SCOTCH HUMOUR.
There is a profound gravity about Dunedin , Svuinour which is positively funereal. For • -example, the editor of the Dunedin Evening Star has about as much conception of humour as a sb-earse-hovse, or the sculptured representation, of death on a swell tombstone. The Star has a " special correspondent" at Wellington, who every day enlightens the readers of that paper with the doings of Parliament. Gruaging their mental calibre accurately, he regales them with such cheerful literary pabulum as long statistical returns, as chockful of figures as an average Dunedin man is of whisky. This precious stuff is labelled by the Star paste-and-scissors man "Parliamentary Gossip." Why don't they get d-reensbields to do their Parliamentary gossip ? — — ♦ , —
