The Wellington Evening Post says: -Con- | siderable indignation is felt in |the Poverty j Bay district at a lot of South Island unem- ! ployed being sent up to Nuhaka to do road work. There are plenty of unemployed in and around Gisborne looking in vain for work. A large batch of the Southern unem- , ployed passed through Wellington on Saturday on the Waihora, en route for Gisborne. , They were under the charge of a man named James Scott, whose chief if not only recom- I mendation for the position of Inspector of Works is that he was a very active supporter of the Hon John McKenzie at the last general election. He was formerly a boardinghousekeeper at Palmerston South, and latterly a small farmer near Timaru. If he has ever had any experience in road-making it must have been many years ago. We suppose, however, that the appointment affords another small instance of " the spoils to the victors.' A Dalziel's telegram from Hieres to a London paper says t— - " Thte Chateau of St. Pierre des Horts here was attacked the ' other Monday night by a band of Italian brigands, who attempted to take the place by storm by scaling the walls. The chateau, which stands in the valley of Costeville, iust below the H&tel Hermitage, where Her Majesty the Queen stayed three years ago, is one of the most curious places in the South of France, and it has had a very remarkable history. It was built by the tutor of the last of the Kings of France, who intended to found there a country family, but his son found himself in difficulties), and the building was mortgaged to the Compagnie Foncieve de France, and by a strange irony of late the grandson of the builder was installed there as caretaker. In all appearance the chateau is like an old Norman castle, with thick loopholed walls, behind which the three or four persons in charge of the structure were able to resist the brigands, and to alarm the gendarmes, who, assisted by the inhabitants, routed the marauders.
