GISBORNE TWADDLE.

''' .People here are very anxious to. -learn vrlio is tlio correspondent of the Ohskiivku... The truths | ' I have' given, .ventilation to of lato arc not' 1 palatable to a few members of a certain " ring," •who have loosed their -wheezy old' bulldog, the < ( 80-cailed ! editor of a wretched little rag, which , .reaches tho. bulk of its readers as a wrapper for luultQii; chops and sausages. The miserable creature how rears itself on its gainey hind legs, and howls alul^ whines., pitoously against any exposes about cheques, {spurious aristocracy, and such like, as tending to ruin tlieir credit, &c. Poor fellow! lie must earn his bone. But the 'fetched lour has 'actually 'raised a howl against scurrility? Verily, it is tho most barefaced instance on record of the devil reproving sin. Nothing ever published in the Obseuvkh has been a patch upon the manner in which the animal barked at T uthe heels of Mr C. A. DeLatour, Mr Rees, Captain Tucker, and every one connected with or interested in t the New Zealand Native Lands Company. ' However, tho Observer got a very cheap Advertisement on Friday,, tho sth instant. Now, "if the other rag's 'circulation wore large, there would ho something to feel thankful for, and a few extra : -. subscriber's to the Ohskrver might be the result. ■As matters 'stand, "the proprietors of this Socioty sheet can only say " thank you, for nothing I" Th,e cur has actually been breaking the-- laws, of the country -by running about without a and howling and barking in a manner, which in any other civilised communities would result in its speedy hanging. Wo want your Mr Goldie down here. Something must bo done to form an excuse to/draw that ten pounds of bones, (cheque) weekly. When that supply- ceases,,. the poor toothless cur Trill have to have recourae to some new operation in order to wag its jaws. [We have a little rod of our own in pickle for tho cur, but it can remain till next week. . There is a pressure on our space at present in the form of more valuablo matter. Ed. Obs.] Humphrios and Brown have just been indulging in a little squabble over hanging the new fireboll. It is. the old, old story of " two of a trade." Hammer and tongs havo boon at "work. Why wore 1 not tenders called to supply that bell ? Kissing nover goes by favour in our • l&rotigh Council. Who hung the bell ? "I," said Councillor - Brown ; " I am a millwright by. trade. I enjoy some renown in fair Gisborne town, and <iJUave a seat at the Board" The town stinks • Tvith- bankrupts and insolvents. They are to tho Tight ..and the left, of you, like the Russians in •Tennyson's ," Charge of the Light. Brigade" "We havo a beauty in Gisborne who, it is said, will : vie for loveliness with the " Jersey Lily." This Primrose has been at Osb^rno House Rather pheasant; company occasionally at Mrs B.',s musical ' I ''parJies'. i ...~Whd are those young ladies whose -tittering in clmrcli' lias made the carriago-builclei" contemplate taking a. sittings a, little higher up ?... .•.'."Did. any 'of %lie' private^ lodginghouse-kecpers purolia's'e'fehiqkon-pie; or 'c>>ld roast beef from >' fW6ißflg^e 'ifjihkjantß feniaitHng after the Hospital sii-eet.s, : (ftgent-rinpad vance fof I the Circus. ,■;.. lf is arnnsing to. listen Vtp'liis?' friends

[Mr K. C. Morgan Morris, editor Poverty Bay Herald, and Mr H, J. Brown, a reporter on the same paper, send .us letters for publication in which they desire to notify to all and sundry that they are' not the Ghsborne oorrrespondenfc of the OuSEHVEB. How the idea got. abroad that either of tnem ever occupied that highly respectable and influential position is utterly beyond our comprehension, but if we were to hazard a guess, we should say it. was a cunning device of the enemy, a/persori who left Auckland with a very shady reputation, and, from all accounts,, does not seem to have improved it in his new spjiere of operations.' For liis' information, as well as th'iit of others who are on a falae scent, we may say Lhut our • (risborne correspondent is at/ present unconnected with any newspaper except the Ouskryjer. There must have beeu something' pw.-uliarly pungent, in. our correspondent's contributions to have caused such a shaking among the dry bones of cfisborne. — ILv. 0«3.]

Wicked fok Glekuymkn.— " I bolievo it to lie all wrong, and even wicked, for clur^ymeu ov otlu-r public men to be Id in ho irivinq- testimonj.tla to (prick doctors or vilo stnirss called umrhcir^.s, but when a really meritorious article is mudo up of common v:i!nn,l)le Teine'lies known to till, suul t-lnst till physicians us'; fincl rrust iv daily, we should i'rooly co;nLuen<l ir. I therefore cheerfully nnd heartily commend Hop Bilhjrs for the good tbeyhsive rlonts mo mid my friends, iirnily believing they have no oqiuil for family une. I will nut be without them."— h'ev. — — , Washington, D.C. Jlerul. When walking dov/n Quoou-strcct, the wayfarer Cannot fail to-be struck by the beautifully uriisUc arrangement of the jioods displayed in the cleverly fashioned now windows of the (.'slabhslmient of Messrs. W\ Vaile and Co. The frontage was not lur^eor showy, and yet Mr Vaile bus succeeded in making 1 a lot of a little, showing what genius and taste can effect. The display of new ;md fashionable y;oo<la is really ;i tti-nctivo, and the most fastidious cinnot; fail to find their wants suited by the obliging proprietor and Li 3 able stuff.
