The Bitee Bitten.—The Wellington Post has the following paragraph:—" One of the officials was slightly' had ' yesterday by a sturdy loafer, but as the sequel proves the biter was in the end even more badly bitten in return. The loafer, without knowing the official referred to, accosted him and begged for the ' price of a meal, kind sir.' The appeal was responded to, but the donor's suspicions being aroused, he followed the hungry one, who entered the first ' hotel' he came to, and with the air of a millionaire' planked down 'his recently acquired 'nimble shilling,' and in a ' 'aughty' tone demanded a pint of ale. Before this could succeed, however, hia 'friend in need' stalked into the bar, removed the shilling from the counter, and placidly replaced it in his pocket, and bidding the fellow good morning, retired. The loafer was on the point of following his late benefaetor, evidently with a view to trying conclusions with him, but a word of caution from the barman to the effect that his almoner was the best amateur athlete and boxer in the city, cooled his ardour, and he returned up town, but in an opposite direction."
