BOYS TOGETHER.
Our London correspondent writes:—-. An old of Otago remarked to mc the other day on a rather curious reunion , in London. About forty years .ago, he said, in ono of the remotest parts of Otago, there were two boys attending the school who were the butts for the amusement of all the others. One of them, tho son of a cheery-faced baker in the town, had a shock of unruly hair; which his mother vainly endeavoured to keep trimmed] while the other, the son of a gold receiver, had . fair curly hair, which his watchful mother every morning sewed into a topnot. They went their separate ways in the world, and last week they met in London, one .being now a distinguished profereor of pathology in an English university (with a reputation for * discovering the bacillus of rheumatic fever), and the other a member- of the British House of Commons, with his foot welL on the rungs of the political ladder.
