THE NEW GUINEA FRONTURATE
SYDNEY, 28th January, A Cabinet Coneoit was held this morning, when, it is believed, the course parend by the Government in connection with New Guinea was definitely decided: The Government tale graphed to tho Agent-General ita dissent from the viow taken by the Colonial office as to ex- blusive liability of the Australian colonies for maintaining the necessary establishment to on- able the Commissionier to exercise his Lauetions. It was distinctly pointed out the salonies only pledged themselves to a specifis enm for year w Bading June cent. It was clearly understood. the imperial Government would supplement that sam. Tais Gorerament is not indisposed if similar gotion is taken by other colonias propor- Líunately increase the contribution on the dis- tinot understanding the Imperial Government will make a fair contribution.
As no means have han provided for carrying Colonial Raratebley to New Guinea the Govern ment have dooded to offer him the use of the Wolverine for six months, on the distinct under- standing tão prosent cost and bor maintenance will alone be defrayed by them. The offer has boon accepted, xad Colonel Soratelloy will pro- bably take bis departure for Now Gaines in about a month. He leaves on Monday or Tues- day for Melbourne, and will go thenos to Tar Hanis and New Zealand.
As late Professor was ons day walking nese Aberdeen, he a well-known individual of weak intellat.Prag," mid the Professor, how long can a person live without brains?"— "I dinna ken," replied Jommy, saratobing his hand. "How anld are ye yoursal' ?”
America ought to be asplendid fold for English fortune-huntora. According to an American con temporary, Miss Elicaliath Garrett in the richest single lady of the United States: the estimates of her fortana run all the way from 15,000,000 dallar to 50,000,000 dolinta, Henry E. Packer's mister as a life interest in 160,000 shares of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, the dividende of which aurant to 760.000 dollars annually. Mrs. A. R Allen, of St. Louis, pays tares on 1,197,000 dol- lars, and Miss Rernica Morris, of the same city, is taxed at 964,990 dollars. There is a cattle qaon-named Rogers, Loar Corpus Christi, Tox who owns 40,000 cattle, and is worth over 1,000,000 dollára. Catherine Wolfe, of New York, the daughter of old Peter Wolfe, who married Lorillard's two sistera, and got 1,000,000 dollars with each of them, has an income of 500,000 dollars a year, and she owns real estate to the amount of about 5,000,000 dollars. Like Mrs. Rogeri, of Teras, she is about fifty years old and plai inall her habits. She is single, tos, and ahs lives all alone in a big konsa on Madison Avenue and Twenty-fourth Streets, New York. A story has reached us from the thires illus trativa of the uning of the fox, which wo think is hard to boat. It appears that during the last ran of the Fitzwilliam Hounds the fox, after heading for Rossington Station as rattling pace," suddenly enght conssalment in a bed of rushes near the Carrs. On being driven from his hiding-place he made for the railway, when he deliberately lay down on the permanent. way and refused to badge." As an express train was approaching, the huntain was of course compelled to draw off bis honode. The fox, how ever, remained where he was, until the train got within a short distance and "then quietly mado af." Since the days when the fox took in the county paper to assortain when and whers the mests of the bounds ware to take place, and the wolf, whose terrible cunning was so nearly fatal to Little Red Riding Hood, we have scarcely
ver heard a more remarkable tale.
Among the numborless anecdotes in Mr. O'Shea's most anaing reminiscences, the follow ing is a good me of the Moor whe inquired for 'he first time Mr. O'shes went

It was the Moor of my youthful dreams. He made z aurore bow, and maid, in excellent English, Do you know Mark Twain?" It took Mr. O'Shea some moments to get over the shock, which he says, was so if a donche of cold water had booz dashed in his face; and then he replied, "If you mean Mr. Clemens, is American, who writes fanny books under that name, I do." "He has mentioned me in one of them," and the majestín figure produced from one of his wide sleaves Botten's pirated edition of "The Innovanta Abroad, and pointed to a turn-down page.
