Theto was considerable commotion at the Waipukurau Railway Station on Thursday evening last. The rcsidonts of the mcdel village were shocked by witnessing an elopement. The parties coilcorned wero a married woman, " fair, fat and forty,' and the gay Lothario was a young fellow of some 25 summers. As the train was about leaving the station for Woodvillo, a vigorous gt.oaning was got up by the bystanders and a fow pounds of rice sprinkled on the pair. Most peoplo thought brickbats or lumps of coal would have been more appropriate. However, the residents of the city of shrubs can congratulato themselves on boiug well rid of "bad rubbish." The Town Hoard should import a few gallons of carbolic, and have the village-well fumigated, so as to retore it to itspristiuc virtue.—Waipawa Mail. Tlio official relations between Lord AV olseloy and Mr Stanhope liavo, says Truth, becomo so seriously Btrained that it looks as if either 0110 or the other will have to go. Mr Stanhope is certainly not a 3ucccss as war secretary, being altogether unequal to the exigencies ef the post, Thinking only of the public interest, 1 should vastly like to see Lord Randulph Churchill at the War Office. That Lord Randolph will obtain this, or any other Cabinet post, from Lord Salisbury is most - improbable. The Tories say that, if they are to make any change, tlioy prefer to invite Mr Chamberlain to joiu them, rather than to receive again into favour Lord Randolph'. It is probably only a question of time when Mr . Chamberlain and his faithful' Jesso—still, aocording to themselves, Radicals—will tako office under Lord Salisbury, An American exchange, tlio Christian Advocate, tells a good story of a sick but loquacious preacher:—Ho offered a brief prayer, and arose to express his "regret that he could not proceed, He said it was a great disappointment to him. He had hoped that morning to be able to speak to them upon the following beautiful passage of scripture (announcing the text),ibut owing to ill-health ho should not bo able to do so, and would'merely state the lino of thought which he intended to communicate. After spenking for a while on that he said—"Jnthe'i evening had I dared to venture out, I should have hopoa to follow these reflections with a few remarks upon another subject" (announcing the text.) After a while a bell rung. He stopped, plaoed his hand to his head, aud said to one of the deacons, " What is that bell -ringing for?" Said he "That is tho one o'clock bell, and yon have spoken" about'two hours in telling us what you would have said to us in the morning and in the evening if yon had bepn well enough to Bpcali, '■;! :-V," '■ ■:■'■ < t ""

Oury and Jasparine, tho French conviots, were again brought before the Police Court, Auckland, yesterday oii a ohai'go of larceny of the yacht Martinet, at New Caledonia. Mr Williamson, for the prcaecution, stated that while it was net proposed to abandon the old charges,; there was another chargo of having been convicted in the French Republic of penal crimes The'.French Consul had I represented this to the Governor, who had issued his warrant for their arrest on the further chargo. He asked for a further remind of eight days. Dr Giles, who was on the bench, whilst granting the remaud, said he should have no hesitation in dismissiusr the charge of larceny if it were not for the fact that an officer would be horo in a few days from Noumea, aud that a new warrant had been issued. He had doubts whether he would grant a' further remand, as the course was altogether contrary to the spirit of our law. On discussing the estimates, the first on the list-Logislativo Departments, £l4,9ss—Sir Maurice O'Rorko mado a vigorous protest against tho actipn of ihe Executive in takjng upon tlwmselvos to rcrulate the salaries of officers of the. House without consulting the Speaker. If it only concerned tho Speaker's salary lie would, say nothing about it; but ho believed the step which had been taken was .pnly preparatory .to making the officers of the House officers of tho Executivo, He was glad lie spoke to a Committee ivlieii party spirit was not running high, and ho trusted they would be able to deal calmly with the questiou; and that wh'on they considered the trouble which took place 26 years ago when a similar attempt to this was made and- successfully opposed by his predecessor, Sir David Monro, they would not allow it now.' ;He hoped 'tho time would lieyor come' when the officers of the HouSe would': be made political, partisans ;• it would' be a sorry day for themwhen those .officers had to look to the Government of tho. day for their salaries and promotion instead of being directly, under the control of the House. Ho resented insinuations that lie had filled up appointments in tho House staff with his friends. Though it was true ho had appointed his son to tho position of leader, lliat, ho thought, was not a warrant for tho aspersions which had been made, seeing that ho had boon in office ten years. (Uheers). In conclusion ho warmly urged the Houso not to allow the Executivo to have control over and power to regulate the salaries of the officers of the House,—N.Z. Times. Tub Greatest Blessing,—A Bimplo, puro and harmless remedy, that cures every, time, and prevents disease by keeping tho blood pure, stomach regular, kidneys ami liver active, is tho'greatest blessing ever conferred upun man.
