Frozen Meat Trade.
We have received from the National Mortgage and Agency Company, Limited, the following summary ot frozen meat exported from New Zealand for the six months ending 31st December, 1896 :
Musk in a crude state is worth L 8 ati ounce. It looks like axle-greese and smells worse. A story is going the round in Canada to the effect that a prominent politician, whilst afc a church tea meeting, objected to the references made by the clergyman to politicians, and that trouble consequently ensued. Another and a much more graphic story, of tne same description, is published in a Nova Scotia newspaper. It states that at a recent meeting in Truro, Nova Scotia, a good Liberal (or Grits as they are called locally), prayed that God would cause the Grib party to hang together, whereupon a pious Tory present shouted " Amen." This led the Grit brother to make the following amendment to his prayer : " Not, Lord, in the sense that our Tory brother means, but in the spirit of accord and concord." "Any cord will do, Lord, any cord will do," interpose the Tory. The pastor immediately made a rule that hereafter politics should be kepb out of prayer meetings.
