AN UGLY STORY.

» — ■■ — The " South Canterbury Times " pub lishes the following :~A considerable amount cf comment of an exceedingly disagreeable nature Is ba>ng caused m London by the aotion tukeu by tha Prince Of Wales iv nominating Mr fcdlin, Q.C., the Assistant Judge at the Middlesex Qaarter Sessions, to be Deputy Treasurer of the Middle Temple. It has already been announced that the holder of the latter office during the JuHlee Year is to be honored with a title Hence tha ehoioe of Mr Edlin is somewhat significant, Mr Edlin was tbe judge before whom, two years ago, Mrs Jbff eya appeared, oharged with the offence of procuration and of keeping a disorderly house, the most •rtetooratio of its kind m London. The offence was one punishable by a penalty of tyro years' imprisonment with hard ltbor. Nothing daunted, however, Mrs Jeffreys entered the prisoner's dock, and pn perceiving-that her difficulty wai be ooming a certainty, she deotared her inten tion of issuing sub^ceaaa to tho moat notable of her client? to witness iv Court as to her respectability. Not only ih« name of the King of the Belgian*, but those of other royal and effioial personages, were Included m the savooy Hbt. Horror Itruok, the judge withdrew to his private room, where a short time afterwards he had a secret conference with Mrs Jeffreys and her oouusel. Ths result of iha mtei view was that the woman returned to the prisoner's dock, withdrew her plea of not guilty, and substituted one of guilty aa far of keeping a disorderly house was oon eerntd. Mr Edlin thereupon imposed a fine of £200 which her couneel immedi ately paid, and she was table to leave the Court without furlher hindrance on the part of the law. The inspeotor of Metro politan Police, who had be?n gnilly of the want of tact of dragging so highly befritnded • dame before the tribunals, was shortly afterwards dismissed for inoompeteuoy and insubordination. J-'omo of tbe London papers, notably the " Pal M*U Gazette," took up the matter at the time, and did i»ot hesitate to publish Kirjg Leopold's name m connection with the matter. The complaisant judge is there fore within reach of hi« reward, unleßß, indeed, the outcry raised by his appoiut ment preventß the proraiiei title from bllng conferred m h's oace

MODERN MAGIC

One who saw eaya that recently at the Eden theatre iti Paris a modern " magi. dan" performed a trick which ia m re cdrious than any that Cagllostro the original Houdin of whom Hermann studied or the most sVllful of East lotion fakir* ever dreamed. He took a head made oat of phtster of Paris, soch as you will bo^ m a sculptor^ Btodo, and pneeed it round among his audence, made up mainly cf representativiß of tho Preßß, Then wt law him place this plaster head m plain view on a table; and .then, sr'th v, few words, he brought It to life. Tho white gave* way to ruddy flash color, the eyev opened, and the lips smiled. It answered a question and pearly teeth were disclosed Then, with a few wordß, this beautiful fsee cf a woman was again turned Into a plaster bust " After life comes death," laid this wonderful man ; and ax he Bpokp the bnst disappeared, and wo saw a ghftMly skull. Presently we oaw this no more, but where it wes, now stood t. magnificent bouquet of flowers, wh ; ch he took from the table and ehowtd to us a-1. He placed the flowers bacV, once more we saw the lovely female fane, and then finally it turned into a bust again. All. this we saw, and we could not discover how' the transformations were ac complished.

MR RICHARDSON'S RAILWAY BOARDS BILL,

♦ Tbe"NZ Herald," writing of Mr Richardson's promised Bill, Bays-.—' It would, we think, be impossible to frame a measure more at variance with its pro fessed character, or more completely cai oolated to defeat .Us its ostensible objeot* If the Government expected to impore on the House or the public by thus giving a stone inslead of bread, they will n t long remain undeceived. They will s< on be made to understood that, m demanding railway reform, the people will insist that If Boards be created, they shall have have power to carry cut what they have judged neceesary to be done m the p.b.ic Interests, and not become the mere Bcap ■- goats for the blundering of the Works Minister ard his < ffiolala, m w y oae hands tbe entire control of tho railway manage ment is still to re retained."
