A Blenheim Shopkeeper, who ia a bit of a wag,' had a placard stuck Up on a blind window containing a forecast of the result of the Wairau election. The place of honour was accorded to Mr Danoan, the Opposition candidate, followed by “Graphaphone Charlie,” as the Hon. Minister for Customs was irreverently termed. The no-license candidate was last and lowest, but the most unlcindest cut of all was the sporting phrase which ended the prophesy; “ Dividend, £75

A speaker at a mass meeting, says an an exchange, was repeating the old platitude “ What ye sow ye shall reap,” and embellishing it with “if you sow oats you will gather oats, if you sow wheat you will gather wheat, if you sow potatoes you will gather potatoes.” At this juncture a voice from the crowd was heard saying; “No, I’m darned if you will. I’ve sown potatoes twice already, and shall have none to gather,” A Sydney cable says:—The passenger train between Maitland and Newcastle ■■was travelling 30 miles an 'bout 1 When several rivets blew out of the crown boiler and. a seam opened up. The steam escaped with great volume, but driver Pead shut off steam and applied the brakes. He was dreadfully scalded in doing so. The fireman was less badly injured. Both are in the hospital.

Our old friend Mr “Dick” Seddon will be more cock-a-hoop than ever. His mutton has long filled our butchers’ shops, and his wit and wisdom have increased the gaiety of nations. He has pointed out a hundred ways in which we fall short of the country he governs with a naivete that always reminds us of Saucho Panza. Hitherto, however, we have never realised our inferiority. Perhaps we have never even felt it. But to day we are humbled and abashed. Mr Seddon has scourged us with football scorpions. His fifteen have come and seen and conquered. We have been made, in the noble Cromwellian phrase, like stubble before their swords. The New Zealanders have swept through the land, carrying all before them. Their opponents have never crossed their line in half a dozen matches. They have not been beaten so much as obliterated. England, in its ignominy, turns to little gallant Wales to bring ( the haughty spirit of these New Zealanders to the dust. But we have heard that even gallant little Wales is nervous. And if Wales falls—. We can hoar the Homeric laughter of Mr “ Dick ” Seddon as he reads the Government despatches of this last crushing blow. Macaulay’s New Zealander has arrived with a vengeance. He is a more terrible fellow even than we have conceived him to be. —London Daily News.

The New Zealand Times has been informed by Mr P. Nathan, of the firm of .Nathan and Co., that when Mr David Nathan left for England some time ago he tools with him a sample of New Zealand tow, with the object of trying to find a market for it. He was successful, and the first shipment was forwarded to England last December. .Since then the firm had exported about 750 tons of tow, and was prepared to purchase as much of it as was offering. At the present time they were paying flaxmillers £5 a ton, so that tow at the present day could not by any means bo regarded as a waste product. Each bale had to be bound up in calico on account, it was supposed, of its inflammable nature, and the freight was greater than on flax, on account of its greater bulk.. The firm had to sell at j6lO per ton or thereabouts to realise a profit, and this the tow was readily fetching. Mr Nathan was hardly clear as to what the tow they were exporting was being used for, but he suspected it was being concerted into binder twine, for which it seemed to be suited. J.t had been used in the colony for many years past for making “flax” mattresses, and was also being used in the preparation of patent building plasters. Under these circumstances flaxmillers who discard tow as a waste product are not awake, but the Premier’s announcement, coupled with Mr Nathan’s remarks, should shake them up to a realisation of the hard cash that is rek presented in tow.

A London cable says Mr Justice Wills has retired from tn© King's Bench. Mr Henry Sutton succeeds him.
