•The following incident wijl shew that it 1b necessary for business men of the present'dayto study roguery in ,ali ita branches, to be able to. compete, successfully against the dodges practised by sSme bf their customers.

Like the unemployed at Dunedin—and

prop&bly elsewhere for that matter—those at work on the Greymwtb-Hokitiki railway lino are rather lmprovidont, says tho Weekly Argus, and generally celebrate I each pay day by a day or two days' spree afterwards, Coining along the road a few days ago,.a traveller sought shelter from the cold and wet in a shanty not a huHdrod miles away from where the unemployed are working, and enquired if he : could' have • something to drink to counteract the effect* of his exposure to ■Jihe.elpinents. He at this 1 same time obiserveithat ono division of the primitive roadside place, was fullor'' moh arinkincr, 'smoking; and playing cards.. • The landlord remarked in a'n unoonoerned sort of way that there was not: a single drop of spirite.iri the place, addiu'g, : 'with a side /look over his shoulder at the festive crowd ; m the atherapartment. " The boys have been for;the last hour, on 'Farmer's' .Friend'(whatever that may be), but I have a lovoly drop of ohlorodyne." It is iiDceßsaiy. to state that the traveller, cold and wet as ho was, did not partake of either "Farmer's Friend" orcnlorodyne.

A dispenser of dead meat in our midst, whoso name has been rather froely mixed up with certain love affairs lately, received ji leaaou on " woman's rights" a tew events ago that is likely to' make a lasting impression on his mind. Having been expunged from the family circle of his fair one, something like scandal was traced to'have emauatodfrom him against a married lady member of the family.' Tins lady enticed the gay Lothario into hor house on the pretext of soiuo important) business, first taking the precaution to plant a serviceable stick in a handy situation, ready-for use. On the pair, setting inside,- the door was shut, and the. business commenced, Judging by the murderous yells issuiup from the dwelling, followed by the sudden rush of the gay one.over gardbn and fences, and the fact that his hat seemed far from being eomf ortable on his head, owing to sudden phrenological developments, we are in-. alined to believe the lesson .was well'and vigorously rubbod in. Wlvat seemed like a balm to his wounds, was the voice of the lady's husband, which in exultant; itones proceeded from the depths of the bed : clothe«.in the Mowiug truthful strain; ,f tou are'gritting it hot, old man I"

' At a reeont committee meeting of the H. B. Jockey Club, the programmes for the ensuing seoaon were arranged, Two important alterations wore made in the rules and regulations, namely, that no nomination or acceptance would be received on any pretence whatever unless actually aceompaniod by the necessary amount in cash, and ia accordance, with the. new rules inflicting: a fine not exceeding twenty sovereigns on all persons hot withdrawing horses at least half an, hour before the official time of. starting, '"The added money for tho year was increased from £soooto £5560.

A Press telegram from Auckland received this morning the' report of a serious acoidont:—As; the 'Rotomainahana was leaving for Sydney last evening, a cab-horse swerved alongside, the cab going over and getting jammed botwoeu the wharf and the ship. A lady insido,' Mrs Atwell/fell into tho sea, also the cabman named Menzies. Tho traces wore cut, but the hone' got drowned. The steward of the Rotomahana,; named William Smith, jumped ovorboard .and rescued the woman; He" got kickod .in the |o)naoh,by:'the'Btruggling horse in the watoi' btit not seriously. Menzios : 'was gotoutinsafety. . At the annual, meeting of the Auokland Racing Club, the report stated that during the yearthe Club had disbursed in stakes £8997, against £6092 for 1884-85. Fivo hundred audsixty pounds were spent in improvements. The 'receipts of the Summer Meeting exceeded the expenditure by £3IOO, and the recoipts. for ,'the. other: meeting were in proportion. Four thousand nine hundred' and sixty-four pounds were spent on the new grand stand, loavimr a balauce of £3OOO still to nay, towards.; which chore is £2200 in hand. The report was adopted, and'a direction was given to the Committee to regulate the use of the totalisator at countiy meetings by insisting upon a certain proportion of added money, to put on end to merely " publiehouso" nibotings.

Messrs Lowes & lorns report attend' ance good at their stock sale yostorday. 150 cattle wore yarded, and 400 sheepi all lines selling under the hammer.

At the meeting of the Wairarapa East County Council'yesterday, Cr McCardle, in moving the confirmation of thominutes, took advautage to refer to a certain letter that had appeared in a. local paper, signed Robfc. S. Hawkins.' Statements appeared in that letter that were not altogether correct.. If the writer of that lettor and Cr Hawkins were one and the same person he thought he should take advantago of the meetings of Council to dißcussany matter relating to members lof that body. Ho denied.that he had got the day of meeting altered to Buit his own pocket. His reason for asking that concession'from the Couuoil was that the two meeting might not olash. Cr Good, in Boconduip the motion, said he thought the question of paying Councillors' travelling exponsos was one of principle, 'lu .New Zealand it was customary to pay uiombers of the House,' and in a young district ho thought members could not afford to bear the expense of journeying to the meetings,
