Accepted. Tender. Dunedin; To-day. The tender of Mr Walter Carlton for the Dunedin goods shed for L 2,165 has been accepted. A Lively Meeting. A lively meeting took place at South Dunedin last night, and kept up till nearly three this morning. The presence of twelve policemen, prevented any dis play of rowdyism. The gas dispute re mains in statu quo. •

The Manawatu Railway Company yes terday received a cable from Sir Julius "Vogel, announcing that their debentures, ptpqunting to L 200,000, have been taken nip ,by a London syndicate. The deben-' tures, bear 5 per cent, interest, but the Directors refuse to i state at what price they have been, disposed of, beyond the general statetncnt; that it is a satisfactory one. By the Act they cannot sell at a price which will give the purchasers more; than 6. per cent. The reserve, L 30,000, have .also been taken up in London on the same (terms as the shares held in. the colpny. ..The Directors now intend to, PUah on the construction the line with; "tEip greatest possible rapidity, v The labor question in Fiji, judging! from the following, which we take from the Fiji Times, is getting complicated ; “ Things are progressing with the planter, and there is every prospect that before long he will have a high old time of it with his laborers. Amongst a plantation; .of Ra men engaged on a. Windward plan tation was one who acted as chaplain of; the .gang, and one Saturday this man; fMlad.tn turn nut with the others. • Ho- 1 tioing his absence from the field, his era ployer went to look for him, expecting to dad him sick. Instead of this, hq found him: lolling on a mat in his bare, blowing 1 a fragrant cloud from his seluka, evidently ~in the rudest of rude health, but ap patently lost in pleasant abstraction of mind. ‘ .What in the thunder are you 'doing there V was the irate planter’s not : o oyer polite. Inquiry, ‘Go away and don’t disturb me’, was the dignified response *1 am composing my. sermon for Sun-j day.”’ The late John Brown was far from 1 fond of boating, as a hitherto unpublished anecdote will ‘show. When at Loch* ' Maree Brown assisted 'the Queen and Princess Beatrice into a somewhat frail; craft for the.purpose of rowing them out 1 Ib a spukll island in the loch. Boarding! the boat himself, he did it so clumsily thaths very nearly gave the Royal party ‘‘ How awkward you are,j Drown 1”! , exclaimed Her , Majesty.) ** r said the imperturbable Scot, “ ItLwas yary far from my wish to come inter this boat at all.’' The death of; Brown reminds thp ‘ World ,of a story.
