Talking of claimants to titles reminds me (Dimcdin Star's London corroapon. dent) of a bit of gossip 1 heard the other day about tho "boss" claimant of the century—the immortal "Sir Koger."

There seems less money in journalism every year; yet countless young fellows are going in for it. The London 'Star' has seven or oight smart men two or three of them fresh from the Vimiity, on its staff. They, get no salary for the first six months, during which the sub-editor develops them as best he can. At tho end of the probationary period the usoks men go and the promising men are put on tho salary list. For every personal " par" accepted from outsiders the 'Star' piys 2s od. The sub-editor lias, scores to select from every day.—Exohango, Mrs Proctor having come on to Kew-j York to claim the body of her husband (says tho American corrcspondoiiUf tlio Sunday Timos) found it on ico ready to be triuiflfeircil to her, and the authorities were willing that sho should take it to 'Ensdaud; but it was temporarily interred at Greenwood. This is a confession by tho Board of Health authorities that Mr' Proctor did'not die of yellow fever. He had malarial fever; he was taken from his hotel at ui»luV in a terrible cold storm awl died. What else could any fever patient' do under the circumstances ? The hotel wsb the I Westminster, where Gharleß Dickens [used to;atay. Tho room occupied by Mr Proctor, was disinfected. .The; next -night a friend from tho Lotos Olub went to the hotel and occupied an adjoining room to test the yellow fever theory, There was no result. It. is unfortunately certain that Mr Proctor was hastily and ignorantly. sacrificed to the yellow fovor scare in How York. Mrs Proctor is on her way to England, " Outsider," writing in the Taranaki Herald upon" Our Education system" is rather rough upon School Committees, Ho remarks:—Let us now draw our attention to the School Committees, these august and impartial (!) bodies; a truly great boon to Society are they not ? How many members of each committee can spell or write their own narao? Very few I fancy. Do those men put up for tho oxaltod position of being n Committee man because they really take an interest in educational matters, or is it beoauso this one has a son who wants the firewood job, and that one an aunt who would like to have tho cloauing ofjthe School? I think tho latter the more probable. What a happy time for an educated man, under the superinlendauce of such men as thesol! . At tho usual meeting nf theMosgiel Woollen Faotory Company a re port recommending a dividend of 8 per cent was adopted, Mr John. Roberts, the Chairman, in reviewing the history of tho years operations, said it had been a satisfactory and pleasantono, Thoy had started with misgivings, as tho prospects were gloomy, but they wero now much more cheerful. _ Referring to the Molbuimw Exhibition, he said tho exhibits of tho Company's goods wore not only appreciated by every New Zcalandor, who visited the Exhibition, but had been a universal object of attraction to all who attended, Victorians and pooplo from other colonies wero not slow tc give praiso to these goods, and the ejlbrt made by tho Company hall been very lipdsqiiiely rowar<|ed jn causing on increased demand for the Mosglel goods, und the sales that had resulted since tho opening ot the Exhibition had amply repaid'the Company for the outlay. Messrs'E, B. Cargill and 11, F. Hardy were re-olocted Directors. It was decided to authorise the directors to subscribe £250 towards the guarantee fund of the local exhibition,

If you can beat that for cheek out your way, walk up and tako the cake." The London Special of the Dunedin Star reports tho following :-T|ie sol ilkwl son and hpjr of Ejirl/tyiilctt, {lip e'stirfijtblb'' Viscount' Hinion, has, after trying various more or loss reputnblo methods of obtaining a livlihood, hit on a novel means of utilising his birthright.
