We wonder whethor tho attention of Ministers has been called to a caso heard in tho Rangitikei Stipendiary Magistrate's Courtjrecontly, in which a man describing himself as a Justice of tho Peace and cooporativa workman, wa3 plaintiff? Tho case was one of obscene language, and after some very hard swearing on one sido or the othor, it was dismissed with costs. The original d'sputo arose over payment of some olection expenses, plaintiff having apparently acted a 9 an active agent for Mr. Stevens, M.H. X.., at Ohingaiti, at the time of general eleotion. The evidence given in tho case is worth porusal. Tho weekly meeting of tha Benevolent Trustees was held this afternoon. There woro present — Rev. H. Van Staveren (Chairman), Messrs. T. W. M'Konzio, R. C. Kirk, C. K. Willoston, and R. Mothes. The action of tho Chairman in sending a man to Napier was approved. 'Iho Chairman reported that a woman who i 3 receiving rations for herself and bey children had oomplained of the quality of the veal and mutton supplied to her. Ho had examined the meat, and would not have had tho slightest hesitation in placing it on his own tablo. Ho consideied it was positively disgusting to find people making such unfounded complaints. An application from Mr. J. M' I ellan, Hon. I reasurer of the Queen's Drive Fund, for another advance of .£SOO, was granted. It was decided to send back to Greytown an old man, unless the Greytown Borough Connoi.l sent the money required for hia maintenance in the Ohiro-road Home. Mr. A. Solomon, of tho Dunedin Charitable Aid Board, will represent, the Wellington Benevolent Trustees at the Charity Conference in Dnnedin next January. In Chambers this morning an order was made, on the application of Mr. Gully, for tho trial boforo v Judge alone of the divorce suit of Moore v. Moore and another, husband's petition, at the next sitting of the Divorce Court. A man named John M'Coinbe, with various aliases, was arrosted by Detpotivo Campbell tbis afternoon on charges of having forged aoveral cheques at Dunedin, Oamaru, and Ashbnrton. Tho receipt of the printed annual report of the Wellington Boys' Institute reminds us of the extent of tho gronnd covered by tho institution. Its branches include the Boys' Brigade^ Brass Band, Ambulance Corps, Night school (arithmetic, spelling, &c), Gymnastic Class, Lending Library, Reading - room, Savings Bank, Cricket, Rowing, and Indoor Games (chess, draughts, rope quoits, Ac ), besides a Mission School every founday evening. A class for instruction in carpentry and wood- carving will bo established in connection with the Teohnical School, if inducement is offered. Only teachorß in the service of the Board of Education will bo enrolled. Mr. Barrett, of the Technical School, will bo tho instructor, and a fco of -£1 la per quartor will bo charged. Tho maximum rate for the carriage of butter and cheeso from any station on tho Napier-Taranaki section to Wellington in lots of 4 tons and upwards, has beon reduced by tho Railway Commissioners from 48s to 40s per ton — a concession of about 3d per rox. A substantial fine, which should have the effect of putting a atop to fnrther flowerstcaling from the cemetery, was imposed by Mr. Mai tin, S.M , in tho Magistrate's Court ;hia afternoon. The defendant, a Mrs. Mary Harris, had been deteoted by the assistant caretaker, Mr. George White, picking flowers (and in one instance pulling up a plant) from different graves. She admitted the offence, and was fined £5, hip Worship remarking that he was determined to put a atop to the practico, and the penalty which bo had fixed was only a quarter of the amount which the Legislature had prescribed might be imposed. Defendant said she could not pay the amount at once, aa she was living apart from her husband and had two children to support, and hia Worabip said ho would allow her to mako payments of 5s a week.

Speaking of Mrs. Annie Bosant's first appearanoo in Australia at tho Bijou Theatre, Melbourne, the Ago says : — " Mrs. besont depends ou her eloquonce enfiroly for her effects, and it is no exaggeration to say that never has any Melbourne audience been so deeply moved or so engroasingly interested by shoer force of oratory as that which srathorod at the Bijou Theatre last nighc. Her lecture, judged from an oratorical point of yiow, was a fine effort. Her silverytoned voice was hoard with tho greatest distinctness in overy part of the theatre, each word being enunciated with tho finest elooutionary exactness, and each sentenco flowing from her lips without the least hesitation, and m perfect form, both as regards oadenco and grammatical accuracy. For an hom 1 and a quarter sho held the attention of her audience with an unerasing flow of beautiful language without referring to written notes, or failing to convey her moaning to the audience with absolute clearness." The ladies of Wellington aro earnestly requested to call and inspect the lovely mantles, capes, visited, and millinory now open at C. Smith's, the Cash Draper, Cubastreet. Duting the 16 years he has been in bnsinoss he has not previously boen able to show anything like the variety, style, and value that ho is showing this soason. Both mantles, jackets, and millinery are extremely moderato in price All are invited to inepeot the goods without being pressed to buy. — Advt For continuation o) reaaing matter see jourth
