. Wellington is the New Jerusalem of 4he civil servant. He flourishes there as Tie does in no'olher parts of the colony. JSfo one ever yrt heard of a Wel« iingron newspaper a Wellington politician, or a Wellington demagogue •or agitator breathing a -suspicion of" civil service 'reform, or a* y 4hing bordering on economy or retrenchment, or a curtailment of the public exjpenditure. Ft is, indeed, to use a phrase of Mr Fronde's 'steeped in the dulness of official lethargy ' — 10 the very lips. —Tuapeka Times. • : Emm Pasha's so-called base ingratitude *(says a Star special.; has caused little surprise in Egypt, where it was noticed from the moment of their arrival that ail was snot— well — serene between the • rescued iand the rescuer,' That Stanley* thoroughly dominated Emm anyon>- could see, =and if tlisM-Jerman di<ln't lx>th fear and iale his capturt'r— I beg pnrdon — his ■preserver, I am assured his features bo* lied him. On one or two occasions the •old fellow threw off the mask altogetner. For example when one or Stanley's lieutenants was talking of their return to -Europe. Emm gruffly observed that he would be — several times over before he'd : go to either London or Brussels to piny the part of rescued captive to Stanleys gallant hero. This I heard from James Thomson, the explorer, who got it first hand from the said lieutenant. The " truth, of course, is that Etnin was forcibly abducted and tied to Stanley's ohariot wheels in order that the expedition might not lose its raison d'etre. The one thing the American did not calculate on was his victim acting as he has. He tries, naturally, to make the best of i the contretemps, but that the best is ridiculous unfortunately cannot be denied . The Red House still keeps to the front. The new lines in Ladies and Childrens Ulsters, " The Moa Boots," new Table Mats, Glassware and Vases, new Lamps ; in fact a host of all the latest novelties — must be seen to be appreciated. Not only is each article new, but good as well. — Apvr.
