As showing the capabilities of bush land, when cleared and grassed, in the Pelorus Sound, Mr George Crichton had over 300 sheep in a one hundred acre paddock all last winter at Port Ligar, and they kept in capital condition.—Pelorus Guardian. In his lecture at Scarborough on the art and practice of music in England, Mr W. H. Cummings reminded his hearers that in the spacious times of great Elizabeth, London barbers’ shops were always furnished with a cithern, in order that a customer might, if so disposed, sing and accompany himself while he was waiting to be shaved or have his hair curled or ent. Customers in a hurry would, doubtless, it has been suggested, stimulate the activity of the barber by a march in quick time, or a fantasia on the ‘ Bay (Rum) of Biscay.’ It is well known that the Emperor of Russia is extraordinarily strong. He can easily break a five rouble piece in his h.vnds. The other day he gave a more unusual proof of his immense power; he and the Empress were on a railway journey, and stopped at one of the stations en route for lunch. An impromptu reception was hurriedly arranged, and the mayor’s little girl presented a hastily prepared posy. The stalks of the flowers were so wet that the Czarina hesitated a moment, and looked at her gloves; whereupon the Czar, quickly catching up a pewter plate from the buffet, twisted it in a moment into an improvised bouquet holder for the dripping flowers. The mealy mouthed man naturally often indulges of flours of speech.
