Tun Sticking -w Cask at Bifton Hill- - Last night Mounted Constable Dew had not returned from Birch 11m, whither he had gone to make enquiries into the reported case of sticking-up a boundary rider. The general impression is that the act. was one of bravado. A boundary rider in New Zealand, generally speaking,' if* called upon fo “ stand and deliver” would have precious little to “deliver,” beyond a pipe, tobacco and matches, and any modern Jack Shepherd would scarcely consider the game worth the e/iudle.

Queensland and the Chinese.— Sir Samuel GriHith, Premier of Queensland, speaking rec/mtly at a banquet in his honour at Brisbane, said the greatest encouragement was given by South Au-tra- ! lia to the introduction of Chinese at I ort: Darwin. Thev would: not be long able to j earn a living at Port Darwin, and then they wouid uat iraliv cm grate t • Queensland. If SGO Cnincsc came, the Govercinent could only imprison them by chaining them to trees and logs, and wo old eventually have to let t.icui go , therefore it was a subject on which all colonies should unite. The Minister of Mines intended to deal with one. of r the principal attractions which now induced Chinese to come to Queensland. Mr Hodgkinson, Minister for Mines, said lie meant to do his best to stamp out the influx of Chinese by refusing to issue minor’s rights to Asiatic aliens. It would involve no interference with international rights, but if it did he would take the risk. They had their own interests to look to first, and the national rights of the Chinese after wards.

Fall oe tiie Bustle. —You ask me if the lmmp on the hack of dresses has really totally disappeared. Well, dear, not quite. But lam thankful to say that it is fast diminishing, and will soon completely vanish. There are no more steels in the best-made dresses. If you want to be in the very height of the mode take out all your steels, though you must remember to tie back your dresses j ust as though the steels were still in them. Wear one of the very smallest cushions of branded wire that you can get, and then you may indulge in the proud assurance that your appearance is correct. The middle class girls uro still wearing steels and huge cushions at the back. So do all the third-rate people, and, wliat is more, they would laugh us to scorn if we were to tell thorn that tlio protuberance caused, by these very uncomfortable devices is no longer fashionable. The sort of person who loves exaggeration iu dross always clings fondly to absurdities and ecccntrinities, seeing in them their only chance to be what they call “stylish.” Do not forget when you are taking out your steels that you must shorten your dress at least a couple of inches at the back, as the steels take it up as much as that.— Truth.

The Exportation or BurrEß.—o'ir dairy farmers (says the Press) will learn with pleasure that a new method has been introduced for the carriage of butter to England. When in Auckland Mr &• G. Stead obtained a sample box to hold butter, and he has it now at his plape of business, where it may be inspected. It is enamelled, fitted with shelves, and was made by Messrs J. A. Pond, of Auckland, the enamelling- being done to prevent the contact of the butter with the wood. Tho box will hold about dOlb of butter, which is frozen in lib pats, and delivered in just tho same style as it is purchased m the market here. The new metfiod does away with i;l|0 phju now in vogue of sending'tho butter home iu bulk, and it is claimed that it always does away with the risk of tho shipment turning out bad, as sometimes happens in the latter case. Such a mean-, for the conveyance of butter has been much needed. If the experiment should prove successful, as it promises to do, and this New Zealand commodity eau be placed iu the Home market as fresh as \yhei} it leaves the dairy, another’ good line will be opened for the benefit of our farmers.'

New Zealand's Champion Scolder.— A letter received from Mr Chnpnins, who accompanied Hearn to Sydney, coin plains greatly of tfie effects pf the climate. When they arrived gt Q raftoi} tfie vycather was scorching, 108 in the shade, but then a heavy fall of raiu set in, and it rained for several days, the temperature being cooler, but still very hot. The heat severely injured the now boat which was built here, twisting her stern into all sorts of shapes and causing her to drag fiightfully, putting Hearn’s chance of winning otit cf the cuiestjon. Mr Cummins adds, “Vitl'i regard to fliQ Wfi:e itsifif ho hold, his own trftho first quarter qi a nple. At tho half, Nelson led him by half a length, and at the mile and a quarter ho was about four lengths behind, but the pace at this point told on the two leaders, for Nelson shot up and allowed Hearn to draw level. The excitement then was very great. Everyone on the steamers shouting to Hearn to go ahead and win, but the handicap lie had hr the boat was too much ’for him, although he pulled cramoly to the finish. ’ If hehadbeen in a better boat,' lib' could not have helped winning.
