There were 2,179 acres (three applications) disposed of at the Land Board meeting to-day (Monday) on perpetual lease. The colonial steamer Hinemoa was sent to convey some fifty of the unemployed from Greymouth, and Captain Fairchild refused to enter the river. The members of the Harbour Board were apparently annoyed at this refusal to crost the bar, the Hinemoa drawing only 13ft and the bar being smooth with 28ft of water. They refused to allow the tug to take out the unemployed, of which, it is said, there are about fifty, nearly all from Brunnerton. There was a good deal of excitement on the wharf and some haranguing. A couple of the leading townsmen guaranteed to pay the men's passages to tlieir destination sooner than see the tug take the men out to the Hinemoa, considering Captain Fairchild's refusal to come in an intentional slur on the port. Numerous telegrams passed between the Harbour Board and private citizens and the Government on the matter, the result being that the Hinemoa had to be taken into the river by Captain Fairchild. Miss Ruby Kennedy who played " Little Lord Fauntleroy'' with the DobsonKennedy Company here a short time since, has recently been interviewed by a ropresentative of tho Auckland Star, and the following we extract from that paper :— i " Which of your parts do you like beat ?" asked the representative. " Oh, little Lord. Fauntleroy." « And why ?" " Well, it is so pretty," and then the little girl blushed, and admitted that she " liked boys' parts and boys too." " And why do you like boys parts ?" said the reporter. "Pockets, perhaps?" interrupted Mr Kennedy. "No," indignantly rejoined the maiden, " boys' parts are so nice, and do you know mamma says it would be so nice if we had a little boy." Mr Kennedy looked nineteen ways vfor Sunday, but the little girl, unconscious of the faux pas chatted on brightly, tolling us how her likings are not confined to boys, but also extend to dolls, of which she has a variety. The following conversation was heard on the top of a bus in London between an English and a German tailor, the former being aecretajv of a Trade Society: — Englishman : We shall doubtless carry tho Eight Hours' Bill next Parliament. German : Well, if you do, I shall work as long as I please. Englishman : But you won't be allowed. No work will be done but in Bhop or factory. German : Pooh 1 If 1 choose to do some of the work you eight hours' men leave, and you try to come and stop n»e in my house, I'll hit you on tho eye with ray poker. Sonsational reports were recently recoivod jn Brisbane in reference to developments in tlio Running River silver mino property, at Kangaroo Hills. It was stated that a largo boJy of copper, so pure as to bo malloablo, bus boon exposed in tho Iron Mount shaft with virgin silver. One portion shows virgin nilvor, apart from nativo copper. It is in the slmpo of a lilugroe work, and is distributed right through tho j lode stono. It is boliovod that tho wliolo Iron Mountain, from tho top downwurdn to un unknown depth, is wholly smoking material, and will probably prove tho richoHt find of its kind in Australia.
