Observations on the Cam bridge Show.

MAIIURA.NOI V. CAMBRIDGE

WHEN Mr Jeremiah Baiubridgo went as judge to the iuallurangi Show with Bill Payue ho was astounded at the barren aspect of the country, and was at a loss to know on what species of vegetable or animal life the people lived. Jerry was out of bod early in the morning, aud, gazing at the unfertile looking uncultivated ranges, ho exclaimed to Billy, " What does the people live on ?" During the same day the Show wa3 held. There wero a few horses, cattle, and sheep. It was a poor affair'; but, as Mr Baiabridge said, it was no worse than he expected ; and yet it was such a show that Mr Robort Robertson told tho " boss of the farmers " ol Waikato it was superior to that of Cambridge. Thero is something so crushing aud humiliating in this comparison that the Cambridge Farmers' Club will pro bably go into mourning, or else commit suicide, or, what is bettor, resolve either to have no show again, or that every member shall exhibit.

Awake 'ye Cambridge Farmers.

Why docs not each farmer connected with the Club make a point of exhibiting some representative of his herd-of his horses, sheep, pigs, and also articles of produce from the field, garden, aud dairy. What did the leading men of the Club exhibit at this year's Show ? Wo will start with tho big man of Cambridge—the President, Every Maclean, Esq. Ho exhibited absolutely nothing at all, except himself at tho head of the festive board. His connection with the Club aud unlimited control ot the finest Btock in the province waa well-known to the public, and as his intention not to assist at this year's Show was not known, they wore greivously disappointed. Tho two Vioe-Presidents appear toliavo exhibited to the same extent as their respected head. Mr Fantham, usually so prominent in Show matters, trotted out a juvenile colt ouly, while his two littlo boys exhibited a pet lamb, for which plucky endeavour to save the Show from disc-race they doservo a gold ; medal from the Farmers' Club.

The Wesleyan Cow.

One of tho village parsons sent his cow, and this ecclesiastical animal carried off first prize, being the only dairy cow ou the ground. Tho Rev. Mr Bull ought to be ap pointed chaplain to the Farmers' Club. Last year a worthy coach proprietor's wile took first prize for tho best butter, and if this anomalous state of things Is allowed to continue, we may another year have to chronicle the fact that Miss Grecian Bend, the pretty milliner, exhibited a Hereford bull aud carried el! champiou prize. Mr Douglas, the great sheep breeder, had one exhibit of sheep, and Mr R. 11. D. Fergus son, in the fullness of his heart at winning all the champion prizes for sheep, told the farmers at the Cambridge dinner that he blushed at the honour he had gained. Of course, his modesty is proverbial, aud his unaffected diffidence must bo generally appreciated by this time. Nevertheless, this gentleman acted a manly part at the show, and deserved the honours he gained. It is to be regretted that all other breeders did not mistake him for exhibiting.

The Lost Show.

The chief object in holding an agricul tural show is to direct the attention of the outside world to a particular district. These exhibitions of stock and produce enable (or should enable) strangers to inform them selves as to the capabilities of the district, the fertility of its soil, and tho excellence of its stock and products. A Southern gentle man attending tbe Cambridge Show was directed by tho catekeeper to the Farmers' Club building, as being the place where he would find the show of produce, aud the Southern critic walked through the building, and then went back to tbo gatekeeper to ask,"where was it?" It wa3 touching to see old Mr Robettson with eye-glass in position straiuing his lunars in tho endeavour to catch a glimpse of the Cambridge produce, which he came all the way "frae toon tae judge," and could not find. Tbe old geutle man seems still to be labouring under the belief that the Cambridge farmers played a practical joke on him, in getting him up to be judge of "a wee bit ac inferior butter," bad cheese, and decayed ham. However, he gave them a hit of his mind before he had done. As for the Show generally, it was simply a burlesque, a caricature, a sham, and a disgrace to all concerned, and in no respect wa - it a representative show for Waikato. We could almost lift up our voice and weep at tho effect ot such on the minds of strangers visiting Waikato, knowing so well how rich in flocks and herds the country is at the present time. Whether in respect to numbers or quality it may, with truth, be said that tho district has good reason to be proud of them.

A Big Procession.

Thero aro horse 3 and cattle which have won highest honours at the shows of Great Britain and in Australian and Southern shows, and as to numbers, there are cattle, horses, and sheep so numerous, that picking out the good stock only and starting them from the Farmers' Club in single file, as good old Mr Noah started his live stock from the ark, one behind the other, the Waikato stock would extend in one un broken line from the door of the Farmer's Club at Cambridge, to tho dam of Mr Bob Lamb's flour mill at Ngaruawahia, making a very imposing procession, Mr McLean, with his commanding and venerable ap pearance filling the rflle of " Noah " iv command. Joking apart, it is an unmiti gated farce, this trilling with the public and under pretence of holding a show, gathering a multitude together to see nothing, or next to nothing, when all the required material is to hand. "We know there are excuses to be made for Mr Fanthum, and for essrs MaMclean and Co., both objected to the show being held this year, and stated they would not exhibit.—Some affirm that the show was forced to its unworthy climax by supporters of the church which was holding a bazaar, so as to ensure the success of the latter, but such maligners deserve to be tossed up by the parson's first prize cow. Last year disappointed exhibitors were heard to dis claim against the two great breeders mentioned above, for selfishly swampintr the show ground with their invincible cattle, &c, and carrying off all the prizes ; this year the show was swamped (in another sense) because their stock was left at home. Narrow-minded grumblers have thus food for reflection.

What Visitors Expected to See. Visitors to the show travelled in Carter's Royal Mail from Hamilton to Cambridge. They observed luxurious pasture land giv ing eloquent promise of the condition of cattle to be seen at the show ; telling in its own language of the abundance of butter and cheese which would be seen competing at the show, yet as the southern visitor aßked " Where was it V Never was there spring weather more favourable to the growth of grasses and feed generally. Never was tem perature milder or better suited to the con dition and growth of stock. These auspi cious circumstances together with tho past reputation of Cambridge Show led visitors to anticipate an unsually excellent exhibi tion of all classes generally to be seen ; yet when the hour of inspection arrives, what see they?

What They Did Skk !

They gather round the dairy cow class, which should comprise at least a hundred entries if farmers did their duty, but after all their vain glorious boastings, like the mountain in labour producing one solitary mouse, bo the combined farmers of Waikato after all their crowing and blowing produced " one solitary cow," and that belonged— not to a farmer—but to the parson ! Mr Robertson in his somewhat rambling hut still not underserved censure spoke of the butter shedding tears when cut—why it was enough to make the Farmers' Club shed tears copiously to see such an unmitigated farce perpetrated under the name of ashowl It is but fair to thank those who were kind enough to bring exhibits, and as so much has been said against the dairy produce, it is due to Mrs Reynolds, senr., to state that the superior quality of her butler fairly entitled her to the first prize, and also justly gained Mrs Rayne's handsome special prize for the best butter. The few exhibitors are undoubtedly entitled to public thanks for exhibiting something. They did what the officers of the Farmers' Club should do. They did their best. Why did not all the officers of the Club distinguish themselves in like manner ?

What the Club should do. Mr Maclean might have sent butter from Fencourt. The vice-president was honored with the title of tho model-farmer of Wai kato when he lived on that well-kept farm at Hautapu. The model fanner must "chum up,"£and at future exhibitions show his friends and admirers a good example. Mr Fantham must not escape notice, though he from the first declined to exhibit his cattlo at the Show, be might have churned an exhibit of butter, that would not have been liable toln fection from epizootic pleuro-pneumoma,

Mr Fergusson made a sarcastic speech about people not exhibiting, but he left his, dairy cows and pedigree bulls at home, and if he had any good butter in his dairy ho very carefully left it thero, and poor old Robertson had "nao wark tao do." The lato show may yet result iv good, if it only puts those interested on their mettle. Cambridge has been noted for its men of energy and capital, who only require to be roused by popular enthusiasm, and with Mr Every McLean at their head, will sing after the jingo refrain— Wo ilou't want to show, But by jingo if wo do, Wove got th_ sheep, we've got tho stooV, We've got tho iiuney too.

The Waimate Plains.

[FROM OUK OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

HAWERA, this day. The deferred payment sections of the Wai mate land placed in the market wero sold by auction by Mr C. A. Wray at the Town Hall to-day. Eighteen sections, averaging iiO acres, were competed for, the bidding being very brisk. The prices recieved aver aged £7, but varied from £5 Is to £10 2s Cd. The general opinion is that tho price was very high. The upset price was £5, and the laud is liable to a shilling rate for the New Plymouth harbour. An intending selector asked the Commissioner if the Government would be responsible for damage done to sottlers property by the Queen's enemy. Mr Wray said nothing was provided iv the Act, but such an occurrence would bo an extraordinary case.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Beforo R. C. Rarstow, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS. Harriet Harris, William Laverty, nnd John Warren, were punished for indulging too freely. Richard Blencowo, who appeared with his face fearfully bruised and CHt, was also charged with this offeuce. It was stated that the prisoner was ar rested in Chancery street this morning, nnd as it was supposed that he had been the victim of a brutal assault, a remaud until to-morrow was applied for and granted. ON THE SPREE. Richard Dougherty pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness and disorderly con duct in Chancery-street, and was iiued 20s and costs. ______________

BAPTIST SOCIAL GATHERING.

A LARGE Gathering of the friends and con gregation of the Wellesley-street Baptist chapel was formed last evening for the pur pose of welcoming the Rev. Allan W. Webb, the pastor of tho church, ou his safo return from the South. Tho meeting was well represented by ministers aud friends of the rev. gentleman. Rev. A. W, Webb occupied the position nf chairman, and hav ing made a few introductory remarks, pro ceeded to give an interesting account of his visit to Duuediu, and the Conference at Christchurch, aud considered the press of Christchurch had not reported their pro ceedings, but simply given brief notices. Mr Webb said that in everything that per tained to journaliam iv a spirit of fair play and impartiaity in recording theproceedings of the various religious bodies, the Auckland Press wasgreatlysupcriortothatofthoSout-i. Mr Webb said that the Baptist union would meet again in two years' time. Oue ot the first fruits of the union had been an ex change of pulpits, which met with general approval, which would be of advantage in several respects, and especially as ministers would become better acquainted with each other and with the members of their de nomination, nnd thus promote that feeling ot denominational unity which was so much desired. Mr Webb closed his address by tenderiug tho warmest thanks of himself and congregation to Rev. J. Upton Davis, for his ministerial services during the past month, to which Mr Davis replied in his characteristic way. Rev. Mr Jones also briefly addressed the meeting, which closed with singing by the congregation and the beucdiction by the chairman.

THE SYNOD AND THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.

A CORRESPONDENT sends the following :— '•The discussions in the late Synod in Auckland, and the proposals rejected, as well as those carried, help much to shew what is the mind of members of the Church of England on tho vexed question of the Bible in schools. Appended is given from the minute book ot their proceedings, a copy of the four resolutions proposed, and of the amendments offered on each resolu tion. The change which took place iv tho views of the laity is worthy of notice. They began by rejecting a mild proposition for limiting their approval to only "so far as their instruction goes." It is clear that they intended to give an absolute and entire commendation to tho present system. For an expression of satisfaction with the pre sent system, there were—for 21; against 8. Aud yet, after some discussion, when asked to say that all practicable facilities for imparting religious instruction are already provided for in the Education Act now in force in New Zealand, the laity were, noes 24, ayes 7, while the clergy were altogether on the No side, i.e., noes 23. In curious contrast with their first division stands their division in favour of the New South Wales system, viz. :—Laity : Ayes, 20; noes, 8 ; showing that at least twelve of tho laity had changed their views in the course of tho discussion. A consideration also of the propositions rejected shows that they are not prepared to agree to any measure other than that in force in New South Wales. Every attempt to stamp ap proval upon the denominational system was negatived by large majorities, as also a reso lution in favour of reading the Bible by the schoolmaster. As far, then, as the mem bers of the Anglican Church are concerned, the question is limited to one issue, viz.,— Can the Now South Wales system be intro duced into this colony without imperilling the present New Zealand system ; and thus a great gain has been secured, as all other issues but . vat one seem to have been cut oil from the discussion. Tho second resolu tion was lost, because the clergy did not wish to appear in opposition to the General Synod.. Resolutions and Amendments Dis cussed at the Late Meeting of the Diocesan Synod at Auckland, Resolutions.—(l) "That this Synod ex presses its satisfaction with the present system of seculhr instruction in public schools, and does not desire any return to tho denominational Bchool system formerly in existence." (2) For this reason this Synod does not agree with the recommendations of the General Synod: " That gn. its in aid may be made to schools set on foot by any religious denomination, provided that the attendance and secular instruction in such schools shall come up to the required standard, and satisfy the Government In spector." (3) "This Synod believes that all necessary facilities for imparting religious instruction in the public schools may be obtained by tho adoption of the law now in force in New South Wales, and accordingly strongly recommends such an amendment of the Education Act as may bring it into accordance with the same." (1) Amendments proposed on first clause of first resolution, " That there be inserted so tar as such instruction is concerned." —Lost. (2) " That the whole of the first clause be omitted."—Lost. (3) " First clause of first resolution proposed to Synod."—Lost by— Clergy : Ayes, 9 ; noes, 12, Laity : Ayes, 21; noes, 8. (4) "Second half of the first resolution."—Carried. (5) Amendment on 2nd resolution, " This Synod recommends that provision be made by Government for limited assistance todenominational schools in certain specified centres of population; such assistance being contingent upon such schools coming up to the standard required by the Government Inspector in respect of accommodation, attendance, and secular attainments."—Lost. Clergy : Ayes, 8; , noes, 13. Laity: Ayes, 1 ; N oeß, 28. The second resolution was then put and lost. Clergy, ayes, 9; noes, 13. Laity, ayes, 26 ; noes, G. On the 3rd resolution the following amendment was proposed :— ." This Synod believes that all practicable facilities for imparting religious instruction are already provided for in the Education Act now in force in New Zealand." Lost, clergy, noes, 23; ayes, 0. Laity, noes, 21; ayes, 7. Second amendment, " This Synod would be glad to see such facilities for imparting religioas instruction as are given by the Education Act now in force in New South Wales, afforded by Government in the public schools of this country." Carried, clergy, ayes, 22 ; noes, 0. Laity, ayes, 20; noes, 8. Fourth resolution, " I his Synod would be glad to see provision made by Parliament for the reading aloud by the teacher, in tho presence of the scholars, at the openini? of each schoolday, of a portion of holy scripture, and by the recital of the Lord's >'rayer; no scholar being required to be present at such exer cises whose parents or guardians object." Lost, clergy, ayes, S ; noes, 8. Laity, ayes, 10; noes, 15,

The New Goldfield.

THE Paeroa correspondent of the Thames | " Advertiser says :—" As to what I hive said as to a reef, I repeat the statement that the reef is found, and is gold-bearing. As to one of the specimenu handed to the Warden, I repeat my positive opinion : it is from the cap of a reef, and was broken out in my presence." Somo particulars are also givou of a meeting ot prospectors ou the ground held by Bone Wharekiuo. At half-past nine C. F. Mit chell arrived at the Hot Springs, and was asked it he had any payable gold to show. Mr Mitchell showed his ground, and, ou in quiry, the Warden declined to protect it. Mr Mitchell showed ground peg and ipeg with the prospectors, but on the fall off towards the Waikou. Immediately after this, a meeting vi the natives assem bled to hear what Mr G. T. Wilkin son wanted to say on behalf of the Govern ment. Karauna and others were willing to open the country for a payment of £1,000. This was declined with thanks, on the other side. Morgan (Nukena Hori), tho owner of the land on which the gold has been found, was quite satisfied to take the same arrangement as that made at Short land aud Grahamstown. At 3 p.m. all hands mustered in front of Mr O'Halloran's hotel in tho open. Mr Edward Quinn moved, and Mr C. F. Mitchell seconded, " that it was desirable to open tho country for gold mining." This was carried, but many ot those present did not vote. Somo further discussion took place as to whe ther the resolution previously arrived at would not tend to cause a rush, while the couutry was as yet comparatively unproved, and Mr C. A. Cornos moved that it was not yet proved that this was a payable goldliold ; in fact, tho sauio resolution in effect; aa that most sapient ouo proposed eight days beforo tie discovery of Hunt's claim, namely, "That tho Thames was a duffer, and not a payable goldlield." Tho Warden, in reply to a question asked, said ho was now pre pared to grant protection to the prospectors' ground, a miner having stated to him that there was gold in stone that he had taken from Hone's leader a short timo before. Mr Tom Corbctt was his authority. Mr Cor bett was challenged on tho statement, and said he had found a speck, undoubtedly gold, iv tho stone taken out. After a great a deal of conversational discussion, tbe mooting broko up without passing my other resolution. Jußt at this stago Df the proceedings tho ouly breach ot ?ood order took place. Thero was no breach of tho peace. It appeared from what I could learn, that Mr C. T. Mitchell was believed to bo your correspondent as to the valuo of the Te Aroha gold discovery, md that the lire-eating individual, who is it present a Government contractor, and not a digger, was about to use violence towards a person who maintained the ac curacy of the statements made by whose iver made. I merely mention tho matter, lest I should havo to place the name before the public. A sample of stone will be sent by the Vivid for testing.

The Latest.

(From our own Correspondent.)

1 OZ. 2 DWTS. TO THE TON.

GRAHAMSTOWN, thia day,

The stone brokon out of tho leader in the Prospectors' Claim at Te Aroha, aud brought down by Mr Warden Kenrick for the purpose of testing, was crushed in a single stamper at tho Herald Battery yes terday. Exactly ninety-five pounds of quartz were reduced, and the pro cess from first to last was watched by Moore and McGuire, two miners from tho district told off for that duty at the request of Mr Kenrick, owing to their having no connection whatever with tho claims already pegged off. Mr Bernard Wolf, manager of the battery, was also present nearly tho whole time, aud rendered every assistance. The crushing was started at an early hour in the morning, and was finished in tho evening. The retort was taken off the fire at ten minutes to ten in the presence of Moore and McGuire and tho " Advertiser " reporter, and, on weighing the gold, it was found that exactly a penny weight of pure metal had been obtained. This is at the rato of loz. 3dwts. to the ton, and tho result is considered a vory satis factoiy oue. Not a colour of gold was seen in the stone before putting it through tha stamper. I may mention that no silver was used in the process until tho stuff was put into the berdons. The object in thus de parting from the general rule boing to obtain the fairest possible test of the quartz.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of the Waste Lands Board took place this afternoon, tnere being present:—Messrs D. A. Tole (Commissioner of Crown Lands), J. C. Firth, W. P. Moat, J. May, aud B. Tonks.

Grant and Foster's Settlement. — A telegram was read from the Honorable Mr Rolleston, intimatin? that the Govern ment approved generally of the terms of sale to Messrs Grant and Foster, and in forming them that Mr Russell's claim would be dealt with independently. In a further telegram the Minister desired it to be clearly understood that clause 4 did not imply that the Government would allow any rebate to Grant and Foster tor immi grants introduced, and that therefore they would have to b . brought out at their own Coß t._'fhe Chairman reported that he had wired an answer to the effect that tho Board had placed no such interpretation upon the clause as that which the Minister feaied. It had been tacitly understood that the immigrants were to bear the whole cost of transport thither. A letter had also been received from Captain Steele, stating Messrs Grant and Foster's desire to have Mr Russell's claim settled at once. Mr Smith (Surveyor) had been deputed in consequence to confer with Mr Hesketh (Mr Russell's solicitor) on tho subject. Vesey Stewart's Party,—Tho Chair man announced the receipt of information to the effect that Mr G. V. Stewart had paid c deposit of £3000 at London upon the Te Puko block. The Lady Jocelyn was to have sailed on the 25th September with tho first party of settlers to be followed by the Himalaya on the 25th October. Than lis.—A communication was received from the Minister of Lands, conveying to the Board an expression of his thanks for the facilities which they had offered for the sale of tho Uawa block at Gisborne. Comment was made upon the rarity of such favours, the Board having only received two letters of thanks since its forma tion.

LAND SALES. —The Chairman stated the result of a land sale at Tuakau, Three sections of an aggregate area of 196 acres had been sold for £672, being an average of £3 2s $d per acre, 1460 acres at Coromandel had also been sold. Gum Digging.—Three tenders were received for the right of digging gum upon the Maori Whenua Block (Mongonui), viz., Stewart and Garlick, £36; R. Wyles, £50 ; James Reid, £175. Reid's tender was accepted. Patutari.—lt was agreed to invito tenders for the grass seed upon the Patutari Block.

POKENO Hill. —It was resolved to make a reservation of 50 acres of land in this dis trict for recreation purposes. Homestead Selections.—A number of applications for homesteads selections were approved, the survey fees having been paid. Crown Grant.—James Craig, a settler at Manku since 1861, applied for a Crown Grant.—Agreed. Mongonui Bluff.—The Surveyor re ported that no progress had been made with the survey of the Waipaua block, for the same reason that other blocks had been necclected, viz., press of work.—lt was resolved to ask the Surveyor to push for ward with them as quickly as possible. Hillyer's Cr_-EK.— An application for the subdivision and salo of small lots of 30 acres each at Hillyer's Creek, North Shore, was referred to theiChief Surveyor, in order" hat he may suggest a practicable scheme.

There were two patients in the Wellington Hospital of the same name. By some mis take their medicines were for several days exchanged. The funny part of it is that they both throve better than ever on the physic. A tenant had been importuned so fre quently for his reut that in a climax of ex asperation he turned on the landlord with the cogent and conclusive retort, "Now, yon needn't put on so many airs, old man! Why, I owe enough in this town to buy up all your old houses 1" A fitting Recompense.—Mick—" Hallo, Pat, where have yiss baen thim three or four weeks?" Pat—"Bedad, in jail." M.— "What were yiss in for?" P.—"For telling the truth—His Honour ax'd me if I were guilty, and when I said I wur, that's the re ward tlie spalpeen gave me." " A-hem," said the sewing machine, look ing with love burning eyc3 at the needle. "Its all in my eye 1" Baid the needle. Do you catch tho thread of their conversa tion?

FROM A STABLE TO A MANSION.

Mr. Walford relates a curious incident id thb career of that Duke ot Chandds, Whose rhagniliccntje, aud lavish expenditure in ad orning his mansion of Canons, is the theme Of one of Pope's Satires. While travelling once in Herefordshire, the Duke's attention as he approached the Castle Inn in Marl borough, was attracted by piercing screams. Ho instantly alighted from his carriage and perceived a handsome young woman, little more than a girl, struggling in the grasp of a powerful fellow, who was cruelly ilogging her with a whip. Her face was streaming with blood. A crowd ol spectators were com misserating the victim, yet noue dared to interfere with the brute who was beating her and who, it appeared, was her husband and the ostler of the inn. In answer to the Duko's indignant remonstrance, the ostler replied that the woman was hia own and that he could do what ho liked with hor in the way of administering correction, but if his Grace felt interested in her, he might havo her for £20. The offer was accepted. The Duke, wo are told, acted like a man of honour I He had the young woman educa ted by the best of masters, aud subsequently on the death ot his second Duchess, made her his wife. Nor docs it seem that I he ever had cause to repent of his bargain, for in his will he says, "I owe the greatest comfort I havo enjoyed in this life to my Duchess Lydia Catherine." This story may, tosomccxtent, bcapocryphal, butitiscertain that tha origin of tho third Duchess of Chan dos was very obscure. "The Duko ot Chan- Uos' marriage," writes a correspondent of Dean Swift, " has mado a great noise, and tho poor Duchess is often reproached with her being brought up in Burr-street, Wup- I'ing-"

FOOLING A CHINAMAN.

And then Sadly Realising titat thb Chinaman had Fooled Him.

(From tho " Now Orleans Pic»yune.")

A plump littlo Celestial, his almond eyes twinkling with delight and an extraor dinary grin lighting up his yellow counten ance, dropped in to witness tho lottery drawings tho othor day.

Ho watched tho blindfolded boys draw the numbers from the wheel with apparent interest, and horo the jokes of the crowd around with evident good uuturo. " Say, John, you washeo that man's shir tec ?" asked one of the crowd, pointing to one of tho benevolent looking commis sioners.

"1 washec heapee plonty shirteo if I wineo plizo," replied tho bland Mongo lian.

" Have you got a ticket, John ?" inquired the man in tho crowd.

"Well, me tlikee mo habec," replied the Chinaman, drawing one from his pocket. " Tlickee win ?" he inquired.

The man in the crowd looked at tho num ber, and scanning his list, found that it had como in for a 500dol. prize. " Well, Johu," replied tho man in the crowd, very inuocently, " I thiuk you've lost."

"Chinee niMi loseo allee time," said ho subject of the Flowery Empire," goteeout luckee, glc»s tlow thekeo away." " You needn't do that, John," said the man, with a patronising air. "I'll givo you a dime for it."

" Dlimo too lillco. Glimme a dollar,' said the Celestial.

"A dollar's too much for a ticket that can't win. We'll split the difference and call it half a dollar, eh ?" said John's kiud informant.

" Chinee man glottce no luckee ; Mclican man takeo alloc mlouco. IVkee the tlickee and glimme llo' bittec," nnd John passed over his ticket in exchango for tho money. When tho Mongolian's grinning features had disappeared, the man chuckled and remarked that lie had "got her this time."

"Let's sec tho ticket," |said ouo of his friends.

The man who had made the lucky invest ment handed the ticket over, wheu his friend exclaimed :

" Why, George, it was drawn last June 1"
