" Can yon ace mnt for it, sir ?" he asked, turning to Foote, the comedian. " Well, not very clearly," he responded, " unless we suppose it was built by contract." It was at the close of the weddingbreakfast. One of the guests aiose, and, glnaa in hand, said, " I diink to the health of the bridegroom. May he sue many days like this !" The intention was good ; but the bride looked as if something had displeased her. High Praisb.— Applause from the gallery. Tub best thing in bonnets continues to be as in the past— a pretty face. The fashion of arranging the hair quite on the top of the head is gaining favour, and to many heads and youthful faces is most becoming. Some of the fanciful large hats, copied from old pictures, are made for this style of coiffure. Other hats and bonnets are made so short at the back an to necessitate a good show^ ot hair. Good sued haitpins in toitoi&cshell, with the tops encrusted with s»p«n kling paste, are fastened into these plaits and coils. Combs especially of cut steel, are again to be seen. Many ladies ariangc their plait of hair lound the top of the head from the sides., just where the fringe of hair commences. Narrow bauds of velvet, cut steel, or peailo aio worn over the head in the e\ enmg, and, for very full dress, a tuft of feathers rather to one aide : but the fashion of wearing but little in the hair still continues, except in the case of diamonds, when they aie exhibited in the shape of spiays, stars, and pins.— The Queen. Fiftekn yeais a»o Maggie Summer field, a very pi etty mil, was^ connected with Mrs Diew's Aich r-toeot Theatic as a ballet dancer, as w as her sister. Both gained great lcputations as danceis, and were known m all parts, of the countiy. Maggie SuinmeifUld was always a favoiuite. Both gnls weie rejected foi theii many \iitues, and tlieii fi lends at Philadelphia were nuineious.

The Worth Otauo Timns states that Mr John Reid, of Eldei die, has puu-hibed at Home, at a \ciy high fitjuie, ,i pme-bie.id Clydesdale stallion named t'.e I'ii.le of Galloway. His number in the Stud Hook is 601. He was bought by Mr Reid fiom Loul Polwaith, of "Mcitoun, Scotland, and was thought so much of that he was selected for throe seasons to tia\el in the Galesluels distiict. His site is Gladstone, the winner of the second piize at the Kelso Highland So<-ipcy's meeting in 1872. Pi ide of Gallow ay is desci ibed asa dappled brown, standing Hi hands ',] inches liigh, with good bone, shape, figure and action, as well as pin it} ofpedigiee. MrKeid's purchase is evidently destined to impiove the stock of the district, Tin: Noith Otago Times contains Hip following ■— " Tlie high chai actor ot the Oamaiu stock of Ajrslmc cattle has appaiently become known in tlie sistei colonies, foi w e leain that Mc^sis A and J. M'Farlano have sold 10 of their two-year-liold Ik i Fei •«, at an aveiage of 25 guineas per head, to a well-known breeder in Sydney. The tiansaction was closed to-daj by cable, and the youngsters will i-hux tly be shipped to the patent colony. The same gentleman lias previously made pin chases of Ayrshiies from Mcbsis M'Failane, and one of the two-year old heifeis sent out last year obtained the fiist pi i/-o for cows a few months back." Hkiii: is lather a good stoiy, hailing from the Continent A l^elijian bi idegroom, not many days ago, being about to stait for Pans on his honeymoon tour, was informed by his biidr- that she thought of concealing seveial thousand francs' woith of lace bout her, hoping by its sale to pay the cost of their journey. Thebiidegroom was not, however, smitten with the fiugal project, and pointed out that theie were custom house oilicers and a female searcher at Eicquelines, who weie sometimes stiuck with an unaccountablefancy for examining passenger' pockets. This he said, being a timid man, and his bride, to humour him, piomised to gi\e up her plan, but, ot eouise, she secieted he lace all the same without telling him an anything about it. As the tiam appioached the Ficnch fiontier the husband inflected that if his wife were not scaichcd his fears would be mocked at as having been gioundlcss, and he would stait on his mimed caieer with his piesti<re imp.iii etl. This was not desiiablo. The lathci wa 1 - it essential that he should fiom the outset asset t his infallibility. So when the tiain stopped at Eicduolincs, and ths passengeis alighted, the lk-lgian biidcgroom left his bride s side for a moment, and sliding up to a custon bouse ollicer M'hispeied, " I think if you scnu-h that lady yonder you may tind sonic lace." The oilicer winked, and the happy bride was accosted with an imitation to walk into the female &earchei's loom. She turned pale and tottered, bur was led away, and tive minutes later dismal sounds of hystcncs weie hcaid. Then the officer reappeau'd, and said to the horrified husband, 'Thank you, sir, it is a good eaptuie. The lady will go to prison and half the fine av ill go to you." O.nk iSlJiruMi. — Fiancis J.
