These photographs aro genuine works of /art, and would well repay inspection when passing. The colours are so finely ' and delicately laid on as to give the appearance of a painting on ivory, and very much resemble in their exquisite finish the miniatures of our grandmother's days. The.se fine pictures, both plain and coloured, are now produced at wonderfully low prices. An amusing, theugh somewhat disgraceful scene, was enacted at the Salvation Army's afternoon meeting in Fahmtua on Sunday last. A well-to-do squatter, a horny handed son of toil, the Salvation Captain, and the local conetablo were the most prominent figures in the performance. The two first named, drawn together in the bonds ul Houee of Commons whisky, and by their joint desire of having a good time, proposed to amuse themselves and a select audience at the Army's expense, and things went happily enough until the Captain modestly expressed a wish that they would model their behaviour to tho existing circumstances, This gentle hint met with tho reception that was to be oxpected, Then tho representative of the church militant converted the Library adjoining the Hal) into a temporary and deposited them there undor lock and key, pending tho arrival of the police, and the Army function was forthwith proceedtd with. Tho appear ance of the policeman and the escapo of the prisoners from their temporary restraint wore coinoidont. As they had time for mntual reflection by that time and displayed the "better part of valor," no further notice of their untuliness was taken, Tho great Dr Johnson, lexicographer, essayist, and satirist, whose life has been lo faithfully depicted by his satellite Boßwell, it is said dearly loved" a dish of tea." Now we in New Zealand, like Dr Johnson, love " a dish of tea" also. In fact, tea may bo called the Colonial National beverage. Tea is drunk one may say irom theoradle to the grave, in these climes by tho princely squatter to the humble swagsman, in mansion, in cottage, in camp, everywhere is tho fragrant herb of the far East to be found. Now as tea is such a sine qua tm to the Colonial, and as Buch immense quantities are every day consumed, it is essential that it should be good—that is to say, pure and unadulterated, From one of the luxuries has become one of the absolute necessaries of life, and therefore question a hubs, " Where can wo good and pure tea ?" The 'answer is not difficult. The Empire Tea Company, of which Messrs W. and G. Turnbull and Co,, of Wellington, are tho principals, absolutely guarantee their delightfully blended teas as being pure and wholesome, and what is more to the point, they aro, owing to their immense turnover, strikingly cheap, A trial of the Empire Tea Company's various blends will quickly convince the most obstinate sceptic on this point, Tho Ohas. J, 8, Palmer Uompanv opetiß tp-night with " Lucinda" in the Masterton Theatre Royal, a detailed account of which piece has already appeared in our columns, Every placo the Company has yet visited has received f'Aunt Lucinda" remarkably well and, in some towns the residents became bo enthusiastic that they presented petitions asking Mr Palmer to prolong his season, A good audience should preet him at the Theatre Boyal to-night. Tho'.ollowingconversation was overheard in the'strcct the other dav, but for obvious reasons we shall omit the namo of one of tho parties; the other was the well known draper, tfr L, J. Hooper. Mr Spot Cash; r- 1 Is it true Mr Hooper that you intend -A opening the chop next yotir drapery establishment as a grocery and provision warehouse? Mr L.J.: " That is so, Mr Cash, and in about a week I shall be able to quote to.you the lowest prices for al kinds of general merchandise," Mr Spot Cash;" Good I I suppose you will keep only good goods and sell as cheap as anyone else ? "Mr L, J.; ■' You bet I The best and nothing but tho best, and every artiole at bed rock prices I Those are tho foundation stones upon which wo intend to erect our business," Mr Spot Cash: "Your hand my boy, My account with 80-and-so's worth three pounds a week, and I pay cash. I am not satisfied lately, I fancy Ipay more than I should do, So directly you open your business look upon me as a regular cus-pmer/'-Anvx.

At the tug-of-war in Wellington Jiial i ' uieht, Wules defeated Scotland, New ~ Zealand beat Scandinavia, and the V Englishmen put down tho Australians, !fl Tho Now Zealandera havo won five pulls and lost none,' and havo therefore ir won the first prize and tho champion- :), ship medal. Anothor labor organ has roaohed us, n This time it is " Tho Worker," a weekly :e paper published in Queensland in tho r- intoroats of cn-oporativo labour, Tho ). journal is well printed and contains a fund of interesting information, but as to the influence it will wield—well, it is hardly necessary to express an opinion. s At any rato if it only gives employment to a few of the hundreds of compositors ~ who aro on tile of starvation in Australia, it trill bo doing a good work.
