Those of Sir W. Russell’s own political household not only did not honor him, but recently deposed him from his position as leader of the Opposition. That under such circumstances he should be recommended by the Government to the King for a Knighthood is therefore as creditable to them as flattering to him.— Napier Telegraph. The Mayor of Wellington (Mr J. G. W. Aitken) and Mr Thomas McKenzie (the first white man to land on the site of the Wellington city) have each received from the Chinese residents of Wellington valuable gifts in commemoration of the Coronation. Mr McKenzie’s present is a large scarlet mat, worked in most elaborate gold-mounted tassel work. The whole surface of the iuat is hand-worked with gold braid representations of peacocks and various Chinese figures and bird devices, and is elaborately studded with miniature mirrors. WADE’S WORM FlGS—the wonderful Worm Worriers—are always effective. One shilling boxes everywhere!
