One of the best known of .London janie dealers has just been fined for selling game in a "high" condition: Quite a sensational argument went on before the magistrate during the hearing of the case as to what the term ■ "high" exactly meant. Counsel for the prosecution skid the game in thw cas« was excessively "high," and that a pair of pheasants could easily be smelt on the other side of the street. The game dealer said pheasants were usually hung up by the tails, and when they dropped they were fit to eat. Before they dropped, he added, none of his West End" customers considered them fit for table ! Grouse and black game, he wont on. to say, were seldom eaten un til they were "maggoty." No doubt all this is true ; if so, however, the magistrate himself is no gourmand or epicure for he promptly characterised the whole business as shocking, and fined the game dealer lAO and L.2 costs. A correspondent in a late issue of the New Zealand Times says :—Seeing by the papers that a ship has been given to the New Zealand Government by the Home authorities for the purpose of training boys for a sea life, would it not be a graceful compliment —as a competent instructor will be required—to offer the charge of such ship to Captain Allman, who was one, if not actually the first, to propose and point out the necessity for such a ship in the port of Wellington ? I believe such an appointment would be most popular, and his long sea record in various capacities renders Captain Allman most suitable to hold such a position. At the municipal poll, one lady, with voting paper in hand sweetly asked the clerk which was Mr G 's box i Irish Agitator—'we will have no landlords between us and the God AlTt'rhtv.' A voice from the crowd--evict his first tenants.' "Book debts, like fruit, want to be collected whcii tLfoy are fresh. ' -Juuj Kettle, in the Hawera Bankruptcy Court.

Judge Kettle, says the Haweia Star, thinks it possible a nian may be of good character and still gamble, provided he thinks he has the money to spare. An American millionaire disinherited his daughter because' she persisted in marrying a poor artist. After the father's death the will showed that he had not even left his daughter the pmverbial shilling. The daughter contested the will in the New York Supreme (Jourt, and has been awarded .£BOO,OOO from her father's estate. An Auckland telegram stated :—As illustrating the advantage of the Pacifie cable line a s'ngulariy rapid exchange of cablegrams from here and San Francisco has just taken place. A message was despatched by Mr Carr (of Messrs Carr, Pountnev, and Co.) and handed into the telegraph office here at 11.47 this morning, and at 1.9 this afternoon a reply was received—equal to one hour and 22 minutes for the despatch and receipt of two cablegrams. When you cannot sleep for coughing, it is hardly necessary that any one should tell you that you need a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to allay the irritation of the throat, and make sleep possible.
