The following story about the late Arch bishop of Canterbury is told by the British Weekly :—That ardent teetotaller and temperance leader was one day instructing a group of young clergymen in the practical work of house to house visitation amongst the poor. “Now, he said, after laying down various 'principles for approaching and admonishing the sick, “I will go into this inner room and lie down on the sofa. You will then come in, one by one, and address me as if I were one of [your poor sick parishioners,” The Archbishop retired into the inner room, and there was much whispering among the curates. All felt too shy to approach the stern instructor. After live minutes’ delay, the Archbishop called out, What, is no one coming ? ” Thereupon an Irish curate took his courage between his hands, and walking solemnly into the inner room, stood by the Archbishop’s couch, and bending over him. said in low, reproachful accents" “ .Frederick, Frederick, the drink again ! ” Mr Soddon said a few weeks ago that be had determined that not another penny should be sent out of New Zealand for rolling stock for our railways. We sincerely hope ho will adhere to this resolution. The railways are the property of the people, aud should be run cntirelv in their interests, not only with regard to the carrying of passengers and goods at the lowest possible rates ; but also in the matter of the employment of our own workers. New Zealanders have to find the interest on the money which has been borrowed for the railways, and, as far as possible, our own artisans should bo cm ployed in the construction of all stock and material required for their eiiieieni woiking. We believe that both the Addington Workshops and two or three private foundries within the colony are quite cap* able of turning out locomotives tully equal to the work required of them on the New Zealand railways ; and oven if they should cost a little more than the American engines, the advantage of employing our own workmen would more than justify theadditional expenditure.—Tirnaru Fost.

Tbe extreme foolishness of anybody I welshing without having a horse or bike, or motor-ear handy, has again been demonstrated nt Castlemame (\ ic.) The tvelsher departed on foot, whereby he, to all intents and purposes, [backed himself to be the swiftest runner in an event where there were about 200 entries. Of course he lost. He beat the bulk of the crowd badly, but the swiftest backer caught him up and sat on him till the slow backers arrived. It took five policemen to rescue him, and 'even then he had to part up with all the money in his possessionover £IOO. And with a £lO horse he could have got away with £9O easily.— Bui let-in. It is habitual with the present Government to ask Parliament to appropriate larger su;..s of money than they purpose expending ; it is a way they have of keeping their political creditors quiet. _ It is very much the same story as is facetiously told of a man who, having signed a promissory note, remarked, with a sjgb of relief, " Thank God, that debt is paid.”— Waikato Argus,
