ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

J. C. (Invercargill).—Manning, was . made . a Cardinal in 1875, Newman in 1879. "A Mother." Cheer up. Your boy will like our . new serial. If not, buy Jack and the Beamtalk for him. A. C. (Te Mata). —No, not a Sinn Fein oath. The reference was to a Jesuit oath and a Hibernian oathboth forgeries. "* M. O'S.General Robertson is an Englishman and a - . Protestant; born in Lancashire, we believe. Unless we are mistaken, some released prisoners have already arrived in England. "Voice No. 2 from the Wilderness. 7 ' —Give us a chance. You are only lazy, and have as much opportunity for hunting up such information as we have. Moreover, it will do you good. We don't mind searching for things that the ordinary reader could not be expected to lay his hand on by simply stretching it out. But when we are asked such silly questions as, How many times did Desert Gold get her shoes changed in Australia, or what sort of perfume Mr. Massey uses, we beg leave to go on strike for a bit. We also object to being asked one week to repeat things' we have published during the preceding week or two weeks. Imitate "Voice No. 1," and have sense. A Happy Christmas, anyhow.
