Tho young men of Vienna, it seenis, are not after all the good young men of the newspaper Tlitsy have not, as wo are led to believe, founded a Bachelors' Club in order to enable poor young women to marry by endowing tluni with marriage portions. They are quite of another way of thinking as regards marriage, Tho Club was founded that its members might escape matrimony. Kb premises were (till lately) a safe retreat, whero haoholorhood might; rejoice in tho condition and prospect of celibacy and rail at ease against tho institution of marriage. A condition of membership was a vow never to marry or contemplate marriage, and for a time the Club prospered, Now tho face of throes at Vienna is altered. An long as tho Austrian ladies denounced them from outside the club walls the members cared nothing, but when ohe young lady "• of prepossessing appearance, and accompanied by a venerable. friend, aunt, or grandmother," entered the precinots of the club and solemnly denounced the chairman himself in the chair of state, telling the assembled members that he was, and long had been, affianced aud betrothed to her, then tho club broke up in confusion, and has never vontured to meek again. Many of the members were, sad to relate, found to be in tho same unclubable predicament as their chairman.

Dr. Morgan T, Willis, a recognised American authority on cerebral disease and insanity, writes:—"lt is well for us tn know that tho emotions cause more unhappincßS and crime than any other 1 function of the brain, Human beings are governed by their emotions; and it is well that they should be, though it is i emotions that wear away the brain, It is the emotions suoh as anxiety, fear, 1 sorrow, and love. I consider that eight hours itre sufficient for a man to use his brain, beoauso itho exceeds that time he becomes nervous and fretful, and an ex--1 haustive brain is an irritable brain. You i may not feel the evil effects of the stress of brain work at tho time, bnt yorj will : sooner or later, when it will be too late. The men that work at night with their brains are the ones .that expose them. . solves to dangdr and death, which will , surely como unless the groat strain on the mind is liehtencd. Any man that neglects the first warning of a brain or ' nervous Bjstera that is becoming exhausted, overtaxed, or about tn breakdown, : is not only a fool but a criminal, These signs are not many, but they tell the eloiy of coming dangers too plainly. ■ Headache, sleoplcßsnces, irritability of temper, neuralgic pains about tho head, , and heart, uurefreshed sleop, nervous ' dyspepsia, dull eyes, heaviness of the head and stupid feeling after meals, 1 worry about trifles, unreasonable anger, , tingling and numbness in the limbs, ; nold feet and bands, flushed face and burning ears, palpitation of the heart, and irregular, weak and unsteady pulse, When you note these symptoms, beware; 1 the brain and nerves are about to break down, and it may be insanity, perhaps death." For all such troubles we recommend Clements Tonic. Thin ia ascieuti- '.

A rather curious case, one. interesting to dentists, has reoently been decided by an American law court. A dentist of Min neapolii had made a set of teeth for a resident in the town, and though apparently .the work.was satisfootory, the patiout doohned to pay the bill;. cbnsequently he was sued and judgment obtained fur a seizure of the unpaid for teeth, The judgment notwithstanding, the gotith'imin rofused to give them up, and the sheriff hesitated to employ force, lest he should be charged with violating the poraonal rights of the citizen. Moreover, the teolh. being firmly fixed in the doctor's mouth, to take forcible possession of them was no easy matter. Consequently the Oourt was asked for further instructions. Tho dentists' attorney argued that tho defendantshould be ordered to surrender the teoth, and that, if ho failed to comply, he.should be arrested for contempt of Court. On the part of the defendant, however, it was urged that the teeth having becomn part of his person, the Couifc had no moro right to drag them out of his mouth than it had to tear off one of his limbs. The magistrates were unable, it appears, for a considerable time to soe how to act Ultimately,, however, it was ruled that thounpaid-for teeth hadbecome part and parcel of tho defendant's anatomy, and that while used and worn they were not subject to levy or Bale. Since this has been the view of the mattor taken, it is presumable that spmo other means will be furnished by the Court for compelling payment'

The attendance at the usual weekly meeting of the Masterton Mutual Improvement Society held last evening wbb nut so large as usual. The business for the evening was a debate "Is Personal Ownership more juatthcn Land Nationalisation." Mr T. Gillespie spoke in the affirmative and Messrs Baumber, Bigg, Easthope, Cooper and Vibert in the negative. The voting was by ballot and resulted in the affirmative winning by a majority of one. On Thursday afternoon Mr Veoht, the representative of the Intor-Marinc Supply Association had a long interview with, the Agricultural and Pastoral Association in reference to the mess-pork industry which is about to be commenced in this colony. Mr Vecht explained that the company wns abunt to erect works at Ngahauranga, that the plant was now on its way out to New Zealand, that he was prepared to onter into contracts with breeders for a terra o years, the price paid to be 3d per lb lipe weight delivered at a railway station that each pig must be from 1301b to 1501b, and that for the laßt two or three weeks the animals be fed on any kind of gram except maize, to ensure successful preserving. The Post says that Mr Vccht's remarks were very well received and on the motion ofMrG.H. Scales seconded by Mr A, Matthews, it was re solved ;—'• That this committee desireß to place on record ita approval of the steps taken by Mr Yocht towards fostering the incroa»e of pig-breeding, and its opinion that if he carries out his proposal it will be of great advantage to the colony generally." The New Zealand Times, referring to the Libel Bill says:-" Once more the Libol Bill makes its appearance, and once more it is the duty of the newspapers to remind aiiot too interested Parliament that the law of libel is in Great Britain on a far suporior footing to what it enjoys in this country. There the whole duty of the newspapers is made nearly as safe'as that part of it whioh relates to the proceedings of Parliament and the Law Courts. 0 The public expects the newspapers horo to publish reports of the proceedings of local bodies, of the speeches delivered at public meetings, of deputations which wait on Ministers. But the tives of the public refuse to permit these occasions to bo in any way privileged, In Great Britain chhee publications are privileged when they can be proved to have been for the public good, trio onus ol proof lying with the publisher. That is a simple thing, and we want it here, why there should bo a difficulty, except that caused by the dislike some few members have of newspapers generally, we do not know. And why that should be a difficulty it is hard to understand. Are the newspapers of New Zealand to' remain behind the age? l '
