Savory Morsels.
Watson, who made top score against the Auckland team in the Christcburoh match,-.recently ran up an innings of 165. A. joke is told of the Empress of Austria.l, The Empress went on a visit to the Island of'Zante, and on landing, up came the consul, Herr Moretti, and down went the. consul on his knees, quite in tho eastera^Btyle,,asking what might be the gracious sovereign's demands. The Empress smiled at the consul and said quaintly, " My commands are that you get .up_ and dust the knees of: ycur breeches." And He dusted. Beware!—He who courts and goes away may lire to court another day, but he who weds and courts girls still, may get in court against his will. Dr P. Molonev, of Melbourne, says that.many, promising boys and girls die annually from the forcing educational process which is too common in Victoria.
