A Boer Welcome.

EX-PRESIDENT STEYN HETUUNS TO SOUTH AFKICA. CArETOWN, Feb. 19. Leading Dutch residents welcomed ex-President Steyn and his wife at Capetown.

Robert Lucky, of Kentucky, met ' Adeline Walsh, a New York girl, at 1 a ball. He danced with her, and trod on her big toe. Afterwards, as I blood-poisoning was leaved, a doctor amputated the toe. Lucky paid the doctor's bill, sent the girl soft slippers. but after her recovery he found j she preferred another man. So he sued her for the doctor's bill of £lO and the cost of the slippers, won his suit, and as no answer was made to the action the plaint iff got the marshal to levy distress on the girl's piano at 'her home. This was prevented by her attorney, who presented a statement from the doctor that his bill for the amputation was only £l. It is thought that Lucky considered the extra £Ci in the light of compensatory damages. Air McKinnon, leader of the \ irtorian Opposition, was present at the Masterton show last week, lie was interviewed by, a representative of the \Yu,irarapa Age wh'.ch says.— What most pleased the visitor to Sew Zealand was the undoubted evidence of the great rural prosperity which may be seen on every side. This was especially noticeable in a country 'town like Masterton, where he peop'e were nearly all of the arming class. The thing was to ;cep it. going, for the small farmer ias the backbone of a country s >rospeiity. Everything in New /ea- j and, so far as 1 local industries were :oncerncd. appeared to be based upm the solid foundation of a certain •limate, a fertile soil, and the mat;ets of the world. Every well-wish-■r of the race must hope that New iealand, with its great natural advantages and splendid prosperity, .hould continue to advance along ;his enviable plane, and if the Gov■rnmenl was on cautious, solid lines, there would be no check to its advance. "I am impressing this opinion," said Mr McKinnon, '•'because we n Victoria have come through such hard times, which are a result of >ur inflation, and perhaps we view vith somewha't over-cautious eyes my spectacle of great prosperity, lowever. New Zealand's prosperity 'corns to be on a sound basis'." ["here was no doubt that Now Zeaand could proceed more rapidly than would be wise in the case of V icons).
