Mr Oscar Wilde, paying a morning visit to a lady, surprised her dusting some articles of vertu too precious to he entrusted to any hands but her own, ‘ Oh,’ said he, ‘ w%t unnecessary labor. Dust should never be removed ; it is the bloom of time. A party of gentlemen at a club were endeavoring to decide what professional people are the most likely to disparge one another. A lawyer suggested journalists. A journalist suggested artists. An actor claimed that actors were not to be counted. Finally it was decided that the honor belongs to musicians. Thirty years ago, when speaking’in the House of Commons on the New Zealand Constitution Act, Mr Gladstone said:—“Take the central Legislature, and make it the fountain of power; on the other band, I say let the district Legislature be for New Zealand, aad under its circumstances the fountain of power. But I do not think this Bill proceeds consistently either on the one principle or on the other ; and concurrent jurisdictions, I must confess, are to me subjects of apprehension and alarm. A concurrent jurisdiction in the business of legislation means uncertainty, conflict, and confusion. The over-riding of arrangements already made under authority deemed competent, by extraneous power, must ever lead to annoyance and angry feeling. What reason can there be,if these district legislatures are fit to deal with the subjects which come before them —what reason can there be that their decision should be subject to revision ?”
