A pair of greys, draughts, 4 and 6 years old of rather a superior stamp, brocght£s6.

As he usually set off on his rounds before four a.m. everyone believed he waa aaf j j but he, too, had celebrated the end of (Jar nival by taking a lit'.le wice and bad slept late. Hlb large dog which used to drag the m'.lk-cart up the mountain rgada, smelt out kta master, and began to soratob away tbe rubbish ur.til he had laid bare hia master's head, which was covered with wounds. Then the dog began to lick the wounds ; but finding that the bleeding continued, and comprehending that he could not dig farther, he ran tff and seized by the coat the first individual he met, who, thinking the dog wab mad, got )ooflo and ran away.

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART MENT

Mr G. E. i'd-Tton, who is contrbuti.'ig a series of ar >cleß on eubtropical New Zealand to the " Ots^o Wkneßß," is very severe on the Agricultural department m his contribution this week. '"The de partment of Agriculture as bt "present constituted," h" arjs, " I look upon.r s a sham and a wr. te of money.

ITEMS FROM PARIS.

+ (FROM ODE PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) Parts, April 28. A curious instance of the Irony of fate fs recorded by one of the Paris evening papers. A workman named Jsan Kohler, who was found dead on the Ceintuie Railway a day or two a 30, was the legal heir to a fortune o? four million pounds. He was descended from an Anglic i general wh) diad m Indf^, leaving a fortune wh'ch wei deposited ia the Treasury of London until the ri^httul heiva to the propei : y cl dmeJ it, and h;>s ah;ce been aecuaiulaUo'jf at compound ij.tereit. Kohler had no mor :y, and although he knew that (he fortune was there and th.fc it belonged to h'm, could not obtnin the nee*..- ary me ma for an action aga'nst the Treasury, exoept from spoulatorj who made such ridiculous offers tint he declined them finally, worn out »ni desperate, he committed eu cide on the Oeinture Railway, A monetary panio has jas* occm/edin Swlizerland. All the gold suddenly dißAppeirod frcm circulation, and the batiks were forced to exerc'ao tb j right accorded by the federal law to only reimburse their notes after three day* advice. An amnging story is told of the ; administrative red tapeism m Geimany | The Empress of Austria, has a farm ne?r Sohoenbrunn and fs very proud, of the produce raised on it. She recently sent a fine ham, neighing 22 pounds, to her i BJBter addressed "To the Connteaß de I Trani at Baden, from her sister, the | Empress of Austria," but the certifica'e of origin which should have accompanied it was forgotten, and the Customs i*t Llmbach detained the parcel, and ssnt to the Inspector of Markets at Vienna a printed firm, whioh, fiUed up, read ?.<* follows: — U A parcel is lying at the Customs, addressed to the Countess de Trani. Please inform us if the sender, the ifmpresg of Austria, resides at Vienna, and is a pork butcher by trade V The Informal ion was returned, but ' the enquiry caused no Mfctle laughter at the palace. Telegraphic communication batweon the Bourses of Paris and Brussels was opened on the 27th inst (February.) More than 300,000 . persons have sub scribed for the statue of Sainte Geneviere to be placed m the new Montmarte Church as expiation for the secularisation of the Pantheon . M. Bogius, who is to execute the work, has alreadj designed sculptures for several Paris churches, as also the memorial erected en the site of the battles fought round Metz m 1870. The^ Paßtoral letter of the Archbishop of Paris on the occasion of Lent this year, touches especia'ly on the observance of Sunday as a day of rest. "Ini he present . time," Monsignor Richard writes, " the moral sense of the people has been peroerted to such a degree that the work ing classes too frequently imagine that the precept of keeping the Sabbath holy ia an infringement of the libeifcy of the workng classes. No j the Sunday observance law protects the workman against the cupidity which preys on him, and is the charter of the enfranchise ment of the labouring classes Compare the sanctified Sunday m a town or m a Christian village, with the profane Sunday m an irreligious town or village, and you will see where ib the real civilisation and the best guarantee for the moral and material interests of the people." Tiie letter was read m all the Paris churches last Sunday. M. Rosenthal's exhibition performance at the Cercle des Eohecß, wan a moat soc aeaefal affair. PLyfng thirty simultane ous games of chess against Btrong amateurs, he won twenty-six, drew three, and only lost one. This performance )» the more remarkable aa he on y waß allowed one minute for each move. A terrible catp.jtrophe occurred the other night on the ica m the vilbge of Raincy, one of tho eastern suburbs of Paris. A number o r boys on leavitg the Commercial School at about five is the afternoon stopped to play, m spite of the prohibition by the master, on a frozan pond, on the green before the ohurcU. They were sliding and running after a ball, when the ice suddenly gave way, and four of them disappeared through a large hole, the water there being about bt'x foefc deep. Two brothers named Delaise and a boy named Gabriel Dan trerau went courageously to their assistance, and were leaning over the briuk of the chasm, to ee'za hold of their olottieß, when the hole enlarged ftnd they also were im mersed. A workman named Collet came up and by entering the water waß able to reeoue one of the brotbera Delaise, but all the six others were drowned, their bodies were recovered, but rot until Ufa w; a quite extinct Among the victims wire two Holder.* namod Esiiot, aged eleven and fourteen. A very interesting experiment m electric l'ghting w»b made recently at the Ecolea de? Mines, Pari.v, with the row patent battery constructed by M.M. Perreuor, Llojd, and Etere. A lamp worked bj el»hh cupa of &m?U size burued without any interruption or change for 150 consecutive hours with a light equal to five candles. The ehc:ric power < f each cup is from two to two and a half volts, and according to aize. producing 100 to 1000 aoij. ere hours ; the cost being five centimes (\6) per kilogrammetre-hour, or half a centime par wat-hour. This batteiy shows a great improvement wi'h reference to duration, stability, and cheap ness, and ia an important step towardß the practical application of batteries for the production of light and motive power.

THE BARRIER TRAGEDY

Regarding the petition which has been presented to Parliament asking for com penßition for the loss of the cutter Sovereign of Ihe Seas, a southern con temporary saya :— Mr Monk, the member for Waittmata has not been long m making hia mark as a politician. He has, indeed, already proved himself to be worthy to represent an Auokiand constituency and a, fit associate for the bulk of the men whom he will meet 'n Wellington political circles. YesUrday that gentleman pre aented a petition to Parliament from the oirnera of the Sovereign of the Seaß, praying that Parliament would award them £500 m consideration of the loss they sustained through the wreck of that veraei. The petitioners deem the Government responsible for the loes of the vesael because the steamer that they sent m pursuit was too slow to oatch her. This is very delicious. In any case, of course, the Government are not responsible for the less of the vessel, which was In the custody of men em ployed by the owners. They sent the Hteimer for the culprits, not for tha vessel Besides, m alleging that the government are responsib'e because the steamer was too slow to catch their vescel, ihe petitioners' fehow tbat they should be panished because their vessel vr?i bo fast that the Bteamer could not overtake her, and because they were therefore pat lies to the escape cf the murderers to ihe shores of Außtralia. 1 hey are, moreover, guilty of having given tbeir vessel Into the charge of murderous ecoundrjls, and for the eircurmranoe that tbe murderers went to the ec^ne of slaughter m their vessel. Jt is highly probable that, had the murderers not beea placed m charge of the vessel by the owners, the murder of poor Taylor would not have ooourred, and the colony would not have been put to the trouble and expense of bringing the raurderera to justice. Tried, therefore, on the principle laid down by the petltiorei* themselves m their p.lea foe competßa^lpn, they are responsible ' for the Bar j|es Island sawder.

Wlnngapej 18th April, 18S7. Dear P>r,~ There ha* been co much bos He cri'icism of the village settlement i hemo lately that I have thought a letter fom me, though only a unit among so many, giving you my opinion and ex r^rienoe rh one of these settlers, might unlp to frengthen your hands m your further eff irts m that direction, and also b <lp to dispel the doubts and mfiunder s,ending on the subjeot. . . . We have now been on our land juet four i weeks, and I have about 20 acres fern 1 1- nd burnt r ff ready for the plough, about j one acre bush land felled, an orchard of about, an acre started, with 100 trees f 'ready planted, and a four-roomed house f i course of erection. • Sp much for my experience. My opinion is that no spot ij New Zealand (and I have been m Auckland province some 30 years) ia, for s il, climate, &c , more suitable for a poor man or a email farmer, and that the Government who have initiated the system , deserves the thanks of the whole of the New Zealand public, but especiallj of the p )or man. The £20 allowed towards the erection of a houße is m itself a very great considera! ion and help. S ) also is the 50s allowed for bush-felling-, burning, and sowing ; but I think the Govern ment should go 9 little further, and m the case of fern land, if a man clears, ploughs, and crops an pcre of fern lana, it should bs reckoned eqaiva 1-nt to burning, felling, &0., on bush Jand. It would h'bc have been better for t^e auccfra of (he settlement, and only v.hat we were led to expect, if there had b 3n at least one road through the block, f < that eelectom could have got on to <Wr sections without tbe trouble and labor we h"we had. However, all that h altere.l now, and we have a really good jack-track through from the Puhata to t c fleiikiso river; and it" we can get i\h by-pud- bye converted into a dray t ck (which can easily be done), a good d:\iy-road to Whangaps, and a monthly steamer casing at that port; bo that w<? c*n £. j t food and necessaries at a reasonable f ee, I cannot see what fs t) prevent an hvluntriom man from succeeding — of ourse, p^ays r.upposing the BBtt'e?n have tie makin » of these road's to ii<:le vi over th 1 ? first w ntsr.
