Judging by the very large attendance at the Theatre Royal last night, tho longer the Good Samaritan Variety Company stay in Masterton the more popular they become. The entertain, meut last evening wan as usual yory popular, and all the items rendered wore received with great applause, The local song of Mr Bryant; again '' caught on," and the laughter and applause created was'simply deafening. Tho accordeon competition was contested by five players, including a very young boy, about six or seven yoars of age, who played the spirited " Ta.ra-ra.boom-de-ay " and another melody. When the show of hands camo for the best player, the little fellow had almost the whole of the audience vote {or him, and he was awarded the prize.

Thus "Tramp" in the Auckland Herald : Mr John Baivers, chief dairy instructor to tho liew Zealand Government, says:—"Taranaki grass is too young.".; Were it not that tho chiof dairy instructor is a " brither Scot" of the Minister for Agriculture, this might have passed aa some oeoult joke upon E. M' Smith's complaint—a Jlux of wor.ls But as the young " chap free Glasgie' is as incapable of humour as his estimable chiof " Pickles," it must bo put down to his ignorance, If there be any grassyoung or old-in the world better suited for the production of butter, Mr John Sawers would muoh oblige by disclosing its whereabouts. Taranaki graßS too young I "Km i-hm "Mr Chief Dairy Inspeotor, we oannot allow our vegetable marrow to be withored and our good name stolen In such a pawky fashion, Too young! Why grass has been growing at tho foot of Egmont sinco Captain Cook's time-that big paddock of Mr Livingstone's, where Boomerang got so fat I could not push him through a stable door, has never yet had its virgin bosom furrowed with a ploughshare Taranaki, I boliovo, celo brated her jubilee year before the advent of Mr" John Sawers, Chief Dairy Instructor," and the "hmi-hms" made butter beforo this dairy wheyry grcon-as-grasa young man was bora.

\ Note has been taken of the fact (writes C Mr H. Luoy in the Sydney Morning Herald) that when in attendanco upon * tho Royal' wedding MrOlodstono stood in the brilliant throng without a singlo 8 order to his uniform—thegreatestof them ) all, and underrated.' The reason for this i rarely-distinguished appearance is simple r and imperative. The Prime Minister did t not wear aii order because he does not ■ possess one. Ho who has showered stars on others and givon garters to dukeß, ' does not possoss the right to wear a' bit of red or yellow ribbon, That is a : proud pre-eminence from which at this time of day he is not likely to step down evon to ' the level of the peerage. The uniform he wore was that of an Elder Brother of the Trinity Bouse, familiar enough with him on Court gala occoaionß, since it is his only one. It snilshim admirably, giving him quits a quarter-deck air.' Perhaps it does not reach the splondid effeob wrought by the one other State dress Mr Gladstone has been seen in. This is the official gown of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I have seen him r.nly once in it. That < was ai the opening of the new Law Courts by the Queen.

There, on a Bimilar measure pas3ing,overy trader who employed assistants put them on hourly wages totead of weekly; 60 that, as tho law compelled him to give his servants half a day a week, he, lor his own protection, often gave thorn halfholidays they did not want, more especially as ho paid them for the time they worked and made noallowanco for when they were idlo.

It is true that ho had a bit of bad luck, but he has well and faithfully served his constituents, and hisolaim on the constituency is undoubted He is a staunch party man, true to the backbone, and a worker. j
