The wife had felt her honour insulted ; hei husband bad been Been to wink at the said Mary she kept her temper as loig as she could, 'she nursed it even to kelp it warm," but when her husband begaa to gaumble about his breakfast, the lire kindled and the frying-pan, raised by the " Gieene_>ed Monster," came in contact with the offending head of the cottage. _aftter afew blows and words had been exchanged, the row subsided into a sullen calm, the conibatants went in doors, and the crowd qui.tly dispersed.

Of New Zealand politics yEgles in Austialasian expresses the following opinion : . 1 can't conceive anything more ludicrous, aid at the same time humiliating, than the relations existing between Sir Julius Vogel and "his New Zealand dependency' Ha party is so weak that without him it fall,. Hie opponents have been afraid|co dislodge hire, lest they have to administer the daring policy he had initiated. People who ques* tioned the safety of his large borrowing, couldn't deny thempelves participation in th* present prosperity it produced. And, after all, it appears as though Sir J. will leave tho colony to work out its own salvation as best it can."

We have already received by telegraph the announcement that the _Me_bourno ".age," had given currency to a rumour ot the acceptance by Sir Julius Vogel of an offev from Roth-childs. We learn by the Hero that the " Age " made the following comment on the announcement : —" Truly there is nothing so successful as success. Having floated the great New Zealand loan, Sir Julius, if the rumour be true, will have floated himself into the calm waters of a handsome competency for life. What they -will Bay in the Britian of the Pacific will probable matter little to one so well provided for in the Britain of the . Atlantic." Are you about to be married ? I Have you built a house ?
