. Deterring to the forthcoming Parliamentary elections, the Catholic Times says:-My correspondent appears 1 to think tliat Mr Hawkins will be a candidate, but I hardly think so, Onco no doubt the laudable ambition fired his patriot soul, but thero would hardly bo room in Parliament for both Mr Hawkins and Mr Jellicoe, and certainly no session would bo long dr.ougli for both to deliver to the Huuse the enormous masses ot political information which thoy aro not in possession - of,. Thorof.oitld be a certain indeccnoyin tlio rival candidaturo of two gentloiqen whoso souls aro as'inextricably mixed up as the souls of Messrs'Jollicoe and Hawkins. Damon could not anger Phytias or Jonathan David by contesting with him an election. Still it iB tho unexpected that always happens, and wo may' bo treated to the harrowing speotaclo of a contest between these bosom friends. It would be very embarrassing, nevertheless. For a long time the identity jof Mr. Hawkins has so merged in the ideutity ot Mr Jellieoo that it will be extremely difficult to sort themont even at the hustings, Mr, Hawkins' chief claim, upon his countrymoil consists in. tho.-fact that lie is a most ardent Protectionist/and a connection: of tho lato-'-lamented Mr Rawkius, th'o Buccaneer. , I should not have mentioned this latter fact had not Mr. Hawkins Ijimself made it publicf property during tho recent election in the Wairavapa, at tho close of which his revered ancestor was hurled, garbed In 'sea-boots and a I demoniacal smilo, from tho house-tops and dismembered by infuriated voters. is a woll-informcd and courteous gentleman, of nio3t brilliant conversational parts, who has novor developed any piraticail instincts since lie relinquished, if I am '-correctly informc,d,'tho profession of the law.

We liavo taken the opportunity to inspect th>) artesian wellinMoreton Road, Carterton, regarding which Mr Charles Haines, in this aud in a provious issuo has given our readers some particulars. .The wollis the property of •Mr James Martin,and was sunk by itsowner. Its site is on a slight deration of about) twelve feet abuvo tho surrounding country. Tho pipes aro an Inch and a half (Mr Haines inadyertontly mentioned them as two inches), and the flow is even more,than what was previously stated, it is liino feet two inches clear of tho ground,.. A four gallon tub was filled in

furty-five seconds. This vessel was held aloft, thus at the ground level tho: output might be safely estimated at ; fifteen gallons n minute.. Mr Martin,. we understand, got his hints maiuly from, a practical well sinker at tho Hutt, rather than from .Mesßrs Ballinger Bros. The Carterton Borough Council, as will bo seen by a report in another column,-liavo decided to forthwith sink a.well in tboir

township, and will avail themselves of Sir Martin's aid in doini> so. Tho old adago that" a rolling atone gathers no nioss"is not always applicablo, and wo have an instance tc tho contrary before us. A mob ofcaitlo wore, being recently driven from Hawkes Bay through tho Forty Mile Bush, and we arc informed tbat for, some reason unaccounted for tho numbers- were swelled at each stopping-place, until, when reaching their destination, it was difficult to discover which was the original herd, And it appears that a well-known." farmor's wife," of Mauriceville, about tho time of this passage of tho Israelites, discovered that one of the boat of her dairy cows had disappeared, Accordingly she,- like tho Philistines, proceeded in hot pursuit, but with far greater success, for at Grcytown alio '' spotted" tho lost cow, and with , a stentorian voice called r>ut tho familiar namo by which the animal was known in the dairy. It was amusing to see tho frantic careering of tlio cow, which lobl

no time In sevoring itself from the com-

pany of its kin and proceeded to tho bosom of its mistress. Tho good wile returned to Mauriceville, followed by tlio cow, rejoicing in that "the lost was found."

As I stroll through tlio Auckland Art

Gallery with Captain Shillington, writes "the Vagabond" iii his sketciios now being published In the Auckland Weekly News, 1 come to tho conclusion that wo want a Sir George Groy' and a Mr Mackelvie in Victoria. Sir George Grey's gift includes such examples of tho old masters as Raffaelle, Cuyp, Velasquez, and Murillo. I am disappointed,howover, that thero aro not more paintings of New Zealand. scenery here'. A very fine landscape, "A Bond in the Waiwora River," by E.W. Payton, a Birmingham artist, was presented to. the Auckland Art Gallery, having bean purchased at tlio exhibition of tho Auckland Socioty of Arts in 1887. This, according to Mr Whitcombe, was lost to the citizens of Auckland in the most extraordinary manner, an example of snobbishness equal to anything I have mot in tho most snobbish communities in tho Old World. Shortly before the exhibition closed the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen visited Auckland,and during thoir stay weut over the Society of Arts Exhibition. The Countess was much struck with Mr Payton's picturo and expressed a desiro to purchase it. This being ropresent°d to tho donor, tbat gentleman informed tho Mayor that he was quite willing the painting should be presented to tho Countess, and was, in fact, desirous that the donation should bo made by the Mayor in the name of tho citizens ot Auckland, should his Worship bob no objection to tins course being pursued. Tho presentation, as requested, was mado accordingly, and "A Bend in the Waiwe'ra Rivor," now adorns the gallery of Haddo Boubo, Abordeonsliiro, tlio country seat of the Earl. 1 wonder what we should say in Melbourne if the trustees, of our National Gallory presented Bnvelot's "Watcrholo at Colerainc" to any patrician globo-trotter who might take a fauoy to it? Tho Birmingham artist is no doubt- happy that his work should adorn the residence of a " belted earl" instead of being gazed at by the plebeians of Auckland. Mr E, W, Payton is in other respects the luckiest of.men, and has reacon to bo ffrateful to Captain Copk for having discovered New iealand.
