AN IMPERIAL OPTIMIST.

Enthusiasm is abching, and no people "proad the contagion more quickly than Now Zominadora.: Fire ministas" talk with one of them and you are a confirmed optimist.

I remember, when in New Zealand tan Fears ago, how the late Mr Richard Seddon, or "King Dick," us ho was called, dominated everybody with his gigantie person, his hearty manner, his unciving Fonergy, and his incurable confidenon that never failed or faltered.

THE ROLLING STONE. Irishmen, ke Scots, Eave the habit of success when they are caught young and transplanted. Sir Joseph Ward was born. in Australia of Irish parents, arid settled in New Zealand when three years old, so than like Mr Gladstone, be may claim three nationalities. At the age of twelve he was |

telegraph messenger, and at fourteen he was earning £130 year. From the tele graph office he passed into a store, whore, among other duties, he incidentally looked after the businaga side of three newspapers 1 : At seventeen he left the stars and the news papers and took to the milway. At twenty- one ho abandoned the ilway to start an export and general business of his own. At wonty-two he was Mayor of Campbelltown, and held the post for five years in succes.
