, I A.Maaterton telegram of Friday says •— During Mass et the Roman Catholic Church yesterday, Father Halbwactas, in strong, language denounced Mr A. W. Eenall, one of the candidates for Wairarapa North, and told his congregation they must vote for Mr Beetham, as Mr RenaU had got the funeral service performed orer one of his family by aProteßtant clergy mau, although the deceased was baptised by a Catholic priest. In the evening Father Halbwachs denied a rumor that he had applied to Mr Renell for money before performing the funeral ritea. Mr Beetham was present in the Charch. The priest's conduct has excited strong comment among the Catholics as well as Protestants. Circumstances alter cases, says an exchange. A lady, in a ball-room, will wear a dress that will subject her to arreßt, displayed upon the street. She will wear a bathing costume considerably curtailed at both ends, and stand the stare of a thousand eyes ; but if by accident she should be seen in a r be de nuit, buttoned closely from throat to feet, she would raise the roof with her screams. O. fashion! thooart a great fraud. Mr Wingfield Digby, of Sherbone Castle, England, has made a permanent reduction of 20 per cent, in the rents of the farmers on his estates in- Dorset and West Somerset, dating froiu midsummer. This remission will diminish Mr Digby's income by £9,000 a year. With attention to economy, he will probably be able to live comfortably on the remaining 80 per cent., £36,000 a year. Mu3taphs Bey, the ruler of Tunis, spent, during his stay in Paris, £28,000. He carried hems 200 gold watches and- 10,000 pocket koiveß. ••' ■■•■•■"•■■-■ ; •- ,"■'",.;
