The following is told by the London correspondent of the Christchurch Tele^ graph : — I heard rather a good story about John Burns the other day. At a meeting Burns addressed a little while ago, he hnppened to be wearing a new SViit Of ClOtbes, and this seems to have caught the attention of one of the audience, who did not altogether credit John's disinterestedness, and in the midst of the speech he interpolated a question, " Where did you get them clothes ?" The audience were indignant, but Burns having quieted them, turned to his questioner and explained. He had not bought them. When his counterfeit presentment in wax was recently added to the Tussaud collection, the management, with a characteristic penchant for realism, asked him what he would take for one of his suits of clothes. Now he had but one in the world, and that was very shabby, so a bargain was struck that Tussaud's fhould replace it with a new suit* " And that," he concluded, " was how I came by it.
