MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR

Subsequently, in company with her first husband, MK Jas. Maxwell, she travelled overland to Wairoa, Hawke's Bay, and then came on to Auckland! the town-at that time-being full of refugees from Heko's'wars. She settled "for a time at Lucas's Creek, and afterwards resided at the Thames for many years. Going'to' Hokianga' in 187!), the deceased resided there until hei death; She had a large family,.' and leaves' many descendants.-

A DRAWN BATTLE. One can tumble upon stories in the small salerooms of-London which are more strange and more personal. than anything which happens at Christie's. Something' impelled me'o'ne evening lately (says a writer in an English journal) to look in at a saleroom which has no fame, and is indeed mostly occupied in disposing of second-hand office furniture. < I could scarcely believe my eyes when I saw the things that were this time awaiting sale. Sheraton and Hepplowhite sideboards of tho most dignified design and exquisite inlaying, wardrobes and tall-boys and looking-glasses glowing with the delicate old colour of inlaid woods and enamel-like painting, tables of mahogany and rosewood and satinwbod, and fine old chairs which . shone with that particular quality of polish which is as unattainable without years as a college lawn is without centuries. What was it all doing in an obscure auction-room? Was any explanation to be got from the fact that there wereTalso "scores of stags' heads and stuffed fish, and that in a corner one oven found pieces of luggage with railway labels'all over them, and a green canvas. hold-all lettered "So-and-so, —th Hussars," dropped upon the floor? Evidently a great house had been stripped clean from the gunroom to the attic, and someone was shrinking from the publicity of the big rooms where furniture liko that usually noes. I asked when the sale was to be. The attendant at the rooms did not know—it had already been put off twice. So there was evidently a fight for saving it all. Hut two days were appointed at last, and the first one came and. many of the beautiful things and many poor things (the shooter of stags had little taste for pictures) were sold. The second day came, and the dealers found that i the fight was not lost after all. There w-as no second day's sale. So it ends in a drawn battle, but (he great house h.ts had some heavv casualties. It will bear its scars in the empty ■ places in its rooms.
