Tho Bait Swallowed.

Following this on Sept. 5, "Novelist" writes to Amy -. " Dour Madam,—l will coinnicticc by answering your questions, I am ;il. present in business on my own account, but as I told you in my last letter, 1 inn not making sullicicnt income to keep v wifo. 1 have a very small capital, not moro than £100, and" in time I have no doubt I shall do well. 1 belong to Eng land. Height, sft. S.in. ; - eyes brown ; hair light. You ask me am I pre pared to make a home immediately. It depends entirely on whether or no we have sufficient means between us to make a comfortable homo. I will make an ap pointment, and will you please write and say whether or no you will keep it? At the end of tho path in tho Symonds-streot Cemetery nearest St. Benedict's, or tho Roman Catholic Church, there is a wooden scat. If you will write and say you will meet mc there at 3 o'clock on Monday or Tuesday afternoon, I will be thero without fail. I shall carry my umbrella in my hand, and if you see me open it, take out your pocket-handkerchief and let it fall." The Proper Style ot Correspondence. This reminds me of an American story in j which is described the proper style of corre- , spondence to carry on with "mashers." | There lived in St. Louis a sensible old Ger man. He had a daughter named " Mina," who attracted the attention of one of those unfortunate creatures of tho "dude" family. He found out where she lived, and tho next day an unkempt urchin brought Miss Muller a nolo marked " strictly confidential." The contents wero that he loved her for herself alone, and the postcript was as fol lows : _ " R.S. — That my darling may mako no mistake, remember that I will wear a light pair of pants and a dark cutaway coat. In my right hand I will carry a small cane, and in my left a cigar.—Yours for over, AIiOLi'HUS." Miss Muller, like a sensible girl, took tho noto to her father, and asked him to write an answer. The old man's postcript was in the following strain : "Dot mino son may make no misdakes. I vill pc dreshed in mine shirt sleeves. I vill year in my right hand a glub, in mine left hand a six-shooter. You will recognise mo py do vay I bats you on de head a goobleof dimes twice mit deglub. Vait for me on de corner, as I have somedings impordant to inform you mit.—Your frent, Hkinkicii Mullek." For some unex plained reason, Adolphus was not on hand, much to the grief of the old man, who meant all ho wrote. But we must return to " Novelist " and " Amy." Amy Is Offended. Of course Amy wrote, saying she would be at the place and timo oppointed, but she was " not." Perhaps she was overlooking the unsuspecting "novelist" from a safe distance by means of a field glass. This should have shown the fellow that he had been "fooled," but "Amy" kept the ball rolling by writing immediately and de nouncing "him" for not keeping his ap pointment, and pretending that it was mad. For a different spot. She adds, "I am now ablo to judge what you really are. I in tended, as I was in earnest (as I thought you woio), to show you tho deeds of four cottages in Parnell which I hold in my own name ; also my Bank Receipt Book, showing to my ere.it thero placed J. 750, left mo by my uncle a year ago, as well as tho cottages. I thought you a gentleman by the letters you wrote, but now finding my mistake, I am heartily thankful for my timely escaj ". from the hands of what in reality I , do truly believe you to be—A Mere Mo.sky Hunter. You advertise for a lady of for-1 tune, and being answered by a lady of that discription, in the next letter tell her that you have nothing more or less than tho enormous sum of iIOO. No man with the smallest amount of gentlemanly feel ing would act as you have done,"

"Novelist" Feels Very Sore,

Tho reproaches from "Amy" touched poor "Novelist" on the raw, and he wrote back a moit pitiful letter. He maintained that he kept tho appointment, and stayed there for three-quarters of an hour, i ur ther, he offered to prove it if she doubted his word. Her letter, ho added, was " a knock-down blow;" and "now that you have told mo what you are really worth in a monetary sense, you are placed beyond me. You should not have written me a letter liko this, for it made me feel very sore. I do not think we would suit one another, because I am naturally of a very affectionate and confiding disposition. I return all your letters; but do not forget to write and say you do think I am a gentleman." " Amy " has not informed us whether she granted tho prayer, so we presume this closed the matrimonial farce between " Novelist " and herself. "Novelist" was not one to be annihi lated by tbe first rebuff, so we find also a great amount of correspond ence between bira and sundry other girls, none of whom gave a genuine signa ture. In this manner he corresponded with ''Bertha," "Edith," "Lizzie Lincoln," and "Maggie" under the character of "Genuine," " X.Y.Z.," etc. Maggie's letter, it seems, answered his advertisement in a most loving epistle, and by noxt post she received a letter thanking her for her kindness, and saying:—" I am only seeking a young lady for a wife, and for nothing else. I feel sometimes very miserable, and you cannot tell how light hearted your letter has made me. Your letter is kind, and I feel now you must be a nice, kind girl." Then follows

Another Appointment As follows :—"Albert Park, by the foun tain, Saturday afternoon, 5 p.m. (five o'clock). I will be dressed in a grey coat and brown liat, and will carry a black umbrella. You must please carry your liandkerchief in your hand, and that is how I will know you. Be sure to carry your hand kerchief." "Genuine,"ali_s"Novelist,"ali_B "XY..Z.," was in the Park and by the fountain from twenty minutes before 5 till 5.30, eagerly scanning every passing female, none of whom, however, carried tbe all important handkerchief. " Bertha's " reply to " Genuine's " advertisement was so artfully concocted as to at once enlist the young man's affections. She gave her means as "very good," Baid she was tired of single life, and willing to acoept his proposal, and closed by summing up her accomplishments, which included " playing piano and harmonium, taking lessons on harp and violin, a knowledge of Maori and French, and a smattering of German." That this was a hoax should have been ap parent, but it evidently "took " exceedingly well, for it evoked a revelation by the too confiding young man of his name and address, accompanied by his card. He also asked if he could "call." In order to close the correspondence, the girls collected all tbe envelopes of letters sent by tho übiquitous individual calling himself "Novelist," "X.Y.Z.," and " Genuine," packed them up neatly, and forwarded them to his private office in town. They informed him at the same time of his folly, and expressed a hope that he had learnt a lesson. The result was that "Maggie " got a reply as follows: —" Dear Sir," (the writer evidently assumes that ho has been victimised by a man) —" I can see now that I have made an ass of myself, but we are all liable to make donkoys of ourselves once of twice in our lifetime, and I own that this is not the first time I have made an ass of myself. lam glad that you have derived some innocent amusement out of my folly. I hope that it will be as you say, only innocent amusement, I have derived no amusement out of the corres pondence whatever, only experience. I feel perfectly sure that you cannot have laughed at my folly more than I have myself, and in conclusion I must confess that you have had the best of the joke.—l am, dear sir, yours, &c, Genuine." This little " joke " mn_t have cost " Genuine " a few pounds.

One More Unfortunate,

It is impossible for us to give even an idea of the majority of the letters before n«, and one moro instanoe of the matrimonial fraud must suffice, "Stranger," ayoune gentleman lately arrived, advertised for "a young lady with means as a wife." One of , the gay young girls already mentioned answered, staling that Bhe was " an orphan, that she had sufficiont means left her by her father, was tired of single life, and anxious to wed." The next letter from "Stranger" earns his title to the applica tion of the term " New Chum " in its most verdant significance. He not only enclosed his photo, but stated where he" was em ployed, his full name and address, and asked for an interview on Sunday, the 14th inst., at 4 p.m., at the Post-office. He was to be known by his white vest, specially worn for this auspicious occasion. Miss " Louie Taylor " was that naughty young lady's false signature, and sho did not keep the appointment; so hero another farce e*ded.

All this that we have related, and a lot more that we cannot publish, but have re ferred tobriefly, should act as a caution to the matrimonially-inclined young men who advertise. We are assured that some genuine answers are sent to their pathetic appeals for a wife and—a fortune—but in the vast majority of cases the replies are " cooked 'by shop-girls, who find this species of amusement a most pleasurable way in which to pass away the spare moments These " frauds " have fceefl practised for years, and before making an,-

I other appointment, we recommend all recent victims to make sure liiat they are not I "going too far."

THE SUICIDE AT NORTHCOTE.

Inquest on the Body,

An inquest wan held on Saturday afternoon at the Provincial Hospital, before Dr. Phil son, Coroner, on the body of Frederick Davidson, carpenter, who died by his own hand at Northcote. Mr Richard Smith was chosen foreman of the jury. The foi. lowing evidence was taken by the Coroner • —Dr. Bond, Resident Surgeon of the Hospital, deposed that deceased was brought to the Hospital on Thursday afternoon, the 2oth iust., by the police. He was in a very prostrate condition, aufferine from burna in the chest and abdomen, also in the face and in other parts of tho body. His pulse was regular and his breathing natural. On questioning him as to the cause, Davidson answered rationally, stating that he had exploded 20lbs of gunpowder for the purpose of destroying himself, as he had been living a miserable lifo through paralysis. Witness examined him, and h_ was put to bed, where his wounds were dressed. He refused all nourishment, with the exception of a little brandy. He pre scribed morphia, after which he slept. He lingered until Friday at noon, when he died. Death resulted from the injuries he received' Eli Jas. Butteiworth, a carpenter, de posed that he resided at Koithcote. Did not know deceased. Was working on Thursday. Heard a report of an explosion seveial hundred yards away from the place where lio was working. He ran to ascertain the caiue of the report and saw Davidßun standing by a house! His clothes were on fire. He and a neighbour named Smith tried to get his things off, and threw water over him, he mutf .red : "I could not do it, could not gnh t_o rovolvor off." Ho bogged of them to let him shoot himself. Having, pulled off his clothes, they wrapped him in a blanket. He wished them to inform his wife, who. He said.lived in Marmion-strcet. They procured oil and applied it to the burned parts of his body, and had him conveyed to tho ferry boat in a conveyance. On the way to the boat, deceased told witness the wholo of the circumstances, and said he was sorry he did not blow his brains out with the revolver. He was very quiet during the passage across the water, and said his reason for attempting to take his life was owing to physical sufferings, of which ho could not get cured.

James Daviui. n. s.n - f «cC3a?cl, a stone mason by trade, identified the body as that of his father, who was 65 years of age. Last saw him on Sunday, the 25th inst., when he appeared ir. fair health. He was quite sober. Ho was always of temperate habits. He had been in a low desponding way for several years. Suffered very much frota paralysis in his right arm, and found it diffi. cult to pursue hiscalling. Helived by himself in a littlo house which he put up at North cote about a year ago. The pistols Droduced wero the property of deceased.

Constable Hutchinson, stationed at Devonport, gave evidence. On hearing of the event, he went and examined the cot tage recently occupied by Davidson, He examined the place, and found the foi lowing note inside a box, which was identi fied by tho son as in his father's handwriting*; —"I take this stop to avoid prolonged Buffering, and to avoid giving others pro longed trouble. God bless you all. I can't, get sleep. My bank-book is on the shelf overhead, in the tool-house. My son Uvea five doors above Williams's, the tailor, in Viotoria street. God bless you, my dear Jimmy! This arm bothers me. No rest at night. Boßtgono. Good-bye! Good-bye! To Jimmy." The constable found the sum of £2 12s (iid in the pocket of the trousers of de ceased. Found also two single-barrelled pistols (produced) and a number of carpeiu ter's tools.

Hannah Davidson deposed that she had been married to deceased nine years. He was a sober man, but some what eccentric in his habits. Dr. Wilis had prescribed medicine for him. He lived in Marmion-streot, and went to North cote daily to his work, returning in the evening. There had been noquarrels between them.

The jury considered the evidence and returned theit verdict: "That deceased committed suicide whilo in a state of tem porary insanity."

Frank Steele, a stockman at Hakatahi, in Westland district, is missing, and it it feared he has been killed, as his horse and dogs have returned without him.

From Hokitika " abominable " weather is reported. It has been raining there for weeks, and shipping business is suspended because of floods.
