The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1882.

—, —» One of the most illustrious men in England, John Bright, recently com; pleted his seventieth year, and the occasion has been marked not only with congratulatory addresses from all parts of the United Kingdom, but by reviews of his public career. John Bright is an instance of one of the few men who have served their country by words rather than- deeds, "As the holder of a portfolio he has admittedly been a failure, but as a speaker who could influence the British House of Commons to a greater extent than any other living man, he has been a marvellous success, In his early days, when he first came forward as the champion of the working man, he was wont to be regarded as a dangerous radical, but though,'like the leopard, he has not changed his spots, all England is, nowproud of him, and no one fori a moment believes, that the honor or safety of the mother kingdom would be imperilled by his! counsel or' consent.. The secret 6fi;musi of his sucoesi. jias in litolear apprehension of.the benefieial cnarigeg which.could be brougllt fto'i.asal in; the social - and political' relationships of the various olasiJe?;' .Whi<jh ;-biiild «p" the, Bnglish nation;-" secondly, in his wonderful command of the English language and his unrivalled power of «xpression, and thirdly, in a singular honesty and con. scientiousness., Eloquent speakers are often' tempted to overstate the subjects which they are debating—to study effect rather than accuracy. When, as in the case of John-; Bright, an;,orator limits 1 himself'to assertions on which he has in his own mind arrived' #;- honest conclusions, when he never attempts to deceive or mislead the. public, he. lays the foundation of a great reputation; such as the one which now crowns' the friend of Cobden. The great lesson of John Bright's political career is that a man may hold extreme political views and yet be trusted by

" :A son of Mr J. Bayngr, aged about. 1 . yejsrs, .took a trip. to Featherston on his own;'Shook'-'yesterday,. Seeing all the Maryborough children getting into the. 'hus-, he followed' suit, and went to ; Featherston ' with them. His parents and their friends 1 after vainly searching for him about Masterton communioated with the police, and great fears were entertained for his safety. till a telegram was received from Featherston stating he was there. He was forwarded up by. the evening train, having apparently thoroughly enjoyed himself, MrE. Harris, of Waihenga, in conjunction with several other settlers of that neighborhood, yesterday gave the children attending the Maryborough school a treat in the shape of a trip from Waihenga to the railway Btation at Featherston in various conveyances, and from thence to Masterton by rail. About forty children and several adults came up, and after spending a couple of h'lurs in Mas tertnn, where they partook of dinner at Mr Ciirhett's they returned to Featherston, having enjoyed the trip very much. This occurrence speaks highly for the pub He spirit and kindly feelings of the Ij->wi.'!- Valley aeitlers. Messts Neil and iMckery very kindly conveyed the party i fi'jini and to the Masterton station free of charge. The present ruin, though welcome to graziers and market gardeners, is surely trying to'lie'feelings of those who have wheat or oat in stook or standing.

Manihera at Greytown, Mr Wardell re- ' marked that during the twenty-two years -- hg.had Hat on the bench, he had'never ' previously h.ad a case before him,, where a native liad- resisted the police'in the execution of their duty, but had always I found them to bo a law abiding people, and no doubt drink had a good deal to do J' with the present case, ■ The story of the maories ordering a i coffin before the party it was intended for 1 was.dead, has been eclipsed in the Wair- > arapa;. The sexton of a cemetery not a • hundred miles from Greytown, received ipstruotions on» certain day to dig a s child's gray?, and to be in attendance on • the following day as the funeral was to. i take place then. Tbe grave was dug, and '• the sexton was :in attendance; but after '. waitiug about sis hours beyond the ap--1 pointed time, went to ascertain the cause Of delay; when he was told that the child • .was.'not dead yet, It died and was buned !'• tv'pdjys after. •; , There|}}9uld be some keen competition .sit the. amalgamated sport; at Qreytown on > Monday, for there is scarely $ paddock or { by : road that has not got a traiuing course l' riiarked - out on it, and the amount of traiuing the local amateuri are doing bids fair to make it warm for auy competition coming from other places. The committee , have made-all arrangements for carrying out the sports; and from the liberal manner in which the publio are subaoribiog to the Bports jund, will have no { difficulty in faithfully paying all prize claims. The railway authorities are going- { to run cheap trains on that date, which, no doubt, will bring a large number of visitors from Wellington and other places. The privileges were sold by Messrs F. H. Woof} & Co. on Tuesday, when the following prices pre obtained Gates, £l|, bought in j Publican's Ijooth. G. Jones; Befreshuientgooth, ss, I), Barratt.

From the; time of their commencing business in Carterton they have repeatedly proved that they can withstand competition, no matter how strong.
