There must be some playful folk '.in thesje dull times in the Wairarapa. ;The Masterton journal says:— " One or two attempts have been made lately to hoax us into publishing notices of births of fictitious twins. Having once been sold in this manner, we are vert unlikely to be again deceived. We do not insert notices of twins now without either It duly sworn affidavit from tbe parents or f personal inspection of the offspring." A delicate, forlorn, and (clay colored Chinese hawker of small wares, well knowa in Dunedin as " the doctor," was unwittingly converted into a walking advertisement for Mr George Darrell the other day. Some larrikins waiting their chance, attached a large poster labelled " Back from the GraveV on the doctor's back, and the not inappropriate inscription created considerable amusement in the public streets. The Chinese army (says a Foochow paper) will never become a very respectable organjuation until certain sweeping reforms are made. It appears that gunners, riflemen, and swordsmen, however great their ak^U, can never be promoted from the ranks j whilst stall in archery secures the reward of a button as soon as ever it js manifested. Gunners, &c, if very skilful, are rewarded with presents of tobacco-pouches, and suchlike trifles. ! The latest yarn aboat -fast time is to the effect ,tha* 00 a certain American railroad + young man, put his. head out of the car window to kiss his girl good-by, when the traip went ahead so rapidly that he kissed tin oia African female at the next station. A jockey calls bis horses Kerosene and. Petroleum, because the/ are a paraffine * steeds. - Coming events cast their shadows before them — those who remain too long hesitating j get overtaken by the event as well as the shadow. How many a valuable life would have been saved, if .the premonitory symptoms of coming disease had been regarded ?
