Mr* Moss, candidate for Parnell, is suffer • ing ftom a slight accident that will confine lim j to the house for several days. Thomas Eussell, C.M.G., returns to England via San Francisco by the mail steamer to-night. (Its is proposed to form a company in cbnnection with the projected sanatorium •'it Te Aroha. j A plain woman lias some advantage over /a beautiful one. Ib is possible for other women to love her. ! JV)hn McGarry, an inmate of the Lunatio Asj lum, died there yesterday. The lower orders—Colonial distinctions, j Criminal Sessions open at Timaru to-' mo rrow. ! I:lussia is said to spend L 40,000,000 annu. all y for her armament. A Queensland editor has just had to pay 14il for libelling a doctor, by stating that the town " had long been in want of a rrood Epysican." ; The first volume of Mr John White's ■" Ancient History of the Maori" has been 'published by the Government. j I It is stated that the Pope and Czar are (negotiating through a noble monk with a view to the reunion of the Greek and Latin churches. Before fighting Laing at Wanganui in January next, Matthews has Slaven and Cosfcello, two pugilists from Australia, to {meet in Auckland, so that he has his hands pretty full for some time. At Oamaru on Saturday the Waitaki branch of the Educational Institute met to put on record the opinion that Bishop Neville's statement, with reference to the morality of public schools, was wan-anted. Shocking revelations of juvenile im morality at Auckland Police Court to day. '■ At New Plymouth a youth names Thos. Hargraves is charged with stealing various articles which he presented to his sweet heart.

To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another's breast is to become a principal in the mischief.

False was the cold, hard heart which beat I Her beauteous form beneath; " False were her many vo W3," he moaned— So were her hair and teeth."

At Dunedin, on Saturday, a boy namerl Alfred Roughton pluckily rescued from drowning another named John Smith. The latter, who is seven years of age, was spear ing fish at the steps of the wharf, when he fell in, and he was sinking for the third time when young Roughton jumped in and rescued him. Roughton learned to swim a little last summer.

"Ma," said a little four-year-old, ".I saw something run across the kitchen floor this morning without any legs ! What dd you think it was?" The mothor guessed various legless worms and things, and finally gave it up, when the little fellow said, " Why, ma, it was water !"

The late fire at Whiteley's, the " Univer sal provider," in London, is the third since 1880 believed to be the work of jealous rivals in business. The business belongs to a syndicate, who employ Mr Whiteley as manager at L 12,000. Between 1,400 and 1,500 hands are employed, and L 1,000,000 of capital is invested in the buildings and stock.

Everything " from a needle to an anchor " can be bought at Whiteley's. The story goes that a wag once went and asked to' be provided with " a second-hand coffin ;" and his countenance fell when the article was actually brought out for his inspec tion !

" Why don't you get up as early as you. used to a few months ago ?■" angrily asked a wife of her lazy husband. " Because, my. dear, it's sleep year," he grinned, as he turned over for another snooze. :

A great curiosity, and one that has caused many speculations, has been found at Pakahae, Poverty Bay. A few days ago. a shepherd named Kennedy saw the end of a sword sticking out from a sand hill, oiv which the sea had gradually gained. He secured it, and it has been found to be a sword of the fashion of 150 years ago, the steel being of wonderfully good quality.! Of course the interesting question is how. the sword got there, and this is a my&tevy. which will probably never be solved.
