hops on the white label and Dr. Soulc's name blown iv the bottle) the vendor hands out anything but American Hop Bitters, refuse it and shun that vendor as you would a viper ; and if lie has taken your money for auy thing else indict him for tho fraud and sue him for damages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the conviction.
