NEWS AND NOTES.
“Which would you sooner be, a European or a Maori?” was a question put to a native at the Court in Wanganui. “If my father had asked me which I would sooner be, I would have told him,” was the reply. A house 5 marauder received some slight injuries recently (says the Southland News). The household were out for the evening and a boy and girl in the middle of their “teens” who were left in charge of the house observed a man at one of the windows. The boy pluekily ventured outside with his pea rifle and fired two shots at a safe part of the man’s body. The delinquent departed in sore haste. A London cable states that the Daily Mail’s Madrid correspondent says the Prince of Asturias, heirapparent to the throne, is suffering from a complaint of the spinal marrow and is unable to walk. The second son, Jaime, suffers from congenital deafness and an impediment in his speech. The successor to King Alfonso, therefore, will have to be the fifth child, Juan, now ten years of age, unless the Prince of the Asturias recovers.
