"Sir," said an irate little gentleman of Auckland who may be described as almost an M.H.R., "I would have you know, sir, that I have been well brought up." "Possibly," was the answer, " but you have not been brought up far." According to Chinese newspapers the native opposition to the Tientsin Railway is beginning to grow so serious that certain illustrious personages have gone so far as to recommend its abandonment. '

What need for an Irish House of Parlia ment? Westminster Hall was entirely roofed with oak from Ireland, said to haVe been cut at Oxmantown, once a Tillage near Dublin, now part and parcel of that city.

Little Ellen, three years" old, cut her thumb ; she kept Very quiet about it until it began to bleed, then she screamed ; " Oh mamma! come quick, the gravy's all a running out !"

A committee of Wellington City Council brought up a report last night re. electric lighting of Hie streets, in which they said they had an offer from Mr W.
