The " Loafer " writincr to the Press says —By means of that extraordinary inventior the telegraph, which puts a girdle round tb earth in leas than forty minutes, we are iv formed by your alert Auckland agent tha "joe, tbe New Hebrides murderer, unde sentence of death, has been supplied wit tobacco." And reading this, hundreds o sweet boys from the age of five to twelvt that I see smoking pipes regularly will wis they were New Hebrides murderers for th time being. Everyihing you see has it bright side. A murderer gets his tobacco o the cheap. The following extraordinary notice ha been issued by the Victorian Government ii its zeal for retrenchment :— " Members o the Government service enjoying the bene flfc of Government quarters, rented o otherwise, will in future be required to bea the expense of gweeping the chimneys am cleaning the closets, cesspits, &c, thereof The Government will in future pay for sue! services only in cases were two or mor< officers share the Bame accommodation.' One of the provisions of the notice is rathei puzzling. Where "two or more officers' could divide the expense, the Governmen undertake to pay for iwGoping chimneys am cleaning cesspits, but where the whol< charge would fall on a tingle individual, hi must pay it himself. This is one of thi mysteries of the Publio Works DepartmeD to which no solution has been furnished, and the Argus has given it up. A scientist says : — "The skulla of thi African negrbs are dolicboecephalic, mesoce phalic, prognathous, palthrhine, and meso seme ; while the Adamese are brachycepbalic microcephalic, mesogathous, meßorhine, am raegaaeme." Peruse this carefully, gentl< reader, and then feel your head to see if it i ao. The poet has referred idlers to the ant foi a lesson on industry. The common housi fly, however, wears the belt for persisten perseverance. One of these creatures will g< a thousand times to the same spot on a ball man's head, and yet there is nothing to b gained by it in any way. The new Bermague rush, mentioned ii recent Sydney telegrams, is situated 255 mile from Sydney, at tha mouth of the Bega rivei and near the centra of one of the most healthy districts in the colony, the bad district being largely occupied by farms am permanent settlements He was a young gentleman getting on i the law (writea the " Loafer in the Street ." It was getting pretty cloae to his final ex amination, and though there may not nppea at first to be any connection between th facti, he had a cheque on an up-countr bank. This he forwarded for purposes o collection to a friend, also studying the laM in that locality. The amount of the origins ohequß forwarded was £3 Is 6d. All be go back for it was £2 2s 6d. This is how hi friend accounted for the discrepancy: — s d Receiving instructions . .68 Collecting cheque . ,68 Paid P.
