Mr James Smith, of Te Aro House, Wellington, has just senD to our office an ex•jeedincly attractive and well got up sale price list. There is a novelty about it that we do not often meet with, as it not only affords a great deal of information about the sale of surplus winter stock, which commences on Friday next, but it gives a short and succinct history of the rise and progress of this widaly known and favorite warehouse. The sketches of the original site of the various buildings erected on it from 1845 to the present date, and the short descriptive account of each are lull of interest, shewing cleaily the advance and progress of the Colony, and with it Te Aro House. We have a few copies b> us obtainable by a call at the office of this paper.

It is stated that the Government intend taking no further action in the dummyism case against Mr Coleman Phillips.

Mr. J Carpenter, of the Central Boot Mart, has a special announcement in our columns to-day, which will repay perusal. A Chinaman of Greytown with the respectable sobriquet of Kow Kee, has set an example which might well be emulated by the Celestials of Masterton. tie makes regular donations of cash and vegetables to the Greytown Hospital. It is reported that holders of £30,000 worth of New South Wales stock in London have sold, becoming alarmed at the labour moyement in the colony. Sir George Grey headed a large deputation to the Premier last night to urge .the claims on tne Colony of Mrs C. Brown for her late husband's long services to the public. The deputation accepted the advice of the Premier to approach the House by petition. The Greytown Mock Parliament has been so far a great success. It is a matter of surprise that something of the kind has not been started in Masterton. At present we cannot boast of possessing even a Debating Society.

At Melbourne recently a Councillor mentioned that dullness in trade and general depression amongst x <he working classes had resulted in a most undeairatile state of affairs, viz., the practice of two or more families residing in one house. In some cases there were as many as four families living in a four-roomed cottage This statu of things would bring the. city into a condition quite as bad as Whitechapel. No action was taken.

The Chairman of the Papawai Native School, Mr H. Pratt, has received a letter from the Rev W. J.

While the unmarried women of the year 2000, whether young or old, will enjoy the dignity and independence ot the bachelor of to-day (says Mr Edward Bellamy in the Ladies Rome Journal for February), the insolvent prosperity at present enjoyed by the latter will have passed inta salutary, if ead eclipse. No longer profiting by the effect of the pressure of economic necessity upon women, to make him indisposable, but dependent exclusively upon his intrinsic attractions, instead of being able to assume the fastidious airs of a sultan surrounded by languishing beauties, he will be fortunate if he can secure by his merits the smiles of one. In the year 2000 no man, whether lover or husDand, may hops to win the favor of maid or wife save by desert. While the poet, justly apprehending; the ideal proprieties, has always persisted in representing man at the feet of women, woman has been, in fact, the dependent, and pensioner of man. For all that, we can never usurp the material functions of a woman, and when all the " women" are turned into parsons, politicians, laywers, merchants, clerks, 'bus drivers, and all kinds of workers, what is to become of us men ? Are wo going to atop at home and perform the usual duties of domesticity. Would it not bo a great metamorphosis ? Fancy a man staying in the house on a race day, affording the necessary material nourishment to his three days old baby. Bead what D.

A matter of some interest, we should like to say of all absorbing interest, to the settlers in those localities through which this paper circulates ia not the meeting of our Houses of Parliament, not the political questions and policies therein discussed, not the attitude and bearing of the Labor paity, the opposition or the Ministerialist, but the great sale of surplus Winter Stock, commencing on Friday, July 81st, at Te Aro House, Wellington. Country residents, thousands of whom have visited our previous sales and who went away rejoicing with empty purses but with large parce's, have every reason to remember them with pleasure. Now, another of these " old time" Sales of Surplus Winter Stock will wait the push of customers from the country on Friday, the 31st July, and up to Saturday, August 15th, at Te Aro House. Wellington. There will be no mistake about the lowneas of the prices, many goods are at half price, and some even less than that.
