The Otago Daily Times reports that chicory is being successfully grown in the Mataura district. From the Sydney News we learn that over one thousand railway laborers have recently arrived there from New Zealand. Phylloxera has broken out in the vines in Portugal, and is causing great ravages among the claret vines in Douro district. Tiny boots, with little gilt spurs, and threestory hoods of Brussels lace, lined with pink satin, are among the latest whims of Parisian women. The aesthetic people who have afforded so much fun to London by their queer costumes, long hair, and general tomfoolery, are known as the Dadocracy. One of the pleasures recently added to those which anyone enjoys who attends an English ball is that of having one’s photograph taken. A temporary studio is fitted up in one of the parlours, and any lady who wishes to have her picture taken in her ball dress can have her wish gratified.
