Sm George Grey's Home. — A correspondent of the ; Melbourne Leader who travelled in New Zealand not long since, writes of Sir George Grey's home at Kawau as follows :— About 12 years ago Sir George purchased the island from the company, so that he cannot be charged with having acquired any land from the Governments with ■which he has been connected. A flock of about 2000 sheep' aro grazed on Kawau, but is evident from the way in which the place is stocked with English pheasants, kangaroos, wallabies, and every kind and other description of game, that money making is not the object sought in the manage- . ment of the estate. Sir George did not say much about his sheep but he claimed to have every kind of kangaroo represented on Kawau. The island is valued under the property tax at £16,000, but the interest derived from this amount must be very small. Sir George Grey is understood to have an income of some £8,000, to £10,000, which he inherits from his relations, so~ that he belongs to a class rarely met with in connection with colonial politics, viz., those who are not engaged in money making. We have many wealthy men, but generally the wealthiest are as keenly engaged in business as the poorest, and consequently as little able to act from public motives as any other class. Having ample meansy and noFbeing engaged in fortune making, Sir George Grey, like Gladstone and other eminent statesmen, may claim to be "a professional politician." ; A Vienna telegram states that the anti- Jewish craze has spread into the Austro - Hungarian Empire, ahd a horrible murder is reported frpm Tarpa,. in Hungary. Many fires haye 1 recently occurred, andthey wereimputed bypopu? lar prejudice to the Jews. A few days ago another fire broke out, and a Jew of the neighbourhood was present helping to extinguish it, when the mob suddenly turned against him and threw him into the flames; where ho was burnt alive. The Metropolittn Chapel Building Fund of the Wesleyans, London, hai i lcreased the accommodation within the past 20 years from 39,000 stttings in 1861 to 126,000 in 1881.
