The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1890.

The great Augustine, when first be J interviewed some red-headed, blue- '. eyed natives of England, is reported to have said of them " not Angles but A-nplt!' In a similar spirit wo can imagino a prelate of the Empire ' city, after reading a pious political address which has recently emanated there from an unexpected quarter, rolling his eyes and exclaiming" not >fdim \m\, Angelica". Aiigelico has published art. exceedingly able and interesting manifesto to the electors of Port Nick. It is undoubtedly the ablest compilation of its hind which has seen the light during the present contest, A somewhat lavish repetition of the first, personal pronoun may by Bomo he deemed a blemish, but when it is remombered that the "I" is Angellco wo arc disposed to welcome in the words of the poet " unnumbered I's." What takes our fancy in Angelico's address is the faithful devotion he exhibits in the delicato but necessary task of putting salt on the tails of the birds he wishes to catcli, With unerring 'tact lis spreads his bait, Aiigelico is ;iifi friend Vf 'denominational education, 'anil p:'o*.ini? ilip" mm sity of inculcating Hie" plain bread truths of Christianity, and every honssfi Churchman' must vote for him., He sm'ea.ds his net for the mercantile bird with free trade and holds out a big bunch of carrots for the horny hauded vote in tlie'shopc of a progressive reduction of the hours of labor, Of course if Aiigelico gets into Parliament th?re will be no occasion for people, tq work at all! The next biggest vote jjei'hanjj f o the labor vote in the Empire City is the Civil Service vote, and the masterly manner in which Aiigelico expresses his devotion to the interests of Civil Sonant; ought to make an under secretly g)ied tears. Aiigelico binds the Civil servants t$ Ijiechariotwheels and drives on triumphantly, Of f coui'se ho is not connected in any'yay "with \ any .other.candidate, is pnly'oue; Augeljqo in the' cpntesL . Men like; Duthie and jjell .a)e on a, dechlodly lower level, and '.oven' the ; to'jMii Mi?sßrs Fraser, IjoLean J m)l ! )s'/!«iate candidate who could be t . ™. with him is aeorge Fisher. Some time ago it was lamented in Wellington that thore.was &o superlative for tho -positive Fish and the' cpnipamlke Fisher, but it is now evident that tho political superlative, tho missin« and progressive link, is discovered in Aiigelico,

The monthly meeting of tho Trusts of the Masterton Hospital will be held to-morrow (Thursday),. A. local policeman is a candidate for the Tiraaru seat at tbo forthcoming election. Not in the interests ot labor we presume. :

Tho present net debt of Now Zealand | as Btated in an elaborate return jub*> issued by tho Government Printer, i« *37,281,7G5, which money lws been borrowed under 28 separate authorities.

I have boon one, and bo I know,"

It was reported some weeks ago that rabbits had mado thoir appearance on tho Puketoi block. Mr Donald Donald informs us now that such is not tho case. Ho has made careful inquiries and states that no signs of rabbits have been Boen.

The peach trees in this district, says the Wanganul HeraU, appear to have outlived the parasitesby which they were' attacked. Old and youug alike are showing more blossom than have been soen on similar trees in this "locality for a number of years, Orohardists and others predict a heavy crop of that most delicious fcuit, tho peach, We quit 9 agree with' tho Napier Tdtqmpk that tho Manawatu Gorge Railway is a huge blunder, that it was not wanted, that the money has boen wasted, and. that.'whon finished it will be an endless exponso and always danporous. It is impossible to say when the line will be open, or when it iB. how long it can be kept so. •

Mr Alfred Saunders, in addressing his constituanta'the other evening, said that "tho bar to all useful legislation or administration is that incessant flood of ignorant gabble which his driven many of the best members out ot tlio House." A Westland school inspector records that one pupil said that " among the industries of Auckland was a largo pump that lifted ten tons of water per minute from a dopth of GiO miles;" while another said that "tho chief industry of Wellington is a House of of Parliament,"

A far net in Nov South Wales was fined £5 tho other day for threatening to shoot a book agent. ■ Wo tako this to mean ho was fined for stopping at tho threat. If- ho had carriod it out ho would, no doubt, have received a public ovation,

Aftov supporting tho labor organisations throughout tho strike in almost everything they haye done, the Lytteltoll Times now changes its tune, and advocates a separation Irom the Australians, who " cannot bo allowed to drag us at their chariot wheels any longor."

While an Indiana editor was at homo sick with typnoid fever and his wife and little daughter woro suffering with diphtheria and scarlatina, tho office boy clipped and published as a leader tho following' medical' note:—"Typhoid fover, diphtheria; and scarlatina aro tho results of human ignorance, stupidity, laziness, and-filth, rather than visitations of God," Tho children who attended the schools

in the Wairarapa at which tho lato Mr Buutin? rendered Bitch valuable service as a master, aro forming a' fund in recognition of the inestimable benefits thoy havo so. much occasion to bo giateful for, with which will be erected in the Feathorstpn cemetery ut memorial gravestone. No moroßiiitablo testimony of true regard could have beeii chosen. It will bo a visible token pf tho place their master occupied in the hearts of the children, whilo tho good that he did will live in their lives and bear fruit in years to come, perhaps silently but still surely.

The cozy pipe and. the luxurious cigar are among thoso things : whioh havo no savour of salvation in them.. Such is the decr'eo of General Booth, In the Salvation Army tho smoker is not wanted. He may join tho ranks if ho likes, but so long as be smokes ho will remain in the ranks, Prqiiiotiqu is not fqr him. Ho may not cvon beat the

big drum if in his momgnts. of pious relaxation ho burns tobacco, Mr SpurKcon has told us that ho smokes cigars "to tho. glory of God." Mr Booth prohibits them in tho namo of Salvation. His Army seems to bo in some dangsr of becoming an ongine for tho oxoessivo mortification of the flesh, Every man is already a teetotaller; and whon the;smokers have beon eliminated thero will bo no reason why tho eating of meat should not bo prohibited- Top much asceticjsjij.is thp f oc]s upon which a good many emotional religions inoyeuiontg hu'vo gnno "to wreck. With no beer amino tobaooo it will not be surprising it tho members of the Salvation Army aro more than ever anxious for Heaven.

Thero is a genial, jolly butcher, who (figuratively qotaup very early in the morninsf. At all events it is generally considered that what he does not know is not worth learning, Ho got a fright the other day when he heard that a rival in the trade had got a bit ahead of him by Boounng tho first batch of early lambs. Our friend had none, and the fact worried him a good deal, though it did not spoil his appotite. As ho inns the biggest business of the kind, ho felt that ho must put forth some special effort to cope with the emergency and keep up his reputation for being fully in pace, with the tunes, fleinv mediately announced that ho had lambs, and mado preparations accordingly. Ho picked out of a flock some of tho smallest h'n?Ket?'|io could espy, had (hem killed and dressed up in proper lamb fashion, minus the wool, mi lo and behold he had what passed off vory well n lambs, His reputation was sayc.d, and people are of opinion that it will bo a cold day when our friond gets left. Tho best pact of the joke is that the first customer for lamb was a well-known auctioneer, who is not altogether a novice in the butchoring trade, and he was heard to declare that the lamb was most excellent

-and we havo no reason to doubt him, for they were as fino' a lot of little hoggots as a man could wish to clap his eyes upon, But don't whisper" lamb" in tho auctioneer ear-it touchoshim in a sote place. And the butcher is as pleasant and jolly as ever, and smiles aloud whonever he thinks of the way ho fJ jattibcd down" 'the''auctioneer,— !
