Being me extendi© title of the Waibarata Daily, with whioh ix is lOENIIOAI,

We have received another pamphlet entitled" The Dairy Industry," being a report on the season's work, We gather incidentally that the seaeon lies somewhere between January, 1891, and March, 1892, and the title might have been made a little more explicit had it been culled "The Dairy Industry—two years ago." However, it comes better late than uever.tkough it does reada little like ancient history, , But, then itiß in the department of the Hon. John, who is not remarkable for bringing things up to date. Wo learn that during the somewhat remote period referred to the Chief Instructor and the Assistant Instruct tor managed between them to pay visils to quite a number of faotories in Taranaki, Otago, and Southland, ' but left very muoh out in the cold, Auckland, Canterbury, Hawke's Bay, and Wellington. The poor Wellington province, which probably had neither a cow to be milked nor butter to be churned, obtained a single solit■« 1 ary visit to a place called Okoia, Perhaps it may have happened that Wellington did not want instruction and so was passed over, Still, we venture to predict that two years iience, when the pamphlet dealing with the present period may be expected to be published it will be found that ; this Province had after all 'some I claim on the notice, we wont say of the Chief Instructor—this would be expecting too much—but of the Assistant Instructor. We do not gather from tho report any general idea of the progress of the industry and the number of factories established in various parts of the Colony; the report is rather a desultory essay on dairying by the Chief Instructor and a few pointed observations thrown in by the Assistant Instructor. The most interesting portion of the work is the record of a trip paid to Victoria by tho Chief Instructor, who went there to study the bounty system, and like a sensible man deolared it to bo a hollow one. The generous Victorians have been giving from £BO,OOO to £50,000 a year to the dairy industry. In that Colony, farmers constitute a political organisation, andean milk the State cow; in New Zealand, it is the Knighta of Labour and the Labour Unions that are organised sufficiently to be treated with consideration by the Government. Still, our Government is displaying some interest in the dairy industry, Any settler can get a copy of a pamphlet, or two or three pamphlets, from the local Stock Office -though how this office manages to hold pamphlets is a mystery, for its dimensions are tho measurements ojf a rabbit pen or a guiuea pig hpuM-atsd they can get the services of an instructor ivhej) one is available and not on duty in Taranaki, Otago, or Southland, The Stock Depart- ■ ment is beginning to take a wider view of its functions and to come into J touch a little with settlers, It wants . perhaps a little more go in it or rather I its amiable chief the Hon. John could do with a little more motive power, j Nevertheless it means well and is i progressing iii eouo shape or fqcm, i

On_ Sunday aftornoon Mr William vyiggins was riding a young burse iu tho vicinity of GreatFroderiok Street, Grey, town, when a dog ran out at the horse so frightening the animal, that it reared and fell backwards on Mr Wifcgin?, who sustained n rather severe fracture of his left arm.

We havoreceived the second quarterly' number of the Mutual Provident Messenger, aserial published by the enterprising Australian Mutual Provident Society, , A t Quiroodi, N.S.W., recently, a cook murdered bis wife by plaoing ber nock across his knee and cutting hir throat in a shocking manner. A passerby was attracted by tho woman'B Bcrearas, and knocked tho murderer senseless by a blow on the head with a stone. Village settlers are to bo changed into settlers in perpotuity and settlers in perpetuity aro to be changed into —-, Woll, we shall see by and by. Owing to the increase of the cross- ! Channel service, anew commercial harbor Is to be constructed at Dover. To defray the cost Parliament has eiven authority for the imposing of a poll-tax of Is per head upon every passenger leaving or arriving at that port, which will yield £16,000 a year. " I don't see why I can't keep my husband al home," said a distressed looking little woman. " Why don't you try to make home attractive to him ?" " lhave, I've takon up the parlor carpet, sprinkled sawdust on the floor, aid put a beer keg in the room, but some way or other it doesn't seem to make any difference."

Everything in nature indulges in amusement. Tho lightning plays, the wind whistles, the thunder rolls, the snow flios, tho waves leap, and fields smile. Even the buds shoot, and the rivers run. : .. Who wouldn't own a boxing kangaroo? The gay marsupial now on show at Westminister (londin), draws large crowds nightly and it is said to earn for Ilia owner no less than £24,009 ut year.This is more than any two-legged pugilist can do even with the help of mammoth purses. A hotel of Hamburg is built entirely of compressed wood, which is as hard as iron, and by ohemical treatment has beenmade proof against fire and insects. Health authorities in Germany, finding that the refuse left after extracting the oil from peanuts contains four times the nutritive matter of wheat and rye flours, have used mixtures of peanuts and of peanut refuse with rye flour for making a very nutritious broad. Ladies and gentlemen holding reserved seat tickets for the Concert in aid of the Queensland Belief Fund, to be held at Maßterton this evening, will oblige by calling at The Dresden (Messrs Hood and Johnson's) and selecting their scats as early as possible. References are made in the Southern papers to a mysterious case. It appears that a Mies Hay was crossing the Temuka river in a dog-cart, and was capsized. There was considerable personal property in the cart. A strong search party recovered all this property except a leather handbag, containing about £6loa in money, and a diamond necklace worth 1 800. The police have an idea that this was also found by somebody, who kept it, and that either the necklace or the stones will be offered for salo in the colonies. This should interest jewellers and diamond tetters.

A recent issue of the Oamaru Mail contains the following! "The drunken eeason has fairly set in again, Olid females who are out alter dark should either take the middle of the road or have theproteotion of t male companion. We give prelerenco to the middle of the toad, with or without a male companion, for the chance of hearing a drunkard's filthy langUßEe is more to bo feared than even a corporal collision, and, by taking the middle of the road, one adopts the best possible means to avoid both. This drunken .fit will, it may he assumed, continue till all the hard earned money that should bo saved up against the slack season, has been frittered away in baying headaohes. and physical and moral degradation. Id ia a pity that these working mon, many of whom have family responsibilities, should not seek to compensate thair hard toil remote from society, in some more intellectual fashion, so that thoy might becomo a holp, instead of a hindrance to their class in the work of social regeneration. But Oamaru ia creating drunkenness and drunkards on a wholesale scale just now. Men with grog oozing nut of their every pore are even to bo seen tumbling out of houses that are supposed not to sell drink. It is to be hoped that North Utagowill not suffer from another revival of tho sly grogshop blight. The unlimited sale of intoxicants under that which is called police supervisionisevil onough, buttheir eecret sale, accompanied by all the freedom of a pnyate establishments is worse.

Mr John Bums, M.P,, who justly olaims to have had " unequalled experience of the largest meetings of unemployed evor held/'warns us that before the unemployed question can be properly discussed and dealt with," we mußt learn to distinguish between the laborer and the loafer." Till tho tramp, thiof, and nee r-do-well, however pitiable they •nay be, are dealt with distinctly from the senuino worker, no permanent bonefit will, in bis opinion, result to any of them. "I have seen.(ho adds) the raoßt qenuine and honest mon at meetings mixed up with tho laziest and most drunken scoundrels. These latter get together for a purpose—thoy have but uno object, that is pillage. The Wanganui Chronicle says that the Auckland police some time ago applied to tho Boston (U.S.A.) police for information respecting a man named, William Hammond.who married a widow ,in the northern city and cleared oflto Japan with soma of her money. Ham, mond, it turns out, is a confidence man, bigamist, swindler, &o; this makes his ninth marriago, as far as it ia known and at least five of the victimised women are living. Hammond has poßed as a Methodist, a Unitarian, a Free Will Baptist, a Presbyterian minister, physioian, lawyer, and has joined and been expelled from many secret societies. £yery city in in the United States has becomo too warm for him, and after doing a sentence of eight months for fleecing a fanner, he disappeared. _ The next place he was heard of was in this colony, and now he is supposed to be in Japan.

Society is discussing with joyous vivacity the brilliant discovery that Lady Henry Somerset, who has preached teototalisin from a thousand platforms on two continents, is the owner of- fourteen publio-houses. Lady Henry is so sincere an enthusiast that one is fain to believe that the fate whioh has overtaken lier is the Nemesis that comes to many 'ladiesso wrapped up in publio concerns that they neglect their own affairs. The obviouß doduction iB that Lady Henry Somerset did not know she owned fourteen public-houses, Philistines who have writhed under her not always well, deserved slashings now chortle delightedly as they make known that this publio lady is a lady of many publics.

An angry donate has taken plaoe in the House of Lord 3 respecting the state of affairs in Clare, which also formed the subject of a heated debate in the Lower House on Thursday. The Aniorican supporters of annexation of Hawaii assort that the Princess laiulani's protest against being deprived other right to the succession to the throne is part of a British scheme. The Labour Isadora' think it is hope, less to look to Mr Gladstone to legislate onthe Eight Hours question, Thesoamen at Cardiff are riutine, as h protest against the employment of mm. Unionists.

He had seen active service with the U.S. army, snd was wouuded in the thigh byabullet during the American civil war. To the end of his life he was in receipt, we be' Hove, of a Biuall ponsion. At onotime he had held offices of some consideration ■ in his native country. In reward for political services rendered to his party, he was once appointed Registrar of a large district, at a handsome salary, and he used to relate with some humour tho methods by whioh he overtook the work of his responsible office, While Captnin kimbserwas living in Feathoiston, he inherited a little money from come relations in America; but later on ho fell on evil timos, and eventually left the district. In the course of his residence thero he had acted as Town Kanger. Subsequently he went into business as agent for Wanganui wines, We (Greytown Standard) now learn with rcret that he died suddenly at Maharahara, noar Woodville, on Friday last, from apoploxy.

The late earthquake has evidently caused some permanent disturbance in Cook Strait, The greatest force of the shake was felt at Opunako and kelson, and between these parts some hot springs would appoar to ha'va broken out in the bottom of the Strait. Tho telegraph cable which runs from near Waoganui to Nelson has been singularly affootcd ever since the shako, Dr Lemon has for years past kept a careful reoord of teste of thetemporature shown by tho copper wire of this cable. The ordinary tem. perature has been 57 to 68 degrees, but almost immediately after the shake on the 12th February it rose to 78 degrees, and it has maintained that temperature ever since. Evidently the temperature of the ground on which tho

Quite a hovy of drunkards roamed Queen St. yesterday in broad daylight. We do not see why the police shuuld not suppress this somewhat too glariug illustration of the liquor traffic cable rests, and of the water around it, must have increased considerably, presumably through tho development of wann springs. Dr Lemon states that on a previous occasion an earthquake shock was followed by an increase of temperature in this cable, but it only lasted a very short time, thk time the inorease appears steady and permanent. -•Post.

Wo again remind our readers of the Grand Concert whioh takes place at the Masterton Theatre Royal this eveniug, in aid of the Queensland Relief Funds. The programme (an exceptionally good one) appears in another column and that al&ne should be sufficient to attract a vory large audience.
