A Southern journal asks : —What’s happened to the old nobility of Taranaki ? Lost their family estates, or something? Put their ooronots in pawn, porbapn, and want to raise cash to got them out ? It’s tv painful and humiliating thing to learn tho following. It is . from a Taranaki paper:—“ Wanted, Ivy two gentlemen nnd lady, milking on sharesfrom sixty to seyonty cows. Apply, eto., Kapongn." The advertisers, with whom we sincerely condole, are probably related to “ the young lady,” who wants a job as general servant, and the “ young gentlemen,” who want cheap lodgings. If one accepts oolonial people’s ndvortised estimate of thorasolvoß, one wonders whore all,the ordinary mon and women have gone to. This is a democratic country.

One of the great' sorvices done for the pore by Mr I. O. Bond, manager for the Onion Steamship Company, who loaveß Gisborne this morning for the South, was tho devising of a code of Signals for the steamers in the Bay. Yesterday afternoon immediately the signal was put up by Uaptain Neal and Mr Williams for the Talune to stand by until the morning the reply came, showing that it bad been observed. Ono defect probably of the signalling gear is that thoio aro now some obstructions to tho sight from cortain ports of the Bay, and it was noticed that the steamor backed for some distance, no doubt to better observe the signal from tbo flagstaff. Tho funeral of the late Mr Thomas Lipsett took place yesterday afternoon, and notwithstanding the wintry weather wob largely attended. There was a strong muster of Druids, two brakes aud other vehicles being required to convey the members of tho Order,. of which the deceased was a highly respeoted brother. The ADglican burial service was conducted by the Kev. Dawson Tliomas, after which the Druidio rites were performed by Bro. G. Darton, A.D. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent by sympathising friends, and in many ways touching evidence .was given of deep sympathy for the widow and children. An inquest concerning the circumstances of the death was held on Saturday', a verdict of accidental death being reruruod. The Musical Horald Is responsible for the fol'owing anredoto of Miss Aaa Crossley (that was) : —At one of the West of England cathedrals in which the famous Three Festivals are held, a pew-holder was demanding free admission to ono of tho afternoon recitals by virtue of bis ocouppaDoj of a pew. "No, " sir, said the verger, “ I have my hordore, and no one can pass in without a ticket.” “But X tall you I am. a pew-holder,” expostulated the ira'e citizou. “ Ycssir, I knows, audjyour being so admits you any othor time but this. This is, a special occasion, .It baint the h’or’nary 'ohoir wots reciting, sir, it’s the Three Festivals choir, and Miss Hada Gktssloy is a’soloing. And no ono can got in without a ticket.” “Perhaps you’ll tell mg next I shall require a ticket to enter the kingdom of heaven ” exclaimed the angry dead-head. “ Well, no, sir” replied the verger. “ But, then, you wont ’ear Hada Crosaley in ’Eaven.” At tho Police Court on Saturday a young man named John O’Keefe was charged before Mr Barton, S.M., with usiDg obscene language. Mr Stock appeared for dofendgot, who pleaded not guilty, Samuel Hyland, phrenologist, stated that accused and anothor came into his shop on Friday afternoon. When witness saw accused he went back into the bonse and accused went into the street, where he used the language complained of. Accused was practically sober. Henry Do Montmorency gave oorroborative evidence. Accused was requested by Madame Hyland to leave the premises and as he refused to do so , witness rang up the police.

Acoused made a statement that he had gone back to Hyland’s for his hat and a pound note that he bad left the night before when bo was hustled out of the shop, In convicting accused His Worship said tho language used was most disgusting, and accused, who was convicted of drunkenness on Friday, Bhould have taken his advice and left the town. Aaoused was sentenoed to 14 days’ hard labor. A .Sydney lady writer thus describes the sculling championship race:—StraDge as it might seem, some of the most excited spectators of the Stanbnry-Towns soulling match were women—aod middle-aged women at that. Absolutely the most vooifsroue party I saw was an ancient lady of nearly 60, and she got so excited that when Stanbnry approached a rocky ledge to speak to some friend she bounced wildly into the water till it reached her waist in her anxiety to shake hands with the new. champion. Tho variety of frocking was amazing. It was almost as diversified as the kinds of craft on which people floated in order to get a glimpse of the great race. Even the catamaran was there, or rather two of it were, and flue safe craft they are,.too,. But the master-stroke of originality was where, beside a dapper motor-launob, all burnished: oopper and pale-green enamel point, a bushy,bearded savage stood upright on a oouple of planks lashed together, which be bad propelled into position with a Jong pole. He must have been very tired standing there io the burning Bun, and even his beard had to be decimally true to preserve his balance. Down where the judge’s boat was moored the effect was that of a floating garden, owing to the bJoßgOfflsm tht? women's hnss,
