The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1884. MR MACANDREW.

Mr Macandrew lias been visiting Auckland, and while there has been interviewed by a representative of the Auckland Star and cross-questioned as to his views on tho'leading political questions of the day, This practice of interviewing has long been an institution in the United States, and it is perhaps a tribute to tho go-ahead character of Auckland journalism that it has been introduced into New Zea- ■ land. Mr Macandrew is the "Donald Dinnie" of provincial politics, and though since the abolition of-provin-cialism he has been a sort of dethroned monarch he still exercises a consideradlo influence on affairs of state. He might be leader of the Opposition, but contents himself with being his guide, philosopher, and friend. If the Opposition came into power ho would become a Minister as a matter of course did he care to accept office. He was, however, not an unqualified success when ho was a member of Sir George Grey's Cabinet, and is more likely to conservehispolitical reputation by keeping out of office, Tho Auckland interviewer, when he put Mr Macandrew through his facings, tackled an old soldier, He desired to know what Mr Macandrew thought of insular separation, and tho colony is now engaged in. trying to solve the riddlo of his answer, viz., he would maintain the unity of the colony, but would favor financial separation botween the two islands, This avowal would seem to indicate that " separation" may possibly be a feature of the policy of the Opposition. Another oracular statement made on this occasion by Mr Macandrew was that the Opposition did not desire to turn out the Government during the coming session, but would rather wait the issue of the general election, We take this to mean that the Opposition is still divided into the Montgomery section and the Grey section, and that theso two sections dislike each other more than they hate the Ministry in power. If Mr Macandrew could reconcile Sir George Grey and Mr Montgomery we believe that a vote of want of confidence in the Government would be tabled as soon as the House met, but if these heroes still remain' at daggers drawn, the Government can afford to carry matters in that high handed fashion which is so congenial to Major Atkinson but so detrimental to the interests of constitutional Government,

Mr Mitcholscn, reports the Examiner, expressed his opinion to the Woodville deputatioirwhioh. wailed on him on Tuesday, that from he had seen of the land between Woodville and Masterton, there was a graud future in store for the district, .

It wns reported that the roturna demanded by the Government had been made out and sent in, and the sum'of £3 was voted to the Secretary for the .extra work entailed in their preparation. After transacting ordinary business and arrangiug for meeting the delegates of other orders on matters affecting Friendly Societies, the Lodge adjourned, Some uneasiness Bayß the Wit was occasioned in the City this morning by the circulation of rumour to the effect that the referigorating machinery of the Shaw-Savill-Albion Company's vessel Lady Joeelyn had broken down, placing the cargo of nearly 10,000 carcases of mutton in jeopardy, On nuking enquiries, we find than a plaio in one of the two boilers was ascertained to be weak, rendering it desirable to effect repairs. The steam was reduced sufficiently lo enable the work to be proceeded with, and it is expoctod that everything will be all right by to-morrow, The vessel will sail for London early on Thuesday. " Among the regulations of the newly formed church among the Zulus in South Africa was tho following:—"No member of this church shall be permiited to drink I the white man's grog or native beer, nor touch it with his lips." Tho vast majority of the inhabitants of Persia aro Mohammedans, the total number of dissenters only numbering Y'i.OOO. Tho latter consists of Armenians Nestonans, Jews, Koords, and Guebres or Parsees. Tho Mohammedan faith is held by the Persain or dominant race, and the Koords. The Jews and Guebres are few in number, and suffer under great oppression, A pair of knitted socks, 200 years old, has been discovered in an Egyptian tomb, They are loosely'knit of fine sheep's wool, and the foot is finished in two parts to allow tho sandal strap to paS3 between them, In a case in which, by will, onethird of an estate was left to "first cousins." and two-thirds to "second cousins," it has been decided that the "second cousins" are not, as many suppose, first cousins once removed, but persons descended from the same greatgrandfather. There are about 17,000dentistsin the United States, and they pack into the teeth of the American people, says the Cleveland Herald, a ton of gold every year.

About four millions of false teeth aro manufactured in the country every year.

They are detectives specially told off. by the authorities for this service. They never lose sight of her while she is on the stage, and one of them is stationed at the door of her dressing-room. When tho performance is over, she carefully puts back the jewels in their case, and hands them to her body-guard to take back to the hotel.
