The Right Hon. George Reid, Federal Oppositionist, has aimed a blow at Australiaa caricaturists. He has abandoned his eyeglass I An enemy once said to “Georgia Porgy,” “ I never see you without a glass in your eye,” “No ?’’ suavely gueried George, “ I never see you without one in your hand.” Mr Oswald Gardner has determined to be a candidate for the Manawatu Electoral District. We believe his addresses will be to the point in politics and have a wider interpretation than the parochial ones which seem to be so much in favour with certain candidates.

The Hawkes* Bay Herald on Saturday issued a Coronation Supplement which is marked by a novelty in design and treatment, the one page being taken up with a frontispiece, which reflects the greatest credit on the lithographic department of the Herald. Writing on the cablegrams touching the King's health from the 20th to the 24th June, the Review of Reviews remarks the public has had a striking lesson as to the unreliability of official bulletins. Where the life of a King is concerned, bulletins—medical and official—may be regarded as mere experiments in convenient fiction.

Coronation services were held throughout India, and there has been universal rejoicing. To-morrow Messrs Abraham and Williams stock sale at Levin will be held.

The Chinese at Pekin took ail extraordinary interest in the Coronation. Prince Chan brought Sir Ernest Sa ! '>\v (British Minister at ,Pekin) a congratulatory message from the Emperor. Prince Ching (Minister for Foreign Affairs) and a retinue of officials attended service at the English chapel. A reception given by Sir. Ernest Satotv was the most representative ever held la Pekin.

We draw, rather late in the day, attention to the tastefully dressed windows of Mr Edmund Osborne. The colours are patriotic, bright, and well assorted and reflects much credit on establishment.

Port Said has been declared the “ wickedest place on earth, ” tor to it have gravitated the rag, tag, and bobtail of the old world and the ncw : — Greek, Arab, Italian, Armenian, and Turk fraternise with the Malay, Egyptian, Zanzibari, and, to the shame of the Anglo-Saxon race be it said, the American and the Briton, of coarse, with the übiquitous Jew —a polygot of the worst specimens of their respective nations.

Our correspondent at Mongonni wires to us that Mr Clemelt, the postmaster who has been transferred to Foxton, had a splendid send off last night in the Masonic Hall, - over 150 of his friends were present to say goodbye to him, and he was presented with a purse of 40 sovereigns in token of the esteem in which he was held by the residents of the district, who are all sorry to lose him.

In response-to sustained demonstrations in front of Buckingham Palace, the King, robed and crowned, appeared on the Kalcony, and was accorded an immense reception, which was renewed when he invited Queen Alexandra to join him. Their Majesties remained bowing to the crowd for some minutes.

We regret to hear, says the Standard, that Mr A. Greenfield's indisposition still continues, and that another fortnight will probably elapse before he is well enough to resume his Magisterial duties.

Mr Thomas Hughes informed us that he had just received a letter from his brother at St. Asaph, North Wales, acknowledging the receipt of a box of New Zealand butter, which he said was delicious and as good as any made in the Vale of Clwyd, which is a noted dairying district.

Mr Frank Robinson informs us that standing on a hill on his property at Carnarvon on Saturday. ;he could see the fireworks at Sanson, Feilding, Palmerston and Rongotea but did not notice any at Foxton.

A little romance just to hand (remarks an exchange). An English lady, with friends in New Zealand, received a batch of photographs by mail a couple of months ago. One was the picture ot the Rotorua Sanatorium. In the foreground were a lady and a gentleman. The English lady recognised the gentleman as her long-dis-appeared husband, and the lady by his side as a former housemaid. There is likely to be work for Sir Francis Jsune, or pthcr divorce judges, through the medium of the Auckland photo grapher.

When the thunder storm was on, on Saturday night, the lighting fused and utterly dispersed some yards of wire near the Heads telephone as well as damaging the instruments. The line was being restored on Tuesday.

The hall was filled with dancers and non-dan-cat's, and everything went off pleasantly- The Cornwall Family supplied excellent - music, and Mr M. Perreau did the catering. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and dancing was kept merrily going till 2.30. Messrs A. Fraser and W. Cook were M.C.’s. Extras were nicely played by Missels H.

Mr A. Pat has some sample prices to-day in his adverlisment, and also announces the arrival of new garden seeds. We learn that Mr Michael Flnrscheim who started the wonderful Exchange bank in Wellington, by which he dropped a lot of money, is now in Europe. ’ The Free LancO is answerable for the following:—“ Mean trick of oqa of Wellington’s downiest” citizens. Time, 13.30; scene outside citizen’s residence; present, cabbie -and his fare. “ Half a-minute, cabbie, I’ve dropped a ten-pound nothin the cab.” Then'the cabbie drove furiously away, and the citizen didn’t pay any fare.

With the albumin of meat its action seems first to produce a pulpy gelatinous mass which, however, completely dissolves after a short time.—The Lancet.

A belated yarn brought to light by a military individual'hot from Africa’s burning strand, is given by the Free Lance. It relates to the period just after the first compliments had been exchanged.
