"Shall we take a 'bus in Kegent Street, Margaret V said a young 1 London gent, who was showing his country cousin the wonders of the metropolis. " 0 dear, no I" said the frightened girl, " I would not do that in the street." Tiie Meat Pbocess. — In Queensland, the Hon. F. E. Bigge has brought in a bill into the Legislative Coiincil that " 10,000 acres of land shall be granted to any man or company who can place 100 tons of uncooked and imsalted Queensland meat in the English market in good edible condition*." Now, sir, this is legislating in the proper direction ; not wasting time in bandying hard words over barren iron-bark ridges, nor auriferous quartz reefs and homestead clauses. 10,000 acres aro worth trying for, and science will achieve a great victory on the day when 100 tons of uncooked, unsal ted Australian meat are placed in the English xnai'ket. Well will the winner deserve his 10,000 acres, and the first promoters of this scheme deserve well of their country.— Letter in Australasian.
