An Auckland telegram states that J. C. Morriii, jjroeer, has become a bankrupt, with liabilities amounting to £22,500; assets, £15,500. ''The Intelligent Vagrant," who contributes to a contemporary, writes : "Until I read Dr. Croke's sermon in Diittlin, 1 never knew what a miserable place N"w Z-aland was. Dr. Ooke is the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland, and, when I had the pleasure of knowing him there, he seemed to be quite contented with his lot. But I see he lifts "come back to Erin," and in a sermon, line talked of the time he wns " living on a lone isle at the Antipodes." Up in Auckland he seemed to be quite contented with his " lone isle," and, indeed, had a comfortable, house, and " lashin'sof atin'an'dliriiikiii'." But now he spi aks as if bo had been in some miserable corner of ilie earth. However, I suppose Dr. Cmke was only indulging in a little pardonable hyperbole, for I find him connecting the Vatican with Liberty and Constitutional Government. I conclude, then, that he did not intend to have his words understood literally.
