Miss Dorothy Tennant some time ago when seeking a model discovered a likely subject m the shape of a crossing sweeper; and' while conducting him to Richmond Terrace, she met her family's old friend Mr Gladstone. Greatly amused at her companion, he exclaimed, " Who's your friend?" Then and there the crossing sweeper, much to his dismay, was pre sented to the People's. William.^ On entering the Tennant roension, the little urchin was tremendously impressed by the liveried servant who had opened the door, and, after looking back at him several times, whispered mysteriously to his kind hostess, I say, mi.^s, why does your big brother wear brass buttons I Always thoughtful, Miss Tennant first led her charge to the servants hall, where sh« sat beside him as he played havoc with the well-filled dishts placed before him. At the conclusion of his repast, Miss Tennant asked the boy how he liked ifc. *' Proper," replied the crossing sweeper ; yer mother do cook prime ?

The A raw* arrived at Wellington from London via Hobart and way ports early this morning. Her dales are—Plymouth, Octolxsr 3; Teneriffe, October 8; Cape Town, October 24; and Hobart, November 13, She brings 193 passengers for New Zealand port* »nd 1700 tons cargo. Sir F.

Messrs John Orr and Co., the agents for the M'Corniick Harvester Company, have received intelligence that, the new steel reaper and binder have commenced this season's Australian campaign by securing the first prize at Jerilderie, Murrumburrah, Singleton, Young, and at the Queensland .Exhibition held at Brisbane. At the Christchurch R.M. Court to-day W. H. Cooper, batcher, was charged with selling a shoulder of mutton affected wiih abscess. Defendant is contractor for the supply of meat to the Charitable Aid Board. The recipient of the meat was a woman re ceiving aid. She stated m evidence that the abscess was not discovered till the meat had been cut ready for cooking. Medical evi dence was given that the meat was affected. For thedefenceit was urged that there could be no conviction unless it were proved 'that defendant knew of the existence or presence of the disease, and that it was impossible, without dissection, for hinv to have such knowledge; also that such growths were common m sheep, and that it was believed they did not render the other parts of the meat unfitted for food. Mr Bectham, R;M., said he was inclined to Dr Meares' opinion that, where abscess was present, it rendered the whole carcase unsound. There was nothing to show that the defendant knew of the abscess, but everything to show he had sot the means of knowing, and the case was dismissed.
