We record with sincere sorrow the death of Judge Bond, which occurred yes'erday (Tuesday) evening at Nelson. The Press Association wires the following particulars :—" His Honour Judge Broad died suddenly this evening. He had just sat down to dinner when be was seizud with an apoplectic fit. Dr Mackie was instantly called m, but the judge died a few minutes after the doctor's arrival, death being accelerated by weakness of the heart. Lowther Broad was a warden on the Otago goldfields, and subsequently served in the same capacity at the Thames. About 20 years ago he was appointed resident magistrate and warden at Nelson, and later on was appointed District Gouit Judge. la 1873, in connection with the Nelson Exhibition, of wbich he was vice-president, he waa awarded the first prize for his tale of goldfields life. He was also the author of several law books, including two editions of ' Digest of Cases in District Courts, 1 and two editions cf ' The Resident Magistrates' Court Guide,' ' Justices' Handy Book,' • The Law of Innkeepers,' besides •The Jubihe History of Nelson. 1 He was about editing a fourth edition of ' Jadge Johnston's New Zealand Justice of the Peace.' His sudden death has thrown a gloom over tha town, for Mr Broad waa esteemed greatly. He leaves a widow and nine children." Judge Eroad was in every respect a most estimable citizen and a most excellent man. As a Catholic he waa sincere and devoted, and hia cervices to religion in the colony were very great. In all the relations of life his loss will be deeply felt. We tender to Mrs Broad and her children our heartfelt and respectful sympathy.— Ji J.P.

go far as Glasgow is concerned (saye the Observer of July 9), the General Klection is over. Everything considered, the advocates o Home Eule have no cause to grumble at the result. Indeed, it wa anticipated by all. Though three Unionists go to St Stephen* from Glasgow, only one of the trio can say he baa a mandate from the

electors. The other two have to thank Liberal defection for their return. Abont such victories there can be no glory. Home Rule had thumping majorities in six of the Glasgow divisions, and in the seventh the Unionist majority was polled down by over 500 votes. A fbxbnd resident at Masterton has sent ns a subscription of 10s in aid of the testimonial to be presented by the raembeiß of the Catholic Press to the Holy Father on the occasion of his episcopal jubilee. We congratulate our friend on his generous and trnly Uatholic'spirit. General J. S. Clabkson has pronounced the following rather pertinent opinion relative to the strike at Carnegie's: —"Mr Carnegie is a man of vast fortune and his wealth has been made by his workmen; In saying this T do not belittle Mr Carnegie's marvellous faculty for accumulation . He has written a great deal about triumphant democracy and the responsibilities of wealth, and created the impression among many tbat he is at heart a philanthropist, Now is his opportunity to show that this reputation is deserved. Those workmen cannot be wrong in objecting to the treatment they are now subjected to. There have been no convulsions in business that could possibly make those great reductions necessary. As I understand it the workmen have built their homes there and made the town. There is no place for them to go and they must rely upon Carnegie for a living. He has discussed tbe beauties of co-operation in magazine articles and now he Bhould put his theories into practice." It is a curious fact (says the Dublin Freeman of July 9) that both the candidates at tbe famous Galway election of 1872, Colonel Nolan and Colonel French, are opposing the Irish party at this General Election. The former Colonel (for whom tbe priests and people of Ireland then raised a fund of £16,000). is fighting for the Factionists in North Galway, and the other Colonel is fighting for the Unionists in Whitechapel. His opponent is a Jew— Mr Samuel Montagu— one of the best friends Ireland had in the House of Commons. Tbe English Jews are almost to a man in favoar of the Irish Party, and when Ireland stood almost friendless in the House of Commons, a Jew — Sir John Simon — was her constant and fearless friend, a Btaunch opponent of coercion, when scarcely another British member had tbe courage to oppose that nefarious system. He was educated with Irish boys, and he learned from them how like th 6 history of his own highly gifted but unfortunate race was that of the people of Ireland, And the impression thus early formed has governed all tbe politics of his manhood. It was always a source of the deepest gratification to him to know that the people whom he so loved were the only nation in Europe that never persecuted the Jewish race. The Great event of the week has, of course, been the defeat of Lord Salisbury's Government, which took place on Thursday the 11th inst, by a majority of 40 in favour of tbe amendment to the Address-in-Reply, the division being the largest on record. On Saturday Lord Salisbury banded in his resignation to the Queen and Mr Gladstone was summoned to attend at Osborne. All sorts of rumours prevail as to the personnel of the new Government, but so far little is definitely known. Parliament has been adjourned until tomorrow (Thursday). The results in London (9ays the Glasgow Observer of July 9) have not quite come up to the very glowing expectations formed at the close of the County Council Elections. We have not " swepi the metropolis " as it was grandiloquently prophesied, but we have done very well. The victories of Monday in the West Hams were an excellent omen, and though the result there has not been generally repeated, there is much to be satisfied with as things stand. Sir Charles Russell holds his seat with a splendidly augmented majority, although it is once more tbe ill-fortune of Mr Coatelloe to be on the losing Bide. Lord Salisbury's" black man"haß won in Finsbury after a very close contest, and H. M. Stanley, to our profound gratification, has lost Lambeth. Although results have been sc unkind, the polling shows a remarkable manifestation in our favour. In many notable instances the Home Rule vote was expanded, On the whole we have every reason for satisfaction with London's performances. For London, it was not half bad.

Mrs Richardson's chemist shop, Westport, is now situated more centrally, and the new manager, Mr T. M. Carroll, has quite altered the whole appearance of things. The shep is a model of neatness, and it is to be hoped, under its popular manager, it will command a good trade. We have been sent by the Dunedin manager of the Kaitangata Coal Co,, a pretty story entitled "J. Cole," and written by fimma Gellibrand. It is one of the publications of the " Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge "—but contains nothing that can offend in the slightest degree. On the contrary, it may be read with profit and interest by every one. It is a simple tale, told with originality and pathos.
