Two young women, Misses 'Rhodes, of Lavors Hill, near tJolac, Victoria, attended a ball recently, and on returning home they lost their way m the bush. For four days and nights they wandered, and could not find -a track. r J*hey were found [ m a very distressed condition. Raisuli, the most audacious brigand o-f modern times, who held Kaid MacI lean to ransom, is m serious danger of I bcing^ captured himself. He may elude the Sultan's soldiers, but an up-to-date music-hall agent, determined to secure his exclusive services for a performance unique on this or any-.otKer stngej is not so easily baffled. Mr Trussell, manager of the London Hippodrome, has gone out into the wilds of Morocco to negotiate with Raisuli and bring him back m triumph to Londion. It is. perhaps, the most adventurous trip that j a stage agent lms ever undertaken. Speaking to a press representative before his departure, Mr Trussell, explained that no communication had as jyet taken place between Raisuli and the Hippodrome authorities. They had tried by cable and letters, through, both official and private channels, to get into communication with the chief ; but so far nobody had been found who would undertake the journey to his place up country. ' "But," added Mr Trussell, " I think. I can' get him. I am armed with letters of introduction to Raisuli from all; the principal officials and tradespeople m Morocco, m addition to which I am taking- with me Hadj Abdullah, one of Raisuli's fellowcountrymen. The chief difficulty will be to get over Raisuli's nervous and suspicious nature and to convince him of our bona-fides." The chief danger, however, seems to be that Raisuli may capture his visitor and then make his own terms for appearing at the Hippodrome.

A corresiiondent of the Hawera and Normanby Star writes: "It has often been stated, but from, what authority is not certain, that a. flask,; of whisky was some years ago left on the top of, Ruape.hu by some visiting geologist. ' Thei statement lias found truth by the discovery of the flask, which took place last week, the tinder being Mr R. Williamson, relieving teacher/of the Makptukn school, Raetihi. With the, party also was Mr H. Girdelstone, who has pz-e---viously visited the mountain, and is well, acquainted with the The party; came across the flask on the summit of the craggy peak' at the southern end, which is such a prominent-feature of the mountain's configuration. The ; felt enclosing the flask was mostly rotted away, and the whisky, though, intact, had turned almost black, probably by the corrosion of the inside of the flask, which is a large enamelled bottle-shaped one, similar to those used m the militia. It has also been stated! that a sovereign was left with the whisky, but no trace of the coin was found. The flask. will, doubtless, be regarded by the possessor as an interesting memento of mountaineering. There were also found on the sides, of the mountain the- bones of six horses, which had evidently taken shelter from the snow among some shelving rocks, high up m the mountain. It, would appear,, however, the animals, probably brumbys, perished from the terrible cold. RHEUMO CURES A WELL-KNOWN PATEA RESIDENT.
