A letter has just been received from Melbourne by an Auckland resident from a relative in that city. He is an artisin, and says:—There are over 11,000 men out of employment in Melbourne.

It is believed they would not have done this but (hat the elections are approaching, and they are afraid of the labor vote. To give you an idea of the distress caused by the strikes, the depression, and the floods, I may tell you that I see crowds of fine muscular fellows waiting every day for a basin of soup.

Now-a-days wo are exposed to dangers that our fathers never experienced Our ancestors never lw-t their lives by contact with electric cables, boiler or gas explosions, or tram accidents; these perils were unknowu in their days. Modern civilisation has much to do with the present rate of mortality. The Struggle for existence and race for wealth enervates the body, wears the people out. and hurries them injto the grave at a pace unknown in earlier epochs. The continual physical and nervous strain impairs the vitality of even thp most robust constitution, and jbhe result is that liver complaints and nervous diseaies are universally prevalent and energetic treatment is necessary, or chronic (Unease will inevitably set in.

A local resident (says the Manawatu Standard) made an extraordinary discovery the other day at mea". time. He was dining at his usual place of resort when he found the contents of his share of veal and ham pie included a set of artificial teeth. How they got there is a mystery, but one lady in the house had been very silent of speech that day, »nd the ownership was imputed to her. A change of venue was the result, without formal application. The following was cabled from London on 13th July, to the New Xork News Agency :—Some time -ago Abingdon Baird, Mrs Lily Langtry's ''protector," bought the York House at Regent's Park for the actress, and also paid off her debts in connection with the Princess Thsatre, of which he is at present the leaseholder. On a recent occasion Riird returned home unexpectedly, and found a young gentleman dining with Mrs Langtry. Without more ado he proceeded to show him the door, and then he * went for" the lady known as " The Jersey Lily," knocked her down, and kicked her m the face in such a way that it is said she is now disfigured for life. Mrs Langtry had to be carried to bed, and attended by a surgeon, who declares it probable she will never be able to act again. The injured woman began an action for assault against Baird, but when he had sobered up he repented of what he had done, went to the hcuie, and paid her £25,000 in bank of England notes, to salve her wounds, and prevent an action bemg brought.

The Auokland Star has the following: —Everyone who moves about hears ot or knows the genial Carey, now commander of the Monowai. He brought out from America the divine Sara Bernhardt. She admired his cherry, rubicund face ; who dees not ? The farewell scene was very touching. He advanced to bid her aw revoir She came forward to meet hiin, end according to the custom of her covmtij, presented her right cheek for salutation. The old man was a bit nonplussed at first, but his experience, added to his presence of mind, soon enabled him to take in the position, And he threv both bis arms around her, and sainted both cheeks before the asconished artist could recover her position. As the audience was a large one, there were loud calls for an encore, but Sarah did not Carey about it. The Southern News says :—Accounts received in from Mount Zeehan speak most hopefully of the futare of the field. All who have gone from Southland are doing well. Of course there are many idle on the roadside to Zeehan, but the.'.e are mostly ne'er-do-wells who flock to the scene of eveiy supposed rich mineral discovery expect* ing to live like lords without working. The climate is pretty wet, and this does not agree with some. Those who have been brought up in Southland, however, are insured to all kinds of weather, and as hard as nails; hence their success in the roughing incidental to pioneer work. Some on the field have sent tor relatives here to follow them, Que Invercargillite has had a singular etroKe of luck. While oyer at Zeehan some two years ago, before the silver boom commenced, he took' up an area of ground, and he now finds, on returning, that the railway station is to be built right opposite it, thus making it one of the most valuable aUotmentb in the rising town.
