A correspondent of the Standard atfltes that a litnpetonce captured a hare, This feat ww accomplished at a part of the Northern coast of Scotland on a dry warm day in summer. The limpet's shell was a little removed from the faco of the lower portion of the rock, when a hare, approached, and observing the moist flesh of the mulluso, endeavored to moisten its totiguo by contact with the watery-looking morsel. Instantly the limpet closed on to tho- Hock, pinning the hare fast by its tongue. A man at a short distance observed the whole inci dent, and, running forward, seized the hare, killed it, and took it home to his family. A few nights ago, says tho Advocate, a young Marlon cyclist', passing through Sanson on his way homo, got oti'his steed and left it outside the fonce, while he paid a visit to an an old friend. Coming out afterwards to resume his journey, ho was chagrined to find that his charger had escaped. To and fro he wandered in the dark looking for his mount, like Saul for his asses, and like him, ending his quest by taking to prophecy, because ho could not find it and had to stay the night. With daylight, however, ho renewed the search, and finding it inside the fence of a very honest citizen, ho took possession and wont on his way, speculating upon the wonderful works of the Sanson larrikins,

A good Instance, of a neat diplomatic rejoinder ia embodied in a story regarding Count, Herbert Bismarck on the occasion of .the German Emperor's visit to Borne last year. It appears that at the railway, station Count Herbert, who is not renowned for tho suavity of Ins manners, pushed rudely against an Italian dignitary, who was watching the proceedings. The dignitary waßi'reatly incensed, and remonstrated very forcibly against such unceremonious treatment, whereupon Count Herbert turned round haughtily and said,' ,! 1 don't think you know who I an), lam Count' Herbert fjjsmaick." _ '' That,' 1 roplied the Italian, bowing politely, ''as an excuse is insufficient, but as an explanation It is amplo."

TLoso who were present at the per. formanoof "Inana" at the Theatre Eoyal iaat night, were not disappointed in seeing something* truly marvellous and beyond the kon of ordinary individuals.

Mr T. D. Thompson, whose disquali Dcationbythe Hutt Hack Raco Olub we recorded yesterday, has written to the Olub Stewards to the effect that he absoluUy refuses to apologise for tho language he is allowed to have made use of. He informed them that during tho fifteen years he has raced in the Wellington f rovince nothing approaching dishonesty in- wotd or action has of or been attributed to him and.he thanks the Stewards tor giving him and opportunity of quitting the turf with an unstained namo, at the same time pointing out that in his opinion, the action of the clubs officials at their recent meeting waß not of a character to encourage honest sport. We understand that Mr Thompson has disposed of Oleander and Little Scr b- and intends to quit the rest ot his racing stock as soon as possible. Wairarapa and Wollineton sportsmen will regret to hear this as he is looked upon ut one of the most honest and enthusiastio racing men,
