There is some talk in legal circlespn Wellington about the appointment of a sixth Judge. The fact that the Arbitration Court work is likely to occupy a great deal of the time of one of the present Judges adds color to the rumor. Iu any case at present there seems to be enough work for six Supreme C urt Judges. The question whether a new appointment will be made, or whether the services of his Honor Mr Justice Pennefa’her will, be retained even after Judge William .‘s return, is being canvassed.

XFor Coughs and Colds take Wood’s Great Peppermint Cure. 1/6 and 2/6 Mr Spragg’s conclusion, after an elaborate and extensive inspection of the dairy factories and appliances throughout the United States and Canada, is that, in all essential respects, New Zealand is still well ahead. “ I saw no factory in advance of those which we have in New Zealand,” MrSpragg declares. “ You may take my assurance that in these m..fcers New Zealand is thoroughly,up-to-date.” The Loudon correspondent of the Herald compares the brothers Reynolds, of Waikato, to meteors in Tuesday's paper. Mr Henry, he states, left London “with the bewildering velocity of a lightening flash, 1 ’ and his brother Richard shortly after followed his example. Mr' Henry Reynolds called at this office the other day, but so far as we noticed ex hibited no signs of his extraordinary transmission abroad

A little book on the cure of Rheumatism, Corpulence,, Lumbago, and Indigestion by the samo author, may ba had from Mr Campbell also —Advt From the Produce Review in our Auckland contemporary we gather the following curious fact: There is one curious circumstance just now with respect to NeW Zealand butter and that is that Messrs Lovell and Christmas are sending back to New Zealand and Australia all the colonial butter that they have in store, for which they expect to get Is 2d to Is 4d per lb, which, of course, is a vastly higher price than it would fetch in London at this time of the year, lOd being quite the top price. Mr Christmas tells us that it is the colonial drought which has brought about this curious reversal of the customary order of trade.

A very largely attended meeting was held at Waihi last Friday night for the purpose of discussing the Ohinemuri Hospital question. Messrs McVeagh and Bastings, Paeroa, were present, and stated that already the sum of £571 6s 2d had be?n placed to the credit of the Ohinemuri Hospitd fund account. It was also explained that the Waihi branch of the Salvation Army had collected £2 5s on behalf of the fund, whilst £l6 was also contributed as a result of the recent Friendly Societies’ demonstration. A number of motions were proposed, but eventually it was decided that the various districts be asked to appoint delegates to confer with the trustees and arrange for a scheme by which the funds may be considerably augmented. It was also agreed that the question ©f site be reserved for the consideration of the delegates.

Commenting upon the manner in which the Hon. John M‘Kenzie poured out the vials of his wrath in Mr Rollestou’s constituency, the Pest remarks : * We cannot suppose tuat the Premier approves these insensate exhibitions of impotent fury on the part of his colleague, which can only tend to hasten an impending fall. Does the hon. gentlemen wish to play the part of a local Samson, and drag the Cabinet to ruin from within before it can be demolished from without ? |He. can do it easily enough if he has the will—-he has but to resign. Is that in his mind.

Let the croaker croak, and the hard tune howler howl. We know hard times as bad as those in a sick household.

Mr S. W. Knight advertises his farm at Manawaru for sale, together awith farm plant. In Monday’s Herald we noticed a curious coincidence in the correspondence columns. In four letters the word ‘fourth* played a prominent part. There was one on the subject of the ‘ Fourth Sunday Trinity ’; a second on the ‘ Fob a London County Council ’; a third oti thb ‘Four-in-hand Gold Mining Company ’; and a fourth on The Fourth of July.’

Mr Felix M‘Guire wound up his speech at Hawera the other night with the expression of his opinion that ‘ the race of the Government was nearly run, and- Mr John Duthie would .soon have thekeys of the r Treasury, when Mr Seddon and his pariy would disappear like show before the sun.

During the last 18 months the position of the Uitlahder in the Transvaal has become steadily worse. Not a week passes without leaving him a little poorer, a little more hopeless, a little more unhappy. * And yet, this being so,’ says the Englishman in London, the Frenchman in Paris, the German in Berlin, the American in New York and San Francisco, * you Uitlanders do nothing, even say nothing. You call no public meetings, you make no united protests, you lay inert like brute beasts !’ The reproach, although natural, is not just. Before the disastrous incursion of Dr Jamieson the Uitlanders ili/ : Johannesburg had petitioned until they were sick, argued until they were entreated-ffntil self-respect commanded silence, agi tited and agitated until they, being unarmed, defenceless and discouraged, were finally prevented by law from even calling or attending a publicmeeting. So the silence of the Uilander commenced Bound and helpless, what can he do but write ? Since the collapse of the reform movement, the Uitlanders have b-en like the gasping fish landed high and dry on hot sand.—-Johannesbury Star. A San Francisco paper gives the following particulars of the death of Eiouard Remenyi, the violinist, whose tragic end whilst performing at the Oipheum Theatre in that city orieflv mentioned in our c.u’es -It was a few minutes afterJJ oV. jck when Remenyi went on the" stage. Just before going on he turned to Manager Morrisy, with whom he had been chatting, and said, as ho patted his costly violin, affectionately— ‘ This is fie only friend Iha ve.* The audience gave the famous musician a cordial welcome, and he smilingly bowed his acknowledgment. He first played a selection from ‘ The Huguenots,’ anil his rendition was . superb. The audi ence sat in breathless and when he had finished the applause was deafening. In response to the erous encore that marked the app. ciation of his auditors the master oi the violin played a liberty hymn, a musical gem of his own composition. His performance was electrical, and as he left the stage the vast crowd clapped, cheered, and stamped for his return. With steady step and apparently pleased at the marked favor with which his initial appearance in this city was received, the old gentleman walked towards the foot-lights and began the pizzicato from ‘Sylvia.’ Suddenly his hand was seen to tremble and at the same instant he fell where he was standing. He never spoke or breathed a word from the moment he was stricken down. The audience was informed that he had fainted, the performance was continued, and it was not until after the show that the people learned that the most famous Hungarian violinist o£ this age was no more.

Tn a recent * Breach of Promise * case the defendant obtained a verdict because he proved that the girl had always a cold ia her * dose,’ as she expressed it. Thus were two souls with but'~a single pockethandkerchief, two hearts that beat as one. parted for ever, just for the want of Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, which is a certain remedy for all colds, coughs, or catarrhs. Tie a knot about this, somewhere !
