From the first he occupied public positions—as Local Immigration

agent, the first Provincial Secretary, Commissioner of Crown Lands, and member of the first General Assembly of New Zealand. In 1851 Mr Cutten started the Otago AVitness, and continued to bo editor and proprietor of that Aveekly journal until in 1861 he AA-as joined in partnership by Sir J. (then Mr) A r ogcl, directly after Avhich the partners projected and established the Otago Daily Times, of Avhich Mr A r ogel took tho editorship. Of late years Mr Cutten lh'cd to some extent a retired life, except that he occupied the position of M.H.R. on, we think, two separate occasions—first as member for Peninsula, and then as member for Taieri (upon the resignation of Mr D. Reid). He contested the election for Peninsula against Messrs Seaton and Donnelly in 1881, but unsuccessfully. Mr Cutten Avas very widely knoAvn amongst all old Otagans, and in the days preceding the influx of the " new iniquity " Avas ahvays one of the leading public men. He leaves a widow and large family, all of whom aro grown up, to mourn his death.

Charles Rcade, as CA'crybody knows, is a firm believer in scrap books, and has an immense number of newspaper clippings, properly indexed, from which he obtains much of tho material for his stories.

The late President Garfield drew many of the anecdotes and incidents with which ho graced his speeches from a largo collection of scrap books, and Girardin, the French editor, probably carried the systcn to greater perfection than any other man, having Avhole rooms filled with indexed clippings.

The chief priest of San Lorenzo, at Romo, having announced his intention of holding a special service for the benefit of "sinful editors and journalists, their wives and children," the editors of Fanfulla thanked thereverend gentleman for his attention to their calling, and expressed their sorrow at not being able to assist, as they had to attend an oyster luncheon on the morning of his preaching.
