Mete Kingi. —The Evo-ing Post, 21st October, says that Mete Kiugi, MILK., has not, after all, turned out to be the mighty wise man many people would have him to be. Wo learn from the Front that ho had gone to the Kupapas shortly after u stormy interview with Col. ilaultain, in which the latter snubbed him considerably, calling him a coward, &c. ; ha is at present engaged in fomenting discord and disaffection amongst the friendlies. The parliamentary lesson taught him during the session, the various entertainments to which ho was a guest, and other demonstrations of the kind, seem to have failed in improving this du-ky legislator. We are in due expectation of farther nows of the sayings and doings of this proiege- of the laws of privilege. Ax Amcsing Exchange of Pulpits.— The Kahway (New Jersev) Advocate, relates the following incident which took place recently:—The First Baptist and First Methodist churches in Kuhway had each arranged to have their pulpits supplied by a clergyman named Miller, who was to be found at the railroad depot at Elizabeth on Sunday morning, and conveyed hence in a carriage. At the appointed time the Methodist vehicle drove up to the depot, and the driver, seeing a gentleman in black promenading on the platform, accosted him, found his name was Miller, told him his errand, and finally took him on board and to Kahway, where h n preached for the Methodists, though he is a Baptist preacher. The Baptists soon after found another gentleman of the name of Miller, also walking by the depot, and took him to their church at Kahway, where he gave them a good sermon. Both parties wore pleased, which is more than can usually be said in the case of a double mistake, and all enjoyed the joke when it was known how much their sectarianism had neon in danger without receiving any real damage.
