KAIPARA SHIPPING.

Hblknsville, this day.—Sailed, yesterday from the Heada: Syr on, and Louis Montgomery.

The Minister of Justice (Hon. J. A. Tole) visited the Gaol yesterday, and heard a number of complaints and requests which wore preferred by the prisoners. The principal complaint was that they were denied tobacco, while the " weed " was sup plied in all the other gaois of ths colony, and the chief request was that a monster plum pudding might be provided by wny of a Christmas relish. No promise was made in either case. Mr Tole will pay another visit to the Gaol—this time in company with the Visiting Justices—before leaving Auckland.

■ Allen Bell, hotelkeeper of Omarumutu, has filed his petition in bankruptcy. Owen and Graham are the only secured creditors, but as their claim amounts to £326 17s !)d, and the value of the security is only £290 '2b Gd, the deficiency of £36 15s 3d makes up the total of unsecured liabilities to £239 Is. The assets are set down at £219 12s 2d, leaving a deficiency oi only £19 8s lOd. Arthur Heather, who claims £148 12s 2d, is the largest creditor.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the "Pro fessor," hag a remark about what he calls the " parallax of truths." "If you wish to get the distance of a heavenly body, you Enow that you must take two observations from remote points' of the earth's orbit—its midsummer and midwinter, for instance." So in politics and religion — we get the "•parallax of truth" by comparing obser vations made from opposite points of view. On this principle we quote the following estimate of General Gordon from the "Pacific Commercial Adver tiser," a paper published -in Honolulu : —''Chinese Gordon is a filibuster of the' first water, and if he meets a fili buster's fate we cannot sco why any fraction of the world should be sorry. He wont among' a people to kick.up'a bobbery, totally unauthorised by the British Govern ment, and if Mr Gordon is scragged it will be nothing more than the fate he has courted. There is a lot of mock senti mentality about Gordon, principally from those who have made no study of the situa tion." It is very sad to reflect that in our admiration of the chivalrous i heroism of Gordon we may all ef us have been indulg ing in " mock sentimentality," and are thus exposed to rebuke from the enlightened press of the Sandwich Islands. A rebuke from such a quarter is a rebuke indeed !

It is Baid that when the late John Brown entered the Royal service, tho littlo princesses were ordered to call him " Mr Brown," and all obeyed except Louise. The Queen thereupon informed her that if she again addressed Mr Brown without a handle to his name, she would be sent to bad. The next morning, when he presented himself in the royal apartments where the family assembled, the little miss said, flippantly, "Good morning, Brown." ■ Then, as sho saw the eyes of her queen-mother fixed upon her, sho rose, and, with a courtsey, oon tinued, " And good-night, Brown; for I'm going to bed." And she walked resolutely away to her punishment. A little boy being asked what the chief end of man was, replied, "The end what's got the head on."
