CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
Sir,- — A friend in Wellington occasionally sends me a copy of the JYew Zealand Times'. The last I have received bears date the 12th June, and it has occasioned me no little wonderment, I can tell you. Scanning through it, I came across a subleader the first two sentences of which had a remarkably familiar sound to me. " Dear ! clear !" I exclaimed, "why this is the Napier Daily Tdegruphovev&gaxa. ; how can it be I" The sentences ran thus : "We are in receipt of a copy of the new Native Lands Bill. A Northern contemporary which received a copy before we did, gives the following synopsis of the Bill." Yes, sure enough, there in the Teleyrap/i of June 14th I found tho identical sentences, word for word, printed as the Telegraph* leading article. How could such a thing be I Can you relieve my puzzled mind, Mr Editor .'—Yours, eve, A. B.C.
