An English journal, in an article on the Panama Canal, aayß:—" At present the readiest means of communication between Great Britain and Australasia is through the United States, and thence by San Francisco to New Zealand; but when the Panama Canal li brought into operation it will not be necessary for English paisengeu and English goods to adopt a circuitous'route across Norlk America, as they will be enabled to cleave their way without break of bulk direct from London to Auckland.. This ought to be a great boon to New Zealand, as it will unite that colony more closely with the mother country and assist in endowing it with what is so much required, viz,, a ready market for its product. The benefit which the Panama Canal seems likely to eonferupon New Zealand will also be shared indirectly by other .Australasian colonies, and'M. de Lesser* is likely virtually to help forward the great cause of colonial federation.

If what the Evening Press hears is true the filial disposal of the remains of Dr Fell's horae, which was killed in Willisstreet the other day, includes certain humorous features. It appears that the dead horse was carted to Kilbirnie and there turned out on the beech. This happened to be sufficiently near the house of a gentleman named McEwen to be objectionable, and Constable Stewart being communicated with, the carter as we understand waa looked up and directed to remove the equine remains further towards the sandhills. The carter goes to work, and to facilitate haulage divides tho carcase in two. On his way to the sandhills he passes McEwen's residence, and there sees the good wife, whom he perauadea to allow him to throw the two halveß over the fenco for the fowls to pick out. McEwen returning home at dusk in the evening nearly tumbles into space over half a dead horse and is proportionately furious. Tableau! Then the finale came in, McEwen and a neighbour having set to work to bury tho carcase, whioh the former had been instrumental in getting " moved on."
