KAIHU CLIPPINGS

[By Old Kaihu.] The president of tho Dargaville Football Club gave a Ball iu Mr Corcoran’s hall last week to members of that Club and their friends. About seventy couples were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent. I regret to bear, however, that a most distressing accident happened to the genial host. necessitating his hurried departure from the festive scene, but I trust no ill results followed. I am told the great Mogul is annoyed at some of my clippings, and is trying to oust a limb of the law from his township, on tho mere suspicion (unfounded of course), of being tno writer. He wants the monopoly of speech as well as everything else. If he would like to live where people are muzzled •why did he not emigrate to Russia when he left his native bog, or Turkey P He would have made a grand Turk. Of course personalities are very annoying to a man with the record he has, both public and private, but “ people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.” Up to the last three months, or less, his paper bristled with personalities of tho grossest kind, and on one occasion lie expressed bis intention of going as ‘‘far as the law allowed.” I put an hour in at the last Auction here. Paw should send the bhoy homo to kiss the blarney stone.
