LATE SHIPPING.

The Aotea has put out about 900 tons of cargo at the Gfeorge street pier. The- Janet NicoH is being overhauled at Port Chalmers, and is expected to boTecommissioned in time to sail for the-West Coast on January 3. The inclemency of the weather at Lyttelton during the palst few days has-camsed the detention of the TeSoa there, and she consequently will not arrive at Port Chalmers until Tuesday. She -will commence-on Wednesday morning to take on board frozen produce for London. The Westland had taken on board about 1,800 bales of wool up to this afternoon. Captain Samuels expects to bo able to load about 6,300 bates this trip. It is expected that the Westland will get away about the 20th of January. The Moana arrives at Port Chalmers on Tuesday morning, and steams up to town about mid-day. She sails for Sydney via the North on Thursday. The Union ■Company's offices will be closed from this afternoon until Thursday morning. The Hawea leaves Port Chalmers on Wednesday next, and proceeds to the Bluff to load there on Thursday for Auckland via Oamaru and Timara. The Corinna is expected to arrive from the West Coast about mid-day on Monday. She will run an excursion to Oamara on Tuesday, and' sail on her return in the ervening for Greymouth direct. The Invercargill arrived this afternoon from Invercargill via Coiac Bay, and proceeded to the Port lb load transhipments from the Aotea. The Rimu sails on her return from the Wednesday excursion for the Bluff and the Campbell Islands. The Enterprise, which sailed from Port Chalmers at five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, arrived at Timaru at three o'clock yesterday, after a quick passage of nineteen hours. She proceeds' from the latter port to Wanganui, where she loads iron for Dunedin. The Westland shipped four hands in Wellington for the trip to Dunedin, and the act of these men in signing on for £7 for the journey was disapproved of by a number of unemployed seamen, who stuck out for £8 for the trip. A free fight was beginning when the four men emerged from the shipping office, and they would have been severely maltreated if the police had not put in a timely appearance. Captain Samuels estimates that fully a hundred men were, concerned. One oiE the new hands, a colored man, was struck on the jaw with a billet of wood. Three or four hands have been shipped by the Westland in Dunedin.

It is the Swiss waiter ("declares th e • Boston Home Journal') that goes all over the world, and generally does well. Half the waiters put down as Germans are Swiss The fact is this t the German Swiss and the Italian £ives them an advantage over the Frenchman, who is only born to one. And the Swiss waiter is generally a good business man, who has the makings of a restaurant keeper or a hotel proprietor also born in him.
