As an example of how absentees who neglect to pay their rates have to &uft'er, the Turanaki Herald mentions a case which has recently occured in that district. The owner of some 50 acres of land partly cultivated, died some time ago, and the heirs-at-law were in different parts of the Colony. They failed to pay the rates on the section, which amounted to 1 os^jMid" the road board, in order to enforce payment, took the necessary legal &teps for leasing the section for seven years. The section was put up to auction, and the lease was sold for £23, out of which sum after paying the legal expenses incurred, there were only a few shillings left, which can be claimed by the owners of the section, and in the meantime they have lost all right or interest in the land for the term of seven years. This should be a warning to absentees to see that their rate& are regularly paid.

Rear- Admiral Sir F. W. Sullivan, X.C.8., who has been appointed to the command of the detached squadron in succession to Rear- Admiral Lord Clanwilliam, was midshipman of the Castor during the Kaffir War of 1852-53 (medal) ; was promoted commander for valuable assistance rendered during the successful operations ot Her Majesty's troops in New Zealand in 1559 (New Zealand medal) ; being also present at the attack on the rebels' position at Rangiriri on the 20th November 1803. For his successful command of the flotilla for five mouths up the rivers during the New Zealand war of 1863, and for four months as second and chief of the staff to Commodore Wiseman during 1863-4, he was specially mentioned and promoted, and was made a C.B. on 25th January, of the latter year. He was Commodore at the Cape from the commencement of the Zulu War till 26th March, 1879, and on his retuwi to England was created a K.C.B.

A Melbourne correspondent, who is well posted in sporting matters, writes to the Dunedin Evening Star :—": — " The visit of another Australian Eleven Home is now a settled thing, and I am in a position to state that they will consist of Bonuor, Blackham, Boyle, Edwards, Evans, Giffe, Horan, Massie, Murdoch, McDonnell, McShane, Palmer, and Spofforth— a fine team in all respects. They will leave here early in March. Mr Dunning, in conjunction with his agent, Mr Halifax, has offered the next Australian Eleven a high guarantee for the whole of their tour in England and the Colonies, and is from all accounts, likely to arrange the matter. I hear that three of our most celebrated pedestrians—viz, Applett (short distance), OBrien (the mile runuer), and Connor (walkist)— contemplate visiting England as Australian athletes ; but they wfll make a tour of the Colonies before sailing, and being first-class men, should attract attention. Mr Halifax, late of your city, has, I believe, the matter in hand for them."

The new pure cash system now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly prove a benefit to - the public. It has been a great success in Sydney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out the customer who buys at an establishment _ where the foods are marked low to ensure a rapid sale must o a ffreat gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery, millinery, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder in a co-operative society, withoutthe risk of being called upon to bear a portion of the loss should the j ear's business prove unsatisfactory. Garlick and Cranwell will aim to retain the confidence 'Which the public have hitherto shown them, and are determined to give the pure cash system a fair trial; whether they gain or lose the first year Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods 'at co-bperatve prices; just the same as though they made apersonal selection.
