particularly sensitive gentleman named Kanertz, residing at Kaldunkirchen, has brought on action for slander against the Burgomaster of that town, Herr Bortges, far having called him a " freemason," The defendant admitted tho truth of tho allegation, but maintained that to call a man (i freemason could not possibly be construed into a slander. On tho other side, it was contended that it could bo, provided the peraon so designated were not a freemason, as the allegation might be injurious to him in certain circumstances The Court at Lobberich decided that it was a slander, but on appeal to a higher tribunal at Cloves the judgment was re, vorsed.

In a recont issuo of tho Sydney jjfom. inj Herald is an article commenting upon the work undertaken by the Bov. Horace Tuckor, a clergyman ot Melbourne, who has lately add'eased an audience in Sydney upon the Tuoker Village Settlements in Victoria. Eight of these had been started (of which six remain in work), with a population of between 600 and 700. The sei;u!(( Bays :-Wn do not gather that these settlements are at their present stage self-supporting, nod rations have to bo served out to the people, This being so, wo can quito appreciate the joy said to be experienced by the men and womon in not having to worry about rent or grocers bills, Somebody has to worry, howevor, for these Arcadias mean a heavy expenditure somowhere. It is just here that the weak point of MrTuokor's plan seems to lie, How does, ho get his settlers to work, ana is the prospect near or remote of thoir work .being i self .supporting, not to say remunerative? While on this subject, philanthropic workers cannot ignore the bold scheme of Mr M'Kcnzie, tho Now Zealand Minister for Lands, At this stage we do not entor upon any discussion of the plan; but it goes so much further than the Victorian experiments that the New Zealand scheme will receive general attention, It does not deal with the class of men whom Mr Tucker has taken in hand, but that is not the only point of novel interest about it,"

A"Friendnf Humanity,"writing on the subject of life-saving in T/i« Alhktk Directory, deems it well to remind thoso who would be glad of an opportunity to save a life tn remember, if the drowning person be a lady, the notice issued to the police at that favourite bathing-place Dieppe, where it ispartof tho policeman's duty to rescue persons, The notice runa; —"Tho bathing police are requested when a lady is in danger of drowning to seize her by the dreßS, not by tho hair, which often times remains in their grasp,"

A Bad story iB told of a poor married couple,. Russians; who had settled'at Great Dombrowska, in Upper Silesia,' Abouttwoyears ago they received 'an order to.quit the territory, but on -arriving at the.Ruß3ian ! froritier iheywero hoc permitted to enter, "for," said the Rus-' Bian official, " the woman is blind and Russia is not in want of suoh oripples," The couple returned to Great Dombrow. ska, but lately reoeived another notice to leave. The Russian - officials were still obdurate, and, sick at heart, without work or homo,'the husband grew desperate. When the watched couple came tp tho Przenisa, the abeam which separates Russia from Gerrony, he caught his blind wife up and threw her into the river. He then went to a tree and hanged himself. Referring to glovo fights at Dunedin, the Otago Daily Times says: ' : ' Nothing can be advanced in favor of these glove fights, and the brutality which they almost invariably exhibit can only have a deleterious effect on the feoling and character of the people who are degraded enough to go to see them. It is unhappily the case that there are toman beings in this Colony who derive pleasure from seeing their'fellow creatures eeribußly injured orslowly done to doath. Assiiredly'it is to the interest of : the great body of the people to take care tho brutal classes shall riot have any opportunity to get their instinct gratified and therefore made stronger, or that these classes shall not be allowed to get their number inoreased.

An instance of how worked out auriferous land may bo made to yield a handsome profit for the work oxponded in re« claiming it was manifested recently by an amateur gardener, living close to Forest Creek Chewton, One peat'tree of an ordinary olass (writes a correspondent'of the Mount Alexander Mail) yiolded this, year the generous harvest of 30 cases of fruit i estimated to contain about 15001b netj and realised in cash the amount of £6; 15s, that being the amount paid by a well known fruit buyer in Castlemaine. Upon a rough calculation a square acre of ground planted with such trens, 20 feet apart, if .they, each realised. half the amount that the above did, the handsome income nf £4BB 7s 8d per annum would be the result. ::, ■ '; !; / We have the largest'stock of New Zea land made Flannels in the Province.

A contemporary statesthat it has been legally decided that a • dog cannot be guilty of fraud. The animal which has thplionour of being the canso of this leading case appropriated a lady's umbrella,'and departed rapidly. Its master, was charged with' causing the d' g to steal, but in was held that the case against him would not hold water, on tbn ground that the dog could not be held guilty of fraud. A ;dog oan be guilty of crime when ho attacks Bh nop and worries Ihem, or when he puts his teeth into a humah'.being.but tho law does not yet assumo that it has arrived at that state of mind which would enable it to plan a burglary or arrange a highway robbery..

ABlock VIII, HauHiigi," stating that land which had beon forfeited on account of rlummyism should not be weighted with valuation for improvement, The land in cjufstion was, about 10 months ago, thp subject of ian enquiry by tho Land Board, and in respect i>f which, Mr Hislop,. of. Brandon, flislop and Brandon, subsequently interviewed the Board on behalf of Mr Coleman Phillips. As a result of that interview, Mr Hislop stayed proceedings for an appeal against the forfeiture, pending an understanding or deoislon regarding 'improvements which had been efl'octed. The Board yesterday docided to write to Mr Hislop intimating thoofiect of 'tho'letter from the Surveyur-Gederal, and informing

him thaltheßoard now proposed to ofior tho land for sale without any, protection to the late holdersforthe improvements. The Commissioner ssid. there was no .telling what the ; result or, the appeal might be—there were so many loop hp 10.3 in tho .Act. Referring to the dummyism enquiries, held by the Board, Mr Bakev said they had certainly had a very wholesome effect.' Mr Pirani agreed with thiti.— Evening Fnss.

Another of Wellington's earliest, settlers passed to her rest yesterday morning in the peisnn of Mrs Kelham, widow of tho late James Kelham, ofTredenham, Lower Hutt. The. Poßt states that Mr and Mrs Kelham arrived in Wellington in the year 1841, he being one of tho officers of the .Now Zealand Company, For several years they resided in Wellington, where, on severing his connection with the Wow Zealand Company, Mr Kelham engaged in business of his own account. Later on he purchased what is known as'!'the Tredenhaui property at the Lower Hutt. ' Hero he and MrsKolham resided together until the death of. the former, some ten or eleven years ago. Mrs Kelham continued to reside in tho same place,' until a few years ago she sold tho larger portion of the property, and wont to reside in a smaller house on a portion of the property which she ro-

served for her own use, Mr and-Mrs Kolham's only child was married to Mr Daniel Riddiford, of Halcombe, in 1885, and died in the following year, leaving behind her an infant daughter, who, wo understand, inherits the larger portion of the property left by Mrs Kelham.

"1 like' Dick' Seddon," writes' Phiz, in a recont issue of Truth. ."I always did like big, bumptious,' brainy, devil-may-care men. And it is precisely because 1 am fond of him that 1 rebel against the manner in which his most deadly onemies, who pretend to be his friends, treat him, 1 have always recognised in the uumerous banquets, tendered with such seeming good -vill to Richard, a malevolent plot on tho part of the Opposition to kill him with indigestion, Bub Richard laughs at their simple wiles. The pie, or pudding, or scone, that would finish him off has not yet been invented, and as for whisky warrantod to kill the ordinary man at 1,000 yards, Dick tosses it off and laughs and is glad, ft might kill' a man with a patent brass-lined and cop-per-fastened epigastrium, but it merely pleasiirably tickles. Richard. But the enemy have essayed a more deadly device, and against this I enter my solemn protest. They have taken to meet and greet him (save the mark I) with brass bands I What has he done that he should

be exposed to such physical torture and mental anguish ? Because a man is a patriot and; because ordinary poisons have no effect upon him, he is to bo put to an awful and agonised doath by means of brass bands I Are we living in the last decade nf the nineteenth century or in tho days of the Medicis ?

The last report of the factory inspectors of the State of New York (says an English paper) refers in some detail to the sweating system, Tho inspectors say.

that at one time they thought only the cheaper kind of ready-made clothing was manufactured in tenement house workshops; they now know that almost all of this clothing is. made in such places, They say that of three hundred and fifty wholesale clothiog manufacturers in iNew York, there are only ten who do not have their work done by Bweaters, Tho cloak trade, which is distinct from tho other branches, is wholly supplied by sweaters.; They describe' the sweater as a contractor, or sub-contractor, who agrees to complete garments at so much each, or bo much per dozen, who i then parcels out the work to a number, of'men, each of whom has a particular piece to make up, at a price somewhat less than is received by him* self,: Where workrooms are supplied tho mon pay for the space thoy occupy, and the high rentals which are paid for the premises used by sweaters lead to over* crowding. It is'not unusual, when the weather permits', to seo the balconies of the fire escape occupied by from two or fpur.busy workmen. The halls and roofs are also ueed for workshop purposes very frequently. In these places tho weok's work is considered as sixty-six hours, One of the recommendations of the inspectors jis .that, '.wholesale manufacturers of clothing," ne'okwear," oigars, cigarettes, artificial flowers, furs, purses, feathers, &0., who contract for the manufacture of such articles in tenements and shops; should be'required to keep, and famish on demand to the factory inspector, a list of the persons with whom such contracts are" made and their .addresses, and that .BUch.ar'tioleß, %hen made in unclean or unhealthy ..places, shbuid'vbo so labelled when, exposed for sale,, and' that all such articles, when made in tenements or buildings by persons not provided with a permit from the factory inspectors, as required by a law of last year, should helabelled "tenement made" when exposed for sale.-

The Premier was being banqueted the other day at Mukihinui, and Mr Robert Lcckie, in the capacity of assistant private seorctary, was busy reporting the post" prandial speeches. At length arrived the period which prcsßinon are won't to pass lightly over with the comprehensive remark ' The rest of tho.cvoning was given over to conviviality.' Mr ttobt Leckie pocketed'his note bonk, and went; out to cogitate and stretch his limbs. To his surprise there was a largo crowd of thirsty diggers outside, and to his disgust their remarks anent himself tvero frequent, and painful aud free. There were personal enquires as to who his laundress was, and whence ho. had procured his sideboards, and so forth, At last one stalwart miner stood forth and said: ' See hero youna; party, don't you think it rather rough for those fellows to be guzzling inside and keoping us hungry and thirsty out in the cold, JNot that we would mind that much, if wo could only hoar what Premier Dick has to say.' Oh, if that's your only trouble,' replied the versatile leckie, Tvo got his speech m iny pocket, and I'll give it to you.' Suiting the action to the word Mr Leokie hauled his notebook out of his pocket,and proceeded to re-deliver the speech of the Premier, every period being closed in with a round of cheers. When the end was reached three rousing cheers were called and given for 'the blooming toff." This tremendous ovation brought out the banqueters belter skelter, with the Premier at their head.
