In a fashionable novel the author says: “ Lady Emma trembled, grew pale and immediately fainted.” The printer putting p instead of f, rendered it, “ The lady grew pale, and immediately painted.” The belief in dynamite as a powerful redresser of human woes is evidently spreading and is beginning to threaten the colonies. At an indignation meeting of the unemployed held very recently in Sydney, several of the speakers referred to dynamite as being the “grandest civiliser of the world;” and one imbecile, more enthusiastic on the subject than his fellows remarked that “ a bottle of it on the floor of the House would do no harm.” This latter statement, by the way, appears raters equivocal. A most painful exhibition of juvenile female depravity was given yesterday at the Police Court, when a girl, who is said to be not more than 18 years of age, was charged with having used some aoominably bad language on Saturday evening last in Barkerstreet. The apprehending constable, after giving evidence as to the epithets employed by the prisoner, stated that she appeared like a person who was suffering from the effects of drink. This portion of the evidence was borne out by her conduct while in the dock. The prisoner reeled as if in a swoon, and would have fallen but for the supporting arm of an officer of police. What made the case the more painful was the fact that the girl had up to within the last few days been the standardbearer of the Salvation Army, and that this was the second occasion on which she had brought discredit upon herself and the cause with which she has been connected.
