SATURDAY'S " STAR."

In this Saturday's " Star " the historian takes vp # again the thread of his story of the raid of the Peninsula by Rauparaha the Ravager, and^his admirable relation of the narrative is one of the features of the diay's issue. As October 31 is Hallowe'en, a festival observed with enthusiasm in Scotland and by Scottish people abroad, some account of the festival and the mode of its observance is given in a specially written article. In the fiction pages Frank Barrett's novel, " The Honorable Miss Judas," is continued, with other teles, and among the sketches , will he found " Cities Built While You Wait," " Ananias the Second," "When Sailors Sham Shipwreck," "The Battle, of the Gate Pa"," " Atlantic Speed," and others. The columns for ladies' reading are unusually interesting!, and comprise a tale entitled "The Price of a. Conquest,'' *' Fad's That Sever Loving Hearts — Personal Peculiarities which Break Engagements"; " Concerning ''lllnessr-<Nurse and Patient"; "Napoleon's Niece — Princess Mathilde Bonaparte " ; " How to Improve the Hair — Home Treatment." All the other departments of the special issue are kept up to their usual high standard I—a1 — a standard which has well earned the popularity that the Saturday issue of the "Star" has so long enjoyed.
