A telegram to a Sydney paper says :— " At Gundagei there is a euspioion, which seems growing into a certainty, that the man Smidt, the self-onf eased Wagga murderer, is a wholesale aEsassin. The man Jacob Rick, who disappeared come six months ago, has now been almost conclusively proved to have been in company with Smidt, whilst the watch and chain found on the latter have been identified as haying belonged to Rick. 1 hen there iB the orime known as the Jillen* groe murder, committed in 1888. I haa been ascertained tbat Smidt was in the neighbourhood at the time, and the police and black trackers are hard at work examining the rooky country round Gundagai. It is not improbable that, as a result of their labours, a startling story of bloodshed will be shortly revealed." The Otago Daily Timet says :— A party of Viotorian crack shots, now in Dunedin, will proceed by next steamer to North Canterbury on a pig-shooting excursion, The leader of the party is Mr W. Stewart, of Bairnadale, Gippslaud, Victoria, eaoh of the party being provided with two rifles. They have also brought over four large kangaroo dogs and two bloodhounds. A party of Maoris .12 in all) are engaged to meet the party at Blenheim. The Messrs Roberts, of Scotland, now on a visit to Mosgiel, are to join the party. Good sport is expected. The Maoris are to beat round the cover or haunts of the animal for the marksmen, as done in Scotland. What is the real rsason (says a Horn c papet) of Fmin'e refusal to leave Afrioa?

Perhaps the and c. rtaintj that he will be bind in a yew 's lime time makes him cling to the prefer cc of the one beiug who ia actually " the Ji^ht ot hia eyef." They are in Japan a commercial people, A man came along, to ono of the railway stations, aud " camped." He arrived early in che day, and watched train after train depart. The officials took some notice of him, j>nd when tho laet train of the day was about to leave gave him warning. He said, "Is ib positively the lust, train today ?" " Positively the last,' - was the answer. " Then what reduction will yo > make if Igo by it ?" The rustic .Japanese had put in the * inning day in idling round at a depot in the hope of getting a discount on the price of his railway ticket. What economy of cash, what glorious waste of time I And yet they say that the Japanese have nothing in common with the Scots!
