A number of special • correspondents (says the Lyttelton Times), whose duties in the. Press gallery.' hav.e come to* a sudden pause, owing to ; the- semi-recess in> sisted on by Major Atkinson, have been made happy by the .issue to them of free passes on -the railways, and- are now starring in' th 9 Provinces, as what in theatrical parlance are known as " deadheadß." They wilLprobably make better nse of them than' many others of the gentlemen who travel about the Colony for nothing ; but we do congratulate them on the accession to power of a Ministry which, having acquired a reputation and a name for drastic and thorough-going retrenchment before-hand, can . venture to treat its friends to a few cheap cakes and a little harmless ale. ' The late Ministry would never have ventured on so shocking a. piece, of reckless -extravagance. ■ They would have, bad all the retrenchment fanatics in the House down on them at once. - t Recent letters from Home, says a con : temporary, indicate that' there will be a market for New Zealand cheese there this season if the cheese arrives in good condition. It appears that the English cheese this year is not up to the- mark, and American cheese has risen in value till it is worth from 58s to 61s. Ono merchant, whose letter we have seen," states that what New Zealand cheese has been placed on the London market has been reported on as of fine quality, but strong, in flavour through having been heated. Had the cheese arrived in good,, condition tho character of the article would have caused it to realise lop prices. The local Dairy Factory Company have shipped by the Huia 15 .tons to be sent Hom9 by the Aorangi, in such a way as should ensure its reaching its destination ia good condition. We are a wonderful people. Some hundreds of years ago our kings amused themselves yith hawking, ; and a. Master of . the Hawks was the most important official connected with the' royal amusements.' But for two hundred years or more, hunting by hawks has fallen into disuse. Not bo the salary. We have gone on paying it. Since the time of James 11. we have paid over a quarter of a million as remuneration to the Maßter of: non-existent Hawks. No wonder that we have poverty, and that people groan under theirburdens. This little incident of the hawks is the etory in brief of all our brief landed aristocracy. -]ff feudal days the barons worked i for their living, bat ever since the decay of thft feudal Byatem it 'has been the same old story of ever-lessening work and everincreasing pay. (Mamma) : " What makes you look so cross to-day, Jeannie ?" (Jeannie) : (( Whj f , Lizzie Goodfit has had a costume made at F. A. Ford's, aad it fits her so beautifully that oven my Tom noticed, it and said': ' What a good figure Miss Goodfit's is,' and you know it is only the dress that makes her. (Mamma) :. "Never mind, dear, we will have both our dresses made at F. A. Ford's, for he' is very reasonable,, Ws. for cotton and 12s for stuff dresses." (Jeannie) : Smiling, "Oh thanks, mamma, but we must. go soon, for Miss Prycr told me tbat they* are busy already (started at once.) — Advt. ' It ought to be in every home. Crook's American Dried Yeast has only to be tried to have its first-class value appreciated. Do not fail to ask yonr grocer for it. — R.
