The Christchurch correspondent of the Okaya Witness calls altention to the desirability of milking sheep in the colony for the purpose of choss-making. If this suggestisipas adaptad on a large scale it would add an article of export that would be of great vahu. There is no cheses to be compared for rinkness and flavour to that made from the milk of the sheep. In the boy- kood of the writer some 50 years ago they were universally wilked in Wale The custom was given up. we believe, becaus it was shown that, it the lambe were left longer running with the dam, they could be sold a yearlings at a price aqual to what was realised br them as two-year- olds, Wo don't know Roquefort obeeze; bat we never tasted anything equal to the shoop milk sheese of old Wallis.

The Pioneer is not surprised at remours being parront that the extension of the Queita Rail. way to Kandahar has been tolded pan," when Sir John Gorst in the House of Commons gires slipshod answers to questie conserning that line. The other day he stated that the railway through the Bolan had roubed Quette and that proliminary surveys had been made barend that atation "in the direction of Kandahar. would have been well to stale that these surveyshare. were made simply to discover the best way of Dressing the Khojak Amma Range and wire carried out in British teritory only. The rail way has actually hear sancliynad only to the ont- Iring spars of the muge in the Quella silu. The question of holding to line from the Kho. jak onwards to Kandaliar, in which project the Ameer would naturally have most to say, bo not yet been broached even.
The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes:-There is a small agitation going on of a fashionable kind in favour of the marriage benever the time and event arriv
of the Prince of Wulce's ellest son to some Eng lish lady and that so the practice, which in the. case of the House of Brariok has been uni- form, of going abroad to find o consort for the King or Queen of these redes should be abon. doned. The reasons for and against such a mar rings used not be discusad; they are suflciently evident bath as matter uffstandssatiment. But there is the question of les, which really, under the provision of the Royal Marriages Act, resta solely with the Sovereign, Without the consent of the Queen auch a martigs would be illegal. The Queen's consout must be declared in Cuaucil bat the assent of the Connoil je neodless, and that of Parliament is taken only in regard to the pecuniary provision on the marriage or upon Address to the Crowi.
An amusing story has bon going the round of the French papers respecting a Genoral whose recent duelling arploits base excited somo amare- ment both in England and on the Continent, This worthy brave is sail to be possed of an extraordinary coat of mail. One day, so the story goes, General wat for a clever artisan in Paris, and deraanded of him whether he would engage to make a coat of mail, to be worn auder the ordinary dress, which would be absolutely aword and lullet proof The man promised to deas requested, naming 1900 francs as the price of it. The bargain was speedily concluded, sud in due time the article was brought round to the Ganeral's banne The Goeral jock it up, care fully examined it, saul, turaing to the man, told kin to put it on. The un did as he was bid. "As you guarantor the offency of your coat, you will have, I prosame, no objection to my tasting it drily remarked the Gmoral, and before the astonished artisan could protest, he took a brace at pistols and discharged them. Half-dead with fear, the man stood the de, and, to the great credit of his workmanship, with complate im panity. Bat the General as not content with one trial. En fired a seasid pistol at the back of the man, and afterwardsdikobargol o fowling- piece at bim with similar affect, or rather non- fact He also tried in sain to pierce the cost with a sword: The gallant General was so da lighted with his new garment that he handed the artisan two cheques for 19,000f., the first being the sum agreed on, and the sound cheque in compensation for the fright he had given him.
