The death is recorded of a wellknown vesident of Raetihi in the perspn of Mr Augustus Alfred Dauphin, aged sixty-seven. Mr Dauphin w.n bom at Lyons (Franco) in 1847,..and served his country in the Franco-Pru*

siaai war, and also with the garrison abroad for tuany years. About thirtj years ago he settled in New Zen.-

land. _He lived at Eketaliuna and in the Wairarapa, and went to R aetihi s about fifteen rears ago. He was a member of the Waimarino County i Council from its initiation, and of the Raetihi Town Board. J Says the " Bulletin " :--Archdeacon I Calder, of Auckland, dropped in on 8 Sydney the other day. He is one "? of those rare pilots who make uncom- i fortable remarks about hypocrites and ' other rascals that he can pee fromllifi -K pulpit. He continually hurfe" squirmproducing eloquence in the direct-ou of those people who go to church on Simday in order to be able to oppress, with a relieved conscience, the widow and the orphan for the rest- of the week. One of the Archdeacon's partioular objects of scorn is the stout owner of slum dwellings who attends church in a high -i hat and a smug countenance.. and he recently intimated that there were oc casions when homicide was justifiable. In short Calder is a man who-is occa- ■ sionally mistaken for a clergyman— - much to the credit of the clergy.

Tell Lawson" (son o{ the chief proprietor of the "D.T.''). The editorial" staff got its collective S brain to work, turned up the "gos-B Pel," for Whit Sunday and "Peace I leave with you. My peace give unto you." Chi that and the priynto message it was decided to chance 9 it, with the result tliat the " Tele- "V graph ' w- as the first to announce that 3 teyiis of peace had been arrived at. M
