. Tho Sydney-Morning Herald thinks pvery Federalist will ndm't that' New Zealand, by Btnnding aside, , instead 'of retarding will materially facilitate Federation.' An Australian Unioii would be a great achicivemont in itself, and adequate for all practical ends so far as these colonies are concerned, The co-operation of New Zealand may effect that colony, but doos not very much concern the others, There may come a time when it will be to the interest of all to make the Union as widely extensive as possiblo, .but at present it is a gain to leavo out eveiy thing extra, neons to Australian Union.

A Sydney correspondent of a con-, temporary sends the following:—A sensational incident happened at FitzGerald Bros. Circuß, performing in Sydney. During a lion-actflumphreys, the tamer, was in tho cage making two liouesses perform, ]t was noticed that the lion was in a bad temper, and suddenly, to tho horror of the spectators, he bounded behind. Humphreys and caught his right arm in: his -mouth. Humphreys then wrenched himself round, tortunately -releasing himself, Ab he did so it was aeon that the sleeve of his tunic and shirt had been ripped away, leaving only the shreds of the shirt on his arm. He had also been clawed by the liob, and the whole of the skirt of his tunic ■ had been torn away, for the moment it .was not known' whether he had been hurt,bbutt t as ho stood confronting the enraged animal, blood was seen to discolour the remnants of his shirt. The spectators rose in excitement, fearful that a terrible acoident would happen, but Humphreys continued the performance as if nothing had occured, and calmness was quickly restored. The Premier and Minister of Mines were present, After the act a medical examination of Humphreys' arm showed that he bad been severely wounded in three places to a depth of 2|in, the bono being exposed in each oase, The three lions are oyer 13 months old,and had been in training for only three weeks.

Mr Hogg, tho member for Masterton, it is well-known, is no friend of the Railway Commissioners, and the q'.'.es» tion below, which appeared on the ordor paper in his name, was evidently not put there with the object of doing the Commissioners a good turn. It, homer, did the Commissioners any. thing but a bad one. Tho question was, "If It is true that nntiye, or New Zealand coal is carried over bomb of the railway lines at a oheaperraw than imported coal, and if so, why this differential rate is not applied on the Wellington-Wai-rarapaline? " The reply of the Commissioners whb given to the House yesterday. They stated that New Zealand coal was carried as stated oh some of the lines of the colony, and not on the Wellington ■Wairarapa line; but tho rea'on for tlrj was that they thought, it more to advantage of settlers and settlement if they reduced tho rates on such thraga as pelts, hoofs, horns, hurdles, corrugated iron, preserved meats, seeds, sheep dip. fencing wire, wool paoks, salt, rock salt, hay, straw ohaff, turnips, mangolds, etc., and this they had done.— Press,

Theliconsing casoofLow v Hutchison was heard before His Honor tho Chief Justice yesterday morning. It appears that J. 0. Eaatnood, ex-licensee of the Star Hotel, Masterton, had been convicted of an offence under the Licensing Act, and the Resident Magistrate (Mr Hutchison) called for the license, which had in the meantime been temporarily transferred to Elizabeth Low, to endorse the conviction upon it. An order was obtained prohibiting the Magistrate from endorsing the license, and Mr Bell now moved for an order to dissolve the order of prohibition. His Honor reserved his deoision. - Mr Edwardß appeared in opposition to the motion.-Times.

We ofton hear, says Truth, of very sad oases where a dying husband bequeaths certain properties to his relict with the proviso that she is to get no further bene, fit from them if she re-marries. Occasionally some male fortune huater marries the lady in Ignorance of the peouliar disposition of the first husband's property. And whpnhusbandnumbertwd discovers his little mistake there is natural trouble, But a Ohristchurch. husband recently atruok a peculiarly painful ana? in this, direction. He married a fair young thing ivho had six children and an income. He has seven—children, I mean, and little or no income, The lady's money did not come to her through a previous husband's will, but through—as the second Hußband conceived—a far safer course, Judge his disgust when he found the lady's inoome ceased with her marriage: to him.

■When the patients at an American asylum had finished their dinner one day the other week, a knife, fork, and spoon were found to be missing. A strict search was made, but; their was no trace of them anywhere, Suddenly one of the attendants heard something rattling inside one of the patients, tho j son of a well ktiown Toronto* clergyman, and an examination revealed the-fact that he had swallowed tho cutlery, and when he moved it jingled in hisstomaoh, All offocts since havo failed to recover the lost articles, but their possession has not bothered'tho man in tho least. Ih response to a question one of the surgeons siad tho other day," He is oilright, Ho eats just at heartily us he did before, and is apparently quite as well." Be is now allowed no knife, fork, or spoon for external nae, however. Toronto Evening News, Mr J. L. Mnrray claims damages from tho Maßterton Borough Council on the grounds sot forth in the statement as follows" Tho damage lias been caused by the action of the.Council when constructing Ohuroh;Btreet, in filling up the old wator channel without leaving an outlet to provide fiijainst flood-water, the consequence being that when the water readies the level of the road line, it is obstructed and forced upon the properties of those living in the vicinity of Churchstreet. It is tho duty of the Council, when constructing its streets and other works, to, take steps to provide - against the state of things caused by the late flood, so as to protect tho individual interests of the ratepayers. Tho damage claimed are £lO, and the Council aro requested to take steps to provide against a recurrence of tho damage." "llocnssity is the mother of invention, 1 observes the Dunedin correspondent of the Cliitha Leader, and goes on to illuctrate tho proverb as follows:—Since tho hotels were all closed in tho Kaikorai district a very ingenious plan has .been invented by three tradesmen, who work close to each other, to ensure the steady supply of beer that they feel they cannot' do without. They procuro a small barrel of the precious stuff, which they locate in a place known only to themselves, and it was a condition of the scheme that on any member taking a drink from the cask he should deposit threepence in au adjacent box kept for that purpose. When the first cask was finished they emptied the money box, nnd after paying for a second cask they found they had niucpenco over, which gave a dividend of threepence a pioce. The plan iB being continued. In thin issue wo circulate an inset from tho Wairarapa Farmers' Co-oper-ative Association, in which they particularise many of the bargains which will be ofieroa at tho sale ot the late 'Wholesale Drapery. Company's afcock. - MvA, G. S. Richards, of Foiton, has invented a patent automatio sheep wok, for feeding hay, straw, chaff, and other fodder to sheep, A craze for bargains sot in this morning at the Bon Marehe. Wo, that is Hooper & Company, have started clearing out the balaneo of our winter stock. Our bargains aro always genuine. We don't say we sell at cost price, because no ono or very few could test it, not knowing what the cost price is., We don't offer our goods at 20 per cent discount because no one can check the calculation, not knowing on what it is »ed, We rely upon the prices at which we offer our bargains and in nine cases out of nine and-a-half those prices are staggerers both for the Public and the Trade. Of course, weare going to lose money over this job I How could wo do otherwiso? Bu why not? Wby shouldn't we as well a other people ?
