TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

[per press association. DCIMU.-ertttl M*r«n*«nt«.| Wellington, Septemln r 2). Several of the Ministers will be leaving Wellington this week. The Premier goes to Wanganui on Thursday,' and the Minis ter of Lands leaves for the soueh to morrow or Friday. Mr Ward left for Ihvercargill yesterday, and will shortly pay a visit to Australia. The Wrig-bt Trn>f, In the case against the Public Trustee, Judge Richmond observed that, as far as he could gather from the evidence given, the law costs appeared to bo the primary cause for the action, as there did not ap pear to beany specific charges against the department. It was a great pity there was not a proper officer here as m other countries to look after the taxing of costs for poor suitors. In this colony, un fortunately, those who looked after this work were persons not having large ex perience but no doubt act to the best of their ability. HUho|» ftiiter'a 111 m***. Nelson, September 29. The Bishop is much worse- this morn ing. He is now lying m an unconscious state, and no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

Mr ami Mrs A. W. Rutherford, of Mendip Hills, with a station hand and a servant girl met with a serious accident on Saturday while driving home from Christ church by the Hawkswood—Waiau road. They were descending a long steep cutting, which was very alippery owing to the recent rains and the wagonette got too much way on and the off wheels running off the side the vehicle overturned. Mrs Rutherford had a collar bone broken and was badly bruised, the man was slightly shaken, ana the girl badly so, and Mr Rutherford escaped unhurt. The wagonette was wrecked, but the horses were unhurt. The "Mercantile and Bankruptcy Gazette" is responsible for the following :—"lnDune din, there are about seventy practising lawyers, Christchurch has a similar contin gent, while Wellington and Auckland have, respectively, rather more; this gives, say 300 m the four cities. The second sized towns number amongst them another 100, • and scattered throughout the country, as thick as plums m a pudding, are enough with those we have mentioned, to make a grand total, of at least 800 members ot the legal brigade. Of these, say twenty earn from £1500 to £3000 per annum, 100 more, say, from £500 to £1500, whilst the others are earning enough to keep body and soul together, grubbing along from: year to year without profit to themselves and with little honor to the profession to which they belong. A scene of a remarkable kind was (says the Scotch correspondent of the "Otago Daily Times "J witnessed the other Sunday m Ann street, Dundee. It seems that the Hair dressere 9 Association m that town passed a resolution raising the price of shaving from Id to l£d, and putting and end to Sunday shaving. One member of the fraternity, however, broke through the agreement, and to brif g him to terms the Association opened an opposition shop next door to him for gratuitous shaving on Sunday. The recalci trant barber opened his shop as usual at 7.30 a.m., but even at that early hour some forty members of the Association, with their assistants, were watching his proceedings, and they forthwith opened their premises, at the same time placing pickets at the culprit's door, to keep people from entering. In spite of this he got a fe\v customers, but the Association shop did a lively business. Eight of its members at a'time did the shav ing, working by a system of reliefs, while their assistants did the soaping, and m three hours they had shaved about 500 person*, the proceedings awakening much interest m the neighbourhood. The Association announced their intension of reopening their free shop on the following Sunday, btit as this does not seem to have been done it is to be presumed that the offending barber had previously caved m.

Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten^ and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse m England. He won the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat with. Buck stone for the Ascot Cup. BuckstoiK was another grand horse, and was famous not 1 only for the dead heat he ran with Tim Whiffler for the Ascot Cup/ but also for his match against the Earl of Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas aside, which he r won m a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire L of Briseis, who won the Melbourne Cup and 1 Derby, and the dani of Maeilleathean peing by Fiskerman, shows his grand strain of blood, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's great success has been from Australian bred marcs, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordenfeldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman On the 'dam's side.
