The rpeusQ' who forwards such a message as bhe above evidently considers that thg only persons '■worthy to be called cesidiOCkts. are the property owners.

They represent a young lady of sufficiently prepossessing appearance, apd with j-yhat our poet would describe as " a wealth of go'den hair." She appears to be coming downsbaire in somowhat of a hurry, and to have wrapped the best summer parlour curtains round her as a robe. For want of a better belt she has fastened the affairs round her waist with a snake—a brass one. She seems ,to be waving a table-clobh above her head, apparently trying some sort of gymna3tic performance therewith. Underneath this mysterious figure are inscribed the words, "Lddy Audley'a Secret." That ia why it interested me, this picture poster. I had seen the play many times— at Home and abroad. But Lady Audley in a " make-up " like the picture was exciting. The play had to be seen again ; 1 went. **• * * ♦ * # * Of course ib was a cell. Nobody appeared in " toga " like the girl in the poster. Miss Vivian looked nice, and gave one plenty of vocal power for one's money. She took a violent amount of exercise around the stage, too, and made a heap of, noise, but she never came that way down staire, in muslin window-curtains with a snake belt. Above all the wealth of golden hajr waeconspicuous from its absence. As a matter of faob, of course, the attractive posters have nothing to do with " Lady Audley " or her secret. They are the counterpart of those which were printed to represent "She" when Wise Eyre produced the dramatised version of Mr Haggard's novel at the Gaiety, in London. The picture iseuppoaed to represent the moment when " She " *tnv.eile before " Leo." The pjay was a failure, and t>he '* ad " bills were sold. Well, they have gome in useful any way, * -s- «■ * ♦ * * # * I don't like to be always harping on evangelical topics, but I must say a word of praise on behalf of the warning spoken by Mr Varley at his meeting to men last Saturday. Amongst other things he laid special stress upon the danger of men trusting the care of fcheir health to medical quacks who come along and pose aa specialists. Now, that warning is especially needed in Auckland, for if ever a body of people were prone to believe in quacks, we are the people. No matter what stamp of man comes along, he is sure of a hearing provided he poses as a specialist. *** # * * Even Mr Varley must have noticed tha fc facb during the short, time he has sojourned amongst us, in order to tell us how bad we are, and how thankful he feels that he ia not even ac other men. But it struck me that it was rather ungraceful for Mr Varley to assail specialists, for " Hawks dinna peck at hawks c'en," and surely he must admit that he too is somewhat of a specialist in the religious line, , : **** . # * •* * * Tim Doolan writes me ac follows: Zauaiel, ould boy, that flamin'localist is at it agin. Iα a lashtFriday's local hoses, seshe: M Amongst the discoveries made by the botanists who accompanied Stanley in his African expedition was one of peculiar interest, and particularly striking, although it is very improbable whether it can be made of any use, as the climate of Equatorial Africa cannot be exported to other parts of the world, and without that climate it is very doubtful whether this gigantic fruit can be produced other than where it grows indigenously." Taranouns! does he call the climate of equatorial Africa fruit ? For I see nothing else so far that answers to the name ay fruit; if it is fruit, shure, they cud put it in tins an' eggshport id as the Yankees do wid the payches an' the salmon, as they calls the white fish they sinds bore, wid a foit ay colorin' to pass 'crn off as the powerful leppin' fish from thfe Shannon. *** * # * * * * v But hould on: the omadhaHn ccc : " It f « disco have named ib Cucurbita Begina var esculenta.
