TUAPEKA BROWN IN TROUBLE.

JOKE ON A MEMBER. A GOOD joke at the expense of Mr J. 0. Brown, member for Taapeka, is being told in the lobbies, B(is'« a Wellington correspondent. Mr Brown, it appears, was about eleven days lata in arriving on the scene of bis legislative duties. In tbe meantime, the permanent artillery sentries on duty inside tbe main entrance to the House had carefully studied the faces of hon. members, and could at onco recognise who were entitled to proceed into tho lobbies or stand about the precinote, as the case might be. Mr Brown's faco was therefore strange to the sentries, and it happened on a day after his arrival he entered the House in thoughtful mood and stood for some time in the entrance of the passage wny in blissful ignorance of the fact that he was being eyed with grave suspioioa by the sentinel on duty tbere, a man of colossal proportions. Presently this sentry informed Mr Brown that strangers were not allowed to hang around the precincts of the House, and that bia room wonld be better than his company. Mr Biown visibly swelled with indignation as he told the sentry h« was <i member. The sentry regarded this statement as an unworthy subterfuge, and a regular " try on," and he presently impressed upon Mr Brown that it " wouldn't wash." Just as Mr Brown was about to be ejected from the building, still in appealing accents maintaining that he was a legislator, a well known whip appeared on the scene, aud to him cried Mr Brown for identification, but the whip took in the situation at a glance, and in reply to the "I say, yon know me, don't you ? I'm a member ain't I ?" of tbe member for Tuapeka, said, " Never saw yoa before in my life." Brown was then indeed in imminent peril of serious consequences, but the whip's heart softened at the sigh of his manifest distreei, and he let the necessary light on the position, but he said to Mr Brown, " If you don't attend more regularly to your Parliamentary duties, how can you expect to be treated otherwise than as a stranger ?"
