Still Alive. New Plymouth, April 2. Hone Pihama, the native chief, having expressed a wish to die at Parihaka, was conveyed from Oeo there on Monday in an insensible state. No report of his death is yet to hand.

Shadowing an Actress.

Considerable excitement was created in the City Court, Melbourne, on the 20th ult, in connection with a charge against a man named Bichard Beattie, who was proceeded against by summons for follow ing Miss Nellie Stewart, the well-known actress, and causing her to fear that he intended to do her some bodily harm. Miss Nellie Stewart'did not appear in Court, but was represented by her father, who explained to the Bench that the accused haunted her like a shadow. It made no difference whether she walked, rode or drove, he was continually beside her, If she stayed in the house he leant tip against the outside wall or gazed into the back yard from a neighbor's house, which he rents, for that parti cular purpose. She even tried visits to the other colonies as a means of getting rid of him, but without effect—he always turned up at the most unexpected time and place. He had never been actually rude to her, but he was^ afraid that if his vagaries were not checked he might do her some injury. Detective-Sergeant Ward informed the Bench that he knew the man, who was a hard-working stone mason, though somewhat weak in i intellect;.' He had previously indulged in these extraordinary antics, and he had been confined in an asylum in conse quence. That was when he fell in love' with -the Premier of Queensland's daughter. The main defence was that the man meant ho harm, and that even a cat was privileged to look at the Queen. The Bench did not consider that the case came within their jurisdiction, and dis charged the defendant.

Murder and Outrage by Natives.

The s.s. Wanganui, which arrived at Cooktown on the 19th ult. from Dinner Island, brings news of the murder, in October, by natives at Woodlark Island, of two beche-de-mer fishermen, Albert Ilickbury and the mate belonging to the cutter Albatross. Ilickbury went ashore to shoot pigeons. The natives made a fire to cook the pigeons, and they then treacherously murdered him with a toma hawk. . The natives went off to the cutter, presumably to trade, and wounded the mate, who was lying sick on deck. The mate frightened away the natives, lifted the anchor, and set sail but ran the boat on the reef. The natives fol lowed, and found the man dead; with his foot on the helm. They looted the boat, took the dingy, and divided the spoils. Messrs Whitten and Solberg, of Seagull, who were the first traders who visited the island since the murder, brought the news to Dinner Island ; but the Gover nor being away exploring, Mr Healy re fused to take steps to punish the mur derers till the Governor's next visit to Samarai. The cutter Grace, owned by ** German Harry," which w-as lying at gu.desVW3 seised by natives and taken to St. Aignan. The s.s. Wanganui left Sudest, shortly after, and recovered her at St. Aignan. The natives, when the rescuing partydemanded the boat, jumped; overboard and deserted-her.

A horsebox on the Governor's special train took fire near Frankton when thy train was going at the rate of 35 miles an hour. Both the horses which it con tained were rather b;\dly burnt before they were released. The loose straw in the box had ignited, blazing up around the bodies of the animals. Otobohanca, April 2. The only matter of general importance dealt with at the meeting last night was a request to remove the restrictions from the whole of the King Country, an area of six million acres, so that the natives may deal with ifc as they please. At present only the Government have power to deal for any of these, lands. Mr Mitchelson said the Government could not think of granting the request on any consideration, and refused to entertain the proposal. Wahanui, who followed, said Mr Mitcholson was quito right in refusing and that the desire to remove the restriction from the country was not general, ■

]New Cure for ISTeiuralgia. Dr George Leslie, of Falkirk, in an article in the "Edinburgh Medical Journal," gives the result of some experi ments he made into the cure of neuralgia, headache, faceache, earache, and tooth ache. His treatment, which has been uniformly successful, is to administer to the patient powdered chloride of sodium— common table salt—to be taken as a pinch of snuff into the nostril on the side of the face affected. The application produces little pain or discomfort and the cure is effected in the short period required for nerve transmission, or so quickly that in many cases the patient does not realise that the agony is away until after a space for introspection. Although a single application usually suffices for the extinc tion of pain, especially when it is recent and localised, yet in cases of longstanding or distribution Dr Leslie has found that' the .pinches require to be repeated every ; half minute for about five minutes, or ten successive doses. Not only has this cure banished pain at the time, but in almost every case the affection has not returned for many months. In only two cases has it failed, one of toothache in which the nerve had been cut, and one in which the subject had been in the habit of taking morphia. Cases in which neuralgia had been persistent for years and in which the face o was so. tender that it could not be touched with a sponge yielded in less than five minutes.'



An America actor named Raymond tells a good story of how the stage moon once " went back on him " :—ln the middle of a long apostrophe, the tittering of the audience caused him to look round just as he spoke of the "beauty of the virgin moon now raising over the silent hills," to behold one half of the lustrous orb slowly ascending, while the other half was stranded on a mountain peak. When the curtain fell, the whole company went behind, and the moon and the whole solar system with great unanimity.
