Forms may bo obtained from Mr Mnckay at the County offices Masterton'or.at any Post office. The following story goes to show how Mrs'Bahcroft learned by experience in what estimation those who were of the • stago,stagoyi:. wero. held by tho "respectable" people. An amateur entertainment was giyen. in aid of the Church building fund, and "somehow or other li tie Marie Wilton was asked to assist; " The programme,". she says, /■' was a varied one. My childish contribution of one or two. recitations caused quite a flutter among the ladies present, who expressed their approval loudly in suo'h remarks as ' Wonderful,'' 'Most interesting!' Doar littlo thing!' 'How clever I' And when tbo entertainment was over these'ladies asked to apeak to mo. I was taken, to. them'and passed from one to tbo other, undergoing'a kind of inspection, Tliey'k'issed' 'and petted mo, 'Whata sweet ohild-l' said ■ one-' What'lovely hair!' said another. The fuss they mndonbout hie was quite overpoworing, The gentleman who led me' to 'them, "-suggested to these ladies that tiiayralffht subscribe a -small';sum to purchase • mo. a : toy as a souvenir of consen.tid' eagerly,' and at once opened tlieii* clasped pags; ; and whilst hunting for their purses - naked,''with sweetest smileß,!wh'ose '-dear child of ap actor the cuijlcs vanislied and tho expressions changed in a way to '! have toned oveu lemons sour. The , bags wero closed with "a 'relentless click, and .tho .owners, muttered"' Oil I gracious!' '.'Horrid!' ' ( Qh,l dear I'. ■ 'Unfortunate child J' and dre#' back from,me as if plague-stricken';' The scene dwolt upon me, and J have uovor (orgotlin It,"

Ono side of the estabhslunent is devoted to male attiro, aud one largo window is devoted to the exhibition of. suits for cricketing, walkitig/dress, and church-' "oiiig, whilst a profusion of neckties < in allshadcß, hats in all shapes, gloves in every material, and shirts of. everyfashion complete a show not to bo beaten in Wellington. A visit to this onturprising firm will substantiate our remarks,

Tho Minister of Mines received a deputation of miners on his rocmit visit to the Marlborough District, with a view to getting ihe goldfioldo opened up,- but the Hoaorable was not very sympathetic: The necessity of i making' can roads wasurged upoiwMr Richardson, and when he hesitated about conceding it, there were niurmors., •" Lookhere," said ono romrh and ragged specimen of an old digger,;'' if yon idon'fc mako tho bioomin' road, I'll do it myself," at which thoro wsb a general laugh, and his wordß were regarded as fr<ith from the beer, of which'ho bad evidently a good supply on board, " Oh, you may laugh," ho remarked, " but look hero!" and this boosey old-speci-men of a miner, who was known lo ho without iash,Or credit, and ,whose clothes could hardly hang together, pulled a lump of quartz out of •his; trousers'pocket that fairly stnggore'd all' prtsont. In, the words of an eye-witness, "'lt was studded with gold, and -looked just like a bunch of golden grapes." "Do you soo that," said, the old miner to the Mimstor; "I can bring you .a wagon load of the same stuff," andthen, realizing that he hud opened his mouth too wide, he suddenly becamo dumb,and notwithstanding that the pump was worked freely, it wbuld't draw any tuoro.

The Standard is responsible for the Inflowing—Tho train from Wellington to (he Wairarnpa Tuesday night had no lights in the carriages, which doubtless is due to tho retrenchment policy. After leaving Feathorston it was next to impossible to see who sat opposite ill any of the carriages, awl a most amusing incident occurred on the journey between Feathorston and Orevtown. An elderly man had boon to Wellington, and when the train arrived at Featherston his wife, who appear* to have had a littlo outing during her husband's abseiico, took her seat while her lord and muster was having a nip. It was so dark that'when the husband (who goes by the name of John) came in, he did not recognise in the form at the far end of the cam'ago that of his wife. After Iho train eut into motion aii aquainfauce of Johnjs'bejari retailing a sad story of'domestic unlmppiness at homo,..and draw forth John's sympathy. '-'Ho "'declared that if it was his wife he'd "jump on her," if she didn't do vvhat he.itold her to do. "By George, if-i had ; your wife I'd tame her, and you're a fool to stand .vhat you do." Tho eloquence'of John was refreshing; but when-the train stopped at a certain station and John's wife came to the door of the carriage, it was plain to be seen that her temper was ruffled, arid as the pair went off in the, darknoss he was heard tosay, "I didn't kiiow'you'wore coining up." She made ho reply, but she rip doubt felt as if she would liko to jump on her spouse. We hope tho railway authoiities will m future put lights in the carriages. ■' , -Fkomthe hub.—Thoro is perhaps .no tonie offered to the people that possesses as niuch'roal iiitririsio value as Dr. Boulo's American' Hop Bitters.
