~ ■■— —' Miss Rose Albu is expected to again visit New Zealand. ~ ' Tie local atlhontiea of Young, New South Wales, are huving trouble with the Salvationists of a nature somewhat similar to that m Milton. A Gbnitohurch man has (according to Truth) trained his dog to hok hia postage < tor him. The dog la very unwell. A correspondent of the New Zealand Herald siys that Urge numbers of oattle about Rangirm and other low.lymg districts, are seized with an affochon in the legs like rheumatism or cramps, which renders them unable to stand, they then lie down, and even when fed as they lie, ,they invariably succumb, One settler there has lost all • his stuck, niany of them in this way, and at a time too when there is a large unsatisfied demand for stock of all sorts in.■the Lower Waikato,

'lt is. curious to notice," says a London correspondent," the increasing prevalence of spectacles and- eyeglasses amongtheyoung people of London, 1 may mention one specially odd' instance in point, At agay wedding recently the bride and bridegroom and five bridesmaids formed a group of seven, and were subsequently photographed, Of those seven no less than six wore glasses, including a. nine-year-old bridesmaid, Indeed, none of the ages exceeded twenty-four. The effect was decidedly peculiar,

Aot long ago there was in Wellington a person of the "masher" type (says the Post) who made it a practice to hail cabs to drive him wherever he wished to go, but was equally careful in failing to pay for the service, always being "short Of small ohange," and promising to pay later on, One day list weekaoibman who bad before been, victimised, aad knew ol other sufferers, decided upon getting satisfaction. 80 he drove the dandy-faultless) v got up—to a secluded spot on the reclaimed land, and there do inanded his then and previous fares. The usual procrastination being offered, cabby ordered the fellow out of the vehiole, and when'once on temfirm "took out'-' the debt by administering a severe thrashing, Wellington Jehus have now loaf a customer they can well do without. ■ "We all know',' "says Mr Sydenham Taylor," that he (Sir Robert Stout) has sympathy with the people and has their cuuae at heart—or, at any rate, he has the credit for it,"

Sayn Kmwa Kines :-The first woman to enroll in the district made her first appearanoe at the Post Office yesterday afternoon, Her demeanor was calm and collected and she did not betray the least Bymptoms of nervousness, It after years in will be something to Bay that she was the first woman in this part of the electorate who olaimed electorate privileges, The rank of a visitor is, among the Chinese, denoted by the largeness of his caid. When the Wellington gas-collec-tor called with bis bill on a Wellington Chinamen, the other day (says the Christohuroh Truth), the latter (a new chum) thought, from the size of the document,,that the gas-man must be bj Premier at the very least, and so ushered tho collector into the presence of his brand new Ohinese wife and introduced him, with profound salaams, as "Mlister Dliolt Seddon."

The ignorance,' whether assumed or actual, of the average Wellington youth of the semi-lwniin class, is appalling (says the Times). Yesterday morning in the Resident Magistrate's Court while William Staples, aged 19, was giving evidence he was cautioned by (he Resident Magistrate twico. On the seoond occasion he was asked if he knew what penalty he incurred by giving false evidence. Ho replied that,he didn't know that anything could bo done to him, On being informed that, apart from any possible punishinu.it. in tliis everyday world to the extent of four years' penal servitude, he 'wilted wsibly,' and confined himself to the question a little more closely, _ That most enterprising of colonial initiations, the New Zealand Clothing Factory of Lambton Quay and Cuba street Wellington, inserts a new advertisement in to-days issue which should prove of interest to our readers. Oarlylo haß written a book ("Sartnr Resartus") dealing with the "Philosophy of Olothea" the whole tenor of which is to prove that olothes are superfluiiios and the product* of an unnatural state of existence. This may be true but still *'e have to wear clothes and therefore it is just as well to know that there is suoh an establishment as the N, Z. Olothing Factory whioh can supply our wants in this direction on the shortest notice.

A csrtespondent of the Lyttletoi Times relates that when the telegrapl line from Ohriatohurch to Tiroaru wni being erected through Arowhenua, hi was passing along the North'road and saw old Kahu, the Maori, sitting watch' ing 'the men putting on the wires, The oorrreapondent said, 'What do you think of that, George ?' He replied,' No good, no good j fence too high,' He bad been under the impression that thoy were making a huge fence. For'some accountable reason the Masterton results of the last Trinity Oollec;a examination, have not yet raaohod Mr A. von Kelaenbers, although they should have been received by Mr ft. Parker, of Wellington, some weeks ago, Some years ago when Dr. Gunn (who has recently been visiting the Bev. Mr Murray atGreytown) was at tho Hew Hebrides, a ship wiled with the Rev. S, J. Gibson on board, Mr Gibson went to see Dr, Gunn, and afler etayinn h»hiie engaged two natives to paddle him back to his ship as she appeared to be getting ready to sail. On the return of the men Dr, Gunn found they had charged Mr Gibson too mnob, and accused them of it. Ono of the natives expressed contrition, saying that they did not know their passenger was a missionary, and gave a shilling to Dr. Gann. After telling the Btory bt the Groytown Wesleyan Social the other night, Dr Gunn handed Mr Gibson a shilling, re-

rasping that he had not so en him since they met on the occasion above referred to, Mr Qibaon was somewhat surprised and said be thought the native had been rather hardly used, w he (Mr Gibson) had pi)t a coin on the seat of tho canoe, because he could not understand tow much the fare was, He therefore handed tho money hack to Dr Uunn to buy a present for the, aboriginal, - Aoraze for bargains set in this morning at the Bon Marohe.
