Mr George William Curtis, in a pleasant retrospective essay, local Is the songsters who were contemporary with the Swedish Nightingale. There was the good-natured, immense, elolicious-voieed Alboni, and tho queon of the Italian opera, Grisi; nor was tile great Pasta yet gone. In tho midst of the Jenny Lind enthusiasm Pasta sang at a London concert for the benefit of her pupil P.irodi, and Mazzini watched her from the stage-box, while Jerome'Buonoparto was there, looking wonderfully like his uncle. At the same timo Dtiprez, the veteran of tenors, was exposing iv Pavis the ruins of his splendid voice; and at the "Itallms"

you could hear, besides Grisi and Mario, and in*the same opera with them, Porsiani and Lablache—the.most wonderful musical quartette.the world has seen.. Rachel, too, was still on tho stage, while Meyerbeer was busy composing, the older Strauss leading his orchestra, and Mendelssohn was being buried in his prime.

On the Clyde over 60,000 ton 9of shipping liad been booked ou December 3, and tliere wa.s a confident expectation that sonic important additional orders would be obtained before tho closo of the year. In tho northeast of England also, on tho Tyne and tlie Wear and the Tees, tbo winter would be entered upon with much brighter prospects than was tho case last year. Tho Palmer Iron and Shipbuilding Company (Limited), at Barrow, hael somo large contracts on hand, which were expected to give a fair amount of emplonnent to the population of

Barrow during the winter. The upward tendency of freights, especially on- outward voyages, hud no doubt stimulated the recent orders for new shippinir, and what was rather remarkable was the scarcity of

sailing tonnage which is now experienced at some ports. The prospect of an increased business in shipbuilding had its influence on iron and steel markets, and prices had advanced slightly.

Writing fo tho Farmers' Co-operative Journal, unring the formation of a company to sell New Zcalnnd meat to consumers at Home, Mr C. G.

Surely this is encouragement enough to any company."

A caso that should be of considerable interest to contractors and employes was heard at the Ashburton Magistrate's Court (says the Press). Mr Wm. Sutherland, a farmer and contractor, brought an action against a farm servant named Epsoy, clnim-ing.-Cl in lieu of a week's notice "to leave Sutherland's employment not having been given, and £3 for special damages through a team of horses being idle. Epsoy had been in Sutherland's employment at £1 per week. He desired to leave without notice, but Sutherland objected, and demanded that his servant should give a week's notice, but afterwards finding that he could fill Epsey's plnce he told the latter ho might leave if he so wished. Epsey changed his mind, and said he would stop and finish out the week. A couple of days afterwards, however, ho left Sutherland's employ ment, and tho latter bad to keep one of his teams idle for a week until he uot another man. Mr John Olliver gave judgment for Sutherland for £3 and costs.

Under the heading-, "New Zealanders Entrapped," tho Sydney Daily Telegraph has the following:—A meeting' of tlie socalled old Noi\- Zealanders was convened by Mr Morgan Mortis, at the old City Club, Pitt-street Thero was a fair attendance. The ostensible object of the mooting was ; for the purpose of bringing together for friendly converse the Now Zoalauders in Sydney. However, the room was crammed with a Protectionist gathering-, and not many New Zealanders wero in attendance. Those who did attend wero of the opinion that the' meeting was called relative to Heara, tlie New Zealand sculler, who is in Sydney. Mr Morris made everybody understand that the mooting was called in tho interests of Protection, but when ho was asked to show proof of such an assertion he was helpless. It tyas stated that Mr Morris did not make it known what was the true object of the meeting, A secret understanding appears to have been concluded between himself, a New Zealand protectionist, aud tho Protection League of Sydney, and the presence of Mr Walker (a New Zealander'r), proves this fact. Tho seauty number of New Zealanders present were heartily disgusted at what was really a despicable manner of conducting a "Social Reunion." A Nqw Zeulander said that tho geutlcman who called the meeting had no right to call it. in the interests of protection. He know nothing of this when ho entered the room. Heunderstood that it was to be a social reunion, i Ho protested against this " c itch-penny of protection" to "collar" every unsuspecting- New Zealander who came into tho room.

Tho following: letter was rcocutly received by tho House Physicians at ono of the largest London hospitals : —" Sirs Haveing seen by Newspaper that a great many People are suffering- from fever, and I am utuh-r tho impression i hat a very safe remedy in curing of the above Typhoid fever is in the undermentioned Ik-incdy tako two Shoeps Milts new split open well Pepper and salt thoiu tve them to soles of feet of Patient stilt Part Nearest feet keep them up for the space of i hours aud I am sure it will cure force of any kind for haveing tried the same I can speak with confidence has every cn>e 1 have tried it has cured tho same." Then follow thi name and address of the writer of the letter, wliieh have every appearance of being genuine. The mixture ol kindly thought and lamentable ignorance displayed iv this nineteenth century is pathetic.

The following story told of Mrs Chisholm who fuuudoel tho '• Female Emigrants' Home " in Adelaide- Ims in it something oi' tile pathetic. Sho was travelling in tinbush with a party of emigrants, when she heard someone shouting to her "Stop! stop !" Looking loimd she .saw a stout, rough husbandman lushing on, who saluted her and said, -'Arc you Mrs Chisholm ':" " Yos ; what do you want?" •'Wantwant—why, what every miin like me wants when he sees Mrs Chisholm. Come now, do look up that hill and sec that nice cottage and 10 acres, under crop. The land is paid lor, and the three cows—oh, it would do you good to sco the cows." Then pulling- out a, rqll of paper**, he continued, " See what a character 1 have' got from the magistrate., in charge of the district, and look here, ma'am, at this roll of note... Como now, Mrs Chisholm, do be a mother to ni"), and give mo a wife ; the smile of a woman has never wclconiod mo homo after a hard day's work. You'll havo pity on me. You don't mean to saj- no ; you'll never bo so cruel as to say no. It makes a man's heart light to look at your camp. Now, you don't mean to say yon have not got a nice girl from Tipperarv. What peace of mind," the Irishman added, irresistibly, " would it give you to know that , I would make a kind husband to one of your Tipperary girls."
