Mr Edward Wakefield apparently does not take his defeat in good part. Addressing the electors of G. raldine at the formal declaration of the poll, he thank.d the electors who voted ior him, and characterised Mr Hayhurst's condnct as mean, m retiring in favour of Mr Postlethwaite to keep him (Mr Wakefield) out. He added tbat if the electors of Geraluine thought they were goidg to stop his political career by keeping; him out, they made a great mistake. *' Scriptor" in the Dunedin Echo says :•— " There is one way of testing the relative sireng«b, and muscular developement of American and New Zealand chi dren— at least those in Otago and Southland. Au enterprisiog American fi m forwards to New Zealand paper patterns to cut children's clothes by, and I learn that for sd Otago reared ohild you muat almost aw ay a select a pattern one or two years older th.n ia marked on the outside. F r example, if you wane a pinafore for a Dunedinita of four y^ars, you muat choose sn American pattern of five or six y_>ars. Hers is a fact for immigration lecturers and tha next edition of Mr Bathgate's book. Fact it is anyhow. A New York man has just received from tbe dead letter office his photograph, whicb he sent his mother from the army eighteen years ago.
