" Sympathy " writes complaining of tho conduct of two polioomon whom he saw on Saturday morning trying to prevent a blind musician from playing in Manners-street, where lie has boon in the habit of playing for some time. A man playing a similar instrument in Cuba-street was not interfered with.

A whistling Bnake has been discovered in New Guinea. In a late report, Sir William MacGregor, tho British Administrator, intimates that in tbo Rigo district a large number of deaths occurred early this year from snakebite. The Administrator explaint that tbo island ia infested by a small Bpecies of black snako, whioh i» very fierce. The natives declare that whenever a man gooa near one it rushes at him, uttering sounds which they describo as a whi-tle. " Shortly before 1 was at the Government Btation," writes Sir William MacGregor, "ono of these reptiles attacked the Government Agent, but it was killed before it did any harm A little while before a boy of fourteen was in the bush near the station, when ono of these snakes made a rush at him with tho nsnal peculiar whistling sound. He thought the noise emanated from somo cockatoos in a tree, and began to look for them He did not discover his mistake until be received a bite from the snake, from which he died in a little while in great agony."
