none are 117 have no political articles,
but consist chiefly of advertisements, with local and
home news, and an occasional leader on local, agri-
cultural, or commercial matters. The editor of the
iVieuwsbode, of Sourabaya, was banished last year
for an infringement of the press regulations, in not
supplying the name of the writer of an article called
" A Dream," pretending to give a representation of
the position of Java in 1965, which was offensive to
the Government; and a subsequent editor was
banished for a similar reason. The papers are all sub-
ject to a stamp tax, and no numbers are allowed to be
distributed until a copy has been delivered to the
head of the local government and approved by him.
The three principal papers of Batavia do not average
above„,l,ooo to 1,200 subscribers in Java and the
neighbouring island, and publish a mail edition for
Holland. Their advertisements bring in their largest
revenue ; and though the subscription price is not
more than $l2 per annum, they manage to pay their
editors (generally lawyers) $5,000 and upwards a
year. Like the papers of most small countries, they
are continually attacking and abusing one another;
and all of them pasist in placing domestic occur-
rences in the order that propriety suggests—mar-
riages, births, and deaths—rather than iu the Eng-
lish way.—The Nation.

The great financial authority, the Seniaiite
Financiere, thus appreciates the Budget of 11.
could :—" The impression arising from reading this
important document is two-fold ;it excites admira-
tion at the fecundity of the resources of France, and
a sentiment of painful surprise at the laborious
efforts which it is necessary to make to keep our ex-
penses upon a level with those splendid and inde-
fatigable resources. With such elastic resources ag
ours, with resources increasing to the extent of 45
millions from year to another, and which, according
to the views of the Minister of Finance, will exceed
by 40 millions the expectations of the Budget of
1867, which could not be done by Governments
like those of England and the United States, accus-
tomed to assist by skilful and comprehensive mea-
sures, to advance the progress of the riches of their
country."
rAnvEnalsEmrsr.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--
Experience before Authority.— For nearly the third of 3
century have these remedies stood in the foremost rank
for overcoming ulcers, sores, swellings, rashes, and all
descriptions of skin diseases. At first the faculty de-
nounced these medicaments, but the experience of sufferers
soon overthrew all interested opposition. Those whom
Holloway's medicines bad cured told other invalids the
benefit they had derived from their use ; these in their
tura tried them, found equally satisfactory results, and
thus are these admirable curatives used and r rized
throughout the habitable globe. The ointment has always
been applied with the most marked success in erysipelas,
varicose veins, swelled ankles, and numberless other in-
firmities by which thousands around us are sorely op-
pressed.
