The starch is taken out of tho 'supercilious masher; tho flowers fade fast from tho cheek of beauty;; enamels crack and cosmetics evaporate. Tho great-statesman, whoj governs' the destiny, off nations.'lien' grovelling on his back; the orator who charms ; senates into rapt attention strives vainly to gain tho ear of tho flying stewards; and it is possible that an archbishop or a cardinal 'seeks' consolation; in tho offhand "ministrations' of them'ookingcabia-boy.''. ■■.. , The record for the conducting of: the ordinary business of. the -Mastcrton Uorough by the local Council was broken last evening, v.'lien fifteen minutes was the whole time occupied.

A six-year' old daugVer. of.'Mr T. Dixon met with a painlul accident at tho Ma-,t>:rSon Public SchO'Toil Monday afternoon 1 last.., It appears that a number of children were playing' in the grounds tlurine an interval,- when. it.is asserted by some .of them,, the. child in question was struck forcibly by' a swing. The unfortnnate givl was convoyed in a .sonsolosj condition' to tho adjoining sheds, and thence to hor home, where it was discovered that hor collar bono had bain fractured. Medical skill was called', into requisition, and we learn that the .■little sufferer is progressing as favourably a's'can be ejpectedtowards recovery. An extraordinary rumour found currency yesterday afternoon, says, the , Times, nothing less than the committal of a brutal murder in the neighbourhood, of TiuakOri-rnad being the substance. There woro details, quite consistent, of throat cutting and the. arrest of the . monster who committed, tho' deed .by three policemen, but we are thaukful to say there was nothing, in it, But how did; it originate ? Who' does' tho manufacturing busmesa'hi such a caso? Thero must be hallucinatioir about or olso wilful or corrupt perversion"of the' truth out of sheer malignancy. There is a dnngorous. place in the mill creek, Queen-streo't, where persons take their horsos in for water. :'At noon to day a light trap and horso driven by young Shepherd, and owned- by Mr T. Thompson, oame to grief thero, and tho horse'was nearly' drowned. .The boy was proceeding to Mr' Thompson's farm with the mon's dinner, and tho. horse being inclined for a drink ho let it iro off the road into tho creek, when suddenly the left wheel sunk in a-holo andtho .horse floundered in tho mad and water, Mr Jsmos Thompson was in tho : neighbourhood, and one or two others, and they speedily rosoued tho lad. and horso 1 from their dangerous position.: A- couple' of cart horses had to be hitched on to the'cart before it could be got out. - ; Our Wellington corespondent write' as- follows:—A dispute - of- a rather serious nature has'occurred between the .Wellington Woollen Company and thoir employees, and it is feared- that ihe mattor may ...ond' in ].& strike. Tho difference seems to have originated in regard to' the number of hours worked by the night shift,'also that the mode of changing the night shift was unsatisfactory, 01 her'grievances have sinco been brought up, the immediate one being the discharge of fifty-nine cf tho employons; who allego thoy wero dismissed because they wero in favor of forming a Union. This tho i Company denies, and states that tho night shift was disponsod with owing to a large surplus of goods being on band. A mass meeting was hold last night in Wellington.' but other than to record votes of syinpathy'with tlio action of mill hands, nothing was done, The affair has, of course, caused a good deal of commotion in Potone, where tho majority ol the 226 persons (who woro up to Saturday last in the Company's employ); reside. Through tho stoppage of night work tlio number is nowreduced to 167. Should the matter end in a strike it will bo severely felt in Petone, as there is no otheftwork about that could bo obtained,.lt was rumoured that the hands woidd be called out today, but thoy are still working, .113 having'.joinod the union, Circulars aro posted -asking persons not to seek employment atthomills nntil tho dispute is settled, Tho girls m a certain department, loarning that one of the foremen who is very-popular was discharged, left their looms, and until the manager had promised to reinstate hiinj would not resume operations, l ' : '■
