Forty, fivo sacks of apparently valuable paper were tossed into the furnace of the vessels boiler, under the longing eyes of the stokers, who stood restlyely by with an evidently burning deaire to possess themselves of at least a handful of that which they somewhat inelogantly styled "rum fuel," Tho notes were cancelled documents of the Bunk of Algiers, whoso manager superintended the operation of their absolute oombustion.

A allocking tragedy ocourred at Morpoth, Woßb Maitland, recently. It appears that a youth named John Morton, aged 19, residing with his atenfather, Joseph Tricklobank, procured a'doublebarrelled gun for tho purpose of going shooting. His stepfather objected, and a quarrel ensued, ending in Morton stepping up to Trioklebaiik and discharging both barrels at him. The shots shattered the unfortunate man's breast, causing almost instantaneous death. The affair has created a great Bonsation. An exchange says that a picked crickot team of eleven lawyorn from Liverpool played a picked eloyen lawyers from ' Manchester. The day was fine, so a large company assembled to see which lot of I lawyers tad the best practice. With the first ball of the second over a dispute arose, and the twenty-two lawyers gathered around the umpire to argue the point, The argument continued with no signs of abatement till 5 o'clock in the evening, when the umpire died. Tho greatest astonishment was felt by the onlookers that he held np so long as ho did, considering what he had gone through, A good story Is told of the sojourn of the Jubilee singers in Dunedin. They stayed, while in tho southern oity, at the Grand Hotel, and at the dinner table one night they met a " new arrival" fresh from tho Old Country, and with vory hazy notions as to things colonial. He seemed favourably impressed by them, and next day startled his acquaintances by remarking that he had no idea the Maoris woro so civilised, and that he thought thoso that he had met at the Grand on tho previous evening must certainly have boen chieftains and ohjeftainesses I He was Bomewhat surprised, however, that none of thorn were tatooed !

Governments olten receive pecu lar requests, says the Post, but none mora peculiar, perhaps, than that of a gentleman residing in London, who requests the Government, tna letter received yesterday, to forward him full details rb to the habits and customs of the Maoris, together with portraits of the daughters of the chiefs. He adds that if any one of the chiefs has a particularly nice daughter whom the Government can recommend, ho will bo glad to come out to New Zealand, with » viow of seeing the chief, and, should arrangements be satisfactory, marrying bis daughter, The writer says he will bring with him £2OOO, is 42 years of age, Sftfljin high, and would, he thinks the Government must therefore see, be a desirable acquisition to the colony,

"Ho what prigs what isn't his'n, when ho's cotched is sent to pris'n," That, informs the evil-disposed that sooner or later they must pay the psnalty of their crimes, and even as one man is bound to respect another man's rights and not lay violent hands on other mesB 1 property, so is overyono who cares {or bis own well-being and for the well-being of the country of his birth or adoption, bound to take care of his own, to shepherd his own resources, keep a watchful eye on his own property, and safeguard his own interests, The citizen who has a sovereign to spend and who spends it so.that he only gets ten shillings' worth for hia money, is practically as bad as the man who puts bis band into bis neighbour's pocket and takes out half a sovereign; nay, ho is worse, because, in allowing himself to be imposed upon he robs his dearest friend—that is himself. Therefore ho "should buy everything at Hooper's Bon Jlarche, and no matter what bo wants-a coat, a suit of clothes, a pound of tea or n bag of sugar; a large parcel of groceries or a small item of haberdashery, he will find it the samo,

The master of the house being away from home, he commenced —as is his wnnt—discussing politics with the g'uod lady of the hnuae, and was denouncing tho Upper House appointments very vehemently.

Last night some extraordinary forma, tions, ranging in size from'a hazel-nut to a walnut, one hundred and fifty in number, and weighing about two pounds, wero brought to our office for inspection, They were white cystio anbatnnoos, oval in shape, pithy and solidified in character, and most unpleasant-looking objects, Much was our surpriso to learn that they had been taken from tho neck of a horse , owHOd by Mr D, McGregor.of the Upper Plain. The animal had previously had prominent and ugly swellings on each sido of his neck, and both eating and breathing were a mattor of difficulty. Several parsons endeavoured to efiect»cure, but failed, and eventually Mr H, J. O'Loary, of tho Masterton Blacksmith and Wheelwright Company, was three days ago asked to render aomo assistance. Mr O'Leary, after consulting Mr Walter Stannard, determined upon outward treatment, but subsequently this was abandoned, and an operation waß instead undertaken, Tho result was a signal auccoss, for an incision of six inches in the neck, just above the windpipo, was followed by a flow of virus, and tho removal of the bulbous growths we have previously described. The horse seemed immediately rolieved, and joined his neighbours in the field, neighing cheerfully, No one seems to know tho precise character of tho disease irom which tho animal suffered, although wo have heard that Dr Jioaking and several others consider that it ia mainly an abnormal condition of the neck alands, which are in a tuberous stato, The removed cyste are to bo seen'attho Blacksmith Company's shop, Masterton, by anyone ] interested in such matters,

What our telegraphists havo to put up with I Yesterday an individual, confused no doubt by bis success at the Show, wandered up to the officer in charge of the Telegraph Office at Carterton and inquired:' "Are you the coon who does telegrams j 'cos if you are, send one to my mother and tell herl got first prize for butter I" This very casual oustotnor then walked off, satisfied no doubt that he hod dono his duty and that the message bad gone all right, although bo had oumittod the trifling formalities of giving his mother's namo and address and of paying for the tolegram, But on Show days we must not expect too much from successful exhibitors, it seems,
